Chapter 658

Zhang Hao accompanied Jiajing to Tangshan.

When the common people saw it, they saluted one after another, while Jiajing looked at the wheat fields outside.

Now that the wheat has been harvested, the people are still busy in the fields.

"Zhang Hao, do you know how this year's grain harvest is?" Jiajing asked Zhang Hao outside the window.

"Your Majesty, I don't know about this, I haven't paid attention to it!" Zhang Hao shook his head and said.

"You didn't ask about the land I gave you?" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and said dissatisfiedly.

"Your Majesty, I've been busy outside this year, all thanks to my wife, otherwise, the land in my house would probably be barren!" Zhang Hao immediately said with a wry smile.

"That's right, but you still need to know about farming. If you don't know about farming, how do you know the sufferings of the people? You have to pay attention to this!" Jiajing said, knowing in his heart that Zhang Hao really doesn't have time to take care of family affairs now.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Hao said immediately, cupping his hands.

"I look at those people, although they are dark, but they are not very thin, and there is a little smile on their faces, which means that their harvest this year is not bad. I see that the houses in the distance are rebuilt by you. ?” Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and continued to ask.

"Yes, unified construction, brick houses, as long as there is no war, there is no problem with those houses!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"You've done a good job. The people in the capital, I know, can live a decent life. The people in the south are not bad either. Only the people in the northeast and northwest, and the people in the southeast may live worse. But in the future, there will be problems in the northwest. Not so much, in the northeast, facing the Jurchen and other ethnic groups, there are wars from time to time, and the life of the people is inevitably unstable, and the same is true in the southeast!" Jiajing said worriedly while sitting there.

"Your Majesty, it will definitely be resolved. Now the Central Plains has been resolved, the Northwest side has been resolved, and the Shandong side is probably about the same, that is, the remaining places!" Zhang Hao immediately persuaded Jiajing to say.

"Well, when the work is over, you sit in the northeast, clean them up, and let the people live a good life!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

Originally, Jiajing planned to arrange Zhang Hao in the Northeast to guard the Shanhaiguan Pass and prevent and control the Northeast and Mongolian Tatars. Jiajing believed that Zhang Hao would be able to restrain them.

"Understood!" Zhang Hao said immediately, cupping his hands.

Then Jiajing watched all the way, and when he encountered something he didn't understand, he asked Zhang Hao. After all, Jiajing rarely left the palace, and he had never seen many things, so Zhang Hao needed to explain to him.

At noon, when I arrived at a county town, all those people in the county government came out to greet him.

Jiajing also received him, asked about the local situation, and learned that life is now very good, Jiajing is very happy.

After eating, everyone continued to set off. After walking for a while, the army was stationed in a small village to rest.

There are tens of thousands of people living here, but there is no city wall. Jiajing lives in the barracks. The innermost is the Jinyiwei, and the outside is a 10 army.

"Has everything settled down, Your Majesty?" Zhang Hao had just arranged the defense of Jin Yiwei, when Zhang Rong came over and asked Zhang Hao.

"Father, I've settled down. I can only rest here today. Daddy, the pressure outside you must be greater!" Zhang Hao immediately said to Zhang Rong.

"There is no pressure. There are tens of thousands of scouts outside. We can know immediately what is going on. Here, there is probably no problem. It is useless for a small army to come over. We can definitely know in advance if a large army is mobilized!" Zhang Rong said to Zhang Hao, and then went outside Jiajing's tent.

Lu Fang immediately went in to report, and then Zhang Rong and Zhang Hao went in.

"Are you settled?" Jiajing saw the two of them coming, put down the memorial, and asked.

"Go back to Your Majesty, you've settled down, Your Majesty has worked hard!" Zhang Rong said immediately, clasping his hands.

"What's the hard work for me? It's just riding in a carriage. It's all your hard work. The reason why I didn't come out before was because I was worried that it would cost a lot to go out to the capital, so I never went out. Now, I have some money, so I dare to go out." Alright, this time I just took a closer look, in the future, I will go to a few more places, and try to come out once a year or two!" Jiajing sat there and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty should come out for a walk, otherwise it would be boring to be in the palace every day!" Zhang Rong nodded and said.

"Well, come and sit down, we will have dinner together later, this kid is doing well, these days, he has brought me too many surprises!" Jiajing pointed to Zhang Hao and said to Zhang Rong.

"That's what it should be. Anyway, the person has been handed over to His Majesty. If there is anything wrong, His Majesty should beat him, scold him, and clean it up when he should!" Zhang Rong immediately said with a smile.

"Well, it's not bad. At present, the personality is a little bit straighter, but overall it's not bad!" Jiajing said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Hao said with a smile when he heard it.

"Sit down, too, and we'll have dinner together later. I'm going to inspect the boat workshop tomorrow, and the sailors. I'll see the truth then. How about it? Are you confident?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao with a smile and asked stand up.

"Of course I have this confidence. After spending so much money, it must be to make His Majesty think that the money is well spent!" Zhang Hao said very confidently.

"See, there is self-confidence. Among these children, only this child has enough self-confidence. It was the same when we fought against the Tartars, and it was the same with those corrupt officials. It is also the same when we are going to fight against Japanese pirates. I just like this kind of self-confidence!" Jiajing pointed at Zhang Hao and said to Zhang Rong with a smile.

"He thinks little, doesn't think about anything, and doesn't know how to be afraid!" Zhang Rong also said with a smile, and he didn't have much to say about this son.

"That's good, why think so much? This kid is so lazy, he doesn't go out except to come to my alchemy room, so that's good, keep it simple!" Jiajing said.

Zhang Rong also nodded, and then the three of them sat there to eat. After eating, Jiajing asked Zhang Rong to rest.

He needs to sit in the military tent, and if something happens, he can know it immediately.

And Zhang Hao needs to stay in the tent to guard Jiajing. Once there is any change outside, Zhang Hao can protect Jiajing immediately.

At night, Jiajing sat there watching the memorial, while Zhang Hao slept on the recliner. Anyway, Jiajing couldn't fall asleep in the first half of the night, so he might as well go to bed first.

In the middle of the night, Zhang Hao had to be more vigilant, and he needed to know if there was any movement outside, so there must be no mistakes.

The next morning, after Zhang Hao woke up, he accompanied Jiajing to have breakfast. After breakfast, Jiajing took the officials to the boat workshop.

And those ministers didn't know why they came here, they just knew that Zhang Hao had set up a workshop here.Soon, Jiajing's carriage arrived at the gate of the boat workshop.

In the distance, Shen Lian brought some Jinyiwei Qianhu to the front of Jiajing's carriage.

"Minister, Jin Yiwei is in charge of Shen Lian, please greet Your Majesty!" Shen Lian came to Jiajing, knelt down on one knee, and said with cupped hands.

"Well, you've worked hard!" Jiajing's voice came from inside.

"It's not hard, it should be, everything inside has been arranged!" Shen Lian continued to cup his hands at Jiajing.

"Okay, let's go in!" Jiajing said.

Soon, the door of the workshop opened, and Jiajing's carriage dangled in, as did those ministers' carriages.

But here, they are all living quarters. The specific location of the workshop is still close to the sea, and a large number of docks have been built there.

When they got outside those docks, the ministers were very shocked. They found that those houses were very tall.

"Your Majesty! We're here!" Zhang Hao said as he rode beside Jiajing's carriage.

"Then get out of the carriage!" Jiajing got down very simply.

The other ministers also came down and were shocked when they saw the huge docks.

"This is?" Jiajing couldn't believe it, pointing to the dock and asked Zhang Hao.

"Your Majesty, it's the dock! It's where the ship is built!" Zhang Hao immediately reported.

"Oh, the boat is built inside?" Jiajing asked.

Zhang Hao nodded, and then those ministers also arrived behind Jiajing, pointing at the docks, discussing in a low voice.

Zhang Rong is also here, and he also wants to know whether Zhang Hao can build a battleship.

"Go, let's go in!" Jiajing said, and then the gate of the dock slowly opened.

Jiajing and the others walked in, and when they entered, their mouths were all wide open. The first thing they saw was a huge warship, which was almost built. The battleship was as tall as a seven or eight-story house. It's made of iron, it hasn't been painted yet, and it's jet black.

"This, Zhang Hao, is this a battleship? Such a big battleship?" Jiajing pointed at the battleship and said in shock.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is a battleship!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, this, this, won't this sink? It's all made of iron!" Jiajing still couldn't believe it, and so did the ministers. At this moment, Zhang Rong was also a little worried.

If he didn't know that the navy had received two warships and was already training, Zhang Rong would probably be scared to death. After all, the first impression of such a warship is that it will definitely sink in the sea. of.

"Your Majesty, this way please, the top has been emptied, and there are guards guarding it. Your Majesty will go up to see how big our battleship is!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's go up and have a look!" Jiajing nodded immediately and said, then walked in front, those officials followed behind, Yan Song stood beside Zhang Rong, and said: "I can't believe it, all of them are made of It's made of iron, how did Marquis Lu An think of it?"

"I don't know about this, let's go up and have a look!" Zhang Rong shook his head and said.

"I never dreamed that I could see such a big boat!" Yan Song couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
