Wei Liangdong saw Chang Wei and said happily: "Fearless, are you back?" I heard He Chong say that you exterminated a group of pirates this time, and I will hold a banquet in Qingyun Tower at night to celebrate your achievements. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Haha, the celebration banquet is naturally wanted, but this time, I found a way to make money for Master Hou. Chang Wei smiled.

Wei Liangdong's eyes lit up, "Oh, what kind of wealth, let's hear about it." ”

Chang Wei had already figured out Wei Liangdong's temperament, "Master Hou, do you know Liuheng Island......

Chang Wei talked about the Portuguese from the origin of Shuangyu Port and Liuheng Island, and then connected with the sea navigation, Asia, Europe, America, the earth is round, and so on.

"Dreadnought, the earth is round, is that true?"

"That's right, the Italian Matteo Ricci in the Wanli period wrote a complete map of all countries, and he has expounded the theory of the circle of the earth, and the imperial court has accepted it at that time, and Li Zhizao once made a globe with his own hands and dedicated it to the Wanli Emperor. ”

"Is the American continent really full of gold?"

"Of course, the reason why the Spaniards were able to form an Armada was because they were backed by gold and silver from the Americas. ”

"Are Native Americans really that stupid? You can get a whole lot of land with glass beads?"

"Yes, those foreign barbarians, they have not seen anything. When the gun rang out, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, thinking that it was a punishment from the gods. ”

After listening to Chang Wei's words, Wei Liangdong's eyes showed a greedy light, and he said excitedly: "Then what are you waiting for? I will pay you for it, let's build a ship and go to sea, and go to the Americas to get some rubber, cocoa, and tobacco you said." ”

"That's natural, you can't just let the Spaniards make all the money. ”

Chang Wei said with a smile: "And the fleet really drove over, making money is still a small matter." Zheng He went to the West seven times, brought a few lions and giraffes back, and was treated as a unicorn by the emperor and the imperial court, you said that if we get something rare to come back, how happy will the emperor be?"

"Hahaha, Dreadnought is still as thoughtful as you think. Wei Liangdong's hands danced, "Immediately, immediately build an ocean-going fleet, let's also go to the Western Ocean, you don't have to worry about the silver, all by me." ”

"We only need a dozen or so ships and a few hundred people, and we don't need tens of thousands of people and hundreds of ships like Zheng He, I already have a comprehensive plan. ”

Chang Wei unhurriedly took out a pack of finely chopped tobacco leaves from his arms, rolled two of them with rough hemp paper, lit one by himself and smoked comfortably, and handed the other to Wei Liangdong, before he explained his plan and plate.

"Ahem!"

Wei Liangdong took a sharp breath and coughed like Chang Wei, and said, "Is this thing tobacco? ”

Tobacco is a new thing that has been introduced from Luzon in recent years, and it is popular in a small area in Fujian.

Chang Wei smiled and corrected his cigarette smoking method, revealing his true purpose, "The trouble now is the thirteen chain villages entrenched in Hongze Lake, these thieves will often go to sea to plunder, which will affect the sea route, and even make the merchant ships along the coast of Nanzhili dare not go to sea." ”

Wei Liangdong slapped the table and shouted: "What thirteen consecutive villages, dare to block my financial path? I will ask Lao Liu and Grandpa Xu to ask for soldiers for you and destroy this group of thieves!"

"No, this is ultra vires, Hongze Lake is under the jurisdiction of Huai'an Prefecture. ”

"That's simpler, isn't Huai'an Mansion under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Caoyun? I'll let Teng Leshan do it. ”

Wei Liangdong was afraid that Chang Wei would not understand, so he explained: "Fuji Leshan is my uncle's person, when I went down to Jiangnan, he stammered all the way, this little thing must be fine." ”

Chang Wei immediately said: "Then take a two-pronged approach, I will take the volunteer battalion to watch, the people below the province do not contribute to the work, but kill the good and cheat the reward." ”

At the moment, Chang Wei asked Wei Liangdong to write a letter to Teng Leshan under the pretext of the murderer who bombarded Nanjing City last time, but the letter was not sent, Chang Wei took it with him, so as not to startle the snake. He also asked Liu Tingyuan, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, for a secret military order, and now everything is ready.

At the beginning of the lanterns, Nanjing's famous Qingyun Tower was crowded with cars and horses, but there was no idle guest, because Wei Liangdong had already chartered the Qingyun Tower, and countless rich and famous people came to Changwei's celebration banquet.

The Yunyi Pavilion in the depths of Qingyun Tower has also removed the usual Eight Immortals Table and Official Hat Chair and replaced it with the popular brocade feet, soft couches and table tables among dignitaries, which is the place to entertain the most important guests tonight.

When Chang Wei finished beckoning the guests outside to come in, the Yunyi Pavilion was already full of people.

Xu Wenjue and Xu Shuyi, brothers and sisters, enthusiastically introduced the people on the scene for Chang Wei: Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, Liu Zuochang, the prince of Anyuan, Zhang Gongri, the prince of Longping, Tang Guozuo, the son of Lingbi, Guo Zuoyong, the son of Cheng'an, Zhu Zihong, the son of Wujin, Liu Sien, the son of Guangning, and others.

Chang Wei was keenly aware of the wrong attitude of these people, and quietly asked Xu Shuyi, "Why do these noble sons reject me? Do they think I am a eunuch?"

Xu Shuyi said softly: "You misunderstood, they are actually jealous of you." ”

Chang Wei was surprised: "Jealous of me? They have a much higher status than me, what is there to be jealous of?"

"The Ming Dynasty used civil power to control the military, and the military generals and nobles did not have the right to lead the troops, and the wars were all civil officials who fought against the eunuchs and supervised the army. ”

Xu Shuyi explained to him in detail, "In just a few months, you have led troops to destroy the Holy Mother Sect, went to sea to exterminate pirates, and you can also form your own volunteers, and you may also go north to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, these opportunities are beyond their reach, so it's strange if you are not jealous." ”

Chang Wei said with some amusement: "When I set out on the expedition, there were neither civilian officials nor eunuchs to supervise the army, so I should feel lucky?"

Xu Shuyi smiled slightly and said: "You are a list of Xie Yuan, and your two brothers are civil officials, so you are naturally considered a civil official." As for the prison army, you are the person chosen by Wei Liangdong, who dares to be the prison army for you?"

Chang Wei shook his head and began to look at the noble children present, "The Ming Dynasty is divided into two groups, Nanjing is a title given by Zhu Yuanzhang, and only Liu Sien is the son of the noble noble. Most of Zhu Di's titles are in Beijing. ”

Just when Chang Wei was in a trance, Wei Liangdong spoke, "You are all noble children, and after I am a martyr of the Ming Dynasty, I naturally know how difficult and difficult it is to fight. Fearlessly, he successively destroyed the Cult of Our Lady and defeated the pirates. Come, everyone raise a glass to the fearlessness!"

"Respect Lord Chang!"

"I'm panicking, Xie Andong, thank you!"

After drinking the first cup, led by Xu Wenjue and Xu Shuyi, all the noble children toasted one by one, Chang Wei hurriedly replied, drank two rounds of wine, and the atmosphere became warm.

Suddenly, the strings trembled, the piano ensemble, the shadows were sparse, the dark fragrance floated, and a group of beautiful women were divided into two columns, like white butterflies flying in the moonlight, and appeared lightly in front of everyone.

A woman with flowers and branches told softly: "Master Hou, my lords, these eight girls are Ma Xianglan, Liu Ruyi, Chen Yuanyuan, Bian Yujing, Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan, and Kou Baimen. ”

"It's still Anton Hou who has a big face, and he actually got together Qin Huai Bayan. ”

This situation and this scene made the princes and princes who had read all the beauties also feel pleasantly surprised.

"When did Qin Huai Bayan change people?" Chang Wei turned his head to look, and it was Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo, who had the same status as Xu Wenjue, who spoke.

Xu Wenjue said: "Tianbo, don't you know? Fearless has all been listed on the seven posters, and Gu Hengbo was ransomed, so he replaced this Kou Baimen girl." ”

"Kou Baimen?"

Chang Wei turned his head to look at it, and in this sea of flowers, he found a budding rose.

Wrapped in a crimson gown, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, long black hair like snow, the light sliding over the shoulders, and the faint red on the cheeks create a delicate and lovely pure skin like flower petals.

The full and solid upper circumference, against the backdrop of the gorgeous costume, seems to be torn out. Further down, Chang Wei's bright eyes finally stopped, he looked greedily at the girl's slender legs, and the jade legs wrapped under the light silk skirt were tight and powerful, gently swaying, swaying, and a little spring light seemed to cover up.

Chang Wei's brain banged, reason had already been swallowed up by the impulse in his heart, Chang Wei thought that he was by no means a lustful hungry wolf, but at this moment he fell, and there was only one word left in his mind: love at first sight. (To be continued.) )
