The endless arguments in the court not only gave Li Weiqi a headache, but even Liu Qi felt a headache.

No matter how Mo and Ruan fight for power, that is the business of the Da Yue Kingdom itself, what Nanyang Company needs is a puppet who can listen to his own words, and Li Weiqi is the puppet of this puppet.

Compared with Ruan, Mo is more obedient and more inclined to Ming. The Mo family was established by Jiajing to play a balanced strategy back then, so they were the most obedient and Liu Qi was the most assured. But Mo's strength is too weak, and he is not Ruan's opponent.

How do you play this strategic balance? Just when Liu Qi had a headache, a good-looking scribe appeared in front of him.

"Wang Yuyou came to apply for the senior management of Nanyang Company, I wonder if Lord Liu welcomes it?" The visitor introduced himself.

Liu Qi was taken aback, his mouth couldn't be closed in shock, and his jaw was about to dislocate: "Mr. Wang can come to help, our General Wang and our Pan family are like tigers!" ”

Wang Yuyou was the most powerful strategist in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, he heard about the achievements of the Nanyang Army, and learned that his students had successfully entered the Pingxi Palace, and vaguely felt that this Nanyang Company was the hope of Zhongxing Daming. So he rushed to Zhoushan. At that time, the Zhejiang army had already set off to rescue Guo Zhiqi, and after Wang Yuyou saw Zhang Huangyan, he waited for the next ship to transport supplies and went to Annan. By the time they arrived in Annam, the fighting was over.

When Liu Qi saw Wang Yuyou coming, he was so surprised that he couldn't say it for a long time, this is simply drowsy and meeting a pillow, luck is too good! You must know that Wang Yuyou read the scriptures at the age of sixteen, and he was able to fight with Wei Zhongxian at the age of eighteen. His father was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Wang Yuyou was both civil and military, and the Qing court invited him to come out as an official many times but was rejected. And he refused to come out to assist Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Huangyan, who were near him, because the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty was already in danger, but it was infighting, which made him very disappointed.

Now that he heard about the Nanyang Company, Wang Yuyou decisively came to defect.

I heard Liu Qi talk about headaches. Wang Yuyou smiled: "It's not simple? The harder the two of them fight, the better it will be for us! Originally, the Mo family was not the opponent of the Ruan family at all, but don't forget, there is also a Qinghua Zheng family! You can go to the king of the Lê clan and tell him that the Zheng family is immortal in Thanh Hoa and will always be a threat to the Lê family, and ask him to issue an edict to send the Nguyen family out to deal with the Thanh Hoa Zheng family. As for the Mo family, they stayed in Tokyo as a court official. In this way, the Mo family can control Li Weiqi. But he is not strong enough, and he is not strong enough to fight against the Ruan family; However, the Zheng family restrained the Ruan family, and the Mo family and the Ruan family had to form an alliance in order to deal with the most powerful Zheng family, although this alliance was an alliance of internal fighting, but it could also temporarily maintain the stability of Annam. ”

"With Mr.'s guidance, it's better than reading for ten years!" Liu Qi exclaimed, "But Mr. is too famous, and he wants to come to our company." You have to wait for General Wang or Chairman Pan to arrange it for you. You can be a third-in-command when you come here. ”

"It's okay!" Wang Yuyou shook his fan and said with a smile, "The old man will sit in Annan first, and let the old man take charge of the 30,000 Annan Ming Army for the time being!" I will be able to subdue the Annamite people! ”

"Thank you, Mr. Wang!" Liu Qi was overjoyed.

Later, the letter of appointment jointly signed by Pan Liu and Wang Xinyu arrived. Wang Yuyou was appointed as the deputy general manager of Nanyang Company, the military division of Nanyang Qiongzhou, and the chief of staff of the Qiongzhou Governor's Office, which was equivalent to the post of chief of staff in later generations.

Eight Mo thousands of miles away. Li Sixing, Wang Xinyu and Mu Zhongxian knelt in front of the incense case.

"I'm Li Sixing!"

"I'm Wang Yu!"

"I'm painted in vain!"

"I'm Mu Zhongxian!"

"The sky is on the earth as proof, and today I am Li Sixing, Wang Yu, Bai Hua, and Mu Zhongxian as brothers! In the future, we will be blessed and enjoy hardships together! I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day! If you have different intentions in the future. It will be destroyed on the same day! ”

The four became brothers, with Li Sixing as the eldest brother, Wang Yu as the second brother, and Mu Zhongxian as the younger brother. Among these four people, Li Sixing, Bai Hua and Mu Zhongxian are all princes, and Mu Zhongxian is now the de facto prince of the country, Wang Yu, who was born in the grass, originally had the lowest status, and it was not his turn to worship brothers with the three sons of them, but he won many battles and made many miraculous feats, which was very appreciated by Li Dingguo. So, the four became brothers.

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the bank of the Bamo Tin Foil River, a large ship with the flag of Nanyang Company docked on the dock, and a handsome boy dressed in white walked down on the boat.

"This boy is so handsome!" The workers on the dock who carried the last cargo were full of praise when they saw this son.

A mid-level employee of Nanyang Company, who was directing the workers to work on the dock, saw this son, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Little ......"

"Shh Pan Ying made a gesture.

"Little boy! When did you come? It's almost the New Year......"

"My son is here for the New Year, take me to find Wang Gongzi!"

"Obedience!"

The staff brought Pan Ying into the Jin Palace. Someone had already reported to Wang Xinyu, and Wang Xinyu walked out of the lobby. Li Sixing, Bai Hui and Mu Zhongxian also walked out.

Seeing Pan Ying, Wang Xinyu was stunned, and only after a while did he squeeze out a few words: "Ying'er, why did you come here?" Why don't you spend the New Year with your father at home? ”

"Prince Wang!" Pan Yingmiao's eyes were full of tears, and she fell into Wang Xinyu's arms at once, "Wang Gongzi, the concubine just wants to come to see Gongzi." The son is alone in a foreign country for the New Year, and the concubine can't rest assured. ”

"Second brother is lucky! Third brother, fourth brother, let's go! Hahaha! Li Sixing smiled and pulled Bai Yi and Mu Zhongxian aside.

Wang Xinyu and Pan Ying were left hugging each other in the compound, and after a while, Pan Ying raised her head and looked at Wang Xinyu: "Son, have you become brothers with the three of them?" ”

"Hmm!" Wang Xinyu nodded vigorously.

"They are all richly dressed sons, presumably that eldest brother is the prince of Jin, right?"

"Hmm!"

Pan Ying suddenly changed the topic: "Let's go, let's go and see the development base of Bamo!" ”

Of course, Wang Xinyu taught Pan Ying the word development base, and now she will use this word whenever she develops.

"Good! Now that you're here, let's walk around here! Wang Xinyu said.

"Wait for me in a moment, I'll go change my clothes!"

After a while, Pan Yingyingying, who had recovered her daughter's body, walked out and gave Wang Xinyu a blessing: "Prince Wang, please!" ”

The two walked out of the city side by side and came to the newly established development zone.

The development area is surrounded by wooden fences. There are military buildings such as sentry posts and towers. Although the Burmese army was no longer able to attack, and Wu Sangui also signed an agreement, Li Dingguo was still relieved and kept a hand, just in case, so he made the development zone heavily guarded and forbade any outsiders to approach.

The docks were empty, and the cargo of the last ship had been unloaded and moved into warehouses. It won't be until after the Chinese New Year that it will be busy again.

After more than a month of construction. The cigarette factory has been completed, and the factory has officially started producing cigarettes. Although it was Chinese New Year's Eve, the flue-cured tobacco room did not stop, and the workers put the tobacco leaves in it to smoke and roast them, and in a few days they could take them out and start production.

In the cigarette factory, a number of hand-cranked cigarette machines designed according to Wang Xinyu's drawings have been installed, but because it is the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the factory is empty.

"That's right! We can still open a few more factories here, isn't it that the king of Pingxi wants to buy goods from us? We can set up a jade and ivory carving factory here. Get some fine jadeite, process it and sell it to them, so that we can also make more money. Also, Wu Sangui wants to buy cement in large quantities. Let's start a cement plant here. Pan Ying pointed to a large open space around the tobacco factory and said.

Cement is a bulky item, and if it can be produced locally, it can reduce transportation costs a lot.

The Bamo "Development Zone" has begun to take shape, with the exception of two cigarette factories. The workers' houses have also been built, all of which are three-story buildings, designed according to the tube buildings of Wang Xinyu's later generations. There is a corridor on the outside and dormitories on the inside. There are several small two-story buildings with detached families on the side, and those are dormitories for senior employees.

"When this place develops, it will be a new city! You still have to build the wall, in case a thief comes to you. Pan Ying said with a smile.

Wang Xinyu seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Pan Ying: "Ying'er, take you to meet someone, come with me!" ”

The two returned to the city and walked to a small courtyard, where Wang Xinyu knocked lightly.

"Who?" Wang Shirong's voice came from inside.

"It's me, Wang Yu!"

"It's Lord Wang here!" Wang Shirong walked out and opened the door.

"It's the New Year, let's take a look at Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang spent the New Year here alone, too lonely. Wang Xinyu said.

"It's okay! There are also several brothers who celebrate the New Year together, all of whom are personal soldiers of the Pingxi Palace. Wang Shirong said with a smile. In a blink of an eye, he saw Pan Ying standing on the side, and asked again, "This is Madame, right?" ”

"It's the young lady of the company's chairman's family, and it's also a righteous sister." Wang Xinyu replied. He didn't notice that Pan Ying on the side glared at him viciously.

Walking into Wang Shirong's courtyard, there were four Wu Sangui's personal soldiers playing mahjong inside, and there were three personal soldiers on the side, who were fighting the landlord with the playing cards that Wang Xinyu taught them. Playing cards are also designed by Wang Xinyu, these soldiers are very interested in this novel card, this kind of cards can not only fight the landlord, upgrade, but also their own fortune telling.

"King fried! It's over! Give money! One of the soldiers stood up.

Seeing Wang Xinyu, several pro-soldiers stood up and turned around to salute: "Lord Wang! ”

Wu Sangui's personal soldiers in the office have already cut off their braids, taken off their horse coats, and changed back to Han clothes. Everyone looks quite energetic because they have just cut off their braids and have just grown a little bit of slab hair on their heads.

"This looks much better than the original money rat tail spirit!" Wang Xinyu said with a smile.

"My lord, we can't help it when we are over there, if we don't leave a money rat tail, we will lose our heads." A pro-soldier said.

Another soldier said: "My lord, I heard that the first few batches of goods sent over our prince are very satisfied, and I want to ask if there are any more goods." ”

"Take your time! As long as we have more good things here, we will definitely send them to you! Wang Xinyu said.

Thousands of miles away in Kunming City, the outside of Pingxi Wangfu is full of sadness and melancholy, because Pingxi generals Ai Xing'a and Zhuo Luo Beizi were killed, and the Manmeng Eight Banners are destined not to have a good year. In the palace, there was a lot of joy and laughter.

Wu Sangui sat in his study, playing with a small glass mirror in his hand, and Liu Xuanchu, Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui, Guo Zhuangtu and others stood aside.

"Good stuff! What a good thing! Such a bright glass mirror, if it can be sold to Jiangnan, how much silver will it get? Hahaha! Wu Sangui smiled from ear to ear.

"Father, be careful, I dislocated my jaw just a few days ago." Wu Yingqi reminded.

Just a few days ago, when the goods transported from Bamo were delivered, Wu Sangui saw those rare treasures, and his jaw was dislocated with laughter on the spot, and Lang Zhong in the house picked it up.

The things that were shipped were so good, there were fine ivory carvings, jade carvings, huge jade cabbage, and a whole set of transparent glass cups. But Wu Sangui's favorite is this glass mirror. This mirror is so bright, I don't know how much better the effect is compared to the bronze mirror.

"If this kind of glass mirror is sold to Jiangnan, the lady in Jiangnan will definitely like it!" Wu Guogui said. There were many mirrors sent, and Wu Sangui rewarded Wu Guogui with a side. Wu Guogui's daughter couldn't put it down after getting the glass mirror, and even held the mirror when she ate and slept, looking at the beautiful girl in the mirror stupidly.

"Hmmm! If the granddaughter likes it, the lady in Jiangnan must like it! Wu Sangui nodded with satisfaction.

Wu Guogui's daughter was the first beauty in Kunming that year, and as soon as she saw the glass mirror, she became obsessed.

Liu Xuanchu said: "Lord, this glass mirror, first of all, it must be dedicated to the Empress Dowager, right?" Only when she is happy, our life can be better! ”

Wu Sangui laughed: "Not bad! Pick out the best and send it to the capital! By the way, even the Eight Banners special offerings were sent over together, telling them that this Eight Banners special offerings can prolong life and strengthen the body, which is a must-have product for Eight Banners! ”

Wang Xinyu gave Wu Sangui the first batch of "Eight Banners Special Offerings", Wu Sangui finally did not resist the temptation, and secretly smoked it once, and found that this thing was really good, and after smoking, the whole person felt like entering a fairyland. Although Liu Xuanchu had already reminded him that this kind of thing was not addictive, Wu Sangui replied: "With this immortal thing, I am willing to lose my life!" ”

Later, one of the second batch of "Eight Banners Special Offerings" sent by Wang Xinyu was the "Pingxi King Special Offerings", which reduced a little poison, increased spices, became better in taste, and did not cause so much damage to the body, which made Wu Sangui completely obsessed with this kind of thing.

Wang Xinyu didn't want Wu Sangui to hang up too early, because now that history has changed, Wu Sangui is likely to rebel in advance. Although the "Pingxi King Special Offering" reduces the poison, it is still addictive, and there is no "Special Offering" to smoke after addiction, and you will be exhausted. Wang Xinyu will not cut off the supply of absolute Wu Sangui for the time being, but Wang Xinyu has left a "back door": there are things in the special offerings that the best doctors can't find, as long as Wang Xinyu cuts off the "special offerings", Wu Sangui will die soon!
