Yang Cong is in the water of the Lu family and the Li family, the port terminal is only one aspect, more importantly, he wants to monopolize the overseas trade of the Ming Dynasty for a long time.

After all, he can't be the governor of Zhejiang for a lifetime, once he leaves the southeast, who can guarantee that the Yang family's maritime business will not be taken away, he snatched the business from the maritime giants, and it is strange that people don't want to try to take it back.

At this time, although the Longxi Chen clan and the Zhangpu Lin clan are not as good as before, the Yuyao Xie clan and the Ningbo Tu clan are still strong, and what is even more terrifying is Yan Song behind them, once he leaves the southeast, Yan Song will definitely help the maritime tycoons regain this business.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, the Lu family and the Li family can really compete with Yan Song in front of Jiajing, so he must bring the Lu family and the Li family in, so that even if he leaves the southeast, it will be difficult for Yan Song to snatch away the maritime business.

Li Xixian actually knows what Yang Cong values in his heart, although he doesn't have much power, there is no problem in protecting a port in the jurisdiction, just make a little effort, not only help Yang Cong, but also make money, why not?

As for other issues, he wasn't too worried, he knew very well what the relationship between his sister and the emperor was, and Lu Bing and the emperor were even closer to each other.

Fornication with the Japanese cowards, others may have committed capital crimes, but Lu Bing's crimes are not a big deal, and the emperor will never do anything to Lu Bing.

There is Lu Bing in the capital, and there is the Yang family in Quanzhou, so he still has to worry about something.

Such a good thing is not something that can be encountered at any time, more than 200,000 taels a year, which is also a huge amount of money for him, after all, he has only made tens of thousands of taels after being a commander for so many years.

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, since the lord can afford to be a lower official, the lower official will give up his life to accompany the gentleman and accompany the adult." ”

This Li Xixian nodded, the next thing is easy to do, the location of the port Yang Cong has actually been chosen, the location is in the south of Longxi, the southeast corner of Chenghai County, where the terrain is a bit similar to Zoumaxi, a big river enters the sea from there, the northwest is all the vast mountains, the land transportation is basically cut off, only there is a large open space near the sea.

The reason why Yang Cong was able to find that place was not that he was familiar with the coastal terrain, but mainly because it was the famous Moon Port in history, which he had seen in many places, after Zoumaxi and Shuangyu Island were destroyed by Zhu Kun, the maritime merchants gradually set it as a trading place, and the Longqing switch behind it also set it as a treaty port, which shows how suitable the location there is.

However, Yuegang is still just a wasteland at this time, and it is nominally the boundary of Zhangzhou Prefecture, and it is not under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture.

Of course, these are not problems, because there are no people there in the first place, and Yongningwei's Zhongzuo and Jinshan are near Yuegang, Yang Cong only needs to give an order to assign the sea area near Yuegang to Zhongzuo and Jinshan for defense.

The construction of the port is also relatively simple, and the port wharf here is actually a few rows of wooden stakes nailed into the sea along the coast, and then the wooden planks are laid on it, which can be completed in a few days.

The most important thing here is security, after all, the Ming Dynasty is implementing a sea ban at this time, whether it is doing business with Dongying or doing business with the Nanyang countries, it is prohibited.

The reason why Yang Cong asked Li Xixian to take charge of the port problem was to prevent someone from suing him for his "black state" after discovering the secret of Yuegang.

So, how do you prevent others from discovering the secrets of Moon Harbor?

This is very simple, just don't let idle people wait near the sea near Moon Harbor.

If this is placed in the later generations, it is almost impossible to block a large area of sea near the coastline, but it is not difficult at all in the Ming Dynasty, as long as some clippers are sent to patrol the waters near the Moon Harbor at all times, the Ming Dynasty is forbidden to go to sea at this time, and anyone who encounters the inspection ship of the Ming army can not hide, where to dare to approach.

For the sake of safety, Yang Cong deliberately replaced the 1,000 households of the Zhongzuo Institute and the Kinmen Institute with his own cronies Li Jianjiang and Li Jianlin's brothers, and at the same time, he also ordered someone to conduct an investigation of the military households of the two thousand households, and all the military households that had been related to the Longxi Chen family and the Zhangpu Lin family were all transferred away, and none of them remained.

In this way, after making some arrangements, Yang Cong personally led the fleet of the Zhejiang-Fujian Navy Division to Yuegang.

Of course, there is nothing in Moon Harbor at this time, just a wasteland sandwiched between the mountains and the sea.

After the fleet arrived, he did not explain anything to the soldiers of the Zhejiang-Fujian Naval Division, but ordered more than 10,000 soldiers to divide into two groups and take turns to land in small warships and build ports and simple barracks on wasteland.

The governor had an order, and naturally no one dared to slack off, so more than 10,000 soldiers were busy working on the wasteland.

At this time, whether it is to build a port or a barracks, most of them are made of wood, at most it is only a little stone, the moon port is backed by the mountains, wood and stone are naturally not lacking, and the guards at this time are almost all coolies, cutting trees, digging mountains and stones, building docks, building houses and so on are nothing to them.

More than 10,000 soldiers took turns to fight, the wharf and the house were simply forming at a speed visible to the naked eye, in less than five days, the port wharf was almost built, and the construction of the nearby military camp was also close to completion, Yang Cong personally stepped on the newly built wharf to inspect it, and then ordered the clipper to notify Wang Zhi, the chief soldier of the Zhejiang Naval Division, to come to discuss the matter.

A few days later, in the lobby of a simple barracks at the Yuegang Wharf, Yang Conggao, the governor of Zhejiang, sat on the main seat, and the generals Yu Dayou, the general soldier of Fujian, Tang Kekuan, the general soldier of Zhejiang, Wang Zhi, the commander of the Zhejiang Naval Division, Li Xixian, the commander of Yongningwei, Li Jianjiang, the Qianhu of the Kinmen Institute, and Li Jianlin, the Qianhu of the Zhongzuo Institute, stood neatly on the left and right sides, their faces full of seriousness, as if they were discussing something important.

If people who don't know the details of this battle see this battle, they will probably think that Yang Cong, the governor of Zhejiang, is going to arrange his generals to clear out pirates and pirates, but they don't know that what they discussed is not this at all.

Yang Cong slowly glanced around, and then said solemnly: "Everyone is their own people, this official will not be verbose, in the future, this month port will be the base of our maritime trade, whether it is Dongying or Nanyang goods will be concentrated here." ”

When everyone heard this, most of them showed strange looks on their faces.

This Governor is in charge of the eradication of pirates and pirates, and he is an "old man" who has summoned everyone to discuss the illegal business of the sea!

Of course, these people knew in advance that Yang Cong wanted to monopolize the maritime business, and most of them could profit from it, so although everyone was full of weirdness, no one stood up to do anything to dissuade them.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Cong ordered: "Jianjiang, you are responsible for arranging the inspection of the clippers and blocking the nearby seas, remember, twelve hours a day, you can't relax for a moment." ”

When Li Jianjiang heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Yang Cong continued to order: "Jianlin, you are responsible for transporting the goods, and in the future, the goods on land will be transported to the Zhongzuo Institute first, and you are responsible for arranging the ships to deliver the goods here, remember, no matter who asks, you say that you are transferring the grain and grass of the sailor." ”

When Li Jianlin heard this, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

Yang Cong then ordered: "Zhifu, Changsheng, in the future, you will be responsible for the transfer of land goods on land, I will equip you with a carriage, and you will pick some reliable people to come out and be responsible for transporting grain and grass, you know?" ”

When Yu Dayou and Tang Kekuan heard this, they hurriedly arched their hands and said in unison: "The last general understands." ”

Yang Cong continued to order: "Wang Zhi, you will be in charge of Dongying's business in the future, and the safety of the goods at sea will be handed over to you, if there is any danger, you can find Zhifu and Changsheng for support." ”

When Wang Zhi heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "The last general understands." ”

Yang Cong nodded slightly, and then said aloud: "Everyone remembers, we must work together in the future to do this business, and we can count on these businesses for the food and salary of tens of thousands of troops." ”

Good guy, if Jiajing heard this, he would probably be so angry that he would spurt blood, and let you go to clean up pirates and pirates, and you actually took the lead in doing forbidden business!
