Turbulent Times Chapter 1008: The hot salt field
It has been five or six years since I came to this era. Wang Junlin knows very well what the virtues of the powerful and noble are, so without Shen Guang and Xu Jingzong sending people information, he guessed that the old guy Pei Shiju had an alliance with him intention of.
Wang Junlin's deeds have already proved that, including the emperor, as long as anyone or any force in the world can get Wang Junlin's help, half of the success is already achieved.
Before, people in the world felt that Wang Junlin was a loner. Even if Wang Junlin built the Blue Yiwei Mansion, these people only thought that Wang Junlin was a sword in the hands of the emperor. The position of the commander of the Weifu came down to Fanyang County, and after defeating and even severely injuring the Fanyang Lu family with his own strength, all the nobles in the world realized that the power in Wang Junlin's hands might have become a colossus before he knew it. Although they didn't know what kind of power Wang Junlin had in his hands, it didn't stop them from guessing.
Yu Wenshu is Shangshu Youpushe, the head of all officials, and the general of Youwei, who is in charge of the military affairs of the Sui Dynasty. Many officials of the court have turned to Yuwenshu. But the power in Pei Shiju's hands is not trivial. Behind him is Wenxi Pei, and he is Wenxigong himself. He is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and is in charge of the evaluation and dispatch of officials all over the world. The official rank is only one level lower than Yu Wenshu. Both of them are The cabinet members formed by Yang Guang are only lacking in Yu Wenshu's favor from the emperor. The conflict between the two has deepened over the past few years due to power struggles and conflicts of interest.
Pei Shiju has to be said to be at an absolute disadvantage. How to take the initiative back, what to do in this article, one of the good strategies is to form an alliance with others, and obviously has a problem with Yu Wenshu, but Wang Junlin, who has a close relationship with his grandson Pei Yuanqing, is naturally the first choice, forming an alliance with Wang Junlin, It is equivalent to adding a strong foreign aid to the local area. So Pei Yanmao still has a lot of things to discuss with Wang Junlin.
In fact, this is also one of the reasons why Wang Junlin is so strong towards Zhao Chen, because this in itself is also a move by Xiang Yanmao's representative, Wenxi Pei, to show off his muscles.
It will take two or three days for the Fanyang Commander to prepare the ships for the Silla Kingdom. During this period, Pei Yanmao and Wang Junlin had three secret talks, which can be regarded as a preliminary consensus. Of course, at this time, there is no sign of the Great Sui falling apart. The so-called alliance It's nothing more than watching and helping each other.
…
…
The spring moon was cool and cool. After seeing off Pei Yanmao and his party at the port of Rongcheng County, Wang Junlin went directly to the saltworks by boat.
He made a temporary decision, and he didn't inform Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Xu Xiaohu, Lian Zhongtao, Qian Zhengkuo, etc. before coming. The five of them are very busy recently.
Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong are in charge of training soldiers, and Wang Junlin gave them a time limit of three months. After three months, Wang Junlin will take the three thousand salts to participate in actual combat to test the training effect.
Lian Zhongtao led the five selected master craftsmen to implement the new salt cooking method taught by Nie Xiaoyu in full swing. The number of hands is less than one-fifth of the original, and the boiled salt is purer.
Most of the large number of salt slaves and salt workers freed up were led by Qian Zhengkuo to reclaim fertile land. The area of the salt field is as large as a county. In fact, it is the ninth county in Fanyang County. It has a lot of barren land. According to the plan made by Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu, at least 200,000 mu of good land must be cultivated within a year. .
In addition, Xu Xiaohu took a group of craftsmen personally trained by Nie Xiaoyu to build a shipyard in a secret place in the bay in the salt field. It has already started at that time, and now four or five months have passed, the shipyard has been completed, sea ships under 1,000 shi have been manufactured, and the sea trials have been successful. Yesterday, ten warships with 1,000 shi were secretly delivered. On the Snake Island.
The five people were each in charge of one side, and they were not too far away from the Yanzhen post house. Before these people arrived, Wang Junlin was flipping through the copy that Shen Guoer had just sent to gather news from all over the place.
Eastern Turkic forces continued to expand, and several large northern nomadic tribes were annexed by the Turkic people.
The people who built the Grand Canal in Huainan rioted, and the local county soldiers quelled the chaos in three days, beheading and killing more than 20,000 people.
Although the civil unrest in Huainan was settled, the Jiangnan was flooded in the spring, the refugees were crowded, and the government mishandled it, resulting in chaos. Many rogues took over the mountain and became kings. .
Looking through the manuscripts from all over the country, except for official articles praising meritorious deeds, there is almost no news that can comfort people's hearts.
Leaving the county town this time, Chen Danying was idle and bored, so he followed. At this time, he walked in, saw Wang Junlin sneered and frowned sadly, and said, "I just heard that the girl from Guoer said you watched it." These information ponds will definitely be annoying, as expected!"
"Actually, you don't need to look, I know what's going on in various parts of the Sui Dynasty." Wang Junlin took Chen Danying's smooth and smooth hand, and let her sit on him.
Wang Junlin gently rubbed Chen Danying's cheeks with his fingers, his skin was very smooth, unusually delicate, with a faint fragrance spreading to the tip of his nose, his slightly charming eyes were like a clear spring under the moonlight, attractive, It can temporarily relieve people from annoying trivial matters.
"What do you want to do? Guo'er is still outside, and you have to call everyone in the salt field to discuss matters later!" Chen Danying struggled shyly, her limp body seemed to be rubbing against Wang Junlin's arms , preventing Wang Junlin from reaching into the skirt of his clothes.
Chen Danying struggled to sit up, pushed Wang Junlin down on the soft couch, and coquettishly said in shame and annoyance: "Don't make trouble, I will accompany you well in the evening."
At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard again in the yard, and Zhang Tiangang's voice came in: "My lord, Xu Xiaohu and the others are back."
Wang Junlin said: "Let them in!"
Chen Danying glared at Wang Junlin and left through the side door.
Five people, Xu Xiaohu, Lu Han, Guan Xiaotong, Qian Zhengkuo, and Lian Zhongtao filed in and saluted Wang Junlin respectfully. I have been paying attention to the progress of all aspects of the saltworks, but some things are not very detailed. At this time, after listening to the reports of five people, I have a detailed and comprehensive understanding.
Wang Junlin nodded and said, "Yes, the five of you have worked hard, but this is just the beginning, so don't slack off, especially for military training and shipyard matters, and strictly follow the previous plan, step by step. If there is any problem, report it in time.”
