It is said that every woman is different when she is pregnant. Although Gao Yang is pregnant, she is different from other women. Others will vomit and cannot eat, but Gao Yang does not. He should eat and drink. There is no such thing as a sour woman or a spicy woman. All comers are welcome!
This made the whole family dumbfounded. Luo Zhang was even more afraid that Gao Yang would turn into a pig and have difficulty in giving birth. After all, there was a saying for this.
After saying this, his grandmother gave him a severe beating and called him a pig. She praised Gao Yang for being able to eat well and give birth to a fat boy if he ate a lot. This left Luo Zhang speechless.
After three days of companionship, Luo Zhang was a little tired, and his body couldn't bear it. He had to serve Gao Yang and Mei Niang. Both women made Luo Zhang dizzy. Sometimes he thought about those four or five women. How did you manage to have a wife, seven or eight wives, and even three thousand beauties in His Majesty's harem?
Early on the fourth day, Luo Zhang left the morning court and went to the royal study room with his panda eyes. He wanted to discuss the shipyard with His Majesty.
In the imperial study, Luo Zhang walked in under the guidance of Eunuch Huang.
Before Luo Zhang could say his greetings, Li Shimin said with a smile: "Luo Zhang, what's wrong with you? I saw you were lack of energy in the morning, and now that I look closer, even your eyes are swollen!"
Luo Zhang greeted Li Shimin and then said: "Gao Yang is pregnant, and he was afraid that his servants would not be considerate of his service. He has been serving her every day these days, and that's why it's like this!"
Luo Zhang flaunts himself as a model husband, but he is not stupid enough to talk about Mei Niang.
Actually, although he also accompanied Gao Yang, he was not that tired. Most of the work was done by his grandma and several aunts. He just walked around and talked with Gao Yang.
The reason why she looks like this is because she was asked for too much by Mei Niang. It would be terrible to meet a woman who wants children crazy!
After hearing Luo Zhang's answer, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
He knew his daughter better than her father, so he knew what Gao Yang was like, so he didn't have much doubt about Luo Zhang's words.
Li Shimin's words almost made Luo Zhang laugh out loud. Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't ask Gao Yang, otherwise he would have had to braid his hair.
To be honest, Luo Zhang really wanted to ask Li Shimin how he could have many women without getting tired. He also wanted to ask the three thousand beauties in the harem, are you busy?
However, these two questions are just something to think about. If you really dare to ask them, you are afraid that you will be dragged out and beaten immediately.
In Li Shimin's view, if he has his daughter and a concubine, he is greedy and if he doesn't beat him, who will he beat?
This is a typical example of how only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps!
Li Shimin didn't know that Luo Zhang was feeling dirty, so he asked the pen correcting the memorial: "Why did you come to me today?"
When Luo Zhang heard His Majesty's inquiry, he withdrew his mind and then remembered what happened today!
He hurriedly cupped his fists and reported: "Your Majesty, the Dockyard Department has made progress in shipbuilding. Now the offshore ships have been detailed by the ministers, and they are just about to be built now. However, the current dock is too far from Chang'an, and it is not convenient to go back and forth, so Wei Chen is thinking, can I ask your Majesty to grant me a piece of land not far from my Royal Pier to be used as a dock? I have already thought of a name, and I will call it Royal Dockyard. Once this offshore ship is built, it can be launched and sailed. When docked at the Royal Pier, this ship can be used for cargo transportation, and can also be equipped with weapons and used in naval battles! It can be said to serve multiple purposes! It is very convenient to put the shipyard there!"
"Huh? You want to build a dock near the dock?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, I sincerely ask for Your Majesty's permission!" Luo Zhang bowed and saluted.
"Offshore ships? Does that mean that long-distance ships are getting faster?" Li Shimin did not talk about the land grant, but asked about distant sea ships. Obviously, for him, going to Penglai Island is more important. Everything else is just a cloud!
"This long-distance seagoing ship is different from the offshore seagoing ship. In terms of size, the long-distance seagoing ship is several times larger than the offshore seagoing ship. It also needs to be able to withstand the impact of waves for a long time, and... in short, these problems Without solving the problem, it is impossible to build a long-distance sailing ship, but now there has been a breakthrough. If offshore ships are to succeed, there will be experience to draw from, and then long-distance sailing ships will not be far away!" Luo Zhang explained in detail! road.
"This is reasonable. Only by doing more can we understand it better. It just so happens that you have been granted the title of Lantian County Bodhisattva, and the fiefdom has not yet been decided for you. Since you want the fiefdom over there from me, you can simply move thousands of people around that land. I will enclose all my parents to you!" Li Shimin pondered and decided.
These words made Luo Zhang overjoyed. Li Shimin didn't understand the importance of that piece of land, but Luo Zhang did.
As a person from later generations, I am very keen on real estate and land development. It can be predicted that as long as the dock is operational, the land will be a golden treasure land, which is hot and hot. As the owner of the fiefdom, everything in his The people who manage the land and build the houses have to pay him money every year, which is a lot of income. In addition, the houses he builds there are rented out, which is even more impressive.
You know, Luo Zhang plans to build the dock into a town. A thousand acres of land is enough!
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Luo Zhang saluted respectfully.
"Don't worry, I will take 30% of the profit from that dock. Let's not talk about it. You also have the name of the royal family on this dock. How much do you plan to give me?" Li Shimin said with a playful smile.
Luo Zhang, who originally thought Li Shimin was easy to fool, was stunned, and then said with a bitter look on his face: "Your Majesty, I spent nearly one million taels of silver to build that pier, and I gave you 30% of it with the royal money." , I will still pay for the shipyard, and I will still give you 30%, do you think it’s okay?”
"No, 40%, not less than 40%!" Li Shimin said firmly.
"But if this happens, I will die, Your Majesty!" Luo Zhang yelled.
"You are short of 40%. The people in your shipyard are all my people. You don't have to hire people yourself. Do you still want me to settle this account with you?" Li Shimin snorted.
Luo Zhang was stunned. He didn't expect that His Majesty's calculations were even smarter than his own. If His Majesty said it, he really got a big advantage. After all, shipyards are easy to build and talents are rare. Shipbuilding craftsmen are not easy to find. Although he is the director of the Dockyard Department, he is only an official of this department. Generally speaking, the people in the Dockyard Department are His Majesty's people. If His Majesty takes all these people away, then his shipyard will still build a shipyard. Damn it, just close down shop!
Your Majesty is your Majesty, and any white wolf with nothing can be used here. I wanted to fool him, but was trapped by your Majesty. I could only bow and respond: "I will listen to your Majesty's arrangements in everything!"
"Well, that's right. Not everyone can use the word "royal". I won't ask you for the profits of that private store. You have to take care of yourself!" Li Shimin got off his seat and came to Luo In front of Zhang, he patted Luo Zhang on the shoulder and said, the smile in the corners of his eyes couldn't stop!
When Luo Zhang left, Li Shimin looked at his leaving back, still smiling, and murmured: "This boy really makes me overjoyed. I hope you can build a sea-going ship as soon as possible!"
After walking out of the imperial city, Luo Zhang, who was sighing, suddenly changed his face, and he couldn't stop smiling at the corner of his mouth.
Although the shipyard will lose 10% of the profit, it will cost a lot, but it depends on what it is compared to. Compared with the thousand acres of land, the 10% loss is nothing.
With such a large fiefdom, Luo Zhang can do a lot. Not only can he connect it to the dock and encircle it within his fiefdom, but he can also radiate outwards to build villages and towns. The business opportunities here are huge. It's astonishing, and the money he makes will be a lot. When the time comes, Luo Zhang can upgrade whatever martial arts he wants to the master level. I'm afraid he won't have to worry about money anymore!
Of course, Luo Zhang is also worried, that is, whether His Majesty will ask for more profits from him after he reacts. Luo Zhang has also thought about this and directly asked Gao Yang to take charge there. With Mei Niang's shrewd and capable help, this The dock, you can’t lose!
When the time comes, your Majesty can't ask for profits from his daughter!
Looking back at the direction of the palace, Luo Zhang showed a playful smile, Your Majesty, you may have miscalculated this time!
After the fiefdom was decided, Luo Zhang naturally had to select and divide the land. Naturally, this should be done sooner rather than later!
