Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

As for the courtiers, they are also very happy. Their highness, the crown prince, finally stopped leading troops to beat people, so this year's harvest can be saved.

It's just that they are in a hurry, no one has thought of - when the court needs Li You, they will cry at that time!

……

At this time, Weihaiwei was bare, with only a very small fishing village, and this place was not called "Weihaiwei".

I heard that the prince was traveling, from the top officer of Shandong House to the local top officer, all the way with him.

When they followed the prince's footsteps to this bare place, they all became puzzled... What is His Royal Highness doing?

"His Royal Highness, this should be the place you mentioned."

The local officials said cautiously to the most famous and honorable crown prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Since leading troops to wipe out many surrounding countries one after another, Li You has increasingly become synonymous with "God of War" and "hero" in the minds of the Tang people.

Even remote small officials far from the center of power regarded His Royal Highness as an idol, and now that they were finally able to meet, they were naturally cautious and cautious.

The small villages in front of them are all fishermen who make a living by fishing. Where have they ever seen such a big battle?

What's more, the inside and outside of the village had already been carefully searched by the local officials who knew that His Royal Highness was about to arrive.

If they can't guess that something big is about to happen, then these fishermen may be really fools.

"Is that the esteemed Crown Prince?"

"Sure enough, it is a dragon and a phoenix among people!"

"It looks much better than the picture!"

The fishermen gathered outside the village and looked towards this side, envious of Li You and the dignitaries in their fresh clothes.

"Mom, one day I will become that person too!" A child pointed at Li You and said to his mother.

The mother nodded, but hugged her child firmly, slightly afraid of those Tang Jun who were holding sharp swords and spears.

After all, if this is the case in a harsh era, it might be seen as having the following intentions.

"...this place is just right, it's nice."

Li You looked around the coastline and found that it was a good place to park warships. Even in the face of violent storms, as long as the warships sailed into the natural sheltered bay here, it would be very safe.

If you need to fight, you can drive out very quickly, you can attack when you are close, and you can defend when you retreat.

"Gu is here to build a naval base." Li You said.

"navy?"

The local officials were quite surprised, the navy... Could it be the navy?

But the navy of the Tang Dynasty has always been the most incompetent arm of the Tang Dynasty, which can be said to be the shame of the Tang Dynasty.

And they are very unfamiliar with the term "military base".

"That's right, it's the navy, and it's under the control of Chang'an." Li You said with certainty (do Li Hao).

The local officials immediately no longer doubted, after all, the relationship between the prince and the prince is very harmonious, which can be said to be known to the entire Tang Dynasty.

Anyway, the entire Tang Dynasty will sooner or later belong to His Royal Highness, so why is there any need to lie to them?

It's just that even the navy is an army, and they are a little uncomfortable with this army built here but not under their control.

As the saying goes, military disasters are like bandit disasters, and they can't get any good things related to them, and if something bad happens, the shit pot may be tied to their heads!

"Don't worry, lonely soldiers and horses have always been serious about themselves."

Li You didn't know the thoughts of these local snakes, and explained: "From today, this land will not be under your direct jurisdiction, and you can report directly to Chang'an if there is any situation."

Chapter 1084 The realm above the Martial Saint!

Several officials then nodded reassuringly and said yes.

"Just what do these fishermen do?" asked a local official.

Building a naval base requires manpower and necessary logistical support. Li You thought about it and said, "These people are all registered in the military, so let's stay here."

"Yes!"

Several craftsmen of the Tang Academy of Sciences hired most of the strong laborers in the fishing village, and a miniature version of the Tang Academy of Sciences was built in a short time.

The plaque of "Pacific Rim Company" inscribed by Li You himself was also hung up.

Because the imperial court refused to pay and only delegated power, this "Pacific Rim Company" has actually become the world's first trans-oceanic institution operated jointly by public and private individuals.

The public is the court of the Tang Dynasty, and the private is the famous Li's Chamber of Commerce, the oldest public-private partnership in human history!

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the shipyard has been built.

The supporting gunpowder production, as well as some primary processing lathes, were also perfectly copied by other craftsmen from the Tangke 140 Institute Factory who came to support the construction next to the shipyard for use by the shipyard.

The shipbuilding company itself has begun to operate normally, and newly recruited soldiers and horses have also come from all directions and gathered in Weihaiwei.

The work of training the navy and building ships has begun to progress steadily. Li You believes that in time, a huge Tang fleet will sail out of this small harbor and conquer the world!

Since it was okay to stay here, after arranging everything properly, Li You returned to Chang'an alone.
