"You can't talk nonsense, who has passed through the flowers!" Yu Mingxi unnaturally turned his head.

Mo Li saw his reddened ears, and couldn't help laughing: "Huh!? Still embarrassed? ”

Yu Mingxi rolled her eyes: "What's so embarrassing about this!" I've had a few good friends before, but since I met you...... "I haven't had anyone in my eyes anymore."

Knowing that he was speechless, Yu Mingxi swallowed the second half of the sentence back, coughed lightly, and changed his words: "After I met you, I was only busy doing business, so how could I have time to find a girl." ”

Mo Li pursed her lips slightly, this black cauldron was inexplicably back, and she couldn't say anything, so she could only change the topic: "Now that the old man Yu is gone, what are your plans in the future?" ”

"There are those old dart masters in the game, but I don't have to worry too much. On your side, I heard that you proposed Minglang to be the chief manager, do you want to be the shopkeeper? Yuming Shimo asked, holding the edge of the teacup.

Mo Li spread his hands: "At first, I just felt that it was inconvenient to always show up, so I wanted to leave some things on the bright side to Minglang to do." But now that I'm like this, I can't do it if I don't want to be a shopkeeper. ”

Yu Mingxi nodded: "That's okay, the girl's family shouldn't show up." ”

"I'm about to become a mother, what kind of girl's family." Mo Li smiled.

"Anyway, you're a woman, and sometimes it's really inconvenient. Minglang is also a safe person, and it is easy to have him to help you. Yu Mingxi waved his hand, "I came to the capital this time, on the one hand, I am not worried about the current situation, and I have another thing to discuss with you." ”

Mo Li raised her eyebrows: "What's the good business that can't be done?" ”

"Yes and no." Yu Mingxi sipped his tea and said, "I want to form a fleet, what does Moxi think?" ”

The idea of forming a fleet was mentioned by Mo Li two years ago, but Yu Mingxi was not the head of the family at that time, and he was subject to Old Man Yu, so this matter has been delayed.

Now that it was mentioned by Yu Mingxi again, Mo Li was naturally very interested, her eyes lit up, and she said: "I have already translated that navigation chart, and Achu has found someone to read it, saying that it is available." It's just that if you really want to go to sea, it's better to find a guide who is familiar with the sea route for the first few times. ”

"That's not a problem. I told them about this when the Nanyang caravan came last summer, and they were very interested. Yu Mingxi paused and said, "It's just that going to sea is not like doing business inland, and the cost may be much larger." ”

Mo Li frowned slightly and thought about it, it would take at least half a year to go to sea once, and the goods he brought with him would not only be more in quantity than when he was doing business in the inland, but also more variety.

The most important thing is to have ships and crews to form a fleet, and this cost will naturally not be a decimal.

"The cargo isn't too much of a problem, but ...... ship and crew?" Mo Li raised the question in his heart, you must know that there is no naval war in this era, and there is no need for all countries to carry out coastal defense, and the sea has become the best defense. Therefore, the ships in the Great Zhou are limited to river transportation, and it is still unknown whether such ships can be used for sea transportation.

Yu Mingxi smiled indifferently: "I revealed this idea to the caravans in Nanyang last summer, and they were also more interested and willing to sell the ship to me. However, I haven't consulted you yet, so I didn't directly agree. ”

"Can I buy one first?" Mo Li thought of the planes, ships and even weapons in his previous life, and some countries also bought them from developed countries.

"One? That's enough, the Nanyang caravans come at least five or six ships at a time, and sometimes there are more than a dozen. Yu Mingxi shook his head repeatedly.

"Who said they were going to go to sea with this ship." Mo Li glanced at him with disgust, "Da Zhou is not without people who know how to build ships, use this ship as a model, know what a sailing ship is like, and build as many as you want in the future." ”

"That's a good idea, I didn't think of it! There are people who can build ships in the Huaiqing area, but in the past, they only built some small boats for fishing in the offshore waters. Yu Mingxi immediately thought in his heart where to find a suitable shipbuilder.

Of course, this idea is good, if it sounds good, it is called the introduction of technology, and if it is not good, it is a copycat.

"The fleet's affairs are not in a hurry, just operate slowly." Mo Li pursed her lips and smiled, she knew that forming a fleet was not a matter of being in a hurry. Besides, even if you buy a ship, you will have to wait until the weather is warm and the Nanyang caravan comes.

Yu Mingxi nodded: "I just want to hear your thoughts first, if you have no opinion, I can start working." Now that the situation in the west is unstable, I still have to pay attention to the few semicolons on the other side of the dart board. ”

Speaking of the current situation, Mo Li sighed lightly: "Finally, there are no external troubles, and now there are internal worries." The most unlucky are the ordinary people. ”

"There's no way around it." Yu Mingxi lowered his voice and said, "However, I heard the news from the west, the Jin Dynasty is strict in discipline, and the soldiers are not allowed to spoil the people. ”

"He's going to buy people's hearts." A sneer overflowed from the corner of Mo Li's lips, "As long as ordinary people can live a good life, it doesn't matter who is in power." But who knows if he will be like this after a long time. ”

Although Mo Li didn't have much contact with Zhong Hanchi, he also knew that he was not a good-natured person. His purpose was very clear, to advance eastward, go straight to the capital, and finally sit on that dragon chair. This goal cannot be achieved overnight, and it will definitely not be possible to rely on the soldiers and horses in his hands now. If you want to recruit troops, financial resources are only one aspect.

No matter how rich you are, it is in vain that no one wants to serve. Only by winning the hearts of the people can we expand the number of people more smoothly, so buying the hearts of the people is of course the first thing.

"I'm afraid the next step is to expand the number of people and recruit the Magi." Mo Li said lightly, "However, I don't think he can succeed. ”

"Why are you so sure?" This time, it was Yu Mingxi who raised his eyebrows, he knew that Mo Li was quite accomplished in business, but he had never discussed political affairs with her.

Mo Li smiled indifferently: "Intuition." ”

I thought that this little woman had a glimpse of today's form, but I didn't expect that she only relied on the word "intuition".

Yu Mingxi burst out laughing: "This kind of thing also relies on intuition? ”

"Haven't you heard that a woman's sixth sense is accurate? Besides, the imperial court is not without generals who can fight, can it really let the King of Jin succeed? Mo Li said it very easily, but his heart was a little heavy.

Yu Mingxi's eyes dimmed slightly, and he asked, "Murong Chu will lead the troops to battle?" ”

"I don't know." Mo Li refilled the cups of the two of them with tea, and sighed helplessly, "What will happen in the future...... Who knows. ”
