Taking a deep breath, Lin Pingzhi nodded towards Chu Yi and said, "My subordinates have written it down!" ”

When Lin Pingzhi retreated, Chu Yi sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed, and his breath was like nothing, and he had already entered a state of cultivation.

Chu Yi has a lot of affairs in Su Rili, and just dealing with some things takes up a considerable part of his time and energy, which is the result of Chu Yi delegating the power in his hands to others as much as possible.

If Chu Yi really grasped all the power in his hands, I am afraid that it would be twelve hours a day, and the whole person would be busy, and I am afraid that there would be things that could not be dealt with.

Chu Yi was able to have such a cultivation as he is now, and a considerable part of it was because of the blessing of the Qi Luck Altar and the burning of Qi Luck, which made Chu Yi's cultivation efficiency almost ten times that of normal days.

Don't look at the amount of Qi Luck consumed once or twice, but once the number of times is too many and it becomes a normal state, Chu Yi will need to consume a considerable amount of Qi Luck just to maintain this state of cultivation.

The amount of Qi Luck that Chu Yi has collected over the years is not a small amount, but some of it has been used for cultivation, and it can be said that so far, this is the first time that Qi Luck has exceeded 500,000.

In the state of burning qi luck, blessed by the altar of qi luck, Chu Yi was in a state of mystery and mystery, and if the efficiency of his cultivation was known to others, he was afraid that his eyes would fall off.

Even though Chu Yi only spends one or two hours a day to practice, the effect of his cultivation is enough to be equivalent to two or three days of others, and compared to that kind of cultivation maniac, he spends almost all of his time on cultivation.

On the second day, the sky was bright, Chu Yi was flipping through the chapters transferred by the cabinet, Chu Yi was the chief supervisor of the ceremonial supervisor, although there were other people under him to help him take care of the entire celebrant eunuch, and even those concerts were not all approved by him, but by the other celebrant supervisors to read them first, and then according to the priority of the matter, only the really important things would be presented to Chu Yi.

When Chu Yi held a piece of music in his hand and swept his eyes over the content of the piece, a bright light flashed in Chu Yi's eyes, and the content of the book in this piece can be regarded as a piece of good news.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Cheng Xiangwu have already escorted the spoils captured along the way from the grassland and slowly returned.

After reading this recital, Chu Yi knew why Cheng Xiangwu had such a recital, on the one hand, the reason was to report to the court and Chu Yi for meritorious service, and on the other hand, to ask the court for help.

In the final analysis, Cheng Xiangwu had fewer men and horses in his hands, escorting more than 100,000 Tatar women, driving nearly 10 million cattle, sheep, horses, etc., and the places he passed were like locusts crossing the border, and the originally dense grassland left a deep imprint.

If this is still an escort of prisoners, then it's okay, the key is that those loot, whether it is cattle or horses, for the Ming Dynasty is extremely lacking, if you can bring more of these trophies back to the Ming Dynasty, then it will inevitably bring great help to the Ming Dynasty.

Chu Yi lifted the Zhu pen, personally made instructions on the chapter, and stamped the seal of the celebrant supervisor, and then the recital will be sent to the Son of Heaven Zhu Houzhao, if Zhu Houzhao is conscientious, he will naturally look at these recitals that have been printed by the celebrant and the eunuch, if Zhu Houzhao is delayed and happy and ignores the government, then these recitals will be sent down for execution after a passing scene with the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, in many cases, on the top of the chapter, the review and opinion of the celebrant is equivalent to the decision of the Son of Heaven, and it is precisely because of this that the chief celebrant is called the internal minister.

Right next to Chu Yi, a small stack of concerts was piled high, all of which were selected by the celebrant and had to be decided by Chu Yi.

These concertos were sent from the capital quickly, and it took about an hour or two along the way, and these concerts were all sent on the same day, if there was anything important, there would be a special person to send the concertos to Chu Yi as soon as possible.

A bunch of pieces were sorted out by Lin Pingzhi, and then someone was arranged to send them back to Jingshi.

With a loud bang, I saw a huge ship several feet high crashing into the river, splashing a huge splash.

In this shipyard, Chu Yi watched the big boat enter the river, the hull of the ship swayed, and when the hull stabilized, even the splashing waves gradually calmed down.

Just beside Chu Yi, several shipyard leaders watched the big ship fall into the water with nervous expressions, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief when everything went well.

After all, Chu Yi was in front of him, if there was something wrong with the launch of the new ship, they were worried that Chu Yi would send someone to punish them.

Chu Yi bowed slightly, obviously very satisfied with the process of the new ship entering the water, his eyes fell on several shipyard leaders, and he only heard Chu Yi say slowly: "Chief Lin, this king also asks you, with the shipyard's current shipbuilding capacity, how many such ships can be launched in a year?" ”

I only heard that the chief of Nalin took a deep breath and said to Chu Yi: "Back to the prince, if there are enough raw materials, the shipyard workers can launch dozens of big ships in a year. ”

When he said this, Director Lin showed a little pride and self-satisfaction on his face, obviously feeling very proud of such an achievement.

Chu Yi has not inspected one or two shipyards, so it can be said that he has a clear understanding of the capabilities of shipyards.

This shipyard in Tianjin Wei is a large shipyard that can be ranked among the top three in the Ming Dynasty, and dozens of large ships launched in a year are indeed a lot for shipyards, but Chu Yi feels a little slow.

Noticing the change in Chu Yi's expression, and seeing Chu Yi's brows furrowed and a look of not being very satisfied, Director Lin sighed in his heart, and hurriedly whispered: "But if you work overtime, the shipyard's production capacity can be increased by about 30%. ”

Dozens of big ships, if you say that it is increased by 30%, it is almost a dozen big ships, which is already a lot.

glanced at Director Lin lightly, and only heard Chu Yi say: "It is possible to ensure the quality of shipbuilding?" If something goes wrong with the quality of the ship, this king will definitely not mind cutting off a few more heads! ”

Suddenly, Director Lin and several people fell on the ground with a puff and kept kowtowing to Chu Yi: "I don't dare to wait, I don't dare to wait!" ”

Waving his hand, Chu Yi knocked these people and didn't say anything, Chu Yi still knew something about the officials of the Ming Dynasty over the years.

These officials are obviously able to do ten percent when doing things, but many times they only do eight or nine percent, and few of them can do their duty.

If it is for a newcomer, it is natural that he does not understand the doorway, but because he is very clear about the doorway, he only needs to knock on it to ensure that these officials do their best, rather than only doing their best but only doing their best.

Seeing Chu Yi and his party leave, several officials led by Chief Lin breathed a sigh of relief, it was really Chu Yi's power that was too strong, don't look at Chu Yi looking very young, but when they really faced Chu Yi, they could feel the kind of power that Chu Yi exuded invisibly.

In the final analysis, Chu Yi's murderous reputation is too strong, even high-ranking officials and powerful people are nothing in Chu Yi's hands, and there are no less than a dozen powerful people who have been directly or indirectly exterminated by Chu Yi, if Chu Yi is willing, he can even easily destroy all of them.

Director Lin glanced at the group and said with a somewhat wry smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has heard the order of the chief manager, and in the coming days, this official hopes that everyone can do their best and go all out to build as many big ships as possible." ”

Although Chu Yi said that he didn't know what happened after he left, even if he couldn't see it, Chu Yi himself could guess it.

Leaving the shipyard, Chu Yi rushed to repair a military camp a few miles east of the Tianjin Acropolis.

Originally, the admiral of the sailor was appointed by Cheng Xiangwu, but now Cheng Xiangwu is leading the army to attack on the prairie, so naturally there is no effort to train the sailor soldiers and horses.

However, there are almost more than 10,000 soldiers and horses recruited by Chu Yi stationed in Beijing, and these soldiers and horses are all innocent men who are proficient in water when they were recruited by Cheng Xiangwu to the poor coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong.

At the beginning, Cheng Xiangwu almost recruited nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses, but this does not mean that there is no follow-up, according to Chu Yi's orders, Cheng Xiangwu left some personnel in Guangdong, Fujian and other places to be responsible for recruiting soldiers in a small area.

Not long ago, a group of almost 3,000 recruits entered the barracks, bringing the total number of the newly renovated naval battalion to 18,000.

Cheng Xiangwu was not there, but Chu Yi arranged for Xu Tianzuo to personally take charge of the training of the army.

The moment Chu Yi entered the barracks, a hot training scene entered Chu Yi's sight.

Xu Tianzuo has a good background, although he is not a descendant of the Xu family of Dingguo Gong, but he can also get in touch with the family heritage of the Xu family.

The Xu clan inherited from Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, who was a handsome talent in the Ming Dynasty, and even wrote Xu Da's military book.

Throughout history, what kind of characters are those who can leave military books, such as Taigong Jiang Shang, military saint Sun Wu, etc.

Xu Da was able to write a book of war and pass it down, which shows Xu Da's attainments in the art of war.

The Ming Dynasty has closed the sea for many years, and the huge sailors who have been crisscrossing the ocean more than 100 years ago have disappeared, and hundreds of years have passed, not to mention those former soldiers, even the ships of the past have now disappeared in the long river of time.

Now that Chu Yi has implemented the policy of opening the sea, in just over a month, fishermen and people in coastal places such as Guangdong and Fujian have gone to the sea one after another. The originally sneaky operation to go to sea suddenly became legal, and many private ships were able to see the light at once.

To this end, Chu Yi opened up more than a dozen cities in the coastal areas, managing coastal commerce and collecting commercial taxes.

Originally, the Ming Dynasty did not have the location of the market division that those merchants could legally trade, and the original few market divisions were gradually abolished, or they had already lost the function of the market division.

Now there are more than a dozen more market companies all of a sudden, and the happiest ones are naturally those businessmen, which means that their future business activities at sea are no longer illegal, and it is also these businessmen who scold Chu Yi the most behind their backs, because the business tax collected by Chu Yi has reached as much as one or five percent.

Although this commercial tax is insignificant compared to the profit of the commodity, these merchants of the Ming Dynasty are not willing to pay even a cent of tax silver, let alone a half of the total value of their goods.

When the city shipping department was just established, there was no way to see a few ships taking the initiative to enter these city shipping divisions to dock, and then report the goods carried by the ships in accordance with the procedures and pay the taxes and silver.

Huating County is the mouth of the Yangtze River, and it is also the Shanghai of later generations, which has now shown its geographical advantages.

The imperial court opened the Huating City Ship Division in Huating, which was responsible for managing the affairs of Huating merchants going to sea to do business, but the Huating City Ship Division had been open for half a month since the date of its opening, and no businessman went to Huating City to report and pay taxes and silver.

On a restaurant in Huating County, several wealthy businessmen dressed in exquisite silk and satin were gathering together to talk about it, only to hear one of them frowning and saying: "Ladies and gentlemen, since the imperial court opened the sea, a large number of people from Guangdong, Fujian and other places have joined the sea trade, and in just half a month, the price of silk, tea, porcelain, etc. shipped overseas has fallen by almost two percent, and in the long run, I am afraid that our profits will be greatly reduced." ”

The silk, tea, and porcelain of the Ming Dynasty were themselves giants of overseas trade, and relying on these trades, as well as several times the terrible profits, a large number of maritime merchants rose, and a large amount of silver began to flow into the Ming Dynasty.

A wealthy businessman with a ruby wrench flashed a little hatred in his eyes and said: "Chu Yi opened the sea, which caused us to suffer a lot of interests, especially what is unbearable, Chu Yi is simply crazy, and he even opened his mouth to swallow the tax silver worth half of the value of the goods in one bite, which is really worthy of a eunuch, and there is only silver money in his eyes." ”

The maritime merchant glanced at the crowd and said: "Everyone, I believe that as long as we join forces, everyone should not go, and no one else will be allowed to go to Huating City to report goods and pay taxes and silver, and if you want to come for a month at most, the imperial court will inevitably abolish Huating City." ”

"What Brother Liu said is very true, we must unite, and let the court and Chu Yi know that we are not easy to mess with."

A maritime merchant couldn't help but show a little sadness on his face and said: "Everyone, Chu Yi is not so easy to provoke, have you forgotten that the heads of the people killed by Chu Yi in the land south of the Yangtze River are rolling?" ”
