Zhuojun County Chengfu.

Wei Zheng's family was eating.

In fact, Li Chongjiu is now in charge of the six counties, and the time in Yuyi Town is more than the time in Youzhou, so Li Chongjiu's Zhuo County Guard is only in name, and Wei Zheng is the veritable leader of Zhuo County.

It is inevitable that the number one official will be busy, and Wei Zheng is a person who likes to take care of the affairs of his subordinates, so it has become Wei Zheng's habit to correct official documents while eating.

There were simply four or five dishes on the table, and Mrs. Wei knew Wei Zheng's habits, so she put several dishes in front of Wei Zheng together. Because Wei Zheng is never picky about food, he only eats the dish closest to him.

There was once a joke where an official asked Mrs. Wei if he only liked to eat mutton. Mrs. Wei said, "How is this possible. ”

An official said: "At a banquet, I saw that Wei Juncheng didn't move any other dishes, but the mutton was eaten up. ”

Mrs. Wei said with a smile: "It must be that the mutton is the closest to Wei Juncheng, so he ate it all." ”

Sure enough, at the second banquet, the officials changed a plate of dishes to Wei Zheng, and the dishes were also eaten by him.

Since then, this matter has become a joke of Wei Zheng in the officialdom of Zhuo County.

Looking at Wei Zheng's appearance of eating, the family could only mix all kinds of dishes in one plate and put them in front of Wei Zheng.

"Lord Qiyu Juncheng, the county Sima is here."

Wei Zheng nodded, put aside half of the meal, and walked straight into the public hall. Mrs. Wei hurriedly ordered to heat up the rice and eat it later.

Wei Zheng and Lu Chengqing met at the moment, and Lu Chengqing said: "Lord Juncheng, Zhang Jinshu, the general of Gao Kaidao, ordered someone to report that they have killed Gao Kaidao and are now surrendering to our county." ”

Wei Zheng pinched his beard and said, "This is another county,"

Lu Chengqing said: "It's good to subdue, but Zhang Jinshu implored Shanggu Gong to make him the Marquis of Yuyang, and reward him with tens of millions of dollars to reward the soldiers." ”

When Wei Zheng heard this, he said: "How can it be reasonable, the reward is determined by the Shanggu Gong, isn't this a coercion to invite a reward?" ”

Lu Chengqing said: "Yes, after hearing that Zhang Jinshu killed Gao Kaidao's family, he opened a killing ring in the city, beheaded Gao Kaidao's subordinates, and plundered their families. ”

Wei Zheng said: "This day is angry and resentful, I want to explain this matter to Shanggu Gong." ”

Lu Chengqing said: "But after all, we relied on this person to take Yuyang County without blood, if this person is punished, some people will say that we are treacherous, and I am afraid that no one will surrender to us in the future." ”

Wei Zheng said: "There are twists and turns, and it is not possible to dedicate the city to the merits. Where is Uetani now? ”

Lu Chengqing said: "After capturing Lulong County, Shanggu Gong has already taken a step after General Chi and led five hundred cavalry away, thinking that it should be Beiping County. ”

"Well, isn't it in Lulong County?" Wei Zheng asked, Beiping County and Yuyang County are both lower counties, and there is only one county, which is of course incomparable compared to a large county like Zhuo County and Jiuxian.

Lu Chengqing said: "It seems that I am not there, I heard that I went to inspect the shipping together with Lin Ming Mansion of Liangxiang County and Zhou Sicao of the Water Transport Division." ”

"Sea freight?" Wei Zheng was stunned.

Beiping County, the mouth of the Sancha River in Lulong County.

The reason why this place is named is that it is the estuary of the Haihe River, Lushui and Weishui rivers, which can be directly connected to the canal.

Li Chongjiu, Lin Dangfeng, and Zhou Bo were stationed on the hill together.

The river flows into the sea, Li Chongjiu looked at the Bohai Bay in front of him, the ancient Bohai Sea was called Canghai, or Beihai, and later changed its name because of Bohai County. It is not far from the entrance of the Yellow River, and the Yellow River is diverted from Yanshan County, Bohai County, to the sea, and it is only seventy or eighty miles away from the mouth of the Sancha River.

Compared with today's port, this Sancha estuary is just a small barren fishing village, and there are only more than 2,000 households in Beiping County, and there are only a few lonely fishing boats on the sea, which feels desolate.

When Li Chongjiu rode into the village, a small fishing village with only two or three hundred people, he was frightened when he saw Li Chongjiu's large force of cavalry.

The fishermen, who were making nets, did not even have the slightest courage to interrogate, so they stopped what they were doing, and then the village chief came.

Li Chongjiu chatted with the village chief for a few words, and learned that because the fishing village was too remote, almost no one came here, and the news was blocked, and he didn't even know that the world was in chaos right now. The village chief thought that he was still using the era name of Emperor Wen of Sui when he was in Leshou.

Seeing this, everyone shook their heads, and they also knew how closed it was. When the fishermen learned of Li Chongjiu's identity, they were all surprised at the moment and hurriedly asked about the outside world.

Lin Dangfeng, Zhou Bo saw that this place was barren like this, and glanced at each other at the moment. Lin Dangfeng said to Li Chongjiu: "Shanggu Gong, if you want to set up a port for shipping, I'm afraid it will cost a lot. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "We went to Lulong County before, and we saw that this place has not experienced any war and has little damage, the only deficiency is that it is sparsely populated, and we have absorbed displaced people here, claiming to be exempt from taxes within three years." ”

"But even if it's tax-free, it's barren, so how can it attract displaced people?" Zhou Bo couldn't help asking.

Li Chongjiu said: "Salt farm, this wharf can set up a salt farm here, boil brine for salt, I believe that the salt here will not be inferior to Yanshan County in Bohai County, when the time comes, I can allow you to sell salt among the people." ”

This Bohai Bay, from Yuyang County to Yanshan County of Bohai County, is now the largest sea salt area in China, Changlu Salt District. Today, the largest salt area is actually only developed in Yanshan County, Bohai County.

The so-called Yanshan County, in addition to the mouth of the Yellow River, was originally called Wudi County, after the opening of the emperor for 18 years, Emperor Wen of Sui set up a salt official here, boiled the sea for salt, renamed Yanshan County, Yanshan said that the salt here is piled up like a mountain. In Yanshan County, after the sea salt is prepared, it directly takes the waterway from the Yellow River, enters the Yongji Canal, and is directly transported to the Eastern Capital.

Hearing Li Chongjiu say this, Lin Dangfeng and Zhou Bo both nodded, if it is true that salt production is not inferior to Yanshan County, then for profitable businessmen, they will try to open a salt farm. If you can open a salt factory here, the salt ship will be transported to Jixian County along the Yongji Canal, and then transported to Yuyi Town by land, which is a financial road for merchants.

Zhou Bo and Lin Dangfeng were all pondering when they heard this, thinking that it would be profitable, and they all said at the moment: "We will immediately go back to discuss with the salt merchants of Zhuo County, and jointly open a salt farm here, I don't know how many shares of the salt farm will be in Youzhou." ”

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "I don't want a point, but you want to help me build a naval port here, and in the future I will set up a naval army governor here, and my Youzhou naval army is also stationed here." ”

Zhou Bo and Lin Dangfeng listened to Li Chongjiu and handed over the salt affairs to their businessmen, just in exchange for a port dock, and the heart said that this business is still very cost-effective, after all, the port dock is only for a while, but the operation of the salt farm is endless with money for life and life.

However, Zhou Bo still said: "Shanggu Gong, although he doesn't practice tactics, he also knows a thing or two about the navy, the key to water warfare is the size of the ship, the second is whether the bow and crossbow are sharp, and the third is whether to hit it downstream." In the future, if the enemy's navy goes up through the canal and cuts off the passage between Zhuo County and Beiping County, the navy will return to the west and will inevitably fight. When the time comes, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the war. ”

When Li Chongjiu heard Zhou Bo say this, he couldn't help but nod and said: "This statement makes a lot of sense, but my navy uses it, not for the rivers, but for the Beihai." ”

"At sea?"

Li Chongjiu said: "Yes, I want to set up a large dock here, and in the future build a fleet composed of Wanshi Hongge giant ships to conquer Goguryeo and the Bohai Sea, Donglai." ”

Listening to Li Chongjiu's words, Lin Dangfeng and Zhou Bo were stunned.

"Ten Thousand Stone Ships?"

The ancients had a proverb that water does not carry 10,000 stones, and the ancients believed that the heaviest ship is no more than 1,000 stones, and if it exceeds 10,000 stones, the ship will sink when it travels on the water.

So 10,000 stones is a limit and a standard.

Of course, Zhou Bo and Lin Dangfeng also didn't believe that Li Chongjiu's statement that the 10,000-stone ship could float on the sea may be an exaggeration.

Lin Dangfeng immediately dissuaded and said: "We businessmen often say that it is better to buy a ship than to build a ship, and it is better to rent a ship than to buy a ship. ”

Li Chongjiu said: "Yes, but I don't have the heart to build a naval army, if I can, I may take the ship from Donglai County." ”

Donglai County was the base of the Sui Dynasty's naval army.

Speaking of the Great Sui Navy is also famous, Yang Suping Chen, built more than ten five-tooth ships, down the river. And now Yu Wenhua and the Zuo Wuwei general Chen Liang, who stayed in Jiangdu to defend the town, he once led the naval army across the sea to the Ryukyus and captured thousands of people.

Later, this Great Sui Navy was handed over to Laihu'er, who was born in the Jiangnan Shi clan. In the seventh year of the Great Cause, when conquering Goguryeo, Lai Hu'er led the Great Sui Navy, went to sea from Donglai, crossed the Bohai Sea, and the history books said that the Sui Dynasty Navy Army traveled thousands of miles, floated into the sea, entered the Weishui, and landed from the Nakdong River to attack Pyongyang.

In the tenth year of the Great Cause, when the third expedition to Goguryeo, he still came to Hu'er to lead the naval army, went to sea from Donglai, landed on the Liaodong Peninsula, and attacked Beisha City.

Now Hu'er is killed by Yu Wenhua in the change of Jiangdu, but this elite naval army of the Great Sui is still stationed in Donglai County, and there are enough thousands of big ships to cross the sea.

Lin Dangfeng and Zhou Bo, I don't know how to master Li Chongjiu's ships in Donglai County, after all, there is still a Bohai County on land. But since Li Chongjiu has the intention of setting up a salt field on this seashore and a naval governor's mansion, then as Li Chongjiu's subordinates, they must go all out to help Li Chongjiu complete this matter.

The three of them are still discussing carefully, but for Li Chongjiu's water army, which is now in infancy, there is still a lot missing.

At this time, a fast horse, galloped from the hillside, and reported to Li Chongjiu: "Report to Shanggu Gong, Wei Juncheng is coming to report, Zhang Jinshu of Yuyang County killed Gao Kaidao, and is willing to raise the county to surrender to us, this is a letter from Wei Juncheng." ”

Lin Dangfeng and Zhou Bo immediately congratulated Li Chongjiu, and said: "Congratulations to Shanggu Gong, after taking Beiping County, we will get Yuyang County, so the six counties of Youzhou are all under our control." ”

Li Chongjiu nodded with a smile and said, "Don't be busy, let's see what Wei Zhengxin said first." ”

Li Chongjiu opened the letter and looked at it immediately, but after reading it, the brows on his forehead were furrowed. (To be continued.) )
