The reason why Zhang Tianshang thought of a way for Zhou Baotong so much was mainly because Zhou Baotong was a member of his faction.

If Zhou Baotong is not a member of his faction and does not honor him, he will give Zhou Baotong a standard military fund every year.

But because Zhou Baotong is a member of his faction, and he owes Zhou Baotong a certain favor, Zhang Tianshang's annual military expenditure to Zhou Baotong is higher than the normal military expenditure of the navy, which also makes the navy of Qi have unprecedented development.

Because only with money can it develop, and the more money you get, the faster the navy will develop, and Zhang Tianshang can be said to think of ways for Zhou Baotong every year to get high military spending.

From some places where there is no need to spend money, the money saved is given to Zhou Baotong, so that Zhou Baotong can vigorously develop the navy, of course, these funds must be used for the construction of the future, this is Zhang Tianshang's advice to Zhou Baotong.

If Zhou Baotong swallowed it privately, Zhang Tianshang would be the first to do it, because it was related to Zhang Tianshang's future.

I don't say whether the navy is useful or not, but if you give money, you must build the navy and show its proper characteristics, and when it is really useful, you can't disappoint the emperor.

And Zhou Baotong's expedition to Sulu won a big victory, Zhou Baotong's face was bright, and his face in the sky was not radiant?

Because of his support, the navy of Qi can be vigorously developed, and you can win this expedition so easily and play the national prestige of Qi.

"This week, Baotong has a heart!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and said.

"Your Majesty, every general of the Qi country, the courtiers of the Qi country, their hearts are all about the Qi country and your majesty!" Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

"I once gave the navy a privateer order in order to build the navy, and the things they looted were all their own, I didn't expect that Baotong would be able to bring me some gifts this week!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and said.

"Your Majesty, didn't you start this war just to recapture the materials captured by the pirates? Some of this gift may be His Majesty's supplies! Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

"I really want to seize the supplies, but what I value more is the national prestige of my Qi country, and I have a reappearance that the spoils of war obtained by the navy belong to the navy, and my materials are captured by the navy, and of course they also belong to the navy!" Qi Xiaobai said lightly, although Qi Xiaobai said so, but Qi Xiaobai's materials, no one in the navy dared to swallow them privately.

Zhou Baotong got all the belongings of Qi Xiaobai's materials from Zhang Tianshang's hands, and Zhou Baotong began to liquidate his loot, and finally released Qi Xiaobai's materials separately and returned them to Qi Xiaobai.

The navy knew that launching this expedition was a clear display of Qi's national prestige and exterminating the Nanyang pirates, but in fact it was to help Qi Xiaobai recapture supplies.

"Your Majesty, this is some of Zhou Baotong's intentions, Your Majesty can't live up to the wishes of the courtiers!" Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

Qi Xiaobai nodded, and then said lightly: "It's still what Zhang Shangqing thinks, this is the courtier's intention, I refused, wouldn't it be a good idea to live up to the courtier's kindness, this will make the courtiers think more!" ”

Zhang Tianshang is giving Qi Xiaobai a tip, and Qi Xiaobai is also following this tip, if Qi Xiaobai directly takes away this material in a bright way, it will make people feel that Qi Xiaobai is untrustworthy, and he clearly gave the navy a privateer order, and all the materials obtained by the navy belong to the navy.

But as soon as Zhang Tianshang said this, this nature became Zhou Baotong's gift to Qi Xiaobai, the courtier's gift, the courtier's heart, this is His Majesty, how can the emperor's bear to refuse?

So Qi Xiaobai accepted this gift and this heart.

"This week, Baotong is a good seedling!" Qi Xiaobai said lightly.

Then Zhang Tian looked at Qi Xiaobai and said: "Your Majesty, although Zhou Baotong is born as a thief, he is affectionate and righteous, and he is indeed a seedling who is easy to cultivate, but he is already a naval admiral, although he has not participated in the cabinet meeting, but the cabinet also has his position, his official rank is general, although he is a naval general, but in fact, he is at the same level as the sea and land, and his status is not lower than Tian Ji and Jiang Ai on the bright side!" ”

Qi Xiaobai nodded, although on the bright side, Zhou Baotong's official rank is general, and theoretically speaking, his official rank and status are on the same level as Tian Ji and Jiang Ai, but in fact, Zhou Baotong's status is still incomparable with these two, and even with the lieutenant general of the Central Committee of Qi State.

After all, the strategic center of gravity of Qi is Kyushu, and the emphasis is still on the army, and for the navy, although Qi Xiaobai values it, it has not yet paid attention to it to a certain extent.

Qi Xiaobai nodded: "My Qi country attaches great importance to the navy, and in the future, my Qi country will unify Kyushu, and this sea is the expansion road of my Qi country!" ”

"Zhou Baotong is in the prime of life, and his status in the court of Qi in the future will not be worse than Tian Ji and Jiang Ai!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and said.

Zhang Tianshang smiled and didn't speak, he felt that Qi Xiaobai was just a polite remark, and he felt that Zhou Baotong was developing no matter how he developed, and he couldn't develop to the point of Tian Ji and Jiang Ai.

Tian Ji has a hereditary marquis, and the children of the family are all capable people, and many nobles are attached to the Tian family, and Tian Ji himself has a great talent, and this Qi country has a national importance.

And Jiang Ai was born in the Jiang family, which was born in a military family, and now he has accepted the status of the first army of Qi State's 'Samurai Legion' is very high, and on the other hand, Zhou Baotong is just a thief, how can he be compared with these two noble-born generals?

So Zhang Tianshang thought that Qi Xiaobai said this, it was just a polite remark, after all, Zhou Baotong was his doorman, and Qi Xiaobai said this to give him Zhang Tianshang a kind of praise.

Zhang Tian looked at Qi Xiaobai and said, "Zhou Baotong has a matter, I hope Your Majesty can do it!" ”

"Zhou Baotong has just made such a great achievement, what should be rewarded must be rewarded!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and said.

"What's the matter with Zhou Baotong, tell me about it!" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and asked.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Baotong has a brother who is the king of the sledgehammer, he is Zhou Baotong's vice general, and in the navy, he has also made many achievements!"

"Zhou Baotong hopes to give his brother Wang Dazhui a chance to enter the Jixia School Palace, so that Wang Dazhui can further his studies in the Jixia School Palace!" Zhang Tianshang looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

"Zhang Shangqing, do you know what the original intention of my Jixia School Palace was for?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang and asked.

Zhang Tianshang pondered for a while, then looked at Qi Xiaobai and said: "Your Majesty hopes that the children of the poor families in the world can also enter the ranks, go to the upper class, and give the children of the poor families in the world a chance to jump into the dragon gate!"
