However, Zhao Zhiqiang also told them clearly that in the navy, the treatment is good, the pay is high, but the rules are also strict! You are used to being undisciplined. If you can't stand the control of military law, then you will be killed if you go. You might as well just sell your own men at a good price!
Anyway, there are countless refugees at this time. If you sell your men to the navy, you can recruit a new group of people among the refugees, and you can also get some free money! Therefore, this idea received full applause from everyone, who all praised him for being considerate of his brothers!
So when Butler Xu and Li Dazui entered, it was the time when the atmosphere was high, and everyone was drinking and blushing! Fortunately, these people still retained a sense of Qingming, and when they saw Butler Xu coming in, they hurriedly packed their clothes.
Butler Xu was not surprised that these naval officers could quickly get along with the navy. After a few sentences, he repeated what he had just said, which naturally got the approval of the naval officers. Of course, Li Dezhou's wallet is a bit emptied again!
That night, when the drumbeat of the curfew ended and everyone had returned home safely, an ordinary-looking carriage appeared on the long street.
Although this carriage looks very ordinary, only those who know the goods can see that the materials used on the carriage are extremely exquisite, and the horses pulling the carriage are also extraordinary! Moreover, the six people in the car are all good-looking and strong-bodied athletes. All this shows that the people in the car must be of extraordinary status!
Not long after the carriage ran along the long street, it arrived at the Nanjing Guarding Eunuch's Mansion. The guards of the Eunuch Mansion seemed to have been prepared. As soon as the carriage arrived, the middle door opened wide and the carriage was welcomed in!
The carriage arrived directly at the atrium before stopping. The coachman raised the curtain, and the entourage put down the step stool, and then helped an old man get out of the carriage. This person is Wei Guogong, who has not shown up since returning from Beijing.
As soon as Wei Guogong stood firm, a white-faced and beardless old eunuch came over. This eunuch is Zhao Quan, the eunuch guarding Nanjing. Now in this mansion, two of the three most powerful people in Nanjing City have gathered.
Eunuch Zhao stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "The Duke is in great spirits tonight! Did you hear that our family just got some Dahongpao and couldn't help it?"
Wei Guogong smiled and said: "You are right! I just heard that you have Dahongpao here, so I came to loot it!"
Eunuch Zhao laughed loudly when he heard this and said, "You are such an old man, you actually came to rob our house! We haven't even told you how many rewards you got from the capital!"
Wei Guogong twirled his beard and said: "Although I went to the capital this time on orders, it is purely a private matter. Moreover, Long Live Master's place is extremely poor, and the inner treasury has just begun to improve, so I am too embarrassed to do it!"
Eunuch Zhao said angrily: "Then you come to our house to rob us?"
The two of them just talked and laughed and went straight to the main hall to sit down respectively. After that, a maid presented the top-quality Dahongpao. After the two of them tasted it, they started talking about it. However, the topic still revolves around Wei Guogong's visit to the capital some time ago.
After all, for eunuchs, they pay attention to every move of the royal family. Otherwise, you will lose the favor of the royal family. They will be ruined in an instant!
After some conversation, Eunuch Zhao finally found out why Wei Guogong, who had been stationed in Nanjing all year round, went to the capital. It turned out that the young emperor issued a decree to invite him there, and then introduced him to Liu Haojia, who was not Wu Ningbo at the time, and never summoned him again. This surprised Eunuch Zhao!
But then Wei Guogong told him everything that was happening in the capital. After all, Eunuch Zhao was not very well-informed in Nanjing, and even the news that came through the newspaper and the palace's informants might not be fully understood, so there were many As soon as Wei Guogong explained the matter, he connected it!
When the two of them finished speaking, Eunuch Zhao twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand and said, "It seems that Uncle Wu Ning is so favored by the Holy Family that he is almost as good as Lu Bing from the previous dynasty!"
Wei Guogong said: "In terms of power, he is a little inferior to Lu Bing, but in terms of holy family members, he is almost the same! Moreover, Wu Ningbo is extremely reliable in doing things, and he can be said to be one step at a time! His achievements are even criticized. There’s no way to blame him. He’s much safer than Lu Bing!”
Eunuch Zhao laughed when he heard this and said, "You admire him so much. Could it be that this visit is for him?"
To help him become a lobbyist? It's not impossible to ask our family to help. Our family likes real money. As long as these things are sent to us, our family will naturally help those who need help! "
Wei Guogong immediately burst into laughter, and after he had stopped laughing, he said, "He really didn't ask me to bring any money this time! But he did tell me that he had another gift sent to me, and he said that you would definitely like it!"
Eunuch Zhao leaned forward slightly and said, "What kind of gift is it? It won't work if it's wrong!"
Duke Wei blinked and spit out two words: "Holy Family!"
Eunuch Zhao was stunned for a moment, then smiled! Then he seemed to be talking to himself: "It is indeed a good gift! Holy family!"
Wei Guogong did not explain anything further, he just twirled his beard and smiled! Because he knew that Eunuch Zhao would definitely agree to help Liu Haojia! With his well-informed level, he naturally knew how much face Liu Haojia had in front of Emperor Wanli!
In particular, he should know that many of the things Liu Haojia did were for Emperor Wanli! Not to mention anything else, the treasury alone has earned an incredible amount of money with the help of Liu Haojia in the past two years! The internal treasury seems to be always short of money, so Emperor Wanli will support Liu Haojia for this!
And this time, as long as you help Liu Haojia, it is equivalent to helping Emperor Wanli! Although most of the credit must go to Liu Haojia, the emperor will not forget those who contributed! It doesn't matter if he forgets, Eunuch Zhao is sure to remind him!
And don’t think that when he reaches his position, he has no desires and needs. He still has my relatives and so many godsons and grandchildren in the palace. For them, he will accept Liu Haojia’s favor!
After a while, Eunuch Zhao said with a smile: "My lord, this little hozen is really quite capable! He first persuaded Lord Long Live to create an independent navy, and then transferred the navy to the royal name. , and now he is tinkering with the forbidden sea, probably because he wants to monopolize the profits of sea trade! He is really arrogant! I just don’t know what he wants our family to do?"
Wei Guogong smiled and said: "What he is asking you to do is very simple, which is to say hello to the weaving workshops and other workshops below. Just do what you did in the past this year. Don't listen to someone's rumor that the sea is forbidden." Let’s collect raw silk and stop firing porcelain. Someone will support us!”
