Last year, for the first time, Yingzhou was included in the world's credibility statistics as a governor-general. In the tenth year of Longqing, the credibility was 7.56 million. That year, it left the Donghai Governor-General, which had been established for six years, only 6.3 million ahead.
Ten Gui.
As for this lead, the Donghai Governor-General will probably never be able to catch up. Otherwise, the population difference is too large. The population of the Donghai Governor-General is just over one million, and the current actual controlled population of the Yingzhou Governor-General has exceeded five million.
Zhao Ran predicts that in the eleventh year of Longqing, after Yingzhou is under the complete control of Taoism, the population covered by evangelism will reach more than 10 million, the credibility value will easily exceed 20 million, and it is very likely to reach 30 million within three years.
Gui. Even if it is 30 million, it is only three Gui per capita a year. There is still huge room for development.
Zhao Ran's ten-year missionary target in Yingzhou was to exceed 100 million. According to the goal proposed by Zhao Ran, Zhang Juzheng formulated a ten-year plan to achieve it by popularizing Chinese, vigorously cultivating Yingzhou Taoist priests, and actively improving the livelihood of poor people.
.
In the first five years, that is, by the end of the 15th year of Longqing, the credibility value was 50 million; by the end of the 20th year of Longqing, the credibility value was 100 million. After that, Zhang Juzheng thought that it might not be his business.
He should have been transferred back to Beijing and tried to sit in the cabinet chair.
Da Ming's trustworthiness has reached the level of 3 billion, which means that Jiuzhou Pavilion can save 600 million every year, which is 6 billion in ten years. It will use 3.6 billion to open the Hongqiao Avenue, 2.4 billion to withstand the thunder, and it will soar in ten years.
One is truly wealthy. And to ascend one in ten years means that the effective queue sequence of the Hedao monks reaches twelve or even fourteen. Judging from the current situation of the Taoist sect, as long as the Hedao is completed, as long as the Hedao is completed
The first stage of Qi Sea Recasting can guarantee a worry-free ascension!
After the first month of the lunar month, there was still no news about Nazhen Fairy Tong. It was said that Zhenshitang wanted to hold a Zhaijiao and invite Nazhen Fairy Tong to show his sainthood, but Zhang Yuanji also refused. Duanmu Changzhen held several classes in succession on Gezao Mountain to enshrine him.
One thousand taels increased to 10,000 taels, 50,000 taels, and 100,000 taels, but the fairy boy Nazhen was not invited, so everyone could only continue to wait.
At the end of February, after consolidating all the territories occupied, Zhao Ran instructed the Governor-General to begin a gradual attack on the Kansai region. Zeng Ruming sent his army westward from Edo to capture Shizuoka.
In mid-March, Zeng Ruming marched into Hamamatsu.
In early April, the Ming army organized the Edo garrison. The Ezo garrison totaled 30,000 people. They joined forces with the 50,000 Yingshu army under Hideyoshi's personal command in the Noo Plain. They completely defeated their opponents and occupied the Nagoya Castle that Hideyoshi had just built.
, opened the door to Kansai, Hideyoshi led the remaining army to retreat to Honganji Temple, and settled in Osaka.
Everyone can see that Hideyoshi Sekihaku is on his last breath. Daimyos from all over Kansai have surrendered their loyalty to the Ming army and have to accept extremely harsh conditions to ensure the survival of the family.
But Zhao Ran did not continue to march. He asked the Governor's Mansion to wait. He waited until June, at the end of this month. After a year, Nazhen Fairy Boy finally appeared again.
In the eyes of the uninformed, this year was unremarkable and no different from ordinary times. But in the eyes of people like Zhao Ran of Yingzhou, this year was an unusual year, and something big must have happened behind the scenes.
On the third day of July, the Governor's Mansion received an official document from the joint meeting, requesting a detailed report on the battle situation in Yingzhou. Zhang Juzheng worked for three days and nights, completed a report, handed it to Zhao Ran for review, and sent it to the joint meeting. This was not
The joint meeting is urging the war, but the True Master Hall is urging the war, and the person urging the war is Zhang Yuanji.
In the middle of the month, Old Man Hu came to Edo and asked Zhao Ran for cash again.
Zhao Ran refused: "Last September, we delivered the silver mountain to you, and we were very cooperative with your manpower and material needs, perfectly fulfilled the original agreement, and even suspended the collection of silver courses. According to
I know that Yinshan's annual silver production now reaches 1.5 million taels, and it is still growing. More than 70% of the entire silver production in Yingzhou is in your hands. At this time, you come to me and ask for silver?
The combined annual output of several other silver mines occupied by Daomen is less than a quarter of yours. Old senior, you actually ask me for silver, is that okay?"
Old Man Hu did not argue with Zhao Ran, but said very sincerely: "Three million taels were borrowed by my ancestor. In the remaining two years, all the silver produced in Yinshan will be used to return it to the Taoist sect."
Seeing that the other party was exhausted and seemed overwhelmed, Zhao Ran asked: "Senior Hu, the Lord of Qingqiu wants so much cash, what is it for, can you tell me?"
Old Man Hu shook his head in silence, and Zhao Ran shook his head as well: "Since you don't want to say it clearly, I don't have to ask, but we refuse to lend money."
“Why can’t we borrow silver when we have a mountain of silver as proof?”
Zhao Ran replied: "Although you don't want to say it clearly, I can tell you the truth. The Zhenshitang has begun to ask about the situation in Yingzhou. I have reason to suspect that this is Master Zhang Yuanji under the instruction of Nazhen Fairy Boy.
It was carried out. I heard that a grand feast was held in Jianji Temple last month, and 500,000 taels of cash were offered at one time. Therefore, I have no doubt that when Yingzhou is fully naturalized, it will be the day when the Governor's Mansion will hand over the silver...
We can't even wait until that time. Three million taels is not a small amount. I have lent you the banknotes. What will the Governor's Office have to pay for it then?"
Old Man Hu felt sad for a moment and was sent out of Edo by Zhao Ran. But only two days later, he came back.
"Why is the old man here again? The Governor's Mansion really doesn't dare to lend you money."
Old Man Hu said: "Old man, I'm here to greet Consultant Zhao. My ancestor wants to see you."
The Lord of Qingqiu was in Yinshan, not far away. Zhao Ran saw him in a stone building at the foot of Yinshan. He sat on a futon and invited Zhao Ran to sit opposite him: "In Yingzhou
We have been together for two years..."
"Two and a half years!"
"Well, it's been two and a half years. It can be said that we have fought side by side for a long time. It is rare to see the real face until today."
Zhao Ran said: "I have heard the name of the Lord of Qingqiu for a long time, and now I come to pay him a visit. It is disrespectful to Xiaodao."
While they were talking, Chun Niang came up and brought a pot of tea, gave Zhao Ran a wink and turned to leave.
Zhao Ran has already reached the level of a great alchemist, and no longer Wu Xia Amen, although he still feels very attractive, he will no longer be seduced into losing his composure by her charm. Instead, he calls her out and says: "Senior Chun Niang...
…”
Chun Niang smiled: "It's better to call me Chun Niang."
Zhao Ran nodded: "Chun Niang, I haven't seen you for many years. Your appearance has changed a lot compared to before."
Chun Niang asked with a smile: "Isn't it beautiful?"
Zhao Ran said: "Nature is beautiful, but it makes me feel familiar and reminds me of someone."
"who is it?"
"In the 27th year of Jiajing reign, Xuanyuan Temple in Sichuan Province all said that Ye Yunxuan was involved in the case. One of them was that he killed his concubine and then destroyed the body and destroyed the traces. The method was cruel. Her concubine was named Wanniang. I have seen the painting..."
Chun Niang smiled and asked: "Do you want to question me?"
Zhao Ran said: "Wan Niang is not guilty at all. She is just trying to prove her case."
