At the beginning of May, the apse of the Zhangtai.

"Your Majesty, the Qinnan Peninsula has won a great victory!"

Zhang Han walked in happily, his face filled with deep joy.

I put down the report in my hand, raised my head and said with a smile: "What is there to be excited about in a small Qinnan Peninsula, as expected!" ”

Zhang Han smiled: "Your Majesty, do you know how many people Jing Zhu has lost?" ”

"How much?"

"Not a single soldier was lost!"

"Oh?" I was surprised: "There are no casualties? ”

Zhang Han nodded and said with a smile: "It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that not a single soldier or soldier was lost, but there are more than a dozen people who vomit and diarrhea because they can't stand the bumps on the sea." ”

I picked up the military newspaper on the case and read it carefully, shook my head and said, "It seems that the oppression of these barbarians with muskets is really incomparable!" ”

"Not bad. After Jing Zhu got there, he first let the musketeers get off the boat, directly led the troops to attack the various tribes, and threatened that he was a heavenly soldier, and those who dared to disobey would send down the sky to destroy it!

Under the deterrence of musketeers, the follow-up Qin soldiers occupied the entire plain without bloodshed, and many barbarians in the jungle also begged to surrender. ”

I put down the military newspaper in my hand, pondered for a while, and said, "It's going so well, we have to hurry up the matter of shipping." ”

Then he raised his head and ordered: "Rare book, summon Sima Li!" ”

After a while, Sima Li came in a hurry.

"See Your Majesty!"

"No courtesy." I waved my hand, "Sit down." ”

"What's going on with the shipbuilding in Panyu Port?"

"Back to Your Majesty, now we have just begun to prepare the wood for shipbuilding, although the shipbuilding technology of Panyu Port is very mature, but it takes time for the wood to be transported to Panyu Port, and most craftsmen have to take care of building warships at the same time, I am afraid it will take at least a year to build the first merchant ship."

I thought about it for a moment and commanded, "You send someone...... No, it's better to make a trip by yourself and inform all the merchants who have the strength to buy merchant ships and let them go to Panyu Port. ”

Sima Li was puzzled: "Your Majesty, this is ......?"

"Bidding!"

As I spoke, Sima Li's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Your Majesty is wise, in this way, you can let the merchant pay a part of the money and grain in advance, which can not only speed up the construction of merchant ships, but also ensure the sales of merchant ships, which is really killing two birds with one stone!"

Immediately, he was a little worried: "Your Majesty, what if no one responds to the mark?" ”

"You don't have to worry about this, at least two will participate, and they will order more than one, I will arrange it."

"Yes!"

Sima Li went in a hurry.

"Zhang Han, you go back and arrange the garrison of the Qinnan Peninsula." I muttered, "Although this victory was so easy, it is difficult to say whether the barbarians will still bow down to orders like this in the future, so be careful to guard against it." ”

Zhang Han arched his hand and said: "The minister obeys the order!" In addition, will the Qinnan Peninsula send more officials and inspectors? ”

I shook my head: "The Qinnan Peninsula will maintain its current state for the time being, and then wait for the second scientific expedition this year." ”

Great Qin is too short of talents, and after Xiao Wu sent him to the Western Regions, there is no one who can reassure me to hand over the entire peninsula to him.

"The minister understands, the minister retires!"

After Zhang Han left, Meng He came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Ying Lan asks to see you!" ”

I smiled slightly: "Let her in, you can sit too." ”

Meng Yiyi was stunned but didn't say anything, turned around and brought Ying Lan in, and sat down after saluting.

I looked at Ying Lan, who was obviously a lot more mature, and praised: "I have the spirit of Tao Yao!" ”

Ying Lan smiled like a flower, and arched her hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

"I asked Meng He a few days ago, I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you busy with?"

Ying Lan took out a white silk from her sleeve and presented it to me, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the matter of Yueding has an eyebrow. ”

This Nizi hasn't been there for a long time, and I guess it's just that.

Open the white silk, which describes in detail the organizational structure and personnel distribution of Yueding, because it is not a spy agency like a clean room, so it is not complicated, and the information collected is a well-known thing, but it is responsible for truthful reporting and summarizing the task.

I nodded with satisfaction and complimented again, "Good! You are indebted. ”

"For Your Majesty!"

I looked at Meng He and smiled, "Do you know what Yueding is?" ”

Meng He lowered his head and arched his hand: "Please show your majesty." ”

I briefly explained Yueding's responsibilities while observing his reaction.

Meng He's tone was just more respectful: "The minister understands, Miss Yinglan is really brilliant and enlightened, and she should be an example for the minister." ”

I laughed: "She just took a look at Qianshou's living situation for me, a little trivial, nothing." ”

Ying Lan also chimed in: "Yes, the concubine is a businessman after all, how can she be compared with Shang Shu's servant, it is really a concubine." ”

Meng He also raised his head and said with a smile: "Miss Yinglan is too modest. ”

"Alright, you two don't blow each other in this business." I waved my hand, restrained my smile and said, "Meng He, you have been carefully observing the Shangke Qin Shi recently, and I want to select someone to be the supervision envoy of the Qinnan Peninsula, the matter is very important, and you must not be negligent!" ”

Meng He arched his hand and said solemnly: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

"Go ahead, I'll talk to Yinglan."

"Retire!"

After Meng He left, I smiled and asked, "How?" ”

Ying Lan raised her eyebrows and said a little playfully: "Your Majesty's mind is too obvious!" ”

"Hahaha......" I laughed awkwardly a few times, and turned my head to look at Zhao Shanben: "Is it so obvious?" ”

Zhao Shanben: "Back to Your Majesty,...... Nor is it ...... Particularly noticeable......"

……

I shook my head depressedly and looked at Ying Lan: "Getting back to business, since I came, I just happened to tell you about it." ”

Ying Lan said obediently: "Listen to Your Majesty's orders!" ”

"I've heard that Panyu Port is building merchant ships, right?"

"I heard that there are a few big businessmen discussing this matter, but they are all a little worried, I don't know what kind of merchant ship it is, and whether it can withstand the wind and waves at sea."

"Hmm." I nodded, "It's understandable to be worried. I asked Sima Li to inform the merchants that a tender would be organized in Panyu Port next month, and that they would have the opportunity to see the renderings of the merchant ships and the dimensions of the docks. ”

Ying Lan knew what the tender meant, and thought for a while: "Your Majesty wants the concubine to start a baby?" ”

I clapped my hands together: "Clever! Buying two merchant ships shouldn't be a problem for you, in addition to you, I will also have someone inform Wu Shimu that the two of you will assist Sima Li in handling the shipping matter. ”

Ying Lan nodded slightly, and arched her hand: "Concubine understands, Your Majesty is at ease!" ”

"In addition, you and Wu Shi Mu have to firmly control most of the merchant ships by sea, you don't need to say much, Wu Shi Mu is also trustworthy, sea transportation is not better than land transportation, it must be controlled by the imperial court."

Ying Lan has traveled south and north in the past few years, and has done business in the entire Daqin, of course she understands the stakes and says, "Concubine understands!" ”
