I have to say that folk legends such as Journey to the West are not fabricated out of thin air, but created by the majority of people together.

Li Shimin looked at the report and marked a little on the map on the table.

Although Li Tai and Li Ke followed, he still had to grasp the traces of Leng Feng and the others.

From the current point of view, Leng Feng should be taking Li Tai to Dengzhou. The shipyard in Dengzhou is already of sufficient scale, and with the blacksmiths trained by the Thunderbolt Division, there is no problem in manufacturing ironclad ships.

It seems that Leng Feng went to Dengzhou to make ironclad ships. This can also be seen from Feng Ang's busy running back to Lingnan. As long as the East China Sea Fleet completes the replacement of ironclad ships, it will be their turn to establish the South China Sea Fleet in the South China Sea.

This old fellow!

Li Shimin smiled, but didn't care. As long as Lingnan is still of the same heart as the Central Plains, it is not a problem for Feng Ang to do whatever he wants.

More than ten years is enough to show Feng An's loyalty. The South China Sea Fleet can be established in the South China Sea, but the scale cannot be too large, and it must be managed by special personnel.

The five lixima is essential.

Taking out a piece of paper, Li Shimin began to draft a draft: "There are three people, the Duke of Huguo, the King of Wei, and the King of Shu, who led all craftsmen to build ships in Dengzhou, and ordered the officials of all ministries to help each other with all their might, and not to slack off..."

This command will be made into a decree and spread everywhere.

Leng Feng and the three of them are working for the combat power of the Tang Dynasty, so the imperial court must give them a green light as help.

The next day, the decree began to spread to all parts of the shipbuilding needs.

The eldest grandson Wuji also got one, which ordered the Ministry of Civil Affairs to provide all the expenses during the ship.

I don't know how much it will cost to build a large project like shipbuilding, and I am afraid that it is possible to empty a small part of the current state treasury.

The eldest grandson Wuji did not accept the order, but entered the palace and asked to see the emperor.

After entering the Yangju Palace, the eldest grandson Wuji said straight to the point: "Your Majesty, why do you want our court to pay for the shipbuilding?" ”

Li Shimin wrote a few strokes of the reply, and wondered: "The construction of ironclad ships is to improve the combat strength of the East China Sea Army, isn't this a matter of the imperial court?" Why didn't the imperial court pay for it? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji said anxiously: "However, when I was researching gunpowder weapons before, it was all paid by the Protector himself!" ”

Li Shimin was even more puzzled: "This was indeed the case before, after all, the imperial court had little tax at that time, and it couldn't afford to squander the lightning division." This is a favor owed by the imperial court to the protector, and now that the treasury can supply the shipyard, why should the protector pay for it? ”

Speaking of which, Li Shimin somewhat understood the thoughts of the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Auxiliary, official affairs are official affairs, private affairs are private affairs, and it was paid by the protector of the country before, but now that the treasury can bear it, why do you want him to pay for it? The East China Sea Fleet is the imperial court, not his Leng Feng's private army.

I know that you have a bit of a hatred for the rich of the Protector, but Mowgli, the world is already paying high taxes every year, and we can't squeeze the world anymore for no reason! ”

Eldest Sun Wuji sighed.

He does have a sense of hatred for the world, or for Leng Feng. He has worked hard to run the eldest grandson's family for more than 20 years, but the result is that the world has only been in business for more than ten years, which makes it difficult for them to carry it.

No matter what idea Leng Feng comes up with, he can make money, and what he painstakingly considers will either not work, or it will simply be a step late.

Obviously, he was optimistic about the land of Xiude Fang and was ready to collect some of the ones that would increase in price, but when he raised the money to buy it, he was told that most of the land in Xiude Fang had already fallen into the hands of the Protector.

The night he heard the news, he couldn't sleep all night.

After listening to Li Shimin's words, the eldest grandson Wuji could only retreat.

In his opinion, the shipyard can mobilize a lot of treasury money this time, but whenever Leng Feng stretches out a hand in this, he can make a handful of money. Profit and name, the protector of the country is a good calculation!

Leng Feng, who got off the boat, sneezed for no reason.

It is close to Dengzhou, and although you can't see the sea, you can already smell the salty smell of the sea breeze. Further on is the area where the river flows into the sea, where there are too many whirlpools for the boats to maneuver.

Zhou Jiao, the assassin of Dengzhou, had already led people to wait on the shore, and when he saw Leng Feng, Zhou Jiao said loudly to the people behind him: "Folks, this is the protector of the country!" ”

Immediately, loud cheers rang out from the shore, and the people spontaneously piled together the things they had brought, and soon a hill was piled up.

Leng Feng led the two children to Zhou Jiao's side, looked at the mountain-like thing, and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Zhou Jiao said with a smile: "Protecting the country, this is a little bit of the villagers' heart. Last year, Dengzhou sold seafood according to the method you taught, and the fishermen made a lot of money. Although the people in the interior did not make money directly, the state became rich, so they had the money to hire craftsmen to make waterwheels and draw water to wash the saline-alkali land.

As you know, Dengzhou has basically nothing to produce except for the things in the sea. After three or five years of planting, the land will slowly turn into saline-alkali land. Growing grain in saline-alkali land is really planting a gourd and reaping two scoops.

So you are kind to the people you meet in Dengzhou! ”

Leng Feng walked to the hill and looked at it casually. The people didn't have anything good, most of them were grain, eggs, fish or something.

One of the baskets of black stuff caught Leng Feng's attention.

It's actually a sea cucumber!

Leng Feng picked out this basket of sea cucumbers and asked, "Whose is this?" ”

A man stood up and said with a smile: "Master Guogong, this is what I touched." If you like to eat, I'll go to the sea and touch a basket for you. ”

Leng Feng shook his head: "Even if you gave me this basket, next time I eat it, I'll buy it from you." This thing lives on the bottom of the sea, and even a good person with water can't catch too much. ”

The man still smiled: "How dare I ask you for money, the villagers will poke my backbone, this year I saved enough money to marry my daughter-in-law, but it's all thanks to you!" ”

The man's words drew laughter from all around.

Leng Feng handed the basket to Leng Jing to carry, and said to the people around him: "Folks, I accept your wishes, but only this time!" It's your hands that make you money, I just said a few words, and I don't have much credit. ”

Zhou Jiao arched his hand and said: "Although the protector of the country is only a few words, but he has woken up the lower officials, how can it be useless?" ”

Leng Feng waved his hand: "Okay, don't be polite, the shipyard has prepared our accommodation?" ”

Zhou Jiao saw that Leng Feng was starting to get down to business, and hurriedly asked the officials to organize the people to leave.

After there were no people around, Zhou Jiao replied: "After receiving your letter, the lower official notified the shipyard to start preparations." The cement dock you want has been caused for a long time. ”
