Iron Dynasty

Xiao Wenxuan's majestic voice echoed in Chengqing Hall.

None of the courtiers below raised an objection. The Great Yu Kingdom just got rid of the shameful tribute to the barbarians. Now a barbarian who doesn’t know where to go can make the Great Yu Kingdom sign a humiliating treaty again?

Moreover, in the eyes of the ministers, the barbarians are the real enemies of the Great Yu Kingdom. These barbarians at sea are not important, and the ocean is just an unfamiliar word to them.

As for whether the Dutch would continue to harass them along the coast, they didn't care at all. After all, it was the King of Chu who suffered. Besides, the Dutch could only be domineering at sea and dare not go ashore.

Father, it's just that if you don't agree to the Dutch, the Dutch will completely cut off the sea trade line, which is a huge loss to the Great Yu Kingdom. The third prince did not give up.

He didn't care about the face of the Great Yu Kingdom, all he wanted was a stable position, and the strength of the King of Chu and his status complemented each other.

There was a hint of impatience on Xiao Wenxuan's face. He had long been dissatisfied with the different surnamed vassal kings, but he was just making compromises for the stability of the Great Yu Kingdom.

When the third prince took the initiative to tell him about the Dutch and pulled Xiao Ming to intercede, he was extremely dissatisfied with the king of Chu.

Although he was not interested in the Dutch, nor did he care about the business between the King of Chu and the Dutch, but the King of Chu deliberately concealed this matter, which was contempt for him.

These days, he has been thinking about the mistakes he made when he ascended the throne. Too much tolerance has not only failed to make these vassal kings with different surnames reciprocate, but has made their ambitions continue to expand.

Now he can no longer buy into the stupid mistakes of these different vassal kings.

He said coldly: It's a huge loss to the King of Chu. If I remember correctly, because of the Japanese invasion along the coast, the royal ships rarely go to sea. This coast is mainly where the King of Chu is doing business, even the King of Wei. You have to look at the face of the King of Chu, now that this disaster is caused by him, he will naturally bear it himself, and you remember that you are the third prince of the Great Yu Kingdom, not the nephew of the King of Chu!

At the end of the words, Xiao Wenxuan's voice contained a strong sense of warning.

These princes are so outrageous now that they have become the vassals of the vassal kings in the capital for their own interests. In the past, Xiao Wenxuan opened one eye and closed one eye, but now his tolerance has exceeded the limit.

The face of the third prince turned pale. In the past, he always despised this cowardly father on the throne, but now a kind of fear suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

Since the second prince was demoted to Bazhou, the words and deeds of the princes have gradually become more disciplined, and no one can challenge the supreme imperial power.

Although Xiao Wenxuan said this to the third prince, his eyes swept over the prince, the fourth prince and other princes.

The prince and the others immediately lowered their heads in guilt.

With a cold snort, Xiao Wenxuan continued: Fiji stay, and the others leave.

Long live my emperor!

A group of ministers said in unison, and then gradually retreated outwards. Many ministers who left had envy in their eyes.

The Fei family had four generations and three princes, and their disciples and officials spread all over the world. Now they have a son-in-law who guards the frontier. It can be said that they have everything they should have.

When the ministers were gone, Xiao Wenxuan smiled and said, Since King Qi let you speak, it seems that I have to support him in building ships.

Hey, I can't hide this from the emperor. This time the matter is indeed a little serious. At present, only the fiefs of the king of Chu, the king of Wei and the king of Qi are near the sea. Among them, the navy of the king of Chu and Wei is the most powerful. If the Dutch continue to provoke, this will The King of Chu and the King of Wei still have a way to deal with it, but the King of Qi may have difficulty.

You're right. I used to be able to rely on King Wei, but he really disappointed me in the last battle of Jizhou. I used to be fooled by his loyal appearance.

Xiao Wenxuan sighed.

Your Majesty doesn't need to be sad, everyone will change. As long as King Wei can support the royal family, it is a blessing, and now that King Qi is by his side, King Wei will not dare to act rashly. Fiji persuaded.

Nodding his head, Xiao Wenxuan said: It's just a pity, I have spent so much money in the treasury for so many years just to raise a wolf cub. As you said, the only way now is to support King Qi, and now we will start from this shipbuilding workshop. Bar.

Your Majesty is wise. Fiji smiled, King Qi is His Majesty's son, so he is much safer.

That's right. Xiao Wenxuan stood up at this time, pacing back and forth, he said: You go to Qin Chengming with my will, he is the supervisor of the Shaofu, how many shipyards are there under the name of the imperial court, and how many shipyards are there? He knows exactly how many craftsmen there are.

Hearing this, Fiji is at ease. This Qin Chengming is Qin Rui's father, and Qin Rui has always been on good terms with Xiao Ming. This time Qin Chengming will definitely go all out.

Receiving Xiao Wenxuan's will, Fiji turned around and left.

Watching Fiji disappear in the Chengqing Hall, Xiao Wenxuan sighed and said to Feng Deshui, I hope I didn't misread Xiao Ming this time.

Your Majesty's eyes are like torches, how could you be wrong? The old slave also thinks that King Qi is good, at least much more practical than other princes, and His Royal Highness King Qi never likes to play tricks, but He Ning...

When he said the word Ning, Feng Deshui immediately stopped his voice, knelt down in fear and said, Your Majesty, this old slave is guilty.

Hey, it's okay, I forgive you.

In the past, Xiao Wenxuan must have been furious, but today he just sighed slightly, the years have passed, and he has gradually forgotten about many things.

When Feng Deshui heard the words, he stood up tremblingly and sneered: Your Majesty, this old slave has already sent the hot air balloon to the outside of the city. Today is a good day to climb high and look far.

Let's go. Since boarding the hot air balloon to play, Xiao Wenxuan has become more and more fond of boarding the hot air balloon to look out, and he immediately smiled and walked out with Feng Deshui.

At this time, Fiji had already reached the Shaofu Supervisor and found Qin Chengming who was adding up the accounts.

A registered shipyard? Qin Chengming said in surprise.

That's right, His Majesty has decreed that the elites should be selected from these shipyards and handed over to King Qi. You can check the account book to see how many craftsmen there are? Fiji said.

Qin Chengming smiled and said: You don't have to look up the account book, it's all in the mind of the lower official. There are twelve shipyards under the royal family, including one large shipyard, four medium-sized ones, and the remaining seven are small shipyards. These twelve shipyards have a total of 26,000 craftsmen, and if half of them are recruited, it will be 10,000.

The supervisor of the young mansion is really diligent in government affairs. Since this is the case, the supervisor of the young mansion must send skilled craftsmen to Qidi. Fiji said with hands.

Qin Chengming also cupped his hands and said: Since it is for His Royal Highness King Qi, the lower official will definitely do his best.
