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

"Technology is not static. Every technology in the past dynasties is constantly innovating and progressing. The ancients drank hair and blood and wore animal skin clothes. We modern people still sit at the table and drink tea in a gentle manner."

Ning Fan looked at Wang Hai and said.

Wang Hai was speechless and nodded as Ning Fan said it, because he felt that what Ning Fan said was reasonable. Although he wanted to refute it, he could not find a reason to refute it.

"You work hard for me and you will gain my trust in the future. Then you will be in charge of the entire fleet."

Ning Fan has already seen that this Wang Hai is indeed a talented person, careful and courageous.

Wang Hai's biggest problem is actually one thing, that is, he has little education, is ignorant of logic, and doesn't understand right and wrong. Before, he only had interests in his heart, and there was no big right or wrong.

The shaping of a person's outlook on life and worldview needs to go through a process. Ning Fan believes that through his influence, this Wang Hai should still be able to go on the right path. This person is a talent and is very familiar with sailing on the sea. .

In other words, this Wang Hai is a navigator of this era, comparable to Zheng He of the Ming Dynasty. Ning Fan naturally has to focus on cultivating such a character.

Hearing Ning Fan's high hopes, Wang Hai felt a little ashamed. He looked at Ning Fan with an embarrassed face and said: "A person's background has a high probability of determining his height in life. I was born in a poor family. This I have never thought about being an official in my life, and now I am satisfied to be able to serve the emperor. As for what the emperor said about being in charge of the fleet, I am afraid that I am not qualified. After all, my background as a pirate will make many people dissatisfied. "

"You also understand now that if you do many things wrong when you are young, it will be difficult to turn back. However, this matter is not completely irreversible."

Ning Fan looked at Wang Hai and found that Wang Hai had changed a lot in recent times.

"My biggest mistake was to join the pirates for profit. In fact, I had no choice but to join the pirates because there was a famine at that time, and there were typhoons on the sea. If I couldn't catch fish, my whole family would have to do it." Starving to death, I had no choice but to join the pirates. In fact, it was all for survival."

Wang Hai mentioned his former pirate career, feeling somewhat regretful about it.

However, Ning Fan did not comfort him too much. He just asked Wang Hai to make more contributions to the court. Everything he did would be seen by the court.

After Wang Hai left, Qin Ying stood aside without saying a word, while Ning Fan carefully observed Qin Ying for a while and found that he seemed to have something to say but did not dare to say it.

"Your Majesty, you can't completely believe what Wang Hai said. After all, this person once joined the pirates. Your Majesty really needs to screen what this person says, otherwise you will be easily deceived by this person."

Qin Ying considered the words and said to Ning Fan.

Ning Fan smiled. In fact, Ning Fan knew very well what Qin Ying was thinking, and it was nothing but jealousy.

After all, Qin Ying was born in a scholarly family and started very high. The height of her life was determined as soon as she was born. And that Wang Hai was just a commoner, and Ning Fan was now promised a high official and generous salary, which would naturally make Qin Ying feel unhappy. Comfortable.

After all, Qin Ying worked as an errand next to Ning Fan all day long and made great contributions, while Wang Hai only knew how to build ships.

Just because he knew how to build ships, Ning Fan would entrust him with important tasks, and he would also be the captain of a fleet in the future. This really made Qin Ying feel very uncomfortable.

"Do you know what it means to do big things without sticking to small details? You should identify your own goals, work hard to achieve them, and don't think about other people's affairs."

"I have already thought about who is suitable for what kind of things. Naturally, I don't need you to teach me. Wang Haizhen naturally has to observe slowly and will not trust him so easily."

Ning Fan scolded Qin Ying and then said nothing.

These days, Ning Fan needs to read a lot of memorials every day, but what he focuses on is the news sent by Jin Yiwei. According to the news sent by Jin Yiwei, there have been some changes recently, which makes Ning Fan feel slightly uncomfortable.

These messages are about the Northwest Army, and some are about Chen Qiao.

Moreover, judging from various signs, Chen Qiao was very likely to have colluded with the Huns, and even had the idea of ​​​​separating the northwest and establishing himself as king, which shocked Ning Fan.

You must know that just a year ago, Chen Qiao was just an ordinary little general.

If he hadn't met Ning Fan, he would probably have been struggling at the bottom of his life and would never have been able to get ahead. It was precisely because of Ning Fan's appreciation that Chen Qiao rose like a comet.

And all signs indicate that Chen Qiao has secretly escaped from Kyoto and rushed to the northwest.

This news shocked Ning Fan, but also made him angry. He had already sent Chen Yuanqing to the northwest to take over the Northwest Army, but now that Chen Qiao had escaped from Kyoto, I am afraid that even if Chen Yuanqing reaches the northwest, his life or death will be uncertain. .

What's more, many of the Northwest Army are Chen Qiao's confidants. Whether these people will obey Chen Yuanqing's orders wholeheartedly is another matter.

Jin Yiwei did not get the exact information about when Chen Qiao sneaked out of Kyoto. Ning Fan was not sure which of the two generals Chen Qiao and Chen Yuanqing rushed to the northwest first.

The rebellion in the northwest had just been quelled, and now Chen Qiao wanted to separate the northwest and establish himself as king. This aroused a huge amount of hatred in Ning Fan's heart.

The situation was urgent, and Ying Fan had no way to organize more forces to avoid this incident. He could only call his veteran Song Chengzhou in front of him immediately.

"Your Majesty is saying that General Chen Qiao in the northwest is likely to rebel."

Song Chengzhou's face was full of shock, because in his impression, Ning Fan gave Chen Qiao very high courtesy and a large reward.

If Chen Qiao doesn't know what's good and what's good, he's simply a traitor.

"It is not surprising that this young man from Chen Qiao has made extraordinary achievements and is arrogant. He has some ideas. However, this person is a bit short-sighted. He is destined to have no good end when he goes against the imperial court. What's more, bringing war to the country and the nation at this time is really a sinner."

Ning Fan said coldly.

Song Chengzhou thought for a while, then stood up directly and said to Ning Fan angrily: "It takes at least half a month to reach the northwest from Kyoto, and it only takes seven days to reach the northwest from the south of the Yangtze River. , I am willing to go to the Northwest Army and serve as an envoy to His Majesty to avoid this war."
