Chapter 402: Fuzhou Shipyard
Xiao Chen drank it all, although it was a little hot, but after entering his throat, it instantly drove the warm current of his body.
He glanced at it, and suddenly saw Yuluo holding several letters in her hands.
"These letters are for me?"
Yuluo realized it later, and hurriedly handed the letter over: "Yuluo was confused, and almost forgot about business. ”
"The letters you sent before have now been replied to."
Xiao Chen took the letter, which were Jiangbei, Jiangnan, and Xijiang.
He hurriedly went to the courtyard and sat down, and couldn't wait to open the letter.
First of all, Jiangbei's, swept over at a glance, and said a lot of sycophants, but the result was unsatisfactory.
The letter was tossed aside, and the second one was full of excuses.
Xiao Chen didn't want to read the third letter, so he threw it directly to Yuluo: "You look at it and tell me the result." ”
After a while, Yuluo said with a little regret: "My lord, they said that they have also encountered harassment from the Dongying people recently, and they are really inseparable. ”
"Is it harassment, or is it reluctance to send troops?"
Obviously, all the damage was carried by Jiangdong, and the people of Dongying grabbed a place to gather wool, and those places could stay out of the matter.
Now that Jiangdong is in trouble, they actually choose to turn a blind eye.
Even if they don't look at the face of kindness, with the righteousness of the country, they shouldn't sit back and wait for death.
"Your Highness, it seems that you don't have a good face."
Jin Chengzhong slowly fell in front of him, looking at Xiao Chen's appearance, he knew that the answers to those letters were not satisfactory.
Xiao Chen was slightly embarrassed, "I didn't expect those people to be so timid and afraid." ”
"Actually, it's common sense, if you want to help, even if you don't say it, you will take the initiative to come. If you don't want to, even if you try your best, you still have a reason to stay out of the matter. ”
Jin Chengzhong said that Xiao Chen also fell into a deep thought.
If they don't help, then if they want to deal with the Dongying people now, thorny problems in all aspects will appear again.
Seeing his embarrassment, Jin Chengzhong also hesitated and persuaded him: "Your Highness, if this matter is slowed down, it will not be too late for us to solve the thorny problem at hand before dealing with those people." ”
Xiao Chen frowned, and immediately said unhappily: "You have to wait, when will you wait?" ”
Burning villages, women and children burned in the fires, beaches littered with corpses, and red-stained sand.
He saw every scene with his own eyes, and he still remembers it vividly.
And all of this is the work of those Dongying people!
Who can he just let go unpunished?
Xiao Chen's face was heavy, he hung his head and muttered: "If those people are not eliminated for a day, Jiangdong will never have peace, and I don't want more innocent people to die from their oppression and injury." ”
Jin Chengzhong was speechless for a while.
But suddenly Xiao Chen suddenly slapped the case and got up: "I have decided, 100,000 is 100,000, where can I not fight?" ”
"Lack of money, lack of food, lack of boats, I have these things!"
"Lao Tzu wants to let those Dongying people see the courage of our Han people, and win more with less, so that these people can be frightened and dare not harass and violate!"
It's not just about dealing with the Dongying people, but it's about making a reputation.
Xiao Chen's eyes were like torches, looking in the direction of Dongying, and this scene also shocked Jin Chengzhong.
In an instant, he showed a relieved smile, the little prince who fled with him at the beginning now has the ability to take charge on his own.
He immediately chimed in: "Since His Highness has decided, Weichen will do his best to assist you in achieving great causes!" ”
"It's just that where did we get the money, boats, and supplies......"
Xiao Chen hooked the corners of his mouth slightly: "Do you think that I have only played the role of a eunuch who has worked hard to live in the palace all these years?" ”
"From Zhou Tianfu's incident, I know what kind of character Chu Yanwu is, he is too smart to worry, and he is too stupid to look down on."
"If you follow this kind of person and do things, if you are not careful, you will be doomed, and only then will a smart person like me take the initiative to do some foolish things, so that he can stabilize his mind."
"I've been running my own business in private, just in case, and it's very wide-ranging, you've probably heard of it."
"Four Seas Chamber of Commerce!"
Hearing these four big words, Jin Chengzhong was circled: "The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was done by you?" ”
Today's Sihai Chamber of Commerce is remarkable, not only in the capital has occupied the leading place of business, but also has branches all over the country.
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back: "That's nature." ”
"The total daily profit of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce adds up, and there must be tens of thousands, even if you buy half of Da Chu, it is more than enough."
Jin Chengzhong swallowed.
He had to take a fresh look at the young and vigorous prince in front of him.
"Your Highness's precautions are really clever and admirable!"
He is in a comfortable nest, but he is still thinking about finding a way back for himself, no wonder Xiao Chen, as a eunuch, can mix well in the palace, and all walks of life are stammering one after another.
There's a basis for that!
But then again, since Xiao Chen has such a strong economic backing, why should he rely on robbing the rich to help the poor to expand the army?
As if sensing his careful thoughts, Xiao Chen touched his nose weakly: "How can I say it, the financial power in the Chamber of Commerce is not just me." ”
He wanted to mobilize so much money, but he was afraid that Concubine Jing, the money-greedy woman, would not be happy.
In addition, such a large expenditure is easy to detect.
Therefore, even if you really want money, you can't all be mobilized by the chamber of commerce in the capital, but you have to transfer it separately from the branches in various places, and finally achieve the purpose of aggregation.
"The ship's ......"
Unlike ordinary painting boats or merchant ships, a warship must be strong enough and have some defensive ability.
If it shatters with one blow, I'm afraid it will only be a self-defeating net.
"Warship."
Xiao Chen suddenly asked, "Do you know where the nearby shipyard is?" ”
Speaking of shipyards, Jin Chengzhong also knew a little about them before, and responded calmly: "There is a Fuzhou shipyard on the border of Fuzhou, which used to be a manufacturing factory exclusive to the imperial court. ”
"Okay, then we'll leave for Fuzhou Shipyard immediately!"
Jin Chengzhong hurriedly followed and persuaded him: "Your Highness, I didn't sleep all night yesterday, I was physically and mentally exhausted, and now I have to run around with my original plan, which is really inappropriate." ”
"Why don't you take a break?"
Raised eyebrows with Xiao Chen: "Are you tired?" ”
"Where is Weichen afraid of being tired, so that when he was the most difficult, he didn't dare to close his eyes for a few days and nights."
"That's right, now is also the most difficult time, even if you are sleepy, you have to endure it!"
If you don't suffer in times of crisis, when will you have to wait?
He's used to worrying about it!
Ji Hongluan and Taro Luo also accompanied him and sat in the carriage together.
Jin Chengzhong acted as a groom and went all the way to the Fuzhou shipyard.
The place was built on top of the water, surrounded on three sides by water, one of which was heavily guarded.
