Chapter 202: Xiao Fengxue was promoted in reverse, and Liu Bowen was forced to start business

"Master Yao is really a great talent. I didn't expect this and almost missed the important event between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the British Duke."

After hearing Yao Guangxiao's explanation, Shan Anren couldn't help being surprised and said immediately.

"where."

"Master Shan has never presided over the construction of something like a blast furnace before. It is normal that it is difficult to adapt."

"Xiaguan was so blessed that he suddenly thought of this."

Yao Guangxiao smiled.

"Master Yao is humble."

"With Master Yao's ability, this hydraulic blast furnace iron plant is in your hands. I'm afraid it will be operational and profitable very soon."

"When Lord Yao starts building a new hydraulic blast furnace ironworks and moves the government office back to Tianfu, he will be the celebrity next to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the British Duke. It can be said that he will reach the sky in one step."

"I hope you won't forget to support me when the time comes."

Shan Anren bowed his hands to Yao Guangxiao.

"Master Shan is joking."

"Master Shan is a minister, and he is a highly respected minister. I still have many things to ask Master Shan."

Yao Guangxiao said to Shan Anren.

"Hey~, there is no priority in learning, the master is the teacher."

"Shan is very clear about his own weight, and his life will just stop here."

"Master Yao really has an unlimited future."

Shan Anren said with a smile.

At first, Shan Anren was still dissatisfied with Xiao Han's sending Yao Guangxiao here.

He is just a young monk. Is it possible that he can really be proficient in technology and operations?

Isn't His Royal Highness simply placing his cronies in important positions?

Unexpectedly, Yao Guangxiao taught Shan Anren a lesson as soon as he arrived.

This is more effective than any kind of power. Shan Anren immediately understood that Yao Guangxiao's ability was probably much stronger than he thought. No wonder he could be appreciated by the British prince.

British government.

"Fengxue, how are your preparations over there?"

Zhu Biao asked Xiao Han.

"The merchant ship is already in Panyu and ready to depart."

"And it is also equipped with a fleet of sixteen battleships equipped with sixteen cannons at the front and rear. It can roam the sea if you think about it."

Xiao Han said.

"Ah."

"it is good!"

"Over in the north, the people I arranged have successfully obtained a large number of weapons and equipment from Can Yuan."

"It's just that, in order not to appear too obvious, we only purchased the quantity needed to go out to sea this time. I think it has already come down the canal by now."

"Next, we can take the land route or go to the shore from the sea, and then we can send the goods to Panyu and officially go out to sea."

Zhu Biao said to Xiao Han.

"Ah."

"This is a transportation problem. Maybe we should find a way to extend the canal to Panyu so that we can carry out our southern strategy."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"You really dare to think."

"This is such a big project, but don't let our Ming Dynasty waste it by then."

Zhu Biao's mouth twitched.

"Hey, that's all I said, don't take it seriously."

"Otherwise, I would have to stop you if you wanted to practice it."

"After all, this thing is not easy to repair. With the current national strength of our Ming Dynasty, it is really not easy to support it."

Xiao Han chuckled.

"call!"

"Scared me."

"Then do you think the goods we transport back from the north should leave the Yangtze River and continue on the waterway, or go ashore and take the land route?"

Zhu Biao asked Xiao Han.

"If it were me, I'd still recommend taking the water route. After all, it's faster. It doesn't take a long way, but it's very convenient to change boats directly on the coast."

"Then we will go all the way to Panyu and make additional corrections. Well, yes, we have to give instructions to Liu Bowen on this matter."

"This guy has been very idle since the Lingnan land reclamation. It's time for him to get busy."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"It makes sense. He will be responsible for the disguise and sailing of the fleet. I think it should be foolproof."

"Just wait, I will write an edict to him right away."

Zhu Biao smiled.

and Lincheng.

The Imperial Study Room of Beiyuan Palace.

"My dear, since we opened the sale of weapons to Zhu Ming, I found that there are actually merchants in Zhu Ming who are buying the weapons sold by our Da Yuan ministries."

"And the quantity is quite large. Do you think there might be any problems here?"

Emperor Xuanguang frowned and said to Wang Baobao.

"His Majesty."

"Wei Chen thinks that these Zhu Ming merchants wanted to enhance the strength of their bodyguard team, so they all chose to buy my Dayuan's weapons."

"After all, although Zhu Ming did not sell Fengdi like the Qin Emperor in the past, it is certain to restrict civilian weapons. Therefore, those caravans who want to purchase weapons on a large scale can only choose me, Dayuan."

Wang Baobao said.

"Oh?"

"So, by allowing me, Dayuan, to sell weapons to Zhu Ming, I actually weakened Zhu Ming in disguise and increased Zhu Ming's internal instability?"

Emperor Xuanguang asked.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Weichen thought that was the case."

"That's why Wei Chen, while raising restrictions on cattle, sheep and horses, did not cancel the ban on arms sales."

"After all, this is also a reasonable opportunity for us."

Wang Baobao said respectfully.

"Hahaha!"

"With such a wonderful man like King Qi helping me, I think it won't be long before my Dayuan cavalry can drink from the Yellow River again."

Emperor Xuanguang laughed loudly.

Panyu City. The chief envoy is the Yamen.

"Ok!"

Liu Xiang looked at the edict sent by Zhu Biao and couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.

Originally, for this kind of job, Liu Bowen would definitely not be willing to take it because of his character of being wise and protective.

He, Liu Xiang, was not a naval general at this age, so why would he be assigned this job?

However, Zhu Biao's edict has been sent over. This thing with the jade seal is an imperial edict. Even if Liu Xiang wants to refuse, he can't.

"Is the caravan guard commander Yu Tongyuan?"

"It's quite good to cooperate with him. There is indeed a chance of doing this."

"The businessman in charge, Wang Jing, was responsible for the siege of Wanshan in Lancang. He immediately made the decision to change direction after arriving on the road. Unfortunately, he was a step too late."

"These two are pretty good, they don't seem to need me to do anything, right?"

Liu Xiang was a little confused and frowned slightly.

"Sir, the merchant Wang Jing has arrived and is asking to see him outside the house. Do you want to see him?"

One of his subordinates said to Liu Xiang.

"please."

Liu Xiang waved his sleeves and said.

"Master Liu, I have long admired your name."

Wang Jing bowed respectfully to Prime Minister Liu.

"Mr. Wang, you're welcome."

"You are the British Duke's right-hand man. The British Duke can entrust you with such an important task."

"I'm afraid that as long as you take the Ming Dynasty Economics exam, it won't be difficult to win three yuan in a row and rise to prominence. By then, standing in the court will be much better than me, an idler on the border."

Liu Xiang returned the greeting.

"Haha."

"I don't want to take the imperial examination. I still prefer doing business. Being an official in the court is too stressful. It's better to do business with the British public. I can make money happily every day."

Wang Jing laughed.

"I don't know, sir, but the Duke has already arranged for me to be the person in charge of the caravan and the accompanying escort. Why does His Highness the Crown Prince still issue an edict asking you to cooperate?"

Wang Jing turned to face Liu Xiang with a serious expression.

"I want to come..."

"Let me handle some official matters, such as getting some official documents."

Liu Xiang said.

"Indeed, our ship needs to go all the way to the Bago Dynasty, and official documents are definitely indispensable."

Wang Jing said to Liu Xiang.

"Bago..."

"His Royal Highness the British Duke and His Highness the Crown Prince are asking me to turn you into a caravan in Panyu?"

Liu Xiang said suddenly.

"As expected of Mr. Liu, he is very powerful. You guessed it before I even said it."

"Yes, our caravan is actually carrying out His Royal Highness's plan to export weapons to Bago in the name of the Mongolian Yuan."

"I need to trouble Mr. Liu to worry more about this matter."

Wang Jing raised his hand to Liu Xiang.

"No trouble."

"Ugh."

"But for a fleet as big as yours, it's not easy to change the identity of a Panyu ship from Panyu to a Mongolian and Yuan ship."

Liu Xiang sighed.

"That's why I said trouble."

"Oh, right."

"His Royal Highness asked a commoner to give you a message. It's a bit strange. We don't know what it means."

Wang Jing said.

"What did His Highness say?"

Liu Xiang was a little curious.

"His Royal Highness said that you have outstanding abilities, but you may not be suitable for this kind of job of washing people's hands."

"If you are not qualified, you should be promoted to Tianfu."

"Do you think it's strange that His Highness actually said that if you don't do well, you will be promoted? This is unreasonable."

Wang Jing was a little confused.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Sir, please also send a message to me. I will definitely handle this matter for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the British Duke."

Liu Xiang spoke and assured.

Threat!

A naked threat!

Yingtian Mansion was full of civil and military officials. Who didn't know him, Liu Bowen, who really had status and status?

If he really returned to Yingtian Mansion, where would he still be alive?

Of course, based on Liu's understanding of Xiao Han, he knew that this was what Xiao Han said.

Even if he really didn't do it well, he wouldn't really throw him into a dead end.

However, this kind of rhetoric does express the importance Xiao Han attaches to this matter, allowing Liu Xiang to consider the matter on his own.

If you want to continue to work without contributing, it will definitely not work at the level of an ordinary magistrate.

After all, Xiao Han does not forget to commit suicide, but there is no way to punish him.

With Xiao Han's methods and wisdom, if you want to deal with him from Jinling City, don't be too easy.

"In this case, the common people will not disturb your office, and I hope you can move faster. After all, the fleet has passed through the canal, and it will only take a few days to reach Panyu after changing sea ships."

Wang Jing said to Liu Xiang and left the Chief Envoy Si Yamen.

"Ugh!"

"It seems like it's really hard work."

"Your Highness really posed a difficult problem for me."

Liu Xiang shook his head helplessly.

This matter, even if he had to do it personally, would not be easy.

After all, Panyu is located in the south of Lingnan, and Can Yuan has been beaten back to Mobei. Merchant ships from Mobei will hardly appear here.

If such a large Mobei fleet was created out of thin air, it would be impossible to justify.
