Man Tanghong

Chapter 412 Li Xiaogong Has a Fleet? !
"Ling Jing is here? Sit down first."

Seeing Ling Jing arrived, Li Yuanji first asked Ling Jing to sit down, and then let go of Li Xiaogong.

Li Xiaogong, who had lost his restraint, roared and rushed to Li Yuanji again, but was easily suppressed by Li Yuanji again. After three times, Li Xiaogong finally regained his "consciousness" and realized that there was an insurmountable gap between his martial arts and Li Yuanji. .

Immediately, angrily, she sat down on the couch and squeezed Ling Jing.

Then, under Ling Jing's resentful gaze, he began to speak harshly, "You wait for me, I will strangle you to death sooner or later."

Li Yuanji pretended not to hear Li Xiaogong's cruel words, and said to Ling Jing with a smile: "Do you know why I asked you to come here?"

Ling Jing did some research on the way here, and he knew that Wu Shiyi was found to be suffering from a hidden disease and his life was in danger, and now he was begging for nothing in Chang'an Xinghu, begging for forgiveness from the Xinglin masters in Chang'an Xinghu I am asking the apricot masters in Chang'an Xinglu to treat him. I don't have time to deal with matters related to water transportation.

Li Yuanji recruited him suddenly, he must have wanted him to take over from Wu Shiyi and take care of the water transportation for the time being.

So Ling Jing nodded and said with a smile: "I know something, Your Highness probably wanted me to come here with His Highness King Hejian to manage the water transportation together."

If Li Yuanji wanted him to handle the affairs of water transportation alone, it would be impossible to recruit Li Xiaogong.

Now that Li Xiaogong has been recruited, it is hoped that they will handle the matters of water transportation together.

On this point, Ling Jing still saw it very clearly, and said it without hesitation.

As for why Li Yuanji made such an arrangement, Ling Jing was generally clear.

It is nothing more than that he and Li Xiaogong have their own duties, and it is impossible to devote themselves to water transportation matters, so it is necessary for one person to share the pressure and cooperate with each other.

In this way, it will not be so hard.

There is no need to worry about missing the water transportation.

Seeing that Ling Jing already knew the purpose of recruiting him, Li Yuanji didn't explain much, and immediately said: "Since you know the purpose of recruiting you, I won't say any more.

I have already sent someone to Xiuwenguan to hand over the documents related to the water transportation from Luoyang to Yuhang.

After you get back the documents, you can take a look with my cousin to see how to unblock the water transportation from Luoyang to Yuhang, and how to use the water transportation from Luoyang to Yuhang as soon as possible.

I hope that in August and September of this year, the water transport from Luoyang to Yuhang can return to the level of the heyday of the former Sui Dynasty.

It is best to be higher than the level of the heyday of the former Sui Dynasty. "

When Ling Jing heard this, he agreed almost without hesitation, "I will definitely do my best."

On the contrary, Li Xiaogong had some criticisms, "It has returned to the level of the heyday of the former Sui Dynasty. It would be good to recover half of it."

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong and didn't speak.

Ling Jing glanced at Li Xiaogong with a wry smile, feeling that Li Xiaogong was playing with Li Yuanji.

Li Xiaogong felt the silent pressure on Li Yuanji's body, curled his lips and said, "Don't look at me like that, I'm just telling the truth. Since the chaos in the former Sui Dynasty, the water transportation from Luoyang to Yuhang has been abolished.

Especially the water transport from the riverside to Yuhang has almost changed beyond recognition.

Many places are not only blocked, but also covered with weeds.

The piers have been abandoned for many years and have decayed.

It will take a lot of effort to return to the heyday of the former Sui Dynasty, and it is impossible without two or three years of hard work. "

Speaking of this, Li Xiaogong paused for a moment, and then continued in a teasing tone: "Of course, if you can convince your father to enlist hundreds of thousands of civilians like Emperor Sui Yang did, to dredge the water transport from Luoyang to Yuhang , it is possible to return to the appearance of the pre-Sui heyday in August or September of this year."

Li Yuanji gave Li Xiaogong a fierce look.

Li Xiaogong was insinuating him, insinuating that he was whimsical.

It is simply impossible for Li Yuan to recruit hundreds of thousands of civilians to dredge the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

How many Ding mouths does Datang have?
more than 100 million households.

To conscript hundreds of thousands of civilians, you have to conscript three to four young men, and you have to prepare millions of stones of food and grass.

The problem is that the Tang Dynasty has just been unified, and if the young and strong of three to four realms are emptied, it is tantamount to emptying out three to four realms and letting careerists wreak havoc.

As for the food and grass counted in millions of stones, not to mention the current Tang Dynasty, even the powerful Tang Dynasty, if you want to take it out, you have to grit your teeth.

So this kind of thing is impossible to happen, don't even think about it.

The reason why Li Xiaogong said this is purely to describe how difficult it is to dredge the water transportation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and use it.

The few months he set were simply not enough.

"Anyway, the water transportation from Luoyang to Yuhang has been entrusted to you. If you have such an idea, you can go to my father to discuss it."

Li Yuanji said angrily.

Li Xiaogong pursed his lips and said, "I don't want to scold you."

Li Yuanji glared at Li Xiaogong and said: "Then do as I said, it's one thing to fail to do it, and another thing not to do it because you're afraid of difficulties."

Ling Jing nodded with a smile on the side and said: "Your Highness is right, it depends on people."

Li Xiaogong glanced dissatisfiedly at Li Yuanji and Ling Jing, and said with a hum: "You two have been dating for a while, and you are trying to plot me against me.

Don't think I can't see it. "

Li Yuanji said speechlessly: "There are so many more important things now, I don't have the heart to plot against you on this kind of thing."

Li Xiaogong said disapprovingly: "Then I don't care, I can tell you in advance, if I can't unblock the water transportation from Luoyang to Yuhang in six or seven months, and don't use the water transportation from Luoyang to Yuhang, don't scold me .

Otherwise I will turn my face off. "

Li Yuanji nodded and said nothing more.

Turn your face and turn your face.

He really wasn't afraid of Li Xiaogong turning his face.

After getting along for a long time, he also understood Li Xiaogong's temperament clearly.

Li Xiaogong is a typical dead duck.

Apart from being stubborn, there are no other characteristics.

"Then I will go back and prepare first. After I get back the documents from Xiuwenguan, I will immediately send someone to clear the water transport from Luoyang to Yuhang."

Ling Jing saw that Li Yuanji had stopped talking, and Li Xiaogong had been dragged silent like a [-] person, so he got up and said goodbye.

It is a big deal to unblock the water transportation from Luoyang to Yuhang.

Especially under the premise of not knowing the specific situation of the water transport from Luoyang to Yuhang, we must make early preparations.

Li Yuanji didn't ask Ling Jing to stay either, but nodded and let Ling Jing leave first.

As soon as Ling Jing left, Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong and said with disgust, "Why don't you leave?"

Li Xiaogong stared dissatisfiedly, and said angrily: "You really want to hand over the water transportation from Luoyang to Yuhang to me?"

Li Yuanji couldn't believe his ears, "I've said everything I need to say, and Ling Jing has gone back to make preparations, don't you believe me?"

Li Xiaogong hesitated for a moment, nodded his head and said: "I believe it, but I feel a little unreal."

Li Yuanji said speechlessly: "If you don't want to, I can ask Uncle Wang for help."

Li Xiaogong hurriedly waved his hands, "Forget it, Uncle Wang and us may not have the same heart, so we have to be careful."

Speaking of this, Li Xiaogong raised his head subconsciously, stared straight at the person, and said: "Since you entrusted me with such an important source of income, you can trust me.

Let me tell you something that no one else knows. "

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong puzzled.

Li Xiaogong deliberately lowered his voice and said: "You should know that I have practiced naval forces in Jingzhou before and supervised the construction of large ships?"

Li Yuanji nodded.

This is the basic work that Li Xiaogong did during his conquest of Nanliang.

In order to flatten Nanliang in one fell swoop, after Li Xiaogong was sent to Jingzhou, he did not directly attack Nanliang, nor did he mobilize troops against any disobedient forces, but instead drilled the navy in Jingzhou and supervised the construction of large ships.

It took more than half a year.

It was not until the navy was ready to use and the big ships were built that they began to use troops against Nanliang.

This is a well-known matter in the ruling and opposition parties. Li Yuanji didn't understand why Li Xiaogong mentioned this matter.

But he didn't ask, and waited for Li Xiaogong to say it himself.

Anyway, Li Xiaogong had already spoken, so he probably wouldn't hide it.

"Now, I won't hide it from you. Although your father has deprived me of many powers, I still have a navy and four large ships to obey my orders."

Li Xiaogong spoke like a thief, his voice lowered as he spoke, and he watched Li Yuanji's expression vigilantly.

When Li Yuanji heard this, his face was astonished, and his eyes widened subconsciously, "You hid private soldiers?"

Li Xiaogong hastily waved his hands, "It's not considered private soldiers, just some people who have suffered minor injuries, or who don't want to run with the army. The four large ships also had a problem during the supervision of the fleet and were not selected. "

Li Yuanji looked at Li Xiaogong suspiciously, always feeling that what Li Xiaogong said was not true.

If it is said that those sailors had to 'retire' because they were injured or did not want to run with the army, that would make sense.

There are many such people in Datang, it is not unusual, and there is nothing to doubt.

The large ships that can be supervised are expensive, and each one is very important to Datang.

Even if a fork is found during the supervision period, it will find ways to use it, or try to make up for it. It is absolutely impossible to "retire" on the spot, let alone be sent to the dock to be burned, and even less likely to be used privately. .

Therefore, the origin of the four large ships in Li Xiaogong's hands may not be as simple as he said.

However, Li Yuanji didn't chase after him to find out.

First of all, as a person who has been in charge of half of the country, Li Xiaogong prepared many backhands for himself in order to prevent Li Yuan from killing the donkey, which is also reasonable.

Secondly, Li Xiaogong is now his ally, they are a community of interests, Li Xiaogong is willing to tell this matter now, obviously he can trust him, and it is obvious that he wants to use this water army and fleet for the water transportation of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal superior.

It is impossible for him to betray Li Xiaogong, nor can he embarrass Li Xiaogong too much, let alone give up such a good thing that came to him.
