The reform of the Bao Shipyard is going well, and Tang Ming is also in a good mood, which will be warm with Xiao Ding in his own small courtyard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tinker sat on Tang Ming's lap, snuggled in his arms and sent a snack to his mouth, his movements were not familiar, and Tinker was like a thief, his eyes were always looking around, and he was nervous as soon as there was a little wind and grass around.

Tang Ming shook his head helplessly, he originally had a rare time tonight and wanted to warm up with this girl and live a two-person world. It's just that she was allowed to sit in her arms, and there was no one here, she was still too shy to do it.

Seeing that Xiao Ding's nervous Tang Ming's salty pig hand was raised, he hesitated to touch Xiao Ding's body. The original good mood was wiped out by Tinker's disturbance, and it seems that if he wants to enjoy the services of his wife in the future, he has to work hard to train him.

"Xianggong, let's go inside, it's not good to be seen outside hugging and hugging like this." Xiao Ding was really ashamed, and asked Tang Ming in a low voice.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly rushed from outside the courtyard, and people didn't see it but heard a loud roar first: "Weihaihou, something big has happened!" ”

Xiao Ding was so frightened by this sudden roar that he screamed, hurriedly escaped from Tang Ming's embrace, spread his legs and covered his face and ran into the house.

Tang Ming was almost knocked to the ground by Xiao Ding's movements, and when he sat down again, Zhu Gaochi's fat body had already appeared in front of him.

"I said, Your Royal Highness the Prince, what are you here shouting about this big night?" Tang Ming glanced at Zhu Gaochi dissatisfied, for the guy who disturbed his good deeds, he was full of anger in his heart at the moment.

When Zhu Gaochi rushed over just now, he happened to see Xiao Ding running away from Tang Ming's arms in a panic, he didn't expect that this brother, who usually looked serious, would actually hide in his small courtyard to do such a dirty thing, for a while he forgot what he had done in a hurry, and stood in front of Tang Ming in a daze and kept scanning with contempt.

"The queen wants to withhold the monthly appropriation of the treasure shipyard." Zhu Gaochi was too lazy to argue with Tang Ming.

Stunned for a moment, Tang Ming finally reacted to what Zhu Gaochi said, Bao Shipyard has just started, where can the queen be tossed like this, it is 350,000 taels of silver per month! That's not a small amount.

"This is what the Queen told you herself?" Tang Ming asked suspiciously.

Nodding, Zhu Gaochi said depressedly: "It's not false at all, I just told me not long ago, and I immediately rushed to find you." ”

"Hmph, the queen is testing me!" Tang Ming covered his forehead with his hand and said with emotion.

"Why?"

"And why, as soon as the queen heard the news of the profit of the treasure shipyard, she immediately called you over, and leaked such news to you, so you won't come to me. She is using you to test my reaction, and if she acquiesces, she will immediately issue an edict, so we will have to go to the palace to protest to the queen. ”

Tang Ming has also fought with the queen a few times, and his understanding of her is even more thorough than that of Zhu Gaochi, a son. I must not regress this time, otherwise I will be squeezed dry by the queen one day.

There was no time to comfort Xiao Ding, who was frightened just now, Tang Ming and Zhu Gaochi got into the carriage again and hurried to the palace.

The queen was indeed testing Tang Ming's bottom line this time, and after the prince hurriedly left the palace gate, there were eunuchs who were secretly observing to tell her. She didn't sleep peacefully, but was waiting for Tang Ming's arrival.

A secret report came from the north, saying that the emperor and the Tatars had already clashed once, and the two sides had casualties on each other, and the strength of the Tatars far exceeded Zhu Di's estimates, and Zhu Di, who was a little light on the enemy, suffered a small loss in the first battle.

This war will not end easily, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Zhu Di, the Tatars are based on guerrilla tactics, they are divided into small groups of troops, constantly harassing Zhu Di, and there are several elusive cavalry, specializing in robbing villages and small towns on the border of the Ming Dynasty, and feeding their troops with looted things.

The battlefield is in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di is very passive this time, and there will definitely be problems with the supply of grain and grass in the rear for a long time. Zhu Di also specially instructed the queen in this letter, asking her to order Tang Ming to step up the training of the hundred dead soldiers, he was of great use.

The queen knows that Tang Ming is a donkey character, this guy is a lazy donkey, and he will take a step if you whip it. In order to make him actively do what the emperor explained, the queen had to come up with a way to use the appropriation from the treasure shipyard to spur Tang Ming.

As soon as Tang Ming and the crown prince entered the gate of the imperial city, the queen got the news, and a smile rose on the corner of her mouth, she knew that Tang Ming had taken the bait.

The prince was in front of Tang Ming behind, the two hurriedly came to the queen's bedroom, after the eunuch's announcement, they stepped on the door and entered, after seeing the ceremony, Tang Ming asked bluntly: "I don't know if the queen told the prince to intercept the monthly allocation of 350,000 taels of silver from the treasure shipyard, can this matter be serious?" ”

Seeing Tang Ming's red eyes and an impatient look, the queen smiled and nodded: "This is indeed the case, Weihaihou does have the ability to do business, and the mourning family has to look at you differently." This treasure shipyard has only been profitable for a few days after your hand, and I heard that you have also paid the craftsmen of the treasure shipyard to increase their welfare. From this point of view, the treasure shipyard no longer needs the state to allocate funds, and it is better to save such a sum of money to buy some grain and grass for the emperor to send to the front. ”

Tang Ming was anxious, where is this treasure shipyard profitable, this merchant ship is not profitable if it is not built well and has not been put to sea. Only when merchant ships can sail at sea can they be considered truly profitable.

"The queen didn't know that Weichen paid the craftsmen and increased their benefits in order to make them work hard. Besides, I am a private job, it seems unreasonable to ask them to work for free, and the money is also from those merchants, and the treasure shipyard can't just do the work of the state if it wants to really live, and now it is only starting to take the work outside, and when it is still experimenting, it is really not profitable, so Weichen implores the queen mother not to withhold this appropriation. ”

The queen's true intention was not to really intercept the appropriation of the treasure shipyard, this saw that Tang Ming was anxious, and she didn't want to go too far, so she smiled casually: "It's not impossible not to withhold the appropriation, the mourning family just received a secret letter from the emperor today, the war on the Tatar side is not optimistic, this battle may take a long time, and the supply of food and grass for this logistics must be prepared as soon as possible." And also....... ”

The queen paused for a moment and looked at Tang Ming, seeing that he was listening carefully, before continuing: "There is also the matter that the emperor wants to mourn the family to urge the training of those hundred dead soldiers, I don't know where you have trained?" The emperor urgently needs these people on the battlefield of Tatar, and Weihai Hou has to hurry up and do a good job of this, and the others can be put aside later. (To be continued.) )
