It's late autumn.

Up and down the palace, preparations are being made for the ceremony of Zen concession.

The crown prince is also busy with his first national policy since he became a pro-government, and he is trying to make way for the sea ban by all means.

Of course, Shen Dagongzi has become the leader of all this.

And the Shen family. It can also be said that in order to reopen the shipyard and build a large ship, almost everything was done.

For a time, the crown prince ordered the re-recruitment of the craftsmen and sailors who had built large ships during the Yongle period.

And most of those craftsmen are old, and when they hear about the recruitment of the Son of Heaven, most of them are their apprentices who come to answer the call, and they are just as a guide from the side.

As for the sailors, they can only hire pirates who have been adrift at sea all year round.

The amount of silver given by the imperial court was so abundant that it was enough to make them give up their livelihood as robbers at sea.

People, as long as there is a decent business to do and can survive, who will rob?

Everything was carried out step by step according to the steps mentioned by Siyu in the book, and it was really smooth.

Several families worked together to build large ships for the reopening of the shipyard, investing in shares, and everyone knew the benefits of opening the sea ban.

But the investment for a time is too huge, this time led by the imperial court, with Shen Dagongzi, who has been operating maritime business for many years, as an agent, which can convince everyone.

For a long time, there has been a lack of such a leader, and there is no way to bring the strength of all the families together.

Now that the imperial court is taking the lead, almost all the families have the financial resources to protect their interests, which is really invincible.

In this way, the imperial court will not be able to produce much silver at all, but it will be the one who will benefit the most.

Who wouldn't be tempted by that?

Just a few days passed, and the cost of opening the shipyard was quickly collected, and various craftsmen began to assemble at the shipyard.

The timber needed for the big ships was cut down from the deep mountains and then drifted down the canal to Quanzhou.

On one side is to gather craftsmen, and on the other side is to transport timber, and no one is delayed in the work on both sides.

All the work is rushing as far as possible.

Almost all the steps are assigned according to what Siyu mentioned in the recital, and they are implemented step by step in an orderly manner.

It can be said that on the one hand, it has accelerated the progress of the project, and on the other hand, it has also saved silver taels.

In just a few days, the shipyard has begun to take shape, and some of the former master craftsmen have begun to be in place.

It can be said that the whole complex matter, from the financial resources, to the collection of craftsmen and sailors, to the preparation of timber, was arranged in an orderly manner.

In fact, this is the result of many years of preparation by Shenda Company, and it owes an east wind.

Now this shareholder wind was submitted with Siyu's recital, which was very timely and blew in time.

Of course, it all went very well.

But in the eyes of the subjects and the people of the world, all of them demonstrated the talent and governance ability of the new monarch, and for a time made the prestige of the prince skyrocket.

The crown prince's talent has been faintly passed on in the court, but it has to overshadow his father, and even more than Chengzu many years ago.

Of course, this is what the emperor and the crown prince are happy to see today, and it is also suitable for this Zen ceremony to be held smoothly.

Let it all look so much in line with the people's will.

However, the credit for all this lies in Siyu's recital, and for Shen Dagongzi, he knows the benefits of this sea transportation.

For him, his knowledge is shallow, and his father does not support him, so although he knows the huge benefits contained here, he is unable to say it.

also lacked the support of the crown prince, so that he, the eldest son of the Shen family, was also staring and anxious.

As far as the crown prince is concerned, once he is in power, he will face the extreme emptiness of the treasury, which is the biggest problem he faces.

He is afraid that he urgently needs to open up sources and reduce expenditure.

And Siyu's recital is really too timely for him to talk about the long drought and the rain.

From then on, the prince regarded her not only as a scribe, but also as a virtuous helper.

This alone makes her position in the East Palace extremely special, and she has the momentum to replace the status of Crown Princess Gu.

For a while, Cuiwei Hall was in the limelight in the entire harem, Queen Liu's Xuejuan, and Queen Mother's Mother-in-law Ji ran here from time to time.

As for those palace maids and eunuchs, when they saw Siyu one by one, they were no longer as cold as in the past, and they loved to ignore them.

Instead, when he was far away, he bowed and bowed, his attitude was extremely humble, and his speech was extremely kind.

And Miaoyu and Miaoli beside Siyu, as well as her concubine and deer, have all risen in status.

Not to mention those palace maids, eunuchs and rough envoys, seeing them are extremely respectful, even those low-grade promises, always there, seeing them, extremely polite.

And Tianxianglou's business, although it is not as good as Xiaoyao Lou for the time being, but a day's flowing water, more than 10,000 taels of silver.

In addition, she was the Oiran before and married into the palace, which made this Tianxianglou even more famous.

In Yanliu Alley, Tianxianglou and Xiaoyao Lou have reached a tacit understanding invisibly.

Xiaoyao Lou is mainly based on business faces, while Tianxiang Lou is still dominated by geisha.

After fighting for so many years, the two sides have invisibly become well water and do not interfere with river water, and do not disturb each other.

In this way, Tianxianglou's business has not been greatly affected.

And this gave Siyu even more confidence, and rewarded those palace maids and eunuchs with a lot of money, and almost all the palace people were willing to run to Cuiwei Palace.

The silver rewarded by Siyu can be worth their income for a year, or even several years, and when they go to other palaces, they can only give three or five taels of silver, which is considered to be the top of the sky.

And when they go to Cuiwei Palace, they usually start at ten taels of silver, how can they not be tempted?

What's more, if you bring some valuable news and tell it to this Siyu lady, the reward will be doubled.

In this way, in the entire palace, the concubines, the emperor, and the crown prince and the courtiers played against each other, what they said and what they did, they could not escape Siyu's ears and eyes.

There are many things, Siyu is often the first to know.

It can also be said that many things in the palace, as long as the concubines, emperors, and princes of each palace know, Siyu must know.

However, what Siyu knows, they don't necessarily know.

On this day, Yang Hai, as usual, classified all the twists and turns, carefully pressed them into the food box, and came to Cuiwei Hall in the name of sending pastries to Siyu Niangniang.

In order not to be discovered by the royal officials and officials, he was extremely careful.

came to the door of Cuiwei Palace, Miaoyu and Miaoli saw that it was him, and hurriedly invited in.

The two sides have formed a wonderful tacit understanding.

After Yang Hai entered the house, he found Siyu and was painting again, but this time, it was no longer a Buddha statue, but a prince.

It's just that the prince in this painting, dressed in military uniform, is working with the rest of the guards to subdue a tiger.

The tiger opened its teeth and claws, looking extremely vicious, but under the prince's empty-handed uniform, he couldn't stop struggling.

The prince looked powerful, and he was unarmed to subdue a white-fronted tiger.

The tiger is very expressively painted, and although its eyes are vicious, there is a faint fear.

The prince was calm and calm, and the guards beside him all had looks of horror and admiration on their faces.

However, all this is not the most important thing.

What's even more amazing is that there is an emperor in this painting.

The emperor's dress is obviously that of an old man, with a hat, his eyes are very kind, but he looks very old and spicy.

Pointing with his fingers, he seemed to be teaching the prince how to subdue the tiger.

Such an unbridled imagination can't help but make people laugh, Yang Hai was behind her, and after seeing this painting, she couldn't help but laugh.

His laughter was too high-pitched, which disturbed Siyu all of a sudden, and he turned his head in surprise, and when he saw that it was him, he wanted to cover it with a cloth, but he stopped him.

Yang Hai couldn't help but admire: "Siyu Niangniang's imagination is really amazing, but I don't know what the two saints will think after the Eastern Dynasty and the emperor see it?" ”

As soon as he said this, Siyu's face turned red all of a sudden, and he said with great embarrassment: "It's just that I usually have nothing to do to draw and play, don't tell the prince!" ”

Yang Hai laughed and said: "If the prince and the emperor knew that Niangniang painted them as so brave, I don't know how happy I would be in my heart!" ”

In fact, Siyu did all this intentionally for Yang Hai to see.

Coming soon next month's Chongyang Festival, there will be a Zen ceremony, and the delicate relationship between the transfer of power, it can be said that this painting is very appropriate.

It not only cleverly conceals the loneliness and powerlessness of the old emperor when the new and old emperors are handed over, but also invisibly metaphorizes the role of the old emperor, the ability of the new emperor, and adds a moment of family affection.

This painting can be said to be very appropriate.

Siyu smiled at Yang Hai, pointed to the food box, and asked carefully, "Is there anything important that needs to be reviewed urgently?" ”

"But there is one thing, this fold is on the Xuanfu Su Dingfang, the second son of the Shen family led a team of soldiers to patrol the border as usual, but he didn't want to be ambushed, dozens of soldiers below him were all killed, and he was also seriously injured, which can be regarded as a military merit!"

When Siyu heard Yang Hai say this, she felt that her heart was clenched all of a sudden, but she tried her best not to show anything on her face, and was eager to see what Su Dingfang said on the fold.

Yang Hai obviously didn't see that there was something wrong with her, and still said to himself: "Shen Ergongzi is really brave, he has ten enemy soldiers, and the Eastern Dynasty has planned to make him a third-grade hussar general, hang a third-grade false position, and transfer him to the old camp fort in Shanxi!" ”

Siyu obviously knew that this was actually a kind of protection for him, after all, if he was a little away from the front line, he didn't have to live that kind of life of licking blood with a knife.

However, she thought about it, since the prince had already made a decision, why did she have to let herself give instructions?

Thinking of this, she looked at Yang Hai with a smile, only to find that he was staring at her face with a smile.

She understood at once.

Whether the second son of Shen is transferred to the rear of this fold, he can't approve it, and once it is approved, it will be bad for himself and the second son.

Thinking of this, Yang Hai in front of him, as a playmate who grew up with the prince since childhood, understands the prince's thoughts and intentions best.

Siyu glanced at him with a smile and smiled at him: "Then what should you say about Gonggong Yang?" ”
