Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 407

"Okay, I forgot that His Highness can eat big families." Han Yike laughed and said, "Isn't it a small thing for a big family in Suzhou to donate a few boats?"

"Hey, the landlord's family doesn't have any surplus food, so we still have to affirm their contribution." Zhu Zhen smiled honestly.

"Next question." Han Yike asked again: "His Royal Highness, do you know how long it will take to build a two thousand material ship?"

"how long?"

"Two years. This is not counting the time to dry wood." Liujiagang Shipyard is next door to the Shipbuilding Department, and Han Yi often visits it.

"Did it take so long?" Zhu Zhen said in surprise, "I remember when I beat Chen Youliang, the old father seemed to have built hundreds of big ships in two months."

"It was an emergency during wartime. There was no time to dry the big trees in the shade. We had to temporarily cut down trees and demolish house beams. What's the use? The boat built in a hurry can only be used for emergencies. The boat will rot and fall apart within a few years." Han Yike explained: "If you go into the sea, the ship will rot faster, and it may sink in water within a year or two."

"It can be used for a year or two." Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth and tore at the chicken's skin, and said ruthlessly, "Avenge the revenge first, or I won't be able to swallow this breath!"

"Okay..." Han Yike swallowed. It's different to be able to eat a big family. The fleet can be sold at once.

"There is something," Zhu Zhen said again in a deep voice, "Have you had any contact with Marquis Jinghai?"

"When I first came here, I went to Chongming Island to visit the pier." Han Yike said, "I haven't dealt with them since then, and His Highness also knows about the relationship between Xiaguan and Xungui..."

"That's right." Zhu Zhen nodded, and asked again: "Have you heard any rumors about him?"

"I've heard of some." Han Yike thought for a while and said, "Someone told me that the Shibo Division must not be able to continue, because it was Jinghai Houzuo who shut it down before. I'm not beating him now. face?"

"He has such a big face." Zhu Zhen sneered.

"That is, the common people along the coast have a saying of 'Zhu Lu Wu Shui'..." Han Yike slapped himself after finishing speaking. "Look at me, I just can't change this old habit of quick talking."

"Brother is here with me, so there is no need to pretend." Zhu Zhen smiled lightly and asked, "Do those four words mean what I understand?"

"Yes." Han Yike nodded and said, "The elder brother is in charge of the Yangtze River, and the younger brother is in charge of the sea. The emperor really trusts him."

"My father's thoughts have changed a little bit...Tai Ai..." Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "He is afraid that there will be troubles in front of him, but he is not afraid of the troubles in front of his eyes. He also hopes that they can jump out and save trouble."

"Indeed..." Han Yike thought about the civil uprising in Suzhou. Boss Zhu seized the opportunity to beat her to death after she just acted coquettishly.If the crown prince hadn't stopped them, the big households in Suzhou might have lost their minds collectively.

"Furthermore, after Zhang Shicheng's defeat, it was Jinghaihou's elder brother, Jiangyinhou Wu Liang who guarded Suzhou, and the emperor moved 14 households of wealthy people from the south of the Yangtze River to fill Fengyang, and he was responsible for the implementation."

"It's interesting..." Zhu Zhen murmured while scratching the chicken bones: "Then whoever goes and who stays is up to him at the time?"

"That's right." Han Yike nodded and said, "The final immigrant list...how should I put it? There are no rules to follow. For example, the Lu family and the Xie family are among the best in Jiangnan no matter in terms of popularity or wealth. But neither Selected."

"Do you think they bribed Wu Liang?" King Chu asked in a deep voice.

"That's not clear." Han Yike hesitated, but said truthfully: "Anyway, my master happened to be in my hometown at the time, and my father asked him to write a letter to Jiangyinhou..."

"En." Zhu Zhen nodded, he understood what Han Yike meant.At that time, in order to stay, everyone showed their special abilities and used all the tricks they could definitely use.

"What you mean is that the remaining big families, no matter which way they go, have worshiped the Buddha of the Marquis of Jiangyin." Lao Liu clapped his palms and said in a deep voice:
"Especially a big family like Lu Zhonghe must have paid a huge price, and may even have been accepted as a dog?"

"It's entirely possible." Han Yike nodded and said, "Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Lu Zhonghe got the most benefits during that time of revolution and the autumn of great changes."

"Then Xie Yunzhang confessed that somehow Lu Zhonghe became a big shot in Beijing and became his spokesperson in Suzhou, a middleman between a big family in the south of the Yangtze River and a sea merchant." Zhu Zhen furrowed his brows and said, "And never forced Lu Zhong to death. From the point of view of this matter, that adult is not Wu Zhen."

"Your Highness, what do you mean that Lu Zhonghe took refuge in someone of a higher rank?" Han Yike asked.

"That's not important. It may be that he first took refuge in Wu Zhen, and then through this relationship, he climbed up to Gao Zhier." Zhu Zhen waved his hands and said: "You also said 'Zhu Lu Wu Shui' just now, especially The Marquis of Jinghai was stationed in Chongming, and the smuggling on such a large scale happened right under his nose for such a long time. But he has never noticed it, and can only say that he is either really blind or deliberately pretending to be blind."

"That must be pretending to be blind." Han Yike said in a low voice: "I also heard that most of his Japanese navy officers are Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding's former troops. The main force of the pirates is also Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding's former troops. The bones are broken and the tendons are connected, so there will be a strange phenomenon that the Japanese have been suppressed year after year, but the Japanese plague has continued year after year."

"That's right, Yu Tongyuan and the others told me that Chen Youding's department was mainly based on Guangzhou Ships, and Fang Guozhen's department was mainly based on Fuzhou Ships. This time, the two groups of pirates who intercepted our city's fleet, one with twelve Guangzhou Ships worth [-] yuan. Mainly, the other group is dominated by twelve big fortune ships. They deeply suspect that Fang Guozhen and Chen Youding's old department-ordinary pirates, cannot build such warships, and they will not be so well-trained.

"Besides, such a powerful pirate fleet is as conspicuous as the lice on the bald man's head, but Wu Zhen never reported it. This only shows that they came here wearing a pair of trousers!" Zhu Zhen sighed and said:

"So it is basically certain that our enemy is... really a nest of powerful enemies."

"That's right, the two Marquises, together with the big man behind them, look really powerful and invincible." Han Yike sighed, "It's no wonder that Lu Zhong and those people were indifferent to the threat that His Highness posed. Because They feel they have a stronger backing."

"It doesn't matter, I don't care about the background. Anyway, when it comes to the background, no one can compare to me." Zhu Zhen quickly recovered his self-confidence:

"This world is still surnamed Zhu! Originally, this king didn't know who the enemy was, so he suffered a lot. Now that he has basically caught their feet, their death is not far away!"

Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice: "From now on, Shibosi will enter a state of war, and the enemies are the Marquis of Jinghai and Marquis of Jiangyin!"

"Yes." Ming officials in this era are most used to the state of war.It is also a state of war that can bring out their best abilities.
