Yan Xiwen quickly called his master to arrange food and drinks.
What day is it today? Fu Xiaoguan actually came to this place! He also brought a fifth prince, Yu Wendao!
Now anyone in the Yu Dynasty who is not blind can see that this fifth prince must be the next emperor of the Yu Dynasty.
As for Fu Xiaoguan, Yan Xiwen knew very well that he must also be the emperor of the Wu Dynasty.
Yan Xiwen was simply flattered that two emperors came to this guy.
But perhaps due to the influence of Fu Xiaoguan, he behaved calmly and calmly.
After some pleasantries, Zhuo Liuyun went out to wash up. Yan Xiwen made a new pot of tea, and then Fu Xiaoguan asked about Zhuo Liuyun.
"This guy is a talent. When Yu Wenshu returned to Jinling, he mentioned it to me, saying that his governance in Yunlai County was very organized. Unfortunately, Yunlai County is too poor. We have to see results. It's not a year or two, so it seems that His Majesty has misunderstood him."
Only then did Yan Xiwen understand, "I originally wanted to keep him here as a master, but he said he wanted to do business... How about you go back to Jinling and talk to His Majesty? Or maybe His Highness lend a hand? Otherwise, it would be a pity. ”
Fu Xiaoguan looked at Yu Wendao and spread his hands, "If you want to do this favor, you can do it. If you don't do it, I'll be put down."
"If this is really the case, I will definitely take this person. If I don't ask my father, I will let him stay with me."
"That's okay. I estimate that His Majesty will crown you the crown prince next spring. Then you will have to train soldiers. Someone must take care of the East Palace."
Zhuo Liuyun, who is still bathing, is lamenting the uncertainty of fate. This small landowner from Linjiang is now a Taoist, and he is still Ding Anbo, but he has been struggling in Yunlai County for two years. Instead, he lost everything.
Fate is indeed unpredictable. He didn't know that just because of Fu Xiaoguan's words, he would become a close minister of the prince.
Yan Xiwen was also extremely surprised at this moment. The five hundred taels of silver were so worth it. Zhuo Liuyun was also very lucky!
"Are you going back for the New Year?" Fu Xiaoguan asked while drinking tea.
"Go back and prepare to leave at twenty."
"Your Highness and I came all the way. You have done a great job in Yao County."
"Don't hurt me, I've got your advice. Where is the most famous place in the world now? It's Wofeng Road! Even a dozen businessmen from Yao County have gone to Wofeng Road , I’m really worried that your place will attract all the businessmen’s funds from all over the country, otherwise we will be in trouble!”
Fu Xiaoguan laughed loudly, "There are now restrictions on investment in Wo Feng Road. Investments less than one million taels are not allowed."
Yan Xiwen was shocked and looked at Fu Xiaoguan for a long time, "Is it so bloated? You are still the biggest investor in my place. Why don't you recommend the businessmen you don't want to me? I won't dislike it, no matter how big or small."
"Of course I can recommend it to you, but Yao County is too small."
When Yu Wenwen heard it, he seemed to have a clear understanding. In fact, he had received some education from Fu Xiaoguan along the way.
"When I return to Jinling, I will tell my father that I will leave Linjiang to you. Is this a big enough place?"
When Yan Xiwen heard this, he was about to be promoted?
After working hard in Yao County for two years, he is not afraid of becoming a magistrate. In fact, his grandfather Yan Beixi has already had this plan, but now that the fifth prince has said this, of course he has to accept it. The prince's love.
Now there is no longer a question of taking sides. Yan Xiwen cupped his hands to Yu Wendao and smiled, "Then this matter is all thanks to His Highness!"
The chat after that became more casual. Only Zhuo Liuyun, who came out of the bath, was flattered and a little uneasy after hearing the fifth prince's arrangement.
Is this what you call losing something and reaping something from the east?
……
……
Yan Xiwen prepared a sumptuous table for lunch, but Fu Xiaoguan didn't drink much.
"I came here this time to see how the ship was being built."
"The boatmen said that they have never seen the thing you painted before. It is bigger than the existing ships of the Wu Dynasty, and the structure is more complex. Everything is a fumbling process, and the progress is not fast... Come and have a drink,"
Yan Xiwen raised his glass and drank with Fu Xiaoguan, "It's not that I don't try my best. I go there at least three times every month. Those boatmen also work very hard. They said that this is the first ship built. Just come out."
"Well..." Fu Xiaoguan nodded, "I'll go take a look later."
Only then did Yu Wenwen find out that Fu Xiaoguan actually built a dock in Yao County——
"Is it different from the building boats in the Yangtze River?"
"It's much taller than those buildings. He said it was a warship." Yan Xiwen said.
"Warship? What's the use of this thing?" Yu asked, even more curious.
Fu Xiaoguan chuckled, "Of course warships are used for fighting... Think about it, if Xue Dingshan's trouble happens again in Jiannan Road, we have warships in hand, and we can get there directly along the Yangtze River. Yuzhou, even if you can't bombard the enemy, you can still transport troops."
"Isn't it good to have a building and a ship to transport troops?"
"The high-rise ships are too slow and too small. How many high-rise ships are needed to transport an army of 300,000 people? I'm afraid the city will be gone by the time they get there."
It seemed to make sense, and Yu Wendao also became interested and wanted to see what this warship looked like.
Only Yan Xiwen vaguely felt that Fu Xiaoguan spent so much money and energy on this thing, maybe it was not as simple as he said at the moment.
Of course Fu Xiaoguan did not say that the purpose of this warship was to go down the Yangtze River to find the outlet and go to the vast ocean.
The group of people ate and drank and headed straight to the dock.
The road from Yao County to the dock has been completely connected. There is a wide cement road and a thin layer of snow. The carriage runs extremely smoothly.
Half an hour later, the carriage arrived at the dock.
Fu Xiaoguan and others got off the carriage and saw the quiet dock and the huge dock on the other side of the dock.
"A warehouse will be built here next year, and the Yao County Terminal will also be opened next year..." Yan Xiwen pointed to Fu Xiaoguan and Yu Daodao, and said: "The warehouse is designed to store 300,000 tons For goods, this wharf can dock eight large ships at the same time. Next year, the goods produced in Yao County can be sent to anywhere on both sides of the Yangtze River through this wharf."
"Let's go, I'll take you to the dock to have a look."
More than a hundred craftsmen are working feverishly in the huge shipyard. The person in charge of this three-masted warship is Tan Laogen, an old shipwright from the Wu Dynasty.
At this moment, he stood on the huge keel of the warship and looked at it carefully.
I have been building ships all my life, but I have never built such a large and complex warship!
This is a warship designed by His Highness himself. It is different from any warship Tan Laogen knows!
It is fifteen feet long and three stories high. It is expected to weigh more than three hundred tons after completion!
It is different from other ships in many ways, especially the front and rear decks of its second and third floors, which will be equipped with naval guns developed by Xishan Research Institute!
He has seen the power of this naval gun. Tan Laogen is looking forward to the birth of this warship. He thinks that under the bombardment of this naval gun, no ship in the world will be its opponent.
His Royal Highness named this ship Dauntless, it must be fearless!
