Chapter 657: Conquer Jiangnan
"The villain Zheng Feihuang paid a visit to Lord Taiwei. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" As soon as he saw Li You, Zheng Feihuang bowed to the worship, "The villain was confused before, and did a lot of wrong things, but fortunately, Lord Taiwei was kind and generous, regardless of previous suspicions, and treated me so kindly, the villain is really grateful, and he will do his best to serve Lord Taiwei in the future." ā
"Hehe, Mr. Zheng, please get up." Li You pulled Zheng Feihuang up with a smile, said a lot of good things, and staged a cordial scene in front of everyone, and the Jiangnan Dongdao officials and soldiers who came with Zheng Feihuang behind him were also relieved, it seems that Lord Taiwei really didn't mean to pursue them.
"The lower officials pay a visit to His Royal Highness King Yue." Then under the leadership of Zheng Feihuang, he saw King Yue, this pale young man's teeth gurgled and his whole body trembled, thinking that he was very frightened.
"Xiao Wang... Xiao Wang has no intention of being self-reliant, they are all ...... It's all ...... them," King Yue said hesitantly, lest Li You would receive wine and white silk after he sent him to Jiazhou.
"I know, I know, these subordinates all know that His Royal Highness King Yue was also involuntary before, and please rest assured that His Royal Highness King Yue will not have many clans today, Your Majesty must hope that His Royal Highness King Yue can live a long life." Now the family of King Qi has long died under the chaos army, the little emperor is still suffering in Longcheng, and the rest of the clans have died in the hands of the chaotic people and the northern captives, and there are only three families left in the clans of the near branch, King Fu, King Yue and King Shu, in order to recover Shuzhong in the future, Li You will also save the life of King Yue.
"It's good that Lord Taiwei understands Xiao Wang's hardships, and it's good that Lord Taiwei understands Xiao Wang's hardships." The poor puppet was so excited that tears were about to come out when he heard this, and he took Li You's hand and repeated the words vigorously.
"His Royal Highness's residence in Jiazhou has been built, and there is a courtyard for His Royal Highness the King of Shu next to it. Li You sent King Yue into the carriage and led everyone to Qiantang City, where a banquet had already been prepared to wash the dust for them.
King Yue was not suitable to participate in such an activity because of his identity, so he entered the small courtyard arranged by Li You early under the pretext of being unwell, and obediently became a prisoner, while Zheng Feihuang, Wang Wufeng and others sat opposite Fan Li, Qian Hua, Qin Shixin, and constantly showed their loyalty to Li You, in order to get a good position in the future.
"Although Lord Zheng has never been an official before, he can let the people live and work in peace and contentment in Jiangnan East and maintain the prosperity of the market, but he is much more powerful than those Jinshi in the past." After three rounds of drinking, Li You praised Zheng Feihuang and then said the arrangement for him, "Huainan Road is also by the sea, but the market has withered due to the war, so this official wants to ask Mr. Zheng to govern Huainan Road to restore maritime trade and benefit the people, I don't know if Mr. Zheng is willing?" ā
"The villain is willing." Zheng Feihuang is extremely satisfied with this arrangement, he may have more power in Jiangnan Dongdao than when he was in charge of Huainan Province, but it is a rootless tree that cannot last long after all, and now among all the forces in the world, especially Li You, the hope of dominating the world is the greatest, he has become a powerful faction under Li You, and his future is immeasurable, where will he be dissatisfied with this? Moreover, the situation of Huainan Province and Jiangnan East Province is quite similar, and he is also confident that he will make a career.
Wang Wufeng next to him showed jealousy, this guy took the initiative to give up Jiangnan Dongdao but got such benefits, I don't know what kind of position Lord Taiwei will arrange for me?
"Mr. Wang." Just thinking about it, Li You had already turned his gaze and looked at him with a smile, "I have heard for a long time that Mr. Wang's goods are all over the world, and he is one of the best maritime merchants in the eastern province of Jiangnan...... I wonder if Mr. Wang is willing to be the director of the Municipal Division? ā
In his plan, this yamen will also serve as the customs, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the maritime police and many other functions, not only to collect taxes and maintain the order of trade routes, but also to control the import of strategic materials such as grain, copper and iron from going to sea, control the import of luxury goods, expand the import of materials beneficial to the Great Wei, and at the same time help Fan Li to launch a trade war against the forces of Beiyu, Pseudo-Chu and Shu Wang, weakening their strength.
Although he had never heard of the name of this yamen, just listening to what Li You said, Wang Wufeng knew that this yamen had great strength, and he was directly responsible for Fan Li, who was called the "God of Wealth" by the world's wealthy businessmen, where would he be unwilling? hurriedly bowed down and thanked Zheng Feihuang just now.
The benefits of sea trade are too great, if used properly, the taxes collected every year alone are enough to support all Li You's military operations, so as to greatly reduce the burden on the people, for such an important yamen, there must be a person who is familiar with sea trade to be in charge, Wang Wufeng couldn't be more suitable, with Fan Li to help Li You keep an eye on, and he didn't worry about what he would do.
For Yan Zhenquan and the rest of the officials and talents in Jiangnan Dongdao, Li You also had his own arrangements, either sent to other provinces to serve, or transferred to the DPRK, or introduced into the army, of course, there were also many people who entered the city department to help Wang Wufeng, and these people can also play a role in checking and balancing him.
This arrangement can be described as a great joy for everyone, and the transfer of these people to Jiangnan Dongdao can be completely mastered by Li You, and they no longer have to worry about Li You holding them accountable, and they will usher in a glorious future. For a while, there was laughter and laughter at the banquet, and the cups were not lively.
Of course, these appointments can only be implemented with the blessed king and the holy decree, but everyone here knows that since Li You has already said that this is ironclad, there is no need to worry at all, his words are definitely more effective than the holy decree of the blessed king.
"In that case, then you will rest in Qiantang for two days and continue to rush to Jiazhou, Mr. Fan will go back with you, this official plans to go to Lingnan East Road to inspect it, I wonder if Mr. Zheng and Mr. Wang are willing to accompany him?" Let the people of Lingnan Dongdao see that the two of them are quite used, and they can also be a little relieved.
"The villain... The lower officials are honored. Zheng Feihuang and Wang Wufeng responded at the same time, of course they understood the purpose of Li You's move, and they had no objection to this.
It's just that I don't know if I can let Yan'er also follow Lord Taiwei to the south, so that she can follow her around? Zheng Feihuang secretly thought in his heart.
