Chapter 286 Be prepared

“Is energy produced?”

Wu Zheng looked at Song Yingxing, Qi Daokun and Chen Tingyang and asked.

Song Yingxing shook his head, "No... Prince, in more than three months, he tried to produce thirty-six guns, but only twelve guns are available."

Wu Zheng frowned, "So little?"

Qi Daokun smiled bitterly and said, "The prince should know that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to use drilling holes to make the barrel without forging... And it is even more difficult to engrave the rifle in such a thin barrel... Prince, this is not wood, it is steel!"

Song Yingxing echoed: "The barrel of thirty-six guns, and the hundred skilled craftsmen drilled, polished, and engraved day and night, and only 30% could use it... Unless there are tougher materials as engraving objects, if you want to make large quantities of this kind of musket, you may not be able to do it in a short time!"

Wu Zheng glanced at the three of them and suddenly smiled, "That's right, the war is over... no hurry!"

"The prince is wise!" the three of them bowed together.

"Then make a breech gun... the barrel is thick enough!"

The following sentence Wu Zheng made the three of them stunned.

"Gu knows that these days...you are living a very tight life." Wu Zheng comforted, "Gu can guarantee that everything will be fine soon."

Song Yingxing was excited, "Your Majesty said, does the Finance Department have money?"

Chen Tingyang was overjoyed when he heard this, "Then please pay the four-month wages of the craftsmen and workers in the military workshop first?"

Wu Zheng was speechless.

On the way back, Qian Qiaogong was very excited.

"You took me to see this new type of musket. Are you planning to... come out of seclusion?"

Wu Zheng looked at Qian Qiaogong with a strange expression and said angrily, "Where are you going out of seclusion?"

"So... do you still want to... detach it?"

"Is it too inconsistent to use such a heavy weapon on the heads of my compatriots?"

"Then...what is the purpose of trial-making new musket?"

Wu Zheng said lightly: "The country's important weapon is ready for trouble!"

....

When Wu Zheng arrived at Jiaxing Prefecture, he suddenly changed his course.

Lead his personal guards to raid the other courtyard of the Mo family in Haiyan.

With just one incense stick, dozens of remnants of the Qing soldiers inside were wiped out.

There is no suspense, Fan Yongdou and others were captured alive, and naturally, the Prime Minister of Xia was also among them.

Wu Zheng did not interrogate these people, and did not even get out of the car, but just ordered to return to Hangzhou Prefecture.

Qian Qiaogong was really puzzled and asked Wu Zheng, "How did you know they were hiding here?"

Wu Zheng replied: "Don't obsess with it."

"But... Didn't Mo Zhinian betray you and become the emperor?"

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "To be precise, it's not a betrayal. Businessmen are by nature seeking profit and avoiding harm. They always bet on both sides, or even bet on several bets... This is called not putting eggs in the same basket!"

Qian Qiaogong was stunned and then said angrily: "The world... is broken in the hands of these profiteers!"

"No, no." Wu Zheng smiled, "You look down on them too much... They don't have that ability yet, at most, they are just a messing stick!"

"Then... how do you deal with these profiteers?" Qian Qiao said respectfully, "If it were me, I would just cut them off with one knife. Why should I take them back to Hangzhou Prefecture!"

Wu Zheng smiled but refused to answer.

Qian Qiao said anxiously: "You can't... for some money, spare their lives?"

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "Nonsense... In your heart, am I just that kind of money-loving person?"

Qian Qiaogong looked at Wu Zheng in confusion and said nothing.

....

King Wu returned to Hangzhou Prefecture.

Zhang Huangyan led the people in the city out of the city to greet him.

After several repetitions, the King of Wu finally came back.

For Zhang Huangyan and the people in the city, the previous chaos was like a dream or a nightmare.

But when the King of Wu came back, a big rock fell in their hearts, and they could finally have a stable sleep.

When he returned to the royal palace, Wu Zhengxian sent Mo Yiqing back to the back house, comforted him a few words, and then went to the General's Mansion in front and summoned his subordinates to discuss matters.

When the staff arrived, they glanced over and had a lot of space left.

The General's Mansion or the General's Mansion is beyond recognition.

The left governor Xiong Rulin was still in prison, while the right governor Zhang Guowei was killed.

Qian Sule and Chen Zilong were also dead.

Mo Yunian enrolled in the court.

Everyone's faces include joy, melancholy, loss, and sorrow of cold lips and teeth.

Huang Changping waved at Wu Zheng, and Huang Changping spread his hands to recite the king's orders... Chen Mingxia of Jin was the left governor, Li Yong was the right governor, and Zhang Huangyan, the censor, temporarily served as the editor-in-chief of Han Ming Banyuetan... The rest of the officials advanced in order according to their original official positions, and each Jin was one level.

So everyone forgot the melancholy, loss, and the sadness of the cold lips and teeth, and all smiled.

Zhang Huangyan asked out of the list, "Please tell me... what should the people who are detained in prison be dealt with?"

Most of the people who were imprisoned in prison were the "rebellion army" organized by Zhou Ruzhang. Although there were a few remnants of the Qing army, most of them came from the guards of major wealthy families and wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan.

These are all scum, but they cannot be killed. At least, there are thousands of people.

However, Wu Zheng’s thoughts at this time were not on this matter. He was worried that someone would take over the Finance Department!

If it is said that Mo Zhong Nian left a mess, to be fair, it has been a bit too much.

In fact, don’t be obsessed with managing the Financial Department over the years.

So, why didn’t Wu Zheng allow Wu to return with obsession?

It’s not that Wu Zheng is not broad-minded enough, but that Wu Zheng has other plans.

The Finance Department has always been under Mo Zhinian's control and indirectly controlled the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. The two have actually become an ironclad piece.

Wu Zheng has realized that the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce will not lose its finale.

Then, it's time to trim the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

The Finance Department that left Mo Zhinian was still the Finance Department, but the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce that left Mo Zhinian, may not be the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

This time, the raid on the Mo family courtyard of Haiyan was captured by Fan Yongdou and others.

This gave Wu Zheng the confidence to rectify the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

As a result, Wu Zheng had a choice to replace Mo Zhinian, but Wu Zheng had to visit the cottage three times.

Wu Zheng thought about Zhang Huangyan’s question for a moment, "Let’s keep it in a few days!"

....

Ziyang Mountain.

Chongyang Temple.

Qian Qiaogong visited his sister, the princess Qian Jinxuan, as soon as he entered the city.

When brothers and sisters meet, things change and people change, they embrace each other and cry.

After a long time, Qian Qiaogong asked, "Sister, why... the prince did not blame you, why did you suffer here?"

Qian Jinxuan wiped away the tears on her face, "It was my sister who implicated my brother... If it weren't for the letter I sent... my brother should be a hero of the Northern Expedition now!"

"You can't say that. The cause of my father's death is doubtful. My sister can send someone to deliver letters from thousands of miles away... How can you blame me for being my brother?"
