"Brother Tang, what do you think of this little temple?" Sun Mingzhi pulled Tang Yi and said.

Tang Yi was a little absent-minded and said, "It's good, it's good-looking." ”

"Look at this mural, it depicts the pomp and circumstance of whaling in the East China Sea." Sun Mingzhi continued.

Hearing the word whaling, Tang Yi came back to his senses and looked towards the mural.

Sure enough, as Sun Mingzhi said, there was a picture of a wooden boat on the sea, and a group of people hunting sea whales.

The person who painted this mural is a veteran at first glance, and he vividly expresses the thrill of the whaling process and the fearlessness of the people.

Especially a young man who commanded in the middle of the house, the painting was majestic and undisturbed, and if you look closely, it is somewhat similar to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace.

Tang Yi thinks that maybe this painter wanted to curry favor with the prince and deliberately painted like this.

It was impossible for him to think that the crown prince Xiao Zan was indeed at the whaling scene.

It's just that Xiao Zan was scared enough at that time, and he was far from the calm and calm appearance in the mural.

There are several other young people in the painting, standing next to the prince, who seem to be staff officers, and one of them is very similar to Chen Zheng.

This made Tang Yi confirm his guess just now, this painter is just to please the prince.

In the picture, the main participant in whaling is a strong man, who is seen majestic and fighting with sea whales.

"Is there really such a warrior?" Tang Yi pointed to the strong man on the mural and asked.

Sun Mingzhi nodded and said, "This mural is depicted according to the scene dictated by Chen Zheng, and it was later reviewed by the prince before it was finalized. According to Chen Zheng and the crown prince, everyone in this painting is real, including the boatmen on the ship, and they can correspond to each other one by one. ”

"This man looks extraordinarily brave, and looking at the way he hunts whales, he has the air of a general." Tang Yi praised from the bottom of his heart.

Sun Mingzhi glanced at Tang Yi and said with a smile: "Does Brother Tang have a heart for talent?" ”

"This kind of character, if you fish all your life, it will be a waste." Tang Yi snorted lightly.

Sun Mingzhi smiled slightly, he knew this Tang Yi very well, and he liked to promote those who had no background, but were very capable.

Facts have also proved that Tang Yi's vision is right, and the people who were promoted by him performed well.

"That's Chen Zheng's person, if you want it, you have to ask him for someone." The Way of Sun Ming.

Hearing Sun Mingzhi mention Chen Zheng again, Tang Yi became embarrassed again, how could everything be related to Chen Zheng.

"Brother Tang, is there anything embarrassing?" Sun Mingzhi asked, he could see that Tang Yi's expression was a little unnatural.

Tang Yi smiled wryly and said, "Don't hide it from Brother Sun, at the beginning, the official promised that Chen Zheng would be introduced to the Ministry of Industry to build this sea whale bone temple, and I didn't want to forget about it when I was busy forming a whaling team later?" ”

When Sun Mingzhi heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Brother Tang, you almost missed a big thing!" Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recommended Chen Zheng, otherwise, this Sea Whalebone Temple may not be able to be built! ”

"Could it be that without Chen Zheng, it can't be built?" Tang Yi asked with some disbelieving.

Sun Mingzhi nodded and said, "That's really the case, the Ministry of Industry has never used sea whale bone as a material, this is the first time." But if there is a next time, I think the craftsman will do it. ”

"Heh, your skillful craftsmen have a lot of skills in stealing teachers." Tang Yi teased.

Sun Mingzhi didn't care, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said, "What do you know?" This is called reference imitation, which is to take the strengths of the other and make up for the shortcomings of oneself, which is called university questioning! ”

"Plagiarism is plagiarism, and it's nice to say." Tang Yi didn't give Sun a name at all. I love eBooks

I want to come to the Ministry of Industry to do such a thing, so Sun Ming doesn't mind at all, anyway, as long as the technology is learned, it is the ability!

As the saying goes, a tree will die without bark; People are shameless, and the world is invincible.

In Tang Yi's opinion, this Sun Mingzhi is a bit shameless, so it is natural for him to say that he can't do it.

"If there is nothing else, the official will go back first." Tang Yi said, he didn't want to talk to Sun Mingzhi anymore.

"Look no more, how majestic and mighty is the statue of the whale's head? It was carved by Chen Zheng himself. Sun Mingzhi pointed to the roof of the small temple.

Tang Yi looked up, and sure enough, he saw a big sea whale head there, grinning with bared teeth, looking mighty.

"After the official's whaling team is established, such a terrifying beast head must be installed on the bow of each ship, which will definitely deter Xiaoxiao!" Tang Yi muttered.

Sun Mingzhi glanced at Tang Yi and said, "Isn't Brother Tang out of money?" So how do you set up a whaling team? ”

Tang Yi listened, glared at Sun Mingyi angrily, and walked away.

Sun Mingzhi is very happy, he is damaged by Tang Yi on weekdays, and this time he finally avenged this revenge, which is really happy.

Tang Yi was very depressed, now that the household department does not allocate money and food, he has no choice but to go to Emperor Xiao Ding.

Since the order was given by the emperor, he had to give him some policy and let him get things done.

After entering the palace, he learned that the emperor was reading in the study, and under the leadership of Wei Congzhi, Tang Yi came to the study.

After seeing the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, Tang Yi found that the prince Xiao Zan in the study was also there, so he also saluted him.

At this time, Xiao Zan was completely different from the Xiao Zan that Chen Zheng knew, he looked very gentle, and when he saw Tang Yi saluting him, he quickly got up and replied.

Xiao Ding put down the book in his hand and said with a smile: "How come Tang Shangshu has time to come and see me, I heard that you have been very busy recently." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is forming a whaling team in accordance with Your Majesty's instructions." Tang Yi responded.

"Oh?" Xiao Ding became interested, took the tea handed over by Wei Congshi, took a sip, and asked, "How are the preparations?" ”

Tang Yi thought for a while and said, "All links have been prepared, but the money and food have not yet arrived, and without money, this sea ship can't be built." ”

"Go to find Yu Youguang, and the household department will allocate it." Xiao Dingdao.

Tang Yi's face immediately fell, and he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has already been to the household department, and Yu Shangshu bluntly said that a lot of money and grain have been used for disaster relief this year, and there is nothing left." ”

Xiao Ding listened, without any expression, and after muttering for a while, he said, "Oh, I know." ”

Tang Yi heard these words in his ears, and he was anxious in his heart, how could he simply "know" and be done?

"Your Majesty, can you make a decree and order the household department to allocate money and grain?" Tang Yi asked tentatively.

Xiao Ding shook his head slightly and said, "Since the household department has no money to spare, then the military department will figure it out by itself." ”

"Huh? This ......" Tang Yi was a little confused, where did he go to the military department to make money?

"Stand down." Xiao Ding waved his hand and said to Tang Yi.

The emperor had spoken, but he Tang Yi didn't dare to disobey, so he had to bow down and retreat.

Xiao Ding looked at Tang Yi with a lost face, and said with a smile: "Tang Shangshu, don't complain about me, you will know in the future that without the intervention of the household department, you will get more benefits." ”

Tang Yi listened, what else could he say, he had the right to really listen, and after thanking him again, he withdrew.
