Seeing that Shen Shouyao looked depressed and unhappy, Zhu Youzhen ignored him anymore and let Shen Shouyao kneel there in a daze.

"General Shen, sit down. Would you like to taste the tea brought by Lone first? Later, Lone still has something to ask the general. ”

Shen Yourong, who let go of his worries, sat down with a red face when he heard Zhu Youzhen say this.

"This is Fujian Tieguanyin, right?"

Tasting the fragrance of tea in his mouth, Shen Yourong called out the name of the tea in one bite.

"The general is really a master of the tea ceremony, and he will taste it as soon as he tastes it."

Zhu Youzhen patted his hands lightly and said happily: "This is indeed Tieguanyin produced in Fujian." If the general drinks it well, the general can take a few catties from Gu later and take it back to taste the taste. ”

"A master of the tea ceremony? There is no such thing as a lowly position. ”

Shen Yourong's face showed a bit of nostalgia.

"It's just that I've lived in Fujian for a long time, and Tieguanyin drinks a lot, so I'm very familiar with this tea. If it is replaced with other tea, the humble position will definitely not be able to drink it.

If His Royal Highness has extra Tieguanyin in his hands, then he will be disrespectful.

Don't say it, Tieguanyin is used to drinking the taste, and I've really been thinking about it for a long time. ”

Shen Yourong tasted the familiar fragrance of tea, and slowly responded to Zhu Youzhen's overtures.

As soon as he tasted the taste of Tieguanyin, Shen Yourong knew that King Xin was not casually fooled by Shen Shouyao.

It was so coincidental that he liked to drink Tieguanyin, and King Xin happened to bring Tieguanyin.

However, knowing that King Xin had ulterior motives, Shen Yourong still decided to accept King Xin's kindness.

Anyway, Shen Shouyao is going to be sent to the Xinwang Mansion, so a few catties of tea from the Xinwang are nothing.

Shen Yourong understood that once the news of Shen Shouyao's official dedication to the Xinwang Mansion spread, there was a chance that his position as the chief soldier of Shandong would not be kept. In this regard, Shen Yourong has been mentally prepared.

For the future of his son, he always has to pay a price for being Lao Tzu.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, Shen Yourong met Qi Jiguang's son Qi Qiguo in Dengzhou.

At that time, Qi Qiguo was running around for help for the publication of "Qi Shaobao's Annals". If it weren't for Shen Yourong's generosity, I am afraid that Qi Zhengguo would still not be able to make up the cost of publishing the books.

This incident stimulated Shen Yourong a lot. Shen Yourong didn't expect that with the prestige of Qi Shaobao (Qi Jiguang), his son couldn't even get the money to publish a biography for him.

It's only been a few years since this Qi Shaobao passed away?

Shen Yourong didn't want his son to end up like this in the future.

Shen Yourong has a total of 8 sons. Other sons are okay to say, but Shen Shouyao, the youngest son, has always been a piece of Shen Yourong's heart.

In Shen Yourong's eyes, Shen Shouyao is short-tempered, inconsiderate, and often does things that take care of the head and tail. Because he was afraid that he would get into trouble, Shen Yourong took him with him to train him personally.

That's it, I didn't look at it, Shen Shouyao still caused him such a big disaster.

Shen Yourong has already seen that Shen Shouyao is not suitable to work in the army anymore.

Now that he can serve the Xinwang Mansion, it is not a blessing for Shen Shouyao.

As for himself, Shen Yourong, who is 69 years old, is not afraid of being implicated by Shen Shouyao again.

At most, isn't it just resignation?

To be honest, if it weren't for Yuan Keli's face, Shen Yourong would have returned to his hometown a long time ago.

Shen Yourong, who smoothed out his heart disease, gently took another sip of tea, and comfortably pursed his mouth to taste the quiet fragrance of Tieguanyin.

Since the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Shen Yourong has not drunk this high-grade Tieguanyin new tea from Fujian.

It smells so good!

Seeing that Shen Yourong happily accepted his tea, Zhu Youzhen happily put forward his request: "General Shen, can you help Gu find a few reliable ship bosses and sailors?" It's the kind that can drive a treasure ship. ”

Here it is, here it is.

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Shen Yourong, who had already prepared in his heart, couldn't help but darken his face.

Shen Yourong knew that if he believed in the king's courtesy, he must have something to ask for. But Shen Yourong never thought that His Royal Highness King Xin was also coming for the treasure ship, no wonder King Xin was willing to pull Shen Shouyao into the palace.

The treasure ship brought by Yuan Futai was really a source of trouble, and Shen Yourong secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Your Highness,"

Shen Yourong carefully considered the words in his mind before he said cautiously: "Your Highness, this treasure ship was ordered by the Holy Superior in the Denglai army.

Not to mention that it is a humble position, even Denglai Yuan Futai has no right to lend the treasure ship to other places for use. ”

"Huh. The general misunderstood. ”

Seeing that Shen Yourong's face had changed, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly explained: "Lone didn't want to borrow this treasure ship. Lone just wanted the general to do a small favor and find a few ship bosses and sailors who could drive the treasure ship. ”

Seeing that Shen Yourong was a little puzzled, Zhu Youzhen continued to explain: "The general should know that the four treasure ships under construction at the Dengzhou Shipyard are about to be launched, and it is necessary to equip them with sailors." ”

"The four treasure ships in Dengzhou?" Shen Yourong was taken aback by Zhu Youzhen's words.

Dengzhou Shipyard has built four new treasure ships, of course Shen Yourong knows.

After using the Zhenyun ship for more than a year, Shen Yourong even designed a set of tactics for the Zhenyun ship. He waited for the four ships to join his army.

This King of Faith is really bold enough, and he dares to fight the idea of the four new ships in Dengzhou.

However, listening to the king's words, it seemed that his idea was really done.

Shen Yourong couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

In addition to their own selfish interests, who would consider anything for the Ming Dynasty?

The Denglai Navy is now the front line of the enemy, and this newly built good ship is not strengthened to the Denglai Navy but is allocated to a vassal king, what kind of reason is this?

"yes."

didn't know that Shen Yourong was slandering himself, Zhu Youzhen nodded proudly:

"The four treasure ships that Dengzhou Shipyard immediately launched were built at the expense of the orphans, and they were new ships built specifically for the brothers' warehouses.

But the question is, there must be sailors on this ship, right?

Without sailors, how could this ship move?

General Shen, you must at least gather a ship of sailors for the sake of you. ”

Stretched out his hand and nodded at Shen Shouyao, Zhu Youzhen's face smiled: "If it weren't for Xiao Shen alone, he wouldn't be able to drive the entire fleet anyway." ”

Seeing Shen Yourong's shocked face, Zhu Youzhen straightened his body and said, "General Shen, I want to use these four treasure ships to reopen the shipping between the north and the south, and reopen the door of my Ming Dynasty's maritime trade." Would you like to ask the general for more support? ”

Reopening of north-south shipping?

Listening to Zhu Youzhen's ambition, Shen Yourong's face was a little moved.

His Royal Highness the King of Letters really dares to think and say it!

Does he really know what it means to reopen the North-South Sea?

Also reopen the door of Daming Sea Trade?

Daming Sea Trade now why he needs to reopen.

Could it be that King Xin wants to reopen official trade?

The heart of the king of faith is too great.

The amount of information thrown out by Zhu Youzhen was too large, and Shen Yourong fell into contemplation unconsciously.

And Shen Shouyao, who also heard Zhu Youzhen's pride, lowered his head and quietly tilted up.

If it is really as King Xin said, then joining King Xin's Mansion seems to be a pretty good choice.
