The second more

"Your Excellency!" Lu Xudong frowned, among these four people, he really understands officialdom, so he has been trying to communicate with Zeng Fan. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Say, I have asked you to come, so that you may speak with confidence. I want to hear from you how I can make that sea mine. Zeng Fan waved to them, took out a chart, spread it flat on the desk, and let them look at it.

"I've been collecting information here all these years, and you see, the sea channel here is actually no wider than your lake. As for the weather, the sea is more complicated than the rivers and lakes. But are you scared? Regularity, yes, I believe in regularity. You know the rules better than me, and the rivers and lakes are also regular, how did you get here? I will only support you unconditionally, I only want results. ”

"My lord, in fact, you want us to rob foreigners, right?" Lu Xudong took a deep breath and looked at Zeng Fan calmly.

"It should be said that as long as you don't rob our own people, you have no rules. You have to save yourselves to the maximum extent possible and cause trouble for others. The more messy the better! It's so chaotic that others can't stand it, so they negotiate with us. Give us big ships, big guns, big cannons. Zeng Fan smiled, there were some things he couldn't say, but he had to express his meaning.

The four of them now understand that Zeng Fan doesn't care who he is for, but at this time, he can't use the water master. Even if they did have a water master, they wouldn't be able to do that. What's more, the imperial court did not have a water division, and there was not even money to build a water division.

"The imperial court isn't here to divert the tiger from the mountain, is it?" Zhu Cun scratched his head.

"I said, you can keep your own territory, okay, I can give in one more step, you can not go yourself, but send me your elite soldiers and strong generals, help me for a few years, they can live, then, they may be the first batch of officers and soldiers of the sailors. In the past few years, in fact, I also want to explore a suitable path for our own sailors. There were sailors in the Tang Dynasty, so why can't we build a sailor who can cripple Japan and Goryeo like the Tang Dynasty. We are too weak now, we don't have big ships, we don't have big guns, we don't have artillery. So can we use small boats, can we use the simplest methods to achieve our goals? Of course, I know that this is too cruel for you. I move my mouth in the back, and you are the ones who really bleed. But I still want you to do it, and I ask you to help me. I want to have my own sailors, I want to have my own tactics, I want to have my own sea power. ”

"Actually, you can persuade the pirates in the waters of Fujian." Lu Xudong had a calm face.

"I don't know pirates, I only know you." Zeng Fan spread his hands.

The faces of the four of them darkened together, and their faces darkened again, but they were silent again.

"My lord, we'll have to think again." Lu Xudong took a deep breath again.

"The rooms are ready, you can stay here, but if you want to stay in your own house in Beijing, it doesn't matter. I promise, you are safe in Beijing. Zeng Fan smiled.

"Can we take the charts with us?" Lu Xudong pointed to the chart.

Zeng Fan smiled, took out a few booklets by the way, and put them on the table, "This is the pattern of the weather that I have collected over the years, as well as the distribution of several forces on the sea there." However, it is all said by coastal fishermen, and it is not very professional. You just need to take a look, and if it's more professional, you have to send someone to investigate. ”

"Thank you!" Lu Xudong carefully accepted it, took a wrapper and wrapped the book on his back, and put the chart in his hand.

Looking at his gestures, Zeng Fan breathed a sigh of relief, being able to take this matter so seriously showed that he was interested. With a long exhale, he really felt a little sorry, they didn't oblige him to help him, "I'm sorry! ”

"No, now I'm kind of impressed by you, at least, I think maybe I can live a fun life for a few years." Lu Xudong smiled and arched his hand at Zeng Fan.

"Come to think of it, you still have a year to prepare." Zeng Fan replied with a half-salute.

Lu Xudong smiled and left with the other three. They did not live in Zeng's house. There are some things that they may not be able to keep secret, even if they know that they are in another house, but they still talk about it in another place.

Everyone went to Lu Xudong's house at the gate of Zeng's house. At this time, they also saw that Lu Xudong had been persuaded, and what the three of them had to do was to persuade him not to be really fooled by Zeng Fan, which was really unreliable.

And Zeng Fan in Zeng's mansion was casual, and when he returned to the backyard, Li Ping embroidered in their common study. And on the desk, there are some words she just finished.

"I'm still embroidering, and I don't know how to get a mirror." Zeng Fan moved the reflective frame, letting the light shine at her embroidery.

"I'm waiting for you, I'll embroider two stitches when I'm idle." Li Ping hurriedly embroidered a few stitches, made the small place on his hand, collected the needles, and let the things return to their places, "How are you, did you make sense?" ”

"What do you think?"

"It's difficult, let the wild horse set, you have to put in some effort."

"Horses can get hurt."

"It's okay, I only have you now, I have time to take care of you." Li Ping smiled.

"Aren't you supposed to worry about me?" Zeng Fan smiled, he really relaxed at this time, he knew that sometimes she was more worried than himself, but sometimes she seemed to be particularly unconcerned. The more difficult things are, the more casual she will become. When it's a trivial matter, she jumps up and loses her temper.

"I said, anyway, I only have you now, and we can do whatever we want now. It seems like I haven't really wanted to do anything in my life. There was a time when I really wanted to have a baby. Really, I really want to have a child, take good care of him as he grows up, and watch him get married and have children. But after really giving birth, I didn't dare to face him. Now he is grown up and married. Flew away, and then, I don't know what I did for him. Obviously he is the thing I crave the most in my life. Well, that's a child, not a thing. So you're better than me, you have something you want to do, and it must be interesting to see you doing it so persistently, and I want to do it with you. Even if we die, let's just do it together. ”

Zeng Fan smiled and gently took her hand. He let out a long sigh of relief, "Now I can really do these things because the children are gone." ”

"So the kids are actually our baggage?" Li Ping looked at her husband seriously.

"Haha, maybe now the kids will feel that they can finally be free. We are each other's burdens, let's work hard together and do what we want to do. Zeng Fan spread his hands.

Li Ping laughed, yes, they are actually a big ban in the hearts of children. Now the children are gone, they are forced to go. So they let go of each other, and maybe it was really difficult to part. But they also breathed a sigh of relief to each other and gave up easily.
