I am the carpenter king

Looking at Luo Sigong with a slight frown, Emperor Tianqi was a little confused. So, Luo Sigong is the commander of the Jinyiwei, so how can he be a civil servant now?This time, all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty knew the anger of Emperor Tianqi. Although they knew that it was inappropriate to do so, no one dared to say anything.

Looking at Luo Sigong, Emperor Tianqi also knew that Luo Sigong was not a person who made a big fuss, and he must have his reasons for saying this.Nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi Chen Sheng said: "Tell me your reason!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Huang Taiji is just one of Nurhachi's sons. Even if he really escapes, it will not matter!" Seeing that Emperor Tianqi's face turned dark, Luo Sigong quickly changed the subject, saying: "This time, the White Lotus Sect is in Beijing. If you do such a thing against the sky, you must investigate it to the end, otherwise the court's face will be wiped away!"

Looking up at Emperor Tianqi, Luo Sigong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Emperor Tianqi's face looked better.Raising his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, he didn't continue talking.

Emperor Tianqi kept thinking, did he really make a fuss out of a molehill?Huang Taiji laid the foundation of Houjin and adjusted Houjin's strategy for the Ming Dynasty. This person is very important. [

Glancing at Luo Sigong, Emperor Tianqi picked up the tea bowl on one side and said, "Go ahead!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! It is very necessary to capture Huang Taiji and wipe out the rebel bandits of the White Lotus Sect. However, I feel that we should not mobilize the troops like this. Now people in the capital are in panic, and many businesses have closed down. The common people dare not go to the streets. People in the yamen wander around the streets all day long, and doing so can only make the court look like a big fuss. If a little Huang Taiji and a group of White Lotus Sect rebels make people feel that the court is panicking, the loss outweighs the gain!" Luo Sigong put his heart out. Heck, he said all the words in his mind, and touched the ground with his head!

Holding a teacup.Emperor Tianqi sat there quietly, and he had read many remonstrance memorials from civil servants.Many times, because of my identity as a time traveler, I let myself dismiss those things and disapprove of them.

Thinking about it now, maybe I was wrong. I am a college student in the [-]th century, without any special talents.Just relying on knowing a little about history, I put everything in my heart.Thinking of this, Emperor Tianqi broke out in a cold sweat, and sooner or later something will go wrong if this continues!

Staring at Luo Sigong, Emperor Tianqi had gratitude in his eyes, and he must clearly realize that he is no longer a time traveler.I am the emperor of this country and the master of this country, so I have to consider issues from the perspective of an emperor.

Set the teacup aside.Emperor Tianqi smiled faintly, and said softly, "Luo Aiqing, get up!"

He breathed a sigh of relief, just now Luo Sigong was really afraid that Emperor Tianqi would get angry, so it's okay to be afraid in his heart.But after standing aside, Luo Sigong suddenly felt that Emperor Tianqi seemed to have changed.

Ask Luo Sigong to say what changed in Emperor Tianqi, Luo Sigong couldn't tell, but he just felt that Emperor Tianqi was different.If you have to say it, Emperor Tianqi seems to be more like an emperor.But Luo Sigong felt a little ridiculous.

"What Luo Aiqing said makes sense. I'll let the cabinet draw up an order later. Let's settle this matter like this! I'll entrust Aiqing with the matter of arresting Huang Taiji and exterminating the rebel bandits of the White Lotus Sect. I won't interfere indiscriminately! If Aiqing has any ideas, feel free to do it!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Luo Sigong with a smile, nodded, and said.

"I will do my best to live up to Your Majesty's hope!" Luo Sigong immediately fell to his knees and said in an extremely firm tone.

He waved his hand.Emperor Tianqi said casually: "There is nothing wrong, Ai Qing will step down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will take my leave!" Luo Sigong said in a respectful tone after saluting Emperor Tianqi.

Looking at Luo Sigong's leaving figure, Emperor Tianqi's eyes suddenly became firm.If I am strong, why should I care about a mere Huang Taiji?Turning his head to look at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice, "How much silver do I still have in my treasury?"

Slightly taken aback, Wang Chengen had a hesitant look on his face, and his mouth was full of bitterness. Every time Emperor Tianqi asked questions like this, he must have spent money.Although he was conflicted in his heart, he was not in charge of this matter, so he hurriedly said: "Go back to the emperor, there are still 900 million taels of silver in the treasury!"

This time it was Emperor Tianqi's turn to be stunned, it was really a waste of money, he frowned and asked Wang Chengen: "Why do you spend so much?"

"Returning to the emperor, the expenses of the firearms factory, the military salaries of various places and the salaries of officials, all kinds of things have been spent. In addition, the silver taels raised by Mr. Zuo Guangdou and Mr. Zuo He spent a total of 200 million taels!" Wang Chengen frowned, cautiously. Looking at Emperor Apocalypse.

After waving his hands, Emperor Tianqi said naively: "Shouldn't the military pay and officials' salaries be paid out of the national treasury? Why do they have to be paid out of the internal treasury now?"

"Back to the emperor, the treasury's silver has made up for last year's shortfall, and the deposit of silver is only a million taels, which has already been spent. Now the treasury is already empty, and all the expenses during this period are from the internal treasury. Silver!" Wang Chengen was also very sorry, what should I do if the silver in the internal treasury runs out?I hope Jiangnan can copy more money back this time!

Nai shook his head, Emperor Tianqi was extremely unbalanced in his heart, it seemed that he still had to find a way to get money.Looking at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Okay, don't look so sad, go and find Xu Guangqi!" [

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu has already delivered the memorial this morning, and today he is going to take General Qi and General Yu to see the warship!" Wang Chengen's face changed immediately when he heard Xu Guangqi, this Mr. Xu can really spend money!

Nodding his head, Emperor Tianqi let out a sigh of relief, with excitement in his heart.When your own navy is built, it will really be a lot of money!At that time, there will be no need to worry about money all day long, and there will be more things to do!

While Emperor Tianqi was dreaming in the palace, the shipyard was very excited. Qi Jin and Yu Zigao walked on the battleship with excited faces.While walking, Qi Jin stroked the cannon he was wearing.

Ever since he arrived in the capital, Qi Jin knew about the firearms factory where the imperial court built new artillery pieces. He once wanted to go in and have a look, but was turned away.Seeing such a cannon now, Qi Jin was naturally extremely excited.Qi Jin, like his uncle Qi Jiguang, has an instinctive obsession with firearms!

"This warship is really amazing. If there were such a warship back then, what a mere pirate would be!" Yu Zigao kept looking at the warship, his face was full of excitement, and he couldn't help feeling a little bit sad about what happened to his father.

After patting Yu Zigao, Qi Jin cautiously shook his head, some things he could say, but some things he couldn't!

"Master Xu, this warship is of course very good, but the price is not cheap, right?" Qi Jin looked at Xu Guangqi who was walking in front, and asked a little nervously.I have trained [-] sailors. If there are only ten or twenty warships, I am afraid that this navy will still have no time to build.

Looking at Qi Jin with a smile, Xu Guangqi had a good impression of both Qi Jiguang and Qi Jin, nodded and said, "That's natural, this warship is naturally not cheap, 30 taels of silver a piece!"

Although I thought it would be very expensive, I didn't expect it to be so expensive, 30 taels?Ten ships is 300 million taels?Shaking his head with a wry smile, I'm afraid his dream of being a navy master is about to be shattered!

Seeing Qi Jin's disappointed expression, Xu Guangqi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The emperor has issued an imperial decree, the first batch of warships is expected to be 120 such warships, and the remaining ships will need [-]. A total of [-] ships. There is another ship that is bigger than this type and equipped with [-] cannons, which is also planned!"

Standing there in a daze, Qi Jin almost bit his own tongue, swallowed hard, and said, "My lord, are you serious?" Fifty such warships cost 500 million taels. There are 3000 larger warships, plus the rest of the ships, I am afraid that the cost will be around [-] million taels. Where does the court have so much money?

Glancing at Qi Jin, Xu Guangqi said with some displeasure on his face: "General Qi, you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately! This is what the emperor instructed. Before the end of this year, all the prototype ships will be built. Next year one In the beginning of spring, the emperor will decree to mobilize shipbuilders from all over the country to try to launch all warships into the water within three years!"

"Forgive me, my lord, Qi Jin is so excited! Don't blame me, my lord!" Qi Jin also knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and Xu Guangqi, a dignified cabinet scholar, naturally wouldn't lie.Besides, it was the imperial decree of Emperor Tianqi. With Xu Guangqi's courage, he would not dare to falsely pass on the imperial decree!

Nodding his head, Xu Guangqi said in a deep voice: "General Qi, why didn't Master Shen Yourong come?" The current captain of the navy is Shen Yourong, Qi Jin and Yu Zigao are only Shen Yourong's deputy, Xu Guangqi must ask whether Shen Yourong came or not. .

"Back to my lord, General Shen fell ill half a month ago, and he is still lying on the bed, there is really no way to come, my lord, don't blame me!" Qi Jin's face was full of regret, Shen Yourong is not young, I don't know if he can do it Can withstand the bumps of wearing.

Nodding his head, Xu Guangqi didn't speak, and walked forward with the two of them!This prototype ship will need to be handed over to Qi Jiguang and Yu Zigao for use. If there are no problems, the final drawing can be finalized!

Seeing Yu Zigao on the side was a little absent-minded, Qi Jin bumped into him and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking?"

"General Qi, do you know who my father's master is?" Yu Zigao looked at Qi Jin, frowning with some hesitation on his face.

"Of course I know this. General Yu learned from Southern Shaolin master Li Liangqin. I've heard about it. Li Liangqin is a master in the world, and his original Zhang Er stick method is the enemy of the world." Qi Jin nodded, with a strong expression on his face. Qi Jiguang's admiration for Li Liangqin at the beginning was endless!

However, Yu Zigao shook his head lightly, and said in a low tone: "I'm not talking about martial arts, but the books of war and the methods of naval warfare!" (to be continued...)
