The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1407 Visiting Su Dingfang

Now that Xuan Shijing is thinking about the neighbor's silver mine, he must go to his neighbor's house in his lifetime. Only in this way can he live up to this chic walk.

Although the matter is settled, the time will be one month later, but Xuan Shijing also needs to start preparations from now. Compared with Quanzhou, there are more things in Chang'an, more comprehensive, and easier to prepare.

Xuan Shijing also knows the general situation of Ryukyu today. It is basically the same as no development. There are overgrown trees and a lot of miasma. The doctor can't be less.

So this time, I have to bring a few doctors from Chang'an with me to go there this time. After arriving in Quanzhou, I will find a few more doctors in Quanzhou.

It is said that the distance from Quanzhou to Ryukyu is not the farthest voyage for Datang Navy. The voyage distance from Dengzhou to Baijiangkou is much longer than this, but after all, the route from Quanzhou to Ryukyu is less. With little experience, the risks are greatly increased.

After Xuan Shijing left the Xuanwu Building, Qiandui immediately arranged for people to leave for Puzhou immediately, arranging venues and materials for the craftsmen of the engineering college. I will take the lead in handling this matter, and after returning to my room, I will repair the book and give it to the caravan guard in Yangzhou. Within a month, I will arrive in Puzhou and stand by in Puzhou.

Originally, spring had just started, and the business in the caravan was not very hot. Since there is a way to make money in Ryukyu, they should do their best to come to Ryukyu first, and this was also ordered by my father-in-law.

As for finding a doctor, although the college that Zhuangzi attended had students, they were still too young, so Xuan Shijing planned to ask Sun Simiao for two people, that is, the two little Taoist boys who followed Sun Simiao. But for so many years, I have also learned a lot from Sun Simiao. Anyway, he is much better than ordinary doctors. On the merchant ship of the Xuan family, these two doctors are enough. As for the navy of Datang, among the navy There are also military doctors in the hospital, so Xuan Shijing doesn't have to worry about it. After arriving in Quanzhou, just add two more.

There are a lot of things to prepare for the long-term voyage at sea. Xuan Shijing plans to meet Zhuangzi first, and then slowly think about what to prepare. Anyway, except for the merchant ship and the crew, there is no rush for other things, and there is plenty of time.

After returning to Zhuangzi, Xuan Shijing also needs to study the information about the navy's voyage. He can't just rely on Liu Renyuan, but also needs to know something more or less.

Originally the best way was to ask Liu Rengui, but for going to sea, His Majesty Li Er did not choose Liu Rengui, but let Liu Rengui, who is familiar with the navy, stay in Chang'an, but chose Liu Renyuan instead, which made Xuan Shijing feel embarrassed. I went to visit Liu Rengui, so I can only study it by myself.

However, there is still one person who can inquire about it, and that is Su Dingfang. Su Dingfang is in charge of the army on the ground, but when he fought in Goguryeo, apart from the one with Xuan Shijing, there was another one with His Majesty Li Er. In the battle, Su Dingfang's people joined forces with the navy to cooperate with His Majesty Li Er's army.

Perhaps in this regard, Su Dingfang also knows something.

Do you want to ask Su Dingfang and get some news about the navy from him?

If you go, this matter will definitely spread. If you don't go, Xuan Shijing is still thinking about other people's news and materials
Now the relationship between the Xuan family and the Su family is in the honeymoon period, it would be unreasonable to take this trip without telling others, even if they come back to make a fortune in the future, the two families will not get along, so Xuan Shijing still plans to go Su Dingfang went to the mansion and came and went. This is called dating.

While still in Chang'an, Xuan Shijing rode his horse to Su Dingfang's house by himself. Seeing Xuan Shijing, the concierge of the Su family quickly invited Xuan Shijing into the hall, and then went to the study in the backyard to inform Su Dingfang.

Not long after, Su Ding conveniently came to the hall and saw Xuan Shijing.

"Xuan Gong, a rare visitor." Su Dingfang said with a smile, "Come here, let's serve tea."

Xuan Shijing waved his hand: "There's no need to serve tea. Today, when I come to see Master Su, I will go to the Three Treasure Hall for nothing. I want to ask Master Su for some things."

"Oh?" Su Dingfang raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "What else can make our Xuan Gong difficult?"

"General Su also stayed in the Navy for a while back then, do you have any information about the Datang Navy? And the Navy's nautical charts?" Xuan Shijing asked.

Since I was in the navy back then, there must be blueprints for sailing at home. Nothing else is important, but this blueprint is the most important thing. There may be some in the army. Xuan Shijing is not sure whether Liu Renyuan's side is complete. Since it is going to sail long distances, it is necessary to be fully prepared in all aspects, rather than trouble is indispensable.

Now going out to sea with the navy, going to Ryukyu, it's a terrible business if you don't get it right.

"Nautical chart? Why does Xuangong want that thing?" Su Dingfang said.

"A month later, I'm going to go to Ryukyu." Xuan Shijing said: "Do a business to make a fortune."

Xuan Shijing reckoned that this matter could not be concealed, so he simply told Su Dingfang that His Majesty Li Er, the envoy of the Quanzhou Economic Strategy, had only given it verbally, and he would issue an imperial edict, and the three provinces issued imperial edicts to Xuan In Shijing's hands, Xuan Shijing took the imperial decree to Quanzhou, and only then could he "govern" properly there. Otherwise, the name would not be justified, and it would be difficult to move without the cooperation of local officials in Quanzhou.

"Business to get rich? Who in Chang'an City doesn't know that the caravans of Xuan Gong's family go as far as the Western Regions, and they are all doing business to make money. Why do they go to Ryukyu? Let alone the barren land of Ryukyu. Something good." Su Dingfang said disdainfully.

He naturally knew that in Ryukyu, except for the bushes and some tall trees, there were some "savages", so what money was there to make?

If the wood from the Ryukyu side is good, the wood from the south of the Tang Dynasty is also good. It is much easier to transport wood from the south to the north than to go to the Ryukyu.

It is because the people in the naval division have the same ideas as Su Dingfang, so they leave such a treasured place in Ryukyu and let it develop freely. When they realize that it is a good place, it is too late.

They only looked at the superficial phenomenon of Ryukyu, but Xuan Shijing knew that Ryukyu was a treasure, anyway, gold would always shine, and the light of Ryukyu was just covered up, just waiting for Xuan Shijing to lead someone to discover it What about the light.

"The navy of the former Sui Dynasty also had the same idea as you, General Su, so they went to Ryukyu three times and didn't find any good things in Ryukyu." Xuan Shijing laughed.
