The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Early in the morning.

Yang Tinghe could not stand at the door of Yan's Mansion for a long time. He came in person to wait for this son to go to court together. It was already very good for him, a highly respected scholar, to be able to do what he was doing now.

At this time, Yan Chengjin suddenly felt something when the door of the house opened, and he raised his eyes to look at the alley.

Not far away, there was a figure in a peacock scarlet robe standing there, holding a fluorene tablet in his hand, walking quickly like a little eunuch in the palace. The key was the appearance of the person...it was Yang Tinghe.

Why did you come to him?

At this moment, Yang Tinghe walked close to Yan Chengjin and gave Yan Chengjin a slight courtesy.

"Master Yan, shall we together ask the imperial court to build a ship to go to sea today?"

Yan Chengjin thought he was the first person in the restructuring. Seeing Yang Tinghe's appearance, he suddenly felt that he, the first person, had to be replaced.

"Master Yang, go and see Doctor Wang?"

This time Yang Tinghe was really angry! He had only traveled in Franji for a few years, and his horizons had broadened, but his temper had not changed at all.

Moreover, he only admired Yan Chengjin's structure and way of governing the country, and was still a little ashamed of Yan Chengjin's 'steady' temperament.

Yang Tinghe asked coldly with a straight face.

"You also want the imperial court to send ships to sea, right?"

"I don't want to..."

Yan Chengjin shook his head sincerely. What he said was true. He wanted to leave America as a back garden for the Tang and Song Dynasties. After he got the iron-clad ships, he would go to America to gain experience and gain weight.

Now that the imperial court is sending a big ship, isn't it ruining his plan?

After saying hello, Yang Tinghe sat back in the sedan.

He Neng came up and whispered: "Master, yesterday Mr. Wang's family said that Mr. Yang sent Yang Shen to study in the College of Science."

Yan Chengjin didn't say much. When Marquis Wu Ding escorted him back to the capital, he still had something to ask for. If Yang Tinghe dared to beg at the risk of disobedience, I believe he didn't want to harm himself.

The official battles in the court were too complicated. Who would have thought that Xu Jie, who was respectful to Yan Song, really wanted to let him die.

He felt that any time traveler who had seen the history of the Jiajing Wanli Dynasty would not easily believe Yang Tinghe.

After going out and getting on the sedan, Yan Chengjin directly picked up the wooden board next to him, picked up the teapot and poured a cup of chrysanthemum and wolfberry tea.

A quarter of an hour later, the left and right doors were closed. Dozens of officials were already waiting here. People would get chatty when they get together. Moreover, the left and right doors were in the palace corridor, which was also a good place for chatting and gossiping.

From all the way, Yan Chengjin heard many officials talking about Yang Tinghe begging to send a ship to sea. Some people were also saying that Yang Tinghe was colluding with him, and suspected that Yang Tinghe had succumbed to his lustful power as a dog official.

"Yang Tinghe's temperament about sending ships to the imperial court has indeed changed drastically. He should have been shocked by the development of Franji. Otherwise, how could he have become so enlightened? It seems that one more project will be added in the future to allow those stubborn officials to go to sea more. Yan Chengjin thought as he stood.

Hearing those whispers and feeling the strange gazes, Yang Tinghe's face burned. He had never done anything that would be criticized by officials in the past.

But he insists this is a good thing.

"Lao Gao, do you still have the medicine to make Master Yang obedient?"

"What medicine?"

"All the officials said that you gave Master Yang the ecstasy soup, and I want one too." Zhu Houzhao blinked, he had long wanted to give the dog the ecstasy soup.

"No."

"Then I'll ask Master Yang."

The golden bell rings!

When the officials walked into the Fengtian Hall, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi folded up the slightly longer cuffs at his wrists, then put his hands on the armrests of the dragon chair, and the officials immediately became quiet.

During this process, Yan Chengjin was also carefully observing the face of the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi, and listened to Fang Xue's report. The Supreme Emperor and the princes had already discussed the results yesterday.

I hope the imperial court will not send ships out to sea. At least, they will wait for the Tang and Song Dynasties to build big ships and form a team together.

"Ahem...I discussed with the princes yesterday to send five fleets out to the East Ocean in five directions to search for the rich land mentioned by Yang Qing's family."

The five fleets have a total of 600 large ships.

First find the fleet in that area of ​​​​the East, and then notify the other fleets to form a large fleet of 600 units.

Even if it costs more than 30 million taels of silver, the Supreme Emperor Hongzhi will not hesitate at this moment. The eyes of all the officials are burning, this money is really spent too much!

It's just money spent by the imperial court, as long as it's not spent by oneself. Moreover, merchant ships can also go to sea with the imperial fleet. If the Golden State is really discovered, they can also share some meat.

For example, some gentry now go to Manchuria to buy land, grow spices and sell them to the Ming Dynasty.

"I think it's impossible."

A clear and non-harsh voice sounded in the palace. The officials didn't need to turn around to see who said it. At this moment, looking for the sound, it turned out to be him. A handsome young man stood in the center of the hall.

This time Yang Tinghe couldn't help but look directly at Yan Chengjin. According to this man's temperament, he should advise him together.

"Why do the Yan Qing family want to dissuade you?"

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi was a little stunned when he saw that the person trying to dissuade him was Yan Chengjin, and it took him a moment to react.

“We still don’t know which direction the Golden State is in the east, west, south, and west, so rashly going to sea will only increase our expenses. This is one of them.

To build 600 large ships, we don’t know how much wood needs to be cut and transported. This will block the Grand Canal and affect north-south trade and water transportation. This is the second reason.

The Franji people have been digging the Golden State silver mines for more than a year, and they may have already dug them out. This is the third reason.

The waves on the sea are huge and there are whirlpools in the sea, so there is a risk of capsizing the ship..."

The Supreme Emperor Hongzhi frowned, then looked at the officials below, and found that all the princes and officials also frowned, and they seemed not to agree with what this son said.

"It's okay. I'm not afraid of spending money. Do the Yan Qing family have anything to say?"

"..." Yan Chengjin.

I originally wanted to keep the Golden State to upgrade the equipment and infrastructure of my Tang and Song Dynasties, but now it seems that it is too imperial.

"According to my will, the three major shipyards including Qingjiang Shipyard are ordered to supervise the construction of 600 large ships. In addition, another Guangzhou Shipyard will be established in Guangzhou Prefecture."

If there really is a Golden State, Qingjiang Shipyard alone will not be enough.

Moreover, after the sea opened, merchants needed more and more ships, so they could only add another shipyard.

After the court ended, he and Zhu Houzhao walked towards Dongnuang Pavilion, and there were fewer officials around.

"Lao Gao, you don't want the imperial court to find the Golden State?"

"I haven't."

"Gao Banban clearly said that there is a territory in the East, but you just said in the court that there is no territory."

"I'm going to kill that traitor Gao Feng now. He actually dares to frame me."

"..." Zhu Houzhao.

He didn't know whether to expose Lao Gao or not. If there were other officials nearby, there would be misunderstandings.

Seeing that the Supreme Emperor had issued an imperial edict, Yan Chengjin stopped admonishing him. Although he wanted the Tang and Song Dynasties to take the lead, the ship had not been built yet.

There is a lot of wood that can be used for shipbuilding in Southeast Asia. It seems that I need to send a letter to Wang Shouren to hurry up.

Yan Chengjin was thinking as he walked, and soon walked back to the duty room of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Fang Xue walked in with his hand in hand, his face a little solemn.

"Sir, I just received an express report that Marquis Wu Ding's chariots and horses have arrived in the capital."
