Steel Dynasty - Chapter 423

[Chapter 423 Support]

Xiao Wenxuan’s majestic voice echoed in Chengqing Hall.

None of the courtiers below raised any objections. The country of Chongqing had just got rid of the humiliating annual tribute to the barbarians. Now, can a barbarian who ran out from nowhere make the country of Chongqing sign a humiliating treaty again?

Moreover, in the eyes of the ministers, the barbarians are the real enemies of the Chongqing Kingdom. These barbarians on the sea are not important. The ocean is just a strange word to them.

As for the Dutch continuing to harass the coast, they didn’t care at all. After all, it was the King of Chu who suffered. Besides, the Dutch could only act tyrannically at sea and dare not go ashore.

“Father, if you don’t agree to the Dutch, the Dutch will completely cut off the maritime trade lines, which will be a huge loss to the Great Yu Kingdom.” The third prince did not give up.

He didn’t care about the face of Dayu, all he wanted was the stability of his status, and the strength of King Chu and his status were complementary to each other.

There was a hint of impatience on Xiao Wenxuan’s face. He had long been dissatisfied with the vassal kings of different surnames, and he was just compromising for the internal stability of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

When the third prince took the initiative to tell him about the Dutch and asked Xiao Ming to plead with him, he was already extremely dissatisfied with the King of Chu.

Although he was not interested in the Dutch and did not care about the business between the King of Chu and the Dutch, 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 to the throne. Too much tolerance not only failed to repay these lords with different surnames, but also made their ambitions continue to expand.

Now he can no longer continue to pay for the stupid mistakes of these lords with different surnames.

He said coldly: “It must have caused a great loss to the King of Chu. If I remember correctly, because of the Japanese invasion along the coast, royal ships rarely go to sea. The King of Chu is mainly doing business along this coast, and even the King of Wei also You have to look at the face of the King of Chu. Now that this disaster is caused by him, he must bear it himself. And remember, you are the third prince of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, not the nephew of the King of Chu!”

He said at the end! Xiao Wenxuan’s voice was full of warning.

Each of these princes is now so shameful that they have completely become the minions of the feudal princes in the capital for their own benefit. Xiao Wenxuan used to turn a blind eye, but now his tolerance has exceeded the limit.

The third prince’s face turned pale. In the past, he had always looked down upon the cowardly father on the throne, but now a fear suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

Since the second prince was deposed to Bazhou, the princes have gradually become more careful in their words and deeds. No one can challenge the supreme imperial power.

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

The prince and others immediately lowered their heads with guilty conscience.

With a cold snort, Xiao Wenxuan continued: “Fiji stays, the others disperse.”

“Long live my emperor!”

All the ministers said in unison, and then gradually retreated out. Many of the ministers who left had envy in their eyes.

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

After all the ministers had dispersed, Xiao Wenxuan said with a smile: “Since King Qi has asked you to speak, it seems that I have to support him in building the ship.”

“Hey, I can’t hide this from the emperor. There is indeed something wrong with this time. Seriously, today only the kings of Chu, Wei and Qi have their fiefdoms near the sea. Among them, the navy of the kings of Chu and Wei is the most powerful. If the Dutch continue to provoke, the kings of Chu and Wei may have ways to deal with it, but the king of Qi may not be able to

“What you said makes sense. I could still rely on King Wei before, but he really disappointed me in the last battle in Jizhou. I was confused by his loyal appearance before, but I never thought that he would be the same now.

“

Hiding evil intentions.”

Xiao Wenxuan sighed.

“Your Majesty, there is no need to be sad, people will change. As long as King Wei can still support the royal family, it is already a blessing. And now that King Qi is by his side, King Wei will not dare to act rashly.” Fiji advised.

Nodding, Xiao Wenxuan said: “It’s just a pity that I have spent so much money in the treasury over the years just to raise a wolf cub. As you said, the only way now is to support King Qi, and now we start from this shipbuilding workshop

“Your Majesty is wise.” Fiji smiled, “King Qi is your Majesty’s son, so he is much safer.”

“That’s right.” Xiao Wenxuan stood up and paced back and forth, “You.

“

Go to Qin Chengming with my order. He is the governor of the Young Mansion. He knows exactly how many shipyards and craftsmen there are under the imperial court’s name.”

Hearing this, Fiji felt relieved. This Qin Chengming is Qin Rui’s. Father, and Qin Rui has always been on good terms with Xiao Ming, Qin Chengming will definitely go all out for this matter.

After receiving Xiao Wenxuan’s order, Fiji turned around and left.

Watching Fiji disappear in Chengqing Palace, Xiao Wenxuan sighed and said to Feng Deshui: “I hope I didn’t misjudge Xiao Ming this time.”

“Your Majesty’s eyes are so bright, how could he be wrong? This old slave also thinks that King Qi is good, at least better than other princes. Much more practical, and His Highness Prince Qi never likes to play tricks, but He Ning…”

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

“Hey. “No problem, I forgive you.”

In the past, Xiao Wenxuan would have been furious, but today he just sighed slightly. As time went by, he had gradually forgotten many things.

When Feng Deshui heard this, he stood up tremblingly and said with a smile: “Your Majesty, the old slave has asked people to transport the hot air balloon to the outside of the city. Today is a good day to climb high and see far away.”

“Let’s go.” When going on a hot air balloon ride, Xiao Wenxuan became more and more fond of boarding the hot air balloon and taking a look. He immediately smiled and walked out with Feng Deshui.

At this time, Fiji had arrived at the Shaofu Prison and found Qin Chengming who was summarizing the accounts.

“A registered shipyard?” Qin Chengming asked in surprise.

“That’s right, His Majesty has made a decree to transfer elites from these shipyards to King Qi. Can you check the account books to see how many craftsmen there are?” Fiji said.

Qin Chengming smiled and said: “There is no need to check the account books, this is all in the head of the official. Now there are a total of twelve shipyards under the royal family, including one large shipyard, four medium-sized shipyards, and the remaining seven are small shipyards. The total number of craftsmen in these twelve shipyards is 26,000. If half of them are transferred, the number will be 10,000. “

“The Shaofu Superintendent is indeed diligent in government affairs. In this case, the Shaofu Superintendent must dispatch skilled craftsmen to Qidi.” Fiji bowed his hand and said.

Qin Chengming also cupped his hands and said: “Since it is given to His Highness King Qi, I will definitely do my best.”
