marquis of jingan

Chapter 770 Be prepared!

After Shen Yi answered, the eunuch nodded and went back to the palace to serve the emperor silently.

Looking at the back of Gao Ming walking away slowly, Shen Yi was also quite emotional.

Others don't know how Gao Ming and Xu Fu, a pair of uncles and nephews with different surnames, got here, but Shen Yi, the person involved, knows it all.

It can be said that these two people came together entirely because of the relationship of interests, and became an inexplicable uncle-nephew relationship.

And Xu Fu, relying on this superficial relationship, obtained the status of an imperial merchant and started his prosperous life.

However, in the past few years, Xu Fu has always treated Gao Ming as his own uncle according to Shen Yi's instructions. No matter what he thinks in his heart, the gifts that should be given during New Years and festivals have never been interrupted. Occasionally when he invites Gao Ming out for dinner, It is also very polite, addressing each uncle one by one.

The eunuch has no children, so maybe this chief eunuch in the inner court has really moved some real feelings.

However, eunuch Gao took the initiative to benefit Xu Fu this time. The main reason was that the Liulichang was run very well. It not only brought a lot of income to the palace, but also helped the court make a telescope.

Although this thing was directed by Shen Yi, Master Shen was just a hands-off shopkeeper, and Xu Fu was doing almost all the things, and Xu Fu was busy.

As for Xu Fu, in the emperor's place, apart from being bound to Shen Yi, he was also bound to Gao Ming.

Xu Fu's affairs were done well, and Eunuch Gao's position became much more stable.

At least in a short period of time, he will not be shocked by the rising star Sun Jin.

After feeling a lot of emotion, Shen Yi shook his head and left Deqing Palace.

But this time, instead of going home directly, he went to the Ministry of War for a walk, first visited the three officials of the Ministry of War, and then went back to the Military Selection Department to take a look.

Now the person in charge of the Wuxuan Division is Zheng Ling, a member of the Wuxuan Division, who was promoted by Shen Yi. After meeting Shen Yi, he was extremely enthusiastic and courteous. He also insisted on inviting Shen Yi to dinner. The reason was rejected.

After wandering around in the Ministry of War and consolidating his position, Shen Yi walked to the door of Zhongshu, hesitated for a while, but still didn't go in.

Originally, he should have met Prime Minister Chen Jing and explained the situation to him. After all, before he set off, the prime minister also took time to meet him, but he thought of Chen Jing's attitude towards him and his desire to fight against the emperor. After Master Shen pouted his evil deeds, he did not enter Zhongshu, but went home to sleep.

If Chen Pingan doesn't come to invite Shen Yi, Master Shen will never go to see him!
In the early morning of the next day, when Master Shen, who didn't have to go to work, was still sleeping at home, several prime ministers were invited by the emperor to discuss matters in the Ganlu Hall.

Sitting on the throne, His Majesty the Emperor glanced at the five old men sitting at the bottom. After coughing, he said, "Masters, General Zhao hurried back to Jiankang a few days ago to see me. You must be I also know, but what General Zhao said to me, you probably don't know very well."

"You are invited here today to discuss this matter."

The emperor said slowly: "Recently, the Qi people have changed frequently, and there are more and more Qi soldiers north of the Huaihe River. According to intelligence, there are already 5 to [-] people."

"They may cross the Huai River at any time."

"General Zhao said that the strength of the Huaihe Navy is insufficient. He asked me to temporarily second the [-] officers and soldiers of the Coastal Command who were training in Songjiang Mansion to the banks of the Huaihe River to guard a section of the river for the Huaihe Navy."

"To reduce the pressure on the Huaihe Navy."

After finishing speaking, His Majesty the Emperor first set the tone for the meeting: "Zhen, I have already agreed to General Zhao."

He looked at the old men and asked slowly, "Do you think differently, gentlemen?"

Hearing these two words from the emperor, the prime ministers felt more or less helpless in their hearts.

Good guy, you have already agreed, and you still ask us if we have any opinions. Is it impossible to ask Zhongshu to refute the imperial decree?
Although Zhongshu does have this power, basically no prime minister will use it, and everyone mainly focuses on persuasion.

After all, no one wants to use their wealth to challenge His Majesty's temper.

As a result, the five prime ministers did not speak for a while. After a while, the prime minister, Chen Jing, stood up slowly. First, he bowed his hands to His Majesty the emperor and flattered him.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Immediately, old man Chen changed the subject and continued: "However, the old minister thinks that although the soldiers of the coastal capital have been very effective in suppressing the Japanese and made a lot of contributions in the past few years, there may still be some gaps between them and the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty. ..."

"Let them support the Huaihe Navy, there is nothing wrong with it, but is it better to leave it to General Zhao for unified command and dispatch? Only in this way can we advance and retreat as one, so that we don't lose sight of the other..."

Sitting on the throne, the emperor frowned and said, "What Chen Xiang means is that General Zhao's idea is wrong?"

Zhao Lu is a general on the front line, and Chen Jing has never been in charge of the army, and he has never been in the military department. Naturally, he has no right to speak. Dare to say that Marquis Anping was wrong, but the veteran feels that this matter is not trivial, and it cannot be based on General Zhao's personal thoughts..."

He looked up at the emperor, and asked, "Your Majesty... would you like to invite some officials from the Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War to discuss it together?"

"They haven't fought against Qi people before, so what do they know?"

The emperor waved his hands impatiently, and said, "I feel that the Huaihe Navy has guarded the Dachen border for decades, and General Zhao has guarded the Huaihe River for more than ten years, so there is nothing wrong with it."

"Things, let's do it like this."

The emperor yawned, and said lazily: "Turning back, I will have someone draw up an order and issue it in the middle letter, and the princes will seal it, so let's issue it immediately."

"The military situation is on fire, so we can't delay."

After finishing speaking, the emperor glanced at the five old men with piercing eyes.

At this moment, only Chen Jing was standing alone, and he looked back at his four colleagues.

The four "colleagues" were silent and did not dare to speak.

Ever since, Chen Xiang could only sigh, bowed his head and cupped his hands silently and said, "Your Majesty... Shengming."

The other four prime ministers stood up one after another, and bowed their hands together in salute: "Your Majesty is holy."

As a result, this almost absurd and not very "reliable" resolution was successfully passed in Zhongshu under the almost nonsense of the emperor.

Moreover, it was quickly printed and issued by the Zhongshu, and then issued by the Zhongshu to the Ministry of War, and then the imperial decree was sent to the Songjiang Wei Camp with the documents of the Ministry of War at an accelerated speed of [-] miles.

At the same time, His Majesty the Emperor ordered the Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War to discuss the specific river sections to be defended by the coastal capital.

And Master Shen, who is the protagonist of the incident, just got up at this time, got into the carriage, and left the house.

The Shen family's carriage, after leaving the Shen residence, went all the way out of Jiankang City, and finally stopped at the gate of the manor outside the city that had been renamed "Liulichang". Xu Fu, dressed in commoner clothes, stood respectfully at the gate, welcoming Shen Yi, After seeing Shen Yi coming down, he immediately stepped forward to salute, bowed slightly and said, "My lord."

Shen Yi waved his hand at him, indicating that there is no need to be polite.

After entering Liulichang, Master Shen said straight to the point: "Last time I wrote to you, asking you to get some more binoculars, how many have you got now?"

Xu Fu lowered his head slightly, and said, "My lord, things are not difficult to make. Both the lens and the wooden frame can be made. It is this lens that takes a lot of time to polish..."

He paused, and continued: "And it takes a lot of time to adjust it. There are only a dozen or so telescopes that are relatively easy to use..."

"Later, I will let people rush to make it as soon as possible..."

"A dozen or so are about the same."

Shen Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Put it all in a box, and I'll take it away later."

Xu Fu nodded yes.

Shen Yi thought for a while, and then said: "Try to do as much as possible, and then let people study this specifically. The farther you can see, the better."

Xu Fu nodded, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I have already found twenty or thirty craftsmen to think about this."

Master Shen nodded, picked up one of the binoculars and took a look.

Although it is still not as good as the telescope in another world, it is much better than the first-generation telescope he showed the emperor.

Soon, more than a dozen telescopes were loaded into Shen Yi's carriage.

After finishing these binocular mirrors, Master Shen rubbed his chin and began to ponder again.

"Right now, there is still a large shortage of gunpowder and artillery. These are only available from the Gunpowder Department of the Inner Court War Bureau..."

"This time, the emperor drove the ducks to the shelves, and this gunpowder..."

Master Shen was a little annoyed.

"You have to give me some more!"
