Emperor Zhengde comforted the Xia family, and instructed Zhang Yong to select palace maids and eunuchs to serve the Xia family, and then left with a gloomy face.

Zhang Yong followed behind Emperor Zhengde and deeply felt the anger in Emperor Zhengde's heart, obviously everyone looked away, although the Xia family was deposed, it was not that Emperor Zhengde had no status in his heart.

These little cubs are looking away, and now they are going to be unlucky! Zhang Yong couldn't help but think of the scene in front of the Qianqing Palace again, Zhang Zhijie entered the palace with a heavy heart, when Emperor Zhengde asked them to stop in the distance and passed quietly by himself.

So Zhang Yong didn't know what Zhang Zhijie said to Emperor Zhengde, nor did he know what role Zhang Zhijie played in this. But no matter what, Zhang Zhijie's influence on Emperor Zhengde was really too great, beyond anyone, and even far beyond Liu Jin at that time.

Zhang Zhijie did not go back to the palace directly after leaving the Qianqing Palace, but rested at the palace gate, knowing that Emperor Zhengde would definitely summon him.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the little eunuch to pant and prepare to go out of the palace gate to announce the summons, and when he saw Zhang Zhijie basking in the sun leisurely at the palace gate, he was overjoyed, and he came with a smoke.

The little eunuch gasped and was about to speak, when Zhang Zhijie had already gotten up and smiled: "Let's go!" After that, he walked to the palace first, and the little eunuch was stunned and felt that he was really a god. No wonder the little marquis is so powerful!

Zhang Zhijie came to the Qianqing Palace, and saw Emperor Zhengde with a gloomy face at a glance, and suddenly understood in his heart that Xia Ru really didn't tell a lie.

Emperor Zhengde saw that Zhang Zhijie was about to salute, and waved his hand weakly and said, "Excuse me, excuse me!" I went to look at Xia, I really didn't expect her to be in such a situation! My will now looks ridiculous. ”

Zhang Zhijie bowed and said: "Your Majesty, it's the ministers who are too talkative!" ”

Emperor Zhengde smiled bitterly: "You don't talk much, you say that you feel guilty, why not!" You didn't see her as she looked, you were already in shape, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have been afraid of her。。。。。。 ”

Zhang Zhijie could only be silent, he understood what Emperor Zhengde meant, if he didn't say it, just with Xia Ru's little effort, the Xia family would probably not live long!

Emperor Zhengde sighed: "The Xia family begged me and wanted to go out of the palace to cultivate the Tao, but I have already agreed and want to build a Taoist temple for her outside the palace." ”

This was naturally not Zhang Zhijie's expectation, Zhang Zhijie listened to it and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it's okay like this, and it's easier to save outside the palace!" ”

Emperor Zhengde nodded and said: "I think the same way, the palace is already depressed, she wants to leave the palace, otherwise why do I like to stay in the leopard room!" Zhijie, I will allocate money from the inner treasury, and you will choose a site to supervise the construction of a Taoist temple! ”

Zhang Zhijie groaned: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that someone is more suitable than the minister to supervise the construction of the Taoist temple!" ”

Emperor Zhengde was puzzled: "Who?" ”

Zhang Zhijie said in a deep voice: "Xia Ru! ”

Emperor Zhengde thought about it after hearing this, nodded and said, "It's okay!" ”

After leaving the palace, Zhang Zhijie let out a long breath, he did everything he had to do, and now he is really worthy of anyone!

Zhang Zhijie didn't pay attention to the next thing, but focused on the Ordnance Bureau. The artillery of the Westerners was finally successfully copied, which made Zhang Zhijie breathe a long sigh of relief, and the fleet could be reequipped with warships when they came back next year.

A small but chic Taoist temple outside the city was quietly completed in the spring, and Xia, who already had hope, survived the cold winter, and quietly moved to the Taoist temple outside the city with freedom and hope, and it was convenient to get together with his family.

The treasury is abundant, the government is harmonious, the Hou Mansion is imported, and hundreds of ships on the vast sea sail to the Ming Dynasty, carrying the dreams of countless people.

The city of Boshi, who had been lonely for a winter, began to be busy again, and with it came one legend after another, a legend of wealth. The imperial court has opened the sea, and the sea trade has been put on the bright side, so it is the first time that the profits from going to sea have been circulated in such an open and open manner.

Whose fleet went to sea and earned hundreds of thousands of taels, whose fleet went to sea and earned hundreds of thousands of taels, whose fleet earned millions of taels! Every news caused a huge stir, and the whole South was boiling.

Those who have already gone to sea began to prepare to continue to go to sea, and those who had not gone to sea stepped up their preparations with envy. There is no doubt that there are more ships going to sea this year than last year.

The fleet of the imperial court has also returned, and after arriving at Quanzhou City, it did not stay after reporting, but immediately set sail north to Tianjin.

When the fleet first came to Tianjin, it caused a sensation and caused a lot of speculation in Tianjin, but now the matter of opening the sea and trade has already been spread all over the world, and everyone is familiar with it.

Therefore, the people of Tianjin are no longer as fresh as the fleet that came to Tianjin as they were last year, and the only thing they are interested in is to know how much silver the fleet has brought this time.

After Zhang Zhijie learned that the fleet had arrived in Tianjin, he immediately set off to Tianjin and escorted the silver into Beijing, and more than 100 carts entered Beijing. Even those who have already seen this meeting are still shocked when they see and hear about it again, because this is white silver!

Then ships arrived in Tianjin one after another, and the ships of other nobles and princes in Beijing arrived in Tianjin, and these nobles immediately came with carts to pull silver and goods. And those noble princes who were not able to go to sea were naturally envious when they saw this, and stepped up their preparations to join in the feat of going to sea.

However, Zhang Zhijie was not in a hurry to count the silver, but was busy escorting the new artillery imitated by the Ordnance Bureau to Tianjin to reequip the fleet.

Feng Haisheng and the others saw the mighty new artillery escorted by the Admiral, and their faces suddenly bloomed, with the arquebuses that the fleet had already installed, and now they had changed to new artillery, he was confident that his fleet was no longer afraid of any power on the sea.

Zhang Zhijie was based in Tianjin and personally led the transformation of the fleet. Since Zhang Zhijie reformed the Firearms Bureau, the craftsmen of the Firearms Bureau are completely different from before. Now that the Firearms Bureau has no deductions, it can fill its stomach, and if you do a lot of work, you can get a reward, and if you don't do a good job, you will be fined, and everyone will work very seriously and hard.

Therefore, from the production of artillery and arquebuses to the installation and transformation of artillery on ships, one by one they are doing very seriously. Zhang Zhijie can also feel this change, and he is very happy.

When he had nothing to do, Zhang Zhijie listened to them talk about the encounters at sea, the prosperity of Manila, the white-skinned and blue-eyed Westerners, and the chaos of the Japanese country.
