Chapter Twenty-Six: The Heroes of the Sea
Wei Shen knelt on the ground and didn't dare to come out, and even trembled a little uncontrollably. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info he really couldn't imagine that the young man in front of him who had been chatting with himself for a long time was the current prince, the real ruler of the Han Kingdom today.
He couldn't imagine what kind of misfortune he had just suffered with his rudeness and all kinds of gaffes. He even only remembered the rumors about the prince and what he heard when he was in Xingwangfu before. But just now, I put his hand on his shoulder and back, and talked with him all the way.
What made Wei Shen even more depressed was that the two surprisingly beautiful men turned out to be the ladies in the prince's legend, because there was no big marriage, and the prince's women could not have concubines. Wei Shen also wondered why people like Shu and Dali didn't fight for fame.
And these two are obviously two more famous ones, one is Wang Yu, who is the most talented scholar in the Han literary world, and the other is Xiao Yue, who is famous in the wilderness after the Jiangnan Gaomen clan. As for Xiao Yue's identity, the imperial court will naturally not announce to the public that she is a wonderful concubine on the rivers and lakes.
Wei Shen is an authentic literati, the literati have their own literati and ink writers, Wang Yu is definitely his idol, although there is no idol at this time, but Wei Shen is definitely a loyal fan who supports Wang Yu, and even participated in the action of supporting Wang Yu's resignation from Wang Fu that day. For himself to be able to see his idol at this moment, Wei Shen felt that if he was given death by the prince, he would have fewer regrets now!
Of course, Wei Shen has even participated in Wang Yu's literary club activities held in Baiyun Mountain many times, but with Wei Shen's influence in the literary world that day, and Wang Yu's height and identity vision that day, Wei Shen obviously has not had the opportunity to get in close contact with Wang Yu, but has only watched Wang Yu's demeanor from a distance with some friends. Of course, he doesn't appreciate Wang Yu's beauty, in their eyes, Wang Yu is naturally not a natural beauty, Wang Yu has the literary talent of the best man.
But at this time, Wang Yu changed into men's clothes, Wei Shen couldn't stare at a man, and naturally didn't see that Wang Yu was a woman dressed as a man, but just now when he heard Liu Jixing say it himself, the more Wei Shen looked at it, the more nervous he became, and at this moment he was nervous, scared and a little excited.
Liu Jixing's face was calm and gently held Wei Shen's arms, for Wei Shen's physical strength and weight at this moment, Liu Jixing could gently hold him up, and Wei Shen's fear could naturally be seen at this moment. Liu Jixing admired Wei Shen's pragmatic answers, and his ability to understand water conservancy and agriculture with his people-friendly strategy.
With Liu Jixing's rich experience in later generations, it can naturally be seen that Wei Shen is not an empty talker. Liu Jixing didn't want to frighten this capable and ambitious official because of Wei Wang's previous notoriety, because what he lacked most now was talent.
It's like you, an ordinary person, in the next life, suddenly see you, the chairman of the government, cordially facing the ordinary clerks in the society, and the chairman will frighten people to death if he inadvertently farts. Liu Jixing couldn't help but comfort him a few words, nothing more than saying that he really admired his talent, and this trip was completely out of an unintentional inspection, etc.
Wei Shen, who looked unbelieving and felt that the real situation was in front of him, looked at Liu Jixing's eyes full of sincerity with anxiety, and only felt that his back was cold and soaked. He didn't know what he was doing next, but he sat on the low stool that Wang Yu brought him in a daze, Liu Jixing liked this kind of stool, even if it was just a simple wooden board set by the farmer himself.
Seeing Liu Jixing sitting calmly on a wooden bench, Wei Shen ignored the fact that the status of a eunuch who was usually next to Liu Jixing was bigger than the biggest official in his own family. What's more, at this moment, Wang Yu, who is now in a high position and is the wife of the palace, moved a stool for himself to sit on.
He didn't look at the eyes of others next to him at all, and only smiled at the smiling Liu Jixing. In fact, his smile was worse than crying, and he couldn't help but stir his facial expression to make him look sincere. He saw that Liu Jixing had been looking at himself with a smile on his eyes, maybe with the encouragement of Liu Jixing's eyes and the support of his powerful hands, Wei Shen calmed down, and his boiling heart settled down a little after a long time.
The two of them sat opposite each other in the simple and simple hall of the private house, Wei Shen's buttocks were only slightly touched by a little stool, and everyone stood quietly aside. Wang Yu and Xiao Yue stood behind Liu Jixing, but the mighty man in cloth stood at the door and did not come in. Liu Jixing didn't tell Wei Shen who the other person was, and Wei Shen naturally didn't dare to ask, just nodded and smiled at everyone.
Liu Jixing watched Wei Shen gradually calm down, and he was quite satisfied with the rapid change in Wei Shen's mentality. Because of the kind of officials I have seen in the past year, there are too many nervous situations after seeing myself. So I was used to this situation for a long time, so I asked him some of his opinions on water conservancy.
Although Wei Shen is still a little apprehensive in his heart, after all, he is a child of a big family, although he has not yet made a big name on himself, but he has also received a good education from his professional family history since childhood, and what he expresses is his own expertise.
Liu Jixing saw that some of the ideas he said after clearing his thoughts were the same as some successful water conservancy hub management and application models in later generations. I was curious and surprised in my heart, and I couldn't help but implicitly try to say some of the experiences of the later generations, and sure enough, Wei Shen was more inspired, and naturally chatted with him for a while.
The two of them chatted together for almost an hour, and from time to time Liu Jixing interspersed with asking a few farmers some questions, Wei Shen benefited a lot of emotion, and it can be seen that Liu Jixing's proximity to the people is completely real. In the end, Liu Jixing was more concerned about Wei Shen's own affairs, knowing that he was the beneficiary of this Guozijian student, and couldn't help but ask him what his ambitions were in the future.
If you don't know at first, it's okay to say, but now that Liu Jixing has been assessed, if Wei Shen still doesn't understand, then there is no need to come out and mix in the future. Although I have not yet received the Holy Grace Temple Examination in the Golden Temple, this one is undoubtedly no different from the Temple Examination, and it is more intimate and practical.
But for such a big scene as the palace test, the elders in the family still have some instructions. Although Liu Jixing is not yet the emperor, now insiders have told each other that all the state affairs of the Han Kingdom in the past six months have been completely decided by this prince, and Emperor Liu Sheng has not interfered at all. What is the difference between Liu Jixing and the emperor, and what is the difference between this and the Jinshi Golden Palace nomination palace exam!
Wei Shen understood something at this moment, since Liu Jixing already knew his ability, he didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of Liu Jixing, the prince, and only said that he hoped that he could study and master his own government affairs in Dongguan this time, and make some achievements that could benefit the people and benefit the Han, and then return to Xingwangfu to participate in the final scientific examination, hoping to serve the country well and benefit the people after entering the office!
The two chatted slowly, Liu Jixing never mentioned other state affairs, and only chatted with Wei Shen about the customs of Lingnan, as well as the impact of water conservancy and various crops on Lingnan. Liu Jixing originally wanted to change the popularity of Jiaozhou Zhancheng rice in Lingnan, and had previously entrusted people to introduce seeds in Fujian and Jiaozhou respectively, and this time it was an experiment in the second season here, so these farmers were very familiar with Liu Jixing, and they didn't expect Liu Jixing to be the prince of the Han Kingdom.
The results of the experiment here are good, the yield is full half of the original methods and methods, and it can be planted in the coastal areas of Lingnan for four seasons, which makes Liu Jixing ecstatic and ready to vigorously support and promote it in the coastal areas. Suddenly met Wei Shen, an expert in water conservancy and agriculture, so he naturally wanted to try it to see his real talent.
Wei Shen was originally good at agricultural water conservancy, and mentioned the role and influence of water storage and irrigation under the guidance of Liu Jixing just now, especially if it can be cited in the Central Plains, then the merits of benefiting the people are not only in contemporary times, and Liu Jixing listened to it with relish at this moment. Liu Jixing naturally knew the huge impact of this water conservancy on agriculture, but he didn't expect that because he proposed it by himself, this era would obviously become his own merit!
The people on the side didn't care much about Wei Shen at first, but looking at the experience and methods he said, even the farmers on the side were accompanied by him from time to time to ask for advice, and Liu Jixing kept discussing and exchanging advice, everyone was a little surprised and surprised, and in the end they just listened quietly.
At this time, the big man in cloth who was standing at the door, that is, the palace guard in charge of the security of the palace, Du Yu Houshi, came in to report, saying that Dongguan County ordered Zhao Cijian to send someone to drive a boat to pick up Liu Jixing, and Liu Jixing, who was in high spirits to chat with Wei Shen, responded, happily took Wei Shen's hand and couldn't help but sigh and came out with him.
At this time, Wei Shen saw the envoy of the ship, who is now famous in the Xingwang Mansion, Wu Yanrou, who has already sealed the general of Dingyuan, and Zhao Cijian, the commander of Dongguan County, who looked at him with a surprised face. To the surprise of Wei Shen, who was nervous, Liu Jixing not only happily praised himself in front of Zhao Cijian for having ideas, but also being able to come down to the people to understand the actual situation of agriculture. Moreover, it was said that this matter was worth learning from the vast number of officials and reserve officials of the Han Dynasty, which made Wei Shen's heart, who had always been nervous, finally settle down a little.
He really didn't know that Zhao Cijian and Wu Yanrou were more surprised than he was at the moment, how could Liu Jixing take Wei Shen's hand and come out together, Wu Yanrou's thoughts were a little better, because he didn't know Wei Shen After listening to Liu Jixing's introduction, he had a little more affection for Wei Shen.
During this time, he can be said to have been picked up by Liu Jixing, and all kinds of ideas and methods implemented by himself are actually put forward by Liu Jixing. Wu Yanrou is too touched by Liu Jixing's ability, and she understands his needs for talents too well.
Zhao Cijian was overturned in his heart, and he couldn't guess Liu Jixing's intentions for a while, although he was also promoted by Liu Jixing, and even he had been tossed a lot by Liu Jixing before.
But during this period of time, under Liu Jixing's instructions, he has done all the big things for the benefit of the country and the people, but he doesn't dare to speculate on Liu Jixing's heart openly! Liu Jixing praised Wei Shen, explaining that Wei Shen's current way and method were right, so he had to bow his head slightly to Wei Shen, but he wanted to go back and get close to him again.
After coming out here, everyone saw dozens of guards standing outside the house, but all of them were in soft armor and casual clothes, obviously they all came to protect Liu Jixing with Zhao Cijian and Wu Yanrou! Wei Shen saw that although these people were not fully armed, they were all energetic and imposing, and he knew that they were some warriors who could really attack and defend well.
After Liu Jixing instructed, everyone said goodbye to the farmers, and the group accompanied Zhao Cijian and Wu Yanrou to accompany Liu Jixing along the seaside mountain path, and after a while, they walked through a mountain col next to the sea.
What made Wei Shen feel a lot of emotion was that he walked on the beach and stumbled, but Liu Jixing led Wang Yu as easily as walking on the ground, looking at that demeanor, how could he feel like a pampered prince of the deep palace. Thinking of the evaluation and understanding of Liu Jixing by the people and officialdom in the past, Wei Shen was very much slandering those people and misleading people, and he was more unswerving in his support for Liu Jixing.
Walking through the mountain pass, Wei Shen saw that there were several relatively large fighting ships, all of which were parked in the deep water area of the sea on this side of the mountain pass, and there were many soldiers and generals on the board waiting solemnly. When he arrived at the beach, although the weather was good, he also saw the waves crashing on the shore, and Wei Shen had to be careful to stand firm.
The officers and soldiers on the boat put down a few wide thick wooden pedals with their hands and feet, and everyone served Liu Jixing a few times after getting on the boat, and the talents here got on the boat one after another. Among them, Wei Shen was specially accompanied by Liu Jixing Jinkou, so he could take Chang San and Wei Xi on the boat together. Where have Chang San and Wei Xi usually seen such a character, who followed Wei Shen and cowered closely, they would only follow everyone!
The boat slowly drove away from the coast, and after sailing out for a while, the speed gradually became faster, Liu Jixing naturally went into the inner cabin to rest, Wei Shen and they were all waiting outside, but they could also enjoy the seaside scenery, all the way the boat was next to the coastline and the deep sea was driving, the speed of the ship was relatively fast, and the hull was also very stable.
The hall in the cabin is relatively simple, and an Arhat bed is covered with Shu brocade, and Liu Jixing sits on it quietly combing through various clues during this time. For today's rice planting, it was originally planned, but it was a harvest to meet Wei Shen unexpectedly, Liu Jixing understood that no matter how powerful a person is, there is only one pair of hands. Especially as a decision-maker, as long as you have a big picture, you can leave things like this to more people to deal with, and a more mature idea is formed in your heart!
Xiao Yue sat on the right side and looked at Liu Jixing's already somewhat tough face, and even had a faint beard on his chin, thinking of the maturity of the mind of this young man who was almost ten years younger than himself, Xiao Yue was even a little confused, and raised him to the height of Xia Qinghou in his heart, looking at Liu Jixing's eyes full of curiosity and questions.
If Xiao Yue believed that it was the help of his own sect that allowed Liu Jixing to go all the way, now Liu Jixing basically did not act according to the will of the sect. However, Xiao Yue clearly felt the changes in the territory of the Han Kingdom during this time, the people's awareness of the royal family was unprecedentedly high, and the loyalty of the soldiers to the royal family was already the strongest in this era, and what made Xiao Yue even more incomprehensible was everyone's sense of belonging to the Liu family's imperial dynasty. Even people like Xiao Yue, who don't know much about people's livelihood and military affairs, know that this world is becoming clearer and clearer in Liu Jixing's hands, and she seems to have seen Liu Jixing's feeling of raising his horse and whipping the country!
When he accompanied Liu Jixing out, Xiao Yue once went to Xia Qinghou and talked to him about Liu Jixing's changes and the huge influence of the Han Kingdom during this time, Xia Qinghou only said two words to Xiao Yue, "Genius!" ”
Wang Yu didn't think about it so much, she only knew that Liu Jixing must be a good emperor and think about the people of the world living and working in peace and contentment. Since she has committed to Liu Jixing, as long as she is by Liu Jixing's side, she will not let Liu Jixing deviate from the general trend of the world.
Although the Liu family has received mixed reviews since Gaozu took power, the practice of the Liu family's cool government has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But Wang Yu knew that Liu Jixing was obviously changing, during this time, almost all of her and Xiao Yue accompanied Liu Jixing to inspect everywhere, she saw too many measures that surprised her, obviously these political affairs were thought out by Liu Jixing in advance, and ordered people to implement them in an orderly manner, and now they have some effect one by one.
Liu Jixing did not hide the two of them, and explained the role and effect of the measures to the two people one by one, Wang Yu knew that Liu Jixing's various pioneers were unheard of. Looking at Liu Jixing's appearance, Wang Yu didn't know how he looked at this monster who grew up, why he suddenly became so enlightened, is it really the law of Daozun Immortals and Immortals, so that Liu Jixing can save the world, Wang Yu doesn't know how to face all this, everything is like a dream bubble, and he can't help but sit next to him and gently pinch his left arm and shoulder.
"Yu'er! I'm not tired, I'm just thinking about a talent like Wei Shen, you tell me what I should do now if he has no fame! Liu Jixing gently held Wang Yu's hand, thinking of this talented woman who had been wronged and fulfilled herself, her eyes were full of love and tenderness.
There is a plan in his heart that may conflict with the current system, but for the sake of his future, Liu Jixing has already made a decision in his heart. Holding her thin waist and sitting beside him, he hugged her tightly and whispered: "Your body is not as good as Yue'er, you will be very tired with me all the time, take a good rest, and I will call you when it comes!" ”
Wang Yu blushed and looked at Xiao Yue, who looked funny on the side, shook his head lightly at Liu Jixing, and felt his sturdy body breath, although she had been with Liu Jixing for a while, her education since childhood made her still a little shy, and she couldn't help whispering: "The concubine is not tired, it is the duty of the concubine to accompany the prince!" This Wei Shen is a talent, the prince doesn't have to stick to clichés, as long as he can exert his ability within the scope he is familiar with, the prince can act according to his own ideas! ”
Feeling Liu Jixing's restless hand, Wang Yu became short of breath, and the transition from Wang Shi to concubine made Wang Yu have a long time entangled, but Liu Jixing's love from the heart finally slowly melted Wang Yu. After all, I have been with Liu Jixing for a while, and besides, I am now Liu Jixing's concubine, thinking of Liu Jixing's methods in the palace, I can't help but look at Liu Jixing with shame.
Who knew that Liu Jixing was interested, and even Xiao Yue on the side hugged him, Xiao Yue looked at Liu Jixing with a smile, and did not refuse just looked at Wang Yu with a smile, so ashamed that Wang Yu wanted to get into the cracks in the ground.
Le Fan, who was wearing civilian clothes on the side, obediently retreated to the outer cabin, and lowered his eyebrows and lowered the curtain, but the person stood with his face facing outward, but there was a strange expression on his face. Although he is now physically disabled, he really can't understand how Liu Jixing can be so interested in these two mediocre-looking women, looking at the batches of beauties released by Liu Jixing in the palace, Le Fan can only close his eyes and think, maybe Liu Jixing wants to be a gentleman through the ages! That's why I found these ordinary-looking women to restrain myself!
Liu Jixing himself didn't know that his aesthetics had led to the image in the hearts of these people, and now he has risen to the height of a great man.
It was the first time for Wei Shen to take such a big boat, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. No one on this boat dared to make a noise, although it was not the same boat as Liu Jixing, everyone was also extremely conscious.
Zhao Cijian whispered a few words with Wei Shen, and the words were much more cordial, meaning nothing more than the two of them going back to the government to get together again.
Wei Shen's mind hadn't calmed down yet, but when Zhao Cijian said this, he naturally happily agreed. After all, in Wei Shen's heart, Zhao Cijian is still his boss, and Zhao Cijian is a real county parent official.
The fleet traveled for more than half an hour, and slowly sailed into a large harbor, and Wei Shen saw a crowded port appear in front of him from a distance. Looking at the coast from this boat, Wei Shen had heard a lot of things about the newly built dock from the Yanai, but he was still greatly shocked to see it.
Slowly approaching the shore, I saw several large docks and docks full of people, including teams of soldiers and large ships under construction. Everyone was busy in an orderly manner, and what was surprising was that there were hardly any overseers, only the mighty soldiers stood and patrolled from afar, and the number of these patrolling soldiers in each team was not a few.
The fighting ship was able to dock slowly, and after docking, Liu Jixing's arrival did not cause any sensation, and no one came to deliberately greet the group.
Liu Jixing was dressed casually like a peasant, although there were some people around him, but including Shi Shao, they were all casually decorated. The people along the way didn't pay attention to these people, they were all doing their jobs diligently, and even Zhao Cijian, who came to accompany him, changed into Confucian clothes.
He may know Liu Jixing's personality, and deliberately instructed his entourage to keep a low profile, so he is diligent and thrifty and self-disciplined these days. Only Wu Yanrou was wearing a half-body soft-armored military uniform, and the group looked like they were all his entourage.
Zhao Cijian walked slowly with Liu Jixing and looked slowly, while explaining all kinds of work to Liu Jixing in detail, and at the same time introducing the purpose of the work and the clarity of the requirements in detail, it seems that he has made these things clear and clear during this time.
Wei Shen felt a little emotion in his heart, but it was obviously not suitable to send it out at this time, but he could see Zhao Cijian's every move clearly, and carefully felt the atmosphere of Zhao Cijian's eloquent talk in Liu Jixing, Wei Shen felt that he had benefited a lot.
Liu Jixing is obviously very easy-going, and Wang Yu and Xiao Yue are also dressed in men's clothes, and everyone seems to be not so restrained. Liu Jixing asked Zhao Cijian some questions if he didn't understand, and sometimes he would ask some suggested questions, which Wei Shen had never heard of, and he didn't know much about Zhao Cijian, Wei Shen couldn't help but feel more mysterious and curious about Liu Jixing.
Everyone walked all the way to the other side of the sea, where there was an open shipyard for building large ships. Here is completely close to the deep-water dock, there are already many fighting ships parked on the seaside, some of which are already active with soldiers, and some seem to be still testing the water for maintenance.
Suddenly, a shout was heard, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they looked at it!
When Wei Shen looked at it, he was even more stunned, only to see two pavilions moving slowly in the sea. When I looked at it again, it turned out to be two huge ships, which were the most prosperous building ships in the pre-Tang Dynasty. It was the first time he had seen such a huge building ship, these two huge building ships were like two huge sea giants, and the structure of the six-story pavilion was beyond Wei Shen's imagination. There were four smaller boats towing on the side of the ship, apparently preparing to sail into the sea.
Liu Jixing stood there with a smile and watched, now under the supervision of Abbas, a perennial navigator, and with the cooperation of the general supervisor and the Ministry of Industry, the Dahan Navy has four large building ships restored to normal state, plus the original small building ship that has been serving inland, Dahan is now a super strong naval army with five building ships.
Liu Jixing has his own plans and goals, and is ready to send two ships to Hainan Island in Yazhou, Qiongzhou to guard it. To the east of the Han Kingdom was the Min State and the Wu Yue Qian Clan, and Liu Jixing knew that the Min State was the last to submit to the Song Dynasty, so he decided to send one ship to the sea of Chaozhou to prepare to prevent the interference of the Min State and Wu Yue.
There is also a building ship that must stay in the sea off the Xingwang Mansion, Liu Jixing doesn't want his final ending to have a joke like the queen in history, and be cut off by Le Fan and a group of eunuchs. With this building ship in the sea off the Xingwang Mansion, it can maneuver at any time, of course, the premise is absolute loyalty.
Now the only thing that Dahan does not lack is money, Liu Jixing is ready to build ten more building ships, of course, Liu Jixing doesn't want others to talk about himself, so he not only took out all his private treasury, but also got Lu Ya's strong support. To Liu Jixing's surprise, Pan Yulian also donated a lot of money in the name of King Gui, which was an eye-opener for Liu Jixing.
Cheap Daddy Emperor Liu Sheng is not dead, Liu Jixing is naturally not good at taking money from the treasury in a big way, but he has also passed a lot of budgets for the Ministry of Supervision.
