Chapter 424: Five-Year Plan for Maritime Eunuchs
Liangchen didn't know what Zhang Cheng was thinking, he was still shocked by the reality that the big red robe didn't dare to care.
After all, he is not a real eunuch, he has never lived in the palace for a day, and he can't understand the system and rules in the palace, as well as the taboos.
"Princess Shouning's matter, this is the end, don't interfere anymore." Zhang Cheng straightened up slightly, looked at Liangchen, and said meaningfully, "We all knew about your situation last night, did you go to Daodong Factory for no reason?" ”
Liangchen was silent for a moment, and then arched his hand and said, "Thank you father-in-law for last night's incident!" ”
Zhang Cheng shook his head: "You don't have to thank our family, this matter is not saved by our family, but others can't look past it." If you're lucky, those two don't look at each other, otherwise your kid would probably be suffering in Dongchang now. ”
"Those two?" Liangchen was puzzled.
"If you know, you'll tell you, and don't ask more if you don't know." Zhang Cheng obviously had no intention of telling Wei Liangchen what was going on, and the words changed, "The emperor has urged our family, your injury is also good, when do you plan to go out to do maritime affairs?" ”
"I'm here this time to show my father-in-law the details." Liangchen hurriedly took out the plan for going to sea last time from his arms, and stepped forward and handed it to Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng raised his hand to take it, and when he saw that it was written "Five-Year Plan for Maritime Eunuchs", he couldn't help but be stunned: What does the word plan mean?
I wanted to ask for an understanding, but after glancing at the kid, Father-in-law Zhang felt ashamed to ask these four words, and it really didn't work for the other party.
"Five hundred thousand taels in three years?" After reading Wei Liangchen's plan to go to sea, Zhang Cheng was very surprised, "Are you sure?" ”
"This is still underestimated, if it goes well, it should be a few percent more." Liangchen looked confident, if he wasn't ready to float most of it, his cowhide would blow even louder.
"Really? Is it true that overseas is full of gold and silver, as you say? Zhang Cheng was skeptical, but he didn't intend to ask to understand, anyway, the emperor had already decided on this matter, and his heart was warm, he was going to pour cold water on it early, and he couldn't afford to sweep the emperor's interest now.
"Where's this place, my lord?" Zhang Cheng looked up and asked.
"Father-in-law, there is a picture on the last page." Liangchen reminded.
"Oh."
Zhang Cheng turned to the last page, and sure enough, he drew a nautical chart, on which the location of the master was marked with a thick pen.
"It's just across from Fujian, it looks close."
Zhang Cheng nodded, and Liangchen hurriedly gave him a brief explanation of the benefits of the senior member's current life. Zhang Cheng also didn't understand anything when he heard it, but he wasn't interested in asking more, anyway, this kid won't be able to complete his share by then, and the emperor will want him to look good.
He closed the plan and put it next to his pillow, and said to Liangchen: "The place has been established, why don't you go quickly, what are you tossing in Beijing." ”
"Father-in-law, I also want to go early, but I have to have manpower and money to go to sea, and my father-in-law can't ask me to go to sea with my bare hands." Liangchen looked at Zhang Cheng helplessly.
Zhang Cheng's eyes widened: "Don't look at our family, our family has no money." ”
Liangchen licked and laughed: "So please ask my father-in-law to tell the emperor, give me three months to raise money and recruit people, as soon as the deadline is up, I will immediately go south to Dayuan, and the emperor will not be disappointed." ”
"It's done."
Zhang Cheng can understand this, going out to do such a big thing as maritime affairs, this kid really wants to say that he can do it immediately, don't say that he doesn't believe it, the emperor won't believe it first.
Seeing that Zhang Cheng was good at talking, Liangchen struck while the iron was hot, and said, "Can my father-in-law help me ask for someone from the Imperial Horse Supervisor?" ”
Zhang Cheng glanced at him and asked who he wanted, and Liangchen hurriedly told Chen Mo about it. Seeing that it was just a small fireman, Zhang Cheng agreed without thinking about it, pointed to the table, and said, "You take Zhang's name sticker and go to the Imperial Horse Prison to find Liu Jixiang." ”
Liangchen was overjoyed, and hurriedly picked up a name sticker on the table, and when he saw that there were still a few, he couldn't help but say, "Father-in-law, can I get one more?" ”
"What to do?" Zhang Cheng's eyes widened again.
Liangchen bowed his head a little embarrassed and said: "I want to go to the War Bureau to order armaments, otherwise I will go to sea with my bare hands, and it will be troublesome if I run into pirates or something." ”
Zhang Cheng thought for a while and nodded: "Take it, Wang Dana, the steward of the War Bureau, is in the name of our family, just tell him." ”
"Thank you, Grandpa Zhang!"
As soon as he heard that Wang Dana was still a person under Zhang Cheng's name, didn't this mean that he and Wang Dana were brothers in the same school, and Liangchen was overjoyed. It's not a matter of a word on the lips of a junior brother ordering something from a senior brother, and this senior brother is still very fond of himself.
Zhang Cheng instructed with some unease: "Things can be given to you, but they can't be kept in the capital, you have to find a place outside the city to settle." ”
"Don't worry, father-in-law, I know how to do it."
Liangchen knows that it is powerful, the ordnance thing is not anything else, after all, he is just a eunuch, if the imperial historians know that he has hidden weapons in the capital, it will be full of trouble.
"Okay, our family is tired, you can go back." Zhang Chengcheng was a little tired, and motioned for Liangchen to go, but he still said more, "Dongchang, don't worry about anything, Ansheng is doing things." ”
The good minister must have it in his heart, but he didn't move his feet.
Zhang Chengqi said: "Why don't you leave?" ”
Liangchen sneered: "Father-in-law, I still have two things I want to tell your old man. ”
"What's the matter?"
Liangchen hurriedly told him about borrowing some people from Yang Hao, the governor of Liaodong, to go to sea, but he didn't say that what he wanted was to surrender to the Japanese, only that those people could be used.
He is also prepared, greet Zhang Cheng in advance, that is, say hello to Wanli in advance, if there is any trouble at that time, Wanli will have to take the blame for him. After all, hundreds of people poured into the Beijing Division, and the impact was still great.
Zhang Cheng was noncommittal, and asked Liangchen: "Those people under you were borrowed by Yang Hao, right?" ”
Liangchen nodded, Zheng Duo and Xiao Tian actually followed him voluntarily, but it was okay to say that it was given by Yang Hao.
"Yang Ho is willing to borrow you, it's his business, and our family can't take care of it." Zhang Cheng said lightly.
Liangchen understood what the other party meant, Zhang Cheng just thought there was nothing else, waved his hand to let Liangchen retreat, thinking that Wei Liangchen actually said that there was another matter, Zhang Cheng was really impatient.
"My father-in-law must know that I rented a place in Zuo'anmen to make a public house, and I am going to open the camp in a few days... In a few days, I will officially start the work, and then I want to invite my father-in-law to come and add some luster to my small land. Liangchen looked at Zhang Cheng with a sincere face, if it weren't for the fact that the maritime bonds hadn't been printed yet, he wouldn't mind taking out a few now and asking Gonggong Zhang to subscribe for them.
"Let's get back to it."
Zhang Cheng didn't refuse, nor did he agree, and Liangchen thought about the possibility of giving a gift. Out of Zhang Cheng's private residence, Liangchen went to the Imperial Horse Prison to find the admiral eunuch Liu Jixiang without stopping.
