Chapter 729: Wait to eat the imperial grain
After leaving the palace and returning home, Xia Hongsheng was a little excited. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Going to Quanzhou in person is something that Xia Hongsheng has been looking forward to for a long time. Develop maritime commerce, encourage going to sea, and in the process, explore and develop waterways, laying the foundation for a larger scale of going to sea. Encourage enterprising sea adventurers to go on ocean voyages, open up new routes, and usher in the era of great exploration in the Tang Dynasty. This is what Xia Hongsheng has been preparing for and wants to do.
But if there is no power, without the cooperation of local officials, Xia Hongsheng alone, this thing will definitely not be done. However, now Xia Hongsheng has the power given by Li Shimin.
Act cheaply. It seems like a simple four words, but it gave Xia Hongsheng the highest autonomy under the imperial power system. Depending on the actual situation or temporary changes, there is no need to ask for instructions. Decide for yourself the measures and methods of handling the matter. Moreover, ordering local officials to cooperate with Xia Hongsheng is equivalent to giving Xia Hongsheng an arrow.
In this way, Xia Hong was promoted to Quanzhou, and he could open his fists and feet and display his plans and plans.
Xia Hongsheng has too many things to do in his head, but at the same time, Xia Hongsheng also knows that things are prioritized, if there is no clear organization and clue, it can only be chaotic into a pot of porridge, and in the end, nothing can be done, and it is not good.
So after leaving the palace and returning to the house in Chang'an, Xia Hongsheng immediately buried himself in the study, spread out the paper, picked up the pen, and straightened out his thoughts.
If you take this to Quanzhou as a chapter in a role-playing game, then there should be two main quests for this chapter.
First, the training of amphibious units.
Second, to get food from the country of Linyi.
Xia Hongsheng took the pen and wrote it on the paper.
After thinking about it, Xia Hongsheng used another brace to frame these two items, and wrote four words next to them: prerequisite task.
The so-called premise task is that Xia Hongsheng went to Quanzhou, no matter what he did, these two things must be guaranteed and completed. On the premise of completing these two tasks, Xia Hongsheng can do what he wants to do.
crack down on pirate forces, eliminate maritime customs, and create good maritime conditions; Promote new types of ships and encourage exploration and trade at sea; Collect charts of shipping routes to encourage more people to go to sea. This is what Xia Hongsheng wants to do. But these things can only be carried out under the premise of completing those two prerequisite tasks.
Otherwise, it will not be possible to get Li Shimin's support.
Xia Hongsheng planned a night, until it was dark outside, and then he had a plan in mind.
No matter what he does, Xia Hongsheng is accustomed to planning in advance, taking into account all aspects of the possibility, and even the various emergencies that may be encountered, preparing the corresponding methods one by one, and then putting them into practice. This habit makes Xia Hongsheng sometimes seem a little indecisive, but it also makes Xia Hongsheng methodical and orderly when he puts it into practice, and he is also prepared and coping with some unexpected situations.
However, before that, Xia Hongsheng still has one more thing, which must be completed before he can set off with peace of mind.
Put down the pen and fold the pile of paper that planned the trip to Quanzhou. When I came out of the study, it was already dawn.
I washed my face with cold well water, ate a little, and got into the carriage back to Jingyang.
"Childe, Childe? Here we are. Qi Yong woke up Xia Hongsheng, who had been sleeping in the carriage for a while, and when he saw Xia Hongsheng open his eyes, he said again: "Childe, let's go to Zhang Laodao." ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded, rubbed his face, got off the carriage, and walked into Zhang Laodao's alchemy room.
Pushing the door directly in, Zhang Laodao was munching on vegetable cakes by the stove, and the Hu man was holding a meat bun and feasting. Xia Hongsheng suddenly pushed open the door and entered, startling the two of them.
"Ouch, Master Hou!" Zhang Laodao hurriedly got up and saluted. The Hu man also stood up and saluted, and said, "Meet Master Hou!" ”
Xia Hongsheng nodded, and then said: "Daochang Zhang, stop what you have at hand first, focus on the few things you have discovered, and do as much as you can, the more the better!" As soon as it is made, it will be sent over, and if the stove is not enough, add a few more stoves, and Benhou will use it at the end of this month. ”
The corners of Zhang Laodao's mouth were still stained with vegetable leaves, and he nodded and said, "Lao Dao knows." ”
Xia Hongsheng was in a hurry to go to the academy to continue studying the arrangement and order of the light beads, so he didn't say a word and wanted to leave again.
went out of the door and was about to leave, but suddenly heard Zhang Laodao shouting inside: "Oops! How many times have I told you, don't eat to see the stove, you eat that thing is full of fat, if you fall into it, it will ruin the natural treasure of this stove! ”
Hearing Zhang Laodao's words, Xia Hongsheng was stunned, and suddenly a thrill in his heart!
I went and seemed to have guessed how the stove had blown up before!
Xia Hongsheng turned around sharply and strode back, his excited look startled Zhang Laodao, and he looked at Xia Hongsheng in a daze, and he didn't dare to speak.
"You dripped oil in?!" Xia Hongsheng stared at the Hu man and asked.
The frightened face of the Hu man changed color, and he waved his hand again and again: "No!" No! Don't get me wrong! ”
Xia Hongsheng stared at him, then turned to Zhang Laodao and asked, "The last time the alchemy furnace exploded, did he also take a greasy thing by the stove and look inside the furnace like today?" ”
Zhang Laodao didn't know what Xia Hongsheng was going to do, so he nodded stunned and said, "He took a roast chicken last time...... Roast duck? …… I can't remember ......."
The Hu man's face turned white, and he hurriedly kept shouting: "Little wronged! Small injustice! It's not a small fried stove! ”
"Ben Hou didn't say it was you." Xia Hongsheng shook his head, and suddenly smiled: "Benhou wants to reward you!" ”
The Hu man was stunned, and the people in the house didn't know what was wrong with Xia Hongsheng, let alone what medicine was sold in Xia Hongsheng's gourd.
But I heard Xia Hongsheng ask Zhang Lao Dao again: "Zhang Daochang, Ben Hou remembers, you said that when the alchemy furnace was blown up before, it was calcining saltpeter in it, yes or no?" ”
Zhang Laodao nodded, still with a stunned and cautious look, he was frightened by Xia Hongsheng.
"Then Ben Hou asks you again, before the alchemy furnace distilled saltpeter, you used it to calcinate alum, yes or no?!" Xia Hongsheng asked again, with incomparable excitement in his voice.
"This ...... Yes, yes! Zhang Laodao was about to cry, and said to Xia Hongsheng with a bitter face: "Hou, Master Hou, what's wrong with you......"
"Hahahaha! ......" Xia Hongsheng suddenly laughed and said, "Okay! Very good! The two of you blind cats ran into dead rats, and unintentionally, they actually came up with something that is very useful to my Datang! This marquis wants to report to Your Majesty and ask for credit for the two of you! The two of you, hehe, wait to eat the imperial grain! (To be continued.) )
