It's the third watch, and on the Haizhou transshipment wharf, the torches are still shining in the sky, and the voices are boiling. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians worked together to unload ships and load trucks overnight.

In the luxury ice boat, the atmosphere is becoming more and more stagnant, in stark contrast to the hot scene outside the car.

After listening to Han Yike's report, Zhu Zhen's face was almost darker than him.

"How did you make this family?!" He rebuked Han Yike in a deep voice and said, "You are a dignified Han Yike, how can you let your own territory become as filthy as other yamen?" ”

"Yes, it's hard to escape the blame for the minister." Han Yike bowed his head in shame and said: "Over the years, I have self-examined and corrected myself every year, and I have also found some problems, but now it seems that it is still superficial." ”

"It's also my fault, I always think too well of my own people, and I think they are different from others." Zhu Zhen said indignantly: "Actually, they are all from the same country, what difference can there be?" No matter how strict I am, is my father strict? My dad can't control them, so why do I think I can? ”

"There is no need for the prince to blame himself, people are like this." Han Yike sighed and said, "Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, how many people can resist the temptation?" It's too easy to get pulled into the water. ”

"If they seek death themselves, let them die, this king doesn't care!" Zhu Zhen gambled.

"Yes, those who commit adultery deserve to be punished." Han Yike looked at Zhu Zhen as he said and begged: "But the prince can't ignore the shipping department." If Wu Yong and Mao Xiang really arrest all the people in the Maritime Affairs Division, I am afraid that the entire Maritime Administration Yamen will be implicated. ”

All his future ambitions are related to the sea. Although last autumn, after Mu Ying captured Bago, Yunnan has officially become a coastal province. Moreover, the timber of Burma's forests is the most suitable for building large ships in the world.

Han Yike's worries are reasonable, there is indeed the possibility that the old thief will take the Haizheng Yamen away from his hands in a fit of anger. Although it is unlikely, Zhu Zhen does not dare to take any risks.

"Don't let Wu Yong Maoxiang put his hand into the Haizheng Yamen, we will check ourselves." After Han Yike finished speaking, he looked at him and said, "Huh? ”

After pondering for a long time, he sighed and said, "Then what do you say?" ”

However, shipbuilding has always been an extremely complex industry, especially to build sail warships of more than 2,000 materials, which requires the cooperation of hundreds of jobs and thousands of skilled craftsmen. And it's not that you can just bring thousands of craftsmen to do it, but you also need the crafts of the whole society to reach a fairly high level in order to provide a variety of raw materials that meet the specifications.

"......" Zhu Zhen closed his eyes in annoyance, he knew that with Senior Brother Han's character, this was not threatening himself, but reminding himself of the danger of losing the Haizheng Yamen.

"You're big." Zhu Zhen said angrily: "If my eldest brother cares about this, then I am indeed a matter of one sentence." But the day before yesterday, I received a letter from him, saying that my father did not allow him to meddle in this case, nor did he allow him to intercede on anyone's behalf......"

Then he lowered his voice and said: "What if the emperor feels that the Haizheng Yamen is too unpleasant and is angry and does not let the prince take care of it, what will happen to the prince's great sailing plan?" ”

"Really?" Han Yike's face turned white when he heard this.

He can not want Guozi University, or even sea tickets, but only the Prime Minister Haizheng Yamen is something he can't give up.

Zhu Zhen estimated that he would not have 20 years, and he would like to build a treasure ship and warship on the Indochina Peninsula, so he would have to hold the Haizheng Yamen firmly in his hands for 20 years.

"yes." Zhu Zhen glanced at him and said, "So now I have to talk to the old man directly...... It doesn't hurt for my father to intercede, and it doesn't hurt to intercede for others. But for yourself, how do you let me speak? Even if I open this mouth, with my father's suspicious character, will I have to strictly investigate the Haizheng Yamen? ”

"Indeed, it is entirely possible." Han Yike nodded again and again, and rushed to the doctor and said, "Then what about talking to Mao Xiang?" ”

"Don't make up your mind here," Zhu Zhen said irritably: "Is he able to handle such a big thing?" ”

"Oops." Han Yike hurriedly shut up, he had hardly seen the prince so annoyed.

"Fuck, it's not easy to be a moral pacesetter......" Zhu Zhen scolded, leaning on the big pillow on his back.

"Let me think about it first, and you can leave this alone." After thinking about it for a while, he ordered in a deep voice: "After you go back, you will immediately carry out a comprehensive rectification, and take advantage of this incident to dig up moths and establish rules, and strive to be able to use them for a few more years." ”

"Yes!" Han Yike hurriedly responded, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He knew that when the prince said this, he was going to take care of it.

Then he took out two golden locks from his sleeves and presented them to Lao Liudao: "This is the 100th birthday gift that our two of us gave to Meng Xuan and Meng Can." I haven't had a chance to see you, but now I can send it out. ”

"What, bribe me?" Zhu Zhen said with a smile.

"If you don't want it, forget it." Han Yike retracted his sleeve with a gesture.

"Bring it to you." Zhu Zhen snatched it and scolded with a smile: "You iron rooster finally plucked two hairs, can I let you take it back?" ”

"It's three, I also gave it when Meng Xuan was born." Han Yike raised three fingers and said, "And this is not so easy to pluck three hairs, it is about to pull me bald." Let's talk about it, that's the end of it, I won't give it to you again in the future. ”

"Hahaha, don't come to this set, you are now a first-class member with a monthly salary of eighty or ninety stones, and you also have a monthly subsidy of one hundred taels of silver from the Haizheng Yamen, plus the Iwami Yinshan dry shares I gave you, isn't such a little gold a drop in the bucket?" Zhu Zhen laughed and put away the two golden locks and said:

"You have to give a few to me, and my daughter is no exception. Remember? ”

When he gets angry at someone, he actually treats the other party as his own, and if he doesn't treat the other party as his own, he won't get angry.

Obviously, Senior Brother Han is his own person among his own people......

Zhu Zhen sent Han Yike off the car, and then instructed: "Prepare to prepare, and set up the Bagu City Bosi after the year." ”

"Don't worry, the prince has been prepared for a long time." Han Yike nodded and said softly: "Our fleet is always wandering around the South Seas, and it's time to go to the Western Ocean!" ”

"Well, go ahead." Zhu Zhen bowed his head and said, "This king will escort you." ”

~~

After a busy night, at dawn the next day, all the grain was loaded into the truck.

Amid the crackling sound of firecrackers, the drivers removed the wooden wedges that stood in the way of the ice sleds, hooked the ice carts with the iron hooks on the guns, and dragged them vigorously on the icy road.

When the speed of the car gradually increased, they jumped on the back of the car and used their guns as a pen, holding the ice car to glide quickly on the ice.

One by one, the ice cars drove out of the dock, like a winding dragon, heading towards the north!
