Chapter 489 This Prefect Shen is not very talented, but his heart is wild enough
Chapter 489
In addition to the huge dragon boat, there are dozens of light boats, which are much slender than this dragon boat.
However, they also have different shapes, including beauty ships, climbing ships, and thousand-mile ships with different functions.
Looking at the boats that were all completed and moored on the river, Yang Qian slowly shook his head.
One hundred thousand guan, more than a thousand boatmen were needed, and the wood consumed was unfathomable.
This is already the third dragon boat built by Yang Guang since he ascended the throne. The first one was because the shape was not beautiful enough.
Yang Guang only used it in Dongdu, and the second ship was burned due to military rebellion.
This third ship may become a historical witness to the death of the emperor of the Sui Dynasty in Jiangdu.
"Zijing, what's wrong? I've been looking at this dragon boat for a long time without saying a word." Changsun Wuji stood up and said with a smile.
"Nothing, I just hope that this dragon boat can safely welcome His Majesty to Jiangdu and send him back."
Changsun Wuji's brows jumped when he heard these words, and he subconsciously turned his face to look at Yang Qian.
"Don't worry, the ship is fine. I'm just worried. Your Majesty is still patrolling the south of the Yangtze River at a time like this. Do you really want to abandon the whole world?"
"Who can guess His Majesty's thoughts?" Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief. He thought that Yang Qian had secretly done something to the dragon boat. It seemed that he was overthinking.
Also, with the friendship between Yang Zijing and the emperor today, coupled with this buddy's character, it is indeed impossible to do such a thing.
Perhaps the reason why he has been so forbearing now has something to do with the fact that His Majesty is so kind to him.
However, Changsun Wuji vaguely felt that the lord in his mind seemed to be looking not for the present, but for the future.
He could also feel that Yang Qian seemed not to want Yang Guangnan to visit the south of the Yangtze River, but also seemed to be looking forward to it.
A very complex emotion that is really difficult to understand.
However, Changsun Wuji was happy. If he couldn't figure it out, he just asked directly.
After hearing Changsun Wuji's words, Yang Qian took a serious look at him.
"If your majesty comes to Jiangdu, if I am here, your majesty will not have to worry about his safety. If I am not here..."
Yang Qian didn't say any more, he just waved his hand and said no more.
The path he is taking now is indeed similar but not the same as the path that Wang Shichong took in the past.
At this time, Zhili was seen walking quickly and came to Yang Qian's side, muttering a few words in a low voice.

Jiang Yuanchao sat in the prefect's mansion quite uneasily. After waiting for a long time, he finally heard the footsteps coming from outside.
"It turns out it's Brother Dingle, Yang is so polite..." Yang Qian couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the person coming. This Jiang Yuanchao was also a very talented official.
Yang Qian had wanted to recruit him from Kuaiji County before, but instead he transferred him to Wu County as Prime Minister. In other words, he was given the second-in-command position by Shen Faxing, the prefect of Wu County who had trouble with Yang Qian.
However, although this Jiang Yuanchao was also from Jiangnan, his roots were in Jiangdu. Therefore, when Wu County dealt with Jiangdu County, Shen Faxing would usually assign this person to travel between Jiangdu and Wu County.
"I don't dare to accept it. I have met Yang Jiangdu and Changsun Juncheng. I am here to present a batch of Taihu stones for the imperial use..."
Although Jiang Yuanchao was talking to Yang Qian, he was obviously a little uneasy. Yang Qian saw it and didn't say anything.
After talking for a while, Changsun Wuji sent Jiang Yuanchao out of the prefect's mansion.
It was just that not long after Changsun Wuji went out, he hurried back again, his face full of excitement.
"Zijing, it seems that Shen Faxing is going to be in bad luck."
"what happened?"
"You also know that Jiang Yuanchao has always been dissatisfied with the fact that Shen Faxing has monopolized power in Wu County and almost treated Wu County as a single party. However, he, the county magistrate, has been in Wu County for two years, but he can only do some odd jobs."
"Or just be like a coolie and be ordered around by Shen Faxing all day long..."
"..." Looking at Changsun Wuji, who was talking erratically, Yang Qian silently took two sips of Liangbaikai and then raised a finger at Changsun Wuji.
"Can you just get to the point?"
"...Okay, the point is, you also know that the Shen family is a wealthy family in Wu County. In Wu County..."
"I know what you're talking about. Grandson, please stop being so verbose." Yang Qian's whole body was feeling bad. Why is this guy so chatty?
Every time he talked about something, he would talk about a bunch of causes and consequences. It made Yang Qian want to throw this guy into a manure pit to refresh himself.
Changsun Wuji saw Yang Qian's obviously darkened face and was quite unwilling, but he had no choice but to get to the point.
The Shen family has great influence in Wu County, but the Shen family's financial resources are derived from traveling across the sea to do business, although they have not conducted cross-sea trade or anything like that.
But at least we can transport goods south or north along the coast, and transport special products from the south of the Yangtze River for trade.
It is precisely because of this that the Shen family has a large fleet, and Shen Faxing is the governor of Wu County. Naturally, it is impossible to just sit and look at Jinshan without being tempted.
Therefore, the largest fleet of the Shen family in Wujun is under his name.
When doing sea trade and boating, there are many thieves along the coast, so naturally, there are also guards on board.
"His confidants accidentally heard that Shen Faxing wanted to strengthen his own fleet.
The five hundred leather armors, one hundred pairs of iron armors, and two hundred crossbows that originally belonged to the soldiers of Wujun were all taken away from the account on the grounds that they were damaged..."
After hearing this, Yang Qian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and gently played with the water glass in his hand.
"It seems that in his heart, he is not just seeking money. This is fine. This prefect of Shen Fa Xing Shen is not very capable, but his heart is quite wild."
"That's what I mean to respect you..."
"As the deposed ambassador of the twelve counties of Jiangnan Province in the Sui Dynasty, I not only have to suppress the bandits and cause civil unrest in the twelve counties of Jiangnan Province, but also have the authority and responsibility to recruit and recruit talents and promote and demote officials."
"Since Shen Faxing has violated the laws of the court, I should naturally teach him the laws of the Sui Dynasty."
"Zijing, don't forget, the Shen family owns one of the best fleets and shipyards in Jiangnan. If you can..."
"How do you think these things should be done? Come up with a plan for me. But the most important thing for you now is to appease that Jiang Juncheng."
"Tell him to go back quickly, keep a close eye on Shen Faxing, and never alert him."
After Yang Qian gave Changsun Wuji a few words of advice, he left in a hurry. He summoned Li Shimin and asked him to rush to the Jiangdu camp outside the city to deliver the message.
Five days later, when the new battalions were rotating, Yang Qian, the deposed ambassador of the twelve counties of Jiangnan Province, quietly accompanied the soldiers of Jiangdu Camp and left Jiangdu County for Wu County.
This kind of normal duty rotation has long been accustomed to officials and even people in the Jiangnan area.
The Jiangdu Army has always maintained a neat military appearance. The most important thing is that military discipline is extremely strict. When walking through the streets and towns, there is always no offense.
On the contrary, the common people who were afraid of everyone when they saw him in the past, but now when they see Jiang Dujun, they just stare at the excitement with wide eyes, instead of running around in panic.
