But this is also normal.

No one can be a perfect saint.

People like Hai Rui only appear once in thousands of years.

It is already rare for ordinary people to be able to enjoy Zhang Juzheng’s personal enjoyment without hindering my work.

Furthermore, although Hai Rui has excellent abilities, he is too honest, which makes his colleagues afraid of him. This kind of person can be a sharp sword, but he cannot ascend to the position of prime minister.

The prime minister needs to have a big belly and be able to tolerate things that are difficult to tolerate in the world.

It is said that “the prime minister’s belly can support a boat”, and this is the truth.

In fact, for the emperor, there is no need for the prime minister to be a saint. If he is a saint, the emperor will feel pressure.

The emperor needs the prime minister to be able to do things, and if the things are done properly, there is no harm in enjoying himself.

Just like the CEO of a company, as long as it can bring development and progress to the company, it doesn’t matter to the boss whether the dividends are higher or the lifestyle is worse.

And Qi Jiguang didn’t take Zhang Juzheng’s words to heart. It was Zhang Juzheng’s business to accept it or not, and it was his own business to give it away or not.

Zhang Juzheng doesn’t have to accept it, but he can’t help but give it away.

“Enxiang reminded me.” Qi Jiguang stood up and said, “Enxiang wrote to me and said that His Majesty had some objections to me. As soon as I received Enxiang’s letter, I rushed to the capital day and night. I am not familiar with the place in the capital. , so I can only visit Enxiang first, hoping that Enxiang can give me some guidance.”

Zhang Juzheng was very satisfied with Qi Jiguang.

This man is capable and knows how to fight.

He is able to compose poetry, and like Yue Fei, he is half a literati.

Give valuable gifts, speak nicely, and have a clear attitude, which means you need to be attached to yourself.

Moreover, this person’s name was known by the emperor, and he deliberately asked him to enter the capital. With the emperor’s military ambitions, Qi Jiguang would definitely be put to great use.

If such people are not promoted, then who should be promoted?

“Your Majesty wants to summon you. Your Majesty is not satisfied with the results of Southeast Asia’s anti-Japanese war.” Zhang Juzheng said.

“This…” Qi Jiguang was shocked.

Zhang Juzheng said: “Don’t worry, your Majesty is only dissatisfied with the Southeast Anti-Japanese War. He is still very satisfied with your ability.”

Qi Jiguang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “I wonder why your majesty is dissatisfied?”

Zhang Juzheng said: “Your Majesty told me that although the Southeast Anti-Japanese War has achieved some results, it is just a dog guarding the house. It can only ensure temporary peace and cannot fundamentally solve the problem. I wonder if the Japanese pirates could be so arrogant during the Chengzu period. ?”

Qi Jiguang smiled bitterly and said: “To be able to serve as a housekeeper dog now is really a last resort. During the reign of Emperor Chengzu, the Sanbao eunuchs made seven voyages to the West. The Ming Dynasty Navy was invincible, so how could the Japanese pirates dare to cause trouble?”

Zhang Juzheng said: “So your Majesty believes that the reason why the southeast is infested with Japanese pirates is because the Ming Dynasty did not have a navy. Therefore, smuggling along the coast is prevalent, leading to the proliferation of Japanese pirates.”

Qi Jiguang said: “Does Your Majesty want to impose a sea ban?”

Zhang Juzheng said: “Your Majesty does not intend to impose a sea ban. Your Majesty believes that the navy is not strong, so imposing a sea ban will only benefit the smuggling merchants and Japanese pirates. What your Majesty wants is the navy. Once the navy is reduced, we can go straight to Huanglong. Completely solve the problem of Japanese pirates. The sea ban will not be lifted by then, but it can only be done at your Majesty’s discretion.”

Qi Jiguang praised: “Your Majesty is really hitting the nail on the head, but I’m afraid it is not that easy to build a navy. Our Ming Navy has been idle for a long time. Even if we have the treasure ship drawings from that year, rebuilding the navy will not be achieved overnight.”

“What’s more, building a navy costs a lot of money. Can our Ming Dynasty’s treasury really support such an ambitious undertaking?”

Qi Jiguang expressed doubts.

Nowadays, although the Ming Dynasty’s treasury is not in a state of running out of money, it is still stretched thin and does not have much money.

Otherwise, we would not recruit soldiers and we would not dare to recruit soldiers on a large scale, because there is really no money to support these soldiers.

“Don’t worry, your Majesty will solve the problem of money, and your Majesty will also solve the problem of technology.” Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly, “Today, His Majesty is a king with magical powers. His magical powers are so vast that it is difficult for others to do so. For His Majesty, what you have learned is just a piece of cake.”

“I used to think that His Majesty’s practice of Taoism was a stupid act like Emperor Qin and Han Wu. I didn’t expect that our Majesty is different. He actually succeeded in practicing Taoism. He not only regained his youth, but also possessed unchangeable magic power.”

“You should also have heard that the reason why I have been able to do so smoothly and successfully in what I have been doing these days is not only the strong support of His Majesty, but also the 10,000 officials who caused the mutiny by His Majesty. capable.”

“Your Majesty has such powerful magic power, it is like the Great Luo Jinxian coming to the world. What others cannot easily do, your Majesty can easily do. This, you can let go

Heart. ”

Ever since Zhang Juzheng used the 10,000 robot civil servants provided by Jiang Hao, he admired the emperor’s unpredictable methods and even became a little superstitious.

You must know how difficult it is to cultivate 10,000 cultural people with strong business capabilities, loyalty and execution ability from scratch.

However, using magic to spread the beans and create an army, such a group of people came in an instant, and they were invulnerable. Zhang Juzheng had a completely new understanding of the power of magic.

“Your Majesty really has that kind of magical power?” Qi Jiguang felt shocked.

“Of course.” Zhang Juzheng said, “I saw this with my own eyes. How can it be false?”

“Then it will indeed be much easier for me to organize and train the navy in the Ming Dynasty. It seems that we have misunderstood His Majesty before. Your Majesty’s cultivation is really fruitful.” Qi Jiguang said.

Zhang Juzheng said: “The reason why your Majesty wants to train the navy is to directly attack the Japanese country and occupy the silver mountains of the Japanese country. The Japanese country is rich in gold and silver. If you can occupy the islands of the Japanese country, you can not only obtain a large amount of Gold and silver can also contain the Japanese countries and prevent Japanese pirates from causing trouble.”

“When you meet His Majesty, you must follow His Majesty’s intention and say that Your Majesty is a monarch with great talent and great strategy. What he needs is Wei Qing and Huo Qubing from the sea. I think you are very talented in this area.”

Qi Jiguang said with great joy: “Thank you for your kindness.”

Zhang Juzheng’s words made Qi Jiguang understand the emperor’s thoughts. He would be more calm when dealing with the emperor and leave a better impression.

Qi Jiguang felt that his gift was really not in vain. Zhang Juzheng was really doing things for him!

Longevity Palace, Academy of Sciences.

The Academy of Sciences is the latest institution established by Jiang Hao to recruit craftsmen and monks from all over the world to realize Jiang Hao’s rapid technological advancement.

At this moment, Jiang Hao looked at the huge rotating wheel in front of him and smiled with satisfaction.

The steam engine has been created!
