Chapter 734: Returning

The vast fleet headed north all the way to Quanzhou.

In fact, Xu Jing missed the opportunity to dock in Jiaozhi, but he didn't know that Jiaozhi had become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

When the huge fleet arrived in Quanzhou, he hurriedly replenished supplies and immediately headed north.

On this ship, countless people were eager to return home, and they just wanted to give up their wings and return to Tianjin Port.

The Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse Department was already busy. After sending supplies to the fleet, the Maritime Warehouse immediately reported to the inner palace.

With the need to voyage to the West, the Maritime Bureau's responsibilities began to move closer to the voyage to the West. Day and night, the fleet was safe and sound.

The eunuch Wang Bugan was the eunuch Wang Bugan who was so excited that he was crazy. He stood in the port and sent off the fleet. He hurriedly called someone to come and asked someone to draft the draft.

Wang Bugan came in his own duty room, and walked back and forth with his hands behind his back. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Start up, let's talk about the Marquis of Shouning first. The palace has come to ask Shouninghou and Zhou La several times. If there is an accident, we can't afford it. God is lucky that the Marquis of Shouning and Zhou La will finally come back safely. If Empress Zhou and Empress Zhang find out, they don't know what happiness will be. Therefore, the most urgent thing is to report it, this is the matter."

The clerk nodded, and then wrote a few strokes.

Wang Bugan was full of red light: "Also, tell the palace that the Golden Continent has been found. Our Ming Navy has found the huge island hanging in the lonely sky. Although we don't know anything about it, we can't ask in detail for a while, but this is a great news, and it is God bless the Ming Dynasty. But... this island is very large, spanning thousands of miles. It will take some time to find the "God Seed"..."

Wang Bugan narrowed his eyes: "This time the fleet has gone deep into thousands of miles and traveled back and forth for more than two years. Now, he has returned safely. This time, he has made a fuss about his trip to the West..."

After Wang Bugan said that, he couldn't help but envy Xu Jing: "Amistant Xu rides the wind and waves, and reaches the extreme west, his achievements are no less than eunuchs in the Three Treasures, which is enviable."

He looked at the clerk: "Send the report immediately, don't let someone take the lead. We are in Quanzhou, and grandma doesn't love it, so rely on this to be familiar with His Majesty."

"yes."

……………………

Yang Ya remembered that early in the morning, she was called out by Yang Biao, who was carrying a "ruler".

Then, a hoe was distributed...to dig coal.

Digging coal...

Yang Ya and others were uproared and clenched their fists in anger, wanting to argue with Yang Biao.

Yang Biao shouted: "What do you do, what do you do, there are too many people, are you bullying me, are you? Do you know what I call me? My mother calls me Biaozi, why is it called Biaozi?"

Bang!

The ruler in his hand smashed the lamp shelf in front of him away.

Yang Biao roared: "What do you look at? What do you look at? What do you think about me? Your Highness is digging coal. What's so great about you!"

No wonder Yang Biao is angry.

Here in the West Mountain, the atmosphere has changed since the prince led people to reclaim and dig coal.

There are so many students who are very precious outside, but they are still led to do farm work. Scholars have seen many people in the West. Gradually, they have established a new value, such as those who are not divided into grains and are not diligent in the four bodies. No matter who you are, they are looked down upon. Do you think you are a master and benefactor, and they have brain disease. What are you here to show?

Yang Ya feels like a scholar meets a soldier.

Ma Wensheng glanced at Pi Liang meaningfully: "This is the drawing drawn by the son-in-law, Duwei Fang Jifan."

"What..." Pi Liang's arrogance was immediately dispelled: "Mr. Prince...?"

Ma Wensheng said: "Since Eunuch Pi believes that this is the responsibility of the drawings, then I will report to the truth that this is what you said, not what I said."

Pi Liang's face suddenly became stiff.

The anger gradually disappeared, and he forced a smile out: "We may not mean this, after all, no one can escape the relationship if such a vicious thing happened, right?"

But Ma Wensheng picked up the drawings and immediately began to ask the relevant personnel.

After this question, I realized that the problem was indeed on the drawings.

The craftsmen built a cannon according to the drawing method.

Today I plan to try the power of this cannon.

Who knew that after loading the medicine, the cannon exploded with a bang, sparks splashed everywhere, and a room was burned. Fortunately, the people who tested the cannon were prepared and were injured, but no one died.

Ma Wensheng frowned and looked at Pi Liang and said, "Since it's really a problem with the drawings, then... the prince-in-law is indeed irrefutable. It's better to report this matter based on the facts."

Pi Liang shook his head: "We don't know anything, this is what Mabutang said himself."

Ma Wensheng was annoyed: "This is a huge matter. Your Majesty issued an order to build cannons. How much money and grain did these cannons cost? They all have to be sent to the border town for the soldiers. Now there is a problem with the drawings. So much manpower and material resources are wasted. As a result... it was created to kill the enemy but kill the soldiers. How could it be that they didn't know anything? Eunuch Pi, as a human being, not only to seek profit and avoid harm, but also to be conscience. We are all serving the court. Other things can be careless. How can we beat this matter? You don't dare to offend people now, so... well, it's not a problem with the drawings, but also a problem with the eunuch in the factory."

"We...we..." Pi Liang stuttered: "Okay, report it according to the truth."

Immediately afterwards, the eunuchs from the palace hurried to the Warehouse with drawings and oral narratives from the Ministry of War, Ministry of Works, and eunuchs in the factory.

Because of this shock, the monarch and ministers frowned in the entire warm cabinet.

Although it was not very big, maybe after a few days, everyone forgot about it.

But the one who happened was Wang Gongchang. Everyone in the palace could see the firelight of Wang Gongchang and the sound of explosion and vibration, but many people could feel it. Who knew that there would be any rumors then?

When the eunuchs arrived, Emperor Hongzhi had a stern face.

The eunuch was busy reporting.

After hearing that it was a problem with the drawings, Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Come and take the drawings."

The drawings are sent.

Emperor Hongzhi remembered it very clearly that this drawing was presented by Fang Jifan. Out of the trust of the other party, he immediately ordered the Ministry of War to supervise the construction, and the Ministry of Revenue also allocated money and grain, but who knew... the cannon was not built according to the drawing, and it also caused a small chaos.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't understand the things on the drawings, so he handed them over to Liu Jian and others for a look.

Liu Jian naturally couldn't understand it very well, and didn't know where the problem was, so he didn't say anything and continued to circulate it.

When he arrived in Li Dongyang's hands, Li Dongyang looked heartbroken: "Oh... If the old minister remembers correctly, the Ministry of Revenue distributed 70,000 taels of silver for this cannon. Because this cannon is unique, it needs a new model, and a new fire kiln was specially built... The 70,000 taels of silver is considered a waste of water."
