different devil life

But Wang Zhong's next sentence made her feel relieved.

"I heard that this Xianyuan building is managed so well by you."

"Minnv dare not take credit for it. Most of the Xianyuan Building is managed by my father. Minnv just provides some small suggestions." Zheng Shishi said.

"But it is precisely because of your opinions that the business here is better. I think you are very business-minded and can be used by me. If you do well, I will definitely reward you and even give you an official title." said again.

Like now Zheng Shishi does business, earning only money.

But if he worked for Wang Zhong, he would not only have money, but also status and rights.

"Ministers are stupid and don't understand the emperor's intentions."

Wang Zhong explained: "I have set up a foreign affairs department, which is responsible for trade matters. Now I am looking for talents who can do business and deal with people. I think you are good, so I came to you."

"Let me run the foreign affairs department."

Rao Zheng Shishi is very smart, and she is a little bit unable to turn the corner at the moment.

"Of course, if you want to manage the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you have to pass my test. Now I'm going to test you. You and your caravan pass through an island and find that the people on the island have no clothes on. What will you do?"

"Uh…………"

Zheng Shishi thought for a while and said: "Since I am a caravan, there must be goods on board, but the other party has no clothes. I will consider trading clothes with them in exchange for food, raw materials and other materials."

"Yes, Not Bad."

Wang Zhong nodded in satisfaction, this is the standard answer, I am sure I saw the right person.

"I will test you again. If you do well, I will reward you with a box of gold. What are you going to do with this box of gold?" Wang Zhong asked.

"Folk girls don't understand very well, but they just think that if there is gold, it's better to buy some places and start a small business..."

Wang Zhong laughed again, this answer is very satisfactory.

Some people have a lot of money and think of having fun, while Zheng Shishi thinks of doing business, she really has an unusual brain.

"I'm asking you now, are you willing to serve me!" Wang Zhong said.

Speaking of now, the father and daughter also knew that Wang Zhong didn't come here to take a concubine or something, but to ask Zheng Shishi to be an official.

Zheng Shishi was worried for a while: "Your Majesty, there has never been a woman serving as an official in the court. I am worried that I will not do well."

"Don't worry, just let go and do it."

"This……"

Although what Wang Zhong said was very good, Zheng Shishi still had great concerns.

After all, if it is not done well, if it causes big trouble, it will be beheaded.

Of course, there are also advantages, that is, their Zheng family is no longer limited to this small place, and can have greater development in the future, and even rise steadily.

Seemingly seeing Zheng Shishi's concerns, Wang Zhong said: "You don't have to worry about what will happen if you do something wrong, I can promise you, as long as you don't mess around, you will be wrong if you do something wrong, just learn from it."

"Okay, that's it."

Before Zheng Shishi agreed, Wang Zhong said.

Zheng Shishi suddenly raised her head: "Your Majesty, before that, I have a merciless request!"

"Oh? What conditions do you have?" Wang Zhong teased and laughed.

"The reason why Minnv and her father are here is because they were persecuted by men in their hometown, and Minnv's mother was beaten to death by those people."

"Tell me in detail."

"Yes!"

Zheng Shishi took a deep breath, she knew this was her only chance for revenge.

Then, she began to tell.

It turned out that the reason why she and her father lived here was because they offended a county magistrate in their hometown when they were young.

Later, during the conflict, her mother was beaten to death. In order to avoid being pursued, Zheng Jiazuo fled here overnight with Zheng Shishi.

Over the years, Zheng Shishi has never forgotten the scene when her mother was beaten to death that day. She wanted to avenge her mother even in her dreams.

But she knew it was difficult to do so.

The other party was an official of the imperial court, even if it was just a small official with sesame mung beans, it was not something he could deal with as a restaurant owner.

Don't look at the group of diners downstairs being polite to her, but that's just for you to save face. If you really want something from them, maybe they will make some unreasonable demands.

"Unexpectedly, the county magistrate in your hometown is not a big official, but he is quite courageous, blatantly doing bad things."

Hearing Zheng Shishi's words, Wang Zhong was furious!

Sometimes low-level low-level officials do evil, but it is more abhorrent than high-ranking officials' corruption!

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for the daughter of the people, so as to comfort my mother's spirit in heaven." Zheng Shishi pleaded again: "As long as the emperor agrees to the request of the daughter of the people, the daughter of the people will be willing to serve the emperor even if she is an ox or a horse."

"Hmph, are you negotiating terms with me?" Wang Zhong snorted coldly.

"The people don't dare."

"Forget it, in fact, even if you don't mention this condition, I will also eradicate those stupid officials."

Zheng Shishi looked up in disbelief.

"You are all my people, how could I allow those stupid officials to bully you? So don't worry, I will send someone over in a few days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Okay, you can clean up tomorrow and follow me into the palace."

"According to the order!"

From this day on, Zheng Shishi can be regarded as the temporary minister of foreign affairs, in charge of foreign affairs and trade.

After entering Beijing, Wang Zhong arranged for someone to teach Zheng Shishi about the situation of some nearby big countries.

On the other hand, Zheng Shishi's hometown also arranged for imperial envoys to come and seal up the family of the local county grandpa. The county magistrate and several lords were escorted to the capital for punishment after hearing about it.

After knowing the news, Zheng Shishi finally felt relieved and concentrated on studying trade.

When they knew that the fleet was going to sea, Wang Zhong and Zheng Shishi proposed to invite people from overseas countries to establish embassies here to facilitate communication between the two countries.

After listening to Wang Zhong's suggestion, Zheng Shishi was stunned.

She knew that the emperor had changed now and was not as ignorant of government affairs as before, but she never expected that the emperor was still so smart that he could think of a way to establish an embassy.

Zheng Shishi felt that she was really stupid. So far, many major decisions of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were suggested by Wang Zhong. This shows that strictly speaking, the emperor is more suitable for the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

It's just that the emperor is too busy on weekdays, so he let her do it.

"I must study hard and strive to catch up with the emperor's footsteps."

Zheng Shishi secretly felt ruthless in her heart.

Half a year later, after several major reforms, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs successfully opened up a sales outlet for tea and porcelain.

And from overseas, a steady stream of food has also begun to be shipped in.

These grains were all stored by Wang Zhong in warehouses in various important towns, and sold at the end of this year during the winter.

The reason to prepare in advance is because this year is very important.

According to the mission information, this year I may have a big trouble, there will be rebels everywhere, and I will be burned alive in the end.

The food is ready, and the distribution of land among the people around the capital is similar. Wang Zhongwei went to several places privately, and asked some people in private. In many places, everyone has their own land, and people are smiling. They are all happy to go to a well-off life.

According to Wang Zhong's estimation, even if there will be troubles at the end of this year, at least the surrounding area of ​​the capital will be safe.

In terms of weapons, progress is not so fast.

The main reason is that the progress of the firearms manufacturing factories is not fast, so the production of muskets has always remained at the stage of small workshops and cannot be mass-produced on a large scale.

Therefore, only four hundred muskets have been produced so far.

Wang Zhong personally trained this group of musketeers. These people don't need to be very strong, but they must run fast, have good eyesight, and nimble fingers.

This is a necessary condition for a qualified musketeer soldier.

Except for some people trusted by Wang Zhong, the four hundred musketeers didn't know about Wang Zhong's amazing army at all.

In this year, Queen Zhao Luan finally had a child.

The queen is happy!

When the news came out, everyone in the palace was as happy as Chinese New Year.

It's just that Wang Zhong wasn't dazzled by this joy, it has been raining recently.

You must know that it has been planted for several days. If this continues, the farmers' harvest may not be very good this year.

"We have to hurry up and get ready."

Wang Zhong looked up at the sky. At this time, the rain was getting heavier.

"Your Majesty, it's getting so late, why don't you rest?"

Zhao Luan asked from the side.

"Hey, why doesn't it stop raining?"

Wang Zhong sighed: "If this goes on like this, I'm afraid there will be a flood."

Zhao Luan naturally knew how much the flood would affect agriculture, and he became worried for a while.

In the past two years, the people of the Great Yan Dynasty had not been doing very well, but they did not expect that there would be floods this year. As a result, there must be insufficient food at the end of the year.

"Your Majesty, we have already established trade links with overseas countries. As long as we have commodities, we will continue to transport food in." Zhao Luan said comfortingly.

"Having said that, there are too few ships in our country to transport food on a large scale. What's more, there are too many people who have rebels in some remote areas. If I agree to an uprising, I am not afraid, but I am also a little worried."

Chapter 644 Building a Huge House

Hearing Wang Zhong's words, Zhao Luan also sighed, worried in his heart, but he still comforted Wang Zhong: "Your Majesty, as long as we implement the existing policies and continue to implement them, even if there are rebels everywhere, we still have the ability to eliminate enemy."

"What the queen said is that with the capital as my base camp, as long as there is no chaos here, everything will be fine."

Figured this out, Wang Zhong smiled, but at this moment, there was a sudden 'bang' outside, and there was a loud noise.

"It's not good, it's not good..."

The eunuchs and maids shouted at the top of their voices outside.

Wang Zhong quickly got up: "Luan'er, you are pregnant and don't move around, I will go out and have a look first."

"Your Majesty, be careful..."

Wang Zhong rushed out, only to see a little eunuch knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, it's not good."

"what's up?"

"Garment factory...there is a house over the garment factory that collapsed under the rain."

"Go and have a look."

The crumbling house was not newly built, but several decades old.

After inspection, the house collapsed because the foundation had been soaked by rain water for too long, which caused the foundation to become loose.

Sadly, there were two concubines inside, and several court ladies were crushed to death.

"Hey, let's bury them honorably."

Looking at the corpse, Wang Zhong shook his head and sighed softly.

Even the houses in the palace cannot withstand such a large amount of rain, and the people outside may suffer even more.

........................

Three days later, sure enough, as Wang Zhong guessed, there were more and more floods in various places.

Calculated, the number of victims this time is more than in previous winters, and the distribution is wider. The bandits who were suppressed before reappeared in various places.

Now many provinces have sent urgent letters, asking the emperor to send money for disaster relief.

Looking at the countless memorials requesting disaster relief on the table, Wang Zhong fell to the ground angrily.

"I want money, I want money, I want money, if I can do these things well, what do you need?"
