Chen Ao opened the box of maritime affairs, and the world was filled with vested interests of maritime affairs; and these people were the huge driving force that promoted the trend of the world. Chen Ao found that he could no longer help.

Wu Wencai's words are very simple, that is, Chen Ao makes a decision immediately, whether to be a hero or a capable minister. To be a capable minister, the sounds of running and clamoring for him must be suppressed as quickly as possible. However, if you are a hero, you must prepare for the future and prepare in advance.

Chen Ao was silent. In fact, although he killed someone and was very troubled, Chen Ao had to hesitate when it came to the palace revolution.

Wu Wencai said: "Now that the trouble is so fierce. It will be spread to Bianjing sooner or later. What will the prince think? Your Highness always has to give you a correct word so that we, the subordinates, can be prepared." Wu Wencai's eyes gradually became bolder, and he looked straight at Chen Ao, licked his mouth and said: "If your Highness wants to be a capable minister, Wu has nothing to say, but your Highness... Wu is willing to work hard for everyone, Fujian Road, Suhang Road, Xixia, Khitan Old Place, Guangnan Road, all follow His Highness's leader."

After Chen Ao was silent, he finally stood up and said, "At this point, if Zhao Heng doesn't give me a choice, I won't give him a choice. You can do what you should do, and be prepared for both hands. It is naturally good to be a capable minister. If you can't do it, then let future generations laugh and scold you."

Cao Cao was laughed and scolded by later generations, and so was Wang Mang. Didn’t Zhao Kuangyin be criticized? Chen Ao’s bottom line is not to force himself to be too impatient. If he is too impatient, he will bite someone. The three words Chen Lengzi are not called to play.

Chen Ao came out of the Haizheng Yamen and took Zhou Heng and other guards home directly. A few years ago, Chen Ao had set up a mansion in Quanzhou New City. Zhao Ji ordered him to come, and the Shen family and his family came to Quanzhou with the princes of Bianjing. Chen Ao stayed in front of the mansion. Seeing this new mansion, the gatekeeper saw Chen Ao come back and greeted him while quickly reporting to the family in the inner house.

When Chen Ao went in, he found that An Ning had lost weight a little, and felt pity and unbearable. He hugged her for a while and comforted her. At this time, he thought of Zhao Ji again and became melancholy again.

After a few days, Chen Ao went to the palace to see him every day. Zhao Ji's body became worse and worse. Later, sometimes he even said something vaguely, and Chen Ao felt even more unhappy. He could only take out money and collect famous paintings everywhere for Zhao Ji to have fun. Since the last time he talked about the prince, both of them seemed to have a tacit understanding and no longer touched these heavy topics. They just talked about calligraphy and painting. Sometimes Chen Ao sat in front of the couch and listened to Zhao Ji's remembrance.

Seeing the thin old man getting less and less angry, Chen Ao wanted to cry but couldn't cry; he wanted to laugh but felt far-fetched. When he came to Quanzhou, he served Zhao Ji wholeheartedly, without any interest, and didn't even know what happened outside. Sometimes when Yang Jian talked to him, he just responded um, um, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"I have been an emperor for so many years. I only know that sitting in the cave of the palace, the palace, and calling me a lonely person. I summoned ministers. I really don't know what this emperor feels like. Is my country really prosperous and prosperous?" One day, Zhao Ji lay on the couch, and his body was getting worse and worse. His eyes could only be closed, and he coughed a few times, and continued, "I really want to see, see what my world looks like."

Chen Ao thought and said, "Your Majesty wants to see it, why don't you go and see it with your own eyes?"

"It's too late..." Zhao Ji said with regret: "I am like this now..."

Chen Ao was impatient, and Zhao Ji was so slow that he couldn't stand it. He interrupted Zhao Ji and said, "Your Majesty should have a look at this. The people also want to see Your Majesty. This matter is decided. Three days later, Your Majesty will go out to the palace to tour."

Zhao Ji was also motivated by Chen Ao's encouragement and said, "Okay, I'll go."

Chen Ao's mood suddenly improved a little, he found a loophole, quickly left the bedroom, and immediately ordered Wu Wencai and Quanzhou Prefect Ma Yinglong to come over, and said, "From today on all the yamen in Quanzhou, all the above and below the four yamen in Quanzhou will put down their work."

Ma Yinglong said, "I wonder what your highness has to tell us?"

Chen Ao said with great interest: "I want to hold a grand event, an unparalleled event in the world. Your Majesty will go out to the palace to patrol in three days. The street must be repaired properly. Colored silk must be hung on the trees along the street. Each shop is painted on it, and each workshop is rested. Work is suspended for one day, so that the people can come out in new clothes. This matter has a great impact on me and must be done well."

Chen Ao seemed a little excited. He could do something for Zhao Ji who was dying, which made him feel like he had a long breath. After pondering for a while, he said, "Isn't there a square in Xincheng? It covers a large area. Just set up a statue in the center of the square. It must be at least twenty feet high, the bigger the better. The statue is naturally the carving of His Majesty. Can this be done?"

Wu Wencai smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid it's a tough situation. Such a large statue may not be able to be completed even if one hundred craftsmen work for a year or two."

Chen Ao frowned and seemed very disappointed. In addition to calligraphy and painting, Zhao Ji's biggest hobby was pomp. To put it bluntly, he was very happy with merit. Chen Ao simply wanted to create a prosperous era to comfort this old man who was about to die. Just as he concealed the story of the prince killing his father, he just hoped that Zhao Ji would be satisfied and peaceful while riding a crane.

This large statue is the most important part of Chen Ao's imagination. Now that it cannot be done, Chen Ao will naturally disappoint him.

"But..." Ma Yinglong saw Chen Ao's gloomy look, he remembered an idea and said, "Xiaoguan heard that the Quanzhou trading company raised a sum of money to shape a statue of Mazu, and planned to place it next to the lighthouse to set up a Mazu temple to bless the safety of sailors who went out to sea. Now this stone statue has been built for about a year and is about to be completed. Cough cough... If you temporarily take this Mazu stone statue and let the craftsmen repair the lower part while the three-day construction period is coming, you might be able to try it."

"Can this work?" Although Chen Ao was crazy, he still felt it was difficult to accept that Mazu turned into Zhao Ji. He looked at Ma Yinglong with his eyes and thought to himself: Could it be that you have traveled through time?

Ma Yinglong was embarrassed by Chen Ao and said, "If you want to be perfect, you can't count on it. But if you recruit more stonemasons to speed up the work, you will increase the places you should increase and the places you should decrease, and there will always be some similarities."

Chen Ao hit his hands and said, "This is a good way, just do it." After that, he said, "There are no people except stone statues, but it is not good to drive out the people if you have to do anything. It is better to do this. Just give it a bunch of money, and log the person's name first, and then let them come to the yamen to pick it up."

Wu Wencai smiled bitterly and said, "Your Highness, you are wearing red and hanging colors and stone statues, which is too exhausting for the people and money."

Chen Ao said unanimously: "It's just to do everything possible. It's a bit of a waste of money. It's not a matter of losing money. All the money is included in my account and there is no need to take it out of the treasury. Lord Wu, let's calculate, how much money will be spent?"

Although Wu Wencai's Naval Office is in charge of everything, it is a big deal to clarify tariffs. In recent years of experience, he is still an old official. After thinking about it for a moment, he said, "I'm afraid it's about 20 million yuan."

Chen Ao shook his head and said, "It's too little, what can you do with such a little money? If I want to hold a shocking event, I will always have to talk about my conscience. Your Majesty is dying now, and I can only come out to see this in my life. How can I save it? Let me tell you, I don't ask for much, just the more extravagant it is, the better. Whoever has the ability to make money from my king, even if it comes to earn. Such a big thing is definitely not enough. I will ask someone to give out 50 million yuan, which is not enough. Don't be stingy if there are any new things in Quanzhou recently. If you take it out, I have money."

At this time, Chen Ao was surprisingly generous. With a wave of his hand, he spread out 50 million coins. This work is unprecedented.

When Wu Wencai heard Chen Ao say he paid for it, he stopped talking and said, "Then I will gather the officials from all over Quanzhou to discuss it and do it according to the wishes of His Highness. Ma Ma and the stone statue will be handed over to you."

Ma Yinglong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness and Lord Wu, there will be no mistakes."

The three of them gathered to discuss and Chen Ao rushed back to Zhao Ji again. Zhao Ji took a nap and recovered some energy. He asked Chen Ao, "Where have you been there just now?"

Chen Ao said: "I have a stomachache, I'm back after taking some jealousy."

Zhao Ji didn't ask much, and Chen Ao stayed with him until late at night before he went back to take a horse.

Chen Ao was leisurely, but his slap in his head really made the whole of Quanzhou a mess. His Majesty was going on a patrol, and His Highness the Auxiliary Emperor said that he would do it very well. How to do it? Wu Wencai summoned the officials for an hour and finally decided on the tone. However, the government alone was far from enough, so everyone took on the meticulous tasks, and then the servants from each yamen took the famous sect to visit the chambers of commerce.

Chen Ao was roughly similar to Mazu in the minds of the merchants. At his command, the merchants were very motivated. In fact, they thought it was Chen Ao and the prince competing for favor, so they played such a trick. How could they know that Chen Ao was just spending money to make Zhao Ji happy?

When the matter was involved in the competition for favor, the merchants were even more excited. This was a duel between the prince and the auxiliary government. If the auxiliary government lost, the maritime government would be deposed. After the maritime government was over, everyone would be finished. So everyone rolled up their sleeves and didn’t need to mobilize the government. They were already fighting for the first place. It was not easy to ask for colorful silk? In the past two days and nights, there were so many things to do; if there were a opera troupe? The Quanzhou team was not enough, so go and invite them, and use a fleet to invite them to ensure that they could arrive in time; and also need a Cuju team? Someone also patted his chest and took them in and would definitely invite them on time.

As for all kinds of new things, it is not necessary to say that they just need to be handled by a big shot? The Auxiliary King will be able to handle things easily. I am afraid that you will not do anything. If you come, you will point out the direction for everyone. If you have money and work hard, just don’t let them spend money in vain. The yamen will give you money, so you will not lose money.

The stonemasons in the entire Quanzhou were mobilized, and all the prefectural offices were led to rebuild the statue of Mazu. Mazu was considered unfavorable for the passing of years. She was about to enjoy the incense, but she was changed to her face. Ma Yinglong personally checked and supervised the construction site for twelve hours a day, which was also considered as doing her best.

Apart from these, I don’t know which guy came up with a ghost idea and asked the vassals to dance, so he was in a mess again, searching for the vassals, gathering thousands of people, and starting to practice dance. This matter was supervised by the Quanzhou Transportation Organ, and the vassal was very interested. The reason why people took on this job was because this person liked listening to music. He thought so in his heart that this dancing was always the same as listening to music, which was better than playing stone statues that Ma Yinglong had no choice but to play with stone statues. To say that his artistic accomplishment of listening to music was different, the vassals had even thought of the name of the dance, called "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix". Thousands of vassals were lined up on the beach, supervising one by one, threatening and tempting. If you dance well, you will be rewarded for money. If you dance poorly, you will be repatriated directly to your hometown. You dare to fight against the vassals, and you will be finished today.
