Man Tanghong

Chapter 342 Misunderstanding and Water Transport

"In His Royal Highness Qin's residence, there are not many people like Du Yan who are not valued by His Highness King Qin. We can recruit them."

Ling Jing already understood the stakes, but he still didn't give up.

In his opinion, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng have completely torn their faces apart, and the struggle between the two will become more and more fierce in the future. This is definitely an excellent opportunity for Qi Wangfu.

Qi Wangfu can use this to recruit those outstanding people who have become victims under the mutual targeting of Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

As long as it is operated properly, the Qi Palace will not only have the opportunity to become a force that keeps pace with the Qin Palace and the East Palace, but may also surpass the Qin Palace and the East Palace and become a stronger force.

Li Yuanji gave Ling Jing a white look, "Do you think I can fall in love with someone my second brother doesn't like? Among the people in my second brother's house who are not valued, only Xu Jingzong is barely worth it. But Xu Jingzong is a duplicity, so it's not worth the effort to recruit him."

Li Yuanji always felt that Ling Jing regarded his Prince Qi's mansion as a place where filth was hidden.

Who is Li Shimin?

An ancient emperor.

His vision of seeing people is verified by history.

Those who are not valued or used under his hands are either real scum, or hypocrites like Xu Jingzong who are inconsistent with their appearance, or villains who are used to playing dirty tricks and using small tricks.

Prince Qi's Mansion is not a garbage dump, nor is it some sinister and evil secret organization.

Why do we need so many scum, hypocrites, and villains?
While asking them to come over to help count your enemies, do you want to count you by the way?

That's asking for trouble.

Ling Jing opened his mouth, speechless.

He felt that some people in Li Shimin's house who were not reused could still be used by picking and choosing.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanji could only have his eyes on that one, and he didn't want to recruit him yet.

In order to dispel Ling Jing's idea of ​​poaching people from Li Shimin's hands, Li Yuanji stared at Ling Jing and said seriously: "Ling Jing, you must remember that we are not what we used to be.

We no longer have to recruit those who we don't like, but have to use.

Now we have the qualifications to pick and choose.

Therefore, we don't have to recruit people who others don't like, and we don't like.

In the future, we will only recruit people who we like, or who are of great use to us. "

Ling Jing was a little dazed when he heard this.

Has Prince Qi's Mansion developed and grown?
Already qualified to pick and choose?

He always thought that the manpower of Prince Qi's Mansion was still not enough as before.

Li Yuanji looked at Ling Jing who was in a daze, and continued: "Besides, at this critical moment, we must not make a move. We must not let my elder brother and my second brother regard us as fishermen."

Ling Jing came back to his senses, fixedly staring at Li Yuanji, savoring Li Yuanji's words.

Li Yuanji stretched his neck, approached Ling Jing, and said seriously and solemnly in a voice that only two people could hear: "They have already torn their faces, and they are already going to desperately.

Now, except for my father, whoever dares to jump in front of them, they will destroy it crazily. "

When the two wolves are desperate, they will never allow a third party to be present.

Not to mention the two dragon hatchlings with sharp minions.

If Li Yuanji jumped out and dangled in front of Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng when they were fighting, he would be targeted and die.

So if you jump out in this situation, you will definitely be targeted and you will definitely die.

The former still has room to turn around, while the latter is certain to die.

Therefore, before Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng started the final decisive battle, Li Yuanji was unwilling to participate in their struggle, and even wanted to be less in the limelight as much as possible, and do less to irritate them, so that they would not regard themselves as a threat.

After hearing Li Yuanji's words, Ling Jing fully understood the seriousness of the matter.

No more talking about digging people out of Li Shimin's hands.

"Great Xue Wanshu to come in and sit down. He came to me, it should not be as simple as just visiting me. I also want to know through him, whether Li Jing has fulfilled his duty after I was appointed as Minister of the Military Department of Daxingtai, Hebei Province. Accusation, whether there is any obedience and violation.”

Seeing that Ling Jing no longer mentioned poaching people from Li Shimin's hands, Li Yuanji ordered Ling Jing to call Xue Wanshu in.

Now that some secrets that are inconvenient to be known by too many people are finished, there is no need to avoid Xue Wanshu anymore.

Otherwise, after a long time, Xue Wanshu would feel guilty in his heart.

If it's more serious, it will be eccentric.

After all, Xue Wanshu was the eldest of the five Xue brothers, and had a profound influence on the remaining four brothers of the Xue family.

If Xue Wanshu is divorced, the remaining four brothers of the Xue family will also be affected.

No matter what Xue Shi said now, he was also Li Yuanji's number one general, and he could help Li Yuanji a lot. Li Yuanji couldn't let them be divorced from him.

Ling Jing nodded slightly when he heard the order, and quickly got up and left the arbor.

It didn't take long before he came back with Xue Wanshu.

Li Yuanji asked the two to sit down again, and while calling the maidservant who was standing in the distance to prepare food and drinks, he said to Xue Wan with a smile: "Just now I talked with Ling Changshi about some private matters related to the depths of the forbidden palace. Don’t mind if it’s inconvenient to announce it to the public.”

Xue Wanshu was obviously stunned for a moment, and said strangely in his heart: "Of course I don't mind."

In fact, as Li Yuanji, there was no need to explain this kind of matter to Xue Wanshu too much.

Since Li Yuanji explained it, it means that he regards Xue Wanshu as one of his own, and also thinks highly of Xue Wanshu.

Xue Wanshu also knew that Li Yuanji valued their brothers very much, otherwise it would be impossible for them to continue to lead the old ministry, and it would be impossible for him to send another younger brother to Hebei Road when he was called back to Beijing.

The reason why Li Yuanji did this was to ensure that one of their brothers would always be on Hebei Road.

Someone will always guard their family business in Hebei Road, and someone will always guard their family members.

Let them have no worries.

If Li Yuanji didn't value their brothers, he would never do this.

That's why when Li Yuanji and Ling Jing had something private to say and hinted that he left for a while, he left with interest and did not feel any dissatisfaction with it.

The reason why he felt weird was because he didn't expect that Li Yuanji would explain this kind of thing to him specially.

Ling Jing didn't know what Xue Wanshu was thinking, but he guessed why Li Yuanji explained something to Xue Wanshu, and immediately said enviously: "Your Highness treats you as one of your own. I have been with Your Highness for so long, and Your Highness also You haven't said that to me a few times."

Ling Jing didn't say that he didn't even once, otherwise it would appear false and he would appear hypocritical.

That's why he said that Li Yuanji didn't tell him much, in order to show how much Li Yuanji attached importance to Xue Wanshu.

Xue Wanshu clasped his fists and said seriously, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

Li Yuanji waved his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, we are all our own people, no need to be polite, I'm afraid you might misunderstand."

Although this kind of thing does not have to be done, it is worth doing when it can be done.

When people get along with each other, misunderstandings, estrangements, conflicts, etc., etc., happen inadvertently.

If you don't care, it will accumulate more and more over time, and when it finally explodes, it will lead to unbelievable and unwilling consequences.

After all, it is difficult for one person to guess another person's mind, and one person always likes to use his own mind to guess another person's mind, so the result obtained must be very different from another person's mind.

If the difference is not far, there will not be too much misunderstanding.

If the difference is too far, there will be a big misunderstanding.

For example, when a man meets a woman, the woman sees a little ink stain on the man's face and thinks it's funny, so she can't help but look at it twice, but she doesn't say anything, the man doesn't ask anything, and then she guesses in her heart. It wasn't my appearance that attracted the woman, and then I ran to chase the woman driven by loneliness, and the final result was naturally that the head was broken and bloody, and I was saddened.

So when encountering something that is easy to be misunderstood, if you can explain it, you must explain it, and try to avoid it from developing to the point of harming others and yourself.

Xue Wanshu clasped his fists again when he heard Li Yuanji's words, and said seriously: "Your Highness treats me with sincerity, how could I misunderstand His Highness?"

Li Yuanji nodded with a smile, and talked about business, "Is there anything serious you need to say when you come to see me this time?"

Xue Wanshu withdrew his hand and started talking about business.

Li Yuanji didn't say any more, and listened quietly.

Xue Wanshu didn't say too many irrelevant things. He briefly talked about what he and Ma Zhou had done in Hebei Road in the past six months, and then talked about some details of Su Dingfang and Kan Leng's crusade against Fu Gongyou.

Finally, I reported on the construction progress of Dizhou Marine Terminal, and the water terminal in Dizhou, Dezhou, Bozhou, Weizhou, Xiangzhou, and Weizhou. Then I reported some government affairs that Li Jing took over after arriving in Hebei Road, and Some governance measures implemented after taking over government affairs.

Most of what Xue Wanshu said, Li Yuanji had seen from the document handed over by Hebei Road, but there were only some details, which were not mentioned in the document.

After Xue Wanshu's description, Li Yuanji has a clearer understanding of some administrative measures and changes in Hebei Province, as well as the gains and losses of Xue Wanshu, Ma Zhou and others' administration in Hebei Province.

Everything in Hebei Road became more full in Li Yuanji's mind.

However, Li Yuanji still paid more attention to the construction progress of the water transport terminal on the river, and Li Jing's administrative measures after he arrived in Hebei Road.

According to Xue Wanshu, the first batch of water transport piers on the river have basically been completed, and some of the early completed piers have even been put into use.

Some merchants with a keen sense of smell have already taken the initiative to come to the door and began to deliver goods over short distances.

When the water transport yamen directly under the Prince Qi Mansion presided over by Wu Shiyi is ready, and the water transport terminals from Dizhou to Luoyang, and even Chang'an are officially released, merchants will definitely flock to them and start transporting goods on a large scale.

Since the entire water transport route is very long and there are many places along the way, once the goods are transported on a large scale, the existing docks may not be enough, and the warehouses may not be enough.

So the construction of the second batch of water transport terminals has already begun, but there are two problems.

One is where and how to build the wharf in Chang'an City.

Although Chang'an City has a wharf, and there are three wharves, but they are all docks of the imperial court, the ships of Prince Qi's Mansion, and the ships passing through the water transport office of Prince Qi's Mansion to Chang'an City, although they can also dock, they will inevitably be looked down upon. After being driven away, he ran into a conflict with the imperial court's water transport office, and had to make concessions to the imperial court's water transport office.

In addition, Chang'an City is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and the place that everyone in the Tang Dynasty yearns for is destined to gather all the goods in the world.

So once the wharf from Chang'an City to Dizhou is fully opened, coupled with the impact of the shipping terminal, the existing three wharves may not be enough, and the warehouses on the wharf may not be enough.

Therefore, Prince Qi's Mansion now urgently needs to build a huge wharf in Chang'an City, and build a warehouse with a huge amount of goods.

Whether it is a huge dock or a warehouse with strict requirements, it is not easy to build in this kind of inland hinterland. It requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is not easy to choose a location.

The second is whether to take the opportunity to connect Luoyang to Yuhang, and Yuhang to Yangzhou to the mouth of the sea.

If we can take the opportunity to get through, not only can the entire Qi Wangfu grasp an additional source of income, but also become the real talker of the water transportation of the Tang Dynasty.
