Han Zhi wanted to say more, but Li Jing waved his hand, "Qilang doesn't need to say anything about this matter, don't say that I'm just a small town general and can't help this matter." It's really good to help, but Shichiro also has to think about me, that Feng Chang is my top boss. Now that I have not yet taken up the post, I have taken the name of King Zhao and the two teachers to suppress him. Have you ever wondered how I'm going to gain a foothold in Salmen when I take office? ”

Li Jing patted Han Zhi's arm and left first. It's not that he doesn't want to help the Han family, it's just that Han Zhi's attitude is a little too arrogant. Second, even the head of the Han family went to beg Cui Yunqing in person, but he couldn't even see anyone, which is enough to show that the teacher is unwilling to wade into this troubled water. Although Li Jing is Cui Yunqing's protégé, he still has some self-knowledge, originally he didn't go to Qingzhou with him this time, Cui Yunqing will definitely be a little unhappy in his heart. If you take care of everything, and then the protégé assigns the teacher to do things, or deal with such a troublesome matter between the two families, this is too stupid. At that time, what will Cui Yunqing think of him? Now he can rely on Cui Yunqing, once the teacher dislikes him and thinks he is ignorant, then Li Jing's life will not be easy in the future.

For the sake of 10,000 dollars, and lost his real backer, that is because of a small loss, picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon.

As soon as Li Jing and Han Zhi separated, another person immediately stopped him. When he looked up, it was the same young man who had been with the Han family outside the village earlier. He hadn't been available just now, and he hadn't asked about this person's identity. As soon as the man saw Li Jing, he immediately bowed down and bowed. "In Xia Cui Zhiyuan, the word Guyun, Silla people's clan. A few days ago, I haven't thanked the Hokke Temple for saving my life, and I am very ashamed, but I am too late to thank you today, so please forgive me. ”

Hearing his words, Li Jing finally remembered that this person was the young man he saved in the Fahua Courtyard that day. Later, when he and Zhang Yingying fled for their lives, he threw him behind a Buddha statue, and he didn't think about it at dawn the next day. Unexpectedly, this person actually found this.

"I'm ashamed to say that I was in a hurry and put my son behind the Buddha statue, and then I forgot about it when I went down the mountain the next day. You weren't found by that group of killers that day, by the way, how could you be arrested that day, and how did you meet Zhang Yingying? Seeing Cui Zhiyuan, Li Jing's heart immediately reminded him of the night of the Fahua Academy.

Li Jing pulled Cui Zhiyuan to find a quiet place and quietly listened to him tell about the events of that day. What's more, Li Jing asked everything about Zhang Yingying, but unfortunately this Cui Zhiyuan was not Zhang Yingying's subordinate as Li Jing imagined. Choi Zhiwon's family in Silla was an ordinary nobleman in Gyeongju, Silla. At the age of twelve, he was selected as a Silla student to study in the Tang Dynasty, and took a boat to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty with many of his fellow villagers, and entered the country to study. Before leaving, his father earnestly trusted him and sternly admonished: "If you don't enter the first scholar for ten years, you don't call me a son, I don't say I have a son, I am diligent, and there is no laziness." "The Cui family was not a dignitary at that time, just an ordinary noble, if you want to revitalize the family, the glory lintel, and the first Jinshi is the only shortcut. Twelve-year-old Cui Zhiyuan thus undertook the important mission of the entire Everbright family.

Cui Zhiyuan worked very hard, and finally only five years after coming to Datang, he was admitted to the Jinshi in this year's imperial examination. The news was transmitted back to Silla, and the Choi family celebrated together. Because Cui Zhiyuan was not willing to return to Silla immediately, the Cui family sent people to bring letters to him for the caravans between Silla and Datang. The merchant ship with the letter capsized in the sea in a storm, and it happened that Zhang Yingying's merchant ship rescued some people on board. The man was injured and entrusted the matter of delivering the letter to Zhang Yingying, Zhang Yingying knew that Cui Zhiyuan had actually been admitted to the Jinshi at the age of seventeen, and he also admired this fellow villager very much, so he personally came to Dengzhou to deliver a letter to him.

As a result, I don't know how this matter leaked out, and Princess Jinman, who had been chasing and killing Zhang Yingying, knew about it, so she took him and used him as bait to plan an action to besiege and kill Zhang Yingying. Fortunately, Li Jing inadvertently broke into the Dragon Maiden Hall that day and saved Zhang Yingying and Cui Zhiyuan. Cui Zhiyuan woke up that day and hid behind the Buddha statue, and was lucky enough to escape the assassin. Early the next morning, Zhang Yingying found him and took him away. Zhang Yingying originally wanted to take him back to Silla, but Cui Zhiyuan admired the life of the Tang Dynasty very much and wanted to be an official of the Tang Dynasty. However, according to the usual example, he will not be able to elect an official until two years later for him to take the imperial examination this year. Zhang Yingying showed him the way and asked him to come to Li Jing to ask for a half-official position. In addition, it can be regarded as making him a messenger and bringing a letter for Zhang Yingying.

"If you don't like the bitter cold of the frontier, I am willing to find you an official position in our army. You are a talented person who was born in Jinshi, and you are a little condescending in the garrison. Although Cui Zhiyuan is a Silla person, Li Jingyi considered that he was also a jinshi, so he could be arranged to serve as a civilian staff member in the army. Second, he was introduced by Zhang Yingying, although he has not yet figured out the relationship between himself and Zhang Yingying, but subconsciously heard that Zhang Yingying asked him to come, Li Jing has already made up his mind to leave him behind, and maybe, he can also act as a liaison between him and Cui Yingying.

opened Cui Yingying's letter, but it was a poem by a poet of the late Tang Dynasty. There are only two lines of familiar silk show characters left on the letterhead, which are Li Shangyin's Jinse who is called by Xiao Li Du.

"Jin Se has fifty strings for no reason, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian. Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring.

There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking. This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time. ”

Although many people interpret Li Shangyin's poem as a work of reminiscing about his deceased wife or reminiscing about the past time, Zhang Yingying is used here at this time, and Li Jing feels that he is reminiscing about the night when the two of them were in Fahua Academy. This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time.

So what about today's recollection, which is hatred!

"Zhang Gongzi also asked me to bring a gift to Engong!" Cui Zhiyuan's voice interrupted Li Jing's obsessed mind, and he raised his head to see Cui Zhiyuan handing over a piece of jade pendant. The jade pendant was moist in the hand, the size of a palm, and carved in the middle of the jade pendant was a hideous shark with two rows of fangs exposed.

"What is this?"

Cui Zhiyuan looked at Li Jing with a hint of envy: "This is the shark order, legend has it that the king of the sea, Gongfu, made nine shark jade tokens and awarded them to his nine most trusted captains to command his nine fleets." With this order, you will be able to command a fleet of the Sea King. However, this piece of Engong is specially made for you by Zhang Yingying, although you can't command a fleet with this, but you can immediately take over a 20-zhang long sea ship with a load of 1,500 stone in the port of Chishanpu. ”

"What? With this jade pendant, you can immediately go to Chishanpu to take over a sea ship that is twenty zhang long and carries 1,500 stones? Li Jing exclaimed in disbelief. I can't help but exclaim, "Tongdian Soldiers Thirteen Levels and Water Combat Equipment Attached" said that the warship "wins many people, all of them are based on meters, and one person weighs two stones", and a sea ship of 1,500 stones is enough to carry seven or eight hundred people. As far as Li Jing knows, the top warships of the Tang Dynasty belong to the five-story building ships, and the building ships that are more than 100 feet tall can only accommodate 800 soldiers. Li Jing and then went to Shamen Town to take up his post, an island surrounded on three sides by the Lord of the Great Xie and other forts. If he had such a big ship, it would be a blessing in disguise.

The ship of 1,500 stone is definitely a giant ship, as far as Li Jing knows, no matter how big the ship is, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the warlord Cheng Wei built more than 200 giant ships, the scale is like the official office of the government, called "Hezhou Zai", the rest are called "Qishan", "intercepting the sea", "splitting waves" and so on, and all the troops were requisitioned in the name of rescuing Ezhou, taking the opportunity to seize the land of Huainan. Li Ting, the secretary in charge, advised: "Now there are 1,000 soldiers on board each ship, and the rice has doubled, and once there is a change, it cannot be easily moved. "1,000 koshi plus double the amount of rice, 1,000 koshi of rice 2,000 koku, and double the grain of 4,000 koku, that is 6,000 koku, which is the largest ship at that time.

Li Jing almost couldn't control his desire to go to Chishanpu immediately to receive his first 'battleship', although he already knew that this ship was a merchant ship on the sea, but he still couldn't help but be excited. He can carry six or seven hundred people at a time, and his soldiers can be loaded in one boat. It seems that this time back to Shamen Town, Li Jing can directly take his subordinates to pass over by sea.

couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, Li Jing called Lin Wei, Wang Chong, Lin Wu, and Zhang Hong over, and told a few people the good news as soon as possible. When several people heard the news, they couldn't help but be overjoyed like Li Jing.

"Fourth brother, could it be that this boat was sent by the Han family? I had heard that the shipyard of the Lanling Xiao family in Yangzhou was the largest shipyard in the south of the Yangtze River, and they built all large ships, each of which cost at least 10,000 yuan. The Han family and the Xiao family are in-laws, and in recent years they have also begun to operate maritime trade and shipbuilding, and the Han family has set up a large shipyard in Haizhou in recent years, and many craftsmen are borrowed directly from Yangzhou. I heard that the Han family's shipyard can start hundreds of large ships at the same time when it is busiest, if we can get the support of the Han family, then we don't have to worry about buying ships and repairing ships in the future. Zhang Hong said with a smile.

The shipbuilding industry of the Tang Dynasty can be said to be quite developed, the "Old Tang Book" volume 94 "Cui Rong Biography" recorded that "the world of Tianjin, the boat and navigation gathered, bypass Tongba, Han, the former refers to Fujian, Yue, Qize and ten servals, three rivers and five lakes, control and lead Heluo, and cover Huaihai, Hongge giant ships, thousands of ships, trade and return, the eternal day." "From the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in Shuzhong Jiannan, to the middle reaches of Tanzhou, Ezhou, Jiangzhou, Hongzhou, Yangzhou, and then the canal line of Songzhou and the coastal Haizhou, Dengzhou are all very developed shipbuilding industry. Like during the Zhenguan period, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty appointed Yan Lide as a master craftsman, that is, Hongzhou built 500 floating sea voyages.

However, although the shipbuilding industry in the Tang Dynasty was developed, ships were still very valuable. During the Tang Dynasty, Luoyang wanted to buy "ten racing boats, please send an envoy to Yangzhou to build them, and they cost 5,000 yuan" racing boats, that is, dragon boats, and the cost of one was 500 yuan. And those boats and sea ships with more than 1,000 stones are more expensive, and the price is more than 10,000 or even tens of thousands. The boat that Zhang Yingying gave to Li Jing is worth at least 10,000 yuan. It's just that everyone obviously doesn't know what happened between Li Jing and Zhang Yingying, and they all think it's a big gift from the Han family.

Li Jing didn't know how to answer for a while, and after pondering for a while, he said, "This ship was not sent by the Han family." Then he told Han Zhi what he wanted to ask him for help just now, and since he was now in the same boat with Lin Wei and the others, Li Jing didn't hide it from them anymore. After hearing this, several people frowned and thought about it. Lin Wu was the first to say: "I think since the Han family is willing to give this big gift, it will not be good if you don't accept it." We are going to raise soldiers now, and the fourth brother has offered such a high salary, and it is impossible for the feudal government to give us so much food, but we have no other inputs, and the money in our hands is one less than one. If you can accept the money from the Han family, it will be able to support it for at least a year and a half. ”

Zhang Hong also said on the side: "Second Brother Lin is right, a penny is difficult to beat a hero, and you can't support the army without money." Without high wages, who is willing to accompany us to stay in Shamen and drink the sea breeze? Besides, in my opinion, Song Wen asked us to go to Shamen Island, which was originally aimed at Feng Zhang, in this case, why don't we take this opportunity to use the Han family's affairs to pull Cui Gong and King Zhao out and press Cui Zhang once, so that he can know that we are not kneading it, since we have to be right sooner or later, it is better to start early. Even if we can't get rid of Cui Zhang, we have to show our strength. ”

The words of the two are very reasonable, especially Zhang Hong's, although he is not a military general, but he has the demeanor of a dog-headed military advisor, and the questions raised are to the point. went to Shamen Town, Feng Zhang couldn't get around. In addition, money is indeed a big problem, if an ordinary family has a thousand pieces of money, it is enough for a family to live a good life. It can be used to raise soldiers, but thousands of dollars can't last long at all.

Lin Wei is now half of the Li family, and some things are naturally more thoughtful about Li Jing. He hadn't opened his mouth just now because he was thinking more. Clenched his fists, Lin Wei said: "I think I should also accept the gift of the Han family, no matter what, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how bad the Han family is, it is also the third ranked scholar in Ziqing Town." You should still have a good relationship with them, and even if it doesn't work out in the end, then they won't blame you. We take the money to do things, and we are only responsible for the introduction and contact in the middle, and we don't care about the rest. Besides, if this thing is done, it will be a great favor to the Han family, not only the Han family will remember it, but the lady of the Lanling Xiao family will also remember it at that time. Didn't Mingyuan just say that the Han family and the Xiao family have shipyards, and in the future, we will stay on Shamen Island, and there will inevitably be a time to buy and repair ships. ”

"But I already rejected Han Qilang just now, I'm afraid I will change my words now, right?" Li Jing smiled bitterly, he didn't think so far just now, or his creed has always been to do things with money, since he thinks that he may not be able to do things, so he doesn't want to take money. But I didn't think that these good brothers were even better, no matter whether they could do it or not, they would be willing to accept it if they had money.

"Don't worry about this, if you get close to Han Zhi in a while, he will definitely take the opportunity to mention this matter, and then you will pretend to be embarrassed, and then we will persuade you on the side, and you will reluctantly agree after half pushing and half pushing." Zhang Hong quickly thought of a better countermeasure, "Fifteen thousand guan is too little, and Han Zhi will have to give at least twenty thousand guan before agreeing." ”

The sky is getting dark, and the visitors have also paid their respects to Li's mother, and many squires and wealthy businessmen have eaten banquets and have begun to resign and leave. There are too many visitors today, Wang Li Village can't arrange it at all, although it is late, but those people are also riding horses and cars, so they don't plan to trouble Li Jing, and are ready to go to Chishan Town or Silla Di to rest for a night before returning to their homes.

But not long after the first group of people left, they suddenly ran back in a panic, and told Li Jing a very bad news with a dirty face. Not far from Wang Li Village, a large number of displaced people are coming to the village, the number of which is enough for thousands of people, and there are still bandits among the displaced people! Hearing the news, Li Jing didn't have time to determine whether it was just a homeless person or if it was really a homeless person who was coerced by bandits. At the moment, he didn't care about watching the play and drinking anymore, and arranged for those officials and gentry to stay in the village. Then shouted the order, all the young men were on guard, he quickly gathered the subordinates of Zuo Yidu, and climbed the village wall with Lin Wei and others to watch again.
