The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1829

[1829.Chapter 1739 Completed]

In the eyes of these courtiers and Confucian scholars, Emperor Suleiman was almost a model among holy kings.

He trusted Confucian scholars, entrusted them with power, and even used Confucian methods to govern the country to a certain extent and respected rule by virtue.

Li Zheng’s eyes were filled with tears of excitement, and he prostrated gratefully and said: “Long live my emperor.”

Suleiman looked at Li Zheng with a smile, he was very relieved about Li Zheng.

To some extent, he was more willing to use these Confucian scholars.

For ordinary monarchs, they will always have doubts about foreigners.

But the traditions of the Ottoman Empire were completely different.

The sultans of the Ottoman dynasties were willing to use pagans or foreigners, and… it was precisely because of this that the Ottoman Empire was strong.

For example, the favorites around the Ottoman Emperor were almost all Greeks, Serbians, or Bulgarians. These people often came from humble backgrounds. If they had the slightest chance to perform in front of the Emperor, they would do it regardless of their lives, which is why they did it. Because of their foreign status, they desperately needed the emperor’s trust, so they were more attentive to their work.

At this time, Suleiman said: “I am waiting for the news of the triumphant return of the Qing family. I am a little tired today.”

Then all the scholars saluted and said goodbye.

As soon as everyone left, an eunuch tiptoed in and whispered: “Your Majesty, the French are here.”

Suleiman nodded lightly: “Invite him to come.”

After a while, a man came in, clearly a Frenchman. Robot, he saluted Suleiman.

Suleiman smiled: “Are you satisfied with the covenant?”

The Franji bowed to Suleiman and said in awkward Chinese: “Your Majesty, I am satisfied with everything. His Majesty the King is very satisfied to be able to become friends with the powerful Osman. He hopes that His Majesty will cherish our friendship. This is a personal letter from His Majesty the King. I hope that His Majesty will read it.”

The eunuch took the letter and handed it to Sule .

Man.

Suleiman opened it and looked down: “I heard that France is also a country of etiquette. Now you and I, the East and the West, have united to form a secret treaty to jointly deal with Austria and the Spanish. This is God’s good intention.”

“Yes.” The Franconian looked a little unnatural, but he still nodded in agreement.

Suleiman’s eyes shone brightly, but he said with a deep meaning: “Wouldn’t the Dharma King have any doubts about uniting with a heretic like me?”

“No.” Franji shook his head: “Just like your Majesty. As he said, this is God’s will, and we, mortals, are just following His will. His Majesty the King is a devout believer, and he will definitely fulfill God’s will.”

Suleiman sneered in his heart and said: “In my opinion, this is not the case. You don’t talk about strange powers and confuse the gods. You also say that a gentleman respects ghosts and gods and keeps them at a distance. How can you talk about gods all the time? This is just the unprecedented power of the Austrians. King France I just feel the pressure, don’t worry, next year, I will mobilize a large army to attack Austria, vowing to flatten Austria.”

“His Royal Highness also hopes that His Majesty can abide by the agreement and not reveal this secret agreement to others. I’m afraid…”

“I understand.” Suleiman said: “If not, I’m afraid the Dharma King will be criticized by countless people.”

Franji breathed a sigh of relief: “Your Majesty’s mind and magnanimity are very admirable. But… there is one more thing. It concerns the Northern Province. The Ming army in the Northern Province has been besieged by the Austrians for several years. They have been asking for help from His Majesty the King. What do you think about this? “

Suleiman .

Said: “I know these people. Some of these people are eloquent, but I admire them. They are actually in trouble and can persist for so long. As for the views of the Dharma King, I cannot influence it, but I advise the Dharma King. This is It is not a bad thing for the Ming Dynasty and the Austrians to continue to bleed in the Northern Province. What the King of France has to do is to let them continue to bleed. Neither can the remaining forces of the Ming army in the Northern Province be wiped out by Austria. , and the Austrians must not stop their offensive.”

The Flemish man nodded: “I will bring these words to His Majesty the King.”

Suleiman stood up, put his hands behind his back, and sent the Flemish man away. He turned around and looked. Looking at the screen in the distance, there was a calligraphy and painting on the screen. Looking at the dragons and phoenixes dancing in calligraphy, the palace fell into a deathly silence.

The eunuch on the side had no way of knowing the true thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor, let alone what Suleiman was thinking at this moment.

After a long time, Suleiman suddenly smiled: “There are only two forces in Europe, one is the unprecedentedly powerful Austrians, and the other is France. The Austrians have surrounded the entire France from Spain to the Holy Roman Empire, and then to Austria. Now France The situation of people is already precarious. I know that the French will extend an olive branch. In the face of reality, the gods I believe in are not important. Just like I make good use of Confucianism, I will use the virtues of China to rule. Attacking their hearts is the only sharp sword to conquer this country.”

After saying this, he fell into silence again, sat back on his desk, and picked up “Spring and Autumn”!

…………

In half a year, Chenzhuang’s project has begun to take shape.

Countless amounts of steel are continuously transported here. Anyone who comes here will definitely be shocked by the wonders here.

Huge high-rise buildings are rising from the ground. Although it is just a frame, in the distance… the excellently planned parks and green spaces, as well as the wide streets, are beginning to take shape.

Even in the nearby river, ditches were specially dug to divert water and build a landscaped river channel.

There are countless craftsmen here.

From tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

The method to recruit a large number of craftsmen is actually very simple.

It’s nothing more than silver.

The Fang family lost countless amounts of money, and almost all available funds were invested in it.

With the money, there was room for Li Tianke to work. Each engineering problem was solved through countless people’s hard thinking, and finally… with the efforts of the craftsmen, it became possible.

New rivet techniques, new welding processes, countless steel materials built the skeleton, and then concrete was poured. In this era, there were no large-scale machinery, but there were countless manpower.

All manpower performs their own duties, and what is tested is also the organizational ability of people like Li Tian.

In fact…compared to skills, a project’s organizational capabilities are the key.

Because there are many ways to solve problems, as long as you have money and are willing to use your brain, there will always be a solution.

But these 100,000 people are busy here. What does everyone do today, what will they do tomorrow, how to cheer them up, so that they won’t cause any trouble, and no one will do useless work. These… For Li Tian, That’s the real test.

Fortunately… he was promoted step by step. He had experience in arranging projects for tens of thousands of people before, but this time… the project was a bit big. After suffering a lot of losses and being in a hurry for a while, Li Tian finally The batch of people has begun to slowly become familiar with the road.

But at this time…he was wearing a teng hat and carefully walked with Fang Jifan while watching.

Fang Jifan was patrolling here with his hands behind his back. At this time, he was looking up at the more than 30-story-high frame and couldn’t help but wonder, this… is already the most magnificent building in this era…!

Looking at this majestic building, Fang Jifan immediately felt a great sense of satisfaction!

It seems that all this money is not in vain!

“Master, this building is about to be capped. Immediately afterwards, the concrete pouring and interior decoration will begin.” Li Tiandao.

“Will it collapse?” Fang Jifan blinked, his eyes still on the towering house, but he was a little unsure.

Li Tian hurriedly said: “Master, don’t worry, we have done many experiments, and according to stress calculations, it is stronger than ordinary mansions, even if there is a landslide…”

Fang Jifan didn’t like hearing these unlucky words, so he frowned. He frowned and said: “Shut up, don’t say whether these are available or not.”

“Yes, yes, yes, the student will die.” Li Tian said cautiously: “The student means…ah, by the way, Master “The Academy of Sciences is looking for a name for this building.”

“Oh?” Fang Jifan said happily: “Why, you have already thought of a name for me?”

Li Tian said, “After all, this is a big deal. The entire Academy of Sciences.” He was interested in this building and thought it was an unprecedented thing since the beginning of the world, so he solicited it from the capital and Tianjin Wei.”

Fang Jifan showed some interest and couldn’t help but ask: “What name is being solicited here in the capital? “

It’s called Tongtian.”

Fang Jifan suddenly felt bored and shook his head: “There is no creativity at all. Where is Tianjin Wei?”

At this time, Li Tian’s expression became strange and he hesitated: “Over there… Many people hope to make the world’s scum king unofficial.”

Fang Jifan’s face suddenly turned the color of pig liver. If so, who would he sell his building to?

Seeing Fang Jifan’s unhappy look, Li Tian hurriedly said: “Many people in Tianjin Wei go to sea, so people firmly believe that being a scumbag and not an official in the world can bring them good luck. Most of them think that such a tall building, It’ll be fine if it doesn’t collapse, just like a ship won’t sink, so I think it’s auspicious to call it this!”

Fang Jifan lost his patience and said, “Let’s not mention the name of this! Of course the money I paid is… I can call you whatever I want. If it is their turn to talk, let them all go away and stop talking.”

Li Tian nodded. He was used to Party A, ah, no, he was used to Master’s scolding. The longer they interacted, The more friendly I feel, this is the taste of my hometown.

Fang Jifan immediately said: “This sales place must be built quickly. There are also planning drawings. To make it look better, we need to make a big sand table. I think… the situation is almost there. If we don’t raise funds quickly, , The gold and silver here are also a bit tight. These things must be done quickly, don’t be lazy, understand?”

Li Tian said quickly: “Yes.”
