This news can naturally not be hidden from Zhao Xiao.

Zhao Xiao was in a state of fire and thought that he had to find a way to solve the problem. Otherwise, all officials in Jinling would be so secretive about this matter, and would only be more and more evil and the more he spread, the less he would be. But before he could discuss it with his aides, the more urgent the Fujian side was in a hurry, and there were Japanese pirates causing trouble by the sea.

He did not control his temper and smashed the official letter on the desk on the spot.

Li Qian pacified the northwest and Jiang Lu went to war in Goryeo. He may not know the situation in Jinling. Good news came every now and then. Although those good news were not worth mentioning in his opinion, they were all trivial matters, but in Zhao Xi's opinion, they were all meritorious.

This is a means that powerful ministers used to use in front of the emperor.

Zhao Xiao didn't take it very much, but he had to admit that Jiang Lu could conquer Goryeo at the latest beginning of spring next year.

However, Jiang Lu's Goryeo King must have been ruined.

While Zhao Xiao sneered, he felt very upset.

Li Qian and Jiang Lu were both dominating the side, but his situation frequently occurred. The Japanese pirates were like leeks, cutting and growing immediately. I don’t know when it would be the end.

He summoned his staff who were usually responsible for military affairs and asked about the strategy of fighting the Japanese: "...We are so passive here now. We can only defend ourselves to the death and wait for the Japanese pirates to attack. We have to find a way to attack the Japanese pirates. You can go back to Fujian to discuss with the Second Master to see if there is any good solution. We must give me a clear answer before the ninth day of the ninth month."

There are too many scholars in Jiangnan, unlike in southern Fujian or the north, who like to write books and talk about anything. He is now called "injustice and even if he wants to ban books, he cannot do it. Moreover, in order to avoid suspicion, he is not convenient to interfere directly in some things. He also needs reputation and has to leave a name in history. This is also an important reason why he reuses the people of Jingyang Academy.

Some things are asked by the people of Jingyang Academy to do, and some of them are also asked to take responsibility.

But he did not realize that whether it was Jin Haitao who was arranged to manage military affairs or Gu Chao who was arranged to manage government affairs, he did not have a deep friendship before, and did not know much, so he was not easy to use.

Like Jin Haitao, who followed him to cover Zhao Xi, even pretended to be a deputy loyal minister.

Zhao Xiao couldn't help laughing when he thought about it.

If it weren't for the fact that Jin Haitao and Li Qian had a gap, Jin Haitao wouldn't have a good end after returning to the north. Moreover, Jin Haitao also understood this and repeatedly asked someone to connect with him to make connections, how could he choose Jin Haitao?

When Jin Haitao boarded his ship, he should have the awareness of becoming his butcher knife.

It’s a pity that he still has fantasies.

How could he use such a useless person?

Then there is Gu Chao.

He thought that Jingyang Academy was a place where scholars gathered. There were gentlemen and scum, and they must have strong integrity. They would cherish their reputation and focus on cultivation. They never thought that those people ran over like evil dogs when they saw high officials and generous salaries, and they seemed to bite whoever stopped me. This made people lose their appetite.

The officials sent to the north were postponed, and I don’t know if there would be any changes in the benefits of the hands. Faced with such a group of people, whether Gu Chao could continue to restrain them. Zhao Xiao was disdainful and wanted to see Gu Chao’s methods, and was also a little worried about major events that would implicate him.

If he does not resolve these two things as soon as possible, it will be impossible for him to grasp the situation in the court and truly control Zhao Xi.

He had to find a way to pacify southern Fujian and pacify the Japanese pirates so that he could have the energy and time to stay in Jinling with the emperor and the ministers to deal with him.

Otherwise, his previous efforts would be wasted or even turned into a joke.

Zhao Xiao even thought that if the situation became very unfavorable to him, would Li Qian take the opportunity to go south under the name of "clearing the king's side".

He asked his aide: "Is there any news from Tianjin Wei?"

Since he learned that Li Qian could build a ship in Tianjin Wei's dock, he sent a spy to inquire about the news about the dock.

Because Zhao Xiao would ask about this when he remembered it, his staff kept paying attention to the movements of the dock. Hearing Yanli said, "It was said that two more big ships went into the water two days ago."

So fast!

Zhao Xiao was stunned and said, "Didn't Guo Yonggu continue to order ships from them?"

Since Li Qian's younger brother Li Ju, Guo Yonggu's son-in-law, took charge of the Tianjin Wei dock, Li Qian sent a shipbuilding drawing to Guo Yonggu. Guo Yonggu was overjoyed and sent several ships of iron and stone to Li Qian and several skilled blacksmiths. Just two days ago, Guo Yonggu made a first small boat, and Li Qian also sent someone to congratulate him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiao couldn't help but raise the teacup in his hand and took a sip.

The staff member knew more or less about Zhao Xiao’s mood. He hesitated for a moment and said warmly: “Sichuan has no more ship orders from Tianjin Guard.”

But in Minnan, some poor fishermen quietly bought small fishing boats in Tianjin Wei. It is said that they could pay more than half of the money they bought the boat first, and the remaining money could be paid in batches.

Because they were all small boats fishing on the beach and were not large in scale, the Jinghai Marquis' Mansion knew that it was not taken seriously. However, this staff member felt that the people sent by Li Qian to southern Fujian were very powerful. In the long run, the Tianjin harbor would probably occupy a large part of the fishing village.

Zhao Xiao was unhappy, and this was not the best time to talk about this.

He should observe quietly first and tell Zhao Xiao if there is any progress.

The staff member made up his mind quietly and said, "Are you worried that there is the ability to go south there? Our people found out that after Li Dao went to the capital, he did not go to Tianjin Wei, but lived in the capital with his sons and daughters-in-law. It seems that Li Qian will not be able to use Li Dao for a while."

In other words, the navy has not been built yet.

Zhao Xiao nodded absent-mindedly and said, "Li Qian is very cunning and can tolerate it. Li Dao's affairs must be carefully checked. Maybe he used a trick to use a trick and everything was ready behind his back."

This is exactly the saying "The person who knows people best is not a friend but an enemy."

During the few months Li Qian was in Poyang Lake, he expanded the navy to 10,000, and Dao Li's eldest son was also left there.

Now he was worried that he would not leave the wind and bring these ten thousand people to Weihai and practice in the sea for a while.

Jiang Xian ignored him and Li Dongzhi and others were surviving the summer heat in Xiaotangshan. Every day, he watched Huai Ci and several brothers of the Zuo family practice calligraphy in the water chestnut. Shen Ge'er led Zhi Ge'er to run around the mountain.

Li Qian came to visit Jiang Xian halfway, and then he realized that Brother Shen was higher than his shoulders.

He was shocked and said to Jiang Xian: "How come this child grows so high? Will his body not keep up?"

When the child is taller, he looks particularly thin.

Jiang Xiangang was tossed by Li Qian. Amid the cicadas, he just wanted to sleep, and yawned, "He doesn't know how much he can eat! The eldest wife of the Dong family sent a few lambs. Brother Shen said that the children of the Zuo family came to the north for the first time and wanted to roast them. I asked someone to roast two lambs in one breath. Brother Shen and Brother Zhi ate at least one sheep. I was afraid that they would not be able to melt, so I kept Dr. Chang here for one night, but they had nothing to do. Brother Shen was still yelling that he was hungry in the middle of the night, and Miss Liu put down a big bowl of noodles for him to eat."
