Wu Yunqing was speechless. He knew that Big Ming's situation was not good at the moment, but there were not many officials at this time.
Those bailiffs and whatnot were all minor officials. Officials were not considered officials. At this time, there was no salary.
Seeing Guo Yunhou's stingy look, Wu Yunqing clenched his teeth.
"Hehe, it's fine. I'll make up for the excess.
Since I have given you enough salary, I will punish you severely for corruption. Don't say that you didn't warn me.”
All the courtiers knelt down to thank him.
The matter was almost discussed. It was already noon when the court session ended.
Today's meeting was finally completed for Wu Qingyun. Fortunately, Wei Zhongxian's party members helped him and did not let those civil servants pester him.
Fortunately, the war in the north had temporarily stopped, giving Da Ming a chance to catch his breath.
Wu Qingyun knew that the Qing Dynasty's internal affairs were unstable because the emperor had just ascended the throne.
Since they had suffered a military defeat, they would not act rashly for the time being. However, Koryo would suffer. Wu Qingyun remembered that it was at this time that the Manchu Dynasty conquered Koryo.
It was impossible for the Ming Dynasty's army to go to the rescue, but it was time to deal with the Liaodong problem.
Yuan Chonghuan had been reinstated, but the transportation in ancient times was not good, so Yuan Chonghuan had only returned to the capital now.
Wu Yunqing didn't know what to say about Yuan Chonghuan. Was this guy a loyal official or a treacherous official?
However, it was obvious that this guy was very capable.
Wu Qingyun summoned Yuan Chonghuan. After the young eunuch led Yuan Chonghuan in, he knelt down and bowed. After Wu Qingyun gave him a seat, he sized him up.
Yuan Chonghuan wasn't very tall. He was a little dark and thin, but he was very energetic.
"Yuan Qing won the great victories of Ningyuan and Jinzhou, defeating the Manchu Qing army and raising the prestige of our Ming Empire.
How could such talent be easily buried?
I plan to let you be the governor of Zhejiang. Are you willing?”
Yuan Chonghuan knew that he could make a comeback and was overjoyed.
" I think it's best for me to go to Liaodong. It has always been my ambition to expel the Tartars…" Yuan Chonghuan was quite bold and dared to bargain with the Emperor.
"En, it's not bad that you have this ambition, but this one thinks that Great Ming's greatest crisis is still within!
I asked you to go because you have a heavy responsibility…"
Wu Yunqing said slowly," How can my Great Ming Seal the Sea withstand it?
The maritime trade was still going on, but it had become smuggling!
So I want you to build a navy, an invincible navy!@
I have a blueprint of a ship here. You have to get someone to make it as soon as possible. I also allow you to use the cannon and install it on the ship!”
Yuan Chonghuan was a little troubled." Your Majesty, I don't know much about naval warfare, nor do I know how to build ships…"
"Who said that you're going to make it yourself? It's fine as long as you supervise others!
Go, I have high hopes for you!"
Uh, Yuan Chonghuan was speechless. There was no way to refuse the Emperor's orders!
Unfortunately, he had been plotting in the north for several years!
What a pity, the smuggling business there!
The reason why Yuan Chonghuan and Wang Yichen did not get along and why Yuan Chonghuan wanted to squeeze out Mangui was obviously because of benefits.
Yuan Chonghuan had been operating in Ningjin for a long time. He had joined hands with those aristocratic families to smuggle goods and had obtained a lot of benefits.
However, Wang Yichen and Man Gui were stubborn. Yuan Chonghuan revealed his intentions to test the two of them, but the two of them did not know how to appreciate favors.
Yuan Chonghuan's personality was not good and he was very independent, but most importantly, the two of them were blocking his path to wealth!
Originally, he thought that he would be sent to Liaodong this time, but he didn't expect that His Majesty would send him to the south to engage in the navy.
Alright, so be it. Seaborne trade seemed to be more profitable!
Yuan Chonghuan was happy again. When he thought of the boatloads of gold and silver, he was overjoyed!
"Haha, look at me, Yuan Chonghuan. The navy is nothing!”Yuan Chonghuan regained his fighting spirit!
On this day, Wu Yunqing was doing carpentry.
This time, he was making a phoenix. This phoenix was different from the sparrow. It was a thousand times more complicated!
It was three to four meters long, with complicated patterns on it and more than two hundred parts…
Wu Yunqing had been working on it for a few days, but he had only made one-tenth of the parts.
As he listened to Cao Huachun read the memorial, Cao Huachun directly skipped over the details and only talked about the main points.
There were also some memorials that did not express their intentions. After talking for a long time, they still did not talk about the matter.
He immediately got someone to write down the reply." Get to the point. Don't talk nonsense!”
" Your Majesty, an imperial envoy is impeaching the Emperor's estate. He said that the Emperor's estate is expanding day by day, causing the people to suffer…"
Cao Huachun raised his head to look at the Emperor's expression and continued," Cough cough, this is the imperial manor near the capital. It has a name…"
Wu Yunqing listened carefully. After Cao Huachun spoke for a while, he was very surprised.
The number of imperial estates in the Ming Dynasty had always been different. Since Zhu Di, each generation had annexed a lot, and in the end, it actually reached more than two million mu.
