Chapter 113 One word: Greedy!
Deadly silent, suddenly, only the middle-aged scholar's lingering sound remained in the side hall, and Fu Kang'an did not raise his head, and leisurely savored the sound of fragrant tea. Liang Pengfei's head seemed to have an electric current, and countless thoughts instantly turned into an instant. I don't know how many life and death moments I've experienced in my previous life, but he has already trained so that even though he knew that the bullet was pressed on his forehead, he could still talk and laugh calmly.
The middle-aged scholar's question was not just a simple rumor. Liang Pengfei almost analyzed his own scene in the blink of an eye, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This is not a rumor, but a fact."
Liang Pengfei's answer was so readily that he couldn't help but stunned the middle-aged scholar. Liang Pengfei glanced at Fu Kang'an at the corner of his eyes and didn't even raise his eyebrows. He only showed a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth, and he felt a little clear in his heart.
"I have such a courageous heart. I came from a pirate and dared to go to the mansion of Marshal Fu. Do you think..." The middle-aged Wenzi closed his eyebrows and looked cold and solemn.
"Caomintang has nothing to hide when he comes to see the Governor. Besides, even if the Caomintang is born into a pirate, can't he serve the country?" Liang Pengfei interrupted the middle-aged scholar at this time.
The middle-aged scholar snorted coldly, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "There are many thieves in this world, which disturb the people's livelihood, destroy the world of great governance, kill people and rob money, destroy people and destroy family affairs, and it is hard to write about the matter of being a sacrificial bamboo. Even you, like you, want to serve the court......"
Fukang comforted the beard under his chin, and the expression on his face seemed very indifferent. The deep eyes fell on Liang Pengfei, but there was no emotion. As for the general, he lowered his head, as if everything had nothing to do with him, but his big hand pressed on his waist seemed to remind Liang Pengfei not to have any rash intentions.
Liang Pengfei smiled faintly, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, shook his head, and smiled. He didn't even have any fear on his face, even if there was no trace of nervousness, as if the middle-aged scholar had just said something.
When the middle-aged scholar saw Liang Pengfei's expression, his heart was filled with anger. "Why? I thought Zeng was telling a joke."
"Of course not. By the way, I haven't asked the teacher for his surname and name." Liang Pengfei seemed to be unable to see the anger emitted from the middle-aged scholar, and his tone was as friendly as if he was chatting with a friend, which made the middle-aged scholar feel so angry that he almost became internally injured.
The middle-aged scholar raised his eyebrows, as if he was at the moment of an attack, but he calmed down as if he felt something, because he heard the soft sound of Fu Kangan stroking the tea leaves with a cover.
"Someone's surname is Zeng, and his name is Dayuan." It was so hard that it jumped out of his mouth as if it had been frozen for a winter, but Liang Pengfei didn't care at all, because he knew that he could be completely sure that this Zeng was actually just a chess piece that Fu Kang'an used to test him.
Thinking of this, Liang Pengfei's doubts became deeper. He really didn't understand what Fu Kangan wanted to do. He was just a young man from a pirate family. Although he was considered a hero, well, there was no need for Fu Kangan to test it over and over again. He was not on a blind date, and he had to interrogate his family's background.
There was doubt in his heart, but no trace of his face was revealed. Liang Pengfei nodded: "It turned out to be Mr. Zeng, I don't know what Mr. Zeng thinks of the Holy Emperor."
"Bold!" The general suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes, and a fierce murderous aura rushed towards Liang Pengfei like the essence. "How could the Holy Emperor be commented on by you at will!"
Zeng Dayuan's face suddenly turned pale by the roar, and Liang Pengfei raised his eyes and collided with the general's sharp gaze without any timidity. The general also felt Liang Pengfei's gaze, and felt like a sharp blade with a sheath was swimming in the eyes. He couldn't help but frowned, and his big hand pressed on the hilt tightened slightly.
At this moment, "It's okay to inherit the scales." Fu Kang'an's light words came into the ears of everyone. The general replied in a deep voice, and sat back on the chair quietly as if he had just happened. He seemed to be indifferent to everything. However, his hands were still sitting on the hilt of the knife, like a demonstrative tiger, retracting his sharp minions, but they were still full of fatal danger.
Liang Pengfei also withdrew his gaze, and his expression seemed to be extremely respectful because of Fu Kang'an's words, but he kept mocking the female family members of the military general's family. "Kangxi is not your father, nor your mother, you are so excited."
This time Fu Kangan finally raised his eyes and looked at Liang Pengfei who was sitting, and his cold expression seemed a little softer.
After hearing Fu Kang'an's speech, Zeng Dayuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the general with some displeasure. Xuan and Zhengrong bowed to Tianyi, just like those performed in countless TV series in later generations, and began to praise the "Saint Emperor" Kangxi.
Liang Pengfei had already heard these praising words that had no nutritional value in later generations, but he still had to lift up his spirits and listened to the great achievements of His Majesty the Saint Emperor who made the world eat bran and drink with admiration.
After a long time, white foam had already flowed out of the corners of his mouth. Zeng Dayuan, who had dry mouth, finished praising him. At the end, he folded his fan and shook it, indicating that he was a knowledgeable and knowledgeable talent.
Seeing the guy's mouth with white foam hanging on the corner of his mouth and shaking his folding fan in a cold weather, Liang Pengfei almost laughed out loud, but fortunately, he finally did not lose his composure. "Mr. Zeng is worthy of being a talented man. He is familiar with the great achievements of the Saint Ancestor Emperor. It really makes Liang admire him, but Mr. Zeng seems to have forgotten a little."
"I forgot something." Zeng Dayuan raised his eyes and glanced at Liang Pengfei. Seeing his calm and calm smile, his heart tightened slightly, and then added: "Of course, the Holy Emperor has been governing for more than 60 years. His great achievements are indeed not something that can be said in a short while."
"Mr. Zeng seems to have forgotten that the Saint Ancestor Emperor appointed talents and used his talents, but he never cared about his origins. Even if the other party was once an enemy of the Qing Dynasty, he could still be tolerant. Not to mention the other party, Shi Lang, the Marquis of Jinghai of Qing Dynasty, and the Zheng family who was in Taiwan and had been with me for decades..." Liang Pengfei's lips curled slightly, and a smile appeared, as if he was mocking Mr. Zeng for not understanding why he mentioned the Saint Ancestor Emperor.
Zeng Dayuan stood there so blankly, the folding fan in his hand still maintained a sarcastic position, grinning, making the white foam at the corner of his mouth more eye-catching. The originally flying eyebrows seemed to be slapped in the face and shrunk.
It looked like a wild dog rolling a stinky steamed bun from the garbage dump. He swallowed it and rolled his eyes straight. As a result, someone threw a bone with a tendon, but couldn't stuff anything in his stomach. He could only watch the other wild dog stumble away.
"Okay, Master Zeng, please sit down too. I have just said that the person I use is talent, not his origin. If a young man like Pengfei is not used by Fu, wouldn't it be a pity?" Fukang comforted his long beard and smiled faintly.
Then he turned his face and looked at Liang Pengfei. "You are not lying, this is very good. Do you know that if you deny it just now, General Zhao will take you down immediately. I have always recommended only talents to Your Majesty that are worthy of letters, not those with different ambitions. You can understand." Fu Kangan's eyes turned sharply and his tone suddenly sank.
"The people of the people who are promoted by the Governor are remembered in their hearts. If the general is destined in the future, even if he is heartbroken, Pengfei will do whatever he wants!" Liang Pengfei lifted his front and fell to the ground. His excitement overwhelmed his face and his tone was strong and powerful.
Fu Kang'an then turned soft, and he stretched out his hand to help Liang Pengfei, indicating that he would stand up. "Originally, I wanted you to take the position of a thousand general around me, but since you were from a maritime merchant family and were well versed in water wars, I decided to let you ask you. I have reported to Your Majesty that you donate first and make contributions later. In this way, I am afraid you will become one of the officials who donated in our court, and you will be rewarded or promoted as soon as you donate."
Liang Pengfei gave a deep gift: "Thank you for your promotion and love by Governor."
"Haha, okay, Pengfei, do you know that our Guangdong-Guangzhou naval army is searching for pirates day and night, and the warships are stagnant. Our governor has requested His Majesty to imitate civilian ships and reorganize warships in order to be quick and not make any mistakes in the sea defense. Although our Guangdong-Guangzhou naval army is hundreds of warships in various sizes, it can only defend the base camp and not enough to pursue them, causing frequent reports of merchant ships. Over the years, all robbers have used Dongguan rice boats, but there are not many ships, and the people are suffering and tired."
"... Therefore, this governor has reported to Your Majesty that our gentry from Guangdong and Guangxi will raise 800,000 taels of funds to build warships for the use of the navy." Fu Kang'an looked at Liang Pengfei, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
At this time, the Master Zeng Shuai interrupted, "The Governor is preparing to order the Guangdong and Guangxi Shipyard to build 57 rice boats with 2,500 stone, 26 rice boats with 2,500 stone, and 20 millet boats with 1,500 stone, and will be completed in March. According to the provincial naval camp, the sea route will be located at a distance and the sea surface, and the troops will be patrolled to assist the old ships in a way that is not as good as the old ships."
"Eighty hundred thousand taels..." Liang Pengfei's heart thumped slightly. Eighty hundred thousand taels. Just using the money in the Chaoting shipyard, it was simply bullshit to build such a broken ship. Liang Pengfei is not a fool. After quickly calculating in his heart, he immediately understood the trick inside. This great Marshal Fu had to search at least 500 thousand taels of silver. He was so greedy that he was so fucking that he was extremely greedy.
