Chapter 594 Take the initiative to find out the clues
Back in the palace, when Jia Lian came to see him again, Princess Zhaoyang was the only one beside Emperor Ningkang.
Jia Lian guessed that Emperor Ningkang left Princess Zhaoyang to inquire about her visit to the clan. Judging from their faces, Princess Zhaoyang's reply should have satisfied Emperor Ningkang.
"Kowtow to Your Majesty."
"Get flat."
"Your Majesty, I have already considered it. The newly established firearms battalion plans to cast 300 'Zhenyuan Cannons', recruit or transfer 1,500 artillery soldiers, another 3,000 musketeers, and other craftsmen and handymen.
The total is five hundred, please allow your majesty."
Although Emperor Ningkang had previously said that he should directly write a memorial and submit it to the government, it seemed that he could do anything, but Jia Lian was not a fool. In order to complete the matter as soon as possible, he had to ask Emperor Ningkang for his idea first. Anyway, it was easy for him to meet the emperor.
, which makes things more efficient.
Sure enough, Emperor Ning Kang frowned when he heard this and looked at Jia Lian speechlessly.
The organizational structure is 5,000. You must know that the previous Shenji Battalion had so many departments, which was only about 3,000. Now that the firearms part is separated separately, the organizational structure has still increased?
It’s not that Emperor Ning Kang is stingy. Judging from Jia Lian’s previous funding for firearms research, Emperor Ning Kang also knows that these firearms are more expensive than swords, guns, swords and halberds. If nothing else, just the three artillery pieces I saw today, each one is
Worth a fortune.
The leader knows that oil and salt are expensive. Even though he is the emperor, he does not dare to make them casually. Therefore, Emperor Ning Kang pondered and said: "Since I have promised you to expand the navy, there is no problem in casting three hundred artillery pieces, but these three thousand muskets
Soldiers..."
Emperor Ningkang was about to find some reason to cut off a section of the structure that Jia Lian wanted, when he heard Jia Lian hurriedly say: "Your Majesty, artillery is important, but the muskets cannot be ignored! Your Majesty is familiar with military matters, and you should understand that the minister has not asked
Your Majesty opened his mouth widely, but an army can only be considered large-scale and have considerable combat effectiveness if it exceeds three thousand. And if Your Majesty wants to truly test the effectiveness of muskets on the battlefield, he must give you these three thousand soldiers.
I can issue a military order to your majesty and give me one year to train these musketeers. After that, whether your majesty transfers my ministers to the north to fight against the Oara, or cooperates with the navy to conquer the red barbarians and Japanese pirates, if there is no proud record, I am willing to accept it.
Your Majesty will punish you in any way!"
Seeing that Jia Lian was so bold, Princess Zhaoyang pushed Emperor Ning Kang into the corner. She couldn't help but smile, and then she stepped forward and said, "Father, if you don't like it, just follow the words of Marquis Zhenyuan. If things go well, then I will
The Wei Dynasty has another powerful and capable division.
If it fails, it means that the firearm is not as powerful as Zhenyuan Hou said, and it will allow my father to see the true appearance of the firearm as soon as possible. Calculating both aspects, it will be beneficial but harmless to my father."
Emperor Ning Kang silently looked at the two young men singing and singing, both of whom were first-class characters. He suddenly thought that if he had really forced the two to form a couple, maybe it would not be considered a random couple...
After walking away for a moment, Emperor Ning Kang sighed helplessly. Having said this, what else could he do? After all, Jia Lian only wanted three thousand, not thirty thousand.
So he looked at Jia Lian, and when Jia Lian lowered his head to express his listening, he said: "Since you said so, I allow you. Not only do I allow you to have thousands of people, but I also allow you to deploy troops from several camps in the capital to let you
The firearms camp can be organized as soon as possible.
】
But I have something to say first. In one year's time, if you can't achieve the results you said today, don't blame me for not thinking about the friendship between the king and my ministers."
Jia Lian said happily: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I am fully confident!"
"Hmph. In this way, your Firearms Battalion will have five thousand soldiers under its command. After the formation is completed, I will take the position of Commander of your Firearms Battalion. Rank Yi is equivalent to that of the Shenji Battalion, and I will be of the third rank."
"I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness, and I would like to die in service to Your Majesty!"
He snorted again and asked Jia Lian to stand up. Emperor Ning Kang said: "Since you are here, I have something to tell you."
"Your Jia family is not only the founder of the country, but also a relative of the country. During this time of the imperial court's "land clearing", your Jia family should actively cooperate with the Ministry of Household Affairs and specialized officials to set an example for the world's relatives."
"The humble minister obeys the decree."
Jia Lian sighed inwardly, it was not easy to set an example, and it would easily make other high-ranking officials in the capital treat him differently. However, at this moment, it was destined to be impossible to please both sides. Anyway, he had already made up his mind to hug Emperor Ning Kang's thigh.
So as the Jia family, there is no reason to go against him, so we might as well get on Emperor Ningkang's ship together.
Emperor Ningkang was very satisfied with Jia Lian's reaction. He was about to give a compliment when he heard Jia Lian suddenly ask: "I'm sorry to ask, but I wonder what the clan's attitude is towards the clearing of the imperial land? Your Majesty, please don't worry.
Weichen has no other intention, but Weichen knows that the clan members in the world all take the clan as an example. Therefore, if the clan objects to this matter, even if we cooperate again, I am afraid that other clan members will not be able to recognize it. Those who violate the rules will be punished.
Not a few."
Emperor Ningkang didn't comment after hearing this, and just looked at Princess Zhaoyang.
Princess Zhaoyang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Marquis Zhenyuan, the clan is also facing the father and the imperial court. Since I was ordered to convey the imperial court's intention to the clan, most people in the clan have expressed their support for the imperial court. Even if there are a few who oppose it,
, under the general trend of the imperial court, it is of no importance."
Princess Zhaoyang smiled on her face, and even more so in her heart. She had obviously told Jia Lian about her lobbying for the clan, and even Jia Lian had made suggestions with her, so she was acting in front of her father.
Don't know what to draw.
But Jia Lian showed admiration for her, and then saluted Emperor Ning Kang and said, "Your Majesty knows people well and is good at taking charge of tasks. The eldest princess is even more considerate and kind. Although she is a daughter, she can also relieve your Majesty's worries. She is truly your Majesty's favorite."
Fortunately, my great fortune is Wei."
Emperor Ningkang scolded: "I think you are a useful talent. Don't imitate other people's flattery, and you will fail to live up to your abilities!"
"Well, what your Majesty taught you is..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Princess Zhaoyang smiled and watched the conversation between the monarch and his ministers, feeling a little relieved. Although she knew that Jia Lian was highly valued by her father, but after all
She didn't know why Jia Lian was able to gain her father's trust in such a short period of time. She could only attribute it to the fact that Jia Lian had talents and learning that no one else had.
But now that she was standing in the south study room, watching Jia Lian get along with her father's emperor and ministers, she suddenly understood.
These are not monarchs and ministers. The way and tone of their speech are almost the same as that of father and son. No, both the prince and the three emperor brothers are very nervous and restrained in front of their father. How can there be such a harmonious scene as Jia Lian.
His silly younger brother is quite casual in front of his father, but he is either being scolded or on the way to being scolded. In this way, Jia Lian is somewhat like Ling'er after getting rid of all his naughty shortcomings. Thinking about it, although his father
He is the lord of the world, and he hopes to have a son as talented and caring as Jia Lian.
Thinking of this, Princess Zhaoyang couldn't help but guess that based on the situation, if her father knew about her relationship with Jia Lian in the future, she might not react too violently.
…
Princess Zhaoyang's carriage slowly stopped in front of her, and Jia Lian, who had been walking inside the deep wall for a long time, couldn't help but stop and bow to say hello.
This is the gap. Even though he is a close confidant of the emperor, he can only walk on two feet in the palace. He cannot even ride a horse, let alone ride a car.
The golden car curtain opened, revealing the bright face of Princess Zhaoyang, "It was inconvenient to speak in the south study just now. I would like to congratulate the Marquis of Zhenyuan on his promotion again."
"How dare you, how dare you, it's just a slight promotion, but it's really not worth mentioning in front of the princess."
Having said that, Jia Lian was still a little happy. The promotion of military attaché from the fourth grade to the third grade may seem like a mere first grade, but it is a gap that most military attachés will find difficult to cross in their lifetime.
It is the custom of the Wei Dynasty that those from the third rank upwards can be called generals, that is, they are truly generals worthy of the name.
In the eyes of other officials in the world, they are naturally envious and jealous, but in front of Princess Zhaoyang, there is really nothing to be proud of. After all, when people seek an official position, they start directly from the first rank.
Princess Zhaoyang looked at Jia Lian through the window and suddenly smiled and said: "Since the Marquis of Zhenyuan has promised to cooperate with the imperial court to clear the land, I happen to be one of the people responsible for clearing the land. If the marquis does not give up, I would like to
Please get in the car and discuss some details."
Negotiating details? Jia Lian frowned involuntarily and declined politely. However, looking at Princess Zhaoyang’s smiling face and her strong self-confidence in facing all worries calmly, Jia Lian sighed inwardly. After thanking her, she danced very skillfully.
I got on Princess Zhaoyang's luxurious car and got in.
In the Yangxin Hall of Daming Palace, Emperor Ningkang, who was bathing his feet, heard the report from his chamberlain. He frowned slightly and asked again: "Did you see clearly that Marquis Zhenyuan really got into the carriage of the eldest princess?"
"Yes, I have seen it clearly. It seems that the Marquis of Zhenyuan was invited by Her Royal Highness the Princess..."
