Chapter 203 Zhao Gou scolded the ministers
With the entry of the grenade, the Musketeers began to train for this melee artifact.
The blueprint of the flintlock device was also sent to the "Da Song Foundry Bureau" for research and manufacture, and Xiao Qi had also completed the preliminary conquest plan for the southern sea area.
So far, Xiao Qi has nothing to be busy with at hand, so Xiao Qi decided to go back to Song Dynasty first, to check the construction of several large military ports and those large shipyards.
After handing over the administration of Ryukyu to Qin Tu, Xiao Qi took the 'Pingyi' ship and returned to the Song Dynasty with the 'Shanghai' and a dozen other ships.
Xiao Qi's return made Zhang Xiu and Yongjia extremely happy.
The two of them had been playing in the northern fiefdom of King Zhenbei for almost two months. They originally planned to return to the Prince of Lin'an Palace. Suddenly, they received a report from the army, saying that King Zhenbei had pacified the Eastern Islands and was now on his way back to the Song Dynasty.
Zhang Xiu was overjoyed when he heard the news, and rewarded the soldier who reported the news, and led Yongjia to Shanghai Port, waiting for Xiao Qi's fleet to return.
The two women rushed to Shanghai Port and waited for another half a month before Xiao Qi's fleet returned to Shanghai Port.
It turned out that Xiao Qi drove from south to north and inspected the planned military port and several large shipyards in various places, which was why he wasted some time.
During this journey, Xiao Qi brought back two three-masted warships and a giant building ship that had already been built for trial voyage, as well as twenty or so building ships of about [-] feet in length.
At this time, there are already three giant building ships that have been built, which are named "Pingyi" by Xiao Qi, which is the earliest flagship built by Xiao Qi, and the other two are named "Jiangzhe". and 'Cantonese number'.
In addition, there is a giant building ship in Dongying that is about to be completed and trialled. Xiao Qi also directly named it 'Qilu'.
Xiao Qi built the giant ship according to which province's shipyard, the first ship was named after the province, and the three-masted warships built by the other shipyards were named after the state capital of the province.
After docking, Xiao Qi didn't bother to rest, and immediately summoned the naval generals to appoint various officers of the new warship.
"Pingyi" is his flagship, and the captain is still Shi Daye, the captain who followed him to learn to command this giant ship from the very beginning.
The captain of 'Jiangzhe' is Fu Chenggong, a former general of the old navy.
The captain of the 'Guangdong', like Fu Chenggong, was also an old naval officer, Chen Decheng.
These captains were selected by Xiao Qi before, and they were taken on the 'Pingyi' to teach and command the backup commanders of such a huge ship as the 'Pingyi'. There are more than a dozen of these generals who are still on the 'Pingyi' superior.
The other three-masted warships that have been built and put into service, except for the earliest "Shanghai", are commanded by Long Yongsheng, who Xiao Qi has taught him step by step.
The captains of the other four ships were also selected by Xiao Qi from the nearly twenty generals of the old navy that Xiao Qi chose to accompany and teach Long Yongsheng when he was training Long Yongsheng.
These four three-masted warships are 'Fuzhou', captain Sang Musen.
Captain Li Mingqian of the "Guangzhou".
'Jinan' captain Wang Changsheng.
And Lin An, the captain of the Haizhou.
Xiao Qi also appointed a new captain, Zhang Dali, for the giant building ship 'Qilu' that was about to be built.
To say that these shipyards can build these big ships so quickly is not unrelated to Xiao Qi's capture of the peninsula.
There are many mountains and forests on the peninsula, and many trees are very suitable for building large ships, and after those big trees are felled, they are transported out of the mountains to the sea.
There, these big trees can be quickly cut into plates for building warships, and then transported to various shipyards by large transport ships.
This saves the shipyards in Da Song a lot of time, and only needs to get even bigger giant logs from Da Song that are suitable for making the keel of a large ship.
So now those shipyards in the Song Dynasty are rushing to work almost day and night, and Xiao Qi has improved the treatment of those craftsmen a lot, and the major shipyards have gathered a large number of shipbuilders.
It can be said that the current shipbuilding of the Song Dynasty has already had the trend of "making dumplings" like Xiao Qi's previous life, and the construction of large and small ships is very fast.
Xiao Qi arranged for the various officers of these battleships to lead their respective men and the battleships to intensify training, and arranged for them matters that required key training, and then returned to Lin'an with Zhang Xiu and Yongjia.
The people of Lin'an City were all excited when they heard that King Zhenbei, who opened up and expanded the territory of the Song Dynasty, had returned!
It was simply a red clay road with clean water splashing down the street, and the people were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
On the day Xiao Qi returned to Lin'an City, Emperor Zhao Shen personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to the city gate to welcome the return of this hero who had conquered a large area of overseas territory for the Song Dynasty.
Xiao Qi saw that his old father-in-law came to meet him at the gate of the city with a man of civil and military affairs, so he dismounted quickly and led Zhang Xiu and Yong Jia to meet his father-in-law.
Zhao Shen looked at Xiao Qi, he really liked this son-in-law more and more.
At the beginning, Xiao Qi said that he would go overseas to help Song Dynasty find silver, and it didn't take long before he shipped back more than 1000 million taels of silver, and also said that the silver excavated would be shipped back one after another in the future.
Now the treasury of the Song Dynasty is so full that it is pouring out!
Not only are the grain depots in various places full, but now the imperial court, which has been suffering from a shortage of silver, no longer has to worry about using dozens or hundreds of carts to transport copper coins every time it transfers money.
With these silver coins, as long as enough copper coins are issued for local use, the use of silver for large transactions saves too much manpower and material resources.
Although the current silver cannot meet the needs of the entire Song Dynasty, but with the continuous return of silver from overseas, this day will soon be realized!
What makes Zhao Shen even more satisfied is that his son-in-law is really good at fighting!
Not only can he fight, but he must win every battle. Nowadays, many people in Song Dynasty have begun to enshrine the portrait of his son-in-law in their homes.
Calling him the God of War, or the God of War who is omnipotent, these people feel that enshrining Xiao Qi's portrait will allow them to be omnipotent under the blessing of God of War no matter what they want to do.
Fortunately, Zhao Shen is not like some emperors who can only make the world fear him. If someone has a higher status in the hearts of the people than himself, he must find a way to get rid of him.
But Zhao Shen also understands that even if he is jealous, it is useless, let alone his son-in-law and master who cannot be provoked, now this son-in-law Xiao Qi himself can no longer be easily provoked.
If he must kill Xiao Qi, he would not use Changsheng Camp. Maybe his own imperial army would tie him up and send him to Changsheng Camp to receive the merit.
This is not a question of the loyalty of the Forbidden Army, but a question of no one willing to die for a foolish king.
Emperor Zhao Shen had held a banquet for the officials in the palace for three days in a row since Xiao Qi's return. He had no choice but to pull him now!
My son-in-law sent too much silver, even if Zhao Shen took out 1000 million taels and sent it to the treasury, he and his cheap father Zhao Gou still have more than 500 million taels of silver in their internal funds.
Now Zhao Shen can only be called Hao!
I am no longer reluctant to spend money as before, and the place where the money should be spent is no longer withheld.
It's not that there are no ministers who want to grab the silver that Zhao Shen left in the palace and get it into the treasury.
These guys yelled at Zhao Shen in the court more than once, saying that the emperor should not only care about his own enjoyment, but that the internal funds should be enough, and he should care about the people of Li.
Zhao Shen was a little embarrassed by the spray, and discussed with his cheap father whether to take half of the money left and send it to the national treasury.
Zhao Gou was not happy, and ran to the court the next day to scold the ministers.
Said that these ministers are trash, bragging all day long that they govern the country so well that they can make the country peaceful, the people safe and the people rich, and that it is not good for poor soldiers to do nothing, it will make the country overwhelmed, the people will not live a good life, and they will lose the hearts of the people.
Now the king of Zhenbei, who you say is poor and silent, not only laid down a large area of territory for the Song Dynasty, but also brought back countless money for the Song Dynasty.
You said at the beginning that the people will not live a good life and will lose popular support.
Now all the young people in Song Dynasty are crying and shouting to go to the Changsheng Camp to serve as soldiers. You don't want to use the great law of governance that you boast about to govern the country and realize what you say is prosperity, prosperity and prosperity for the people.
But you want to rob my grandson-in-law of his money to honor me, you damn bastards, you have the guts to wait until my grandson-in-law comes and point your nose at him and scold him.
Before returning to the harem, Zhao Gou cursed angrily:
"A group of pretentious mediocrity, what the hell only talk about other people's faults, and they have no shit.
You are really loyal ministers, don't talk about scolding my good grandson-in-law, you go to the street and shout the memorial that said that the King of Zhenbei was poor and silent.
If tomorrow morning I see that the shriveled boy who shouted is still alive and not beaten to death by the people, I will make him king! "
The first one is delivered, which may be the reason why people tend to get sleepy in hot weather.Four days of 20 words in a row, and I haven't completely rested from the fatigue of the previous nearly [-] days of daily [-] words.However, the author has already begun to sort out the detailed outline for the future, hoping to sort it out as soon as possible, so that the future plots can be written better.
