I am the carpenter king

Seeing the excited Shen Yourong, Emperor Tianqi smiled indifferently, naturally he would not blame Shen Yourong.Obviously, Shen Yourong, who had wasted half his life, couldn't believe it was true, his heart was agitated, and it was inevitable to lose his composure.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Although this is a big event, there are not many main people, just a few of you. No, there is another person, that is, five people. .”

Taking a serious look at several people, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "This matter is a big matter, and it cannot be achieved in a short time. I hope that the love ministers will be of the same mind. As long as this matter is done , all of you Ai Qing are the heroes of the Ming Dynasty."

"Your Majesty, it takes a lot to build a powerful navy. Building warships, installing firearms, and training naval forces are all costly. I am worried that the treasury will not be able to make ends meet! There are constant wars in northern Xinjiang, and the firearms factory wastes a lot of money. , The national treasury suffered a serious loss. At this time, such a large-scale construction of warships, I am afraid that the national treasury will not be able to bear it! Natural disasters continue, people are displaced, and they are desperately waiting for food. If the emperor raises taxes, I am afraid there will be disasters!" Xu Guangqi on the side kept His face was like water, he had wanted to say such words a long time ago.Emperor Apocalypse was young, and perhaps had many unexpected things, but he had to say these words.

Taking a deep look at Xu Guangqi, Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly. This is what the court officials should say.After a long time, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Xu Aiqing, I have no choice but to do this. Don't worry, Aiqing, just like the money and food in the firearms factory, I will not give you a penny less. As for how to get the money, that's up to you." It's my business. Since Aiqing understands my difficulty, then spend every penny where it should be used. "[

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best!" I saluted Emperor Tianqi.Xu Guangqi said respectfully.At this time, Xu Guangqi's mind was agitated, as if inspired by Emperor Tianqi, he wished to immediately devote himself to the shipbuilding business.

Gently nodded, Emperor Tianqi looked at Sun Yuanhua again, and said solemnly: "Sun Aiqing, I will leave the shipbuilding to you. Whatever you need, you can come to me. I will take care of you myself!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sun Yuanhua nodded slightly, respectfully.

Looking at Shen Yourong and Yu Zigao, Emperor Tianqi sighed softly, and said in a rather emotional tone: "You two love ministers, you have many things to do, and you need to recruit and train new troops. Of course you are not the only ones. Two people. The other one is Qi Jin, the chief soldier of Jiliao. I will turn him over. Shen Aiqing, I canonize you as the commander of the navy to command the newly established navy. As for Qi Jin and Yu Zigao, both are under your command Listen to it."

Lifting up her clothes and kneeling on the ground, Shen Yourong said loudly: "Thank you Lord Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

When Shen Yourong stood up, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "As for how to build a ship and what kind of ship to build. How many sailors need to be recruited, you go down and discuss it. Then you will play it together. The initial investment will not be too much, I can only give it to you." You have 500 million taels of silver, and you discuss how to spend it yourself."

Several people glanced at each other, and they all saw the surprise in each other's eyes. It seemed that Emperor Tianqi was playing for real.The yearly income of the Ming Dynasty was less than 400 million taels, and Emperor Tianqi took out 500 million taels at once.And it is the initial investment, it seems that there is really a lot to do!

After bowing to Emperor Tianqi, Shen Yourong said excitedly, "Your Majesty, I have a merciless request."

"Ai Qing just say it!" Wei Wei was taken aback, but Emperor Tianqi still said with a smile.

"Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will allow me to go to Zhejiang and Fujian provinces to recruit soldiers!" Shen Yourong said seriously with a very serious face.

Emperor Tianqi was a little surprised, but he understood after thinking about it.I don't know how high Qi Jin's status is in Zhejiang, not to mention that the combat effectiveness of Zhejiang soldiers is quite high.As for Yu Zigao, who was the commander-in-chief of Fujian before, the same is true.

Nodding his head slowly, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "This is no problem, Ai Qing is free to do whatever she wants! The navy's rations and salaries are all allocated by our internal treasury, Ai Qing can rest assured!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Yourong was extremely excited, and at this moment, he was full of energy.

Smiling and waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi said casually: "My dear friends, go down and discuss it! Then make a report!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will take my leave!" After several people saluted, they bowed their bodies and retreated.

Slowly turning back to the back of the Longshu case, Emperor Tianqi looked at Wang Chengen and asked wearily, "Is there any important note?"

"Back to the emperor, the cabinet has made a note about Zhangjiakou. A total of 600 million taels of cash, 12 mu of land, and 160 shops have been confiscated from Shanxi and Shaanxi merchants." Wang Chengen read, looking at Emperor Tianqi cautiously, seeing Emperor Tianqi's expression did not change at all, and he was slightly relieved.

In fact, Emperor Tianqi was already very angry in his heart, and he didn't expect there to be so many.Money and shops are second, but the key is the 12 mu of land.It's just eight families who own 12 mu of land, which shows the seriousness of land mergers in the world.These are only eight merchant families, if they were princes and princes, how many would there be?

After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "What is the cabinet's opinion?" [

"Back to the emperor, the cabinet plans to send 600 million taels of silver and 400 million taels to the national treasury, and the remaining 200 million taels to the internal treasury. As for the 160 shops, the cabinet means to let the local government sell them. The silver taels will follow the old rules , The national treasury and the internal treasury are divided into five or five. Most of the 12 mu of land is land invested by nearby farmers, and the cabinet means to return it to the people!" Wang Chengen closed the cabinet folder and said carefully.

Emperor Tianqi had no objection to the first article, but he did not agree with the second article. He glanced at Wang Chengen, and Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Tell the cabinet that it is too troublesome to distribute the 160 shops to the official uniforms. The big buyer found here. Let Longchang Company come forward later, and let Longchang Company discuss how to buy and sell. "

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen had expected this a long time ago, how could Emperor Tianqi let go of such an opportunity?As long as the Longchang Company takes over the business of the eight major merchants, the entire business in Zhangjiakou and Beyond the Great Wall will belong to Emperor Tianqi.Calculated in this way, I am afraid that Longchang will make a lot of money by the end of this year!

Gently knocking on the table, Emperor Tianqi frowned and thought softly. Emperor Tianqi naturally understood the matter of investing in land. It was a means used by the people in this era to avoid taxation.If the land was returned to the people in this way, Emperor Tianqi always felt unwilling.

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Tianqi said in a low tone: "This matter should be done according to the cabinet's order! Let the supervisor of ceremonies approve the redemption."

Although Emperor Tianqi's voice was the same as usual, Wang Chengen felt the difference of Emperor Tianqi.He knew in his heart that Emperor Tianqi might have made some important decision.But Wang Chengen also understands that it is better not to ask what he should not ask.

"Is there anything else?" Emperor Tianqi asked, looking back at Wang Chengen.

"Go back to Your Majesty, there's nothing left!" Wang Chengen bowed respectfully and said to Emperor Tianqi.

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi closed his eyes gently, and said in a deep voice: "You go out! I want to be alone!"

Wang Chengen bowed and backed out, his steps were very light and his movements were very careful.

Shenyang City, Marshal's Mansion, lobby.

There were quite a few people sitting in the hall, and the one who sat on the main seat was Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the first and auxiliary university of the cabinet.On the left is Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, and on the right is Chen Hong, the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies.Liaodong Governor Yang Lian, civil officials at all levels, Liaodong General Soldier He Shixian, Shenyang General Soldier Zhao Liaojiao, and [-] other general soldiers are all here.

The atmosphere in the hall was very serious, and everyone's eyes were on Sun Chengzong, obviously waiting for Sun Chengzong to speak.

"Everyone, I think everyone knows what I want to do when I come to Liaodong this time, so I won't say much! From tomorrow, I will start patrolling from Shenyang, select cavalry, and weed out unqualified soldiers. I hope You can have a mental preparation, go back and rectify your subordinates, and don't make any mistakes!" Sun Chengzong looked at the people below seriously, his deep eyes scratched their faces, and he said with an unquestionable face.

"I would like to obey the commander's order!" Everyone answered loudly, obviously no one here dared to challenge Sun Chengzong's prestige.

Glancing at Chen Hong where the old god was, Sun Chengzong said with a smile: "Eunuch Chen, do you know what you want to say?"

Looking at Sun Chengzong in surprise, Chen Hong said with a smile: "Master Sun is joking, our family is a servant in the palace, there is no room for our family to talk here. When the emperor came here, he made it clear that our family is only here this time. In charge of the money, as for other matters, Master Sun has the final say!"

Chen Hong's words may be a little uncomfortable to others' ears, after all, what Chen Hong said was to ask for bribes.However, Sun Chengzong understood that Chen Hong was expressing an attitude. As for the money here, Chen Hong would not take a cent.

Turning his gaze to Yang Lian, Sun Chengzong said in a deep voice, "Master Yang, what happened to the military horse?"

"My lord, the ranch in Liaoyang has been restored, and the 30 taels I got from Eunuch Chen are almost enough. There are now [-] military horses in the racecourse, and [-] of them can be used as war horses now." Yang Lian said As he said that, he glanced at Chen Hong who was on the other side, and he was slightly relieved when he saw that Chen Hong's expression hadn't changed much. (to be continued...)
