It's a trick!

The duke felt a little dizzy.

It was like drinking alcohol.

The slightly smoky feeling began to appear in front of his eyes. He seemed to see that there seemed to be holy light in the sky, and many angels were singing hymns.

The blood still trickled out from his wrist.

He said with difficulty: "What do you have in the Ming Dynasty, what are your opinions on its ships and their navy?"

Wang Xi bowed and replied, "This is a group of robbers, a group of madmen. They are cruel and rude, and a group of shameless pagans. However... most of their ships are not equipped with enough firepower, their artillery, shabby, their sailors are ragged, pale and thin... Yes, yours, they are vulnerable, and... their administrative system is like a bloated mud-footed giant, seemingly huge, but in fact, they only use the emperor as the center. Whoever controls their emperor can surrender."

This is a very fresh insight.

Of course, Wang Xizuo had been in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, so of course he had a foresight and outstanding knowledge about the Ming Dynasty.

Especially when it comes to the Ming Dynasty, Wang Xi looked like he gritted his teeth.

The duke was silent for a moment, and his eyelids could hardly be lifted up.

The barber observed the blood flowing out of him and muttered something.

The Duke said, "Submit?"

"Yes." Wang Xizuo said with confidence: "Their capital is only a hundred miles away from the port. As long as they can destroy their navy and occupy their port, this port is called Tianjin, then they can march towards their capital and capture their emperor. Then, the entire Ming Empire will be surrendered. They... there are countless wealth there, and their emperors hide countless treasures in the palace..."

Then, Wang Xizhu took out a sheepskin map from his clothes, he took it out and opened it.

The Portuguese governor and priests on the side came forward one after another. This was a very detailed map marked. The map clearly recorded the deployment of troops in the entire Ming Dynasty’s capital area, as well as mountains and rivers...

The Portuguese governor had a thought, but soon he calmed down.

A servant sent the map to the Duke. The Duke lay down and saw the map slowly unfolding in front of him. His eyes were deep, and he stared at the map. Then, he let out a long sigh.

Seeing this, the barber next to him immediately said, "God, the devil in your body has not been dispersed, and we should further heal."

The barber's expression was solemn. He took out his razor. The sharp razor was not dry. But the next moment, the razor cut a hole into the duke's wrist.

This time, the hole was so big that the flesh turned outwards. The old wound that had gradually condensed blood suddenly became like a river flooding, and the fresh blood tumbling out.

The Duke felt that he was already strong.

But... he must be healed to fight against the devil.

Illusions began to appear in his mind. He saw the light, saw countless ships, galloping across the ocean, unable to see countless wealth, seeing...

He tried hard to calm himself down and continued, "Okay, very good, you did a good job, come and give him thirty gold coins. From now on, you will be my personal consultant, if... if we can conquer the Ming Dynasty, you will be double rewarded."

A servant had already taken out a small bag, and a pleasant sound was made inside.

Wang Xizuo took the small bag of gold coins and bowed quickly and said, "Your Excellency, I am willing to serve you."

Here are thirty Spanish gold dollars, well... it's a lot, at least worth a few hundred taels of silver.

Wang Xizuo put the bag in his arms and respectfully said goodbye to the luxurious room.

Just the moment he walked out of the room.

The Duke said to the clerk: "Please prepare a long letter to the king in my name. He needs to know immediately what is happening here, and... this map..."

After he said these words with difficulty...

It feels like at this moment that although the devil is lost in his body, his life seems to be losing.

The priest beside him whispered in the duke's ear, saying, "Your Excellency, this person is not worthy of trust..."

"I know." The Duke said hard: "These... are a group of exiled liars and thieves. How could I... I trust such people, so... I rewarded him thirty 'Piasters', and promised that after we succeed, we would reward him more, gold coins, and God's whip... cough... cough... will drive him to do anything."

The priest nodded, and he held the Holy Book and agreed with it.

The duke's blood began to condense again.

It seems that the wound is not big enough.

The barber continued to start bleeding him.

...

When Wang Xizuo came out of the governor's mansion, he was holding a bag of gold coins in his hand, but at this moment, suddenly the bell rang.

Suddenly, someone started singing the hymn.

Wang Xizuo turned around and looked at the huge mansion. At this time, he couldn't help scratching his head...

It seems like... I became a private consultant for a quarter of an hour and was unemployed again.

...

A shroud with a cross embroidered on the duke's head was covered with.

The priest, with a group of children, holding candles, began to sing hymns in grief.

The duke's face was covered with a shroud, and the blood was as tragic as white paper. He opened his blue eyes wide, but unfortunately, the eyes had lost any blood.

The barber had packed up his tools and stepped aside. As he said, health depends on the result of the battle between good and evil gods. Unfortunately, the noble Duke, although he kept releasing harmful blood in his body, still could not resist the erosion of the devil.

The barber looked regretful. This was the ninth person summoned by God this year, but... what can I do? This is all God's arrangement.

…………

Zhenguo Mansion.

The atmosphere today is surprisingly solemn.

The debt collector is here.

Baoding is not far from the West Mountain, especially now that the road has been built.

Ouyang Zhi arrived here soon in a car.

Liu Jin also came with him.

Ouyang Zhi stood here like a wooden stake.

The new policy has reached its most critical moment.

Debt is plagued by, and although tax revenue is increasing, the expenses are getting bigger and bigger.

The problem is that if the silver is circulating wildly, it will be a disaster if it breaks.

Ouyang Zhi led a group of people to fight hard, groping on thin ice, and what they were walking was a road they had never walked before.

Now, the railway is going to be built.

It is impossible not to repair it, and the merchants are very popular.

You can't charge others' business taxes, just kick them away.

Furthermore, the repair of this railway is simply beneficial to the country and the people, and it has greater and greater benefits for the promotion of the new policy.

Especially Tongzhou and Baoding Prefecture, they are constantly siphoning the population of nearby prefectures and counties. This population is increasing, and the population is becoming increasingly dense, so there is no need to mention the past of goods.

The existing roads cannot be withstood.

Liu Jin came here and was recalled by Zhu Houzhao.

This grandson heard that he was very happy in Baoding Mansion, which annoyed Zhu Houzhao. You are a slave in this palace, why did you become an uncle?

Gu Dayong and those people were always in front of the Prince's Hall, making trouble and talking about Liu Jin's scenery outside.

I originally thought that His Highness the Crown Prince would become more and more alienate to him, so that he would become a safe person around His Highness.

But who knows that His Highness... summoned him... back.

Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao entered the lobby.

sit down.

Liu Jin was sitting and was kneading melon seeds. When he saw His Highness and Master Gan come in, he immediately got up. He became fatter and fatter. He swallowed the melon seeds and said with difficulty: "I have seen Your Highness, Master Gan."

Liu Jin was busy pouring tea and handing water to Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan.

Gu Dayong, who was standing beside Zhu Houzhao, wanted to die at this moment. He looked at Liu Jin with a resentful look, but he still had to show a welcome look.

Fang Jifan raised the teacup and sipped the tea: "How much money can Baoding and Tongzhou raise?"

"Return to the teacher's words." Ouyang's demeanor was extraordinary, and this was a kind of demeanor that had been experienced and practiced: "The tax silver that can be raised now is only 800,000 taels."

Eighty hundred thousand taels can still be raised, even the national treasury will be overshadowed by it.

Baoding has money, but it won’t be possible if you don’t want to accept it.

Fang Jifan frowned: "Now Baoding and Tongzhou owed Xishan Money House tens of millions of taels of silver. Over the past year, I will have to pay hundreds of thousands of taels of taels of principal and interest."

"Yes, so I can't borrow any more, but the railway has been planned and the early exploration has been done. It costs a lot, and the students are really helpless. I'm here to ask for advice."

Zhu Houzhao crossed her legs and stared at Liu Jin coldly beside her. Liu Jin hurriedly squeezed out a smile, almost shouting "eggplant".

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "I want money, so I remembered my teacher. You brothers, none of them are fuel-efficient."

Ouyang Zhi had no expression on his face.

This dog is not ashamed at all.
