Tremble, mortals!

"Don't forget that you still have to wait for me to marry you." After holding back for a long time, Zhu Hongjing said this sentence.After all, as a member of the royal family, Gong Jiu's marriage was controlled by Zhu Hongjing to a certain extent.At this time, it can be regarded as a point of counterattack, right?

Patting Zhu Hongjing on the shoulder, Gong Jiu smiled, "Brother Huang, why are you so naive?" Not everyone can cosplay Wu Xie, okay?Fortunately, Zhu Hongjing is still the emperor, and in the eyes of the public, he is a model of the three thousand wine pools and meat forests in the harem. To be honest, the relationship between men and women is a bondage for Zhu Hongjing, and he must not be casual.Gong Jiu's situation is much better than Zhu Hongjing's, at least there won't be a group of people staring at the strange woman who stuffed him with unknown thoughts, right?He can occasionally go to places like Chu Yaoxian to drink some flower wine or something, Zhu Hongjing, even a maid in the palace, dare not take a second look.

Zhu Hongjing felt subtly ashamed for letting this incomprehensible guy say he was naive.

"Really, in fact, if you accept that woman, it's really a good choice."

"A good choice for a fire in the backyard?" Zhu Hongjing replied unceremoniously to Gong Jiu.

Shangguan Feiyan's thoughts were deep, and both of them knew it well. Compared to the deceived people in the world who really thought that Shangguan Feiyan was the Danfeng Princess of the Jinpeng Dynasty, they knew exactly what Shangguan Feiyan was.Moreover, even though Shangguan Feiyan will only be one of the concubines in the harem, Zhu Hongjing still has a hurdle that cannot be overcome.

Don't forget, Shangguan Feiyan is no longer a girl, but a woman.

How could the emperor's concubine be so unfaithful that she recommended herself as a pillow before she got married?In addition, Zhu Hongjing himself was still a beginner, so naturally he paid more attention to this aspect.

"Brother Huang, don't tell me that you really think you can't suppress her?" Zhu Hongjing's methods, if he really couldn't deal with Shangguan Feiyan, would be rather strange.

"Hmph!" Zhu Hongjing just responded like this.

So, in fact, to deal with someone like Zhu Hongjing, you just need to grasp his arrogant temperament and make sure of it.Gong Jiu thought so calmly.I happened to think of another matter, so I said, "By the way, I also want to ask, how do you plan to solve the problem over the South China Sea?"

Daming has a vast coastline. However, apart from a few big ports, this long coastline doesn't seem to be able to help the empire.On the contrary, it is because of the increase of saline-alkali land near the sea that farming cannot be carried out, making the coastal areas barren.Comparing the large ports with overseas trade and other coastal places, the gap between rich and poor is astonishing.Social conflicts are growing and breeding.On the other hand, overseas Japanese pirates are rampant, and the Ye family, who is a descendant of the former emperor, also feels somewhat covetous.This can be regarded as Zhu Hongjing's confidant's trouble.

In fact, it is very simple to solve such a problem. No matter what kind of problem it is, all it needs is a closed country to solve it.

But seclusion is definitely not what Gong Jiu wants to see.Treating the symptoms but not the root cause will only gradually and completely kill the vitality of a nation.Therefore, he wants to guide Zhu Hongjing.

Seeing Gong Jiu's appearance, he had an idea, Zhu Hongjing asked him kindly: "What's your idea?"

Gong Jiu: "Well, actually, I have an idea about fishermen."

The poverty of fishermen is well known to all. Quite simply, the fish that fishermen catch can only be eaten by themselves in most cases.It is basically impossible for ordinary fishermen to transport fish over long distances.Live fish are unlucky due to water and food constraints.Dead fish will rot quickly.This is especially true for fishermen who live by the sea.Therefore, marine fisheries cannot be developed, and places such as the seaside naturally become desolate places.It is actually rare to see such developed coastal ports as in the Ming Dynasty.

For the oceans to truly thrive, fisheries must evolve.For fisheries to develop, the problem of long-distance transport of fish must be solved.

In this era when it is impossible to make large-scale and cheap ice and lack anti-corrosion methods, the best choice is actually to make fish jerky, fish floss, and salted fish.

Gong Jiu poured out all his thoughts to Zhu Hongjing, including the salted fish that he shouldn't have said.

Don't think that making salted fish is a trivial matter.Salted fish may be just a kind of food, but in this era when the salt and iron tax is the main fiscal revenue of the country, everything related to salt should not be underestimated!Salted fish is equivalent to meat and salt. If it appears in the market on a large scale, it can directly affect the country's fiscal revenue and shake the rule of a country!

In fact, in history, although Chinese salted fish was invented in the Spring and Autumn Period, it has never been widely spread.It wasn't until the country stopped using the salt tax as a mainstay of income that it really became a popular food for the masses - incredible, isn't it?

Therefore, when Gong Jiu mentioned the problem of salted fish, Zhu Hongjing was surprised at first.In his impression all the time, Gong Jiu was not a person with much talent, strategy, or intelligence. However, what Gong Jiu said at this time can be said to be a strategy to shake the country. Can you figure it out?He had known him for so many years, but he suddenly became a stranger... Immediately, he hesitated again.He knew that what Gong Jiu said would indeed enable the development of Daming's fishing industry, thereby strengthening the imperial court's control over the sea and suppressing Ye's lineage.However, salt, this is not something that can be easily moved.

Zhu Hongjing wants to gain power, he has too many hegemonic plans, but even so, he still hesitates when faced with such a big matter.

Gong Jiu saw it.

"I suspect that you are not the Zhu Hongjing I know."

Zhu Hongjing was stunned by such a sentence, looked at Gong Jiu, and answered after a while: "Why do you think so?"

Gong Jiu glanced at him out of the corner of his eye: "Can you prove that you are the Zhu Hongjing I know?"

"Isn't this obvious? In the Forbidden City, there are still people who can pretend to be me?" Feeling that Gong Jiu was looking for something to say, Zhu Hongjing shook his head and replied.

"There are all kinds of wonders in the world. At least I think if Sikong Zaixing changed his appearance into Zhu Hongjing's appearance, not many people in the whole palace would be able to find the problem." Gong Jiu raised a possibility.Although what he wanted to talk about was the son of Prince Nan who looked almost exactly the same as Zhu Hongjing.Remember that guy seems to have colluded with a trusted person around Zhu Hongjing in an attempt to directly replace Zhu Hongjing?It's been so long, Gong Jiu can't remember who the collusion is.

"You said you were Zhu Hongjing, did you? Who can prove it!?"

"Wang An, Xie Jia and the others can prove that I am me." Zhu Hongjing immediately gave evidence.

"Hey, they are with you, of course they will help you." With a sigh of disdain, Gong Jiu directly dismissed Zhu Hongjing's evidence.

"...Then how do you want me to prove it?"

"Look, you can't even prove yourself that you are Zhu Hongjing. How dare you say you are Zhu Hongjing?" Gong Jiu laughed, a mean smile.

This nonsense made Zhu Hongjing have an urge to raise his fist to beat this kid up.

However, in the next sentence, Gong Jiu said: "The Zhu Hongjing I know is not a guy who hesitates and twitches like a woman. He should be decisive, thoughtful, and almost omnipotent." Yes." There was sincerity in the words.

Zhu Hongjing, who was still thinking about how to deal with this incomprehensible guy, couldn't react for a while after hearing this sentence.Is it going to rain red?Gong Jiu boasted himself once in a different way?

Look at each other's eyes, serious and clean, not like joking at all.

Suddenly, Zhu Hongjing felt moved.

Yes, at this moment, Zhu Hongjing felt touched.To be so trusted and boasted, no matter who you are, you will feel a warmth in your heart, right?Even if Gong Jiu is a scoundrel, shameless, stubborn, wanting face, unreasonable, narcissistic, neurotic, eccentric, narrow-minded... No, why is he moved when Gong Jiu is like this?Could it be that after being tortured by this guy for a long time, the other party behaved a little better and was fooled?Zhu Hongjing instantly woke up.

"Of course I do." Raising his jaw slightly, Zhu Hongjing reminded himself with a proud address, don't be fooled by Gong Jiu again.

"Okay, if you say you're fat, you're still out of breath." With a slap on Zhu Hongjing's back, Gong Jiu rolled his eyes at Zhu Hongjing, "Brother, are those martial arts people around you enough? ?” Think about the time when Ye Gucheng chased and killed Zhu Hongjing in the original book, if Zhu Hongjing hadn’t been delayed by a large group of martial arts masters protecting him openly and secretly, he might have been killed.In order to avoid any accident due to her butterfly effect, Gong Jiu still couldn't help asking.

He couldn't remember how many masters Zhu Hongjing had recruited, but to be honest, Gong Jiu had never seen Zhu Hongjing looking for masters.At this time, I naturally asked a question.

However, Zhu Hongjing noticed a detail.

Just now, Gong Jiu didn't call him brother Huang, or cousin.It's like a folk brother, but he actually said "brother".

Feeling a little uncomfortable in himself, but also feeling good, Zhu Hongjing didn't know how to react, so he could only pretend that he didn't notice this little difference, and answered Gong Jiu in a mysterious way: "What do you think? What I have to do, Naturally, it is arranged." A moment ago, he was deliberately talking about Zhen, but now he has returned to my self-proclaimed name.

Gong Jiu, oh Gong Jiu, speaking of it, he is really Zhu Hongjing's nemesis.

Zhu Hongjing himself knew this, so he could only sigh helplessly.Anyway, based on his understanding of Gong Jiu, he knows that Gong Jiu just likes to take advantage of his mouth and has no ambitions. Instead, he is more interested in a leisurely life.

He also thought seriously for the first time, whether he really wanted to follow Gong Jiu's suggestion and simply let Shangguan Feiyan act as his shield?Think of it as adding a decoration in the harem, anyway, I have already made up my mind that I will not touch her, so there is no problem of this woman being unclean, right?
