Hao Fenglou's words did not alarm the turbulence on Zhu Di's face. His face, which was as carved as a knife, had no expression at this moment.

But when he was unintentionally, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Kill the child, cut the heart and dig the lungs.

Even Zhu Di is accustomed to life and death, and even treats human life as a mustard, and feels a little cruel.

Hao Fenglou fell to the ground and said seriously: "There are hundreds of children that Zhu Qian killed. It can be said that both humans and gods are angry. How can the son keep him? Therefore, I beg my father to thoroughly investigate the case. My son has no other requests, but only to beg for the father to be able to be grateful. My son knows that what he has created is a huge disaster and is useless. At this time, he should not ask for anything to his father, but..." Hao Fenglou continued sincerely: "My son only has such a request. If the father is approved, my son will be grateful."

Zhu Di looked at him, angry and funny. After talking to this guy so much, he didn't even regret it. That's all. He wasted so much talk. When he turned around, the guy still bit Zhu Qian.

This guy is a bit serious...

Zhu Di felt indescribable, and was moved by his serious look, but also a little disappointed.

Zhu Di sighed and said, "The shipyard is gone. Now that you have to do this, then... I will fulfill your wish..." Speaking of this, Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh and said, "I have said so much, but you still can't listen. But... Isn't that the same? Just like Fang Xiaoru, Mr. Yao said earlier that Fang Xiaoru should not be killed, saying that 'On the day under the city, he will not surrender, and fortunately do not kill him. Kill Xiaoru, the seeds of studying in the world will be lost.' But I still killed him, which shows that I am not a person who puts the overall situation first, so it's fine. Let me just let you go today."

Zhu Di showed a little desolate. Obviously, he suddenly felt that he was old, and his ambition suddenly seemed to have been poured into a basin of cold water. He had to walk up to the Golden Palace and sit back on the chair, holding the handle of the chair, but suddenly cheer up. He said: "Zheng He..."

Zheng He always appears at any time. When he hears the summons, Zheng He appears quietly like a silent kitten. He bows his body and doesn't move.

Zhu Di said: "Zhu Yong, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei, was bold and unrestrained, and he was so guilty that he rashly mobilized people without the order of the Beizhen Prefecture Si Jun. He ordered the prison to be punished. In addition, there was another thousand household named Wang Xi, who was taken down together. Who is the official on duty in the Beizhen Prefecture Si? Forget it, I don't need to ask, and I will also deal with it. He cannot escape the charge of dereliction of duty."

After Zhu Di said that, Hao Fenglou was stunned for a moment.

Soon, he understood what Zhu Di meant...

Zhu Di didn't plan to do it himself. But it doesn't mean he would give up easily today's matter. Since that's the case, there must be a group of people who have to land.

This is actually the terrible thing about the emperor. Many people even don’t know why they died until they die. Life and death are all in the emperor’s mind. Zhu Di wanted to hit the Jinyiwei, so he picked a few people to do the work. This is considered a “punishment” of Hao Fenglou, and the other happened to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger.

A chill suddenly arose in Hao Fenglou's heart. He didn't care about this kind of behavior that blamed others, but these others were implicated by him. Hao Fenglou almost didn't hesitate and immediately said: "Don't calm down, my son thought..."

Zhu Di suddenly became angry: "Hao Fenglou, I won't deal with you, but now, will I not be able to deal with them?"

Hao Fenglou said, "Father, I have come here to talk about two things. I have already said one thing just now. Can you please tell me about the second thing before asking me to deal with it?"

Zhu Di sneered: "You said."

Hao Fenglou said seriously: "The second thing for Erchen is that Erchen has been in this shipyard for more than a month. In the past month, Erchen has not only been thoroughly investigating the shipyard with the order, but also thinking about the shipbuilding. After thinking about it, Erchen discovered three problems with the shipyard. One of them is a huge expense."

Zhu Di couldn't help but feel amused again. He suddenly realized that he could not keep up with Hao Fenglou's thinking. The shipyard was burning, but you came to study what problems the shipyard had. Isn't this full and full?

But Hao Fenglou was very serious and continued to talk: "In fact, the shipyard is only made of wood and rivets after all. Will it be more material to search a boat than a house? Originally, Erchen didn't believe it, but after careful calculation, he found that a big ship was not just a house that was ruined. Even seven or eight houses were afraid that it would not be as good as a big ship. Later, after investigation, he found that the root of the problem lies in the ship's material. The wood used on this ship was different, but this kind of wood could not be used locally, so the vast majority of them

We had to transport them from Lingnan and Guangxi. These giant trees needed to be recruited. It took several months and thousands of miles to send them to Nanjing Shipyard. Even if three civilians transported a giant tree, it took three months. The expenses for food and drink along the way were probably not small. Not to mention wasting three civilians' efforts, resulting in barren fields and loss of grain production. But to build a ship, it is not just a giant tree. The wood spent is amazing, tens of thousands of thousands. Therefore, although the imperial court allocated millions of money and grain, it was a disappointing result."

Zhu Di couldn't help but nodded at this time, and Hao Fenglou's words were still very reasonable.

Hao Fenglou also said: "The second problem of shipbuilding is that the craftsmen are craftsmen. The court organized craftsmen to work to teach them to serve the court. This is the ancestral law. Emperor Taizu did solve many problems. However, this shipbuilding is not as good as other ones. The requirements required by craftsmen are higher. Although the officials in this shipyard are harsh on craftsmen, they have selfish intentions. There are many acts of exploiting and oppressing craftsmen. Some people regard craftsmen as their own private slaves. These words... I should not say this. This is the ancestral system. The more the ancestral minister says, the more embarrassing the father. But the minister thinks that if he wants to build a good ship as soon as possible, the shipyard will not work."

"The third is to select officials. Most of these officials claim to be noble. Except for the doctor Zhu Qian, who has no idea about shipbuilding, from the official to the head of the office, most of them know nothing about shipbuilding. Can these people build ships?"

"The shipyard has been burned now. I know that my sins are serious and I beg your Majesty to allow Yooner to go to the coastal defense to build a ship."

"What..." Zhu Di was stunned.

Hao Fenglou said seriously: "My son begged my father to allow Yooner to supervise the construction of ships. My son did not need a penny of food in the court. All expenses were supplied by the Hao family's fiefdom. The coastal defense is located in Annan. The wood needed can be obtained locally. My son will definitely live up to the entrustedness of his father..."

"You want to build a ship? Don't the court allocate money and food?"

Hao Fenglou said: "No need."

Zhu Di couldn't help but stand up and said, "Where do you get your money?"

Hao Fenglou said: "Increase revenue and reduce expenditure. On the one hand, building ships in coastal defense can avoid the loss of transportation along the way. On the other hand, there are also good craftsmen on coastal defense, and Nanjing ship craftsmen can also allocate a group of skilled ships to coastal defense. After the ships are built in the future, they will naturally be allocated to the court for use. But my ministers hope that when they go to the West in the future, they will be allowed to ships in Luzhou to follow and transport some cargo."

This is Hao Fenglou's purpose.

If Haigong is a shipbuilding, the cost is indeed much cheaper than that of Nanjing's shipyards. It can be used to greatly improve the shipbuilding industry of Haigong and cultivate a group of craftsmen. The most important thing is that although hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are invested, once the sea defense is gained in the future, the ships built by Haigong will be able to travel freely in the West. In the long run, it is not impossible to even monopolize Western trade.

This is a profitable deal. Although the Hao family seemed to be bleeding again this time to share their worries, Hao Fenglou had already settled the account.

But in Zhu Di's opinion, the significance was different. The original shipbuilding incident completely extinguished his hopes, but he never thought that Hao Fenglou would volunteer. This was fine. The most important thing was that it could save a large amount of expenses from the imperial court. Since the shipyard in Nanjing had already burned, if it was opened again, I don't know how many astronomical money and grain would be needed...

Zhu Di naturally could calculate this account, so he didn't have to spend a little to build a fleet. Although Hao Fenglou said that he would try his best to increase revenue and reduce expenses, Zhu Di thought that Hao Fenglou's move was a bit of a worry for the king. He couldn't help but say, "If this is the case, wouldn't your Hao family suffer a big loss?"

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "The Hao family can have something today, which is given by his father. My son only knows that the court needs to build ships, and the Hao family can do their best."

Zhu Di's mood was extremely relaxed, and he felt the hope rekindled. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, just give it a try. Hao Fenglou, I did not misunderstand you. I am sure about this matter. Besides, I will not pursue all the staff of the Jinyiwei again. If you investigate the Zhu Qian case thoroughly, no matter who is involved, I will punish you severely."

Hao Fenglou hurriedly said, "I obey the order."

Zhu Di couldn't help but smile and said, "Building a ship is a great achievement. I will not be stingy with rewards, but at the moment, the court is really in trouble, I'm afraid it will be difficult to give you any support. Don't blame me."

Hao Fenglou pursed his lips and said, "My son doesn't dare."

Zhu Di laughed in silence and said, "Don't you dare? What are you afraid to do? I can't listen to your words."

Zhu Di's mood is understandable. The situation of shipbuilding is gone, and the matter of shipbuilding is gone. Who knows that there is hope again? Zhu Di still trusts Hao Fenglou. Since Hao Fenglou claims to build a ship, he naturally has gained some insights in shipbuilding.
