"It's just that before that, this official also wants to ask General Xiao Li to do this official a small favor!" Seeing that Li Tianyang took the bait, Nan Juyi changed the topic and said with a little embarrassment on his face.

"......" Although Li Tianyang was surprised in his heart, he saw Nan Juyi acting at this moment, and immediately understood that Nan Juyi wanted to exchange this for his other support.

It's just that although he has been the Admiral of the Navy for half a year, he has only dealt with Nan Juyi a handful of times, except for the daily summons or the exchange when receiving the quarterly salary, the other times they still maintain their own unrelated attitudes.

Officialdom pays attention to mutual benefit and reciprocity, and at this moment, Nan Juyi suddenly proposed to set Jilong Port as a military town, which is naturally happy for Li Tianyang, so that Jilong Port will be firmly controlled in his own hands, and there is nothing else to be done if someone is red.

"My lord, please say, as long as the subordinate can do it, I will do my best!" Li Tianyang thought for a moment, but he really couldn't think of what the other party wanted.

"Actually, for you, it's just a gesture." Nan Juyi could see the expression on Li Tianyang's face clearly, as long as Li Tianyang was moved, then this matter would have a chance to succeed: "This official also wants to play the imperial court at the same time, set up a county in Bengang, set up a county office, and control the people in Bengang!" ”

“！！！” Compared with the benefits given by Nan Juyi before, the conditions proposed by Nan Juyi at this moment were really not a reciprocal deal in Li Tianyang's eyes, so his originally smiling face suddenly collapsed, and he looked at Nan Juyi as cold as frost and replied: "Lord Futai, please forgive the incompetence of the lower officials, don't ......."

"Hey, general, listen to this officer!" Nan Juyi's face was as usual, and he interrupted Li Tianyang's words softly: "The reason why this official has this idea is actually for the sake of the Ming Dynasty's 10,000-year-old foundation, and it is also for the thousands of people in Bengang!" ”

"Although the book has been made now, but Bengang does not have a name after all, and now in the eyes of the ministers of the DPRK and China, I am afraid that it is not as good as the people of Tusi in Yungui and other places. But with all due respect, if there is no real name, there will be many restrictions on the future of thousands of people in Bengang and Jilong Harbor! Nan Juyi's compassionate expression, if it is seen by ordinary people, I am afraid that he thinks that this is a good official who is people-oriented: "I heard that General Xiao Li established a school in Bengang and Jilong to teach articles, but do you know that if you don't have an official title at the beginning, you schoolchildren will not be able to participate in the imperial imperial examination in the future, even if you study through the past and the present, it will be difficult to have achievements and futures, are you willing to let these students study hard for decades, and finally still make a living from farming?" ”

“…………”

"Besides, this official does not want to seize the foundation of General Xiao Li, this official naturally knows that General Xiao Li has spent countless energy and resources in order to develop Bengang and Jilong, and of course he is unwilling to make wedding dresses for others!"

"Therefore, this official compromises, thinking that after all, there are many natives in Bengang, and it is not easy to manage, although there are many tame, but there is still a need for local people with ability and prestige to appease the neighbors, thinking that it is the position of county magistrate for the first few decades!"

“…………”

Nanju Yiyang spoke freely for half an hour, and made a profound discussion on the prospects of Bengang and Jilong Port in the next few decades from all aspects, and most of the words were substantial, rather than exaggerated.

At the beginning, Li Yongzhen was bribed by Li Tianyang, although he kept the foundation of Bengang and Chicken Coop from falling into the hands of others, but the other troubles that followed did make these two places have a lot of inconvenience, that is, even the people in the two places went out to lie far away, and there were too many restrictions because there was no road guide issued by the government.

It is worthy of being a big man who can sit in the position of a second-class master, and his eloquence and insight are not comparable to ordinary people, and after listening to his conversation for a long time, Li Tianyang is no longer as firm as he was at the beginning of his opposition to Nan Juyi's proposal, but with all kinds of deep thought in his heart.

At the beginning, when Li Tianyang took Bengang and chicken coop as his qualifications, he was actually ready for the imperial court to establish county government in these two places, but he didn't expect that Li Yongzhen and Wei Zhongxian behind him had huge energy, and he was stunned to reserve the ownership rights of these two enclaves for him under the pretext of not being elegant.

Coupled with the fact that the ministers of the DPRK and China were in the limelight at the height of the eunuch party's arrogance at that time, and their own prejudice against overseas wild places such as Dayuan, it also made Li Tianyang's two foundations not enter the eyes of outsiders in the short term.

But now that Nan Juyi has begun to plot the idea of setting up a county in Bengang, it goes without saying that the details of these two places must have been known to outsiders, and if it spreads out at that time, even if Nan Juyi temporarily gives up the idea of fighting Bengang and chicken coop at this moment, there is no guarantee that other ministers in the DPRK and China do not have this idea.

Moreover, there is a bigger worry in Li Tianyang's heart, that is, he knows very well that the eunuch party looks very powerful now, but in Li Tianyang's shallow historical knowledge, this force fell apart not long after Emperor Chongzhen of the Great Ming Dynasty ascended the throne.

According to Li Tianyang's estimate, although I don't know how long it will be, I think it should only be three or five years at most.

That is to say, after the fall of the eunuch party, whether Li Tianyang is willing or not, in order to eliminate dissidents, sweep away the eunuch minions distributed inside and outside the court at this time, and then the newly appointed Emperor Chongzhen will also have a big move.

At that time, even if Li Tianyang is unwilling in every possible way, he is afraid that because of the reputation of these two foundations, it will become a means for others to attack him, causing more unnecessary trouble.

Although Li Tianyang is not afraid of all kinds of disadvantages that may arise in the future, with the happy events happening one after another in these days, Li Tianyang is confident that even if he leaves the Ming Dynasty, the Bengang team can still have a good development and action.

At least, the goal I set to protect my family and friends from living in peace in troubled times seems to have been achieved at this time.

It's a big deal that he directly betrayed the Ming Dynasty and sent the Hongtang fleet, which was already powerful at that time, to block the sea route, and the Ming Dynasty without a powerful sailor could only look at the ocean and sigh, and couldn't help himself!

However, it took a lot of effort and energy to break into the Ming court, and with today's official body, if you cut off contact with the Ming Dynasty because of this, wouldn't it be very worthwhile.

And in Li Tianyang's gradually expanding ambition, if he can retain his current position, the benefits he can seek in the troubled times in the future will be much stronger than the short-term peace obtained by closing Dayuan and cutting off contacts with Daming at that time!

"It just so happens that this official has these two letters with him, why don't General Li take a look at them and make a suggestion?" Seeing that Li Tianyang's youth was becoming more and more soft, Nan Juyi struck while the iron was hot, took out the fold that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed it to Li Tianyang.

Li Tianyang's expression was uncertain, looking at the twists and turns in front of him, and finally gritted his teeth and picked it up and read it carefully.
