Chapter 210, Taishou

In fact, seriously speaking, Liu Feng's request is really not high.

There are already hundreds of cities in Huaxia District, and most of them are directly exchanged for meritorious service.

Small cities are within a radius of 100 miles, of course, this is only theoretical, in fact, it is impossible for every city to have such a vast territory, a county is only hundreds of miles away, how can there be so much land to distribute to everyone.

If there is a border with other cities, I'm sorry, if you can't go to war, you can only divide it, one person and half.

If someone else develops into a city and you are still a town, sorry, you can only be subordinate to others.

In order to develop rapidly, the leading players spare no effort to squeeze other players within the territory, as long as they are not from their own guild, at least half of the profits must be handed over. They want not only food and money, but also all kinds of other supplies.

If you don't pay, it's okay, anyway, if you're in someone else's territory, it's easy to pinch you, and the loss is much greater than handing over half.

And Liu Feng only asks for as much as taxes, which can definitely be called kind. It's a pity that players who are used to Liu Feng's previous inaction are very resistant to the sudden news. They all felt that it was not authentic for the First City Lord to come and squeeze them after he had developed so well.

Also, if a cat is used to being fed fish by its owner, it will never go to hunt rats again. The incidents of Shengmien fighting rice hatred have always emerged in China one after another.

Liu Feng didn't mind what the lord player thought, compared to other city lords, he felt that he was already very merciful. Of course, he only released the news, and did not form a text for people to hold the handle, as for the lord players to choose whether they want to or not.

If he is unwilling to pay, Liu Feng will not be reluctant, but his future development will be seriously hindered, and various situations may occur. And when he becomes a prince and can have the final say himself, maybe he will directly bulldoze their territory.

This is just a trivial matter, mainly because Liu Feng is the first city lord, and he has not had this kind of behavior before before he was hyped by players for a while.

When the news spread, the lord players in the Hou official were overjoyed and encouraged each other to develop quickly. Otherwise, when the first city lord takes control of the marquis, I am afraid that they will also enjoy the same treatment.

Bai Jian continued to recruit and train the army, and although he lost a lot of losses in battle, he soon recovered 400,000 again. After Shanyue surrendered and most of them were moved out, Liu Feng recruited 100,000 young men from it to join the Yongning County Army, and those low-level generals in Shanyue, as well as the remaining seven or eight fourth-order generals, were forced to join the county army.

Liu Feng knew that they were reluctant and would rather be the king of the mountain in his own tribe, but he also believed that Bai Jian would make these people obedient. After a few years, the Shanyue people who moved out got used to farming, and everything was not a problem.

The navy has also expanded to 50,000 men, and training is being intensified every day. Liu Feng had already decided that when the initial training was successful, he would send them out to exterminate some small pirate gangs to accumulate experience and prepare for the future entry into Wu County.

Although it is a bit difficult to raise four or five hundred thousand soldiers in a small county, Liu Feng has just confiscated the three major families and the Shanyue tribes, and he has a lot of money, so there will be no problem for a while.

Yan Wen has been stationed in Yizhou, and in the past two years, he needs to completely integrate Yizhou to form a joint force to provide strong support for Liu Feng's development. Two years later, Liu Feng will officially inform the imperial court and find Yizhou.

Yu Wenlin and another Yiren city lord, after returning to Yizhou to pacify the previous rulers, returned to Yongning again and officially joined Liu Feng's command. Yu Wenlin's former staff, Shang An, a fourth-order political general, was appointed as the deputy city lord of Guiyun City, assisted by Lou Chengye, and Wang Ying led the troops to garrison.

Liu Feng's marquis Xixiang Youzhi has been exempted, but because Xixiang's current residence is in the alien city of Guiyun City, there is no one except for Youyun Ao, Youzhi and the three elders. Shang Sheng wanted to directly put Liu Feng's subordinates in this position, but County Lieutenant Zhang disagreed, he didn't want to make too much trouble with County Lieutenant Zhang, so he had to let it go, but he didn't send anyone else.

Shang Sheng watched Zhang Xianwei die, Liu Feng's strength was already so strong, why don't you hurry up and ask for forgiveness, anyway, it is a fact that Xixiang has changed hands, why are you still entangled in the previous little thing? The fate of the three major families in Yongning is proof of this. However, if County Lieutenant Zhang does this, he will be eliminated by Liu Feng in the future, and his position will be more stable.

After cleaning up the mess in government affairs, Liu Feng began to build medium-sized building ships. The consumption of this thing is too great, and it is very difficult to manufacture even small building ships, let alone medium-sized building ships, with a single captain and his subordinate craftsmen.

It's not that there is no money, it's not that there is no technology, it's that there are no people, there are not enough materials for shipbuilding.

So Liu Feng issued a notice to buy wood for shipbuilding from players in Hai'an Town. As long as it can pass the inspection of the shipbuilder, it will be purchased at a high price. In addition, iron ore, furs, cloth, grain, and other materials used in the war were also long-term income at market prices.

Maybe some people don't want to buy it, but the lord player knows better that in Liu Feng's territory, it is not possible to develop military strength, and he may be destroyed by Liu Feng one day. If you want to be stable, you can hide behind Liu Feng and farm with peace of mind, so that you will have a good income.

In June, Liu Feng received an official letter from the Taishou Mansion, asking him to go to the county as soon as possible. Because Taishou has received the edict from the imperial court, he is going to Luoyang to take up his post, just waiting for the new Taishou to hand over.

Liu Feng didn't understand why Taishou had to see him, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary. But since the boss has a trick, he can only arrange government affairs and prepare to go north to Sanyin.

The Huiji clan is near the mouth of the sea in Zhejiang, such as Shanyin, Shangyu, Yuyao, Gouzhang and other counties.

Bai Jian arranged military affairs, but these 3,000 elites accompanied him, and the newly surrendered Shanyue leaders also brought them; Wang Yu accompanied the escort with two small building boats, 10 fighting ships, and a number of other ships.

When you're ready, head north along the coast. Within a few days, the Zhoushan Islands of the later generations passed and entered Hangzhou Bay.

In fact, Liu Feng really wanted to see the Qiantang River in the game, and listened to the discussion on the player forum, which was very broad and vast. But unfortunately, Sanyin is no longer on the edge of the Qiantang River, so he can only give up.

Go south along the Cao'e River (I don't know if it's this name at this time), pass through Shangyu, enter Jingruo Lake, drive all the way to Shanyin.

The north of the mountain and the south of the water are called the yin, and the Huiji Shanyin is located at the northern foot of the Huiji Mountain, so it is named. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, Goujian, the king of Yue, was forced by his husband, and 5,000 remnants of the army were defeated and settled in Huiji Mountain, which is the capital of Yue. Gou Jian tried his courage here, and finally destroyed Wu.

Huiji is rich, and the richest place is San'in. However, compared with later generations, the development at this time was too little, and only experienced the initial development of Wu Yue hundreds of years ago. From the beginning of the Sun regime, to the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties, the land of Jiangdong was gradually developed, and it was not until the Anshi Rebellion that the population of the south surpassed that of the north for the first time.

Politically, the status of the Huiji people is not high, especially by the people of Wu County, I don't know if there is a reason why Wu and Yue fought against each other back then, anyway, Huiji may be able to produce a highly respected person, but there is no family recognized by the Central Plains Wang clan.

Under the banner of the magistrate of Yongning County, more than a dozen warships were not blocked, and they arrived all the way and docked at the dock outside Shanyin City.

The news of the arrival of the first city lord in Sanyin was spread by the players who saw it as soon as possible, and the players did not understand Liu Feng's purpose, so they stared at Liu Feng cautiously, and some of the stronger players began to meet to discuss how to treat Liu Feng.

The people in the city are all ranger players or representatives of guilds, and the lord players are all staying in their own territory, plus the time for discussion, it is too late to trouble Liu Feng for a while. Even if they came, Liu Feng wouldn't care.

Staying at the post house, Liu Feng sent someone to send a worship post, and he will go to the Taishou Mansion tomorrow to pay a visit.

Originally, I wanted to visit He Qi's house, but it was late when I arrived, so I had to wait to meet Taishou before going.

The next day, Liu Feng met his boss as he wished.

Looking at the age, he is about 60 years old, but he is still very energetic, his surname is Zhang, and his name is unknown. Liu Feng estimated that this was not a historical figure, but a system-generated figure, and he had specifically checked the information, but he did not find out who the current Huiji Taishou was.

"Zhiyuan, you are very good, you will fight for us in the Central Plains." As soon as they met, Zhang Taishou praised him.

"It's all cultivated by Lord Taishou, otherwise the lower officials wouldn't have today." Liu Feng said modestly.

"You don't have to be humble, that's a fact. Now that you are also a feudal person, your status is not lower than that of your own official, so there is no need to be like this. Zhang Taishou said.

"But Xiaguan is now working under the hands of adults, and respecting Shangguan is a must." Liu Feng will not be confused by rhetoric, he really thinks that he is on an equal footing with him.

Sure enough, Zhang Taishou nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then let it be!" There are two things that have brought you over this time. The first is to tell you, you did a good job in Yongning before, and you also showed your ability, I have reported this matter to the imperial court, maybe there will be good news soon. ”

"Thank you, sir." Liu Feng thanked again.

"Second, I want to ask, how have you completed the task assigned by Your Majesty? This official is about to enter the court in the near future, and if His Majesty asks, he will have an explanation. ”

"This is your real purpose, you want to sell well in front of the emperor. It's a pity that you don't know that the emperor is not as ignorant as you think. Liu Feng said secretly.

But on the surface, Liu Feng pretended to be embarrassed and said: "The lower officials are ashamed and have disappointed Your Majesty's high hopes. In fact, when Xia Guan came this time, he also asked for help from adults. ”

"What? Can't build a ship? What's with? There was no smile on Taishou's face.

"One is a technical problem, and the other is a material problem." Liu Feng sighed and said, "My lord doesn't know, when I was in Luoyang, the general didn't seem to want to see me, and it turned out to be what I am now." ”

"The general was a master before, he was not satisfied with the lower officials, can those who will be the prisoners give the lower officials a good face? As a result, none of the master shipbuilders who could build large warships were given to more than a dozen senior shipbuilders. As you know, senior shipbuilders are not able to build small building ships, let alone medium-sized building ships. ”

"In addition, Yongning is a small county, remote, sparsely populated, not wealthy, not enough financial, material, and human support, and seriously lacks all kinds of materials needed for shipbuilding, so it can only barely manufacture small building ships, and the success rate is very low. Xia Guan really had no choice, so he came to ask for help. If there is a medium-sized building ship, Xia Guan will immediately go to Yizhou to find His Majesty. If it's just a small building boat, the voyage is too short! ”

Liu Feng complained and said a lot of words.

Zhang Taishou was silent, and after thinking for a while, he said: "If this official gives you support in manufacturing medium-sized building ships, how long will it take for you to go to sea?" ”

"As long as there is a medium-sized building ship, Xia Guan can go to sea immediately." Liu Feng assured.

Taishou shook his head and said, "There are only 10 medium-sized building ships in the Huiji Water Army, which cannot be seconded to you, but this official can call the shots and transfer the shipbuilding materials of two master shipbuilders and two large ships to you, can you build a ship to go to sea in the shortest time?" The official also knows that the success rate of master shipbuilders in building medium-sized building ships is not high, but the shipbuilding materials of two large ships are enough to build 5 medium-sized building ships, and this officer hopes that by the time you arrive in Luoyang, you will have already gone to sea. ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the lower officials will do their best to complete the task." Liu Feng assured, "Even if there is a delay in the incident, before the arrival of the envoy of the imperial court, the lower officials will definitely go to sea." ”

Zhang Taishou smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, this is what the official wants, don't let the official down." By the way, you are the captain of the ship personally appointed by His Majesty, and you can also go directly to the skimming. ”

"The lower officials understand that the lords are enthusiastic about helping the lower officials, and I think the princes of the court will also praise it." Liu Feng instantly understood what Zhang Taishou meant.

"Okay, okay, you go, come for the first time, take a good stroll, and go back in two days with the things that the official has prepared for you." Zhang Taishou said with a smile.

"Thank you, my lord, I will retire!" Liu Feng said goodbye and left the Taishou Mansion.
