Chapter 964
Thinking of this, Wei Wu suddenly sneered.
"I was just speculating before, but now it seems they know that building roads can make money, otherwise they wouldn't be so closely united." "No wonder the man who approached you was so arrogant. After all, he has the entire Jiangnan gentry behind him, so he has the right to be arrogant."
"It's just that I only told the Sihai Chamber of Commerce that building roads can make money. How did these Jiangnan cancers know about it?"
While speaking, Wei Wu looked at Qingxia again.
"Talk to Huang Tianfeng about this matter later and see if you can find the person who leaked the information."
"Yes, Master, I will go find President Huang later."
"Not in a hurry."
Seeing Qingxia was a little anxious, Wei Wu raised his hand and waved to her to calm down, and then continued:
"From now on, work on the East Line will be suspended. There's no point sending people over from Jiangnan. I have to go there myself."
"However, the battle reports and spoils from the navy's recent expedition to Japan will soon be returned, so I cannot leave the capital for the next few days."
"I have to go to the court meeting when the time comes. After I receive the reward from His Majesty, everything will be fine. Then I can go meet these Jiangnan parasites!"
After hearing what Wei Wu said, Zhu Yuxuan, who had been silent nearby, suddenly interrupted.
"Husband, is the Emperor going to reward you again? What is it this time?"
Hearing his wife asking, Wei Wu immediately said in a very Versailles tone:
"Nothing much, just give me the title of Duke of Zhenguo."
"Husband, you are going to be promoted to Duke!!"
Upon hearing that Wei Wu was going to be promoted to Duke, Zhu Yuxuan was very happy, and Wei Wu was also very satisfied with her reaction.
But just as he was about to continue speaking, the smile on Zhu Yuxuan's face turned into full of doubt.
Wei Wu was a little confused by her reaction, but at this moment Zhu Yuxuan asked a question.
"My dear husband, isn't Duke of Zheng a title of the Chang family? Why would the emperor confer it on you?"
After hearing this, Wei Wu realized that Zhu Yuxuan was wrong, but it was also normal to say so.
After all, the Ming Dynasty never had the title of Duke of Zhenguo. When Zhu Yuanzhang said it, Wei Wu himself was also confused.
So knowing that Zhu Yuxuan had misunderstood, Wei Wu immediately explained:
"It's not Duke Zheng, it's Duke Zhenguo, the one that means pillar of the country!"
"I see."
After the confusion in his heart was resolved, Zhu Yuxuan smiled again and congratulated him:
"Congratulations to my husband for becoming the pillar of the country, the Duke of Zhenguo."
Qingxia was still in shock, but after hearing Zhu Yuxuan's congratulations, she finally reacted and quickly said:
"Congratulations, young master, on becoming the Duke of Ming Dynasty."
As a pretentious person, Wei Wu was quite satisfied with the reactions of the two women, but he still waved his hand in a humble manner.
"Hahaha, it's still early. It's not too late to congratulate after the lockdown."
Seeing Wei Wu's smug look, Qingxia and Zhu Yuxuan both laughed.
After some teasing, Wei Wu put away his smile, turned to look at Qingxia and gave her some advice.
"Qingxia, you will stay in the capital from now on. Those parasites in Jiangnan are evil-minded. If there is any trouble on the eastern front, just send someone over there."
"Wait until I'm done with this, then you can come with me!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Wei Wu gave Qingxia the instructions and let her go back to rest.
Wei Wu was tired after a day of work and finally had a good sleep after finishing his business.
He slept until noon the next day before slowly opening his eyes.
I was originally planning to check in at the Institute of Science and Technology, but as soon as I went out, I saw three people standing in the yard.
They are Qingxia, Huang Tianfeng and one of the members of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, the businessman named Zhang Houjia.
Seeing them standing in his yard, Wei Wu, who was originally a little dazed, immediately became clear-headed.
However, when he saw Qingxia's obviously tired face, Wei Wu guessed why the three of them came.
