Chapter 125 – Within the Sea
by Salted Fish — Xu Chun returned to the Customs Office and first entered the main hall, where both Deputy Prefects came over to report their work. Xu Chun simply had Jiang Mei collect everything. He invited all the officials to sit down and then idly flipped through the tax items and receipts while asking Xu Tingjie, "For this rough cargo, two parts out of fifteen are taxed, and for fine cargo, two parts out of ten. But with so many goods, what counts as rough and what as fine?" Xu Tingjie smiled and said, "Fine cargo…

Chapter 157 – Apology
by Salted Fish — At the Forbidden Palace's West Garden, the Hundred Crafts Hall. On the roads, artisans and eunuchs bustled about, and there were also many servants from wealthy families and merchants coming over to purchase and order goods intended for the outside market. Fan Mukun's face still bore some bruising as he followed behind Su Huaibai, somewhat puzzled as to why His Majesty had asked Eunuch Su to bring him here. Su Huaibai led him around a workshop and into a backyard, where jars and vases were…

Chapter 189 – Touring the Academy
by Salted Fish — When constructing the Naval Academy, consideration was given to the constant need for ship observation, so it occupied the largest area of the entire school and was purposefully built near the sea with a shipyard. In the center of the academy stood a three-story building, its rooftop adorned with a sea-viewing platform. Half of the platform was open-air, housing items such as celestial observation instruments. The other half featured a spacious meeting hall. Zhang Wenzheng led Prince Xie Yi and his…

Chapter 221 – Impeachment
by Salted Fish — Xu Chun walked over and bowed deeply. "Greetings, Li Yuanshi. I heard you went to inspect the river work. When did you return to the capital? I didn't have the chance to pay you a visit, my apologies." Li Meiyai snorted coldly. "Oh, wasn't it convenient to use old man to teach a lesson to that young Zhuang family scholar? Now you remember respect for elders?" Xu Chun chuckled awkwardly, aware of his own fault, yet knowing that Li Meiyai wouldn't take it seriously with him. After all... he had…

Chapter 16 – Sweet Litchi
by Salted Fish — "The Empress Dowager sent word through her eunuchs that she wanted to visit you, but she was turned away by Eunuch Su. She probably saw how calm Eunuch Su was and didn't say much. She has merely been reciting scriptures and practicing Buddhism with Jingfei every day. A soldier guarding the western gate of the palace went home and said he had drowned after getting drunk and falling into a river at night." Leaning against his bed, his eyes still covered with bandages, Xie Yi appeared pale and weary, but…

Chapter 72 – Sinking the Enemy
by Salted Fish — Outside the cabin, orders echoed amidst bright flames. After the crew rescued them and led them into the cabin, a ship doctor came to examine their injuries. Clearly experienced with maritime illnesses, the doctor immediately recognized the signs of a firearm wound when the young general removed his armor. His face betrayed no surprise as he said, "It's merely a graze from a musket ball, the flesh torn and bone shattered, but fortunately, no major tendons were damaged. However, you must rest and…

Chapter 104 – The Pair of Geese
by Salted Fish — Xu Chun and his entourage dashed into the woods, whereupon the guards scattered with skillful precision to drive away the beasts. They herded smaller animals such as rabbits, pheasants, and foxes toward Xu Chun. Xu Chun took out his blunderbuss and fired at a pheasant with practiced ease. Bang! The pheasant dropped dead on impact. The guards cheered as hunting dogs rushed over to retrieve the bird. Xu Chun reined in his horse and chuckled. "They say the imperial hunting grounds have unique game…

Chapter 136 – Bluffing
by Salted Fish — Xu Chun quickly received Xie Yi's reply: "I've heard that you're young and sharp, diligent and hardworking, and I can't help but feel delighted. Your innate talent is exceedingly high; right from the start, you've shown remarkable acumen, you're adorable to the utmost." "I have already informed the Ministry of Revenue about the self-purchased ships for Haijin Guard's maritime defense against smuggling. This action should be commended. For this penalty and anti-smuggling revenue, you may retain fifty…

Chapter 168 – Returning Victorious
by Salted Fish — The battle at Changhu Gorge actually lasted two days and nights. The sun rose and set, the tide ebbed and flowed, and under the cover of darkness and fog, the Wokou pirates, their leader having been captured, finally left the battlefield with their remaining ships. In the eyes of Iwa Hide Tsuki, this battle was a hellish torment, but even from Xu Chun's perspective, it wasn't easy. Over a hundred ships were destroyed, countless corpses and broken sails floated on the sea—battlefield cleanup…

Chapter 200 – Beachhead Assault
by Salted Fish — After several rounds of artillery fire from warships on the sea, the bay gradually calmed down. Everyone could only see that the red targets on the sea had already been completely destroyed, leaving only some scattered wooden boards. Xu Chun observed, "It seems that the naval target practice is too simple. Everyone got perfect scores. Next time, we should use moving targets and increase the distance." A scholar-official asked in surprise, "Can the range be even further?" He couldn't help but look at…
