Chapter 1527: The Situation in the South China Sea

The Yamen of the Ministry of War.

In the room, Fang Jun and Su Dingfang sat on the ground, with the fragrance of tea curling on the low table in front of them, and a few ordinary pastries.

Fang Jun stretched out his hand and poured half a cup of tea for Su Dingfang, and asked with a smile: "Have you ever gone smoothly along the way?" ”

Su Dingfang sat on the ground, bowed slightly and thanked him, and said, "Erlang rest assured, the reason why the last general personally escorted the rice to Chang'an this time is because he is worried that other people will make mistakes and bring trouble to Erlang......"

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes, looked at Fang Jun, and whispered, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life." ”

Fang Jun's eyes narrowed slightly, raised his hand, and said with a smile: "There is no need to mention this matter again, Brother Dingfang is doing things, where are you still worried?" Come on, try this tea, this is this year's pre-Ming tea, in addition to the supply of the palace and human contacts, there are only a dozen catties left here, and they are usually reluctant to drink, they are all hidden in the ice cellar. ”

Fresh tea leaves should be kept fresh in the ice cellar, which is already a common sense that the nobles of the Tang Dynasty are familiar with.

Su Dingfang was slightly stunned, and said strangely: "Won't it?" Tea trees are now planted all over Longhong Spring, even if it is tea in the Ming Dynasty, the yield will not be so small, right? Keep the appointment of tea, not long ago I bought a few catties at a high price and hid it and no one will drink it, the south of the Yangtze River is humid and hot, and a large number of saltpeters are specially prepared to make ice storage tea......"

Keeping the promise is Pei Xingjian's word.

Compared with rough people such as Su Dingfang and Xue Rengui, Pei Xingjian, who was born in the Pei family in Hedong, is a child of a serious family, and his ordinary diet, housing and transportation are extremely luxurious, and he is not very exquisite...... As Su Dingfang said, the south of the Yangtze River is hot and humid, fresh tea is difficult to preserve, and it does not freeze in winter, and it is impossible to dig a cellar to store ice, so you can only use saltpeter to make ice and store tea......

Fang Jun laughed when he heard this: "Brother Dingfang doesn't know, the so-called Ming Qian tea on the market is just a top-grade pre-rain tea, although it is a top-grade tea, but in terms of quality, the difference is still not small." It's just a normal business method, and it's aimed at those laypeople who have money and no land to spend and pay attention to pomp and circumstance. ”

Su Dingfang couldn't cry or laugh: "And the Mingqian tea, which is regarded as a treasure by keeping the covenant, is it just the tea before the rain?" It's a shame that every time he entertains me, I cherish every bud and leaf, and I am reluctant to put more, if he knows, wouldn't he be angry? ”

Fang Jun said with a smile: "Pei Shouyu is elegant, who will complain?" ”

Su Dingfang Wan'er, thinking that when he returned to Huating Town, he would tell Pei Xingjian about it, I don't know how embarrassed the kid who usually looks like a child of a family will be?

The two drank tea and talked and laughed softly, and Su Dingfang reported some information about the water master.

"Jiangnan Shipyard now has more than 30 senior craftsmen, all of whom are shipbuilding experts in shipyards all over the world, not only the speed of shipbuilding has been greatly improved, but the quality has also increased a lot. Erlang instructed us to record the data of the warship every time we went to sea, and we did not dare to slack off, and recorded these data every time, and then handed them over to those shipwrights. ”

Fang Jun nodded in satisfaction.

After all, he is not an expert in shipbuilding, and the drawings of sea ships drawn with the memory of his previous life are inevitably inappropriate, and there is no way to do this, so he can only find out the unreasonable places through navigation and naval battles after building the ship, and gradually improve it.

Thinking of this, he called a close confidant into the house and told him to rush back to the house and bring a drawing and a book from the drawer of his study.

The general took the order to leave, and Fang Jun asked, "What is the situation on the other side of Lin Yiguo?" ”

Su Dingfang said: "It's generally stable, but Fan Fanzhi, Fan Zhenlong, father and son, have a lot of complaints about the increasing number of Han businessmen......

At the beginning, when the Zhenla national soldiers came to the city, Fan Zhenlong was forced to sign the "Alliance under the City" with Fang Jun, selling Da Nang to the Tang Dynasty, becoming the permanent territory of the Tang Dynasty, and stationing the army of the Naval Division.

At the beginning, Fan's father and son also wanted to regret it, after all, allowing the invincible army of the Tang Dynasty to be stationed on the side of the national capital Singha Buluo City would be a big trouble sooner or later! However, Fang Jun's attitude was extremely tough at that time, and he had the intention of starting a war immediately if he didn't agree with his words, and Fan's father and son were forced by the military might of the Tang Dynasty to agree.

Although they are reluctant, in the eyes of Fan's father and son, even if the Tang Dynasty is stationed in Da Nang, as long as Lin Yi Guo honestly worships the Tang Dynasty as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and pays tribute every New Year's holiday, then the Tang Dynasty has no reason to be ruthless to Lin Yi State.

After all, what Datang cares about is the rice of Linyi Kingdom, and even if he is interested in the vast territory of Linyi Kingdom, he can't hold it if he occupies it, so why bother? As long as Lin Yi State continues to supply Datang's high-quality rice, the relationship between the two countries can be maintained for a long time, not to mention that Lin Yi State also needs the help of Datang to deter the surrounding Zhenla and other countries.

However, within a few days, the Fan father and son couldn't sit still......

They made thousands of calculations, but they didn't calculate that the Han people built so fast and had such a large population!

The construction of Da Nang made all the people of Linyi dumbfounded, the original desolate and withered harbor, in the naked eye visible to the naked eye of the situation is changing with each passing day, the Han people will all the places near the harbor where clay is produced are built brick kilns to fire green bricks, and then use warships to transport a boatload of a kind of mixed sand can quickly solidify the rock-solid thing, so that the green bricks are cast on the seaside, in just half a year, a huge seaport is basically formed.

Then, countless merchant ships flocked to the city under the guidance of the sailors!

The vicinity of Singha Bura City is the richest, most prosperous, and most populous area of the Linyi country, with a thriving commercial scene. Many of the local merchants are descendants of the Han people, and they are related to the Han people by blood, so when the merchants of the Tang Dynasty brought silk, glass and other commodities one by one, they quickly reached cooperation with the local merchants.

Han Chinese merchants brought glass, porcelain, silk and other goods, sold them at a sky-high price in Linyi, and then took away the rice, precious wood, and ...... produced in Linyi by boat. Copper and gold!

The Fan royal family is sitting on pins and needles!

At this rate, in a few years, all the wealth of Linyi will be concentrated in the hands of the Han people, and the local natives will be reduced to the lowest laborers.

Linyi has long become the world of the Han people!

However, the most feared person by the Fan royal family is the "extraterritoriality" that seems to be no big problem!

It is precisely because of this "extraterritoriality" that the Tang Dynasty merchants can be said to walk sideways in the territory of Linyi State. And who can come to Linyi to fight for wealth and nobility from thousands of miles away, who is a humble gentleman? To put it bluntly, it's just a group of outlaws who fight for wealth and prosperity with their lives!

Most of these people are lawless, it is common for them to be traitors, and they are unscrupulous and unscrupulous wherever they go, but the laws of Lin Yiguo are helpless, even if the Tang people kill someone, they can only be punished by the Tang people themselves, Lin Yiguo has no right to intervene, at most the criminals will be arrested and handed over to the Tang army.

However, Liu Renliang, the highest officer of the Tang Navy Division stationed in Da Nang, was quite conniving at such traitors, and if the Han people fought with each other, the officer of the Navy Division would be punished very severely, and his head would be cut off if it was slightly serious, in order to set an example, but for the Tang people to bully the people of Linyi...... Then it should not exist at all, and it is too lazy to pay attention to it.

In this way, it has become more and more reckless and unscrupulous in the Tang Dynasty!

The Fan family and his son were so angry that they gritted their teeth every day, and they couldn't wait to kill all the Tang people to vent their anger!

However, the dozens of Tang warships and thousands of tigers stationed in Da Nang made the Fan father and son jealous and did not dare to act rashly. Especially the kind of iron bump in Tang Jun's hand that if he threw black smoke into the enemy's formation, it would cause the heavenly thunder to descend into the world, which made the Fan father and son dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool......

Fang Jun listened to Su Dingfang's narration, sighed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Send a letter to Liu Renliang, let him restrict the behavior of Han businessmen more, if he is too unscrupulous, it is very easy to cause ethnic antagonism, which will hinder our major affairs too much...... Forget it, he must have told him that he didn't understand, and when the Sailor Academy was established, all the sailor generals came back to study and learn how to colonize overseas...... In addition, tell Liu Renliang that you should beware of the Fan father and son jumping over the wall in a hurry, and if necessary, you can strike first, and you must not let the Han people in Linyi be hurt in the slightest! ”

Su Dingfang's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Oh! ”

At this moment, the family who had just returned to the house to pick up the books would return, put a thick stack of drawings and a book in front of Fang Jun, and then bowed and retreated.
