It has been five or six years since he came to this era. Wang Junlin knew very well the virtues of the nobles, so he guessed that the old guy Pei Shiju had the intention of forming an alliance with him without the intelligence sent by Shen Guang and Xu Jingzong.
Wang Junlin's deeds have already proved that, including the emperor, as long as anyone or any force in the world can get help from Wang Junlin, half of the success is achieved.
People in the world had previously felt that Wang Junlin was a loner. Even though Wang Junlin single-handedly established the Lanyi Guards House, these people only thought that Wang Junlin was a sword in the emperor's hand. But when Wang Junlin left the Lanyi Guards House, After he came down from the position of commander, came to Fanyang County, and relied on his own strength to defeat and even severely injure the Fanyang Lu family, all the nobles in the world realized that the power in Wang Junlin's hands had probably become a behemoth, although they were not aware of it. It was unclear what kind of power Wang Junlin had in his hands, but this did not prevent them from guessing.
Yuwenshu was the right servant of Shangshu, the head of the hundred officials, and the general of the right guard, in charge of the military affairs of the Sui Dynasty. Many officials in the court turned to Yuwenshu. But the power in Pei Shiju's hands was not trivial, and there was news about Pei Shiju behind his back. The surname was Wen Xigong himself. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and was in charge of the evaluation and deployment of officials all over the world. His official rank was only one level lower than that of Yu Wenshu. Both of them were members of the cabinet established by Yang Guang. The only difference was that they were not among the emperor's Yu Wenshu was just favored. In recent years, the conflicts between the two have gradually deepened due to power struggles and conflicts of interest.
Pei Shiju could not but say that he was at an absolute disadvantage. How to regain some initiative, what to do in this article, one of the good strategies is to form an alliance with others, and Wang, who obviously had a problem with Yu Wenshu, but had an irreconcilable relationship with his grandson Pei Yuanqing Junlin is naturally the first choice. Forming an alliance with Wang Junlin is equivalent to having a strong foreign aid in the local area. Therefore, Pei Yanmao still has many things to discuss with Wang Junlin.
In fact, this is one of the reasons why Wang Junlin is so strong towards Zhao Chen, because this in itself is also a move to flex his muscles by Wenxi Pei, the representative of Yanmao.
It would take two or three days for the Navy of Fanyang County to prepare the ship for the Silla Kingdom. During this period, Pei Yanmao and Wang Junlin had three secret talks, which could be regarded as preliminary reaching some consensus. Of course, at this time, there were no signs of the fall of the Sui Dynasty.
, the so-called alliance is nothing more than watching and helping each other.
…
…
The spring moon was cool, and after Wang Junlin saw off Pei Yanmao and his party at the port of Rongcheng County, he took a boat directly to the salt field.
He made a temporary decision and did not notify Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Xu Xiaohu, Lian Zhongtao, Qian Zhengkuo, etc. before coming. All five of them have been very busy recently.
Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong were responsible for training the troops. Wang Junlin gave them a time limit of three months. After three months, Wang Junlin would take the three thousand salt soldiers to participate in actual combat to test the training effect.
Lian Zhongtao and the five selected master craftsmen enthusiastically implemented the new method of cooking salt taught by Nie Xiaoyu. The results have been very obvious. Not only has the daily salt output increased by more than five times, but the manpower used has also increased. Less than one-fifth of the original value, and the cooked salt is purer.
Most of the freed-up salt slaves and salt workers were led by Qian Zhengkuo to cultivate fertile land. The area of the salt farm was as large as a county. It was actually the ninth county of Fanyang County, with a large amount of wasteland. According to Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu's previous plan was to cultivate at least 200,000 acres of fertile land within a year.
In addition, Xu Xiaohu took a group of craftsmen trained by Nie Xiaoyu personally to build a shipyard in a secret place in the bay of the salt field. This matter has been going on since last year when Wang Junlin took control of the salt field. It has already started. It has been four or five months now. The shipyard has been built. Sea-going ships with a weight of less than 1,000 stones have been manufactured. The sea trials have been successful. Yesterday, ten warships with a weight of 1,000 stones were secretly sent to Snake Island. above.
Each of the five people was in charge of a side, which was not close to the Yanzhen Post House. Before these people arrived, Wang Junlin flipped through the copy that Shen Guoer had just sent that collected news from various places.
The power of the Eastern Turks continued to expand, and several large northern nomadic tribes were annexed by the Turks.
A riot broke out among the people building the Grand Canal in Huainan. The local county soldiers put down the rebellion within three days and killed more than 20,000 of the rioters.
Although the civil unrest in Huainan was settled, the spring floods in the south of the Yangtze River caused disasters, the refugees were crowded, and the government mishandled the situation, resulting in chaos. Many bandits occupied the mountains and became kings, and they became powerful. Internal troubles in the Sui Dynasty finally began to appear.
appear.
Looking through the Tongzhi from various places, except for the official articles praising virtues, he could hardly find any comforting news. Wang Junlin pushed the large stack of Tongzhi to the corner of the table in disgust, thinking that he was out of sight and out of mind.
After leaving the county town this time, Chen Danying was bored and followed him. At this time, he walked in. Seeing Wang Junlin's sneer and frowning face, he said, "I just heard that the girl from Guo'er said that you read these information ponds. You will definitely be upset if you copy it, as expected!"
"Actually, you don't need to look, I know what is happening in various places in the Sui Dynasty now." Wang Junlin took Chen Danying's smooth and gentle hands and asked her to sit on him.
Wang Junlin gently pinched Chen Danying's cheek with his fingers. The skin was very smooth and extremely delicate, with a faint fragrance reaching his nose. His slightly charming eyes were like a clear spring under the moon, attractive and able to make people laugh. Take a break from annoying chores.
"What do you want to do? Guoer is still outside. You will summon everyone in the salt field to discuss the matter later!" Chen Danying struggled with shame, her limp body seemed to be rubbing against Wang Junlin's arms, trying to stop Wang Junlin. Jun Lin put his hand into his clothes.
Chen Danying struggled to sit up, pushed Wang Junlin down on the soft couch, and coquettishly said with shame and annoyance: "Don't make trouble, I'll spend time with you in the evening."
At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard again in the yard, and Zhang Tiangang's voice came in: "Sir, Xu Xiaohu and the others are back."
Wang Junlin said: "Let them come in!"
Chen Danying glared at Wang Junlin and left through the side door.
Xu Xiaohu, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Qian Zhengkuo, and Lian Zhongtao filed in and respectfully saluted Wang Junlin. Wang Junlin asked the five people to report on the things they were responsible for in turn. Wang Junlin had been paying attention to it before. All aspects of the salt farm were progressing, but some things were not very detailed. Only after listening to reports from five people did I have a detailed and comprehensive understanding.
Wang Junlin nodded and said: "Yes, the five of you have worked hard, but this is just the beginning. You can't slack off, especially the military training and shipyard matters. We must seize the time and strictly follow the previous plan and implement it step by step. If there are any problems, please report them in time.”
