One was holding the phone, and the other was leaning closer to eavesdrop.

This pair must be the two most powerful paparazzi in Ming Dynasty!

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The Li brothers were discussing gossip, but the Zheng brothers, who were far away in London, were discussing the risks after returning to China.

Just yesterday, a telegram came from the other side of the distant earth.

Zheng Sen and his younger brother Tagawa Shichizaemon were asked to return to the Ming Dynasty to take charge of the affairs of the domain and Honglu Temple.

This sudden order made the two brothers feel at a loss.

During their two years in London, they actually didn't do anything serious.

The whole day was spent attending banquets held by arms dealers from various European countries, collecting money and being merciful.

In fact, they are the largest arms dealers in the world.

Those European countries have reached the point where they are willing to spend their money in order to obtain the weapons of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty's domestic policy is becoming more and more liberal. At first, it only sold old warships. There were also captured rifles, mortars, cannons and other things.

Later, the list of things that could be sold grew.

New fuel destroyers, new fuel airships, new rocket launchers.

Even the latest battleships and cruisers are on the list of weapons that can be sold.

The items on the list even surprised the Zheng brothers.

They tried to sell destroyers to the outside world, and as a result, they received orders for more than 100 destroyers from various European countries.

I kept asking if the battleship was for sale.

After receiving a positive reply, the excited Spaniards ordered three ships at once.

It's a pity that later Li Xiu's wife and their cousin took advantage of the benefits, and the direct result was that the battleship was cheaper by four million silver dollars.

This caused the two brothers to lose a lot!

It's true that a married woman throws water out of the way and has a hand in helping her family earn more money.

However, there is nothing we can do about it. Who makes her husband be the commander of the Ming Empire Navy?

Who doesn't know that people all over the world who make a living at sea have to look at Li Xiu's face to survive.

Offending her is not much different from offending the King of Hell.

Unable to offend this cousin, the Zheng brothers had no choice but to endure it.

But the news coming from the country is worse than the last.

First, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, run by the Zheng family, was abolished.

It is not to deprive the Zheng family of their rights, but to abolish the entire organization.

Li Xiao's reason is very aggressive. There is no emperor anymore, so why do we still need an agency like the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

There has been no emperor for more than twenty years. Since there is no new blood to join, the eunuchs and maids in the palace have become exhausted.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has almost completed the historical mission of this organization.

If this matter can be said to be justified!

The children of the Zheng family acted recklessly and injured Li Lin and Huniu. It was definitely a serious accident.

Because of that incident, the Zheng family also lost the Ministry of Water Resources, which was making a lot of money every day.

Nowadays, more and more cities in Ming Dynasty use electricity. Even a fool can see that in the future, hydroelectric power plants will be like gooses that can lay golden eggs.

Now, this goose that can only lay golden eggs belongs to the Li family.

Apart from the maritime business, the Zheng family may be supported only by the arms trade of these two brothers in London.

My father was so angry that he had a stroke. Over the years, the huge Zheng family has completely reduced to a third-rate family in the Ming Dynasty.

None of those descendants have achieved anything, and those in the capital only know how to fight with flying eagles and lackeys.

Those who stayed in Fuzhou and Xiamen spent their days bullying men and dominating women, wandering the streets and doing evil.

In Quanzhou, the Zheng family has become a major public nuisance to the local area.

If it weren't for the pressure from the local government, trouble would have occurred long ago.

In recent years, the rumors in the country have become increasingly disturbing.

The life of the officials is getting more and more difficult. Those guys from the Supervision Department are disappearing and disappearing all day long.

As long as the officials were taken away by them, none of them would be fine.

The head of the Supervision Department is the ridiculously old Lu Xiangsheng.

This old guy doesn't give anyone any face.

As long as his people get you into the Ministry of Supervision, no matter how big your official position is, you will eventually be dealt with in accordance with the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty".

The people in the Supervision Department are even more virtuous than the old guy. They have a dead look on their faces all day long, and no one seems to smile.

If these idiots don't get in, as long as they get in, you won't be able to get it out no matter how much money you have.

Many people who were recommended as officials by the Zheng family were arrested.

Some were sentenced to exile, and some were in prison.

There are even some people who take them directly to the food market and cut them with a knife, which plays a role in venting the anger of the broad masses of the people.

This is also considered waste recycling!

Can……!

You can't ask all officials to be like you, not greedy, not occupying, and not taking advantage of privileges. Who the hell should be an official?

This is what they think about in their hearts, and no matter what, they dare not say it openly.

Now it's their turn!

They were all panicking!

Over the years, those selling weapons have made a lot of money.

Some of the money was deposited in Swiss banks, and some was deposited in the British Empire Bank in London.

With only a part of the money, Zheng Sen sent his right-hand man to transport it to Quanzhou on a ship.

This time when I go back, if I can’t fix it, I’ll end up with pigtails.

Even though Zheng Sen was Li Xiao's student, Li Xiao was busy with official duties in those years and didn't teach him much.

Zheng Sen's current level of knowledge is not much greater than that of the children running around naked on Changxing Island.

This is especially true for Tagawa Nanaemon, a child born into a pirate family and living in a Japanese country where pirates are everywhere.

The genes of pirates are engraved in their bones. It is really difficult for them to see money and not get angry and take possession of it.

When I return to China this time, if I get targeted by those from the Supervision Department and make a mistake in my business trip, my life will be over.

Don't look at Zheng Sen's Li Xiao's students. Li Xiao is the kind of person who turns his back on others.

Once he is targeted by that old bastard Lu Xiangsheng, Li Xiao may not necessarily protect him.

The more the two brothers thought about it, the more they returned to the Ming Dynasty, the more they found themselves in a dragon's pit and a tiger's den.

"Brother, let's go back like this. Just in case...!" Tagawa Nanzaemon was a little worried.

His new position is the head of the Lifan Yuan!

The Rihan Yuan is the institution that manages each vassal state!

To be precise, it means managing Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Myanmar, Cochin, Laos, Siam, and Java.

Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a fat job second only to Honglu Temple.

However, Tagawa Nanzaemon was a little nervous because he was afraid that Lu Xiangsheng would arrest him when he returned.

After all, in the past two years in London, my butt has been really dirty.

"As a family, what will we do if we don't go back? Not going back is disobedience!

I have to go back. You can write a letter and resign from your job as the head of the Lifan Yuan.

Since you are a native of Japan, you can continue to return to Japan and be your vassal.
Chapter completed!
