Feng Ziying is indeed very busy.

Shen Yourong's appearance lifted his spirits.

This is definitely the most suitable candidate for the commander of the Northern Naval Division's fleet.

He is familiar with the military situation in Liaodong, and has served as a naval officer in Fujian for many years, and is slightly older, just 50 years old, but his physical and mental state should be in the prime of life.

In his previous life, he even beat the Japanese and forced the Dutch back in Dongfan (Taiwan) and Penghu, how can this life be worse than the previous life, right?

Shen Yourong arrived in Beijing just one day.

According to the practice of the Great Zhou Dynasty, officials who have completed the Ding Wei period need to report to the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War, and then arrange them according to the number of vacancies, seniority and registration time.

Some people can arrange their positions to take office when they report for duty, and some people may not be able to wait for the arrangement after spending a few years in the capital, and there are also a lot of exquisiteness and opportunities here.

One is to see if there is a suitable corresponding vacancy, you are from the fourth product, but the vacancy is not the fifth product or the fourth product, if you have excellent connections, or you are from a Jinshi background, or you Ding Wei before the concept assessment is excellent, quite recognized by the Ministry of Officials, then the Ministry will definitely give priority, which may not even be arranged according to your order and time.

Of course, this network background is more important in many cases, if you are quite valued by the big man in the DPRK and China, or have a special friendship, even if there is no suitable position for the vacancy you should have arranged, you can be directly promoted to a higher position.

Shen Yourong actually had already completed his period of worries a year ago, and he had come to Beijing last year and reported on it in the Ministry of War.

He was a military general, and his job arrangements were all arranged by the Military Election and Clearance Department of the Ministry of War, and he stayed in Beijing for three months, and he ran out of entanglements, and he didn't wait for the notice, so he could only return to his hometown.

This year, someone also recommended him to come to Jingshi, that is, Wang Wenyan sent him a letter, asking him to leave for Jingshi as soon as possible, and introduced Feng Ziying to him.

As a former commander of the guard, Shen Yourong certainly knew very well how difficult it was for a military general like him, who had long been forgotten to the clouds after three years, to find a suitable official position in the Beijing Division again.

Every official has to face the difficulty of worrying about Ding, three years is enough time to make many people forget you, and in the case of more monks and less porridge, if you don't have enough connections in the military department or the official department, and you don't want to spend money, and want to wait for a suitable position, then boil it.

However, Wang Wenyan's letter lifted his spirits.

Who is Feng Ziying, even if he is a military attache in a foreign city, he has already heard of it.

When he went to Beijing to report to the Ministry of War last year, the other party had already followed Chai Ke, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, out of Beijing to go to Western Xinjiang to quell the rebellion.

At that time, the other party was just a gentleman.

Of course, the future of such a Jinshi is undoubtedly ambitious, and as expected, when he came back from a trip to Western Xinjiang to quell the rebellion, he was already from the Hanlin Academy of Liupin.

This is the power of Jinshi, a warrior like himself who has been fighting hard for 20 years, and it is not even as good as a few articles and a trip to the so-called expedition to quell the rebellion.

However, Shen Yourong, who has been struggling in the sea for decades, has little opinion on this, the Great Zhou Dynasty originally controlled the military with literature, and the civil servants were higher than the military generals, not to mention that the civil ministers who were born in the imperial examination were even more superior.

These are not what Shen Yourong is most concerned about, he is more concerned about Feng Ziying's strategy of opening up the sea and opening up the logistics supply line from southern Liaoning to Denglai.

This is too much in line with Shen Yourong's appetite.

He has been in Liaodong for a long time, and he is well aware of the predicament of Liaodong.

Jianzhou Jurchen relied on the advantages of geographical climate and national habits, and constantly encroached on the surrounding areas, and the abandonment of Kuandian Liubao made him sigh when he was worried about filial piety, and also made him worry about the situation in Liaodong.

Basically, all the logistical supplies of the Great Zhou in Liaodong needed to come from the mainland, or to be precise, from Jiangnan, from grain to cloth, these needed to be transported from Jiangnan to Jingshi by canal, and then from Beijing to Liaodong by land.

Layer by layer of transport here, man-made, natural disasters, or it itself will be consumed, and how big the consumption is, people can't believe it.

If the logistics supply line from Denglai to southern Liaoning is solved, and if the sea can be opened to bring maritime development, then it means that the route from Songjiang or Ningbo - Dengzhou - southern Liaoning can be unimpeded, and the loss of these grains, cloths and other materials can be reduced by at least more than seventy percent!

What makes Shen Yourong even more excited is this strategy of opening the sea, which means that the sea ban policy since the pre-Ming Dynasty will be completely abandoned, and at the same time, the original tributary system of opening the sea will be changed to a completely liberalized sea trade system, which is an epoch-making reform, which means that the Great Zhou will completely open its arms to the sea and no longer be afraid of challenges from the open sea.

Shen Yourong has been in Fujian for more than ten years, and he knows too much about the harm caused by the sea ban.

From the initial seventy or eighty boats of nearly 10,000 people, slowly shrunk to only thirty or forty boats of two or three thousand people, in the face of a small group of pirates can barely support, but when encountering a few groups of pirates, they are overstretched, and they are watching these pirates land and rage in various parts of Fujian and Zhejiang.

If it weren't for the fact that the Japanese side was more settled after the Renchen War, and the Fujian and Zhejiang sides also semi-openly allowed those sea merchants to smuggle, I was afraid that those Japanese pirates would be more rampant to harass the coast.

So when he received Wang Wenyan's letter, he went to Beijing as soon as possible.

If he was only looking for an official position, he Shen Yourong would not be so eager, but if he could take this opportunity to find an opportunity to show his ambitions, then he Shen Yourong would be a horse leather shroud, and it would be worth it.

The only thing that worries him is whether this Feng Xiu is as powerful as Wang Wenyan said.

He admitted that this Feng Ziying must have some ability, and he was able to propose to open up the logistics supply line from southern Liaoning to Denglai, and then came up with a strategy to open the sea as a two-pronged approach.

Although Shen Yourong is a military general, he also knows how big the differences and contradictions between the north and the south in the imperial court are, and it takes a lot of effort to take into account such a strategy that can take care of both sides, especially in the details, so that the northern and southern scholars and ministers can support it.

But what he cares about now is whether Feng Ziying has the ability to push herself to the position he wants to go.

Even Shen Yourong himself didn't know where he was more suitable to go now.

While pondering, he heard his own servant talking to a clear voice outside: "May I ask if General Shen is here?" ”

"Who are you? My lord is resting,......"

"Then can you bother to report it, and say that Feng Keng of the Hanlin Academy asks to see you."

Feng Keng?!

Coming so soon?

Shen Yourong couldn't help but stand up, his face shocked.

It's been less than an hour since I sent this post, right? At that time, the other party did not seem to be at home.

So soon, did you come when you saw your own post?

There were complicated emotions in his heart, but Shen Yourong didn't dare to slack off.

Before Ding Wei, he was the commander of the guard, an official from the fourth grade, but after Ding Wei, he was nothing, even if he was a commander from the fourth rank of the guard, facing a sixth-grade cultivator of the Hanlin Academy, he had no capital to be proud of.

What is Hallym-in Temple? The cradle of the future court's important ministers. This Hanlin Academy, who is not even seventeen years old, may be able to rise to the level of his own level in a few years, this is just a pin, and in terms of future and influence, it is not the same.

Pushing open the door, Shen Yourong clenched his fists, "Shen Yourong has seen Feng Xiu. ”

"General Shen is too polite, Ziying is just a literati, how can he be so courteous to General Shen, who defended the country and fought against foreign enemies?" Feng Ziying was also looking at this General Shen as she spoke.

The appearance is ordinary, not tall, the face is slightly dark, and the pair of bright eyes under Long Zhun's broken eyebrows can make people see a little extraordinary.

"To be able to put forward the suggestion that Liaodong must protect Liaonan - Denglai route is worthy of Shen Mou's bow and thanks, not to mention that Feng Xiu also proposed and promoted the strategy of opening the sea, in Shen's bad opinion, the strategy of opening the sea will definitely make our Great Zhou no longer subject to threats from overseas, whether it is Japan or Xiyi, the sea ban will only tie our Dazhou hands and feet, sit back and wait to die,......"

Both sides are straight to the point, and before they even sit down, they have already spoken bluntly and tentatively.

Feng Ziying likes this style very much.

"Ziying heard that General Shen has been in Liaodong for a long time, and then fought in Fujian, and he knows the key points of the coastal land well, and he is proficient in both land and water battles, I don't know how General Shen thinks the current strategy of the Great Zhou Haijiang should be implemented?"

Feng Ziying's question shocked Shen Yourong, and he couldn't help but look at the young man standing with his hands in his hands again.

If the secretary of the military department or a certain cabinet elder wants to ask this question, Shen Yourong can naturally give some guidance, but no matter how famous the other party is, it is only a Hanlin Academy revision, and what he wants to say is a militaristic matter that really stabilizes the country.

But after a little hesitation, Shen Yourong couldn't help but laugh dumbly and then laughed at himself, he had been idle by the Ministry of War for a year and no one cared about him, that is, he had a strategy that had passed through the heavens and the earth, who would believe it, and who would listen?

Although the person in front of him has a lower status now, his influence and voice are not low, he can't be the master, but at least he can bring his words to a higher level.

"In the short term, from an urgent point of view, opening up the supply line from southern Liaonan to Denglai can greatly improve the defensive posture of eastern Liaodong, and can also prevent North Korea from falling to the Jurchens after being coerced by the Jianzhou Jurchens, and if we can build a strong enough naval fleet, we can bypass the waterway between southern Korea and Japan, all the way to the north, relying on Ezo as a base, passing through the Haixi Jurchens and the Savage Jurchens further north, so as to open up another front from the rear of the Jianzhou Jurchens!"
