Gao Xianda returned to the Admiral's Mansion and settled Nan Huairen first.??.net

Nan Huairen is old, so it is naturally more difficult to get tired and hard.

Of course, Gao Xianda's more important thing is to take over those cannons.

Sanjin knew that they were back, so he naturally came over to meet him quickly.

Sanjin and Nan Huairen haven't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally missed each other very much. The two told each other about their father-daughter relationship.

Sanjin told Nan Huairen that she had built a huge battleship that could accommodate two thousand people according to Nan Huairen's drawings.

Of course, Nan Huairen said he wanted to go and have a look.

Then Sanjin said that he could go into the water now, but the weapon system had not been installed yet. If he had let it start sailing now, it would probably become a target for the enemy ship.

Nan Huairen raised his eyelids and looked at Gao Xianda next to him, and said, "Mr. Rui, you earned me over, probably for this matter. But the cannon you took from us seems to have not settled yet, right?"

Gao Xianda hurriedly said, "Oh, look, your relatives have finally met once, so talk more about family matters! You have nothing to do with business, ah, haha!"

Then Gao Xianda found an excuse to sneak out.

Nan Huairen knew that he had reached other people's territory, which was no better than at the foot of the emperor in the capital. Now the power of life and death lies in their hands.

I agreed that I could still be considered his father-in-law. I couldn't say that it was just a piece of meat on the chopping board.

So Nan Huairen just made a few jokes about Gao Xianda and did not really want to ask for money from Dahuan.

But Nan Huairen specifically emphasized to Gao Xianda and said, "Mr. Rui, the cannons transported here are the emperor's property. I don't care what you said to the emperor. But if you want to build another foundry bureau here, you always have to guarantee the minimum casting conditions, right?"

Gao Xianda understood that no matter what he wanted to do, money was inseparable.

When Gao Xianda opened his eyes, he saw it as if he was billing.

He saw a local chief who was like this for the first time. Not only did he not plunder the people's wealth, he instead paid all his savings.

Now he has almost consumed his own pocket and his previous assets. His living conditions are no longer as good as before.

But he couldn't tell the truth to Nan Huairen, just said: "These things are all slightest. Master, just look at it! Money is not a matter!"

He was timid towards Nan Huairen and stabilized his heart. He kept the father and daughter talking slowly, but he first asked for it and called his subordinates to hold a meeting.

"I went to Beijing to negotiate with the emperor this time, and finally solved the problem of artillery and brought Nan Huairen back. He promised to cast artillery for us. But no matter what, it costs money to build artillery. A large ship is far from enough. If you want to build other ships, you need more money. Is there any way you can get some money?" Gao Xianda asked.

Zhou Peigong said: "Sir, the local King of Peace South is very supportive of us. Whether it is public or private property, they have invested a lot of money in it. I think it is unlikely that there will be new funds in Guangdong. Fortunately, the emperor has waived our tribute for three years, so just wait for next year's taxes."

Gao Xianda knew that Zhou Peigong was right, but far-flung water could not relieve near-thirst. Zhou Peigong was not a contractor and could not understand Gao Xianda's anxious mood.

Gao Xianda followed him and said, "The taxes for next year must be kept, but do we have other ways, such as creating other tax sources first?"

Zeng Leyan stood up at this time and said, "I don't think so. When I met the old emperor in Mount Wutai, he asked me to bring a message to the current emperor. "Never add tribute," I have always kept in my heart. The emperor's current country can sit so firmly, probably has something to do with this. The governor came to discuss with you the matter of suspending shipbuilding, which is just to stabilize local public security."

Gao Xianda said: "Of course I know that we cannot simply increase taxes. If we continue to play like this, the people will naturally rebel if they don't have enough food. But this does not mean that we cannot create some new projects."

Wang Yu asked, "Why, do you have a new idea?"

Gao Xianda shook his head and said, "If I knew, what else would I have with you? But among us, some people have different perspectives from us, and they seem to know some information that we don't know. Isn't it?"

Although Gao Xianda did not name a name, anyone with discerning eyes knew that he was beating Chen Qili with words. After all, Chen Qili was the only one in Pingxi King's camp.

Chen Qili said: "What do you all look at me for? There are some potentials in me. If you have any needs, I can support you. But silver is a product of this world and I can't bring it in. I have a good time since I was a child. Compared to the ability to make money, I am far inferior to everyone here. Shang Zhixiao can take out 50,000 taels at a time, but I have to even take out 50,000 taels of silver."

Gao Xianda said: "Of course I don't want the little silver in your pocket. If this little silver is useful, I would have come out to raise funds long ago. The people will take one coin each person, which is enough. But I think that although Guangdong Province has a strong economy, there is too little silver at hand now. The main reason is that all the surplus silver is used to fund the Pingxi King far away in the southwest. The Pingxi King's annual consumption is not much, which means that his treasury is actually very fulfilling. You are the contractor of the Pingxi King camp, and you may be able to speak..."

Chen Qili said: "Are you thinking too much? Even if I am a contractor in his camp, I still have two points of face to speak in front of him. But since ancient times, military power, human rights and financial power have been three bans that cannot be moved. We will not subsidize them this year, and we may still be able to talk about it. But if I talk to him about reverse funding, I may not be able to come back alive!"

Chen Qili said it was quite scary, but it has always been rumored that King Pingxi was cruel by nature, so he might not be unable to do such a thing.

But Gao Xianda didn't like her, and even burst into laughter.

Chen Qili said: "Why are you laughing at?"

Gao Xianda said: "I have never said that he would fund us in reverse. I just said that his treasury is very fulfilling."

Chen Qili also understood it at this time and said, "So, are you trying to steal something from his treasury?"

Gao Xianda said: "The savings of King Pingxi who has been saving for so many years are nothing more than just recruiting soldiers and horses to rebel. If we help him, we can strengthen his loyalty. What? Are you really willing to let him rebel?" (To be continued.)
