Chapter 57 The tacit understanding between the ruler and the minister

Looking at Zhang Siwei's memorial, Zhu Yijun immediately narrowed his eyes and reached out to knock on the memorial. Zhu Yijun sighed. This approach was indeed very Zhang Siwei. He was asking for benefits from himself.

I can support you, but you must also support me, the king and his subjects have a tacit understanding!

In fact, Zhu Yijun really has no good impression of Zhang Siwei, but it’s not okay if you don’t need such a person. As for Zhang Siwei to use his own people as the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Zhu Yijun refused in his heart, but the current situation is that he needs such a person.

I can't guarantee anything else that this person will definitely support his scholastic silver after entering the cabinet.

In order to support Shiyin, I had to accept this matter by pinching my nose. I put the memorial aside, and Zhu Yijun had a scheming in his heart.

After reading Zhang Siwei's memorial, Zhu Yijun was not in the mood to read the other congratulatory deeds, and he lost his good mood. However, this also calmed down Zhu Yijun's head. Now is not the time to relax.

The Oirat side needs to be solved, the matter of Daxing Demonstration County needs to be implemented as soon as possible, and the problem of raising the sect should be implemented as soon as possible. We cannot wait for Zhang Siwei to send a scholar. You should know that Zhang Siwei will send a scholar this time, so he will not be able to come back.

After all, I have a lot of work to do in the preparation of the shipyard and the construction of the military department.

"I have opened so many copies without realizing it!" Zhu Yijun couldn't help but mutter: "The matter of the Salt Department must be implemented as soon as possible. When the Salt Department and Yangshiyin are implemented, you should have money!"

Although it is very difficult to implement the Yangshi Silver, Zhu Yijun must push it down.

"Prince, Lord Xu is here!"

After listening to the eunuch's report, Chen Ju turned around and spoke to Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun was stunned. Why did Xu Wenchang come? He couldn't come to drink again, right? Recently, Zhu Yijun discovered that Xu Wenchang was developing towards alcoholics. He glanced at Chen Ju, and Zhu Yijun said, "Let him come in!"

Not long after, Xu Wenchang walked in from outside with a familiar smile on his face.

After looking at Xu Wenchang, Zhu Yijun said lightly: "Don't always think about drinking with me. I don't have that much good wine for you."

"Your Majesty, I am not here to ask for wine this time." Xu Wenchang said with a smile: "I am here for serious business this time."

Seeing Xu Wenchang appearing like a minister, Zhu Yijun felt awkward in his whole body, waved his hand and said, "Okay, then just talk, I'll see what you have to do."

Xu Wenchang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I went to have a meal a few days ago. The one who invited me to dinner was an old friend from Shanxi. This person asked me for some things. Didn't I come to discuss with Your Majesty?"

"What's your business just for a meal?" Zhu Yijun said angrily: "I still want me to do things? Then you have to invite me to dinner."

Xu Wenchang said with a wry smile: "That is your Majesty's honor. If the emperor does not dislike my minister's skills, I will cook myself."

"Your skills?" Zhu Yijun curled his lips and said, "You'd better talk!"

Xu Wenchang looked very injured, but he still said, "Your Majesty, this person's surname is Wu. His family is a big merchant from Shanxi, a salt merchant." When he said this, Xu Wenchang glanced at Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun was stunned. The salt-maker asked to invite Xu Wenchang to? This is quite interesting!

"Salt merchants in Shanxi? The largest salt merchants in Shanxi seem to be Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu? He ran to you to ask for help, it's new. Tell me, what do he want to do?"

"Back to Your Majesty, this person wants to see Your Majesty!" Xu Wenchang directly told Li Zhongxing about it.

Squinting his eyes, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "The four major salt merchants in Shanxi, the Li family is at the end. If you want to see me at this time, it seems that the Li family is not simple, but it is interesting. I am sure, you bring him here tomorrow!"

Xu Wenchang didn't expect Zhu Yijun to agree so happily. He was slightly stunned and then bowed and said, "I obey the order!"

Seeing that Xu Wenchang still had no intention of leaving, Zhu Yijun said directly: "I won't leave you for meals. Go and find the salt merchant named Li. You have done such a big thing for him, and you must not make a good deal."

"I save myself from coming to me all day long to catch the autumn wind, or I will write steles and sell paintings for others, and I will lose my people."

Xu Wenchang said a little aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, how can you be considered a seller's business?"

"Go away quickly, I don't want to see you now!" Zhu Yijun immediately smiled and was quite happy to chat with Xu Wenchang. Thinking of Xu Wenchang, Zhu Yijun thought of Song Yingchang.

The person Xu Wenchang recommended to him is now a doctor in the Ministry of War, so it is quite suitable for building ships.

After looking at Chen Ju, Zhu Yijun directly ordered: "Go to the Ministry of War and find a doctor named Song Yingchang."

"Yes, Master, I'll go now!" Chen Ju agreed, turned around and walked out.

Chen Ju left, Zhu Yijun was about to continue reading the memorials. He has been staying in Kunning Palace these days, and many memorials have not been processed.

As a doctor in the Ministry of War, Song Yingchang was confused when he saw Chen Ju. Now he is very concerned about this new eunuch Bingbi, who is the new eunuch in the Sili Supervisor, especially after Zhang Jing left Beijing, Chen Ju took over Zhang Jing's previous position.

Although Song Yingchang knew about this, he felt that this matter had little to do with him. After all, he was just a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of War, and the affairs of the senior management really had nothing to do with him.

When Song Yingxing saw Chen Ju, he was suddenly confused, especially in front of Wu Dui, the Minister of War.

Wu Dui glanced at Song Yingchang, then looked at Chen Ju again. He didn't know what Chen Ju was doing to Song Yingchang. Seeing that Song Yingchang was coming, he spoke, "Eunuch Chen, this is Song Yingchang."

After looking at Song Yingchang up and down, Chen Ju nodded and said, "Please trouble Mr. Wu!" After that, he said to Song Yingchang, "Let's go with our family! The emperor summoned him."

Song Yingchang was even more confused. The emperor summoned him? What did the emperor summon him as a fifth-rank doctor?

After hearing Chen Ju's words, Wu Dui raised his eyebrows. To be honest, Wu Dui, the Minister of War, is really tired. Since he became the Minister of War, the Ministry of War has not stopped. What are you doing now after the trouble with the Arsenal Department?

When facing his reputation outside, Wu Dui also knew that he would soon become a clay sculpture minister.

After doing this, Wu Dui felt that it would be better to be a scholar. Now he is looking for Song Yingchang again. Wu Dui has made up his mind. If the emperor is doing something wrong this time, he will definitely oppose it firmly. It is really not possible. This Minister of War will be improper.

Song Yingchang followed Chen Ju to the palace, but after entering the palace, Song Yingchang didn't understand what was going on.

Although Song Yingchang wanted to make a word with Chen Ju and find out some news, Chen Ju obviously didn't care about him, which made Song Yingchang depressed. There was no way, so he could only follow Chen Ju.

When he arrived at the Ganqing Palace, Chen Ju went in to report, and then came out to greet Song Yingchang for an audience.

"My minister Song Yingchang is here to meet the emperor!" After entering, Song Yingchang hurriedly lay on the ground and kowtowed. This was the first time he had seen the emperor since he was an official for so long. He had nothing to do with him in court, let alone anything the court had to discuss.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Song Yingchang, nodded and said, "Get up!"

Looking at Song Yingchang standing there, Zhu Yijun could clearly feel his restraint. Zhu Yijun did not take a turn and said directly: "I have an errand to ask someone to do it. Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang have recommended you to me."

Song Yingchang suddenly realized that it was Xu Wenchang, and he felt relieved.

"Please give me the order, and I should obey the order!" Song Yingchang hurriedly bowed.

"Don't rush to say this first. You can do this errand or not." Zhu Yijun walked off the dragon throne with a smile, pulled over his small blackboard, and hung up the picture of his warship again.

Picking up his little wooden stick, Zhu Yijun pointed to the picture and said, "Did you see this ship?"

"I saw it!" Song Yingchang nodded quickly to agree.

"It's good to see it. I'm going to build a shipyard and need someone to preside over it. Xu Wenchang recommended you to me. Although this picture only has the appearance, its approximate size and shape are all on it."

"The shipyard I want is to build this ship, and I plan to place this shipyard in Tianjin."

"What you have to do is go to Tianjin Wei, check it out on the spot for me, choose a place, and then make a budget for me to see how much it costs and labor it takes to build such a shipyard."

"Write a detailed memorial to me at that time. When you are done, I will let you take care of this shipyard."

Song Yingchang was stunned. What a big thing? Do it himself? He subconsciously wanted to give up: "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too difficult? With me alone, I really can't catch it!"

"Of course it's not you alone. I will send someone to you. I have asked someone to find a few old craftsmen from Longjiang Shipyard."

Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

Song Yingchang was still a little hesitant. This was obviously not a good job, but it was basically exhausted. It was not certain whether it could produce results. If something happened, it would be really bad.

"By the way, the head of this shipyard is the title of Minister of the Minister. If you have built this shipyard, I will give you a Minister of War. When you have built the ship I want for me, I will give you a title of Minister of the Secretariat." Zhu Yijun looked at Song Yingchang and said with a smile.

If you want the horse to run, you have to feed some good grass. Zhu Yijun is definitely willing to give up the book.

Song Yingchang was stunned. After building a shipyard, there was a minister who wanted to be promoted to minister. I don’t know when it was! When he heard of the official position of minister, Song Yingchang felt that the difficulties he had thought of before were nothing.

It is very cost-effective to be a minister by building a shipyard. It is worth doing. I gritted my teeth and did it.
