Seeing that the wood was already in the boat, Zhu Biao had no choice but to accept the holy decree.

It's just that on the way out of the Imperial Study.

Zhu Biao still couldn't help complaining about Zhu Zhang.

"If you want to command the Governor's Mansion to play prestige, you can ask your father and emperor to form a pro-army."

"Why do you want to push the eldest brother into the muddy waters of the Governor's Mansion."

Zhu Fan knew what the eldest brother was worried about.

smiled and said with relief: "Big brother, although the secret agent case has no clue, it is very simple to do it. ”

"As long as the junior brother asks Mr. Lin for advice, he will definitely be able to solve this matter easily."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he shook his head and said, "The case of the Northern Yuan secret agent is just a trivial matter. ”

"The most concerned issue for my father is whether he can start a war with the Northern Yuan and the Japanese slaves at the same time."

"And if I can't find out how many traitors have betrayed my Ming intelligence, maybe my father will let me make meritorious service and solve the problem of military spending."

Zhu Biao felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's desire for war had never stopped.

It seems that he is thinking that in his lifetime, all the existences that can threaten the Ming Dynasty will be eliminated.

Then the cubs went overseas to open up a large territory for the Ming Dynasty.

Although Zhu Biao understands his old father's thoughts.

But the meal always has to be eaten one bite at a time.

Even if the starting point of the war is good, if it is too aggressive.

The final outcome of the Ming Dynasty will become Qin Sui's second if it is not done well.

Zhu Fan didn't care about this, and said, "Big brother, you're thinking about the wrong point." ”

"The matter of military spending, let me ask Mr. Lin for you, can it be solved?"

Hear the words.

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, and a determined look flashed in his eyes.

"In that case, this case must be investigated."

"But three days is too short to catch all the traitors who betrayed the intelligence of the Ming Dynasty."

"After the Northern Yuan spy speaks, you persuade my father to extend the time for me to use the Duwei Mansion to investigate the case."

Seeing Zhu Biao, he finally made up his mind under his persuasion.

Zhu Fan nodded again and again and responded to the matter.

Zhu Biao showed a little hesitation again: "Second brother, do you say that Mr. Lin really has a way to conjure up the military expenses of the Japanese Kingdom and the Northern Yuan?" ”

"You know, the way he proposed to make money requires a certain amount of investment, and it also requires a return cycle."

"If he can't solve the matter of military spending, I'm afraid my father will blame me."

Zhu Zhang, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, heard the eldest brother's worry.

I didn't mean to answer at all, and after a roll of my eyes, I left alone.

……

Following.

Morning.

Zhu Yuanzhang accepted the ministers to bow down.

I routinely inquired about the progress of the preparation for major events such as the city ship division and the shipyard.

What was unexpected was the location of the city department and the transfer of officials.

It all went very smoothly and there were no obstacles at all.

However, Liang Xu, who was in charge of shipbuilding, said with a frown: "The minister is ashamed of His Majesty's trust, and he also asks His Majesty to surrender." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang did not wrinkle slightly.

He is most annoyed that this kind of work is not to talk about the problem first.

On the contrary, it is high to ask for sin of retreating as advance.

The routine of trying to get yourself to forgive their sins first.

For the sake of Liang Xu's old minister, Zhu Yuanzhang endured it and did not get angry, and said: "Liang Aiqing, there are a lot of things to do in shipbuilding, and it is normal for problems to occur. ”

"As long as it's not a dead man's event, I can forgive you from sin."

Liang Xu seemed to be waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Hurriedly continued: "Your Majesty, it is not the shipyard that has the problem, but the sailors who are trying the sea"

"Trial sailor?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liang Xu in puzzlement, and asked patiently: "But they bullied the shipbuilders and disrupted the order of the shipyard?" ”

If it is these coastal guards, Liang Xu is indeed not easy to manage as a civilian official.

"Your Majesty, those guards are all discipline-abiding people."

"It's just that they are very good at boating, and they don't know hydrology."

"Yesterday in the old shipyard, a freshly repaired battleship was directly crashed into the reef by them during sea trials.

Liang Xu gave an unexpected, but reasonable, answer.

Because a few years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang was fooled into abolishing shipping.

So much so that on the bright side, there was no more established sailors who were familiar with hydrology and were good at driving ships.

This time, Hu Yunqiang sent an advance army to the Japanese Kingdom, and he looted all the sailors controlled by the Ming Dynasty.

The rest, those who have experience in boating, are basically on the fleet of coastal smugglers.

These half-merchant, half-pirate people.

It is impossible to give up the opportunity to make a lot of money and become a ha guard.

At most, there are fishermen who brave the ban and go out to sea to fish.

So much so that the taxes in the trial camp set up by the imperial court were almost half a bottle of landlubbers.

Where the hydrological conditions are good, you can also pretend to be on a boat.

But if you encounter a place full of reefs, you will only end up with a shipwreck.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to be angry, and the sailor was incompetent.

But thinking of these people, they were also driven to the shelves.

The one who caused him to lose this battleship was actually someone else.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Pass on my order, sailors who died because of sea trials, and the bereavement is doubled." ”

"The minister must send the money to the families of those soldiers."

Liang Xu saw that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't blame him, so he hurriedly took over the will.

Then he asked: "Your Majesty, will you only build ships in the future, and stop the sea trials for the time being?" ”

"Wait until General Hu returns, and then send people to test those excellent sailors?"

This time, it was an old ship that ran aground.

It belongs to the ship which finds a feeling for the shipbuilders and meets the shipbuilding craft.

itself is on the verge of obsolescence.

But if it is a treasure ship newly launched for Ali, it will be given to Huo Huo by the guards.

At that time, no matter how generous Zhu Yuanzhang is, Liang Xu will inevitably be demoted.

If he didn't give these Qiu Ba the blame within the time limit, he simply planned to cancel the trial voyage.

"If a warship is not trial, how can we know if there is a problem with its construction?"

"If it is not repaired for a long time, the warship can only be used as a fishing boat."

Zhu Yuanzhang directly rejected Liang Xu's proposal.

He had participated in the water battle of Poyang Lake and had some knowledge of warships, and sea trials were the final hurdle in the inspection and repair of ships.

If the ship's problems are not solved in time, then the battleship treasure ship that has been built with a huge amount of money can only be soaked in the harbor and grow barnacles.

Zhu Yuanzhang would never allow the silver in his inner treasury to be wasted like this.

He pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Issue a bounty order in the army, and recruit generals who have the ability to command ships." ”

"At the same time, among the coastal fishermen, Zhang Bang summoned sailors, and the moon rang according to the elite army."

The elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are paid silver, which is actually very rich.

If a weak country does not have a deduction from the officials, it can be paid in full.

If you are feeding your family, you still have a surplus.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, he gave such lucrative conditions, and coastal fishermen would surely rush to join the trial as sailors.
