This world is actually very unfair. King Kang deliberately hit Tangning's ship, but Tangning couldn't instruct Tianranju to knock it back
Because he is a prince, he is at the top of the privileged class in the capital and even the entire Chen State. It is natural for him to bully others, and if others bully him, he will be the most serious and violate the majesty of the royal family.
Nothing else matters, as long as anything is involved in the royal family's face, it is a big deal
Just like Tang Ning's contribution to his great achievements and high official position, he would never marry Zhao Man, who was a royal princess, as a concubine.
Although there were some small episodes today when I visited the lake, I was probably still happy
In fact, the scenery and climate in Jiangnan are better than those in the capital, but in many cases, it is not important to appreciate the scenery. What is important is the people who enjoy the scenery together.
Compared with the heavy affairs in the yamen and the intrigues in the officialdom, Tang Ning still likes to go out for a walk with his family and take a breather.
Of course, it would be even better if King Kang had not made trouble. The rare and comfortable leisure time for the family, King Kang's intrusion was like throwing a small stone into the calm lake. Even if it only splashed a little wave and was quickly smoothed out, it would still be a little uncomfortable for someone like Tang Ning who could not rub the sand in his eyes.
Revenge cannot be retaliated in person. If it really hits and sinks King Kang's ship, it will directly lose the face of Emperor Chen. Even if Emperor Chen doesn't punish him too much for this matter, there is no need to get into such trouble.
After all, the future is long
Tang Ning has been focusing on the Ministry of Works in recent months. Compared with this, Zuo Xiaowei's training has been meticulous and regular, so he doesn't need to pay too much attention.
Lao Zheng had already drawn all the equipment pictures of the heavy cavalry yesterday
If a Zheng surnamed Zheng had never been on the battlefield or seen a heavy cavalry before, Tang Ning could cut his head off and kick him as a ball.
Although Tang Ning was very curious about Lao Zheng’s past, he did not talk much.
Everyone has a secret. Lao Zheng is not Gongsun Ying. If he doesn’t say it, there will naturally be a reason why he doesn’t say it. Tang Ning will not break the casserole and ask the question to the end. If he doesn’t say it, he will kill him...
The key is that he can't kill him
Tangning needs to hand over these equipment drawings to craftsmen from the Ministry of Works to create these equipment drawings
The reason why Emperor Chen restarted this plan was because of the strength of the grassland cavalry. When the Chen army met them, they were naturally at a disadvantage.
Only with cavalry that is more powerful than them can we effectively restrain the Sushen cavalry on the grassland.
Due to limited conditions, even the Wanyan tribe, the largest part of the grassland, did not have many heavy cavalry.
Because they are poor
Not only is there no money, but also lacks iron, and even more mature forging technology. The Chen Kingdom is not short of these. What Chen Emperor wants is to build a cavalry that is stronger than the grassland people.
Even if the heavy cavalry itself has the disadvantages of not being flexible enough and poor mobility, on the grassland, their advantages are enough to cover up these shortcomings.
Tang Ning looked at Lao Zheng and asked casually: Have you ever seen heavy cavalry before?
Lao Zheng shook his head: I haven't seen it before
Tang Ning Qi said: Have you never seen what you painted?
Lao Zheng said: Researched
Lao Zheng said something inappropriate and nonsense. Whenever Tang Ning asked about the serious matter, he regained his nature of being unable to beat a single one. After asking this, Tang Ning didn't plan to ask any more.
The Ministry of Works has many things and is complicated. Tang Ning gave the drawings to the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works and asked them to make a set of things to see the results.
Then there were some chores about building bridges and roads. Emperor Chen was not very enthusiastic about building palaces. Recently, he invested a lot of money on the northwest transportation post road, which was truly a wartime preparation.
The Ministry of Industry also needs to come up with some strategies for floods in several states
In addition to its own affairs, the Ministry of Works must cooperate with other departments. Several Grand Secretarys applied to His Majesty to build a large official house for poor officials to live in order to facilitate their daily court and yamen. These matters must be implemented by the Ministry of Works.
The Ministry of War will produce a batch of new ordnance and transport it to the northwest, and also supervise the Ministry of Works.
The Ministry of Revenue sent some scrapped weighing instruments, and asked the Ministry of Works to create some new things, and also needed manpower. The Minister of Works took sick leave and the Minister was on a business trip. Tang Ning had to handle these things personally.
But these things are important. The construction of post roads in the northwest cannot be delayed, and the military ordnances of the Ministry of War cannot be delayed. The weighing instruments sent by the Ministry of Revenue are weights for officials and are replaced every two years, but they can be slightly pushed back. As for the official houses suggested by the Grand Secretary, what is needed is a carpenter, and it does not conflict with several other things, so you can arrange them immediately...
Before this, Tang Ning had to calculate the budget of the heavy cavalry and report it to Emperor Chen
Tang Ning didn't even eat a few bites of food all day. By the afternoon, he was already very busy and dizzy. He leaned on the chair and felt that he could fall asleep by closing his eyes.
He is actually a salted fish. What he hates the most is this kind of life that he never has time to spare. It is a bit unreasonable to work for Emperor Chen so hard that he doesn't marry a daughter...
After the Ministry of Works released the yamen, he could not go home, but wanted to go to the palace first.
Of course, this time I entered the palace, not to discuss marrying my daughter with Emperor Chen, but to report the budget for building a heavy cavalry
Emperor Chen is still in the imperial study room, but not reviewing the memorials, but examining the three princes.
Tang Ning stood aside and waited quietly
The one who spoke now was Duan. He stood in the hall and bowed: Father, the threat of the grassland is getting worse and worse, and the Western Regions has become unscrupulous again. My sons think that civil officials are important to govern the court, but military generals guarding the border well is the prerequisite for peace and stability in the country and the people. Now the northwest is in chaos, and the court should expand the military exercises, select more generals and transport them to the northwest...
Although Chen State did not value culture over military affairs, it also held military exercises, but in comparison, the popularity of military exercises was extremely low. Ordinary people did not even know that there was such a thing.
The suggestions put forward by King Duan are very suitable for the current situation in the Chen State. Expanding the martial arts will attract many young people with ability and dreams. Wen Ju can only be an official, but the martial arts can be granted a marquis. The northwest rebellion is a great trouble for Chen State, but for others, isn’t it an opportunity to soar into the sky and benefit future generations?
Xiao Jue and Liu Jun went to the Western Regions and the grasslands, and this was the thought that
Tang Ning was not surprised that King Duan could make such a suggestion. He had the Tang family behind his back, and the counselors in the mansion were not just a waste of time. Judging from Emperor Chen's expression, he should be very satisfied with King Duan.
Emperor Chen looked at King Duan, with an admiration in his eyes and said: Very good, I have been thinking about this recently, so I will leave this matter to you...
Thank you, King Duan bowed and said: My son will never let down the entrustedness of the father!
Emperor Chen looked at King Huai and said: Do you have anything to say?
King Huai bowed and said: Erchen thinks that Brother Duan is right. What the court lacks now is generals. Erchen thinks that when the court expands its military exercises, it can relax the restrictions on its origins, so that it can attract more talents...
King Huai's words are just a supplement to King Duan. There is no excellence, but there are no omissions.
King Duan glanced at King Huai in secret, and a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes. Emperor Chen had no expression on his face. He looked at King Duan and said: What King Huai said makes sense. You can deal with this matter.
King Duan bowed and said: My son obeys the order
Emperor Chen finally looked at King Kang and asked: Where are you?
King Kang's heart skipped a beat. If he had known that his father had come to the palace today to take the exam, he asked Mr. Xu to prepare for him in advance. At this time, there was nothing in his mind and hesitated: Father, son minister, son minister, son minister feel...
After hesitating for a long time, he still didn't say anything. Emperor Chen frowned and said: What have you done in the mansion these days?
King Kang's eyebrows suddenly moved, looked at King Duan, and said: Father, what the two emperor brothers said just now is what the son minister wants to say, son minister...
Emperor Chen waved his hand impatiently and said: OK OK, you guys go down...
King Kang thought he had escaped the disaster and slowly retreated from the hall. When he left, he looked at Tang Ning with an inexplicable look.
After understanding the meaning in his eyes, Tang Ning couldn't help but feel a little funny
Among the three princes, the one Chen Emperor is obviously King Duan. If King Kang is smarter or more diligent, he might be able to catch up. If he continues to be stupid, he will never have the chance to be with the throne.
If such a situation continues, if nothing unexpected happens, the marginal king Huai and the fool Kang will become the stepping stones for King Duan to ascend to the throne. If King Duan is kind, King Huai may be sent to a remote area. King Kang can prepare for his funeral from now on.
After the three princes left, Chen Huang looked at Tang Ning and asked: The cost of building heavy cavalry has been calculated?
Tang Ning nodded and said: Go back to Your Majesty, it's basically done.
Chen Huang said: How much money do I need to build a heavy cavalry team of 100,000 people each year?
Tang Ning thought about it and stretched out five fingers
Five million taels? Chen Huang breathed a sigh of relief. Five million taels are enough for the entire northwest region for several years, but it is still a good deal to use five million taels to build a powerful soldier that is invincible.
He looked at Tang Ning and said: I will give you six million taels, and I will give you the best things to use...
Tang Ning looked at Emperor Chen and corrected: Your Majesty, it's 50 million taels.
……
Emperor Chen was obviously frightened and stood up suddenly, unsure: How many?
Because he is a prince, he is at the top of the privileged class in the capital and even the entire Chen State. It is natural for him to bully others, and if others bully him, he will be the most serious and violate the majesty of the royal family.
Nothing else matters, as long as anything is involved in the royal family's face, it is a big deal
