Among the people Gu Xiancheng entertained in this painting boat, Li En was not the only one who had selfish intentions, and he planned to use Gu Xiancheng to achieve his own goals, but other people also had such thoughts, but their minds were not like Li En's whitewashing for his uncle, but wanted to use Gu Xiancheng's criticism of the government to put forward Liu Zheng's policy of flour tax, and then they launched various relationships to put pressure on the elder and the emperor to see if they could get this done.

Gu Xiancheng couldn't guess the thoughts of these people in front of him, and Liu Zheng didn't know that Gu Xiancheng, who was thousands of miles away, had started playing Donglin Academy six years in advance, and Liu Zheng was looking for someone to talk to, and the object of the conversation was Xu Wenxu, he had been talking to Xu Wenxu since the morning, and when it came to noon, Xu Wenxu hadn't opened his mouth, and Liu Zheng's heart almost collapsed.

Why did Liu Zheng want to talk to Xu Wenxu, the reason is that he wanted Xu Wenxu to go to Leizhou, Xu Wenxu has been silent since he heard Liu Zheng say that he wanted to go to Leizhou by himself, and let Liu Zheng say all the good things, but he didn't speak, didn't say yes or didn't say no, the two of them just said one by one and kept silent, and the morning was wasted.

Leaving Xu Wenxu to have lunch, when Liu Zheng was about to continue to talk to Xu Wenxu, Xu Wenxu suddenly spoke: "Lord, if you want me to go to Leizhou, it's okay, but I have one condition!" ”

Liu Zheng was slightly stunned, and then said with great joy: "Don't say one condition, ten conditions are fine!" ”

Xu Wenxu waved his hand and said: "I'm not bargaining with the lord, the lord wants me to go to Leizhou is also where the military life, how can there be a bargain, my condition is a condition, but it is actually a request!" ”

Liu Zheng looked at Xu Wenxu very seriously, and then nodded solemnly and said, "Brother Xu, please speak clearly!" ”

Seeing that Liu Zheng agreed, Xu Wenxu said bluntly: "I have two sons, the eldest son Xu Yang is twenty-four years old and is already in the army, and the younger son is eighteen years old. ”

Liu Zheng is such a shrewd person, he immediately understood Xu Wenxu's intentions, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, don't worry, I will help you take care of this kid!" But listening to Brother Xu, what do you mean by that are going to take Xu Yang to Leizhou? ”

Xu Wenxu nodded and said, "Brothers in battle, fathers and sons in battle!" This is far away to Leizhou, the road ahead is uncertain, it is always good to have a trustworthy person by your side! Besides, this kid hasn't gone out for twenty-four yet, and now going to Leizhou can be regarded as a river and lake experience! ”

Xu Wenxu said so, what else can Liu Zheng say? In addition to being moved or moved! Of course, Liu Zheng is also a hero, and he is also a shrewd person, so he naturally knows that Xu Wenxu can't really support him by doing this, but with a different kind of thought, this thought is simply that I, Xu Wenxu, am not only willing to go to the place of exile for you Liu Zheng, but even brought my eldest son with me, so support you, you won't lose me!

But even if Xu Wenxu has such a mind, Liu Zheng will not mind in the slightest, there is a very popular saying in later generations, it is called that people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, why not think about themselves while being busy with business?

Liu Zheng gently patted Xu Wenxu's arm and said, "Brother Xu, don't worry, I will let people stare at the people and things in the family, who dares not to open his eyes, I, Liu Zheng, will personally handle him!" ”

Xu Wenxu nodded and said, "Even so, I don't have anything to worry about, my lord, when is it scheduled to leave?" ”

"Don't worry!" Liu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Even if you want to leave, you have to wait for the holy decree to arrive, and there are still many things to do before leaving!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Zheng paused slightly, looked at Xu Wenxu's eyes and said, "Brother Xu, this time I went to Leizhou, I didn't let you go alone!" ”

"This time I went to Leizhou, although I only brought 10,000 people, but I allowed you to recruit troops on the spot, you can rest assured that the silver for recruiting soldiers has been ordered, I have ordered someone to prepare one million taels of silver, these silver does not mean that it will be gone after it is spent, but it will give you so much silver every year!"

Hearing Liu Zheng's words, Xu Wenxu was taken aback, and gave 10,000 taels a year, this, this ......

Seeing a surprised expression on Xu Wenxu's face, Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Don't be surprised, don't think that there is a lot of silver, in fact, I still think that these silver are less, if there is a need in the future, I will increase it for you, as for how much it increases, it depends on the situation, less is a million, more, well, there is no upper limit!" ”

Xu Wenxu couldn't say he was surprised at this time, he was completely dumbfounded, one million a year is not enough, it has to be increased again, and there is no upper limit, this, what does this mean, this shows that he is not exiled at all, but really entrusted with a heavy responsibility, thinking about this, Xu Wenxu's heart suddenly became excited.

Can't help but be excited, as soon as he heard Liu Zheng say that he wanted him to go to Leizhou, the first thing he thought of was that he was assigned, why, because he had made several mistakes before, and it was a big mistake, these mistakes have been pressing on his heart, making him embarrassed to see Liu Zheng, and even the brothers He was embarrassed to see, such a situation, suddenly heard that Liu Zheng was going to send him to Leizhou, how could he not make him think more?

Now that it's okay, hearing Liu Zheng say such words, the gloom that weighed on my heart suddenly dissipated.

Liu Zheng didn't know what Xu Wenxu was thinking in his heart, he still said to himself: "In addition to the silver, I will also let a few of Lao Zeng's right-hand men follow you over, don't worry, they are not going to divide your power, but to do other things, you know, I have always wanted to get the maritime business, don't look at us by the sea, but after all, it is in the north, the shipbuilding industry is not much behind compared to the south, and their task in the south is to collect craftsmen, and then build ships and build big ships. Although the blueprints of the treasure ship have been lost, I have a blueprint of a ship similar to the treasure ship here! ”

"I hope that after they arrive in Leizhou, they can build this ship as soon as possible, shipbuilding requires silver, and the silver is in your hands!"

Xu Wenxu nodded heavily, Liu Zheng is advocating the opening of the sea, and it is not a day or two to engage in maritime trade, but there are too few craftsmen in the north, even if they have craftsman skills, they can't build sea ships, so they have been delayed until now, and now that he is going to Leizhou, with the conditions to be able to build ships, how can Liu Zheng let go of this opportunity?

Thinking of Liu Zheng handing over such an important matter to himself, and letting himself be in charge of the shipbuilding silver, how much trust is this?

To build a big ship, you don't need to do anything crooked, you can leave a large amount of silver on hand, this has to move the crooked mind, and you don't dare to think about how much silver there is.

"Lord, don't worry, if you can't do it at this time, don't kill me, I'll screw my head off myself!"
