"Your Majesty, why are you looking at me like this?"
Seeing Liu Deng looking straight at him, Tian Suning really felt a little scared in his heart.
"I have worked hard for you in the past two years. You have done a good job here. If you want to, it will be too easy to become a prefect in Lingnan based on your achievements!"
Liu Deng thought for a while, looked into Tian Suning's eyes and asked.
"this……"
Tian Suning's body trembled, this was really a good opportunity for him.
Although Lingnan is a long way away, after all, there is no war in the entire Lingnan territory.
If you had been a prefect at this time, as long as you worked hard for a few years, you would be able to become a high-ranking official with two thousand dan in the future.
However, as he gets older, he seems to have lost his original ambition.
After thinking carefully for a long time, he finally gritted his teeth and shook his head hard.
"Why is this? This is a rare opportunity. The Han Dynasty is hiring people everywhere now. With your ability, it will not be impossible to enter the court in the future!"
"Forget it, I no longer have that ambition. Besides, although this city is doing well now, if the successor is not good enough, I am afraid that in a few years, the foundation here will be ruined. ”
"Don't be nervous. I'm just asking what you mean. You've done a good job in this position. If you don't feel wronged, you can stay in this position for as long as you like."
Seeing his nervous look, Liu Deng smiled, then patted his shoulder and said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, the princess and the children are behind. It's such a hot day. It's up to you to decide where I will live."
Although his original background was indeed a bit unclean, based on what he has done over the years, Liu Deng deserves to be more tolerant of him.
"The lower official is confused, the lower official is confused."
Hearing what Liu Deng said, Tian Suning realized that after struggling for so long, the princess and the others were still waiting behind.
"I have arranged two residences for the king in the city and outside the city. I wonder what the king wants? The residence outside the city can see the sea, and it is also much spacious. What does the king want?"
"Anyway, this is your territory, so we'll do as you wish."
Liu Deng never cared much about these basic necessities, as long as he could get by.
On the contrary, it was the 100-foot-long ship that Liu Deng was really looking forward to now.
This thing is not only the hard work of those craftsmen, this thing is also his hard work!
Whether it was the original design or the solution of various problems in the process, apart from not personally participating in the construction work, he was no less worried than the craftsmen about other aspects.
The front foot had just settled down, and Du Ziteng, the back foot, was already waiting at the entrance of the palace.
He is different from others. After all, he was originally from Liu Deng's side. Now even if he is on his own, he is still much closer than others.
"You kid, how come we haven't seen each other for two years, and now we're still friends?"
When he saw Du Ziteng, Du Ziteng was too reserved.
Looking at his reserved look, Liu Deng said with a smile.
"Hey, aren't I afraid of breaking the king's rules?"
Hearing what Liu Deng said, Du Ziteng immediately chuckled, hunched his back and shrank his neck. He suddenly changed from the mighty man before to a bitch.
"Okay, just do the same as before. How is the ship doing now?"
Liu Deng rolled his eyes at him and asked Zhao Wengu to serve him a bowl of iced sour plum soup before asking.
"Back to your Majesty, the assembly has been completed and all the weapons have been put on the ship. Now we are waiting for your order to go to sea!"
As soon as Du Ziteng came to the boat, his whole spirit was completely different.
An expert naturally has the dignity of an expert. He has stayed in this shipping bureau for such a long time in the past two years, which has really turned him from a layman into a real expert.
"In that case, what are you waiting for? It's better to choose a different day. I think it will be tomorrow."
Liu Deng also suddenly became energetic.
He had waited too long for this ship.
The remaining large ships of the same class as the Jinyang have already been assembled and can be launched directly into the sea, but Liu Deng has always been waiting for it!
Waiting for this maritime overlord who is almost invincible in this day and age.
Originally, he wanted to invite the emperor over.
After all, so many people had been stolen from the emperor, but the affairs of the court in the past two years had been too complicated.
Even the emperor can't help himself now.
Liu Deng's invitation can only be delayed again and again, and it has been delayed until now, and it is still far away.
However, although the emperor did not come, he personally gave this giant ship a resounding name.
Kunpeng!
"promise!"
Hearing what Liu Deng said, Du Ziteng suddenly became excited. This giant ship, which took two years to build, was finally going to go to sea.
In addition to this giant ship, four large ships were delivered at once. As long as the final test results are satisfactory, the strength of Liu Deng's Armada will be expanded several times.
"We have a big ship, but how are the training of the sailors and captains?"
No matter what kind of fleet it is, no matter how advanced the warship is. In the end, someone still needs to control it. Without someone, everything is just zero.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Lao He and the others have worked hard over the years. In the past two years, they have almost killed all the big fish near the coast."
Speaking of this, Du Ziteng hurriedly said with a smile.
"In that case, then go back and tell him so that he can make good preparations. I will go over to watch the ceremony in person tomorrow morning."
"promise!"
After talking about the business, the two chatted some more, and waited until the evening before Liu Deng let Du Ziteng go.
"Father, can you take me with you tomorrow?"
As soon as Du Ziteng stepped forward, Xiao Shitou ran over with a model of a large ship in his hands.
"Of course, no problem. From now on, these will all be your property. It's only natural for you to go and take a look."
Until now, Liu Deng only has one son.
This made Liu Deng feel a little regretful, but he also felt a little more love for Xiao Shitou.
Although this child is very naughty, as Zhao Wengu said, he is still kind in nature.
Whenever he did something wrong, he would never blame it on his servants. Even sometimes, if the servants around him did something wrong, he would be the first to take responsibility for it.
There were even a few times when he was beaten because of this, but even so, in the end he insisted that it was him.
