There are things that a real man does and things he doesn't do. After they get married, the brothers will return to Chang'an, and then they will sum it up. Where can they go to do chivalry?
But I feel a sense of accomplishment when I think about the great things that I and my brothers have done for the country and the people.
Allowing himself to hold a sword again and be as dissolute as in the past, Li Dejiang always felt that something was missing.
Could it be that it’s because you’ve reached the top and feel that petty fuss is no longer interesting?
Perhaps, only by venturing out of the Tang Dynasty and seeing the outside world like our brothers can we arouse our lofty ambitions and adventurous spirit.
Well...that must be the case.
"Second Young Master, what else do you have to explain?" Li Dabao couldn't help but be a little confused when he saw Second Young Master pinching his face without saying a word.
"Oh, Uncle Dabao, it's okay. When you get there, you should always write back.
By the way, remember to apply mosquito repellent when you get to the south, those mosquitoes are very poisonous..."
Li Dabao saluted the Second Young Master gratefully. "Second Young Master, don't worry, I will definitely reach Jiaozhou safely."
"Governor Gu has been friends with me for many years, and he is also a person who remembers feelings. Our business in the Han and Tang Dynasties can be dealt with even without the master's letter."
"He should also take more care..."
Not far away, Governor Gu's son, Gu Ming, was mumbling instructions to his old steward.
The commotion lasted for half an hour before all the people and cargo boarded the ship.
The dark-faced and curly-haired Ethan could only bid farewell to the prosperous city of Chang'an with tears at this moment.
He will go to Jiaozhou, which is as hot and humid as his hometown, where he will exert his light and heat for the spice cultivation industry of the Tang Dynasty.
Well, it's a bit dark, just like coal, it can also warm people. I hope this Ethan can take root in Jiaozhou and work hard.
These days, Cheng Chubi asked Ethan in detail and repeatedly about almost every detail of pepper cultivation.
Even what kind of diseases pepper can cause, how to prevent and treat them, etc. have been recorded.
This was naturally just in case, and Cheng Chubi not only kept records of these compiled and recorded things in his house.
Yesterday, I also made a copy for Cheng An, so that if anything goes wrong with Ethan, this thing can be used as a backup.
As early as when Cheng Chubi co-founded the Han-Tang Trading Company, he had already made it very clear to all the brothers that this lady was in business, not in quarreling.
There can only be one person in charge, otherwise, there will be a lot of managers, all of whom want to show off their patience and even engage in ridiculous cooperative operations.
What's more, although the old Cheng family has a bad reputation both in and out of government, the old Cheng family's reputation is also quite good.
This point has also been unanimously recognized by everyone. After all, everyone is from the army, and we also know that as a group, we can't do without a leader.
Everyone wants to show off their talents, and those are the jianghu who like to show their personal heroism.
Even Li Dejiang, who was deeply offended at the scene, cast a dark-faced vote in favor of Cheng Chubi's idea.
Finally, these ships loaded with cargo slowly sailed away from the pier outside Chang'an City, raised their sails, and sailed away into the distance seemingly slowly but really quickly.
Cheng Chubi and others just stood on the pier, watching the ship full of cargo move away.
In Cheng Chubi's view, this fleet was just a small first step taken by the Tang Dynasty and Han Dynasty merchant houses.
#####
Cheng An stood at the stern of the ship until he could no longer see the pier, then turned around and left.
Then we squatted down together with the stewards from various houses, chatting and laughing.
Most of them are old acquaintances, and since they all have a common goal, it is even more important to unite sincerely.
The pressure on Cheng An's shoulders is much greater than that of the stewards of various houses.
He needed to build a plantation from scratch after arriving in Jiaozhou.
We must also obey the master's orders and purchase a large amount of fertile land in an effort to take root in Jiaozhou.
In addition, he also has the mission of the Third Young Master, to go to the Southeast Asian countries to conduct maritime trade.
Although the time is tight and the task is heavy, everyone is very confident.
After all, over the years of the Tang Dynasty, it was rare for nearly a dozen or so military officials to jointly organize a major event.
If such a powerful force couldn't even handle this matter properly, it would really be a disgrace to grandma's house.
As for the stewards and guards of Prince Wu's Mansion, they are still kept in the dark.
After all, His Royal Highness King Wu is His Majesty's biological son. If the news leaks out, Your Majesty will definitely know that it will easily prevent them from accomplishing great things.
However, when they arrived in Jiaozhou and began to show off their talents, and when His Highness King Wu received the news, they would not be able to get to the spring of next year.
By that time, each government should have done almost everything it needs to do.
Shopkeeper Mo was not excluded from the insider list, but he only found out after arriving on the ship.
Why would these prominent and powerful families of the Tang Dynasty send such a large number of guards and young men to accompany them south?
After all, he is from Lingnan and is very familiar with the Jiaozhou area. There are many industries in the coastal states and counties of Lingnan.
As early as when Governor Gu Da announced that he would launch a large-scale reclamation project, Mo's Trading Company had already mobilized.
For him, it would be a great thing for these prominent and powerful families of the Tang Dynasty to come to Jiaozhou for development.
The various industries of my own family can provide various material support to this Jiaozhou dignitary development team.
Even if he makes small profits but quick sales, he will still make money. What's more, he can also have good relations with various houses of these Han and Tang Dynasty trading houses. No matter how he calculates it, he will make a lot of money.
#####
The departure of the Jiaozhou Reclamation Team Alliance of the Han and Tang dynasties did not attract much attention.
After Cheng Chubi said goodbye to the team, he quickly turned his attention to the other side.
Deep inside Cheng's University, there used to be an open space, but now Cheng Chubi has had someone build a tall thatched shed.
Inside the straw shed, a large number of stone parts have been transported.
Cheng Chubi stood right now, hands on hips, giving orders.
As for Li Ke, Li Dejiao, and Fang Jun...these three guys are like three followers, giving the old Cheng family's good-looking Cheng Chubi a headache.
Originally, Li Ke, Fang Jun, and himself formed a deck of bamboo cards.
But now that there is Li Dejia, who likes to brag and slap, but is very lucky, Cheng Chubi's winning rate in bamboo cards has dropped to second place.
This really made Cheng Sanlang feel bad. That bastard had no good poker skills at all, but he was surprisingly lucky.
It really makes people speechless. What makes people even more helpless is that this guy stays in Chang'an and is not willing to join the job.
But he didn't want to stay in the mansion all day. Hearing that Cheng Chubi's place was lively, he simply came over to join in.
However, General Li didn't object, so what else could Cheng Chubi say? You can't just go to the military god uncle and accuse your son of being too annoying, right?
