Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Chapter 970

"Are you a Taoist priest? Why are you asking me?"

Wei Wu was still wondering if Zhang Hai would let him go after he finished scolding him, but this guy turned around and started howling again.

Wei Wu finally couldn't stand it anymore. He turned his wrist and took out the electric baton from the system warehouse.

"I'll count to three. If you don't let me go, I'll hit you and then throw you to Japan. Believe it or not!"

Whoosh!

Wei Wu hadn't finished speaking. Just as he said the four words "throw it to Japan", Zhang Hai disappeared from his legs.

The speed was so fast that Wei Wu felt like a big rat was running past him.

Seeing his behavior, Wei Wu shook his head helplessly, then turned his gaze to Master Zheng.

"Why are you back?"

"The imperial court has arrived. I left the dog bastard there to assist, and Zhang Hai and I returned with the supply ship."

After confirming that the two of them did not leave without permission, Wei Wu felt relieved. After all, there would be no problem raising a hybrid dog.

Moreover, he happened to have some things going on here, and Master Zheng could give him some advice when he came back, such as the things in Jiangnan.

So after Master Zheng finished speaking, Wei Wu immediately said:

"You've returned just in time. The court is bidding for road construction, and there's a problem with the eastern line. I was thinking of asking for your advice."

"That's a coincidence. I also have something to tell you, young master, and it's also related to road construction."

Hearing what Wei Wu said, Master Zheng responded with a smile, and then continued:

"This time I came back with more than 200 Japanese pirates. I plan to have them build roads to help the young master reduce costs."

"I originally wanted to bring more, but unfortunately the supply ship was undermanned, and there was also a large amount of silver on board."

"If these Japanese pirates riot, it will be easy to cause trouble, but I have already made arrangements. We will send some more people back in the future."

After Master Zheng finished speaking, a smile immediately appeared on Wei Wu's face. He really needs to be a smart person!

He always thinks about things that are beneficial to himself as the young master, unlike Zhang Hai, who is such a scumbag.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu immediately said:

"Master Zheng is the one who knows how to help me solve my problems, unlike that idiot."

As he spoke, Wei Wu fixed his gaze on Zhang Hai without disguising anything, and continued:

"When I have some free time, I'll find an opportunity to castrate that jerk and send him to the palace, so he doesn't have to bother me all the time."

When Zhang Hai heard Wei Wu say that he wanted to castrate a certain scoundrel, he immediately felt a chill in his crotch.

So he didn't dare to hesitate and immediately begged for mercy.

"No, Master, I'm wrong, okay? I just missed you so much that I got so excited!"

Wei Wu glared at him unhappily, but had no intention of paying any attention to him. Instead, he continued his conversation with Master Zheng.

"It just so happens that they can't recruit workers on the eastern front. If we send these pirates over there, the work efficiency will probably be greatly improved."

"Can't recruit workers? Master, has something happened?"

Master Zheng was still aware of the bidding matter, after all, it was going on before he left.

Moreover, when Wei Wu chose to recruit workers from the local area in order to take care of the people, he also spoke out against it.

Although he knew that it was a kind-hearted act, that was not what Master Zheng considered. He only cared about Wei Wu's interests.

However, when he opposed it at the beginning, Wei Wu made the decision with one vote, so he couldn't continue to oppose it.

However, Master Zheng opposed it at the beginning simply because using a fixed group of people to do the work would make them more skilled and more efficient.

But he never thought that there would be a situation where he couldn't recruit workers. You know, the wages offered by Wei Wu are not low!

Moreover, even the workers' breakfast and lunch are provided. With such good conditions, it is impossible not to recruit people.

But now, Wei Wu said that he couldn't recruit people on the eastern front, so Master Zheng thought something had happened.

Wei Wu did not hide anything about this and directly told Master Zheng the details of the situation on Qingxia's side.

After listening to this, Master Zheng pondered for a moment before asking.

"Master, what did you originally plan to do?"

"My original intention was to wait a few days until I was granted the title of Duke before going there, using my power to pressure others and randomly pick a few families to make an example of them."

"Female Duke?"

After hearing what Wei Wu said, Master Zheng's eyes narrowed, but his expression did not show much joy.

On the contrary, Zhang Hai, who did not dare to interrupt, immediately bowed and said when he heard that Wei Wu was about to be conferred the title of Duke:

"Congratulations, young master! Congratulations, young master! You have been promoted to the rank of Duke!"

Unexpectedly, just as Zhang Hai finished speaking, Master Zheng turned around and scolded him softly.

"Zhang Hai, stop talking nonsense. Being crowned a Duke right now isn't a good thing for the young master!"

"what??"

Zhang Hai looked at Master Zheng in confusion, not understanding why he said it was not a good thing when he had clearly been promoted.

Wei Wu watched silently from the side, feeling quite emotional in his heart. He didn't expect that Master Zheng and Zhang Hai got along so well.

You know, when Master Zheng spoke to Zhang Hai in the past, he never dared to use such a tone.

It is obvious that during this period in Japan, the relationship between the two has made a qualitative leap, which is also a good thing.

While Wei Wu was pondering the relationship between the two, Master Zheng also looked at Zhang Hai and explained.

"Young Master is too young. If he is made a Duke now, what will happen if he makes great achievements in the future? If there is no more title to be made, it means that his achievements will surpass his master, you know?"

"what!!"

Zhang Hai, who was originally a little confused, suddenly became gloomy when he heard what Master Zheng said.

Obviously, even with his limited political acumen, he could understand the meaning behind this sentence.

Seeing that the two began to worry about him, Wei Wu smiled and waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry, I have discussed this matter with His Majesty and have decided on a solution, so don't worry."

Master Zheng probably understood the relationship between Wei Wu and the Zhu family, and when he heard him say that, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Wei Wu is related to his future and hope. As a think tank, he sincerely hopes that Wei Wu will get better and better.

But even so, he couldn't help but ask.

"Master, are you, self-defiled?"

"Well, from now on, you can make some mistakes every now and then. Then the merits and demerits will offset each other. At least I won't have to worry about you for the next three generations of emperors."
