Chapter 456 Construction of the Navy

Lin Cunde had been sitting there for almost two-quarters of an hour. The old man was sleeping lightly. When he opened his eyes, he found Lin Cunde sitting there making tea!

Grandpa Yang couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you here, Master?"

As he sat up, Lin Cunde immediately went over to support him and said reproachfully: "I feel something is wrong. When I come back, you show up. I want to go over and talk to you. You wave to me, I At first I thought it was nothing, but when I packed up my things and went to look for you, I found that you had gone back!
You didn’t come to the house the day before yesterday or yesterday!
I feel uneasy because I came here early this morning! "

"It's an old problem, it's not a serious illness. These two legs are no longer working. I want to go to your place, Master. I can't walk, and I can't go far. Master, my only thought now is to take the master back. The master is back. , the old slave feels at ease! My eldest, second, and third children all hope that I can return to my hometown, especially the eldest brother, who wrote a letter, hoping that I can go back to my hometown for retirement!
I won’t go back, and I won’t leave the country. I’m here, and Master, you can’t live without my stuttering!
I just thought that when the old slave dies, he will be buried next to the master and his wife, and continue to serve the master and his wife underground!
However, the old slave still needs to hold on until the master comes back, and until the next generation of the young master comes out, so that when the old slave goes down, he can report to the master and his wife! "Grandpa Yang said with a smile!

"Why are you talking about this? You are not going to die. I will arrange for someone to bring you food in a few days. Drink more milk. I guess you are always lacking in calcium!" Lin Cunde sat there and said with a smile!

"What's missing? Calcium, what is calcium?" Grandpa Yang looked at Lin Cunde in confusion and asked!
"You don't care what it is, just eat it if it's given to you. I haven't seen you in the past two days, and I feel uneasy! Anyway, you are always walking around in front of me, so I feel relieved and feel at ease. Otherwise, I feel uneasy. It's just empty! Even though I have a wife now, a concubine, and even a son in the future, I just don't feel at ease without you around!" Lin Cunde said to Grandpa Yang!
"No way? Young master, you are afraid that you will no longer have acquaintances around you. But now, you have a wife, and your father-in-law is also good to you. They are already married, so don't act like a child!" Grandpa Yang smiled and waved his hand to persuade. Lin Cunde said.

"Well, I don't care!" Lin Cunde said with a smile, and then started making tea!
Grandpa Yang basically doesn’t drink tea, he doesn’t have this habit!

Lin Cunde wouldn't pour him tea, he just drank it himself!

"You will eat here at noon, and I will cook your favorite dishes?" Grandpa Yang asked, looking at Lin Cunde with a smile.

"Can you still do it? Both legs have no strength, how can you still cook?" Lin Cunde asked with a smile!

"I have no strength, I can't walk far, and it's not that I can't stand. Besides, let my second son's family do it! We will eat here at noon. Can we have some drinks?" Grandpa Yang asked with a smile!

"Okay!" Lin Cunde nodded with a smile!

"Okay, let's have some drinks!" Lin Cunde nodded happily!

When Yang Ergou's wife heard that Lin Cunde was going to have dinner at home, she was extremely happy. Ordinary people want to invite Lin Cunde to dinner? He really didn't have the qualifications. How many generals and ministers wanted to invite Lin Cunde to dinner, but Lin Cunde ignored them. Now that Lin Cunde is having dinner at home, it is also an honor for their family!

At this moment, the voices inside were probably heard outside, so the Yang Ergou family dared to open the door, holding snacks and food in their hands, and said to Lin Cunde with a smile: "Master Hou, eat something!"

Of course, Yang Ergou’s wife also knows that all of this depends on Grandpa Yang!
Grandpa Yang has a transcendent status in the Marquis' Mansion, so he is a servant, right? Lin Cunde didn't regard him as a human being at all, but as a relative!
Tell me if he is a servant? He has always called himself an old slave, and he will rush to do whatever Grandpa Yang can do in the house!
But if anyone deliberately fails to do things well, or is lazy, Grandpa Yang will scold them!

"From the second son's house, you go and get some dishes. The Marquis will have dinner at home at noon. In addition, I will prepare some dishes later. You may not be able to cook some of the dishes, and the taste may not be suitable for the young master. !" Grandpa Yang said to Yang Ergou's wife!

Grandpa Yang is in trouble, and no one in the mansion dares to persuade him!
Basically, even Lin Cunyi didn’t dare to persuade him!
Otherwise, Lin Cunyi will be scolded!

Moreover, Lin Cunyi has also been scolded for not doing good things several times. Grandpa Yang scolded him the same way, so Lin Cunyi still needs to listen honestly!

Every time Lin Cunde's grandfather comes, Grandpa Yang will go over to make amends. The two of them, like old brothers, are together every day!
Moreover, Lin Cunde's uncles came over and respected Grandpa Yang very much!
At noon, Yang Ergou's daughter-in-law and Yang Sanxi's daughter-in-law prepared the meal and brought it to the dining room, where only Lin Cunde and Grandpa Yang ate!
Lin Cunde poured wine for Grandpa Yang, and then poured some himself!
The two of them just sat there drinking and eating, and they lasted an hour!
Grandpa Yang was a little drunk. Lin Cunde helped Grandpa Yang go to the bedroom to rest. He was still in the same bedroom as before! After Lin Cunde helped him rest, he covered him with a quilt. The servant next to him was also burning the stove to make Grandpa Yang's bedroom warmer!
Lin Cunde then left the old house and returned to the mansion!

As soon as I got home, I saw Wang Ying, Guo Sheng, Gu Jing and others in the house!
"How's Mr. Yang?" Wang Ying asked immediately after seeing Lin Cunde back!
"He has an old problem. His legs are weak and he can't walk that far. He is not willing to live in the house. He would rather go to the old house to live. So at noon, I drank with Grandpa Yang at the old house. Let's have a drink. We haven't had a drink in several years. When we were young, Grandpa Yang wouldn't let us drink. Now that we have many things to do and we are not in the capital, we have even fewer opportunities to drink!" Lin Cunde said with a wry smile,
At the same time, he said to them: "Let's go to the study and talk!"

He said and led them to the study!

"You are such a thoughtful kid, you are so filial to a servant!" Guo Sheng said with great envy!

"Hey, without Grandpa Yang? Can I still live? Besides, Grandpa Yang has taken care of me since I was a child. They say they are servants, but they are actually family members. After my parents left, I became seriously ill for more than a month and almost didn't survive. Come here, it’s all thanks to Grandpa Yang to take good care of me. Now I just go over and have a drink with him. What kind of filial piety? Just wait, Grandpa Yang won't let you!" Lin Cunde said with a wry smile!
"That's pretty good. Many sons nowadays can't do this, like you!" Gu Jing also gave Lin Cunde a thumbs up and said!

"We can't talk about it!" Lin Cunde continued to wave his hands and said. After arriving in the study, Lin Cunde asked them to sit down!
When they came today, Lin Cunde actually knew something. There were two main things. One was how to write the plans for the next five years and one year of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. The second was when to launch an attack on the Japanese country. We need to use those troops and mobilize those generals!

This is what they care about most!
But with Lin Cunde here, they don't have to worry. Lin Cunde will definitely plan all those things!
Although the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army and the Ministry of War have great power, Zhu Qiyu is willing to listen to Lin Cunde. Moreover, Lin Cunde, as the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, manages the Ming Dynasty's ocean-going navy!
If you want to conquer Japan, you can't do it without ocean-going navy!
Now that the Ming Dynasty has established a port in Liaodong Town, the Japanese country is still harassing them at this time. The Ming Dynasty dispatched warships to the Joseon Dynasty to deal with the Japanese country!

However, this time, Xu Xianyong and the others can't continue on. Other nobles also want to make meritorious service, so those who have never been on the battlefield before need to go!
Therefore, Guo Sheng and the others came here for this matter. If the merits are accumulated, it is not impossible to be granted the title of Duke!
However, everyone knows that if the Japanese country is destroyed, Lin Cunde will definitely be made a Duke!
But other people are also possible, and the other thing is how the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion writes a plan for the next five years!

On this point, they need to come and ask Lin Cunde!

"Come, drink tea!" After the tea was brewed, Lin Cunde began to pour tea for them!

Guo Sheng and the others took a sip and put down their teacups. Lin Cunde refilled the cups for him. Guo Sheng looked at Lin Cunde and asked, "Does the Navy need to expand?"

"Yes!" Lin Cunde nodded!

Now in Luanzhou, the ocean-going navy only has two commanders, and I am only ten thousand people in total!

The ocean-going navy requires at least 50,000 people, so it also needs the strength of eight guard posts!
But these armies do not need to be completely transformed, but need to be recruited!
"Do you have any plans for this? What kind of defense station will be transformed into a navy army? Our Ming Dynasty has five governor's offices, plus His Majesty's personal guards. You need to take care of each governor's office, right? I can't say, I can only Switching from one or two governor's offices is not possible!" Guo Sheng looked at Lin Cunde and asked!
After hearing this, Lin Cunde smiled, then waved his hand and said: "It is impossible for the entire guard station to be converted. In this case, the Ming Dynasty Navy cannot be formed. I have already written a memorial to His Majesty on how to operate it, and His Majesty also approved it. , next year, I will first recruit 10,000 people at the Rear Army Governor's Mansion. Note, it is recruitment, including officers and soldiers. Anyone can sign up. The salary of soldiers is set at 40 taels a year!

An officer's salary needs to be paid twice as much as the Lian Yang Lian Silver according to rank every year!
The navy of the Ming Dynasty spent most of their time at sea. They were lonely and faced great risks. They were also the pioneers of the Ming Dynasty in expanding its territory in the future. Therefore, their salaries should be high, and if they encountered risks, they might not be alive. , therefore, their salary is the highest!

Our Ming Dynasty will maintain a navy army of 50,000 people. In terms of salary, it will exceed 2.5 million taels of silver in one year! Your Majesty also approved this!
Therefore, if you say you want me to change the organizational structure, that won't work. Navy officers and soldiers need to be familiar with water properties and be able to ride rough seas. This requires testing. Only those who pass the test can be recruited!

Moreover, if you can read and understand the ocean, ocean currents, and monsoons, priority will be given to recruiting!

We can train other skills, but those who can adapt to the rough seas really need to be screened, otherwise, you will suffer. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Xiaozhi how many times Xiaozhi vomited gall in order to get on the ship. They all spat it out! "
