May I thank Your Majesty for your kindness! "
Li Zheng happily looked at An Gouer who was kneeling on one knee: "An Aiqing, don't worry, the rewards haven't been finished yet!"
"Yes, I'm rude!"
"Female An Jianghe as the Marquis of Haining, hereditary, and grant him a mansion, ten thousand taels of silver, a hundred taels of gold, a hundred bolts of silk, and ten pearls!"
"ah?"
An Gouer looked at Li Zheng blankly. It was too fast to be granted the title of Marquis. You must know that it took several years for the eldest brother to climb from Baron to the position of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!
I only took one trip to the Western Sea and surpassed my elder brother. Isn’t this a little too fast?
When An Gou'er went to the West as an envoy, Liu Dashao's Western expedition had not yet begun. Naturally, he didn't know the news that Liu Mingzhi had been granted the title of Duke, and he was a little confused for a while!
Li Zheng looked at the stunned An Gouer in surprise: "What? An Aiqing is not satisfied with this title. You have laid the foundation for Dalong for eternity. Being granted the title of Marquis in one leap is already considered the highest reward. No matter how high it is, The other lovers will not be happy!"
"I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness!"
"No gift! This is the reward you deserve. You opened my eyes and let me know that although the dragon is big, it is just a drop in the ocean in the vast world. You have designated a direction for me, and based on this, I will be granted the title of Marquis. You got it by sacrificing your life to go to the West!"
"Yes, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
The elderly people in the palace all looked at An Gou'er with envy, sighing secretly that they had lived like dogs all these years! I originally thought that a young Lord Dingguo could fly fast enough, but now there is another master who can fly faster.
Directly surpassing the man, son, and uncle became the Marquis of Haining!
A new powerful figure who is a Lord Marquis and is also the governor of two ports was born under the witness of himself and others. A dazzling new star is rising in Dalong's court!
"Tan Haiqing, deputy envoy of the fleet, is hereditary as Hai'anbo. He will be given a mansion and a thousand taels of gold!"
"Your Majesty, Tan Hai, would like to thank you for your kindness!"
Tan Haiqing knelt down and knelt down with a smile. Although he did not immediately claim the title of lord, the title of Earl was already considered a mid-level figure among the lords, and he could be said to be a proud ancestor!
"Guo Yang, the commander of the frigates..."
Li Zheng was offering a large reward, and Young Master Liu quietly tugged on the robe of Jiang Yuanming, the Minister of Revenue in front of him!
Lao Jiang was twirling his fingers and muttering like a chrysanthemum, when his train of thought was suddenly interrupted by Young Master Liu. He turned around and glared at Young Master Liu with a gloomy face: "What are you doing!"
The corners of Young Master Liu's mouth twitched: "Old Jiang, you can fall out faster than a dog. How did I offend you? It's not the time for you to beg me to settle your bad debts!"
"Hey... Mr. Liu, you are the left minister of the Ministry of household affairs, and I am the first-rank minister of the Ministry of household affairs. Your immediate boss, is this the way you talk to your boss? Do you think I still use it now? Does it look at your face? I made a profit. I made a profit by going to the Western Ocean. I spent more than 6 million taels in building sea-going ships and more than 700,000 taels in materials to prepare for the Western Ocean. Governor An made back more than double it all at once. Dalong Now you are not the only one who can make money! I don’t have to rely on you for everything. I stand up from your shadow. Do you know? Ah...haha... ...Haha! I have a hard waist. I am a hard man. Do you know that I am a hard man? If I am angry, there is nothing you can do if I am angry. I am a hard man!"
Lao Jiang looked up to the sky and laughed like crazy. He pointed at Young Master Liu's proud appearance and became as excited as a serf singing!
Li Zheng looked at Jiang Yuanming who was arrogantly roaring at Young Master Liu with an embarrassed expression. If he tried to dissuade him, it would be a bit of a blow to Lao Aiqing's mentality. If he didn't try to dissuade him, he had only said half of the reward and it was quite uncomfortable to hold it back!
The rest of the civil and military officials also looked at Jiang Yuanming in amazement, who was laughing wildly as if there was no one around. Listening to his words to Young Master Liu, they felt so sad that they felt the same way!
A dignified minister actually had to rely on his subordinate Zuo Shilang to survive. It's really frustrating when you think about it carefully!
Young Master Liu looked embarrassed and scratched his forehead and said something to Lao Jiang Nunu, telling him to pay attention to the situation!
Only then did Lao Jiang realize that he was still in the court, his laughter stopped suddenly, and he walked out holding the Chao Hut with an embarrassed look on his face!
"Your Majesty, I have violated the rules of conduct before you. Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
Even so, looking at Lao Jiang's shoulders that kept shrugging and the expression on his face that he was holding back extremely hard, everyone in Chao Wenwu felt that Lao Jiang was holding back the urge to cheer!
Li Zheng waved his hands with a strange expression! "Come on, let's discuss the household matters later!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Old God Jiang knelt down in his seat and took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart!
"Old Jiang, you are a bit like putting down your bowl and scolding your mother!"
Old Jiang glanced at Young Master Liu lightly: "Please call me Shangshu Jiang Shangshu!"
"Uh-huh... Jiang Shangshu, I have a question to ask, please Jiang Shangshu to clarify my doubts!"
"Well, your attitude is quite sincere, let's talk about it, I will definitely give you some advice!"
Young Master Liu looked at the angry old Jiang, clenched his fists tightly, took a deep breath, and calmed down. Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, you bad old man, don't ask for this young master's day, otherwise This young master will definitely let you know what reincarnation is in the way of heaven!
"Jiang Shangshu, I dare to ask you which two ports the governors of these two ports are. Why don't you know?"
"You still have the nerve to say that you go to court for three days to fish and two days to dry the nets. It's weird if you know!"
"Xiaguan has suffered from heatstroke and needs to take a good rest! Please enlighten me!"
"Two ports, Haijin Port and the newly built Haining Port, are both used for berthing of fleets going out to sea in the future! About five days after Governor An's memorial arrived in the capital, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry began to supervise Haining Port is under construction and will be completed within two months!"
"I see, you are the official who oversees everything in the two ports, and is a frontier official!"
"It's not a bad place. Although the place is not big, we will face the entire Western countries in the future! The power and oil in his hands can make everyone jealous. Governor An is still young, and he doesn't know if he can take on this important responsibility! "
Liu Mingzhi looked at Lao Jiang's strange eyes and knew in his heart that these words were meant for him!
The relationship between An Gou'er and himself was clearly known to everyone in the civil and military dynasties. After all, An Gou'er's rise from a white man to the chief officer of the Dragon Fleet was recommended by him!
At that time, he served as the regent and went to the Western Regions. He was thousands of miles away and recommended a white man. His identity must be investigated by the officials before they can make plans!
"Jiang Shangshu, I wonder if Mr. Jiang, you have communicated with your colleagues in the Manchu Dynasty about the letter I left for you before I went to the expedition!"
Lao Jiang glanced around and nodded slightly: "Half of the people bought half of their property and handed over the goods to Governor An to trade with the West. This time they made a lot of money. How they divide it depends on Governor An. , the remaining half of the people plan to wait and see, but now that the harvest is so rich, I don’t know how many people regret it and their intestines are green!"
Liu Mingzhi smiled softly: "Then it's none of Governor An's business. I don't know how to grasp it if I give them a chance. The oil and water in jealousy must at least pass through the colleagues who contributed the money. Governor An doesn't have much responsibility." Pressure, after all, not everyone is willing to share a bite of delicious food when they have their own job!”
Lao Jiang held his mouth and pointed at Young Master Liu and laughed cheerfully: "You little fox!"
"Both each other, old fox, you've got a lot to gain from it, right?"
"I almost emptied my wife's family's fortune to collect fifty thousand taels of goods. I can earn at least three hundred thousand taels!"
"Aren't you afraid of losing everything?"
"The Marquis of Guannei invested 400,000 taels of silver. He is not a fool. I think it is okay not to eat meat and drink soup! It turns out that the people you deal with are all wild cats with sensitive noses!"
"Your Majesty agreed to this matter, and how much interest did he receive?"
"In addition to handing it over to the treasury, the prince's name is 30% of the profit! This is just dry profit, and the bulk of it is the sale of goods from the West! Spices are in short supply, let alone millions of taels of silver!"
"Has a bad heart, does nothing and enjoys millions of taels of interest!"
"Be content, no one can be as cruel as your old man!"
"That's the money we earn based on our skills. I envy you to earn it too!"
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
"Retreat from the court and give a banquet to the ministers in three days!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
