Yang Liuli's name is in the south of the Yangtze River, especially among literati and ink writers, it is really known to everyone, even these officials also admire him.

It's just that there are very few people who can see his face on weekdays, and he never thought that today, in order to catch Chu Yi and wash the dust, he actually invited this famous glass girl from Jiangnan to dance in person.

Yang Liuli stepped forward with lotus steps, bowed, and said crisply: "Liuli has seen all of you!" ”

Chu Yi sat in the middle, high up, condescendingly looking at Yang Liuli who came in full costume, his expression was very calm, his eyes swept over Yang Liuli, he seemed to be smiling, and bowed his head slightly.

Xu Li, the Duke of Wei Guo, who was sitting on the side, noticed the change in Chu Yi's expression, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Today, there is Miss Lao Liuli who will dance for everyone. ”

Yang Liuli bowed slightly and said, "This is Liuli's honor!" ”

Between the words, I could hear the melodious sound of the piano, and then the sound of various musical instruments gradually came, Yang Liuli's body danced with the melodious music, sometimes like the empty valley orchid, sometimes like a fluttering Hong, everyone in the field only watched as if they were fascinated, and they were all immersed in Yang Liuli's graceful dance.

After a song, Yang Liuli's delicate cheeks were slightly flushed, her chest was slightly undulating because of her breathing, and there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead.

When everyone was overwhelmed by Yang Liuli's elegance, in the silent hall, only a calm voice was heard: "Not bad!" ”

"Smack, smack!"

Seeing Chu Yi's expression with a bit of appreciation, he looked at Yang Liuli after the dance, and clapped his hands in praise.

The others reacted at this moment, and hurriedly clapped their hands with Chu Yi.

Xu Li stroked his beard and smiled at Yang Liuli: "Miss Liuli's song is much more amazing than the song in the Prince's Mansion, could it be that this is the real skill of Miss Liuli. ”

The surrounding officials and nobles were stunned at first, looked at Yang Liuli, and then at Chu Yi, and couldn't help but chuckle.

Yang Liuli's face showed a little shyness, and he bowed and said: "Don't make fun of Liuli, the old man doesn't want to make fun of Liuli, Liuli is just playing on the spot, so that there is a breakthrough in skills!" ”

Xu Li looked at Yang Liuli's shy appearance and couldn't help laughing and said to Chu Yi: "Overseer, this girl is the famous Liuli girl in the south of the Yangtze River, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, can be said to be proficient in everything, the old man heard that the overseer is full of poetry and books, and it happens that the Liuli girl is also a famous and talented woman in my Jiangnan, and it is expected that she must have a lot of common language with the overseer." ”

Chu Yi couldn't help but smile slightly: "Oh, I never thought that Miss Liuli was still a talented girl!" ”

Yang Liuli bowed and said: "The little girl is shallow, how can she be worthy of the title of a talented woman, but the little woman once heard Yang Shengongzi mention that the overseer reads poetry and books, and her knowledge cannot be compared with many scholars in the court." ”

Hearing Yang Liuli mention Yang Shen, Chu Yi couldn't help but squint his eyes, for Yang Shen, Chu Yi could only say that it was a pity.

Because of Yang Tinghe, the Son of Heaven was angry and then implicated the Yang family, and Yang Shen, as the son of Yang Tinghe, was involved in this right and wrong, and its fate can be imagined.

Thinking about the desolate and atmospheric rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water, the waves sweeping away the heroes, Chu Yi couldn't help but sigh, Yang Shen is dead, I am afraid that no one can make this majestic "Linjiang Immortal" anymore.

His mind was slightly in a trance, and Chu Yi couldn't help but say, "Oh, it turns out that the glass girl still knows Yang Yongxiu!" ”

Yang Liuli's face showed a little sadness and said: "In the past, Yang Gongzi once pointed out the way of Liuli's poetry, but he never thought that after a goodbye, it would be goodbye!" ”

Xu Li couldn't help coughing lightly when she heard this, Yang Liuli came back to her senses, and bowed to Chu Yi with a little trepidation on her face: "Liuli lost her words, please forgive the chief manager!" ”

Why did Yang Shen die, although it was said that the Son of Heaven ordered the Yang family to be beheaded, but this has something to do with Chu Yi, no wonder Xu Li coughed lightly to remind Yang Liuli.

Chu Yi waved his hand, sighed lightly, and said: "With the matter of cultivation, even if it is the governor who can do anything about it, Yang Tinghe is suspected of rebellion, and under the anger of the Son of Heaven, it is a pity to use the cultivation to learn." ”

His eyes fell on Yang Liuli, and Chu Yi said: "The girl doesn't have to be afraid, the governor will not be angry with others because of this matter, and the governor and the use of the repair book have a deep friendship, today the girl can still read and use the repair, which shows that the girl is a person who thinks of the old." ”

Yang Liuli bowed to the ground and said: "Liuli bows to the Governor!" ”

The surrounding officials and nobles really pinched a cold sweat for Yang Liuli, lest Chu Yi's anger would turn to Yang Liuli.

Now seeing Chu Yi so generous, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that he was afraid that something would go wrong with Yang Liuli again, Xu Li, as a half landlord, waved his hand at Yang Liuli and said, "Miss Liuli is also tired when she wants to come, so why don't you go down and rest first." ”

Yang Liuli got up, glanced at Chu Yi with a bright gaze, bent down to bow to everyone, dragged a long ribbon, and floated away.

Chu Yi's gaze withdrew from Yang Liuli, and there was something thoughtful in his eyes.

On the other hand, Xu Li, who was on the side, noticed Chu Yi's expression, and said in a low voice with a somewhat old smile on the corner of his mouth: "The old man has already arranged it for the overseer, and the overseer should be able to talk with the glass girl at night!" ”

Chu Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xu Li blinking at himself, Chu Yi reacted at this time, and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Old Guogong, you are ......"

Xu Li stroked his beard and chuckled: "Don't say anything, the glass girl can be called a dazzling pearl in my Jiangnan, if she can make a bed and fold quilts for the overseer, it is also her blessing!" ”

Saying that, Xu Li said to Wang Yue on the side: "The princess has a beautiful wife and concubine, but he doesn't want to advocate Luo Yi or two for the governor, shouldn't he be punished!" ”

Wang Yue was slightly stunned, and after reacting, he couldn't help but raise his glass to Chu Yi and said: "Our family respects the head of the family, as the old man said, but our family was negligent!" ”

Chu Yi couldn't help but pout, in this era of the Ming Dynasty, even an internal servant can marry a beautiful wife and concubine, just look at Wang Yue to know this.

Previously, he vaguely felt that something seemed wrong with Yang Liuli, so he took a few more glances at him, but he never wanted Xu Li to have a misunderstanding.

The strange look towards the glass girl that he unintentionally revealed was in the eyes of an old fox like Xu Li, even if he really didn't mean it to him, I was afraid that the other party would find a way to get the glass girl to his side.

With a somewhat wry smile, Chu Yi said: "The old man has misunderstood, Chu ......"

Xu Li held the wine glass and said to Chu Yi: "The overseer doesn't need to explain, my father understands!" ”

Seeing Xu Li's face wrinkled together with a smile, Chu Yi decisively gave up the explanation.

The banquet dispersed, and with a bit of wine, Xu Li invited Chu Yi and Wang Yue to come to a quiet room, and the three of them sat down.

Xu Li drank the sobering soup, the wine faded a little, and he looked at Chu Yi with a straight expression and said: "The overseer came to Jiangnan this time, and His Majesty sent a secret decree to order the duke to help the overseer with all his might, I don't know what the overseer is here for?" ”

Chu Yi really didn't know about the secret message sent by Zhu Houzhao to Xu Li, but Chu Yi also understood that Zhu Houzhao was worried about his safety.

After taking a sip of tea, Chu Yi looked at Xu Li and said, "But I don't hide it from my old man, Chu came to Nanjing this time for the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard!" ”

Xu Li's eyes narrowed when he heard this, and his mind turned.

At the beginning, Chu Yi instructed Jiao Fang to spread his intention to set up a city division, and Chu Yi set up a water division, and his series of actions, as long as he was not a fool, he could see that Chu Yi was preparing to open the sea.

Seeing that it is not a comprehensive opening of the sea, then at least it also has the meaning of opening the sea, and this series of actions is clearly preparing for the opening of the sea.

With Xu Li's personal connections, the turmoil above the court naturally can't hide from Xu Li, the old prince.

At this time, Xu Li was not very surprised when he saw Chu Yi mention Longjiang Bao Shipyard, the largest shipyard in the south of the Yangtze River is Longjiang Bao Shipyard.

In the past, part of Zheng He's treasure ship was built in the coastal area of Fujian, and part of it was supervised by Longjiang Bao Shipyard, although now Longjiang Bao Shipyard has declined, but it is still the largest shipyard in the south of the Yangtze River under the control of the imperial court.

Whether it is to open the sea or to form a sailor, the ship is the foundation of all this, I thought that Chu Yi would come step by step, but I never thought that Chu Yi came here for the shipyard this time.

Brushing his beard, Xu Li nodded slowly and said, "It seems that the overseer does have the intention of opening the sea for trade!" ”

Chu Yi looked at Xu Li and said, "I don't know what the old man thinks of Chu's move?" ”

Xu Li couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "As long as it is Your Majesty's decision, this Duke will fully support it, and the Overseer thinks so!" ”

Secretly scolding the old fox in his heart, Chu Yi looked at Wang Yue and said, "Prince, I asked you to collect information about Longjiang Treasure Shipyard before, I don't know how the prince collected it?" ”

Even in front of Xu Li, Chu Yi asked Wang Yue directly, Wang Yue nodded slightly and said: "Our family got the news of the general manager, so we let people collect the news of Longjiang Bao Shipyard, after investigation, Longjiang Bao Shipyard now has more than 300 craftsmen, of which each workshop can still operate normally, only ...... Only ......"

Seeing Wang Yue's hesitant look, Chu Yi said lightly: "If there is anything to say, the prince can say it bluntly!" ”

Wang Yue gritted his teeth and said, "There is only one point, the wood needed for shipbuilding that Longjiang Bao Shipyard has accumulated before is in short supply. ”

Chu Yi chuckled and said: "Oh, if this governor is not mistaken, Longjiang Bao Shipyard, as a government-run shipyard, will regularly store a certain amount of timber every year, and there are not many new ships built by the shipyard over the years, so it is said that a large number of fine timber needed for shipbuilding should be accumulated." ”

Wang Yue smiled bitterly: "Feng Qing, the director of Longjiang Bao Shipyard, explained that those timbers have already been secretly sold to those maritime merchants by officials up and down Longjiang Bao Shipyard, so now there are only hundreds of stones of wood in the warehouse of Longjiang Bao Shipyard!" ”

With a bang, Chu Yi slapped on the coffee table, although he had expected this, but suddenly he heard that there were only hundreds of stones of wood left in the huge Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, and even Chu Yi couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Xu Li coughed lightly and said: "The overseer is angry, but it's not worth it to be angry for a group of corrupt people, I think the prince has already replaced the overseer in addition to them!" ”

Wang Yue took a deep breath and said, "Our family has taken their confessions, beheaded all the more than ten officials involved in the Longjiang Bao Shipyard, and sent someone to seal all the inventory of the Longjiang Bao Shipyard. ”

Shipbuilding requires more than just wood, but also a wide range of materials, such as lacquer, cast iron, linen, etc.

Waving his hand, Chu Yi nodded and said, "What is the situation of those craftsmen, if this governor can transfer the materials needed for shipbuilding, these craftsmen can start building big ships?" ”

Wang Yue hurriedly said: "At this point, the overseer can rest assured, these craftsmen are all skilled old craftsmen, fortunately, those officials do not dare to sell these old craftsmen." ”

There were only so many old craftsmen left in a huge shipyard, and Chu Yi didn't know whether to be angry or happy.

If nothing else, when those officials hollow out the huge treasure shipyard, I am afraid that the idea will be hit on these old craftsmen.

By that time, these old craftsmen will probably become objects that can be exchanged for gold and silver in the eyes of those officials.

With a sigh of relief, Chu Yi glanced at Wang Yue and said, "Longjiang Bao Shipyard is extremely important to the next plan of this governor, so please ask the prince to worry about everything." ”

Wang Yue said sharply: "Although the Overseer can rest assured, with my Wang Yue here, the Overseer will definitely be optimistic about this Longjiang Treasure Shipyard and build treasure ships for the Overseer." ”

Chu Yi nodded, his eyes fell on Xu Li, and said: "The old man is sitting in Nanjing City, and the affairs of Longjiang Bao Shipyard also need to be taken care of by the old man. ”

Xu Li chuckled and said, "Don't worry, this is a matter within the public's duty!" ”

Regarding the matter of the Longjiang Shipyard, Chu Yi told Wang Yue again, and then returned to the place where Wang Yue had prepared for him.

Spring and Autumn Annex

Chu Yi got down from the sedan chair, and at the same time, Wang Yue and Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, also got out of the sedan chair, and they heard Wang Yue say with a smile: "Overseer, this is a place where our family specially selected for the overseer, bordering the Qinhuai River, and it is a courtyard with excellent scenery in Nanjing. ”

Just by looking at this exquisite courtyard, you can know that Wang Yue is really attentive, and I don't know who the original owner of this courtyard is, but as the eunuch with the most powerful voice in Nanjing City except for Wei Guogong, Wang Yue opened his mouth, but I am afraid that few people dare to resist.

Wang Yue glanced at the courtyard and arched his hand: "The overseer is tired of the boat, but it's time to rest." ”

And Xu Li, the Duke of Wei, said to Chu Yi with a strange smile on his face: "This Duke has prepared a gift for the Overseer, and I have sent someone to send it to another courtyard, and I don't know if I can give the Overseer a surprise!" ”
