Chapter 106

Liu Jing handed over the six boats to Wang Qiang, not without unreserved trust. He placed three members of the Liu clan, including Liu Liang's father, as his eyes and ears.On the contrary, Wang Qiang took this as a matter of course, and sighed in his heart that Liu Jing's skills were astonishing. If it were him, he would never have given the command of the fleet to outsiders.

Compared with Wang Qiang, Liu Jing is undoubtedly more at ease with Liu Zhu, and he only sent a member of the Liu clan as a symbol, but he has a big problem, that is, lack of experience, Liu Jing specially hired several old sailors at a high price , to assist him.

Wang Qiang's ship to Jiaozhou was loaded with pottery, lacquerware, bronzes, cloth, and silk... Liu Zhu's ship to Xiangyang was loaded with grain, leather goods, medicinal materials, pearls, tortoise shells, jadeite and other South China Sea treasures.

The twelve boats led by the two carried between [-] shi and [-] shi. It was not until the middle of June that they could be fully loaded. On the day the boats left the port, Liu Jing went to Beijin in person to see them off. fleet.

After Wang Qiang and Liu Zhu left, Liu Jing thought he could relax for a while, but as soon as he returned to the official house that evening, Liu Pan, a tall man with a crown and broad sleeves, came to his door.

Looking at Liu Pan with a serious expression and a hint of worry on his brow, Liu Jing invited him into the dorm and asked, "What happened? Brother Cong, why is there a look of hesitation on his face?"

After taking his seat, Liu Pan stared at Liu Jing, and sighed after a long while: "Zhongda, what exactly do you want to do?"

Liu Jing's eyes sparkled, and he laughed and said, "Brother Cong's words are quite confusing, what do I want to do?"

Liu Pan was not a person who beat around the bush, and asked straightforwardly: "How many transgressions have you committed this year? Don't you know yourself?"

"It really caught Zhang Xian's attention." Liu Jing sighed inwardly. To be honest, this was not beyond his expectations. Zhang Xian would turn a blind eye to many of his actions unless he was blind.With a normal expression, he said: "Brother, it must not be my intention to come here, but the Lord of the House?"

Liu Pan nodded in acknowledgment and said, "Zhongda, the Lord Fu is going to transfer you away from the market."

Liu Jing immediately showed "displeasure" and said: "I think that what I did did not exceed the rules, but the Lord of the Fu doubted me? It is really disappointing. "Yi" said: "The way of a gentleman, either comes from or comes from , Silently or in words. 'Since the Fujun doesn't trust me, why don't I resign and go home, study and cultivate my ambition, so that I can wait for the Lord?!"

Liu Pan was very angry and funny, Liu Jing's words were a bit embarrassing, what do you mean by resigning and returning home to wait for the Ming Lord?Another meaning of this is that Zhang Xian is not the master of the Ming Dynasty?

Liu Pan scolded: "Zhong Da, don't feel wronged. Isn't it true that you bought a big ship privately and joined the army?"

Liu Jing raised his eyebrows, resolutely refused to admit the accusation, and retorted: "I bought the big ship to sell goods from the north to the south. As for meddling in the army, I can't even talk about it. I went to the military camp to visit friends. What's the matter, Mr. Fu?" Who did you listen to the instigation to be so suspicious of me?"

Liu Pan smiled wryly and said, "Zhongda, you and I are brothers, so don't tell me these false words. Although the Fujun transferred you from the market, he promised you a high position as the master."

Liu Jing was greatly surprised and asked, "What about Wu Ju?"

Liu Pan replied: "Wu Ju will be worshiped by the government as the magistrate of Luo County in the near future, and will be the captain of the northern part of Changsha."

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty really took great pains to accommodate me."

He once rejected Zhang Xianxu's position as one of the five officials under Zhang Xianxu's sect on the grounds that he did not want to serve the "Bi Yanjian". Yu Taishou's great housekeeper is enough to keep pace with meritorious officials.

Now, in order to accommodate him, Zhang Xian even released Wu Ju to the outside world, vacating the position of chief bookkeeper.

Liu Pan shook his head and told the truth, "This is Huan Boxu's suggestion."

"Huan Jie?" Liu Jing nodded. He has a good relationship with Huan Jie, and he and his younger brother Huan Yi are close friends, but Huan Jie is undoubtedly on Zhang Xian's side, and their friendship is not enough to change his position.

Liu Jing asked, "Who will be my successor?"

"Serious." Liu Pan said slowly, "Huan Boxu thinks that he is not only your confidant, but also quite capable, and he is the most suitable candidate to succeed you."

"Yan Bomu succeeds, and I can have no worries." Liu Jing suddenly felt relieved. Since ancient times, people have always left tea and died, and he was afraid that Zhang Xian would use outsiders to take over the city building, and then he would point fingers at random and make people feel uncomfortable. His hard work over the past year was ruined.

Liu Pan couldn't help sighing, "Zhong Da, you are the first person who can treat Fu Jun and Huan Boxu so seriously.

Liu Jing was unmoved in his heart. In the eyes of others, Zhang Xian might be the overlord of Jingnan, but in his eyes, he was a boat that was doomed to sink. He would never trap himself on the boat and bury himself in history together. wave.

"Zhongda," before leaving, Liu Pan said with a serious expression, "You have always had great ambitions, but this is exactly what worries me..."

Liu Jing knew what Liu Pan was worried about, and said calmly, "Brother Cong, don't worry, I will never do stupid things."

Liu Pan sighed, "I hope so."

In the drizzle, the tall and broad-sleeved Liu Pan walked away with a very desolate back.

Regardless of the rain, Liu Jing watched him off for a long time.

…………

The next day, when Liu Jing arrived at the city building, he immediately called Yan Yan and Xie Liang into the room.

Liu Jing came to the window, looked at all the shops in the city, turned his head to the two and said, "Today is my last day in the supervisory position."

Seriously, Xie Liang couldn't help but look at each other, unable to hide his shock, and asked solemnly, "Where is Jun Liu going?"

Liu Jing said with a smile: "Your Majesty wants me to be the master."

Xie Liang's heart couldn't help beating, and he thought: "Once Liu Jun leaves, will I have a chance to be in the position of supervisor and become a governor?" Confidant, high and powerful, prominent county, congratulations Liu Jun, congratulations Liu Jun..."

Seriously, he knew Liu Jing's intentions, so he didn't say a word.

Liu Jing called Seriously to his side, patted him on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Bomu, after I leave, the market will be handed over to you."

Before there was any serious reaction, Xie Liang's face turned pale first.

Seriousness is by no means as calm as it appears on the surface, and his emotions are surging and uncontrollable. He is a petty official who can hardly stay in the city prison. Zuo Shi, and then Baishi Jianshi, when will he have the opportunity to repay this great kindness?

Seriously bowed deeply, and said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Liu, I will definitely take good care of the market and live up to Mr. Liu's trust."
