Chapter 76: Cooking Oil on Fire (Part 2)

Going to Japan to beg for teachers was a policy adopted by the Ming Dynasty when the situation deteriorated sharply after the Qing army entered the customs, and the Ming Dynasty chose to seek assistance from foreign countries as a last resort. This policy was adopted by the Zheng Group in the Lujian Dynasty, Longwu Dynasty, and Yongli Dynasty.

There have been developments. This is all due to the fact that the Zhejiang people in the King Lu system and the Zheng Group in Fujian have relatively close business relations with Japan, just like the Yongli imperial court incident that Chen Kai learned about when he returned from Guangzhou.

There is not much difference in nature between the two matters when the Holy See seeks assistance.

Since Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Chenggong both had a policy of going to Japan to seek advice before Chen Kai arrived, Chen Kai had denied this after he established a foothold in the Zheng Group.

Whether Zheng Chenggong listened to it or not, and whether he would continue to implement it this time, it is actually difficult to say, but it has to be said that Feng Chengshi proposed it at this time, and together with the coin minting plan, he was still trying his best to maintain it on the Chaozhou battlefield.

For this army in the southern Fujian battlefield, which was eager to seek a breakthrough, it was indeed a boost of confidence.

Zheng Chenggong needs to inform Chen Kai about the coinage, because many of the ores and metals needed by the Ming army still come from Chaozhou. And with the development of coinage, the shortage of copper materials is inevitable. In this regard, if Chen Kai

Kai can think of a way, which is not a small addition.

When he received the news, Chen Kai was inspecting the work on Nan'ao Island. Zheng Chenggong won the victory at Xiaoyingling, which in turn triggered Zhangpu. Anyway, this is an excellent thing. Even Feng Chengshi proposed to mint coins, and Chen Kai agreed.

However, Chen Kai still needs time to think about the production of copper materials.

There are some things that cannot be helped. When Chen Kai was in charge of the Ordnance Bureau, although the amount of copper used in weapons and armor was pitiful, a huge amount of copper was consumed just to copy the spirit gun. Zheng Chenggong's income from sea trade in those years was

Most of the copper material is filled in here.

In Chaozhou Prefecture, the really large-scale mineral deposits are silver, lead, zinc, iron and coal. It is not that there is no copper, Chengxiang has a lot of it, and it seems to be a rich mine. However, Chengxiang now has the surname Hao.

He doesn't have many options for the time being.

Regarding this matter, Chen Kai is more inclined to suggest that Zheng Chenggong increase his collection of sea trade and use his original sea trade advantages to promote coinage. For the time being, this is all he can do.

Returning to Nan'ao Island, things and people on the island have changed. Feng Chengshi relocated the Ordnance Bureau, and a large number of craftsmen and their families took boats to Zhongzuo Suo. Not only many private houses were vacant, many workshops also had to be idle.

After that, the future industrial center at the junction of Fujian and Guangdong also experienced rapid deterioration due to the change of persons in charge. From another perspective, it also witnessed the fact that the strategic focus of the Fujian Ming Army shifted.

Jobs have been greatly reduced, a large number of private houses are idle, and Nan'ao Island's economy is in a state of comprehensive recession. Regarding this, Chen Kai did not care about these for the time being, but came to the school affiliated with the Ordnance Bureau and listened to the reading.

The sound made me feel relieved.

Feng Chengshi didn’t move to Zhongzuo School for some unknown reason. Whether he didn’t look down on the mathematics and physics talents that Chen Kai had intensified his efforts to train, or it was just too late for the time being. It didn’t matter anymore. He had already written a letter to

Zheng Chenggong wanted to separate the school affiliated to the Ordnance Bureau from the name of the Ordnance Bureau.

This is the future. If it is placed in the hands of a feudal bureaucrat like Feng Chengshi, Chen Kai feels that it is a huge waste of resources!

After the inspection, we returned to the main town. It seems that this is the only place on the entire island that has not changed much. It is not a busy military affairs, so it cannot be compared with when Zheng Chenggong was still there, but at least it has been since Zheng Chenggong entered Chaozhou.

It has been like this in the past few years; a small army is practicing in the martial arts field, and it is still vigorous. This is part of Chen Bao's Nan'ao Town. In the previous battle, Nan'ao Town performed quite well.

, not good but not bad either. In the final analysis, no matter how much you train, killing someone once on the battlefield is more practical.

This time, Chen Kai did not go to see Chen Bao. Instead, he came to the garden. Stepping into it and standing sideways in the small pavilion, the beautiful woman seemed to be sitting opposite, listening to his eloquent talk. Unfortunately, things are different and people are different.

, even he doesn't have time to worry about that marriage for the time being.

Just let everything happen.

After leaving the garden and returning to the small courtyard, there were three of the original four servants left. Chen Song, the young servant, went to the government office to work, while these three people were still busy packing their things and preparing to go with them this time.

Go to Chaozhou with Chen Kai.

"It's such a pity that I can't continue to eat at the main town house."

When Chen Kai came back this time, he joked to Chen Bao, and the latter also laughed at it, as if he couldn't do anything about Chen Kai's temper. Who would have thought that when Chen Kai first landed on the island, Chen Bao was the most mean to him?

I gnashed my teeth in hatred.

"Sir, dinner will be ready soon."

"Well, when you're done, call me in the study."

Most of the books in the study have been packed and sealed, and many of his belongings in the courtyard will be moved to Zheng Chenggong's residence in Chaozhou, which is the Chaohui branch of the Yamen that was renovated from Che Renzhong's original residence. Chen Kai

He picked up a book he had written himself from the case. It was a reading note, a sort of classification of the books he had read on Western science and technology over the years.

Flipping over and over, he reached a page with complex graphics. Chen Kai flipped forward a few more pages, starting from the beginning of this relevant content, until the maid came to tell him that dinner was ready.

, and then put it down again.

The dinner was very sumptuous, and the cook obviously used all her tricks to look after the house. After all, this was their last dinner in Nan'ao Town Hall. They would follow Chen Kai north to Chaozhou City early tomorrow morning. It was estimated that they would be there by the time they arrived.

New Year's Eve is approaching, and next year, which is the Spring Festival of the sixth year of Yongli, they should spend it in the branch office of Chaozhou Fucheng. This also has an invisible pressure on them.

After dinner, Chen Kai went to wash up as usual. After everything was done, he stopped reading. He asked someone to pack up the last books in the study, and then went back to his room.

Lying in bed, it was difficult to fall asleep. For ordinary people, the sixth year of Yongli might not be much different from the fifth year of Yongli, but Chen Kai knew very well that this was originally a year in the history of Nanming.

The most important year. Many earth-shaking events will occur in this year, and these events will also profoundly affect the development of the current situation in future generations.

How to proceed better, Chen Kai is still pondering. Judging from the current situation in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and from the Fujian Ming army where he and Zheng Chenggong are fighting back to back, he must ensure that Zheng Chenggong's momentum in southern Fujian is not undermined.

Interrupted by the Qing army in Guangdong. As for now, he wiped out Su Li as soon as he returned to Guangdong. It seemed that he had great potential to reverse the decline, but in fact, one Su Li left and another Huang Yingjie came; Hao Shangjiu

The threat of Guangdong is also hanging over the head like the Blade of Damocles; the biggest problem is still inside. The dispute between the natives and guests has been temporarily appeased, but how can the people of Guangzhou exert their maximum energy.

In addition, whether the history of Yongli's six years will change due to his efforts in the previous years. In addition, whether Feng Chengshi will become the next Shi Lang, these are all unpredictable possibilities.
