Matteo Ricci's words made Qu Rukui frown.

He pondered for a moment before releasing his brow, then nodded.

"Although this law is not perfect, for example, it is feasible for small countries and widows, but it can be put into the entire Ming Dynasty, but there are many difficulties, and what should be done in case the Audit Office and the local government are complicit? How exactly should we supervise officials from the local level to the central government? The officials of the Ming Dynasty protect each other, and those officials under Xiao Zhennan are afraid that they will not be much better.

But in the case of a military general, it is possible to think of such an administrative law, and it can still operate, which is indeed not simple, the old man has also heard in Guangdong in recent years that the maritime merchants of Myanmar Town are very prosperous, many Tibetan people go to Myanmar to do business, and many Ming coastal merchants also go to Myanmar and Siam to do business, which shows that Xiao Zhennan's financial management is very good.

If it is only used to govern the army, I am afraid that it will not work so well, in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that no one can allow him to act like this, the court does not care about Burma, and regards Myanmar as a place of exile for prisoners, and now, I am afraid that it will change, by the way, Mr. Li, you are doing things by Xiao Zhennan's side, what kind of people can Xiao Zhennan do by his side? ”

Matteo Ricci nodded.

"There is a Mr. Yuan Huang Yuan who is General Xiao's right-hand man and helps General Xiao deal with many administrative matters."

"Yuan Lifan? This rumor is actually true, it is rumored that this person went to Myanmar after resigning, and later went to his hometown, asking his hometown friends to go south to help Xiao Zhennan govern Myanmar, but it is said that only his son Yuan Yan and disciple Chen Longzheng went south, and none of the rest went south, Xiao Zhennan only has these three assistants, can also be so popular? ”

Qu Rukui stroked his beard and exclaimed with a look of amazement: "The old man has a little idea of going to Myanmar to have a look, this place has always been regarded as a wild place, and the old man has never wanted to see it." ”

"That's just right! Taisu, I came out on the orders of General Xiao, and when my business is done, you can go to Myanmar with me, and I will invite you to eat mung bean cake. ”

Qu Rukui was stunned for a moment.

"Mung bean cake? What's that? Mung beans made of pastry? ”

"Well, yes, the climate in Myanmar is hot, General Xiao made mung bean cake with mung beans that can cool off the heat, the taste is sweet and soft, and it is eaten with tea, it is simply intoxicating, basically the residents in Myanmar have eaten mung bean cake, the price is not expensive, everyone can afford to eat it."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? The old man really wants to see it......"

Qu Rukui groaned.

Because of the need for money to settle the relationship up and down, Matteo Ricci asked reliable people from the port of Guangzhou to set up a ship to Luzon Island to ask for money through Qu Rukui's relationship, and then transported it back from the port of Guangzhou after the money came, and gave Matteo Ricci as activity funds and dotted up and down with Fujian officials.

Relying on Qu Rukui's connections and influence, explaining the fact that there are no gold and silver mountains on Luzon, prompting the emperor to dispel this idea, Matteo Ricci regarded himself as a diplomat, and he was indeed doing the work of a diplomat, but there was no way, there were too few foreigners who knew Chinese.

And Matteo Ricci himself is one of the more proficient, many things have to be communicated through him, few people in the Ming Dynasty can speak Spanish and Portuguese, and the translators in the capital do not know Portuguese and Spanish.

These missionaries were the earliest translators, helping the Chinese and Europeans in the Ming Dynasty to achieve the initial communication, and they played a large role.

There was some rumor on the Luzon side, and suddenly the news of Matteo Ricci came, and the Philippine Governor General breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly ordered a batch of gold and silver for people to send to Guangzhou as funds for Matteo Ricci's activities.

After Matteo Ricci thanked him, he asked Qu Rukui to show him how to deal with Chinese officialdom, he had seen some low-level missionaries deal with corrupt clergy in the middle and upper levels of the church, but he didn't know much about Chinese officialdom.

Qu Rukui instructed him little by little, how to make a little bit of interpersonal relationships, and thread the needle and thread to the court eunuch who had the right to decide.

The eunuch got a not very good errand this time, he went to Nanyang, and he was half dead, because there was no place to send him back and forth, so the local officials were not in a hurry to curry favor with him, and there were some people who were in a hurry to get promoted and make a fortune, and most of the officials did not bird him.

As long as there is a local dispatch, especially in the south of the Yangtze River and the southeast coast, it can definitely make a lot of money, and you can earn the future pension money when you go out, but if there is no local dispatch, it will be a little worse.

No one needs you to say good things in front of the emperor, there is no handle in hand, the officials are not panicked, there are so many people who don't want to break the bank and avoid disasters, except for the local officials where the eunuchs temporarily live on the way have to come out to meet, most of them don't need to ask for a meeting with a shy face, and the eunuchs don't have much income.

This time it was even more so, going to the South Seas to find the gold mountain in Luzon, this kind of dispatch was purely to find sin, and there was not much oil and water, before going back, Matteo Ricci appeared, a few boxes of gold and a few boxes of silver were sent, and the eunuch's eyes were spent.

"Well, not bad, hahaha, Mr. Qu looks up to our family too much, our family, that is, to do things for the Long Live Lord, what does the Long Live Lord say, we people, what do we have to do, one is not good, Long Live Lord is angry, we don't even have a small life, this time I came out to do something for the Long Live Lord, saying what is going to Luzon to find Jinshan Yinshan.

Hey, don't tell jokes, those people who spread the news all thought that they were Xiao Zhennan, Luzon was Japan, and they were all gold and silver, nonsense! We went up and went around in a circle, and our feet were blistered with blood, and we didn't even see a grain of golden sand, which is nonsense at all, a group of people who want money and want to go crazy are playing long live the lord! We want them to look good when we go back! ”

Qu Rukui understood, Matteo Ricci also understood, and the matter was done.

Matteo Ricci finally let go of his hanging heart, and Qu Rukui pursed his lips disdainfully.

These eunuchs stink, but they are good at all, they do things when they take the money, they treat this kind of thing as their main business, they care about their reputation very much, and they generally dare not collect money for things that cannot be done, for fear that they will break the signboard and smash their jobs, and run on other eunuchs, and the evening will be bleak in the future.

When he said this, it meant that the imperial court would never use troops against Luzon.

Then Ming Ting's side will be solved, and next, it's up to Xiao Ruxun's side.
