Chapter 742: The Sound of Drums and Horns (14)

"Why!" Kou Shuguang jumped up suddenly, but forgot that he was sitting in the cabin now, when there was a bang, his head hit the top of the cabin hard, and fell to the ground, grinning in pain, touching his head with one hand, knocking on the table in front of him with the other, and the cups and plates rattled, "He still wants our governor's son to be his grandson-in-law?" Want to be beautiful? ”

Kou Shuguang is also an old man of the Eastern Army, but he is very clear about the grievances between Gao Yuan and Zhou Yuan back then, looking at Cao Tianci, who is calm and idle, he said angrily: "You should split his face and give him a big ear scraper, let him be delusional, hum, the governor is magnanimous, regardless of previous suspicions, but my heart is not so broad-minded, how did one foot of the infantry disappear?" It's not in Jicheng. ”

"Okay, you're so angry, you've been in Fenzhou to preside over the affairs here for almost two years, if you have this mentality, I'll transfer you back, Fenzhou must be the territory of the Zhou family." Cao Tianci looked at him and said, "I really can't think of how you have cooperated with the Zhou family here in the past few years?" ”

Kou Shuguang sneered, "Zhou Yuan is just a water dog, in line with the principle of waste dogs, in the past few years when he has been miserable, it is not right for him to do something for our expedition to the Eastern Mansion, what about me, I can't see him, I am talking to his son, out of sight is clean, naturally I can get by, and now he is still kicking his nose in the face, be careful that I will clean him up one day!" ”

"Shut up!" Cao Tianci raised his face, "These things are not something we can mix, Zhou Yuan is of great use, if you dare to come nonsense, I will clean you up first." really turned against the Zhou family, what should our boatman do? Where can we find skilled shipwrights to build ships for us? How many years have you been here, training a few of our own boatmen? ”

Kou Shuguang said with a bitter face: "The boatmen here are all ghostly, and they all look at them all with a heart, but they can get our high salary." The key technology is not to be passed on at all, dean, anyway, our dock in Liaoxi, the shipyard has been almost built, simply, let's tie these unknown guys to Liaoxi with a rope, are you afraid that they are not honest? ”

"You think easy!" Cao Tianci rolled his eyes, "Those shipwrights have so many thoughts, here, needless to say, the Zhou family is making trouble." Tie people up with ropes, can we go out of Fenzhou? You were defenseless when the Zhou family? Don't forget, this is Fenzhou, where the heart of Yan Kingdom is, not to mention the people of the Zhou family, even the people of Yan Lingwei here are not something we can afford to provoke. Honestly cooperating with the Zhou family is the only way out, unless you kid can learn the full set of shipbuilding technology. ”

"The small boat was ok, but the large sea boat. It's still true. It took more than two years to build two big boats, and my hair was almost gray. ”

"So we must strengthen cooperation with the Zhou family in western Liaoning. Our first sailors have been trained, these two ships are about to come in handy, and now we need more. Cao Tianci said, "About Zhou Yuan's mentions." I'll send it back to Jishi City, and it's up to the governor to do it. If the Governor himself doesn't care, what are we anxious about? ”

"But when you think about it, it's uncomfortable after all!" Kou Shuguang hated the authentic.

Zhou family, Zhou Yuan stared at his two sons, Zhou Ting and Zhou Jin, but sighed silently in his heart, the two sons are in their early thirties, and they are about to be forty, but they can't become atmospheric after all, otherwise they don't need to focus on cultivating Zhou Yu, the son of the side branches, and they can't think of half a lifetime of hard work, but in the end they have cultivated a white-eyed wolf.

Cao Tianci is right, although he has just passed sixty, he is already exhausted, almost a few years old, there are not a few years to live, it is time to think about his children and grandchildren, the sons are not successful, but the grandchildren of the next generation, there are one or two excellent, but the important thing is to survive these decades.

Yan Guo can't count on it, as long as Zhou Yu reigns for one day, it is impossible for him to let his branch stand out, if there is really something that can't even be suppressed, I'm afraid that there will be a real danger of life at that time, or, there is only a new stove, then, Gao Yuan can gamble, win the bet, win a chance for his own branch, even if he loses, there is nothing left, and there is nothing to lose.

"Father!" Zhou Ting and Zhou Jin stood in front of their father with their hands down, because the two of them were really not talented, and they were severely reprimanded by their fathers since they were children.

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, if it was before, Zhou Yuan would have scolded him a long time ago, but now, he has lost this heart.

"The two of you, you have been cooperating with the people of the Eastern Army for a short time, how do you feel?" He looked at Zhou Ting and asked.

"It's okay!" Zhou Ting said in a low voice.

"What do you mean it's okay?" Zhou Yuan suddenly felt angry again, and as soon as his arm was raised, he slapped it over, his hand just raised, and when he saw his son's frightened face, he put it down again, "You two, if there is a finished weapon, why should my Zhou family fall to this point?" ”

"The son's incompetence worries the father!" Zhou Ting was ashamed. In the past, when his father was in power, he was the son of the high-ranking prince, no matter what he did, he was naturally smooth, and countless people held it and greeted him, but when his father fell from a height, he finally realized what it means to be in the hot and cold world, and then he knew the importance of his father to this family.

"Second child, I'm going to talk about your little daughter." Zhou Yuan turned his head to look at the second Zhou Jin, compared to the eldest Zhou Ting, the second is more unbearable, the eldest is just a little cowardly, but the second is not a good man, and he is still a typical gentleman.

"Father, your granddaughter is only half a year old, isn't it too early to say goodbye?" Zhou Jin whispered.

"Do you know who I told her?" Zhou Yuan looked at him coldly.

Zhou Jin shook his head, "Father's fancy is naturally excellent. "But there is some disapproval in my heart, with the current situation of the Zhou family, there is a family that is willing to marry his own family, and he is afraid of it.

"It's the son of Gao Yuan of Zhengdong Mansion." Zhou Yuandao.

"What?" Zhou Ting and Zhou Jin almost thought that they had heard it wrong, and asked in unison. "Father, who do you say?"

"Gao Yuan, the general of the Eastern Army, his son is just over half a year old, and I just proposed to their envoy." Zhou Yuan said slowly: "We have no way out in Dayan. Now that I'm alive, you can still survive, and if I don't go one day, your hard days will come to an end. Maybe when the time comes, I won't even be able to save my life. ”

Seeing the somewhat panicked appearance of his two sons, Zhou Yuan was extremely disappointed in his heart, "So, I have to find a way back for you and my grandson, which is why we have quietly cooperated with Zhengdong Mansion in the past two years." While I'm alive, while I'm still useful to them. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, I did this just to resolve the grievances between me and Gao Yuan back then, and I didn't think much about anything else, but now, there is an opportunity for me to infinitely close the relationship with the Eastern Army, and I can also let me die." You have a solid backer. ”

"Father, will Gao Yuan agree to this?" Zhou Jin had already reacted at this time, and couldn't help but be surprised and delighted, if he really became a son and daughter with Gao Yuan. In the second half of his life, he can be regarded as settled.

"Whether we succeed or not, it depends on what we pay." Zhou Yuan said coldly: "Boss, after going down." Tell those shipwrights under our control that the core technology of building sea ships does not need to be hidden, and all of them are taught to those people. Second, the shipyard is in full swing, and this year, I want to see two more sea vessels. ”

"Yes, father. Is that all? ”

"Of course, it's not just these, after you go down, tell him that Kou Shuguang, who has been in contact with you, that these craftsmen of ours can actually move to other places, but they must be properly arranged, and they must not leak the rumors, as soon as he hears it, he will naturally understand."

"My son understands."

"This is the first hand I stretch out to Takato, and if he agrees to this family business, I will extend my second hand to him." Zhou Yuan said: "When the time comes, maybe our whole family will go to a new place to live and work in peace and contentment, and I will also do one last thing for you before I die, so that you are qualified to stand in a new place, which is also the ultimate I can do."

"Father's ......"

"Don't ask, do these things according to my instructions first!" Zhou Yuan waved his hand, "Remember for me, these things must not be leaked at all. Otherwise, our whole family will die without a place to be buried."

Watching his two sons walk out, Zhou Yuan turned around, looked at the huge map of Yan Kingdom that had been hanging behind him, and after looking at it for a long time, he suddenly laughed, walked to the wall, stretched out his hand, grabbed the map, crumpled it in his hand, and threw it to the ground.

Dayan, I've finally betrayed you completely. He thought sadly in his heart that he had turned his back on the homeland for which he had fought all his life, in exchange for only an opportunity that might not be able to win.

Not necessarily the chance to win is also an opportunity, otherwise, the Zhou family can only be in this place, step by step towards decay and perdition. Gao Yuan, this young man who has surprised him countless times, hopes that this time he will not let himself down and will be able to win from this gamble.

hopes that Gao Yuan will win in the end, and his wish at this time makes Zhou Yuan really feel that the vicissitudes of life and the world are unpredictable.

(Yesterday, I occasionally saw a book friend talking about Lu Chao's problem, and I thought I needed to explain it here.) The first question, is Lu Chao a capable person? This has actually been said a long time ago, Lu Chao has already proven himself in Shannan County, the general of Shannan County at that time, in fact, was only in charge of the military, and the rest was handed over to Lu Chao, he was not a new tender, but a long time on the side of the chief officer. The second question is why Lu Chao was able to train 60,000 Korean troops in just a few years. This problem is a little more complicated, first of all, no matter how small South Korea is, it is also a country, whether it is a person or a national strength, it is far from being comparable to Ye Zhen and Ye Chong, so he can recruit it, but Ye Zhen and Ye Chong can't recruit it. Secondly, the recruitment system of the Eastern Army is different from that of the Qin Army, the Eastern Army is a recruitment system, and Lu Chao can actually use Lazhuang Ding. Third, financial resources, Korea used to be a country. Fourth, why do Koreans want to work hard for Lu Chao, it is mentioned in the article that Lu Chao is married, and the object of his marriage is the Gongsun family, the first nobleman in Korea except for the royal family. In addition, the military merit system of the Qin people also gave ordinary Koreans a way out, which is why they were willing to die for it. Well, now I think, this book friend should understand my thoughts, right? That's how I think about it, and that's how it's designed, in fact, for many reasons, inadvertently, the message inside has been revealed, and if you really want to explain it clearly, it can't help but seem that the content is too procrastinating. (To be continued......)
