Yang Congyi remembered this incident, when he was at sea, he was sure that he heard Tang Xun say that they had ten ships, but he didn't mention it again, and the two of them were unhappy, so they forgot about this time.

After returning to the Great Song Dynasty, although he did not personally participate in the sales of overseas goods, he also knew from the rumors that a shipload was worth a lot of money, and the ten ships of goods that Tang Xun brought privately were definitely an unimaginable amount of money.

"Okay, then it's decided, if you can't borrow money, use your money to advance first."

As for how much money he has, Yang Congyi didn't ask much, his expenses are not big, his family is relatively frugal, and the population is not large, just Yulu is enough, he doesn't need more money.

"It's not mine, it's ours, half of you!"

Tang Xun corrected, she also had no intention of swallowing this money alone, after all, this is a huge amount of money from the wrong way, although the imperial court did not pursue it back then, but she was sent to the southern miasma, and ordered her to build a port in Wanning for the mooring of the Hui Yi fleet, but let her suffer there for four years, if it wasn't for the problem of Hui Yi this time, she would have to continue to stay there, it can be regarded as a lesson for her.

"It's all the same, you still have the money, and you are fully responsible for the purchase of goods, as long as the accounts are clear. Then let's divide the labor like this for the time being, you still stay in Lin'an and return to Yi, ready to purchase goods, I will first personally go to Mingzhou and Quanzhou, build the sea ships and warships, and start training the guards and recruiting people after the year. ”

"Need to be in such a hurry?" Tang Xun listened to Yang Congyi's meaning, he seemed to be about to set off immediately, and couldn't help frowning.

"It's only been a few days since the beginning of the year, and shipbuilding has always been slow, so it's better to prepare in advance and give them more time."

"What time will you go?"

"Tomorrow, the sooner the better."

"I haven't seen each other for so many years, and I still want to spend the New Year together in Lin'an, it seems impossible again."

"We are still so young, we have a long way to go, and there will be opportunities in the future."

After a period of silence, Yang Congyi said again: "Let's have a meal together in the evening, I haven't chatted together for a long time." ”

Tang Xun nodded, without words.

On the fifteenth day of the twenty-fourth lunar month of Shaoxing, there was a fine snow foam floating in the sky, and Tang Xun sent Yang Congyi to the south of Lin'an City, by the Qiantang River.

There weren't many words between the two.

"Go early and come back early." Tang Xun whispered.

Yang Congyi smiled slightly, raised his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, turned around and got on the ferry that was about to leave the shore.

watched the other party leave, and it was not until the ferry disappeared into the misty river that Tang Xun turned to leave.

In the future, such farewells may continue to appear, Yang Congyi has never been a happy and stable person in his heart, and since he entered martial arts, it seems that nothing has changed, and she is just the opposite.

After living in Lin'an for a few years, and leaving for many years, now I still feel strange and lonely when I return to Lin'an, the bustle and hustle and bustle outside the city have nothing to do with Tang Xun, because in the whole Lin'an City, there is no one she can put into her heart at this time, and here, she has no family, this kind of life is actually not much different from in the desolate Qiongzhou, the only difference is that there are many people in Lin'an.

Tang Xun quickly moved from the inn where she was temporarily staying to Huiyi, and it took two days to clean up the house in the backyard of Huiyi, and arrange it according to her wishes, and finally had a little home.

There was no one available at the Hui Yi office, and she thought of her father who had not been in contact for a long time at the first time, and after a few deliberations, she wrote a letter to her family and sent someone to send her back to Jianpu day and night.

In the next nearly half a month, she went to many surrounding states and counties in a row to inquire and record the purchase and sale price of various goods, after all, she has been away from Lin'an for many years, and she is not clear whether the price has changed.

After finding out the approximate price of the goods that the Hui Yi Office intends to procure, it begins to draw up the purchase unit price and expected purchase quantity of each goods, and then begins to draft various notices and procurement contracts from memory to make some preparations in advance.

As for the specific procurement, Tang Xun is not worried, as long as the Tang family can send her some available people, with the capital allocated by the imperial court and the money in her hand, it should not be a problem to purchase a hundred ships.

When Tang Xun was preparing in Lin'an, Yang Congyi hurried to Mingzhou and negotiated an order with Mingzhou Shipyard for 50 ships of 4,000 materials, the price was the same as a few years ago, but this time it was a new ship, and the delivery time was set before September 15.

Then he sailed south and returned to Quanzhou before Chinese New Year's Eve.

Yang Congyi went to the shipyard first, but at this time, the shipyard was long gone, almost everyone had already gone home for the New Year, and the shipbuilding could only be postponed for a few days.

Regarding the husband's sudden return to Quanzhou, Qingchen had to ask, because the child was about to be born, and they didn't want to toss.

When he learned that his husband was ordered to supervise the return to Yi again, Qingchen was speechless for a long time, once he supervised the return to Yi, it also meant that he had to go to sea, and if he was lucky, he would be able to come back in two years, and if he was unlucky, he didn't know how long it would be delayed, or even never come back.

Regarding the matter of returning to Yi, Qingchen didn't ask much, and Yang Congyi didn't say much, the separation of the two places was doomed, he had no fixed place, and it was impossible for them to follow around.

accompanied Qingchen and Lian'er to spend a fairly warm Spring Festival, and the time came to Shaoxing for twenty-five years.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, some craftsmen appeared in the shipyard, and Yang Congyi, who always paid attention to the shipyard, after learning some specific conditions from the specific manager of the shipyard, called the officials in charge of the shipyard to place a large shipbuilding order, 60 ships of 4,000 materials, 15 warships of 4,000 materials, 5 vehicles and ships of 2,000 materials, and one 'Shenzhou'.

Because the price was right, not only did not reduce the price, but each ship gave some more money, this huge order made the officials in charge of the shipyard smile from ear to ear, and repeatedly assured that the completion on schedule would definitely not delay the imperial court's return to the important event.

Yang Congyi is not the first time to come to the Quanzhou shipyard, he has seen many stewards and craftsmen, and he still has some impressions, after convening the shipyard steward and the main craftsmen to discuss and determine some shipbuilding requirements and details, he directly paid forty percent of the money as a deposit for the shipyard to purchase shipbuilding materials as soon as possible, expand the scale, and recruit manpower.

After the shipbuilding was decided, he originally wanted to return to Lin'an to see if the Jingwu army was transferred back to Yi, whether the imperial court had agreed, and whether it was possible to start training, but then he thought about the training venue.

Although the Jingwu Army was formed with the four commanders of the Xuanwei Army as the team, they had not trained at sea for many years, and if they wanted to escort the fleet to sea, they had to train at sea for at least half a year, so they had to pull the Jingwu Army back to the sea from Yiwu.

The island is the best place to train the Huiyi Guards, but Mingzhou Changguo is still the garrison of the Xuanwei Army, although their vitality has been greatly damaged, but as long as they are not revoked, it is impossible for the Jingwu Army to fight for territory with them.

After this most suitable place was eliminated by Yang Congyi himself, there were not many options left, and after eliminating them one by one, Liuqiu opposite Quanzhou became his favorite target.

The distance between Liuqiu and Quanzhou is not far, the materials are convenient to be transported back and forth, and it is isolated from the big towns, so there is a lot less temptation, and it is suitable as a training and garrison place for the escort army.

Where the general army is stationed and where to train, it is up to the Privy Council to decide, Yang Congyi just thinks about it in advance, of course, he can also make suggestions to the Privy Council, after all, once the elite army is assigned to return to the Yi place, escort the Hui Yi fleet to the sea, how to train, when there is a return to the Yi place.

Yang Congyi has never been to the other side of Quanzhou, I don't know how many people there are now, whether the governance of the government is smooth, if it is still in the barbaric era, disobey discipline, if the elite army is stationed there for training, not only will not be helped, and even a lot of trouble will be added.

He wanted to take a boat to see it in person, but he was worried about the delay, so he went to Quanzhou Prefecture to find out.

Liuqiu County is under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou, the area is vast, but sparsely populated, after understanding, it is learned that the areas that the government can safely control are in the western coastal area of Liuqiu, and the terrain is slightly flat, some of the places where the people who move out gather together, the people on the mountain are difficult to manage, and the government is powerless to control, and the two sides coexist peacefully, as long as they do not go down the mountain to rob, the government will not take the initiative to provoke them.

Because of the western region of Liuqiu, the terrain is flat, the soil is fertile, the rain is abundant, the light is sufficient, it is very suitable for planting rice, the people who moved from Quanzhou and Zhangzhou in the past have opened up a lot of fertile land for thousands of years, whether the wind and rain are smooth or not, the grain produced in Liuqiu County every year is basically enough to eat, and even the grain will be sold to Quanzhou and Zhangzhou in good times, in exchange for something that is not available in Liuqiu locality.

According to the introduction of the officials of the Quanzhou Yamen, there are more than 54,300 people registered in Liuqiu, and there are many mountain people who have lived in the mountains for generations and make a living by hunting.

After learning about Liuqiu's current basic situation, Yang Congyi had a little bottom in his heart, if the elite army was transferred here to build a camp and train, there should not be much problem in terms of logistics.

Subsequently, he went to the shipyard several times, and after making sure that all the workers and craftsmen of the entire Quanzhou shipyard were mobilized and stepped up the construction of shipbuilding, he finally put his mind at ease about shipbuilding.

After that, he did not continue to delay in Quanzhou, said goodbye to Qingchen and Lian'er, urged the horse to leave Quanzhou and return to the north, and rushed back to Lin'an non-stop.

I haven't seen him for a month, Baominfang, Huiyi, has gradually become lively, Tang Xun has found a group of helpers from his hometown, and he is busy back and forth.

Tang Xun's complexion is much better than a year ago, maybe Qiongzhou is really not suitable for life, after returning to Lin'an, she recovered quickly.

Yang Congyi briefly explained his trip to Quanzhou to Tang Xun, and also informed her of the idea of the Jingwu army garrisoning Liuqiu, so as to listen to her suggestions.

However, Tang Xun was not interested in army training, and she didn't have much research, she thought that Yang Congyi would be in charge of the affairs of the elite army, as long as she could complete the escort task, it didn't matter how she trained.
