There were already a lot of people watching outside the dock, and next to a merchant ship on the dock, a fierce man was holding his fat body and couldn't stop swinging the leather whip in his hand at the skinny men in front of him.

Such a scene, Luo Yangxing didn't have much feeling, after all, in Jinyiwei... This is where it is, just when he thought it was just his own master teaching people.

The subordinate suddenly looked into the distance with some surprise, and pulled Luo Yangxing's sleeve again, made a look, and then whispered to Luo Yangxing's ear: "My lord... Look at the clothes of the men on their knees. ”

Luo Yangxing was obviously a little puzzled, and after raising his head again and taking a look, he instantly became angry as if he had rushed to the Heavenly Spirit Cover.

Just because all the men who knelt on the ground and were whipped back and forth with leather whips were wearing almost identical uniforms of the Guards, what did this mean to the Ming Dynasty... Now, even a fool understands that the imperial court is constantly improving the status of the army's soldiers in the entire Ming Dynasty, but such a thing can still happen in such a prosperous Quanzhou Mansion.

Stains, mud, had filled the worn cotton coat, and it was not pleasant to just kneel on the docks in winter.

The cold of Quanzhou Mansion is the standard Jiangnan cold.

And what is even colder than this Jiangnan is Luo Yangxing's eyes looking at the fat man on the dock, which obviously reveals a gaze like looking at a dead person.

"My lord.. What should we do? ”

The entourage on the side spoke cautiously again, but Luo Yangxing held back all his emotions, and after a long time, he slowly shook his head.

"Let's go. It's not too late, wait! ”

After speaking, Luo Yangxing left the dock behind him without looking back, and there was only one thought suspended in his mind: no wonder... No wonder His Majesty wants to thoroughly investigate the case of the sailor himself, and now it seems that it is not just about corruption.

After all, if it is only corruption, then the ability of the integrity inspector of the East Factory is probably much higher than himself, but it is on his head... That's not all.

And when Luo Yangxing hurriedly started the investigation in Quanzhou Mansion.

On the other side, in the capital, Zhu Youzhen's mood was finally eased to a certain extent. took small bites of the white porridge that had just been sent over.

Light and oil-free, bland and tasteless.. Zhu Youzhen ate the sweetness of rice in it.

Compared with external aggression, Zhu Youzhen knew that the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty were much more complicated than he imagined, and on the surface, the current Ming Dynasty was already a comfortable and peaceful landscape, and even another prosperous landscape.

The problems that keep appearing make Zhu Youzhen understand.. His previous treatment of many Ming Dynasty officials was still too easy, and even the Donglin Party itself was reluctant to kill them all, but pulled out some of the most sinful ones and beheaded them.

Other... They all survived and continued their high-consumption life in prison, but I heard that many people couldn't stand it... No matter how thick Rao is Donglin's family belongings, I'm afraid no one will be willing to spend more money on these officials in prison.

"Spread Zhao Yunkai, I still have something to say to him."

Zhu Youzhen slowly spoke, and after speaking, he continued to eat the white porridge in the bowl, and Wang Chengen on the side hurriedly took Zhu Youzhen's words and went to greet people.

Since Miyagi came back.

Zhao Yunkai's heart is like turning over the river and the sea, but he is not currently living in the capital... As for the reason, maybe it was because Zhao Yunkai felt that the beds in the inn were too soft, and only the hard bed in the Tianhu Army camp was more suitable for him.

Then he got up and went to live in the Tianhu Army garrison in Jingshi.

For several days, there was no news from the palace again, and Zhao Yunkai did not dare to return to Penglai, so he spent time here in this way.

Finally, in the early morning, Zhao Yunkai saw the carriage rushing towards the camp in the distance, and even muttered with tears in his eyes: "This will.. You should be able to go back to Penglai! ”

It was exactly the same as Zhao Yunkai expected.

The little eunuch who jumped down from the carriage also hurriedly said after seeing Zhao Yunkai: "Lord Zhao.. Let's go to the palace with our family, the emperor is greeting you! ”

Zhao Yunkai nodded, and after sorting out the clothes on his body, he got into the carriage and came to the palace.

Zhu Youzhen once waited here early for a long time.

Recently, even though it is winter, there are still political affairs in the court, which makes Zhu Youzhen's original wish to be able to accompany his youngest son more every day is mostly in vain.

"Minister, Zhao Yunkai, come to see you!"

"Let's go in.."

Inside the Council Chamber.

Zhu Youzhen picked up the teacup and said to Zhao Yunkai: "Halfway through the conversation with you before, there were some other problems... I have another question for Aiqing now. ”

Zhao Yunkai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty.. The minister must know everything, and the words are endless! ”

"That is, according to Aiqing's view, how should the Ming Water Master develop... I'm not just talking about you, Shandong Sailor, nor is it the current Daming Sailor. ”、

After such a question was thrown out by Zhu Youzhen, Zhao Yunkai suddenly fell into contemplation, the development of the water division is not a day or two that can see the results.

It's just that what Zhao Yunkai doesn't know is his scruples, and Zhu Youzhen also knows that in later generations, there is already a complete theoretical system for the construction of sailors, that is, the navy, but the world background is different.

In particular, there is still a huge difference between the levels of productivity, and it is impossible for Zhu Youzhen to rashly apply the experience of later generations directly to the Ming Dynasty.

That's why I chose to ask the current Admiral of the Eastern Naval Division of the Ming Dynasty, which is also the first naval force formed after Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne.

Zhao Yunkai pondered for a while before he spoke: "I don't know what Your Majesty said, whether you want to improve the strength of the Great Ming Water Master in a short period of time, or do you want to discuss with the Minister a direction for the future Great Ming Water Master..."

In fact, what Zhao Yunkai said was a bit direct, but Zhu Youzhen obviously didn't care about these trivial issues.

He said directly: "Oh? Aiqing seems to have some insights on both? Let's talk about it together, I can be regarded as listening to your lesson. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare.. The minister is just some humble opinion... If Your Majesty wants to listen, the minister will speak. ”

Subsequently, Zhao Yunkai continued: "If you want to improve the strength of the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time, it is actually very simple... Increase investment in personnel training and shipyard construction, and now Daming's steam-powered ironclad ships have taken the lead in all overseas countries, and it can be said that they will become the new maritime hegemon..."

"As long as there are enough of them, the minister will be able to secure the position of the overlord of the sea."
