Chapter 59: Phoenix Island
When the autumn harvest season came, Jiang Hexing explained the matter to Li Xiaowen, because many people were busy with the autumn harvest, and they were idle. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info had nothing to do, and came to the office to take a look, not to mention the holiday, it was nothing.
It's good to go home and rest for a few days, and the river walks back to his home with fallen leaves all over the ground. He Ming and they all went to busy with the autumn harvest, the yard was empty, Jiang Hexing saw his son running around in the yard, he just learned to walk not long ago, now run, Jiang Hexing looked at his son motionlessly.
I don't know if he was running too fast or if something below was stumbling over him. Jiang Anbei lay on the ground, cried "wow", and Jiang Hexing immediately ran over. Pick up your son, help him dust him off, and wipe away his tears. At this moment, Zhao Qingyi ran out of the house, saw that his son was being held by Jiang Hexing, and smiled: "Everyone pays attention to hugging grandchildren and not children, you are good, you always hold your son when you come back." The style of being a king is gone. ”
Jiang Hexing said with a smile: "What kind of style does it take to be a king, it's not like everyone else." Having a wife and children is better than anything else. As he spoke, he entered the house.
Putting down the son, the son ran around and played again. Jiang Hexing said: "My son is almost two years old, right?" Would you like to get out and about? ”
Zhao Qingyi said very happily: "Yes, time flies so fast." Where are you going? ”
"How about going to Phoenix Island, doesn't my father-in-law and mother-in-law miss Qingyang too? We can also go and see them. ”
"Everyone said that there was no good martial arts there, and a few days ago, my mother was worried that Qingyang didn't know how much to suffer?"
Jiang Hexing laughed and said, "Does my father-in-law and mother-in-law have time?" Wouldn't it be nice to take them with you for a while? ”
Zhao Qingyi said: "My mother is also very busy, and she has a younger brother to take care of, as well as a canvas factory, she also has to take care of it, I'm afraid she doesn't have time." I mean, see if you take her with you. ”
Jiang Hexing said: "Who? ”
"Fan Jiao, don't you see that she has always been interesting to you? You haven't been here often in the past two years, and you've been at war at every turn. A few days ago, my father told me that my task is to help you take care of your family and let you have more children, and I think she is not bad. And my father said that if you accept her, you can comfort the hearts of many businessmen, and they will dare to really put their money here. ”
Jiang Hexing was a little surprised, surprised that Zhao Qingyi told him this, maybe this era is like this, her special identity makes her have to succumb to society. After thinking for a while, Jiang Hexing said: "I think what you said is good, but don't you mind?" Won't you be jealous if I find another one? ”
Zhao Qingyi said: "Hey, a few days ago, my father persuaded me to let me think about it, but in fact, I don't know about it, if I want to know, I would have opened it up a long time ago." Zhao Qingyi was very generous, and there was no disbelief in the corners of his eyebrows. It seems that Zhao Guang didn't know what to say, so he said that she was like this.
Jiang Hexing thought about it, he didn't understand many things in this era, so he simply left it to Zhao Qingyi to arrange.
Zhao Qingyi was in a hurry, and she went to talk to Fan Jiao herself. 3 days later, when everyone was still busy with the autumn harvest, Jiang Hexing was also busy with his "autumn harvest" and took Fan Jiao as a concubine.
After the autumn harvest is busy, the rivers and rivers see that the weather is as cold as a day. The leaves had all fallen and the sky was a grim gray. Explain the affairs of Pingzhou to Li Xiaowen, take his wife, son, and beautiful concubine Fan Jiao, with many guards, three galleons, set off from Xianwu and set off to Phoenix Island.
The sailboat set sail, it was very fast, Zhao Qingyi took such a fast boat for the first time, and ran around with his son in a novelty, playing together like two children. Fan Jiao was not so excited because she was more familiar, she just followed the river line step by step, smiling, and her eyes looked at the river line from time to time.
Jiang Hexing sat on the deck, looking at the sea and sky in front of him, listening to the waves lapping against the side of the boat. Although it is a large ship, it still rises and falls like a leaf in the sea. Jiang Hexing turned his head and said to Fan Jiao: "How does it feel to take a boat for the second time?" ”
Fan Jiao pursed her lips and smiled: "Last time I just got on the boat, we were still so worried that we still treated you as bandits." It's also that my father is too cautious, and later I found out that you actually have no bad intentions, but you are still a little afraid in your heart, afraid of people and even more afraid of the sea. At that time, I only felt that I was shaking so badly that I couldn't stand. Now I know that this sea is really beautiful, I didn't know how to stay on the ship before, but in the past two days on the ship, I found that the ship is also very good. ”
Jiang He Xingxin said: Are you the master on the boat now, what is good for you, of course, it feels different from before.
Jiang Hexing asked, "Have you heard of Phoenix Island?" ”
Fan Jiao said: "I heard that many captives are there, and it is extremely desolate, I don't know why my husband wants to go to see the Phoenix Island, and he also takes Anbei with him, it seems that something is wrong." ”
"I just want him to see a lot." Jiang Hexing replied.
Fan Jiao swallowed, as if she didn't dare to say anything, and looked at Jiang Hexing.
Jiang Hexing smiled and said, "Is there anything else you can't say?" ”
Fan Jiao said: "It seems inappropriate to come out with Wang and Anbei, in case there is a good one, Pingzhou City can be ......."
Jiang Hexing understood at once, what she said was not unreasonable.
Jiang Hexing pondered for a long time, and then said: "Even if there is an accident, there should be disputes, but Li Xiaowen should be able to stabilize the situation." When the time comes, he will control Zhang Jie and send him out. Zhang Kai and Zhang Jie have decided to see the overall situation, and they should be able to operate Phoenix Island with peace of mind. As long as the people are doing well, it shouldn't be a big deal. ”
Fan Jiao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Jiang Hexing to care so much about this, but seemed to be talking about matters that had nothing to do with him, maybe he was such a weirdo.
Jiang Hexing didn't want to say more on this topic, so he asked him how he studied geometry? The two discussed their knowledge like teachers and students, regardless of the wind and cold weather on the boat.
The ship traveled for 6 days, and on this day, the big ship docked. Jiang Hexing hugged his son, took Zhao Qingyi, and Fan Jiao went ashore together. Jiang'an North Road is noisy, I have to run by myself, Jianghexing looks at the mountain road, I don't feel at ease, let's go to Phoenix City.
Fortunately, I didn't go far, I was already able to walk the carriage, someone prepared the four-wheeled carriage, Jiang Hexing's family got into the carriage, and the handlebar style raised their hands, and the carriage started.
The road repair is as smooth as Xianwu, the mountain road on both sides of the road is extended, and the grass has been a little yellow, endless. From time to time, they saw huge stones, and they could see green streams not far away, except for the river line, they had never seen it, and they pointed all the way, and felt a good place.
After walking for half an hour, Zhang Kai Chen Gang came on a fast horse, and then the river lined, full of joy, Zhang Kai snatched Jiang Anbei over, Xiao Anbei was not afraid, and Zhang Kai rode forward on horseback.
After walking for another half an hour, he came to the gate of Phoenix City, which was almost exactly the same as Xianwuxiu's, Jiang Hexing smiled bitterly. As soon as he entered the city gate, Zhao Qingyang also came, waiting at the city gate, almost unchanged. Zhao Qingyi Zhao Qingyang said for a long time before Zhao Qingyang walked forward with the team.
After a while, in the Phoenix City Mansion, Zhang Kai first settled Jiang He's family members, and then led Jiang He to the conference room of the office office.
Zhang Kai, Chen Gang, and Zhang Meng were also called back, and they talked about their work one by one. Chen Gang's sailors have been training for almost two years, according to his words, they have become an army, and Zhang Meng's special forces have also practiced for almost a year. Zhang Kai introduced the construction here and the matter of sea salt, now because of the work of the prisoners who used to work in Buyu, as well as the newly sent Xianbei prisoners, the production of salt is too much to be used up. I can't eat the whole Pingzhou, but I can't finish it. The river and the canal will be stored first, and the production will continue, and it may be useful later.
Zhang Kai talked about the focus here, warehouse construction. According to the previous requirements of Jianghexing, in addition to salt, a large warehouse was built here, as a material reserve base, stockpiling grain, grass, ordnance, and a military horse farm was built here, and now there are tens of thousands of war horses.
In short, as a logistics base, especially in winter, the construction is still good. Now many of them are used by merchants, and the taxes collected have already recovered the cost, because this is a transshipment base with a huge flow.
In the end, Zhang Kai asked: "Brother, you are on a desert island here, whether it is making salt, grain transshipment, or cloth sales, why do you still have so many soldiers, I have always had questions, and I didn't ask before, now can you tell me what you think." ”
Jiang Hexing said: "Prepare early for great changes." ”
Several people were dumbfounded. Zhang Kai was stunned for a while and said, "Brother, are you saying that the Han land is going to be in chaos?" ”
Jiang He nodded and said: "I see it quickly, Wang Mang will inevitably stir up chaos in the world, and then it will be time to use you." ”
Chen Gang said: "He Wang, then I have time to ask for leave, there are still many relatives and friends at home, it used to be the fortune and misfortune of Pingzhou, and now it seems that they are going to be brought here." ”
Jiang Hexing nodded and asked, "Do you have any relatives and friends in Zhangjiazhuang?" ”
Zhang Kai said: "In the past few years, relatives and friends have come, Pingzhou has given a lot of land, although the weather is cold, everyone feels much better in winter than before, all of them are developed, and all relatives and friends have been brought over." ”
Chen Gang said: "He Wang, when do you think the war will start?" ”
Jiang Hexing said: "It's hard for me to say this, when I want the Han Dynasty to rise up, you have to vigorously save people and transport refugees to Pingzhou." ”
"What? Isn't it a war? Zhang Kai asked urgently.
"Why do we want to fight, we don't want to send troops until there is chaos. If we send troops too early, in addition to killing and injuring more people, if we don't have enough strength to accumulate and see-saw back and forth, I don't know how many innocent people will be affected. ”
Jiang Hexing continued: "Once the world is in turmoil, if we can send troops to occupy the north of the Yellow River within a year, are you sure?" ”
Several people's jaws were about to fall in shock, and they immediately shook their heads and said, "It's impossible." ”
Jiang Hexing said: "Yes, I also know that it is impossible, it's not that we can't fight, the main thing is that we have too few people, and we won't even have soldiers stationed at that time." So this is the reason why I have to take in refugees, the more people I take, the more soldiers there will be in the future, and then the chaos can be calmed down. ”
Jiang Hexing looked at Chen Gang, and then said:
"Chen Gang, do you know the reason for letting you practice as a sailor now?"
Chen Gang thought for a while, and then said, "You let me practice as a sailor, mainly to pick up people." I understand now that when it is critical, we must be able to fight, we must be able to prevent it, and we must quickly bring people back. ”
Jiang Hexing nodded, and said to Zhang Meng: "No one can say what will happen at that time, Zhang Meng will have to contribute at a critical time, your tasks are very heavy, don't think that you will not be allowed to fight in the front, you will have to make great efforts in the future development of our army, can you understand now?" ”
Zhang Kai, Zhang Meng, and Chen Gang were full of excitement, looking forward to contributing as soon as possible.
Jiang Hexing said: "Chen Gang, I have approved your leave, but I have a task for you to complete." After the task is completed, I immediately went to pick up relatives and friends, and after picking up, I sent someone to Changchun, which was not bad. ”
Chen Gang replied, "What task?" Please give an order to the king. ”
Jiang Hexing looked at Chen Gang and said, "You take the sailors to Anwu, send a letter to Ma Yuan, and ask him to pass on the information." This is a task for you, and at the same time a task for Ma Yuan. ”
After Chen Gang received the order, he didn't say a word, turned around and went out.
