"Write down that there are three hundred and fifty-seven three-masted ships and eight hundred and twenty-one two-masted ships in this place, and there is no sign of pulling anchor and going out to sea."

Hearing the number of his companions, the other sergeant hurriedly wrote down on a piece of paper, he used a black hard pen, and the words written were crooked, a very strange symbol.

It is located on a reef on the shore of Quanzhou Outer Harbor, where two ordinary people are hidden, one holding binoculars and muttering to himself, while the other is responsible for observing the movement around him and recording what the former sees.

"Okay, it's your place, hurry up, the shopkeeper is still waiting for our news, don't fall behind people, let those dogs make fun of you."

With that, he handed the telescope to his companion, who handed him a pen and paper, and the two of them swapped roles, still observing the situation in the harbor as they had just done.

In the same group, Zhang Qingyun arranged several groups in total, divided them from multiple positions, and then went to him to summarize them, there was no way to do this, the scope of the entire area was too large, and a pair of eyes could not count it at all.

And he himself has already followed the orders of the owner to go out of the city, but fortunately, outside the state city, like Lin'an and other places, it is divided into many large and small outhouses, and it is not a problem to find a place to hide without being detected.

Every day, he counted the ships in the bay like this, and after the results of a few days were combined, Zhang Qingyun already had an approximate number in his heart. Through the walkie-talkie, he made direct contact with Jiang Cai's department, which was currently in Zhangzhou, and the next step was Tong'an County, which was only a day away from Quanzhou, and he had to keep a firm eye on the movements in the harbor and provide intelligence support for Jiang Cai's department's actions.

At the same time, he also had to pay attention to the movements in Quanzhou City, the closer Jiang Bu was to here, the greater the danger of exposure, once Pu Shi and the others learned about it, they would inevitably react, and it depended on the eyes of these spies.

As the time for action got closer and closer, Zhang Qingyun's heart was already pounding under the calm surface, unlike the last time he was in Luzhou, that time he was just a marginal figure. And now he is the absolute protagonist, even Jiang Cai's final decision must be based on his judgment, the responsibility is too heavy, and the slightest mistake or omission will be fatal.

"Da Lang, the news has come from everywhere, do you want to take a look?"

"Take a look at it."

With this sense of responsibility, Zhang Qingyun took the slips of paper with the numbers written on them and compared them with the numbers before yesterday. It can be seen from this that as the trade winds approach, Pu's fleet is slowly returning to the sea, and the number of ships relying on the bay is increasing every day, which is good news.

"More than 5,000!"

His subordinates said excitedly when they saw the result, Zhang Qingyun nodded, and his heart was also excited, this is an incomparably huge number. Reflected in the real scene, it is the forest-like dense canopy in the distant bay, no wonder the owner attaches so much importance to this place, Pu's strength is actually so great, and that's not all.

It was a very fine bay, and its narrowest point was less than sixty leagues, and it was enough to block it with the Haisi Navy, and it was so full that there was only one waterway left to get in and out, and it was a natural pocket.

The only thing to worry about is the defenders in Quanzhou City, Xia Jing's Wuwei Left Army has 5,000 people, after expansion, I am afraid that it is close to 10,000 people, and Jiang Cai is only 4,000 people, so the timing of the attack must be mastered.

From Guangzhou to Qiongzhou, Yang Xing dived for more than two days, his luck was good, he did not encounter a big wind and waves, Rao is so, when he got off the boat, his face was already blue and white, and his legs were floating like falling into the clouds.

Because he is not a local, and he comes from Guangzhou, where people from Tibet gather, he does not have such a deep understanding of the great changes in Qiongzhou, and what shocks him in front of him is that the entire port area is like a big bazaar, shouting one after another, and recruiting workers everywhere.

Supported by the soldiers of his peers, Yang Xingqian endured the discomfort in his chest and slowly descended to the dock, should he go to an inn to rest first, or contact the person in charge of the city first? He was still hesitating, this would make it impossible for people to stand still, and things would definitely not be done.

"Dare to ask, but Mr. Yang and his party?"

"Exactly, take a certain official and look at him."

Suddenly asked, Yang Xingqian looked at the person, dressed as a small official, followed by a servant, and he didn't know how they got the news.

"Don't hide it from Mr., I received news a few days ago, saying that Mr. will arrive in the near future, so these days the little ones are taking people to wait at the dock, and I don't want to receive it. I also asked Mr. to get in the car and enter the city with the little one, and Senator Chen was in the yazhong. ”

"It's so hard."

After checking the identity documents, the little official bowed his hand and saluted, Yang Xing sneaked out of Beijing early, without waiting for Jin Ming's edict to come down. Therefore, what he brought with him was a document issued by Liu Yu from the cardinal, for this kind of remote place, the cardinal house is a place that is no longer high, and people who come have already regarded it as an angel.

Sitting on the ox cart prepared in the morning, Yang Xing led the young official along a smooth gray road towards the county seat, this road was different from everything he had seen, and the pro-army in the company also had similar feelings, and some people still kicked a few feet hard in disbelief, as if they wanted to see if it was made of tofu.

And not far from the county seat, a place that should have been the location of the loess official road, the same gray road has been extending forward, and there is no end in sight in the distance, Yang Xingqian and others are very surprised, can this kind of road be built so long?

"Mr. Yang doesn't know, this road leads to Lingao County, passing through Chengmai County in the middle, this section of the county has already been completed, and the other two are still stepping up construction, and in a few days it will be the same as in front of you, which is mixed with plaster, and the end is extremely hard."

What is "plaster", the little official did not explain, Yang Xingqian roughly guessed, this must be a new thing brought by the owner, the soldiers all listened to it, they were all honored, since it was the handwriting of the owner, then what is so strange, even thousands of miles of sound transmission can be done, and the hard road is naturally twisted.

"Brother Xingqian, I can count on you as expected."

"Mr. Xilu, I have admired my name for a long time, and I can see it today, how fortunate it is."

The news that Chen Yunping is here, Liu Yu told him early in the morning, so as soon as the little official said that there was a senator surnamed Chen in the city, he knew who the person in front of him was, and the two were polite to each other, so they should know each other.

After resting on the ox cart for a while, Yang Xing recovered some of his body, and Chen Yunping looked at his face and naturally understood what was going on. When he first started on the sea, he was even worse than it, and he was called a Sven sweeper when he vomited and drained the ground, and then he sat a lot before he slowly got used to it.

Yang Xingqian's surname Yang comes from his biological mother, and Xingqian is a word instead of a name, and now he has changed his mother's surname, not only does he not use his previous surname, but even his name is deeply disgusted, so he simply uses this word as a name. Chen Yunping didn't know what was inside, so he could only call it that, but fortunately, the other party didn't care about this.

"A small character Junheng, I don't dare to call him a gentleman, but it doesn't hurt to call him directly."

"Then so-and-so is presumptuous, Brother Junheng has been here for a long time, can you introduce it to Yang."

Chen Yunping laughed dumbly when he heard this, this is also an idle person, he has just gotten off the boat, and he has not yet adapted to the land, so he is thinking about doing things. But that's okay, if the person who comes is a person who talks about the wind and the moon, he has some poems to sing and sing, but Qiongzhou doesn't need these now, and when all the projects are completed, such a scene is worth his poetry.

"I don't know how the service system is said, but in a certain opinion, the current Qiongzhou is not comparable to any place in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is 'changing with each passing day' in one word. You saw the road before you entered the city, the same road is being built to Lingao, and that side can be said to start from a white field. ”

"This is the pattern left over from the system, the houses and roads above have probably been started, and some have been built, if the Xingqian brother is safe, go and see for yourself, it is a hundred times better than what a certain mouth said."

Chen Yunping took out a roll of paper and spread it out on the large table in it, and the schematic diagram of the buildings in the Lingao area described on it was of course just a simple sketch. But in Yang Xingqian's eyes, this is to build a city, almost a brand new town.

"Presumably, when you entered the city, So-and-so's men had already informed you about the plaster, and the waiter called it 'cement', and the locals called it plaster, and So-and-so thought the latter was more appropriate. Don't look at it as inconspicuous as dirt, it is not small, it can be used for roads, it can also be used for building houses, it is as hard as steel after mixing with gravel and sand, all the buildings here are inseparable from it, it can be described as a magical thing. ”

"In order to expand the scope, the county seat of Lingao has been demolished, and the new city wall in the future will be built with huge bricks, and then this Qiongzhou city will be compared to him. Dude, before the arrival of the new head of the Imperial Court, it will be handed over to you. ”

Due to the increasing influence, many of the people who come to work in Qiongzhou are people from Leizhou and some farther away, and they are naturally attracted by relatively high remuneration and lenient treatment. Therefore, after one person arrives, he sends a letter to the whole village, and slowly spreads the news in this way.

Yang Xingqian nodded while listening, he is not a temporary replacement, the future city division will definitely be in his hands, this is Liu Yu's original words and requirements, as for the chief official of the court, it is just a skin, after all, the merchant now recognizes this court.

"There are too many things, a certain person is really too busy, he can't sleep enough almost every day, there is a hidden brother, a certain person can finally sleep peacefully, haha."

Chen Yunping laughed heartily, he was joking and telling the truth, he needed someone to sit at both ends, he had to run back and forth on both sides, these days, he was so tired and miserable, if he didn't see those exciting scenes, he couldn't hold on at all.

"Brother Junheng, relax your heart, I will go to Lingao today, and my brother will just lie down." Yang Xingqian smiled slightly, arched his hand and said.

This trip he brought with him more than twenty people, all of whom would become the main deacons of the future city division. Liu Yu's subordinates are different from others, what he requires is that in addition to military skills, the first thing is to recognize words, whether it is Yang Xingqian or Zhang Qingyun, or even Sun Qi, who has just been received, all start from Mr. Teaching, the purpose of doing this, in addition to letting the sergeants recognize words, can also be integrated into it more quickly, the so-called Shizi who is high and self-appreciative, he does not want.

Liu Yu believes that most of the time the ability is exercised, even if there is no talent at all, if there is more to do, it will be done, and to be able to change from a big-headed soldier to a literate person, it is great news for every sergeant, which means that their descendants can have a higher www.biquge.info of pen fun, so there is no need to supervise at all, no one is not consciously and voluntarily to learn, that situation is comparable to the college entrance examination review in later generations.
