Chapter Ninety-Nine: How Did She Get Here?

Xiaotian is a person who will never trouble others because of trivial matters, especially Jiajing and these big guys, in other words, there is no trivial matter when this grandson comes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Potatoes and corn are simple, just plant them, after all, Xiaotian swears that he has a head guarantee, and there is still credibility, and even if this thing can't grow, it's nothing more than empty joy.

It is more troublesome to delegate power, and the imperial court is embarrassed to send a few people over to take over the power, and you have to give some dowry to marry a girl, not to mention the placement of generals in other people's troops. Reliable officers and soldiers of the guard station must be sent, so how many are appropriate? The little bastard asked for SD Qi Jiguang by name, this person was originally from Dengzhou, Liu An's old superior, and now he has been promoted to manage the three guards of Dengzhou, Wendeng, and Jimo, and the Dengzhou Navy Division has been wrapped up and given to the meeting, and it has not been replenished yet, where do you let us send troops to you, these three guards are also supplementary defense lines on the Suliao border, so they can't give you time.

Who knows that this is not counted, this kid has always been bombed intensively, and finally the cabinet arranged the decentralization of power, and drew troops from all over the country to make up for SD, and finally gave Qi Jiguang a dowry of more than 5,000 people, and this kid wants a warship again.

In fact, the shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty in this era is far ahead, until the Zhengde period, many of the shipbuilding technology in Europe are still in tatters with what we bought, and the technology is leading, at least before the industrial revolution, European ships are still not comparable with us.

There is only one reason why the shipbuilding industry is withering, and that is poverty.

The small boats of the Ming Dynasty can catch fish and fight against the Japanese, but the big ships are useless, the navy has been costing money since ancient times, and the military department has now begun to owe money to the border army, can you expect them to place orders to build ships?

Although Xiaotian made a lot of money, after all, most of them had to wait until the end of the year to get the silver, and all the money he earned before was put on a textile machine, which was lent to silk merchants, and the imperial court also set up a little inside and outside.

During the Ming Dynasty, the private shipyards could only produce small ships, at most medium-sized ships, and large warships could only find the government, whether it was to attack Xu Hai or attack Luzon Xiaotian, a large number of warships were needed.

There were two main official shipyards of the Ministry of Industry in the Ming Dynasty, one in Nanjing and the other in Fuzhou. A large number of technicians have gone to fend for themselves because they can't afford to eat, and if they want to build big ships, they have to be called back, and it is not so easy for a factory that has stopped to work again, and most importantly, the imperial court does not think that these two factories need to be restarted.

Shipbuilding is too expensive, even if the court has money, it should be spent on the blade, in their eyes, there are a lot of words, but it definitely includes shipbuilding.

Even if Xiaotian repeatedly said that he was willing to bear the cost of shipbuilding, and even was willing to pay profits, these bigwigs still disagreed. They said that muskets and artillery should be given as much as they wanted, and of course they had to pay money, and there were no warships or doors.

Xiaotian knows that unless the cabinet approves that shipbuilding is equivalent to making silver, these two shipyards will not be able to open. Although Xiao Tian himself knew this, not only to make silver, in the sixteenth century, shipbuilding was simply to make gold. But he didn't know what to tell the cabinet.

There was no way, and in the end the cabinet told him, concentrate on suppressing the Japanese, and if you suppress the Japanese, the sailors of the imperial court will lend you them. Big brother, can you tell me what our sailor used before when he was fighting against the Japanese?

Xiaotian stayed in the capital for half a month, this matter still can't be settled, I will spend tens of thousands of taels in minutes, I can't afford to spend it with you, can't I go, Qi Jiguang has to arrange for more than half a year to be in place, and I will come back in half a year.

The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, not to mention that Xiaotian's small home is quite well arranged, from the end of last year, to the present mid-March, nearly four months, Xiaotian himself does not know what he is busy with, anyway, he has not been idle for a long time, Xia Ke Island is the same every day, since the establishment of relations with Valorock, the Portuguese on this island have appeared more and more frequently,

At first, the islanders were very curious to see these yellow-haired, blue-eyed Portuguese, but after only a few days, everyone got used to it, and people who have been at sea for many years have a better ability to accept new things than people on land.

Xiao Tian was sitting in the newly opened teahouse on the island at this time, listening to the storyteller of the teahouse talking about his eagle shooting, looking at the various crowds in the window, some were selling, some were bargaining, some were soliciting customers, and even there were bankrupt small merchants selling family heirlooms.

Looking at this town that was built from scratch and built by himself, Xiaotian was extremely proud in his heart, and looked at every corner as if he was looking at his own children.

The center of the island is a supermarket, the boss is of course Xiaotian himself, different from later generations, the first floor is retail, the second floor is all wholesale, Xiaotian dares to guarantee, the variety of goods in this supermarket is enough to make the largest grocery store on land ashamed, the south to the north, the end of the world, as long as it is a commodity that can be used, it can be found here. What SX's Fenjiu, Yang Liuqing's New Year's paintings, SD's green onions, Liuyang's whips, usually just heard of things, all sold in supermarkets.

Next to the supermarket is the heaven and earth of Xiaotiankai, which eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles and gambles one-stop service, draws on the experience of later generations, kills a few streets of the Qinhuai River in seconds, the men on the sea have no home, many people do not want to tomorrow after today, and it has also become the largest consumption place for the lords on the sea, and every day several prodigal sons who spend the last copper plate in it and refuse to leave.

But Xiaotian has never been there, although he is the boss, but he has never entered it once, and even let others come to cut the ribbon, no way, does the family have a fierce wife, Xiaotian can't beat Li Yan, and he is reluctant to do it with Li Yan.

Speaking of Li Yan, in the future generations it is simply a template of a good wife, Nuoda's family business is actually taken care of by her, Xiaotian has not been on the island for half a year, in order to be able to worry about Xiaotian, a rural woman who is illiterate in big words, she has studied hard for two years, and Xu Wei asked for teaching, now the abacus is crackling, after Xiaotian taught her the basics of modern mathematics, the account books on the island have always been grasped by her personally, and she has done quite well, and it is she who made the accounts that were sent to Jiajing's bookshelf.

Not only that, Li Yan was able to enter the kitchen, not only learned a good cooking skill, but also learned a good massage technique and bed skills from the Japanese woman she bought, and squeezed Xiaotian clean with her own strength.

"Master, it's time for us to go home, it's almost time to pass, you won't go again, Madame should come out to find you."

Xiaotian complained: "Damn, don't let it stop when you come out to drink tea, you said that this island is a place where a family in heaven and earth play tricks, and there are her people up and down, as long as I dare to enter the door and kill before I take off my clothes, why am I still so dead?" Woman, it's trouble."

The guards also came to praise at this time, and said: "That is, the head of the house is too accustomed to the lady, this lady is good anywhere, but the vinegar is a little bigger, and the head of the house should also be in charge."

Xiaotian scolded with a smile: "You know a fart, this is love, I love my daughter-in-law, I know no"

As soon as the words fell, I saw a shadow outside the window, and went directly from the chair to the ground.

"Damn, why is she here".

The one outside the window seemed to have seen Xiao Tian sitting on the second floor of the teahouse, and beckoned to him with a chuckle, who was it not Lu Rui.
