Chapter 1026

The emperor naturally knew the arrangement of the household department, Zhou Shuren left a lot of reserve money, which cannot be moved, "I know."

Zhou Shuren raised his eyes, do you know what you called me for?

The emperor coughed, "Last year, I started to build a lot of ships. The first one I built is going to be eliminated. Do you think it's better to sell it to merchants in my own country, or to some nearby countries that don't have sea power?"

He could remember that the country Zhou Shuren's son went to didn't even have the ability to go to sea.

Zhou Shuren stroked his beard, the emperor's thinking is okay, I don't know if it is influenced by him from time to time, the emperor's thinking is very advanced, "The emperor is not afraid that the surrounding countries' sea power will increase, which will pose a threat to our country?"

The emperor sneered, "Didn't you say that there is pressure to be motivated, and danger to make progress?"

Zhou Shuren blinked, he had said so much unconsciously, "I did say so."

The emperor said happily: "The minister of the Ministry of Industry said that foreign ships have given them a lot of inspiration. The idea of ​​​​the Ministry of Industry is not to restore the ship, but to improve on this basis."

Zhou Shuren doesn't understand the principle of shipbuilding, but he knows, ahem, five thousand years of civilization is really awesome, and he believes that technological improvements will definitely be possible, and it will be improved more perfectly. There is no shadow of steam abroad. The Ministry of Industry mentioned it?

Quickly snuffs out ideas, at least not for now.

The emperor continued: "The one your son brought back is called Bahu. I know he wants to buy a merchant ship, and he also spends a lot of money in the capital. This country should not be short of money."

Zhou Shuren raised his eyes, oh, you have already made up Bahu's idea, and now you can remember the name so clearly, "Yes, I heard Chang Yi say it."

Your Majesty, "This merchant ship is no match for a ship."

Zhou Shuren understood why the emperor called him here, "The price can't be cheap, and it can't be sold too much, and weapons can't be sold."

The emperor was speechless, and he didn't lose his head, "Only sell ships."

He also wants to buy foreign artillery. The last time he sent someone to sneak up on the ship to steal the shells. If the artillery was not too heavy, he would have wanted to get one back. He has nothing a gentleman can do. In front of the country, backward Being beaten, this is what Zhou Shuren said, and he thinks it is very reasonable.

Zhou Shuren really didn't know that the emperor not only sent someone to thoroughly draw the blueprints of the ships, but also didn't know that he had such a deep influence on the emperor!

Outside, Zhang Yang was shaking his body, looking at him from the corner of his eye, Eunuch Liu, his face darkened again and again, he just said something about the actions of the Ning family, framing the Ning family's wolf ambition, and the emperor even punished him after hearing it.

Zhang Yang was about to vomit blood.

The Ning family's tricks are not easy to grasp. He only now knows how strict the Ning family is, and he secretly hates the Ning family's attack on his power. He has beaten many people these days.

How could he not hate that the Ning family treated him indifferently, from his grandfather down to the members of the Ning family, he tried to win over the Ning family but failed, fearing the unity of the Ning family, secretly hated the Ning family for attacking him.

Zhang Yang moved his ears, wondering what his father and Zhou Shuren were talking about, he could hear his father's laughter from time to time.

The Zhou family's tea banquet was over, and they left one after another, and Zhulan personally sent Tao and Gao away.

After everyone left, Mrs. Song came over and said, "The two women have already boarded the carriage and headed to Zhuangzi."

Zhulan didn't hide Mrs. Song's actions today, she is in the backyard, it's hard to hide it, so it's better to be more generous, she just doesn't want to be an introduction, she just needs to be careful, and she just needs to watch the show for the rest.

In the carriage of Qiao's family, Mrs. Qiao's face was sullen. She was suspicious of her daughter's miscarriage, but she really found some problems, but she just didn't want to think about it.

She listened too much today, she was flustered, her doubts were getting bigger and bigger, and the doubts she found were constantly being magnified, and her body was shaking. If it was arranged by the fifth prince, wouldn't it mean that the fifth prince is really difficult to have an heir? The shield launched by the Fifth Prince.

The Qi family put too much treasure on the fifth prince, and they shuddered thinking of this, no, I have to tell Xianggong today.

In the palace, Zhou Shuren came out of the government hall. He knew the emperor's actions well. He hoped to see the emperor from time to time. The news was really well-informed. He deserved to be envied. Knowing the emperor's thoughts now can also make Changyi prepare in advance.

Zhou Shuren left the government hall in a good mood, when the wind blew, it made people feel really uncomfortable, and the spring breeze felt uncomfortable to the bones.

Zhou Shuren stood in front of Master Yao, and Yao Wenqi's face was already pale. If he continued to toss like this, he would definitely fall ill.

At this time, Eunuch Liu came out, "The emperor has an order, Lord Yao Hou can stand up and leave the palace."

Xie En, Yao Wenqi's body shaking, stood up and staggered, but Zhou Shuren didn't help him, but took a step back.

Yao Wenqi sat down on the ground again, Zhou Shuren asked, "Master Hou, are you okay?"

Yao Wenqi gritted his teeth, "It's fine."

Zhou Shuren sneered in his heart. He always remembered that his daughter was pregnant this time. Zhang Yang was equal to Yao Wenqi. There was nothing wrong with thinking so, "Master Hou, I will help you."

Yao Wenqi has never been so embarrassed, still in front of Zhou Shuren, his legs are numb, and the feeling of returning blood is particularly bad, as if tens of thousands of ants are biting him, "No need."

"Since Lord Hou doesn't need it, I will leave first. Lord Hou sits slowly."

Zhou Shuren took two steps and then paused, "By the way, Master Hou's complexion is not good-looking, but you must remember to call the imperial physician. I remember that Master Hou's two wives both died of illnesses, ah, such a count. Master passed away two wives, tsk tsk."

The meaning behind this is experienced by oneself, and Eunuch Liu has realized it.

Yao Wenqi glared at Zhou Shuren, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Shuren smiled, "What's the point of this officer? You must be thinking too much, Lord Hou. I think it's better for this person to live a simpler life. I'm still busy. I can't take a step ahead than Lord Hou."

Standing at the door, Zhang Yang stared at Zhou Shuren with wide eyes. Zhou Shuren was so mad at Lord Yao today, he seemed to be vomiting blood because he was angry with Lord Yao.

After Zhou Shuren finished speaking, he turned around and left. He didn't shine his paws. He really thought he was easy to bully. Heh, Yao Wenqi's two wives died similarly, but the first wife died too long ago, and no one contacted him much. That's all.

Zhou Shuren walked slowly outside the palace, Zhang Yang quickly rushed up.

Zhang Yang was a little out of breath when he walked fast, he slowed down outside the hall for a while, and then quickly caught up, "Master Zhou."

Zhou Shuren tilted his head and looked at Zhang Yang who was smiling at him. This guy's face is getting thicker and his acting skills have improved a lot. He smiled sincerely at him, "I've met Your Highness."

Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, "Lord Zhou, all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, you are the number one in my father's heart, and my highness admires you very much."

Zhou Shuren took a step back, "Your Highness must not say that. Civil and military officials each perform their own duties. The minister is the Minister of the Household Department. All ministries are related to the Household Department. That's why the emperor sees more officials from the Household Department."

He was talking about the entire household department, so he would not mention his name.
