Chapter 76 Free America (New book is on the shelves, please be the first to order.)

In the imperial palace in the capital, an innocent-looking Zhou Kui met his daughter in front of the eunuchs and maids.

"Meet the Queen."

"Father is exempt from the ceremony. Today I called my father over, not only because I miss my father, but also because I have something to ask my father.

Have any of my father’s grain stores in the capital increased their prices recently?”

"It's gone up. The border uses grain to transport grain and fodder. The capital doesn't have much food. Last year, the south was hit by disaster. Now the grain reserves have decreased. Everyone else has gone up. Of course I have to go up."

Zhou Kui didn't know why the queen suddenly asked this. Could it be that the emperor knew about their plan?

"Father, you are confused! Don't you know that His Majesty is also sending people to buy food and pay to help the border?

If you raise the price now, aren't you going to poke your family's back?"

"Hey, you are unjustly accusing me of being a father. You must know that the food in our grain store is also bought from other people.

If others raise the price, we will naturally have no choice but to raise the price. You can't let me lose money on the business, right?"

When Zhou Kui heard this, he screamed Qu Dao. Queen Zhou was not stupid, and of course she knew that Zhou Kui was just trying to fool herself.

"Father, why do you say that you have tens of thousands of acres of farmland and at least tens of thousands of dan in grain storage, but now you tell me that you bought the grain from others?"

"Isn't this because of the disaster last year? I remember I wrote to you last year and told you that the output of my family's fields was reduced.

My father also donated a hundred stones to the charity warehouse built by our family nearby, and encouraged the villagers to donate food to the charity warehouse."

If she hadn't known about her father's nature, Queen Zhou would have almost believed it. Thinking about His Majesty's cold aura today and thinking about the family ties, Queen Zhou seriously interrupted Zhou Kui's nonsense.

"Father, I'm just going to say this once. My husband is already angry. If you don't want the Zhou family to suffer disaster, you should quickly lower the price of food. It's best to set an example and donate some food or money to your husband."

"Oh, there is no money left in the family. It is gone! This year, the salary your Majesty gave to the family has been reduced by half. There are so many people in the house to support.

Besides, when it comes to storing food, the price of food rises because there is no food. If you do this, you are starving your father, your mother, and your brothers and sisters."

When Zhou Kui heard this, he burst into tears instantly. Looking at his much older father, Queen Zhou gave a helpless smile.

"That's all, Uncle Jiading, I don't ask you to make a donation, as long as you lower the price of your grain store, this is non-negotiable!"

"Okay, the Queen said so. I have no choice but to obey my orders, alas! Alas! Alas!"

Zhou Kui saw that the queen was already acting like a queen, so he didn't dare to talk back anymore, so he had to agree first. Now, he had no choice but to not participate in this plan and choose to make a small profit.

Then he left with a sigh, which made Queen Zhou very angry.

As a father, he didn't know that a disaster was approaching, and he was still counting on his trivial losses.

After thinking sadly for a while, he then returned to the palace with the maids and eunuchs.

She knew that among these people there must be people arranged by her husband, but it didn't matter, she did what she could. Even if her father didn't listen to the advice later, at least her husband would still treat her with dignity and respect.

Wuying Palace.

Fan Fucui was on duty and was reading the memorials. He frowned when he saw a memorial about Li Zicheng's trip to Kaifeng.

Suddenly he heard a burst of laughter coming from next door, which made his frown twitch.

In the back hall next door, Chongzhen was lying on a recliner, watching videos on his matepad, and eating a bunch of cumin-scented mutton skewers in his hand.

Gao Yushun behind him was holding a small electric fan to blow the air.

"Your Majesty, there is a letter from the south. Zheng Zhilong has received your Majesty's order and expressed that he will cooperate with your Majesty and let the Dutch merchant ships with the Emperor's logo pass through.

And we will arrange for Zheng Zhibao to arrive in Tianjin by sea around March 15th, and it will be completed."

"I have received it. I will record it in detail and send someone to bring it over. Over."

"March 15th? It's quite a coincidence that we came here. We can show them the first batch of bicycles and the first batch of internal officer trainees equipped with new firearms."

Chongzhen muttered a few words, and another internal official came. After receiving Gao Yushun's signal, he came to him.

"Your Majesty, where is your Majesty..."

After the report was completed, Chongzhen also learned about the queen's actions.

"Queen, Queen, you are my good wife, but your father is not worried at all. I hope he won't be too desperate, and I won't bother to close the grain store."

Zhou Kui's temperament can be seen from the weird behavior in history. It is impossible for him to sell the increased grain at a low price. Therefore, Chongzhen could only hope that he would close the door so that he could clean it up later and not be criticized by others.

Favoring his own family members made the queen sad.

"Chongzhen: The shop owner, Zheng Zhilong has been contacted, and the plan is going well."

"Chen Ye: Just hold on tight. You will feel much more comfortable as long as you regard Zheng Zhilong as a mercenary."

Give him money, Zheng Zhilong, who is very capable. Later, ask him to send some people to train your navy, and you can build up your navy seeds."

"Chongzhen: Mercenaries? That's really appropriate."

When Chongzhen heard this term, he was deeply impressed.

The next morning, Chen Ye, who transferred to Tokyo and flew for more than 20 hours, got off the plane at JFK Airport with sleepy eyes.

Walking to the carousel, holding the boarding pass and thinking for a while, Chen Ye patted his head.

"I didn't check it in the first place!"

At the immigration check-in gate, I waited in line for a while before I got to him.

"The purpose of coming to America is why I don't have any luggage."

"I like the history of the Civil War and want to invest tens of millions. As for the luggage, I am here for fun. A friend will provide me with itinerary arrangements in the United States."

"Please tell me the information about the friend you mentioned."

Chen Ye suddenly regretted that he would have pretended to get a suitcase if he had known it.

Isn’t it said that the U.S. Customs releases investors immediately?

Fortunately, after asking a few more questions, I finally stamped his visa and put him in.

As soon as I walked out of the exit, I saw Lewis at the exit corresponding to the flight. As expected, this guy arrived a little earlier than him.

"Hehehe, Chen, you must be surprised, why am I so much faster than you?

That’s because I bought a direct flight to Newark. This flight only lasts fourteen hours. I even went home to eat and sleep before picking you up. How about it?”

"Okay, you win, what's the next plan?"

Chen Ye followed Luvis into his car.

"First, I will take you to some of the best law firms in New York and hire some professional lawyers that you can choose.

Then my company and I will work out the procedures for setting up a company in the United States and the matters that need to be handled for you.

Then invite a few Ni brothers to be your company employees. This is a necessary procedure for starting a company. They are cheap, reliable, and not expensive, at least not expensive."

"I never imagined that one day I would be able to provide jobs and build America."

Chen Ye listened to the arrangement and laughed to himself. As for hiring black people, he didn't mind. He knew that hiring a few black people would definitely be good for the company even though he was not in the United States.

At least, you don’t have to worry about your company’s office supplies being targeted by zero-dollar shopping parties?

"Okay, by the way, according to this arrangement today, my film company must be set up as soon as possible. I can't wait to invest."

"Don't worry, from the moment you land, your schedule will be full, and I will bring you to meet many important people who are interested in you.

Especially the governor of Texas, when he heard that you wanted to fund the Veterans Association, he asked me to introduce you to them. These are the lists and locations, as well as their political leanings."

"You even made notes on this tendency? Well, I am more and more satisfied with your service now."

After carefully looking through the list in his hand, Chen Ye chose the governor of Texas and a party at the New York Financial Services Center.

Remaining time.

"Oh my God, you actually spent four consecutive days on vacation in different locations, experiencing different styles and characteristics?"

"Yes, didn't you provide a choice?"

"This is for you to choose one. It seems that I was wrong. I should only show you the business arrangement. If you do this, we will lose money."

"Loss money???"

"Oh, it's nothing. Take a closer look. Oh my god, you have to customize various props and start a company. How can you not meet more friends? Do you think American speed is Chinese speed???"

Chen Ye looked at what Luvis suddenly said, thought about it, and planned two vacation projects.

He suddenly understood how this guy Luvis got his connections.

It seems that I have heard a lot about the deeds of someone who traveled among various big shots and took advantage of the mutual need between the big shots to earn benefits and favor from both parties.

But he didn't feel disgusted. Compared with this method, it was the most annoying thing when he couldn't find the temple gate while carrying the pig's head.

"Okay, but I'm not interested in many people here. I still like those mining bosses, giants who sell grain, and those who shoot war movies and make props for war movies."

"OK, no problem at all."

After following Lewis around for a while, and finally negotiating with a lawyer, Chen Ye began to plan his trip to the United States.

…Ming Dynasty.

"Retreat!"
