Chapter 555: Entrusted with a Heavy Task

Di Renjie is fifteen years old this year, and he is already an upright man.

He handed over some matters of the Wa Kingdom to Di Renjie to be responsible, mainly the construction of the city.

Di Renjie stood up, he was very excited now, he finally participated in an official meeting of the palace.

"Lord Qiqi, we bought a large piece of land in the country of Wa near Silla,

This place is not very far from their Dazaifu, close to the Hizen Domain, this place fully meets your requirements, Lord Wang,

We can attack and retreat, and we can defend it, and the place is so big that it's all wasteland, so we can build a city by ourselves.

At the moment, we're just fenced off a ten-mile radius and built a market first.

But a hundred miles are our territory.

The craftsmen recruited were also refugees recruited from Baekje and Goguryeo, and they were only allowed to go out in charge of burning bricks and firing cement within our walls. ”

After Di Renjie finished speaking, he looked at Li Shen,

And Li Shen was also very generous and affirmed Di Renjie.

"Well, you're doing a good job, but it's going to be faster, and I've heard some people from the Wakoku say they're all coming from Namba Port.

This Namba Port should be a very prosperous place, do you know what Namba Port is? ”

Li Shen is very familiar with Namba Port, and the reason is very simple, mainly because the name was mentioned in various time-traveling novels he had read in his previous life.

And many novels use this as a starting point to stir up trouble in the Wa Kingdom.

So Li Shen was very interested in the place of Namba Port.

"Back to the prince, Namba Port is an inland city." Di Renjie replied.

"What do you say, inland city, do you think this king is stupid?

It is said that it is a port city, and the Japanese people who came here came by ship from Namba Port.

Can they still row on land? Li Shen said angrily.

"Lord Wang, please wait a moment." After Di Renjie finished speaking, he grabbed the door and walked out, he also had a small courtyard in the outer courtyard of the palace.

He quickly brought a map from his lodging and placed it on the table.

"Look, my lord, this is Namba Port, although he is a port city, but he corresponds to the inland sea, and there are islands on both sides.

It's very close to their capital, and the people who can come to my Datang to study are all rich or noble.

That's why they all got on board from the port of Namba, and they went out from here, passing through the place we bought.

Go along the coast of Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, and finally enter the mouth of the Yellow River and go upstream.

It would take them a month to reach Weishui and then to Chang'an. ”

Di Renjie is very serious, it is the first time for him to do such a big thing for the palace, and this matter is related to the strategic issue of the palace in a region.

So Di Renjie has done a lot of homework.

Li Shen followed Di Renjie's finger and looked at it, indeed, Namba Port is an inland port city in the inland sea,

After a long and narrow sea area, you can really enter the sea,

Li Shen read it for a long time, and he felt that the novels in his previous life were really nonsense.

Even if you occupy it, you can't do much.

As long as the Wa Kingdom intercepts the strait for you, then you can only take the land route, so how can you stir up trouble here in the Wa State with a little men.

And it's very close to the capital of the Wa Kingdom, and the Wa Kingdom won't let you stir up the wind and rain here.

Li Shen glanced at the place chosen by the palace again, at the very edge of the Wa Kingdom, very close to Silla, and not far from Dazaifu.

Dazaifu is similar to the Assassin's Palace, the administrative body of the Governor's Office, and there must be many powerful people in it.

It is convenient for Li Shen's fleet to move in all directions, and the place is indeed a good place.

"Well, this place is really good, we have to develop here first, and slowly grow,

first build a city, and then expand a little bit,

Huaiying, since you are in charge of the Wa Kingdom, then the king will officially hand over the Wa State plan to you,

The king asks you to move quickly, and if you are short on manpower, you can recruit some poor local people in the local area.

Or let the fleet transport craftsmen from the Goguryeo side.

There is only one request from this king, and within a year, this king will see the completion of this square city.

When the time comes, the king will send his soldiers to guard it in the name of a guard.

That's all your work in the early stage, and when it's finished, the king will tell you about the work in the later stage. ”

Li Shen is ready to give Di Renjie a test, which is also an affirmation of him,

In the past two years, he has learned a lot by Wang Xuance's side, but he has not completed the task alone.

After Di Renjie heard Li Shen's words, he was extremely excited, and from this moment on, he also had the opportunity to squeeze into the several giants of King Ji's Mansion and become the fourth giant.

"My lord, the minister asked to go to the Wa Kingdom in person to supervise this matter.

It's also good to make a front stop for the prince. ”

Di Renjie bowed and said.

Li Shen frowned, Di Renjie was very compassionate and he understood it very well, but Li Shen was still not very relieved to go to the Japanese Kingdom alone.

After all, Di Renjie is still young, only fifteen years old, if something happens, Li Shen will pay someone a son.

"Huaiying, this king knows that you want to do things for the palace, but the country is far away,

And it's also at sea, and the sky is unpredictable, and sea navigation is extremely dangerous.

This king doesn't want you to take risks. Li Shen explained.

"Lord, there is only one steward of King Ji's Mansion in the Wa Kingdom now, and he is also from Huangzhuang,

If there is no one to supervise it, what will go wrong.

The minister knows that His Royal Highness is worried about the safety of the minister, but I, Aye, have taught the minister since I was a child,

The man's ambition is in all directions, and the minister will ask for it after careful consideration, and ask the prince to give the minister a chance. ”

Di Renjie has a tough attitude.

"Alas~~" Li Shen sighed.

"Huaiying, after you went to ask your father, you will reply to this king tomorrow, this king really doesn't want you to go.

The Wa Kingdom is a barbarian land, and there are often some rogues.

You are not married now, if something happens to you, how can this king explain to you?

Go and ask you, Ayya. Li Shen could only say that.

"Thank you, Your Highness King Ji." Di Renjie is grateful, he knows that although his father is not very relieved, his father knows that this is an opportunity.

If things are done well this time, Di Renjie will squeeze into the ranks of the four giants of Jiwangfu,

In the future, it can be said that the career will be smooth and prosperous.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

Next, it was Wang Xuance's turn, because Wang Xuance had been following Li Shen to the Guangdong Governor's Mansion for a few months.

So there's nothing wrong with that.

Li Shen said to Wang Xuance:

"Xuan Ce, send someone to Fuzhou quickly, notify the pirate group, and put on a play,

hijacked five cargo ships, and then sent people to publicize it in a crowded place in the port of Fuzhou.

said that the money ship of King Ji's Mansion was robbed by the pirates, and then informed Zhao Laosi,

Let his people not operate in the coastal areas of the Tang Dynasty for three months, and the imperial court is ready to clear the Japanese invaders.

Let them go to Goguryeo, Baekje, and the Silla area, and rob some merchant ships if they have nothing to do,

As long as things don't need people, there are too many people in Pirate Island, which is not a good thing. ”
