Chapter 942: When I come back, thousands of sails will compete!
Su Dingfang Su Rong said: "Don't worry, Mr. Marquis, after you leave, the general will continue to patrol the coastal waters according to your instructions. Any smuggling merchant ships, no matter whose goods they belong to, will be seized without mercy!"
He has now been officially granted the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy of the Third Rank by the Emperor. He has been in the military for half his life and finally has the opportunity to show off his talents on his own. Therefore, he is extremely grateful to Fang Jun.
Cooperating with the Municipal Shipping Department to investigate maritime trade smuggling will be Su Dingfang's most important task in the future.
Only by severely cracking down on smuggling can the position of the Shipping Department be stabilized and gradually grow.
Pei Xingjian also expressed his position: "The lower officials will also be able to supervise the Shibo Division and Huating Town, so the Marquis does not need to worry."
These two people can be regarded as the two leaders of cultural relics under Fang Jun. They are devoted to Fang Jun and are willing to follow him.
Fang Jun relaxed his depressed mood and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, at the latest when His Majesty vows to march eastwards, I will definitely return to the position of chief executive! How can we not create the situation that we have worked so hard to create?"
Let Zhang Liang and others pick the peaches?"
Speaking of this, Liu Renyuan laughed and said: "Zhang Liang has been having a hard time recently. The imperial court sent a marching commander, Shi, to oppose Zhang Liang all day long. Now Zhang Daguo can be regarded as suffering from internal and external troubles, and he is suffering repeatedly.
Wa hahaha!"
Everyone gloated about the misfortune.
Fang Junqi asked: "Where did the deputy general manager come from? Who is he?"
Pei Xingjian smiled and said: "Feng Deyi's son, Feng Yandao."
Fang Jun was stunned.
The Feng family is a serious official family, and all their ancestors are in high positions. Feng Yandao said that this man is not very old, but he has never had contact with Fang Jun. According to seniority, this man is married to the daughter of the great ancestor Li Yuan.
He is considered Fang Jun's elder.
However, the relationship between the royal family is too chaotic, and it is impossible to understand the seniority thing...
However, Fang Jun was also a little curious: "I have heard of this letter. It is said that this man is a handsome gentleman, full of knowledge and gentle as jade. How come he is at odds with his superiors as soon as he takes office?"
Zhang Liang could not escape the secret support of Changsun Wuji and other aristocratic family members. The Feng family was a noble family, and his relationship with the aristocratic family members was even more complicated. Without the support of the aristocratic family members, he would not have come to Jiangnan to take up his post.
Normally, these two should be comrades in the same trench, but why are they actually competing against each other?
Pei Xingjian asked curiously: "Does the Marquis not know the reason?"
Fang Jun said in astonishment: "Should I know?"
Pei Xingjian laughed loudly: "Speaking of which, it does have a lot to do with the Marquis. The eldest princess of Huainan is gentle and virtuous. Zhang Liang once proposed marriage to His Majesty for his son Zhang Shenwei. At that time, Your Majesty was still considering it, and it was revealed that the Marquis was making trouble for General Zhang.
Zhang Shenji lost his arm due to the scandal, and Zhang Liang's reputation plummeted. Zhang Shenji was also afraid that his brother's reputation would rise after marrying a royal princess, which would cut off his ability to embezzle family property, so he slandered the eldest princess of Huainan several times, Your Majesty.
Annoyed by Zhang Liang's lax family tradition, he refused the marriage and instead married the eldest princess of Huainan to Feng Yandao. How can Feng Yandao have a good face in the face of the Zhang family who has slandered his wife several times?"
Fang Jun smiled, but he didn't know there was such a reason.
Everyone joked for a while, and Fang Jun said with emotion: "We have worked hard to create such a good situation now, and we must do our best to maintain it. Whether it is the Shipping Company or the Yantian, even if both are irreversible, we must do our best to ensure the operation of the manufacturing bureau.
For research and development, you need money to give money, and people to give to people, and no one is allowed to lift a finger! In addition, Liu Rengui should be more supported in the construction in Da Nang. In the near future, from Datang to Da Nang, and from Da Nang to
Arabia will be a golden waterway, and the wealth it brings will fill the Tang treasury and enhance the power of the entire empire!"
For Fang Jun, the manufacturing bureau is the best platform to show his golden finger as a time traveler. Only by ensuring the continuous research and development of the manufacturing bureau can the era of hot weapons appear early and Datang become one of the best in the world.
Qi Juechen maintained absolute suppression for a long time!
Needless to say, Da Nang is actually the property of the Royal Navy, so how could you not be interested in it?
Everyone solemnly accepted the order.
They have all seen the power of artillery and know that this mysterious manufacturing bureau is the culmination of all Fang Jun's hard work. Therefore, they all understand the importance of the manufacturing bureau and no one dares to be careless.
After some friendship, Fang Jun smiled and said: "Tomorrow morning, I will set off back to Chang'an, and Huating Town will be entrusted to you. Remember, as long as Huating Town is prosperous, your future will be bright. Those aristocratic families are greedy.
Everyone is ready to get a share of the industry we have created, so let me return to Chang'an to fight with them, and let them see the fighting power of the best stick in the world!"
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
Speaking of which, Fang Jun returned to Chang'an this time. It was true that he was forced by the family members to swallow his anger, but in fact, Fang Jun had some little intention of creating conflicts and diverting attention...
Everyone thought of Fang Jun's illustrious achievements in Guanzhong in the past, and couldn't help but mourn for those noble families.
*****
Tongguan guard Cheng Mingzhen sat listlessly in the duty room beside the pier, wrapped himself in clothes and took a sip of hot rice wine to feel slightly warmer.
It's cold in Guanzhong. It would be okay if it were winter. After all, you are used to the biting cold every day. This kind of sudden cold weather at the beginning of winter is the most unbearable. I looked up outside the window at the merchant ships waiting to pass the lock on the river. Cheng Mingzhen said
He sighed sadly, and his mind involuntarily drifted to the far south...
Cheng Dawei has had enough of these boring days day after day. He originally thought he could go to Jiangnan to create a new situation and live a wonderful life, but his father sternly told him not to go to Jiangnan to seek refuge with Fang Jun.
He didn't dare not listen to his father's words, but every time Cheng Mingzhen heard news from the south, he couldn't help but frown and sigh.
The battle at Niuzhuji, going to sea to suppress bandits, traveling across the ocean to annihilate the real wax elephant soldiers...
Each of these things is not shocking the world and shaking the government and the public.
Obviously he should have a share in this, but now he has to guard this broken barrier day after day. How can Cheng Mingzhen not become more and more depressed?
Just when I was feeling depressed, there was a sudden commotion on the river outside.
A fleet of hundreds of warships came upstream from the lower reaches of the river in a neat formation. Regardless of the shouts and curses from the merchant ships waiting to pass through the lock, they sailed straight into the front of the lock. The white sails of the ships instantly filled the entire river.
, it feels like the masts and sails are like a wall blocking out the sky and the sun.
The entire river suddenly became a mess.
Cheng Mingzhen was furious. He stood up wrapped in his shirt, kicked open the door of the check-in room and walked out. He pointed at the river and shouted: "Whose fleet dares to disturb the order of the checkpoint? I really don't think Cheng will dare to wait for you."
Kick them all into the river?"
Before he finished speaking, a loud voice came from a tightly packed warship in the fleet: "We haven't seen General Cheng for a long time. Not only has his fiery temper not diminished at all, but he has become more majestic with a whip and a galloping horse!"
"
Cheng Minzhen took a closer look, but it turned out to be a young nobleman with a dark complexion wearing a brocade robe. He immediately said with great joy: "Hahaha, I wonder who is so evil. It turns out that it is the Marquis of Huating who is in front of you. Old Cheng, I want to see the Marquis."
It’s been a long time!”
Who could have pushed all the merchant ships aside in such an arrogant and domineering manner but Fang Jun?
Cheng Mingzhen secretly sighed, a man should act like this, do whatever he wants, pretend to be gentle, courteous and frugal, so that he is not looking for trouble for himself? This is my idol, Cheng Mingzhen...
Fang Jun laughed on the boat and said: "General Cheng is still enjoying himself here. Could it be that he has forgotten our original agreement?"
He was very optimistic about Cheng Mingzhen's prowess, and he had once dreamed of gathering the "Seven Famous Generals" to summon the Dragon Ball. Unexpectedly, Cheng Mingzhen gave up on him and never went to Huating Town to meet him, which made Fang Jun very regretful.
Cheng Mingzhen smiled bitterly and said: "Master Hou, do you think that the general will not want to do that? The general will dream of following the master in leaping on his horse and whipping his whip, galloping across the country and becoming the might of the Tang Dynasty! It's a pity that things backfired. The twists and turns in this process will be discussed again in my spare time."
Lord Marquis, let’s talk about it. In short, it’s just because I don’t want to..."
Fang Jun nodded and said: "All good things are hard to come by. In the future, we will still have the opportunity to charge into the battle and create some fame. This time I return to Beijing and will definitely stay for a while. If General Cheng is free, you might as well come to see me.
Have a drink and get closer."
Cheng Mingzhen was overjoyed: "In this case, it is better to obey orders than to be respectful!"
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to form friendship with this popular figure of the day! As for what Dad said about Fang Jun's confrontation with the aristocratic family members, which would end sooner or later, Cheng Mingzhen had long forgotten it.
He only has one purpose in currying favor with Fang Jun, which is to take him into battle to kill the enemy and make him famous in foreign lands!
What is going on with a man who is wrapped in horse leather and keeps guarding a broken checkpoint all day long to exploit passing merchants?
After saying a few words, Cheng Minzhen loudly shouted to the soldiers guarding the gate: "Open the gate quickly and let the Marquis go first!"
As soon as they heard this, some of the merchants on the merchant ships were immediately dissatisfied. It was too arrogant to break the rules so blatantly. There must always be order when passing through the lock. If a noble person comes, he must go first. Aren't these merchant ships?
Can’t get through this river gate in one day?
Cheng Mingzhen laughed loudly, waved his hand, and said arrogantly: "This is someone's land, someone has the final say! Either wait aside obediently, or get out of here!"
Mother!
I am doing this for your own good, do you know?
I remember that when the Marquis came out of the Pass, the Dou family's boat was knocked over in front of him. Why the hell do you still dare to make such a fuss that you don't want to live anymore?
Fang Jun stood on the boat and gestured to Cheng Minzhen with a fist pump, and then directed the fleet to pass through the lock.
During the day, the mighty warships filled the entire river, and the majesty of the thousands of sails competing against each other made the merchant ships on both sides who were full of complaints not dare to let out a single fart.
Fang Jun stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the wide surface of the Wei River and the majestic Chang'an City in the distance, feeling sad in his heart.
When I left, there were hundreds of rivals quarreling over each other;
When I come back, thousands of sails will show off!
