Chapter 21 I Zhuge calculated with his fingers, Daoguang, you have to beg for food!

Its daybreak!

Zhuge Weidao, who was lying on the table and sleeping soundly, suddenly heard the voices of Yu Hui and Guo Xiaobao in his ears.

"Brother Daozi, it's dawn!"

"Brother Daozi, wake up quickly!"

"Brother Daozi, we have a guest."

"Brother Daozi, don't sleep, someone is asking you to tell your fortune!"

Zhuge Weidao, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by his two good friends. Then he opened his hazy sleepy eyes, looked around, and found Yu Hui and Guo Xiaobao standing next to him.

Zhuge Weidao also asked, "Changfu, Baozhi, were we all drunk last night?"

"Yes, yes, they are all drunk!"

"Yes, we got drunk together!"

Zhuge Weidao asked again: "The three of us slept at the wine table like this all night?"

"Yes, we didn't go anywhere, we just got drunk all night."

"Brother Daozi, the same goes for you!"

Zhuge Weidao breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Well, you just said you had a visitor?"

"Yes," Guo Xiaobao said, "Fairy Nalan just sent someone to report that there is a distinguished guest who wants to ask Brother Daozi to clarify his doubts."

"Clear the confusion?"

"It's just fortune telling!" Yu Hui said with a smile, "This is what the Jin people believe in, and it is also a method passed down by King Wuzhong. If they have any questions that they can't solve after you become King Wuzhong, of course they want to ask for your help."

The visitor was a fat man with a big face, small eyes, and a mustache. He looked like a Mongolian at first sight.

Looking again, Zhuge Weidao, who was good at calculations, was confused because he saw Heshen and Nalandili standing respectfully behind the fat Mongolian!

It’s okay for Nalandili to be so respectful, she is just a fairy after all. But who is He Shen? A bachelor of the Wuji Palace and a minister of the Tianji Department, a relative prime minister, and a veteran of the three dynasties of the Kingdom of Jin.

In this Jin Empire, the only person who could allow him to serve him so respectfully was Emperor Daoguang.

But why is this Daoguang so fat? Is it because the cattle and sheep people here in the Fergana Basin are very cheap, and there is no Ministry of Internal Affairs to deceive him, so he eats and drinks every day and gets himself like this? Or is this Daoguang already?

Being transferred by cruel historical changes? Zhuge Weidao let out a long sigh when he thought that Daoguang, who felt distressed for a long time even after eating an egg, had been "obliterated".

This sigh was nothing, but it shocked Fat Daoguang.

What does this mean? You sigh as soon as we meet? Is it possible that my face is not good? I look in the mirror every day to see myself, and I am an absolute ninety-five person!

He was just worried that Zhuge had already bowed his hand to Dao Guang - he had already asked Guo Xiaobao that the envoys of the Ming Dynasty did not worship the king of a small country! So he just bowed his hand to Daoguang when he saw him.

Of course, officials of the Ming Dynasty generally did not kneel down to the emperor and the queen mother of the Ming Dynasty. First, because they basically could not see those two people; second, the kneeling ceremony was only required in extremely important scenes, and it was not

Everyone needs to kneel. The heads of the eight great families have the privilege of being "exempt from kneeling". Many high-ranking officials and senior council officials also have this privilege.

After he finished cupping his hands, Zhuge Weidao smiled and said to Fat Daoguang: "You must be a noble person of the Jin Kingdom, right? Zhuge Weidao is polite." Then he cupped his hands to Heshen and said, "Good morning, senior brother."

Fat Daoguang just smiled faintly and was noncommittal. He brought He Shen over, and he had no intention of hiding his identity. However, he did not put on a dragon robe, but a Taoist priest's uniform and a ponytail scarf on his head -

—It’s a wig. Because the Taoist priests in the early Qing Dynasty also had to keep their hair open, they invented this kind of wig hat. They put it on during the practice and took it off when checking for baldness. Of course, the current Jin Dynasty would not dare

Taoist priests were allowed to shave their heads, but laymen still had to shave their heads. Of course Daoguang also shaved his head, so he could only wear a wig and hat when wearing Taoist robes.

With him dressed like this, it was quite appropriate for Zhuge Weidao to call him a "great nobleman".

He Shen introduced with a smile: "Junior Brother Zhuge, this is Fellow Taoist Jin. He is indeed a great nobleman of our Jin Empire. I came here today because of his fame and wanted to ask Junior Brother to clear up my doubts. If Junior Brother can clear up the doubts in Fellow Taoist Jin's mind,

The gold in this hexagram is bound to be very rich."

Yes, this is a fortune teller.

Zhuge Weidao smiled and pointed to the seats in the room, asking Fat Daoguang and He Shen to sit down. He also found a chair to sit down, and then looked at Fat Daoguang with a smile.

As for Nalandili, who is so beautiful that she almost becomes a fairy, she has a long face and serves tea and water as a maid - how beautiful she is! She has been beautiful since she was a child, but I don’t know how many people will miss her when she grows up.

I didn't expect that when it came to the "actual combat", I would have a bad start and meet Zhuge, who was as good as Long Yang. This was really hard to explain!

What made her even more speechless was that when she reported the matter to Daoguang and Heshen just now, they both thought it was Zhuge Weidao who figured out his side's conspiracy, so they didn't touch Nalan.

Fairy.

"I wonder what confusion Mr. Jin wants to solve?" Zhuge Weidao picked up the fragrant tea sent by Fairy Nalan, took a sip, and then asked half-jokingly, "Is it related to wealth?"

Master!

Fat Daoguang and He Shen had admiration on their faces.

The current Great Jin Kingdom is fine in other aspects. The Wuji Valley (Fergana Basin) is a small world when it closes its door. It is self-sufficient and has no shortage of anything, even salt mines. It is the end of the world outside, and the Jin Empire only needs to defend itself.

Good Taniguchi, you can live a small life.

But since the Silk Road was changed to the sea route, this Wuji Valley has become poorer and poorer. After Kangxi's "Immortal Dynasty" came, there was no improvement. Not to mention the money for cultivating immortals, it is quite expensive. Now it is still very expensive.

It would cost more money to run clear affairs and train a new army. Fat Daoguang became a poor Daoguang, and he was so poor that he had no hope.

What's even worse is that, looking at Central Asia, the Wuji Valley is still the richest place. The Kazakh grasslands, Khorazm Oasis, Samarkand, and Bukhara are not as good as the Wuji Valley.

At least the Wuji Valley has fertile land, is rich in food, and has melted snow from the Tianshan Mountains to replenish water. Basically, it is a good place to go hungry. If it were not stuck in traffic, this area would be pretty good.

As for the Mongolian tribes on the Kazakh grasslands and the Tianfang believers in the Khorazm Oasis, Samarkand, Bukhara and other places, they all surrender to Dajin. Although they cannot pay a few tributes, they do not cause much trouble——

It can't beat the Jin Empire. The military power of this Jin Empire may be stronger than that of the Qing Dynasty in history! Those cultivators are all proficient in mathematics, physics and chemistry. With just a few clicks, the cannons can shoot Zhu Yuan!

So besides being poor, Fat Daoguang has no immediate worries at the moment.

But Fat Daoguang had already calculated the fate of "dying poor" when his Kingdom of Jin was passed to Emperor Xuantong. He wanted to change his destiny against the will of heaven, and also wanted to live a wealthy life for a few days, so he was frowning every day, and now he was asking questions at every turn.

I came to see Zhuge Weidao, the "amnesia Zhuge".

"Junior Brother Daozi, do you have any good tips to solve it?"

"Then let me do the math."

Zhuge Weidao pinched his fingers and started to forget.

There are oil, gas, and uranium mines in Central Asia. We may be able to sell them for a few bucks after the second industrial revolution. But no one wants them now, and the costs of mining and transportation are probably quite high. They will definitely be sold.

Can't get the book.

If mining doesn’t work, then it’s considered robbery!

Rob a Rakshasa?

court death!

Rob the Ming Dynasty?

go Ape!

Grab.India?

That's the territory of the British Empire!

Rob Persia?

It seems that Persia is also protected by Britain.

Grab Afghanistan? Let’s forget about it

Since robbing is not an option, the only option is to beg for food!

Not to mention, Zhuge Weidao is really smart now, and he came up with such a genius idea as soon as he thought about it.

"Yes!" Zhuge Weidao smiled, "We already have a way!"

Fat Daoguang and He Shen were overjoyed when they heard this, and they both looked at Zhuge Dao.

He Shen asked: "I wonder what my junior brother has in mind?"

Zhuge Weidao held out two fingers: "Just two words, beg for food!"

"What?" Daoguang was stunned.

He Shen was also anxious, "Junior Brother Daozi, what are you talking about? Mr. Jin is..."

Nalandili on the side looked gloating.

"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Zhuge Weidao waved his hand, "Mr. Jin, and senior brother, don't be anxious. When I say begging for food, I don't mean that you go to the street to ask for a bowl."

He Shen still shook his head: "I can't ask for it anywhere! I'm a great gold, that's also the fairyland on earth, the emperor of the fairyland."

Seeing that his identity was about to be exposed, Fat Daoguang coughed a few times and interrupted He Shen.

Zhuge Weidao pretended to count his fingers again, "Mr. Jin, you have to recruit more people, preferably the Mongols in the north, Bukhara, Khiva in the south, the vassal king of Samarkand, everyone

Gather more people and go to Persia and India in the south to beg for food!"

"Junior Brother Daozi, do you mean to go to Persia and India to rob them?" He Shen shook his head, with a look of fear on his face, "That is the land under the protection of the British Empire!"

It turns out that Heshen is also afraid of Daying!

Zhuge Weidao looked at Fat Daoguang again, and saw that his brows were furrowed and his face was solemn. He was obviously a little afraid of Daying - there were bad things about the world when he opened his eyes, and he became scared just by looking at it.
