Chapter five hundred and seventy-fifth ringworm of hands and feet (for Lan...)
Li Zheng frowned and sat on the dragon chair: "In other words, you always think that trading with Western trading countries is more important than the affairs of the Turks and the Jin Kingdom?"
"I also hope that your majesty can do it at the same time, grasp it with both hands, and be strong with both hands, but according to the current situation of the treasury, it is really too difficult!"
"How does the sea-going ship look like? How much money does it cost to supervise its construction? All these have to be recalculated. How to choose the wood for building the sea-going ship. Such a huge project will take half a year even if the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Works allocate all their efforts. The Navy
Whether the ships currently in use can sail at sea is still unknown!”
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Liu Mingzhi took out a stack of rice paper from his arms. The rice paper was exactly what Zheng He's fleet looked like when he sailed to the West.
Mr. Liu could only draw the surface, which was written down on the murals and molds in the museum and drawn with some vague data on the Internet. As for the construction data inside, he could only rely on the Ministry of Industry officials and skilled craftsmen to figure it out themselves.
Got it!
Li Zheng looked at the rice paper carefully and was a little shocked when he saw the data recorded under the treasure ship: "Fifty feet? Isn't this too big?"
It is indeed very big. The Dabao Shipyard is 151 meters tall. Even now, it is the size of a large destroyer. Now, it is almost as heavyweight as a maritime aircraft carrier.
In Liu Mingzhi's view, the fleet of ships commanded by Sanbao eunuch Zheng He is simply an ancient aircraft carrier battle group. Such a world-class aircraft carrier battle group does not go to conquer the world, but goes to promote the country's prestige. It is simply a waste of natural resources.
"Your Majesty, as long as you explore based on these data, you will definitely be able to build a fleet that is rare in the world, trade in the West, and control all nations. The West is a natural treasure house. Your Majesty, you will be right in front of you. Even if you don't take it, God will not be able to see it!"
"You think it's too simple. Have you ever thought about how the fleet communicates with the local barbarians?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry. There are thousands of ships in the fleet, tens of thousands of cruisers, and tens of thousands of fully armored dragon soldiers. Once they arrive, there is nothing that cannot be discussed, or even if it cannot be discussed, it must be discussed!"
"Sail out domineeringly?"
"Your Majesty said that the prerequisite for trade with Western countries is equality. If they are not equal, what qualifications do they have to trade with the Dragon Fleet?"
"Let me think about it!"
Liu Mingzhi sighed silently. It seemed that Li Zheng's focus was still more on the two powerful enemies of the Jin Kingdom and the Turks!
"Your Majesty, the leader of the Japanese mission is waiting outside the palace. We will know if they have any other purpose for testing."
"How to test?"
"His Majesty"
After drinking tea, Li Zheng looked at Young Master Liu in surprise: "Have these Japanese people offended you?"
"No!"
"Then are you going too far?"
"Your Majesty, I have always believed that these Japanese people did not come with good intentions. Even if they really want to surrender, they will have to be tortured!"
"Aren't you attracted to this Sakai or something?"
"Ichiko Sakai!"
"What are these names? They are neither fishy nor fishy. I wonder if you have fallen in love with Kazuko Sakai's girl. You are unable to woo her and want to take revenge on him?"
"Your Majesty, you are the conscience of heaven and earth. I am loyal and loyal to my wife. How could I do such a despicable thing!"
Li Zheng looked at Young Master Liu with slightly narrowed eyes: "Loyal and steadfast! Liu Aiqing, is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Ah? What do you want to ask about, Your Majesty?"
Li Zheng clapped his hands, and four or five imperial guards in regular uniforms and phoenix-winged hats flew down from the main hall of the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, Li Wen and Li Xuan, pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"Get flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Mingzhi felt a little nervous when he saw these imperial guards coming down, especially when he heard the names of brothers Li Wen and Li Xuan.
Liu Mingzhi already knew what the emperor meant when Qinglian fled in embarrassment after being chased by the two brothers.
Li Zheng played with the glazed tea cup in his hand: "Liu Aiqing, do you know what the crime is for harboring the traitor Bai Lian and getting married in secret?"
Liu Mingzhi suddenly remembered what Zhang Kuang had said earlier, that His Majesty has a private guard who is more frightening to all civil and military officials than the imperial guards.
The Bourne Supremacy is pervasive!
With a plop, Liu Mingzhi knelt on the ground: "I know that I am guilty, please forgive me!"
"So you admit what happened to Yu Qinglian!"
"Your Majesty clearly knows that my concubine Qinglian has been separated from the White Lotus Sect for two years and has never participated in any rebellious behavior. She has never acted out of the ordinary in my house. I will guarantee it with my life. Please know that your Majesty
crime!"
Li Zheng paced around Young Master Liu who was kneeling on the ground with his hands behind his back: "Do you think that just because the Holy Family is in full swing, you can ignore the matter of harboring bandits?"
"I must not dare to do so. Your Majesty has clearly learned from the past."
"It's a misunderstanding!"
"It was indeed a misunderstanding before, but now Qinglian is indeed my concubine, and the husband will suffer the concubine's fault. Please forgive me for the fact that I have no merit but hard work, and forgive Qinglian and the three children who are waiting to be fed.
I am willing to get rid of the beasts wearing flower-feathered clothes and reduce my title in exchange for the lives of my concubine and three children!"
"Oh, I never thought that Young Master Liu, who used to linger in brothels and never returned, is still a lover!"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for your indiscretion!"
"Liu Mingzhi!"
"I'm here!"
"The White Lotus Sect is responsible for the disaster. As a commoner in the south of the Yangtze River, we hate pain. Do you understand?"
"I understand that when I am free, I will destroy the White Lotus Sect for Your Majesty!"
"Get up!"
"I don't dare!"
"Forgive you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
"During the full-moon banquet at your home, I saw your child. He looked very rich and noble. Please control your concubine well. If you do anything wrong again, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between the king and the subject!"
"I obey the decree and will definitely restrain Qinglian and will never do anything disrespectful to His Majesty or the imperial court!"
"The locust plague in Qingzhou has reached a point that cannot be ignored. When Liu Aiqing was sent to the Kingdom of Jin, he said in the court that there was a way to control the locust plague. After handling the Japanese mission, how about Liu Aiqing going to Qingzhou?"
"I obey the decree!"
Liu Mingzhi, who originally wanted to accompany Qi Yun to give birth to the child, did not dare to raise any opinions at this moment. He could only follow Li Zheng's will, thinking that he had done it perfectly, but he never expected that everything was not hidden from Li Zheng's eyes and ears.
"Zhou Fei, draw up the decree!"
"Old slave obeys the order!"
"The locust plague in Qingzhou is related to the safety of the people and the stability of the country. There is no room for slack. Liu Mingzhi, Count of Tongyuan, was appointed as the imperial envoy to command Qingzhou Prefecture's jurisdiction over Qingzhou, Chromezhou, Shengzhou, Pizhou, Anzhou, Gongzhou, and Luzhou.
Officials and people from the eight states of Gengzhou promoted all important military and political affairs under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture. Wherever they went, it was as if the emperor was personally present. They were given Shang Fang's horse-killing sword and the imperial envoy's seal. Officials of the fourth rank and below had the right to kill first and report later."
"I obey the decree!"
"Go and call the Japanese people outside the hall in!"
"yes!"
Zhou Fei looked at Young Master Liu's back: "Your Majesty, you are harboring the traitorous Yi tribe, and Lord Liu even married him, Your Majesty!"
Li Zheng looked at the palace door with a faint smile: "White Lotus Sect, ringworm on the hands and feet is nothing to worry about, let alone a small maid holding a sword! If you don't use this as an excuse, how can this lazy Liu Ai'ai be like a dog and horse?"
It’s hard work.”
