Chapter 173: Chen Zheng doesn't want money?
After seeing Tang Yi withdraw, Xiao Zan's eyes rolled and said, "Father, how big can this whaling team be?"
Xiao Ding glanced at Xiao Zan and smiled, "It depends on how much money Tang Yi can get."
"What if I can't get the money?" Xiao Zan asked, "Wilder team can't be built?"
Xiao Ding pondered for a moment and said, "Tang Yi is also the Shangshu I promoted. Isn't it so incompetent, right?"
"The father's vision is naturally not wrong, but time is too late, so we need to form it as soon as possible to avoid the long night and dreams!" Xiao Zan said.
Xiao Ding raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "What do Zaner thinks? Tell me."
Xiao Zan suddenly felt energetic and said, "It is better for the father to hand over this matter to the son minister. The son minister will definitely live up to the father's expectations."
"Do you have a way to get the money?" Xiao Ding asked.
Xiao Zan did not answer directly, but said, "You have to think of a way. Shangshu Tang can't think of it alone. If you add your son, you may think of it."
"Haha, why did Zaner suddenly become so concerned about this?" Xiao Ding asked.
Xiao Zan thought for a while and said, "It is the unshirkable responsibility of my son to share my worries for my father. Seeing that my father was upset about this matter, my son was very uneasy, so he volunteered to do this."
Xiao Ding laughed again and said, "Have I ever bothered by this?"
"Ah?" Xiao Zan was stunned, not knowing how to answer.
Judging from the conversation between the monarch and his ministers just now, it seems that Xiao Ding is indeed not very concerned about forming this whaling team. It is more like it was said casually during the sacrifice. It doesn’t matter whether it succeeds or not.
Seeing that Xiao Zan was a little confused, Xiao Ding stood up, walked to him, patted Xiao Zan on the shoulder, and said, "I feel very relieved if you have this heart. Since that's the case, I will leave this matter to you. I will not ask about it anymore. Everything will be agreed upon by you and Tang Yi."
Xiao Zan was very surprised. He didn't expect that this matter would be left to him in full?
Xiao Zan, who reacted, quickly stood up and bowed to Xiao Ding, saying, "My son thanked my father, I must do my best to form a whaling team to live up to my father's expectations."
"Okay, just do your best." Xiao Ding said, "I see that your mind is no longer on the books, so let's go first."
"My son is leaving!" Xiao Zan exited the study.
As soon as he walked out of the study, Xiao Zan ran away like a wild horse that had broken away.
The Minister of War Tang Yi did not go far at this time and did not get the decree he wanted from the emperor. He was a little unhappy and slowly thought about where to get money from and form a whaling team.
"Tang Shangshu, Tang Shangshu!"
A scream came from behind, and Tang Yi frowned and turned around.
Tang Yi saw Prince Xiao Zan running towards him, shouting while running, and waving his arms.
Tang Yi quickly stopped and when Xiao Zan ran to him, he quickly bowed and said, "I wonder what the Crown Prince calls me?"
Xiao Zan ran out of breath, put his hands on his hips, and waited for his breathing to breathe well, then said, "I have important things to discuss with Shangshu Tang. Fortunately, you didn't go far."
"I wonder what your highness is doing to ask me for? I still have official duties, can I talk about it another day?"
Tang Yi’s words were very tactful and his meaning was indeed very clear, that is, I don’t want to talk to you, so you can walk away and stay away from me.
Everyone in Kyoto knows that the prince is a bit unreliable and always comes casually when doing things. Who knows what he is discussing with him?
Moreover, since ancient times, ministers and princes stood too close to each other, which was a taboo for officials, and Tang Yi did not want to arouse the emperor's suspicion.
"Nothing is more important than ours!" Xiao Zan said firmly.
When Tang Yi heard this, his heart skipped a beat. When did he become us? This is not very good.
"Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Tang Yi asked. He had to figure it out, otherwise he would be uneasy.
"Of course it's the whaling team's business!" Xiao Zan said, "The father has an order. Gu Quanru will be responsible for the whaling team's business in the future. He will no longer ask about it, let us discuss it."
"Ah?" Tang Yi's mouth opened wide, as if he had heard something strange and strange, and he looked disbelieving.
Xiao Zan looked at Tang Yi's expression and was a little unhappy, saying, "Why does Shangshu Tang look like this? Do you don't believe in orphans?"
Tang Yi reacted and quickly denied: "I don't dare, I just didn't expect it."
"Well, if you don't believe it, you can ask your father. I am not afraid of confrontation." Xiao Zan said confidently.
How could Tang Yi go to the emperor to verify? Besides, he saw Xiao Zan beside him just now in the study. It must be that after he left, Xiao Zan asked for the job.
At that time, seeing His Majesty's insignificance, it was very possible to hand over such an important matter to the prince.
Since the matter has been settled, Tang Yi has no other ideas, so he must not cooperate.
But this is good. If the prince goes to the Ministry of Revenue to ask for money, then Yu Youguang must not give face. Even if he doesn't give enough, he can give some.
Tang Yi blinked and said, "Your Highness, what should we do next?"
Xiao Zan thought for a while and said, "What are the plans of Shangshu Tang? Gu Xiang listened to your opinion first."
Tang Yi wanted to roll his eyes, but he held it back, paused, and said, "Why might your highness go to the Ministry of Revenue to take a look. Maybe Yu Youguang will give His Highness some face and allocate some money and food?"
"Let Gu go and find that Yu Youguang?" Xiao Zan asked back.
Tang Yi nodded and said nothing, but his big eyes were full of hope.
But Xiao Zan waved his hand and refused very simply, saying, "That Yu Youguang is stingy and stingy. I don't like him, so I won't go to the Ministry of Revenue."
Tang Yi was disappointed and said a little depressedly: "If it weren't for this, where can I find money to build a sea boat!"
"Look for Chen Zheng to build a ship!" Xiao Zan said with a presumption.
Tang Yi was stunned and said, "It's Chen Zheng who offered sea whale bones to help build the sea whale bone temple?"
"Yes, it's him!" Xiao Zan nodded.
"Chen Zheng is rich?" Tang Yi asked. He had seen Chen Zheng, but he could not tell how rich he looked.
Xiao Zan shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether Chen Zheng has money or not. The key is that he can build a sea boat for us!"
"Does Chen Zheng need money to build a ship?" Tang Yi still didn't understand.
Xiao Zan looked at the left and right and whispered to Tang Yi: "Can Shu Tang know that there is a patrol team in Dongyang County now?"
Tang Yi nodded. This time he went out, he went to Dongyang County to take a look. It was indeed a good team of sea ships.
"What does the patrol team have to do with Chen Zheng?" Tang Yi asked.
Xiao Zan snorted and said, "The ship of the patrol team was built by Chen Zheng, and as far as I know, I didn't ask for money from the magistrate of Dongyang County at that time."
