"Leader Wang, if you have any requirements, you can put them forward first, as long as it is within Cai's ability, you will definitely not refuse." Cai Jing said generously.

"Okay, Taishi Cai is really refreshing, then a lion will open his mouth!" At this time, the dynasty will naturally not be polite, and should try to strive for as many benefits as possible.

"First, after returning to the imperial court, the army will remain 100,000 and will still be led by me, and the prison army will not interfere!

Second, the personnel arrangements and logistical support of the army are all arranged by me, and the imperial court must not interfere!

Third, the army's annual ration must not be less than 20 million yuan!

Fourth, I want the official positions of five commanders and two captains!

Fifth, I want the official position of the envoy of the two Zhejiang Road and Jiangnan East Road, and I will not be transferred! ”

"It can't be!" Cai Jing said angrily with a dark face.

Such conditions are almost the same as those of a divided feudal town!

"If there are any different opinions, we can talk slowly." Wang Dynasty said jokingly.

Naturally, it is impossible to negotiate this kind of thing all at once, and under the back and forth tug-of-war, I am embarrassed to say that I am clever for more than a month! Zhang Yang, who learned all the details of the negotiations, also agreed to make a slight concession, after all, the essence of negotiations is mutual compromise.

After a long period of bickering, the negotiations finally reached a satisfactory outcome for both sides. After Zhao Ji's holy decree stamped with the big seal was transmitted to the front line, the official Zhao'an Dynasty was officially recruited as the envoy of the Liangzhejiang Road Festival!

Although it has almost become a historical term in the Song Dynasty, this festival envoy of the dynasty is genuine! exchanged Jiangnan East Road for his military and political power on Liangzhejiang Road!

At the same time, the size of the army was also reduced to 40,000 people, and the annual salary was also reduced to 8 million dollars! It is obviously difficult to feed an army of 40,000 with such a small amount of money, but it is still very simple for a dynasty that is single-handedly controlled by the military and government to get some money to support an army of 40,000.

Pang Wanchun, a subordinate of the dynasty, was awarded the rank of captain, and all five protectors were awarded the command envoy! As a condition, the army's army must participate in this Northern Expedition!

The Northern Expedition was planned by Zhang Yang a long time ago, and there was naturally no problem in agreeing to it. However, in line with the policy of earning a little if you can make a little, you still made the Great Song Dynasty pay a fee of five million yuan.

And the 'Shenlei' that impressed the imperial army was also in this transaction, and Zhao Ji exchanged all the technical information for two years of taxes from the two Zhejiang roads.

Zhang Yang is not worried about this at all, in this era when there are no three acids and two alkalis, if you want to rely entirely on manual technology to produce nitrocellulose explosives on a large scale, the cost can be high and frighten to death!

Even if Zhang Yang handed over the production technology of sulfuric acid and nitric acid to the imperial court, it was still extremely difficult to prepare nitric acid that met the requirements under the current conditions of the Great Song Dynasty.

The concentration of nitric acid cannot be increased, and even the power of nitrocellulose explosives that are barely produced is limited! What's more, by that time, Zhang Yang was on nitroglycerin.

The war, which lasted nearly a year, finally ended, and Tong Guan's army returned to Korea. And Zhang Yang was appointed as the governor of Chuzhou Quanzhi Huaiyang Army because of his meritorious contribution to artillery technology (casting artillery), and at the suggestion of Tong Guan!

Zhang Yang's official position soared like a rocket, and after taking office, Zhang Yang did not accept the congratulations of the local squire, but went to Haizhou to inspect the port and shipyard.

Shopkeeper Li is a shrewd person, he understood after he was unjustly imprisoned and rescued by Zhang Yang last time that Zhang Yang is definitely a person with a big background! The subsequent Zhang Yang was first neutralized, and then destroyed Song Jiang Renzhi County. The bench of this magistrate has not yet been hot, and he has been promoted to the governor!

Shopkeeper Li has secretly congratulated himself countless times that he didn't make a fool of himself because he was greedy for cheapness, otherwise where would there be the current scenery! In this Haizhou City, the one who saw himself had no choice but to laugh and say Li Yuanwai? It was the magistrate of the counties in Haizhou, and he was polite when he met.

Shopkeeper Li didn't know that the reason why the county was polite to him was because there were rumors that Zhang Yang had an extraordinary relationship with Tong Guan! The so-called people in the DPRK are good officials, otherwise a small person will be almost the end of the county, how can he be appointed as the governor of Chuzhou and the Huaiyang Army?

Zhang Yang naturally can't make a big splash when he comes to Haizhou, and now there are many people staring at him! If it's not good, someone should impeach him for leaving his post without permission.

Zhang Yang was overjoyed by the construction of the port, and after a year of construction, the port can basically be completed, leaving only some finishing touches and will soon be put into use. What made him even happier was that the first 400-material (200-ton) fortune ship had been built!

This is a very typical Ming Dynasty Fu ship, with a length of 27.8 meters, a width of 6.5 meters, a draft of 2.36 meters, and a length-to-width ratio of 4.277.

Since ancient times, speed and load are incompatible, and a large aspect ratio means that the cargo compartment volume is small, but fortunately, Zhang Yang built this ship not to pull goods, but mainly to harm small Japan.

At present, limited by the number of skilled workers in the shipyard, the shipyard is not large, with only two slipways, and another lucky ship will take another month to complete.

"All shipbuilders, whether masters or apprentices, are rewarded consistently! Shopkeeper Li, you immediately arrange sea trials, from now on, except for the supply that must be docked, all the seafarers will eat and live on the ship, and I will go to sea in February next year at the latest! ”

"Don't worry, I'll arrange it." Shopkeeper Li is colorful.

"Well, I'm relieved that you're doing things. You have made great contributions to the construction of this port and shipyard, let your eldest son do things with me. Zhang Yang glanced at the young man behind the shopkeeper Li and said.

Shopkeeper Li's excited eyes instantly turned red, and he choked up with tears: "Xie Dongjia, Xie Dongjia." After speaking, he pulled the young man behind him in front of him and reprimanded: "Quickly kowtow to the owner!" ”

The young man didn't dare to disobey the shopkeeper Li, and obediently knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Yang.

"Lao Li, what are you doing here, our relationship is still like this..."

"It should..."

Zhang Yang takes Shopkeeper Li's son with him, then his future will have a huge guarantee! The son of the shopkeeper Li is called Li Fugui, a very traditional name.

After inspecting the shipyard and port, Zhang Yang built a factory in Chuzhou, because the Grand Canal is nearby, so it can greatly reduce the freight! At the same time, an inland shipyard was quietly built.

And the dynasty of Liangzhelu also began a vigorous construction, because the imperial court did not collect taxes in the next two years, so the dynasty had to complete the construction of the factory before the Northern Expedition, and at the same time start production.

"Zhang Long, issue a conscription order, the army must be expanded to 20,000 within a month!"

"Yes, sir."

According to historical development, Song Huizong's first Northern Expedition would begin in April of the fourth year of Xuanhe, and Zhang Yang had to complete the expansion and training within four months.

In the midst of tension and busyness, the three years of Xuanhe have also come to an end...
