A large-scale reward ceremony ended with a vigorous banquet. The next day, Qiao Ren did good things to the end, and sent Wang Lang, who announced the decree, back to Shouchun alive, and it took a lot of time to come and go. If it was put in the past, Qiao Ren would like to return to Huainan to be the overlord of the soil, but Zhou Yu's words always linger in his ears, since Jiangdong's ships can sail Liaodong and Vietnam and other places, then the two big islands of Taiwan and Hainan must also be able to reach, and it is impossible to say that Jiangdong's navy has already discovered these two.

Originally, Qiao Ren wanted to find Qiao's father to understand first, but Qiao's father sent him away with a word, the reason is that the Qiao family's career has been handled by Dai Lan in recent years, of course, Qiao's father originally wanted to hand it over to Sun Shangxiang, but unfortunately Miss Sun was not interested in this, but was more willing to help Qiao's family practice private songs.

The Qiao family is the strongest family in the Jiangdong Sea, it is said that because of the relationship between Qiao Ren, the Qiao family's fleet has thousands of sailors to protect the army, and their leader is actually the commander of the Ganning Jinfan Army. However, due to the limitations of shipbuilding technology in the Han Dynasty, all the sea ships were merchant ships and could not fight, and those building ships galloping on the river could overturn a wave when they put a wave in the sea. It was also a loss that they could not form a navy, so the Qiao family was able to form a fleet of 10,000 people.

"Is the husband talking about Yizhou?" After being married for a few years, Dai Lan did not look like a maid as usual, and she had the temperament of a noble lady to see Qiao Ren's evil fire surging.

Forcibly suppressing the fire in his heart, Qiao Ren looked at Dai Lanyu and pointed to the location of Taiwan in the future. Although Qiao Ren can't draw a detailed map of China, he can still draw a map of the sea line. "Seems to be."

"Huh!" Dai Lan smiled and said: "This island is in the southeast of the eastern part of Huiji County, about two thousand miles away, some time ago, Wei Wen's fleet went there to get fresh water, according to Wei Wen's description, the land of this island is frost and snow, and the grass and trees are not dead. There are mountains on all sides, and all the mountains are inhabited, and there are tens of thousands of families who are all divided into kings, and they are still some barbarians. ”

"Wei Wen?" Qiao Ren wondered if this guy was not the one who discovered Taiwan with Zhuge Zhi, why was he still in his own fleet now?

seemed to be surprised that her husband didn't know Wei Wen, and Dai Lan's tone was a little more questioning. "Doesn't the husband know Wei Wen? He is the son of your old Wei Jing, who is weak but quite good at sailing, and he usually calls his sister and aunt. ”

It turned out to be Wei Jing's son, Wei Jing and Bu Qi were close friends, and they were also Qiao Ren's new capital was too punctual to get rid of Cao, which was Qiao Ren's descendant, no wonder Dai Lan would hand over the affairs of the fleet to Wei Wen to take care of. Wei Jing was born in Guangling, and he was a close friend of the Huaisi party, and the Huaiyin Bu family and the Huaiyin Dai family were also world friends, and the Wei family was also Qiao Ren's descendant, protected by the wings of the Qiao family.

"So our fleet has been to Yizhou? If you say you want to go again, can you? Qiao Ren asked directly after thinking about it.

"Hmmm! Yes, our fleet has passed through Yizhou countless times, although we have only gone ashore once, but the route to the south has to pass through Yizhou. ”

"Someone called Wei Wen to come and see me." Time is not waiting, Qiao Ren's face is excited.

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

"You said that there is a huge island opposite the waiting officer, and there are tens of thousands of households on it, and the population does not go down the mountain to the crowd?" Sun Ce asked loudly, seeing that Qiao Ren took a young man he didn't know and said that there was a huge island no less than a county overseas, obviously Sun Ce still didn't believe it.

Sun Ce's reaction was completely expected by Qiao Ren, and with Qiao Ren's encouragement and moral support, Wei Wen finally had the courage to explain to the most powerful man in South China.

To be honest, Wei Jing is a little suspicious of being a master, not that he is not capable, on the contrary, his ability is more than enough to be a county guard, but unfortunately he is a little arrogant in terms of virtue, and only a few people such as Qiao Ren, Zhou Yu and Bu Qi in Jiangdong can get his admiration. However, Wei Wen's son is very different, but he is very cautious and humble, because he is a disciple taught by Buqi.

"Hmm!" Sun Ce gradually believed Qiao Ren's remarks, "Ziyan, what do you mean!" ”

"Expand your territory! Yizhou will be included in the jurisdiction of our Jiangdong, and the capital of Haidong will be set up to protect it, reclaim its land, and collect its people. Saying that, Qiao Ren ignored the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers, and leaned into Sun Ce's ear and whispered: "Even if Jiangdong is not guaranteed in the future, you can rebuild the Zongmiao Sheji in Yizhou." ”

"Hmm!" Sun Ce's eyes lit up, but his face changed again in an instant. "Even if you set up the capital to protect it, opening up the territory can be regarded as a merit that will leave a name in history, so leave it to future generations! Ziyan ordered you to occupy Yizhou secretly, and the shipyard of the Houguan can let you govern it, and the eight counties in the south of Jian'an, Jianping, Nanping, Zhaowu, Jiangle, Dong'an, Houguan, and Wuxing will set up a separate county, and the county guard is recommended by you. You must firmly hold Yizhou in your hands. ”

It seems that Sun Ce intends to leave this achievement to the successor, after all, he is also the founder of the country, and he does not need to show any great deeds, and it is not bad to leave it to future generations. But the back is obviously to leave a back hand for his own line, but Qiao Ren listened to it in a cold sweat, and behind the huge power is also a huge risk.

"This! Brother-in-law. Qiao Ren was also a little difficult, whether to take it or not.

"Lone believes in you!" Sun Ce's eyes were blazing, staring at Qiao Ren's eyes.

Under Sun Ce's huge pressure, Qiao Ren had no choice but to respond, "Oh! ”

Coming out of Duke Wu's mansion, Qiao Ren felt that the clothes behind his back had been wet with sweat. But Qiao Ren had to do this, not only for Sun Ce, but also for himself and the Qiao family.

As for the occupation and development of Yizhou, Qiao Ren handed it over to Sun Shangxiang and Dai Lan. Qiao Ren's three wives, Sun Shangxiang is a heroine, Dai Lan is smart and good at governance, and the step trainer is cautious and resourceful, all of them are virtuous and helpers, and these things can just be used by their own wives. Anyway, the population of Yizhou is only about 300,000, and it is still in the Stone Age, even if there is military power, it is just the light of fire, and the power of Sun Ce, which the Qiao family and Sun Shangxiang can use, is afraid that there are seven or eight thousand private songs, and this is still not plus the Huaiyin Bu family, Huaiyin Dai family, Guangling Wei family, Danyang Xu family, etc., which are subordinate to the Qiao family, and it is just a small test to deal with a mere Yizhou. It's just that Qiao Ren, the Taishou of Jian'an County, is easy to handle, and he can let Han Xuan take the position, but the manager of the Houguan Shipyard has some headaches.

Wei Wen looked at Qiao Ren's expression, and there was a feeling of wanting to speak and stopping, and he happened to be stared at by Qiao Ren. "You have something to say."

After hesitating for a while, Wei Wen still said honestly: "The kid has a friend who is good at navigation and shipbuilding, and I want to recommend it to Jun Hou." ”

"Who!" This matter is a matter of great importance and irrelevance, Qiao Ren does not dare to use it, but presumably Wei Wen should also know that since he dares to say it, he must be the right person.

"It is Zhuge Zhi, the widow of Zhuge Xuan, who was too shou of Zhuge Xuan, crossed the river with Zhuge when he was a child, although he was twenty years old, he was proficient in navigation and shipbuilding, and he has been serving in the shipbuilding office of Jianye."

"Zhuge Zhi!" Sure enough, it was him, but Qiao Ren didn't expect that he was actually Zhuge Xuan's son and Zhuge Jin's brother, Zhuge Jin and Lu Su were both recommended by Qiao Ren, but unlike Lu Su at the self-reliance portal, Zhuge Jin is Qiao Ren's hardcore, although he is not subordinate, but he is a family of people, and the close relationship is coupled with the engagement of Zhuge Ke and Qiao Ling, the relationship is even more unusual. Qiao Ren never felt that the political marriage was so useful, and the family was really easy to handle.
