Li Er's eyes flickered, and his mood was a bit complicated. He loved and hated Qin Huaidao. What he loved was his talent, but what he hated was also his talent. If he was in his prime and fearless, he felt more and more unwell recently, but his successor was...
It has not been cultivated yet and hidden dangers must be eliminated.
You can't kill, you can't use, and now your daughter is not cooperating. She feels like she is betrayed by others and left alone. This feeling makes Li Er feel aggrieved.
But for the sake of the Li family, something must be done.
Li Er looked at Yuzhang, his eyes were firm and sharp, and he said coldly: "From today onwards, the ban will be lifted. Go to Qinjiazhuang more often. You will be eighteen in one year, and I will marry you into the Qin Mansion with great fanfare.
"
"Who can say what will happen in one year?" Yu Zhang agreed.
"Are you blaming me?"
"I don't dare. I'm just telling the truth. Maybe Huaidao won't marry me again in a year."
"What man doesn't like to have sex? You are naturally beautiful, and your beauty is unparalleled. With that boy's desire for female sex, he will definitely not refuse, so the matter is settled." Li Er said and stood up to leave.
Yuzhang watched Li Er's leaving figure, felt a pain in his heart, and murmured softly: "Father, do you know that his love for beauty is just a pretense, a means of self-protection... My son may still have some love for sex now,
A year from now I may not be able to use you as a bargaining chip to win over ministers."
Li Er didn't hear what Yu Zhang was thinking, so he came out with a cold face. He hurried all the way and was worried. He walked to Ganlu Hall and shouted: "It's a decree that Tang Xun, a very talented and loyal member, is going to teach shipbuilding in Yangzhou."
Ambassador, take office immediately and be responsible for supervising the construction of sea-going ships without any mistakes."
"According to the decree!" Wang De hurriedly prepared the decree.
Not long after, the edict was drawn up by the petitioner and sent to Fang Xuanling, the minister of Zhongshu, for signature and seal. He then reviewed it with his subordinates, and finally approved it with the imperial seal. The edict procedure was completed. It was reasonable, legal, and justifiable. It represented the will of the imperial court and was directly approved by the emperor.
The decree issued is called the Zhongzhi, which is also an imperial edict, and the six ministries do not have to obey it.
Fang Xuanling was a little nervous after reading the decree. Tang Xun was quite talented and had worked in the Ministry of Household Affairs for a period of time, responsible for building bridges, building courtyards and other matters. However, Hou Junji's son-in-law, Hou Junji, rebelled, and the emperor missed his old friendship.
The nine tribes were not destroyed, so Tang Xun was able to survive and stay at home.
Now that the Holy One has enabled this person, he must be grateful and loyal. The Holy One's desire to support new forces is truly immortal. Forget it, let him go.
Fang Xuanling's thoughts flashed through her mind, and she wrote "please ask the subordinates to investigate and verify", and passed the blame to the subordinates.
It's all a matter of process. Who dares to say no to someone appointed by the Holy Spirit?
After the imperial edict was handed over to the people below to take away, the more Fang Xuanling thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. After getting off duty, he hurried back to his house and found Fang Yiai to give him a few words. The other party nodded in agreement, left quietly, and went straight to Qinjiazhuang.
People in Qinjiazhuang were very familiar with Fang Yiai. Qin Huaidao had told her not to intercept her, and the guard would let her go directly. Fang Yiai rode a horse in a circle, looking at the beautiful scenery, the smiling people, the blue-tiled houses, and the large college.
With emotion, what was once a barren land has now become a paradise.
When I came to the courtyard on the top of the mountain, I saw Qin Huaidao and his family making hot pot in the pavilion in the courtyard. He stepped forward and said, "You are not afraid of the heat when you eat hot pot on a hot day?"
"Hot pot with cold beer on a hot day is a once in a lifetime experience, want some?"
"That's fine!" Fang Yiai's eyes lit up when she saw the cold beer, and she was not polite.
Immediately, a servant brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks. Fang Yiai gave He'er a greeting. Li Xueyan sat down after saying hello and handed a rectangular sandalwood box to He'er: "Brother and sister, it would be disrespectful to give your little niece a gift."
"Sir Fang, you're welcome!" He'er smiled gratefully and did not answer, but looked at Qin Huaidao.
Qin Huaidao nodded and signaled to his men that they were all brothers who had lived together through life and death, so there was no need to be polite. He picked up a jar of ice-cold beer and put it in the room. Yiai smiled and said, "It's fine if you come. Don't be polite in the future. Can one of you leave?"
"Just in time to relieve the heat." Fang Yiai picked up the wine and drank heavily. The cold beer went into his throat. He felt comfortable all over, and the feeling of heat disappeared. He shouted happily and started chatting casually.
Not long after, He'er and Li Xueyan were full and saw that Fang Yiai had something to say, so they left hand in hand. Qin Huaidao took some meat with serving chopsticks and put it in Fang Yiai's bowl, and said softly: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
?”
"I really can't hide anything from you." Fang Yiai sighed, looked around, and said in a low voice: "The Holy Father just issued a decree, appointing Tang Xun as Yangzhou Road Shipbuilding Ambassador, responsible for supervising the construction of sea ships. The old man at home asked me
Come here and say something, and I asked you to help arrange for me to leave Chang'an for a while."
"Who is Tang Xun?" Qin Huaidao was a little curious.
"Hou Junji's son-in-law."
"Hou Junji?"
Qin Huaidao was stunned and suddenly realized Li Er's intention. He thought for a while and said: "We have sea ships, mainly concentrated in Dengzhou, Laizhou, Baekje, Fuyu and other coastal areas. They are mainly sand ships, lucky ships, etc.
Cantonese ships and other models are fine for transporting troops, but they are too far behind in a naval battle. They were only used to transport troops in the battle of Goguryeo."
Fang Yiai deeply agreed: "Yes, the sea is rough and rough. If you are not familiar with the past, you are seeking death. Our navy is mainly active on the big rivers, in Dengzhou and Laizhou. The navy only operates offshore and cannot go deep into the sea.
, On the other hand, the Japanese pirate ships are not big, but they are extremely flexible. More importantly, the pirates live in the sea for many years and endure the wind and waves. Our soldiers are not as good as the soldiers of our country. If we do not train our soldiers for naval warfare, it is useless to just build ships."
Qin Huaidao didn't think so. Li Er likes to hide his clumsiness. For example, he attacked Tubo and quietly trained 10,000 people. He built ships in the open. After all, shipbuilding involved too much and he couldn't hide it. He would definitely train the navy in secret.
This is a good thing and deserves recognition.
You can't do nothing yourself.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Huaidao suppressed the matter and said: "Since Shibo asked you to leave, he must have considered it. In this way, if you are interested, you can go to Tubo to do business. The conditions are the same as others."
"Thank you very much!" Fang Yiai gratefully picked up the wine jar.
The two met together, drank heavily, and were in a good mood.
After chatting about some business details, Fang Yiai left in a hurry. Qin Huaidao saw them off and left quietly in a tightly sealed carriage.
Not long after, Qin Huaidao came to the Duke's Mansion of E State, entered through the side door, and came to the backyard.
Yuchi Baolin was able to walk and was recovering well. After hearing the news, he rushed over and led Qin Huaidao into the study. He closed the door and did not allow anyone to disturb him. Then he asked his doubts: "Brother Qin, are you okay with coming here secretly?"
"What are your thoughts on revenge?" Qin Huaidao got straight to the point.
"You want to kill all the Japanese pirates, are you going to do it? Great, what should you do? I listen to you." Yuchi Baolin's eyes turned red instantly. He almost died from the injury. He held a breath in his heart. He had waited a long time.
Already.
"Japanese pirates hide in the depths of the sea and are difficult to find. We lack ships and have no soldiers for naval warfare. I came here this time to ask what you mean..."
Yuchi Baolin hurriedly interrupted: "No need to ask, just tell me what to do?"
"Don't worry, listen to me." Qin Huaidao comforted him, fearing that the other party would do something in a hurry, he whispered: "Yizhou, Haizhou and Chuzhou were looted by pirates. These three areas produce sea salt. Of course, the salt fields must also be destroyed now.
Destroy it, take enough silver to go to Haizhou to buy salt fields. The bigger the area, the better."
"Refining salt?" Yuchi Baolin was a little surprised. Didn't he say revenge?
Qin Huaidao saw the other party's thoughts and explained in a low voice: "Refining sea salt can be profitable and used for military training. There are islands to the east of Haizhou. You can find a way to win one and secretly train two thousand soldiers and horses on the island. You must be familiar with naval warfare.
, I will send a team to accompany you and teach you how to fight on foot, but for naval battles, you have to find other people, and when the time is right, you will kill the Japanese pirates and capture the Japanese country."
When Yuchi Baolin heard that he was going to take over the entire Japanese country, his blood boiled. Shouldn't a good man expand his territory and make contributions? Then he thought about it and asked, "Now that we have soldiers, what should we do with the ships?"
"I will solve the problem of ships. Believe me, it will take at least half a year, and it will take more than half a year to train the troops."
"I believe you, when will we set off?" Yuchi Baolin agreed.
"When you are better injured, go over in the name of a caravan and stay to make salt to cover up the military training. You must not expose it, otherwise you know the consequences. The sources of troops must be carefully selected. Orphans and refugees are the best. Japanese pirates will cause harm to one party.
There are many orphans and refugees.”
"I understand, don't worry."
Yuchi Baolin agreed wholeheartedly, with extremely fanatical eyes. He was not good at the naval battles of the Tang Dynasty. If he could train an elite soldier who was good at naval battles, he would become the first person in the naval battles of the Tang Dynasty. Thinking about such an honor makes him excited.
