Chapter 450: Four Million Taels' Warship

That night, the Emperor of the Apocalypse held a family banquet in Cining Palace, gathered his women together, and recounted the pain of separation. At night, the Emperor of the Apocalypse lived in Kunning Palace, a place that everyone expected!

Early the next morning, the Emperor of the Apocalypse got up very early, and after packing up, he came to the main hall. After not going to court for two months, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a feeling of being in a different world, looking at the ministers below, a burst of arrogance suddenly rose in his heart.

The early dynasty didn't say anything, after all, there were not many people who knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was not in the palace, and they didn't go over the previous things. After the early dynasty, the Emperor of the Apocalypse summoned several cabinet scholars in the back, which was extremely crucial.

Smiled and waved his hand to a few people, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a brisk tone: "Sit down and talk!" All of you Aiqing are not young, you have to take care of your health! ”

"The emperor is compassionate, and the ministers thank the lord Longen!" Everyone bowed and bowed, and sat down once at a time, according to the instructions of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

His gaze swept over the faces of several people, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was quite emotional, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have worked hard in the past two months, now let's talk about the things of these two months!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! The ministers have been prepared for a long time, this is a compilation of the folds prepared by the ministers, and the treatment methods are loaded on it, please take a look at the emperor! Liu Yijing stood up, took out a fold in his sleeve, bowed down, and held it in his hand.

After taking the fold presented by Wang Chengen, the Emperor of the Apocalypse slowly unfolded, looking at the dense subs on it, and lost the ** to look down. Putting the fold aside, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said with a smile: "I'm going back to see this fold, Liu Aiqing, has there been any news from Liaodong recently?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Sun Ge Lao had a recital a month ago. The affairs of Liaodong have been properly handled. The new army has already begun its exercises, and I believe that it has already achieved results! Liu Yijing's heart moved, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was really most concerned about the affairs of Liaodong.

nodded, as long as Sun Chengzong was stable, the rest was not a problem. After pondering for a long time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said to Liu Yijing again: "Is there anything else going on?" Aiqing picks the key points and talks to me! ”

I knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was unwilling to see his own twists and turns. Liu Yijing was also very helpless, although it took a lot of effort to write it by himself! After telling the important things of the past two months like the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Liu Yijing did not dare to have the slightest omission.

Nodding slowly, the Emperor of the Apocalypse had a little smile on his face, and said, "These days, you Aiqing have worked hard!" Now go back and rest, if there is anything, I will send someone to find you Aiqing! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The crowd answered. Turned around and walked outside.

As soon as he walked to the door, Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Lord Xu stays, the emperor summons Lord Xu!" ”

Not surprised at all, Xu Guangqi hugged his fist at Wang Chengen, and said with a smile: "There is a prince of Lao!" ”

Under the guidance of Wang Chengen, Xu Guangqi came to the pavilion in the imperial garden, and when he saw the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the wind was blowing in the pavilion of the Emperor of the Apocalypse! I saw Xu Guangqi coming. The Emperor of the Apocalypse frowned slightly, and said, "Xu Aiqing seems to have lost weight." It's okay to work hard for state affairs, but you must save your body! ”

"Emperor Xie cares, although the minister is over fifty, he is very healthy and can do something for the emperor. The emperor is a saint and punishes corrupt officials. Clarify the rule of officials, and the Ming Dynasty is expected to prosper. The minister was happy in his heart, this body seemed to be many years younger! Xu Guangqi sat on the side of the brocade, the wrinkles on his face were trembling, and he said with a smile.

Smiled and nodded. The Emperor of the Apocalypse was also happy in his heart, and said, "Xu Aiqing, do you know why I left you behind?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Xu Guangqi with an unusually relaxed expression.

"Back to the emperor, the minister knows. Everything is going well at the firearms factory, the development and use of firearms is going well, but there are some problems at the shipyard! Xu Guangqi nodded, a little embarrassed.

Slightly stunned, Emperor Tianqi didn't expect Xu Guangqi to have such an attitude, and hurriedly said: "If Aiqing has anything to say, don't hide anything!" ”

"Back to the emperor, the ministers and others worked day and night on shipbuilding, looking up shipbuilding classics, and learned a lot of sunset shipbuilding methods, and tried their best to achieve perfection. Finally, a prototype ship was built a month ago, and then it was modified, and now the prototype has been launched and tested, and now it can be used as a warship! Xu Guangqi nodded, still with a look of embarrassment on his face, but the words he said made the Emperor of the Apocalypse very happy!

Standing up with a smile, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said happily: "Aiqing really didn't disappoint me, it's really good!" Take me to see my new warship! ”

"Your Majesty, listen to me!" Xu Guangqi's face was slightly embarrassed, the Emperor of the Apocalypse would really be very happy.

After a pause, the Emperor of the Apocalypse sat back again, looked at Xu Guangqi who was embarrassed, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Aiqing, just say anything!" No matter who is involved, I will not tolerate it! ”

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was wrong, Xu Guangqi hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, it's not that anyone is embarrassed, it's a minister's problem." In order to pursue perfection, the cost of warships built by the ministers is a bit high! ”

"How much?" I just wanted to wave my hand and say that money is not a problem, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse swallowed his words back and asked with a serious face.

"Back to the emperor, this prototype ship has been designed since last year, and the construction will start in the spring of this year. For half a year, four million taels of silver were spent, and now the shipyard has no money! Xu Guangqi raised his head, his eyes dodging and not daring to look at the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty was not rich, and the annual tax was only four million taels, and Xu Guangqi spent four million taels on one of them, and his jaw definitely dropped when he said it.

Looking at Xu Guangqi with blazing eyes, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was also stunned, but he was even more curious about Xu Guangqi's ship! You must know that the current warship of the Ming Dynasty is only 300,000 taels, what kind of ship did these 400 taels make?

"Xu Aiqing, is it possible that all the ships built in the future will cost like this?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Xu Guangqi with a frown, if the cost of each ship was four million taels, then ten ships would be forty million taels, which the Emperor of the Apocalypse could not afford.

Emperor Apocalypse also understood why Xu Guangqi was so behaving at this time, it was impossible for such a ship to be mass-produced, it looked more like a joke!

"Back to the emperor, no! Because it is to build a naval division, then all kinds of warships must be ready. This kind of warship is super large, equipped with eighty side chord runs, and it is very powerful! As for the specifics, the emperor should go and see it in person! As for the other small warships, the cost is much cheaper! Xu Guangqi hurriedly explained to the Emperor of the Apocalypse that this was something he had already thought of!

Frowning, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was obviously not diverted by Xu Guangqi's words, and said with a little doubt on his face: "Xu Aiqing, do you mean that from spring to now, the shipyard has not built anything except this sample ship?" ”

Looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse with a little embarrassment, Xu Guangqi wanted to speak several times and stopped, and his face turned red.

Seeing Xu Guangqi's expression, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly understood, and his heart suddenly felt a little angry! I need a water division, but if this continues, I'm afraid I won't have a water division when I die!

Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't say a word, and sat there with a clear face, Xu Guangqi knew that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was really angry. Hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said with a serious face: "Back to the emperor, the minister has already prepared the drawings of other ships, and he will start work soon!" As long as a large number of recruits are recruited, I believe that it will be built quickly! ”

Sighing softly, looking at Xu Guangqi on the ground, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was also helpless in his heart, and stepped forward to help Xu Guangqi up, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said in a calm voice: "Xu Aiqing, I don't blame you, get up!" I don't have time today, tomorrow I will go to the shipbuilding and see the warship that Xu Aiqing has worked so hard to build! ”

"Thank you to the emperor, the old minister is grateful!" Xu Guangqi's face was full of gratitude, and he wanted to kneel on the ground but was held up by the Emperor of the Apocalypse!

"Okay, Xu Aiqing, go back and prepare! I'll go and see it, I hope my four million taels aren't in vain! The Emperor of the Apocalypse patted Xu Guangqi on the shoulder, with a soft smile on his face, and said in a soft tone.

Xu Guangqi left, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse slowly sat back in his chair and sighed deeply, all of which were made of silver. I don't know how much silver Jiangnan can copy out this time, I hope it will be enough to squander it for a while!

"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch!" Wang Chengen is behind the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and those things in the court have nothing to do with him, Wang Chengen doesn't ask about them. For them, the eunuchs, serving the Emperor of the Apocalypse is the most important thing.

Nodding, the Emperor of the Apocalypse slowly stood up, glanced at the lush imperial garden, and said, "Let's go!" After lunch, I still have to find someone, Huang Taiji ran away, I haven't forgotten this matter! ”

Wang Chengen, who was following the Emperor of the Apocalypse, was sinking in his heart, I am afraid that this time the Wei Dynasty will suffer! The tone of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is not good, but there are Jinyi guards in front of him, I don't know what happened to Luo Sigong!

After lunch, the Emperor of the Apocalypse left the palace with a few people, and he hadn't walked around the capital for a long time, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse felt that he was in a much better mood. Along the way, there were stops and stops, and finally the Emperor of the Apocalypse and his party stopped in front of the door of a family.

Just by looking at the door, you know that this family is extraordinary, and the two one-person-high stone lions at the door are majestic. On the horse stone and off the horse stone, not far away a row of stakes tied to the horse, at this time in front of the door to listen to a lot of cars, you can see that the traffic is busy.

Although everyone respectfully handed over the prayer post, but none of them were sent in, and it was obvious that the owner had already explained! No matter what these people said, the porter just shook his head.

There is a huge plaque on the top of the vermilion lacquer gate, with two big characters on it: Luo Fu!
