Chapter 87 Zheng Zhibao Faces the Saint

"It's a walkie-talkie, the kind that can be used at the city gate to instantly notify the palace whether there is any urgent military information or whether someone summoned by His Majesty has arrived in the capital."

“Walkie-talkie??”

Zheng Zhibao felt that he had heard something new again, so he quickly asked curiously, and after fully understanding the use of this thing, he reacted.

"Isn't it just a radio station?"

This calm performance made Jin Yiwei wonder if he had ever come into contact with a walkie-talkie.

The group of people continued on their way to the Ming Dynasty Royal Store. Zheng Zhilong looked at the already crowded Huichang Street and couldn't help but frown.

"Brother Wang, why are there so many people here?"

"General Zheng doesn't know that since this business opened, it has attracted people from all over the capital to visit.

After all, its outer wall is made of completely transparent crystal, and there are also large iron pillars on the inside. The counters are separated by crystal, which is extremely luxurious."

Jin Yiwei described it, and at the same time made a gesture to the distance, and a Jin Yiwei Baihu came over.

"Wang Jie, aren't you picking up someone from the outer city? Who is this?"

"This is General Zheng, the younger brother of Commander-in-Chief Zheng Zhilong of the Fourth Army of the Ming Dynasty."

"It turns out that General Zheng, Liu Datou of this Hundred Households, is in charge of this area. General Zheng wants to visit the business?"

"Yes, when I first came to the capital, I heard about the reputation of the Ming Dynasty Royal Company in the capital, and I specially planned to come and have a look."

"Then you've come to the right place. I've been there every day. To describe the things inside, there's only one word! General Zheng, follow me."

Liu Datou waved a small stick in his hand, drove away the people who were blocking the way, and squeezed a way out, allowing Zheng Zhibao to follow him smoothly into the business, but his servant was left behind.

"Brother Liu, I see that both roads here are blocked, why is there a gap that no one passes through?"

"Hey, you're talking about the women's products section. They sell women's products there. Old men will be spit on if you go in."

Liu Datou didn't even need to look at it to know that Zheng Zhibao was referring to the separated passage for women. In the Ming Dynasty, no one dared to enter the business through that passage.

This is not the future. In the future, if a man buys a sanitary napkin for his girlfriend, he may be called a pervert. If he enters this era, he will be in disgrace for thousands of years.

After following Liu Datou into the store, Zheng Zhilong was received by the same staff member who received Wang Daozhi that day and gave an explanation.

Zheng Zhilong, who has been engaged in maritime trade with his brother all year round, immediately grasped the value of the goods here, as if he saw ships of gold coins.

As long as Chongzhen sells these goods to him at military coupon prices, he can let the Zheng family completely dominate the entire ocean world.

In the shop, he also saw the things that Chongzhen had given to Zheng Zhilong. He compared the prices and functions of them all, and in the end he was full of surprises.

Zheng Zhibao, who was dreaming about making a fortune, was suddenly interrupted by two people.

"European cake seller, how come the people of Ming Dynasty have so many novelties?"

"Damn it, how many good things does that shop owner have that he doesn't show us? Also, one of his bicycles actually sells for a thousand taels in Daming???

This is more than a hundred ounces of gold, and this vampire, Banduma, still claims that I suck blood, look at it."

"There is a cake seller in Europe, but he only needs more than ten ounces with military coupons. We must find a way to get these military coupons, and we will visit the shopkeeper later."

"Yes, when the time comes, we will monopolize the export of these goods, transfer them from Japan to Luzon, and then transfer them to the board of directors, so that the Zheng family will eat their shit."

Since Banduma and Abel shipped Chen Ye's urgently arranged goods out of Tianjin, they have had nothing to do. They organize people to preach every day, collect some prices of goods in the Ming Dynasty, and other information.

As a result, in the past two days, I suddenly heard that a Ming Dynasty Royal Store had opened in the city. After investigating carefully, I found out that it was the place where the store had been closed before, and I came over immediately out of curiosity.

As soon as they came here, they were blinded. This store was full of surprises from inside to outside. For them, it was the fragrance of money.

Zheng Zhibao could understand Dutch, and his eyes instantly turned cold. This was something belonging to the Ming Dynasty. He, the Zheng family, should have absolute dominance. How did these two foreign devils actually want to get involved? I asked him what he thought about the Zheng family's pirate group.

?

"Two gentlemen, when you are talking about this monopoly business, have you ever thought about the opinions of my Zheng family?"

"European cake seller."

"Buddha who sold me a piece of cake, who are you?"

When Banduma and Abel heard the Dutch voice coming from behind them, they turned around in fright?

"My general is the Fourth Army of the Ming Dynasty. I am a member of the Navy Zheng Zhibao Qianhu. Zheng Zhilong is my brother."

Zheng Zhibao read out Zheng Zhilong's name, making Banduma and Abel instantly turn pale.

"It seems that the Zheng family has too little control over the Ming Dynasty's maritime territory. That's why you think you can go to Japan and be at ease. In the future, the Dutch shipping tax will be doubled."

"General Zheng, the great Emperor Chongzhen has the final say in this capital. He has personally agreed to exempt us from taxes on these goods. Do you want to resist?

You are talking about making money together, how about I introduce you to the shop owner? Let’s just talk nonsense today.”

After being nervous just now, Banduma and Abel slowly relaxed and quickly made amends, threatening and saying nice things.

If you want to hang out in the Ming Dynasty, you can't go against the Zheng family.

"Well, I also understand that when it comes to business, you just want to eat more. Now that you have figured it out, I just pretended that I didn't hear anything."

Zheng Zhibao also borrowed the donkey from the slope, and then the three of them laughed and chatted together.

Both Banduma and Abel came from the south, so they had naturally met Zheng Zhilong. After some compliments, Zheng Zhibao was even more honored and even happier.

When they came out of the shop, the two were about to invite Zheng Zhibao to Chen Ye's house, when Wang Jie rushed over.

"General Zheng, your Majesty has summoned you."

"Oh, those two gentlemen can only make an appointment tomorrow. It's important for me to have a face-to-face meeting."

"Go ahead, go ahead, meet the great Emperor Chongzhen, so of course you can't neglect it."

Zheng Zhibao couldn't help but feel a greasy feeling when he heard the two people addressing the emperor. After the two people squeezed through the crowd and left, he asked Wang Jie on the side.

"Brother Wang, why do they, foreigners, call Your Majesty that way?"

"I don't know, but hearing them call Your Majesty that way really makes me feel proud!"

Are these Dutch people out of their minds?

Full of questions, Zheng Zhibao followed Wang Jie to the palace.

At the entrance of the palace, after Wang Jie and Zheng Zhibao put down their personal weapons, a young eunuch held a small sign and swept it over their bodies.

Beep! Beep beep!

"General Zheng, please take out the things from your waist for inspection and enter the palace. You are not allowed to bring any weapons."

"This is my badge."

Zheng Zhibao looked at the small sign that made the sound just now with a surprised look on his face. How come everything in this palace is so novel?

Wuying Palace.

Chongzhen and Chen Ye, who had just been called, were chatting about Zheng Zhilong.

After reporting Zheng Zhibao's arrival from the outer city, Chongzhen had already informed Chen Ye and then arranged for someone to invite Chen Ye into the palace.

"Shopkeeper, Zheng Zhibao has already been to the Royal Store. With the Zheng family's knowledge, it is not difficult to see the value of those things."

"The Zheng family has many ships and can transport food by sea. In this way, the food crisis in the capital and even the entire disaster area will be reduced, and the plan will be completed."

The south has things that the north lacks. In fact, the north does not have many things that are indispensable to the south, so the luxury goods are all from south to north.

This also means that if you want to make the Zheng family obey, you can only exchange things that are of interest to the Zheng family.

"Yes, a shipload of grain transported by sea is more expensive than water transport. Water transport... well, let's not mention it."

Chongzhen felt a little angry when he thought about the increase in grain rates for water transportation this year, as well as the grain shipments from the south that had been urged and urged again and again.

The north defended the south against the invasion of foreigners, and the south was able to enjoy peace and prosperity. Is this how they treated the north?

“There are too many people handling water transport, and with more people, losses will naturally increase. If losses are large, you want to add more people to transport more. This is an unreasonable plan.

It is better to pacify the country as soon as possible and promote high-yielding grains as soon as possible. I don’t know if the person who sent the message to Song Yingxing has arrived."

"It should be here, right? The messenger team has been setting off for a few days.

Speaking of Song Yingxing, shop owner, is this Song Yingxing really that talented?"

Chongzhen still didn't know much about the talents Chen Ye asked to recruit. In his impression, Song Yingxing seemed to have never passed the imperial examination many times.

"That was a man who could be called a Ming Dynasty scientist. If Mr. Song had been born in Europe, he would have achieved greater success than he did in the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, although Mr. Song lived through more than ten years after the Ming Dynasty, he never shaved his head and changed clothes. Instead, he entered a Taoist temple. In his later years, he even wanted to die to clarify his ambition and brighten his heart, which should not be slandered."

"Such a great talent, I want to put it to good use and reuse it!"

After hearing this, Chongzhen praised him very much. He liked people who were loyal to his Zhu family. As for that person not being buried with him, it didn't matter.

The ant is still trying to survive. As long as they don't surrender, he will use those who were later recruited by the Qing Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Zhibao is outside the palace."

"pass."

Chongzhen sat upright again and collected the garbage on the table. Chen Ye also took out the toilet paper and wiped away the oil from the chicken feet he had just eaten.

When Zheng Zhibao entered the palace, he saw Chongzhen in a yellow robe with red dragon patterns. Behind Chongzhen, there was a young man leaning on a chair.

After looking around for a moment while walking around, Zheng Zhilong walked to the case, knelt down and raised his hands.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Zhibao, has met you. Long live your Majesty.

My eldest brother Zheng Zhilong came to the capital to express his gratitude. My eldest brother was guarding the Ming Dynasty for Your Majesty and could not escape, so I sent my younger brother here to ask Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

"Well, I'm sorry, please get up quickly. Gao Banban, please give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Zheng Zhibao sat across from Chen Ye, Gao Yushun brought another table. Behind him were several palace maids, who brought a can of Coke and some pastries.

"Zheng Aiqing, how has your elder brother been doing in recent years? I heard that he has a son who is very smart, so I sent a decree to send him a favor and summoned him to study in Beijing, so that he can become an official in the court as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your concern, your majesty. My eldest brother is fine. My eldest brother's son Zheng Sen is grateful for your majesty's love. I will ask Sen'er to come after I have made arrangements in the capital."

Chongzhen and Zheng Zhibao chatted for a long time, asking and answering questions, and finally came to the common goal of Zheng Zhibao and Chongzhen, which was shipping.
