Chapter 161 Revealing His Identity and Accepting Donglai Du Gong secretly calculated Yuen Long
"Huh! Lord Wang, your guess is right, it is indeed from the royal family of the capital. When he met the Wang family brothers and sisters again, Yang Er admitted his identity without any taboos.
"Could it be that you are His Royal Highness the King of Jin who is known for her beautiful posture among the people?" Seeing that Yang Er confirmed what he was thinking, Wang Dai couldn't wait to interject a sentence, and as soon as she finished speaking, she felt that she had lost the reserve of a girl, and her face turned red.
"Huh! Dai's sister, this king, is the king of the Hedong Jin Dynasty, Yang Guangru, fake. Yang Er turned around and straightened his chest, and said with a smile on his face.
"Huh?" Although the two brothers and sisters were prepared when they heard this, they were also surprised, looked at each other, and didn't know how to talk for a while.
"Okay, your brother and sister also know the identity of this king, can we talk about getting rich together? This king is very short of money! Yang Er saw that the scene was slightly embarrassing, so he said jokingly.
"Good, good! Just sit down and have a good talk. The girl is fast, and she tells her subordinates to change the tea again. Wang Bo was at a loss for a while, and it was impossible to think that the emperor's son would come to his own territory, and he was in a hurry to do maritime trade business with him. Wang Dai heard her brother tell her to do things, and she reacted immediately, and after returning to normal, she hurriedly went out to make tea herself.
"Lord Wang, you privately occupy the county of Dasui, this king doesn't care, today I will only talk about maritime trade. From the Qin, Han, Wei and Jin dynasties to our Great Sui, all dynasties have always ignored maritime trade, only staring at the country, staring at the land of the people, and taking agriculture as the foundation of the country. The king thought that asking for food from the land would satisfy food and clothing at best, and that the people would not starve to death. But what this king wants is that the people not only have enough to eat, but also have money in their hands, and when they have money in their hands, they can make their lives better and let their children in the family afford to go to school. Therefore, this king hopes to strengthen commercial construction, not only to promote domestic commercial trade and strengthen the circulation of goods, but also to earn money from foreign vassal countries for the use of our people. The ban on opening the sea is an important national policy of this king in the future. This king sees that the shipyard here is beginning to take shape, but it needs to be expanded, and there must be at least 2,000 to 5,000 ship-making craftsmen, so that the shipbuilding can be scaled. If there are not thousands of ships at sea every time, the cost of going to sea will be high, and the profit of each trip will be very thin and not cost-effective. First expand the scale of the shipyard here, and then open another shipyard in the south of Jiaozhou Mansion in the future, and build ships at the same time. This king has invested in your Laizhou shipyard, and all the materials and labor expenses used in shipbuilding can be counted in this king's account, and Lord Wang can supervise the shipbuilding progress and recruit shipwrights with peace of mind. When 50 ships of each of the two new types of sea vessels are built, they can start sea trade between the two countries on the other side of the strait, and it will be counted as a trial voyage for new ships. If you are short of all kinds of goods and materials on the ship, this king can purchase them from all over the country. Yang Er said a lot, and he didn't know if the Wang brothers and sisters could eat well, so he stopped for a while to see what Wang Bo said, and he quickly drank a sip of the new tea brought by Sister Dai herself to moisten his throat.
"Chitose, Your Highness, if you take a stake in my shipyard, this king, oh, no! The lower officials are willing. It's just that this ----" Wang Bo wanted to speak at this time, and he didn't know how to organize the language for a while.
"Oh! So be it! From today on, you will not be the king of Laizhou Prefecture and County, it is not in line with the etiquette system of this dynasty, this king named you as the prime minister of the Ministry of Foreign Trade of this dynasty, and at the same time Jiaodong Mansion Yin, in charge of Donglai and Donghai counties, what does Lord Wang think? Yang Er said softly with a smile.
"Praise --- ping-pong ---" As soon as Yang Er's words fell, he heard the sound of the teacup falling to the ground and breaking on the side of the case, and at this time, he saw that the beautiful queen Dai was rubbing her wet hands in embarrassment, looking helpless.
"His Royal Highness Chitose, originally the lower officials were not the material to be officials, and sitting in this Donglai place is also recommended by the people, and it is something that cannot be shirked. In fact, I haven't received a few taxes in the past few years, but I have put a lot of money and food into it. My royal family has always been engaged in business, and my ancestors have maritime trade with Goryeo and other countries, although the scale is not large, but the sea route is familiar, and the language is also understood. In fact, Wang Bo questioned His Royal Highness the King of Jin in front of him, which was not enough to believe, and thought that it was a bit of child's play.
"Huh! You should take the official position given to you by this king, but now this king can't give you all kinds of corresponding honor guards such as official seals and official uniforms. When this king ascends the throne as the emperor, I will make up for you these things, so don't delay things because of this. Yang Er also knew his concerns, but he just didn't believe his words, so he solemnly promised Wang Bo that this promise was not unimportant.
"In this case, the lower official is willing to take a new post to guard the two counties of Donglai and Donghai for His Highness and supervise the construction of sea ships." Wang Bo saw that His Royal Highness the King of Jin had said something to this point, and he knew that it was true, so he hurriedly got up and saluted. At this time, the entire Donglai County was completely handed over to Yang Second-hand, and Yang Er was very satisfied with this result, and he realized his attachment to one of the top three in Shandong.
The Shandong strategy formulated by Yang Er is the three-word "extinguish, exchange, and receive". To destroy is to eliminate Tang Bi, in exchange for Du Fuwei to replace Xu Yuanlang, and to collect is to personally go to Donglai County to receive Wang Bo. This step of his own can be regarded as a success, Du Fuwei befriended Xu Yuanlang, which can be regarded as half of the intention of changing the word, but the matter of destroying Tang Bi still needs to wait for the opportunity, and he can't move now.
"Hmmm! Very good, but from today onwards, whenever I trade in the sea here, no matter how much you earn, your Wang family should have a profit of 20%. All costs are counted on this king. Yang Er said sharply, since he is a businessman, he wants to make profits, and if he wants someone else's shipyard foundation, he must have an explanation in terms of actual benefits, and he can't just give an official position.
"This, His Royal Highness Chitose can't ask for it." Wang Bo was shocked when he heard this, but this was too cheap, and he didn't dare to accept it anyway.
"It's decided, this king is not short of money, what he will worry about in the future is that there is too much money, and what he worries about is how to spend the money, hehe! Also, immediately organize the available flat-bottomed boats, and the king's relatives will take the king's token and handwritten letter to enter the river from the mouth of the river to the port of Liyang City, where they will wait for the Zezhou fine iron in the east of the river to board the ship. Yang Er instructed Wang Bo.
"Huh? Isn't Liyang City Tang Bi's territory? How can you get there? Wang Bo couldn't help but be shocked, he had always been at odds with Tang Bi, but this time he wanted to go to his territory, and he couldn't help but worry.
"Huh! It no longer belongs to Tang Bi, but now it belongs to my Hedong rule, and there is my Hedong general Wu Tianxi to guard it, and the fleet is like going home. Yang Er laughed heartily, the entire lower reaches of the Yellow River until the mouth of the sea are now their own territory, and the river transportation is completely unimpeded.
When the brothers and sisters of the Wang family heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief.
Back in his room, Yang Er immediately wrote a letter, called Yu Wenhualong, handed him his own token, and instructed him to personally hand over the letter to Luzhou Pei Shiju and let Zheng Fengchi, who has rich experience in business, supervise the loading of fine iron on the ship and escort it to Laizhou.
Jianghuai Shanyang City.
Du Fuwei is really energetic now, and after meeting with the lord Yang Guang last time, he fully understood the lord's deployment arrangements for himself here and in Jianghuai. To put it simply, let go of the hand to recruit troops and buy horse-drawn poles to expand your own power, occupy as much territory as you can occupy for the lord, and recover as much land as you can in the hands of the scholars. Guided by this strategic approach. He can also call on and command the right of people and horses in the hands of Wang De of Luoyang Qianhu and Li Taizhi of Shandong Qianhu at any time, with the purpose of becoming the boss of this Jianghuai area in the shortest possible time.
"Big brother, someone from Li Qianhu's side is here."
"Oh, please, Gongshi, you can also listen to it, and see what kind of will the lord brings." Du Fuwei said to his henchman Fu Gongshi, who entered the house to spread the word.
A moment later, Fu Gongshi led a middle-aged man who looked like a merchant into the house.
This person was familiar with Du Fuwei, he knew it, and he also knew that it was his confidant, and Master Fu Gongshi had no scruples, so he took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Du Fuwei to see.
After Du Fuwei read it, he handed it to the auxiliary stone. Then he said to the person who sent the letter: "Is there any other explanation from Brother Taizhi?" ”
"Master Li said, if Lord Du lacks cadres here, just open your mouth to him, and in any case, you must complete the master's instructions in the shortest possible time."
"Hmmm! When you go back, tell Brother Taizhi, and the next official will do his best. Let him send a message to the lord, and say that the lower officials will hand over Langya County to the lord. Du Fuwei said fiercely, and the auxiliary stone on the side also nodded again and again.
After sending off the messenger, Du Fuwei and Fu Gongshi discussed in the house.
"Brother Gongshi, I see that here you support my brother first, and there is no big deal. Brother, I personally took dozens of brothers to Fei County, Langya County, to visit Xu Yuanlang, the boss of Langya, if I can make friends, my brother and I will worship him as the eldest brother, and lurk beside him. If you can't hand it over, brother, I will find an opportunity to kill this person, so that his Langya County will be merged into my Jianghuai from now on. ”
"Big brother, from the younger brother's point of view, it's best to lurk on the side, one Langya County is too big, and it is quite difficult for my Jianghuai power to extend to Langya; In addition, keeping him can resist the Tangbi forces of Jinan Prefecture going south to our Jianghuai, which is a good shield. Besides, once the lord wants that Langya County, my brother will slaughter that guy with a knife. Why bother to make trouble for yourself in the first place? ”
"Brother, this trick is the best, okay, brother, I listen to you, tomorrow afternoon, I will choose 60 brothers to go to Fei County with me, and I will ask my brother here."
After Fu Gongshi agreed, he turned and left. This auxiliary stone is also quite famous in the history of the Sui Dynasty, and it has always been one and the same as Du Fuwei, occupying a place in Jianghuai, and people are also quite righteous and bold. In response to Yu Wenhua and his invitation, when Yang Yong was trapped in the Goolan Courtyard in the West City of Chang'an City, this auxiliary Gongshi acted beside Du Fuwei and is currently the deputy Qianhu officer of the Jianghuai Military Intelligence Department.
Putting down the auxiliary stone stationed in Jianghuai Shanyang, not to mention, he said that he took 60 relatives to Fei County to meet Xu Yuanlang's Du Fuwei.
This Xu Yuanlang is also a hero on the rivers and lakes, originally a mountain bandit green forest gathered on Mount Tai in Langya County, relying on the mountains and the government to deal around, the government has returned several times in vain, which makes Xu Yuanlang and his forces more and more powerful, and the surrounding county governments no longer dare to enter the mountains at will, but Xu Yuanlang's troops often go down the mountain to the surrounding county governments to plunder, and gradually the surrounding county government officials have resigned and fled. Xu Yuanlang occupied the important town of Fei County as a stronghold, and his subordinates gathered 2 or 30,000 horses, so he no longer became the king on the mountain.
On this day, Du Fuwei and his entourage came to the gate of Philadelphia County with great momentum, and the soldiers defending the city knew that they were friends from the same way when they saw the appearance of his party. The city gate guard personally brought this group of people to the government to see Xu Yuanlang.
When the two met, Gu was a well-known hero on the rivers and lakes, and there was nothing that they couldn't go anywhere. In order to welcome friends on the rivers and lakes, Xu Yuanlang immediately set up a feast and invited Du Fuwei and his party to drink.
After Du Fuwei had drunk three rounds, he shouted to Xu Yuanlang with the strength of the wine: "Brother Xu, the younger brother has been in this adjacent Jianghuai Shanyang City for a long time, and the eldest brother is a neighbor of each other, why not turn Langya and Sanyang into one place, you and my brother are in charge of the same power, regardless of each other, what does the eldest brother think of the younger brother's words?" ”
"Huh! It's good, your JAC is a treasure! At that time, my brother was dealing with the officers and soldiers on Mount Tai for many years and did not have time, so I asked Lao Du to pick up a leak and occupy it first. Lao Du, you are not a person who loves to let people, come to drink! Xu Yuanlang was also drunk, and after listening to Du Fuwei's proposal, he also directly detonated the topics of mutual concern.
"Huh! What Brother Xu said is, in fact, it is very easy to do, you and I are heroes in the rivers and lakes, whoever is the boss will speak with our fists, whose fists are hard, who will be the boss, and the loser will admit himself, how about it? ”
"Humph! Lao Du, Lao Du, it's you again, who doesn't know that your Lao Du is good at fists and feet, and there are so many cottage leaders on the land of Jianghuai that you have cleaned up properly with this hand, so that you can sit on the top of Jianghuai. Lao Xu, not only is my fist and foot kung fu not inferior to you, but I also have tens of thousands of elite soldiers under my command, and you Lao Du alone can't compare. Xu Yuanlang tore the chicken leg while drinking wine, and exposed Du Fuwei's shortcomings. Du Fuwei has not been in charge of Jianghuai for a long time, and there are less than 10,000 horses under his command, which cannot be compared with Xu Yuanlang who has been in the green forest for a long time.
"Huh! Boss Xu, your words are wrong, it is true that there are many people under you, but they are all infantry, and the soldiers lack weapons, and they lack armor. Although my men and horses are less than 10,000, they are well-equipped, and they have 3,000 cavalry. ”
Everyone in the hall laughed loudly, and the banquet became more and more lively. The generals of the two sides also toasted and punched their fists, and drank heartily.
"Okay, according to your Lao Du's proposal, not to compare soldiers, but to generals. Tomorrow, we will have a school competition, and only the winner will sit on the top spot of the two big counties of you and me. Come, drink! Xu Yuanlang listened to Du Fuwei's words, and suddenly had a plan, this south lacks horses, and he is also thinking about having a cavalry, but this horse has money and nowhere to buy it, and this Du Fuwei somehow got a 3,000-person cavalry in his hands, this is a symbol of strength! In front of these 3,000 cavalry, the men and horses who can't even match their weapons are really not his opponents. If you agree with his idea of boxing, no matter who is the boss at that time, they will fight together, and the strength will be improved, which is a way.
