Chapter 186: Stratagem
Is this Lin Yuanfei the chief official of the city? It should be unlikely, the City Department is a relatively complex and huge organization, and it is impossible for such a young person to be a big official, then it should be the son of a big official. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info a group of second-generation officials are mixed together, and this reason makes sense.
However, Lian Yuanfei's sudden initiative to visit was like an enlightenment to Wang Shaoan, if he opened it again, it would definitely be more than just the pharmacy owner being arrested. There is no doubt that this group of people is behind the power, needless to say Qin Xi, he is the prime minister of the dynasty, a famous traitor, and his power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, such an identity is already very high. And Lin Yuanfei actually said that there are other big bosses behind him, and Wang Shaoan can't figure out who it will be. But he knew that dealing with them was not as simple as dealing with Shi Huaguan, and he just bombarded them with cannons.
Not long after Lin Yuanfei left, Zhao Xiaobai arrived. Wang Shaoan asked how the relationship between Zhao Xiaobai and Lin Yuanfei was, and Zhao Xiaobai said that his relationship with Lin Yuanfei was okay, and the credibility of this person was still very high.
"Huh? Shao'an, why are you asking this? Zhao Xiaobai asked.
"That's right, I met Lin Yuanfei in an underground casino before, and Xiao Liang was also given to me by him, and he just came to tell me a lot of things." Wang Shaoan replied.
"Huh? Did you meet Yuanfei? Zhao Xiaobai was slightly surprised.
"Yes,......" Wang Shaoan told Zhao Xiaobai what happened when he went to the underground casino and met Lin Yuanfei and what happened in the casino.
"Oh, that's right, it seems that Yuanfei really wants to make friends with you. He's a high-minded and arrogant person, and there aren't many people who can see it, haha. Zhao Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Lin Yuanfei, who is he?" Wang Shaoan asked.
"Yuanfei is the only son of Lin Hongru of the City Shipping Division, Lin Hongru is the city shipping envoy, and he is also the chief of the Municipal Shipping Division, although the official only has three products, but he holds the right to maritime trade and trade in his hands, although the official position is not at the top, but he is a small official with big power, which can be described as a hand and eye to the sky." Zhao Xiaobai explained.
"The city boss, now that maritime trade is so developed, it seems that he is an official who is quite rich in oil and water." Wang Shaoan said. No wonder this Lin Yuanfei doesn't value the profits of the pills he developed, his family is equivalent to the customs of later generations, managing maritime merchants, according to the tariff of one percent, the annual oil and water is an astronomical amount.
Not only that, but his family's ancestors were shipbuilders, and now his family has a large shipyard and hundreds of large merchant ships that can go to sea, which is not comparable to ordinary shipyards. Speaking of me and him, I met Yuanfei because I sneaked out of the house to play in the shipyard when I was a child, and we have many similarities, such as we both like to make strange things. If he knew that I had created the Flying Divine Wings, he would definitely drop his jaw, hehe" Zhao Xiaobai said with a smile.
Wang Shaoan's eyes lit up, the shipyard is definitely an indispensable place, it seems that it is necessary for this Lin Yuanfei to make friends, if you want to build a ship in the future, it will be much more convenient to have an expert guide.
"Haha, it turns out that his family is a shipbuilder, Xiaobai, let me tell you, I plan to build a ship that is not driven by sail manpower. These boats are powered directly by an internal combustion engine and sail faster than paddlewheel sailboats. The outer layer is made of steel, and then the hull is equipped with cannons, so you can definitely go sideways on the sea! Wang Shaoan said.
"And go to sea to be a pirate?" Zhao Xiaobai's eyes lit up.
The corners of Wang Shao'an's mouth twitched slightly, when he used to drink with Zhao Xiaobai, he occasionally mentioned pirates, but he didn't expect this little prince to never forget the word pirates.
"Pirates...... No, let's call it the Navy! You think, let's build a navy in the coastal area of Suzhou Prefecture, and then drive north from the sea, and then land in Lutai Town along Zhongdu Road, and drive straight to Zhongdu. The Jin people could not have imagined that we would attack their capital directly around the rear with a naval army. Wang Shaoan said.
"Wonderful! It's a miracle! The backyard of the Jin people caught fire, and the army was all pressed to the border, far water could not quench the thirst of the near, no matter how much they could fight, they would not be able to return to the sky! Zhao Xiaobai shouted skillfully.
"Haha, we're just talking on paper, in the final analysis, the matter of marching and fighting is still up to the imperial court." Wang Shaoan said with a smile.
"I'll go back and discuss such a clever plan with my father!" Zhao Xiaobai said.
"It's slow, I have an idea." Wang Shaoan stopped Zhao Xiaobai and said.
"Shao'an, you say!"
"Instead of relying on the imperial court, we should rely on ourselves! To build a strong naval army by himself, not only to defend against the Jin State, but also to defend the sovereignty of the country from infringement in the future. Wang Shaoan said.
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Xiaobai's eyes, and he sat down again and whispered: "Raise private soldiers, but you want to kill your head!" β
Wang Shaoan clearly looked excited from Zhao Xiaobai's eyes, obviously quite interested in Wang Shaoan's proposal. If there is a coup d'Γ©tat in the future, as long as you have soldiers in your hands, it will be equivalent to holding great power. But once this kind of thing is discovered, even if he Zhao Xiaobai is the prince, he will definitely lose his head.
Wang Shaoan smiled and said: "Hehe, we don't want to raise private soldiers, but directly build a city!" Then we hired a large number of workers to do the work for us. β
"Hire coolies? The coolies are scattered when they fight. Zhao Xiaobai said.
Wang Shaoan shook his finger and said: "No, no, no, that's not called coolies, that's called workers, and then slowly train them into sappers, retire to produce all kinds of devices, and march to fight." β
"Workers...... Sapper...... Ha ha! Shao'an, although your idea is very special, I have to say that this whimsical idea is very feasible! Zhao Xiaobai said with a look of sudden realization.
Of course, there is a reason why Wang Shaoan wants to pull Zhao Xiaobai into the gang, aside from like-mindedness, people are royal sons, and they will inherit the unification in the future, and it is definitely the first help for them to embark on a strong road. And if he is there, with his identity, he can solve a lot of problems.
"I think so, let's build a factory in a strategically located wasteland, and in the current situation, we can build a shipyard directly. Isn't Lin Yuanfei's family a shipbuilder? We can learn from him. Then recruit skilled craftsmen in shipbuilding with high salaries. Note that it is a high salary, not a slavery. As long as the size of the shipyard slowly expands, it will naturally gather people to form a city. (To be continued.) )
