Chapter 2704 Scenery and Disaster

Mr. Zuo took the Ministry of Household officials and the calculated property register and went to see Wei Qi in great excitement. As soon as he saw him, he shouted: "Your Majesty, I am so happy. The Dafeng property sent by Lu Jincheng belongs to the wealthy family." 40% of the donation..."

Wei Qi frowned after hearing this: "Why is it only 40%? That is the property of an imperial dynasty!"

He thought that even if it was not equal, it should be 80% higher. Now it is only 40%. Could it be that the Qin and Gu families deliberately concealed Dafeng's property?

Master Zuo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, although the industry is only 40%, these industries are valuable. There are six islands. There are four large and one small five salt fields on these islands. These alone can add one million taels to the national treasury every year. The income of silver.

Everyone has to eat salt, but no salt has been found in Dayong or the desert countries so far. When fighting with them, they can only buy salt from Dongqing.

There is not enough salt in Dongqing. After selling it to Da Rong, you have to come to them to buy it, so the money you can get from the salt field is endless!

"What did you say? There are islands and salt fields?!" Wei Qi stood up from the soft couch in shock, walked down quickly and asked, "But is it true?"

In the past ten days, in order not to make people laugh at his lack of knowledge, he had refrained from asking what kind of property Lu Jincheng had returned. Therefore, when he heard this, he was so shocked that he couldn't believe it.

"It's true. I dare not lie to Your Majesty." Mr. Zuo said excitedly, and then said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Havent finished yet?

Wei Qi hurriedly said: "Ai Qing, keep talking!"

Master Zuo: "There are also two shipyards on these islands. It is reported that there are thirty-four ships, as well as ten master shipbuilders and one hundred shipbuilders..."

"There's even a dock!" Wei Qi was so excited that his hands were shaking. He had seen what it means to have a centipede insect die but not freeze... Dafeng has been dead for almost a hundred years, but it still preserves such a coveted thing.

The Chu Dynasty was established less than a hundred years ago, and since its establishment, it has only been busy with two things, one is to fight against the enemy, and the other is to fight against the powerful families. It is powerless to deal with navigation.

Furthermore, because Emperor Fengai burned down the palace before his death, all the shipbuilding blueprints were lost, and Da Chu was unable to build a large ship at all.

I didnt expect that when it was Wei Qis turn to become emperor, he would be able to get a large dockyard and a group of shipbuilders. It was really: God bless David!

Mr. Zuo is very good at flattering, and immediately followed up: "It can be seen that your Majesty is the true Dragon Emperor, the chosen master of heaven!"

By coincidence, Wei Qi thought so too... When he first started to plan for the world, he was still worried that it would not work. But now, not only has it worked, but he has also managed the world so well that he himself does not believe that he is not the True Dragon Emperor!

Mr. Zuo continued: "Your Majesty, there are two more good things."

Wei Qi said happily: "There is more? Aiqing, tell me quickly!"

Master Zuo said: "There is a large granary hidden in Fengqing Island among the six islands. There are actually thirteen large granaries in the world, not twelve. But Lu Jincheng doesn't know how much food is left in that large granary. , he has never been there.

He added: "There is an iron mine in the Shiwu Mountain near Dongqing."

"Is there iron ore in Shiwushan?" Wei Qi had been in the Northeast for ten years and had heard of Shiwushan, but he never knew that there was iron ore on the mountain. He just thought it was a useless stone mountain.

Mr. Zuo nodded: "The industry brochure says it is an iron mine. How much iron can be produced will only be known after a master from the Ministry of Industry is sent to the field to mine the stone and refine it. But no matter how much iron is produced, we will make a profit. "

Wei Qi nodded: "We have indeed made a profit."

More than just making money, this is a free inheritance, and it is an industry that generates money every year. It is a huge profit.

Wei Qi regarded this as proof that God recognized him as emperor, and was so excited that he cried.

Master Zuo thought he was superstitious, but as a loyal minister who knew how to look at faces, he cried with Wei Qi and said a lot of flattery.

He finally said: "Your Majesty, Lu Jincheng has returned so much property to David. Shouldn't he call all the ministers to discuss and see what title to give him?"

Wei Qi just had this idea, and seeing that it was still early, he issued an edict: "Summon Prince Wei, the six ministers, and all the ministers to come over to discuss matters."

Yuan Zhi, who was guarding the outside of the palace, immediately sent the Imperial Forest Army to invite you all. Half an hour later, the six ministers and several cabinet elders arrived, along with Wei Xiao, Qin Lao, and Cheng Geer.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." Brother Cheng saluted Wei Qi and said, "I heard that Your Majesty is going to summon all the adults to discuss giving Cao Min a title? Cao Min is thinking that the New Year is coming soon, so why not just give it up today? So that you adults can celebrate the New Year with peace of mind, the grassroots begged Grandpa Qin to bring him to see His Majesty and talk about it in person... Your Majesty won't be angry, right?"

Wei Qi smiled and said, "How come? You are David's hero. I treat you as my nephew. I wish I could keep you in the palace. How can you be angry?"

Haha, there is no need for me to support my family. I look at you every day and it affects my food.

But Brother Cheng smiled happily: "That's good."

He asked again: "Your Majesty, what title do you want to give to the common people?"

This question was too straightforward, which made Wei Qi a little unhappy, but he smiled and said: "You have made great achievements, I think you should be crowned king."

Mr. Zuo was an intimate of Wei Qi. Knowing that Wei Qi was stingy, he was reluctant to give Brother Cheng the title of king. He immediately said: "Your Majesty, no, Lu Jincheng is just returning the child, and he has not made any great military achievements. He cannot be given the throne." , too high, just make me an uncle."

Wei Xiao said: "My uncle is too low, it won't work!"

Wei Qi is so angry, you idiot, what are you doing to take my words? !

He suppressed his anger and nodded: "I also think that the uncle is too low... The Duke of Lu, who is hereditary and irreplaceable, although he is lower than the prince, can guarantee that your descendants will enjoy their salary forever. What do you think?"

"Master? That sounds great!" Cheng Ge'er was very happy and said with a longing look on his face.

When Wei Qi saw this, he was so frightened that he almost changed his face... The hereditary and irreplaceable Duke of the country gave you a brat like you, and just thinking about him made his heart ache so much that his internal organs ached.

After Brother Cheng frightened Wei Qi, he said: "But if I become the Duke of the country, wouldn't I be on an equal footing with Grandpa Qin? Let's forget it... Well, how about I become a Marquis, Marquis of the State of Lu?" , it sounds pretty good.

He turned around and asked Mr. Qin: "Grandpa Qin, what do you think?"

Mr. Qin nodded: "Well, the Marquis of Lu is not bad."

He looked at Wei Qi and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to discuss it any more. Let's make the Marquis of Lu hereditary."

Marquis of the State of Lu?

Is this guy worthy of using the former Lu State as a title? !

Wei Qi wanted to change Cheng Geers title.

But Wei Xiao has already said: "Uncle, he is the heir of the Lu family. The Lu family is the descendant of the former Lu State. The Marquis of Lu State is very suitable. That's it. There is no need to change it. The Chinese New Year is coming soon and there is a New Year's Day meeting. If you are busy, continuing to argue about this matter is just a waste of time."

Wei Qi could only agree.

Thinking that Brother Cheng was Qin Sanlang's brother-in-law, in order to win over him and show his benevolence, he asked again: "Besides the title, what other rewards do you want?"

Cheng Geer said: "Well, then give me Sea Pigeon Island and ten young boatmen who can build ships... I like to go to sea. With the island and the ship, I can go to the sea to play."

Smelly boy, Im just being polite, you really want it!

But the words have already been spoken, and the Sea Pigeon Island that Brother Cheng wants is the smallest of the six islands and does not have a salt farm. After Wei Qi felt heartbroken for a while, he agreed: "If it works, I will give Sea Pigeon Island to you." .
