Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Second Xu You One Word Wang Jue Bai Fan Accepts Apprentices
Bai Fanchao pointed on the map, "It's here!"
This is?
Li Yuan and Feng Ang looked at each other. It was a huge land that they didn't know, and it was far away from the Tang Dynasty. No wonder Bai Fan said he wanted to build a ship to get it.
"Okay, Mingyuan, go quickly to supervise the shipbuilding. 10% of the big ship. I have to take back an old bone in person." Li Yuan said passionately.
Feng Ang and Bai Fan hurriedly held back. Why is this old man so excited?
"The Supreme Emperor, judging from the vastness of the sea, it is probably not as simple as a few days of navigation. According to the current speed of the ship, it may take a year or two to arrive. It is very risky to sail on the sea. You are already over 60 years old and can't withstand the hard work of the journey.
Besides, Jian Zhi said that the place has not yet been said whether there is a country here. With such a large territory, there will inevitably be a strong country. We will go rashly, and it will definitely be dangerous. Let’s hear what Jian Zhi said first.”
Bai Fan nodded, thinking that Feng Ang was still a little calmer at this time, and he was not blinded by the huge benefits.
"Here, there are also here. These two continents are both homeless lands, and large areas of uninhabited areas. Even if there are people, they are still uncivilized savages in the mountains, so we don't have to worry about being attacked."
Seeing Li Yuan was about to speak, Bai Fan stopped him again and said, "I know what the old man means. Since it is a land without a border, we should occupy it as soon as possible. There is no hurry to see this. Within a hundred years, no one except the Tang Dynasty will touch this place.
All the land can be carefully calculated. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. The first priority of the rise of a great power is self-improvement!
When people are not full, what to talk about expansion?
Now we can’t even cross the ocean, so what if we look at the fairy grain in front of us? The first step is to see Gong Feng builds a ship, when will the ocean ship be built, and when will the sea go on a long journey.
The reason why this matter is secret is that it is because outsiders know that there are shocking treasures overseas. One is afraid that the enemy country will be able to take the lead, and the other is afraid that Your Majesty will be in trouble and fight.
That's why I wanted to entrust this matter to the Feng family. In front of this matter, only the Feng family can complete it except the Tang Dynasty.
The Feng family has been loyal and kind for generations, and giving this merit to them is also the sincerity of our Tang Dynasty. If this matter is returned to the destiny of heaven, it will be successful in three years.
Old man, then, will the Tang Dynasty dare to appoint the Feng family as the first king of different surnames?"
Bai Fan asked Li Yuan, and Li Yuan said loudly: "Such great merit, what is the king of a different surname? I went to Erlang in person to tell Erlang that the Xu Feng family is the king who is shoulder to shoulder!"
Feng Ang said gratefully to Li Yuan: "I am grateful to the Supreme Emperor and the Tang Dynasty for their trust. I understand Jian Zhi's meaning. The reason why I put this matter in the Feng Family Ancestral Hall is to remind my ancestors to be the legacy of the ancestors: China is orthodox!
Such a shocking thing is that Lingnan is located in a remote place, with soldiers and wealth, goods, and food, if it is established as a king, it will be the biggest enemy in the south of the Tang Dynasty.
Feng Ang, the minister, swore to the ancestral tablets. The Feng family has been loyal and kind for generations. The purpose of seeking immortal food from the ocean is to benefit the people. Not for the family’s personal fame. The Feng family knows how can it be compared to the merits of the past generations? Therefore, there is no need for the Tang Dynasty to stand shoulder to shoulder with the title of king. Thank you for your kindness, and please take back your life."
Bai Fan laughed and said, "Mr. Feng can see through this matter."
Li Yuan pondered for a moment and frowned and said, "Since I am not allowed to go with this old bone, then I want Yuan Ji to go on my behalf."
Bai Fan was speechless, why did he insist on getting involved? He stared at Li Yuan and asked, "Old man, the Li family is already the most prominent royal family in the Tang Dynasty. Why do you have to share this merit again? Will the contribution of expanding territory be impossible?"
"I am not confused yet. How can those who compare with the merits of living people with immortal grain? The dynasty has risen and fall. You said that you will let the Tang Dynasty last for thousands of years, but can you not talk about it and seek immortal grain? What's wrong with it as the amulet for the Li family to preserve incense?"
...
"You still have a long-term vision. According to your plan, will our Bai family also need to be involved? Everyone who knows it will go, and there will not be much contribution to the passing of the world."
"Then I don't care. As a royal family, the Tang Dynasty risked his life to send people to seek immortal food. If this matter is spread, it will definitely become a historical story. It is your business for how many people you think of."
...Bai Fan is speechless, is he so old and scoundrel?
"Okay, the original plan remains unchanged. The Feng family trained the navy to go out to sea, especially the expert in ship handling. Mr. Feng asked himself to supervise the manufacturing of sea ships. Before the large ship goes out to sea, the matter of seeking overseas fairy food is not announced.
At that time, 10% of the big ship will come in person to arrange the matters of going out to sea. King Qi will go with the Feng family fleet."
Feng Angle assured seriously: "Feng will handle this matter personally and will definitely be foolproof."
"In the year of shipbuilding, Lingnan can send small troops south to occupy some small desert islands or cities, and for future sea trips as a supply location, I will draw a detailed map for you. If you need any technical assistance, Mr. Feng can also inform me at any time. In short, if the ship is completed in a year, whether we can send a fleet to sea smoothly depends on Mr. Feng!"
Bai Fan saluted Feng Ang respectfully!
Twenty days later, Bai Fan was taking his family on vacation by the beach. He was told that the chief executive was invited. When he returned to the Lingnan City Lord's Mansion, Bai Fan realized that it was the one-month period, and the three tasks he sent out had already achieved results.
Seeing the three young masters, Bai Fan roughly knew the result in his heart.
"According to the tutor's regulations, I took one hundred brothers and traveled all over the coast of Lingnan in one month. Finally, I recruited 10,000 warriors from fishermen. The trip was successful. I came to pay the order with me!" Feng Zhiyan came out and said loudly.
"According to the drawings of the Mr.'s album, I have traveled all over Lingnan for a month and finally found out the distribution of more than 100 trees. All of them are recorded. Please read it by sir." Feng Zhiyu presented a thick booklet and said loudly.
After Bai Fan took it, he did not rush to look through it, but looked at the remaining second son of the Feng family, Feng Zhidae.
However, after a long silence, the young man could not go up to speak, with a look of shame on his face. Looking at Bai Fan looking at him with inquiring eyes, Feng Zhidai said with a tough forehead: "The Lingnan tribe forest is a chronic disease. He is stupid in his qualifications and has been thinking hard for a month but has not come up with a solution.
I met Mr. Lingnan at my father's home, and only then did I know that there are people outside of him. Zhi Dai was short-sighted. After admitting defeat in the previous bet, I felt that I was not qualified and could not give up for the disciples of Mr. Zhi Dai!”
After Feng Zhidi finished speaking, he was about to bow and leave, but Bai Fan smiled and said, "The winning or losing of the bet is not important. It is my real test to take the task and take it seriously. If you can solve everything perfectly? What else can you learn? What should you do to a teacher?
In the past, you were three playboys in Lingnan. A test was just to let you see your responsibilities clearly and focus on national affairs. Now that the purpose has been achieved, I will fulfill my agreement and promise that Mr. Feng will accept you as his disciples. I just don’t know if you three are willing or not?"
The three of them were not stupid people. They looked at each other in surprise, and immediately knelt down at Bai Fan and kowtowed to Master!
After Feng Ang heard about this, Lao Huai was very relieved and thought that Mr. Bai was really good at teaching and solemnly held a ceremony to apprenticeship according to ancient rituals.
In a blink of an eye, everyone has been in Lingnan for two months. It can be said that this is Bai Fan’s most casual and relaxing two months. He has sunbathed on the beach on the coast, and two beautiful wives are in his arms, enjoying the whole day.
In addition to one hour every day, he helped Feng Ang come up with ideas to manage the local area, he taught his apprentices and played with his wife and a few children.
After calculating the time, everyone has been out of Chang'an for three or four months. They went out in April, and now it is August. The matter has been arranged almost and they may have to go back.
Bai Fan was still thinking about when he would return, but he didn't know that a fast horse that was rushing to 800 miles was already on the way to summon him.
