Chapter 438
No matter what you do, you need someone to cooperate, which is what people often say, but today Ye Xun really didn't expect Shen Changshan to cooperate so much. A false pretense made the silver taels he wanted to raise suddenly triple. times.

While Ye Xun felt relieved, he also had to sigh, these uncle Yan are really fucking rich!
There is no free lunch in the world. After receiving the donation, Ye Xun immediately took the donation list and told the salt merchants that in the future, no matter in Jiangnan, Liaodong, or on the sea, the imperial court will give priority to those who have done a lot for the imperial court's construction and development. Merchants who have made contributions will each send out a pennant as a token of recognition.

It can be said that this dinner was very successful. Not only did Ye Xun make the trenches full, but the salt merchants also got the promise they wanted from Ye Xun.

Some people may suspect that Ye Xun is taking the opportunity to make money, but it won't be long before Ye Xun will tell them with practical actions that Ye Xun will definitely keep his word when dealing with those of his own who have helped him.

The salt merchants all left, but Shen Changshan was left behind by Ye Xun.

"Brother Shen, I really want to thank you for this matter."

Without too much orthopedics, Ye Xun is sincerely grateful to Shen Changshan for this righteous act. It is not that Ye Xun is really short of money, but that building a navy and a shipyard is very costly. The profits brought by the opening of the sea are not enough. Obviously, the imperial court used money everywhere, so Ye Xun had to use all means to get money. A bad reputation is not good, anyway, that thing can't be eaten.

"Hehe! My father-in-law is serious. Because I also operate shipping, I know that this kind of business requires a lot of investment in the early stage. I just did what I should do. Moreover, based on my understanding of my father-in-law, my father-in-law will not let me work hard in vain. One match, you say yes! Haha."

"Haha. Ye likes to deal with straightforward people like Brother Shen. I will not say thank you. I would like to ask Brother Shen about something. As far as I know, there is a shipyard in Jinling, and there is still a shipyard there. Is it a big ship with more than a thousand expectations?"

According to historical records, the big ships that Zheng He took on his voyages to the West were built at the Jinling Shipyard, and later generations still have a tourist attraction at the site of the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard.

Shen Changshan shook his head and said: "There are also shipbuilding there now, but according to the regulations of the imperial court, it is not allowed to build large ships with more than a thousand materials, let alone seagoing ships."

Ye Xun remembered the nautical charts and some shipbuilding blueprints left by Zheng He, and they were later burned by Liu Daxia, Minister of War of the Hongzhi Dynasty.

Fortunately, that old guy didn't catch up with Ye Xun's crossing time, otherwise he would have to be crushed to death by Ye Xun. How could he be so harmful?

Time has passed, and now Ye Xun has nowhere to vent his anger no matter how angry he is!
Jinling's Longjiang Treasure Shipyard is bound to expand in scale, but we'll have to wait until Ye Xun goes to Jinling.

Now Ye Xun is hiring shipbuilders with high salaries no matter whether it is overtly or secretly. It's just that Ye Xun became a monk halfway through. After all, he is not as good as Shen Changshan, a well-established veteran maritime merchant, so he has to help Shen's family in many things.

While talking with Shen Changshan, while walking downstairs, they saw Xiaoluo was eating with a thin little girl in her arms.

Xiao Luo had already washed the girl's face and changed her clothes. Although the girl's face was still malnourished, her big eyes were very cute.

Ye Xun is usually too busy, so most of the time, Xiaoluo can only stay alone in the tent or in the carriage. Even if she doesn't say anything, Ye Xun can understand the boring feeling. Now Xiaoluo saves the next one. The little girl, just right, can be regarded as finding something for her to do.

Shen Changshan bid farewell and left, Xiao Luo was nervously about to explain, but was interrupted by Ye Xun with a smile.

"Needless to say anything, as long as you like it"

As soon as Ye Xun finished speaking, a guard hurried in outside the door.

"My father-in-law, there was a rebellion in Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum. A group of officers and soldiers of the guard station suddenly turned and attacked the officers and soldiers guarding the imperial tomb. The officers and soldiers were unprepared and were caught off guard. At present, the imperial tomb has fallen, and the defenders are now fighting fiercely with the rebels. Please make a decision as soon as possible.”

Ye Xun frowned. It took only a while from Qian Qianyi to send the news to the real rebellion in Fengyang. Obviously, before Qian Qianyi got the news, they were already ready to launch.

Under normal circumstances, when there is a rebellion in Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, no matter who is an official here, no matter what the reason is, this big black pot cannot escape, and the final outcome is likely to destroy the nine clans.

It's a pity that this kind of situation is absolutely impossible to happen to Ye Xun, but the necessary posture is still to be done.

"Decree, the generals at all levels who came to discuss the matter tomorrow must arrive in Fengyang before tomorrow night, otherwise the military law will be carried out."

"Decree to Fengyang Commander-in-Chief and the prefect to wipe out the rebels with all their strength, and never let the rebels escape. I will arrive soon."

There will definitely be people who are unlucky, but it will definitely not be him, Ye Xun.

It's getting late today, it's enough to convey the order, there's no need to rush all night.

After issuing the order, Ye Xun took Xiaoluo and the little girl back to the government office's temporary residence.

In the carriage, Ye Xun was taken aback when he heard Xiaoluo calling the girl's name, and wanted to ask, but it's pretty good for a three-year-old girl to know her own name, so can she say too much?
"If so! Could it be that this little girl is the future Liu Rushi? Ha ha! That guy Qian Qianyi just left, but if this little girl appeared beside me, could it be God's will?".
The night is getting darker and darker, but the lights in Yangzhou City are not much less. Many places are still singing and dancing, and people come and go. According to the words of later generations, the nightlife has just begun.

There was a row of official ships moored at the Yangzhou Wharf. The ships were not very large, and they were all patrol boats of the Yangzhou Inspection Department. Ye Xun's men were transported across the river by these ships.

I don't know if it was related to the civil uprising in Huai'an, or the sudden mutiny in Fengyang. These official ships of the Inspection Department also look like they are facing a big enemy today.

The main ship was even more heavily guarded, and the deck was full of inspector officers and soldiers patrolling around.

In the cabin, several strong men with the appearance of generals were separated on both sides, but a man in a brocade robe with a veil sat in the middle.

"My lord, the news has already spread, will the eunuchs really be fooled?"

Other than Xu Hongru, who can be called so?Ye Xun couldn't help admiring this guy. Not only was he an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, but he was also elusive. With so much power, he didn't even catch his shadow. It's really incredible.

In fact, it doesn't seem difficult to understand this matter after thinking about it, because Ye Xun has offended too many people, especially the wealthy and official class in Ming Dynasty, almost no one does not hate Ye Xun, under the covert protection of these people, Xu Hongru was able to save himself from danger time and time again.

Just like this time, if someone hadn't cooperated with Xu Hongru, how could he have caused such a big commotion in Jiangnan?

And the reason why these people protect and cooperate with Xu Hongru is because he has the strength to kill Ye Xun.

To put it bluntly, it's just mutual use
