Zhenguan Leisurely King

Chapter 442

"This is no problem. As long as the Feng family has its own sea power, all losses can be made up for." Feng An said proudly.

Wang Ping'an and Feng An talked for a long time in the study, and finally confirmed the cooperative relationship between the two parties. The port was built by Wang Ping'an, and all the proceeds belonged to Wang Ping'an.

As for safety at sea, it depends on who the merchant chooses for the escort job.Whoever discovers the new island first will own it and so on.

"Haha... It's a pleasure to cooperate with General Feng." Wang Pingan laughed.

"Haha... It's the same when working with you." Feng An laughed.

Seeing the two people walking out laughing, everyone was a little confused, what were they talking about, and they were talking so happily.

"Old Qi, go and call your boss and the others over." Feng An shouted when he saw the seventh young master.

"It's father."

Seventh Young Master quickly called dozens of brothers.

Although Wang Pingan knew that Feng An had hundreds of children, he was shocked by the sudden appearance of dozens.

Feng An shouted to his sons: "Today, the old man will choose ten people to follow General Wang to participate in the actual combat training of the navy. Those who want to go come out by themselves."

"The child is willing to go."

"The child is willing to go."

"The child is willing to go."

Everyone is scrambling to participate in naval combat training.

Feng Ang looked at his son with satisfaction, and said: "Okay, let the boss go to the elder eleven to train together, remember that you should use more snacks, this is related to the future development of my Feng family, and it is also related to your life. To complete the training, Fighting is like a pirate, so life and death are up to God, and you can't blame others. Do you understand?"

"Understood, please rest assured, father, the children will definitely come back safely." The ten people who were selected replied at the same time.

"That's right, since you are determined to bring yourselves back safely, then I will not dampen your morale. Remember one sentence: You must pay attention to teamwork at sea. When you give up, you must give up. Don't be an individual hero. As for the rest Let your instructors teach you." Wang Pingan said.

"Thank you, General Wang, for your reminder, we will keep it in mind."

Wang Pingan returned to Zhinanhai County with the military expenses prepared by Feng An and [-] soldiers. He threw the soldiers to Gu Han for training. He could do any kind of training, but he would see the results after three months.

From then on, these 300 people will live a life like hell for these three months.

As for the military expenses, of course Wang Pingan took all of them privately. During the training process, they ate whatever everyone ate, and they owned whatever everyone owned. Even Wang Pingan prepared a warship for them.

As for the construction of Feng An's site, Wang Ping'an sent ten shopkeepers there to help Feng An develop the economy.

Time passed in a flash, and three months later, Feng An came to Zhinanhai County to accept his own navy.Wang Pingan took him to the naval base.

Gu Han brought Feng's navy to meet Wang Ping'an and Feng An, and gave a military salute to them.

Wang Pingan also returned him a military salute, and then asked, "General Feng's men, how is your training going?"

"Responding to my lord, after three months of actual combat training, a total of six pirate regiments were annihilated, and more than half of them died. At present, they can all be called qualified navy." Gu Han replied.

Hearing this, Feng An couldn't help frowning, and asked, "Half of it is missing? Who are there?"

Gu Han glanced at Wang Ping'an, saw Wang Ping'an nodded, and said: "Reporting to General Feng, four out of ten of the other sons died in training, and more than a dozen other students also sacrificed in training."

"Very well, those damn bandits, after my Feng family navy is established, you will not be far from the end." Feng An roared.

After learning that his four sons had died, Feng An's anger was ignited, and now he wished he could kill those pirates with his own hands.

"General Feng, we need to take a long-term view on the matter of piracy. The most important thing at present is to develop routes and detect all the islands near us so that merchants can enter Lingnan." Wang Ping'an reminded.

"You don't need to remind me, the old man knows what to do. I'm leaving first." Feng An seemed sad and angry because of his son's death, and took Feng's children back to Gaozhou directly.

"Master, will General Feng do something stupid if he is so angry?" Gu Han asked worriedly.

"Just him? Hmph, he has a so-called white son, will he be sad because of the death of a few sons? Besides, he has been in Lingnan for so long, and he will be so easily carried away by anger." Wang Pingan said coldly. Humph.

"Then what is he?" Gu Han asked puzzled.

Wang Pingan sneered and said, "He's acting. He probably plans to set up a naval base because he saw my naval base, but he just learned from others. The system inside is a core secret."

Gu Han nodded.

Wang Ping'an continued: "Gu Han, inform me, take a good rest today, and start exploring the sea tomorrow."

"Yes, the villain obeys."

In July of the sixth year of Zhenguan, under the order of Wang Ping'an, the Lingnan Navy went to sea to explore routes and draw charts.

Half a year later, the Lingnan Navy returned to Lingnan and told the world that they found a spice island in the sea, and the entire island was full of spices.There is also a copper mine, a silver mine.

All of a sudden, businessmen from the entire Tang Dynasty frantically ran to Lingnan, and rich merchants with big families and businesses sent people to be stationed in Lingnan.

Ordinary merchants also come to Lingnan to try their luck, to see if they can get some spices to sell back to their hometowns.

The imperial court even sent a large number of officials from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households to request the takeover of Silver Mine Island and Copper Mine Island.

Wang Pingan directly negotiated with the imperial court. The two islands could be given to the imperial court, but he wanted [-]% of the benefits. After Li Er learned about it, he personally ordered to scold Wang Pingan. In the end, he could only give Wang Pingan two benefits.

But Wang Ping'an didn't do it, he insisted on the benefits of the fourth level, or let them find the two islands by themselves.

In the end, the imperial court had no choice but to agree to give Wang Pingan three levels of benefits.He was willing to lead the way for those personnel from the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry to go to the two islands.

As for the Spice Island, it belonged to Wang Ping'an and no one dared to snatch it from Wang Ping'an, even Li Er didn't ask him for it.

Due to the continuous presence of merchants in Lingnan, inns, restaurants, shops and other industries began to be built.

In the beginning, the warehouses and houses that Wang Pingan ordered to build were also rented and bought by them.

The combined income of several items is higher than that of the imperial court, but he invested all the money in the Mo family and the public losers.

Wang Pingan told them the principle of steam, which made them realize a lot of things, and even gave them an idea to study steam engines, and let steam engines replace manpower.

Wang Pingan agreed with their ideas very much, let them go ahead with the experiment, and let him take care of the money.

Everyone thought that he was the richest person in the entire Tang Dynasty now, but they didn't know that he was actually the poorest person in the entire Tang Dynasty.

In the same year, Datang Academy started school. As a manager of Datang Academy, Wang Pingan returned to Chang'an on the day the school started.

In the first year, for the sake of Wang Ping'an and Li Er, almost all the ministers sent a concubine who didn't pay much attention.But I didn't expect that the education system of Datang Academy is completely different from the existing education system, and the knowledge learned is also different.

After the school break for the first semester, all the parents asked their sons, what did the school teach them?
They answered exactly the same, they learned almost everything, and they also assigned them summer homework to help their father with an official business.

All the parents had the same disdainful attitude, but they still satisfied their children a little bit and entrusted them with a simple official task.

However, if you don’t do it, you don’t know. When you do it, you are shocked. Not only did the students do it well, but they were also more accurate and perfect.

This made all parents start to pay attention to Datang Academy.

After the students and parents spread the word, in the second year, the number of students in Datang Academy suddenly increased by more than ten times.

After the 12th year of Zhenguan, the Mohists and the public losers worked together to invent the steam engine. The world's first steam engine was born. It was transported to Chang'an and dedicated to the imperial court. Wang Pingan used the steam engine to weave cloth and sweaters, etc. Great success.

Because of the emergence of the steam engine, Empress Changsun released a large number of labor force, which made the prestige of Changsun even higher.

The fact that Wang Pingan owned a steam engine spread like wildfire, and many industries that required a large amount of labor came to the door to order a steam engine, and some even ordered ten.Orders were placed ten years later.This made Wang Ping'an's initial investment slowly recovered.

In the same year, Wang Ping'an got married, and his wife was Feng Rou.It is estimated that on that day, people from all over Chang'an came to Lingnan to celebrate Wang Ping'an.

In the second year, Feng Rou gave birth to a son named Wang Yun.

In the same year, Li Erci granted Wang Ping'an the title of King of Lingnan.

In the 14th year of Zhenguan, the first steam engine ship came out, and the whole ship was made of steel, which greatly accelerated the speed of the ship, and at the same time strengthened the strength of the Lingnan Navy.

In the 16th year of Zhenguan, the Lingnan Navy discovered a new island suitable for human habitation. Wang Pingan began to implement his long-term plan, sending people to Chang'an, and asking each minister to send a son to the new island.

After several years of development, it already has the scale of a big city.The new island was designated as a safety island. Anyone in Tang Dynasty who felt that he was in danger could come to the safety island. Even Li Er knew about the safety island, but he did not extend his power there.

Because the families of all the residents on the safety island are in Datang, and they will only leave a root for the family on the safety island.

After the invention of the steam engine, Wang Pingan introduced the concept of the steam train to the Mohists and the public losers, and he also sent a large number of people to inspect the territory of the Tang Dynasty to see where the train could pass.And organize a large number of people to start building the rails.

After five years of research, the steam train was finally developed.Wang Ping'an also began laying railroad tracks.

Finally, in the 18th year of Zhenguan, trains became popular throughout the country. After more than ten years of development, Datang became famous all over the world, and the goal of Datang traveling all over the world was achieved.

In the 20th year of Zhenguan, when Li Er invited Wang Pingan to go out to sea together, suddenly a dragon sucking water appeared in the sea and swallowed Li Er's boat.

At that time, the people on the boat felt dizzy and didn't know what happened. After the phenomenon of the dragon absorbing water was over, everyone was safe and sound, but Wang Ping'an was gone. Wang Ping'an was left in his original seat. The mobile phone that I brought with me at the beginning.
