Li Yong pushed away Yu Shinan's kindness to leave him for dinner, he took Liu Renliang and them to hurry back to Huating County, because they still had to calculate the price of this batch of orders, Yu Shinan did not keep them, knowing that they must be busy with their orders, and Changsun Chong and Xiao Yan did not have the face to continue to stay in Yu Shinan's other courtyard, they also hurried back to discuss countermeasures, because this matter is too big, and they must tell the family as soon as possible and do a good job of coping with it.

"Boss, this time I have made a fortune, there are more than a hundred big ships, not including those small boats, this time the shipyard should laugh crazy."

Li Yong didn't pay attention to Liu Renliang, he was thinking more about how to do this matter, because he knew that today's matter would definitely spread to those Jiangnan Shi clan and Chang'an, and those who dealt with themselves would definitely not let themselves get this order so easily, back to Huating County, Li Yong went directly to the shipyard, and then told them the news, and then asked them to start budgeting, to see how much these ships cost, and the shipyard that heard the order was naturally overjoyed, but Li Yong would not think so, Although he wanted the order, he had his own considerations.

"What do you think?"

Li Yong took the hot tea handed over by Zheng Liwan, and then told her about today's events, Zheng Liwan also felt that Li Yong was right after listening to it.

"This matter, I don't think it will be so simple, this order is likely to be thunderous and rainy, and it will eventually be over."

"Lang Jun is right, now all our industries are compressed in Chang'an, fortunately, it is the foreign trade that we started before, so it will not lead to the rupture of the capital chain, but there is still a risk in this, so the domestic situation still has to be opened, although this order seems to be an opportunity, but I think it is a mirror, from the time when the sage let a civil official be the governor of the water division, a signal has been released, that is, to start suppressing those generals and collecting military power, so this order is likely to be impossible for anyone to do, It's about maintaining the status quo. ”

Zheng Liwan is worthy of being a female Cao Cao, plus after learning the knowledge of later generations taught by Li Yong, she is now a proper commercial female emperor, whether in politics or business, she is the strongest among all Li Yong's wives and concubines, Wu Cao has not yet finished growing up, so for the time being, Zheng Liwan is the strongest, Li Yong took a sip of tea and nodded and said.

"Yes, so we have to hurry up the plan for the future, when our things that have come back from the sea trade appear in front of them, in front of the greatest maritime trade interests, any alliance is fake, and the Jiangnan Shi clan who have been keeping the sea trade sailing will be finished."

"Well, yes, Lang Jun, if it's okay, remember that tonight is the concubine's bed."

Zheng Liwan licked her bright lips charmingly, so frightened that Li Yong's legs trembled, this was going to eat his rhythm, and then Li Yong didn't have a round room with any of them, but he could use other tricks, especially Zheng Liwan, the big witch, and I don't know where to learn those messy things, every time it was her turn, when Li Yong got up the next day, his legs were soft, it was too terrifying, Li Yong wanted to escape, but he couldn't escape, and he was dragged into the room in tears.

"Li Yong, do you think you can win this order? Don't you see what Li Shimin meant? There is also Yu Shinan, an old thing that has been in the coffin, don't worry about them, as long as Yu Shinan reports this matter, we can oppose it directly, remember, don't recommend other shipyards, want to rebuild the sailor, whimsical. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji threw his son Changsun Chong's message into the brazier, and said plainly to his fellow partymen, as for the fact that the eldest grandson Chong was beaten by Li Yong's subordinates, the eldest grandson Wuji did not say it, but the hatred for Li Yong in his heart was almost full, as Li Er's brother-in-law, what kind of person is Li Er, how could he not know it? It is nothing more than taking an opportunity to gather military power, use the hands of civil officials to suppress military generals, and then use Yu Shinan as an example to beat all civil officials, Li Er's imperial power is not an ordinary slip, there are not a few people like Changsun Wuji who understand, Longxi nobles and family gate lords Those old foxes are not clear, so they don't take this matter to heart, those scholars who are far away in Jiangnan know the news earlier than the people in Chang'an, and their reaction is the same as that of Chang'an, because the profiteering sea trade is originally their forbidden body, who touches it, who will they let die, finally get rid of Zhang Liang, and come to Yu Shinan, now Yu Shinan still wants to make a big show, but they don't know that they have offended the Jiangnan Shi clan, they don't want any protection from the sailors, because they know that the so-called sailors are all fancy shelves, and their combat effectiveness is comparable to their merchant fleet, and now they have also spent a lot of money to get the protection of the largest pirate in this sea area, and there is still a need for Yu Shinan, the general governor of the sailors, what warship orders, they all know this and just say that, It will definitely not be done, so their main energy now is on the sea trade, the Black Pearl Pirate Group is very credit-collecting, and they have collected money, as long as they follow their rules, then there is nothing, the merchant fleet has already come back, and a new batch will set off soon, so they will not pay attention to Yu Shinan's bad things at this time, and Yu Shinan still thinks that the imperial court must be very happy to hear this good news, especially Li Erhui is very happy, he thinks like this, his heart is even more excited, but he doesn't know, The stupidest thing here is him. Li Yong's offer was quickly sent to Yu Shinan.

"There are 500 materials for a building ship, 50,000 taels of silver for each ship, 400 materials for a fighting ship, 40,000 taels for a fighting ship, and 70,000 taels for a door ship, which means that 1000 materials and 10,000 taels are calculated, right?"

Yu Shinan asked.

"That's right, and we're going to improve the sails and hull to look the same as before, but with the latest rudders and structures, which are more durable, stronger, and faster than previous ships."

Li Yong said simply, Yu Shinan also knows that this price is quite cheap, because he knows how much a building ship costs, Li Yong's price can be said to be no longer picky, and he is not good at bargaining, in addition, the rental of the wharf, Li Yong also opened, as long as the court determines this order, he will use the wharf for free to the court for one year, and then the follow-up needs to be used, give priority to them to renew the contract, and the price will be discounted, this can be described as buy one get one free, Yu Shinan left Li Yong, and the two of them carefully considered, Seeing Yu Shinan's serious appearance, Li Yong was also uncomfortable, because he had guessed that no matter how hard Yu Shinan tried, he was a chess piece, a chess piece that was about to be used, but he Li Yong was not a god, he was just a seventeen-year-old boy, and soon, Yu Shinan's recital came to Chang'an, and his recital also came with two books, one is the three-character scripture, and the other is the disciple rule, Li Er finished reading his recital, it can be said that his handwriting is really good, Li Er still appreciates it from the aspect of appreciating words, But if you look at the content inside, just like Li Yong thought, Yu Shinan's use value is almost over, this memora not only mentions that the Ministry of Rites has dusted these two good books for personal grievances, denounces the selfishness and inaction of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, but also tells the idea of building warships, and then expounds the advantages of Li Yong's shipyard, and also attaches Li Yong's quotation together, but Li Er just put the content aside directly, but looks at the three-character scripture and disciple rules, and after reading it, he also agrees with Yu Shinan's denunciation of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

"Such a good book, these people dare to do this, it seems that they haven't tried a knife for a long time."

The great eunuch Huang Gonggong felt a chill all over his body when he heard this, knowing that this was a signal that the emperor was going to make a move, and everyone in the Ganlu Hall did not dare to make a sound, and the next day, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was directly imprisoned for more than 50 crimes such as corruption and bribery, and then what waiter directly copied his home and exiled, it was because Li Junxian found the three-character scripture and disciple rules sent by Li Yong a few years ago in a corner of the Ministry of Rites, and Li Er then used the three-character scripture and disciple rules for the enlightenment books of the world school, for books like the three-character scripture and disciple rules, Even the Confucian scholars who have a grudge against Li Yong dare not speak out, because this book is so good that they don't dare to gnaw on it, and even some Confucians scolded the imprisoned scholars of the Ministry of Rites and the exiled officials of the Ministry of Rites, which is bitter The officials in charge of escorting are terrible, and every one of them is worried that these officials will be beaten to death by the scholars, and these officials of the Ministry of Rites know how stupid they are, in order to show their loyalty and show their ability, they blindly do this, not to mention whether they can go to Lingnan, the place of exile, maybe they will be killed by those scholars halfway. This matter can be considered to be dealt with fairly, and those officials who made mistakes have also been punished, but the other thing in Yu Shinan's compromises is completely unanswered, as if a stone has sunk into the sea, which proves what everyone thinks, and Yu Shinan also stupidly continued to write and ask Li Er, he is really an upright old man, he can only say so.

"Butler, how much money is left at home? Ask for silver"

"Lord Wang, what's wrong?"

"I'll just ask you how much silver you have?"

"That's more than a million taels of silver."

"Okay, I'll give one million taels to the Huating Marquis Mansion tomorrow."

"This, this, this ......"

"Don't be verbose, just do whatever you want."

"Yes."

Li Xiaogong, the old prince of Hejian Palace, received a letter from his daughter Li Xueyan, the content of which was that Li Yong was ready to start sea trade, and said that the huge profits of sea trade, and wanted him to buy several ships together to make money, since he invested in Li Yong's gold shop, it should be said that it was his daughter's industry, because Li Yong also opened for Li Xueyan to play, Li Xiaogong made a lot of money, these daughters said to run sea trade, he didn't say a word and let the housekeeper get all the money that the family could use, because Li Xueyan told him that the price of each ship, Li Xiaogong as a royal clan, Naturally, if you want to be domineering, one million taels, directly buy ten merchant ships of 3,000 tons. And Cheng Yanjin, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Zhang Shigui, Duan Zhixuan, Li Jing, Xu Shiji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, these Wenchen generals who have a good relationship with Li Yong also received his message, more or less buy a few smaller or larger ships, they are actually more supportive of Li Yong's career, they know that Li Yong is in a bad situation now, they are not optimistic about any sea trade. And after Wu Cao, who was in charge of affairs in Chang'an, received these people's orders, he signed a contract with them, and then sent a message to Lang Jun who was far away in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Yong's first order for the imperial shipyard was completed, and the merchant ships that had been completed long ago were painted with the family emblems of their various families, because these ships had been completed earlier, and only a part of them were picked out according to their requirements, and in this way, Li Yong's maritime trade merchant fleet was formed, consisting of eleven companies, including himself, with a total of 60 ships of 3,000 tons and 50 ships of 1,000 tons. A 10,000-ton princess, this merchant fleet is escorted by the first fleet of the United Fleet, and the Black Pearl Pirate Regiment is responsible for covering, which can be said to be foolproof, Liu Youyu and their first-generation Black Pearl Pirate Regiment brought back a large number of navigation charts of the Jiangnan Shi clan to Li Yong, as well as captains and crews who are familiar with sailing, which also makes Li Yong full of confidence in this voyage, and boxes of goods hoarded in Xishan and Huating are transported into the cabin one after another, and the material ship can continue to fill the cabin with grain and fresh water in every corner.

"Pay attention to safety, first mate, pay attention to check moisture, don't let the goods get wet, be careful."

The captain of each ship is under the sun directing the people who buy coolies to work, large goods are hoisted into the cabin with the help of a crane, the so-called crane is actually a pulley crane composed of wood, the originally calm Huating Wharf is becoming more and more lively day by day, the wharf has been docked with all the merchant ships, under the dispatch of the wharf, orderly entry and exit from the port, will not cause chaos because of too many ships, more than 100 merchant ships were loaded for ten days before they were loaded, and the princess alone was loaded for three days, The First Fleet, which received the escort order, sailed away from the naval dock in the envious and jealous eyes of all the navies, and the merchant fleet sailed away from the naval dock under the cheers of everyone in Huating, under the cheers of all the gongs and drums, and some of their relatives left the dock with one giant ship after another, they didn't run too far this time, mainly to test the water, and ran the old route of the Jiangnan Shi clan, but Li Yong's fleet was going to Luzon, that is, the Philippines in later generations, the fleet of the Jiangnan Shi clan did not know the route, and they ran all around Linyi, they didn't know that Luzon was a treasure land, The Spice Islands are there, and in this era, the islands are basically all natives, and there are some islands that are not inhabited, no one knows about them, but Li Yong knows, so he didn't choose there for the first time, and he can be regarded as testing the waters. Under the protection of the navy's warships, the merchant fleet sailed southward, and those pirates saw the navy's black dragon flag, and they were all frightened and didn't even dare to approach, for fear of being destroyed by the navy, so the entire huge fleet passed through the East China Sea and came to the territory of the Black Pearl Pirate Group, and the Black Pearl Pirate Group saw its own fleet, and got out of the way, and then secretly protected the fleet until the fleet completely left the sea area under its rule, all the ships and materials were fully prepared, and there was no need to replenish, otherwise such a large fleet would be replenished, The secret supply depot in Taizhou also does not work, come to the South China Sea, in addition to exploring the fleet also carefully record the hydrology and climate of the voyage, the sea area of the South China Sea is more complicated than the sea area of the East China Sea, people are windless three feet wave, its windless ten foot wave, even if these are all old crew and old sailors, after coming to the South China Sea, they are all vulgar, vomiting is dark, and the prepared weather is the face of a doll, saying that change will change, just a minute ago it was still a clear sky, the next minute is directly a storm, If it weren't for the fact that their ships were big enough and sturdy, and they were all old sailors, it was possible to be wiped out directly, which let them know why Li Yong said that the South China Sea must be careful, this voyage is full of wealth and danger, they finally came to Luzon after a lot of hard work, fortunately, the fleet was not seriously damaged, but they walked all the way down, and it took more than a month to arrive, and it was determined through translation that this was the Luzon they were going to. Hurrying on land is still the same as stepping on cotton.

"Damn, this piece is so terrifying, I thought my life was here."

"Don't worry, Commander, if there is a small one, there will definitely be no accident."

This time he went to sea, Li Yong did not accompany him, so Liu Renliang was the commander of the navy, so he led the team, Zheng Dahai has been promoted to the commander of the Second Fleet, so the commander of the first fleet is concurrently served by him Liu Renliang, and the translator in charge of communication brought the indigenous leaders here to Liu Renliang, seeing that Liu Renliang These navies are tall and big, and they are wearing elite leather armor and the long long knife around their waists, they know that they are not easy to mess with, and these heats show that they are just here to do business. So this black and short leader enthusiastically brought Liu Renliang and them to his tribe, seeing the thatched hut tribe made of primitive thatch, people still wear clothes made of animal skins or leaf thatch, Liu Renliang They can be regarded as looking at the vision, even the Turkic barbarians will not be so bad, if it weren't for Li Yong's order not to attack these tribes that did not attack, he Liu Renliang would really attack directly, because Liu Renliang They found that this place is simply a treasure along the way, spices are everywhere, and what is even more odious is that The people of these tribes took spices as firewood to burn, because there were too many of these things here, Liu Renliang and they came to this tribe, the little leader led his family to welcome guests from afar, Liu Renliang They bent down to accept the garland they sent, in fact, dozens of spices, they couldn't wait to grab it directly, but Li Yong's order was an order, no one dared to disobey, Liu Renliang also gave his saber to the leader, because he saw that the little leader had been staring at his saber, Naturally knew that he wanted to, seeing Liu Renliang give him the long knife, the leader was so happy that he wanted to give his dozens of wives to Liu Renliang, which directly frightened Liu Renliang, and sent a broken knife to dozens of wives, the key is that the dozens of women are blacker than the leader, seeing them, Liu Renliang wants to vomit. At this time, they knew why so many people ran to the sea, what a huge profit, although it is dangerous, but the accompanying wealth is simply needless to mention, such as the tribe in front of them, the wealth brought is nothing more than an estimate, what is a huge profit, sea trade is a huge profit, this is simply the wealth sent, that is, Li Yong is kind-hearted, if it is someone else, will he trade with them in barter? That is to rob directly, although Li Yong's goods are worthless in Datang, but here are treasures, and their spices, gems, medicinal materials and other things are treasures in Datang.
