"What, brother, do you have any objections?" Zhang Ruoyun glanced at his elder brother and said angrily.
As an insider, he knows how rare this opportunity is. If you don't have enough qualifications, no matter how much money you spend, the country will not let you go.
In comparison, the profits here are overwhelming.
"hey-hey!"
Zhang Ruohai's face froze when he heard this, and he waved his hands repeatedly to deny this statement, and said with a dry smile: "I mean, the emperor is really too kind. He eats meat as an old man, but he also doesn't forget to give us soup. He is indeed a great emperor!"
"Hmph, you just understand. Compared to Zhang Wanhao and the others, we are already happy!" Zhang Ruoyun rolled his eyes at his elder brother and said angrily.
Zhang Ruohai was speechless. He was very familiar with the emperor's operation. The last time he went fishing overseas, he used this routine. Now he just changed his posture.
But he didn't dare to say this, not because he was afraid of his brother, but because he was worried about the trap hidden behind him.
Once the truth is revealed, the consequences will be disastrous, so it is better to be more sensible, as the general stubborn donkey will not end well.
At this moment, the housekeeper outside trotted over.
"Master, there is someone looking for you outside!"
"Who?"
Zhang Ruohai's face darkened, and he couldn't help but feel worried. Could it be that Bai Qi came to his door just after he said a few words?
"Master, it's Master Qian and Master Xiang!" the butler whispered.
There was a hint of surprise in Zhang Ruohai's eyes, and he frowned and said, "It's actually them!" These aristocratic families hadn't looked for him for a long time, but he didn't expect that they would come to him now.
He glanced at his brother and walked out with doubts.
After arriving at the living room, I saw Qian Yulong and others. They came together as if they had agreed.
"Haha, Brother Zhang finally came out, we are so excited to see him!"
"That's right, we brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. We won't come home until we get drunk today!"
"Our northern aristocratic families are of the same origin, so naturally we should help each other and advance and retreat together."
Everyone had smiles on their faces, as if they were meeting old friends they hadn't seen for a long time. They were particularly enthusiastic and had wrinkles on their faces.
However, Zhang Ruohai was not moved in the slightest, but felt hairy in his heart.
These guys don't have that good of a relationship with me, especially when they deliberately stayed away from each other in order not to attract the emperor's attention.
Now that the other party is so enthusiastic, there is definitely something fishy about it.
Zhang Ruohai said angrily: "Come on, you two, just say what you have to say. If you delay for too long, you may be caught in a trap, and you will be in big trouble."
There is nothing good about aristocratic families these days, and it will be even more miserable if they are caught in a trap. That is definitely not a good thing.
"Haha, why are you so timid all of a sudden? The emperor has changed his view of our family a lot now. As long as we don't seek death, the emperor will not deal with us." Qian Yulong waved his hand and said with a smile on his face.
.
After several rounds of screening, the people who survived now are those who have withstood the test, and those are Da Liang's own people.
As long as people like you don't act smart and don't target and plot against Da Liang, you will never end up in a situation where your family is destroyed and people are killed, and at least there is a glimmer of hope.
They had followed the Great Liang from the very beginning, and they had sacrificed most of their property, and they had always kept to themselves. They were really good people.
Moreover, this time the emperor agreed to the draft of the children of the family, which is good news. This undoubtedly means that the emperor's attitude towards the family has relaxed, which is completely good news.
What a fart!
Zhang Ruoyun rolled his eyes at him. There was no absolute in this matter. If he provoked someone who got caught in the trap, the consequences would be disastrous.
Gu Ruotang on the side did not beat around the bush and said directly: "It's very simple for us to come here this time. This time the emperor achieved a shocking victory in the waters of the Daxi Empire and became the overlord of the ocean.
It is said that the sea is full of wealth, and the emperor has decided to mine it, so we must get a share of it no matter what!"
The southern aristocratic families entered Southern Liang and occupied the source of wealth for most of the country. We in the north could not just sit back and watch the south dominate.
"That's right!"
"It is said that there are not only all kinds of precious fish in the ocean, but also the mineral resources of Great Liang, and even a lot of gold and silver mines. Those are all good things."
"We don't want too much. Let's have some soup with the emperor. This is fine."
Everyone's eyes flickered, full of expectations for the benefits on the sea, which was a huge treasure mountain. If they could get it, they would definitely be able to make a feast for themselves and others.
Qian Yulong nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I heard that the emperor got some kind of sponsorship fee, I think this is very suitable for us!"
I and other aristocratic families are short of everything else, but they are not short of money, which can be spent. With a little money, you can hang out with the emperor, which is undoubtedly a good deal.
Hearing these words, Zhang Ruohai, who had been tempted before, couldn't sit still. He couldn't help but look at his brother and whispered: "Ruoyun, do you think this matter can be handled? This is a policy issued by the emperor.
It shouldn’t go against the emperor’s wishes, right?”
"Sponsorship fee!"
Zhang Ruoyun's eyes flickered for a moment, and he became thoughtful.
He had some understanding of this sponsorship fee. To put it bluntly, the emperor used this sponsorship fee to build warships and complete his maritime dominance.
To put it clearly, the emperor got a large number of warships without spending a penny.
It sounds like this matter is actually done for the emperor, and maybe it can be operated. After all, this is building a warship for the emperor, and there is no reason for the emperor to blame himself and others.
After thinking for a while, he said solemnly: "Maybe we can try, but I thought we could invest in sponsorship money. The two empires of Daxi and Shuangxi have been included in the attack range of Da Liang, which means that Da Liang wants to expand later.
, it is necessary to conduct cross-sea operations.
Do you all know what is needed for cross-ocean operations?"
"Of course it's a warship. How can we cross the sea without a ship!" Gu Ruotang said subconsciously.
What is needed for cross-ocean operations? This is almost a point question. It is really too simple.
Zhang Ruoyun smiled slightly and said: "Yes, it's a warship. Although the emperor has many shipyards, they also consume resources. This is where the sponsorship fee comes from.
Since the emperor needs warships, we will pay to build warships for him, and the emperor will naturally not treat us badly."
Qian Yulong couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "It makes sense, if we give all the money to the emperor, we won't be regarded as a thorn in the side, and we can also please the emperor.
The interests of the ocean are so great, and the emperor’s soup for us is enough to make us a lot of money.”
This is really exciting and must be fully completed.
Although the emperor does not like the greed of the aristocratic family, if he and others send money to the emperor to build warships, it is impossible for him not to like it.
