"Chitose don't worry! My sister has always been arrogant, and I blame my parents for spoiling her. She said that if she wanted to marry Chitose, she needed to enjoy a full set of royal etiquette, so as not to be laughed at by other concubines of Chitose in the future. Wang Bo lowered his head and whispered, of course, this is also what his parents think.

"Huh! I see. You go back and explain to the second elder of Lingzun Lingtang, you can first inherit this marriage of this king, this king is not about to ask his father and queen mother to appoint a matchmaker to come here, Sister Dai is the same age as this king, but wait two years. Two years later, this king ascended the throne, and it was not too late to welcome Dai's sister into the harem. Yang Er was in a better mood, if all the women he liked in the world wanted to marry the prince, he would really be angry with himself.

"That's the best! This matter can be settled today, and my Donglai royal family will focus on Chitose. Wang Bo was also overjoyed when he heard Yang Er's words. Judging from what he knew about the young prince, it was basically certain that the Great Sui River would fall into his hands, and his family would become a relative of the emperor in two years! The matter of glorifying the ancestors.

"This jade pendant is given to the king by the queen mother on the day of the king's birth, and it has been with the king for more than ten years, and has never left the body. After that, he gently took off the mutton fat jade pendant hanging from his waist and handed it to Wang Bo.

Wang Bo was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly knelt down with both hands to take it. With this royal token, this marriage has not changed, and the identity of his emperor's eldest brother has also been determined.

As soon as Wang Bo was sent away, Li Taizhi came to meet him as promised. It can be seen that he has not slept well all night, and his two eye circles are a little dim.

"Master Li, I've been thinking about it all night, but I have an idea." Yang Er casually beckoned Li Taizhi to sit down, and then picked up the meatloaf that he had taken a few bites and continued to eat, asking Li Taizhi while eating.

"My lord, taking in the world's students and martial arts is a big matter, and the lower officials don't dare to think about it at all. No matter how you think about this matter, you feel that it violates the system and does not work, so please think twice, don't let Yang Su impeach the lord in front of the emperor. As soon as Li Taizhi sat down, he saw Yang Er and asked about it, so he hurriedly got up and saluted. For him, this matter will not work at all, and the slightest trepidation will be met with a strong counterattack from the princelings. If it were not supported by the emperor's decree, these students would not dare to go to Hedong.

"Hmmm! What you said also makes sense, this is indeed something that ordinary people dare not think of and dare not think about. This king has already thought about it. I have a long letter to the capital Yuwen Taifu and Luzhou Pei Sima last night, this king wants you to go to see these two people in person, what the letter says is just an idea, and the specific implementation needs to be explained to the two of them in person. Follow Ben Wang to the study. After Yang Er swallowed the cake, he clapped his hands, and was about to lead Li Taizhi back to the study to discuss the details.

After the two entered the study and closed the door, when they opened it and came out, it was almost time for lunch again. The long talk for nearly two hours made Li Taizhi sigh with emotion, as if he had eaten human soup and injected chicken blood, his cheeks were flushed, and he was refreshed. Under Yang Er's repeated explanations, all the doubts in Li Taizhi's heart were all resolved, and he took two letters out of the palace, and after a hasty meal, he ordered 50 personal guards, got on the horse and went to the direction of Liyang City, and it was the closest and safest route to Zezhou and then to Luzhou through Liyang.

In a small building in the backyard of the mansion, Wang Dai was sitting by the window of her boudoir, looking at the mutton fat white jade pendant in her hand stupidly. From the smile hanging on the corner of the mouth, from the obsessive eyes, it is full of satisfied yearning.

"Miss, you see this jade pendant for two hours, the dishes are cold, do you still want to eat it?" A well-behaved little maid walked behind her and reminded jokingly.

"Oh, Xiaohuan'er, you can eat if you want, I'm not hungry." Wang Dai was taken aback by this girl, and she was also embarrassed, so she hurriedly hid the jade pendant in her hand in her cuffs, turned around and pretended to be angry.

"Miss! I think you should hurry up and eat something, and then think about sending something to Yang Gongzi. Xiao Huan'er said with some naughty play.

After being reminded by this girl, Wang Dai suddenly felt reasonable, and she was so excited that she almost forgot about it, but what should she give to her husband? Wang Dai sat at the table, frowning lightly, and the chopsticks she picked up did not move for a long time.

"Miss! What else do you want! Just give the Luo Pa of a rich peony you just embroidered to Yang Gongzi. ”

"No, Miss Ben wants to re-embroider a pair, peonies are not good. Alright, let's eat! Obviously, Wang Dai thought of what to give after being reminded by this little ring, and her mood became cheerful again.

For several days in a row, Yang Er spent several days in the shipyard accompanied by Wang Bo. Although the iron used to forge the keel of the sea ship has not yet arrived, the other ship's accessories are in a hurry. Shipboards, masts, sails, rudders, etc., are manufactured in the zone, and each spare part is prepared in quantities of ten. These hundreds of boatmen are all skilled, and the construction site is in good order. Under Yang Er's personal training, everything is very normal.

"Your Highness, there is another shipyard in Dengzhou not far from here, and its scale is even higher than mine. It's a stone's throw from the estuary, and it's better than mine in every way. But the flat-bottomed boats he built there were used for inland waterway shipping, and few went to sea. Its inland river fleet is huge, Tang Bi is far away in Jinan Province, and he is also negligent in the management of this Dengzhou shipyard, if he takes over the shipyard there, and the two places build new sea ships at the same time, the output will be several times greater. Wang Bo is very familiar with this situation, seeing that his shipyard can only build 10 large cargo ships and 10 frigates at the same time, and only 20 ships in a year, this output makes Wang Bo very unhappy.

"Brother Wang, I told you, you and I should change my name now, just call me brothers, don't be rusty." Yang Er thought that since he was already a family, this Wang Bo should be his eldest brother. It's very raw to be called "Chitose or His Highness" again.

"What the eldest brother said is that he should find a way to eat the Dengzhou Shipyard and the Dengzhou Mansion. Brother Rong has a moment to think about it. Yang Er said to Wang Bo who was following behind him as he walked in front. But he faintly felt that this matter was not easy to do, even if Tang Bi was willing to exchange Dengzhou Mansion with him, he would not be willing to hand over the shipyard. Because the water transportation business in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River is basically eating alone, just because he has such a precious shipyard in his hands.

Dawn City Wharf.

Dozens of flat-bottomed boats in Laizhou are docked at the docks, and teams of porters are carrying large wooden boxes to the boats.

"Quick, we must carry the wooden boxes on the ship today, and each person can get ten cents more, but if I can't finish moving, I won't have a single one. Fast! In a stilted teahouse not far from the wharf, an officer in armor shouted out the window at the workers who were nervously carrying containers, and there was a look of anxiety in his eyes. This general is Jiao Fang, the general sent by Lu Zhaolin of Jiyuan Mansion to guard this Liyang town. The crate was full of heavy pieces of refined iron from several Zezhou iron mines. In order to cooperate with the shipbuilding of the main Gonglaizhou, Lu Zhaolin almost emptied all the iron ingots in the treasury of Zezhou. In addition, a large ship without iron ingots was already full of silver ingots, as many as 2 million. This is the money requested by the lord Yang Er to subsidize the Laizhou shipyard.

"I said, old Jiao. Don't be there anymore, the cargo box is so heavy, don't be tired of your life, if you die, the lord will punish it, don't blame Lao Zuo I didn't remind you. You don't look at the sun shining outside, it's called poison. "The person in charge of escorting the boat to Liyang Wharf is Zuo Tiancheng, the commander of the Chinese army escort beside Yang Er, this person has always been a self-acquaintance, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to get acquainted with anyone, this Jiao Fang's personality is somewhat similar to him, they are both thick and fine people, and soon the two of them have reached the point where they have nothing to talk about.

"Brother Zuo, that's right. It will be noon, and then let the workers rest for an hour, avoid the sun, and not die if they are tired, but they will die if they are not even. Jiao Fang sat down, picked up the cool tea and drank it in one gulp.

"Say hello to the guy, I have to get a few hard dishes for this meal at noon, it's all fucking hard work, and there are few hard dishes to base on, and my legs have to shake. Then I went to find a porridge shop in the city, boiled a big pot of mung bean porridge and sent it to the dock in the afternoon. One of the attendants next to him listened and hurriedly went to make arrangements.

The hustle and bustle on the docks continued until the evening, when the lights were turned on, when all the containers stockpiled on the docks were loaded. At night, it is impossible to sail on the surging Yellow River, so you can only wait until dawn to lift anchor and go down the river.

Jiao Fang had a great responsibility, and personally arranged for 500 sergeants to guard the dock at night, and he also fell asleep on a ship with Zuo Tiancheng.

As soon as it was dark, the bustle on the docks resumed. All the shipwrights supported the ship offshore, Zuo Tiancheng and Jiao Fang said goodbye, and the ship was escorted by 200 elite soldiers of the Laizhou Mansion Wang Bo Guard, and it was safe and worry-free to return the same way.

"Brother, the fleet to Liyang is back and is unloading at the harbor wharf!" Yang Er, who was taking a nap in the afternoon, was woken up by Wang Bo, who hurriedly entered the house. As soon as he heard that the fleet had finally returned, Yang Er was also overjoyed, and he hurriedly got up from the rocking chair and took Zhong Jian out of the dust and the two followed Wang Bo to the port. Yang Er has been calculating the time of this one-time trip, which is exactly 10 days. It is estimated that it will take 10 days to take a dry road, but how can such a quantity of goods be transported by water on a dry road. It seems that this canal must be excavated, and the efficiency of water transportation is incomparable.

According to Yang Er's request, 300 iron-making craftsmen from Zezhou Iron Mine will come with the support of Zezhou Iron Mine this time, and they will undertake the casting of the keel of the sea ship, which is also the part that is lacking here in Wang Bo, the capital of Laizhou.

Seeing that all the materials required for shipbuilding were ready, the Laizhou shipyard also began to officially start building sea vessels. Yang Er could take a good breath, and his mood was much lighter. The next thing to do is to assist Wang Bo to build several types of factories in Laizhou Mansion, and if you want to do a big business, you have to make some things yourself. They are not short of money, the sericulture, textile, garment, iron manufacturing, ceramic manufacturing and other industrial systems to be implemented, the location advantages of Laizhou Mansion should be fully excavated as much as possible, that is, to build all supporting industrial systems for the maritime trade industry. A magnificent period of exploration is coming, and the future generations of Columbus and Magellan clowns are all standing aside.

After several days of galloping, Li Taizhi and his entourage finally arrived in Luzhou. After arranging his entourage, Li Taizhi didn't dare to delay for a moment, shook off the dust on his body, and went to the Luzhou Mansion to meet Sima Pei Shiju of Hedong County.

"Huh? Lord, this is? Pei Shiju opened his mouth wide while looking at the letter in his hand, with a look of surprise, if it weren't for the fact that this was Yang Er's handwritten letter personally sent by Li Taizhi, a thousand households of the Shandong Military Intelligence Department, he wouldn't have dared to believe the things and many arrangements written in this letter.

"My lord, the lord said, if there is anything unclear, just ask the lower officer. Xia Guan didn't think so before, but after the lord explained to Xia Guan one by one, Xia Guan believed that this matter was feasible. Li Taizhi said with a smile.

"Alright! I'm here to handle all the buildings and mansions involved. Personnel assignments may also be carried out as stated in the Lord's letter. It's just that this thing is too vain! Master Li, even if I build a cage here, I can attract a phoenix! It's too delusional. Pei Shiju still looked incredulous, smiled bitterly and shook his head, and didn't dare to say some words.

"The adults can handle it according to the regulations, as for how to attract Jin Feng, the lord also has his own arrangements. Many personnel are deployed in the main office, and the matters in charge are also simple and easy to understand. There is only one person, and the lord emphasizes that the official needs to discuss with him in private, and explain the lord's intentions to him alone. Xiaguan will no longer stay here, and will go to the capital tomorrow to meet Master Taifu. With that, Li Taizhi got up and left the house. I didn't have time to meet Liu Wenjing, the commander of the Shangguan Military Intelligence Department.

Hedong Luzhou Supervision Department Office.

Zhang Heng heard that the lord had sent someone to meet him, so he hurriedly put down his business and came out.

"Lord Zhang, Li Taizhi of the Shandong Qianhu of the Military Intelligence Department of the Xiaguan Military Intelligence Department is also. Today, I came to visit at the behest of the lord, and the lord entrusted the subordinate to bring a few confidential words to the lord. In a sense, not only was he Li Taizhi examined by the Supervision Department, but the entire Military Intelligence Department was watched by the Supervision Department. This Zhang Hengke is a very ruthless character.

"Oh? Please follow the old man to the secret room for a detailed discussion, please! Zhang Heng saw Li Taizhi's words like this, and he also knew that the matter was confidential, so he hurriedly asked Li Taizhi to go to the secret room to discuss.

Walk through several crooked cloisters, then enter an underground passage that descends, and enter a secret chamber.

"Master Li, there is no one else here, may I ask what the lord has to say?"

"Lord Zhang, here is a letter written by the lord himself, which contains the latest appointment arrangements of the lord. If there is any uncertainty, the lower official will explain again. Li Taizhi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Heng to look at.

Zhang Heng hurriedly took it and took it apart, and suddenly felt that the responsibility was heavy, twisted his beard, got up and paced in the secret room, and kept speculating about the lord's intentions.
