Seeing that the two were still a little hesitant, Emperor Qianwu spoke.

"Okay, you don't have to be awkward, since Changfeng wants to give it, you just keep it."

Feng Quji and Ye Qingcang had no choice but to bow down and thank them.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

"Then the old minister is disrespectful."

Li Changfeng said with a smile: "Don't forget to pay taxes, this prince does not include taxes." ”

The two of them laughed, their eyes full of gratitude and joy.

They secretly made up their minds that they would do a good job for Li Changfeng in the future.

Emperor Qianwu nodded with satisfaction, and Li Changfeng was very happy to receive the support of the two important ministers of the court.

He changed his words and said: "Okay, let's talk about this real-life sand table, this is much more intuitive than the map, and it is very useful for arranging troops, what does General Ye think?" ”

When it came to business, Ye Qingcang's expression became solemn: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the real-life sand table is indeed more intuitive, and it can definitely play a very important role in commanding operations, and the old minister feels that it can be promoted in the whole army......"

Next, several people began to discuss the matter.

When Emperor Qianwu left, all the 300 houses in the first phase were sold out, with a total of 8.37 million taels sold.

Even Li Changfeng was a little emotional.

Sold so much silver in half a day, no wonder those real estate developers in the previous life were so rich, and the speed of money was too fast.

Li Changfeng rewarded everyone in the tooth shop, ordered the preparation of the second phase of the project, and then returned home happily.

As soon as I returned home, I met the spring mud.

Li Changfeng was a little surprised: "Why did you come back so soon?" ”

Three days ago, Chunni heard that the hydropower station had started, and he was very curious about how the water was generated, so he went to check it alone.

Li Changfeng persuaded her to come at the time, saying that it was not interesting to go to see it now, and she would go when it was finished.

Chunni didn't listen, so he didn't persuade much.

At this time, Chunni looked disappointed: "I came back with nothing to look at." ”

Li Changfeng smiled: "On such a hot day, how good is it to stay in the capital?" Later, I will send someone to the nearby river pond to touch some screws, and in the evening, the prince himself cooks a spicy screw, and orders crayfish barbecue on the hour, and it is so refreshing to have beer. ”

Chunni's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Good!"

When I first came to the capital, Chunni liked Diandude, Beer Barbecue City and Hudi Hot Pot very much, and felt that this was the best food in the world.

After she lived in Li Changfeng's mansion for a while, she found that the chefs there were not even a little worse than Li Changfeng's cooking.

Li Changfeng can come up with new tricks from time to time, so delicious that she can bite her tongue.

That night, Li Changfeng had a big meal with Chunni, Bingbing and Xiaotong.

He was in a good mood, drank a lot of beer, slept until three o'clock the next day, and when he was washing, Bingbing told him that someone from the shipyard had come and had been waiting all morning.

Li Changfeng hurriedly washed his face and went to see the visitor, it turned out to be the second batch of improved versions, and the larger, faster and stronger ironclad warships had been repaired.

There are a total of six ships in this batch.

Li Changfeng was overjoyed, rewarded the visitors, and then went straight to the palace.

Emperor Qianwu saw him and joked: "It's really rare, I just met yesterday, and today I came to see me again?" ”

Li Changfeng paid more than 2 million taels of silver to the household department when he bought the land, and yesterday 300 houses were sold out, and the deed tax of several hundred thousand taels of silver was added to the household department.

Seeing that the treasury is getting richer and richer, Emperor Qianwu's mood is getting better and better, and he has not been so wealthy since he founded the country.

Li Changfeng smiled: "Is that not it? The son made a special trip to see your father, and by the way, I asked you for someone. ”

"Stinky boy, I know that you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." Emperor Qianwu scolded with a smile and asked, "Who do you want?" ”

"Zhou Jianbo."

"Zhou Jianbo......" Emperor Qianwu thought for a moment and said, "I remember, the general of the South China Sea border guard, all these years have been without merit and no fault, and he is a mediocre person." ”

"That's right, that's exactly what Erchen wants."

"This person is not talented, why does Changfeng want him?" Emperor Qianwu wondered.

Li Changfeng shook his head: "Father, this person still has some talents, there is no war in the South China Sea, he just has no chance to play." In the future, Daqian will establish a navy, and his sons will recommend him to be the commander of the navy. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Qianwu was surprised and said, "That's what I have to do, what's the use of you wanting this person?" ”

Li Changfeng smiled slightly and said, "Father, the second batch of larger and stronger ironclad warships has been built. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Qianwu's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean you're going to start ocean trade?" ”

After Benjamin came to Daqian for the first time, Li Changfeng mentioned such an idea to him, but later it was shelved because he was constrained by Daqian's shipbuilding technology.

Later, five ironclad warships were launched, but Li Changfeng did not implement this matter considering that the number was too small.

During this period, Benjamin came to Daqian for the second time, and brought a large amount of tax revenue to the treasury, and Emperor Qianwu had long been worried about this piece of fat and had been waiting for Li Changfeng to carry out ocean trade.

Li Changfeng nodded: "That's right, when Erchen drove an ironclad warship to the Japanese to ask for accounts, he took Zhou Jianbo with him, and found that this person was quite talented and familiar with naval warfare, so he wanted him to lead the fleet to carry out ocean trade, which can be regarded as accumulating experience, and it will be of great use in the future." ”

Emperor Qianwu was very satisfied with what Li Changfeng said, and praised: "Very good, you already know how to plan for the future, I am very pleased, I am sure that this matter is accurate!" ”

After speaking, he looked at Gao Dali: "Immediately draft an order, let Deputy General Zhou Jianbo take over the position, and Zhou Jianbo will return to Beijing immediately." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"By the way, father, you should also bring some artillery, muskets and grenades, pirates are rampant on the sea, and many countries may be pirates themselves."

"Exactly! You can see how much you need, and I will give you the power. ”

……

Nine days later, Li Changfeng met with Zhou Jianbo in the living room of the mansion.

"You won't be resentful if this prince asked your father to remove your position and let you engage in ocean trade, right?"

Zhou Jianbo said respectfully: "Your Highness's cultivation grace, it's too late for small gratitude, how can you be resentful?" ”

After returning to Beijing, he went to see Emperor Qianwu for the first time.

Emperor Qianwu praised him and affirmed his talent. Although he did not say it explicitly, there was a lot of meaning in his words, and he also mentioned the future navy.

He naturally understands the deep meaning.

Emperor Qianwu did not shy away from it, saying that it was recommended by Li Changfeng, and Zhou Jianbo could be said to be grateful to Li Changfeng.

After a trip to the ocean trade, he has accumulated more maritime experience, and in the future, who is qualified to compete with him when he establishes a navy?

Li Changfeng nodded with satisfaction: "There are a total of eleven ironclad warships, you take nine of them, and this prince will equip you with artillery, muskets, and grenades." ”

Zhou Jianbo was overjoyed: "That's great, with this weapon to kill the enemy, Your Highness, your fleet will definitely run rampant all over the world!" ”

Next, Li Changfeng gave another careful advice.
