After a long talk with Jia Yao, Yun Zheng made a decision in his heart.
He doesn't want Jia Yao's life for the time being.
Jia Yao's greatest advantage is that her vision is longer-term than that of other people in Beihuan. Moreover, she has the people of Beihuan in her heart and is unwilling to use them as cannon fodder.
As long as she doesn't cause any trouble, Beihuan will bring more benefits to Dagan.
But if she did something weird, he would really have to use those cruel methods.
Although Jia Yao's matter was settled, Yun Zheng's fantasy of a life of extravagance and extravagance did not come true.
Even with Ye Zi and others helping to handle government affairs, he was always asked to deal with all kinds of matters, and he had to make decisions on many things. Yun Zheng even wanted to send people to the imperial city to kidnap a few capable officials and bring them to Shuobei.
Yun Zheng also did not miss the opportunity to go out to sea.
However, before going out to sea, you must first build a port.
As for the ship, Yun Zheng does not plan to build one himself for the time being. On the one hand, there are too few craftsmen in Shuobei who can build ships, and on the other hand, it takes too long to build a ship.
...
...
During this time, we sent people to Yizhou, Yuzhou and other places to purchase large merchant ships.
First bring back the high-yield crops, and then think about building large warships and the like.
Yun Zheng still planned to let Zhang Xu handle this matter after he returned.
After lunch, Yun Zheng was just about to take a break and chat about some romantic things with his woman when Xin Sheng came to report that Zhang Xu had already rushed back from the hill.
have to!
Yun Zheng shrugged, his wonderful lunch break was ruined again.
Soon, Yun Zheng saw Zhang Xu and Mingyue who had rushed back exhausted.
The two of them used to have a lot of trouble, but now they are very affectionate.
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
The two of them bowed as soon as they saw Yun Zheng.
"That's enough. That's enough."
Yun Zheng waved his hand and said, "Mingyue, go find your senior sister. Zhang Xu and I will go to the backyard for a walk."
"Um."
Mingyue nodded happily and immediately ran to find Miaoyin.
As Yun Zheng led Zhang Xu to the backyard, he asked, "Have you finished the workshop?"
“It’s done!”
Zhang Xu nodded and smiled, "The workshop that makes honeycomb coal is near the kiln factory. The kiln factory also needs a lot of mud and peat anyway, so there is no need to bother with this! By the way, I also made the thing that Your Highness mentioned."
“So soon?”
Yun Zheng was surprised.
This guy's hands-on ability is really strong!
“That’s actually very simple!”
Zhang Xu looked proud. "However, I am only making it with wood now, and I think it is not very durable. I have asked someone to send the sample to the forging workshop. I will show it to Your Highness when I make an iron one..."
"sharp!"
Yun Zheng gave Zhang Xu a thumbs up, expressing his sincere admiration.
In the eyes of others, Zhang Xu may be not doing his job properly.
But in his eyes, Zhang Xu is a genius!
Zhang Xu played a vital role in defeating Beihuan.
Without the God of Wealth to help make money, how could there be so much military expenditure!
In the future, Zhang Xu might even be called the father of industry in Shuobei!
Well, I have to get an official position for Zhang Xu later.
It should sound high-end and intimidating.
The grade must also be high.
He also didn't need Zhang Xu to handle government affairs.
It is not easy for Zhang Xu to manage this mess.
In this way, it will be more convenient for Zhang Xu to deal with people in the future.
Zhang Xu chuckled, "It's all thanks to your Highness. I'm just a handyman."
"Stop flattering me!"
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Let's talk business first!"
As he spoke, Yun Zheng and Zhang Xu found a place to sit down in the backyard and talked to him about purchasing the merchant ship.
Yun Zheng didn’t have any specific requirements, but he just wanted it to be big and able to withstand the wind and waves!
If possible, it is best to buy three.
After all, we are going to the open sea, so we must bring more people with us.
Otherwise, as soon as you arrive, you might be killed by the local natives.
He had already written a memorial and was planning to ask Emperor Wen to send him naval personnel and warships.
Anyway, Da Gan doesn't attach much importance to the navy, so it can still play a role here.
However, he didn't know whether Emperor Wen would be so generous.
Therefore, it would be best if Zhang Xu could buy warships from the navy.
Of course, this is just a bold idea and not a requirement.
"I'm afraid the warship is a bit difficult?"
Zhang Xu touched his chin and said, "If we go to buy warships from the navy, His Majesty will punish us if he finds out, right?"
That's a warship!
This isn't something that anyone can buy if they want!
"Don't worry about whether you smoke or not."
Yun Zheng smiled indifferently, "Anyway, our navy is a stepmother's child, maybe someone dares to sell warships privately? If there is a chance, you can tell them that if they drive the navy's warships directly to Shuobei, the military pay will be doubled, and everyone from ordinary soldiers to generals will be rewarded handsomely!"
After listening to Yun Zheng's words, Zhang Xu's face suddenly turned black.
Your Highness the Sixth Prince is really bold!
Still want to steal his father's woman?
Isn't he afraid that his father will come to Shuobei to beat him up again?
Zhang Xu thought for a moment, frowned and said, "Those people have families. I guess it's unlikely that they would come directly to Your Highness in a warship..."
“They can bring their families along!”
Yun Zheng smiled, "Anyway, that's the idea. If it works, it's fine. If not, forget it! I didn't have much hope in the first place! Besides, we can recruit craftsmen from the shipbuilding association. The treatment will definitely be much better than what they have now."
"Okay, I know what's going on!"
Zhang Xu agreed readily and was about to say something, but suddenly stopped.
Seeing Zhang Xu's hesitation, Yun Zheng couldn't help but feel curious, "Just say whatever you want to say! Why are you hesitating?"
Zhang Xu hesitated for a moment, then said embarrassedly: "Your Highness, those big merchants I know all know that I have a good relationship with you. Some time ago, someone came to me and wanted me to help his son find a job in Shuobei. I was impulsive at the time and wanted to show off in front of others, so I agreed..."
Seeking an official position?
Yun Zheng's heart moved.
Suddenly, Yun Zheng seemed to have grasped something and tried hard to catch the flash of inspiration in his mind.
Seeing Yun Zheng's expression was not right, Zhang Xu panicked and quickly explained: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will never take the benefits from that man. He wanted to give me 30,000 taels of silver, but I don't have even a tael of silver..."
"Ha ha……"
Yun Zheng's sudden laughter interrupted Zhang Xu's words.
Zhang Xu's voice suddenly stopped and he looked at Yun Zheng in confusion.
Why is Your Highness laughing again?
Wasn't he angry just now?
Just when Zhang Xu was confused, Yun Zheng's claws slapped Zhang Xu's shoulder heavily.
"You are such a lucky guy!"
Yun Zheng laughed continuously, showing no sign of anger at all.
"Fu... General Fu?"
Zhang Xu widened his eyes in shock and looked at Yun Zheng with confusion.
How did I become a lucky man again?
What does this have to do with Fu Jiang?
Zhang Xu was even wondering if Yun Zheng was going to give him credit again.
However, Yun Zheng is now the governor of Shuobei, and he appoints all officials himself. There is no need to give himself credit, right?
"You helped me solve a problem that has been bothering me for days!"
Yun Zheng laughed, "If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have thought of this idea!"
"ah?"
Zhang Xu was puzzled. "What's the problem? What's the solution?"
I don't understand a word he says!
"I'll tell you more later!"
Yun Zheng was in a good mood and stood up immediately, "Come here! Ask Madam Zi and several stewards of the palace to come to the backyard, and ask my mother-in-law to come as well!"
