At the end of April, the weather is getting warmer, and you can wear a single cloth shirt to go out at noon, and in the evening, Wang Junlin stands on the coast, and wears a gown, and the sea breeze blows on his face, blowing refreshingly.

Wang Junlin discussed the future development plan with everyone in the salt field for several days, and originally wanted to return to the county seat, but Xue Li was invited by Zhao Chen to invite him to Rongcheng County to discuss the issue of replenishing the troops and expanding the water division.

Because of Dou Shihai's rebellion a few years ago, except for those who were dug up to Snake Island by Wang Junlin and some of them were killed, now they can be about 15,000 people, and the original establishment is 20,000, and now after the operation of Yuwenshu, the level of the sailor has been raised to one level, and the number of soldiers has also been increased to 30,000.

After Zhao Chen took office in the position of Commander Zhonglang, he found that completing these things was far more complicated than he imagined, and the increase of 10,000 troops involved too many things.

First of all, there is the problem of soldiers, it is necessary to recruit troops from Fanyang County, and without Wang Junlin, the Taishou to speak, Zhao Chen can't recruit alone, but his relationship with Wang Junlin is very stiff.

Secondly, to expand the military camp, this requires locality, and it also needs to coordinate with the local government of Fanyang County, and Wang Junlin is still inseparable.

Third, he needed a warship, but before some sailors defected, a group of traitors fled into the shipyard to which the sailors belonged, and wanted to grab a sum of silver, but the silver was not grabbed, so they kidnapped a group of masters, and no one took it seriously at that time, after all, craftsmen are untouchables in the eyes of these officials and nobles, but when Zhao Chen asked the shipyard for new ships, he found that the shipyard did not have these masters, so he could only build small boats.

He naturally didn't know that these masters and their families had all moved to the salt works and became the technicians of Wang Junlin's important protection, and the shipyard was able to build ships so quickly, on the one hand, because of the technology provided by Nie Xiaoyu, and on the other hand, because of these masters stolen from the Sailor Shipbuilding Workshop.

Finally, there is the problem of silver, the above three things, none of them do not need silver, and it is a large amount of silver, and now the imperial court is also short of silver, the military salary and various expenses of the water division are directly allocated by the household department of the imperial court to the military expenses, even if there is Yuwen Shu to help support it, it is good to be able to send the general's salary on time and according to the amount, how can there be extra silver.

Originally, the 200,000 taels of silver obtained by Dou Shihai's house were just used by the sailor, but Wang Junlin changed hands and handed them over directly to the emperor, and he got a great benefit.

There are also 70,000 or 80,000 acres of fertile land that Dou Shihai has skillfully seized over the years, which is also not a small amount, if these fertile fields are sold, the silver is enough, but before Zhao Chen came, he was "returned to the bitter master" by Wang Junlin, and all these fertile fields were scattered to the poor people of Rongcheng County, and another part became the official land of Rongcheng County.

In short, as the work entered the state, Zhao Chen's face became more and more ugly, and he became more and more depressed, he wanted to make some money with Fanyang County, but he had already stiffened his relationship with Wang Junlin before, and even now he still owes nearly 100,000 taels of silver to the county soldiers!

Only now did Zhao Chen understand that without Wang Junlin's help, he couldn't do anything, let alone complete the instructions that Yuwenshu had given him before he came, and build a powerful army of 30,000 sailors.

Xue Li came forward to invite, Wang Junlin was very face-saving, so he met with Zhao Chen, the latter has long since lost the domineering attitude that he just came to Fanyang County a few days ago, and his posture in front of Wang Junlin was also very low, Wang Junlin listened to Zhao Chen with a smile in the living room of Zhao Chen's new mansion in Rongcheng County for an hour, and finally said: "Lord Zhao, we don't have any silver in Fanyang County!" ”

After finishing speaking, he stood up and left, making Zhao Chen half angry, thinking that this thing came to see me just to be angry!

Returning to the courtyard of the post house where he was temporarily staying, watching the sun set, Wang Junlin paced in the garden of the post house with perfume and others, Chen Danying has been practicing martial arts very diligently recently, and he practiced in the room after dinner.

"Master, you're frowning all day today, what are you thinking?" Perfume tilted her head to gaze into Wang Junlin's eyes, her eyes shining strangely in the sunset.

"Worry about the silver!" Wang Junlin raised his eyebrows and laughed, after listening to what Zhao Chen said just now, he suddenly found that if he didn't open up new sources of wealth as soon as possible, sooner or later he would be short of silver like Zhao Chen.

"It turns out that there are also things that can make Taishou-sama worried......" Suddenly a woman's voice came from the door.

Wang Junlin looked back and saw that it was the salt girl Yang Kongcian coming from the door, and said with a smile: "You came quickly, I still thought that you would be able to come to see me tomorrow." ”

"The adults beckoned, and the slave family naturally came in a hurry." Yang Kong Chan smiled, glanced at the perfume, and said with a smile: "It's only been two months, and the perfume girl is becoming more and more ......dazzling and beautiful."

Wang Junlin found out that there was a female guard behind Yang Kongciao, seeing that she was wearing a red armor, and her delicate face was mostly hidden in the cold metal hood, there was a different kind of heroic posture, but her face was indifferent, except for the empty cicada that followed him just now, she had been indifferent, and stood there motionless.

"Not really! It's the empty cicada sister who is getting more and more charming. Although Perfume knew that Yang Kongcian intended to befriend her, she couldn't help but be happy after listening to Yang Kongciao's words, but she had always liked Yang Kongciao's foxy temperament, so she had always been a little cold to her.

"Really?" Yang Kongcian pretended not to see the coldness of the perfume, and said with a smile: "What's the use of being charming, it's just that it is regarded as making money by adults, and it will not be used to warm the quilt." ”

Yang Kongcian looked at Wang Junlin when he said this explicit sentence, but Wang Junlin looked at the sunset in the west, pretending not to hear, of course he knew that the other party wanted to become his own woman, but no matter how charming and beautiful this woman was, he had no interest in thinking that the other party had been tricked by Lu Wei first, and then by Lu Youwei.

Retracting his gaze from the sunset, Wang Junlin walked to the stone table under a Bodhi tree and sat down, pointed to the stone bench opposite, motioned for Yang Kongcian to sit down, and said meaningfully: "How can the warm quilt be able to last for a long time except for husband and wife, you are smart and wise, you should be able to understand that what I lack at the moment is not a woman who warms the quilt, but a lack of people who can help me solve the problem." ”

"Thank you for your teachings, the slave family understands, and will do their best to do things for adults, and no longer think nonsense......" Yang Kongcian also restrained his aggressive momentum and said softly.
