Chapter 42: The Land of Exile

Yang Zheng's heart was pounding, and he was a little grateful to the people who leaked the secrets, without their assistance, with his qualifications, Zhao Zhen would be able to look at him differently if he was a deputy.

"Wechen will do his best..."Yang Zheng replied with a bow.

"The original plan was to build a new base in Dengzhou, what do you think now?" Zhao Zhen was noncommittal and asked in harmony.

"Yingzhou", Yang Zheng thought for a while, and calmly said two words, the news had leaked out, and Dengzhou didn't know how many Khitan spies were staring at, so he could only change places.

"Yingzhou?"

Zhao Zhen asked suspiciously.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that he can build a field in Yingzhou to trade with the Khitan tribes in the north to cover up people's eyes and ears, prepare materials, and find a suitable place in the coastal area south of the Yellow River to build a port in the name of overseas trade, and prepare secretly!"

Yang Zheng added.

"Well, what do you need for Qinghe?"

Zhao Zhen nodded, agreeing with his idea, and asked out loud.

That's all about giving power! And it's the right under the table.

Yang Zheng stabilized his mind for a while, and said slowly, "The army, Weichen needs the establishment and equipment of five thousand people!" ”

This is the most important right, whether it is to guard the base in peacetime or go to sea in the future, the army is an indispensable thing, and it is an army with strong combat effectiveness, the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty has a certain combat effectiveness in addition to the northwest border army, and the forbidden army near Tokyo has been peaceful for decades, and how much combat effectiveness there is still unknown, and the local box army is even more unbearable.

"Three thousand, since it is to prepare for going to sea, let's call it the navy......" Zhao Zhen directly cut down two thousand, and the scale of five thousand people was already beyond his bottom line.

"Thank you for the emperor's name, since it is called the navy, it is better to call it the royal navy directly, what does Your Majesty think?" He was already satisfied with being cut off by Zhao Zhen lightly, his original plan was to have a thousand people already go to heaven, Zhao Zhen was generous, and he didn't mind making a little sycophant.

"Very good..."

This little sycophant made Zhao Zhen very happy and said with satisfaction.

The most important and most sensitive military power is to be obtained, and the next conversation is much easier, and Yang Zheng needs to find a way to pay the military salary, since he is acting in secret, the Royal Navy, which has not yet been established, naturally cannot appear in the establishment of the Privy Council, but Zhao Zhen's private army, but Zhao Zhen's internal affairs treasury is not abundant, at best, he can give him tens of thousands of taels of silver.

To pull up an army of 3,000 people from scratch, tens of thousands of taels of silver can't even make a splash, and the reason why Zhao Zhen is so generous to give him 3,000 people also has the meaning of compensation.

Yang Zheng is not worried about the problem of money, with policies, a business name and Zhao Zhen's endorsement, if he makes money difficult again, he still marries the princess with peace of mind, and it is better to eat and wait for death.

This conversation was talked about until dusk, and Princess Fukang had appeared in their field of vision several times, and seeing that they had no intention of stopping, she obediently went back again.

"Alright, let's do it, the appointment will be given to you in a few days, and you're ready to go..."

Zhao Zhen patted Yang Zheng's shoulder and said solemnly.

Under the congratulations of Yang Zheng and Fukang, Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao left Lijing Palace in the palace maid and eunuch's guard, and Princess Fukang had already asked people to prepare dinner and pulled Yang Zheng to sit in her bedroom to eat.

"Brother Yang Zheng, why did my father talk to you for so long," sandwiching a piece of venison into the bowl in front of Yang Zheng, Fukang asked unhappily, originally thought that he could stay with Yang Zheng for a whole day, but he didn't expect to be occupied by Zhao Zhen for most of the day.

"Naturally, we're talking about business, I'm going to go out of Beijing in a while!"

Yang Zheng said happily.

"How good it is to be an official in the capital, no, I want to beg my father and ask him to leave you in the capital as an official..."

She is thirteen years old, and she will be in time for two years, Empress Cao and her mother Miao Guifei have been slowly teaching her some things about her daughter's family, and she really realizes what Yang Zheng's colt means to her, Zhao Zhen does not allow her to run out to find Yang Zheng again, and she will be so happy to see Yang Zheng today, hearing that Yang Zheng is going out to be an official, it means that she will not see Yang Zheng for a long time, so it is strange not to be excited.

"Your Highness..."

Yang Zheng quickly reassured the dishes and chopsticks, grabbed Princess Fukang, and said with a wry smile, Princess Fukang is still a child, since Zhao Zhen has made a decision, how can he easily change it because of Princess Fukang, and this is what Yang Zheng wants.

"Your Highness, I have something important to do when I go out of Beijing, and it's not that the official family wants to send me out..."

Princess Fukang is not a willful person, after being pulled by Yang Zheng, she also slowly calmed down, returned to her seat, her little face was a little complaining, and said softly to Yang Zheng, "Brother Yang Zheng doesn't like me?" ”

Yang Zheng looked at Princess Fukang with tears and laughter, not knowing what to say, her childish little face with a complaining expression, indescribably weird.

"His Royal Highness is still young..."Seeing that Fukang was still looking at him directly, Yang Zheng said helplessly.

He already has Cao Min, and even has inexplicable thoughts about Ruyi, but he doesn't have the slightest idea of between men and women about Princess Fukang.

"I knew that you liked Sister Jianrou like that," Princess Fukang said sadly.

The little palace maid who was standing and waiting on the side heard Princess Fukang's words, and the teapot in her hand was almost thrown away in fright, and she looked at Yang Zheng incredulously, and then at Jian Rou beside her.

"Your Highness, what do you say..."

Jian Rou didn't expect Fukang to say such a thing, her face was red with shame, and she whispered to Princess Fukang.

"I'll grow up..."Princess Fukang suddenly thought of something again, and said angrily, as if everything had happened, she kept serving vegetables to Yang Zheng.

I have to say that the level of the imperial chef is not ordinary, and the ingredients are also top-notch, Yang Zheng almost finished a table of dishes by himself, and after eating, he accompanied Princess Fukang to visit the Lijing Palace at night.

Mother Li's face became more and more ugly, and seeing that the time was getting later and later, it was really not suitable for him to stay in Lijing Palace, so he left Lijing Palace under the reluctant gaze of Princess Fukang.

Back in Xiyuan, Ruyi still didn't rest, Yang Zheng also happened to have something to tell her and Huyanshan, and came to the small courtyard where Huyanshan lived with a puzzled Ruyi.

"Young Master Yang, junior sister, why are you here?"

Hu Yanshan watched the two come in, moved a stool for Yang Zheng, and asked strangely.

"Huyanshan, I have something to tell you..."

Yang Zheng stopped Hu Yanshan, who was going to boil water to make tea, and said solemnly

"Your Majesty is going to send me to Yingzhou to do things, I will leave the capital in a few days, I am not in the capital, there is no news from Uncle Guo at the moment, I am not in the capital, you must be careful when you go out, the Li family does not dare to kill the door, they are difficult to guarantee that they will not make a move when you go out."

"Yingzhou, aren't you the champion, childe? How could he be sent to such a place of exile? ”。

Ruyi asked strangely.

"It's my own request, you'll know later," Yang Zheng said calmly, Yingzhou is located at the junction of the Khitan and the Great Song Dynasty, although the two countries have not made any big moves for decades, but the friction on the border has not stopped, this place is rampant with banditry, people's livelihood is difficult, it has always been a good place to degrade officials, and it is no wonder that Ruyi feels that this is a place of exile.
