Emperor Hongzhi didn¡¯t care much about the artillery, so long as it didn¡¯t cause trouble.
After all, no matter how sharp this artillery is, it is limited.
Since Ma Wensheng insisted on verifying whether Xishan forged the artillery according to the drawings, he only needed to have someone convinced by both parties check it out.
This person must be able to convince the public and have a certain influence in the military. At the same time, he must also gain the trust of the palace.
Isn¡¯t the most trusted person in the palace the British Duke Zhang Mao?
Otherwise, how can the sacrifice be given to Zhang Qing's house?
Speaking of Zhang Mao, Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, said with a smile: "A few days ago, an official document came from the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, saying that the British prince was offering sacrifices to the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and he was crying profusely in front of the tomb of Emperor Taizu Gao. It was very sad and made others feel sad. . However, the British Duke has to come back to worship Changling and Dingling I think he will come back in the next few days. After all, it is an auspicious day in seven days. The old prince consort has been in poor health recently, thanks to the British Duke. ."
After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi also sighed: "The Zhang Qing family has always been respectful to their ancestors, so let's wait until he comes back."
This matter at Wang Gongchang is now over.
Ma Wensheng remembered something: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is here to build ships, and the money and food have been drawn up. I don't know when Your Majesty will take a look at it, and where is the internal money"
This is to urge the emperor to give money quickly.
Wang Ao and others cheered up.
Asking for money is the most important thing.
Emperor Hongzhi felt that he was surrounded by wolves, and his old face turned red: "Tomorrowsend the book to me, and I will take a look."
We have to make sure that the people below are not emptied of the money in the name of shipbuilding. Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Approximately, how much silver is needed."
Upon hearing that His Majesty was willing to give money, the atmosphere in the Nuan Pavilion suddenly became lively and everyone was in high spirits. Ma Wensheng said quickly: "The amount of silver proposed by the Ministry of War is 1.36 million taels. There are six ships that need to be supervised at the moment." Thirteen ships, ship materials need silver, and the craftsmen also need money, as well as sails, anchors, etc., there is money everywhere. Not only that, a large number of boatmen need to be fed and drank, and the sailors need to be trained need"
"Why is it 1.36 million taels?" Emperor Hongzhi said anxiously: "Last year it was only 750,000 taels."
This difference is not that big. Emperor Hongzhi glared at Ma Wensheng.
Ma Wensheng said calmly and calmly: "Last year we built thirty-five ships, and this year we built some more. I have already saved a lot."
"" Emperor Hongzhi suddenly didn't want to go to the Western Sea. He said with a gloomy face, "Why did you suddenly build so many more?"
Ma Wensheng said: "The fleet has been sailing to the Western Ocean for more than two years, and there has been no news so far. Therefore, the cabinet is worried whether something happened to the fleet. After all, no one knows what will happen in the vast blue ocean. If something happens, An accident"
Emperor Hongzhi realized deeply that the Western Ocean was a bottomless pit.
??Building a ship requires money, and after building a ship, you have to feed so many people. After so many people go out to sea, maybe a fleet encounters a storm, and they are all finished, and in the end they lose everything.
He glanced at Fang Jifan with resentment. Fang Jifan lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
"Hey!" Emperor Hongzhi sat down and said with a straight face, "I want to take a good look at the account books and think about it."
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of a million taels or more every year, what¡¯s the point? It¡¯s better to die and be clean.
Emperor Hongzhi felt that he had been cheated by Fang Jifan.
Especially when I saw the tenderness and care that Wang Ao and others looked at Fang Jifan.
"I don't know when Xu Jing will come back?" Emperor Hongzhi asked melancholy.
Fang Jifan said with a smile: "I think it should be soon."
Emperor Hongzhi made a face and said nothing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Fang Jifan simply left. Emperor Hongzhi was obviously not in the mood to continue the discussion, so he waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please step aside."
So Fang Jifan followed the flow of people and left the Nuan Pavilion.
Not long after he left the Nuan Pavilion, Wang Ao stepped forward quickly: "Captain."
"Huh?" Fang Jifan looked at Wang Ao, are we very familiar with him?
Wang Ao said enthusiastically: "Come to my house for a few drinks when you have time."
You still have to be polite, so Fang Jifan said, "Okay."
Wang Ao stroked his beard and nodded with a glowing face: "A hero emerges from a young man. Having a son like a captain will be a comfort for the rest of his life."
"" Fang Jifan didn't want to talk to him for a moment, and he was angry with you.People are lucky to be stupid, but why
Queen Zhang looked miserable: "Where is Yanling?"
"I heard that Jianchang Bo wanted to stay in Golden Continent. He said that it was a paradise of caves and paradise, and he wanted to support the next fleet sailing to the Western Ocean, so he stayed there and led hundreds of people to cultivate there ¡¡±
not dead¡¡
¡°At this moment, Queen Zhang¡¯s heart finally relaxed.
Although I can't see this brother, I have thought of the worst outcome, and now I am satisfied if I can live.
She was immediately overjoyed: "What about the people? Where are they?"
"I'm on my way from Quanzhou to Tianjin. I think we can arrive there in these days."
Emperor Hongzhi was very excited when he heard that the fleet was back. The Zhang family brothers and Zhou La could come back, so the imperial grandmother and the Zhang family could rest assured. But when he heard that they had found the Golden Continent, his eyes suddenly lit up: " Golden Continent, found it?¡±
"I found it. It is exactly the same as what was marked on the map. I came here to report the good news from Quanzhou. Your Majesty, in a few days, Ambassador Xu will land at Tianjin Guard and come to see Your Majesty. He will report to Huangjinzhou." experiences.¡±
Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath and raised his eyebrows: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
