Chapter Forty-Five: Alternative Japanese Trouble

Last time, I talked about how I urged my brother to teach his parents the "Yin-Yang Cycle of Creation Kung Fu", which greatly improved his skills, greatly increased his cultivation, and advanced to the middle stage of foundation building.

"Gee, brother, you are really a busy person. You can't do it alone. Why don't you see your sister-in-law come back to help take care of such a big business?"

"Hehe, sisters are joking." After hearing this, Carpenter Cui knew that the other party wanted to monopolize power, but he pretended to be embarrassed and said: "Your sister-in-law said, 'It is better to practice Buddhism than to live in hardships in the mortal world.' She or she became a monk and sought immortality." Okay. As for the family business, just let my sisters and nieces take care of it."

The carpenter just walked around the "Luban Gate" symbolically and showed off his fist and kick skills. When he saw the "thornheads" who were originally black and white, he deliberately pulled them out and beat them violently, and then used "qi" in front of them. "Forbidden", "Dali", "vomiting inflammation", "swallowing knives", etc., scaring them half to death.

The purpose of urging Carpenter to do this is to force all those who think they are suitable for practicing martial arts to work hard to practice the "Dharma Yijin Sutra", so that after opening up the "Ren and Du Second Meridian" as soon as possible, he can take them away to swallow their souls and refine their corpses. As for those who were slow to respond, they continued to do carpentry work and sell it to themselves.

Carpenter Ji would also take advantage of the opportunity to sell various furniture in bulk to go to Si Yamen, Cheng's official envoy, to visit his three daughters and visit his sworn brother "Master Lu". After all, he was the "Guangnan West Road Cheng announced" "Your Majesty the Ambassador," the burden on your shoulders is heavy and needs to be shared.

No, recently there has been another "Japanese invasion" along the coast. In addition, in the name of missionary work, the Western "red-haired ghosts" have repeatedly deceived people in various places on Guangnan West Road, leading to countercurrents such as the "White Lotus Sect" and grass bandits in various places. The gathering of people to rebel led to countless people who did not know the truth being deceived by it, and the situation was critical.

"Report - report to your lord, urge the master to ask for a meeting." Just when the chief envoy was overwhelmed by these troublesome matters, he suddenly heard that he was urging the carpenter to ask for a meeting. He suddenly became energetic and seemed to have found the key to breaking the situation. After all, the other party But there are talented people and strangers, so he must be the one to eradicate the Japanese plague!

"Hurry up and invite me!" The chief envoy winked at the adjutant and asked him to go out to greet him in person. At the same time, he asked his servants to prepare high-quality fragrant tea.

"Haha, my dear brother is here, but my foolish brother failed to welcome me from afar. It's a sin! I'm sorry!" The chief envoy unexpectedly stopped putting on official airs and sounded more humble in his tone. However, the carpenter was at a loss as to what to do, so he had to fight. He laughed and said: "Brother is too modest, I can't afford it."

"Haha, you deserve it." The chief envoy, Mr. Lu, took the hand of the carpenter and said loudly: "Hurry up and serve the tea! Dear brother, please take a seat!" As soon as the words were said, the maids hurriedly served it respectfully. He drank the fragrant tea and then stepped aside to wait. The government officials also stood aside and waited.

"Brother, how are you these days?" The carpenter urged the carpenter to pick up a cup of tea and taste it, but he said tentatively: "The tea is good, it smells good and soothes your throat, but it's a pity that it's too expensive."

"Oh? The fragrant tea is too expensive? Why did you say this, brother Xian? Is it because you are worried that you won't be able to drink fragrant tea when you come to Brother Yu's place in the future?" The chief envoy asked doubtfully.

"Haha, brother is worrying too much." The carpenter said, pretending to be profound: "Just now I counted my fingers and realized that my brother is in trouble, hehe."

"Oh? How can I say this? Could it be..." The chief envoy hesitated and said, "Could it be that my dear brother also knows the magic of predicting the future? "The Book of Lu Ban"?"

"Haha, brother, have you forgotten? I know some 'side theories' that can be used as investigation methods, so I know that brother will be in trouble."

"Uh...well...to be honest, brother Yu is really troubled by some trivial matters right now. He really doesn't know what to do!"

"Oh? Brother, you might as well tell me, maybe I can help!" Carpenter Ji had already secretly used the "Mengtou" spell to predict some things that were about to happen, and felt that this was a way to make the other party default.

A great opportunity for your own favors to help you make big profits.

Uh... well... since the wise brother has personally asked the question, if the foolish brother is secretive, he will be ashamed of the sincerity of the wise brother." The chief envoy then said awkwardly: "It's strange to say, it has been wiped out a few years ago.

'Japanese pirates' have recently made a comeback, and they specialize in plundering state and county government treasuries at night..."

This acknowledges that although the imperial envoy is a second-rank official of the imperial court and has the right to mobilize local troops to suppress rebellion and defend against foreign enemies in emergencies, he cannot mobilize the elite guards and garrison guards stationed in various places by the imperial court. Moreover, every time he mobilizes troops

They will all be watched by the secret agencies of the East and West Second Factory.

In addition, the money stolen from the treasury of the coastal states and counties, the loss is more than a million? The most important thing is to send troops to suppress thieves, to burn money in war, guns and ammunition, and soldiers' food and salary. Each of these requires money, and it is a lot of money! If

Even if the court is willing to allocate funds as soon as possible, it will take several months, and it will still have to be held accountable.

In other words, the imperial government only allocated funds to the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War. Troops were dispatched from other places to suppress thieves and recover stolen goods. After deducting the military expenses spent on recruiting soldiers and fighting, the proceeds were offset against the stolen official bank account of the government treasury, and any excess money was refunded.

If the supply is insufficient, local officials will have to find ways to make up for it.

After listening to what the chief envoy said, the carpenter couldn't help but sweat broke out on his forehead. He didn't expect that being an official would not make a small profit without losing anything. Maybe it would be "when people sit at home, disaster will come from the sky!" If we can eradicate it!

If this gang of Japanese pirates recovers the stolen money, then everything will go well and they will be considered a great achievement, otherwise they will end up in a miserable way.

"What can a brother do if he needs a little brother? Just ask!" The carpenter thought for a while and then said: "As long as the little brother can do it, the definition is unavoidable!"

"Haha, with the words of Brother Xian, Brother Yu is relieved." The chief envoy suddenly burst into tears and said with a smile: "Brother Yu originally planned to borrow some silver from Brother Xian to buy arms to fight against the Japanese pirates, but after thinking about it, he felt that the Japanese pirates

He always commits crimes at night and appears elusive, so sending a large army may not be effective."

"Oh? What does brother mean..." Ji Carpenter knew what he was thinking, so he smiled and said, "Brother wants to use the little brother's 'side ways' to defeat the enemy?"

"Yes, Brother Yu has this intention!" The chief envoy said, stroking his beard: "To be honest, Brother Yu has prepared three plans: One is to borrow tens of thousands of taels of silver from Brother Xian to go to Macau to find the Portuguese to buy a furlong machine.

Armed soldiers to suppress bandits, and secondly, please ask the wise brother to personally take action to bring the Japanese pirates to justice..."

"May I ask, brother, what is the third plan?" --- "The third plan is for me to personally go to the court and ask the court to recruit capable people to surrender the Japanese pirates and recover the stolen money."

The envoy said: "But in this case, not only will Brother Yu have no merit, but he will also make mistakes. I'm afraid Wu Sha will not be able to protect him."

"Oh? That's it! It seems that my elder brother is also working hard!" The carpenter suddenly said with a smile: "In that case, I will help my brother with this. It's just that my daughter stayed at his place for three months to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

With the court etiquette, I didn’t even go home for the Chinese New Year, I guess..."

"Haha, brother Yu, don't worry. Brother Yu understands what brother means." Chief Minister Lu stroked his long beard and said, "As long as brother Yu can help brother Yu put an end to the 'Japanese invasion' that happened on Guangnan West Road and Hainan Island."

After settling the matter, I will go to the court to ask for merit for my worthy brother, and by the way, I will also report your daughter to the emperor..."

"Haha, please worry about it, brother!" The carpenter said with a smile: "If I can become a 'relative of the emperor' in the future, my brother will definitely be a first-class official in the court! If you and I join forces, who else dares to disobey?

If you don't accept it, kill him, and kill him until he accepts it! By then, the Ming Dynasty will... Hehe."

"Haha, my dear brother is indeed not a creature of the pond!" The chief envoy broke out in a cold sweat at first, then realized what he was doing and said with a smile: "Brother Fool, how about replacing the wine with tea and wishing your wise brother a successful start? Haha."

As soon as he fell, he actually showed respect, which made the carpenter amused.

"Haha, with brother's good words, I will definitely live up to my destiny!" The carpenter was also clean, so he laughed and said: "It can be as short as three or five days, or as long as ten days. I will definitely destroy the ones who created the terracotta warriors and the Japanese pirates."

After clearing the situation, deliver the stolen treasury official silver from various states and counties to my brother and say goodbye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Carpenter used his escape technique to turn into a ray of light and disappeared underneath. He was so frightened that the tea cup in the hand of the chief minister, Mr. Lu, almost fell to the ground. Even the adjutant of the administrative office who was standing aside and obeying orders at any time was frightened.

He was stunned and stammered: "Where is this, this, this... this person?"
