These craftsmen also understood what His Majesty the Emperor meant, and the whites of their eyes that had been cloudy became clear again.

"The emperor is wise, the emperor is wise!"

Wu Youcai's mind is the most active, he was the first to kowtow to Zhu Cihong to thank him, and the rest of the craftsmen also did the same, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

At this moment, Zhu Cihong had a touch of pride in his heart. He could feel that the craftsmen were not bowing to him out of fear, but sincerely expressing their gratitude.

Yes, in this era when human life is as cheap as a dog, the Son of Heaven actually values them so much......

Looking back on the first half of their lives, these craftsmen have mixed feelings in their hearts. But when they thought of the promise of the Son of Heaven, they immediately felt that they had a head start for the rest of their lives.

As long as you do more work, you will get more money!

Hey, if the imperial court had treated them so well earlier, how could they have fled from the Longjiang Shipyard one after another!

As for Yuan Tai, he naturally would not brush the scales of the Son of Heaven at such a time. Anyway, the problem of the silver two is worried by the officials of the household department, and he only needs to follow the order to receive it.

It can be seen that the Son of Heaven is a benevolent and virtuous king, but the word benevolence may become a drag in troubled times.

......

......

The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.

Zhang Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, who was sitting on the chair of the South official hat of Lihuamu, shook his head resentfully and said, "Unheard of, unheard of." As the Son of Heaven, he was unexpectedly robbed. 350,000 taels of silver, that's 350,000 taels of white silver, I'm not reconciled! ”

Zhang Gongri, the Marquis of Longping on the side, also complained: "Your Majesty's appearance is too ugly this time, first killing chickens and monkeys in the main hall, and then ordering Jinyi Wei to force each other aggressively, just to make us bleed." ”

Xu Wenjue, who had been silent, said coldly: "Heavy bleeding is better than losing your head, okay?" We reported the wealth truthfully, and His Majesty only took half of it. You look at Linhuai Marquis Li Zushu and Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo, but they underreported tens of thousands of taels, and they were checked out by Jinyiwei, and they are squatting in prison at the moment. ”

"This, this, alas!" Zhang Gongri picked up the teacup and poured it down, and his eyebrows were full of gloom.

Baoguo Gong Zhang Guobi stomped his feet and scolded: "It's really poor and crazy, I want to see if he offended us all, who will govern the country!" ”

"Be careful. If it is heard by Jinyiwei, this is a big crime to kill the head. ”

Zhang Gongri shuddered.

"Phew, those hawks!"

Zhang Guobi looked at Xu Wenjue unwillingly and said, "Wei Guogong, you have a way." The emperor can take half of our wealth this time, and he can take all of it next time. We can't sit back and die! ”

"He is the king, and the king calls the ministers to die, and the ministers have to die, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless the Son of Heaven dies."

Xu Wenjue evoked a sneer: "If the Son of Heaven dies, we will support a new Son of Heaven, not only do we not have to worry about it, but we can be extremely honored." ”

Hiss!

Zhang Guobi gasped, and Zhang Gongri trembled with fright: "Wei Guogong, what do you want to do?" ”

Something that doesn't make a difference!

Xu Wenjue commented on the two in his heart.

"You are mistaken, it's not what the government wants to do, it's what God wants to arrange."

"But, but now that Xincheng Bozhao Zhilong has been thrown into prison, and Jingying has been controlled by the emperor, how can we turn things around with just a few hundred people in our hands?"

"Who said it was up to the military?"

Xu Wenjue rubbed his palms and said slowly: "You have all heard about the emperor's order to repair the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, right?" ”

"Labor and money!"

Zhang Guobi snorted and said, "This little emperor doesn't want to learn from Chengzu to do some tricks in the West, right?" ”

"Of course not." Xu Wenjue let out a long breath: "If I'm not mistaken, the emperor wants to build his own sailor." ”

"Water Master..."Zhang Gongri's eyes lit up and said: "What does Wei Guogong mean that we can do it on the river?" ”

Xu Wenjue bowed slightly, still satisfied with Zhang Gongri's understanding.

"The emperor has the heart to build his own sailor, but this is not something that can be done in a moment. With the emperor's obsession with the sailor, if we invite the Son of Heaven to come to the new Jiangkou for a review at this time, he will definitely not refuse. ”

The new Jiangkou in Xu Wenjue's mouth is a veteran sailor base in Daming. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were 400 military ships at the mouth of the new river, which was later reduced to 200. During the Jiajing period, in order to defend against the Japanese invaders, the number of ships was increased to 400.

Now this water division is in the hands of Xu Wenjue.

However, because Jiangnan has been peaceful for a long time, the warships have long been replaced by sand boats that are more suitable for inland river transportation, and the so-called sailors are actually more like a water transport fleet.

Of course, this Cao transport fleet is still nominally the Ming Dynasty's Xinjiangkou Naval Division, and it still draws tens of thousands of taels of silver from the household every year.

"Clever plan, good plan. The wind and waves on the river are urgent, and the little emperor accidentally falls into the water, and he doesn't know it! ”

Zhang Guobi also understood, and his face was full of excitement.

"The stakes are high, and it's not safe for the emperor to fall overboard... In order to be safe, the ship must be sunk! ”

A trace of fierceness flashed in Xu Wenjue's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly.

Hey, it's so vicious!

However, Zhang Guobi thought about it carefully, and what Xu Wenjue said was very reasonable. Regardless of whether it was Wuzong or Xizong, they were all rescued after falling into the water, although they still died of illness in the end, but it took a lot of time.

As far as they are concerned, since they have decided to kill the king, there must be no mistakes. You must know that this is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and if someone finds out, the whole family will be buried with them.

And if the bottom of the ship is chiseled through in advance, the whole ship will sink into the river. At that time, everyone on the ship, including the emperor, would be buried in the belly of the fish.

Even if someone from another ship tried to jump into the river to rescue the emperor, it would not be possible, because the sinking of the big ship would bring a large whirlpool, and those who jumped into the water to rescue would also be swept up and swallowed.

I have to say that although this trick is vicious, it is too safe.

No poison or husband, they even dare to kill the emperor, why not have a boatload of people to accompany the funeral?

"Wei Guogong is a good plan! It's just that the new gentleman has a candidate? ”

Since they want to risk the destruction of their family and kill the king, they naturally want to pursue greater interests.

The power of standing up from the dragon must be firmly grasped in the hand.

"This Mr. Qian has already thought about it for us. King Lu is wise, be the new king! ”

Xu Wenjue said loudly.

"Which Mr. Money?"

"In this Ying Tianfu, in addition to Qian Muzhai and Qian Qianyi, the former head of the Ministry of Rites Donglin, who else is worthy of the word sir?"

Xu Wenjue said quietly: "The emperor offended not only the ministers, but also the literati. With Mr. Qian's qualifications, he couldn't even get an official position in the new dynasty, and now the emperor wants to force the officials who have already made a name for themselves to donate silver... I think he hates this little emperor more than you and me. Mr. Qian's protégés are all over the world, as long as he ascends to the heights, we will try our best to support them, and Lu Fan will be able to climb the treasure! ”
