Chapter 642

"Cao min Zheng Jiazuo, see the emperor

Zheng Jiazuo was forced to kneel down.

Wang Zhong didn't care and waved his hand: "there's no need for red tape. Get up, Miss Zheng. How do you know my identity?"

Zheng Shishi explained: "that time you asked Lu Pingying to be beheaded, and the people's daughter was lucky to see that scene."

"Oh? You were in that crowd that day."

"Yes, I heard that you were going to interrogate Lu Pingying personally before that. I'll go and have a look......"

"Well, I see." Wang Zhong smiled: "since you know me, I don't need to introduce myself. I want to say something to you today."

Zheng Jiazuo is very happy now. Why is he happy?

It's simple! The emperor came all the way to ask his daughter something. He was 100% ready to take a concubine.

At the thought that his daughter would become the emperor's concubine, Zheng Jiazuo couldn't help feeling proud. It was really glorious.

But I may seldom see my daughter in the future.

Thinking of this, Zheng Jiazuo worried about gain and loss again.

"The emperor doesn't know what to do with minnv?"

Zheng Shishi looked at Wang Zhong and felt strange in his heart.

Is the emperor really interested in her and wants to marry her?

What should I do.

However, Wang Chong's next sentence made her feel relieved.

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

"People's daughter dare not take credit for it. Most of the Xianyuan building is managed by my father. People's daughter just provides some little advice." Zheng Shishi said.

"But it is precisely because of your opinions that business here is better. I think you are very business minded and can be used by me. If you do a good job, I will reward you heavily, and even give you a promotion." Wang Zhong said.

For example, Zheng Shishi only earns money in business.

But if you work for Wang Chong, you will not only have money, but also status and power.

"People's women are stupid and don't understand the emperor's intention."

Wang Zhong explained, "I have set up a foreign affairs department, which is specially responsible for trade. Now I want to find talents who can do business and know how to deal with people. I think you are good, so I come to you."

"Let me manage the foreign affairs department."

Rao Shi, Zheng Shi, is very clever. At the moment, he can't turn around.

"Of course, if you want to manage the foreign affairs department, you have to pass my test. Now I test you. You and your caravan pass through an island and find that the people on that island are naked. What will you do?"

"Er............"

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

"Well, good."

Wang Zhong nodded with satisfaction. This is the standard answer. I really didn't read the wrong 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.

"People's women don't know very well, but they think that if there is gold, it's better to buy some places and do some small businesses

Wang Zhong smiled again, and this answer was very satisfactory.

Some people have a lot of money and think of playing, while Zheng Shishi thinks of doing business. This brain is really unusual.

"Now I ask you whether you are willing to work for me!" Wang Zhong said.

Speaking of now, the father and daughter also know that Wang Zhong didn't come to take a concubine, but asked Zheng Shishi to be an official.

For a time, Zheng Shishi was a little worried: "emperor, since ancient times, there has never been a woman serving as an official in the court. I'm afraid I can't do it well."

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

"This..."

Although Wang Zhong said very well, Zheng Shishi still had great concerns.

After all, if you don't do well, if you get into big trouble, you will be beheaded.

Of course, there are also benefits, that is, their Zheng family is no longer limited to this small place, and they can have greater development in the future, or even make progress.

It seemed that Zheng Shishi was worried. Wang Zhong said, "you don't have to worry about what will happen if you do something wrong. I can promise you that as long as you don't mess around, you will be wrong if you do something wrong. Just learn a lesson."

"Well, it's settled."

Before Zheng Shishi agreed, Wang Zhong said.

Zheng Shishi suddenly looked up: "emperor, before that, I have a heartless request!"

"Oh? What conditions do you have?" Wang Chong said with a teasing smile.

"The reason why minnv and her father lived here was that they were persecuted in their hometown, and the mother of minnv was killed alive by those people."

"In detail."

"Yes!"

Zheng Shishi took a deep breath. She knew that this was her only chance to revenge.

Then she began to talk.

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

Later, in the course of the conflict, her mother was killed. In order to avoid being chased, Zheng Jiazuo fled here overnight with Zheng Shishi.

Over the years, Zheng Shishi has never forgotten the scene that her mother was killed that day. She dreams of revenge for her mother.

But she knew it was hard to do so.

The other party is a court official, even if it's just a small official with sesame seeds and mung beans, it's not something he can deal with as a restaurant owner.

Although the diners downstairs are polite to her, they also give you face. If you really want to ask others, you can't tell what they will ask for.

"Unexpectedly, the county magistrate in your hometown is not a big official, and he has the courage to do evil things openly."

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

Sometimes the low-level officials do evil, but it is more hateful than the corruption of senior officials!

"Emperor, please make decisions for the people's daughter to comfort my mother's spirit in heaven." Zheng Shishi pleaded and said again, "as long as the emperor agrees to the requirements of the people's daughter, the people's daughter is willing to serve the emperor even if she is a cow and horse."

"Hum, are you talking about terms with me?" Wang Chong snorted coldly.

"People dare not."

"Well, in fact, if you don't mention this condition, I will eradicate those stupid officials."

Zheng Shishi looked up inconceivably.

"You are all my people. How can I even let those stupid officials bully you? So don't worry, I'll send someone over these days."

"Thank you, Emperor."

"OK, clean up tomorrow and follow me into the palace."

"Yes!"

From this day on, Zheng Shishi is the temporary Minister of foreign affairs, in charge of foreign affairs and trade.

After entering Beijing, Wang Zhong arranged people to teach Zheng Shishi about the situation of some large countries nearby.

On the other hand, Zheng Shishi's hometown also arranged Imperial Envoys to go there and seal up the whole family of the local county magistrate. The county magistrate and several owl capitals were escorted to the capital and sent down after listening.

After knowing the news, Zheng Shishi finally settled down and devoted herself to learning about trade.

Knowing that the fleet was going to sea, Wang Zhong and Zheng Shishi put forward suggestions 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 and did not ignore the government as before, but she never thought that the emperor was so smart that she could figure out how to establish an embassy.

Zheng Shishi thinks he is really stupid. So far, many major decisions of the Ministry of foreign affairs are suggested by Wang Zhong, which shows that strictly speaking, the emperor is more suitable for the work of the Ministry of foreign affairs.

But the emperor is too busy on weekdays, so he will let her do it.

"I must study hard and try to catch up with the emperor."

Zheng Shishi was secretly ruthless.

Six months later, after several major reforms, the Ministry of foreign affairs successfully opened a market for tea and porcelain.

And from overseas, a steady flow of grain has also begun to come in.

These grains were put in warehouses in key towns by Wang Chong and sold at the end of this year during the winter.

The reason for preparing in advance is that this year is very important.

According to the mission information, I may have a big trouble this year. There are insurgents everywhere, and finally I was burned alive.

The food is ready. At present, the people around the capital share the same land. Wang Chong visited several places in private and asked some people privately. In many places, everyone has their own land. People are happy and want to go to a well-off society.

According to Wang Zhong's estimation, even if there will be trouble at the end of this year, at least it will be safe around the capital.

In terms of weapons, progress is not very fast.

The main reason is that the factories manufacturing firearms have not made rapid progress, so the production of firearms has remained at the stage of small workshops and cannot be manufactured in large quantities.

Therefore, only 400 muskets have been manufactured so far.

Wang Zhong personally trained these firemen. These people don't need to be very strong, but they should run fast, have good eyes and flexible fingers.

This is a necessary condition for a qualified firearm soldier.

The 400 Musketeers didn't know Wang Chong's wonderful soldier at all except some people who Wang Chong trusted.

It was in this year that empress Zhao Luan finally had a child.

The queen is happy!

When the news came out, the whole uterus was as happy as the Spring Festival.

But Wang Zhong was not dazzled by this joy. It has been raining recently.

It has been raining for several days. If it continues like this, the farmers' harvest this year may not be very good.

"We have to hurry and get ready."

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

"Emperor, it's so late. Why don't you rest?"

Zhao Luan asked aside.

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

Wang Chong sighed, "if it goes on like this, I'm afraid there will be a flood."

Zhao Luan naturally knew how much the flood had hit agriculture, and was worried for a time.

In the past two years, the people of Dayan Dynasty had not been doing well. Unexpectedly, there was a flood this year. In this way, there must be not enough food at the end of the year.

"Emperor, we have established trade relations with overseas countries. As long as we have goods, we can continuously transport grain in." Zhao Luan comforted.

"That being said, there are too few ships in our country to carry grain on a large scale. What's more, there are too many anti righteous people in some remote areas. If I agree to the uprising, I'm not afraid, but I'm also a little worried."
