Chapter 147: Lovesickness is satisfied at this moment

The ancients looked at the origin of the master, because the words "block" are not taught without oral teaching, and it is impossible for them to learn without a teacher. Therefore, every educated ancient man has his own master, which is the origin of knowledge.

The knowledge that Zhao Xing showed was obviously not what Su Dongpo was good at.

But Zhao Xing didn't want to answer this question, so his subordinates pinched Yi Yi heavily. Yi Yi immediately understood and immediately pretended to be innocent and asked how to decorate himself. Then, several doctors also took the time to report Zhang Yuan's condition to Zhao Xing - the latter was what Zhang Dun was most concerned about, and his attention immediately shifted.

"The yanei is nothing serious. You can get up after a few more days of rest," the doctor concluded.

"A few more days off..." Zhang Dun muttered to himself thoughtfully. Immediately, he looked up and asked Zhao Xing: "When will the people left to go to Mizhou to take office?"

Zhao Xing replied: "I have to wait until Brother Wen Gu recovers from his illness."

Zhang Dun shook his head: "It will take a month to walk on the road. No matter what, you have to take up your post before February 9 next year. It is best to hand over the news now - I heard that the troupe trainee Zhang Yong has a good relationship with you. When he appointed him, it was because of this that he pointed you at the county and Mizhou."

Zhang Dun's words implicitly mean that the official position that Zhao Xing appointed was specially arranged by someone, but it was not Zhang Dun who made the arrangement, otherwise he would confess his love directly.

What Zhang Dun said was to take office before February 9 because of a Song Dynasty official system. The Song Dynasty stipulated that except for the imperial examination year, the date of appointment and removal of local officials from February 9 to 11th in normal years is the date of appointment and removal of local officials, and is called "county summons". In the autumn, the appointment and removal of Beijing officials is called "sizhao".

In other words, if Zhao Xing still wants to become an official, he must hand Zhang Yong a message before the autumn, otherwise Zhang Yong will report on the official position during the official assessment. Then the court will appoint new officials on February 9th next year.

Zhao Xing frowned and replied: "After saying this, I have to contact Zhang Yong quickly. I don't know if Qiu Guan's assessment has ended. I have never contacted him when I go home."

Zhang Dun thought for a moment and suggested: "We need to send a quick horse to Mizhou, say hello to Zhang Yong first, and let him cover up in front of Shangguan. After receiving the reply, the person in Legion should set off quickly.

If the Qiuchao check is over, you need to find out who is coming... It will take some effort. However, it is not impossible to do anything. It is best for people to do something today."

Zhao Xing nodded and looked at the dock area below the slope and replied: "That's what it should be. Today they can at least unload one boat. At this moment, the northwest wind is strong. As long as you free up one boat, you can go to Mizhou tomorrow."

Zhang Dun was surprised. In fact, he had selfish intentions in his suggestion just now. He originally thought that even if he sent a fast horse to Mizhou, it would take about a month to go back and forth. During this period, his son could just rest. When Zhao Xing set off, he asked his son to go with Zhao Xing, which could reduce the bumps of the journey. But he did not expect that Zhao Xing would unload the boat so quickly.

"My son's illness..." Zhang Dun pondered.

Zhao Xing thought for a while and replied: "Yes, Brother Wen Gu still needs to recuperate for a while, and he needs to take a few more doses of the medicine. So, I asked my disciple to go to Mizhou with the official edict and told Zhang Yong that if it could not be covered up, I would let my disciple impersonate him."

Zhang Dun glanced at the other party. He was brave. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xing dared to do even the impostor. However, he thought that the other party was trying to take care of his son and stayed for a few more days. Zhang Dun had been thinking for a long time and pretended not to hear the other party's words. He pointed to the cherry blossoms all over the hillside and talked about the wind and flowers: "I heard that the cherry blossoms are blooming, but the youth is fleeting, and this flower can only bloom for a few days, is that?"

"Yes!" Zhao Xing was still thinking about the candidates for the attendant among the students, and answered absent-mindedly. Zhang Dun took a few steps, walked out of the room, stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back, and observed the cherry blossoms all over the yard with serene satisfaction.

Zhang Dun left abruptly and didn't even say hello. Zhao Xing realized that the other party did not want to participate in this matter.

In the Song Dynasty, impostors were very feasible, because there was no photography or fax technique in ancient times, and officials were given a letter of official title. In the novels of Ming and Qing dynasties, there were often stories of officials being killed by thieves and impersonating officials. It can be seen that this matter is feasible. Moreover, Zhang Yong, the only one who had seen Zhao Xing in Mizhou, was the only one who had seen Zhang Yong. As long as Zhang Yong didn't speak, this matter was not a big deal.

How big is Mizhou? How big is Militia militia armed?

Zhao Xing thought about the past and the future in his heart. He waved to the process and told him: "Go and invite Yuan Yeping."

A moment later, Yuan Yeping was invited into Zhao Xing's small building. After a while, Yuan Yeping hurried out, with an indescribable look...

When Zhao Xing appeared in front of Zhang Dun again, he looked relaxed. He pointed to the cherry blossoms all over the mountain and said, "Zhang Laozi, the flowers are blooming in the beautiful scenery. It is better for us to have a drink in the yard and have a drink to enjoy the flowers."

Zhang Dun pondered for a moment and immediately shook his head: "Forget it. You have to pack up and take care of the dock. Go and do your own thing. I just go and take a look."

Zhang Dun said this because he wanted to avoid suspicion. With him present, local officials did not dare to be invited to the banquet. Instead of drinking and having fun in a quiet scene, it would be better to enjoy this moment of tranquility alone.

Zhao Xing understood that he called Cheng Xia over and arranged several disciples to accompany Zhang Dun and went to the dock himself.

The wood on the dock has been unloaded, and the workers are reinstalling the mast for the paddle boat. The unloaded wood begins to be divided in the dock area, first sawed into wooden boards, and then transported one by one. At this time, several merchants who learned in advance bought the whole piece of wood in the dock area, and went home and slowly processed the wood according to their own wishes...

Although the exterior walls of Zhaoxing castle are winding, the roads in the fort are flat and straight. Since things are often unloaded on the dock, the road leading from the dock area to the warehouse in the fort is slightly sloped. The huge wood unloaded on the dock is carried by several carriages. With the help of the slightly inclined ramp, several workers are easily pushing the truck into the castle.

After the paddle boat was unloaded, the rest was to empty the dock area and unload other goods. Zhao Xing wandered around the dock for a while and saw the students organizing several teams of staff in an orderly manner and sorting out the dock area. Each student followed several "Yi Ci Leiye" people, holding a small notebook in their hands and recording the entire operation process. These natural accountants learned very quickly, and after a while they became familiar with the process, and asked and answered questions and answered Zhao Xing's students.

Zhao Xing sighed in his heart.

This group of students studied with him for several years, and only knew how to memorize the division of labor rules and operating procedures and follow the script, but did not know the organizational principles contained in it. When the Jews came up, the first thing they wanted to understand was the principle. Once the principles were understood, the others could be learned from one example.

This is a good thing. In the process of communicating with Jews, children grow up very quickly. Some children can explain why the design process is like this - they have begun to understand the principle.

Zhao Xing did not disturb the teaching of children on the dock, so he followed the pedals on the boat toward the sailing boat and knocked on the VIP room on the boat.

The VIP room was gently rippling with Arabic-style lewd music. Several Arab female slaves were dressed very little and were playing in the cabin. They were very light in their movements, as if they were afraid that the sound would be too loud and would wake up the sleeping baby.

However, there were no babies in the room, so I could only stand in front of the string window and observe Pu Yi'an on the opposite hillside with a telescope.

Zhao Xing walked into the cabin without hesitation. The soft Arabic carpet immediately sank his feet to his ankles. There was no sound when walking on this carpet. Zhao Xing walked to the desk and only made a sound until he picked up the glass wine bottle and poured himself wine. He asked while drinking, "What are you watching, so trance?"

Pu Yian did not put down his telescope and replied without looking back: "That old man on the hillside! I heard that he was the Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty. But he didn't look like him at all."

Zhao Xing leaned against the sofa bed in the cabin and raised his hand to order the female slaves: "Play a lighter one, I don't like such a lewd song, be more refreshing."

The music started to sound, and an Arab female slave stood up, spinning and dancing in the small open space in the cabin, and glaring at Zhao Xing from time to time. Pu Yian put down his telescope. After returning to his desk, he sat deeply in an office chair, looking at Zhao Xing through the huge desk: "Yes, this new ship has been inspected by navigation, which is much more than the old ones, and it is fast. I am very satisfied. We finally have our own ship shape. I guess in the future, we can firmly control that trade route, and your ideal will be realized."

Zhao Xing raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, waved his hand to let the group of Arab female slaves leave, and then gently put the wine glass back to his desk and said, "The old man you just saw advised me to go to Mizhou and serve as the judge of the regiment training. What do you think?"

Pu Yian filled Zhao Xing's wine glass and replied: "I also think you should go. The plate in Nanyang is too big and we can't eat it in one bite, but Gaomi and Japan - you have someone and have land. If you add an official identity, we can completely monopolize this route."

Zhao Xing nodded slowly and said, "Actually, when I first arrived in Goryeo, I had an idea. If you are interested, I can tell you - Danluo Island. Are you interested?"

Pu Yian quickly poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and then replied: "I know you, and whenever you say something lightly, it must be a big plan.

I've heard of Danluo Island, but you let me take a sip before you speak. If I'm too awake, I won't go crazy with you... Okay, I've had three drinks. You can say it now."

"How many people are there in the entire Danluo Island? It's just 20,000. But our Song Dynasty has 100 million. What do you think about this number?"

"But Danluo Island has poor products, and that small island can only support such a few people."

"I know. But I also know one thing. When the Maritime Warrior Division was established in Dengzhou, Dengzhou not only traded Goryeo, but also traded horses with the Jurchens. This time the imperial court moved the Maritime Warrior Division to Mizhou, but it was not known whether the horse trading was stopped.

This horse-trading route is one of the only horse-trading routes in the Song Dynasty. I think the imperial court cannot abandon it. And I happened to know that there is a grassland that is most suitable for horse-raising, which can be used as a famous horse cultivation base. How much does a war horse cost? This short-distance route can be taken one round trip a day, right? At the same time, I also know that Danluo Island is very close to Japan, Goryeo, and Dengzhou, with a suitable climate. As a cargo transit station, it is really ideal.

We have Qiongzhou in the south, but we lack a base in the north. And Qiongzhou is in the territory of the Song Dynasty, and once something happens, our family will not be able to be kept. Danluo Island is different. It is still an independent country now. The king is very weak, so he spends some money to buy a piece of land and then gradually erodes it - we have the identity of the Celestial Empire, and even if there are any changes in the future, the Goryeo and Danluo people dare not provoke us.

If I go to Mizhou, I will transport tens of thousands of people nearby and rely on my population advantage alone to take over Danluo Island..."

Pu Yian's eyes were as bright as a mouse in the dark. He smiled happily: "Are you talking to me about a usurpation of the country? I heard conspiracy and blood in your words - more details, please say more details."

"Everyone pursues the maximum benefit of low costs, but it is difficult to adjust everyone's words. We cannot block everyone's mouth, so if we want people to keep secrets strictly, we must pay enough money to make him feel that once the secret is leaked, he will lose too much...

Well, my circle is so big, let me return to the topic now:

If I go to Mizhou to be an official, the five broken naval ships obviously cannot meet our requirements. I need to replace all of these five ships with our people, our ships. I need to block everyone's mouths. In this way, I need to give them enough temptation.

I think this temptation is the land. Danluo Island has a humid climate and a vast land and sparse population. It can be fully accommodated by migrating 50,000 people. Your ship can carry horses when you come to Dasong, and when you go back, it is full of immigrants. In less than a year, we can completely occupy the island based on the number of people.

I have a relationship with Goryeo. On Danluo Island, you can find merchants from any country and let these merchants pretend to be. You can use the name of merchants from the Three Kingdoms to go in and out of the Song Dynasty and enjoy the benefits of tax exemption. How about being a king, is it a big temptation?"

Pu Yian smiled cunningly and asked, "Why don't you do it yourself?"

A honest and honest smile appeared on Zhao Xing's face: "I already have a Nagato!"

When talking about Nagato, Pu Yian seemed to remember something. He jumped up quickly, took out a chart from his desk, spread it on the table, and studied: "Nagato, I heard that Japan is in war. Not long ago, you had already sent a boat to Nagato. I also heard that because the Genji Kanto Warrior Order was in conflict with the royal family, the lords in various places were frequently replaced... You didn't want to be an official in Mizhou before, was it because you couldn't get out of your way? Now you are willing again, is it that things in Japan have made progress?"

Zhao Xing looked calm, and he shook his wine glass and replied: "I just drove away the two nearby lords and expanded my territory three times."

"Greater than Danluo Island?"

"Not now, but it will definitely be like this in the future."

Pu Yian snorted twice: "It must have been a lot of trouble here. I know that the war in the last three years is coming to an end, and the days of your two sides will probably end... Well, let's talk about your plan."

At noon, Zhao Xingcai got off the boat and waited for him to return to the castle. He saw that Zhang Yuan had already started to move slowly in the courtyard with the help of his maid. Zhang Dun was in the pavilion on the mountain, drinking alone, and a group of kabukis were playing the piano and singing songs for him.

Cheng Xia came up to report to him: "Prince Jie replied: Why is Li Ren so unaware of the matter? Zhang Zihou is here, can I go? Not to mention the appreciation of flowers, I will not go even if I share the money."

Zhao Xing nodded: "Since that's the case, I'll give each of them a gift, saying that I'm back and will visit you later."

Next, Zhao Xing spent a few days of enjoying flowers and drinking, and when several ships were unloaded, the goods were loaded into the warehouse, and the news about Zhang Yong in Mizhou also returned - he agreed to Zhao Xing's request, and now he is very close to Yuanye every day.

On the sixth day after Zhao Xing returned home, after unloading day and night, the three large ships had unloaded half of the cargo, and the cargo was put into storage for a few days, but the Qiantang tide was about to come. People who were closely monitoring the changes in water levels in the past few days have reported that the water level exceeded the warning line.

"It's time to leave," Zhao Xing said to his wife and concubine reluctantly: "Speaking of this, I've been traveling all day and haven't been with you well, well, wait..."

"We won't let you go this time." Before Cheng Azhu can express his opinion, Chen Yiyi said first: "I'm so busy here that I don't need to fix the floor. No matter how I do, I have to sort out the goods before I can leave... Besides, there must be a personal host at home, right? So Sister Azhu can't leave either. When you settle down, we will go there. Fortunately, Mizhou is not far from this."

Cheng Azhu first comforted Yi Yi, and then replied softly to Zhao Xing: "Don't say this to the official. You are so grateful for your hard work for this family. You are suffering from it. I hate that I have no talent and can't help you... The official just goes there, and I will take good care of my family."

Chen Yiyi immediately replied: "Hmph, Liao Xiaoxiao arrived at the canal mouth yesterday, and you didn't let her come into the house - you didn't want to take her to the office, hehe, don't pretend."

"I will take Zhang Yuan to go with you." Zhao Xing skipped Chen Yiyi's question and continued as if nothing had happened: "It is necessary to save a lot of roads from the sea. When I arrive in Mizhou, I will send someone to send him to the capital."

Zhang Dun rushed over after hearing the news and agreed with the arrangement: "Yan'er will have a scientific exam next year, so he will be ready for the exam early. In this way, he will be hard-working. My home is in Suzhou, not far from here. If there is anything in your home, just talk to me."

This day happened to be the moment when the cherry blossoms fell, and the wind on the sea became stronger and stronger. Pu Yian and Zhao Xing completed the handover at the dock and sent Zhao Xing to set off.

Communications are not smooth these days, and it is impossible for people to conduct remote control commands, so after Zhao Xing left, Pu Yian will be responsible for the operation and construction of the wharf. Zhao Xing introduced him to the remaining managers, and Pu Yian replied: "Yes, I am very satisfied. All the things in the cabin are left for you, and you belong to me. My son will come from Arabia next year to preside over my affairs in Quanzhou. I will do my best to preside over the plan you mentioned. I hope we can cooperate to do this."

The crew members started to board the ship. Finally, they arrived at Liao Xiaoxiao. She was wrapped in a cloak and half-dragged by a group of umbrellas. These umbrellas were the people who Zhao Xing left in the capital. After they boarded the ship, the two ships successively put down their springboards and sailed out of the port. After a while, the ship sailed out of the Qiantang River estuary.

When the ship left the dock, Zhao Xing was busy at the bottom of the bilge. Because he was in a hurry this time, the cargo in the cabin was only unloaded half of the cargo, and the tying ropes for many cargoes had been untied. Before going to sea, he was in a hurry to fix it, and Zhao Xing needed to check it carefully.

When he checked all the goods and returned to the deck, he heard Liao Xiaoxiao crying: "I won't leave, I won't take a boat, I want to see Lord Zhao, Li Ren, where are you? I won't go out to sea!"

Liao Xiaoxiao shouted a little loudly. She was picked up for no reason, stayed at the canal for two days, and then was taken to the sea boat for no reason... This kind of thing is often the case, mostly because the jealous wife at home learned that her husband had an affair, and sent the woman to a Shanghai boat without telling her husband, and sold it overseas as a slave. Liao Xiaoxiao heard too many such legendary stories and thought she was in that situation, so she cried and screamed.

She was crying, and the Hu Ji watched coldly because the person who went to pick them up took Zhao Xing's token. According to the rules, even if Zhao Xing transferred them to others, it would be in line with the Arab rules.

Zhao Xing returned to Pu Yian's cabin and ordered Cheng Xia to go to the deck to invite Liao Xiaoxiao over. He unfolded the chart left by Pu Yian and studied the route carefully.

In recent years, as Zhao Xing and others continue to expand on the sea, many places on this chart have gradually improved. However, it takes hundreds of years to improve the situation of modern charts. Because there are no less than 100,000 islands along the coastline of China, even if the hydrological status of an island is clearly detected in a week, the time spent on a hundred years is calculated.

Most people cannot understand this chart at present because it requires knowledge of trigonometric functions to understand this chart. The secret of the route Zhao Xing operates is on this chart. In this era, other maritime merchants need to follow the direction of the wind. Only when the monsoon is good will they know where they sail, otherwise they will not dare to be sure of their location. However, Zhao Xing was able to sail against the wind. He walked in the sea in a broken line manner, and even if he was driving against the wind, he could know where he was - this navigation technology is close to the navigation technology possessed in the era of great navigation.

When Liao Xiaoxiao entered the door, Zhao Xing was choosing a port on the chart. If his half-ship of cargo broke into the Mizhou Port, he would probably be detained by the government. However, for violating the ban and operating maritime trade, he would be impeached by the censor and even sentenced to prison. So he had to find a safe place to log in and then pick up Zhang Yong.
To be continued...
