Tang Yi, the secretary of the military department, returned to Beijing, but those who had seen him could see that he was not very happy.

Tang Yi was ordered to set up a whaling team, and there was no problem with the personnel, just transfer some from the local garrison.

It is not difficult to manufacture sea vessels, and the patrol ships in Dongyang County will be requisitioned and transferred to the Ministry of Industry to imitate them.

Even if the gang in the Ministry of Industry can't imitate it, it's a big deal to find Chen Zheng when the time comes.

Tang Yi had met Chen Zheng once in Shennongtan before, and he felt that the young man was still very good.

However, there is a prerequisite for all this.

Money is needed to build ships, and food is needed to train soldiers.

Fortunately, the food can be said that Tang Yi can coordinate the allocation of military food from other places.

But the money is a little weak, and there is no spare money anywhere.

So, Tang Yi returned to Beijing, and he wanted to go to the household department to ask for money.

The household department is in charge of the world's money and food, and Tang Yi's understanding that the cost of setting up a whaling team should naturally be paid by the household department.

However, when Tang Yi found Yu Youguang, the head of the household, the other party responded with only two words: no!

Tang Yi said that Yu Youguang just didn't let go.

The angry Tang Yi said directly to Yu Youguang that it was His Majesty's intention to form a whaling team, and he hoped that the household department could cooperate.

But who knew that Yu Youguang was very cooperative, but when it came to taking money, there was no more, his excuse was that all the state capitals had suffered disasters this year, and the money of the household department was used for disaster relief.

It was impossible for Tang Yi to check the accounts of the household department, so he was so angry that he had no temper at all, so he had to return in vain.

In this way, Tang Yi, who was angry, did not have a good face when he saw who was angry at whom.

Tang Yi, who was walking on the road, was babbling and scolding, obviously cursing Yu Youguang, the head of the household.

Bang!

"Ouch!"

"Look a little bit when you walk!"

The absent-minded Tang Yi collided with someone on the road, and the other party complained, which made Tang Yi very angry.

What happened to his dignified military department secretary, what happened to him? Dare to scold me?

Rolling up his sleeves, Tang Yi was about to go up to the fight, but when he looked up, he found that it was an acquaintance.

The person who was hit by him was his friend, Sun Mingzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

Pulling down his sleeves, Tang Yi smiled and asked, "Sun Shangshu, why are you?" ”

Sun Mingzhi rubbed his shoulder, which was hit painfully, and said with a grudge: "Tang Shangshu, what are you doing in a hurry?" Don't you look at people when you walk? If you bump into an old man or an old lady, you'll die. ”

"The official didn't bump into the old man or the old lady, but he bumped into you." Tang Yi walked over with a smile.

Sun Mingzhi glared at Tang Yi and asked, "Seeing that your face is wrong, what are you doing?" ”

Speaking of this, Tang Yi was angry and didn't fight anywhere, snorted lightly, and said, "I just went to the household department, but I was really angry." ”

"What happened to make Brother Tang so angry?" Sun Mingzhi asked with some gossip.

Tang Yi didn't hide it, and told Sun Mingzhi everything about going to the household department to ask for money but not getting a penny.

Who knew that after Sun Mingzhi heard this, not only did he not comfort Tang Yi, but laughed. U9 eBook

Tang Yi was very annoyed, and said solemnly: "Sun Shangshu, why are you laughing, are you also watching the official's joke?" ”

Sun Mingyi smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Tang, didn't you go to the household department to ask for money, isn't it boring to ask for yourself?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Tang Yi asked.

Sun Mingzhi put away his smile and said, "Brother Tang, think about it, before His Majesty wanted to lift the sea ban, who had the loudest opposition?" ”

"Yu Youguang!" Tang Yi said.

Sun Mingyi spread his hands and said: "Yes, he is the most strongly opposed, and the formation of a whaling team is obviously contrary to the sea ban, how can he give you money?" ”

Tang Yi seemed to be a little puzzled, and said: "But the formation of this whaling team was personally appointed by His Majesty, how dare he Yu Youguang interfere with it?" ”

"People Yu Shangshu don't need to be a hindrance from it, you just need to shout poor, you can't help it." Sun Mingzhi flicked the dust on his body.

Tang Yi nodded and said, "I really let you say it, he just used the excuse of disaster relief this year, and used a lot of money and food, and there is no extra expenditure." ”

Clapping his hands, Sun Mingzhi pulled Tang Yi and said, "Don't worry about this for now, follow me." ”

Tang Yi was a little puzzled, broke free, and asked, "Where are you going to take me?" ”

"Oh, this official can still harm you, Brother Tang can come with me." Sun Mingzhi pulled Tang Yi's arm again.

This time, Tang Yi did not break free, and let Sun Mingzhi pull him forward on the street.

After turning around, Sun Mingzhi finally stopped, Tang Yi looked up and saw that this place was familiar to him, it was Shennongtan.

"What are you bringing me here for?" Tang Yi asked.

"Come in and you'll know." Sun Mingzhi said, and entered the Shennong Altar first.

Tang Yi saw that he had come to the door of Shennongtan, so he simply went in to see what was inside, and it was not too late.

"What the hell is there?" Tang Yi couldn't help but ask.

Sun Mingzhi smiled: "Brother Tang still remembers that sea whale bone?" ”

"Of course I remember, didn't Your Majesty order your Ministry of Industry to build it into a sea whale bone temple?" Tang Yi responded.

Sun Mingzhi nodded and said, "Yes, today is the day when the Sea Whalebone Temple is completed, so this official will come and see it in person." You are lucky enough to meet this official, so I will take you to open your eyes. ”

mentioned the sea whalebone, Tang Yi seemed to remember something, but he couldn't remember some clearly.

But when he mentioned the Sea Whale Bone Temple, Tang Yi finally remembered that he had promised Chen Zheng to help him introduce him to the Ministry of Industry.

Yes, it is in the place of Shennongtan, Chen Zheng who Tang Yi promised.

However, because Tang Yi was busy with the formation of the whaling team, he turned his head and forgot about it, and when he thought about it at this time, he seemed to be a little sorry for Chen Zheng.

"Brother Sun, when I saw that you received the task of building the Sea Whalebone Temple, you were a little sad, why was it built in just a few days?" Tang Yi asked tentatively.

Sun Mingzhi snorted lightly, and said proudly: "This matter really worried our Ministry of Engineering at first, but fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince later recommended a skilled craftsman to us, and he took action, which can be regarded as building this sea whalebone temple." ”

"Who? Who is recommended by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Tang Yi then asked.

Sun Mingzhi glanced at Tang Yi and said, "Say it, you may not believe it, that craftsman is Chen Zheng who contributed this sea whalebone." ”

After Tang Yi listened, he had mixed feelings in his heart, how could the official not believe it? Chen Zheng was supposed to be recommended to you by this official, but how did he become the recommendation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

The key is that there will still be a place where Chen Zheng will be used at that time, how can he Tang Yi be embarrassed to speak.

Tang Yi felt a little embarrassed.
