Chapter 122: Too Poor, King Huai'an Solve Urgent Problems
"Money, money , money, still money!!"
After visiting three chambers of commerce in succession, Jiang Chen only received one sentence in response.
"You can have a boat, but bring the money!"
And now, the money Jiang Chen brought with him when he came to Jiangnan this time.
All of it was used to open branches of Lao Ba's secret restaurant and expand the recruitment of the Imperial Uniform Guard.
It can be said that Jiang Chen is penniless now!
With a heart full of melancholy, Jiang Chen returned to the Huai'an Palace.
The original plan to move out of the palace was abandoned because Jiang Chen's pockets were empty.
Looking at Jiang Chen who was full of melancholy, King Huai'an asked with a smile.
"Why is Lord Jiang so sad? What problem have you encountered?"
"Nothing, I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Majesty."
Jiang Chen didn't feel comfortable mentioning that he was short of money, so he could only smile and reply to King Huai'an.
But Jiang Chen didn't know that Prince Huai'an was in the palace.
I have long known that Jiang Chen was short of money and could not buy back the warship.
Looking at Jiang Chen's departing back, King Huai'an smiled and shook his head.
"This stubborn look is somewhat similar to how I was when I was young."
After saying this, Prince Huai'an walked into his study.
"Qingbei."
"The child is here!"
In the study, Yu Qingbei, who was handling Jiangnan government affairs for Prince Huai'an, raised his head.
He bowed to his father and prepared to lower his head to look at the mountain of documents.
"Don't look at it yet, go find our people from the Chamber of Commerce."
Seeing that Yu Qingbei still had to deal with government affairs, Prince Huai'an said with a smile.
"ah?!"
"Father, what are you going to do?"
Hearing this, Yu Qingbei raised his head in confusion and looked at his father.
You know, those chambers of commerce are the biggest secrets of Huai'an Palace.
Without the profits and support of these chambers of commerce.
The Huai'an Palace had long lost the ability to support the 5,000 Huai'an guards.
Seeing his son's puzzled look, Prince Huai'an told him that Jiang Chen wanted to buy back the warship.
"This Jiang Chen is quite courageous. He actually knows how to rebuild the navy."
After listening to the story told by King Huai'an, Yu Qingbei couldn't help but praise Jiang Chen.
"So, father, are you planning to take those warships?"
"That's right. It was originally to prevent Li Jingxuan from selling all the warships to the Japanese pirates."
"Now, since that guy wants to wipe out the Japanese pirates."
"Then these warships will naturally have to be returned to the navy!"
King Huai'an nodded and said what was in his mind.
"But father, those warships cost..."
"Okay, okay, this little money doesn't matter."
"As long as he can wipe out the Japanese pirates, it will be worth it even if I sacrifice a guild."
Before Yu Qingbei could finish speaking, Prince Huai'an raised his hand to interrupt him.
Seeing that his father had made the decision, Yu Qingbei said nothing more.
After putting down a pile of documents, he led his men out of the palace.
He hurried towards the chambers of commerce that he controlled behind the scenes.
Here, Jiang Chen went through some ideological struggle.
He gritted his teeth and came to King Huai'an's study.
After taking a deep breath, he raised his head and walked in.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Why, Master Jiang has another problem?"
Looking at Jiang Chen who was worried, Prince Huai'an, who had already guessed his purpose, smiled and joked.
"Your Majesty is joking."
"I came to see the prince to borrow some..."
"Why do you want to borrow money? You are a regent, do you still need money?"
Looking at Jiang Chen's embarrassed look, Prince Huai'an tried hard to suppress his inner smile.
"It's not that I'm short of money, it's just..."
"Okay, no need to say more."
"It's for the navy's warships, right?"
Hearing what King Huai'an said, Jiang Chen was stunned.
"How could the prince know?!"
"If even this little thing doesn't even make me aware of it."
"Then I have spent most of my life in Jiangnan for nothing."
As he was speaking, Yu Qingbei walked in with a thin stack of documents.
Prince Huai'an did not say anything, but just took the document from Yu Qingbei.
Then, he walked in front of Jiang Chen.
"Take a look. If you need anything, tell me."
"Don't hide it, you're a young man now, just be frank!"
After saying that, Prince Huai'an took Yu Qingbei out of the study, leaving Jiang Chen with a bewildered look on his face.
Jiang Chen looked at the back of King Huai'an and scratched his head in confusion.
"Oh my god, this matter hasn't been resolved yet!"
"This King of Huai'an..."
Jiang Chen sighed helplessly and then he remembered the stack of documents.
So he picked it up, opened the document and began to read it.
All I saw was nothing else on that thin stack of documents.
It was the accounts of the warships that the navy had sold before !
Looking at these documents, Jiang Chen finally understood.
"It turns out that those warships were purchased by King Huai'an at his own expense!"
For a moment, Jiang Chen felt mixed emotions.
The emperor, the ruler of the Xia Kingdom, was so incompetent and tyrannical.
However, the King of Huai'an, who was just a vassal king, spared no expense for the land of Jiangnan.
After this comparison, Jiang Chen became more determined to eliminate the Japanese pirates.
If for no other reason, it was because Prince Huai'an helped him when he was in a critical moment.
This pair of warm hands is extended to the people of Jiangnan!
Jiang Chen was so delighted that he didn't even have time to change his clothes. He hurried out with the Jinyiwei in his casual clothes.
After arriving outside the navy camp, Jiang Chen summoned Liu Fengjie.
"Liu Fengjie, take these things."
"My Lord, what is this?"
In response to Liu Fengjie's question, Jiang Chen smiled mysteriously.
"See for yourself."
After saying that, Jiang Chen took the Jinyiwei back.
"Your Excellency really came and went in a hurry."
Looking at Jiang Chen's departing back, Liu Fengjie smiled and started reading the documents in his hand.
It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he did, Liu Fengjie was completely stunned.
"Warship?!"
"Fuck! Lord Jiang actually bought the warship back so quickly!?"
Looking at the document in his hand, Liu Fengjie carefully put it into his arms.
Then, he knelt down on the ground facing the direction Jiang Chen left .
"Liu Fengjie will live up to Lord Jiang's high expectations!"
Now that the warship issue has been resolved, Liu Fengjie no longer has any worries.
Under his recall, countless veterans of the navy returned to the navy.
The navy, which originally had only 1,500 soldiers, had regained its strength to 3,000 people in just two days!
Moreover, there were seven thousand old soldiers who were originally laid off by Li Jingxuan.
After being recalled by Liu Fengjie, they all rushed back.
In this way, in just five days, the navy returned to its size of 5,000 soldiers!
Looking at the message sent by Liu Fengjie, Jiang Chen smiled with relief.
"You son of a bitch, you Japanese pirates, I'll see how you can get away with it this time!"
However, although the navy was reorganized.
However, these soldiers who have not been trained for a long time will need some time to recover their combat effectiveness.
So, during this period of time, Jiang Chen sent out the sloppy young man.
Let him infiltrate the Japanese pirates and gather information.
