Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"But we can't be anxious about suppressing bandits. We have to wait at least until the first batch of warships are built before we can go out to sea to suppress bandits. If we don't have a reliable large ship to fight these cunning pirates at sea, we will probably suffer a loss."

Of course Ning Fan will not fall into the trap. He has always done things in an orderly manner, following his own plans and steps, step by step, without being affected by the outside world at all.

"Then your Majesty, please don't get so angry over this matter that you make irrational actions. Let those pirates make trouble at sea, but we have to have the Jinyi Guards strictly defend us. After all, these pirates have done some harm. It can cause huge losses to us."

Xiangxiang came behind Ning Fan and started massaging Ning Fan.

Those soft and innocent little hands coupled with the acupoint massage quickly calmed down Ning Fan's restless heart. Ning Fan hugged Xiangxiang with his backhand. The two looked at each other. There was no timidity or fear on Xiangxiang's face. Afraid, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

"There is a war and chaos outside. It seems a little inappropriate for me to enjoy beauty in this big tent at this time."

Ning Fan suddenly smiled, and when he said these words, Xiangxiang felt slightly lost and disappointed.

Xiangxiang broke away from Ning Fan's arms, calmed down her mood a little, and said to Ning Fan: "Your Majesty is the king of a country. Naturally, you cannot delay the affairs of the family and the country because of your children's affair, so you should rest early. "

Ning Fan did not sleep, but continued to read in the big tent. As expected, Qin Ying came in from outside not long after, and told Ning Fan the news that the fire had been basically extinguished, but the two ignition points The wood was almost burned, and there was no loss of life. This news made Ning Fan breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, the guards in charge of guarding have been arrested because of their poor performance. The cause of the fire has been basically determined. It was pirates who sneaked in secretly at sea. They have been caught. Unfortunately, they committed suicide by taking poison."

Qin Ying reported two pieces of news to Ning Fan.

The first news was that the person responsible had been dealt with, which reassured Ning Fan. The second news was that the murderer who set the fire had been caught, but had committed suicide.

Instead of making Ning Fan feel better, these two pieces of news made Ning Fan even more depressed. He stared at Qin Ying coldly and said, "Do you think you handled this matter well?"

When Qin Ying saw Ning Fan's unkind expression, she was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, trembling.

"Actually, if something goes wrong, I don't necessarily have to find a responsible person and punish him before I can calm down. Some things are force majeure, such as these thieves who secretly set fires. They are in the dark and we are in the open. We must take precautions. They have to spend a hundred times or a thousand times more energy to prevent it, and it is impossible to prevent it."

"What I'm angry about is not that the wood was set on fire this time, but your attitude in handling the problem. Why do you want to hold those guards responsible for guarding Jinyi for no reason? Are they really at fault?"

Ning Fan looked at Qin Ying.

His series of extremely oppressive questions made Qin Ying sweat profusely and unable to even lift her head, and her face turned pale from nervousness.

"Remember, no matter what you do, you must use a cool head to consider the problem, and do not use the bureaucratic and stereotyped thinking to deal with the problem. You can be flexible when dealing with the problem, such as guarding the wood this time You can punish the factory guards, or you can punish them more severely, but in reality, don’t punish them too harshly.” "

"The thunder is loud and the rain is small, do you understand what I mean? The thunder is loud to scare others and make them work more seriously, and the rain is small just not to chill the hearts of these brothers."

Ning Fan stood up and waved his hand to let Qin Ying leave. He was already ready to rest.

The Qin family's methods and methods of handling problems made Ning Fan a little unhappy, because what Ning Fan disliked the most was bureaucratic thinking and official-based methods.

When something goes wrong, he immediately deals with others in order to keep his own reputation. This is what Ning Fan hates the most.

Early the next morning, Ning Fan called Qin Ying again and asked him to call Wang Hai. After hearing Ning Fan's order, Qin Ying did not leave immediately, but said to Ning Fan: " Is Your Majesty going to take action against these pirates because of what happened last night? At this time, the big ship has not yet been built, and the imperial navy's ships are too small. If you attack the pirates rashly, you may not be able to take advantage. After all, those pirates have occupied The island has a favorable terrain.”

"You have thought about this issue carefully and you have made progress, but you should call Wang Hai over. I called him over not to take immediate action against the pirates, but to understand the specific defense methods of pirates at sea, and Their specific number and composition.”

The expression on Ning Fan's face looked much better, and the expression he looked at Qin Ying was full of approval.

Seeing Ning Fan's expression turn from gloomy to clear, Qin Ying was immediately relieved and a smile appeared on his face. He turned around and left the tent easily to find Wang Hai.

Wang Hai also devoted his efforts to building the big ship. When he first came to see Ning Fan, he still had a round face, but when Ning Fan saw him this time, he found that his chin was pointed.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to conquer the pirates. However, the pirates from this country have come ashore to cause trouble, which shows that their patience has reached the limit. I am afraid that they have already started fighting with each other."

It has to be said that this former pirate leader is quite smart. Ning Fan called him over without asking or saying anything. Wang Hai had already guessed Ning Fan's purpose.

And he told Ning Fan as soon as he opened his mouth that now was not the time to go on a pirate expedition, and asked Ning Fan to be patient a little longer.

"Of course I know. Now is not the time. Aren't we waiting for you to build the big ship? Give me a date. How long will it take to build the first warship?"

Ning Fan looked at Wang Hai.

"Originally, if we built the ship according to the ancient method, it wouldn't actually take that long. After all, there are still a lot of craftsmen preparing this time, and there are countless skilled craftsmen among them. With everyone working together, the first big ship should be built in half a month. .”

"But His Majesty has added a lot of new technologies in shipbuilding this time. Many places will be covered with steel. For example, the keel of the bow and other places that are prone to collision will be covered with steel."

"Furthermore, His Majesty's newly invented chemical glue has been used in some places that are prone to water leakage. These glues are extremely waterproof. Even if this ship is launched and used for fifty years, I think there should be no major problems."

Wang Hai is still very confident about the big ship that will be built soon.
