Chapter 1066 Navy
Yunlin had to carefully tell Li Ju the difference between the navy and ordinary soldiers: "...If you want to walk on a storm on a storm, you can only practice on the ship, so except for the Marquis of Jinghai, there is no navy that can fight against the Japanese pirates. Originally, the prince had no intention of forming a navy. It was because we could build a ship, and the prince felt that Tianjin Wei was a good place." At this point, he showed a little hesitation in his expression.
Li Ju helped manage the family's affairs at a young age. Although it was not as hard as those who started from scratch, Li Changqing and the Li family were not as prominent as they are today. He was once miserable. He knew to look at people's faces and observe their faces. Moreover, Lin Yun had a special identity. He was a person who had never really been the commander of the First Army but could let Li Qian entrust all the trivial matters in the family. Such a person must be not simple. Li Ju felt that he had not experienced any big scenes except for the matter in Taiyuan. Now he was able to manage the Tianjin ward dock because he was Li Qian's younger brother. He should be humble and respectfully follow those experienced people to study hard, and be competent for Li Qian's entrusted quickly.
"Mr. Yun just keep in mind if you have anything to do." He hurriedly said, "You have been with my elder brother for so many years. You should know my elder brother's temperament. If he doesn't believe you, he will not ask me anything to ask you, nor will you tell me about this. I went to Tianjin Wei to represent my brother. I want to do things well, but I am not going to smash my brother's place."
Yunlin and Li Ju have no close relationships, but he admired Li Qian's way of employing people. Since Li Qian thinks that Li Ju can be competent for Tianjin Shipyard, Li Ju must have his own excellence. Moreover, Li Ju said something very right. Li Ju is going to support Li Qian, not to smash the situation. Some things he feels need to say should not be concealed. This is the greatest support for Li Ju.
He laughed and said, "Then I'm not polite!"
Li Ju hurriedly smiled respectfully and said, "Please speak with Master Yun!"
Yunlin said: "The shipbuilding drawings were given by the princess, but the shipbuilding matter was what Mr. Kang and Mr. Zheng meant. At the beginning, the prince did not take this matter seriously, but Mr. Kang and Mr. Zheng talked about the importance of the navy in front of the prince more than once. Then the prince became interested and kept several craftsmen from the Ministry of Works at that time. But he did not expect that the craftsmen could build the ship with two or three soldiers from the garrison. At that time, the prince wanted to give Mr. Zheng and Mr. Kang an explanation.
"I never thought that those craftsmen and the soldiers from the three garrisons really built the ship.
"The leader of this craftsman is a master named Shang. I will organize the lives of these craftsmen into a book and give them to the third master. He has always been in charge of the dock before. But since the beginning of this year, his health has been getting worse and worse. He wrote a secret letter to the prince and asked him to send someone to take over the dock. For this reason, the prince also made a special trip to me to send someone to investigate Master Shang. Later, he found out that Master Shang was not healthy, but probably because he was afraid that the birds would be gone and the good bow was hidden.
"The prince doesn't have this intention, but he can't resist the random thoughts of others. The prince was thinking about finding someone to take over the dock.
"The third master went over and found a way to win over this man surnamed Shang, not only would he win over him, but he would also win over all the craftsmen."
He was afraid that Li Ju would feel uncomfortable when he heard it. He never thought that Li Ju understood and didn't say it as soon as he heard it, but he thought about what to do: "Don't worry, I have experience in this kind of thing - when I took over the family's common affairs, many of my father's sworn brothers were still alive, most of them thought I was young and ignorant, and some were face-saving. I was like a grandson in front of them. But in a few years, I came forward on behalf of the Li family, and no one laughed at me.
"No matter what kind of temper Master Shang's temper is, I respectfully offer you, just be neither humble nor arrogant!"
Yunlin couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, feeling that Li Qian's previous worries were redundant. As long as Li Ju did things randomly, nothing big happened on the dock.
Now the headache is about recruiting troops.
It’s not that the Lintong Palace cannot recruit troops, but that there is less water in the entire north, and there are not many people who can get water. It is too difficult to form a naval army that can compete with the Jinghai Marquis Mansion.
Fortunately, they have encountered many difficulties over the years, but they have tried to overcome them one by one. This process of overcoming is also a very interesting and even a thing that will make people grow. Yunlin does not reject this difficulty.
What surprised everyone was Liu Dongyue who changed this situation.
He knew a businessman from Jiangxi. It is said that Jiujiang suffered from floods and many people were displaced. I heard that under the rule of Lintong King in the past few years, everyone could have a meal and kept fleeing to the north.
"If this is the case, why not recruit some soldiers from Jiangxi first." He told Jiang Xian about this matter, "Anyway, they are quite far from Jinling and Fujian. When they come to Tianjin Wei, they are from their hometowns. It should be okay to let them teach us people to swim?"
He was a little unsure whether his ideas would work.
However, Jiang Xian's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he called Liu Dongyue and took him to the small study in Li Qian's outer courtyard.
It happened that Li Qian was fine today and was talking to Cao Xuan about Prince Jian.
Prince Jian is now blindfolded by hatred and is desperately talking about the gossip between Zhao Xi and Zhao Xiao.
Cao Xuan said distressedly: "Even I don't know what to do now? Prince Jian didn't say anything in the capital, but spent a lot of effort and money to hire a master from Yangzhou to talk about Pingtan. Now Zhao Xiao has not discovered it. If Zhao Xiao finds it, he will definitely kill a warning to him. Isn't this harmful?
Li Qian felt it was indifferent and said, "I didn't wrongly accuse Zhao Xi! This matter is beneficial to us. I will calculate my life. Zhao Xiao should have finished his filial piety soon?"
"There are more than ten days left." Cao Xuan said, "For more than half a year, he helped the emperor call for power. Even if Lord Zuo came to the north before, he was also lobbying for Zhao Xi. I said that this time, Wang Jidao's position as the elder of the Pavilion will not be able to be saved."
Li Qian remembered Zuo Quan.
This brother-in-law has not changed much in so many years. As a brother-in-law who never causes trouble, he is quite satisfied. Unfortunately, Zuo Yiming left in a hurry. Zuo Quan went to Taiyuan to invite an angel to Li Changqing and Mrs. He and followed Zuo Yiming back to Jiangnan.
Zuo Yiming's move was to get the support of the Li family. After discussing with Jiang Xian, he gave Zuo Yiming a clear reply. He also asked Zuo Yiming to make it clear to Zhao Xi after he returned that the Lintong Prince's Mansion must support Zhao Xi in power, but Wang Jidao could not be the chief minister. Back then, Wang Jidao proposed to let Jiang Xian leave Beijing, and Li Qian must explain this matter.
Two days ago, they received a letter from Zuo Yiming, saying that Zhao Xi had already persuaded Zhao Xiao. After Zhao Xiao's filial piety period expired, Zhao Xiao proposed to let Zhao Xi take charge of the power. After that, Zuo Yiming, Li Yao and others would agree that even if Wang Jidao had Su Peiwen advance and retreat together, he would have no way to turn the tide.
"Let's talk about Zhao Xiao's filial piety. Everyone will pay attention to Zhao Xiao these days. We are waiting for an opportunity to act!"
