Originally, the launch of the treasure ship into the sea was a big event that attracted worldwide attention, and if he could, Xie Zhi would definitely observe it with his own eyes.

It's a pity that now that there is a matter of widows, it is impossible to observe it in person.

Not only that, but this treasure ship must also be able to rush to Taizhou as quickly as possible.

Wang Shouren and Xu Jing are both vigorous and resolute people, and since they have determined that the treasure ship is fine, they will not delay any longer.

After all the soldiers boarded the ship one after another, the two also boarded the ship.

After getting on the boat, Xu Jing directly shouted an order to start the boat.

The person in charge of driving the ship was the craftsman recruited by Xu Jing to build the treasure ship, and not only that, but the people who built the ship and the people who installed the artillery were now all on the ship.

Their ships were built, and their guns were added, but they didn't go into the water to try it.

This time I went to Taizhou, on the one hand, to transport troops to prepare for the anti-Japanese war, and on the other hand, to launch the treasure ship for sea trials.

I have to say that Xie Zhi, Wang Shouren, and Xu Jing are not small.

This treasure ship has not yet been tested, and it dares to be used to transport troops, in case something goes wrong with this ship, and those soldiers of Yun Zhongwei are buried at the bottom of the sea, then the responsibility will be great.

As soon as he left the port, Xu Jing put his hand on the railing, looked at the endless sea, and said with a smile: "The Three Treasure Eunuchs are really very human, and the treasure ship drawn is basically free of error, so stable, and it is not much different from the land!" ”

Although Xu Jing said that he supervised the manufacture of this treasure ship, it was the first time for him to sit on such a large ship, and he couldn't help but sigh a few times in his heart.

Wang Shouren chimed in and replied: "That's true, although these soldiers of Yunzhongwei are northerners and have never been on a boat, if this boat can be so stable all the time, then it will not be a problem to fight with the Japanese for a few rounds when they get to the place." ”

When Xu Jing and Wang Shouren were standing on the board of the boat and blowing the sea breeze, a group of soldiers from Yun Zhongwei were also standing on the board of the ship with freshness, talking and laughing, but they were all curious.

When a northerner sees the sea, he sees snow in the south.

Wang Shouren didn't care about the curiosity of these soldiers, and only told He Sanyou to pay attention to vigilance.

Although the Japanese at this time are concentrated in the southeast coastal area, after all, this sea route is also the only way for the Japanese to pass through the nest, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship.

After telling these things, Wang Shouren and Xu Jing entered the cabin.

After entering the cabin, Xu Jing took out the treasured good wine and said: "This wine was bought when I started to build the treasure ship, thinking that when the treasure ship is completed, we will drink it together, Zhixian and Bohu and the two of them don't have this oral administration, let's drink it together." ”

Wang Shouren led the troops to Yun Zhongwei, and he couldn't drink.

But seeing that Xu Jing was so happy, he didn't refuse, and said, "Okay, drink!" ”

Xu Jing got up and dismantled the wine, poured out two bowls, took another roast chicken, and said: "I know that Brother Shouren, as the chief officer of Yunzhongwei, should not get drunk while marching, and only drinking this bowl is considered a celebration." ”

Xu Jing could understand, Wang Shouren no longer insisted, and said: "I'm really sorry, when the Japanese are defeated, let's have a good drink together when we celebrate the wine." ”

After only drinking one bowl, Xu Jing took the rest to Yin Shui and asked him to take it and distribute it to those craftsmen.

And he worked with Wang Shouren to solve the roast chicken on the table.

"Since the time of Taizu, the imperial court has never thought of really solving the troubles, Taizong's exploration trade, but just alleviated, I Ming did not take advantage of it, and then the Japanese civil strife, the exploration trade stopped, and the coastal raids re-emerged, but my court is not as tough as Taizong, Your Majesty is heavy on literature and light on military force, and it is really unthinkable to send troops."

Xu Jing sighed and said: "Your Majesty was able to deal with the magistrate for this reason, and I don't know how the magistrate persuaded Your Majesty." ”

Wang Shouren pulled a piece from the chicken, and replied: "No matter how good it is, it's just a rhetorical fantasy, if you want Your Majesty to make up your mind to send troops, you have to let Your Majesty see the strength, this strength is not only in terms of soldiers, but also has to solve the problem of money and food, it just so happens that the county magistrate has this strength, and when he came out, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince engaged in fundraising among the eunuchs." ”

Xu Jing has not been in Beijing for a long time, and he has not deliberately inquired about some things in Beijing, and he does not know much about what Wang Shouren said.

After listening to Wang Shouren's words, the boss with his mouth open asked, "Really?" Those who are stingy, will they take the money out? ”

Wang Shouren smiled and said: "If they are directly allowed to take it, they will not give out this silver, but the British Duke and the magistrate have taken the lead in setting an example, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally went to ask them, if they don't take it, they are still worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will give them small shoes, some of them have to be taken, and if they don't, even if they smash the pot and sell iron, they have to take it, with these, the money and grain for the war will definitely be enough, as long as the rear can solve the problem of money and grain, then those obstructions in the front, the magistrate will naturally be able to solve it logically." ”

In terms of controlling the situation, Wang Shouren is still very prophetic.

A few hours after the treasure ship was launched, Emperor Hongji, who was far away in Beijing, received the news.

The factory guard knew that Emperor Hongzhi attached great importance to the treasure ship, so he kept an eye on the movements.

Before the treasure ship went to sea, they sent the letter to Beijing through their own means.

When the factory guard sent these news to Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao was reporting his results to Emperor Hongzhi in the warm pavilion.

When Zhu Houzhao was engaged in door-to-door fundraising, it was not that no one cried poor.

But with those leaders in front, there are more reasons to reply.

Whenever someone cried poor, Zhu Houzhao grabbed the account book and looked at it for the first half of the day, and replied: "Your military department also donated, how much did Wang Shilang donate, look at the palace, Wang Shilang donated a thousand taels of silver, Liu Shilang and Wang Shilang have the same official position, the same as Lu, the children are similar, and the people who need to be supported are also similar, but Wang Shilang is shouting that he has no money, there are only two situations, Wang Shilang either doesn't want to give face to the palace, or Wang Shilang spends all this money in Goolan Music Fang, no, go back to Ming Father, Sent Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Haosheng to check. ”

Dropping this sentence, Zhu Houzhao didn't stay long, just raised his leg and left.

Often halfway through, he will be pulled and shouted: "Your Highness stays, the minister can raise it, and he will donate a thousand taels." ”

Zhu Houzhao asked for silver, as long as he promised to give silver, then everything would be easy to say.

Zhu Houzhao smiled all over his face, replied to the previous sentence, and said: "Wang Shilang is the minister of the humerus of the loyal monarchy, and Wang Shilang has a credit for the great cause of peace, and the palace will remember it." ”

A false sentence, a thousand taels of silver, and you can get it.

In fact, wherever Zhu Houzhao patronized the house, there were Jinyiwei and Dongchang to find out that there were many fortunes under his name.

The money in the court is really low, and it is not easy to feed a family with those silver, let alone take out a few years of money to donate, which is simply unrealistic.

The families that Zhu Houzhao went to all had fields and shops at home.

Those officials can't even plug their teeth.

All those honest eunuchs who have no land at home are often righteous people, and they will not look at how much the chief has donated to support the peace of the people.

During the four or five days of fundraising, Zhu Houzhao handled it very smoothly.

When he reported his achievements in the warm pavilion, he was very complacent, and said: "Father, the son has only been five days, and he has raised more than 50,000 taels, these silver can completely solve the money and food of the army of the Ping Wa, not to mention, Xie Wu's method is really very effective, those eunuchs are really not a thing, they have squeezed so many people's fat and people's ointment, and they are reluctant to take some silver to fight against the Japanese." ”

Zhu Houzhao did this errand really neatly.

Since the Tumubao Change, the status of civil officials in the DPRK and China has soared.

Some of the emperor's wills above, if they touch the interests of the ministers, it will be difficult to implement them at all.

Now, what Zhu Houzhao is doing is also knocking on this layer of interest barriers of Wenchen.

Of course, in this case, those Wenchen will fight back.

And this is what Emperor Hongzhi needs, he wants to solve this chronic problem when he is in power, so that Zhu Houzhao will no longer have to be checked and balanced by civil officials when he ascends the throne.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao so happy, Emperor Hongzhi was also happy in his heart.

But on his face, he scolded: "Xie Zhi didn't learn the benefits of that kid, but he learned the stinky problems that the kid talked about, can't you be stable?" ”

was reprimanding, Mu Bin and Xiao Jing sent the news of the treasure ship going to sea at the same time.

"The treasure ship has gone to sea? Then the matter of peace and security should be put on the agenda in a few days, right? ”
