Eight hundred and fortieth chapters this young master has a good heart
After Zhang Chengtian received the order, he was not in a hurry to release Li Qi. Instead, he waited for more than a day before wandering to the prison.
"You can come out now, Prince Consort Li."
Li Qi was trembling. Although he was not imprisoned for three days, it was more than a day before and after. There was no rice on his lips and his stomach was already empty. The clothes on his body could not withstand the cold and dampness of the prison.
He didn't understand why the prison was so cold. It was obviously sunny and windy outside, but after entering, the wind was blowing from all directions, and it was still blowing deep into his bones.
"Master Zhang Er, are you trying to trick me?" Li Qi said seriously: "What did you arrange in the prison?"
Zhang Chengtian said with a smile: "Nothing, just a few tips. I'll teach you, and I think you can still use them in the future."
Zhang Chengtian grabbed Li Qi and walked around outside the cell. Li Qi's nose suddenly became angry.
His cell had no windows, but the windows were not simply covered with paint, but had many broken narrow-mouthed jars.
The mouth is directed inside, then it goes to the bottom and directed outside.
In this way, the wind blows through the jar and comes out from the narrow mouth. There is a strong wind, and then there is some straw inside the jar. Every once in a while, someone adds some water to the straw.
How should I put it? Zhang Ximeng also has this thing in his study. It is a traditional air conditioner, used to cool down when studying in the summer.
As a result, Zhang Chengtian was asked to move into the cell, and Zhang Ximeng only used it in the summer. When he arrived at Zhang Chengtian's place, it was already autumn, but he still added water to it.
This means that Li Qi is young and in good health. If it were his father, he would probably meet the King of Hell in a day. But even so, Li Qi's waist and knees were sore, his bladder was heavy, and his prostate was enlarged.
That is unspeakably miserable!
"You, you are really full of bad ideas, you have gone too far!"
Li Qi gritted his teeth and almost wanted to kill Zhang Chengtian.
But the little fat man doesn't care at all. It's a joke, your father can't fight my father, will I still be afraid of you?
"Li Qi, you'd better wake up. The two of us are going to show off our horses and guns to see who is stronger... Your father is now the Duke of South Korea. He may be named the King of South Korea. He has a high position and is indeed respected by others.
But my father has been Taishi Lu Wang for a long time, which is particularly critical. My father is still in Yingtian, and your father can only be released. This is the gap, you have to recognize it!"
Li Qi had a livid face and said nothing.
Zhang Chengtian added: "You are now married to Princess Lin'an, who is the consort of the dynasty and your Majesty's son-in-law. This is true. But I don't care at all. Your Majesty has more than a dozen princesses, but I am the only one who is your direct disciple! And Mei
Yin's engagement to Princess Ning Guo didn't delay Mei Yin's head. If you make me unhappy, I will break up the two of you. Anyway, the emperor's daughter has no worries about getting married. How can I live a good life with a loser like you?
"
"you!"
Li Qi gritted his teeth, but it was of no use at all. He could only stare.
Zhang Chengtian continued: "Also, don't think that your father was granted the title of Duke of Korea, and that area of Korea belongs to your family. If you don't have anyone to help you in the court, sooner or later someone will deal with you severely! Prime Minister Sun
Not to mention, Hu Weiyong is now in charge of foreign development affairs, as well as Mao Gui, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Luo Furen, the new Minister of Taxation. None of them will let your father go, as well as Xu Da, the imperial censor.
, he also wants to get rid of your father and replace him with a lieutenant general to take charge of Korea. Li Qi, don’t glare at me. I don’t even have to take action personally. Just say a few words and you two will be in trouble! I know.
You dare to fight with me? You deserve it!"
The little fat boy seemed to have gone back to a few years ago, when the teacher taught him a lesson... It felt so good!
What Zhang Chengtian said was half-truth and half-false and should not be taken lightly.
Li Shanchang was actually acquitted of his crimes. Everyone knew this. The first reason why Lao Li was safe was because he had done so much. He had worked hard for at least twenty years, so he had to think of his benefits.
Secondly, Lao Li is cautious in his work, and there is not much evidence of obvious mistakes... But then again, there is no need to accuse Li Shanchang. If you really want to punish Li Shanchang, it is not difficult to find some accusations.
At the very least, if you employ people carelessly and form cliques for personal gain, first confiscate the Li family, and then take your time. Do you, Mr. Li, still think about it?
If nothing else works, bury some armor, crossbows, and fire guns behind Li Shanchang's house... This is the traditional business of the Guards Department. Don't worry about peeling off your old Li's skin.
And taking a step back, even if Li Shanchang is fine, can Li Qi be fine?
Can he still successfully inherit his father's position?
If you really marry a princess, can you sit back and relax?
Stop dreaming.
And from Princess Lin'an's point of view, she is willing to have this marriage?
In fact, since Princess Ningguo and Hu Yan got engaged, all the girls in Lao Zhu's family have gone wild.
Although it is natural for girls to get married.
But as princesses, they couldn't find a suitable one, so they married rashly and bullied others, which was not beautiful.
Therefore, these princesses are very confident and want to choose the one by themselves, and they are not at the mercy of Lao Zhu.
Only Princess Lin'an, who was older and among the first batch of Lao Zhu's children to get married, had no choice at all.
But if something happens to Li Shanchang's family, Li Qi is unlucky, and he finds another family to marry, what will happen? The princess of the Zhu family is a golden girl, and she is not very old.
Isn’t this a matter of course?
Don’t forget, in the current Ming Dynasty, Neo-Confucianism has long been out of date, and the person who reinterpreted the principles was none other than Master Zhang.
To put it bluntly, the Li family's life is not stable at all.
Li Shanchang was able to die smoothly, but Li Qi could not do the same.
After figuring this out, Li Qi went to Yingtian to fiddle with himself in order to get some money. His intention was self-evident.
If you go through this path, you can indeed get money smoothly, or even run it into an industry, then the Li family will have more guarantees, and Li Qi can also run a powerful force.
It can only be said that their plan was very good, but unfortunately Zhang Chengtian failed.
They even had this kid arrested, thrown into a prison, and kept in the cold for more than a day.
Li Qi, who always had a runny nose, had to admit that times have indeed changed, and people have to take a break.
His father is no longer useful. The one who really has the final say is Grand Master Zhang. Even the little fat man in front of him is someone he can't afford to offend.
"Young Master Zhang, don't say anything anymore. I know all of your Majesty's will. Now if you have any other orders, tell them all. From now on, I will obey you and follow your orders!"
Zhang Chengtian rolled his eyelids and said sarcastically: "He's quite smart. He deserves to be Mr. Li's son... Let me ask you, is it just your family who also sells his body? Tell me!"
Li Qi trembled all over, and then said: "It is true that it is not only us, but also the Huayun of Ryukyu and the Fang family of Xiaoryukyu. In addition, the Japanese country has sealed several vassal states. As for whether they have any thoughts, I don't know
Already."
Zhang Chengtian listened silently. The biggest achievement of the Ming Dynasty in overseas expansion was undoubtedly Goryeo. Li Shanchang was the Duke of South Korea and the governor of Goryeo. His every move affected various other places.
Hua Yun of Ryukyu was the first governor to go out. He controlled the Zhongshan Kingdom. Although the territory was not large, as a pearl on the sea, with merchants and prosperous trade, it was also a piece of fat.
Then there is the Fang family’s Xiaoliuqiu. Actually, it’s interesting to say that Xiaoliuqiu itself is much larger than Ryukyu, and its area is even larger than Hainan.
However, due to a calculation error, it was thought to be smaller than Ryukyu, so it was called Xiao Ryukyu.
This was the place originally chosen by Fang Guozhen to establish his country overseas.
This is what Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to early on, and Zhang Ximeng also encouraged expansion abroad.
Therefore, after Fang Guozhen's death, he was posthumously named King of Kaitai, and the Fang family continued to live in Xiaoliuqiu, living a very comfortable life.
Having developed to this stage, Ming Dynasty will focus on two places... One is the Japanese country. Tang He has already gone there to plant flags and occupy the land, and is ready to make a big move.
It is very important that the Japanese country can provide gold and silver to the Ming Dynasty.
Another place is Luzon discovered by Zhu Ying. The island is small and has a hot and humid climate, which is very suitable for growing sugar cane.
Moreover, gold and silver are also produced on the island, which is quite a treasure.
This time we brought in labor from Goryeo and arranged for Oara people to supervise the work, in order to pass through Luzon.
"Prince Li, your Majesty wants two hundred thousand troops from Korea. Can you provide them?"
Li Qi was helpless, "I don't know this either! But thinking about my father's ability, I can definitely figure it out!"
Zhang Chengtian shook his head repeatedly, "I'm talking about Li Qi, how old is your father? Can't you be more upbeat? We can't make the old man work too hard. Let me ask you, can you come up with any good ideas?"
Li Qike was asked by Zhang Chengtian. If he was of some use, it wouldn't mean he was of no use at all!
Zhang Chengtian was angry, "Trash! You are like this, you still want to take over Korea? Go ahead and dream! You have to show some skills and let people know that you are useful, you know?"
Li Qi said bitterly: "I, I really can't think of anything... Gao Li, Lu Song, I don't have any ideas... Just don't force me!"
Zhang Cheng's weather was bad, so he couldn't see the useless loser. You see, even though his grades were not good, with a little hard work, he immediately became number one in the school. This is his ability!
"You don't have any ideas, can you be obedient?"
"Who do you listen to?" Li Qi said stupidly.
"Of course you listen to me!" Zhang Chengtian said rudely: "You take the labor from Goryeo, give it to the Wala people, and take it to Luzon. I'll ask Zhu Chun to find a way to take the natives from Luzon to Goryeo and give it to Goryeo."
You plow the fields."
Li Qi was confused... Let the Koreans grow sugar cane and let the natives farm the land... Isn't this unnecessary?
"Second Young Master, why don't you do anything at all and let the Koreans farm the fields and the natives grow sugar cane!"
"Idiot! If you don't mess with them, who will pay us? You can only sell something to sue, trash!" Zhang Chengtian criticized rudely. Although he didn't study much economics, he also understood that if he didn't bother, there would be nothing.
There is profit to speak of.
If you want to make a fortune, you must remove these people from your hometown, manage them properly, and squeeze them hard. Only then can you create profits.
"Let's put it this way, if we can get 100,000 natives, we can get 100,000 more from Korea... This time, it's our profit... Let's do this, I will take 70% and leave the rest
Everything is yours."
Zhang Chengtian looked up to the sky and sighed, "I can't help it. I have a kind heart and I can't see that your hard work is in vain, so let's settle it!"
