Good morning Daming

Chapter 1050: Tonight is Perfect
Liang Hu is waiting for news from former Zhang Yixiong.

"This is a big deal. If we can get it done, our children and grandchildren will have peace of mind."

During lunch, Liang Hu and his wife talked about business.

The wife smiled, with a fine wrinkle at the corner of her eye. "My husband never mentioned business to me in the past. Why did he make an exception today?"

The two of them were married at the behest of their parents and the matchmaker, but after marriage they got along very well and were very close. Compared with those who say that husband and wife should respect each other but turn around and keep mistresses and go to brothels, they can be said to be a loving couple.

Liang Hu was startled, then smiled. "Last time, Dalang wrote to complain that it was difficult to live in the capital, and that he spent a lot of money in the inn every day. So I thought, what if I buy a house in the capital? So he can have a place to study."

"This is too extravagant." His wife was shocked. "Da Lang is studying in the capital... I thought he should study hard, not enjoy himself."

"Having a stable place to live and a peaceful mind will help you achieve twice the result with half the effort." Liang Hu said, "Da Lang is smart. If he can win the first prize, our family will be able to make further progress."

"But I heard that houses in the capital are not cheap." The wife said, "You must be fooling me again."

"When have I ever fooled you about this?" Liang Hu said with a smile, "Don't worry about the money. If this deal is done, it won't be a problem to buy not only one house, but two."

"What kind of business makes so much money?"

"It's an exciting business. But I need to sell some things first."

"what?"

……

“How much is your conscience worth?”

Wang Shi looked coldly at his eldest son Wang Jian, "If conscience has a price, then sell it."

Wang Jian stood with his hands behind his back, his face flushed. "Dad, those businesses in the past... selling stolen goods for the Japanese pirates was fine, but this is inviting a wolf into the house! If the navy is destroyed, the Zhejiang coast will be defenseless. The Japanese pirates can come and go freely, and many families..."

"shut up!"

Wang Shi stopped his son, breathing rapidly, and scolded: "Little bastard, if you don't destroy the navy, this business will be cut off from now on. You like jade, don't you know where the money to buy jade comes from? Now you act like this, making your father sick!"

Wang Jian's face turned pale. "Dad, the Japanese pirates are ferocious. They only fought small battles in the past. I have dealt with them many times and know that they are a group of ambitious guys. Once they get the chance, they will be greedy. Zhejiang is our root!"

"I didn't see you show any emotion when I dug up the root of the problem before, but you are acting like a fool today. Idiot!" Wang Shi raised his eyes, "Someone come here."

"Master." Two followers came in, and Wang Shi pointed at Wang Jian and said, "Take Dalang to the ancestral hall and kneel there until tomorrow morning."

"Yes."

Two followers came over, "Master, please."

Wang Jian smiled bitterly, "Dad, do you know why I want to dissuade you from doing this?"

Wang Shi's eyes moved, "But who is bewitching you? Tell me, who is it?"

"No one." Wang Jian shook his head, then nodded, "Someone bewitched me."

"Who is that person?" Wang Shi's heart was filled with murderous intent. If such a confidential matter were to be leaked, based on Jiang Qingzhi's methods in Songjiang Prefecture, he, Wang Shi, would surely die.

Kill that man!

At this moment, Wang Shi clenched his fists.

"It's Grandfather."

"Huh?" Wang Shi suddenly became furious, "Rebellious son!"

His father had been dead for more than ten years. What grandfather? Could the dead be resurrected?

"I dreamt about my grandfather last night. He looked anxious, as if someone was chasing him."

Wang Shi's expression eased a little, "What happened next?"

People of this era believe in these things the most.

"My grandfather pulled me aside and said, 'Tell Dalang to turn back, turn back!'"

"Look back..."

"Just when I was about to ask my grandfather why, a gust of wind blew and he disappeared. Then I woke up, covered in cold sweat."

"Nonsense!" Wang Shi waved his hand, "Take it to the ancestral hall."

"Dad, turn back!"

"Father! Father!"

The shouting was still ringing in his ears, but Wang Shi had already smiled.

"Once the navy is destroyed, Zhejiang will be ours. Sasaki Chimu said he would give Wang an extra 10% profit. With that 10% a year, they can at least buy two houses in the capital. Since we are not allowed to keep more land, Wang can just buy a house. After hoarding for a few years, a dozen years, or even dozens of years, if our children and grandchildren are short of money, they can sell a house and have everything. Isn't this more reliable than land?"

The trusted steward who had been standing nearby laughed and said, "Those families are worried and depressed. They say that without the land that can guarantee a yield regardless of drought or flood, they will have to live off their land from now on."

"Those idiots." Wang Shi narrowed his eyes, "Keep an eye on the dock, and report immediately if there is any news. Also, Dalang can't go to meet those people tonight, you go."

"Yes." The steward said, "Master, the eldest son was just confused for a moment."

"Hmm!" Of course the king's servant would not play any killing game, that was exclusive to the emperor.

The steward then took his leave, and Wang Shi sat down, just sitting there in a daze for a long time.

"Ancestor?"

After a long while, he said quietly, "From the day I sold the stolen goods for those people, I have no ancestors!"

……

The afternoon sun was getting hotter and hotter. On the dock, the navy officers and soldiers were still training.
"Train during the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter," said Chen Yu.

After returning to Hangzhou, Wu Jin wisely chose to lie low, staying in his room all day without going out, and even had his meals delivered to him by his confidants.

Deputy Captain Zheng Yuan took over everything in the navy. Zheng Yuan was a smart man. He brought Captain Chen Yu, who was favored by Jiang Qingzhi, with him and discussed and decided everything with Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was a little uncomfortable at first, Zheng Yuan hooked his shoulder and said: "I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart, whoever Chang Wei Bo likes will surely be successful.

Today, I seem to be more powerful than you, but who can tell what will happen in a few years? I am willing to befriend you today, and I also want to take care of each other in the future. Don't say that you have impure intentions. The ones who really have impure intentions are those who seem to be gentlemen, but are actually full of small calculations. "

This was said frankly, and Chen Yu remained silent.

Afterwards, the two of them cooperated and trained the naval officers and soldiers to the point of extreme ecstasy.

"Rest." Following the order, most of the officers and soldiers on the deck sat down.

"Isn't it too harsh?" one general said, "It seems that our brothers can't bear it anymore."

"Ask the uncle?" Zheng Yuan looked at Chen Yu.

The generals watched this scene with sour feelings in their hearts, thinking that a newly promoted centurion, the guy who used to salute first when he saw me, is now the hot target of the navy. It's really unfair.

Chen Yu said, "Okay."

Zheng Yuan said with a smile: "The old man is very brave and powerful, and he is intimidating even without getting angry. Every time I see him, I get flustered. It's best if you go. Even if the old man is angry, he won't get angry just by looking at you. If it were me, I might get kicked."

Zheng Yuan has always been frank in dealing with Chen Yu, so Chen Yu finds it difficult to refuse.

Later Chen Yu went to see Jiang Qingzhi.

"Too much training?" Jiang Qingzhi glanced at Chen Yu. "What do you think?"

Chen Yu thought about this on the way here. "I once heard Lord Bo say that alternating between tension and relaxation is the right way to train soldiers. So I thought we could give the brothers a break."

"This matter..."

Jiang Qingzhi shook his head. "The opening of the sea is urgent. The Japanese pirates are rampant in the outer seas. If they are not completely wiped out, how can merchant ships dare to go out to sea? The navy should escort the opening of the sea. Time is of the essence and we must seize every minute."

When Chen Yu returned to the navy and told them about this, the generals sighed, but no one dared to object.

"My Lord has ordered that the opening of the sea is urgent and we must seize the day. The navy should train hard and be ready for battle as soon as possible."

The naval officers and soldiers secretly complained, but they were intimidated by Jiang Qingzhi's power and could only complain in their hearts.

All this fell into the eyes of the people on the shore.

"I'm really exhausted. Send someone to tell them that tonight is perfect!"

Wang Shi's trusted steward smiled and gave the order.

At a stall not far away, a man in cloth clothes and straw sandals was drinking tea. While chatting about business with the stall owner, he seemed to be casually paying attention to everything happening at the dock.

On the seashore, a fishing boat was drifting not far from the shore.

A horse came galloping over, and the man on the horse raised his hand towards the fishing boat.

"Tonight is perfect."

The men on the fishing boat looked at each other and all showed expressions of ecstasy.

"Go back and report."

The fishing boat slowly sailed away.

Off the coast, hundreds of pirate ships were scattered everywhere, and more than a dozen large ships were parked in the deep sea. When the fishing boat approached, someone said, "They are back."

On the ship, Sasaki Chiaki smiled and said, "I hope it's good news."

The people on the fishing boat boarded the big ship and said, "The message from over there is that tonight is very safe."

Sasaki Chiki smiled and said, "The stars and the moon are dim tonight, which is perfect for a surprise attack. Tell those people to let their men rest quickly and wake them up after dinner. Take out all the good things you have accumulated, and give them plenty of wine and meat, so that they can eat their fill."

"Chief, Jiang Qingzhi's place..." Someone said, "Should we be more cautious and send our people to scout out?"

"The relationship between Wang Shi and us is one of mutual success. He knows that he will die if he fails. The scouts..." Sasaki Chiki thought for a moment and shook his head: "Wang Shi is a local tyrant and is more informed than us. There is no need for him to do that."

The man nodded and returned to his cabin, leaning back to take a nap.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Why are my eyelids twitching all the time?"

……

"Fantai."

It was a perfect time to sleep in the hot summer. Zhou Wang was also dozing off. He was a little grouchy after being woken up. "What's the matter?"

The man who came was his confidant, who whispered, "Prime Minister, there is news from the capital that the Prime Minister has taken action and severely punished several tyrants in the capital who lied about the amount of land they had."

"Is this a turn?" Zhou Wang was startled, and stood up and walked around a few times, "This shouldn't be the case!"

"It is said that His Majesty reprimanded Yuanfu."

"Tsk!" Zhou Wang felt a headache. "If this goes wrong, the Prime Minister might ask me to cooperate with Jiang Qingzhi."

"Fangtai." Another confidant came in, "It's a big deal."

"explain."

"Someone has delivered a letter."

Zhou Wang took the letter, opened it, and his expression became extremely excited.

He looked up, "Do you know who it is?"

The confidant shook his head and said, "When I came back from changing clothes, there were more letters on the table."

"Someone wants to do something ruthless to Jiang Qingzhi, and wants this officer to cooperate."

"Hey! How do we cooperate?"

"Have a fight with Jiang Qingzhi!"

Zhou Wang said playfully, "This... might be a trap. However, even if it is a trap, my tolerance for Jiang Qingzhi has reached its limit, so it's just right..."

Zhou Wang then went to see Jiang Qingzhi and talked about the current public discontent in Zhejiang. Finally, he said, "Chang Wei Bo, I support the new policy, but we should also prioritize it."

This statement is questioning Jiang Qingzhi's methods.

——You young boy are too eager to do things.

Sun Bu Tong's eyes widened, thinking that Zhou Wang was so bold as to question his boss.

How would your boss respond?
As Sun looked ahead to the present, Jiang Qingzhi pointed outside.

"roll!"
