Lord Zhou smiled and showed his true nature as an official: "I am just here to visit me. I was surprised to hear that Hao Qianhu had just married and should have come to congratulate him. However, the official business was complicated, but it could not be met by chance. Now it can be considered a hindsight, and he has made up for the loss of the sheep, but he didn't know that it was too late?"

What Hao Fenglou hates most is this kind of slippery Tai Chi. He asks you something very casually and insists on taking a big turn. He has to laugh hard and said, "It's not too late, and it's not too late. It's just that you won't go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. You might as well say something clearly."

Zhou Yang could also hear Hao Fenglou's implicit voice, and smiled and said, "Actually, there is a small matter when the Xiaguan comes to congratulate Hao Qianhu, which is not worth mentioning. If you say it, you are afraid that Hao Qianhu will laugh."

Here, these people are really thieves.

Hao Fenglou knew their tricks best, and it was clearly for the sake of this matter. It was just to avoid the important things and just want to be mixed.

Hao Fenglou was not in a hurry and said with a smile: "You have something to say. If you can help, you will do your best."

Zhou Yang sat upright, with a restrained and serious expression on his face and said, "Hao Qianhu's Shenwu Construction Bureau has produced many novel things, some of which are quite interesting. I think Hao Qianhu also knows that last month, His Majesty ordered the Ministry of Works to supervise the construction of a large ship, which seemed to be using this large ship to go out to sea. There was no problem with building a ship, but the large ship crossed the ocean and there were many pirates in the sea. The Ministry of Works discussed it and thought that if it could be equipped with a powerful weapon like a long gun,

I think it can solve the current problem. After all, swords, guns, swords and halberds are not as easy to use as long guns. Naturally, most of the long guns made by the Shenwu Construction Bureau are to supply the southern military and horses. The Ministry of Works will naturally not seize the beauty of others. As long as Hao Qianhu takes out the process and method of long guns, the Ministry of Works can make it on its own. Hao Qianhu, building ships and going to sea is also the national policy of the court. Your Majesty has long said that it has long heard that there are many countries on the sea, and the Ming Dynasty should go out to sea, show its might and leaps to the martial arts, and betray all over the world..."

The purpose of voyage to the West is just a simple preparation. Hao Fenglou can guess what Zhu Di's purpose of voyage to the West is, on the one hand, to understand the customs and customs of the West, and on the other hand, it is obviously a political need.

In other words, the biggest problem Zhu Di encountered was his position incorrectly. This is a very distressing problem. Just like Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Er, they first faced the problem of legal system. In the Qianqiu History, this account must be counted, and no matter how whitewashing it, it will be useless.

Generally speaking, in the face of such situations, there are often two extremes. One kind of person simply throws apart, so what if I just rot? I can even worsen. I just want to rot for you, so I mess up the palace, spend all kinds of money, kill people, and make all kinds of bad things; the other kind of thing is like Li Er, working hard and performing well. Zhu Di doesn't like to rot, so he began to think about his political achievements.

Officials who want to make political achievements usually build county schools, river embankments, and make some umbrellas for people. However, the emperors are different. The emperors want to make political achievements, of course they disdain this way. If they want to do major things, they will do big things. For example, there have been rumors recently that His Majesty wants to write books, but others often have a stingy family. However, Hao Fenglou knew that Zhu Di must have made unprecedented contributions to writing books. As for this going to sea, it is also a kind of political achievements project. What is going to sea for? It is to show the prestige of the country and show the prestige of the country? Of course, it is to make the world surrender. Only when countless vassal states enter the court, all countries gather in the capital, and everyone worships the country above the heavens, can they show the wise wisdom of being today.

Therefore, going to sea is to show the prestige of the country, but more importantly, putting gold on Zhu Di's face. Obviously, the vassal states have doubts about Zhu Di. Many people think that Zhu Di's country is not right, so Zhu Di decided to attack Annan. After attacking Annan, he told Korea that the Ryukyu countries should be obedient and deal with you if they are not obedient. Going to sea is to let Western countrymen see what it means to surrender to the heavenly state, and obedient is the kingly way.

This is Zhu Di's little abacus. Only by understanding Zhu Di's "very happy with me" mentality can he understand why there was a "Yongle Encyclopedia" and a voyage to the West.

In response to this, Hao Fenglou just pretended to be confused and said, "Did the Ministry of Works take a fancy to my musket?"

Zhou Yang said: "It's not that the Ministry of Works is interested in it, but the Ministry of Works thinks that if a batch of muskets can be made and used to prepare for the future, it would be better."

Hao Fenglou didn't believe his nonsense and planned ahead. He clearly wanted to use his own skills in muskets. The Ministry of Works has been suppressed recently. The world's manufacturing situation is roughly divided into two types. One is controlled by eunuchs and ordered eunuchs to be supervised, and the other is set up by the Ministry of Works and dispatched officials to manage it.

Originally, the two sides were fighting openly and secretly, and what they were doing was nothing more than profit. After all, this situation was maintained by the court allocating money and grain. Everyone pointed at the court to have a chance to get started.

Now, a sudden magic weapon scheme has emerged, which is quite a bit like breaking the path of life. This has broken the original balance. The Ministry of Works naturally tried to turn the tide in a different way. These guys really think they are fools.

However, Hao Fenglou doesn't care about losing the skills of the long gun, because the long gun is still in its prototype stage and is not perfect in many places. For example, the smooth-bore type that is still relatively backward, and adopts the front-loading smooth-bore jungle. To put it bending, it is just a smooth-bore grenade gun. Hao Fenglou has been trying to improve it. He has broken through the rifle technology in terms of short guns and used the method of ejection. In short, there is a lot of room for improvement in the future. Therefore, the skill of handing over the long gun will not have much hinderment to Hao Fenglou.

Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "We are all serving the court, not distinguishing each other. Since the Ministry of Works wants it, I have no reason not to give it to you. They are all my own family and don't speak the two families."

After hearing this, Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "This is great."

Hao Fenglou said: "However, I have some difficulties. You also know that the Shenwu Construction Bureau is not a department of work. Many things are still lacking, especially many raw materials, which are difficult to supply. It is okay to say that many rare ores are rare. I heard that the Ministry of Work has a tribute inventory every year. Can someone please let Mr. Hao pick some, especially copper ingots and other things, which are very scarce, just don't know if you can help?"

Zhou Yang's face suddenly pulled down, shameless. Although the Ministry of Works is not very prominent among the six ministries, it also has many benefits, one of which is something that others cannot reach. Because they shoulder the responsibility of building palaces and processing some tributes, the treasures from all over the world are entrusted to the Ministry of Works every year after they are entrusted to the Ministry of Works every year, such as the rare wood, various pearl agate, and various rare ores, and even stones that are regarded as auspicious in many places. The Ministry of Works has inventory.

This is the lifeblood of the Ministry of Works. Hao Fenglou now proposed to choose the treasures in the warehouse. It is unbearable. This is clearly extortion.

In fact, it is said that he wanted to make a long gun, but the Ministry of Works also had selfish intentions, that is, he also got the skills of steelmaking. Today, the Minister of Works, Song Li, is quite enthusiastic about this. Lord Song is a practical person and likes these strange and lewd skills, so Zhou Yang came to negotiate with Hao Fenglou.

Zhou Yang came to ask for things, but he definitely did not come to give gifts. The Shangshu was not called Song Zhong, but Song Li, which did not mean that the Ministry of Works was Erlangzi.

Zhou Yang flatly refused and said, "The warehouse of the Ministry of Works is to supply the palace. Not to mention that the officials cannot make the decision, even if they are the Lord Shangshu, I am afraid they will be in a dilemma."

Hao Fenglou said: "This is not difficult, and I don't want many. I just need to pick up some rare things. The Ministry of Industry has lost money every year, and these things are reported directly to the loss."

Hao Fenglou directly exposed the unspoken rules of the Ministry of Works. The so-called loss is actually the oil and water that the Ministry of Works relies on for survival. For example, 3,000 copper ingots are often quietly removed from two hundred. When it is reported, it is said that it is lost in the project, such as when making copper bricks.

Zhou Yang became a little angry, but he said patiently: "This...is something wrong."

Hao Fenglou said bluntly: "If it is inappropriate, then there is nothing to talk about. The Shenwu Art Technique is of great importance, but it should not be easily leaked. If something goes wrong in the middle, I can't afford it."

Zhou Yang's face was gloomy and he couldn't help saying, "Do you know that you are extorting? You are threatening the ministry, this... this... this is a villain's behavior. It's not like this, what is in Zhenku..."

Hao Fenglou smiled unkindly: "Sir, I'm here to kill you. You come to your door and you have to use the skills of a gun. Everyone knows that you are in a hurry to use it. You must have your own intentions. You want to point to my skills to boost the momentum of your Ministry of Works, so as to take the lead and press others. If I don't kill you, wouldn't you know that I'm stupid? How can I behave in the future? Hao Fenglou calls Hao Tianzhen, and nowadays, people's hearts are not old, and it's not a waste of money. What's wrong with letting me kill them? Anyway, it's all about losing money. I'm fine. It's okay for you to report more damage. God knows what you know, why do you need to get angry like this?"

Zhou Yang stopped talking, as if weighing the pros and cons. He had long known that the person named Hao was not a good person, and he had long been thinking about the Ministry of Works.

Hao Fenglou was calm and composed, and had a strong saying, without any awareness of being a good person. To be honest, he had indeed been thinking about the Ministry of Works for a long time. Many so-called rare treasures are rare raw materials. If you do some, it will be of great help to the Shenwu Creation Bureau.
