Chapter 458 The spring ice sows the autumn fire and returns, which is called flying geese
Qi Jiguang never blamed Duntai Yuanhou for handing over the Wo Ma Jin and causing such trouble. This was indeed an accident, but the Ming Dynasty repeated the trick After that, Mobei will be extensively investigated. The hinterland of the Ming Dynasty has never been to the grassland. The imagination of Mobei seems to be far away, but in fact Mobei is much closer than scholars imagine, and it is only 400 miles away from Yinshan Mountain. The Chidao from the capital to Shanhaiguan is only 660 miles.
Duntai Yuanhou only needs to conduct a detailed investigation of the Mobei Wala tribes. In the long-term investigation of open-pit mines like Womagang, he will definitely find that accident will become inevitable after multiple investigations. Just like the Tao Tu Mountain in Daningwei, when the imperial court needed white soil, after sorting out the messy information from the distant princes, they immediately found it.
Gold, silver, copper, iron and coal, the mines needed by the Ming Dynasty, are all found in Mobei.
For Qi Jiguang, the main difficulty in making this plan is not the strength of the enemy.
Powerful? A wolf on the prairie learns to wag its tail and beg for mercy after being fed for just two days.
The Mobei Oara people are actually very weak. From the information of Duntai Yuanhou, we can see that most of these Oara people entrenched in Helin live together in tribes of more than ten people.
During the Zhengtong years, when the Oara people were still strong, they could go to the Monan area to graze their cattle. There were several lakes that served as their summer camps and summer grazing places.
As Ye Xian died in internal strife, his head was sent to the Ming Dynasty to receive the reward. After Ye Xian's two sons went to the west, He Lin's Wala strength was not as good as before, and Anda Khan occupied All the Xiapan camps turned the Wala people in Helin into a complete mess.
Since the internal strife in the Jingtai period, the Wara people have gradually evolved into four tribes, the Junggar tribe, the Duerbot tribe, the Heshuote tribe, the Turgut tribe, and two small tribes, attached to Du. Albert's Huite tribe and Brigadier tribe, as well as a bunch of Tuma, Huoli and other tribes with less than a hundred people.
The four major tribes have all completed their westward march during the Chenghua period. Only the Bligati tribe is still nomadic near Helin. Bligati means "people in the forest". Of course, the Tatars in Monan are all The Wala people are collectively called "horse slaves".
The ones who are preparing to move westward are the Buriyat tribe. Their nomadic range is probably near the North Sea. The reason why the Buriyat tribe is moving westward is also the oppression of the seven tribes of Outer Khalkha. The leader of the seven tribes of Khalkha is Abadai Khan.
The enemy is not strong, even very weak.
The resistance mainly comes from the court.
The Ming Dynasty's "actuarial" style has spread from Renzong to the early Wanli years. During the Jiajing period, anyone who reinstated and restored the rule of Daningwei would be beaten and killed. It was a topic that could not be touched. , Tan Lun took a huge risk by repeating his words during the Longqing period, but Tan Lun has been working hard to repeat himself.
During the Futao War from the 25th to the 27th year of Jiajing, Xia Yan, the first assistant, and Zeng Xian, the left minister of the Ministry of War of the third governor of Shaanxi Province, were beheaded in the court. , the issue of duplication has become a forbidden area.
Based on the current political environment of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang began to write. He formulated a small-step plan. Based on the mines and official factories, he continued to develop on a small scale, starting from mining - prospecting for seedlings - repairing Road - mining, such repeated development is undoubtedly a better way.
The reason why this can be done is entirely because the craftsmen made by the government and factory groups are extremely good warriors when they pick up weapons. Even the four major Oara tribes who are marching west plan to return to their ancestral land and return to peace. Lin, Ming's troops in Yinshan can also rush to help at any time.
This is a very cunning method, but it is widely accepted by the Ming Dynasty. After all, the Ming Dynasty only wants gold, silver, copper, iron and coal.
"Your Majesty's letter." Luoshan walked into the Chinese army tent and handed a sealed letter box to Qi Jiguang.
During the Wanli period, there was a very significant change. The Ming Emperor always wrote letters to Qi Jiguang with Zhu Zhongxing's monogram, one letter a month, and never interrupted. This meant that the frontline commander could communicate with the Ming Emperor without any obstacles. communicate.
This was a treatment that would have been unthinkable before Wanli.
This means that some bitches cannot be the ones to stir up dissension.
The main content of the letter is that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty ridiculed the renegades of the humble Confucians, treating what he said as farts, and when he heard that Jinshan was flocking to him, he was greedy, angry, foolish, suspicious, slow, and had all the five poisons, and his greedy face was extremely ugly. It also said that Wang Chonggu became an official and was retained by Zhang Juzheng, the 20,000 strong soldiers left behind in the Beijing camp continued to drill every day, King Lu was violently beaten by Xiong Tingbi, the trading house in the capital expanded, the Ming Dynasty issued special national bonds to develop mines, and the queen gave birth to a daughter. Mother and daughter are safe, etc., these are all matters in the capital.
It is worth noting that Zhu Zhongxing solemnly reminded Qi Jiguang to beware of the Jin Party.
This is a reminder that I have never had before. The reason for the reminder is very clear. The mines that have been discovered one after another and these profit-seeking Jin people may cause some trouble. Qi Jiguang is in the Hetao. What will the Jin people do? Easier.
For example, assassination.
Qi Jiguang looked at the continuous line of 50,000 sharp soldiers outside the Chinese army's tent, then at Liao Shan, who was in charge of intelligence next to him, and then at the second officer who was given to him by His Majesty as the Marquis of Qian'an. Bai Tielin Jun, then look at the three extravagant officers (eunuchs who taste poison) given to him by the emperor, then look at the three great medical officers and six imperial doctors specially equipped by the emperor for his campaign, and then look at the fact that he himself does not wear any Armor, a body that is stronger than most people wearing armor.
"It is a little difficult for the Jin people to deal with me." Qi Jiguang said.
He has always expected to be lenient to the enemy and consider defeat before victory, but the generals of the Ming Dynasty never received him this kind of treatment during their campaigns.
"The Jin people want to deal with you?" Liang Menglong came in from outside and said in great surprise when he heard Qi Jiguang talking to Chen Dacheng like this.
Qi Jiguang smiled and said: "Your Majesty thinks I am very dangerous."
"Very dangerous?" Liang Menglong was stunned for a moment and said: "Isn't the most dangerous one Qi Shuai? Especially Qi who went out of the country. "Handsome."
Qi Jiguang killed more than a dozen merchants with the army in Jininghaizi who were driving up prices. This was because Qi Jiguang's sword was pointed inward. Qi Jiguang was never gentle when he was out of the way. His sword would be aimed at all enemies. , after entering the pass, he will lie dormant and look like he is easy to bully.
Liang Menglong understands this change deeply.
"Since Anda Khan built the city and promoted it, life has become increasingly luxurious. In the Hetao areas, the livelihood of the Han captives has been completely exploited. They are in deep misery and cannot survive. People often escape back to the pass." Liang Menglong sat down. After drinking water, he talked about the situation in the entire Hetao area.
Anda Khan's exploitation of the Hetao area was extremely cruel. During the Jiajing period, the entire Suiyuan Province had about 400,000 people. After Anda Khan built the city and was promoted, it gradually increased to more than 500,000. In the last years of Jiajing, it began to decline. By the ninth year of Wanli, there were less than 300,000 people in Suiyuan.
Jineng and Chejintaiji ran away directly and changed their surnames to Han, simply because the situation in the Hetao had deteriorated to the point where they could not handle it.
The people who were originally annexed and unable to live outside the Great Wall found that hell was beyond the Great Wall after escaping, so they had no choice but to escape back again.
There is no administrative division now. The main reason is the state of military control. The period of bandit suppression this year is also divided according to folk customs.
The main contradiction in the Hetao area now is the contradiction of survival.
Liang Menglong said worriedly: "The existing cultivated land in the Hetao area is about 100,000 hectares, and all of it is barren. The reason for the barrenness is flood irrigation, but the water removes salt and leaves behind, and the land is saline-alkali. , the people are in great poverty, the yield per mu is less than 100 kilograms, and the annual rainfall is less than eight inches. Moreover, the seeds can only be sown after the Waking of Insects, and they are harvested only once a year. In other words, beans must be planted and raised every year, but the bean seedlings cannot tolerate it. It is saline and alkali, so it is mostly abandoned and barren. "
"It is said that the Yellow River is full of dangers, but it is only rich. This is true, but wealth is only a relatively poor output of the grassland."
Liang Menglong's expression was full of mixed feelings. He had personally visited various places in the past few days, and even felt that there was merit in the government's calculation of wind and public opinion. This Loop was indeed difficult to manage.
“This is not the most difficult.” Liang Menglong continued: “The biggest problem is soil erosion. Why is there so much sediment in the Yellow River? The gullies on the high loess slopes are the reason. The water in the Yellow River is salty. , for the same reason, firewood, rice, oil and salt are the most important thing. People living in Hetao have been cutting down trees for fuel for generations. The trees are cut down and the grass cannot survive. When it rains, the land becomes more and more barren. "
< br>"But even with such a barren land, the people still worked hard to cultivate it. In the second year of Tianshun, Yu Zijun, the governor of Yansuidu, proposed the construction of Yulin Town. In the ninth year of Chenghua, the guards of Hetao withdrew to Yulin, and all the troops returned to Beilu. Well, the people from Yulin plant the spring ice and the autumn fire returns, which is called flying geese. "
When the ice and snow have not yet melted in the spring, the people living in the pass will go out to cultivate the land, and wait until the autumn harvest to burn the straw. , and then return to the pass. This happens every year, and they are all geese. They have been migrating like this for a hundred years.
Land degradation, climate change and human activities on the loess high slopes have caused arid and semi-arid land degradation.
"It is indeed difficult." Qi Jiguang said with certainty after hearing Liang Menglong's complaint. It is indeed difficult.
Liang Menglong's expression changed from depressed to excited. He said with bright eyes: "There are so many things. This year, we need to plant grass, open coal mines, and build official roads." Once the post roads are built, only by cultivating pasture can we lock the land and prevent it from continuing to be lost. When the coal mines are opened, people will not continue to cut trees to get wages. Only by building the official post roads can we have access to all directions. "
"The roads in Hetao are actually very easy to build. From Guihua City to the west, there are plains. Although the high loess slopes east of Dongshengwei are a bit difficult, they are much simpler than Juyongguan."
Liang Menglong Ye He has formulated his own development plan for the Loop. Is it difficult or not? If there are no difficulties, there will be no opportunities. He is now the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but the official in charge of the Ministry of Personnel has always been Zhang Juzheng. To become a real Ming Gong, governing the Loop is an opportunity.
For example, forage, Liang Menglong found a very suitable grass species from the emperor's Baoqisi, called ice grass, which lives near the Luo Jing Zheng Peak in the southernmost part of Africa. The Luo Jing Zheng Peak was also the original Zheng Zheng It is the farthest place on the voyage to the West. Because passing there, the compass is facing south and north, so it is named. Just take a step further and you can see the violent Atlantic Ocean.
Liang Menglong is still very confident that this kind of ice grass, with its drought-tolerant, cold-tolerant and drought-tolerant characteristics, coupled with corn grass, green orchid grass, yellow bamboo grass and other pasture grasses, can solve some people's living problems. of.
For example, using rivers to divert irrigation means opening canals to divert irrigation from tributaries of the Yellow River to expand the scale of cultivation. Eight major rivers, including Yongji, Gangmu, Zhonghe, Yonghe, Tongji, Changsheng, Tabu and Yihe, etc. The main canal is the most suitable irrigation canal that Dr. Gewu found after triangulation mapping. It prevents the land from continuing to be saline-alkaline and is also the key to preventing land degradation.
Liang Menglong and Qi Jiguang communicated for a long time. Some things require the cooperation of the army, especially the damn horse bandits. These guys who took the opportunity to rob should be arrested and built roads until Qi Jiguang agreed to suppress the bandits. , Liang Menglong left with satisfaction.
If you combine the timing of the sky, the earth's veins, and the nature of things, your power will be enough to defeat the sky. This is the sacred precept inscribed by His Majesty himself on the wall of Baoqisi.
That afternoon, the Ming Dynasty’s capital camp began to disperse from Wuyuan Mansion in battalion units. It was more like a ruin than a palace. Qi Jiguang sat quietly in the big tent and looked at the Ming Dynasty. The Beijing camp dispersed to suppress the bandits. He sat like this for more than half a day, until the sun set in the west. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the Yin Mountain, sweeping over the ancient land, sweeping over the attacking Beijing camp, and sweeping over On the people kneeling on both sides of the road.
The people were afraid of the neat appearance of the Ming army, so they knelt down immediately when they saw it. They were afraid that if they took one more look, they would be killed on the roadside. This fearful habit is obviously the result of my answer. It was left behind when Khan's army passed through. But soon the people will understand that this army is completely different from other armies. Reporting to the emperor and coming down to rescue the head of Guizhou has never been a slogan, but a reality.
Qi Jiguang finally showed a smile, said a few words to Chen Dacheng, and went to rest peacefully. Even if Jin people really wanted to kill him at this moment, he would die without regrets.
In his life, he quelled the Japanese invaders and conquered the northern captives. The sea waves gradually calmed down and the captive plagues gradually stopped.
After he dies, there are still Li Rusong, Ma Gui, Chen Dacheng, Yang Wen, Wang Rulong, Ma Lin, etc. who can lead the Jingying camp to guard the Hetao without affecting the overall situation.
Qi Jiguang can completely understand His Majesty's deep-seated distrust and fear of the Jin people.
The late emperor made great achievements, and His Majesty ascended the throne at a young age. Gao Gong was the chief minister of the cabinet, Wang Chonggu was the military governor of the Beijing camp, Wang Guoguang was the secretary of the household department, Ge Shouli was the general constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Yang Bo was the official secretary. , Tan Lun is the Minister of the Ministry of War, Gao Gong wants to knock out the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and completely pull out the emperor's minions. Wang Chonggu wants his dog to go to the capital camp to eat the imperial food. Zhang Siwei is rebellious and assassinates the king and burns the palace with fire. The cruel palace. The struggle has made His Majesty always have an attitude of suspicion and fear towards the Jin people, which is a good thing.
This is also a kind of leniency for the enemy. In fact, the Jin Party is not that bold at all now. Apart from anything else, the Jin Party has no means to attack the 20,000 elite soldiers of the capital camp who are currently staying in the capital. contend.
After Qi Jiguang woke up, he replied a letter to His Majesty, and then ordered Wang Rulong to take a battalion to Womagang to protect Dr. Gewu and conduct a comprehensive mapping of the entire Womagang mineral deposit.
On July 17, the ninth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun received a reply from Qi Jiguang, which mainly reported the situation on the front line and that the Ming Dynasty’s capital camp would be stationed for one year to eliminate banditry. Qi Jiguang briefly stated about The Mobei grassland development plan is a step-by-step plan.
Zhu Yijun gave the letter to Zhang Hong and asked Zhang Hong to pour it with rosin. These are the things he will take to the tomb in the future.
"What's going on with Guojiao? From July last year to July this year, the total profit was 1.24 million silver?" Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao and asked about Guojiao's business. It's not that it's less, but It's too much.
The small business of Guojiao actually exceeds the amount of gold and silver used by the state to support the palace every year. The Imperial Palace is not just a business of Guojiao.
Feng Bao hurriedly said: "Thanks to the return of the land, Huangzhuang has more than 70,000 hectares of land, all of which are planted with sweet potatoes. Only when there is food can we make wine. A bottle of this national cellar is priced at four silver, and it costs four silver a year. We only sold 470,000 bottles, which is not too much. Your Majesty, this is because we have to supply the navy, so we can’t make more profits. Supplying the navy is the big deal.”
One bottle only. One kilogram, while Ming Dynasty’s liquor only sold for four coins per kilogram. The price of Guojiao was 160 times that of ordinary liquor. According to four kilograms of dry food and one kilogram of Guojiao, it was only 15,000 shi of grain.
“Can this thing be sold at such an expensive price?” Zhu Yijun frowned. When Feng Bao set the price, Zhu Yijun just took a brief look at it. How could this thing be sold at such an expensive price? It's so popular that it's unexpected.
Feng Bao whispered: "The supply exceeds the demand, and the money is made by the second dealer. Every time they buy a bottle of Guojiao from Huangzhuang, they can make half a tael of silver when they resell it. Your Majesty will not allow it to be sold openly. Priority is given to supplying Shui Shi.”
From the perspective of use value, Guojiao is naturally not worth the price, but it still has exchange value, which supports the price. Liquor is inherently profitable, otherwise it would not be available in the Song Dynasty. Franchised.
"I know." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment. It is not unusual for Huangzhuang to focus on a high-end brand and be widely recognized.
Zhu Yijun held a memorial in his hand and asked, "Have the Great Situ and Young Situ arrived?"
"Waiting in the West Flower Hall." Zhu Yijun took the memorial in his hand, I came to the West Flower Hall and met Wang Guoguang and Zhang Xueyan.
"No need to be polite, Da Situ said that profits tax will be collected. Let's talk about it in detail." Zhu Yijun sat down. He summoned the kingdom just to discuss the profits tax.
This is the waste that is at the top of the list of solutions to silver waste.
What is the logic of profits tax?
Da Ming Zheshe households have enjoyed the convenience of the overall environment of Ming Dynasty, with abundant and sufficient labor force, complete industrial chain, relaxed business environment, and vital safety. The seven-star flag of Ming Dynasty is on the sea. Within the Strait of Malacca, it is more effective than artillery. These conveniences are conducive to the acquisition of silver, asset growth and interest earning.
After enjoying the convenience, he exchanged all his assets for the general equivalent of silver, decisively went to sea, took away the hard-earned money of the people of the Ming Dynasty, while avoiding the taxes of the Ming Dynasty, and even turned the gun. This silver was used to support fugitives, Japanese pirates, and red-haired bandits, plunder merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty, and even directly attack the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty.
This is not Wang Guoguang’s alarmist talk. The Japanese plague that plagued the southeast during the Jiajing period is a bloody example.
To put it more bluntly, it means putting down the bowl and smashing the pot.
Wang Guoguang proposed the profits tax based on this logic to nip problems in the bud. From the standpoint of the Ming court and the Ming emperor, he no longer considered himself a Ming citizen, so he took half of his assets!
“The imposition of profits tax will definitely arouse widespread opposition, and even create a trend of sycophants in the government.” Wang Guangguang said with great conviction. The southeastern Japanese invasion is likely to reappear.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "No, no, no, we can't stop eating because of choking. Tax collection is a war from beginning to end. It's just a difference in intensity. Profits tax can effectively avoid the concerns Ai Qing said. It should be To implement it, we should discuss how to implement it. "
"A unified tax of 50% will be levied on any silver that leaves the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, only for silver." Zhang Xueyan explained his idea and levied a 50% tax on all silver that left the Ming Dynasty. Conducting tax audits is the method given by the Ministry of Accounts. These days, the asset registration system and assessment are simply impossible, and the general equivalent of silver is simple and direct.
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "Then if I were a luxury household, I would definitely exchange the silver for commodities and take them out of the country. Whether it is silk, porcelain, or tea, they are all best-selling items, and I am not afraid that they will not be realized. This is contrary to our original intention. "
"This is our purpose," Wang Guoguang replied immediately.
"Let me think for a moment." Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then he fully understood what Wang Guoguang meant. Zheshe households who wanted to escape overseas and enjoy unlimited freedom sold their assets into silver, and then used the silver to Purchasing Daming products promoted the asset proliferation of Daming in disguise, promoted the development of industries and the growth of the worker and peasant population.
The imperial court is not omnipotent. It is impossible to register assets, evaluate, and trace the origin of each item in this era. No matter how high the administrative cost is, it is impossible to do. .
The core solution to the waste of silver is asset appreciation, and profits tax is only one of the means.
There is another crucial issue here. The Ming Dynasty must have an absolute advantage in goods. Then after the Zheshe households took the goods to sea and exchanged them for silver, they had to bring the silver back to the Ming Dynasty for circulation, because In the current world, only Ming Dynasty can provide sufficient goods with sufficient additional benefits.
This can form a closed loop.
"Add a red copper." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and decided to add one more item. In addition to silver, there was also red copper. The Ming Dynasty was really short of copper.
Zhu Yijun looked at the two Situ and said: "Xu Jiugao saw a strange phenomenon in Lima, the Viceroyalty of Peru. It was obviously a stamped Spanish Rial silver coin, which was often cut into two pieces. , 4 yuan, 8 yuan to get change, and the currency in that place is a hodgepodge, scattered silver, silver rial coins, treasure notes issued by the colonial government, and even receipts from tobacco companies are all currencies. "
“Therefore, there is widespread demand for small amounts of money overseas. They can get enough wealth by taking out copper coins weighing two cents.”
"If the Zheshe households are willing to carry treasure banknotes to the sea, I can print as many coins as they want."
Zhu Yijun explained in detail why he wanted to add red copper to the Yongle coin cast during the Yongle period. If Tongbao, or even Oda Nobunaga's family crest, could be generally accepted overseas, Zhu Yijun would be happy to print it.
“What your Majesty said is very good.” After hearing this, Wang Guoguang immediately agreed with His Majesty’s decision. The Baoyuan Bureau that casts Tongbao is under the Ministry of Industry, the Baochao Bureau that prints Baobao is affiliated with the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Money and Grain Bureau The Ministry of Accounts should be responsible for the matter, but Daming Baochao has long lost trust, so the money matters belong to the Ministry of Industry.
This is a loss of power of the Ministry of Accounts, which the Ministry of Accounts cannot tolerate no matter what. Yes, but the current situation of the Ming Dynasty is that it can only use the money method and not the banknote method, so it can only endure. If the overseas governor's office can accept treasure banknotes, it can tear a hole.
The dispute between the Money Law and the Banknote Law is the conflict between the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Accounts.
Zhu Yijun frowned and said: "Although the Ming Dynasty has no tax system, will the collection of profits tax conflict with the current tax system of the Ming Dynasty? The conflict between points, 6 out of 100, and profit tax. "
"This is a punishment." Wang Guangguang answered His Majesty's question concisely. This is a punitive tax for betraying the Ming Dynasty. As a punishment, I am grateful that my house was not confiscated.
Zhu Yijun said worriedly: "So, will such a high profits tax breed more smuggling? This is a question we must consider. I still remember Guiyan Bay Private Market, It almost broke the close relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the Luzon Governor's Palace."
Zhang Xueyan thought for a while and shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the court's profit tax only costs money, but the smugglers are all desperadoes. Not only do you need money, but you also need your life. When you get to the sea, there are waves everywhere. There are no rules. If you really entrust it to a snakehead, wouldn’t it be like a meat bun beating a dog and never coming back? "
“This is also one of the reasons why Ming Dynasty’s maritime trade has not been able to develop rapidly since Yongle ceased official ships and official trade. Desperadoes spread all over the ocean, pirates blocked sea routes, and merchant ships were in crisis every step of the way.”
Since the last voyage to the Western Ocean in the ninth year of Xuande, the ships of the Ming Dynasty's huge navy have slowly decayed on the trestles. As the ships have decayed, so has the order of the ocean. Since then, the scale and trade volume of maritime merchants have been far less than those of the Ming Dynasty. The trading volume of a shipping company.
"If that's the case, then why not collect more? It's better to be 70%." Zhu Yijun tapped his fingers on the table, and the Ming Emperor's passive skill, stingy and greedy, activated!
“It’s better to give 50%.” Wang Guoguang said in a low voice: “The reason why I didn’t beat them to death with a stick and let them carry some goods is to let them go to sea to explore, plunder, and If they go to develop plantations and catch and trade slaves, 70% of them will be drained directly. These guys with evil intentions may be willing to take risks and choose snakeheads."
"Yes, that makes sense." Zhu Yijun was very sorry. He said, it is a pity that we cannot collect 20% more taxes.
"So, Da Situ, Shao Situ, I have an idea. Can we make a kind of paper currency that is difficult to counterfeit, but cannot be cashed? It is specially used for overseas trade. The Ming Dynasty lacks money, and overseas It's the same thing." Zhu Yijun said to Wang Guoguang.
Banknotes that cannot be redeemed, banknotes that cannot be exchanged for gold and silver, use banknotes to harvest the world.
“Your Majesty’s idea is truly a wise one!” Wang Guoguang’s eyes flashed with the light of money.
