Hao Fenglou was not in a hurry to welcome the crowd, but frowned and said, "Father, open the skylight and speak loudly. My son came here more and more and more. The court appointed an imperial envoy to inspect the situation. The three departments of Jiaozhi are also responsible for the relationship between Jiaozhi. Why are all the reports in Nanjing singing and dancing to peace, but Jiaozhi is a different place? My son even met some Jiaozhi merchants along the way, and even spoke rudely. There are many people who hate the court to the core."

Hao Fenglou sighed and continued: "Actually... I didn't expect these Jiaozhi people to be loyal to the court, but I didn't expect that this would be the situation."

Hao Zheng pondered for a moment, but became serious and pondered for a long time before saying: "All kinds of chaos are just a word of profit. Local officials want political achievements and try their best to exploit them. The officials of the three departments receive benefits and then send them to Beijing. They respect the ice and charcoal. However, the officials in the Beijing area get benefits, how dare the imperial envoys report to Chen to impeach? Although the imperial envoys are prominent in the local area, there are many people who can influence their future when they arrive in the capital. So who dares to expose the rotten sores of these inspectors?"

"The court, the three departments, local parents, and other academic, fortune-telling, and patrolists have actually been in gangs since the beginning. Besides, the palace is unwilling to put their thoughts here, why do you think?"

Hao Fenglou just listened quietly. After hearing Hao Zheng's inquiry, he did not dare to disrupt his father's thinking, so he said, "Please tell me, Lord Father."

Hao Zheng sighed: "The Nanzheng spent too much money and grain. These money and grain are mentioned every now and then. Many people are heartbroken. Now there are many implicit remarks in the court that reflect on the Nanzheng. In fact, I am afraid that there are also hearing about this in the palace."

When he was in Nanjing, Hao Fenglou had heard of a lot of such reflections.

Whether it is scholars or officials of the court, they generally believe in the so-called sages, but most sages and even the wise ministers in ancient times strongly opposed the use of rash weapons. In fact, from the perspective of interests, this is not wrong. For scholars, if they use swords every now and then military officers will definitely become prominent due to their merits. Look at how many princes and marquises created by the founding of the country and the Jingnan period, which one is not a person who stands alone? And these people are obviously contrary to the interests of scholars.

Therefore, scholars do not like to fight. On the one hand, they are unwilling to let the Wuxun Group grow bigger. On the other hand, this is inconsistent with their ideas. Therefore, they constantly exaggerate the benefits of so-called kindness and kindness and strive to create peace for singing and dancing.

But they were not very lucky. Obviously, in their era, they were first a founding king, then a Jianwen who reduced his vassals, and then even more cruel. They encountered Zhu Di, who started his business in the Jingnan Dynasty, and soon after they ascended the throne, formulated a plan for the southern expedition. In their words, they were just spending money and food, consuming people's strength, showing off their power, and bullying the weak.

These words cannot be said explicitly. What scholars are best at is allusion, so all kinds of remarks are rampant, and there is difficulty in money and food, and excessive spending, in short, it is to let the court know the consequences of such a military force.

For the palace, it is difficult for people to accept that such a great political achievement of Nanzheng was criticized. Zhu Di was mostly angry with the sarcastic nature of these guys, but you couldn't do them, because the tougher you are in this way, the more you will succeed those sarcastic people.

However, there is a solution to this matter. There is one way, that is, I will spit it out after eating mine. Since Annan has spent money and food, in order to block his mouth and fill the surplus in the court, he simply let the officials set up cards to collect taxes, so that the dispute can be calmed down. On the other hand, the palace also gained many benefits from it.

The relationship here is like a ball of twine, which is endlessly cut and messy. Countless attempts are mixed together, and it is impossible for one or two people to change.

Hao Zheng said it almost well, sighed, and then said, "So, our Hao family cannot interfere in this matter, but we can't put down the wrong things. Just watch the fire from the other side of the river. Everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door and doesn't care about the frost on others. After all, this Jiaozhi is the Jiaozhi of the court, not our Hao family. You are here to build a ship, so you don't have to pay attention to the chaos in Jiaozhi. Just try to mediate for your father. If you build the ship well, our Hao family will be at ease. As for the matter of raising shipbuilding, we have already explained it to my father.

Wu Xiong went to do it. Our Hao family is not short of money. In the past month, a lot of ship materials have been collected. The dock in the coastal defense has been completed. The craftsmen and craftsmen have already been in place. Construction has begun. However, the craftsmen and craftsmen are now built. The craftsmen are not big and the craftsmanship is not complicated. However, they mainly transport fresh water and food and fodder in the fleet. They can carry some cargo. They are indispensable. Let them start from this 'boat' first, in order to practice their skills and let the craftsmen become familiar with them."

Hao Zheng's arrangements are meticulous. After all, most craftsmen currently do not have the experience of building large ships. Now they purchase ship materials first and start from medium-sized ships, gradually allowing boatmen to accumulate experience in the process of building ships.

Hao Feng Louhe nodded and said, "Originally, my son had to follow the rules when building ships this time. Although this is a royal misunderstanding, it is the filial piety of our Hao family after all, so it is almost done. However, a few days ago, I read the news about the Shenwuwei in this residence. It seems that someone in the court wants to use this ship to make things difficult for our Hao family. Therefore, my son has already understood along the way that if he does not build a decent ship now, he will be sorry to the court and our Hao family."

Hao Fenglou paused and continued: "So this time, my son really plans to do everything he can to open his eyes. So, the manpower and material resources he can use now are afraid that his son will have to entrust his father to the father. Tomorrow, his son will set off for the coastal defense. Then he will inevitably make a list and ask his father to support him as much as possible in Lang Son."

Hao Zheng suppressed his hands and said seriously: "This is a matter of course. You are right. It is impossible to do things perfunctorily. To be honest, our Hao family has been running too fast. We have always been worried about our father. Although the family is strong, the foundation is not solid. It is easy to avoid hidden arrows on the open guns, so the Hao family should be more careful every time they take a step, look at the front and the back. As long as it is the matter assigned by the court, it must not only be done well, but also do the best, so that people can't find any problems, and be perfect."

"What do you want? I will naturally do my best to do my best to do it. Whether it is manpower, material resources, money or food, these are not problems."

Although he knew that his father would strongly support him, Hao Fenglou was relieved after receiving Hao Zheng's promise.

In fact, this is also his own heart. In Hao Zheng's eyes, he is his relative's bloodline, but in his eyes, he is just the father of this world. Although Hao Fenglou trusts Hao Zheng, there is a little uncertainty.

The father and son talked for an hour, from Nanjing to Jiaozhi, from shipbuilding to military and political affairs. Seeing that it was getting late, Hao Zheng insisted: "Okay, go take a shower and change clothes, and welcome you to your father."

Hao Fenglou resigned, and a maid prepared warm water for Hao Fenglou in the bathroom. Hao Fenglou took a bath, came out in a new dress, and then went to the banquet. There were many people coming at the banquet, and almost all the important people from Lang San came. Everyone came to greet them. Some of these people, Hao Fenglou was familiar with each other, and some were just nodding, and some didn't know each other at all, but seeing the other party warm, they naturally greeted each other with a smile.

The wine was a little drunk. Hao Fenglou felt his head was dizzy, and he took the excuse to leave the seat. Outside the hall, it was already dark, like a thick ink sky without a trace of stars. The night wind blew, and it didn't feel cold, but it was like a heat wave, which made Hao Fenglou feel a little suffocated.

The conditions here are actually not good, which is why it is called a wild land. There are many mosquitoes here, and the night is humid and hot, and there is no pleasing atmosphere.

However, Hao Fenglou was holding the railing, looking at the faint lights in the distance, deep in this huge mansion, he suddenly thought of Hao Zheng's words in Bai Ri.

The Hao family ran away too quickly, and they were always worried about their father...

Worry……

What are you worried about? It’s just a cold place. There are tall buildings and guests are everywhere. In just a few years, from a small wealthy family to a noble family, Hao Fenglou has done it. There are both strength and luck here.

But... who can guarantee... this kind of luck will continue.

Hao Fenglou narrowed his eyes and sighed faintly.

So when he came to Annan, the only thing he had to do was to build ships and build the ships of the coastal defense to the peak of this era. Only in this way can those conspirators be unable to start, and only in this way can the Hao family's status be more stable.

All the rise of a family is accumulation bit by bit.

The warm wind blew away Hao Fenglou's drunkenness. He touched his forehead, then smiled and returned to the banquet.

"The Marquis of the Sea is really a dragon and a phoenix among people."

"The young hero of the Haifanghou is really amazing. Even if you drink, you can't beat the officials."

These beautiful flatteries were so pleasant in my ears that Hao Fenglou looked radiant under the light. He held a wine cup and drank all the wine. Isn’t this what I want in life? If you don’t be the best, then what’s the point of all your efforts?

Therefore... the Hao family must stand firm and always be admired.
