Chen Dujing didn't agree for a while, just looked at Chen Zhengbin.

Xu Zixian understood, stood up and said to Chen Zhengbin: "Brother Zhengbin, forgive your sins, this is to dig the corner of Penghu......

"Forget it, forget it." Chen Zhengbin said very cheerfully: "I know Penghu County, and I am not the Marquis of Penghu, not my own industry, why bother so much?" Besides, there are many merchant ships in the north and Zhejiang, and there will still be a lot of people passing through Penghu, and the production of Penghu should not be too affected. It's just that I have something to say first, although Mingda's idea is good, but you still have to set up the Eastern Domain, otherwise after a long time, the merchant ships will still come from Penghu, why take a detour to the Eastern Domain? ”

These words are not only a betrayal of friendship, but also a word in advance.

Chen Jiagan felt Xu Zixian's affection, and the two families cooperated to open up cotton fields, weave cloth and other things, and it was not a big deal to put some trading houses in the Eastern Domain, and it was not impossible for merchant ships to take a detour to trade in the Eastern Domain.

However, if the Eastern Domain could not develop within a year or two, the commercial behavior promoted by this administrative method would inevitably not last, and the Chen family would not persist for long under the complaints of everyone.

Say it first, lest Xu Zi complain first.

"I won't embarrass the Changwen Mansion for too long." Xu Zixian said quite confidently: "In a year or two, the Eastern Domain will change greatly." ”

"I don't know where the roots of Mingda's self-confidence are." Li Mingyu on the side said with a smile: "But I thought Mingda would definitely succeed, so I would like to have a glass first, and I thought it would be congratulatory." ”

Everyone is toasting, Chen Duguang and others are even more happy, this time before the appointment, the Chen family is trapped in the lack of cotton production is not a day or two, with Fujian's top two cloth merchants, has been urging the eyebrows to bend the waist and Jiangnan cotton merchants to deal with, cloth, most of them are changing hands, their own production of the quantity is too small, which can not grasp the bargaining power of the cloth at all, all have to listen to the arrangement of the Jiangnan cloth merchants, in addition to the lack of supply, often can not supply the goods of overseas color merchants, so that many color merchants are dissatisfied, Many merchant ships came to buy cloth gradually did not go to Fujian, and went directly to Jiangnan to buy cloth.

If hundreds of thousands of acres of cotton fields can be opened, the cotton produced in a year is not below Jiangnan, and in terms of spinning technology, Fujian is not weaker than Jiangnan, and even much stronger than Jiangnan for a long time, as long as there is cotton, everything is not a problem.

Manpower, fields, and funds are all sufficient, and the next step is to see the development of cotton fields and the harvest of cotton.

"Without further ado." Chen Duzhong reminded: "I have already found the land over there, and now I want people who burn bricks, hurry up to the vertical kiln to burn bricks, and the other is woodwork, iron work, and a large number of equipment to be transported to the island." It is also necessary to be prepared to build houses, bring in the people, cultivate the fields, and prepare the money for the employment of the islanders. ”

"Uncle Nine wants to send someone to put some examples in advance." Xu Zixian said: "I will also send someone to the island, Zhang Bang proclaimed." ”

"The right way." Chen Duzhong praised: "If you want the islanders to know that they are already from Nan'anhou Mansion, this arrangement will make the resistance even weaker." ”

Originally, everyone had doubts about the development of the Eastern Domain, and whether the people were cooperating, after all, Chen Duzhong was the defense envoy of the Eastern Domain, not a pro-people official, and the people were outside his authority.

The imperial court did not set up pro-people officials in the Eastern Domain, only the defense envoy, the guard envoy, responsible for military defense and daily security, there was no pro-people official, there was no persuasion, the storage of Changping and the transfer of officials, only some officials, hanging the name of the ambassador and the tax envoy, responsible for taxation and other things, if the people of the Eastern Domain want to enter the examination, they need to go to Penghu, there are some changes in the field, the establishment of the land, household registration and other things, but also to Penghu to do, the Eastern Domain itself does not have these officials to do this.

This also shows that the imperial court really didn't pay attention to the Eastern Domain, of course, because the scale was too small, and the level of more than 10,000 people really couldn't even catch up with a town.

After being placed under the rule of the Nan'an Hou Mansion, these officials could already be withdrawn, because there was no civil affairs and no taxes could be collected, and after that, the Eastern Domain was regarded as a manor under the rule of the Nan'an Hou Mansion, not the imperial court.

"The Edom domain is so big, if the law of management is appropriate." Chen Zhengzhi joked: "Mingda and others are kings in the south." ”

Chen Dujing, Chen Duguang, Chen Duguang and others all changed their faces, and Chen Dujing shouted: "Be cautious, be careful of being used to make a fuss, criticize Mingda for having bad intentions!" ”

Chen Zhengzhi was a little aggrieved at first, and then thought about it, there was indeed something wrong with his words, the imperial court allowed Xu Zi to run the Eastern Domain first, and there must be suspicions that Xu Zi had the intention of self-reliance, fortunately, the Eastern Domain was desolate, if he knew that the Changwen Marquis Mansion and the Nan'an Marquis Mansion had a joint covenant, to vigorously develop the Eastern Domain, and change the previous desolate and uninhabited situation, I am afraid that he would immediately regret the plan to seal the 6,000 households in the Eastern Domain.

At that moment, Chen Zhengzhi hugged his fists and said: "It's me who is not cautious, I should fight." ”

Xu Zixian smiled and said: "It doesn't matter much, who can believe that you can run a foundation in the Eastern Domain?" Now Lin Douyao and them, I'm afraid that they will treat this matter as a joke. ”

"Lin Douyao is not so shallow." Chen Dujing shook his head and said: "There will definitely be people who tell jokes, but it won't be Lin Douyao." Speaking of which, when does Mingda plan to go to Qizhou to take office? Lu Wenxian sent someone to me to pay his respects, saying that Mingda had any distribution, and he cooperated with everything and would not hinder him. ”

"When my father was in Qizhou, Lord Lu was the same as Qizhou." Xu Zixian said with a smile: "My father-in-law was Zhiqizhou at the time, Lord Lu knew the same thing, and Xianjun was a defense envoy, I was still young at the time, and I didn't know that Lord Lu was an official, how was he a person?" ”

"I have no rebellion with your father." Chen Dujing said slowly: "It's very common to have a good relationship with someone Lu, and it's not easy to judge at will. ”

Xu Zixian smiled when he heard this, and said, "I understand my father-in-law's words. ”

……

In the palace of King Zhao, the atmosphere was very tense, the air was full of depressive feelings, and the palace eunuchs were cautious when they walked around, and they did not dare to make any mistakes...... In the past few days, several eunuchs have been scolded with rods, and two of them have been directly beaten to death and reported to death.

The princes of the Great Wei do not need eunuchs, and the prince is also available or not, many of them are in the prince's house in Jiangling and the same as the scholars, there are servants and women and maids, no internal servants, some of the more than 100 internal servants in the Zhao Wangfu are castrated by themselves, and some are given by the Beijing master, but they are the only one in the world.

King Zhao was in a bad mood, mainly because the news of Jingshi came back.

"Your Royal Highness doesn't have to worry too much......" Strategist Li Gu sat opposite King Zhao and said eloquently: "The imperial court actually has no trust in Xu Zixian, but it puts the stakes on the side of Han Xianggong, and the two governments want to be rewarded, if the Son of Heaven is bent on suppressing it, it is easy to give the truth to those chaotic ministers and thieves, and the official family is also forced to ......"

After the news of Jingshi came back, King Zhao couldn't hide behind the scenes, so he directly sent someone to send an urgent letter to Jingshi, and asked Xu Ziwei to submit it to the palace.

In the letter, he frankly admitted that he was worried about Xu Zixian's ability, as well as the disputes and conflicts between the two sides, and asked the Son of Heaven to keep Xu Zixian in Beijing and give him an idle position, which is tantamount to watching him and taking him into custody, and it seems that he will be rewarded for his merits, even at the expense of the dukedom of the country, but he cannot be given room to return to Fuzhou for development.

As a result, of course the Son of Heaven did not allow it, the title is precious, in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, wouldn't it be like a tiger to add a title to Xu Zixian?

Moreover, if he is not allowed to return to Fuzhou, does it confirm the rumors that the prince is expected to be the prince?

Xu Zixian is such a character, staying in Jingshi, the Son of Heaven is afraid that he will not be able to sleep well, Fuzhou is thousands of miles away, no matter how much he can toss, how can he threaten Jingshi?

For his biological father, King Zhao, the Son of Heaven has always respected and relied on him, but King Zhao's suggestion, the Son of Heaven thought it was too ridiculous, and directly refuted it, and did not allow King Zhao to make any further suggestions on this matter.

Xu Ziwei is also disgraced, and there is no room for speech at all.

No wonder the Son of Heaven was furious, Xu Ziwei took the eldest son of Zhao Wangyan, the younger brother of the Son of Heaven, and the order of the Gate, and led Lang Wei out of the palace with the White Tiger Banner, but he got nothing, and he came out with great fanfare, and returned with the banner, and even took the Son of Heaven Lang Wei was questioned, and it became a joke of the Beijing Division. After this incident, the Son of Heaven had to worship the fourth lieutenant one day, and he also felt that Lang Wei had a false appearance, and I was afraid that when something really happened, he still had to count on the Beijing camp to ban the army.

Lang Wei has such a heavy setback, Xu Ziwei can't escape the responsibility, if it weren't for his special identity, the Son of Heaven would not even allow him to take office, I am afraid that he can directly return to Fuzhou.

After this setback, King Zhao was already in a bad mood, and when Xu Zi came back from the Beijing Division, he added the number of official Zhuang Shi to seal the households, and let Ma Zheng take charge of it, and he knew Qizhou, the defense envoy, and the Zhizhai were all in hand, as if he was already an important military attache on Fujian Road, and his status was much higher than that of Xu Yingbin back then, and the anger in King Zhao's heart grew like wildfire, and it could not be extinguished.

For Li Gu, a strategist, King Zhao was still a little polite, and he couldn't hide himself at this time, and his majestic and resolute face was not lacking in distress in addition to anger.

King Zhao said: "This son is powerful, he joined forces with Chen Dujing, and King Qi vigorously supported him behind him, it is difficult to control, it is difficult to control." ”

Li Gu looked left and right, only a few guards stood far away outside the flower window, and he said in a deep voice: "The way to break the game, one is to draw salary at the bottom of the kettle, and the other is to kill the other." ”

King Zhao's heart jumped, and he looked at Li Gu, this middle-aged strategist had a serious face, obviously saying after careful consideration.

"Draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle?" King Zhao said with a straight face: "You mean that?" ”

"Yes, he has suppressed His Highness for too long, don't say that there is such a variable as Xu Zixian, even if there is none, does His Highness really want to wait for him to die of old age?"

King Zhao's face changed greatly, and he was about to reprimand, but in his heart, he couldn't help but calculate the pros and cons, and even the more he calculated, the more he felt that Li Gu's words were very reasonable!

Why didn't I think about it sooner?

"Your Highness was concerned about the friendship of relatives before, and couldn't bear to do this, and now in this situation, if you let them toss it again, will anyone listen to Your Highness's words in Fuzhou and Fujian Road? The Chen family and the Dadu Governor's Mansion, the Criminal Division, were all pulled by Xu Zixian, and most of the local military states were on Xu Zixian's side, some of them had soldiers, official positions, money and food, compared to His Royal Highness, the deputy governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, the power was even greater, and in a few years, there was no one around His Highness, and no one listened to him, in the words of Wuhou, it was time for this Cheng to survive in danger......"
