"Shipbuilding?" Chen Zheng was stunned, "What kind of ship to build?" ”

Tang Yi took over the conversation and said, "Build a ship for the whaling team." ”

When Chen Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed, this is another government order, and he likes to receive such an order the most.

"How many are you going to build?" Chen Zheng asked.

"Of course, the more the merrier!" Xiao Zan hurriedly said.

Chen Zheng was a little speechless, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, if you give me a number, I can also estimate the cost." ”

"What cost? Isn't Master Chen not taking money? Tang Yi asked stunned.

It will be Chen Zheng's turn to be stunned, and said: "Just kidding, the door is open, and the customers are from all directions, how can there be a reason to do business without charging money, Tang Shangshu has to oppress him?" Although he is a craftsman, he also knows that he is mighty and unyielding! Today, in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I want to see what methods Tang Shangshu has! ”

Tang Yi forgot to help Chen Zheng set up the line engineering department before, which had already made Chen Zheng a little angry, today is better, he actually thought about letting himself be a coolie for free, he was really angry!

Tang Yi was frightened by Chen Zheng, when the two talked before, Chen Zheng was not like this at all.

The previous Chen Zheng was gentle and elegant, like a humble gentleman, Tang Yi admired it very much; And now Chen Zheng, grinning with bared teeth, like a roar, is very terrifying.

"How can this official bully others? Just come and ask Chen Zheng to see if you can discuss. Tang Yi's momentum actually weakened.

Chen Zheng waved his hand and said, "If you don't do it in vain, Tang Shangshu should go to someone else." ”

Tang Yi still didn't give up, and continued: "But this official heard that the boat used by the patrol team in Dongyang County was given by Master Chen for free. ”

"Who said that?" Chen Zheng hurriedly asked.

"Yes......" Tang Yi just wanted to answer, but suddenly listened, his eyes looked at Xiao Zan, and he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Xiao Zan coughed lightly, knowing that it was time for him to perform, so he stepped forward and said, "It was Gu who told Tang Shangshu." ”

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince how he found out?" Chen Zheng asked.

Xiao Zan straightened his chest and said, "Gu personally took Dongyang, so naturally I can inquire, Brother Chen, don't fool me." ”

"How dare you be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there are just some things, His Highness only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other." Chen Zheng said lightly.

Xiao Zan was a little puzzled and asked, "Then Brother Chen will explain to Gu, what is the second?" ”

Chen Zheng motioned for everyone to sit down, and then said: "At that time, Dongyang County was hit by a famine, and the people had no food to use, struggling on the edge of life and death......

"I heard from Yu Youguang of the household department that they have mobilized a large amount of money and grain for disaster relief, why don't the people have food to eat?" Tang Yi certainly interrupted.

Chen Zheng was a little dissatisfied, and Li Shuang next to him was also very unhappy, and said directly: "Then do you know which grain is evenly distributed to the people, and how much is left?" ”

"How much is left? I don't know. Tang Yi said honestly.

Li Shuang snorted and said: "The food distributed to the people is only enough for a day's rations, what good can this be?" ”

Tang Yi was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "What? How can it be so little? ”

"First, there are so many people affected by the disaster that naturally there is not enough to divide them. Second, the allocated grain is already pitiful, and there is no way to divide it! Li Shuang said angrily.

Tang Yi seemed to be very angry when he heard this, slapped his thigh and said: "Okay, he Yu Youguang, he actually deceived the official, obviously he didn't take out much food, and he said that the household department was bankrupt, and the official must go to him again to theorize!" ”

Chen Zheng glanced at Tang Yi, the other party was the secretary of the military department, and he was not easy to scold, so he had to say euphemistically: "If Tang Shangshu feels cheated, he can go to the household department now, and there is no need to explain the matter of the patrol ship in Dongyang County." ”

Tang Yi's expression froze, and then he reacted, the purpose of accompanying His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to find Chen Zheng was to let him build a ship for the whaling team, and as for the matter of money and food, it was not an important matter.

Tang Yi smiled wryly, sat down again, and said, "Master Chen, the official is a little excited, you say, you continue." ”

"Brother Chen, hurry up, Lone is still waiting." Xiao Zan also urged.

Chen Zheng thought for a moment and asked, "Where did you just go?" ”

"Speaking of people, they are struggling on the brink of life and death." Li Shuang held Chen Zheng's words and said.

Chen Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, you didn't see the tragic image at that time, it was just white bones exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!" ”

Xiao Zan and Tang Yi both gasped, they really couldn't imagine that the people who encountered the disaster could be so miserable.

"Brother Chen, I don't remember it so miserable?" Li Shuang said beside him.

As soon as Li Shuang's words came out, the solemn atmosphere in the room was immediately broken, Xiao Zan looked at Chen Zheng and asked, "Isn't it that miserable?" ”

Chen Zheng glared at Li Shuang and said, "Your Highness, you know poetry, of course you know that this poetry creation is inevitably a bit exaggerated, so don't care about this kind of detail." ”

Xiao Zan couldn't confirm whether those people were really miserable, but Chen Zheng praised him for understanding poetry, and he could still understand.

So, Xiao Zan nodded and said, "This is just an exaggerated rhetorical technique, Brother Chen's purpose is just to show that the victims are miserable, as long as everyone can understand it, don't be too entangled." ”

"It's still His Highness smart, and I can see it at once." Chen Zheng took the opportunity to send Xiao Zan a sycophant.

Xiao Zan really liked this, with a smug expression, looking at everyone.

Tang Yi couldn't help but remind, "Your Highness, let's listen to Chen Zheng's explanation first." ”

"Your Highness, at that time, human life was greater than heaven, and everything everyone did was to survive." Chen Zhengdao, "So I built a dock and made a big fishing boat." ”

"Then why did you later send the big ship to the patrol team in Dongyang County as a patrol ship?" Tang Yi asked, what he is most concerned about is this, can you give it to them, can't you give it to me?

Chen Zheng smiled slightly and said, "This is something that His Highness doesn't know." ”

"What's the matter?" Xiao Zan was very curious.

Chen Zheng sighed and said: "Zai Xia was robbed by the pirates in the East China Sea, and it was the Dongyang County Commander who rescued the people from the pirates in Xia, if there were no them, there would be a dead body in Xia, so in order to thank them, Zai Xia will refit the fishing boat and use it as a patrol boat for them." ”

"I see, I didn't expect Brother Chen to have such a dangerous experience." Xiao Zan nodded.

Seeing that they all understood, Chen Zheng stood up and walked outside.

"Brother Chen, where are you going? Let's go together. Li Shuang shouted behind him.

Chen Zhengtou replied without replying: "Go to the bathroom and take a bath!" ”
