Chapter 143: Everyone is happy

"Good, good! Aiqing is really a sincere and filial person, I am very relieved, I don't know what Aiqing's second request is? ”

Since you kid is unkind, don't be unjust, Yang Tingjian thought secretly and continued:

"Your Majesty, since the Tiger Ben Army became an army, all the silver taels have been raised by Wechen, and Wechen has almost reached the end of the mountain, so Wechen wants to find a livelihood and prepare a little military salary, so as to continue to fight on the battlefield for His Majesty."

"Aiqing can be so considerate of me and the court's self-plight, I am very relieved, Aiqing can say anything you want!"

After Chongzhen asked Yang Tingjian to promise to send his parents to Beijing, this Chongzhen had already taken Yang Tingjian's parents as hostages, so Chongzhen didn't plan to be stingy, as long as Yang Tingjian's request was not too much, Chongzhen planned to satisfy Yang Tingjian.

"Please sell the abandoned Longjiang Bao Shipyard and related forest land to Wechen! The thousands of craftsmen in the treasure shipyard are also supported by Weichen, and there is no need for the imperial court to continue to allocate money and grain, which is also a huge expense, so Weichen paid one or two silver to buy Longjiang Bao Shipyard. ”

When Chongzhen heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, this is revenge, Yang Tingjian, this kid is fighting with himself, and he wants to buy my treasure shipyard for a piece of silver, although this treasure shipyard has been abandoned, the imperial court will more or less continue to allocate money and grain to feed those craftsmen who have not escaped, the treasure shipyard is already the chicken ribs of the imperial court, and the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to abandon it.

But this Longjiang Bao Shipyard is the largest shipyard in the royal family, and the treasure ship used by Zheng He is made in the Longjiang Bao Shipyard. The area of Longjiang Bao Shipyard is more than 60,000 square meters, because wood is needed for shipbuilding. Therefore, Longjiang Bao Shipyard has dozens of mountains of its own woodland allocated by the imperial court, with an area about half a county (about 500 square kilometers), and is planted with shipbuilding trees. Such as teak, cypress, camphor and so on.

This Yang Tingjian actually only gave one or two pieces of silver, this is simply a robbery, but Chongzhen doesn't know this! He works hard every day on state affairs, and he has no impression of the abandoned Longjiang Bao Shipyard, because the Ming Dynasty has not built ships on a large scale for a long time. This Longjiang Bao shipyard is also building giant warships on the sea, and there is no chance to start construction.

For as long as Chongzhen can remember, he has only occasionally heard of this abandoned treasure shipyard. The others were unimpressed, Chongzhen set his eyes on Wang Chengen, meaning to let Wang Chengen tell him about the situation of the treasure shipyard.

Wang Chengen is a eunuch, what kind of treasure shipyard does he know there! He was also black-eyed. But Wang Chengen looked at Yang Tingjian, this kid was pleasing to the eye. And this kid is about the same age as Chongzhen, his literary style is the best in the world, and his martial arts are invincible in the world.

In other words, although Wang Chengen does not know the situation of Longjiang Bao Shipyard, he wants to help Chongzhen attract talents, so Wang Chengen will not get in the way. Wang Chengen nodded slightly at Chongzhen, and whispered:

"Long live the lord, according to the slave maid. Since Lord Yang intends to share the burden for the imperial court, it is better to sell it to Lord Yang for one million taels of silver. ”

All right! Chongzhen was brought up by Wang Chengen. Chongzhen is Wang Chengen's qiē, even if Wang Chengen wants to entrap Yang Tingjian for Chongzhen, but the silver still needs to be paid by Yang Tingjian.

"Hmm...... Then according to Otomo's words...... Yang Aiqing, you will pay one million taels of silver to buy Longjiang Bao Shipyard! ”

Yang Tingjian thinks more about a bottle of tear gas in his pocket now, so that he can cry poor in front of Chongzhen, okay! Yang Tingjian couldn't cry, because this amount of silver was definitely not a lot, but Yang Tingjian couldn't agree so lightly, he had to fight on the basis of reason, so that Chongzhen felt that he had taken a big advantage.

"Your Majesty! Weichen really can't take out a million taels of silver, not to mention that there are still thousands of mouths waiting to eat in the treasure shipyard, and the abandoned treasure shipyard is not worth a million taels! 10,000 taels is up to the sky. ”

"What, the treasure shipyard is worth 10,000 taels, Aiqing is fooling me! How is it worth ...... Value...... It was worth 500,000 taels of silver. ”

Chongzhen stretched out a slap and said a price, in fact, Chongzhen was also guessing, he didn't know how much this treasure shipyard was worth, and the land alone was worth more than five million taels, plus the precious craftsmen and the woods in the woodland, the value was immeasurable.

"Sit on the ground and start the price, and pay back on the ground." must be bargained, and Chongzhen must not feel that the treasure shipyard is valuable.

"Your Majesty is wise, even Weichen knows this careful thinking that the treasure shipyard is indeed worth 300,000 taels of silver, but Weichen has to feed those thousands of craftsmen! It's better to sell 100,000 taels to Weichen. ”

"Hehe, Yang Aiqing, you are really a lion with your mouth wide open, and you can easily deduct 200,000 taels of silver, so you will give 20...... Two hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver, and the remaining twenty thousand taels of silver shall be the reward for this merit......"

This Chongzhen is really too picky, Yang Tingjian has made such a great contribution, he lost 20,000 taels when he bought the treasure shipyard, in fact, 20,000 taels also made Chongzhen feel a pain in his flesh.

"Hey...... All right...... Wechen obeyed the order. ”

"Companion, you and Yang Aiqing go through the relevant procedures, and then go to the celebrant supervisor! The silver is also stored in the treasury, and let the seal supervisor print Yang Aiqing's Tiger Ben Army out, and the military system will be the same as that of the Tianxiong Army! ”

This "Tiger Ben Military Seal" is Yang Tingjian's military seal, which is different from other generals and military seals of the Ming Dynasty, for example, Zuo Liangyu is the general seal of the Ping Thief, while Yang Tingjian does not have the title of general, so he only holds the military seal of the Tiger Ben Army.

In fact, there is no difference between Yang Tingjian, but in Chongzhen's view, Yang Tingjian does not have the title of chief soldier, and can only be regarded as a civilian official leading the military town. All right! Chongzhen has never been afraid of civil officials, and there are many civil officials he slaughtered, even a minister like Yuan Chonghuan who has a heavy army in his hands has been chopped alive by Chongzhen.

To be honest, Chongzhen is not worried about Yang Tingjian, a civilian official, who is in charge of the army, not to mention that the silver for raising the army is still Yang Tingjian's own 205, Chongzhen feels that he has made a lot of money.

But for this Yang Tingjian, it is not what Chongzhen thinks, even if he does not have the title of chief soldier, as long as he firmly controls the Tiger Ben Army, what is the difference between it and the military town.

This Longjiang shipyard was taken by Yang Tingjian, and even the establishment of the army was obtained, the Huben army was the strength of a town, the strength of a military town can be large or small, under normal circumstances, the strength should be more than 30,000, which is equivalent to the strength of an army now, but the establishment of the Tianxiong army is more than 20,000 people.

Yang Tingjian happily left the Forbidden City, and Chongzhen was also smiling, about the ministers quarreling, how to reward Yang Tingjian, he easily solved it, the price was to sell Longjiang Bao Shipyard less than 20,000 taels of silver.

As for the number of the Tiger Army, it should be given, after all, a pro-army of the Son of Heaven that can fight is also what Chongzhen needs, and Chongzhen does not want to pay money to raise the army, not to mention that Yang Tingjian, who led the army, and his parents will immediately come to Beijing as hostages, Chongzhen feels that Yang Tingjian is taken care of by himself.

Chongzhen is stingy with rewards, especially the title, which is very difficult to obtain, until now Yang Tingjian still hangs a small Jinyi Weinan Zhenfu official position, but Yang Tingjian has already obtained the military town and treasure shipyard he needs, which is enough.

Everyone was happy, Yang Tingjian handed over the silver tickets, and he got the relevant procedures within a few days, and those ministers didn't quarrel, because Chongzhen didn't reward Yang Tingjian at all, and Yang Tingjian didn't make any noise.

Whether it is the Imperial Historian, what else can they attack Yang Tingjian? Attacking Yang Tingjian and beheading traitors and traitors in Shanxi? That was the secret decree of Emperor Chongzhen, and the evidence of those traitors collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country has been handed over to the Criminal Department, and the evidence is ironclad and conclusive, who dares to make irresponsible remarks.

[Brothers, the blood is coming soon, and the battle of the Daling River in Chongzhen's four years is about to begin. 】
