Chapter 74 Tangning Enters the Palace

"I'm afraid that the emperor won't let people go so easily!" Qiu Jingming frowned.

Tang Ning didn't care, "I have a way to get him to agree to let us leave!"

Qiu Jingming looked question marks.

On the third day of the lunar month, Tang Ning entered the palace in a carriage. Before the fifth day of the lunar month, the emperor did not have to go to the morning court.

When Tang Ning was invited into the imperial study, he happened to see Ning Chengyun staring at the boy kneeling on the ground in front of him with a dark face.

Looking at the clothes of the teenagers, Tang Ning knew that Ning Chengyun was teaching the child a lesson. He immediately looked at his eyes and looked at his nose and his heart, and stood by silently waiting patiently.

The emperor had just vented his anger and seemed to be unsatisfied. He said angrily: "Give you three days to reflect on where you are wrong. Write two thousand words to reflect on yourself and hand it over, get out for me!"

The princes retreated in panic.

Tang Ning glanced at him and withdrew his gaze.

Ning Chengyun breathed a long sigh, rubbed his eyebrows, and asked Tang Ning slightly tiredly: "What is the matter with Mrs. Nanyue entering the palace now?"

Tang Ning hurriedly bowed and reported: "Your Majesty, this is actually the case. Earlier, I was training troops in Chaozhou. I took a boat south alone. I took a boat for several days and saw a land different from Daqi. The people there looked different from us and their daily life was completely different. However, although they were behind, they had the same good thing that would make you moved."

"Oh? What?" Ning Chengyun was curious. He was now the most noble person in Daqi. What else could he be moved?

Tang Ning lowered his voice and said, "Gold Mine."

"Gold Mine!" Ning Chengyun's eyes suddenly widened, "It's true?"

Tang Ning focused on the key point, "It's true that they don't understand the role of gold mines, and they also use gold mines as stone benches."

Ning Chengyun's mouth twitched as he heard it, he sat down slowly, and murmured: "It seems to be true? When did you find out?"

Tang Ning explained: "I found out that the mainland was not long after I found out that I led my troops to Jiangnan to support me. It was not because I intended to conceal it, but because the land was far away from Daqi. You also know how dangerous the sea was. Last time, I was lucky and didn't encounter bad weather, but we can't hold on to this kind of luck mentality.

Originally, I planned to recommend improving the warships to you. As long as the warships meet the long-distance voyage standards, we can go over and trade with them. As a result, when we encounter war, this matter has been delayed. Now Da Qi is on the right track, and I think it is time to mention this matter to you."

Ning Chengyun nodded slowly, without commenting, and pondered: "Do you have any ideas for improving the warship?"

Downing paused and said, "Yes! First of all, the ability to resist storms must be improved to the highest level, and secondly..."

Tang Ning listed his requests one by one, and the civil servants around Ning Chengyun wrote hard, and wrote a full page before stopping.

Tang Ning said: "That's all. I think there are many good things overseas, so I want to ask the emperor to allow me to take my husband to go out to sea for an adventure."

Ning Chengyun only felt his eyebrows were scattered and could not keep up with Tang Ning's rhythm. "This is slow in advance. Let's get the gold mine matters done first. By the way, I'll tell you one more thing. These are the candidates for prefects I have planned. Look, if there is no problem, let them manage Jiangnan, and you can also return to Chaozhou with peace of mind. At that time, you will have to lead the team to handle the gold mine matters."

When Tang Ning heard that he could go back to Chaozhou, his eyes lit up instantly. He quickly opened the booklet. After reading her brows, he frowned and said, "Your Majesty, the people you mentioned above seem to be very good. Let me see you. I will definitely say that there is no problem, but there is one thing I can't rest assured."

"What's the matter?"

Tang Ning lowered his eyes and said, "You know that I am developing water conservancy projects in Jiangnan. The water conservancy projects over there are almost completed. The speed is faster and can be completed before the summer is over, so I want to ask the emperor to help me."

"Do you want me to help you complete the water conservancy in Jiangnan?" Ning Chengyun looked clear.

Tang Ning nodded vigorously.

Ning Chengyun was both relieved and helpless, "Forget it, if you have this heart, I will fulfill you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Tang Ning left, the eldest grandfather and Ning Chengyun said respectfully: "Emperor, the national treasury is almost empty now. You have promised to Pingnan Hou. The Ministry of Revenue learned about it, but I am afraid that you will enter the palace again and make you upset."

Ning Chengyun sighed and said, "What can I do? The Hou of Pingnan is also dedicated to the people. Besides, I want to see if her trouble can solve the floods in Jiangnan after solving such a problem."

The eldest father-in-law was stunned for a moment and said dryly: "Maybe it can."

He said this, but he didn't think so in his heart. Jiangnan has been flooding every year. This problem has been around for a long time and no one has ever managed it. Before, Duke Anguo was sent to Anhong County and even made a drainage truck. The result was the same. He didn't believe that Pingnan Hou could solve this problem. However, Pingnan Hou is now a big celebrity in front of the emperor, so he dare not say anything bad.

The next day, Ning Chengyun issued a direct order and allocated a large sum of silver to Jiangnan.

When the Minister of Revenue learned about it, he rushed into the palace and sweared to stop it to the death, but was turned away by Ning Chengyun. The women in the harem also learned about this from the rumor, and they all became angry and ran to the palace of the Queen Nangong family to inquire about the news.

Although these concubines were granted a title, the reward had not yet been received. According to the standards of the concubines, they could get a lot of good things, but because the treasury was empty, the matter was still undecided. At this time, the emperor allocated a huge sum of money to Jiangnan, which was like stepping on their tails and not jumping.

Nangong listened silently to the complaints of the women in the harem, and always had a stern face. After they finished speaking, they said slowly: "Did you forget that the people in the harem should not discuss the government affairs? No matter whether the emperor has allocated funds to Jiangnan, it is not what you should ask. Today, if you think about your first offense, I will not pursue it. Don't let me hear such a transcendent sentence in the future."

The women were so scared that their faces were pale. Although they were angry and unwilling to accept their mistakes on their faces.

After they left, Xier, the Nangong family's personal palace maid, came in slowly to report: "Empress, as you ordered, I have sent someone to send a warning to the palace ladies."

Nangong curled the corners of his mouth, slowly closed his eyes with satisfaction, and asked, "How is the eldest prince?"

Xier hesitated for a moment and replied in a low voice: "Today, several princes started fighting in the school and were all punished by the emperor."

Nangong's eyes suddenly opened and he asked angrily: "What's going on?"
