Looking at Luo Sigong with a slight frown, Emperor Tianqi was a little confused. Luo Sigong was the commander of the Jinyi Guards. How could he do civil service now? This time, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty knew about Emperor Tianqi's anger. Although they knew that it was inappropriate to do so,

But no one dared to say anything.

Looking at Luo Sigong, Emperor Tianqi also knew that Luo Sigong was not a fussy person. He must have his reasons for saying this. Nodding, Emperor Tianqi Chen Sheng said: "Tell me your reasons!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! Huang Taiji is just a son of Nurhachi. Even if he really runs away, it has nothing to do with the overall situation!" Seeing Emperor Tianqi's face darken, Luo Sigong quickly changed the subject and said: "This time the White Lotus Sect is in the capital.

If you do something so outrageous, you must get to the bottom of it, otherwise the imperial court’s face will be lost!”

Looking up at Emperor Tianqi, Luo Sigong breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Emperor Tianqi's face looked better. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and did not continue talking.

Emperor Tianqi kept thinking, had he really made a fuss out of a molehill? Huang Taiji laid the foundation for Later Jin Dynasty and adjusted Later Jin Dynasty's strategy for the Ming Dynasty. This person was very important.

After glancing at Luo Sigong, Emperor Tianqi picked up the tea bowl on one side and said, "Go on!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! It is very necessary to seize Huang Taiji and wipe out the White Lotus Sect rebels. However, I feel that we cannot mobilize troops and mobilize people in this way. Nowadays, people in the capital are panicked and many businesses have gone out of business. People dare not take to the streets.

, people from the yamen are on the street all day long

Shaking, doing this will only show that the court is making a fuss. If a small Huang Taiji and a group of White Lotus sect rebels make people think that the court is panicking, it will really cost more than the gain!" Luo Sigong raised his heart and said all the words in his mind.

, touch the ground with your head!

Holding the tea cup, Emperor Tianqi sat there quietly. He had read many remonstrances and memorials from civil servants. Many times, because of his status as a time traveler, he dismissed those things and did not take them seriously.

Now that I think about it, maybe I was wrong. I am just a twentieth-century college student with no special talents. I just know a little about history and take everything to heart. Thinking of this, Emperor Tianqi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Sooner or later something will happen if you go down there!

Staring at Luo Sigong, Emperor Tianqi had gratitude in his eyes. He must clearly realize that he is no longer a time traveler. He is the emperor and the master of this country, and he must consider issues from the perspective of an emperor.

Putting the teacup aside, Emperor Tianqi smiled lightly and said softly: "Luo Aiqing, wake up!"

He breathed a huge sigh of relief. Just now, Luo Sigong was really afraid that Emperor Tianqi would get angry. He was so scared in his heart. But after standing aside, Luo Sigong suddenly felt that Emperor Tianqi seemed to have changed.

Luo Sigong was asked to explain how Emperor Tianqi had changed. Luo Sigong couldn't tell, but he just felt that Emperor Tianqi was different. If he had to say it, Emperor Tianqi seemed to be more like an emperor. But Luo Sigong found it a bit ridiculous.

"What Luo Aiqing said makes sense. I will let the cabinet draft the decree later. Let this matter be settled like this! I will hand over the arrest of Huang Taiji and the extermination of the White Lotus Sect rebels to Aiqing. I will not interfere!

If Aiqing has any idea, just let it go!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Luo Sigong with a smile, nodded, and said.

"I must do my best to live up to His Majesty's hopes!" Luo Sigong quickly knelt down and said in an unusually firm tone.

After waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said casually: "It's nothing, please step aside, my dear!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I am retiring!" Luo Sigong said in a respectful tone after bowing to Emperor Tianqi.

Looking at Luo Sigong's leaving figure, Emperor Tianqi's eyes suddenly became firm. He was already powerful, so why should he care about Huang Taiji? Turning his head to look at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "My inner treasury is still there.

How many taels of silver do you have?"

Slightly startled, Wang Chengen looked hesitant, and his mouth was full of bitterness. Every time Emperor Tianqi asked questions like this, he must spend money. Although he was tangled in his heart, this matter was not something he could decide, and he quickly said: "Go back to the emperor."

, there are still nine million taels of silver in the inner treasury!”

This time it was Emperor Tianqi's turn to be stunned. This was really a waste of money. He frowned and asked Wang Chengen: "Why did you spend so much?"

"Going back to the emperor, we spent a lot of money on the expenses of the firearms factory, military pay and official salaries in various places. In addition, the silver taels raised by Master Zuo Guangdou to repair the river cost a total of two million taels!" Wang Chengen frowned,

He looked at Emperor Tianqi carefully.

After waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said helplessly: "Shouldn't military pay and official salaries be paid out of the national treasury? Why should they be paid out of the internal treasury now?"

"Back to the Emperor, the money from the national treasury has made up for last year's deficit. The amount of silver saved is only one million taels, and almost all of it has been spent long ago. Now the national treasury is already empty, and all the expenses during this period are from the internal treasury.

Money!" Wang Chengen was also very helpless. What should he do if all the money in the inner treasury was spent? I hope Jiangnan can get more money back this time!

He shook his head helplessly. Emperor Tianqi felt extremely unbalanced in his heart. It seemed that he still had to find a way to get money. Looking at Wang Chengen, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Okay, don't look sad, go and get Xu Guangqi."

I’m here to find you!”

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu has already submitted a memorial this morning. Today he will take General Qi and General Yu to see the warships!" When Wang Chengen heard about Xu Guangqi, his expression suddenly changed. This Mr. Xu can really spend money!

Nodding, Emperor Tianqi breathed a sigh of relief, with excitement in his heart. When his navy is completed, he will really have a lot of money! Then he will not have to worry about money all day long, he can do everything he can.

There are so many things!

While Emperor Tianqi was dreaming in the palace, there was great excitement in the shipyard. Qi Jin and Yu Zigao were walking on the battleship with excited faces. As they walked, Qi Jin stroked the cannons he put on.

Since arriving in the capital, Qi Jin has known about the firearms factory where the imperial court built new artillery. He once wanted to go in and have a look, but was rejected. Now seeing such artillery, Qi Jin was naturally very excited. Like his uncle Qi Jiguang, Qi Jin

Has an instinctive obsession with firearms!

"This warship is really great. If there were such a warship back then, the Japanese pirates would not care about it!" Yu Zigao kept looking at the warship, his face was full of excitement, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad about his father's experience.

After patting Yu Zigao, Qi Jin shook his head cautiously. There are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be said!

"Master Xu, this warship is naturally very good, but the price is not cheap, right?" Qi Jin looked at Xu Guangqi walking in front and asked with a little anxiety. He has trained 30,000 navy, if there are only ten ships

With twenty warships, I'm afraid this navy still won't have time to build up.

Looking at Qi Jin with a smile, Xu Guangqi had a favorable impression of both Qi Jiguang and Qi Jin. He nodded and said, "That's natural. This warship is naturally not cheap. It costs 300,000 taels of silver each!"

Although I thought it would be expensive, I didn't expect it to be so expensive. Three hundred thousand taels? Ten ships are three million taels? He smiled bitterly and shook his head. I'm afraid his dream of being a navy was going to be shattered!

Seeing Qi Jin's disappointed look, Xu Guangqi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The emperor has issued an imperial edict. The first batch of warships is expected to be fifty such warships, and the remaining ships will need thirty.

There are eighty ships in total. There is another one that is even larger than this kind of ship and is equipped with one hundred and twenty artillery pieces. It is also planned!"

Standing there in a daze, Qi Jin almost bit his tongue. He swallowed hard and said, "Sir, are you serious about this?" Fifty warships of this kind cost fifteen million taels.

, there are twenty larger warships, plus the rest of the ships, the cost will probably be around 30 million taels. Where can the imperial court have so much money?

After glaring at Qi Jin, Xu Guangqi said with some unhappiness on his face: "General Qi, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense! This is something the emperor has assigned. All prototype ships will be built before the end of this year. Next year

At the beginning of spring, the Emperor will issue an order to mobilize shipbuilding craftsmen from all over the country and strive to launch all warships within three years!"

"My lord, forgive me, Qi Jin is really excited! Don't blame me if you don't use your words!" Qi Jin also knew that he had made a mistake. Xu Guangqi, a dignified cabinet scholar, would naturally not tell lies. Besides, it was the imperial edict of Emperor Tianqi.

No matter how brave Xu Guangqi was, he wouldn't dare to falsely preach the imperial edict!

Nodding, Xu Guangqi said in a deep voice: "General Qi, why didn't Lord Shen Yourong come?" The current naval commander is Shen Yourong. Qi Jin and Yu Zigao are just Shen Yourong's deputies. Xu Guangqi must ask if Shen Yourong doesn't come.

.

"Back to your lord, General Shen fell ill half a month ago. He is still lying in bed now. He really has no way to come. Don't blame me!" Qi Jin had a look of helplessness on his face. Shen Yourong is not young anymore, so he doesn't know if he can do it.

I can bear the bump of wearing it.

Xu Guangqi nodded, did not speak, and continued to move forward with the two people! This prototype ship will then need to be handed over to Qi Jiguang and Yu Zigao for use. If there are no problems, the final drawings can be finalized!

Seeing that Yu Zigao on the side was a little absent-minded, Qi Jin bumped into him and asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking about?"

"General Qi, do you know who my father's master is?" Yu Zigao looked at Qi Jin with a bit of hesitation on his face and frowned.

"Of course I know this. General Yu studied under the master Li Liangqin of Southern Shaolin. I have heard about this before. Li Liangqin is a master in the world, and his original Zhang Er stick technique is unrivaled in the world." Qi Jin nodded, with a heavy expression on his face.

Qi Jiguang had great admiration for Li Liangqin back then!
