"Your Highness, what are you doing?!" Yang Wei's big cake face was pressed to the ground, and he desperately shouted: "The lower officials have made meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty and shed blood for the emperor!" The lower officials have no fault! ”

"Merit or merit?" As soon as Zhu Zhen stretched out his hand, Mr. Luo immediately took out the accounts of the city division from his briefcase.

Zhu Zhen took it, slammed it in front of Yang Wei, and asked in a cold voice: "There are obviously two 4,000 ships and 18 2,000 ships on the inventory account, why is this king counting and counting, there are only ten ships built in total?!" ”

As he spoke, he grabbed Yang Wei's head and yelled at his big face that had become a sesame cake: "Is it because this king doesn't know how to count, or is it because you don't have enough boats here?!" ”

"This ......" Yang Weideng sweated in his head, the sesame cake turned into a bubble cake, and he trembled: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan ......"

At this time, the sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded behind everyone, and then the shouting of the guards of the King of Chu: "What person? Hold it! ”

"One step further and no kill!" The circumferents raised their crossbows one after another, and their fingers pulled the trigger.

"Don't get me wrong, this official is Wu Liang, the governor of Jiangfang, I heard that His Royal Highness was coming to inspect, so I quickly came to visit!" The knight who was the leader was dressed in a fiery red python robe, with gray hair, a bearded face, eyes like electricity, and a voice like a bell, it was the famous Jiangyin Marquis Wu Liang!

Saying that, he turned over and dismounted, without looking at the guards with crossbows, and strode towards His Royal Highness the King of Chu.

The other party has already reported to his home, and the guards naturally can't really kill him. This Hou Ye is one of the twenty-one heroes who enjoy the incense in the temple of the Ming Dynasty, who dares to touch him?

Zhu Zhen waved his hand and asked the guards to let him go.

"Hahaha......" Wu Liang put a smug smile on his face, walked up to Zhu Zhen, clenched his fists and said roughly: "Meet Your Highness." I haven't seen you for half a year, but Your Highness has grown a lot taller. Very good, very good! ”

"Hehe......" Zhu Zhen's nose was almost crooked, but he still had to maintain the appearance of the prince, and said lightly: "Master Hou is not harmed." ”

"His Royal Highness Lao is worried, the old man is very good." Wu Liang held his beard and laughed roughly: "Your Highness ran to the old man's territory, why didn't you say hello in advance?" let the emperor know, and thought that the old man had neglected His Royal Highness. ”

"The sun is so poisonous, what are you doing with a pestle?" Then he couldn't help but say, reached out and pulled the sixth child's arm and said, "Let's go, the old man invites you to drink." ”

In fact, Wu Liang just seems to be rude, but in fact, he is as careful as a hair, otherwise he would not be able to get to this point today. He put on a vulgar look of leaning on the old and selling the old, just like the sixth child looked at Yang Wei with his navel eyes before, it was just a deliberate posture.

"This king is not yet an adult, so he can't drink." Although Zhu Zhen is fat, he is very flexible, especially good at fighting. He easily dodged the pull of the Marquis of Jiangyin, kept a distance from him, and said: "And this king was ordered by the crown prince to come to inspect, how can he be derelict in his duties?" ”

Wu Liang didn't pull it, so naturally he couldn't grab it anymore, his hand hanging in the air was very embarrassing, so he had to withdraw it and scratch his head, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Hahaha, Your Highness has really grown up, and you can share the worries of the emperor and the prince." ”

He was secretly vigilant in his heart, this sixth child was able to bring the big Suzhou family back to life at a young age, and it was really not easy.

"Hey, what's wrong with this guy?" Wu Liang asked in surprise as if he had just seen Yang Fat Man on the ground, "Why did you press the ground?" ”

Zhu Zhen glanced at his tool man, Luo Guanzhong pushed his glasses helplessly, and explained the situation briefly and concisely. “…… In short, there are twenty big ships in the account, but only half of them are in the shipyard, His Royal Highness is interrogating Yang Tiju, where did the other half go? ”

"Oh, that's the case?!" Wu Liang glanced coldly at the fat man Yang on the ground.

"This, this ......" Yang Wei swallowed and salivaed.

"I advise you to think clearly!" Before he could speak, Wu Liang said again: "Every word you say will be recorded and presented to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." It's about the life and death of your whole family......"

"......" Zhu Zhen was amused, in front of himself, he dared to threaten his subordinates so blatantly, and the Marquis of Jiangyin really didn't take the prince in his eyes.

So he didn't rush anymore, just quietly watched Yang Wei search his intestines and scrape his stomach. Listen, what reason can this guy come up with?

After a while, Yang Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his hand and whispered, "I thought of it." ”

"Say." Zhu Zhen said lightly.

"That's right, Your Highness doesn't know anything, this ship has a lifespan." Yang Wei said with a heartfelt voice:

"We have built warships, but we can't deliver them to the army, we can only be exposed to the wind and sun in the pond, and they will rot in a few years. The strength of the wooden joints gradually decreases, and the frame and timber of the boat will loosen, and finally the water will sink in. ”

"So what?" Zhu Zhen nodded.

"So, in order to avoid losses, we can only dismantle these unused warships. Then the dismantled wood, nails, and shovels are stored in storage. When the court needs it, it will be reassembled again, and it will be the same as new! After Yang Wei finished speaking, he glanced at Wu Liang, and saw that Hou Ye nodded slightly, so he was a little relieved.

"Oh, you're really thrifty." Zhu Zhen was stupid, these guys are really bold, and they think they are two hundred and five!

The battleships that have been built can still be dismantled, and they can be rebuilt after they are dismantled. Your sister, do you think this is building Lego?!

"Ah, this is also in response to the emperor's call." Jiangyin Hou laughed and said: "No way, who let us Daming have no money, we have to live like this in poverty!" ”

In fact, Wu Liang also knows that this statement may not be able to deceive the sixth child. However, he was sure that the sixth child could not refute this statement either.

Even if this little fat man is really serious, the shipyard is full of parts, it is not difficult to save a boat for him on the spot, as long as His Royal Highness the King of Chu has that patience, he can wait for a few months.

What is fearless, this is called fearlessness!

~~

"Then why are there still ten boats that have not been dismantled?" His Royal Highness the King of Chu was not angry, and continued to ask curiously.

"This is because ......" Yang Wei had completely let himself go, and immediately replied: "We must keep half of the ship in case we need it, right?" If they are all dismantled, if the imperial court wants to use the ship one day, how can it be assembled in time? So, let's keep half and tear it apart. After a few years, I will pour them down again, dismantle these ten, and then put the dismantled ones together. ”

"Haha." Zhu Zhen was finally amused, leaned down and patted Yang Wei's fat face, and asked, "Do you believe these words yourself?" ”

"Whether Your Highness believes it or not, the lower officials believe it anyway." Yang Wei said the hardest words in the most cowardly tone: "Because the facts are such facts." ”

"Do you think that this king can't demolish you?" Zhu Zhen smiled and said, "Do you know what this king is doing in Suzhou?" Those big families transferred their property, broke it into pieces, and sent it to ...... There are more flowers than you play, but none of them have escaped the palm of this king's hand! ”

"You think you can outsmart them?" As he spoke, he clapped his hands, stood up, and commanded in a deep voice: "Come on, transfer troops, take inventory, and check accounts!" ”
