Fortunate Young Gentleman

The text of Ruyi Xiaolangjun, Chapter 629, Shocking the world is actually very unfair. King Kang deliberately hit Tang Ning's boat, but Tang Ning could not order the manager of Tianranju to hit it back.

Because he is a prince, at the top of the privileged class in the capital and even the entire Chen State, it is natural for him to bully others, and others bullying him is a violation of the royal dignity.

Other things don't matter, anything that involves the face of the royal family is a big deal.

Just like Tang Ning's great merits and high official positions, it is impossible to marry Zhao Man, a royal princess, home as a concubine.

Today's lake tour, although there were some minor episodes, but it was generally pleasant.

In fact, the scenery and climate in Jiangnan are better than the capital, but many times, it is not important to enjoy the scenery, but the people who enjoy the scenery together are important.

Compared with the heavy affairs in the government office and the intrigues in the officialdom, Tang Ning still likes to go out for a walk with his family and blow the wind.

Of course, it would have been better if King Kang hadn't made trouble. It was a rare and relaxing moment for the family. King Kang's intrusion was like throwing a small stone into a calm lake. Even if it only caused a little ripple and was quickly smoothed out, it would still be a little uncomfortable for Tang Ning, who couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes.

Revenge cannot be taken in person. If King Kang's boat was really sunk, it would directly make Emperor Chen lose face. Even if Emperor Chen would not punish him too much for this matter, there was no need to cause such trouble.

After all, there is a long way to go.

Tang Ning's energy in recent months has been focused on the Ministry of Works. In comparison, the training of Zuo Xiaowei has been detailed and regularized, and he doesn't need to pay too much attention to it.

Old Zheng had already drawn all the equipment diagrams of the heavy cavalry yesterday.

If Zheng had never been on the battlefield and had never seen heavy cavalry before, Tang Ning could chop off his head and let him kick it like a ball.

Although Tang Ning was very curious about Old Zheng's past, he didn't say much.

Everyone has secrets. Old Zheng is not Gongsun Ying. He has his reasons for not telling. Tang Ning will not go to great lengths to get to the bottom of things and threaten to kill him if he doesn't tell...

The key is that he can't be killed either.

Tang Ning needs to hand over these equipment drawings to the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry to make them.

The reason why Emperor Chen restarted this plan is because the grassland cavalry is strong. The Chen army is naturally at a disadvantage when encountering them.

Only by having cavalry that is stronger than them can we effectively contain the Sushen cavalry on the grassland.

Due to limited conditions, even the Wanyan tribe, the largest tribe on the grassland, does not have many heavy cavalry.

Because they are poor.

Not only do they have no money, they also lack iron and mature forging technology, but Chen has all of these. What Emperor Chen wants is to create a cavalry that is stronger than the grassland people.

Even if the heavy cavalry itself has the disadvantages of being not flexible enough and having poor mobility, their advantages on the grassland are enough to cover up these shortcomings.

Tang Ning looked at Lao Zheng and asked casually, "Have you seen heavy cavalry before?"

Lao Zheng shook his head: "No."

Tang Ning asked curiously: "If you haven't seen it, what are you drawing?"

Lao Zheng said: "I have studied it."

Lao Zheng talked about inappropriate nonsense one after another. Whenever Tang Ning asked about serious matters, he returned to his nature of not being able to get anything out of it. After asking this, Tang Ning didn't plan to ask any more questions.

The Ministry of Works has many and complicated things to do. Tang Ning gave the drawings to the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works and asked them to make a set first to see the effect.

After that, there were some miscellaneous matters of building bridges and paving roads. Emperor Chen was not very enthusiastic about building palaces. Recently, a large amount of silver has been invested in the transportation post road in the northwest, which can be said to be truly prepared for wartime.

The Ministry of Works also needs to come up with some strategies for the floods in several states.

In addition, in addition to its own affairs, the Ministry of Works also needs to cooperate with other departments. Several university scholars have applied to His Majesty to build a large official residence for poor officials to live in, so that they can go to court and go to the government every day. These matters must be implemented by the Ministry of Works.

The Ministry of War wants to produce a batch of new weapons and send them to the northwest, and the Ministry of Works is also required to supervise their production.

The Ministry of Revenue sent some scrapped scales, and the Ministry of Works was required to make some new ones, and it also needed manpower. The Minister of Works was on sick leave, and the Vice Minister was on a business trip. All these things had to be handled by Tang Ning himself.

But these things were all important matters. The construction of the post road in the northwest could not be delayed, and the military equipment of the Ministry of War could not be delayed. The scales sent by the Ministry of Revenue were official weights, which were replaced every two years, so they could be postponed a little. As for the official residences recommended by the Grand Secretary, they needed carpenters, which did not conflict with other things and could be arranged immediately...

Before that, Tang Ning had to calculate the budget for the heavy cavalry and report it to Emperor Chen.

Tang Ning didn't even eat a few bites of food for the whole day. By the afternoon, he was so busy that he felt dizzy and leaned back in a chair, thinking that he could fall asleep if he closed his eyes.

He was actually a lazy person. What he hated most was this kind of busy life. He worked so hard for Emperor Chen, it would be a bit unreasonable for him not to marry off his daughter...

After the Ministry of Works was closed, he could not go home, but had to go to the palace first.

Of course, this time he went to the palace not to discuss the marriage of his daughter with Emperor Chen, but to report the budget for building heavy cavalry.

Emperor Chen was still in the imperial study, but he was not reviewing memorials, but testing the three princes.

Tang Ning stood aside, waiting quietly.

The one who spoke now was King Duan. He stood in the palace and cupped his hands and said: "Father, the threat from the grassland is becoming more and more serious today, and the land of the Western Regions has become disloyal. I believe that it is important for civil servants to manage the court, but it is important for military officers to guard the borders." , is the prerequisite for peace and prosperity for the country and the people. Now that there is chaos in the northwest, the imperial court should expand military training, select more generals, and send them to the northwest..."

Although the Chen State did not emphasize literature over martial arts and did have martial arts exams, the popularity of martial arts exams was extremely low in comparison. Ordinary people did not even know that there was such a thing.

The suggestion put forward by King Duan is very suitable for the current situation of Chen State. Expanding the military examination will attract many young people with ability and dreams. The civil examination can only lead to officials, but the military examination can lead to the title of marquis. The rebellion in the northwest is very important. For Chen Guo, it is a huge trouble, but for others, it is not an opportunity to soar into the sky and benefit future generations?

Xiao Jue, Liu Jun and others went to the Western Regions and grasslands with this in mind.

Tang Ning was not surprised that Prince Duan could make such a suggestion. He had the Tang family behind him to make suggestions, and the counselors in the government were not just freeloaders. Judging from Huang Chen's expression, he should be very satisfied with Prince Duan.

Emperor Chen looked at Prince Duan with admiration in his eyes and said, "Very good, I have been thinking about this recently. I will leave this matter to you..."

"Thank you, Father." King Duan cupped his hands and bowed, "My son, I will live up to your father's trust!"

Emperor Chen looked at King Huai and said, "Do you have anything to say?"

King Huai cupped his hands and said, "I feel that Brother Duan Wang is absolutely right. What the court lacks now is generals. I feel that when the court expands martial arts, it can relax the restrictions on family background, so that it can recruit more people." Talents……"

King Huai's words are just a supplement to King Duan. There is nothing outstanding, but there are no omissions.

King Duan glanced at King Huai secretly, with a trace of displeasure in his eyes. Emperor Chen had no expression on his face. He looked at King Duan and said, "What King Huai said makes sense. You can handle this matter as you please. "

King Duan cupped his hands and said, "My son, I obey."

Chen Huang finally looked at King Kang and asked, "What about you?"

King Kang's heart skipped a beat. If he had known that his father was coming to the palace today to take the school exam, he would have asked Mr. Xu to prepare it for him in advance. At this time, there was nothing in his mind, and he hesitated: "Father, my son, Erchen feels..."

After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't say anything. Emperor Chen frowned and said, "What have you been doing in the house these days?"

King Kang's eyebrows suddenly moved, he looked at King Duan and said: "Father, what the two royal brothers just said is what I want to say, I..."

Chen Huang waved his hand impatiently and said: "Okay, okay, you can go down..."

Prince Kang thought he had escaped danger and slowly exited the palace. As he left, he looked at Tang Ning with an incomprehensible look.

After reading the meaning in his eyes, Tangning couldn't help but feel a little amused.

Among the three princes, Emperor Chen's favorite was obviously Prince Duan. If Prince Kang was smarter or more diligent, he might be able to catch up. If he continues to be stupid like this, he will have no chance of being crowned king.

If this situation continues, if nothing happens, the fringe King Huai and the idiot Kang Wang will become the stepping stones for King Duan to ascend to the throne. If King Duan is kind, King Huai may be sent to a remote area. From now on, King Kang can prepare for his funeral.

After the three princes left, Emperor Chen looked at Tang Ning and asked, "Have you calculated the cost of building heavy cavalry?"

Tangning nodded and said, "Your Majesty, we've basically settled the matter."

Chen Huang said: "I want to build a heavy cavalry team of 100,000 people. How much money do I need every year?"

Tangning thought for a moment and stretched out five fingers.

"Five million taels?" Emperor Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Five million taels was enough to cover the expenses of the entire northwest region for several years, but it was still cost-effective to use five million taels to build an invincible army.

He looked at Tang Ning and said, "I will give you six million taels. Give me the best of everything..."

Tang Ning looked at Huang Chen and corrected, "Your Majesty, it's fifty million taels."

"..."

Chen Huang was obviously frightened. He stood up suddenly and asked uncertainly: "How much?" /13_13482/
