Chapter 508: Sailor Planning (Second Shift)
"Your Majesty, not only Dengzhou has water divisions, but also Laizhou and Qingzhou have water divisions, and the three water divisions add up to five or six thousand people.
However, the Qingzhou Water Division is only an inland water division, and it is not strong. The Sanzhou Water Division is the most powerful in the Dengzhou Water Division, but they are all under the control of the Wang family. ”
After hearing the saint ask about the water master, Li Sizhou probably guessed the other party's thoughts.
It's just that he doesn't understand why the Holy Lord is so interested in the water master.
The Right Shenwei Army is okay to say, after all, several feudal towns in the lower reaches of Jiangling have powerful naval divisions, if the imperial court does not have a naval division, how can the feudal towns in the Jiangnan region be pacified.
But the sailor of Dengzhou was so far away, he didn't understand why the saint valued it so much.
"Tell Cui Anqian that if he can take the Dengzhou Sailor for the use of the imperial court. In the case of his nephew Cui Yuan, I can no longer pursue it, allow him to participate in the imperial examination, and he can also be knighted. ”
"Obey the order!"
Li Sizhou hurriedly said.
。。。。。。
"Your Majesty, spare the concubine, Your Majesty go to Sister Ying, or you can find Ci'er. It's really not okay to go to Concubine Shu and Meng Cairen, the concubine is really not good, if she can't get out of bed today, the concubine will be teased by the sisters. ”
Early in the morning, I felt Li Ye's anger, but Zhang Yue was scared enough, how long she tossed last night, and now her whole person is like a puddle of mud, where can she withstand Li Ye's continued tossing.
After all, her body is not as good as that of Queen Liu Chenyan and Mi Duoer, who are proficient in riding and archery, and her endurance is naturally poor.
mentioned Concubine Shu and Meng Cairen, Li Ye was a little embarrassed, but he also let go of Zhang Yue, who was pressed under him.
Seeing Li Ye's expression, Zhang Yue couldn't help but glance at the other party, "Your Majesty, do you dare to do it?" It's not once or twice that Your Majesty has gone to Xingqing Palace at night, and the sisters in this harem have long known His Majesty's thoughts.
This Sister Ning is pregnant, and it is not a matter to continue to live in Xingqing Palace, Your Majesty might as well take them to Daming Palace, not to live in Taiji Palace.
It is not appropriate for His Majesty to always run to Xingqing Palace, although His Majesty is the Supreme of the Ninety-Five, but it will also damage His Majesty's image if it is spread outside the palace. ”
"Uh-huh." Li Ye was a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic, "How is Zhang Lin now?" I haven't been out to see him in a while. ”
Zhang Lin is Zhang Yue's younger brother and is 19 years old this year.
Of course, Zhang Lin is already married, and Zhang Lin, as Li Ye's brother-in-law, naturally does not worry about finding a good wife. And Zhang Lin is not only married, but also has given birth to children, and is currently the father of two children.
Thinking about the time I met Zhang Lin back then, the other party was still a child, and now that he has a family, he is also quite emotional.
Seeing that Li Ye mentioned the topic to her own brother, Zhang Yue didn't know that she wanted to divert the topic, but she also knew the measure. It's okay to be coquettish appropriately, but it's not okay to go too far, otherwise Concubine Li will end.
Although Concubine Li has not been beaten into the cold palace at present, it is almost the same. Li Ye went to Concubine Li's place more times a month, and he didn't even come to her Zhaoyi Palace more often.
Zhang Yue will not be stupid to mention Concubine Li, and Li Ye mentioned his own brother, Zhang Yue is more concerned.
"Lin'er, he is now preparing for the imperial examination."
"Entrance examination? Which subject do you want to take? Ming Jing? Ming Fa? Li Ye was serving and dressing Zhang Yue, and at the same time, no one was rubbing oil on Zhang Yue's body in front of the palace maid.
"He wants to enroll in Shiko!" Zhang Yue hesitated.
"Jinshiko? The heart is quite big, and when he fails once or twice, he knows that the Jinshi course is not so easy to pass. Li Ye smiled, not very optimistic about Zhang Lin.
Although he has opened many courses in addition to Jinshike, the gold content of Jinshike is undoubtedly the highest. Every year, the department reports that the most people are admitted to the Jinshi department, but those twenty or thirty people are admitted, haven't you seen that many people are generally in their thirties and forties?
"The concubine can't persuade him, he wants to take the test, so he can only let him take the test. If he didn't pass the exam for a few years, the concubine persuaded him again! ”
Zhang Yue knew that it was impossible for her to want Li Ye to open the back door for Zhang Lin, so she didn't mention it so as not to upset the other party.
"It's good for young people to have ideas." Li Ye smiled.
Even if Zhang Lin can't pass the Jinshi exam for a few years, he can still live, after all, he still has Zhang Yue, the sister who is Zhaoyi in the palace, and Li Ye, the brother-in-law.
And Li Ye also knew that Zhang Yue used her monthly money to buy a store for Zhang Lin in Dongshi.
In the early and middle Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City was not allowed to open shops outside of the East and West Markets, but in the last hundred years, this rule has been in vain.
Especially after Li Ye ordered the curfew system to be relaxed, in addition to the East and West Markets, there are shops in many places in Chang'an City. In the Chengxiang area outside Chang'an City, there are some small markets, but Chang'an County and Wannian County are in charge to ensure order.
Even so, the prosperity of the East and West markets has increased rather than decreased. The relaxation of the curfew has stimulated consumption, and because the East and West markets are concentrated areas, a shop is worth a lot of money.
In addition to the store in Dongshi, Li Ye also found 100 acres of fertile land for Zhang Lin outside the city.
"By the way, Your Majesty, Sister Ci'er didn't come in the past two days, is she pregnant?"
"Really? I didn't hear that girl last time I went to her palace. Zhang Cheng, inform the Imperial Medical Department to send someone to Wang Cairen to diagnose it later. Thinking of the girl who was 'sold' into the palace by her father, Li Ye couldn't help but feel funny.
This Wang Jian was also reluctant, and directly sent his beloved daughter into the palace.
For this cheap old man, Li Ye has always been on guard, who let the other party be the founding emperor of the former Shu in history. Therefore, he has not allowed Wang Jian to serve in Shudi, but transferred to Longyou.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Cheng nodded.
"You know that you care about her, and I will come to your palace as much as possible in the future, so that you can get pregnant as soon as possible." Li Ye lifted the other party's jaw with his hand and quickly pecked him on the mouth.
"Your Majesty is good enough for your concubines, if you come too often, other sisters will complain." Zhang Yue said worriedly.
"Leave them alone."
"Your Majesty, Dali Siqing asks to see you!" Zhang Cheng came to the front and said.
"King Peng? Let him wait in the Yanying Palace, remember to take out the Mengding tribute tea and brew it for King Peng, he loves it. Let him drink tea in the Yeonying Palace, wait first, I will be over right away! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
。。。。。。
Laizhou, the naval division station.
There are three water divisions in Ziqing, the largest is the Dengzhou Water Division, followed by the Laizhou Water Division, and the smallest is the Qingzhou Water Division.
However, the Qingzhou Sailor had already surrendered to Cui Anqian, the envoy of the Ziqing Festival appointed by the imperial court, leaving the Laizhou Sailor and the Dengzhou Sailor.
Although during Wang Jingwu's period, Ziqing's enemies mainly came from the ground, but the water division was not wasted, and the scale of the three water divisions has been maintained, especially the Dengzhou water division and the Laizhou water division.
The reason why Ziqing was able to feed more than 100,000 troops with a town before included tens of thousands of cavalry and 5,000 sailors. Except for the fact that Ziqing has not fought much in recent years, it is mainly foreign trade.
It was mainly sold armor and weapons to the Xi, Khitan and Silla people, that is, by sea. However, the sea is not safe, in addition to forces with sailors like Duli Town, there are also pirates, and without a decent sailor, they will not be able to keep the route at all.
However, with the occupation of Qingzhou by Cui Anqian, this trade route was basically abolished, because armor and weapons were basically produced in Qingzhou's workshops. Now that the Wang family is obviously declining, this side has given Laizhou sailors other ideas.
