I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 140 Tang Bohu and three others enter the imperial mausoleum! Zhu Houzhao: There is still a big gap between us and the United States!

Xiaoling.

early morning.

Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing stood at the entrance of Xiaoling Mausoleum, looking at their respective eunuch costumes, slowly suppressing their surprise and discomfort, and waited patiently.

Early this morning.

They received the secret order and rushed to Xiaoling.

What they didn't expect was that they thought they were working at Xiaoling Guard outside Xiaoling.

But he didn't expect that he would now enter Xiaoling.

If this matter were to spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Fortunately, maybe Zhu Houzhao had a plan and asked them to change into eunuch uniforms.

"Three of you, before entering the Xiaoling Mausoleum, our family would like to remind you once again that you are now the eunuchs of our palace. Xiao Huzi, Xiao Mingzi, and Xiao Qingzi will go in to serve the emperor and clean the emperor's tomb with us. No. Don’t talk about what you should look at, and don’t talk about what you shouldn’t say.”

"If you can't do it, you don't have to go in."

"If this matter is leaked, not only you, but also your nine clans will come to accompany Taizu. No, you are not qualified to accompany him. At most, he will be buried by Taizu."

Wei Bin walked out from the depths of Xiaoling and saw them changing clothes.

A warning was also given.

"Father-in-law, we know."

The three people immediately promised, but they also knew that there was no room for refusal.

Everyone has seen this scene. Their wealth, lives and the nine clans behind them are obviously completely locked to the emperor.

They couldn't get off this pirate ship even if they wanted to.

But in their panic, they felt an uncontrollable excitement and expectation.

Why the second-level boss Huang Bao looked at them so highly was not because they were doing secret things for the emperor.

Now, they may have withstood a further test. The emperor wanted to give them a more important task and made an exception to allow them to come to such a place.

Zhu Houzhao's move was too bold and unnatural.

When word spread, Zhu Houzhao might only be criticized by officials, but the three of them and their family would never survive.

They can only be firmly bound to Zhu Houzhao, and they even have a handle on them. This is a crisis, and it is an unimaginable wealth.

They can only pinch their thighs hard to calm themselves down and think more about their families.

"Okay, come in."

Wei Bin turned around and took the lead and entered Xiaoling.

The three of them took a deep breath and dived in.

After entering, they didn't even dare to look up. They could only look at Wei Bin's heels and follow Wei Bin's footsteps closely.

"Your Majesty, people have been brought here."

Soon, Wei Bin stopped in front.

"Let them come in, keep a good guard outside, and prepare meals."

"Yes!"

"Go in, Xiao Huzi, Xiao Mingzi, Xiao Qingzi."

Wei Bin looked at the three people who lowered their heads, with a hint of envy in his eyes. How much he wanted to help Zhu Hou do secret things.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have the ability.

"Yes!"

The three of them dared to enter the secret room. As soon as they entered, the stone door of the secret room was closed.

But the three of them felt suddenly enlightened and extremely bright, and they didn't even feel depressed.

Because when you look up, this secret room is brightly lit with candles. There is even a patio above that can let in light. The ventilation system is also well done. There is even gurgling water, flowers and plants where you can see it.

If they hadn't known that this was an imperial mausoleum, they would have thought they were in the underground palace garden.

"Come in, what are you doing standing there?"

Zhu Houzhao's voice came, and the three finally saw Zhu Houzhao urging them at the door of another secret room.

"Here you come, Your Majesty."

The three of them were excited and felt much more friendly when they saw Zhu Houzhao.

"Okay, you guys came just in time. As usual, Tang Bohu, you are responsible for enlarging these maps for me and marking them carefully."

"Wen Zhengming, you and Xu Zhenqing, one person records and the other files it. I said, you record it."

Zhu Houzhao immediately arranged the task without courtesy.

Tang Bohu took a few pieces of paper from Zhu Houzhao's hand and found that they were reduced versions of book-sized maps.

However, the texture of this paper was completely different from the paper he had come into contact with, and the map on it was actually colorful, lifelike, and had all kinds of strange lines.

Where did Your Majesty get this map?
Tang Bohu just had a question, but he didn't dare to ask more. He honestly picked up the brush and laid out the rice paper and started painting.

He also discovered that the Xiaoling Mausoleum was much more spacious than the Imperial Ancestral Temple. In order to paint for him, Zhu Houzhao even built a studio with all kinds of materials.

"Okay, Wen Zhengming, please first sort the papers I have written on the table and put them on the bookshelf by category."

Tang Bohu received the assignment and went to the stone room nearby. Wen Zhengming also received the assignment and looked at the table.

On the table, there are already paper marks written by Zhu Houzhao.

【Emperor of the West】

【Big Events in the West】

【Spain. 】

【America. 】

【U.K. 】

【France. 】

【Russia. 】

【Qing Empire. 】

Wen Zhengming picked up the pieces of paper and saw these marks. Then he turned and looked at the bookshelf. He knew his task and did not dare to neglect it. He picked up the first piece of paper and started to apply rice paste.

"Xu Zhenqing, I said, you come and remember first."

Zhu Houzhao had already sat on a chair nearby and picked up the draft.

Xu Zhenqing had already polished his pen and sat upright.

"I'm starting."

"First of all, let's remember Henry III, the fourth King of England in the Plantagenet Dynasty, similar to the British clan here. His son was William I, who lived around 1258, which should be about years from the Ming Dynasty. British monarchs..."

Zhu Houzhao started to speak, and Xu Zhenqing quickly started writing.

Wen Zhengming was stunned. British monarchs?

Is it possible that His Majesty has another whim, and the American novel is not enough, so he also needs a British journal?

He took a careful look and saw that Zhu Houzhao was in extremely serious condition, so he did not dare to disturb him and could only work honestly.

The original mystery and expectation disappeared in an instant. They thought that Zhu Houzhao asked them to come to Xiaoling because he had a new task for them, but they didn't expect that it was such a simple paperwork and the history of the West?

What exactly does Your Majesty want to do?
He speculated secretly.

"Remember again, Xu Zhenqing takes a rest, and Wen Zhengming comes to write it down!"

"This chapter is an American story."

"It's not that Washington doesn't want to be emperor, but he gathers two parties around him to fight. He wants to reap the benefits. It is suspected that he deliberately set off a fight between Hamilton and Jefferson..."

The imperial mausoleum fell into an orderly working state.

Zhu Houzhao just started talking, and Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing were soon too busy to think about anything.

Because there is too much unfamiliar information, they can only immerse themselves in memorizing it.

At the same time, they also knew that Zhu Houzhao was collecting and classifying files.

This file is all updated information about people like Mei Taizu, Mei Taizong, and Mei Xuanzong whom Zhu Houzhao told them before.

Various other information about the UK, Spain, and France are now also updated simultaneously.

This is Zhu Houzhao's review of what he gained in one night. Because he discovered that although the chat group extracted keywords, some things could not be fully recorded and expressed with just a few words of keywords.

There are also some in-depth things displayed during the chat, and keywords are not very useful.

A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. He has to spend some effort to write these down.

The Jinling Palace is unsafe and too drafty, but here in the Imperial Tomb, it is too safe.

These important information can be perfectly put away, and the risk of leakage is much smaller.

Although he will make these things about the United States public sooner or later, it is obvious that no one will care about these things at the moment. If they are leaked, it will cause a disturbance.

He forgets it.

As for asking him to spend more time transcribing chat records, he was afraid of being tired.

Fortunately, Tang Bohu and the other three tool men were available, so he found them and deliberately trained these three people.

Sure enough, the three cobblers exhausted Zhuge Liang to death.

With the help of the three people, everything Zhu Houzhao wanted was reproduced.

Only two hours have passed, which is much better than the little thing he stayed up late last night to come up with.

"You guys should wait in the waiting room outside for now. Talk and discuss in a low voice so as not to disturb me. You can think carefully about what I mean by asking you to do this."

"Okay, let's go out."

Just throw it away after using it, so Tang Bohu and the three of them naturally didn't dare to complain.

"Yes."

Tang Bohu and the three of them could only leave.

……

"It's much clearer now."

Looking at the information that had been sorted into categories in the secret room, Zhu Houzhao finally showed a satisfied look on his face.

The effect was very good, and he planned to classify them like this every time after chatting.

There is no way, there is too much information, he is only one person, and he needs to face all aspects of the entire West.

He is a human being, not a god, and he still has to find ways to reduce his workload.

This kind of file management is obviously a good idea.

At least he understood, and he also trained Tang Bohu and the three of them.

“Now it’s time to take stock of the three most important things.”

"First, it is the difference between our Ming Dynasty and these Western countries."

"Second, my Ming Dynasty is still far away from the sun setting, so what's the gap?"

"Third, what to do in the next nine days."

After filing the information, Zhu Houzhao did not rest. Instead, he felt that his mind had been sorted out and he could already think about how to use the gains from this chat.

"First of all, it is the gap with the most familiar America..."

"The first one is the speed of intelligence collection. A small lock in Cleveland can collect information about locks all over the world. There must be a huge intelligence collection network behind him. Jin Yiwei's rectification is imperative. Even if it cannot be done We need to let them do it as soon as possible."

"Second, the ability to digest gold. At that time in Cleveland, everyone knew about the gold mines around the world. They obviously had a lot of gold in the United States, but it still caused an economic crisis where they were short of money and could not exchange for gold. With so much gold, they could use it Where? It cannot be used to buy food, and it cannot be misused...or it will cause inflation..."

"Third, industrial power. Industrial power can transform the resources within sight into national power. Can our Ming Dynasty transform the resources within sight into national power? Grain, minerals, and steel can be used to lay railways. There is a lot of iron. To build roads when there is no more to use... This is obviously industrial power, and we don’t have it in Ming Dynasty!”

"Fourth, the strength of the country! They can make countless corrupt officials from both parties lie down on the country to suck blood and eat flesh... Even if they are like this, they can still live for more than a hundred years. How strong are they? ? If my Ming Dynasty is eaten like this... how long can I last? Can I last longer than them? "

"The two-capital-two-cabinet system I want to implement may not be able to eliminate corruption. If we let it go, how long will it last? One year, three years, five years?"

Zhu Houzhao began to clearly understand the gap between Ming Dynasty and the United States, not just with the United States, but also with all countries in the West.

He has seen so many things, although he also wants this and that.

But when he calmed down, he found that there were many things that the Ming Dynasty still couldn't do.

“Things to do in the next nine days!”

"First, deflation allows us to harvest money from banks and store assets that have been reduced in price. This... I have people at my disposal, Liu Jin. Let him do such offending things."

"Second, banknotes, raise the value of treasure banknotes to the sky... use this to harvest the whole country, no... collect half of the wealth in Jiangnan, I am not greedy."

"Third, really determine the candidates for the Jinling Cabinet! Moreover, if you want to choose radical people, if you are conservative...throw them all to the capital to resist the little prince, and see if they choose to be radical or conservative..."

"Fourth, the most important thing... go to Japan to find gold! But... I don't have anyone in my hands. No, there is no need to directly send a large army deep into Japan. You can first send a small force to find out the reality. Navigation experience Rich... Currently there are the Portuguese like Fisher... but they may not be enough, we need the royal guards, plus an upright official... who, right... that Wang Shouren!"

"Didn't he say that he still owes me 2,700 heads? It's just a good idea to give up his merits, and I will slowly pardon his head... Also, once this is done, let him follow Fisher and the others in the future. Go to the West, go to the whole world..."

Zhu Houzhao slowly figured out his ideas in the secret room.

There was no need for him to let Tang Bohu and the others know about these things.

If they were smart enough, he wouldn't mind actually getting them to do something practical.

There is no way, there are too few people available in his hands.

In addition, he also wanted to establish a real imperial party to safeguard his interests and supervise those in the two cabinets of the Ming Dynasty.

……

"What is your Majesty doing?"

In the outer room, Tang Bohu and the three of them shook their sore hands and finally couldn't help but start discussing.

"I feel that His Majesty has to do something big. Xiao Mingzi, I just listened to the story dictated by His Majesty... The economic crises in the United States in 1837 and 1857, do you feel that they are very similar to what is happening in Jinling now? Bank Many people went to exchange gold, but banks eventually closed dozens of them..."

"Countless people have gone bankrupt..."

Xu Zhenqing looked at Tang Bohu solemnly and said: "This incident, Xiaohuzi, do you remember that the night before yesterday, we read the American novel and saw this description. And this time the description is more detailed. "

"remember."

Tang Bohu said more cautiously: "Do you know what the map His Majesty asked me to draw is? A map of the distribution of gold in the world! Your Majesty did not know where the world map came from. The location of the gold mines is clearly marked on it! And this world map, It’s even more detailed than what we painted before, including mountains, rivers and rivers!”

"Tell me, has His Majesty really obtained Taizu...hiss..."

As soon as Tang Bohu said this, he realized that this was the Imperial Tomb of Taizu, and he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

After discovering that there was no abnormality, he said with the two people looking at him in confusion: "Is it possible for Your Majesty to know that these gold veins are real? Because there is a map that clearly shows that... Japan has gold and silver."

As soon as these words came out, Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing held their breath.

"Huh... there is one more thing, Xiaohuzi, Xiaoqingzi. Your Majesty just asked us to copy the British Parliament... the Tories and Whigs, and then said that the Parliament deposed King Edward II. Is Your Majesty worried about... …”

Wen Zhengming also calmed down for a while and carefully stated his findings.

At this time, they finally knew why Zhu Houzhao called them here to copy things.

Because, just by simply recording these things, they could guess Zhu Houzhao's action tendencies.

If these things are known to smarter people outside, it can be foreseen how passive Zhu Houzhao will be.

"call……"

"call……"

"call……"

The three of them did not dare to speak for a while, because they were really afraid that if they continued, they would be silenced by Zhu Houzhao.

In the quiet imperial mausoleum, the three of them could hear each other's breathing.

"This matter..."

"Absolutely keep it secret!"

After a long time, Xu Zhenqing looked at the two people with caution and caution.

"Xiao Qingzi, do you think we would dare to say nonsense? I'm not afraid that we will say it..."

"But..."

Tang Bohu said worriedly: "Huang Tongzheng and the others have already borrowed the American novel that His Majesty asked us to read, and His Majesty even agreed to it. His Majesty's move does not seem like he wants to hide it from everyone."

"Coupled with those golden maps..."

"Is it possible that His Majesty wants everyone to go look for gold together?"

Tang Bohu couldn't help but make random guesses. They knew more, but they didn't know what Zhu Houzhao wanted to do.

Or maybe, I didn’t dare to think about what Zhu Houzhao was going to do.

　Second update, 8,000 words! I need to sort out the plot of Ming Dynasty. After all, I gained so much from this chat!
