Chapter 195 Xia Yuanji: My goal in life is just two words, make money!

"Hey...ha~hey...ha~"

"Hahaha, my little darling, when you swing your sword, you have to use force and momentum, and you have to scare the enemy in the first place, just like Grandpa... Roar!"

On the beach in Jaffna, as the morning sun just rose, the soldiers began their morning exercises.

Groups of soldiers lined up neatly, chanting slogans, and were doing running warm-up training.

On one of the beaches, two figures, one large and one small, were gesticulating with each other with wooden knives.

The old man was dressed in a smart suit, holding a wooden knife in his hand, and training the little rookie.

And this rookie was exactly the little guy opposite who couldn't walk very steadily, his head was sweating from exhaustion, and he was chopping at the old man with a wooden knife.

Not far away, under a parasol, Zhu Zhangui and his wife sat together, watching their grandfather and grandson playing around, showing a happy smile.

Rising sun, waves, beach.

Such a beautiful and harmonious scene is simply a perfect picture.

Of course, it would be more perfect if there wasn't a guy chattering around.

"Your Highness, tell me how much money we can get this time, and whether we will plant the land we get, allocate people from the country to plant it, or buy slaves to plant it."

"I don't know what happened to the mining at Yinshan. We originally discussed raising the value of the treasure notes, and I don't know what happened to the Ministry of Revenue's plan."

"Well, I had known I wouldn't be able to come over. If I were still with the court, I would probably have taken the first step of the plan by now."

“I don’t know if they spent the money sent back to the treasury indiscriminately!”

"The prince is so easy to talk to. If those old guys say something a little more serious, the prince will probably approve it!"

"Well, it's difficult for the household department. If you can't keep your money, if you don't pay attention to it, your money will be gone."

Zhu Zhangui took out his ears and looked helplessly at Xia Yuanji, who was chattering away.

"Xia Shangshu, are you very free? Have you finished the logistics?"

What Zhu Zhangui means is that if you have something to do, go get it done quickly and don't chatter here.

Xia Yuanji raised his head and smiled confidently.

"Your Highness, you are looking down on me. We have so many things in the Ming Dynasty, but I can easily do them in an orderly manner. There are only more than 100,000 people and I have to be busy non-stop, so I, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, don't have to do it.

Well, let’s just go home and raise fish and plant trees.”

Zhu Zhangui was speechless.

What Xia Yuanji said made him speechless.

Yes, Xia Yuanji handled so many things during the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner, without any fuss or mistakes.

The logistics management of hundreds of thousands of people is really nothing to Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs who often handles national government affairs.

Seeing that Zhu Zhangui didn't speak, Xia Yuanji started nagging again.

"If I had known that I would go with Xueshi Yang, he is a very easy-to-talk person, and he is also benevolent and righteous. If the other party were to act pitiful, he might not be able to explain those conditions."

"Hey, it's been a little over half a month. He should have a letter from his side, and he won't be chopped off by the other party in anger."

What Zhu Zhangui heard was a black thread.

He finally understood why the old man had driven him and Yang Pu to another ship when they arrived.

No one can stand this nagging nonsense.

Xia Yuanji is very capable of doing things, but his ability to talk non-stop is also annoying.

Most people really can't stand his endless chatter to himself.

Noticing her husband's stiff expression, Zhao Ling'er covered her mouth and chuckled, stood up, brought a cup of tea, and handed it to Xia Yuanji.

"Xia Shangshu, it's cold, drink some tea and warm yourself up."

"Thank you, Concubine Taisun. I happen to be thirsty!"

Xia Yuanji stood up and thanked him, took the tea cup, took a few sips, moistened his throat and started chattering again.

"This place is quite nice. The temperature is suitable all year round. No wonder it has three crops a year!"

"When I get old, I will come here to take care of myself. The temperature here is suitable. If I take care of myself here, I might be able to live a few more years."

"Actually, the prince should also come here and recuperate here more. Maybe his health will get better."

"I swim in the sea every day, fish and cultivate my health, and run along the beach every day. I estimate that my health will be better in less than two years!"

"Oh, no, it seems that the prince doesn't know how to swim. In fact, it's not difficult. You can get good at it if you just learn. I was the one..."

Zhu Zhangui glanced at Zhao Ling'er helplessly.

You said, why did you give him tea? He said that his mouth was dry, so why didn't he stop talking?

Now I feel better. After drinking a few sips of tea, I feel refreshed and start nagging again.

"Haha, what are you talking about? So happy."

Just when Zhu Zhangui was thinking about finding a reason to hide, the old man came over with the sweaty little guy.

Zhao Ling'er quickly stood up, handed a towel to the old man, and then carefully wiped his son's sweat.

Zhu Zhangui spread his hands helplessly.

"I don't know if I'm happy or not. Anyway, Xia Shangshu said he was quite happy!"

The old man drinking tea glanced at Xia Yuanji, who was disapproving next to him, and gave Zhu Zhangui an empathetic expression.

"Your Majesty, Yang Shangshu has been here for so long. Could it be that they haven't reached an agreement? How about we fight a few games first to give them a little deterrence?"

When the old man came over, Xia Yuanji immediately changed the target of his conversation.

The old man handed the tea cup to his grandson's wife, picked up a fruit on the table, and said to Xia Yuanji while feeding his little grandson.

"Don't worry, this rice is already simmering in the pot, and it will be what we eat morning and night!"

"Besides, no one may be able to agree to the conditions we have proposed. Even if we agree, we will probably have to discuss them one by one. If it doesn't take 10 days or months, we probably won't be able to come up with a result."

"Wait slowly, but your suggestion is not bad. Let Zhang Fu take the team out for a walk tomorrow to put some pressure on the other side."

Xia Yuanji thought about it too.

If this kind of thing were left to the Ming Dynasty, there would be no solution for half a year.

But then again, whoever dares to ask Daming such a condition is living impatiently.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Suddenly a horn sounded on the sea, and the soldiers who were doing morning exercises suddenly stopped and prepared for emergency battle.

"On your own, continue training."

Soon a signal came from the observation post, and the soldiers training on the beach continued to train.

"Your Majesty, Master Yang is back!"

Soon, the observation post came over to report what they had just discovered.

"Haha, this means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here. It seems that he has achieved results."

"Come on, let's go over and see if it's a draw or a fight!"

After feeding the last piece of fruit pulp in his hand to the little great-grandson's mouth, the old man picked up the little guy and called Zhu Zhangui and Xia Yuanji to greet Yang Pu.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Grand Sun, I am back!"

The ship docked, and Yang Pu stepped out of the warship in high spirits.

Noticing Yang Pu's expression, the old man and Zhu Zhangui looked at each other with smiles on their faces.

"It seems like you gained a lot this time!"

The old man was in a very good mood and joked.

"Thank you for your hard work, Bachelor Yang!"

Zhu Zhangui also raised his hand and said thank you for your hard work.

"Hahaha, Your Highness Taisun is so polite. Serving the country is so hard!"

Then he said happily to the old man: "Your Majesty is wise. I can succeed this time only because of the Emperor's dragon power. His Highness Taisun has given you good guidance. I have the powerful Ming Dynasty as my backing. If I fail this time, I will not succeed."

Then how can you have the face to meet the emperor, His Highness Taisun and the people of Ming Dynasty?"

"Hahaha, okay... let's go back and talk to me carefully!"

The old man laughed heartily and called everyone to the conference hall for discussion.

Xia Yuanji, who had been waiting for a long time, saw that it would take a while before he saw the way to the conference hall. He was a little impatient and stretched out his hand to pull Yang Pu with a smile on his face.

"Brother Yang, how much did you get this time?"

"How much does it cost?"

Yang Pu gave him a confused look.
