Looking at the history he is changing, Zhang Mingwei was actually satisfied.

Look, even the Ming Dynasty Spring Festival Gala was created, and it was the second session, and it was still very fulfilling.

He must be the one who will definitely attend. Seeing that the time is almost over, he went out again and was preparing to go to the newly built theater to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

However, as soon as Zhang Mingwei went out, he saw a large group of people rushing over, both men, women, and young.

When the guard's Jinyiwei Captain immediately stepped forward and scolded him, he also became alert.

However, all the men, women, young and old knelt down, and the middle-aged man in charge shouted loudly to Zhang Mingwei: "My benefactor, happy New Year!"

The men, women, young and old behind him all shouted together: "My benefactor, happy New Year!"

When they saw this situation, Liu Jin and others wondered. What is this situation?

Looking at the person in charge, I seemed to have seen him somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

Zhang Mingwei also saw the man in the leader clearly. He had a strong memory, but he remembered it immediately. He immediately drove his horse forward and said with a smile: "What are you doing during the New Year? Get up and talk!"

After he finished speaking, the group of people who were kneeling respectfully kowtowed three times before standing up.

Zhang Mingwei did not dismount and help him because he saw the determination of the group of people, and they were also quick to move, even if he helped him, it would be too late.

Therefore, after they stood up, he asked kindly, "Why, the debt has been paid off?"

When the leader heard this, he immediately knew that the Duke of the State actually remembered himself. He was even more moved and quickly replied respectfully: "It is all for the Duke of the State. With the note approved by the Duke of the State, Caomin went overseas and not only paid off his debts, but also made a lot of money. Otherwise... Otherwise, it would be unknown whether Caomin could still celebrate the New Year!"

It turned out that the whole family in front of me were the cloth merchant Zhang Mingwei met during the Chinese New Year last year, and the one named Liu Mindong was the one named.

Zhang Mingwei advised him to sell cloth overseas and gave him a note, so that no one in the Ming Dynasty would dare to collect additional taxes. There was also the one who borrowed him money, exempted him from interest, borrowed him this convenience, went out to sea together, and ended up making a lot of money.

At this time, Zhang Mingwei was of course happy when he heard what he said. He saved the whole family by doing good things, and had a good result. He was also happy in his heart!

So he asked Liu Mindong: "How is it going overseas?"

"When you return to the country, you will naturally know everything when you hear it, and quickly replied respectfully, "The silk, tea, porcelain, etc. of our Ming Dynasty are cheaper than before. They have been shipped overseas, but the price has not completely dropped, and they have made more money than before. Many people go overseas to do business together. As long as the Dragon Prince does not show their power, they will make a lot of money!"

On the Ming Dynasty, because Zhang Mingwei invented Jenny spinning machines, shuttles, and even steam engines in advance, the output of Ming Dynasty's products increased greatly. Naturally, the domestic prices naturally fell sharply.

Although the people of Ming Dynasty benefited from this, they would be much cheaper to buy these things. However, the price dropped sharply, and producers and sellers would suffer losses. Fortunately, these goods can be sold overseas, so they actually made more money than in previous years.

It can be said that, on the whole, few people thought that the improvement of productivity had become worse than before, because there was an overseas market that could solve the problem of more produced products.

When Zhang Mingwei heard Liu Mindong's description, he was also happy. It was great that he would make money from overseas people and give a virtuous cycle in the Ming Dynasty. This is the best!

So he encouraged Liu Mindong and then went to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

Liu Mindong came over, but not only came to kowtow, but also brought a lot of gifts, many of which were collected from overseas. Obviously, when he was overseas, he was actually preparing with care.

It is said that Zhang Mingwei is his benefactor, and he must be grateful for it no matter what.

Many of these gifts have never been seen by Zhang Mingwei, which is probably even more strange to Zhu Mai and Chen Yuanyuan. So he refused to refuse and asked someone to accept them. At the same time, he also wrote down this businessman named Liu Mindong.

No matter what, this is a person who knows how to be grateful, and of course, he is also a person who knows and has the ability to be able to do so.

After Zhang Mingwei accepted the gift, Liu Mindong and his family left happily.

He decided in his heart that others didn't have this excuse yet, and he would give gifts to the Duke's mansion every year.

On New Year's Eve, the capital, everyone in the capital celebrates the New Year happily, because life is getting better every year.

……………………

However, in Shengjing, Liaodong, there is no such joyful atmosphere as the Ming Dynasty capital.

In the past year, every household has relatives and friends who die, and their lives are getting more and more sad. How can I get happy?

In the Battle of Jinzhou, more than 20,000 people died. The wars in North Korea, as well as Zhenjiang Fort, Jinzhou and Fuzhou were attacked and harassed by the Ming Dongjiang Army, and together, about 10,000 people died.

There are only a few people in the Qing Dynasty, and they can withstand so many deaths. Almost every household has a share, who can be happy!

And there are many things that are unhappy!

The Regent made a decision and gave up the coastal areas. There were grain fields there, from Gaizhou to Fuzhou, to Jinzhou, and even along the Yalu River. In short, as long as the Ming Navy's ship could reach, they gave up dozens of miles. I wonder how much the losses of this grain field were!

The population withdrawn inland also squeezed the interests of the inland side. Even if there are no dead people in the family, the interests will be damaged. Who can be happy!

It can be said that there has been no good things in the Qing Dynasty this year. They are also unsure about what the situation will be next year and are a little panicked!

Regarding this situation, Dorgon comforted them: "After retreating along the coast, the Ming navy will no longer be used. The Qing Dynasty will no longer have to suffer a surprise attack from the Ming army. Even if the situation is stabilized, our Qing Dynasty will still get better and better in the future!"

In fact, no one would have thought that the Ming army would also use the Yalu River to fight maneuvers. Before we knew it, the Ming Kingdom even went to Dongjiang Town to increase troops, so that Zhenjiang Fort was destroyed by the Ming army.

Hong Chengchou was gone, but Jianlu didn't care much. What they cared about was that they had to move inward along the Yalu River, and why did the Ming army have so many troops?

At this time, every Jianlu felt the hugeness of the Ming Dynasty and the strength of the Ming Dynasty!

Although the Qing Dynasty has moved inwardly, they have no idea how Ming will use troops against the Qing Dynasty next year.

Not to mention anything else, when the Qing Dynasty was seriously exhausted, as far as they knew, the Ming army on Shanhaiguan had 50,000 troops, and the Dongjiang army had nearly 20,000 troops, which was almost catching up with the full combat power of the Qing Dynasty.

If the Ming Kingdom concentrates all its strength to attack again, no one will be as good as before. He thinks that the Ming army will definitely win the naive idea of ​​"The Qing Dynasty" without fighting.

As Dorgon said this, he saw the expressions of these people at the highest level of the Qing Dynasty and knew what they were worried about.

If they do, it will be even harder for ordinary Qing people to say.

This situation has never happened before, and cannot be achieved again. The spirit must be cheered up.

So, Dorgon said to them again: "Think about it, at least our days will not be difficult this winter. Also, we have opened up a large number of grain fields in the north, and I believe that there will be no shortage of food in the future. As long as we have food and are not at risk of being raided by the Ming army, in a dignified battle, who am I afraid of in the Qing Dynasty?"

Speaking of this, he paused, raised his voice, and said firmly: "Next year, our Qing Dynasty will definitely have a better life than this year! With food and grass, we can use the combat power that our Qing Dynasty should have, and we will definitely win the battle!"

When the other princes of Jianlu Beile heard this, he felt a little dissatisfied.

It’s true that this winter is not as difficult as it has in previous years. But the biggest reason is not because of how many grain fields have been renovated, but because there are too many people who eat too much, so there will naturally be no need to worry about food!

As for fighting with the Ming army in a dignified manner, the Qing Dynasty would be willing. Will the Ming army be willing? Over the past few years, they have been conducting raids, and they have run away after a battle, and they don’t even want the city. Obviously, they just don’t want to fight with the same dignity as before!

But although they were thinking so, they also knew that they had to cheer up.

So Dai Shan took the lead and nodded in agreement. These Jianlu jointly created a cheerful atmosphere, pretending that next year would definitely be better.

……………………

One thing was unexpected by Jianlu. It is true that the Ming Dynasty has a vast land and a wealth of things. Correspondingly, there will be many things in the Ming Dynasty.

Look, far away from the southeast coast of the Ming Dynasty, just outside the coast of Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian, a fleet is coming here.

Everyone could see clearly at a glance that the warships of this fleet were not the blessing ships of the Ming Dynasty, but the sail warships of the Western Yi, with a total of ten ships.

Although in terms of the Ming Dynasty, there were only ten warships, which were a little short. However, for those who are familiar with the Western Yi, there were definitely many ten sail warships.

Just on the flagship in front, a group of Western barbarians stood there, and there were a few people, who looked like they were dressed in oriental people, and were talking.

"If the news is wrong, I will definitely be judged by Batavia, but you will definitely not be able to survive!" The leader of the Western Yi spoke in the Ming Dynasty. Although his accent was a bit strange, he still spoke very clearly.
Chapter completed!
