    Chapter 2761 Capital (one hundred and fourteen)

    "So we have to focus on exporting culture, to culture!" Leng Ningyun said more and more enthusiastically, "and scientific knowledge! The Senate's current export of science and technology is still too conservative, either all basic theoretical knowledge, or completely  It's an outdated thing. The former is similar to Kangxi's study of mathematics, and is purely a 'thing' for rich people to show off their skills; although the latter can make money, it is still too shallow for knowledgeable people."

    ¡°You¡¯ve come back with an open mind,¡± Xu Xu said jokingly.

    "No, over the years I have been thinking about how to transform traditional society. We talk all kinds of nonsense on the Senate Forum, but in fact we don't get to the point. We Chinese are actually the most pragmatic. No matter what science, technology and culture we have, we must see what it has.  There is no output. 'A black cat or a white cat is a good cat if it can catch mice.' If you want to spread technology and culture, you must first let everyone realize that your set of things is profitable."

    "But if this happens, won't no one care about basic subjects?"

    Leng Ningyun was startled and couldn't help laughing: "This is the Ming Dynasty in 1637. Most of the people don't even have enough to eat. If they go to bed at night, they don't know whether they will lose their lives tomorrow. Even if they are officials, as long as they  Those who have a clear mind and can understand the general trend are all worried and thinking about saving the nation. If you want them to learn basic science, isn't it difficult for them to do so?"

    "But if you want to spread the word, people have to spread it to you"

    "Of course, this must be obtained on the battlefield." Leng Ningyun said, "A few days ago, I reviewed the history of the late Qing Dynasty. Speaking of which, the scenes in the last years of the dynasty are all familiar. The Qing government also started to treat foreign culture and technology from a very early stage.  Crow's fear led to Erya's introduction and introduction, and eventually the Westernization Movement was launched. This is a process."

    "You mean if we fight another war, Ming Dynasty will launch a military campaign?"

    "Yes, there are many knowledgeable people in the government and the public. I have been in the capital for a long time, and I deeply feel that the late Ming Dynasty is not so sluggish and conservative than the late Qing Dynasty, and social ideological trends are much more active. Of course, there are many pedantic, stubborn and self-proclaimed scholar-officials, but the knowledge  There are also many people with broad and enlightened consciousness." Leng Ningyun said, "There are more and more people like Li Luoyou in recent years. The idea is simple, just thinking about using Kungun and Kunpao, and learning from Kun's skills.  Make Kun; those who are more knowledgeable have already had a certain feeling for our advantages in technology, system, and culture"

    "There are many people who know that we have advantages. For example, Liang Cunhou. Logically speaking, he knows it best. Now he has become the number one anti-Kun element, and is intensively instigating the anti-Kun restoration in Guangzhou"

    "You may not necessarily accept it if you see it clearly. Every system will have its martyrs. Liang Cunhou just had the idea of ????defending the Chinese barbarians and was unwilling to give in. In fact, if you read the history of the late Qing Dynasty, you will see that those who opposed Westernization  Clean conservatives have always existed. Conservatives and progressives, this is an eternal struggle."

    "Okay, let's not talk about dialectics anymore." Xu Xu became interested, "What are you going to do?"

    "Of course I can't do anything now. An approach like Zhao Yingong's is too ostentatious and eye-catching. Although the results are great, it's all thanks to the support of the special reconnaissance team that he didn't mess up. I'm in the capital, even more  I don't dare anymore." Leng Ningyun shook his head and said, "My opinion is that in the future, the Senate must take Tianjin as an open port. In the past few years, we have opened up the north-south shipping, and Tianjin is much more developed than in the past, and it can be used as a future port.  An important penetration point of our new culture and new system.¡±

    "When the third counter-encirclement and suppression campaign is successful, you will still make trouble in the capital."

    "It may be possible to stir up trouble, but I don't have the guts to do what Zhao Yingong did." Leng Ningyun said with a smile, "Unless the chief minister of the cabinet is Wang Luobin, the chief minister of etiquette is Xiao Zishan, and the admiral of Dongchang is Ma Qianxu"

    The two of them burst into laughter.  The laughter faded and Leng Ningyun said: "It seems too much to say that nothing can be done. If the third counter-encirclement and suppression campaign creates a situation that is very beneficial to us, I would like to formally invest in running a newspaper. In fact, now everyone in the capital has  There are many Zhongdichao and tabloid-like things, and some of them are propaganda materials transported through the five channels of Shanhai. It is very popular in the capital and is circulated in every teahouse. But after all, it is not the same thing as a newspaper."

    "Good guy, you are trying to steal Tintin's job."

    "If he is willing to come to the capital to run a newspaper, I would welcome him. After all, professionals have to rely on his system." Leng Ningyun said, "Reforms and revolutions require the support of the news media. At least, it can also serve as an enlightenment.  If we really do it, sales will not be a problem. Ding Ding will still have to send me a banner."

    Xu Xu liked his humorous and cheerful attitude very much. Now that he had mentioned this, he also happened to talk to him about the positioning of the future Capital Station.

    "Before I came, the center andWe talked about it and talked about the issue of the designation of Jingshi Station.  After discussing it, I felt that in the past, you were somewhat dangerous in balancing business and intelligence, and you couldn't take care of it mentally.  So after the discussion, I'd like you to focus on running your business and collecting public information, and keep it separate from secret work.  This is not just Delong, every shop on Shanhai 5th Road does this.  "

    Leng Ningyun nodded: ¡°I also think this is more appropriate.¡±

    "That's right, secret intelligence and covert operations are handled by specialized intelligence agencies. There are chickens laying golden eggs in the mountains and seas. It's not worth the risk." Xu Xu said, "In the future, the Foreign Intelligence Bureau will work in another area of ????the capital.  Arrange a site. There is no horizontal contact between you, it is all vertical contact."

    "Okay." Leng Ningyun suddenly thought of something, "Where's He Liansheng?"

    "They are still doing their old job, doing security work. Jiang Shan and I have also discussed it. It is not appropriate for He Liansheng to be involved in too many secret operations. Firstly, it goes against the moral values ??of their group, and secondly, the people in the escort agency are too  complex."

    Yang Tianliang has not thought about food or food these past few days, and has not even gone to his "work" place.

    His official position is the manager of the factory, and he is considered to be "one of the best" among the eunuchs.  But this position is far from satisfying his desires.

    As the name suggests, the Sutra Factory is the place where books are printed in the royal palace, mainly the collection of classics and history and Buddhist and Taoist scriptures.  Although in terms of affiliation, it was managed by the most powerful yamen, the Si Li Jian, among the twenty-four yamen, the eunuchs who were in charge did not enjoy any power dividends.

    Of course, there are benefits to all kinds of bad rules and benefits, but these are all fixed quotas, and you cannot get more.  If he wanted to make extra money, he would just resell the books and plates in stock. Yang Tianliang didn't like this small amount of labor and effort.

    But the adoptive father¡¯s ability doesn¡¯t stop there.  When Jiu Qiansui was in power, he almost didn't even keep this job. If he hadn't seen the opportunity quickly and bribed the members of the eunuch party in time, the two father and son would have been kicked out long ago.

    After the current emperor came to power, Eunuch Yang finally managed to get a job as the head of the Department of Bells and Drums by virtue of his old connections. However, Yang Tianliang wanted to go further, but it was difficult to reach the sky.

    He worked hard and finally got Wang Zhixin's promise, and the bright road was laid in front of him in an instant.

    However, the 20,000 taels of silver became a roadblock.  He originally thought that his adoptive father would generously support his future, but he did not expect that what he got in exchange was a scolding, telling him to "stop wishful thinking" and "do honest work as a serious job."

    Yang Tianliang was filled with resentment.  There has been a rift between father and son for several years.  From the initial incident with the Gao family's silver to the recent series of events in which his adoptive father forbade him from dealing with Delong anymore, the relationship between the two has gradually faded away.  I originally thought that my adoptive father would be able to help me with such a matter involving my future, but I didn't expect that he would be so decisive!

    So he thought of Liu Zhen and wanted to ask him about any opportunities to make money.  During their chat, the two told each other about the deposit of 100,000 taels of silver that Eunuch Yang had made to Delong.  Liu Zheng expressed great interest.

    "My adoptive father was unkind to me by not giving him money, and Delong's shopkeeper Leng was unjust by refusing to lend me money."  This unkind and unjust man should use his money wisely.  Yang Tianliang and Liu Zhen hit it off immediately and started planning kidnapping and extortion.

    "This is not the first time they have done this "asking the God of Wealth" thing.  But after all, the matter involved Eunuch Yang, and Leng Ningyun was quite a figure in the capital.  No matter how bold and daring Yang Tianliang is, he still has to weigh it carefully.  Unexpectedly, Liu Wei patted his chest and told him not to worry, "If the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up."

    Yang Tianliang didn¡¯t know who this ¡°tall man¡± was.  But seeing that Liu Ming was confident, he naturally believed it.  After the two conspired, they roped in several more people and prepared the Ningyou Temple in Xiyuan as a place to hide the tickets.

    With some planning, everything goes smoothly.  Leng Ningyun was "invited" smoothly, and the next step was to wait for the money.  One hundred thousand taels is certainly a big deal for a lion, but there is indeed exactly one hundred thousand taels in Delong's bank.

    During these days, Yang Tianliang was really walking with wind.  He was thinking over and over in his mind that after receiving the money, Eunuch Yang "died of a sudden illness", and he officially entered the Royal Horse Prison as a servant, and his adoptive father's savings over the past few decades were also obtained - he did not know the specific amount of this money, but  Let's say at least 70,000 to 80,000.

    ¡°I never thought that all my wishful thinking would come to nothing. Not only was Ningyou Temple attacked, Leng Ningyun was rescued, and even Liu Zhen disappeared.  He sent a young eunuch to contact Liu Zhen in Tongzhou, and waited for several days in "Hou Yuan" without meeting anyone.

    "This Liu Zheng, could it be that he sold me?!" Yang Tianliang was secretly frightened.  But on second thought it didn't seem to make sense.  What would he gain by selling himself?

    What worries him most is Eunuch Yang¡¯s attitude.  If his adoptive father knew that he was planning to get rid of him, it would be easy for him to lose his job and have a difficult life due to his power in the palace.  When Wang Zhixin saw that he couldn't get the money, he would treat him like garbage!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­An easy thing to do.  When Wang Zhixin saw that he couldn't get the money, he would treat him like garbage!
