Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 436 That Flower Is Dead
"Brother Li is also a cheerful person, and I don't hide it under my armpits. This Datong is the model after the Nine Frontiers, and you Liaodong will do the same! Now you are going to Gansu, if your predictions are correct this time, it will return to civil strife. It just happens to be a new pilot!"

Lin Tong didn't hide anything, he already knew about Li Xian, although he had never met him before, but according to the relationship between him and Jiang Bin, he actually had some relationship with Jiang Bin and the others.

This time in Gansu Huihui chaos, being able to send Li Xian to help is also considered to be an opportunity for him to make meritorious service.

"Mr. Lin, my brother is stupid, please give me some lessons from Mr. Lin!"

Li Xian was a little nervous.

Although he was in Liaodong, they were all at the border, and they both communicated with each other to pay attention to the situation at the border. They also heard about the things in Datong.

This time in Datong, almost two-thirds of the officials were demolished, especially the top officials were basically swept away, their wealth was confiscated, and many of them were considered lucky if they could not implicate the clan.

Many of the generals at the border now have a string in their hearts.

The big leaders have all changed, and now many of the top officers on the Nine Sides have also changed without knowing it. Even if there are opinions, they dare not make trouble.

In recent years, the border has been in chaos. Many so-called dignitaries may have some tricks if they want to cause civil strife. If they really want to meet ruthless characters with real knives and guns, all of them are like grandchildren.

Li Xian also discovered that many of the new border generals employed by the new emperor were young people, unlike the old guys who had occupied positions for many years and were only good at socializing and fighting.

In places like Border Gate, as long as the young people have power, they are always sharp and fierce, and they don't follow the old guys who play Tai Chi.

"Li Shen, remember that His Majesty is a person who does practical things. You must have seen the situation here in Datong. As long as you do practical things, you can protect yourself if you are not greedy or clever. See, you won’t bury talents, let alone rank seniority, this time you go to support Gansu, it’s definitely a good opportunity! Work hard!”

Lin Tong said directly.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, I understand!"

Li Xian clasped his fists gratefully.

……

Qin Shao was reading the letter from Hong Fu and Wang Hung when he heard the news of the sweet potato harvest in Datong.

Hong Fu and the others went to Guangzhou, sent a letter back, and said that they had found Pires, and that Magellan and the Pires brothers were reunited. They were very grateful for Qin Shao's kindness and were willing to work with Daming Merchant Marine.

Although Pires had been in Daming for many years as the ambassador of Grape Buds in Daming, in fact he had not had much contact there, and he was only doing his own business. Now that he has the support of the Emperor of Ming, for them, as long as they If you can satisfy your adventure dreams and make money, whoever supports you will do it!
Wang Hung has now been promoted to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and he often played games with the local local tyrants, and he didn't calm down until he captured two aristocratic families.

As for the Grape. Grape Sprout Army. Because of Magellan's mediation, they are in harmony with each other now.

After getting on the ship, Putaoya was very happy when he knew that Daming would have the idea of ​​switching. He began to collect goods from many places to prepare for the customs entry.

Wang Hong and the others also visited the gun ships of the Frangians under the recommendation of Magellan, and bought some to take back for research.

Although there were many twists and turns, everything went according to Qin Shao's arrangement.

When Wang Hung's iron and blood policy first started, it aroused the indignation of many aristocratic families, and there were incidents caused by a small group of people at one time.

However, during this period of time, many people and even aristocratic families began to turn their attention to another matter.

That is, the imperial court actually started to encourage merchant ships to go to sea!

Of course, the name of the fight is not to let them go to sea to do business.

The imperial court actually issued a notice saying: Nowadays, countries around the world, especially Frankie and other countries, are exploring the outside world and the earth, and many people are sailing around the world!My Ming Dynasty is a great country, and I cannot lag behind others. I especially encourage private merchant ships to explore and visit other countries to promote friendly relations and promote our Ming culture!Those who make outstanding contributions will be awarded medals by the imperial court!

As soon as this announcement was issued, it immediately caused an uproar in Guangdong, Guangxi and other places.

The imperial court even encouraged merchant ships to go to sea!
The imperial court even encouraged merchant ships to go to sea!
Although it is said that it is a voyage to explore and promote culture, it does not say that business is not allowed!

Since it is a private merchant ship, it is self-evident what everyone wants to do when they go to sea!
As for the outstanding contribution, it is also very cryptic. What is a contribution is naturally good for Ming Dynasty. It is hard to say about promoting culture, but if you pay more things and money to the court, you will definitely not refuse.

Some aristocratic families who had previously struggled with the imperial court's suppression of themselves and had a lot of psychological protests began to plan for merchant ships to go to sea.

It is absolutely huge profits to go to sea. You must know that in the past this kind of thing was only done by the private ships of some big people. Ordinary merchant ships had no chance at all. Now that there is such an opportunity, there are people who are willing to go to places with huge profits, even if it is a sea of ​​swords.

Once the Zhuhai Shipping Department of the imperial court was launched, many ship owners went to apply for enthronement.

Merchant ships going to sea must also be recorded. The owner of the ship, the equipment of the merchant ship, the number of people, and the identities of these people must be recorded. Only those who agree to the conditions can be released.

The notices of the family merchant ship recruiting sailors are also posted all over the street.

"How do you do it? Didn't I tell you to put it in the house at night? Why are you so careless!"

Qin Shao was reading the excerpts from Guangdong and Guangxi when he heard Zhang Zuo's scolding voice outside.

"what happened?"

Qin Shao asked loudly towards the outside, got up by the way, and stretched his neck which was a little uncomfortable from sitting.

Zhang Zuo scolded people so harshly, the matter should be related to his own side, and he probably didn't want to disturb himself when he encountered something that needed to be consulted.

"Your Majesty, the steward from the Imperial Garden came here...to tell you...that potted flower of yours...yesterday...yesterday, it didn't work!"

Zhang Zuo stammered a bit.

"What did you spend?"

Qin Shao didn't understand.

Although he also likes the environment where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, he does not have the habit of growing flowers in a leisurely way. He always thinks that it is the hobby of the elderly and women. When will he grow flowers?
There are thousands of flowers in the imperial garden, even though they are beautiful, he only goes for a walk occasionally to enjoy them, but he never plants anything.

"It was just before... Didn't the Frangi man give His Majesty a pot of flowers earlier? There are a few white flowers on tall poles with yellow stamens inside. Your Majesty asked me to send them to the garden to grow them. I hired a special person. I raised that potted flower, the flower grew bigger and bigger, and I changed a bigger pot, but the weather is cold, I don’t know why, the leaves of the flower are getting more and more yellow, the weather is cold these days, those people don’t have eyes, and the leaves are withered , and the pole has become dry..."

Zhang Zuo explained.

The flowers were sent by Frangi people. I have never seen them here. I thought they were rare items, so Zhang Zuo asked people to take good care of them. Charcoal or something.

Anyway, for Zhang Zuo, the emperor's order is a big deal, even if the flowers fall, as long as the leaves are green and the poles are green, it is enough to prove that he is alive, and it is all withered, how can he explain to the emperor?
"You said it was the potted plant sent by Magellan?"

Qin Shao suddenly remembered.

The reason why he said it was a potted plant was because the flower was a bit too inconspicuous compared to that plant, and he didn't know what kind of vision those Westerners had, it was so rare to see it as an ornamental plant!
Look at those words of Daming, peonies, peonies, each one is so gorgeous and beautiful, even the chrysanthemums given to the dead look very pleasing to the eye, these foreigners are weird!
"That's right! It's that pot! Now it's... being raised to death by that painter! I've already told them that it was sent by the Frangians, it's very precious..."

Zhang Zuo said angrily.

"It's just a potted plant. Maybe it's going to die when the weather is cold. The flowers bloom and fall. It's normal. After harvesting the seeds, we can plant them again next year!"

What about a little thing!

Qin Shao felt that Zhang Zuo was becoming more and more like a mother-in-law!
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, the flower didn't...have no seeds!"

Outside, a voice whispered.
