1016. I am very satisfied
After a long journey of almost a month, Wang Xuance finally returned to Chang'an from Guangzhou. And this way he rode back on a fast horse, so he was very fast, and there was almost no rest. After returning to Chang'an, the first thing he did was to clean himself up, and then came to Jingwen's house. And Jingwen also received this Wang Xuance, wanting to know what he had done in Guangzhou. And Jingwen also wanted to see this Wang Xuance's ability and see how much level he had.
"My lord, I am fortunate not to be dishonored, and I have completed a lot of things." Wang Xuance said.
And Jingwen immediately asked, "How much have you completed?" ”
And Wang Xuance immediately said: "My lord, after I went to Guangzhou, the first thing I did was to form a navy. And I recruited coastal fishermen, and then I started to form some water armies of thousands of people. In the future, these sailors will rush to the strait you mentioned, and then let me completely occupy that land. But we're not there yet, we're just able to make it possible for them to go along the coastline, not just across the ocean. And once it is too far from the shore, then maybe the officers and men of the navy will also have a disease, which can only be solved after going ashore. ”
"It's okay, a century-old navy, it's not that easy. Forming a naval army is too difficult compared to an army. Jingwen said.
Of course, Jingwen knows that it is not easy to form a naval army, and there is a saying from later generations that it is called a century-old navy, and the navy is also a naval army. The economic cost of the navy can be said to be very huge, even in ancient times, the cost of wood was very large. And there are also hired manpower, even all kinds of training on the water, and there is also a need to go to sea to practice, which requires a lot of economic costs. And first of all, this Wang Xuance must be able to get money, and if there is no money, he will not be able to form a training army.
In the past, China's navy fought in the domestic rivers, but in the future, the navy will have to think about fighting overseas, and this is the difference. In fact, China has always attached great importance to the army. Despise the trolls. And when they need a navy, they train years in advance. In the original history of the Tang Dynasty's war to destroy Baekje, it was because of the need for naval troops that tens of thousands of naval troops were temporarily trained. This kind of temporary cramming behavior is very unacceptable, and the navy is an important branch of the military that can help China expand its territory. But China has never paid much attention to the navy, so Jingwen has no choice.
Therefore, Jingwen also took the initiative to raise some money, and then gave Wang Xuance to compile a water army. These sailors have also been reported to the emperor for review, after all, if they can't get the audit pass, then Jingwen will not dare to train soldiers without authorization. And Li Shimin actually wants to join the army more when he joins the navy. And now Datang doesn't have anything to do with the need for a water army, so he doesn't pay much attention to these things. However, Jingwen invested the money. The first batch of naval troops in Datang will be cultivated, and as seeds, they can also be continuously expanded and inherited.
"My lord, but we haven't been able to explore that trade route well!" Wang Xuance said a little embarrassed.
Wang Xuance was really embarrassed, because Jingwen once said that from the Guangzhou generation, he could expand overseas, and then there was a very wealthy trade route. These trade routes are actually the Maritime Silk Road, which can be exchanged for no less than the Silk Road on land. However, Wang Xuance went to Guangzhou, but he was not able to explore a trade route, so Wang Xuance was a little disappointed. Because of the huge wealth of this Silk Road, Wang Xuance knows it. If you can find out, it will be a great achievement. With such a big credit, it can be knighted. However, it has not been able to explore it now, which makes Wang Xuance a little depressed.
"What are you anxious about? Where is it so easy? Jingwen snorted.
Jingwen certainly knew that this maritime Silk Road had been explored for hundreds of years before it was completed. Although there is a rough map of Jingwen now, it will take at least a few decades to explore some doorways. Therefore, Jing Wen naturally would not think that Wang Xuance would be able to complete the exploration within a few years, if he could complete it within a few years, then Jing Wen would suspect that he had obtained the alien's golden finger. So Jingwen heard that he didn't explore it. Not only was it not too surprised, but it felt very normal. After all, if he had explored it, it would be problematic.
However, Jingwen has a rough map. Even know the approximate route. However, these maps are not very detailed, and the hydrological conditions are very different. So if Jingwen directly took the map of the later generations and gave it to them, then I'm afraid there would be a lot of problems. Therefore, Jingwen could only take out a rough map and give it to them to explore on their own, so that they could complete enough exploration tasks. As for this maritime Silk Road, Jingwen is not too anxious. Jingwen's goal is to be able to see the first transaction of the Maritime Silk Road when he is alive in his life, and it will not take three or two years to produce results immediately.
"Okay, Wang Xuance, I'm quite satisfied with the situation you are going to explore so far. And then you have the opportunity to continue this task, and in the future your rights will only be greater, not lower. Jingwen said.
"My lord, am I going to be promoted?" Wang Xuance asked.
And Jingwen immediately asked: "Don't you know why you came back this time?" ”
"I don't know, the eunuch who delivered the decree didn't say anything, but just urged me to come to Chang'an to report on my work. It's just that I seem to be changing my position, so I'm here to ask you about it. However, I haven't completed the tasks assigned by you and the imperial court in Guangzhou, so I'm just promoted and transferred, isn't this not good? Wang Xuance said.
Jingwen listened to Wang Xuance's statement, and he was also a little funny, he had an opinion that this guy actually gave him a promotion. However, there are too few people who can be so conscientious, and they don't want to be promoted, but they also want to complete the task, how many people can be so conscientious since ancient times?
"Okay, you don't have to worry, there's something good for you next. And when you reach your new position, you will be able to continue to complete the corresponding tasks. And when the time comes, your authority will be greater, and the process of completing the task will definitely be smoother than when you were in Guangzhou. So you can rest assured that you don't have to worry about anything difficult at all. Jingwen said.
"Please let me know clearly, where will I be transferred this time?" Wang Xuance continued to ask. (To be continued......)
