Chapter 1644: Youthful Ambition

.

Fang Jun looked at the hope on his chubby face and said with a smile, "Let's talk about it."

Di Renjie hesitated for a moment, looked around, and saw no one around, so he whispered: "When the student is qualified to serve as an official, sir, can you tell the staff that the student will go to the Navy?"

This is a blatant backdoor, and naturally he doesn't want others to hear it. Fang Junqi said: "Why is this? With your grades and performance, once you pass the imperial examination, the three provinces and six ministries will rush to get you, Zhongshu Sheren, Huangmen Shilang

It's not impossible to do errands like this, so why go to the navy to have dinner?

The wind drinks the waves, the sun scorches and the wind blows? The waves on the ocean are like mountains. No matter how strong the warship is, it may capsize and kill people. It is not as beautiful as imagined." As the Tang Dynasty navy traveled across the ocean, merchant ships reached as far as the East along the waterways.

, Nanyang, ship after ship of silk, porcelain, glass and other luxury goods were exchanged for ship after ship of gold and silver or cargoes full of rice, countless countries.

People turned their attention to the overseas countries that their ancestors had always looked down upon, and longed for the vast and fertile land. At first, it was only merchants who flocked to it, but as more and more merchants joined the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty, they were victorious in every battle on the ocean.

The arrogant myth spread back to China, and young people full of ambitions and ambitions could not sit still.

Live. Opening up territory and conferring wives and children, this is a brand engraved deep in the bones of the Chinese people. When the army on land goes north to the extremely cold land, even the North Sea is included in the territory, and goes west across Congling and Da

Bordering the food country, heading south

Annan occupied Chenla, and when the land territory was almost impossible to expand, everyone's eyes were naturally fixed on the navy.

The vast ocean is boundless, and foreign countries are dotted around it. Wouldn't it be a good place to make achievements? However, the Navy is different from the Sixteenth Guards Army. The "Royal" sign is actually controlled by Fang Jun, and the execution of the recruitment of troops is carried out.

An extremely strict system, unless you fully meet the requirements and want to rely on your family background to leave the country

The door doesn't work at all.

As a result, the Navy has become a rather mysterious place, but not everyone can go there if they want to... Di Renjie was very excited, without the slightest fear: "A man is born in heaven and earth, how can he be afraid of death and hold back? As long as the charge is there,

On the way to expand territory, what's the fear even if you die in the belly of a fish? Go overseas and see those things

The barbarians from various countries opened up shipping routes for the Tang Dynasty and found a few pieces of land suitable for farming to cultivate more food, so that our people of the Tang Dynasty would no longer be in danger of hunger. This is much better than the three provinces and six tribes that are fighting for their lives!"

Fang Jun seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and was not fooled by him: "When one day I return to the court with my overseas achievements, can I break through the waves and rise to the top?"

"Uh... you always teach us that we should have ideals, right?"

When his thoughts were exposed, Di Renjie was not shy, but faced it calmly, and even used the words Fang Jun once said to embellish his ambition.

Successful people all have advantages of one kind or another, and they are not all the same, but one thing remains the same throughout the ages, that is, they must have a thick skin.

Being shy and embarrassed at all times will definitely not lead to success. Fang Jun smiled and patted Di Renjie on the shoulder, approvingly saying: "Talent alone is not enough. Only with this drive can we strive for the top and make contributions. Okay, I promise you that.

, as long as you pass the imperial examination, come to me

Receive the seal document, and you will be allowed to join the army as an official, and go to the navy to join the army!"

Di Renjie was both happy and worried: "This...student may not be qualified for the job." What he was happy about was that Fang Jun really took a high look at him and became very close to him, and directly promised him an official position of eighth rank. What he was worried about was that even though he was only an eighth-rank official, he joined the army as a recorder.

Pin is not a small official. In the naval structure, there are chief governors, generals, chief historians, Sima, soldiers, generals, generals, captains, etc. arranged in order. Among them, there is one chief governor, two generals, and one chief historian.

, the two Sima soldiers joined the army due to different affiliations, and were subdivided into one person who recorded affairs and participated in the military affairs, and one person who participated in the army of Cang Cao

There are two military officers, two soldiers and military officers, one cavalry officer and one military officer... Among them, the military recorder is not only responsible for the military's official documents and military records, but also has the responsibility of raising good and evil deeds and supervising discipline. He has just entered the official career.

Being entrusted with such an important task, he started out superior to others, and he didn't have to spend ten years honing his qualifications.

But it also carries heavy responsibilities. Once something goes wrong, the official career will almost be cut off.

Fang Jun raised his eyebrows and said excitedly: "You think you can't do it?"

The young man is full of ambition and wants to reach the sky and embrace the moon. How can he be told that he can't do it?! Di Renjie puffed up his chest and said in a sonorous tone: "It can definitely be done! Sir, don't worry, the students will not say nonsense like whether they have betrayed their trust, they will definitely fulfill their duties."

, Dutiful and responsible, the young man holds the Wu hook with one hand, and his ambition is as high as a hundred feet tall building

, who has been writing history for ten thousand years, looking for a feudal lord from three thousand miles away! He will go out and be a general, and he will definitely not embarrass you!"

It is very appropriate to use an inspirational poem by Fang Jun to express his confidence and determination to Fang Jun.

Fang Jun laughed: "You are ambitious! With such high ambition and determination, it is not in vain for me to open a back door for you!"

Di Renjie was so anxious that he looked around furtively, fearing that someone would hear him: "Sir, please lower your voice. If someone hears you, won't the student become a laughing stock and be ridiculed by his classmates in the school?"

Going through the back door is neither easy to say nor easy to hear!

Fang Jun didn't take it seriously: "What's wrong with using the back door? Do you think anyone can use my back door? Uh..."

Halfway through the words, I felt there was some ambiguity. What did I say? "Bah, bah, bah! I mean, only if you let me take a high look and confirm that you have this ability, will I make it easy for you at the critical moment?"

I won’t waste my years just to earn my qualifications, otherwise it will be difficult for anyone to let me open this

Back door! Just do things well and have a clear conscience. Don’t worry about other people’s envy, jealousy, and hatred.”

...Compared to the struggle for power and intrigue in the court, Fang Jun still prefers the rich learning atmosphere in the academy. Whether he is a child of aristocratic family or a lowly family member, he will be infected by this learning atmosphere after entering the academy.

I race against time to acquire all kinds of knowledge, not wanting to be left behind by my classmates who usually live in the same dormitory.

Especially when he stood on the podium and taught knowledge, the eyes of those who were hungry for knowledge made him feel unparalleled satisfaction.

Only at this time did Fang Jun clearly feel that he existed and was integrated into the world instead of being outside the times.

Maybe teaching and educating talents is the best thing for him to do?

In my previous life, I was stuck in the officialdom, either working like a coward or colluding with others. It was really a wasted time.

*****

Dark clouds cover Luzon.

Heavy rain poured down, and the swollen sea water poured into the Pasig River from the bay. The simple embankments built along the river bank were crumbling under the raging waves. The residential buildings behind the embankment were in danger. The warships were floating with the waves outside the turbulent bay, Xi Jun

Buy a pair of big feet and nail them firmly to the deck, put a monocular telescope on your eyes and look out from the cabin. With one eye open and one eye closed, everything will be lost in the vastness.

During the heavy rain, the waves in the bay were turbulent like boiling water, and only the mountains in the distance were vaguely visible, which seemed to be both illusion and reality. On the table behind him, a small stove was burning brightly, with a copper basin placed on it, and Yang Zhou sat on it.

I picked up a handful of bean sprouts next to the table, put them on a plate, dipped them in the sauce, and put them into my mouth. I exhaled when they were very hot, chewed them for a few times, swallowed them, and took a sip.

After buying the wine, he glanced at Xi Jun and said, "I can't get enough of this. Could it be that I fell in love with this ghost place? It's not difficult. It's not difficult to go back and write a letter to the commander-in-chief to appoint a governor of Luzon.

Xi Junmai put down the telescope, closed the window, returned to the table, sat down, took a sip of wine, shook his head and said: "The commander-in-chief has long planned for Luzon, Java and other places. He will only take the land without moving a single person. The Tang Dynasty

Although it is a vast territory, it is extremely short of flat and fertile land. After the development of the two lakes in Liaodong is completed, I don’t know if it will take dozens or even hundreds of years. Now we must expand outward as much as possible to occupy cultivated land in order to obtain enough food to supply the growth of the population. However, the land of Luzon

distance

The mainland is too far away and the sea route is long. If we want support, it will take a month to arrive, so we don’t plan to immigrate to Luzon. The so-called governor is naturally out of the question.” Although the Tang Dynasty seemed to have a vast land and abundant resources, it was actually more mountainous than plain.

, the land suitable for food cultivation is really pitiful compared to the tens of millions of people, otherwise there would not be countless people affected every time a natural disaster occurs.

They were displaced and starved to death in the wild. At first, according to Fang Jun’s plan, he spent money to buy grain in Dongyang, Nanyang and other places, and used ships to transport it back to Datang by sea. But after three or two years, this plan became passive, because whether it was Dongyang or Nanyang,

Although there are abundant

Rain, fertile soil, large plains, but the local indigenous people are too lazy.

Generally, when describing fertile soil, it is said that "the seeds will be harvested three times a year without care", but the indigenous people in Champa, Luzon, and Java really do that...

The indigenous people were lazy and did not engage in farming, resulting in extremely unstable food production, and there were frequent gaps in the food supply of the Tang Dynasty.

In this case, we can only find ways to occupy land, immigrate, or hire local indigenous people to cultivate the land. However, these policies are also adapted to local conditions and are not static. For example, Champa, Annan and other places transferred disaster victims from the country to plant rice, while Lu

Song Dynasty, Java and other places hired more local indigenous people to guard against the greedy slaughter of the indigenous people.

The tragedy that killed the people of Tang Dynasty happened...

Yang Zhou scooped up the bean sprouts in the copper basin, drained the wine in the wine glass, burped comfortably, and asked casually: "How many people do you plan to kill this time, and how much land do you plan to gather?"

It would obviously not be a trivial matter for the two naval adjutants to lead dozens of ships and thousands of soldiers across the ocean to Luzon. Luzon is mountainous, but from Manila to the north to Lingayen Bay

The narrow strip of land in between is flat and fertile, with dense rivers and a lot of fertile land, most suitable for growing rice. However, the hired local indigenous people are still lazy.

Lazy and bad habits, relying on the strength of the crowd to cause a little bit of laziness from time to time, seriously affecting the rice production. This cannot be tolerated, and a group of chickens must be killed to scare the monkeys.

After finishing all the fishing, he put down his chopsticks angrily: "The goal this time is not land. Our exploration team discovered a gold mine in the northeastern mountainous area of ​​Lingayen Bay. The reserves are not small, so

This mission is to create a conflict, land directly in Manila, and force the chief of Luzon to allow us to build a port in Lingayen Bay and lease the surrounding mountains."

"Did you find gold again?"

Yang Zhou's eyes were bright. He knew that the Navy had an "exploration team" that directly belonged to Su Dingfang, but in fact was completely under the orders of Fang Jun. This group of people was running around all over the world, exploring for mineral deposits. Once discovered, the Navy would immediately

Then he started to take action and did whatever he wanted

Either by occupying or leasing, the mineral land must be taken as one's own and then exploited on a large scale.

According to common sense, most of those mineral deposits are buried deep underground and are extremely difficult to explore. Otherwise, how could the local indigenous people let it go? However, the amazing thing is that gold, silver or copper mines are discovered every now and then, and these mineral deposits are distributed throughout the country.

All over the East and Southeast Asia, it's like they have a "heavenly book" in their hands, which records the location of those mineral deposits in detail. You can find it if you go there...
