Chapter 455 Chapter 455 Zheng Guo's Version of the Westernization Movement

There are actually no problems with the design of this whole set of development, and even the trick of killing the donkey at the end is feasible in reality.

Therefore, the strategy offered by the young man is basically a conspiracy, a real trick in the pocket of a brain like Zheng Tong who can't see any problems at all.

But looking at the overall situation, this flawless trick can really kill the fate of Zheng Guoguo.

You know, there is the Datang Group, a force that is sharpening its knives and looking at it, and the current development focus of the Datang Group is all on the strategy of Zheng Guo.

When the state of Zheng has a bit of an industrial base and roads connecting it everywhere, where is it Zheng Tong's turn to cut leeks?
At that time, Tang Mo's mechanized troops would control these places that already had an industrial base at a faster speed, and directly absorb Zheng Guo's investment into his stomach.

Thinking of this level, it can be said that Zheng Guo is going to industrialize, is it wrong to play the Westernization Movement?No, on the contrary, if Zheng Guo's performance is bad, Zheng Tong won't even have a chance to struggle. If he starts to industrialize, he will at least have an illusory chance to struggle.

Although you will still lose and go bankrupt in the end, sitting at home and waiting for others to come to kill you is different from taking the capital and giving it a go.

No one would choose to sit still, so even if he sees through everything, Zheng Tong will still make the choice to struggle—not to mention, Zheng Tong can't see this level.

His position has already been decided, and the concept of Zheng Guo being destroyed will never exist in his mind.This is the limitation, this is the mindset of the monarch!

Any ruler will subconsciously block the option that their rule may end, and they will be selectively blind until everything becomes irreversible.

The same is true of Zheng Tong, he has nothing special, so he also started to fantasize normally, fantasizing about a Zheng country rising against the trend in his hands.

"Kill?" He looked into the young man's small eyes and asked tentatively.

"The one who is obedient can naturally be taken for his own use." The ugly young man has become pleasing to Zheng Tong's eyes at this moment.

Zheng Tong, who was more satisfied with this young man, looked at Li Jun: "General... Mr. I ask you, is your knife sharp?"

"Killing people for His Majesty, the minister's knife cuts iron like mud!" Li Jun hurriedly expressed his position, smiling flatteringly.

"Uh...hahaha! Hahahaha!" Zheng Tong looked up to the sky and laughed triumphantly. With a smile, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the young man's hand, and asked, "Mr. I don't know where the teacher is from?"

The young man replied with a smile: "To be honest, I once studied in the military academy of Bunas Datang Group."

"Huh?" Zheng Tong frowned when he heard the name Datang Group, and held the young man's hand slightly harder.

The young man was neither humble nor overbearing, and explained: "Your Majesty, even if I am dissatisfied with the Datang Group, I still have to tell the truth that the military academy of the Datang Group is really the best school in the world. Many people have different ideas, but they have to admit it.”

Seeing that the young man was so frank, Zheng Tong couldn't understand the situation. He stared at the young man, waiting for the young man to continue to explain.

"Your Majesty, I went to school to assist the Ming Lord and benefit one side. I never thought that where I study, I will serve there." I only heard the young man explain: "I am from Zheng Guo. I will not return to China to assist Your Majesty and strengthen my country." , wouldn’t this life be in vain?”

Who can sing high-profile words? There is no cost to shouting slogans. Anyway, pick up what the other party likes to listen to. If you say it nicely, there will be no problem in the end.

So young people continue to set themselves up as patriotic returnees who have given up the favorable conditions abroad and returned home to build their hometown: "So I was kicked out before I graduated. Don't laugh at me, Your Majesty."

"Well said!" Zheng Tong was really satisfied with this statement, but as the lord of the country, he naturally had his own thoughts and judgments.

So he continued to laugh and said: "How can you laugh at Mr.! It's worth not to go to such a place! No matter how good it is, it will be an uncomfortable place after all! By the way, I haven't asked Mr. Gao's name yet."

"Pang Tong!" The young man replied proudly, remembering the nickname the headmaster had given him that day.He didn't know where the name came from, he just remembered that the headmaster patted his shoulder and smiled strangely, and kept muttering meaningless things like crouching dragon and phoenix chick.

"Mr. Pang... temporarily take the deputy position of the Ministry of Industry, and make him an earl! Reward... reward the mansion!" Zheng Tong found that when he gave the official position, he was far from saying that the reward was distressing.

He intended to give this pleasing ugly man [-] gold coins, and then reward him with some servants and beautiful concubines... But he didn't realize it until he was talking, all of them cost money!
This so-called deputy of the Ministry of Industry actually has no real power, and the earl is just a bonus, and the title salary has not been paid for many years.So in the end, apart from a house, there is nothing valuable left.

So he hesitated, and just as he was hesitating, the young man named Pang Tong spoke directly with understanding and interrupted his reward: "Thank you, Your Majesty! It is a great honor for you to relieve your majesty's worries."

This well-timed interruption made Zheng Tong very comfortable, secretly thinking that the other party was sensible.But he still had to do enough to save face, so he patted the back of the young man's hand, and said again: "Now the country's affairs are difficult, you and General Li are in the same boat with me, and in the future...the future will never forget each other!"

Now he only has this skill left, so he uses it when he takes it, and uses it naturally, skillfully, and with deep affection.

This "phoenix chick" from another world also has outstanding acting skills, and she immediately brought her own role, and the coastal tears were extremely sincere, which is called heart-pumping.

Soon, Zheng Tong ordered someone to send this person away, and when only Li Jun and himself were left in the room, he asked, "Is this person...reliable?"

"Your Majesty, if you can offer us such a strategy, you must... really want to find an official position in Zheng Guo to honor your ancestors?" Li Jun didn't say anything, because he knew that Zheng Tong would definitely not trust this young man who called himself Pang Tong unconditionally. .

Sure enough, Zheng Tong sighed and said: "He revealed his identity, probably because he guessed that we will definitely investigate him... But it may not be because he is open-minded, so he didn't hide it. You don't need to worry about this matter, I will handle it .”

This is to personally arrange for someone to review, and Li Jun doesn't care about it. Anyway, Zheng Tong is willing to do the best by himself, so he avoids suspicion.

"What do you think of the strategy he mentioned?" Zheng Tong glanced at Li Jun, and brought the topic back to "Zheng Guo's version of the Westernization Movement".

"I think there is some reason. We are short of money, and Cyric's weapons are not cheap. If we keep buying Cyric's weapons, the speed will not be so fast." Li Jun immediately thought for himself The person who recommended it said: "What's more, in fact, we have no money right now. Without this strategy, we have nothing to do now. Why don't we try..."

Zheng Tong immediately nodded in agreement and said: "Indeed, anyway, we have no money in our hands, why don't we make an opening and let those penny-pinching businessmen to toss about!"

After finishing speaking, he held Li Jun down and ordered, "You handle this matter yourself. You can't pass Pang Tong's hands, understand? Then I will arrange my confidants to find you. This kind of business, the royal family naturally You should do it too."

"I... understand." Li Jun bowed his head immediately.He knew that Zheng Tong's confidants must have come to make a fortune, and they also came to monitor him. It is impossible for Zheng Tong to completely trust someone for such a big matter.

Even before coming here, Li Jun had already predicted that it was impossible for Zheng Tong to allow "Pang Tong" who offered advice to participate in the implementation of the plan.

But this ugly young man didn't care about it at all. He claimed that he was only here to offer advice and advice, and had nothing to do with how to operate it later.

This open-mindedness and freedom also convinced Li Jun that young people really have no conspiracy.Because if something is really hidden, it is impossible to hand over the entire plan to unrelated people for operation and execution.

Sure enough, on the second day, this clever plan made the civil official group nod: they have no reason to reject such a plan, because this plan is really sending money to them!

As long as Zheng Guo starts to build various local workshops, profits will definitely be generated. At that time, the exploitation of local officials, the bribes from the profits, and the taxes submitted will all be real benefits.

How could anyone object to such a plan? Even Zhang Ming didn't see anything tricky, so he simply nodded in agreement.

It is nothing more than that they have also made a little compromise: when setting up industries and starting the "Westernization Movement", they have to take care of several arsenals.

No one objected to such an insignificant request. His Majesty the King made concessions and stopped engaging in that deceitful arms procurement plan. Of course, they can turn a blind eye to these so-called arsenals.

After the plan was approved, the raising of funds went smoothly. After receiving the contracts, many merchants started to raise funds spontaneously, starting the road to industrialization in Zheng.

In this matter, merchants in coastal cities are particularly active.Not only did they raise a lot of money, but they immediately started building factories.

Yes, these coastal businessmen are frighteningly enthusiastic about opening a factory. Their attitude is so positive that before they even talk about buying equipment, the foundation of the factory has begun to be dug.

What's even more outrageous is that the roads connecting the various factories seem to have been laid long ago, and even the railway station on the outskirts of the port has begun to take shape.
