These craftsmen also understood what His Majesty the Emperor meant, and the whites of their originally cloudy eyes became clear again.
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise" Wu Youcai was the most active person.
He was the first to kowtow to Zhu Cixiang to express his gratitude.
The other craftsmen also followed suit, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
At this moment, Zhu Cixiang felt a sense of pride in his heart.
He could feel that these craftsmen were not kowtowing to him out of fear, but were sincerely expressing their gratitude.
Yes, in this era when human life is as cheap as a dog, the emperor actually values them so much Looking back on the first half of their lives, these craftsmen have mixed feelings.
But when they thought of the emperor's promise, they immediately felt that they had a bright future for the rest of their lives.
As long as you do more work, you will get more money.
Hey, if the imperial court had treated them so favorably earlier, how could they have fled the Longjiang Shipyard?
As for Yuan Tai, he would naturally not go against the emperor at this time.
Anyway, the official of the Ministry of Accounts has to worry about the silver issue, so he only needs to follow the order and collect it.
It can be seen that the emperor is a benevolent king, but this word of benevolence may become a drag in troubled times.
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.
Zhang Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo who was sitting on the pear-shaped south official hat chair, shook his head angrily and said: "It's unheard of, it's unheard of.
As an emperor, he openly takes plunder.
Three hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver, that's three hundred and fifty thousand taels of white."
I’m not willing to spend so much money.”
Zhang Gongri, the Marquis of Longping on the side, also complained: "Your Majesty's appearance this time was too ugly.
First he killed chickens in the main hall to scare the monkeys, and then ordered the imperial guards to attack us aggressively, just to make us bleed."
Xu Wenjue, who had remained silent, said coldly: "Hemorrhaging is better than losing your head.
We reported our family wealth truthfully, and His Majesty only took half of it.
Look at Linhuai Marquis Li Zushu and Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo, but they underreported tens of thousands."
Two, they were checked out by Jin Yiwei, and they are currently in prison."
"This, this, ah" Zhang Gongri picked up the tea cup and drank it all, with a look of despair on his brows.
Zhang Guobi, the protector of the country, stamped his feet and cursed: "You are so poor that you are crazy.
I want to see who he can rely on to rule the country after he has offended us all."
"Be careful what you say.
If Jin Yiwei hears it, it will be a serious crime of beheading."
Zhang Gongri shivered.
"Bah, those hawks" Zhang Guobi looked at Xu Wenjue unwillingly and said: "Wei Guogong, you should think of a way.
The emperor can take away half of our family wealth this time, and he can take away all next time.
We can't just sit and wait to die."
"He is the king, and the king tells his subjects to die, and they have to die unless" "Unless something" "Unless the emperor dies."
Xu Wenjue gave a sneer: "If the emperor dies and we establish a new emperor, not only will we not have to worry about it, but we will be able to be extremely honorable and favored." hiss
Zhang Guobi gasped, and Zhang Gongri was so frightened that he trembled all over: "Wei Guogong, what do you want to do?"
Useless stuff Xu Wenjue commented on the two of them in his heart.
"You have made a mistake.
It is not about what my father-in-law wants to do, but how God wants to arrange it."
"Yes, but now Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong has been thrown into prison, and the capital camp has been controlled by the emperor.
How can we turn the world around with just a few hundred people in our hands?"
"Who said we have to rely on the military?"
Xu Wenjue rubbed his palms and said slowly: "You have all heard about the emperor's order for the Ministry of Industry to repair the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, right?"
"A waste of time and money" Zhang Guobi snorted and said, "Isn't this little emperor trying to imitate Chengzu in his overseas voyages?"
"Of course not."

Xu Wenjue let out a long breath: "If I guess correctly, the emperor wants to build his own navy."
"Navy Master" Zhang Gongri's eyes lit up and he said: "Wei Guogong means that we can take action on the river."
Xu Wenjue nodded slightly, still satisfied with Zhang Gongri's understanding.
"The emperor is determined to build his own navy, but this cannot be achieved at once.
Given the emperor's obsession with the navy, if we were to present a memorial at this time and invite the emperor to come to Xinjiangkou for inspection, he would definitely not refuse."
The Xinjiangkou mentioned by Xu Wenjue is an old naval base of the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were 400 warships at Xinjiangkou, but this was later reduced to 200.
During the Jiajing period, in order to defend against Japanese pirates, the number of ships was increased to 400.
Now this navy is in the hands of Xu Wenjue.
However, because Jiangnan has been at peace for a long time, the warships have long been replaced by sand ships that are more suitable for inland water transportation.
The so-called navy is actually more like a water transport fleet.
Of course, this water transport fleet was still nominally the Ming Dynasty's Xinjiangkou Navy, and it still drew hundreds of thousands of taels of silver from the Ministry of Household Affairs every year.
"What a brilliant idea, what a brilliant idea.
There was a strong wind and waves on the river, and the little emperor accidentally fell into the water.
He was unaware of it."
Zhang Guobi also understood, his face full of excitement.
"The matter is of great importance.
Just because the emperor fell into the water is not safe.
To protect the safety, the ship must be sunk."
Xu Wenjue's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he clenched his fists tightly.
Hiss, so cruel However, Zhang Guobi thought carefully about what Xu Wenjue said made sense.
Regardless of whether it was Wu Zong or Xizong, they were both rescued after falling into the water.
Although they died of illness in the end, it took a lot of time.
For them, since they decided to kill the king, nothing could go wrong.
You must know that this is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
If anyone finds out the clues, the entire family will be buried with them.
And if the bottom of the imperial ship is pierced in advance, the entire ship will sink into the river.
At that time, everyone on the royal ship, including the emperor, would be buried in the belly of the fish.
Even if someone on another ship wanted to jump into the river to rescue the emperor, it would be impossible, because after the ship sank, it would create a large whirlpool, and those who jumped into the water to rescue would also be sucked in and engulfed.
I have to say that although this trick is vicious, it is too safe.
They are neither poisonous nor husbands.
They even dare to kill the emperor.
What's wrong with having a boatload of people buried with them?
"Wei Guogong has great plans, but he has no choice but to choose the new king."
Since they had to take the risk of confiscating their homes and annihilating their clans, they naturally wanted to pursue greater interests.
The merit of supporting and following the dragon must be firmly grasped in one's hands.
"Mr.
Qian has already thought of this for us.
King Lu is wise and should be the new king."
Xu Wenjue said loudly.
"Which Mr.
Money" "In this Yingtian Mansion, besides Qian Muzhai and Qian Qianyi, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites and Donglin Party leader, who else can be worthy of the title of sir?"
Xu Wenjue said quietly: "The emperor offended not only the ministers, but also the literati.
With Mr.
Qian's qualifications, he could not even get an official position in the new dynasty.

Now the emperor wants to force the officials and gentry who have already served to donate money to me.
It seems that he hates this little emperor more than you and I.
Mr.
Qian’s disciples and former officials are all over the world.
As long as he ascends to the throne and we support him as much as possible, Lu Fan will definitely be able to ascend to the throne." s: Thanks to book friend shajia for the 100-coin reward:
