Wu Chengen was very surprised by Mao Wenlong's request, he didn't understand what Mao Wenlong was going to do when he suddenly said this. He was secretly vigilant in his heart, and then cautiously tested: "I wonder if General Mao can tell me what to do with this?" ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head and said, "Gonggong Wu, now you just need to tell me clearly whether there are any of these things." If there is, then it is possible for our trade to go ahead, and if not, then we don't need to talk about it anymore. ”

In the face of Mao Wenlong's aggressiveness, Wu Chengen, who was completely on the passive side, had no choice. After thinking about it for a while, he said uncertainly: "Our family remembers that there is a shipyard left by the previous dynasty in Nanjing. But now Nanjing is already being taken care of by King Fu, so if Mr. Mao really needs it, he still needs the emperor to communicate with King Fu in order to give Mr. Mao an exact answer. ”

Mao Wenlong suddenly slapped his head and scolded himself for being stupid. The three brothers of the Lijia family delayed their plan to build a sea caravan because of the lack of shipbuilding talents. Mao Wenlong has been having a headache about this matter recently.

Now the entire Ming Dynasty is implementing a ban on the sea, which has been so serious that a piece of wood can't go to the sea. It's not that the control of the imperial court is strict, but that there is no defense at all on the sea, pirates and pirates are rampant, and the imperial court has done nothing. The Ming Dynasty, which led to the cash, has completely lost large swaths of the coast. The people along the coast have suffered so much that they are almost unable to survive.

In such a situation, there are almost no people who understand the situation at sea, not only shipbuilding technicians. Because almost no one in the Ming Dynasty dares to go to the sea anymore!

And the shipyard left by the first dynasty, the shipyard left by Zheng He in Nanjing, but Mao Wenlong forgot him. knew that there was a shipyard in Nanjing that he needed, and Mao Wenlong didn't need to ink with Wu Chengen here now.

But considering that Chongzhen is the real master of the Ming Dynasty at present, Mao Wenlong doesn't want to spoil things, hehe chuckled, Mao Wenlong said: "Then please contact the emperor as soon as possible, figure this matter out, and we will discuss it again." ”

Wu Chengen nodded in agreement, he immediately said goodbye and left, returned to his residence in the city, and immediately sent someone to Chongzhen with his letter.

Chongzhen didn't dare to slack off on this matter, and immediately wrote another letter to order someone to send it to King Fu, and by the way, he went to inspect the shipyard.

King Fu learned that this shipyard was asked by Mao Wenlong, and he did not embarrass the angel in the past, but cooperated with Chongzhen very much. This surprised Chongzhen, who originally thought that he would need to pay some price to get King Fu to agree to hand over the shipyard.

In the end, the investigation was clear, and Chongzhen sorted out the results of the investigation and sent them to Wu Chengen in Kaifeng, who immediately sent the shipyard situation to Mao Wenlong after nearly a month's delay.

The situation of the shipyard left behind in Nanjing is similar to what Mao Wenlong thought. The shipyard has been abandoned, but fortunately, some shipbuilding drawings or some things that can be used are there. Mao Wenlong is still very satisfied with this.

"Gonggong Wu, then this shipyard is now completely owned by me, right?" Mao Wenlong put away all the information and said with a smile.

"Of course, but the premise is that General Mao must deliver grain and grass to us." Wu Chengen was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't forget to remind Mao Wenlong about the grain and grass.

"This is a must, or else, if you still have someone who knows how to build ships, or if there is anything left by Zheng He in the palace, you will send it together. The grain and grass lent to you this time will be used as payment, and you will not need to pay it back in the future. Mao Wenlong said very generously.

"That's true!" Wu Chengen was excited, stood upright, and exclaimed in surprise.

"There is no need for Mao to deceive you, of course, I also hope that you don't fool me in any way in this matter, otherwise, I can terminate this transaction at any time." Mao Wenlong said with a straight face.

"Please rest assured that Mr. Mao, then our family will leave and strive to send things to Mr. Mao as soon as possible." Wu Chengen can't wait.

Mao Wenlong nodded and said: "Then there is Father-in-law Wu, the grain and grass can be prepared in three days, and Father-in-law Wu is welcome to come and exchange at any time." ”

Wu Chengen laughed happily, and then said goodbye and left.

After Chongzhen learned that the matter of borrowing grain went well, he finally felt relieved, and at the same time felt a trace of gratitude to Mao Wenlong. After all, in such a world, Mao Wenlong's move is definitely an act of sending charcoal in the snow.

And what Mao Wenlong asked for was all attributed by Chongzhen, just to find excuses, all this was just to send him grain and grass.

"You say, what does Mao Wenlong mean by this, and what is the use of asking the shipyard to have those drawings or something?" Chongzhen expressed his doubts to Wu Chengen.

"Your Majesty, those things don't have any effect on us anyway, and Mao Wenlong's willingness to exchange these for grain and grass is beneficial to us. Why should we care about what he does? Wu Chengen replied with a smile.

Chongzhen thought about it carefully, and he also smiled: "Then don't pay attention to it, you now send the grain and grass you get to Lu Xiangsheng's hands in batches as soon as possible." Tell him that if he dares to let Houjin break the city after getting the grain and grass, I will destroy his nine clans. ”

Wu Chengen frowned when he heard this, but he didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction, and then resigned after agreeing. Naturally, he would not convey his will directly like Chongzhen, and there was no problem with proper warnings, but if he told Lu Xiangsheng truthfully, he would inevitably get the opposite effect.

The imperial court had some food, and finally resolved the urgent crisis again, and it was obviously more difficult for Houjin to break through and enter. And after Mao Wenlong got what he needed, he immediately set off to rush back to Xi'an.

And all the things that resisted the Houjin army with the imperial court, he handed it over to Chen Jisheng to handle.

Soon after Mao Wenlong returned to Xi'an, he contacted King Fu and informed him that he would rebel in the near future. Knowing that Mao Wenlong was coming to Nanjing, King Fu was quite happy. Lately, he has been plotting how to bring Huguang under his rule.

And Mao Wenlong's arrival was just right, he could take the opportunity to have a detailed discussion with Mao Wenlong, and the day when Huguang was included in his hands was just around the corner.

On the way to Nanjing, Mao Wenlong was delayed in Xuzhou for two days, waiting for Lihui, the boss of the family, to come and go to Nanjing with him. A month later, Mao Wenlong arrived in Nanjing slowly.

made King Fu wait anxiously, and when he received Mao Wenlong, he complained all the more. Fortunately, Mao Wenlong never released his pigeons, which made him feel a little more at ease.
