==Chapter 200==

With such a sum of money, it is imperative to establish the Zhejiang Navy.

After the matter was unanimously approved at the court, the next thing to consider was where to allocate troops to increase the strength of the navy.

When mentioning this, we cannot help but talk about the Chaohu Navy.

The Chaohu Navy was the predecessor of the former Navy, and it was also famous and had been in charge for many years. It is a pity that as the maritime ban of the previous dynasty was opened and closed, it gradually declined.

When they arrived in Dachang, the imperial court repeatedly banned the sea and moved inland several times. The Chaohu Navy also changed from a base for importing talents from various navies to a group of ordinary soldiers transporting grain from south to north. Although it was still officially The name of a navy has long existed in name only.

One of the last batch of warships of the Chaohu Navy was retained for transporting grain, while the other batch was transferred to the Fujian Navy.

This time the imperial court proposed a proposal to establish a navy, so it was natural that it should be done sooner rather than later. Originally, some ministers suggested that some troops be transferred from the Fujian and Guangdong naval divisions to Zhejiang. The cabinet also agreed, but when Emperor Jiacheng arrived, Here, I was beaten back.

Emperor Jiacheng meant to draw people from the Chaohu Navy. There are many pirates along the coast of Zhejiang, and there are even more pirates in the Guangdong and Fujian areas. We cannot care about one at the expense of the other. In fact, to put it bluntly, we still don't trust the naval forces of the two places.

Every decision made by the imperial court is just a matter of lip service to the people above, but it is a huge shock to the people below. After the matter was settled, the Ministry of War transferred 2,000 soldiers of all levels from the Chaohu Navy to Zhejiang, and also transferred 500 soldiers from the Fujian and Guangdong Navy. This was the initial team of the Zhejiang Navy.

The commander-in-chief was Gou Datong, the former deputy general of the Chaohu Navy, and Xue Tingyan was appointed concurrently as the admiral of the navy.

The so-called admiral's full name is the admiral's military affairs chief.

The commander-in-chief is a military attache, and the admiral is a civilian official. According to Dachang's rules, it is usually the military attache who trains troops and is controlled by civilian officials. This is equivalent to saying that Xue Tingyan is the one who keeps his word in the Zhejiang Navy.

After the incident happened, there was another shock between the government and the public.

It’s not like I’ve never seen people get promoted quickly, but this is the first time I’ve seen people get promoted like Xue Tingyan. In just a few years, he was promoted from the seventh-rank Zhima County Official to the fifth-rank Shibo Secretary. It seemed that he had only been promoted one and a half levels, but in fact, the power in his hands was vastly different.

In less than a year, he has been promoted from the fifth grade to the second grade, which is considered to be the first time in the world.

No, absolutely not! If he continues to be promoted like this, he will have to give up all other people's offices to him! This proposal met with opposition from all over the court. These civil servants have always made many twists and turns, and even if they object, they are very particular about what they say.

Some said that Xue Tiju was too young and that such a promotion might hurt Zhongyong. Others said that being promoted from the fifth rank to the second rank was inconsistent with the rules of the court. All in all, everything was said, and the matter was at a standstill.

Emperor Jiacheng was also very persistent. After being poor for so many years, it was not easy for him to find someone who was good at doing business to make money for him. Emperor Jiacheng knew better than anyone how important the coastal area of ​​Zhejiang was. If he listened to them and let anyone go in such a key place, he would be able to mess up the good things.

People who suddenly become rich are usually unwilling to go back to the previous situation of always worrying about money. Besides, Emperor Jiacheng now feels that Xue Tingyan is his lucky general. Ever since Xue Tingyan emerged, he has used him to fight many times. The faces of those old killers naturally wanted to support him.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and finally reached a compromise and appointed Xue Tingyan as the promotion officer of Dinghai City Shipping Department and acting admiral of Zhejiang Navy.

This 'generation' means that Xue Tingyan is temporary and may be replaced at any time. But this Xue Tingyan doesn't care, just take it for him. It's a bit difficult to get him to take it out if it's in his pocket.

In fact, what Xue Tingyan lacks now is time and his own team. If he can place his own people everywhere, he will not be afraid even if a naval admiral comes to replace him.

After the imperial edict was sent to Zhejiang, it caused a shock.

Whether you like it or not, feel aggrieved or not, it is obvious that there is nothing you can do to deal with this person for the time being, and you have to do what you have to do to save face, so congratulatory letters and gifts have been sent one after another. And everyone in the Xue family was extremely happy. The master had been promoted. Although he was a deputy, the people below him didn't care whether he replaced him or not.

A group of soldiers from the Chaohu Navy arrived in Dinghai last night. Due to the inconvenience of entering the city and the fact that the Navy garrison had not yet been built, they camped outside the city. As the acting admiral, Xue Tingyan was supposed to go to see them.

Zhao'er had long hair and was wearing a jade-white middle coat with a casual outer robe thrown over it. He changed Xue Tingyan's official robe.

Because he is only acting admiral, he naturally follows his own rank and can only wear his cyan official robe.

He dusted his sleeves, curled his lips and said, "These people like disgusting people the most, and they will do nothing to replace them."

Zhao'er tidied up his clothes and said with a smile: "Who was worried about failure before? Just take your place, it won't be a problem anyway."

"It's just an eyesore."

I say I don’t care, but in fact I don’t care. As an official, being able to put on the crimson official robe is to become a high-ranking official. This is the gap. Some people will not be able to wear Fei throughout their lives and will only regret it for the rest of their lives.

"Okay, you have only been an official for a few years."

Seeing that he was dressed, Zhao'er also went behind the screen to put on his clothes, tidied them up casually, and then the two of them went outside to have breakfast.

There is no rule in the Xue family about eating and sleeping, and Xue Tingyan and Zhao'er are both busy, so the morning and evening meal times are also the time for the whole family to bond.

Ask Hong'er about his homework and give him some trivial advice. Hong'er is more obedient and sensible than ordinary children. Especially since Brother Dawei came, the two little guys have a very good relationship. They are inseparable and Mengmeng is not separated from each other, which saves the adults a lot of worry.

Zhao Di is also busy now, and there is not enough manpower in Dinghai, so she is now in charge of the shops on Shuangyu Island. She usually interacts with Yi people a lot, and recently I heard that she was looking for someone to learn some Yi language.

"Mom, are you going out again?" Hong'er asked.

Seeing his son say this, Zhao'er felt a little guilty and said, "My mother is going out to do something big this time. Your uncle Shengzi, uncle Jiang Wu, and your fourth uncle are all out. There is really a shortage of manpower outside. Mother is the only one who can do it." I want to go out. After this time's business is finished, mom will be at home to spend time with you and your father."

Xue Tingyan was eating porridge with a bowl on the side and said nothing.

In fact, he and Zhao'er discussed this matter last night. They wanted to build a bank account, but they didn't have the manpower and material resources, so they had to cooperate with others.

Now Zhao'er and the others are busy with this matter, reaching an agreement with the voting numbers from various places. As long as the other party recognizes the votes issued by this voting number, the matter is half done. The merchants took the meeting tickets and went to various places to exchange silver, and Dinghai would transport the silver to the other party based on the amount of the meeting tickets.

It sounds simple, but in fact there are too many things involved. The first is the issue of trust. There is no proof, why should others help you advance payment? As long as there are votes involved, the amount will not be small, and no one will joke about money.

Of course, Tailong Trading Company can also deposit a sum of money to a local bank account in advance, and others can help with the exchange. However, the funds required are too huge, and it is impossible to do it even if Zhao'er's entire family fortune is spent.

No, Gao Sheng, Jiang Wu and others were dispatched to various places to negotiate with local big ticket companies. Unfortunately, the progress was not smooth, so Zhao'er decided to take action personally.

She now has some reputation in the southern Zhili area. As the brother-in-law of Xue Tiju, the chief shipping officer, she should be able to persuade them more easily than Gao Sheng.

As long as the situation in the Jiangnan area can be opened up, it will be much easier in the northwest. In fact, seriously speaking, most maritime merchants still gather in Jiangnan and other places. Although there have been many more merchants from the northwest and northwest since the establishment of Haifu, they still account for a minority.

"That's it, mother, please pay attention to safety on the road." Hong'er said.

Zhao'er looked at his son's face and saw that he didn't show any sad expression, and felt relieved immediately. But an inexplicable panic suddenly came over me. I always felt that I was spending less time with my son, so there was no difference between having a mother and not having a mother?

Honger quickly ate and said he was going to the study with Brother Wei.

After Hong'er left, Zhao'er's waist suddenly collapsed.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing." She said with a gloomy expression.

Xue Tingyan put down her chopsticks and patted her shoulder: "Okay, don't think too much. Children will grow up and one day they will slowly separate from their parents. Especially when boys grow up, they will no longer be clingy. , naturally not as considerate as Nvwa. Hong'er is very sensible and filial. Do you think you are willing to let him hold your legs and say, Mom, you can't leave?"

"I'm not, I just think..." Zhaoerxi opened his mouth and sighed dejectedly: "I don't know what's wrong with me!"

"When he grows up, he may go to study somewhere or go on a study tour. Can you watch him for the rest of his life? If you don't want to go out, then don't go. Anyway, our family is not short of money now. ."

"I..."

"Look, you are unwilling to give in, so why are you struggling?"

“My sister said that I often go out and there might be more people at home when I come back one day. She said that men like to have wives, especially those who are officials.”

Xue Tingyan looked at her and laughed: "He Ze is going around and around, are you trying to beat me before going out?"

"I didn't."

"Really or falsely?" He suddenly got very close.

"Really not."

Xue Tingyan touched her chin, looking thoughtful, and said: "It's really hard to talk about this matter. Now that I have been promoted, sir, it is obvious that I have a bright future in the future. I am afraid that some adult will value me and give his daughter to him." I'm going to be a concubine or something, do you think I should take her in or not?"

Zhaoer smiled and said, "Then do you want to accept it or not?"

"Well..."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Tingyan felt a pain on his lip, but it was Zhaoer who bit him. After biting the man, he wanted to run away, but was pulled back by Xue Tingyan.

Zhao'er felt a salty smell fill his mouth, and then he realized that he had bitten hard. Suddenly, he was knocked unconscious by a wave of waves.

After a long while, I woke up and saw him panting slightly with a smile on his face: "I have a fierce wife at home, and I don't dare to take her in for fear that the beauty will be beaten."

Zhao'er laughed and raised his chin: "You know what's interesting."

The two of them were having such a fooling around that the girl serving at the side had long since been scared away.

After that, he got up to clean up, and Zhao'er arranged the official uniform for Xue Tingyan, but he still lingered and refused to leave.

"It's getting late. It would be rude if you don't go."

"How can I meet people when I go out with your mouth?"

Zhao'er originally thought that he was reluctant to let her go, because after Xue Tingyan left, she would also go out. Who would have thought that it was for this reason.

She raised her eyes and looked over, it was true!

Not only is it swollen, but the skin is also broken.

She became embarrassed and wanted to say something, but Xue Tingyan smiled and said: "I just said that I was bitten by a female mosquito."

After saying that, he left, leaving Zhao'er in a daze for a while.

It took me a while to realize that he was cursing. Which house has such big mosquitoes? !

*

Xue Tingyan went outside the city and met Gou Datong and a group of soldiers from the Chaohu Navy.

Now we can no longer call it Chaohu Navy, but Zhejiang Navy.

Walking through the military camp, I secretly observed the mental outlook and every detail of the soldiers. I could tell that they were a group of elite troops, not just a random bunch.

Xue Tingyan's mental arithmetic was half-empty. In order to accomplish this, he specially sent a letter to Chen Jian, just to let him mention the Chaohu Navy in front of Emperor Jiacheng.

The navy's soldiers are different from those of the land army. There are only three naval divisions in Dachang. Those who don't want the Fujian and Guangdong navy can only go here.

In his dream, Emperor Yanxi had served as the admiral of the Fujian Navy before he ascended the throne in his early years. At that time, the Navy was already rotten at its roots. Emperor Yanxi was the one who borrowed from the Chaohu Navy to build the navy. The Dachang navy became famous all over the world and established a great reputation.

Actually, he was taking a risk. Fortunately, the dream did not lie to him.

While Xue Tingyan was observing the soldiers of the Chaohu Navy, these people were also observing him. They saw that this civil servant had a slender figure and looked weak at first glance.

He looks dignified, but his lips are a little swollen.

In the large tent in the center of the military camp, Gou Datong and his generals all looked at Xue Tingyan's mouth intentionally or unintentionally.

These glances were so obvious that Xue Tingyan smiled calmly, touched his mouth and said: "This is a mosquito bite. In fact, I am not a local. I am really not used to it when I first come here. If nothing else, just Speaking of mosquitoes, if the mosquitoes in our northwest are not much bigger than ants, the mosquitoes here are not much smaller than flies."

The navy generals who were deceived and crippled couldn't help but think about this issue when Xue Tingyan took them to see the navy station.

Is this mosquito that big? Could it be the mother's?
