The Ruan brothers looked at the Tong brothers, and the Tong brothers looked at the Ruan brothers, all looking at each other. But no one could say a word.

"For months, boats were not allowed to dock, so they had to fish and eat from the sea. And if it doesn't rain, then the water will stink for a few months, and it will be easy to get sick when you drink it often, what can the generals do to deal with it?"

“......”

One by one, difficulties were thrown out of Li Zhongjun's mouth, and he said as if he was doing something wrong. The generals of the navy who had never been to sea before were pale.

Wen Fei almost snickered on the side, although what Li Zhongjun said was not wrong, these things may be encountered in the voyage. But if you go to Liaodong, or even go to Goryeo, the Japanese country, it is not such an exaggeration at all.

If you go to Liaodong Goryeo, you can directly drive along the coastline. As for the Wakoku country, according to the route at this time, they all started from Meishu, crossed the East China Sea, arrived at Kajima Island in Japan, and then transferred to Hakata Port. It is the same as the southern route of the Tang Dynasty, and the whole journey takes about seven days.

Almost all of them don't meet the things that Li Zhongjun said. But these commanders of Liangshanbo's naval army are sitting in the well and watching the sky one by one, and they are very unruly, some people come to pick their eyebrows and give them a few soft nails to touch, but Wen Fei is willing to see it.

"The villain is a perennial sailor, and his subordinates are all old seamen, and they are familiar with the sea situation. If Father Shang doesn't give up, the villain is willing to work for Father Shang!"

Saying that, Li Zhongjun knelt on the ground with a click, and the shipmasters behind him only reacted at this time. Follow the scramble to serve the Wenda Heavenly Master.

Wen Fei was immediately overjoyed, he originally wanted to subdue these people. Otherwise, why would you want to come out today?

He laughed and said, "Everyone, this Heavenly Master is about to ask for your help. With a wave of Wen Fei's hand, there was an invisible force. Lifted them all up.

In this day and age, these experienced old sailors are a great asset. Especially for Wen Fei, a person who has a clear understanding of the sea.

At this time, the commanders of the eight naval armies of Liangshanbo could already be said to be as pale as dirt. The situation of the wolf bèi is somewhat similar to the water dog that has just been abandoned by its owner and fallen into a pond.

Wen Fei coughed dryly, and said to those original Liangshanbo commanders with a straight face: "You know that sailing is not easy. In the future, you have to learn from others. Don't pay the boss all day long, you second child!"

These naval commanders listened to Wen Fei's merciless reprimand, and they were ashamed and secretly happy. It seems that the Great Heavenly Master didn't have the idea of knocking them over with a stick. You still have to use them. I rejoiced in my heart, and the reprimand for the Heavenly Master of Wenda should all be honest!

Wen Fei is now organizing the navy, and he has no plans to go to the sea for the time being, just running to the near sea. These naval generals are honest and humble to learn. It should be up to date.

The most important thing is. Wen Fei didn't worry that his fleet was completely controlled by Li Zhongjun's group.

He didn't know anything about Li Zhongjun's gang at all, and guessed that Li Zhongjun and these guys were all pirates. No one knows if these daring pirates will look like their ships have run away.

On the contrary, these commanders of the Liangshanbo naval army, no matter how unruly they are, their families, relatives, righteous brothers, and all social relations are in the Great Song Dynasty, but they are much more reliable.

Take 10,000 steps back, and don't let your subordinates unite to deceive together. This is a means that every qualified superior should master.

"The villain was supposed to serve his father, but the villain was so virtuous. Useless. I can't fight, I can't go to the sea, that is, I rely on the shadow of my ancestors to eat, and it's useless to Father Shang......" Seeing Wen Fei's gaze move over, he secretly complained to himself, and said stubbornly.

Wen Fei looked up to the sky and snorted, and said with a smile: "Yu Yuanwai is really polite, to have such a big family business, it is also a great ability to keep it." This Heavenly Master is about to ask Yu Wai to help take care of some maritime business!"

Qian Bancheng smiled bitterly and was frightened, and asked, "Could it be that Father Shang wants to meddle in maritime trade?"

Wen Fei laughed: "This Heavenly Master has already reported to the official family and handed over these several city divisions to this Heavenly Master to take care of. In the future, all merchant ships coming and going to the Great Song Dynasty without passing through the city will be dealt with as smuggling pirates......"

As soon as these words came out, half of the city was like a dull stick on the head, and he was bitter in his heart. Xindao has these terrifying steamers, and with Li Zhongjun, a guy who is familiar with the sea situation, the sea in the future will be controlled by this Wenda Heavenly Master. Where is the way for others to live?

And what made him even more frightened was that the five major cities of the Great Song Dynasty could increase the income of the imperial court by about two million yuan a year. This is the money bag of the imperial court, but the Heavenly Master of Wen asked for it from the court in a word. What kind of energy is this?

In fact, Master Wen was already quite dissatisfied with the City Division. What are you kidding, the five major cities only earn two million yuan a year?

Others don't know the astonishing profits of the sea trade, but can the Heavenly Master of Wenda not know it? At this time, the Guangzhou City Shipping Company, which is the best, has an annual income of only 780,000 yuan. When he heard this number for the first time, Great Heavenly Master Wen almost didn't scream.

In the opinion of the Heavenly Master of Wenda, if the five major cities do not earn 10 or 20 million yuan a year, what else can they do?

You must know that these five major city ships have a monopoly on overseas trade, and the imperial court ordered that ordinary merchants should be strictly prohibited from free trade, and all ships entering and leaving the port must hold a "public certificate" issued by the city and be supervised by military ships. When a merchant returns from going to sea for trade, he can only return to the port of origin and is not allowed to enter other ports without permission.

is such a monopoly, and it only earns such a small amount of money a year, which is simply not a son of man.

Therefore, Wenda Heavenly Master only mentioned that he could increase the annual income of these five major city companies to more than 10 million yuan, and immediately made Zhao Ji and the ministers of the imperial court happily hand over the city department to Wenda Heavenly Master to manage.

But this Li Zhongjun secretly called it a fluke, and he was glad in his heart, fortunately he took refuge in the Heavenly Master first. Otherwise, it will ......

He was secretly rejoicing in his stomach, but he heard Wen Fei shouting: "The court has a will, Li Zhongjun listens to the order!"

Li Zhongjun had never seen such a thing, and he stayed for a long time before he reacted. A white and chubby official came over to announce the decree: "Under the door, I heard that there are righteous people surnamed Li on the sea, and they have a loyal and patriotic heart......

The edict of the Great Song Dynasty was much simpler, and there was no Huazao that was like that of the later generations, and it is estimated that it was the result of not yet implementing the eight-strand text. Of course, it is also a little more elegant than the verbal decree of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

Anyway, Li Zhongjun, who hadn't read for a few days, could understand it, and suddenly his emotions fell out of control and knelt on the ground, almost snot and tears flowed out.

To put it bluntly, this product is an official! And it is not a petty official, although the name is quite strange, it is called the captain of the anti-smuggling team of the Great Song Customs. It sounds like it's just a small captain, but it's a real seven-rank military attaché.

You must know that whether you are a thief or a pirate, anyway, in Middle-earth, as long as you are a thief, there is no one who does not want to be an official. This is called murder and arson.

Even the later generations of Wang Zhi, as well as pirates as big as Zheng Chenggong's father Zheng Zhilong, were recruited by the imperial court. And even if this Li Zhongjun has some small forces at sea, how can he compare with that kind of sea pirate with thousands of warships and hundreds of thousands of subordinates?

Even if this Li Zhongjun took refuge in Wen Fei, his father, he never thought that he could be an official. To put it bluntly, these guys, who are far away from the center of the imperial court in Tokyo City, don't know exactly how much influence Wenda Heavenly Master has on the imperial court and Zhao Ji, an official.

"Villain, villain...... Thanks to the cultivation of the Heavenly Master, the villain will be rewarded in the next life...... No, no, the villain will also be a cow and a horse in this life to repay his father's great kindness......"

Seeing this guy suspected of being a pirate crying excitedly, Wen Fei once again realized exactly how attractive being an official is for a Chinese.

It seems that for Chinese, nothing in the world is the right way, as if only being an official is the real right way. This is especially true for the ancients.

Especially for a maritime merchant like Li Zhongjun or a suspected pirate, no matter how big he is, what can he do? If you want to glorify your ancestors, you can glorify the lintel...... , you still have to be an official!

And as I have said before, the official grade of this Great Song Dynasty is not like that of later generations, when one product and two products are flying all over the sky. In this Great Song Dynasty, a dignified Baili Hou, who is in charge of a radius of 100 miles, and the parents of tens of thousands of people know the county, but they are only seven or eight grades.

A civil official of the fourth or fifth grade can enter the central Pingzhang military state and become the prime minister. Even the military attache of these seven grades is definitely not small.

"Villain......" Wen Fei's gaze turned to this half-city body. At this time, Bancheng hesitated, and Ban Yan was also under this huge temptation, and before the real threat in front of him, he said: "The villain is also willing to serve Shang's father!"

Wen Fei's smile became more and more kind, the most important thing in the 21st century is talent. In this 11th century, it is more important to have people. In these years, it is not easy to find a group of skilled sailors who can be used for their own purposes!

"Good, good. Yu Yuan is willing to serve the imperial court, that is the best!" Wen Fei said with a smile: "Now the promotion of the Hangzhou City Bo Division has been recruited back by the imperial court. This Hangzhou City Bosi Imperial Court has all been handed over to this Heavenly Master to handle, and who is appointed in it is a matter of this Heavenly Master's words!" (To be continued......)
