Chapter 242: Reminder
Although Lan Bin relied on some tiny details to guess that he was going to take up the post of water division. But this just shows that Lan Bin's sensitivity in some things is far beyond ordinary people.
Especially when Lan Bin is only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, it is even more commendable.
Tang He thought about it and sighed, "Lan Yu has a good son!"
As he spoke, his heart was still a little sour.
Since he was crowned the Duke of the Kingdom, he knew that his official career in this life was at the top, and more thoughts were placed on the next generation.
It's a pity that although he has many sons and daughters, none of them have become a climate.
Although Lan Yu has only one son, this son has not only become the companion of the emperor's eldest grandson at a young age, but also deeply trusted by the emperor and the prince. Even if he does not have Lan Yu's Marquis of Yongchang, Lan Yu's son can worship the marquis on his own.
How does this make him not envious.
Lan Bin touched his nose, didn't know how to answer, and finally didn't say a word.
Tang He looked at Lan Bin and said, "You ask this, what are you doing?"
"Uncle Tang, you also know that the emperor asked me to form a fleet and go to the cherry blossom country to confirm the silver mountain."
Lan Bin saw that Tang He acquiesced, and then cried poorly: "But I, Yongchang Houfu, have neither experience in sea navigation, nor ships. And the emperor asked to confirm Yinshan as soon as possible, so he could only ask Uncle Tang for help!"
As soon as Tang He heard it, he knew what Lan Bin meant, not to mention Lan Bin's great future, that is, his brotherly relationship with Lan Yu's brother-in-law Chang Yuchun, as well as his friendship with Lan Yu.
It is impossible to ignore it.
What's more, the reason why he went to the sailor, Zhu Yuanzhang also pointed out, was to provide convenience for Lan Bin's smuggling fleet.
I couldn't help but say, "You kid, the abacus has hit me. Tell me, how do you want me to help?"
"Uncle Tang, I want to ask you to transfer two warships from the Navy Division to me, as well as related personnel, and..." Lan Bin was overjoyed and hurriedly said.
The soup and face were green, originally thought that Lan Bin just wanted to order an old ship from the sailor and equip some personnel, but he didn't expect Lan Bin to have such a big appetite, and he opened his mouth to ask for a battleship.
And one or more still needs two.
Battleships are different from ordinary merchant ships, not to mention the preciousness of battleships, and the number of battleships in the naval division is not much.
The most important thing is that the warships of the naval division are all counted, and even after he goes to the naval division to take office, he is not qualified to give away the battleships at will.
And the battleship is also sensitive.
If it is given to Lan Bin, it is easy to fall into the hands of others, and once it is impeached by those civil officials, it will be a bullet and an accurate.
Thinking about it, he regretted taking it all in kind, and hurriedly said, "Boy Lan Bin, you are embarrassing me. Can a battleship be given away easily?"
"I dare to give it to you today, I will have to lose my head tomorrow!"
"Uncle Tang, you wait for me to finish, I didn't ask you to send it, I said to buy it!" Lan Bin explained.
"Buy? That's pretty much it... Wait, you can't buy it. There are a number of ships in the navy, and one less is a felony!"
Tang Hegang subconsciously said a word, reacted suddenly, and shook his head.
Of course, Lan Bin knew that what Tang He said was true, but he didn't want to give up so easily, you must know that during this period, the sea was not safe, and there were pirates everywhere.
In particular, Yongchang Houfu has no foundation in maritime trade.
It is easy to attract some maritime merchants and pirates to peep at the sea for the first time, and if you are not fully prepared, it is easy to go to sea and fight eggs.
Thinking about it, he thought about it and deliberately tempted him, "Uncle Tang, things are dead, but people are alive. If the battleship of the naval division is missing for no reason, it is naturally a felony. But if the battleship is divided and the battle damage is reported, won't it be fine?"
"You know, there are so many pirates and pirates on the sea, and it's normal to have a naval battle and lose two warships!"
"No, it's not negotiable!" Tang He shook his head.
Lan Bin's method sounds very operational, but in fact, there are still great risks.
In particular, he is not alone
has the final say, once the news leaks, it will be a catastrophe.
Moreover, he has always been cautious, how could he do such a thing that has the risk of cutting off his head. Look at the book
Lan Bin continued, "Uncle Tang..."
"Lan Bin's nephew, this thing really can't be done, you better go to the emperor and ask for a will!" Tang He interrupted.
Lan Bin looked at Tang He's resolute attitude, and while he was a little regretful, he finally understood why Tang He died well. Just because of his cautiousness, Zhu Yuanzhang will not suspect anyone who suspects him.
It's a pity that Tang He's descendants either died in infancy or died on the battlefield.
After the beginning of Tang He, the prestige of Xinguo Gong has been greatly reduced.
Thinking about it, he nodded, "Okay! Then I won't embarrass Uncle Tang. Regarding the warship, I went to ask the emperor for his will. But in terms of personnel, Uncle Tang, you have to select a group of elite soldiers for me in the water division!"
"Don't worry, I promise to select a group of elite soldiers for you!" Soup and breathe a sigh of relief, assured.
As long as he doesn't mention the matter of the battleship, the arrangement of personnel or anything, for him, it is not too simple.
After all, there are tens of thousands of sailors, and it is not a matter to draw hundreds or thousands of people from them.
What's more, Lan Bin still has to find the emperor to ask for a battleship.
If the emperor agrees to sell the battleship to Lan Bin, it will not hurt him to transfer manpower from the naval division. If the emperor did not agree to sell the battleship to Lan Bin, he naturally did not need to transfer manpower from the sailors.
After all, Lan Bin doesn't even have a boat, so naturally he doesn't need people.
Lan Bin smiled, "Then I'll thank Uncle Tang first!"
"It's all your own people, don't be so polite!"
Tang He waved his hand, exchanged a few more words with Lan Bin, looked at Lan Bin, and said seriously: "Lan Bin's nephew, there are some things that should not be said. But your uncle and I are brothers."
"There are some things that I think need to warn you about!"
"Uncle Thom, please speak!" Lan Bin was surprised in his heart, but said respectfully on his face.
Tang He nodded, and said, "Nephew Lan Bin, although you are young, you are highly regarded by the emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and you are often summoned to you. That's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing!"
"As the saying goes, if you walk by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet!"
"To accompany the king, you must remember four words, be cautious, understand?!"
Today in the Imperial Garden, he saw how strong Lan Bin's holy family was, and he had no doubt how bright Lan Bin's future was.
The only thing that worries him is Lan Bin's age.
After all, Lan Bin is only thirteen or fourteen years old, even if he talks and does things, he is quite disciplined, but his age is there, and it is inevitable that he will be young and vigorous and negligent in doing things.
And the companion is like a tiger, once something goes wrong, it will kill people.
He felt the need to warn one or two.
Of course, this is also for the sake of Chang Yuchun and Lan Yu, so he has one more mouth.
In other people, he is too lazy to speak.
"Thank you Uncle Tang for the reminder, I made a note of it!" Lan Bin knew that Tang He was doing it for his own good, and said gratefully.
Tang He saw that Lan Bin listened, nodded with satisfaction, and changed the topic to chat with Lan Bin.
Soon, the carriage in which the two were riding stopped, and Thursday's voice sounded outside the car: "Young Master, the newspaper office has arrived!"
