In the study room, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and let out a shocking roar:
"Li Jin, what the hell does he want to do?"
"Take away all the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works. Does he want the Ministry of Works to be paralyzed directly?"
"If the craftsmen are not here, should we let the officials build houses and roads for us?"
"Biao'er, go and call Li Jin over immediately. We have to chop him down to eliminate the hatred in our hearts."
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's face flushing. He knew that this was just Zhu Yuanzhang's angry words, so he could only stand aside and persuade him:
"Father, Li Jin only borrowed the craftsmen for his own use and will exchange them back within a few days."
"Why are you so angry?"
"Besides, Li Jin must have picked up those craftsmen just for the shipyard."
"We have invested so much money in it, wouldn't it be beneficial to us if the shipyard builds it sooner?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the name of the shipyard, he became even more furious and said angrily:
"I don't know what despicable means Li Jin used to deceive your queen mother, so that your queen mother willingly invested five million taels."
"Let me see, your mother is also a little old and confused."
"How good would it be to keep such a lot of money in internal funds? It's a sin to give it to that bastard Li Jin."
"Ahem!"
At this moment, Queen Ma coughed at the door.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face, which was still red with anger, suddenly froze when he saw Queen Ma.
Then he forced a smile, gave a fake smile, hurried to Queen Ma's side, and said:
"Hey, sister, why are you here!"
"If I don't come, I'm afraid next time I won't just be an old fool."
Empress Ma was full of yin and yang and mercilessly dealt with Zhu Yuanzhang.
"I don't know who is saying bad things about me behind my back. They even say that I am old and stupid. How heartless!"
"Who? Who said that? If we find out, we must beat him up."
Zhu Yuanzhang said, and rolled up his sleeves, looking like he wanted to take action.
Queen Ma rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang angrily and said:
"Okay, stop pretending."
"The Longjiang Bao Shipyard is about to be built. Li Jin invited me to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Do you want to go?"
"If you don't go, then I will go with Biao'er!"
"What, is it built?"
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't believe his ears. In just two months, Li Jin had already built a shipyard?
It must have been because the construction was extremely small, so I hurriedly finished it and wanted to start building the ship.
But thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more angry. Li Jingang had just received Empress Ma's five million investment and actually built the shipyard?
Not much money was spent here, and it must have been embezzled by Li Jin alone.
Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more angry as he thought about it, and said through gritted teeth:
"Go, why not?"
"If he dares to take our money, I will make him spit it out with interest!!"
Empress Ma couldn't help but be a little baffled when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden rage.
Looking at Zhu Biao, I found that Zhu Biao also looked shocked and didn't know what happened!
After the three of them decided, the family of three took the carriage together and headed to Shanghu County.
But this time, Queen Ma suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang take a boat this time, because according to Li Jin, the waterway from Yingtian Mansion to Shanghu County has now been opened.
Zhu Yuanzhang was naturally noncommittal, but he wanted to see what kind of medicine Li Jin was selling in his gourd?
After the three of them took the boat at Jiangpu Ferry, they went down the river and arrived at the boundary of Shanghu County in less than a day.
Feeling the convenience of the waterway, Zhu Biao couldn't help but sigh:
"Taking a boat is still much faster than a horse-drawn carriage."
"It would be great if all transportation under the sun could be transported by water. It would at least save a lot of time."
Zhu Yuanzhang said:
"Rivers have the convenience of rivers, and land routes also have the functions of land routes."
"If all the official roads in the world could be built like the roads in Shanghu County, it would be much more convenient."
Queen Ma didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two. She was observing the situation on the riverside attentively.
Li Jin once told her that the pier in Shanghu County was very huge and looked bigger than Jiangpu Ferry.
When you see a huge lighthouse, you can stop the boat and dock.
Queen Ma was looking for the huge lighthouse at the moment and wanted to see what the shipyard she invested in would look like.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Empress Ma's absent-minded look and hurriedly asked:
"What's wrong, girl, what are you looking at?"
"Li Jin said that the built port has a tall lighthouse. I am observing where that lighthouse is?"
Empress Ma told Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao what Li Jin told her, and asked them to help her read more.
Zhu Biao heard this and quickly looked around to see where the tall lighthouse was.
But after looking for a long time, I couldn't find the lighthouse.
The surface of the river is extremely wide, and as far as the eye can see, it is endless.
Zhu Biao searched along the river for a long time, but did not see the lighthouse that Queen Ma mentioned.
Zhu Yuanzhang next to him said directly:
"Sister, you must have been deceived by that bastard Li Jin. Where is the beacon?"
"We think he just deceived you."
Queen Ma didn't believe it and said firmly:
"It's impossible. Li Jin made it very clear."
"That lighthouse was built to guide ships that have lost their way at night."
"It won't be nothing, and it will be very tall, and it won't be based on nothing."
When Zhu Biao heard this, he suddenly remembered that he had seen a huge thing just now. He thought it was a mountain at first, but now it seems that it was some kind of lighthouse?
"Father, what do you see there?"
Zhu Biao pointed to a raised black spot in the distance and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang followed the direction of Zhu Biao's finger and looked around. When he saw what was in the distance clearly, Zhu Yuanzhang felt numb instantly! !
