The best little eunuch

Chapter 112
Chapter 112
When Lu Shuai went out, Xiao Duozi immediately ran in and said to Lin Feng: "A few adults came outside and want to see you."

"Let them leave a name card, and then go back." Lin Feng said.There are so many people, how could he come here?Simply ask them to leave famous posts, and pick a few people who can be used to meet them.

"Okay, I'll do it right now." After Xiao Duozi finished speaking, he quickly backed out.

Lin Feng lowered his head, ready to make a good plan for the future of Jishi Factory, but before writing two words, Xiaoduozi came in again.

"There is someone outside who said he must see you. I asked him to leave a name card, but he refused." Xiao Duozi said helplessly.There was really nothing he could do about meeting such a rascal.

"Where's the guard? Just drive him away." Lin Feng said casually.No matter what I say now, I can be regarded as a big celebrity, how can I meet people so casually?Wouldn't that be very cheap.

"He said, Sir, you will meet him when you hear his name." Xiao Duozi continued.

Putting down the pen in his hand, Lin Feng looked at Xiao Duozi, and said, "Who is so confident? I have to meet him if I give his name. You tell me his name. I'll see who it is. I must see him." !"

"He said his name is Liu Yi, and he is the new Secretary of the Ministry of War." Xiao Duozi replied.Originally, he didn't want to pass on this sentence, but that person kept begging him, so he had no choice but to pass on the message.

Hearing that it was Liu Yi, Lin Feng froze for a moment.Seeing Lin Feng's expression, Xiao Duozi hurriedly said, "I'll send him away." After speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Wait a minute." Lin Feng hurriedly called Xiao Duozi to a stop.

Looking back at Lin Feng, Xiao Duozi was waiting for Lin Feng's next order.

"Let him in." Lin Feng said.He can see others, but this Liu Yi really can't.This is not to say how great Liu Yi is, but that Lin Feng does have something to ask Liu Yi for advice.

This time it was Xiao Duozi's turn to be stunned. He didn't expect this person outside to really have such a skill. Just give him his name, and Lin Feng will see him.When he came back to his senses, Xiao Duozi hurried to invite Liu Yi in.

"I will see Lord Lin." After Liu Yi came in, he immediately bowed to Lin Feng.

"Lord Liu is free. Come here and serve tea to Master Liu." Lin Feng shouted loudly.Then let Liu Yi sit down.

After sitting down, Liu Yi said, "Thank you, Lord Lin, for being willing to meet the next official."

"Lord Liu, you are being polite. Next time you come, just come in directly, don't let the concierge inform you." Lin Feng said, in which the intention of showing favor to Liu Yi was very obvious.

Arching his hands, Liu Yi said, "Thank you, Lord Lin. However, there is one thing that I have to explain to Lord Lin."

"Master Liu has something to do, but it's okay to say it." Lin Feng said.Liu Yi came today, which really surprised him.

Looking at Lin Feng, Liu Yi said: "Lord Lin, although the lower officials were promoted by Lord Lin, the lower officials are only loyal to the emperor. As for the party disputes in the court, the lower officials will not participate in it. Please let Lin My lord forgives."

The meaning of Liu Yi's words is obvious. Although I was promoted by you, I will not join your camp, and I will not help you.It seems that this Liu Yi is also stubborn, and he is very upright, and he likes to explain everything clearly in person.

"This is natural. I have seen Master Liu's loyalty to the emperor." Lin Feng said.Although Liu Yi didn't agree to join him, it didn't matter.No matter who it is in their eyes, this Liu Yi is his own. More importantly, so many people came to see him today, but he only saw him.It is an indisputable fact that Liu Yi was assigned to his side.

"Although the outside world thinks that I am from Lord Lin's side, the officials themselves know that I am not from any side, and I am only loyal to the emperor." Liu Yi continued: "So, the promotion of Lord Lin Well, the next official can only report again in the next life."

"Master Liu, what are you talking about? Master Liu is a talented person. Since ancient times, this high position has been occupied by talented people. I just didn't let Master Liu's talent be buried." Lin Feng said to Liu Yi.

Regardless of whether Liu Yi is from his own camp or not, one thing is undeniable: Liu Yi is absolutely appropriate to sit in the position of minister of the Ministry of War.At least it is more suitable than Li Henian and Liu Rufeng's party members to sit in that position.

"Thank you Lord Lin for your attention." Liu Yi said again: "The official came today for this matter. Now that I have finished speaking, I will leave."

"Wait a minute." Lin Feng quickly stopped Liu Yi, and said, "I still have something to do, and I want to ask Master Liu."

After sitting back, Liu Yi asked, "I don't know what Lord Lin wants to ask?"

"For the coastal defense in the southeast area, what good ideas does Mr. Liu have?" Lin Feng asked.Last time, Lin Feng only listened to it with a half-knowledge, and he didn't know the specific situation very well.

However, during this period of time, Lin Feng learned a lot of useful things through inquiring with Jin Quan. At least, he knew that in March and April every year, pirates would inevitably plunder coastal villages.Since the Yan Dynasty had no navy, there was no way to drive these pirates away.

Moreover, from Jin Quan's words, Lin Feng got a piece of news: that is, the pirates in the southeast are getting older and more rampant, and they even dare to confront the officers and soldiers of the imperial court blatantly.In many cases, when officers and soldiers have an advantage in numbers, they will be defeated.

As the pirates came and went, the pirates became more rampant, but the officers and soldiers became more and more passive towards the encirclement and suppression of the pirates. Even knowing that there were pirates looting the village, they would not bother with him.After watching the pirates ransack the village, they swaggered away.

Hearing Lin Feng's question about the pirates in the southeast, Liu Yi was taken aback for a moment. The court made it clear that he didn't care about it, but he didn't expect that Lin Feng was concerned about the pirates in the southeast. This made Liu Yi feel a little more fond of Lin Feng in his heart.

"Lord Lin, forgive me for speaking bluntly, the pirates in the southeast have reached the point where they must be dealt with!" Liu Yi said to Lin Feng: "Your official is from the southeast province, and the people in my hometown have suffered. It’s not safe to live in court.”

"Then I wonder if Mr. Liu has a corresponding countermeasure?" Lin Feng asked.

Nodding his head, Liu Yi said, "Yes."

"Master Liu, please explain in detail." Lin Feng said.Now the three provinces of Southeast Province, Nanjiang Province, and Jiangbei Province have no chief officials. If possible, Lin Feng is willing to take over these three provinces.However, if he takes over these three provinces, he will inevitably face the problem of pirates.Therefore, Lin Feng had to ask Liu Yi for advice in advance.

Clenching his fists together, Liu Yi said, "Master Lin, we must teach these pirates a hard lesson, otherwise, they will only become more and more rampant."

"Then, does Master Liu have any good suggestions?" Lin Feng asked.He also wanted to teach the pirate a lesson, but there had to be a specific and feasible method for that.

"Lord Lin, I have an immature idea." Liu Yi said: "The people along the coast are tough by nature, and the court only needs them to organize a self-defense group to deal with the invasion of these pirates a little bit. Then the troops stationed in various places will arrive as soon as possible to join the local people, and when the numbers are superior, they can definitely teach those pirates some lessons."

"What if the pirates withdraw immediately after learning the news of the arrival of the army? Or the self-defense force of the village name can't stop it?" Lin Feng asked.If the pirates withdrew before the army arrived, wouldn't it be a waste of time for the army every time.

"Lord Lin, the method that the official said is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If we want to cure the root cause, we need to form a navy." Liu Yi said: "During the Taizu period, the navy of our Great Yan Dynasty was so powerful that it deterred all countries. , but what about now? Apart from the lack of equipment remaining in Dongting Lake, what else do we have?"

"Where's the navy of our Great Yan Dynasty?" Lin Feng asked, he really didn't know very well about the navy of Yan Dynasty.

"They were all abolished." Liu Yi said sadly: "The annual military expenditure of the navy is high. Although the imperial court allocates a lot of military expenditure to the navy every year, it is used to maintain the warships. Later, the imperial treasury was tight. , coupled with the restlessness of the small countries on the border, the imperial court had to allocate a large amount of military expenditure to the frontier army, resulting in less and less military expenditure to the navy, and finally slowly did not give military expenditure to the navy, and the navy was disbanded .”

"When did this happen?" Lin Feng asked.If the time hadn't passed very long, he could consider recruiting those navy officers and soldiers back.In this way, the navy's formation speed will be much faster.

Shaking his head, Liu Yi said, "My Great Yan Dynasty has had no water masters for 50 years."

"50 years..." Lin Feng was speechless for a while. Even if those people were alive, they would still have a lot of beards. It would be useless to expect them to go to the battlefield.It seems that the matter of the navy has to start from scratch!
Time passed as before, Lin Feng still didn't have any specific errands, basically he was in charge of a bunch of things in the editing factory.However, with Lu Shuai in the editing factory, Lin Feng didn't need to worry too much, so Lin Feng spent more time thinking about the future development route.

Now the court and the central government have basically formed a three-legged confrontational situation. In the political affairs hall, Lin Feng occupies two seats: Jin Quan and Ding Quan, who are in charge of political affairs.Although Li Henian and Liu Rufeng are both prime ministers, but the emperor is in charge personally, Jin Quan and Ding Quan are more important.

Under Lin Feng's instruction, and under the deliberate action of Jin Quan and Ding Quan, Li Wenyuan was finally appointed as the prefect of Jinling City. This was something that Lin Feng had planned long ago.

However, the position of magistrate of Yangzhou was not occupied by Lin Feng, but was appointed to the queen's brother, Xu Qingyi, the son of Xu Guogong.Regarding this, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not have any objections. After all, Xu Guogong's daughter became the queen, and Xu Guogong's family could not be overemphasized.
