Chapter 80 Plan ahead

The old man was unable to drink, so he poured it in just two cups. Qiu Jingming sent the person back before returning to the room. Seeing Tang Ning reading the letter intently under the lamp, he consciously sat next to him and drank tea.

Tang Ning put down the letter and said seriously to Qiu Jingming: "The letter from the Marquis of Dingbei said that the emperor did order them to find people to study warships at that time, but the progress was slow. The emperor now meant that I should step up the search for people and strive to build a ship that can sail far within a year to transport the Luzon gold mine back."

"Time is too tight, and it's a bit difficult for people to do, are you sure?" Qiu Jingming stepped forward and took the letter and studied it carefully.

Tang Ning thought of the box of books he gave to Tang Junsheng and said uncertainly: "It should be possible to put it..."

It is impossible to expect Tang Junsheng alone for such a big thing. The next day, Tang Ning went directly to the workshop.

When I arrived at the workshop, I realized that more than 90% of the workshops here were shipbuilding. I asked a question and learned that the emperor handed over the arduous task of shipbuilding to Du Bailiang.

Tang Ning was so angry that he almost jumped. The old man didn't mention such a big thing! He handed over a bunch of messes to her!

After staying in the workshop for a day, she almost understood the current shipbuilding progress and couldn't help but feel a headache to hold her forehead. These people together were not as good as one Tang Junsheng. No wonder Du Bailiang would find Tang Junsheng privately.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning decisively asked someone to go to Fenggu Village to invite Tang Junsheng over.

After everyone knows that Tang Junsheng is Tang Ning's father, he seems to be the leader of the workshop. Tang Junsheng is a talented person, but he is introverted and does not like to show off. After being driven to the shelves, he has to discuss with everyone.

After several days of running-in, Tang Junsheng was able to integrate into the workshop. Tang Ning took the opportunity to list his requirements and handed them a few books that might be used, and decisively became the boss.

In addition to the ship industry, the fishery industry has not fallen behind. While ordering the navy to expand the fishing waters, it reached a cooperation agreement with major commercial banks in the southwest and Jiangnan Xijing and other places to transport frozen seafood to various places in winter and dry seafood in spring, summer and autumn. The seafood caught by local fishermen in Lingnan can be sold directly to several local commercial banks, with clear prices and eliminate price reduction. Of course, fishermen can also choose to sell things to those vendors receiving goods at the seaport, and the transaction is free.

The policy has only been implemented for two months and the effect has come out. Huang Zhixing came to meet Tang Ning with a smile on his face, "Governor, you see, the commercial tax collected in the past two months is really gratifying, it can match the income of the first half of the year!"

Tang Ning looked through it and was very calm. He turned to the farming affairs in Chaozhou.

Huang Zhixing hurriedly replied: "The farming work is still the same as before."

Tang Ning frowned. Thinking of the situation in Lingnan, he couldn't help but sigh and pondered: "If I have the opportunity to go out to sea later, I will see if there is any suitable food, fruits and vegetables for planting here, so that I can be rich together."

"Governor Gao Yi!" Huang Zhixing said with a respectful look on his face.

He loved and hated Tang Ning before, but now he respected and loved her, and he completely lost his temper. He implemented every policy order of Tang Ning unconditionally.

Tang Ning was really not used to Huang Zhixing's terrible appearance, so he waved his hand and signaled that he could leave.

Time flies, and the year is coming again. When people get busy, they will inevitably forget the days. It was not until Qiu Changsheng brought her new clothes that Tang Ning came to his senses. Looking at the big red lantern that had just been replaced under the eaves of the outer corridor of the study, he murmured in a daze: "I am one year older, and you have become a big girl!"

Qiu Changsheng covered his face and chuckled, "Sister-in-law, just forget about what you said at home, but it will attract hatred if it is spread!"

Tang Ning is getting older and tenderer now, with a slender waist and a slim necklace, not like a woman who has given birth to a child at all.

Tang Ning was still thinking about what Qiu Jingming said before, looking at Qiu Changsheng with a complicated expression, pulled her to the side and sat down, and asked, "Changsheng, have you ever thought about what kind of husband you will marry in the future?"

Qiu Changsheng lowered his head shyly and shook his head.

Tang Ning was anxious, "Didn't you think about it or are you embarrassed to say it? Don't worry, only our sister-in-law here will definitely not be spread."

Qiu Changsheng was also anxious and bit his lips and looked at Tang Ning pitifully, "Sister-in-law, I really never thought about it. If I insist on saying anything, I want to marry someone like my elder brother."

Tang Ning was so worried, "It's hard to find a big brother like that!"

It’s not that she is boasting about herself, Qiu Jingming is not bad except for her background. No matter whether it is her appearance, mind or luck, he is outstanding in everything. What’s rare is that he has feelings and loyalty and devoted himself to her.

Qiu Changsheng couldn't help laughing, "Sister-in-law, you all say that my elder brother is not easy to find, so I can't make things difficult for you, right? It depends on fate!"

"At a young age, why are you so angry!" Tang Ning murmured and said casually: "We will go to Beijing to attend the birthday party of the Supreme Emperor in the next year. Then I will take you with you. If you marry you in Xijing, would you be happy?"

Qiu Changsheng was a little surprised, and then lowered his eyes and said, "It's OK if that is true."

"Are you not worried? Are you not sad?" Tang Ning asked.

Qiu Changsheng smiled lightly and looked at Tang Ning sincerely, "Sister-in-law, to be honest, when grandpa and elder brother took me to seek medical treatment, I thought about letting them give up on me, but they disagreed. If it weren't for you, my life would have been gone long ago!

The doctor said that this is a weak disease caused by the mother's womb. It is a disease of wealth and prosperity. It needs to be nourished and nourished, and avoid joy and sorrow. So I have long seen it. No matter what the situation of my husband's family is in the future, I will put myself first and live my life calmly, so that I can be worthy of your good intentions over the years."

Tang Ning was moved by Qiu Changsheng's words for a long time and was speechless. He clenched his fists tightly and loosely, loosely and tightly. After thinking about it for a while, he still told Qiu Changsheng what the emperor said.

Qiu Changsheng's reaction was very calm, "I think it's a big deal. I'll marry you every now and then. If Huang Shangzhen pointed me at the marriage, it would be my blessing. Sister-in-law and brother don't have to worry about me, I can."

Although Qiu Changsheng repeatedly guaranteed that there was no problem, Tang Ning could not really feel at ease. He went back and discussed with Qiu Jingming and prepared to arrange some loyal and personal maids for Qiu Changsheng.

The candidates were naturally found from the orphans I took in before.

When A Yin heard about this from Chai Jianshu, he brought the ten-year-old Le'er and six-year-old Xiaoyu directly to him, begging Tang Ning to accept them and ask them to serve Qiu Changsheng.

Tang Ning looked at the three of them seriously and asked, "Why?"

A Yin said honestly: "Governor, you have recreated kindness to our brothers and sisters. We have always wanted to repay you. Now we know that you need maids to serve you, and Le'er and Xiaoyu are just fine. If you don't dislike me, please accept them."
