Seeing his daughter jumping up, the crown prince Liu Rong felt very shameless, and said sternly: "What's the comparison, you are His Royal Highness the little county lord of our big man, is it necessary to compare with others?"

Liu Yuying immediately-for-tat: "Of course, there is no need to compare with others, but the other party is the princess of Daqin, and we are half a catty against eight taels, and only by competing with each other can it show that our Han royal family is stronger, isn't it?"

The crown prince was speechless, and Emperor Liu Qi smiled: "It's better to compare with one, otherwise Princess Daqin still thinks that we have no one in Han." ”

Liu Yuying said happily: "It's still the emperor's grandfather who is the most enlightened!"

The emperor advised: "However, you have to do one thing, that is, you can't fight with the other party, she is now our captive, she should be treated favorably, you can't bully others." ”

Liu Yuying said solemnly: "Grandpa Huang, don't worry, Grandpa Huang, you have never been that kind of person, then you continue to chat, I will go to the temple to find Sister Dongfang, and by the way, meet Princess Daqin." ”

After speaking, she jumped away with Xiaoqiu in her arms.

The prince shook his head helplessly, and said, "Father, you have been spoiled by you, and you may become more presumptuous in the future, how can you marry someone then?"

Liu Qi said indifferently: "The emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, how many people have sharpened their heads and are waiting to be a concubine for the emperor, what do you have to worry about? Besides, she is a sensible child, and as she grows older, she will definitely become more mature and sensible, Yunyang, do you say yes?"

Faced with this kind of cold question, Ye Yunyang didn't know how to answer, but he would never comment on something against his will, saying: "Judging from the current situation of Ying Ying, it is definitely impossible to become a well-informed lady, and the growth environment determines her future character." Because she was born to be a high-ranking little county lord, playing a little temper is her true temperament, if she is deliberately cultivated to be a lady, it is not in line with her identity. ”

The emperor nodded very happily, the reason why he liked Ye Yunyang was because he knew when to tell the truth and when to shut up.

"Emperor, have you heard everything?" the emperor asked his son very meaningfully.

Liu Rong nodded: "I heard it, Yun Yang is right, identity determines character, the county lord should have the style and arrogance of the county lord, and it is the son who makes things simple." ”

The emperor waved his hand, thinking that you can understand, don't be embarrassed in the future baby granddaughter, in the lifeless palace, everyone learns to be a man with their tail between their legs, everything is put in the first place by rules, it is a miracle that such a living treasure can appear, it is too late to protect, no one is allowed to deliberately change her.

Not only Liu Yuying, but strictly speaking, Ye Yunyang was also valued by the emperor for this reason.

In the court, civil and military officials have long formed a set of systems, whether it is the last dynasty to discuss politics, or the next dynasty to deal with various affairs, are carried out in accordance with this system, even if the system is perfect, it will make people feel dull and boring after a long time.

Liu Qi has been the emperor for decades, and there is nothing wrong with the officials abiding by the system, but in his opinion, there is a lack of novelty, but he can't change the rules because he wants to have a sense of freshness, and then the world will not be in chaos.

On the one hand, eager to change, on the other hand, do not dare to change, then suddenly appeared a person who does not play cards according to the convention, this person has excellent intelligence, anything to him can be easily solved, the most important thing is that he does not like to abide by the routine, the process of doing things as he wants, but the final result is always people can not find fault.

Ye Yunyang is such a person, he is flexible and not rigid, and he will not touch the emperor's bottom line while being ingenious, so he will be loved by the emperor.

Strictly speaking, Liu Yuying and Ye Yunyang are the same kind of people.

Because of this, when Ye Yunyang taught her how to behave in the world, on the one hand, let her learn the ability to recognize people and things, but on the other hand, he did not deliberately change her personality.

If she falls out of favor in front of the emperor and the crown prince because of the change in her personality, it will be more than worth the loss.

Ye Yunyang taught well, and Liu Yuying learned very well.

The emperor took a sip of his teacup and said, "Yunyang, the coast guard has taken over Lieyang Island, and our shipbuilding plan can be implemented immediately, do you have any suggestions?"

Ye Yunyang said with a straight face: "The minister has three suggestions. ”

The emperor's eyes lit up: "Let's hear it." ”

Among the three recommendations, the first two points revolve around Lieyang Island.

First, with Lieyang Island as a base, the garrison sent troops to suppress other pirates, and those who were willing to surrender were taken for their own use, and the defense of Lieyang Island was strengthened.

Increase the patrol tasks on the island, continue to send experts to take charge, and first ensure the safety of Lieyang Island before implementing other things.

Second, send skilled shipwrights, blacksmiths and other technical personnel to Lieyang Island, relying on the primeval forests on the island, to cut down trees and build ships.

On Lieyang Island, there are tens of thousands of acres of primeval forest, many of which are more than 1,000 years old, which are the best raw materials for making new warships.

According to preliminary estimates, these trees can build at least 10,000 large ships with a length of 20 zhang, and since they can be made from local materials, it is equivalent to solving a big problem.

Third, send cavalry to the coast and set up mobile units to counter the harassment of pirates coming ashore.

Although Ye Yunyang captured Ying Qi and completed a big reversal on Lieyang Island, before Lieyang Island, she had successfully bought several powerful pirates, and these outlaws got the benefits, and they would definitely fulfill their promise and send troops to attack and harass the coastal areas of Dahan.

Therefore, Dahan must take corresponding actions to prevent such things from happening.

Listening to his analysis, the emperor said: "The three are very important, the prince will arrange it immediately, and he must implement Yunyang's opinions, especially the safety of Lieyang Island and the coast, which is the top priority." ”

The crown prince nodded: "Erchen understands." ”

Ye Yunyang took out a letter from his pocket and opened it to the emperor, there was not a word on it, but a sketch of a battleship.

The emperor's gaze was immediately attracted, and he pointed to the platform at the stern of the warship and asked, "What is this?"

The first half of the sketch is not much different from an ordinary sailboat, the most obvious difference is in the stern, Ye Yunyang replied: "The flying wing take-off and landing platform, the area and structural strength need to meet the needs of two medium-sized flying wings to take off and land at the same time, and in front of the platform is the flying wing storage warehouse. ”

The emperor's eyes lit up: "Carrying flying wings on the station ship can not only improve the reconnaissance ability, but also enhance the long-range strike capability, which is a good idea." ”

Ye Yunyang said with a smile: "Your Majesty is looking at the fire, just by looking at the sketch, you can tell the merits, and Weichen admires it." ”

Sycophants, when it's time to shoot, we still have to shoot, who makes the family a gentleman and we are a minister, since it is a part-time job for the boss, in addition to doing a good job wholeheartedly, it is very important to make the boss happy.

The emperor waved his hand and said modestly: "The combat ability of the flying wings is obvious to everyone, if it were not for the high cost of it, the Han would have given up the strategy of fighting large regiments on the ground, instead of just letting the flying wings serve as reconnaissance and harassment missions, because the number of flying wings is too small and too precious." ”

It is conceivable that if each new warship was equipped with two medium-sized flying wings, plus a few martial arts masters, it would be possible to launch an attack on enemy ships from the air. Ships at sea are no more fragile than the mainland with their feet on the ground, and once they are sunk, the people on board will lose their foothold, and they will only end up in the belly of a fish if they have no skills.

The prince was also interested in the sketches, and proposed: "Why don't you summon the ministers of the Ministry of Works, make more accurate designs than the sketches, and then let the Lieyang Island Shipyard manufacture them." ”

The emperor shook his head: "No, the most important thing is to keep the secrets public, once the drawings are made public, even if they are made public in a small area, they may be obtained by the Great Qin spies, the Qin people have a strong ability to imitate, after they get the drawings, maybe they will produce new warships before us." ”

The crown prince nodded: "Father is right, it's the son's ministers who don't think it through." ”

The emperor turned to seek Ye Yunyang's opinion.

Ye Yunyang said that the drawings do not need to go through the Ministry of Industry, and those officials who are full of fat brains may not know how to build ships, as for the drawing of drawings, they will be directly handed over to the front-line shipbuilders, who have skilled shipbuilding experience and will be able to consider it in more detail.

After the drawings are determined, they are immediately divided into several parts, handed over to different teams of shipwrights for manufacturing, and finally - a unified combination and assembly, even if the enemy obtains some of the drawings, it will not be possible to copy the whole ship.

The three of them chatted for two hours, and the emperor approved all of Ye Yunyang's proposals.

The emperor drank all the tea in the cup, and suddenly asked coldly, "Yun Yang, what are you going to do with the 100,000 taels of gold on Lieyang Island?"

Ye Yunyang was stunned for a moment, the Emperor of the Heart Dao was well-informed enough, and he actually knew about the gold and silver found in Xu Hailong's warehouse.

It seems that there are still spies in the garrison who report directly to him, and the emperor is too shrewd.

After pondering for a moment, he said solemnly: "It should be used as the fund for the garrison's anti-bandit operation, as well as the settlement fee for the surrendered pirates and the first shipwrights." In addition to 100,000 taels of gold, there are also a number of other gold, silver and jewelry, although the amount is quite a lot, but once the shipyard starts, these money can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, not to mention that the soldiers of the garrison have to be paid, it is estimated that it will not take a few days, and there will be a situation of overstretching. ”

The emperor's face was relieved, Ye Yunyang did not pay attention to these treasures, which made him feel very satisfied.

He turned his head to look at the crown prince and said, "Emperor, what do you think?"

Without hesitation, the prince said: "The prince suggests that in the process of conquering and suppressing pirates, there is no need to transport the gold, silver, and money obtained back to the treasury, and directly transfer them to the various expenses of Lieyang Island; second, three million taels of silver should be transferred from the treasury as the first funds for the construction of the shipyard and warships. ”

The emperor agreed: "There is no interception of the expenditures on Lieyang Island, and even if there is a shortage of treasury reserves, it is not allowed to shorten Lieyang Island for a penny." Yun Yang, you did a very good job on this errand, not only completed the task, but also captured the princess and the three masters of the Qin State by the way,"

Ye Yunyang heard that something was wrong in the emperor's voice, wouldn't he dig a pit for me again?

Sure enough, the emperor said: "After the people of Qin learned about this, they will definitely send someone to contact them, and it is impossible for them to let their princess stay in the Han as a prisoner." This matter will be left to you, and how to mediate with the Qin people is completely up to you alone. But there is one principle to remember, that is, we big men can't suffer, do you know what I mean?"

Ye Yunyang rolled his eyes, and when he said this, he could understand that a fool could understand it, didn't he just want to take the opportunity to open his mouth with the lion of the Qin Empire and extort a sum of money.
