Fu Gongyou and the others were dumbfounded, Teng King Yang Tong is now equivalent to the idle king, and Yang Chong, the king of Yue, cannot be compared, but Yang Tong used a soft trick this time, insisting that he was sick, not only did he not go to greet Yang Chong, but Jiangdu Palace did not let him out, he just wanted to live in Jiangdu Palace with Yang Chong and show his identity. But after all, Yang Tong is Yang Guang's own grandson, and his identity is much higher than Yang Chonggao in terms of legal system, and he is the first successor of the Great Sui, although it is likely that Yang Chong and others will not let him succeed him, but in the era of change, who can say clearly.

Yang Chong smiled unmindingly and said, "Xu Jingzong, wait for you and Zhang Liang to bring some gifts, go to see King Teng for this king, and invite Qu Tutong and Wei Xun to the banquet in the evening by the way." ”

Since Yang Tong was sick, Yang Chong naturally did not invite him, but Yang Chong did not even send Yu Yu and Su Dingfang, just to tell Yang Tong what his status was now; Cui De was originally an old minister of Yang Tong, and he wanted to say a few words to adjust the atmosphere, but now that the Quartet is stable, the big question left is who will be the emperor, and the positions of Yang Tong and Yang Chong cannot be coordinated. Yang Tong thinks that he is a nobleman of the imperial family, and Yang Chong has already been in power for a while, and it is destined to be impossible to retreat.

Fortunately, Yang Chong turned the topic to the return of the field, and Fu Gongyou was the first to agree, he was born a poor child with a bitter hatred, and he still had the idea of equal wealth and poverty in his bones, as long as he could stomp on the face of the rich man, Fu Gongyou was happy to see it. As for his own status as a general and Jiang Du's stay-at-home status, in a popular phrase, Fu Gongyou has become the kind of person he hates; Cui Deben believes that the abolition of commercial and low-level registrations can take a step forward and gradually restore those cities that have been empty.

Everyone was discussing, Xu Jingzong and Zhang Liang went for a while and came back, Yang Tong was reasonable on face, accepted the gift, thank Yang Chong for his concern; But Qu Tutong said that he was not free in the evening, and only Wesson agreed to come to the banquet. Yang Chong was not ready to talk to Qu Tutong about anything, what he needed was Wei Xun, the Wei family shipyard was well managed, and now there were two sea ships under construction at the same time, Yang Chong hoped that the Wei family's sea ships would also join the north-south transportation.

The atmosphere of the big guy is very high, the more he talks, the more things he finds, and when he talks about it, he can't finish it all the time, seeing the sun setting in the west, Yang Chong stood up and said: "It's not early, we will discuss these things later, I also have to go back to prepare for the banquet in the evening, don't be late." ”

On the way to send Yang Chong out of the Left-behind Division, Tianqi left the address, Yangliuyuan in the east of Ximaqiao, the original Zhao Xingshu's industry, named because of its proximity to Yangliu Embankment. This house is relatively remote, no one has paid attention to it, some time ago there were people from Jiangnan to decorate, I thought it was a big businessman, but I didn't expect it to be the Yue Wangfu. Naturally, there is no need to inform the local government to spend their own money, and Wei Xun and Fu Gongyou and others have seen Yang Chong's scheming and methods.

The banquet is set in the only hall in the house, outside the window on the left side is the bamboo forest, all kinds of bamboo branches and leaves are sparse, reflecting each other, the tower, flowers and trees loom in the forest, and a curved stone road disappears into the depths; On the right side is the partition of the Roman column, and there is a platform that extends to the fish pond at the oblique angle, the craggy mountain stone rises from the ground, and on the top is a small chess pavilion, the ancient cypress behind the pavilion stretches obliquely, and the road is steep, which makes people have endless memories.

Today is Huaiyang cuisine, fresh crucian carp, purple crab, Chunul, ginger sprouts, duck eggs, fresh bamboo shoots, anchovies, live shrimp, wicker fish, etc., the main dish is Yang Chong's pointed out drunk shrimp, steamed crab, fried saury, raw roasted venison, squirrel mandarin fish made by the imperial kitchen, money shrimp cakes, ivory chicken strips, sunflower chopped meat; The soup is three sets of ducks made by the chef of Yangfu, with domestic duck, wild duck and vegetable pigeon set together, plus ham, winter bamboo shoots, shiitake mushrooms, chicken gizzards, and chicken liver seasoning.

Everyone sits on the Hu bed, and when they drink and eat, their legs can be straightened, and they feel very comfortable; Wei Xun secretly planned to go back to the craftsman to change the tables and chairs at home, and heard that Zhou Shaoji was in charge of Jiangdu's fleet. Fu Gongsuke's triumphant voice echoed in the hall: "The personnel of our navy are in place, the two main ships are equipped with Greek fire, and the other five are supplemented with transfiring bed crossbows, and they are currently being drilled. Chen Ling's eleven sea ships are also full, and they are on their way south, when the time comes, they will transfer to Huating with two completed sea ships, a total of twenty ships, what is the current situation in Huating? ”

Zheng Ying replied: "The seven sea ships transferred by Zhuge Quan, Zhang Bojian, Zhang Zhen Zhouge, and Huiji County have arrived, bringing the two big sea-eating ships purchased in Guangzhou, plus Li Junxian's trained sailors and Baiyue fishermen, the personnel can be equipped with the personnel of ten ships, and the personnel of the last ship are still being recruited. It just so happens that Senior Wei is here, I don't know if the two ships of the Wei family shipyard can be sold to the Jiangdu Stay-behind Division? ”

Wei Xun had already received a letter from Chang'an, and knew that Yang Chong's navy was prepared according to seventy warships, and he only thought that there were few ships, not too many ships; Now I want a boat, just to train sailors. Wexon laughed and said, "I don't know when the sea freight will start?" ”

Zheng Ying asked Wei Ting to take a nautical chart and said: "This time, the ships from Dengzhou and Jiangdu arrived at Huating, and began to transport them after the training, and for the first time they protected 35 ships of materials until Bohai Bay, landed in Cangzhou, and went directly to Liaoxi by taking the Haihe River; Cui Minshou, the Liaoning transshipment envoy in Hebei Province, is currently in charge of preparing the shipyard, wharf and dredging the river in Cangzhou. In addition, Liaoxi will be divided into Liucheng County, re-establish Changli County, in addition to Changli City, and build two harbor cities of Guzhu and Swallow. ”

Needless to say, the two cities are built, not only can the materials be directly unloaded to Yingzhou, but the naval army can also be renovated on the spot, and it can be fought to Liaodong at any time, Yang Chong is not in a hurry to start a war, precisely because the time advantage is on the side of the Great Sui. At that time, Yang Chong did not need to mobilize the whole country like Yang Jian and Yang Guang, that is, he used Liaoxi to fight with Goguryeo every year, and fought until the collapse of the Seven Divisions of the Yan Dynasty and Goguryeo could not be moved.

Wei Xun understood that if he missed this opportunity in front of him, even if Wei Yuanzhao and Wei Ting were to pay homage to the Marquis in the future, Yang Chong would not look at the Wei family again, Wei Xun put on a willing look and said: "King Yue has told me the secret, if you don't participate, something will happen in the future, and the Wei family can't afford it, but Qu Tutong, that old guy, has an idea, and wants to help his second eldest Qu Tuquan, and he wants to make a boat with the Wei family alone." ”

Zhou Shaoji said with a smile: "I am friends with Qu Tuquan, and I must teach him to fight." By the way, King Yue, when will the navy of Kunming Chi give us, one ship with ten people and two sets of equipment, and give us one hundred and twenty sets of equipment, which will be installed on the ten capital ships of the navy. ”

Fu Gongyu was familiar with water warfare, and he knew about these things, and when he heard this, he asked, "Are you going to treat the Wuya warship as a capital ship?" ”
