"150,000 Guan...... These maritime merchants are so rich! Zhao Yu Zhao Tisi is better at mathematics and more sensitive to money, so he came to a conclusion in an instant, and then sighed.

"Here is this again, last time I organized volunteers to go to the front line, and as a result, Zheng Qingzhi made a big bargain, and this time I donated money to the court to buy muskets! No, my lord, we must not promise them, if we let this happen, we will not miss another good opportunity! It was Zhao Yong who spoke, but this time he was right, he was also the main advocate around Wen Hao when he organized the Volunteer Army, and he knew exactly what the effect of this kind of thing would be.

The defeat of the new army of the imperial court and the setback of the Northern Expedition are the perfect time to strike at the main battle faction, no matter what the reason is, you are defeated anyway, and you have to be responsible! What they have been waiting for in the past two years is such an opportunity, whoever does more things will make more mistakes, and those who don't do things are all on the side, as long as something happens, they will immediately jump out and blame it. This is a common method in political struggle, and if the balance is well grasped, and more alliances can be drawn, even if the main battle faction is planted this time, it will have to shed its skin if it does not die.

As for what to do with the Northern Expedition, what to do with love, who can take care of it? First suppress political opponents, put themselves in power, and firmly control power in their own hands, and then the country will naturally go to victory under their own leadership, people like them only have this kind of logic.

"That's what I said, but how can I refuse? Zigui won't forget about newspapers, right? I'm afraid that the newspapers where the maritime merchants want to donate money to the court to buy muskets have already begun to be printed, maybe they are all printed, maybe we will be able to see them in the afternoon! "Xu Yan is very annoying Zhao Yong, this guy is simply Wen Hao's dog, let him bite whoever he bites, he has no wind and bones at all, and he doesn't learn anything, and he doesn't have a city government.

"I think it makes sense to change it, since the maritime merchants dare to come to inform, they are absolutely sure to let the court know. I don't think we can suppress this matter, so it's better to report it to the court to know, as for how the court will reply, it's none of our business. Just now Zigui said that there is a shadow of Jin Heguo behind the newspaper, but I don't know why they did it, but now I think I understand a little. ”

"First use newspapers to create momentum, make this matter known to everyone, and when no one can suppress it, and then the maritime merchants come forward to donate money to the imperial court to support the continuation of the Northern Expedition, this is the second step, Gao Ming! I guess there's a third step ahead, and I can probably guess what it is. In a few days, the newspaper will publish the real reason for the defeat of the new army, and then Chen Xiang (Chen Zhuo, participating in political affairs) will become the target of public criticism, and then it will have to be pulled to Shi Songzhi, the four Ming people (Shi Miyuan's hometown, when he was in power, there was a saying that the whole dynasty was the four Ming people) This is completely over! The next person to speak was Zhao Yao, who spoke more carefully than Xu Yan, and even analyzed the causes and consequences.

"If it is really as Wen Zhong said, Dexin's decision was right at the beginning, if we were also involved in this matter, the consequences would ...... I wondered, how could the Emperor of Jinhe Kingdom know about such a confidential matter? Even Zheng Xiang can only guess, there can't be any credentials, right? Wu Xiuyan, who had been smoking without squeaking, finally opened his mouth, and he partially agreed with Zhao Yao's analysis, but there were still some questions that had not been solved.

"It's hard to say, the people of Jinhe Country know a lot of things, for example, the new warship of our naval division, all its data Jinhe Country has long been clear, one of their army officers can speak the truth, and I don't know much more than him. Even if Zheng Xiang didn't say it, those staff officers sent by Jin Heguo could see who deliberately let the new army rush forward to send them to death, otherwise they would not all disobey the order and return to Xuzhou. I listened to the commander of the sailor's grain ship that came back from Xiangyang, and those Jinhe Guo's staff officers already knew what the result of this batch of new troops would be, and they also sent two people to follow the sailor's ship back to Mingzhou, and when they arrived at the dock, one of them got on their own fast boat and went to sea, it is estimated that Emperor Hong knows better than us. The answer to Wu Xiuyan was his brother Wu Xiuxian, speaking of this, his tone was extremely dissatisfied, who would want to fight with such an army? Who would dare to let them stand behind themselves?

"Practice, a major event in the court, don't say more! The matter of maritime donations, just change it and report it, you are the general judgment of Guangzhou, and this matter should be handled by you. Although we lost the lead again in this game, we didn't lose all the games. In the case of newspapers, we will wait and see what happens, and not bear this infamy. I will go back to Lin'an, tell the situation here as it is, and then put it in the court to see who dares to propose to kill so many heads!" ”

After listening to the analysis of several staff, Wen Hao's thoughts were also clear. In the matter of the newspaper, he could not express his position first, otherwise he would lose the basic trust of the maritime merchants, and without their help, he would not be able to do this position for long in Nanyang Xuanfu. Although this may make the officials question their own abilities, the root cause is not themselves, and whoever provokes this matter will go to whom. Without the secret support of the official family, Chen Zhuo, the prison army, was not so bold to interfere with Meng Hui's strategy of using troops.

Regardless of whether Chen Zhuo was unlucky or Meng Hui suffered in the end, it would not have the slightest impact on his own forces anyway. Maybe after this incident, the official family will rely on themselves more. Because now there are not many forces in the DPRK that can compete with Zheng Qing's faction, and his Nanyang Xuanfu envoy is even more precious.

"Very good, Dexin, if there is nothing to do, I will return to Quanzhou tomorrow, and there have been many big food merchants recently, who are said to have followed the merchant ships of the Strait Company to invest and set up factories here. I wondered, these people finally occupied the route to the Great Eclipse, why did they invite the Great Cannibal back? Do you have to rely on the money of the big cannibals to run a few factories and workshops? They are more than 100,000 yuan when they shoot casually! "Zhao Yao's official business is the busiest, it seems that he likes to do this job, and when he heard that there was nothing to do, he immediately wanted to go back.

"Wait, the chairman of the strait company also gave me an invitation, I'm afraid you are all interested in going to see this scene with me!" Wen Hao stretched out his hand to stop Zhao Yao, who got up to go out, and then took out a golden card from his sleeve and handed it over.

"Good guy, you deserve to be the chairman of the Strait Company, and you can do it dozens of times as soon as you make a move!" Zhao Yao is also a person who often rolls among merchants, and at a glance he can see that this is an invitation made of pure gold leaf, and he puts it in his hand and opens it after determining its value.

"Ahh Principal Hong wants to open the altar to teach! Before Zhao Yao could see clearly what was written in vermilion lacquer on the invitation, the martial arts cultivator who came over exclaimed, and even changed his name to Hong Tao, from the emperor to the principal.

"Ridiculous, what kind of headmaster is he! People who can't even tell a sentence of the "Nine Classics", "Five Classics", and "Three History" are famous and famous! Zhao Yong also came over at this time, and saw clearly what was written on the invitation. After listening to Wu Xiujian's address to Emperor Hong, his face turned purple.

He had never attended a nautical school, and he hated the fact that students from anywhere could be hired by maritime merchants to serve as their ancestors. According to his logic, only people like him who are familiar with the history of the Bible are entitled to such treatment. The reason why he didn't receive this kind of courtesy was entirely because that Emperor Hong bewitched the Song people, so he hated it very much in his heart!

"No, no...... Although he is a foreign emperor, I have listened to his classes after all, and I have indeed learned a lot from him. As for saying that he didn't understand scripture and history, it is true that he himself once said that he did not learn these things when he was young. However, it cannot be denied that his attainments in arithmetic and painting are very high, and he also created the disciplines of geography, nature, and physics, and shipbuilding and navigation are unparalleled. These scholars should also be called masters, and Jin Heguo is called scientists. The reason why the Great Song Dynasty was inferior to Jinhe was because we didn't pay attention to this knowledge, which was called the knowledge of natural science by Jinheguo! Does Zigui think that he can rely on the Book of Changes, the Book of Songs, the Book of Songs, and the Zhou Li to defeat the cannon of the Jinhe Kingdom! ”

Wu Xiu is a person who doesn't talk much, which is very similar to Qi Zu, Wen Xiaoqi, and Bush. You give them a drawing, and they can read it for days without eating or sleeping, but if you want to make small talk with people like them, it's hard to get to the sky, and after three sentences, they don't have anything to say. But this time the martial arts practice broke out, for a person who is engaged in technology, the most unsightly is those who don't take technology seriously, open their eyes and talk nonsense, Zhao Yong's remarks are not insulting Hong Tao, but insulting all people who respect science, including himself, must be anxious.

"However, what Xiu said is right, even if the Great Song Dynasty starts a war with Jinhe State now, Xiu and I will recognize Emperor Hong as our teacher and principal, and the reason why my brother can achieve the official position of the imperial court is responsible for supervising the construction of the new ship of the sailor, and not dishonoring the family, all depends on him. If my brothers hadn't gone to the navigation school for a few years, would the imperial court have summoned our brothers to supervise the construction of a new ship for sailors? Zigui has read the scriptures and history, and my brother is a disciple of the generation of fame and fame, but he does not dare to forget the teacher's kindness! Farewell, my brother will go first, since he is going to listen to the teacher's class, how dare he go empty-handed, he still has to prepare! Seeing that his younger brother and Zhao Yong turned their faces, Wu Xiuyan, who is an elder brother, was not ambiguous, he said it with a gun and a stick, and then hugged his fist at several other people, and floated away with his younger brother, not even giving Wen Hao's face.
