Chapter 162: Snatching
"Xue Guogong, please drink this cup to the full."
The living room full of friends, the people in it drink the best wine, holding the beauty, the cups are staggered, this face is as lively as it is, but these are used to it for the eldest grandson Shunde, looking at his nephew Changsun Chong is holding two Jiangnan girls, while enjoying the feeding and drinking, while on the two beauties up and down their hands, so unhappy, the eldest grandson Shunde shook his head helplessly, for those who came to toast him, he drank a little at will, unlike those who drank and staggered, as an excellent general, he was drunk on the enemy's territory, and that was to send his head to others.
"Master Xiao, I'm going to be tired after many days of traveling, you eat and drink well, I'll leave first."
The eldest grandson Shunde is really tired, and he doesn't like such an occasion, he sees that the time is almost up, so he quit and leaves, while his nephew and those young gentlemen continue to eat, drink and have fun, Taizhou Sailor is in the yamen, Yu Shinan is walking in the backyard, he didn't go to the Jiangnan Shi clan tonight to participate in the reception banquet, the simple yamen ate something, people are old, plus the days of hurrying, the appetite is not good, so he drank some porridge, but he is thinking very complicated now, under the prosperity he sees in front of him, How many dirty things are buried, especially how to rebuild the current sailor, I don't understand, the eldest grandson Shunde, who understands military affairs, is also a Longxi nobleman, and his family is just an alliance in interests, in fact, they are all ghosts, especially in the territory of the Jiangnan Shi clan, those people are not fuel-efficient lamps, and there are almost no people who can use the children who are stuffed in, they are here to mix up the merits, he built the water division, everyone was promoted and rich, and if he messed up, the emperor would only punish him.
"Well, why is it so messy?"
Yu Shinan sighed and said, but he was the only one in the courtyard, and he said it to himself. The next day, in the Taizhou Navy Governor's Mansion, Yu Shinan met with all the heads of the Jiangnan Shi clan, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue a little when he looked at the boxes of gold and silver.
"Yongxing County Gong, this is a little bit of our Jiangnan Shi clan to support the imperial court to rebuild the water division, and I hope that Yongxing County Gong will accept it."
Yu Shinan doesn't know whether to collect it or not, it takes a lot of money to rebuild the sailor, the treasury of the imperial court is so much silver, after being used for various purposes, there is nothing left every year, the sailor rebuilds to build warships, recruit sailors, and train soldiers, all of which cost astronomical sums, rationally he wants to accept it, but intellectually, he can't accept it, he is very entangled, and those people who are ordinary Jiangnan Shi clan heads think about him very clearly.
"Yongxing County Prince, please don't worry, these are just our intentions, as long as the sailors become strong, our merchant ships can be guaranteed to go to sea to do business, so that the imperial court can have more taxes, which is a win-win situation for the imperial court and us, so please be sure to accept it."
"Yes, Yongxing County Prince, in addition to these salaries, we can also provide skilled boatmen and sailors here, as long as the imperial court needs it, we will strongly support it."
The words of those family masters are like the devil tempting him, these things are the things he needs most, but these things are easy to take, and the price to pay later will also be very high, Yu Shinan is not a fool like Zhang Liang, he thinks more and understands more, in the end, Yu Shinan succumbs, because no matter how he thinks of it, this is an unsolvable problem, either accept it, and then shelter these scholars who eat people and don't spit out bones, or refuse, and rely on the court to rebuild, but this is obviously impossible, so he can only give in, Anyway, he thought that as long as he rebuilt the water division, he wouldn't be able to control the rest of the matter. After sending off those heads of the house.
"Put these things in the storeroom, and invite everyone to come here and discuss important matters."
The guards of the Governor's Mansion moved these dozens of boxes of silver into the backyard warehouse, and after the eldest grandson Shunde and other officials received Yu Shinan's notice, they came to the Governor's Mansion one after another.
"We have come to Taizhou, and everyone has seen the current situation, the situation of the water division is not optimistic, please come here today to discuss how to rebuild the water division, and you can say what you think."
After Yu Shinan finished speaking, he took a sip of hot tea with a teacup, the eldest grandson Shunde closed his eyes and recuperated, maybe he was too tired to play last night and didn't rest well, and the others were talking about it one after another, but they knew a yarn, that is, they were discussing, pretending that they knew it very well, and after waiting for more than a quarter of an hour, they didn't discuss anything, Yu Shinan's face was very gloomy, and he couldn't hang up a little, at this time, the eldest grandson Shunde, who had been pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes and said slowly.
"My lord, let me tell you what I think first."
Finally, someone spoke, and Yu Shinan's face was a little better.
"Then please tell me about the eldest grandson, you are a famous general in my dynasty, and your opinion must be more than that of the layman of the old man."
"My lord is modest, I'll just say roughly, please don't laugh, first of all, now my navy division is almost nine out of ten, Laizhou, Dengzhou's sailors are worse than Taizhou, and Taizhou's current warships are only a few can be used, if you want to rebuild the sailors, first, we have to build a large number of warships, second, recruit sailors with good water nature, third, but also find people who can fight water warfare to train sailors, water warfare and land warfare are two completely different tactics, this is particularly important, finally, It is to reserve a large amount of grain and grass and build a wharf, we can now use only three wharves, that is, Laizhou, Dengzhou and Taizhou, the wharf in Quanzhou is reported to be in disrepair and can no longer be used, in order to form a defense on the long coastline, we need more wharves as the support of the sailors, this is a little shallow view of the last general, please correct. ”
After listening to this, Yu Shinan couldn't help but admire Changsun Shunde for analyzing the problem so thoroughly.
"Lord Changsun is really a famous general of my dynasty, and he has made the problem so clear, do other people have any ideas?"
Yu Shinan knew that he asked in vain, these people in front of him were also useful to Changsun Shunde, and the others were here to play soy sauce, it would be good not to drag him back, and he was expecting them to do something, and when all the birds were silent, a discordant voice sounded, and I saw a personable boy and brother stand up, bow to Yu Shinan and Changsun Shunde, and salute.
"Two adults, in Xia Changsun Chong, I want to say what I think."
Yu Shinan recognized Changsun Chong, and he always thought that Changsun Chong was a good child, originally he thought that Changsun Chong and Princess Changle would tie the knot, but he didn't know where a Li Yong's guy ran out, and he was stunned to break up the marriage that he was optimistic about, especially when he knew that this Li Yong was a martial artist, and he didn't read the book of sages, and he specialized in being a lowly businessman, his first feeling about Li Yong was very bad, and even disgusted to that extent, but he didn't go to court much, and he never saw Li Yong, that is, he heard what others said. Therefore, he likes students like Changsun Chong very much, with a good family background, good upbringing, smart, and familiar with the books of saints, which is simply the three good students in his mind.
"Tell me about it."
"The subordinates fully agree with the views of the two lords, the subordinates feel that other aspects can raise silver taels from the imperial court and local wealthy merchants, and can also recruit fishermen from the coastal periphery, they go to sea all year round, and they can become excellent sailors and soldiers, the most worrying thing is the construction of the wharf, the two adults also said, now we can use only three wharves, which is far from enough, we will build at least two more wharves, so that when our sailors patrol, there can be docks, so that Those pirates will not dare to attack my coastal towns easily. ”
Yu Shinan was quite satisfied with Changsun Chong's words, he nodded and asked.
"And if two more piers are built, where will they be repaired? Do you know how much it costs to build a dock? ”
"My lord, in fact, before coming down to Taizhou, I have seen the map of my dynasty, Laizhou and Dengzhou two docks are too close, but the main defense of the two sailors is the Goguryeo sailors, so the patrol range of the sailors over there can not be too long, to prevent the Goguryeo sailors from sneaking attack, so there is a vacuum in the sea above, so we want to build a wharf between Dengzhou and Taizhou in Laizhou, now this wharf is ready-made, and it does not cost anything, that is our Huating Port in Huating County, we just need the next official document, Let him unconditionally give up the wharf, I believe that the Marquis of Huating will definitely support the order of the imperial court, any is the Quanzhou wharf, although it is in disrepair, but the location there is not lower than the location of Taizhou Port, there is a strait in Quanzhou, as long as the strangled there, all the ships going north can not pass, although the Quanzhou wharf is in disrepair, but it is not nothing, so it can be repaired again at a small cost, so we don't need to spend any cost to repair the two wharves. ”
Yu Shinan's eyes couldn't help but light up after hearing this, he couldn't help but praise that he, a good student, had such a vision.
"Yes, yes, Lord Eldest Sun, your eldest grandson family is really talented."
"The adults are smiling, Chong'er, don't hurry down."
"Yes."
Although the eldest grandson Shunde solemnly asked the eldest grandson to retreat, he didn't know what the music was like, isn't it strange why the eldest grandson Chong understood this? Of course, Changsun Chong doesn't understand, but someone understands, in order to make Changsun Chong a blockbuster in this task of rebuilding the water division, Changsun Wuji and the entire Changsun family have spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and invited a large number of staff members and people who know how to fight in the water to give advice, so that there is today's Changsun Chong's words, the Huating County he mentioned, in fact, he is just like revenge on Li Yong, how can a person like Yu Shinan not know, but he doesn't blame Changsun Chong, but feels that he is not wrong to do this, leaving aside his and Li Yong's rivals, Huating Port is indeed like what Changsun Chong said, this port is just in the middle, not only can it supply the fleet going south in Dengzhou, Laizhou, but also dock the fleet going north in Taizhou, it is simply a perfect supply port, and it doesn't cost money to get there, why not? It's also good to be angry with your own good students.
"Yes, young and promising, this official will write an official document now, let Huating County unconditionally give up the wharf and Quanzhou repair the wharf, if there is a violator, take it on the spot."
Changsun Chong was happy when he heard it, but he didn't dare to show it in front of so many people, thinking in his heart, Li Yong, the dock you worked so hard to build will belong to us, and Changle, you slut, wait for me to kill Li Yong, and then concoct you. The official document of the governor of the navy governor Yamen was quickly stamped with a big seal and sent from the post station to the two places, but the blockade of Li Yong by the Jiangnan Shi clan, Huating County has not been under the management of Suzhou Prefecture, so the post station can only go to Suzhou Mansion, and then sent to Huating County by the official messenger of Suzhou Prefecture.
"This is robbery, shameless."
Li Yong glanced at the official document, threw it directly into the trash, and then said lightly.
"They want my Huating Wharf, this eldest grandson Chong is not beautiful, but he thinks it is very beautiful, and the order will go down, the whole city will be under martial law, not our people from Huating County, they are not allowed to approach the boundary of Huating County, if the warning does not stop, they will be tied up and sent to work in the labor camp."
Hearing Li Yong's bold words, although Gao Da was very angry, he was also very worried, after all, this is an official document from the Governor Yamen of the Naval Division, which represents the imperial court, not to mention that their Naval Governor Yamen does have the power to control the Sailor Division, that is, all the docks that can be provided to the Sailor can be requisitioned.
"Boss, this is not good, after all, they represent the imperial court, and we will fall into trouble if we do this."
"Don't be afraid, they will soon have no energy to care about us, and they want to snatch the Huating County that wants me? It depends on whether they have this good tooth mouth, don't break the tooth when the time comes, and execute it. ”
