Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 367

Seeing that the two of them were still hesitant, Emperor Qianwu spoke.

"Okay, don't be coy, since Chang Feng wants to give it, you just keep it."

Feng Quji and Ye Qingcang had no choice but to bow and thank them.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"The old minister will be disrespectful."

Li Changfeng smiled and said: "Don't forget to pay the taxes. I, the prince, will not pay the taxes."

The two laughed, their eyes full of gratitude and joy.

They secretly made up their minds to do things well for Li Changfeng in the future.

Emperor Qianwu nodded in satisfaction, and Li Changfeng was very happy to have the support of the two court officials.

He changed the subject and said, "Okay, let's talk about this real-life sand table. It's much more intuitive than a map. It's very useful for arranging troops. What does General Ye think?"

When it came to business, Ye Qingcang's expression became solemn: "Your Majesty's words are very true. The real-scene sand table is indeed more intuitive, and it can definitely play a very important role in commanding operations. The veteran feels that it can be promoted in the entire army..."

Next, several people began to discuss the matter.

When Emperor Qianwu left, all the 8307 houses in the first phase were sold out, for a total of [-] million taels. Everyone in Yaxing was shocked when they saw this number.

Even Li Changfeng was a little emotional.

It took so much money to sell in half a day, no wonder those real estate developers in the previous life were so rich and came in too fast.

Li Changfeng rewarded everyone in Yahang, ordered the preparation of the second phase of the project, and then returned home happily.

As soon as he returned home, he met Chunni.

Li Changfeng was a little surprised: "Why did you come back so soon?"

Three days ago, Chunni heard that the hydropower station had started construction, and was very curious about how water generates electricity, so she went to check it alone.

Li Changfeng also persuaded her to come, saying that there is no point in going to see it now, and that she will go after the work is finished.

Chunni didn't listen, so he didn't try to persuade her.

At this time, Chunni looked disappointed: "I came back when there was nothing interesting to see."

Li Changfeng smiled and said: "How good is it to stay in the capital on such a hot day? Later, I will send someone to the nearby river pond to find some screws. In the evening, the prince will cook a spicy screw in the kitchen and grill crayfish for the whole meal. What a beer."

Chunni's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"it is good!"

When she first came to the capital, Chunni liked Diandude, Beer BBQ City and Hudilao hot pot very much, and thought it was the best food in the world.

After she lived in Li Changfeng's house for a while, she realized that the chef there was not even the slightest bit inferior to Li Changfeng's.

Li Changfeng can come up with new tricks from time to time, so delicious that she can bite her own tongue.

That night, Li Changfeng had a big meal with Chunni, Bingbing and Xiaotong.

In a good mood, he drank a lot of beer and slept until midnight on the second day before waking up. While washing up, Bingbing told him that someone from the shipyard had been waiting all morning.

Li Changfeng hurriedly washed his face and went to see the visitor. It turned out that the second batch of improved versions, larger, faster and stronger armored warships had been completed.

There are six ships in this batch.

Li Changfeng was overjoyed, rewarded the visitor generously, and then went straight to the palace.

Emperor Ganwu joked when he saw him: "It's really rare, I met you just yesterday, and you came to see me again today?"

Li Changfeng paid more than 200 million taels of silver to the household department when he bought the land. The 10 properties were sold out yesterday, and the deed tax of several [-] taels was added to the household department.

Seeing that the treasury is getting richer and richer, Emperor Ganwu's mood is also getting better and better. He has never been so rich since he founded the country.

Li Changfeng smiled and said, "Isn't that right? My son is here to see you, my father, and I want to ask you for someone by the way."

"You bastard, I know you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything." Emperor Qianwu laughed and cursed, and asked: "Who do you want?"

"Zhou Jianbo."

"Zhou Jianbo..." Emperor Qianwu thought for a moment, "I just remembered, the South China Sea frontier general, he has done nothing in these years and is an ordinary person."

"That's right, this is exactly what my son wants."

"This man has no great talent, why does Changfeng want him?" Emperor Qianwu asked doubtfully.

Li Changfeng shook his head: "Father, this person still has some talents. There is no war in the South China Sea, so he just has no chance to show his talents. In the future, I will work hard to establish a navy, and I will recommend him to be the commander of the navy."

"Oh?" Emperor Qianwu said in surprise, "Then I made a mistake. What use do you have for this person?"

Li Changfeng smiled slightly and said, "Father, my son, the second batch of larger and stronger iron-clad warships has been built."

Hearing this, Emperor Ganwu's eyes lit up immediately: "You mean you are going to start ocean trade?"

When Benjamin came to Daqian for the first time, Li Changfeng mentioned this idea to him, but later shelved it because he was limited by Daqian's shipbuilding technology.

Later, five armored warships were launched, but Li Changfeng did not pursue the matter considering that the number was too small.

During this period, Benjamin came to work for the second time and brought a lot of tax revenue to the treasury. Emperor Qianwu had long been concerned about this piece of fat, and had been waiting for Li Changfeng to start ocean trade.

Li Changfeng nodded: "That's right, when Erchen drove the iron-clad warship to the Japanese pirates to ask for debts, he took Zhou Jianbo with him, and found that this man was quite capable and familiar with naval warfare, so he wanted him to lead the fleet to conduct ocean-going trade, which can be regarded as accumulating experience. It will be of great use in the future.”

Emperor Qianwu was very satisfied with what Li Changfeng said and praised him: "Very good, you already know how to plan for the future. I am very pleased. I am right about this!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Gao Dali: "Immediately draw up an order to order Vice General Zhou Jianbo to take over the position, and Zhou Jianbo will return to Beijing immediately."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"By the way, father, you should also bring some artillery, muskets and grenades. Pirates are rampant in the sea, and many countries may themselves be pirates."

"Yes! You can decide how much you need, and I will delegate the power to you."

……

Nine days later, Li Changfeng met Zhou Jianbo in the living room of the mansion.

"This prince asked my father to remove your position and let you engage in ocean trade. You won't be resentful, will you?"

Zhou Jianbo said respectfully: "Your Highness's kindness in nurturing me is too late to express my gratitude. How can I be resentful?"

After returning to Beijing, he immediately went to see Emperor Qianwu.

Emperor Qianwu praised him greatly and affirmed his talent.Although he didn't say it explicitly, there was a lot of meaning in his words to cultivate him, and he also mentioned the future navy.

He naturally understood the deep meaning in it.

Emperor Qianwu didn't shy away from saying that it was recommended by Li Changfeng, and Zhou Jianbo was very grateful to Li Changfeng.

After a trip to the ocean, he has accumulated more maritime experience. In the future, when Da Qian builds a navy, who is qualified to compete with him?
Li Changfeng nodded with satisfaction: "There are eleven armored warships in total. You take away nine of them, and I, the prince, will equip you with artillery, muskets, and grenades."

Zhou Jianbo was overjoyed: "That's great, with this weapon to kill the enemy, Your Highness, your fleet will surely run rampant all over the world!"

Next, Li Changfeng gave another round of careful instructions.
