Since you are not greedy for official position, then just be greedy for some money.
Anyway, you have to be greedy for something.
No matter how capable a person is in a different place and has no shortcomings, Chen Kan will not be of much use, let alone Zhu Di.
Since he came to the Ming Dynasty, Chen Kan had to worship the great Bodhisattva Zhu Di.
"Sir, everything has been arranged!"
Seeing Shi Wen push open the door and come in, Chen Kan couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
"They are all skilled archers and horses. Huang Gou'er personally leads the team, one man and two horses. When we get to Taiyuan, I guess they will also transport those things back to the capital."
"Um!"
Chen Kan stood up and looked at the sparkling river outside the window under the moonlight.
After pondering for a moment, he calmly ordered: "I guess those people may not be able to wait until Zhu Jixi and I complete the transaction. Are the supplies on each ship ready?"
"A total of nine artillery pieces, two hundred muskets, and three thousand kilograms of gunpowder are all in place. My subordinates are still afraid that they won't come."
A sinister and vicious expression suddenly appeared on Shi Wen's face, which made Chen Kan frown and couldn't help scolding: "Can you look more decent? This time we are the positive characters!"
"I was negligent, sir. Please forgive me."
Hearing this, Shi Wen once again returned to his serious-minded and smiling appearance.
Chen Kan nodded with satisfaction.
That's right. He's obviously not a villain, so why should he have a sinister expression? If he is misunderstood by friendly forces, he will be shot in the face and there will be no room to cry.
"Okay, don't be careless. No one knows how many people will come. Let brothers be alert and don't die on the Grand Canal. There is no money for the dead."
After giving instructions, Chen Kan waved his hand, and Shi Wen wisely exited the room.
Before leaving, Shi Wen looked at Chen Kan's back and couldn't help but shake his head.
He found that he could not see through this young Shangguan more and more. At first, he thought he was a dandy from some family who came to Jinyiwei to gain seniority. Later, he learned that he was actually the disciple of Fang Xiaoru, the Minister of Civil Affairs. Equivalent to a high-class dude.
But after getting along for a long time, he found that this young Shangguan did not have the arrogant and domineering bad temper of other dandy boys, and he also used a stick and a hammer to do things.
But this method of doing things with a stick and a hammer always achieves unexpected results every time.
Call him unafraid of power. When he sees His Majesty, he will feel weak in the legs and flatter you. Call him a flatterer. He will directly offend the commander and the town commander by rescuing officials whose names he cannot even name. Envoy Sir.
Sometimes I think he has a childish nature, and sometimes I think he has a deep scheming mind.
Can't see through, can't see through at all!
Perhaps, this is why he was accepted as a direct disciple by a big boss like Fang Xiaoru.
Chen Kan stood behind the window, looking at the moonlight over the river, and the cute appearance of the cute girl with big eyes appeared in his mind again.
With a faint sigh, Chen Kan looked back.
Love is really annoying.
...
...
In the imperial palace of the capital, there was another person who sighed just as much as Chen Kan. He was no better than someone like Chen Kan who had been used to living in Jiangnan in his past and present lives.
Zhu Yuelan has lived in Peking since she was a child. She has long hated the hot and humid weather in the capital.
Not only is she prone to sweating, but her body is also prone to large patches of hot prickly heat. For a beautiful girl in adolescence, such a thing is absolutely intolerable.
Zhu Yuelan had been looking in the mirror all night. The person in the mirror had his collar buttoned up, revealing a white neck with white teeth and red lips. His eyes were a pool of clear water, like a fifteen-year-old branch. Sixteen-year-old The flower bones are thousands of years old, and their bones are filled with beauty that is thousands of years old.
But a dense cluster of raised dots on the white forehead completely ruined this beautiful scene.
"It's so annoying, so annoying. I want to go back to Peking!"
"I really want to go boating on the Yongding River, I really want to ride a horse, I really want to have sex, I really want to have sex!"
"I don't know if Brother Prince is doing well in Peiping?"
"Xiao Zhanji, stinky Zhanji, dead Zhanji, they didn't even take me with them. I'm so angry."
"It's so hot~"
After looking in the mirror, Zhu Yuelan rolled around on the large bed, while Grandma Rong looked at Zhu Yuelan speechlessly.
The weather is very hot, but the ice in the palace ran out last month.
Although many people in the harem were using saltpeter to make ice, the crushed ice produced every day naturally had to be kept close to Zhu Di first, followed by the nobles in the harem, and then the princes and princesses took their turn.
As for asking the palace to increase the purchase of saltpeter, that is even more fanciful.
Millions of people in the entire capital use saltpeter to make ice to relieve the heat. Moreover, saltpeter is also a war preparation material. Once a large amount of saltpeter arrives, it must be given priority to the War and Ordnance Bureau to make gunpowder. Landlords also There is no food left.
The bit of ice shavings given to Zhu Yuelan every day disappeared every time before he could warm them up.
After rolling on the bed for a while, Zhu Yuelan suddenly jumped up, grabbed Nanny Rong's hand, and asked, "I heard from Song Xin that Disciple Deng took the fleet north to escape the summer heat, right?"
Grandma Rong stroked her forehead and said helplessly: "Who is the disciple?"
"Oh, it's the one we stepped on dog poop last time when we went to the river to cool off!"
Zhu Yuelan rolled her eyes, looking dissatisfied that Aunt Rong didn't know who the disciple was.
Aunt Rong suddenly realized: "Your Highness the Princess is talking about Mr. Chen of Jin Yiwei. That is what happened. However, I heard that he was ordered by Long Live to escort King Jin back to Taiyuan to guard the mausoleum of the old prince. It was not... Take the fleet north to escape the summer heat.”
"I don't care, I don't care, he just took the fleet to escape the summer heat. He's a scumbag and a stinking disciple. He went to escape the summer heat without taking me with him. It's useless for me to bring you so many delicious food every time." , not cool enough as a friend!"
Seeing Zhu Yuelan acting like a scoundrel, Aunt Rong couldn't help but remind her: "Your Highness, please pay attention to your manners. If the female officer who teaches you etiquette sees you, you will be forced to stand again."
"Ah~ I'm so hot, how can I pay attention to my manners? I'm damn Chen Kan. You won't take me with you to escape the summer heat. I'll wait until you come back to see how this princess will settle the score with you."
...
"Ah sneeze!"
Chen Kan, who had just laid down, suddenly sneezed.
Hey, is someone scolding me?
"A sneeze, a sneeze!"
Two more sneezes wiped away Chen Kan's sleepiness.
Heyi walked out of the room and came to the deck. It was dark, and only the torch on the bow of the ship still firmly illuminated the way forward in the dark night.
Chen Kan looked up and saw that the originally bright moon had hidden in a huge dark cloud. Is it going to rain?
Song Qing came with a torch and was startled when he saw Chen Kan standing on the deck.
Then he bowed and said: "Sir, it's going to rain. The way forward is unclear and the treasure ship cannot continue sailing."
