Several huge building ships are abruptly moored between the sea and the sky, shattering the blue sea and blue sky.

Looking at the behemoth from afar, except for the Wind Festival, everyone in the group was so shocked that they couldn't speak.

In this era of backward technology, ships that can sail freely in the strong winds of the sea are indeed shocking at first glance. Not to mention that Zheng Jue's gang of thieves had straight eyes, even a knowledgeable person like Lu Dongli had a thrilling feeling.

I have long heard that the Xiao clan of Wu Guo, the art of shipbuilding, is unique in the world, but if you don't see it with your own eyes, you really don't know that it can have such grandeur.

Of course, Feng Jinjie was calm and calm, and walked forward to talk to the people of Wu who were trading with people along the coast. However, he also admired his classmates a little in his heart, and it must have taken a lot of effort to toss such technological progress.

Wu's ship was too big to dock unless it was a deep-water port. So, when doing business on the general coastline like this, they anchored far away, and sent a dozen small boats carrying all kinds of goods to the shore to trade.

The people who did business with the Wu people were not all local fishermen, but more wealthy businessmen who came from the neighborhood after hearing the news. Everyone spares no expense to buy novelties from foreign countries.

As for whether the fleet of the Wu State has officially greeted the imperial court, whether it is a legal entry, who cares so much about the merchants! Even the officers and soldiers of the Zhao State who have been patrolling and monitoring the vicinity cannot let this group of profit-seeking businessmen restrain at all.

The business on the shore was very hot, and Feng Jinjie stepped forward and found the leader of the Wu State traders to say a few words, and the dozens of Wu people immediately began to greet to pack up the remaining goods that had not yet been sold, and were ready to end the business.

There was a sound of dissatisfaction from the surrounding Zhao people. There were even some businessmen who dragged Wu Ren's hand and begged to prevent them from calling it a day, but the attitude of Wu Ren was extremely resolute, and they packed up their money and goods neatly.

If it weren't for the sea in the rear, the thirteen huge ships would give people too much oppression, and I was afraid that at this time, the seaside would cause some violent conflict in order to prevent the Wu people from ending the transaction early.

And Feng Jinjie, who caused all this, retreated early, returned to everyone, and said with a smile: "They packed up their things." Take us to the big boat. Fu said to Lu Dongli again: "The head of the Xiao family has prepared fine wine purchased from various countries on the ship, as well as the special dishes of Wu State, and is ready to wait for us to go up, drive a section along the sea, everyone eat, drink and have a lively time, and then use a small boat to send the people who are coming back ashore." ”

Seeing this kind of huge ship that has only been seen in his life, and such a vast sea, who doesn't want to go up and taste the taste of sailing on the sea, listen to the wind festival at this moment. A group of bandits really got right and immediately cheered.

As for Lu Dongli, firstly, he wanted to give Su Wanzhen's mother and son a ride, and secondly, he wanted to get on the boat...... All right. Stealing. Although I am a layman, I can see the inner structure of the big ship, the positions of the sailors everywhere, and the way everyone works, so I can remember a little bit, and I may have a chance in the future. There are certain hints for the country's naval army.

After all, at the sight of such a ship, he instinctively felt that his country was under great threat.

Feng Jinjie looked at his expression and explained him: "Don't worry, no matter how good the ships of Wu Guodi are." Nor will they attack Zhao Guo. ”

Lu Dongli was silent.

Feng Jinjie knew his intentions and laughed: "I know the powerful figures in the Xiao clan, but when I say this, I don't say this because of my friendship with that person. ”

He smiled and explained carefully and calmly: "Wu Guoxin is established, and the Xiao family has the merit of the sky, so they must be rewarded heavily." But how could King Wu let his ministers and relatives sit big. Under the compromise between the two sides, the king of Wu allowed the Xiao family to concentrate on developing water business and power, while the Xiao family would never expand the land army, which was equivalent to promising the king of Wu that they would not attack the city and plunder the land. This water master. In fact, it is the foundation of the Xiao family's life, so they will definitely not allow King Wu to intervene. And King Wu will not allow the Xiao family sailor to expand his influence to other countries without permission, so as not to shake his prestige. To put it bluntly, no matter how scary the Xiao family's fleet is, it is just scary. As long as Zhao Guo did not do anything to the Xiao family, the Xiao family would never start a war with Zhao State, let alone allow King Wu to use their sailors to attack Zhao State. If it weren't for that, how dare I invite Wu's fleet to Zhao to make a move. ”

After all, these small building friends of the Wind Festival. They can only be borrowed from the momentum, not by force. It's okay to do a small favor, but you can't count on them to help you if you do a big job. You have to be careful that they use the excuse of helping him to make up their own affairs behind his back, which will cause trouble to Zhao Guo.

Xiao Qingshang never likes to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries under any pretext, let alone ignore the interests of his own country because of the friendship of his friends. Therefore, he asked her to help pick up people, and asked her to help scare King Zhao by the way, which was no problem. But don't even think about anything else.

Lu Dongli felt a little relieved when he heard this, and immediately calculated the overall situation: "According to what you say, the Xiao family built a water division from the beginning to guard against King Wu's ......."

Feng Jinjie laughed: "Of course." What the Xiao family wants is not to be rich and prosperous, but to prosper the family. At that time, the state of Wu had not yet been established, and it was a chaos, and the Xiao family wanted to get a piece of the pie, so it was natural to find someone to support it. But the long-term prosperity of a family is too dangerous to rely only on the merit of the founding of the country and the marriage alliance. has always been ruthless is the Wang family, the so-called prosperity is not more than a hundred years, and the relatives of the powerful ministers, which one can be honored and favored. The Xiao family is willing to contribute to the country, but they never put everything in the future on the emperor's conscience. Therefore, they are willing to give up the army, so that the country has no hidden dangers, but they must firmly grasp the power to protect themselves. The current state of Wu is that King Wu cannot do without the Xiao family, but the Xiao family can get rid of King Wu at any time. ”

Feng Jinjie looked at the big ship in the distance, and said with a leisurely smile: "As long as King Wu dares to turn his face, the Xiao family will immediately take all the wealth and talents of the coastal counties and sail out to sea, and dozens of islands overseas have long been run into small kingdoms by them." Prosperity everywhere, everything. And the land that King Wu got was only a few coastal cities and counties that had been stripped away. King Wu is no longer reconciled, with the Xiao family's sailor here, how dare he attack the Xiao family's island. However, the Xiao family could intrude on the coastal areas of Wu at any time, and at that time, the king of Wu would either spend unparalleled manpower and financial resources to deploy along the coast. Either it is forbidden to move the people, so that countless people have no livelihood, and it is a trouble for the emperor to vomit blood, so King Wu and the Xiao family have formed a balance. King Wu gave the Xiao family a transcendent and noble status, and the Xiao family reciprocated with a vassalic attitude and a large amount of tribute every year. The Xiao family never developed a land army, and King Wu also gave up getting involved in the Xiao family's naval army, at least on the surface. ”

Feng Jinjie smiled: "So." Unless King Wu and the Xiao family untie each other's knots, otherwise, the Xiao family's powerful naval army can only be used to protect themselves forever and not threaten anything

Too much exclusion of them. ”

He raised his eyebrows and asked Lu Dongli with a smile: "As for the 'mutual untie knot'...... East Fence. Do you think it is possible for such monarchs and ministers who guard against each other to leave behind suspicion and suspicion for the sake of the country, the great cause and the world? ”

Lu Dongli was stunned, and said after a while: "The suspicion between the monarch and the minister has been prevented to such a point, but it is not a long-term way. ”

Feng Jinjie smiled: "My thoughts are just the opposite, this kind of prevention and balance on the surface is more effective than any crying and sobbing, and the monarch is loyal and loyal." The prevention of power should be strict rules and sufficient checks and balances, and the shamelessness and selfishness of the human heart should be considered first, and efforts should be made to prevent it. It is much safer than pinning everything on people's loyalty and righteousness. Believe me, in this situation of Wu State, no one on both sides can help anyone, as long as King Wu is shrewd and capable for one day, he will not turn his face with the Xiao family for one day. And even if it's one day. King Wu was replaced by a person who was mediocre and couldn't see the overall situation clearly, and the Xiao family would at least be able to retreat with his whole body, and there would be no founding heroes who would go down all the way, nor would there be the emperor's infamy of being ruthless and slaughtering his courtiers. Isn't that bad? ”

Although Lu Dongli is far more thorough and skilled than the current masters, in the end he is still influenced by the loyalty and filial piety he has learned over the years, and he was stunned for a long time when he heard this discussion, Fang smiled bitterly: "So you want to learn from them?" ”

Feng Jinjie smiled and shrugged: "It's just a reference." There are too many deep-seated reasons for the formation of the Xiao family's water power and the current peace between the monarchs and ministers, and no one in this world can copy it exactly the same. ”

Lu Dongli nodded, stared at the big ship in the distance, and said, "In any case, Zhao Guo should learn from them and strengthen the strength of the sailors." Build powerful warships. This has nothing to do with whether the Xiao family or the Wu State will defeat Zhao. ”

Feng Jinjie also smiled and nodded. The balance between the Xiao family and the Wu country is not easy to break. The defense of a country cannot count on the weakness and incompetence of the enemy. Since the Xiao family can create such a powerful water master. Zhao Guo should catch up, no matter how difficult the objective conditions are, he should always work hard and always have a start.

At this time, a row of Xiao family's small boats along the coast had already packed up all their things, and the ten children were separated left and right, trying to push back the crowd who were still trying to persuade them, and several people walked quickly towards them on a separate road.

Feng Jinjie smiled: "Don't let them come and pick it up, let's go by ourselves." ”

At this time, the subordinate Yahuan who accompanied them had already been sent away by Feng Jinjie with money to rest elsewhere, and there were no other outsiders around, except for Lu Donglian's family, only Zheng Jue and others went forward together.

The soldiers of Zhao Guo patrolling nearby also felt that something was wrong, a few people took a few steps out of the line, but they did not move forward, and the last few who seemed to be officials got together to discuss a few words, and then stood back as if nothing happened.

Lu Dongli has been paying attention to their movements, and found that the soldiers of Zhao State were obviously responsible for surveillance, but they were afraid of the people of Wu State, and seeing that such a group of people who were obviously not doing business in his country blatantly wanted to contact the people of Wu State in large numbers, he didn't even have the courage to come and inquire about it, even if it was a convenient door for himself to get out, he was still extremely depressed in his heart.

While following Feng Jinjie's side, he asked in a low voice: "After Wanzhen is sent away, can the exposing of corrupt officials and corrupt officials in various places be suspended?" ”

Feng Jinjie smiled and glanced at him: "I know you don't agree with me doing that, but I didn't expect that you would endure until now before you told me." ”

Lu Dongli smiled bitterly.

Of course, those chivalrous things are "very happy", but they are also too destructive. Once or twice, you can be wary of the officials in the world, but this kind of continuous flowering in all directions has caused panic among the people, the majesty of the government has been lost, the officials and servants have no intention of doing anything, and the yamen is on the verge of paralysis, which is also very harmful to the people themselves.

The common people did not see this, and although he understood, he never spoke. No one is a man of God, and everything is all right when he breathes. Feng Jinjie is trying his best to divert the attention of the government in order to protect his family, how can he attack and blame his friends for not doing well enough. If there is iniquity, it is to be reckoned on his own head. It's just that now Su Wanzhen will be able to get on the boat and leave Zhao Guo and go to a safe place, so he finally can't help it, and he can stop it with a word of reminding Feng Jinjie.

"Okay, I also know that this is a bit inappropriate, but I am really forced to have no way. Anyway, I have always insisted that I have not wronged a person, and I have not harmed an innocent person in vain. Although there will be a chaotic period of time, as long as our side stops that series of things, after ten days and half a month, we will be able to return to normal. ”

The conversation between the two of them made Zheng Jue inexplicable: "Why don't I understand this, isn't it the happiest thing in the world to arrest so many corrupt officials and corrupt officials and set off such unsightly things?" Lord Lu, if you want to oppose this, it will be too pedantic. ”

Lu Dongli and Feng Jinjie just looked at each other and smiled, but no one would say more.

And Su Wanzhen smiled slightly, pulled her young son tight with one hand, and gently stretched it out with the other.

Lu Dongli seemed to be aware of it, grabbed her hand with his backhand, and never let go.

Su Wanzhen knew that if it weren't for protecting her, there would not have been this series of sensational events that caused a sensation across the country. If it weren't for her safety, Lu Dongli wouldn't have been silent about all this.

Her husband, who has been frank all this in his life, is obviously uneasy in his heart, but he still accepts and admits it, and until today, until she is about to get on the boat, he asks Feng Jinjie to stop those things.

Both of them grew up in the Shili family and have always known etiquette in front of people, but this time they held hands in public, and no one felt wrong, and no one wanted to let go of their hands.
