Chapter 453 Proper arrangements
“Go to sea?”
Liu Zhiqing looked at Zhao Yuan in surprise and asked, "Are you really planning to go out to sea?"
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "I think about it. If we want to leave, the best way is to go to sea. Moreover, Suzhou is not far from the sea estuary. As long as we manage it skillfully, we should be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the court."
Liu Zhiqing wondered, "But after leaving the sea, where are we going? You can't wander around the sea aimlessly. If conditions permit, we can actually send people to operate in advance, and when the time is right, we won't run around aimlessly."
Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said, "The best place now is Nanyang!"
Liu Zhiqing asked in confusion: "Nanyang? Where is that place?"
Zhao Yuan said: "In the southeast of the sea, the three treasure eunuchs discharged by Emperor Yongle should have arrived here. They had a lot of trade with the court before. Unfortunately, the sea was banned and their exchanges were completely interrupted. I guess no one in the court knew where the Nanyang was."
Liu Zhiqing said: "What this means means is that we must build large sea-returning ships, but now the imperial court prohibits the sea, so we dare not build ships at all. If it were an ordinary small boat, it would be impossible to sail in the sea."
Zhao Yuan nodded and looked at the boats on the lake. The inland ships were generally very low. It was okay to navigate the inland lakes and rivers, but it was not enough to see in the sea. A big wave could overturn the boat. On the other hand, there was no shore or dock in the vast sea that could be docked at any time. Once a storm came, if the ship was not strong and reliable, then there was only one ending, that was, the ship was destroyed and the people were killed. In the vast sea, once the ship was destroyed, the only thing waiting for was death. In addition, the ship was large enough to be able to be self-sufficiency at sea. You must know that fresh water, vegetables, fruits, etc. need to be carried at any time. If there was not enough fresh water at the sea, it was also a dead end. Especially now, there was no seawater desalination device in the future. The seawater was high in salt, so you could only get thirsty as you drank. In the end, you were full and dehydrated and died.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "In this way, we can only do everything in secret. If it really doesn't work, we will find a small island to build a base in the sea, so that we can avoid the eyes and ears of the court.
Liu Zhiqing said: "Don't forget the court's eyes and ears, Wugang is also the court's eyes and ears and ears and ears!"
If this matter is to be carried out secretly, no one who is related to the court can be involved. Otherwise, no one can escape once the news is leaked.
Zhao Yuan also understood what Liu Zhiqing meant and said, "That's true, but who is the most suitable one to send?"
Speaking of this, the two of them were in trouble at the same time, and then they realized that there was nothing to find for a moment.
The lake wind blew, but it couldn't let go of the sorrow of the two of them.
After a while, Zhao Yuan said: "If it really doesn't work, let Liu Jie go, but it's too early to let him go directly. You have to send someone to find the place first and then make a secret plan!"
Liu Zhiqing said: "I will arrange this matter. Now there are no disciples of the Liu family on the coast. Then people can just ask Zhiqing to send someone to go there."
Zhao Yuan thought about it and found that Liu Zhiqing was the most suitable person to send people on the coast. Moreover, among those people, they were either disciples of the Liu family or disciples of the Tang sect, and they would not have Jinyiwei, which was relatively safe.
After the decision, Zhao Yuan and Liu Zhiqing made a careful plan. The so-called "soldiers and horses should be moved before they move their food and grass. Since people have been sent, they will have to build ships in secret. Shipbuilding is not an ordinary thing. Ordinary craftsmen do not need to complete it. They must have professional craftsmen. However, now that the sea is forbidden, many shipbuilding craftsmanship have long disappeared. It is estimated that the drawings of the treasure ships used by Zheng He when he went to sea are only in the secret library of the court, and it is difficult to find them. In addition, the lack of craftsmen is also a very critical issue, and if a large number of craftsmen are mobilized, it will only attract the attention of the court.
The problem facing the two is actually very practical and cannot be solved simply.
Now the Iron Blood Sect seems to be gradually becoming larger in the world, but in fact everything is under the surveillance of the Jinyiwei. This Iron Blood Sect is just a nail that the Jinyiwei has penetrated into the world.
Zhao Yuan is never blindly confident about himself, but is very cautious. After all, only by being more cautious can he ensure that everything is foolproof.
Fortunately, I have enough time for both of them. Lu Bing's body looks like he can live for five, six, seven or eight years, and he can still find a boatman and other ships.
"If it really doesn't work, train it!"
Zhao Yuan suddenly said this.
"Cultivate yourself?"
Liu Zhiqing was a little confused.
Zhao Yuan said: "Yes, training, we have plenty of time left for us now. This is very beneficial to us. Going to sea, boaters, sailors, etc. are the key. We are now looking for skilled boatmen everywhere. One or two may not attract the attention of the Jinyiwei, but a boat cannot be built by one or two people, so many people must be used. Therefore, I think we can target young people, such as young people in their teens, especially those homeless young people. More than 100 people are mobilized across the country, but no one will pay attention. We gathered more than 100 people and asked skilled boatmen to teach them. Then after waiting for a few years, they should be very familiar with how to build ships."
There are not many ship workers who are proficient in building ships now, and the Jinyiwei is also keeping a close eye on them. If these ship workers disappear, they will naturally attract the attention of the Jinyiwei. But what about young people who are already homeless? Such people are robbers, killed, and beggars. Who cares about these?
Liu Zhiqing's eyes lit up and she said, "My husband is a good idea. It may not be difficult to find these young people, but the key is where to find this skilled boatman?"
Zhao Yuan said: "I remembered that I came alone. Maybe he could have some solutions?"
Liu Zhiqing asked in confusion: "He?"
Zhao Yuan said: "Yes, this person is Xie Yunlou, just a sword inside."
Liu Zhiqing said: "Xie Yunlou? How could he have a boatman?"
Zhao Yuan said: "It should be talented. Last time I took the risk to blow up a small island of Japanese pirates, and the person who rescued me was nothing but Xie Yunlou. The ship he was riding was much larger than the Japanese pirates' ship, and the bow was heavy armor, which could easily smash the Japanese pirates' ship to pieces. His ship was stronger than the treasure ship Zheng He had voyage to the West and more suitable for navigation!"
Liu Zhiqing said: "After that being said, the key question is that Senior Xie Shenlong is not seeing his head and tail. How do you find him? Moreover, he is on the sea now, and he can't determine his whereabouts!"
If you lend someone from Xie Yunlou, you can be sure that he will lend it to him. However, the most critical question is how to find him to hit him. His boat is on the sea, looking for a boat in the vast sea. What is the difference between looking for a needle in a haystack?
Zhao Yuan said: "Don't be discouraged first and send someone to pay attention. This will not affect our early actions. After the lady returns, she will make arrangements for this."
Liu Zhiqing did not refuse, looked up at the sky and said, "It was dusk accidentally. You were not planning to dig up the evening banquet for Miss Wu and her parents. You should have arranged it at this time. Let's go back first. How could someone else be neglected on the first day?"
The two returned to the Iron Blood Sect together. Liu Zhiqing asked someone to call Liu Jie and talked about the evening banquet. Liu Jie said, "Madam, there is no need to arrange it anymore."
Liu Zhiqing said strangely: "No need to arrange it? What does this mean?"
Liu Jie said: "More than an hour ago, Miss Wu went to the kitchen in person and then started to prepare the evening dinner. As for our chefs, they are all helping her by now, and they can't interfere. In addition, she also asked the old man, the old lady, the eldest lady and the second lady in detail what taboos they have on eating, etc. Now, it's almost done. I originally planned to tell you two of you in the afternoon, but I forgot it when I was busy. Now, the lady remembered it."
Liu Zhiqing looked at Zhao Yuan and smiled and said, "This Miss Wu is really not at all. She can't wait to let us know that she has this skill."
Who is Liu Zhiqing? Her eyes are very vicious when she looks at people. Wu Jin was a guest just now, but she didn't treat herself as a guest at all. Instead, she started to get busy. The real purpose is actually obvious at first thought.
Zhao Yuan smiled awkwardly and said, "She...well, Miss Wu is good at cooking. When she was in the capital, she opened a small inn. Most people had to go for a meal, but they had to make reservations in advance. She felt that if she wanted to marry into this family, she had to contribute to the family. She was good at this, so she naturally played out at this point."
Liu Zhiqing said: "It is of course the best thing to treat herself as the hostess here without seeing each other. Moreover, if the family sits together for dinner, it doesn't seem to be apart. However, after all, she is your third wife, and cooking is only occasionally done. If it goes on for a long time, others will think we are harsh on her. If she feels that there is nothing to do here all day long, it's really boring, why not build a villa by her by the lake, just like she is in the capital. This will prove that her husband, concubine and sister do not treat her as an outsider! But one thing is that she cannot reveal her identity to avoid being used by others."
Zhao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Madam, I think this is appropriate?"
Liu Zhiqing said: "Of course it's appropriate. Husband, you don't understand the heart of women. In fact, Miss Wu may not feel anything in the capital now, but after arriving at the Tiexue Sect, she felt a little panicked. Like other women, she was worried that she would lose favor. Now I am taking care of Tiexue Sect. Not to mention anything else, at least it is orderly and develops well. My identity is also the eldest lady of the Liu family. The Liu family is one of the four great families in the martial arts world, with a great family. Sister Wushuang is great and good at kung fu. She is your right-hand assistant. Another point is that Sister Wushuang has another identity as a princess. In this way, Miss Wu, who was originally a scholarly family, may suddenly feel that she has a disadvantage in her identity or helping you. She is worried about losing favor in the future."
Zhao Yuan sighed helplessly and said, "Sometimes I really don't like women to be smart. There is nothing wrong with it, so I have to do something to clear it up."
Liu Zhiqing said: "Yes, so she must find something to do so as not to think about it all day long. Of course, opening a small restaurant cannot completely make her think that she can help you. Therefore, this restaurant must have another function, that is, collect information. In this way, she also feels that she can help you with everything, and at least she will be more psychologically balanced!"
Zhao Yuan nodded and agreed. He had always regarded the three of them as his wife in his heart. At least in his eyes, the three of them had the same status and no more important statement. But if he thought so, as his wife, the three of them might think so, just like Cang Wushuang. He had not been struggling with anyone who was bigger and smaller in this family before. Compared to Wu Jin, she had been in the world for a long time, but she still couldn't ask for the secular view of men and women. She was not good at that, and Wu Jing was even worse, not to mention that she was the third one when she got married. In her or Wu Shan's eyes, she was a concubine.
Liu Zhiqing stood up slowly and said to Liu Jie: "You can arrange this matter first. As for choosing a place next to the town, you must also be closer to my Iron Blood Gate. As for the layout of this yard, try to follow the appearance of the capital as much as possible."
Liu Jie agreed: "Okay, my subordinates will handle this matter immediately. Now, because we want to expand the sect, we have prepared enough materials and other materials, and we can mobilize some to use first!"
Liu Zhiqing said: "Also, you must remember that the materials must be the best of the materials we use. You can't use any materials. In addition, in addition, please ask Ms. Wu for more advice during the construction process. After all, she will stay there for a long time in the future, and the layout inside will be satisfied. In addition, select some smart and capable people to act as people in the future. Our name is to collect information. Of course, we can't just say it, but we have to really collect it."
Liu Zhiqing's meaning is also very obvious. Since Wu Jin was told that the purpose of building this small restaurant was to collect information, of course, we can't just say it but not practice it. If Wu Jin knew that all this was fake, she would not feel uncomfortable, so she would just collect information. In this way, not only comfort Wu Jin, but also achieve the goal, which can be considered a killing of two birds with one stone.
After saying that, Liu Zhiqing looked at Zhao Yuan and asked, "My husband, is this kind of arrangement appropriate?"
