Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 674
The discussion was very heated, but all this has nothing to do with Zoffe.There are some things that cannot be accomplished by her own thinking. She has tried her best. Whether it can be accomplished depends on God's will.

Right now, she really wants to see the place where she fought back then. Here, she built infrastructure for the first time. In fact, strictly speaking, this place is the first time she participated in the management of people's livelihood.

The city walls built back then are still strong, but the roads are not as new as before, and there are obvious "patches" in many places.

Zuo Fu calculated the time, from 1645 to the present, this road has been used for 15 years, and now most of the places can still be kept intact, which is very remarkable.It can be seen from this that the local government has put a lot of thought into maintaining this road. You must know that this road does not even meet the standards of a fourth-class road. It is very good that it can last for many years.

And the people here are very good at home.This is patched and will last for years.Of course, if the Qing Dynasty agrees to trade, then this road will have to be repaired.

The savior of the past came again, and the people of Zhenjiang came to Jingkou one after another, and they have been guarding here for many days.On this day, when Zuo Fu came to Jingkou Town again, a group of people lined the road to welcome them, knelt down and shouted: "The great kindness of the Duke, I will never forget it! The Duke is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!!"

Zuo Fu shivered, remembering the fate of the nine thousand year old in history, and hurriedly shouted: "Folks, get up! I can't stand you like this! I don't want to be nine thousand year old!"

These words were humorous, and the common people couldn't hold back any of them, they all laughed with a snort.The scene became very happy for a while, He Quan wiped away his tears, thinking of the frightened self 15 years ago, and remembering that this figure gave him comfort back then, he couldn't help shouting, "The county lord, the county lord, the little old man is He Quan, it is He Quan! You, do you remember us?! Third girl, young master, uncle, hurry up, come here and kowtow to the county magistrate! Without her back then, the third girl and the old slave would have died what!"

Zuo Fu was attracted by these words, and saw an old man with white beard and hair, very sparse, and his forehead looked particularly abrupt in the sun, and at this moment he was bent over, pulling a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy to squeeze forward, she thought about it for a while , then remembered who this person was.

Although this person's face is no longer remembered, this person claimed to be surnamed He. When he went to fight in the past, Chun Ya and others had stayed at this family, so when he called out like this, she remembered it!

She immediately walked towards He Quan, feeling a little excited in her heart.

that old man...

Still alive!

The scene of him yelling crazily in the dark night is still vivid in my mind, and he should have been in his 60s at that time. Fifteen years have passed, and it is a miracle that this old man who has witnessed history is still alive, and now we meet again!

Seeing Zuo Fu walking towards him, He Quan trembled with excitement, he held his young master's hand and was about to kneel down, but he didn't know that Zuo Fu was one step ahead of him, and immediately supported him, saying: "Old man, I'm too old Seventy has been rare since ancient times, you will be eighty this year, right? An 80-year-old birthday star doesn’t have to kneel when he sees His Majesty the Son of Heaven, how can you kneel for me?”

"My lord has the grace to save the lives of the people in Jingkou. If it weren't for you, the old man and the third girl of my family must have suffered. Now the third girl married a good family and gave birth to a young master. It's all thanks to you. !"

The girl from the He family pulled down her curtain, her face was full of tears, she knelt down again and again, "My lord, please accept the little girl's bow!"

The biological mother passed away early, and the catastrophe was imminent, so she was left to look after the house.It is said to be a housekeeper, but it is actually abandoned.If it wasn't for Zuo Fu, she would not know how she would have been abused.If it wasn't for Zuo Fu, she would not know that there is a kind of hope in this world called persistence, as long as there is persistence in the heart, she can become strong.

So, from then on, she changed her timidity and planned everything for herself. Finally, she found a good husband. Although he was just a merchant and not worthy of her status as an official daughter, she was very satisfied.

Her mother-in-law took pity on her, her husband loved her, and her mother's family allowed her to go with He Quan, and the days went by, the better, so the first half of her life was full of hardships, but the second half of her life was as sweet as honey.And all of this was given to her by Zuofu.

Without Zuofu, Daming would be gone.Daming is gone, so is she. Zuo Fu gave her a chance to live, gave her courage, and gave her wisdom.She tried to get every newspaper, and then read it over and over again. Her mother-in-law likes her so much because she has brought wealth to her husband’s family. As Zuofu wrote in the newspaper, if you are not strong yourself, the people who are attached to you Stuff only rots you, not keeps you strong.

Facing her savior and life mentor, the third girl of the He family couldn't help being excited. She thanked her again and again, "My lord not only saved the people in Jingkou, but also Sanniang. If you didn't invent the newspaper, Sanniang wouldn't know The world is so vast, women can also make a career!"

"Oh?"

Zuo Fu became interested, "It seems that you are now a woman who can stand on her own?"

She helped him up, looked him up and down, then laughed, and said, "Although I don't know what happened to you, you have confidence in your eyes, very good! Being a woman is not easy to survive in this world. If you don’t believe in yourself, then you will have a bad life.”

As she spoke, she patted the third girl, "I've been in Jingkou for the past few days, come and talk to me when I have time, tell me your story."

The third girl was really flattered to be invited by Zuofu in public, while her in-laws straightened up unconsciously.

San Niang is completely proud of it!She was an official woman who married into their small merchant family, not only did she not put on airs as an official lady, but she was always thinking of the family.She sent people to collect the books published by Zuo Fu, devoted herself to research, and after more than ten years of marriage, she suddenly turned their small merchant family into a big merchant.

Now their family is living such a prosperous life, more than half of them are supported by San Niang.She has every reason to be proud and say "no" to her damn mother's family!
He Sanniang was very excited. The person she admired invited her to talk and even gave her a name card. This is considered a formal invitation!

Zuo Fu smiled and bid farewell to Miss He's family, and said to He Quan: "Old man, take care of yourself, good days are yet to come!"

He Quan said with tears in his eyes: "Yes! Lord! The old man must work hard to live, and live until the day you succeed in the Northern Expedition before dying!"

Zuo Fu laughed loudly, "The Northern Expedition is successful and you are still alive, everyone should live well and live a long life!"

The elders are not surprised by Zuo Fu's affinity, because she used to be like this, and she even showed them how to use tools.But the younger generation is very surprised, is the dignified prince and grand master, Lord Zhen Guo so easy-going?It's not at all the same as the rumored arrogance and domineering!

In the next two days, Zuo Fu looked around Jingkou, seeing that the place where he fought in the past is now full of vitality, he was very happy.

However, this kind of leisure time is also limited, and soon the Qing court came again.They agreed to trade, but they did not agree to the unconditional crossing of the Han people.Regarding this point, Zuo Fuke is not so easy to talk about. In a word, the bottom line of our Daming is here. Whether you want to give Yangzhou or trade, you can decide for yourself!

None of the conditions put forward could be changed. If she didn't want to, she would return to Beijing and return to her order.

Now Fulin is in a hurry. In his opinion, as long as he doesn't cede the land and pay compensation, other things are trivial, and the Qing Dynasty also needs food to appease those untouchables, doesn't it?
There was a huge quarrel with the ministers, and it was useless for Xiaozhuang to come forward, so he finally had to agree to this seemingly extremely unreasonable trade treaty.

No way, Fulin threatened them with suicide. It doesn't matter if Fulin is dead, but if they want to bear the reputation of killing Junfu, they will really be infamous for thousands of years.

Anyway, it was Fulin who committed suicide, and in the end Daqingzhen died because of this. The blame is also on Fulin's shoulders. It has nothing to do with them, so let him do whatever he wants!
After the treaty was signed, Fulin was in a good mood and couldn't wait to send Dong E's family to Jingkou. Even though Daming only allowed him to bring one hundred guards and one hundred servants, he didn't make a fuss.In his opinion, Daming wanted face, and since the treaty was signed, he would not be imprisoned and assassinated.Moreover, their purpose is to do business, not to start a war, isn't it?
He thinks quite clearly, because Daming really doesn't have the idea of ​​starting a war at the moment. The main country has been changing in the past few years, and many weapons are facing replacement problems, so they don't want to fight either.In the minds of the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, it was either not to do it, or to do it in one step. Once the Northern Expedition, only success is not allowed to fail!

Zuo Fu didn't want to fight either, because the people were suffering too much. Even though they had cultivated their lives for more than ten years, their foundation was still very weak.If you can't get a quick fix, then be patient for a while.Be patient until the leftist army has enough firearms, and when the firepower is strong enough, you can cross the river!
After Fulin crossed the river, he was shocked by everything in Jingkou!
This is Daming? !

How prosperous is this small place?This kind of road is the legendary cement road, right?It's amazing!And those irons are the kind of sun lights that glow at night, right?
Bicycles, tricycles, four-wheeled carriages, all kinds of new things dazzled Fulin, even Xiaozhuang, who had always been prudent, was shocked to see all these.

In this small place, the faces of the people also look very good, which shows that they have enough food, not only can they eat enough, but also eat well.The clothes on his body are all clean, and they haven't been patched, which makes him look very refreshing.

Although there were soldiers under martial law along the way, they still saw some scenes of the market through the crowd.Not to mention the shops on the side of the road, there are also many small food shops, small vendors come and go, and many children still have money to buy candied haws and small clay figurines.

What surprised them even more was that these ordinary people still had spare money to go out for snacks.Small wontons, tea eggs, etc. are not expensive, but how can ordinary people in the Qing Dynasty have spare money to eat snacks?
The wealth of Daming is far beyond their imagination!

Fulin's expression was complicated. He heard that Daming became richer every day after opening the sea, and he wanted to open the sea too, but the Daming Navy was extremely domineering. Their ships could not reach Japan at all, and they would be beaten if they went out.

Except for Japan, there is no way to go to other places. The coastal area is blocked by Ming Dynasty, and they are not capable of building large ships to go further afield.

Thinking of this, Fulin felt sorry for him.What's the use of occupying the Forbidden City of Ming Dynasty?As long as they can't cross the Yangtze River, it's just a dream for them to make a fortune!There are not many good places they occupy, and Yangzhou is a little bit better. The rest are bitter cold and barren land. Not only can they not get anything, but they have to pay a lot of subsidies every year. It's the Qing Dynasty, but it's no different from a small garbage country.

Thinking of this, Fulin sighed silently, and thought to himself: "Maybe opening up business is also a good thing. The hostility will not be so serious if you keep in touch with each other. Maybe one day the Qing Dynasty will be merged, and they, the Manchus, will still have a way to survive." .”

Everyone didn't know what was going on in Fulin's mind, otherwise they would have been struck to death by him.Although Fulin has a violent temper and a tough mouth, in fact, he also knows very well in his heart that the Qing Dynasty can't beat the current Daming at all.

The attack many years ago was perfectly designed, but it still failed.Now that the generals who can fight are exhausted, what else do they have to fight against Da Ming?Moreover, many years have passed, who knows what kind of firearms Daming has developed now.

According to the information sent by Tang Ruowang, even the Spaniards with excellent firearms are no match for the Ming people, and the Ming navy is a force that cannot be ignored in the ocean.And Tang Ruowang himself was reprimanded by the church for passing information to Daqing, which shows the influence of Daming in Europa and the church.

and so……

Perhaps it is the best way out if they can be merged without fighting?Although Zuofuna is ruthless, he is not a murderer. Only when everyone expresses their feelings can Manchu survive.

Thinking of this, Fulin let out a sigh, but then thought that Dong E's family was saved, and the sorrow in his heart dissipated again.It doesn't matter if you don't become emperor, as long as Yalan is alive.

After settling down, Zoff came.

Dong E never thought that she would meet Zuo Fu on this day.Looking at the tall woman with a prominent belly in front of her, she felt like she was dreaming.

Is this the Zuo Fu who can fight wars when he is on a horse, rule the world when he is off a horse, and write countless beautiful articles?It is really a strange person with a strange appearance, just by looking at this figure and appearance, one can tell that he is not an ordinary person.

Zuo Fu brought a form and asked Dong E to tick it off. Fulin was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "Sir, what kind of disease does Yalan have?"

Zuo Fu glanced at Fulin, and said: "Your imperial doctor of the Qing Dynasty should have told you too, right? The imperial concubine is weak because of depression in her heart. In other words, she must have a heart disease."

Fulin was in a hurry, "That's what I said, but how can I cure it? Heart disease needs heart medicine. This is too mysterious. How can Yalan get better?"

"Ugh!"

Zuo Fu sighed softly, and said: "I suspect that her heart disease is serious and has developed into depression, so in addition to psychological counseling, she also needs to take medicine... Please be quiet, this form is to test her to the end. Is it depression..."
