Volume 1 The Talent of Heaven and Heaven Coincides with Troubled Times Chapter 42 A group of subordinates who fight horizontal cannons
The king of Nanyu read the reply to Zhu Pi, threw it to the ground, and said: "Emperor Yan wants this king to fight with Hanging Island first, then Sun Zhaoyuan is the-stirring stick he sent, and when this king and Hanging Island are both defeated, Emperor Yan can make a profit." Now Sun Zhaoyuan is in charge of Jianzhou shipbuilding affairs and meddles in Jianzhou's military affairs. How is this for good? ”
There is a staff member under the king of Nanyu, named Wu Jisong, who is the first adviser under the king of Nanyu, and said: "This matter is easy to do, and it is easy to do, but it is not easy to do, and it is not easy to do." ”
The king of Nanyu knew that he had an idea, and said, "Mr. Wu, if you have any clever plans, report to this king quickly." ”
Wu Jisong said: "Emperor Yan has now deliberately weakened the power of the prince, and wants to pinch the shipping manufacturing in his own hands. Since Emperor Yan has this intention, he can only put the breakthrough on Sun Zhaoyuan, and the prince will win him over, and wait until he gets on our ship, so that he can clamp Jianzhou on the surface, but secretly let the prince go, so that the crisis can be solved. Otherwise, if we have a hard fight with Sun Zhaoyuan, I think that this person can bring down Tu Catalogue and sneak attack the hanging island, he is not an idle person, and we may not have a chance of winning. ”
Nanyu Wang said: "This meaning is very much in line with the heart of this king, before this king also thought about whether to recruit Sun Zhaoyuan into his command, Mr. This is very consistent with the meaning of this king." It's just how to recruit Sun Zhaoyuan? Hearing rumors, this person has nothing to do with this king. ”
Wu Jisong said: "This person has a good family, he will not be wealthy, and he is deeply valued by Emperor Yan, and he has a bright future, and he cannot intersect with power." I think that when Xia Guan traveled to Xianshan, by chance, he met an old fairy, the old fairy can refine the elixir, among the elixirs, there are pills that can prolong life, there are also pills that cure diseases and eliminate disasters, and there is also an elixir that can make people extremely happy, called Shengxian San, if people smoke, they will flutter like immortals, and they are extremely happy, but if they suck a few times, they will have a headache, and they will have a headache and gnaw on their bodies. The light ones are in pain, and the heavy ones are self-harming with knives, and they must be smoked again to relieve the pain. If he is stained with this thing, he will definitely be controlled by the King of Nanyu for the rest of his life, and let his grandson Zhaoyuan do whatever he wants. ”
King Nanyu clapped his hands and smiled: "This plan is very wonderful, this Ascending Immortal Scatter actually has this miraculous effect, it is really something that God helps me." Mr. quickly sent someone to Xianshan to find this ascending immortal scatter. ”
Wu Jisong said: "Don't worry, the prince will definitely get this matter done." ”
Sun Zhaoyuan saw that Emperor Yan gave him the holy decree, and hurriedly went back to find Yu Yin Qiao, and said: "Qiao Qiao, look at the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, he sent me to concurrently serve as the factory affairs of Jianzhou Shipyard." The Jianzhou shipyard is in Linhai Town, Zhangcheng Prefecture, although it is a small town, but it can also give you some fun. ”
Yu Yin Qiao said: "That's great, I'll pack up and go to Linhai Town." It's just that you're going, how are these 5,000 soldiers settled? ”
Sun Zhaoyuan said: "This is not simple, the shipyard covers an extremely wide area, and it is a shipbuilding business, and my five thousand sailors happen to have a place to be stationed, because it is my territory, then Tang Delu has nothing to say." I brought these 5,000 sailors, if the shipyard refused to contribute, I let these 5,000 sailors build their own ships, wartime soldiers, leisure time shipbuilding, and soldiers can build ships according to their own needs, they will be happy, so that there are not many manpower, and the soldiers are satisfied, killing two birds with one stone. ”
Yu Yin Qiao said: "This is very good. It's just that you don't know the art of shipbuilding, and these soldiers can only kill the enemy, how can you make a living. ”
Sun Zhaoyuan said: "This is also, I will go to the shipyard and think about it again." ”
Sun Zhaoyuan took the soldiers of the Haizi Battalion to Linhai Town, and found a proper place to camp next to the shipyard.
The original staff of the shipyard was called Wu Daoyou, who was born black and thin. It turned out that this shipyard was under his command, and he secretly reaped a lot of benefits.
When the shipyard was first built, Wu Daoyou also studied carefully, leading the shipyard to work day and night to build a huge ship with a length of 20 zhang and a height of 5 zhang. Even compared to the large battleships of Oceania, it is too wide.
In the following decades, the Nie Er tribe spared no expense, scattered a large amount of silver into the shipyard, and went all out to build ships to prevent the hanging island. By the time of Emperor Yan, it had 56 huge ships, of which 20 were in Jianzhou, 30 in Jiangzhou, and 6 in Fuzhou.
As the shipyard became more supported by the government, the power in Wu Daoyou's hands became more and more important, and Wu Daoyou was also a layman, so he secretly fished for oil and water with other officials.
A warship costs at least 30,000 taels of silver, which is the fat that rolls in the hand, as long as it passes, it will benefit from it.
The purchased timber originally only cost one tael of silver, and it cost at least ten taels to report to the government, and the labor fee of the craftsman was actually paid one tael, but it was reported to the government ten taels. The shipyard reported repairing ten warships, but actually repaired seven or eight, which is already a good official. Some of the wrecked ships that had long been scrapped were still cheekily "repaired" by the relevant officials and cut off all the money allocated.
Over the past few decades, Wu Daoyou and many officials and shipyard officials have accumulated a huge net worth.
Sun Zhaoyuan came to Linhai Town to concurrently take over the shipyard affairs, and Wu Daoyou was demoted to deputy factory affairs, and all matters large and small must be reported to Sun Zhaoyuan before they could be implemented, which cut off his financial route.
Although Wu Daoyou is only a seven-grade official in charge of shipping affairs, he has a huge financial resource and the support of Jianzhou officialdom, and he is also calling for wind and rain in Jianzhou. Although he couldn't afford to offend Sun Zhaoyuan, he secretly said to his subordinate supervisors and various important craftsmen: "Sun Zhaoyuan has taken charge of the factory affairs and cut off our financial route, so he will definitely impose difficulties on him and prevent him from successfully building ships, so that the king of Nanyu can participate in his ignorance of shipping affairs and restore the right to control us, so that he can have no worries about food and clothing in the second half of his life." ”
The rest of the people, who usually received a lot of benefits, naturally agreed, and said one after another: "Only Wu Factory is the first to look forward, let that Sun Zhaoyuan, and he can't make any political achievements." ”
Sun Zhaoyuan came to the shipyard for a few days, and humbly asked those factory workers for advice on shipbuilding, but saw that those factory workers were all in a hurry, and deliberately said some inconsequential words, so that Sun Zhaoyuan heard in the clouds. Sun Zhaoyuan looked at this situation and had nothing to do. Since he was a child, he only read the Four Books and the Five Classics, but he has never touched on the skills of craftsmen. He originally thought that even if the factory workers didn't work, as long as he knew how to build a giant ship, he would let his soldiers do it himself, but he didn't want to, Wu Daoyou had already guarded against this, and asked the factory workers to burn all the shipbuilding drawings, so that Sun Zhaoyuan had nothing to do.
Sun Zhaoyuan has been here for a while, and he is familiar with the relevant people of this shipyard, so he naturally knows what happened. It's just that it's not good for Ming Shang to tear his face with that Wu Daoyou and cause chaos, so he can only think of other ways to crack it.
