"There should be a stronghold in the Ming Dynasty." Yan Fei, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looked at the 70-inch TV, thought about it and decided to buy a house in the Ming Dynasty, and also prepare for the next transaction.

Before, Yan Fei sold 500 tons of salt to Beijing in the Ming Dynasty. Even the Beijing city with a large number of wealthy families was already saturated. After all, only wealthy families would consume this kind of high-quality goods. So if Yan Fei did time and space transactions again, he had to change the project.

The transaction project Yan Fei chose this time also consumed a huge amount of food, and it was a very shortage of food in Beijing in the Ming Dynasty.

Yan Fei needs money, and he needs a lot of money as a backing in both the modern world and the Ming Dynasty. Because he has to do a lot of things, everything needs to be spent.

To prevent the Qing Dynasty from entering the pass, there must be a powerful army. To pull out a powerful army in just a few months, it will inevitably require great investment. Of course, he still needs to have a suitable name before this.

It was a rebellion to run to the army without a name. Yan Fei did not care about being a rebel in the Ming Dynasty, but the premise was that it could not affect the tasks assigned to him by Dragon Soul, which was a big deal that was related to life.

Before destroying the Qing Dynasty, Yan Fei had to do the first thing he had to do was to resist the army of Li Zicheng, the king of rebellion. If this army entered Beijing, it would make Yan Fei’s previous preparations in vain. Moreover, with the large-scale extortion they carried out after entering the city, the attitude of directly raiding the house would not cooperate with Yan Fei, and the possibility of directly sacking the house was very huge.

So Yan Fei chose the Ming Dynasty court with rules and the Ming Dynasty, which could do things with just spending money.

Before going to find Fang Qianhu, Yan Fei needed to get enough silver to use it in the Ming Dynasty time and space because the people there did not recognize money but only silver.

Yan Fei purchased 2,000 tons of rice from the grain company in the name of export, and the total price of one yuan and five per catty was only 6 million. Yan Fei transported the grain to the severance of the canal transportation and the price of grain soared. The city of Beijing in the 17th year of Chongzhen, which was as high as three taels of silver per stone, was enough to sell a huge sum of nearly eighty thousand taels of silver.

Of course, Yan Fei will definitely dump at a low price. If the price is not that high, there will always be 70,000 taels. This money is enough to pay the total cost of buying an official.

After Yan Fei came to the Ming Dynasty again, he first found General Liu Qi and asked him to summon his subordinates to push carts and grain stores to sell grain. If he was seen by the Censor of the City, he would definitely be impeached. However, these Jinyiwei were doing it in full swing. That was because Yan Fei gave money and gave a lot of money.

No Jinyiwei didn't like silver, and even fought for the errand to help Yan Fei push the cart.

After deducting all expenses including paying the Jinyiwei's wages, Yan Fei bought as much as 70,000 taels. He did not exchange the money for gold, but planned to pay for his own official purchase and daily expenses.

Three days later, the news of Fang Qianhu came. He had already learned the way of the British Duke to find a quota for Yan Fei as a guerrilla general.

Originally, the military system of the Ming Dynasty was also very strict, and things like spending money to buy officials rarely occur. However, with internal and external troubles at this time, even the top scholar a few years ago could become the chief minister of the cabinet, so it became a matter of course for the people below to sell official positions.

Although the British Duke was very greedy, he was also worried that Yan Fei, who had an unknown origin, would cause trouble. So he didn't dare to give him a high position, just gave him a guerrilla general in the Firearms Battalion. Anyway, the three major battalions were controlled by the British Duke. If Yan Fei still wanted to continue to move upward, he would still have to go through the British Duke's path.

Yan Fei only needed a name, and after achieving his goal, he did not refuse at all. He directly took out three thousand taels of silver from the income from selling grain as errands and gave it to Fang Qianhu. As for the money for buying an official, he had to give it to the British Duke directly.

The purchasing power of silver in the Ming Dynasty was very strong. Five taels of silver was enough for a family to live for a long time. If it was more than a hundred taels, it would be enough to open a private house outside to raise a little girl or something. Yan Fei's 3,000 taels were thrown over, and Fang Qianhu couldn't see it. He took Yan Fei to visit the British Duke with earnestness.

The Duke of England's mansion is located next to the Forbidden City, where all the Dukes and Dukes live. Yan Fei looked at the mansion in front of him with a little surprise, and it felt like he could not see the end at first sight. The area is probably hundreds of acres, and it is on the edge of the Forbidden City. It is really a place that can't be bought with money in the modern world.

Looking at other people's houses, Yan Fei remembered that the house he bought in Fengzeyuan was simply incomparable.

The first generation of British Duke was Zhang Fu. He participated in the Jingnan Campaign and conquered Annan, that is, Vietnam changed it to Jiaoqi and incorporated it into the Ming Dynasty. He was killed in the Tumu Fort Transformation at the age of 75 and truly sacrificed his life for the country.

At this time, the British Duke was the ninth generation Zhang Shize. He inherited the British Duke's title last year and led the three major camps at the same time. He was considered an important official with the last armed force of the Ming Dynasty.

The Duke of England's mansion was very large and there were countless servants. He would definitely not be able to bear the various expenses by relying solely on salary, so drinking blood from soldiers and eating empty salary or even selling official positions became an inevitable gray income. This time Yan Fei's 30,000 taels of silver was the largest income since he inherited the title. In a good mood, Yan Fei specially asked him to come to his mansion to meet him in person.

"I've seen Duke of England in the lower house." When Yan Fei came to the main hall, he looked at a middle-aged man in a crimson bullfighting suit sitting upright on the main seat. He knew that this was the main master today, so he immediately bowed his hand to salute.

Fang Qianhu, who was standing beside him, hurriedly stepped forward to explain to the British Duke who had narrowed his eyes, saying that Yan Fei was an overseas resident who did not understand the rules of the Ming Dynasty, and asked the Duke for forgiveness.

Yan Fei naturally knew what they were saying, but he would never kneel down to salute others. He could kneel down to his parents, but others would be spared.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Yan Fei directly asked Liu Zongqi, who had been following along the way, to deliver 30,000 taels of silver.

Several Jinyiwei Lisses carried a heavy box to the main hall. After opening the box, the white silver instantly dissipated the previous unhappiness.

The British Duke, who was originally cold-faced, also smiled, nodded slightly, and looked at Yan Fei, "Zihou, although you are an overseas resident, since you admire my Ming Dynasty, you cannot disappoint you. I appointed you as the guerrilla general of the Zuoying of Shenjiying. I will be loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty in the future."

There were foreigners from all over the Ming army from all over the country and even Mongolians who often fought. Those people were called semen soldiers. There was no problem for people like Yan Fei who seemed to be authentic Chinese descent to join them.

"Yes. I will definitely serve the Ming Dynasty." Yan Fei smiled and nodded. As for what he was thinking, no one knew.

The British Duke who received tens of thousands of taels of silver was obviously not intent on keeping Yan Fei for dinner. After a brief greeting, Yan Fei said goodbye and left. Fang Qianhu and Liu Zongqi followed him step by step, as if Yan Fei had become the commander of the Jinyiwei.

Of course, they were not because Yan Fei was shocked and then bowed, but because Yan Fei had money and was generous. They were all thinking about whether they could help Yan Fei do something and make another profit.

Especially Fang Qianhu, he helped Yan Fei build a bridge and got a handling fee of 3,000 taels. He was still immersed in extreme ecstasy and excitement. The purchasing power of silver is very strong, even the courtesan of Baihua Building only costs hundreds of taels of silver in one night!

"I want to ask you two to help me." Yan Fei didn't have the time or energy to do everything himself. Since someone was willing to take the initiative to work, of course he had to use it well. "I want to buy a mansion in Beijing, and ask you two to help me."

"Zihou is now a guerrilla general, and he should have his own mansion." Fang Qianhu kept blocking Liu Zongqi who wanted to speak behind him and looked at Yan Fei with a smile. "This matter is included in me. I wonder what kind of mansion Zihou wants?"

"I don't understand these very well." Yan Fei looked at the magnificent Duke's Mansion. "If it could be the best like the Duke's Mansion, if it could satisfy me, I would also give you a lot of rewards."

"Don't worry, Zihou!" Fang Qianhu, who couldn't even close his mouth, took a big bag. "I will definitely get you a mansion that will satisfy you in three days at most!"

Yan Fei, who returned to the modern world, began to consider the issue of the army. In a few months, it was absolutely impossible to pull out an army that could fight against the Qing cavalry in a field and win the battle. The only way was to provide this army with advanced weapons and equipment that surpassed the times.

The first thing Yan Fei considered was to purchase arms. Buying a large number of arms in the arms market and bringing them to the time and space of the Ming Dynasty. If a handful of AK47 was enough to sweep the whole world of that era.

But the problem is that Yan Fei did not buy a few or dozens of pieces, but tens of thousands of arms!

The profits of the international arms market are amazing, but few private individuals can make it bigger. The reason is that countries have extremely strict supervision of this industry. Anyone who is involved in this industry will be investigated, and Yan Fei’s biggest worry is to be investigated.

If Yan Fei really bought tens of thousands of guns, he was worried that these guns would flow into the domestic security department and would definitely check him out and even invite him to have tea.

For Yan Fei, who had never thought about causing trouble for himself, it did not necessarily have to use modern weapons to complete the task. Some things with less strict supervision can also do this.

Yan Fei ordered rifled stainless steel pipes at the world factory in the name of import and export, ordered a large number of parts according to the size, and ordered a pre-fire and ammunition package. He even ordered a batch of Napoleon gun parts in the name of museum collections.

The ordered items were shipped to Africa, and then Yan Fei opened a company in the receiving place to recruit locals for assembly.

Although Africans have low education levels, there is no difficult technology to describe these assembly work. Moreover, no one will pay too much attention to this flintlock rifle or Napoleon artillery. After all, AK rifles are already in the modern world, and no one can make trouble with these old antiques.

Although the flintlock rifle and Napoleon cannon are true antiques in the modern world, they are truly super-era technology in the time and space of the Ming Dynasty. There is absolutely no problem with the Qing Dynasty, who is still playing with big swords and bows.
