Chapter 273 Demolition of the house
The vast Changsheng Bay is showing a rare magnificent scenery in the world.
There are countless warships and merchant ships docking in the bay. The ships are docked in patches on the sea. Apart from some dangerous areas with reefs along the coast, the ships are endlessly arranged in the distance, and even the lookouts on the harbor whistle can't reach the end.
There are countless small paddle boats coming and going on the sea, constantly transporting loading and unloading various supplies. Whenever it is time to start cooking, smoke will rise from the ships, which is dazzling.
"Forty-six warships of all sizes and large and small ports were moored by Changsheng Port, and two hundred and seventy-three civil ships were moored; twenty-two warships were parked at the small bay, and seventy-three civil ships were placed."
Zou Yuanbiao was sweating heavily when he was sunburned. Like Fei Laoer, his forehead was also indescribable. For this reason, he was reluctant to use a net-shot scarf. The biggest secret deep in his heart was hidden under the black thick cloth scarf. He bowed to Chen Mu at the port yamen and said, "It's not counting the small boat below 200 materials. Prince Ailan dared not train troops, for fear of firecrackers that scare the warships."
Chen Mu held a thick stack of reports in his hand with the third phase of Beiyang. He watched the people from the shore hand over the documents to their personal soldiers. He narrowed his eyes and muttered. Obviously, his mind was not here, and he said casually: "What else can disturb the fleet at his own sea?"
He was looking at the people coming down from the fleet. The person in charge looked familiar. When he got closer, he made him laugh out loud. He quickly walked towards him and was Bai Yuanjie.
Looking behind him, Zhang Yongshou followed. The two led several officers from the third period of Beiyang, followed by Hai Rui, an old man with his head held high and his chest and extraordinary temperament. Backwards, Zhang Jing, the emperor's confidant, led the eunuchs and several great Han generals wearing armor and sunny clothes.
All acquaintances and a grand lineup.
Zou Yuanbiao was also happy when he saw Zhang Jing. He thought that he had bribed Zhang Jing back then, thinking that he would save himself from a violent beating after impeachment of Zhang Juzheng.
"His Majesty sent his brother?"
Bai Yuanjie smiled and led the officers to stand firmly between a distance, but she waved her hands lightly at her waist and then pointed at Zhang Jing without making a sound.
Chen Mu saw that Zhang Jing was holding the edict in his hand.
After following Lin Afeng to make waves on the sea, Zhang Jing had seen eunuchs who had seen the world. Moreover, he had met Chen Mu in his early years. He came over and raised his edict and said, "My Lord Jinghai is ready to accept the edict. Your Majesty has an edict."
With the edict in front of him, Chen Mu naturally did not dare to neglect him.
It’s true that I miss you very much after not seeing the little emperor for several years.
"The emperor's edict is carried out by heaven... the emperor said." Zhang Jing, who was reading the order, suddenly had a strange expression. He looked a little slight and wanted to laugh, but he still had to hold it in a hard way. Then he said a word that was not the same as the reader. His posture of using a pose makes people know that this was not what he said: "For several years of war, Chen Qing was not as smart and wise as me, humble and studious, and had no time to learn diligently, and the old rules."
It's in public, Your Majesty.
Jing Haibo, the Ming Empire, raised his hand to wipe his face in public, sighed softly, and then continued to bow.
Where can there be such an emperor who doesn’t praise his subordinates in the edict, but actually praises himself?
Bai Yuanjie and Zhang Yongshou looked at each other, and both of them couldn't help laughing. Moreover... Bai Yuanjie was very envious. This was not an edict, but it was more like a private message.
"I have practiced the Four Guards Flag Army at home. Before I experienced the war, I will lend you two guards to drive back in two years. I can use them for great use. You are already known to the world and I plan to reward you with tens of thousands of taels of silver, but the Huode Star Lord has changed and changed. If your family needs to spend money, I will not reward you."
"I haven't seen you in the past two years. I miss you very much. Songjiang has been cleared and you have the goods you want. You have also sent you new warships and new weapons."
Zhang Jing paused and closed the imperial edict and said, "The emperor said that he would wait for the lord to thank the emperor for rewarding the silver and then continue reading."
Well, the little emperor is now developing more and more towards Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu. The imperial edict is well said in vernacular, and I don’t even need me.
But what happened to this reward of ten thousand taels of silver?
I plan to reward you, but because I can’t change anything, I won’t reward you anymore, and I have to thank you if I don’t reward you anymore?
As for the fact that His Majesty misses Chen only so much?
Someone has laughed out loud.
There was no way, Chen Muxian thanked him before then asked Zhang Jing: "What is the fire deed star king changing, what is it?"
"If you want to go back to the Lord, Huode Xingjun is the mount of the emperor's grandfather. It was already enough for the emperor to walk in the palace, but now the palace maid is pregnant. Your Majesty wants to take the palace maid and ride it, but he can't move anymore. He asked the Ministry of Works to transform the mount and increase its strength."
Zou Yuanbiao, who was welcoming the officials, whispered to the officials on both sides: "Hey, it's amazing, the Ministry of Works can still compete with the horse!"
Chen Mu glanced back at him, understood in his heart, and asked Zhang Jing, "Steam a car?"
"Yes, the steam car, named Huode Xingjun, is walking slowly but very smoothly... Sir, don't worry, how many months will we stay in Changsheng? There is still time to talk about domestic affairs later. Let's complete the process of His Majesty's villain first. What do you think?"
Chen Mu wanted to finish the process quickly than Zhang Jing. He could feel that the little emperor was too lonely in the Forbidden City. Perhaps no one could communicate with him like a normal person after he left. He would even send an edict to trouble himself even if he traveled 20,000 miles across the ocean.
But he still underestimated how naughty the emperor was about to become an adult. Zhang Jing's next words scared him to his heart.
"Thank you for your kindness? You have made great contributions to the country's territory and opened up territory. I originally wanted to give you some rewards, but after spending the money, the Ministry of Revenue would not give you any more. I wanted to promote you to the marquis, but the cabinet did not agree, so I did not sign it. I heard that Mr. Ziwen of the Sushi strongly opposed it. If you are unhappy, I will issue an order to enter the cabinet and argue."
In fact, Chen Mu was a little happy to hear this. Zhang Han was the second assistant to the cabinet.
As for quarrels, it is impossible. If you don’t have a title of marquis, you won’t have a title of marquis. Besides, he thinks that he has the same idea as Zhang Han. Even if he wants to be a title of marquis, he still wants him to be a title of marquis when he is in China. It may not be a good thing for people to be a title of marquis overseas.
"But I must clearly reward and punish you for making great contributions. I think your garden in Nanyang Vilhang Port has been well built, so I have demolished it. Anyway, there is nothing inside, so it is meaningless to keep it. There is also your house outside Donghua Gate, I will buy it and not let you live there."
Chen Mu:???
What does it mean that there is nothing inside? It was obvious that several years ago, you sent someone to sneak and roll things up next to your bedroom without saying a word. Even my out-of-print bird gun from Jiajing forty-six years was taken away!
I'm at a house as big as Nanyang Vilary Port, huh?
Chen Mu looked at Bai Yuanjie. The house was built by Bai Yuanjie. At that time, it was a piece of wild land. It was about to build Nanyang Vilar Port. The yard was more than seven acres. The emperor thought it was quite good, so he demolished it?
Is this logical?
You have bought the Beijing house I gave in the past, and I have only bought these two houses!
Is this a great reward?
How did Zhang Juzheng teach the emperor if he is not strict with his teaching?
Bai Yuanjie was not in a hurry at all, and looked like she was waiting to see Chen Mu laugh at him.
"I have also demolished the tiger city in the capital. There are no tigers inside anyway. Move your garden in Nanyang Vilar Port, as it is, every brick and tile is correct, and the decoration is arranged in the form of a military room, so that it can be closer to me in the future. But I will not return the things to you. Let the Ministry of Works make a new set, exactly the same, and they all look like the old ones."
"I won't be promoted. I will increase your salary by a thousand stone to show me a reward. Zhang Jing said a lot, and he should be tired." Zhang Jing didn't feel strange at all when he said this, so he saw a human-shaped one-way chat software slowly put away the imperial edict and said, "There are two more letters. I will talk to you again another day, I'm here to express my respect."
