Chapter 113 One word: Greedy!
Dead silence, suddenly, there was only the lingering sound of the middle-aged scribes in the hall, and Fu Kang'an did not raise his head. He leisurely tasted the sound of fragrant tea. Liang Pengfei's head was like an electric current, and countless thoughts turned around in an instant. I don't know how many life and death junctures he has gone through in his previous life. He has already exercised so that even if he knows that the bullet has hit his forehead, he can talk and laugh freely.
The middle-aged scribe's question was not only as simple as rumors. Liang Pengfei had analyzed his scene almost in the blink of an eye, with a smile on the corners of his mouth: "This is not a rumor, but a fact."
Liang Pengfei answered so quickly that he couldn't help but make the middle-aged scribe stunned. Liang Pengfei's eyes looked at Fu Kang'an and didn't even raise his eyebrows, but there was a meaningful smile at the corners of his mouth, and he felt a little bottom in his heart.
"How dare you to go in and out of the mansion of the commander-in-chief of Fu, who comes from a pirate, do you think..." The middle-aged Wenzi frowned and looked cold.
"If you come to see the governor, the grass people have nothing to hide. Moreover, even if the grass people come from pirates, can't they serve the country?" Liang Pengfei interrupted the middle-aged scribe at this time.
The middle-aged scribe snorted coldly, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corners of his mouth: "In the world, there are many thieves and thieves, disrupting people's livelihood, destroying the world of great governance, killing and robbing money, and destroying people's family. Do you and others also want to serve the court? ......"
Fu Kang comforted his beard, and the expression on his face seemed very indifferent. His deep eyes fell on Liang Pengfei's body, but he did not show any emotion. As for the general, he lowered his head, as if everything had nothing to do with him, but his big hand on the waist knife seemed to remind Liang Pengfei not to act recklessly.
Liang Pengfei smiled faintly, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He shook his head and laughed. Not to mention fear on his face, there was no trace of tension, as if the middle-aged scribe had just said a joke.
--------------------
When the middle-aged scribe saw Liang Pengfei's expression, he rushed up with anger in his heart. What's wrong? Do you think Zeng is telling a joke?
"Of course not. By the way, I haven't asked you for your name yet." Liang Pengfei seemed to not see the anger emitted from the middle-aged scribe, and his tone was as if he was chatting with his friends, which made the middle-aged scribe's stomach almost become an internal injury.
The middle-aged scribe raised his eyebrows and seemed to be at the moment of the attack, but he seemed to calm down with some feeling, because he heard the soft sound of Fu Kang'an touching the tea with a tea cover.
"The surname is Zeng, and the name is Dayuan." [ ***] It's like a word that has been frozen for a winter, but Liang Pengfei doesn't care at all, because he knows that he can be completely sure that this Zeng is actually just a pawn taken by Fu Kang'an to test himself.
Thinking of this, Liang Pengfei's doubts were deeper. He really didn't understand what Fu Kang'an wanted to do. I'm just a teenager from a pirate family. Although I'm also a handsome man, well, I don't need Fu Kang'an to test it again and again. I'm not on a blind date, but I have to interrogate my family.
There were doubts in his heart, but there was no show on his face. Liang Pengfei nodded: "It turned out to be Mr. Zeng. I don't know what Mr. Zeng thinks of the Holy Ancestor Emperor?"
"Bold!" The general suddenly looked up and opened his eyes, and a fierce murderous spirit rushed to Liang Pengfei like a substance. How can the Holy Ancestor Emperor comment at will?!
Zeng Dayuan's face suddenly turned white by the roar, and Liang Pengfei raised his eyes and collided with the sharp eyes of the general without timidity. The general also felt Liang Pengfei's eyes, and felt as if a sharp blade with a handle out of the sheath was swimming in his eyes. He couldn't help frowning and pressing his big hand on the handle of the knife tightened slightly.
At this moment, "Cheng scale, it doesn't matter." Fu Kang'an's light words came to everyone's ears. The general said in a low voice and sat back in a chair quietly as if just now, as if everything was indifferent to everything. However, his hand was still clinging to the handle of the knife, like a demonstrating tiger, withdrawing his sharp claws, but still full of deadly danger.
Liang Pengfei also withdrew his eyes, and his expression seemed to be extremely respectful because of Fu Kang'an's words, but in his heart, he kept disrespecting the female family of the general's family. As for your grandmother, Kangxi is not your father, let alone your mother. You are so excited.
And Fu Kang'an finally raised his eyes this time and looked at Liang Pengfei, who was sitting, and his cold expression looked softer.
After Zeng Dayuan heard Fu Kang'an's words, he was also secretly relieved. He glanced at the general with some displeasure and bowed his hand to the sky, just like the performance in countless TV dramas of later generations, and began to praise the "Holy Ancestor Emperor" Kangxi.
For these praises that have no nutritional value at all, Liang Pengfei has long heard thick calluses in later generations, but he still has to lift his spirits and listen to the great achievements of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, who made the world eat and drink.
For a long time, the corners of his mouth were overflowing with foam. Zeng Dayuan, whose mouth was dry, finished touting. At the end, he proudly folded the fan and shook it, indicating that he was an erudite talent.
Seeing this guy with white foam on the corners of his mouth and playing handsome with a folding fan in the cold weather, Liang Pengfei almost laughed, but fortunately, he finally did not lose his temper. Mr. Zeng is worthy of being a talent. He is actually familiar with the great achievements of the Holy Ancestor Emperor, which is really admired by Mr. Liang. However, Mr. Zeng seems to have forgotten a little.
--------------------
"What have you forgotten?" Zeng Dayuan raised the corners of his eyes and glanced at Liang Pengfei. Seeing his calm smile, he couldn't help but tighten his heart slightly. Then he added, "Of course, the Holy Ancestor Emperor has been reigning for more than 60 years. His great achievements are really not something that can be finished in a while."
"Mr. Zeng seems to have forgotten that the holy ancestor emperor Ren Xian can use his ability, but he never cares about people's origins. Even if the other party was once an enemy of the Qing Dynasty, he could tolerate it. Let alone talk about Shi Lang, the Marquis of Qingjing Hai, and the Zheng family, who was independent of Taiwan and had been with my Qing Dynasty for decades..." Liang Pengfei's lips bent slightly. He smiled, as if he was laughing at Mr. Zeng, who didn't understand why he mentioned the Holy Ancestor Emperor.
Zeng Dayuan stood there so dullly, and the folding fan in his hand still maintained a provocative posture. His mouth grinned, making the foam at the corners of his mouth more eye-catching. The original flying eyebrows seemed to be slapped and shrugged down.
It looked like a wild dog turning over a smelly steamed bun from the garbage heap. He swallowed it and rolled his eyes. As a result, someone threw a bone with meat tendons, but his stomach could not stuff anything, so he could only watch the other wild dog talk about the delicious meal.
"Well, Master Zeng, you can also sit down. I just said that the governor uses people, and the most important thing is talent, not his origin. Isn't it a pity that young talents like Pengfei are not used by Fu? Fu Kang comforted his long beard and said with a faint smile.
Then he turned his face and looked at Liang Pengfei. You didn't lie. That's good. Do you know that if you deny it just now, Mr. Zhao will take you down immediately. I have always recommended trusted talents to your majesty, not those with different aspirations. Do you understand? Fu Kang'an's eyes turned sharply, and his tone suddenly sank.
"The kindness of the governor's promotion is kept in mind by the people. He said that if the commander-in-chief is destined, even if he is brain-headed, Pengfei will not hesitate!" Liang Peng fell to the ground as soon as he flirted with his front, with excitement overflowing his face, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.
Fu Kang'an's face turned soft. He stretched out his hand and motioned Liang Pengfei to stand up. Originally, I wanted you to work for a thousand general positions around me, but since you come from a family of maritime merchants, you are well sumpy about water warfare. Therefore, I still decided to allow you to invite. I have made it to your majesty that you donated first and made contributions later. In this way, I'm afraid that you will become an official who will be one of the official who donated to the court, and will be rewarded or promoted as soon as you donate.
Liang Pengfei gave a deep salute: "Thank you for your promotion and love."
"Ha ha, okay, Peng Fei, do you know that our two Guangzhou water divisions searched for pirates at night, and the warships were stagnant. I have asked the generals of the navy to imitate the civilian ships and remake warships in order to be fast and not to make mistakes in the coastal defense. Although our two Guangzhou water divisions are in hundreds of large and small warships, they can only defend the main camp. Without the pursuit, the merchant ships were frequently reported to be robbed. Over the years, we have hunted thieves and rented rice boats in Dongguan, but there are not many boats, and the people are tired.
"...So, I have made it clear to Your Majesty that our two Guangshi gentry will raise 800,000 taels to build warships for the use of water division." Fu Kang'an looked at Liang Pengfei with a meaningful smile on the corners of his mouth.
At this time, the Marshal Master Zeng interrupted next to him: "The Governor is going to order the Liangguang Shipyard to manufacture 57 rice boats with 2,500 stones, 26 rice boats with 2,000 stones, and 20 millet boats with 1,500 stones, which are limited to be completed in March. According to the provincial water division battalion, the sea is far and near, distributed in the upper and lower oceans, and equipped with troops to patrols. It's not as good as the old ship.
"Eighta hundred thousand taels..." Liang Pengfei's heart jumped slightly, 800,000 taels. This money alone was used in the shipyard of the court. It was nonsense to build such a broken ship. Liang Pengfei is not a fool. After quickly calculating one in his heart, he immediately understood the tricks inside. This Fu Marshal, at least from Searching for the huge silver of 500,000 taels, greedy, really greedy to the extreme.
"However, we build ships in Guangdong and Guangzhou. Because the materials are so expensive, I'm afraid that these 800,000 taels are not enough to build so many ships, so... I heard that your Liang family has a lot of commercial ships. I don't know if it can be restructured into warships to be enough for this number?" Master Zeng's words can be regarded as ** nakedly telling Liang Pengfei to donate the ship. In order to facilitate the convenience of Fukang Anfu, he swallowed the huge amount of money of 600,000 taels.
