Chapter 307: Money, that's all my money! [Please subscribe! ]

Wang Chengguang felt Zhu Yijun's strong desire, but he was a little powerless to complain. He sat on the ground, drinking and eating meat, showing a relaxed atmosphere. This state also made Zhu Yijun more...

Anyway, he had never experienced this kind of relationship in his life.

After Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, he had an extremely strict mother, and a former close friend Feng Bao who treated him like a child, together with Zhang Juzheng and his mother, who controlled him in all kinds of extremely strict ways. The more severely he was suppressed in the past, the more ferocious his revenge would be after he really came to power.

Putting those aside, considering Zhu Yijun's status as emperor for more than 20 years, he had never seen anyone like Wang Chengguang who was so casual in front of him and didn't care about his status.

See you soon!

Zhu Yijun pushed Chen Ju away and walked towards Wang Chengguang. During the process, he ignored Chen Ju's attempts to dissuade him and limped... Yes, Zhu Yijun was very ill. One of his legs was longer than the other, and he also had muscle atrophy and other problems.

And often feel dizzy, weak and powerless.

He walked a few steps and sat one meter away from Wang Chengguang. He asked curiously, "Can I have a taste of your meat jerky? It looks delicious to you."

Chen Ju hurriedly called out to the Emperor a few more times, "Your Majesty, please don't do this..."

Wang Chengguang laughed, "Please, I came here this time to discuss a business with your majesty. I will sell 15 Tianji Lanterns in addition to this one. Your majesty's Dongchang and Jinyiwei can sell them all over the country. At the current market price, it is not difficult to sell 15 lanterns for six or seven million taels of silver."

"I don't want money. What I want are the various martial arts techniques and secret manuals recorded in the Imperial Palace's storage. I hope Your Majesty will allow me to copy them all and take them away. They will originally stay in the Imperial Palace."

This time, besides being curious about what kind of person Zhu Yijun was, his biggest desire was for the secret manual of martial arts.

Just sneak in and steal some, there is a chance that you won't be discovered. But if it is not difficult to trade out peacefully without spending much money on yourself, then give it a try.

Zhu Yijun ignored Chen Ju's attempts to stop him and grabbed a piece of meat jerky to eat. His eyes widened, "This is impossible. How can there be such delicious food in the world?!"

As he spoke, he waved his hands and started grabbing it!
The most important thing about the emperor's diet is safety and stability, so you can't say that the emperor's kitchen only serves pig food, but the taste is really not outstanding.

What Wang Chengguang made himself was a perfect culinary skill!
What is the concept of perfection? Whenever a new ingredient comes into your hands, all kinds of knowledge and skills on how to make it taste best are automatically acquired.

After arriving at the plane of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer: Oriental Invincible, there are many fish catches, wild game delicacies, etc. that do not exist in the upper planes, and you can get the best and most perfect preparations and cooking.

This was a dimensionality reduction blow to the Wanli Emperor, who was regarded by the literati in the court as being deeply addicted to wine, sex, money and power and unable to extricate himself!

After the fight for food started, Zhu Yijun was still stimulated by the big business of six or seven million taels of silver... Later, Wanli had no money to spend, so he used the eunuchs to collect mining taxes, which was hailed as one of the important stupid moves that brought down the Ming Empire. The mining taxes that lasted for many years contributed a total of five or six million taels of silver to the Ming Empire.

The three great expeditions of the Wanli Emperor emptied the national treasury and internal affairs, and also consumed the family fortune built by Zhang Juzheng, but only cost 1100 million taels of silver.

Zhu Yijun quickly looked at Chen Ju, chewing with big mouthfuls in his mouth, his eyes were always inquiring. Chen Ju nodded awkwardly, "Your Majesty, theoretically, the Tianji Lantern is really popular and popular. It is praised as a precious treasure by Duke Wei and Elder Shen. It is scattered all over the world, so it is possible to sell it for so much money."

Zhu Yijun nodded immediately, "Old Wang, that's not right. I feel like it's not right to call you Old Wang when you're so young. I'd rather call you Little Wang..."

Zhu Yijun is 30 years old this year. He has many serious illnesses and is also quite obese. In his eyes, Wang Chengguang is at most in his early 20s, a young man.

Wang Chengguang coughed and interrupted, "Don't use that word, Your Majesty, you need to be steady."

Zhu Yijun was confused for a few seconds, "Xiao Wang, you only want the martial arts secrets in the inner storage? Just copy it?"

Wang Chengguang nodded, "Eunuch Chen should know that every time I appear in various places to sell Tianji Lanterns, I only want the most basic and common martial arts manuals."

The transport warehouse in the imperial palace of this dimension is not simple. It has collected and sealed the original version of the Sunflower Manual since the third year of Hongwu!
There are also many other kinds of martial arts secrets, including various high-end techniques.

Zhu Yijun laughed, "I agree to this deal. Daban, you should arrange for someone to copy it immediately."

After receiving the order, Chen Ju did not leave. He coughed twice in melancholy. The palace gate was opened from the outside, and several young figures flashed in. They were all eunuchs. Outside the gate, many people holding knives and swords had gathered, and many of them had their wrists on the hilts of their knives and swords.

Wang Chengguang didn't care about that and nodded, "I didn't bring so many things with me this time so I can travel light to see Your Majesty. I will send them to Your Majesty next time."

This is a business worth several million taels of silver!

The Tianji Lantern was hyped and marketed... and it was the top wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty who took the initiative to help with the hype and marketing, from the Duke of Wei to the former Prime Minister, or local clans, all of whom fell into Mr. Wang's trap unknowingly.

The more valuable the Tianji Lantern is, the more high-end and classy it is. They have it, but others don't.

Isn’t this the greatest quality display?
Scarcity makes things valuable, and they have great practical value, and they have been hyped for half a year...

The group of people outside holding knives and swords were all invisible before a dozen Tianji Lanterns fell into Zhu Yijun's hands and exploded into silver.

Zhu Yijun and the other young and middle-aged men received the order and ran out again. After closing the door, they spoke, "May I ask why you are asking for so many martial arts secrets?"

His philosophy and mentality is the most traditional way of learning civil and martial arts, goods and the imperial family!

But he felt that Wang Chengguang was not such a traditional civil or military man.

Wang Chengguang laughed, "I'm not sure either. I'll tell you later after I've collected all the information."

For this plane, after pursuing the martial arts secrets, should we do something else? In fact, rebellion is not impossible, but the problem is that it will cost a lot and we may have to massacre a group of truly loyal people who have been nurtured by the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.

It would definitely not be appropriate if it were too bloody.

This also requires starting from illiterate people and cultivating a large number of knowledgeable backbones, which takes too long. It is not difficult to conquer the world... Wang Chengguang started from scratch and built a rapid-fire gun factory such as the Hanyang Factory and the Mauser 98 Factory, and he could sweep the world with thousands of people.

It's hard to rule the country! Without 1593 to years of training a large number of knowledgeable and idealistic people, it's hard to govern. And they are all Han Chinese. How many people are there in the world now? How many unowned lands are there? It's only !

The next moment he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you ask Eunuch Chen to send more people to the southeast coast, Fujian and Zhejiang to have a look and listen. The pirate groups over there only collect tolls, protection fees, etc. from sea merchants. If you don't collect 800 million taels of silver a year, you can't be considered a successful pirate!" "What about Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, etc.? The trade between them and Fuso is also full of countless wealth. If you want to make money, you have to look out."

Zhu Yijun was shocked again and said in disbelief, "Pirates can make so much money? Are you lying to me? This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"

In the era after Zhang Juzheng's reforms, the early and middle period of the Wanli period seemed to be a peaceful and prosperous era. What the hell were pirates in the emperor's mind?

Wang Chengguang took out 15 Tianji Lanterns and sold them for - million taels of silver. The white silver made him feel like ants were crawling all over his heart. Pirates...

Chen Ju bowed hurriedly, "Your Majesty, I will send the factory guards to inquire and confirm the news as soon as possible. I hope that Prince Wang has not deceived the emperor in this matter."

Wang Chengguang smiled and glanced at Chen Ju. "Eunuch Chen, why do all the big and small Frankies travel thousands of miles across the sea to come to Ming? Do you think they will come if they earn less? They are happy to travel thousands of miles across the ocean. Do they do this to lose money?"

Zhu Yijun and Chen Ju were both silent.

After a few seconds of silence, Chen Ju smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have heard a saying that as long as you can make a lot of money, there are many people who will rush to do the business, even if it means getting killed. This is why the illegal salt trade continues despite repeated bans."

Zhu Yijun was also full of emotion. "Not only me, but also the late emperor was often curious. All kinds of gold and silver mines in the Central Plains were mined in the Tang and Song dynasties. However, in recent years, the various types of silver circulating in the Ming Dynasty have increased..."

"I have always suspected that there is a new silver mine somewhere that is being developed and controlled by the gentry group. They have been deceiving me, so I thought about opening a mine, but the officials put too much resistance. So it turns out that the silver came from overseas?"

If you don’t have a God’s perspective, you wouldn’t know that a large amount of silver from Spain, Fuso and other countries was pouring into the Ming Dynasty. This would really make you question your life.

For no apparent reason, a large amount of silver flowed into the market in the Ming Dynasty, and prices soared.

Wang Chengguang said with a smile, "The gold and silver mines overseas are more than ten or twenty times that of China. Even more than fifty times. Westerners who travel all over the world just robbed shiploads of gold and silver and came to Ming to shop for silk, porcelain, tea, etc."

"Your Majesty may not know, but the coastal gentry, including the pirates, have made so much money that they have nowhere to spend it. A mere dozen or so Heavenly Secret Lanterns are just expensive!"

Zhu Yijun slapped the ground hard, "Money, that's all my money!"

He felt like every pore in his body was crying out, that was all my money! No wonder successive emperors had so much resistance when it came to opening up the sea.

Wang Chengguang said again, "But if Your Majesty wants to collect this money, it will be very difficult. You must have the elite royal division under your control, from the army group to the navy group. If you invest millions of taels to build a large army, it will be easily embezzled by corruption, and only one in ten will actually reach the soldiers."

"The Ming army is invincible if it is fully paid!"

The next moment he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Chen, I'm leaving first. Next time I will bring enough Tianji Lanterns to trade with Your Majesty. Eunuch should also advise Your Majesty to pay attention to his health."

It was not easy for Zhu Yijun to live to the age of 58 as he was already in poor health, very fat and suffering from various diseases, and was always addicted to alcohol, sex, money and power.

Zhu Yijun stood up in a hurry, and he felt dizzy and almost fell down. When Chen Ju supported him and said, "Your Majesty, be careful," Wang Chengguang had already used his body skills to disappear like a ghost.

Zhu Yijun chased after them, and when many eunuchs and guards were kneeling on the ground, he looked around for a few times before returning to the Yangxin Palace. He held the Tianji Lamp that was left behind and looked at it for a long time, "My dear friend, is this thing difficult to make? How can it be worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?"

Chen Ju smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, I can only say that this treasure is a work of exquisite craftsmanship. If there are nobles who don't believe in superstition, please ask the world's skilled craftsmen to open one and study and try to imitate it. But after trying, it can no longer be closed, and it is completely scrapped."

"On the surface, it looks like a gem as big as an adult's fist, but inside... all the various mechanical devices are like a small world. Even if Lu Ban were to be resurrected, he would be disappointed."

Zhu Yijun was extremely excited. "Such a small thing can be sold for millions of taels with just a dozen pieces. Wang is making a lot of money!"

Chen Ju took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, are those martial arts secrets going to be tampered with?"

Zhu Yijun thought about it and shook his head. "No, just copy whatever you have. How can I break my promise to a young man? But you have to pay close attention to the southeast coast. If there is really that much money, then this is what the civil and military officials of all dynasties have done. They have treated our Zhu family like fools!"

Chen Ju accepted the order again, "If Your Majesty wants to receive the money, you really have to take good care of your body. Emperor Chengzu must have made a real profit from his seven voyages to the West. Otherwise, the cost would have been too huge. Besides, the information about Emperor Chengzu's treasure ships is gone."

Zhu Yijun grabbed the wine jug and took a sip, "Money, that's all my money!!"

When he thought about the millions of taels of silver he earned every year being divided up by the Southeastern gentry and pirates, he was so distressed that he no longer had any interest in visiting Concubine Zheng.

The next moment, Zhu Yijun said with a dark face, "Bring me the main civil and military information of the Wang family of Ba County, the Wang family of Langya, the Wang family of Xiangqian, and the Wang family of Jiaozhou. I want to promote them!"

…………

A new day came. When Wang Chengguang and Xue Qianxun walked out of the guest room together, it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning. Thanks to the tonic nature of the Yiri Sanqiu skill, Xue Qianxun was not only able to lose weight and enjoy herself, but her internal strength was also accumulating bit by bit and becoming stronger.

It was during these few days that Wang Chengguang's basic internal skills, basic swordsmanship, basic light skills, etc. all advanced to the next level.

He has also been considering whether to go back to the 21st century. When he first traveled through time, he only had two 27-cubic-meter storage warehouses and had prepared a lot of things, some of which could be used, while others could not be used and still took up space.

For example, if Xiaohuo is left at home in a valley beside the Qingshui River, communication... that is, radio communication requires carrying professional equipment. No matter how it is optimized and upgraded, radio communication is far inferior to satellite communication.

Go back and get some hot air balloon satellites? ? Build some signal base stations and launch real outer space communication satellites. The cost is too high, and it also requires a huge launch base to be built in the Swordsman world. It's too troublesome for him and Xiao Huoshou to work together.

This is not a trivial matter to build a large modern villa.

However, a hot air balloon satellite can communicate for about half a year once launched, and if combined with base stations, it can directly bring us into the era of mobile phones and the Internet!
Get some more drones and let Xiaohuo set up his own LAN control... In this era, DJI drones equipped with ordinary quick guns are much easier than having three thousand evil-repelling eunuchs conquer the world.

Then he can try to build a real mushroom laboratory in Fuso and equip the Iron Man armor with nuclear fusion energy! An unmanned Iron Man suit, equipped with a 3000-drone network, an epoch-making dimensionality reduction air control force!
He could easily not use it, but he couldn't live without it.

DJI’s weapons can’t even fight in the feudal era. After this mode is tested, it can also carry out dimensionality reduction attacks when encountering World War II.
