In a wine shop in Haijin Town, Li Zheng happily nodded along with the drinking guests around him.
"Hey, Mr. Li is going fishing again!"
"Being idle is also idle. If you don't go fishing and do nothing, your body will get sick easily!"
Li Zheng, carrying the fishing rod, cheerfully responded to everyone who asked hello, as if he was as kind as an ordinary old fisherman.
Walking to the simple counter of the wine shop, Li Zheng looked at the boss who was serving drinks and patted the table: "Brother Hai, the old rule is to fill a pound of wine and two ounces of dried fish!"
"Okay, Mr. Li, please wait a moment!"
After a while, there were two things that Li Zheng wanted on the counter. The manager hurriedly went up to bring the wine, but Li Zheng pulled him aside: "I'll do it myself, I'm used to it!"
The chief steward wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded in embarrassment: "Yes, yes!"
"Master Li, wait a moment!"
Li Zheng turned around and looked at the wine shop owner: "Brother Hai, what's wrong?"
Brother Hai walked out with a cloth bag, and the chief manager immediately stared at Brother Hai cautiously with a stern look on his face!
The wine shop suddenly fell into a freezing cold state, as if a tiger was staring at him from the side.
Many guests' hands holding the wine bowls could not help but tremble. This feeling of chilling in their hearts was so shocking.
"Um!"
Li Zheng snorted softly, and the icy cold aura that preyed on others disappeared in an instant! The chief manager stood aside obediently and nodded, and the guests thought that the cold feeling all over their bodies at that moment was just an illusion.
Perhaps Li Zheng was blocking Hai, but Brother Hai didn't feel anything. He smiled and handed the cloth bag to Li Zheng: "Brother's new sea fishing bait, you can try it and see if it works!"
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Hai. If it's useful, I'll come and get it from you!"
"You're welcome, walk slowly!"
The waves crash against the sand and exposed rocks on the beach.
There are five to six thousand people working hard in the docks on the seaside.
It turns out that there are countless houses outside Haijin Town, and pieces of fine wood are being moved in and out by craftsmen. The dock is in full swing.
The chief executive looked at the huge ship under his feet in astonishment. He couldn't believe it was a ship. It would be an exaggeration to say it was an island on the sea.
If Young Master Liu were here, he would definitely shout out that the Tianyuan treasure ship, although there are some slight differences, is the real Tianyuan treasure ship.
"Master, is this really a ship? It's much bigger than a palace!"
Li Zheng was carrying a fishing rod and holding a wine bottle in his hand, standing on the board of the ship and drinking a drink: "Shocking, isn't it? The foundation of Dalong's Maritime Silk Road will be laid here. I'm old and can't wait much longer.
The move to pacify Northern Xinjiang and sail to the West must be a two-pronged approach. There have been kings on land since ancient times, but besides me, how many kings are there on the sea?"
Li Zheng's healthy complexion, blown by the sea breeze, was no longer as moist as before, but his imperial domineering look at that moment was no different from before.
"Maritime Silk Road?"
Looking at the chief manager's confused eyes, Li Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "I don't understand either, I just said what Liu Xiaozi said casually!"
"Yes, I understand!"
"In addition to the treasure ship at my feet, there are a total of 620 ships in the dock, both large and small. All the skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the world are here. When there are enough 1,000 ships, it will be the Great Dragon.
When we set sail and go to the sea! I won’t be willing not to take a look on the other side of the ocean to see if there is anyone there. No one can say whether there is anyone or not. I want Dalong’s ship to be seen with my own eyes by the son of the Han family.
Take a look, and seeing is believing!”
"Your Majesty is eternal!"
"You're here in person. Something must have happened in the capital. Let's go. Don't rush anything. Let's talk while fishing!"
"yes!"
Following the quiet sound of beating, a small or large ship was paddled by Li Zheng himself and sailed into the sea. At the same time, many ships also left the dock and dispersed.
Li Zhengduan was sitting on the bow of the boat, motionless with a fishing rod in his hand: "Old Zhou, after staying in Haijin Town for a long time, I suddenly felt that my life as an emperor was nothing more than this. How could I be so carefree!"
"Your Majesty, please don't say this, the dragon can't live without you!"
"Speak softly, don't scare away my fish!"
"Yes, Your Majesty doesn't know something."
Lao Zhou told Li Zheng everything about the capital and northern Xinjiang, including the incident of Young Master Liu breaking into the palace.
Li Zheng stared at the sea without saying a word, and the chief steward also sat quietly in the cabin and waited silently.
He thought that Li Zheng was thinking about the invasion of the Western Regions, but he never thought that Li Zheng suddenly burst into laughter and suddenly lifted the fishing rod in his hand. A sea fish weighing three to four kilograms was put into the fish basket by Li Zheng with the hook in his mouth.
.
"It seems like there is fresh fish soup to drink today. This girl, Pearl, is good at everything, but her behavior is a bit too tough. I really can't stand it!"
"Forehead"
The chief steward looked at Li Zheng speechlessly, My Majesty, Northern Xinjiang is in a hurry, why do you still care about whether the fish soup tastes good or not?
"The prince has done a good job in handling this matter. He finally has a hint of the prince's demeanor. If I can't even deal with this little trouble, I really plan to abolish the crown prince's order. Fortunately, I am not disappointed!"
Li Zheng calmly threw the fishhook into the sea again, his eyes silently staring at the sea.
"Your Majesty, this matter is the intention of Mr. Liu and General Yiqian!"
Li Zheng inserted the fishing rod into the buckle on the side and stood at the bow of the boat and stretched.
"Does it matter who solves the problem? Chanaya said, being able to use people is also a skill. Even if a king is knowledgeable about heaven and man, managing a huge country is not the ability of a monarch alone. As long as the monarch uses people well, he will be his greatest
Duty!"
The general manager nodded understandingly: "I am confused, so I naturally don't understand your majesty's foresight. As long as your majesty is at ease, I will feel at ease!"
Li Zheng took a sip of wine and scratched his bare chest in a graceless manner. The chief manager frowned at this.
What has your Majesty gone through in the past six months? How did the king of a country become like a ruffian?
"Oh, the regent's imperial edict has finally been used. Old Zhou, can you believe it? In his heart, Liu Xiaozi has probably already greeted all the ancestors of our Li family. This has pushed him to the forefront of the storm!
"
"When this old slave came to Haijin Town, Mr. Liu was doing his best to assist His Royal Highness in handling court affairs, but the old slave secretly heard about Wei Xiang and Tong Xiang."
"Any objection?"
"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"
"Hey, I'm definitely going to have a bumper harvest today!"
Li Zheng slipped away for a while and put the fish into the fish basket with a smile on his face.
"As an emperor and a courtier, I'm afraid that the prince can't use his two beloved ministers well! It's just a matter of suppressing them appropriately. Someone has to keep them in check!"
"This old slave is confused, just pass on the message!"
Li Zheng scratched his messy hair: "An army of 270,000 troops and horses are indispensable, right?"
"That's right, according to the border documents, there are about 170,000 war horses!"
"Tsk, tsk, I'm getting rich! I'm really going to get rich! Let's do this. In order to prevent Liu Xiaozi from becoming the target of public criticism in the court, don't waste his reputation as a handsome man in white. Let him go to Northern Xinjiang to supervise the war!"
"Yes, does your Majesty have any other instructions?"
Li Zheng pondered for a moment: "Give the prince a few words!"
