Chapter 505: Good Son-in-law
Zhao Yin staggered back to the Horse Mansion, what they didn't expect was that the eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Yanjin were drinking tea in his mansion, waiting for him to return.
"What did Your Majesty say?"
After seeing Zhao Yin, the eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and couldn't wait to ask.
"In the matter of spices, Your Majesty agrees with you to get a piece of the pie, but there is a premise, that is, when building ships, you must give priority to the imperial court, otherwise you will not be allowed to give you technology!"
Zhao Yin shrugged helplessly, saying that he could not do anything about it.
"Naturally, there is no problem with this!"
The eldest grandson Wuji immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, he didn't want to compete with Li Er for this first bite of meat, if he offended His Majesty for this, it would be a thing that outweighed the loss.
"Okay, I'll go to the shipyard tomorrow, and I will definitely build the ship in the shortest possible time!"
Cheng Yanjin stood up and patted his chest to reassure.
"Your Majesty wants to meddle in the spice business?"
The eldest grandson Wuji did not leave in a hurry, but asked again.
"Your Majesty and I will form a caravan and stand fifty percent of each other's shares!"
Zhao Yin said directly.
There is no need to hide this, it is estimated that it will not take a few days, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will receive the news.
"Caravans? How many boats are you going to want? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's heart chuckled.
The caravan, which is not something that can be solved by a few ships, looked at him with a wary face at the moment!
"Thirty ships, but Zhao Guogong, please rest assured, you can build ships for yourself and Your Majesty at the same time, as long as you are on Your Majesty's side, the speed of shipbuilding is a little faster, then all the problems will be solved, right?"
Zhao Yin hurriedly helped him come up with an idea, there was no way! This is also his father-in-law, he can't favor one over the other!
"It's good!"
After hearing his suggestion, Eldest Sun Wuji nodded with satisfaction.
No one will oppose such a plan!
"That'...... Except for the matter of spices, His Majesty has not asked about other things, has he? ”
The eldest grandson Wuji was still a little uneasy, for fear that his brother-in-law would set his eyes on them.
"Yes! If you don't say that I almost forgot, there happens to be something that needs my father-in-law's help! ”
Zhao Yin hurriedly showed a flattering face.
"Tell me about it!"
His attitude immediately made the eldest grandson Wuji wary.
This kid is definitely not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he has suffered losses in his hands many times!
"Father-in-law, don't be nervous, I just hope you can help me find some officers who are good at water warfare to teach at the Naval Academy!"
Zhao Yin kept rubbing his hands.
This old yin can't do anything else, but the network is good!
"Rabbit cub, are you using the old man as a coolie?"
After hearing Zhao Yin's request, Eldest Sun Wuji's face instantly darkened.
This bastard has nothing to do all day long, and he actually dumped this bad thing on him!
"Father-in-law, forgive me, my son-in-law is too busy this time and has no time at all, please!"
Zhao Yin hurriedly bowed to him.
He is notoriously hands-off, and he will never do this kind of time-consuming and laborious thing himself!
"I'll explain this later, and ah! Hurry up, your kid, the old man is still waiting to hold his grandson! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand angrily, but he didn't mean to let go of this kid, it was a task given to him by his elders.
"This ...... You have to go with the flow, it's not just hard work! ”
Zhao Yin suddenly sweated profusely.
He also wondered if there was something wrong with him.
Otherwise, why haven't these women's stomachs moved until now?
"If it's okay, go back and work hard!"
After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, he left directly with his back and no longer gave him a chance to speak.
Cheng Yanjin had to sigh, his life was not good, he didn't have a daughter, otherwise, could he also be sent to this kid's bed, and then in front of him, he could also be like an old yin.
Early the next morning, a piece of land next to Weishui was fenced off.
And the people who enclosed the land were sent by Zhao Yin!
If nothing else, he intends to build a naval school here!
He also knew that over time, the shipyard would inevitably move to the seashore.
And the eldest grandson Wuji and Cheng Yanjin also sent people to Jiangnan one after another to acquire the shipyard and prepare for the start of construction.
Because of the caravan, Li Er called Zhao Yin to the palace again.
"This caravan will inevitably need a lot of ships, and the shipyard must be expanded, but I don't know whether to continue to recruit craftsmen to Chang'an in the Jiangnan area, or build another shipyard in the Jiangnan area, so, I want to hear your boy's opinion?"
"The best choice is to set up a shipyard in Jiangnan, after all, there are more shipbuilding craftsmen along the coast, and it is more convenient to test the ship.
Zhao Yin directly said his thoughts.
"Yes, your kid coincides with my thoughts, so I will make an order and let the preparations start over there!"
Li Er nodded and agreed.
The emergence of a new type of spire-bottomed sailing ship will inevitably raise the economy of Datang to a higher level again, and Laizhou will also be more developed because of this reform.
"Your Majesty can select a few craftsmen from the general supervisors, after all, they have actually operated and are more experienced!"
Zhao Yin had to speak again to remind.
"Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
Li Er nodded slightly and asked again.
It is not easy to complete such a project based on drawings alone, so it is absolutely necessary to send experienced people there.
"Liu Hongxi, who will be the master of the prison, can take on this important responsibility, I don't know what Your Majesty wants?"
In fact, as long as the craftsmen who have participated in shipbuilding, they have the ability to go to Jiangnan, but there are too few people he knows, so he can only catch strong men casually.
"Okay, you kid has never disappointed me, just this person!"
Li Er grinned.
If it was recommended by others, Li Er might think that this was their team that was secretly cultivating themselves!
But his son-in-law is different, he has tried many times, and he has no ambition for power, which is also the root of his connivance with Zhao Yin.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
He didn't have any surprises about this, although he controlled the entire general as a prison, but he really didn't know much about those talents inside, let alone Li Er.
After Li Er casually asked some more about the caravan, Zhao Yin was able to answer fluently, so he let him go!
The Ministry of Engineering was in charge of building the Naval School, so he was going to go there and say hello.
"Master Horse, I don't know why you came here today?"
After the Ministry of Industry Shangshu saw Zhao Yin, he greeted him with trepidation.
Zhao Yin's status in Datang is now in full swing, who dares not to give face?
What's more, the current Ministry of Industry is mainly responsible for the construction of cement roads, housing reconstruction, railways, various factories, etc., from the past no one cared about, to the current busy foot hit the back of the head, all these changes, all because of the horse!
Of course, no one would blame the colt for the incident, but he was full of gratitude!
The busier they are, the more their income is increasing!
Now a month's income has to catch up with the previous six months to a year's income!
