Chapter 242 One...twelve steps, the tiger enters the forest

Maybe it was his martial arts that really made a breakthrough unknowingly. After all, it had been a long time since he had competed with anyone.

I, Aksa, am so awesome.

So the more Aqsa fought, the more confident he became, and he danced like a tiger with a spear. Not to mention there were no rules, but at least it looked like the right thing to do.

On the opposite side, Hu Ge seemed to be gradually losing strength and retreating gradually.

"Thieves, please leave!"

"Fight another three hundred rounds with this general!"

Al-Aqsa roared confidently and actually wanted to chase Huge. Huge was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.

Brother, it's almost done. Do you know how uncomfortable it is for me to hold it in? I'm really afraid that if I get too strong, I'll beat you to death.

So, Huge ignored Al-Aqsa and left. He couldn't stay any longer. If he stayed any longer, he might be tempted to kill him directly.

Al-Aqsa confidently wanted to chase Huge again, but the horses on both sides were not at the same level, and he could not catch up to Huge for more than two steps, and was left behind by Huge.

"General Al-Aqsa is really brave, but it's a pity that this car doesn't work."

"When we return to Tughluq, I must ask the general to replace him with a good horse."

Ben patted Aksa on the shoulder and said happily, finally, he finally had someone who could fight.

"Your Majesty, thank you very much."

"It's a pity that we couldn't keep the traitor general, and we failed to live up to His Majesty's expectations."

Al-Aqsa pretended to be humble, but the corners of his mouth were grinning from ear to ear.

Under Al-Aqsa's "bravery", Tughluq and his party fought from left to right, and finally succeeded in breaking out of the encirclement.

"Hahahaha!"

"As expected, I am blessed by God and destined by destiny, at this moment."

"I want to recite a poem."

"One step, two steps, three or four steps, five steps, six steps, seven or eight steps. Ninety-one or twelve steps, escape..."

I raised my voice, trying to express the feeling of escaping and ascending to heaven, but I got stuck at the end.

"The tiger returns to the deep forest and the dragon enters the abyss."

Next to him, the corner of his mouth opened and he spoke.

"Not bad, not bad, not bad."

"This is exactly what I wanted to say. You were the one who beat me to it."

"How about it?"

"Xunli, you are well-educated and have read a lot of books from the Central Plains. Can you tell me how my poems go?"

Ben asked to the patrol.

"very good."

"The first three sentences describe His Majesty's hardships along the way, and the last sentence describes His Majesty's destiny, God's blessing, and the joy of finally returning to the sea."

Xunli twitched the corner of his mouth and said extremely contrary to his will.

Forget it, I'm going to give you, this idiot emperor, some face today. Just think of it as compensation for the fact that I led the way and didn't play the game.

Panyu City.

With the development of Lingnan and southern trade, it became more and more prosperous, especially with the announcement of the Ming-Yuan Friendship Announcement. Liu Bowen even had nothing to do with changing flags back and forth. He directly announced that he would allow Mongolian and Yuan merchant ships to land from Panyu, and also Avoid being noticed by the foreign businessmen who come here.

"Sir, Lingnan has developed rapidly recently, and the population has tripled. If you include businessmen from all over the country, it can increase five times."

Liu Xianghui's deputy, Zhao He, who is also the director of the Panyu Market Transaction Management Department, reports to Liu Xianghui.

"Well, that's good. Have you had any problems recently?"

These days, most of Liu Xiang's energy is devoted to arranging trade transfers, and most other matters have been left to this deputy who he promoted along the way. He has only recently begun to take over again.

"Most of them are fine, but recently there have been some rumors among the people, which are very detrimental to the development of our Ming Dynasty."

Zhao He said to Liu Xiang.

"Oh?"

"What kind of rumor?"

Liu Xiang narrowed his eyes.

"It's like this. The Ming Dynasty has been developing rapidly in the south recently." "The Yue Kingdom, Lancang Kingdom, and even Ava also have a tendency to want to join the Ming Dynasty."

"These places, even the relatively good Yue Kingdom, are lagging behind compared to the Ming Dynasty, especially the Lancang Kingdom, which has many hills inside, so the Ming Dynasty paid for and built many trade markets to control Lancang."

Zhao He said.

"Well, I know this. His Highness the British Prince's move is a masterstroke. He just built the trade market and made a lot of money without having to do too much responsibility. Our land in Lingnan is developing so fast. With this This strategy is inseparable."

"What rumors can there be about this? Is it possible that some of the officials there are corrupt?"

Liu Xiang nodded slightly.

"Sir, it would be fine if it is just corruption. If it is, then punish it severely, if not, refute the rumors."

"The problem is that the official doesn't know what to say about this rumor at the moment?"

Zhao He smiled bitterly.

"Speak quickly."

Liu Xiang suddenly felt interesting in his eyes.

"According to our traceability, this is not spread by businessmen from Zhanguo."

"They said that our Ming Dynasty spent money to build markets for Lancang and other countries for free, and used real money to help neighboring countries. This is really the style of the Chinese dynasty and is admirable."

"We people in Lingnan were quite indignant after hearing this. Although we did not dare to say anything to the court, there were many dissatisfactions in teahouses and restaurants."

"Sir, tell me, how could this be so? His Highness the British Lord's move has allowed countless families to have enough food and clothing, solved a large number of refugee problems, and can absorb barbarian resources for the Ming Dynasty. Isn't it a huge profit?"

Zhao He said with a bitter smile.

"You're right."

"The British public is even more wise."

"But the problem is that most people in Ming Dynasty have never read Ming Dynasty Economics. They have seen Wanli, but they cannot connect it with that one."

"Coupled with the sinister intentions and malicious guidance of those outsiders, they will have the feeling that the imperial court is using money to generously give away to the barbarians, and they will naturally be dissatisfied."

Liu Xiang sighed softly.

"Sir, how should we deal with this matter?"

Zhao He asked Liu Xiang.

"Can't handle it."

"Because this is not a groundless rumor, it is a misunderstanding that is difficult to correct. People who understand can only understand naturally. Those who do not understand must rely on trust in the court. If you neither understand nor trust the court, there will be no way to solve it."

"Go get the pen and ink. Next, Panyu's political affairs will have to be left to you for a while."

Liu Xiang said.

"My lord, what do you want to do?"

Zhao He asked curiously.

"Write a book."

"The behavior of the British Duke inspired me. Since I can't make everyone trust the court, why can't more people understand more?"

The corners of Liu Xiang's mouth raised slightly.

"What book do you... want to write?"

Zhao He was slightly startled.

"The Business Wisdom of British Publicans."

Liu Xiang said.

"My lord, what do you want to start with, the great achievements of His Royal Highness?"

Zhao Hefa asked.

"No no no!"

"If it is written like this, only people who originally trust the Ming Dynasty and admire the British Duke will read it. Then it will target the wrong group of people."

"If we want to write it, we have to let more people who love money but can't stand it read it."

Liu Xiang smiled with crooked eyebrows and said to Zhao He.
