One hundred and thirty-two: foresight
Bai Shinian returned to the General's Mansion on this day and knew that Qi Liniang had adopted a child. A boy. also took it upon himself to name him Ming Zhen.
Bai Shinian's eyes were gloomy. Adopted a child β without his consent, and now the border is talking about him β raising a son, doesn't it prove that he is not a β stupid woman, what is he going to do.
Qi Liniang is actually too lonely. So, I want to have a child by my side. To say, it is also a mistake to pay for it. A poor woman.
Bai Shinian's attitude was very clear and sent the child away. He doesn't have a son himself, so what's the matter with such a son by his side now.
Qi Liniang also had her own thoughts: "Liulang, I just think he's pitiful, just let him stay!" We've got a lot of this stuttering. If Rokuro doesn't agree, I'll raise it myself. "Qi Liniang also has a dowry. Those who can support themselves plus a child. It's just Bai Shinian's indifferent attitude. made Qi Liniang hurt her heart again.
Bai Shinian looked at Qi Liniang's miserable and pitiful Nirvana, and suddenly felt that both of them were fallen people at the end of the world. cough, Qi Liniang likes the wrong person, and he is the same. That ruthless woman.
Looking at the slap-sized child again, throwing it out, I don't know if I can live. Ahem, forget it, the General's Mansion is not short of this mouthful. And now the eldest brother has written again. said that if he didn't give birth to another son, he would give him a step-by-step. He didn't want someone else's son. Let this child take the lead first! cough, now that there are frequent wars, I can't leave Β°C and have to go back to the capital!
After Wen Wan was busy with the matter at hand, she was about to take a breath when something went wrong with her firm. A large cargo ship of Wen Wan was held hostage by pirates.
At the beginning of the year, the sea ban was opened. The pirates gathered there at once. It started out as a small fight. Later, I don't know why, I aimed at the goods of Guangyuan Commercial Bank. Everyone thought that as long as they did one vote, it would be better than a few months.
Cargo worth more than two million, the pirates raised. A ransom of 500,000 taels is required. According to Jiang Lin's meaning, it is almost the same to cut the price to about 200,000. But when I discussed it with the money shopkeeper sent by Wen Wan, the shopkeeper shook his head. I think that this matter should be left to the master's decision. If it is an ordinary merchant, it may pay for ransom. But their county lord is not an ordinary person.
Jiang Lin thought about it, and had already written an urgent letter to send it. I wrote an urgent letter of 800 miles and sent it to the capital.
Day 3. Wen Wan got Jiang Lin's letter.
Wen Wan took out the map. See where the hijacked cargo was taken (the gentle map of the sea is now complete). Wen Wan found the location of the hijacking, Wen Wan was furious, she actually hijacked β her goods in the Inland Sea and slapped her in the face β nakedly, not to mention for the time being, this hijacked her goods in the Inland Sea, and she wanted to send silver money over. Where to put her face in the future.
Wen Wan delineated the sea area belonging to Daqi (commonly known as the Inland Sea) too widely. In modern times, it is 12 nautical miles from the baselines of the territorial sea; The sea area is about 4.73 million square kilometers. Wen Wan has extended a lot, and Wen Wan doesn't know how many thousands of square kilometers it is. Later generations estimated that Wen Wan carved out more than 8 million square kilometers of sea area. Because of this act of gentleness. Later generations would have to quarrel every year over the seas (because others thought it was a clear encroachment on their seas). But later governments, with official historical records (Wen Wan later got several countries to sign contracts. That's also legal), swearing that this is evidence. It's a mess. It added a lot of trouble to the government of later generations.
Gentle means. Let's go to our own territory first, and we'll talk about the rest later. Now that the sea ban has been opened, these people are targeting her cargo ship. Or, let her tell these people that they will commit crimes in the Great Qi Inland Sea and look for death.
Wen Wan went directly to the palace and found the emperor. Let's talk about it. The emperor looked at Wen Wan and opened his mouth to fight, and there was no negotiation. That face is domineering. I couldn't help but laugh. Looking at Wen Wan, I remembered what I did in the fiefdom at Wen Wan's age.
The emperor naturally advocated fighting, and dared to hijack his goods in the land of Daqi (the sea area that the emperor agreed to divide gently), let alone pay any ransom, and letting it go was an insult to him, the emperor.
Wen Wan saw that the emperor didn't want to start fighting, and she was very satisfied. Where is there any nonsense to talk about the enemy who invades his own territory. hit it directly, and it knew it hurt, and it scared others. I didn't dare to look for death anymore.
Wen Wan doesn't understand military affairs, how to fight and the like is the emperor's business. However, the emperor wanted to use troops against the bandits, and the merchants welcomed it.
Wen Wan's mind turned, and let him set up a fundraiser. Merchants who are required to do business must collect donations. You are the direct beneficiaries, and you don't want to go to anyone for military spending.
Of course, the gentle Guangyuan Commercial Bank took the lead in raising 100,000 yuan. For such fundraising, businessmen at the seaside are not averse. After all, once there is a problem with the goods, the losses are even more serious. The imperial court is willing to send troops, and they should contribute some money.
Wen Wan's foreign trade accounted for seventy and a half of the share. She couldn't swallow it all either. Even if she could swallow it all, she wouldn't swallow it. Wen Wan kept in mind his uncle's teachings and left a line in business (uncle's original words are to leave a line in life and work. It's a pity that in ancient times, there was no chance for you to be a person and do things). Wen Wan pursued it, eating meat for herself and giving soup to others.
Wen Wan's move raised nearly 500,000 taels of silverβ and the military expenses had already been collected.
The emperor shook his head β with a smile, in order to collect money, he really did everything. He could only sigh. However, in this way, it is naturally a great thing to save a sum of money for the imperial court.
The emperor intended to let Wen Yue be the general of this expedition against pirates, because this matter was the head of Wen Wan's leadership and the first to start, so the emperor told Wen Wan about this matter.
Wen Wan listened and immediately objected: "Wen Yue and Bai Shinian have never dealt with each other, and the main force to exterminate pirates this time is the Huwei Army. The Huwei Army was brought out by Bai Shinian again. After Wen Yue goes, he will definitely reject dissidents and install his own people. Being stirred up by him like this, the Tiger Wei Army will definitely be greatly affected β, and there may be no problem (it will take time to replace people and install forces). Uncle Emperor, my eyes are not on this time, but on the future. I plan to transform the Tiger Army into a navy, and for me, the Tiger Army is the predecessor of the navy. I don't want him to be blown apart by Wen Yue and the Tiger Army. My hard work was in vain. β
There was something strange about the emperor. When he knew that the funds at the beginning of the establishment of Huwei Army were the huge amount of money that Wen Wan won from the gambling house, he couldn't laugh or cry. It was also for this reason that the emperor followed the meek meaning. No one was transferred from the capital, and the generals of the Huwei Army were directly assigned to command the battle.
In order to let Wen Yue take the position, the Wen family spent manpower and material resources to make a good deal for him, and Wen Guifei blew the pillow wind. The emperor also moved his mind, because Wen Yue was indeed a talent. Everything fell into place. was politely said a few words, and lost a chance to be promoted. You must know that the third grade is promoted to the second grade, which sounds like only one level. But it's a huge chasm. Not only that, but also let the Wen family fail to get a piece of the cake on the coast.
In the future, Haikou will become a land of heavy taxes and a prosperous port. The army in Haikou is naturally also a place of oil, water and fertilizer. As long as anyone with eyes can see. The Wen family understands, the nobles in the capital understand, and Wen Wan also understands.
The Wen family soon knew that it was Wen Wan who made a mess in the middle. The reason is simple, the emperor has already relented. As a result, as soon as the emperor talked to Wen Wan, he changed his mind. It was also at this time that Wen Yue knew how powerful the county lord of Wen Wan was. The influence on the emperor, how deep.
When Wen Wan left the palace and returned home. Xia Yao came up with a sentence: "County Lord, I really think about the Huwei Army!" It's hard to be the county lord. β
Wen Wan looked at Xia Yu β angrily, a dead woman, and she couldn't help but mention it. As soon as there is a gap, it will be white and white. It's as if she can't marry without Bai Shinian (you are the truth): "Xia Yao, the start-up capital for the establishment of the Huwei Army should be the one million I gave, right?" β
Xia Yao was silent.
Wen Wan also refuted: "The establishment of the Tiger Power Army has the prestige it has today. I also have half of the credit. Although others don't know it, there is also a part of my hard work in it. It was just like that, Wen Yue made it to pieces, and I didn't agree. β
Xia Ying was surprisedβ‘ since he took out the million, the county lord hadn't asked. How did the county lord know?
Wen Wan is indeed selfish. But this selfishness is not because of Bai Shinian, but because of her five islands. It is impossible to build these five islands as solid as a rock and not afraid of naval attacks.
If there is really a day when the army of Daqi comes to fight her, it will only be a praying mantis blocking the car, and the best way is to meddle in the military and politics β control the military power. But with her status and power, it is impossible to intervene in the military power in the interior. The emperor will also have scruples. Then all that remains is the military power that does not yet exist, the military power of the navy. Wen Wan's plan is to build the navy in the future. Take the navy into your own hands. That's what really reassures her. Wen Wan knew very well that if she wanted to establish a navy, she must wait until the internal affairs were rectified and the border passes were completely stabilized. Wen Wan is not in a hurry, of course, she is not in a hurry for this kind of military affairs.
Regardless of Bai Shinian's relationship, Wen Wan has this plan, so she can't let others get involved. She and Wen Yue are not people on the same road. So, Wen Yue can't be allowed to ruin her plans. Wen Wan had originally planned to take her time. But now, you have to plan ahead. Wen Wan was not afraid of offending the Wen family. released the news and let the people of the Huwei Army know that when the Huwei Army was founded, the reason why they received special care from the imperial court was all because of her. also let the soldiers of the Huwei Army know that she spoke for them this time. Now the generals of the Huwei Army are basically the first batch of people to be selected. Therefore, when these people heard the news, their hearts naturally turned to gentleness.
Wen Wan not only raised 100,000 donations, but also provided the remaining few ships, and the others also made a strong contribution. At this point, Wen Wan only waited for news. Wait for when the loss will be returned.
The emperor was very strange about Wen Wan's sudden release of news. Feel free to ask. Wen Wan has enough reason: "If you fight the pirates this time, you will succeed." A lot of loot will definitely be captured. I don't care if they hand it over to the court or not. But my loss, they have to get me back. β
Well, the emperor has nothing to say. The money Wen Wan wants back is also in his pocket. (To be continued.) , () Vote for recommendation, monthly pass,,γ
