Chapter 39: Finding the Mascot

Yun Zhao still has some yearning for Qinglou......

I have lived two lifetimes and have never officially been to the Qinglou, I have to say that this is a big pain point in a man's life.

The last time I went to Mingyue Tower, I went to look for Li Dingguo, although I only secretly glanced at the Mingyue girl who was waiting for Li Dingguo to bathe, but until now I still have the appearance of this Qinglou celebrity who has only met once.

Qian Duoduo didn't say anything...... Feng Ying's figure is also good, but despite this, Yun Zhao is still very envious that Qian Shaoshao can go to the newly opened Mianyue Tower to sing and recite poems.

The fantasy Qinglou is the most charming, and the fantasy Qinglou prostitute is the most amorous, Yun Zhao knows this, and he also knows that many literary works since ancient times have long made prostitution highly literary.

After all, this is an elegant thing done by literati, and if you want to go there without spending money, you can only slap the sycophants of the prostitutes in Qinglou hard, in exchange for a spring festival.

Yun Zhao has always looked down on cultural people, especially after not verifying the hardness of cultural people's bones, Yun Zhao has always scorned them.

Especially after becoming the emperor, he didn't have much affection for this group anymore.

Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't like readers, because he is illiterate at first, but he can't do without readers, so every time he sees a reader dancing and writing ink, he can't help but wonder: Will they scold me in the article?

The reason why Yun Zhao doesn't like people who read books is purely because after reading books, people's minds become complicated, and it is not easy to see through them at a glance.

Overall, neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Yun Zhao is a qualified emperor.

In Shanxi, there is a rich man who inadvertently dug out a white stone when digging coal, and there is a dragon character on the white stone, and then this guy thinks that he is the true dragon emperor.

He took this stone as a treasure, and began to secretly wonder if he could be the emperor, in order to further see if Yun Zhao, the current emperor, had a tendency to die violently, he specially came to Yushan City.

Naturally, a foreigner like him in Yushan City could not enter without formalities, but he had heard a lot of rumors about Yun Zhao's night sheng song in Chang'an City, so he firmly believed that Yun Zhao would not have a good life for a few years.

Immediately return home and prepare for your own great career.

At this time, his younger brother left the Punishment Division and told his brother about hiding the Dragon Stone.

The Shen Criminal Division checked the "Lantian Law" and did not find a provision that it would be illegal to collect dragon stones, so he reprimanded the younger brother of the rich man and blasted him away.

After learning about this, the rich man of the earth became more and more convinced that he was the chosen son, and that such a disaster could be avoided, and it must be the heavens that protected him in the dark.

Then, he recruited troops among the miners, actively prepared his own army, and prepared to wait for the time to come, so that he could sweep the world in one fell swoop, and finally sit on the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan......

Then, he was sued by the generalissimo of soldiers and horses recruited by himself, this time, the evidence was conclusive, this damned rich man, was imprisoned, and after the trial of the Ministry of Law, he thought that this guy was messing around again, and according to the previous precedent, he was sentenced to six years in prison.

However, at the same time, he also thought that he was a very dangerous guy, so he sent him to the Western Regions to pioneer.

If it was just like this, it wouldn't be enough to alarm people like Qian Shaoshao, after this guy arrived in the Western Regions, he actually thought that he could escape without being taken away by the Zhulian Nine Clans, and he was completely taken care of by God.

Relying on his own strength and some money, he soon gathered a group of people in Dunhuang, who were reclaimers during the day, and at night, he became a robber who killed people and oversold goods, and did all kinds of evil.

When he was at his strongest, there were no less than 800 people under his command, and what they did even alarmed the Dunhuang garrison for a time, and it took several times before they captured this guy from the devil's city.

At this time, a rich man in Shanxi has transformed into a murderous giant.

The army's attitude towards Jukou is completely different from that of the law officials in Kannai, and if they are caught, they will undoubtedly be shot, and after a random shot, they will shoot this guy and more than 30 of his companions together.

In the Gobi, there is no need to even collect the corpse, as long as it is dark, the wolves on the Gobi will clean up the corpse.

No one thought that this rich man named Liu Fugui was shot twice, and although he was beaten bloody, he actually came back to life before dark, and after climbing two miles on the Gobi, he returned to a hidden robber's den, and after living there for three months, he became a majestic man again.

This time, when he began to recruit his subordinates again, he actually had the effect of responding to all calls, and in just one month, he had more than 1,000 subordinates, calling himself the White Stone King!

Yun Zhao took a breath and finished reading the paperwork that Qian Shaoshao brought, then stared at him and said, "Has this Baishi King been caught?" ”

Qian Shaoshao said: "The Dunhuang guards dispatched four times, but he escaped, and when I received this document, Liu Fugui, the king of Baishi, was still on the run, and at least two of these four pursuits were nidal situations, and they were all escaped by this person."

On one occasion, his war horse was already exhausted, and at this time, he encountered an ownerless wandering horse! ”

Yun Zhao gasped and said, "This person's luck is so good? ”

Qian Shaoshao frowned and said, "It's incredible. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm going to go to Dunhuang in person, I don't believe that he can escape from my Wuzhi Mountain!"

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Don't kill this person after finding him, bring him back to see me." ”

Qian Shaoshao said: "I am going to kill him when I see him, so as not to become a disaster in the future." ”

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "You must keep this kind of person with great luck for me, it will be of great use." ”

"Aren't you afraid?"

Yun Zhao smiled, laughing and almost losing his breath, he finally came to his senses and patted Qian Shaoshao's shoulder and said, "From the beginning of our army to the present, which time did we rely on luck?"

Today's Ming foundation has been solid, not any lucky person can be knocked down, if this kind of thing really happens, it means that the fault is us, not Liu Fugui. ”

Qian Shaoshao frowned and said, "What do you want this person to do?" ”

Yun Zhao lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth and said, "Go and do something that is lifeless." ”

"What does it mean to be dead and alive?"

"It's simple, it's a matter of going to die! Maybe this person can surprise us. ”

"Where to go?"

"The sea!"

Qian Shaoshao nodded approvingly, he knew that Yun Zhao had always wanted to have a route from Guangzhou to the Americas, and initially set that this route should start from Guangzhou Port and go south to the East China Sea through the Osumi Strait.

Either it can cross the Sea of Japan through the Tsushima Strait to the north, or enter the Pacific Ocean through the Kiyotsu Strait.

Or through the Soya Strait, through the Sea of Okhotsk into the North Pacific Ocean and finally to the Americas.

Now, these three options are not favored by Han Xiufen and Shi Lang, they agree that they should go to Europe first, and then cross the Atlantic to reach the Americas, but Yun Zhao has no interest in this mature route.

After all, this kind of behavior of circumnavigating the earth is really stupid.

Daming must have its own route that can directly dock with the Americas, a route that does not have to be controlled by others.

Now, Han Xiufen has prepared an experienced crew member who wants money and death, and after choosing a battleship, he is just about to have a mascot on board, Yun Zhao feels that this Liu Fugui must be qualified for the position of mascot.

"In this case, I will hurry to Dunhuang, and at the same time, I will also inform the Dunhuang guards first, not to hurt this Liu Fugui."

Qian Shaoshao finished speaking, and left in a hurry, Han Xiufen's warship was already full of all kinds of deceitful and beautiful things, just waiting for the monsoon to blow, and he was about to carry out the first large-scale sea expedition of the Ming Dynasty.

"This Liu Fugui is so good?"

Yun Zhao returned home, and Qian Duoduo immediately came over to ask about Liu Fugui.

"This kind of person can't die, it should be a person with good luck, I just do it for waste use, mainly to give some psychological comfort to the crew who are ready to go on an expedition."

"Also, this ocean expedition, our family has paid a lot of money, and it should have been paid by the Prime Minister's Office with state funds, but unfortunately, Zhang Guozhu's brainless man just refused, and said that this was an undisputed waste, although he had a lot of national funds in his hand, there was not a copper plate that could be wasted.

Husband, in the future, this kind of thing will be paid for by our family, right? ”

Yun Zhao looked at Qian Duoduo, who was much more sensible, and said with a smile: "In Europe, many expeditions are funded by the royal family, and the origin is the travelogue of Marco Polo, a Venetian merchant during the Yuan Dynasty, which portrays the East, that is, our Ming Dynasty, as a paradise full of gold, wealth and prosperity, which has caused a boom in the West to the East to find gold.

However, the rise of the Ottoman Empire, the control of the east-west communication arteries, the wanton taxation and extortion of merchants who crossed the border, plus the war and piracy, the trade between the east and the west was seriously hindered.

There were many kings, most of whom was the King of Portugal, who financed many outlaws to sail their ships in search of a route that would avoid extortion from the Ottoman Empire.

And then, that's it, they discovered the Cape of Good Hope, the end of Africa, the New World, and the Americas.

Duoduo, this kind of investment is actually a kind of profitable investment, as long as there is a ship successful, it can bring us countless wealth, and an unprecedented bright future. ”

Qian Duoduo is a woman who has seen the sea, and when she heard her husband say that she was so ambitious, she couldn't help but whisper: "It's too dangerous." ”

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "People only see successful explorers and see them make a lot of money, but they don't know that there are many more explorers who have died on the sea, but overall, it is worth it."

We can try it, fund some ships, leave Daming and go everywhere, maybe there will be a big discovery? ”
