Ji Tang

Nanguan City.

This is the southernmost city in the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the most important city in the entire southern sea area. It has a population of more than 300,000, one million Tang people under its rule, and three million naturalized natives. As for those who have not yet been naturalized?

hehe! It won’t be too late to count when they are naturalized!

Here, the imperial court did not send civilian officials to govern, and all governance was under the jurisdiction of the Nanhai Navy Fleet. There were straits running through the north and south, large areas of fertile land, and customs that transported millions of guan to the Tang Dynasty every year. , and an endless stream of Eastern and Western businessmen passed by.

In a sense, going east across the strait is the Tang Dynasty, and going west is the West. The word "conong" here is more like dividing the boundary between east and west.

As one of the deputy commanders of the Nanhai Navy Fleet, Liu Rengui rarely leads the team out to sea in person. He is busy with endless affairs every day. The other person is Shen Zhen, who takes up space most of the time.

Everywhere he went, as long as there was no organized national land, he would chisel a huge stone tablet and inscribe it with the words: Such-and-such place in the Tang Dynasty.

Don't ask how many have been engraved now, he probably doesn't even know.

To the south of the strait are endless archipelagos, islands of all sizes, and countless reefs!

Who has the time to memorize them one by one?

He didn't have time anyway.

On this day, Shen Zhen returned from the sea. Although he was already old, he looked a little darker and a little rough. He looked very energetic and gave people a strong feeling!

Arriving at the City Lord's Mansion in the center of Nancheng, the imperial court has not given this land an organization, as if it has been forgotten. If they hadn't been urged to pay taxes every year like a debt, I'd probably forget about this place!

The name of the administrative office is also nondescript, City Lord's Mansion? What is this place? Is there such a place in Datang?

Originally, he didn't want to come back. How could he have the time to stay here when he was brave enough to brave the wind and waves and show off his true qualities as a hero? Every time I come back, that bastard Liu Rengui will be used as a coolie. If there is nothing serious, he will not come back even if he is beaten to death!

It's great to be at sea. Every time you go out to sea, it's an amazing experience. The discovery of a new island will be a surprise. Because no one knows what surprises are waiting for them to discover on this island!

But it won't work this time. It is said that news came from the imperial court, and even Duke Hao sent people. I don't dare to delay now. If that bastard Liu Rengui reports him, where can I go to reason?

However, as soon as he walked into the lobby, he saw Liu Rengui pouring out his bitter words to someone!

"I'm miserable. That bastard Shen Zhen knows how to wander around on the sea. So many affairs are all mine. He gets up before dawn every day and goes to bed in the middle of the night. It feels like every time I close my eyes, every time I open them, another day has passed. "

"You have to tell Mr. Xi when you get back. That bastard is nothing."

"fart!"

"Bullshit, Liu Rengui, I knew you bastard had no good intentions. What's wrong with me? I'm exposed to wind and sun every day, look at my face? My children won't even recognize me when I get home."

"You still have the nerve to say that? Is there any land on the sea that I didn't conquer with my men? Hello, you are sitting here in front of your eldest boss, and you have nothing to do with your words and pen, but you still have the nerve to complain?"

"Okay, let's settle this account carefully!"

Liu Rengui was talking when he heard this voice and his heart suddenly thumped, secretly thinking that this is not good!

But it was still too late. I saw Shen Zhen striding in with a cannibalistic look, as if he was ready to fight!

"Hey, what, isn't this just chatting? You won't take it seriously, will you?" Who is Liu Rengui? That was the disaster that caused Li Gang's favorite Clivia to be used in the academy. He was the bastard who was chased for three miles by Li Gang. He was so shameless. As soon as he saw something was wrong, he immediately explained with a smile.

"Don't give me that damn smile!"

Shen Zhen's face was dark. Of course, it was already dark, but it just got darker!     “I finally understand.”

He stared at Liu Rengui, who was smiling playfully, and said angrily: "You are just a bastard, a bastard, you are here to bring trouble to me. If I partner with you, I will be unlucky for the rest of my life!"

If this had happened before, could Liu Rengui have tolerated it? But now, who will let others catch him when he snitches? If you don't comfort yourself like this, will you reveal your bottom later?

Is that okay?

"Okay, you two are just..."

The visitor pointed at the two people and said speechlessly: "They are just two living treasures. I don't know what the general was thinking at the time? Put you together?"

At this time, Shen Zhen looked at the person. Not to mention, he was still an acquaintance!

"Lao Gu!" Shen Zhen said in surprise.

"Aren't you on duty in Chang'an? I heard you became a minister? Why are you here?"

Gu Yanzhi smiled bitterly, could he not come? Nowadays, there is a turmoil in the court. Even though it looks calm on the surface, there is a lot of competition secretly.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, he must promote his own people. No, he is blocking others' way!

Although he has Mr. Xi behind him, no one dares to do anything to him. Even the prince has to give some thin noodles. But things are often broken from within. Even if he is careful, he still falls into the trap of others and is stabbed in the back by his subordinates. Who can he ask to reason with?

With Mr. Xi here, no one would do anything to him despite his shamelessness, but he still wanted to be shameless. Anyway, he couldn't stay in Chang'an any longer. It happened that the eldest son went south to Yizhou and led the Nanhai navy. In addition, the imperial court also wanted to strengthen the governance of Nancheng. Therefore, as the original governor of Mingzhou, an official familiar with maritime affairs became very prominent.

After asking for my opinion, I was sent here. I am afraid that I will have to work with these two living treasures from now on. Thinking of the scene where the two of them had snitched on each other just now, he no longer had any hope for his future life.

I am a civil servant and I still want to be shameless. What can I do when I meet two shameless people?

"This is a document from the imperial court, read it yourself!"

He threw the documents to the two of them casually, drank tea by himself, and said: "From now on, this will be the Nanhai Governor's Mansion. The first Governor will be you, Liu Rengui, and I will be the Chief Shi of the Governor's Mansion. From now on, you don't have to Once you go to sea, you will be stationed here and no longer hold the position of deputy commander of the Nanhai Navy Fleet!"

"General Shen will remain in his original position, but no other deputy commanders will be appointed because the real commander is here!"

Liu Rengui was originally dissatisfied, so why did he become the governor of Lao Shizi? But after hearing the next words, he was stunned and said excitedly: "You mean?"

"Is Mr. Xi coming?" Shen Zhen also shouted anxiously.

"What are you dreaming about? Mr. Xi is now the head of Wuying Pavilion and the number one person in the Tang Dynasty's military. How could he come here? What are you thinking about?" Gu Yanzhi almost spit out a mouthful of tea. These two guys just want delicious food!
