"Your Majesty, Shi Lang's navy is in Quanzhou. If there is something wrong in Guangzhou, he cannot provide reinforcements at any time. If Your Majesty does not allow me to mobilize troops to serve the king, he should let him approach Guangzhou. Only in this way can the ministers fight with confidence." Li Dingguo insisted on his opinion.

"No need. Ning Yu, Zhang Yuanzi's 70,000 troops are not vegetarians. Even if Jiergalang can fight, it will take one year to conquer Jiujiang, Nanchang and Ganzhou. I have time to arrange it calmly. Shi Lang's navy cannot move in Quanzhou, and I still have to beware of the Qing navy landing on the coast of Zhejiang. Needless to say, Ning Yu, you only remember one thing, I will not be able to take risks easily, and I will cherish my life. You, just fight with confidence, even if you hear the dangerous news of Guangzhou, you must be confident and not take care of my safety, so as not to affect the progress of the entire battle. In short, I firmly believe that our monarchs and ministers will definitely meet successfully in Nanzhili." Zhu Youlang said firmly.

Seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, Li Dingguo did not dare to say anything else, so he had to quit.

Zhu Youlang looked at Li Dingguo's back and thought to himself: "Li Dingguo is loyal and commendable, but he is too careful. No matter how hard Jiergalang can fight, he cannot fight to Guangzhou. I'm afraid that when he fights to Guangzhou, Nanzhili will be out of protection."

...

The war was covered with clouds, and the air in Guangzhou seemed to be filled with a tense atmosphere.

The court was busy, and all the ministries were preparing for the war. The officials of all sizes, including eunuchs and maids, trot all the way, for fear of missing the emperor's errands.

Zhu Youlang was also devoted to the stressful affairs without exception.

Wang Wentao's family was very happy. He thought that Suzhou was in a fall and the family would never meet again, but he didn't expect that there would be a day to reunite with the whole family. Therefore, when meeting with his parents, brothers and sister-in-law, he cried with joy.

After Zhu Youlang asked Wang Wentao, he learned that the Wang Huacheng brothers had put a lot of effort into rescuing their family to escape from the cage. Especially Wang Huaping, who spent a lot of gold and silver, kept staring at Suzhou, so he became familiar with the Qing court in Suzhou.

Zhu Youlang is very familiar with Wang Huacheng's move. The arrival of Wang Wentao's family can ensure that their Wang family will remain favored and that his official career will be prosperous.

Zhu Youlang is not very disgusted with royal relatives. There are many examples of royal relatives taking power in history, but basically they act as a domineering when the imperial power is stable. When the national crisis is in danger, they often accompany you to the end because they are very clear that they and the royal family share the same fate of honor and disgrace. It is better if you are good, and I will never be better if you are bad. That's the reason.

For example, his brother-in-law Wang Weijia, in real history, although he had no talent for governance and no ability to lead troops, he was always with Zhu Youlang until he died of illness in Myanmar.

This phenomenon is similar to that of family businesses in later generations.

At the beginning of entrepreneurship, key departments often use their relatives because they are sincere. Only when the company is done well, grows bigger, and makes money will it be possible for the situation of severity and fighting in the nest.

The wealth is touching.

Although he believed this, Zhu Youlang still did not grant Wang Wentao and his son actual position, but only granted Wang Wentao a third-class nephew, with the title of Anle.

The reason why Wang Wentao was not allowed to enter the officialdom is that Wang Chang already had a son, and Wang Wentao was different from Chen Jitai and Dai Rufeng. He was meticulous and had been in the officialdom for a long time and was well versed in the secrets of officialdom struggles. If he had given him a certain amount of power, there would be unexpected problems in the future.

For everyone's good, it's better to plan early.

If you are granted a title, you will be honored and happy for a lifetime, you will be enough. Don’t participate in power struggles.

Wang Huaping looked very smart, not impatient, and had a steady temperament. Zhu Youlang had a good impression of him.

"Wu Ping, have you read a book?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"Your Majesty, Caomin has been reading for several years. However, Caomin is not interested in reading and learning, and is very concerned about wealth and goods." Wang Huaping replied very simply.

When Zhu Youlang heard this, he looked at Wang Huaping with admiration.

"This shows that he doesn't want to be an official, but wants to be a businessman." Zhu Youlang thought: "That's right, his family has Wang Huacheng, a prince, and if someone enters the officialdom, it's basically a way to cause trouble. Wang Er is a smart person."

"Well, since I have no ambition to the officialdom, I will not force it. It is also good to do business and revitalize my family business. In my concept, the status of a businessman is not low, and he will make greater contributions to national construction in the future." Zhu Youlang encouraged.

"The grass-roots people will definitely live up to the emperor's expectations and will definitely be a law-abiding businessman." Wang Huaping replied.

"Winning the screen, I suddenly remembered something. Liu Rushi, do you know?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"When I replied to the emperor, Caomin knew that he was one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai. Later, he married Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi was implicated in the Humble Administrator's Garden in Suzhou because of his friend's affairs. Liu Rushi was arrested by the Tartars in the Humble Administrator's Garden. Liu Rushi kept following him. A few days ago, he heard that Liu Rushi died of illness. Qian Qianyi later disappeared and the Humble Administrator's Garden was idle. When people in Suzhou talked about this, they sighed and said that their beauty was poor and had no future blessings." Wang Huaping replied.

When Zhu Youlang heard this, it was exactly the same as Lin Tian’s situation, and thought to himself: “It seems that Liu Rushi’s death from illness should be fine.”

Afterwards, Zhu Youlang gave Wang Wentao a house as the Earl's Mansion and rewarded Wang Huaping with some gold and silver.

...

After more than ten days of ten days, the military generals such as Li Dingguo, Zhang Jiayu, Li Chengdong, Shi Lang, and other civil officials, as well as Chen Bowen, Wang Huacheng, He Tengjiao, and He Wuzuo, left Sui one after another. Zhu Youlang felt a little relieved.

In addition, there is also an exciting news. With the help of Jiao Ni, Xu Zhi finally successfully produced live lead type. This key technology has been solved, marking that movable type printing is about to be on the right track, and Zhu Youlang's long-awaited newspaper is about to be released.

Newspapers are mouthpieces, and they have an irreplaceable role in uniting people's hearts. Especially when the war is approaching, the role of newspapers is particularly prominent.

Zhu Youlang brought Guizhuang to him and explained in detail how to run the newspaper. He also wrote the registration for the "Da Ming Weekly".

The reason why it is made into a weekly newspaper rather than a daily newspaper is mainly because the talent problem has not been solved.

The current information is mainly obtained by the imperial court newspapers, and Zhu Youlang does not want to make the newspapers in a similar style to the imperial newspapers. He wants to make the newspapers more close to the people and more close to the city life. Only in this way can the audience be more widespread.
