I really just want to lose my fortune

"Okay, keep arguing." Jia Xu said loudly, "Let those pirates watch the excitement, and let them take advantage of your arguing to continue attacking you next time, because you are really vulnerable!"

"If you can work together, who can tear a hole in you?"

Jia Xu got off his horse and waved.

I saw that the cavalry behind threw out more than a dozen Japanese pirates who were captured alive.

Looking at these Japanese pirates, the villagers stopped arguing.

Their eyes were all on those Japanese pirates, wishing they could eat their flesh alive!

Jia Xu smiled inwardly.

After tonight, the problem of disunity and disobedience among the tribes in Nanhai County has been resolved.

As for how many people died?How many women and children are there?Jia Xu didn't care.

Chapter 194

At the same time, Qin Ge and others had arrived at the shipyard.

This shipyard is huge in scale and covers an extremely wide area, and there are countless large ships floating on the sea.

There are heavy guards here, no matter how much the Japanese pirates are in trouble, the troops here will not be sent out.

It can be seen how much the imperial court attaches importance to this shipyard.

"My lord, I'm Xialu Changfeng, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, who is in charge of this shipbuilding project." A middle-aged man has already received the official letter and is waiting for Qin Ge at the entrance of the shipyard early.

Lu Changfeng couldn't figure it out, why did the prince come to see the shipyard in this weather, what a pain.

Obviously, Qin Ge couldn't use a substitute this time, so he had to come in real.

After all, the person in this shipyard is not a petty official, but a serious industrial servant, a third-rank official, who has met Qin Ge.

"Lord Lu, you've worked hard." Qin Ge cupped his hands at him, "I never thought it would rain today, but I'm going to trouble you, Master Lu."

"No trouble, no trouble." Lu Changfeng said hastily, "This is what a subordinate official should do."

"My lord, please."

With that said, several people entered the shipyard.

Seeing the large ships being built, with muzzles, tests, etc., Qin Ge felt a little dizzy.

Is it possible to do this in this day and age?

These big ships are sharp weapons in naval warfare.

As long as the country is not closed to the outside world, no matter how far the foreign countries have developed, the Great Qin of this era is still ahead of the world.

"My lord, please take a look. This is the main ship for this trip, a large three-masted lucky boat." Lu Changfeng took Qin Ge and the others aboard, and introduced them a little bit: "The wood used for this boat is extremely exquisite, and it can withstand wind and rain. Not afraid of the waves, equipped with the latest cannons from Shenjiying, the crew has been carefully selected, will not get seasick, equipped with long knives and firecrackers, and the guides are all experienced navigators..."

"These crew members are all from the army. If they meet some small countries that want to commit crimes after they settle down, they can become the army at any time..."

"The nautical chart has been checked many times, and a safe route has been found. This voyage will definitely arouse our Qin Guowei."

It was alright at first, but when it came to the end, Qin Ge couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

But what Qin Ge can be sure of is that it is indeed no problem for this thing to go to sea.

Whether it's carrying people, carrying artillery, or what.

After visiting for two full hours, Qin Ge felt dizzy and had already arrived at a resting place to drink tea.

"My lord, are you satisfied with this project?" Lu Changfeng said with some pride.

This shipyard is definitely his most satisfying work.

In this regard, the imperial court has never neglected the appropriation of funds.

"Lord Lu, I see something wrong with the list of people going to sea."

At this time, Liu Bowen spoke.

"Huh? What's wrong? It's all carefully selected by the imperial court." Lu Changfeng was stunned for a moment.

"For example, take a look here." Liu Bowen pointed to the names of the people and said, "Aren't these all businessmen from Jingzhou aristocratic families? Are the loads they carry a bit excessive?"

"This..." Lu Changfeng raised his eyebrows: "This is ordered by Empress Wu herself. The loads they carry are all in compliance with the regulations and have not exceeded the standard."

"Isn't that the standard set by the imperial court at the beginning? I've seen the documents brought in. The standard of each person's weight and entourage has only been changed in the past two years." Liu Bowen smiled and said: "I don't know what is the reason for this change. In order to promote the prestige of our country, or let some people fill their own pockets?"

He doesn't know anything about shipbuilding, but finding fault doesn't necessarily require professional knowledge.

Liu Bowen's posture seems to be layman's guidance. He knows that his own actions are harmful to going out to sea, but each is his own. What he wants is to let Qin Ge find a way to investigate the shipping matter, and help Qin Ge get some boat out.

"Mr., you can't say that. When building a ship two years ago, many things were theoretical, and there was no practice at all. In the past two years, the shipbuilding has been striving for perfection. In addition, some things to be carried are different. The hull has also gone through many years. This improvement cannot be judged according to the previous standard." Lu Changfeng explained.

"In short, this matter must be investigated. The matter of going to sea is related to my great Qin Guowei, so I can't be neglected." Liu Bowen shook his head: "If there is a problem, it must be solved on land, otherwise, who knows what will happen at sea?"

"On this matter, I absolutely dare not neglect." Lu Changfeng frowned and said, "Everything I do is in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court."

"And these..." Liu Bowen took out two more brochures: "The wood and waterproof materials used for the 35 ships were not designated by the imperial court."

"It's... just some insignificant beds and wood for the deck. There was a drought at that time, and a lot of wood couldn't be brought in. The court also required a construction period, so I can only use this." Lu Changfeng said hastily. .

"But this is unqualified!" Liu Bowen spread his hands and said, "Don't care what kind of wood is used. How can the standards set by Master Song be changed at will because of the construction period?"

"If there is an accident at sea, who will be responsible?"

"The soldiers are all loyal and put their lives on top of it. If your lord can't be perfect and cause them to die in a foreign land, shouldn't lord Lu pay the compensation?"

"Also, if an accident happens to one ship, implicating the entire fleet and ruining Daqin's decades-long plan, I wonder if Lord Lu's Nine Clans will be able to pay for it?"

"This..." Lu Changfeng frowned slightly.

This man is very rude, and he talks in a way.

Whoever checks, it is impossible to do exactly the same as the regulations!

Qin Ge was also a little helpless, now Liu Bowen was completely picking on the bones in the egg, a little bit picky.

standardization?Even later generations would not be able to achieve it before Ying Jiang's guidance!

Qin Ge believed that these boats should not have been tampered with, and the problem was that those who went to sea wanted to enrich their own pockets.

However, if you don't pick faults hard, you can't give Gan Ning Chuan to let him go to sea to make money.

"Phew, these things have already been reported and the imperial court has approved them. I have a clear conscience." Lu Changfeng said sonorously.

These big boats are like his children.

Is it easy for me to build such a large fleet for so many years?

Anyway, any problems have been reported, and the above has agreed, and there is absolutely no problem in the procedure.

"Okay, if that's the case, the lord has to confront the court here." Liu Bowen said: "I'm afraid the original date of going to sea will be changed."

"What?" Lu Changfeng's expression changed.

"Safety first." Liu Bowen said with a smile: "Also, the people on board and the goods they carry must be strictly checked!"

"Since His Majesty entrusts this task to the prince, the prince can't be perfunctory."

Chapter 195 Mistake?

After saying goodbye to Lu Changfeng, Qin Ge and others came to the place provided for them to rest.

There were only Qin Ge and Liu Bowen in the whole room, and the others were guarding outside to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Qin Ge's army was stationed near the shipyard, and they couldn't get in. This was someone else's place, so we had to be careful.

"My lord, so many requests from my subordinates this time have already affected the fleet's going out to sea." Liu Bowen looked at Qin Ge solemnly: "I don't know if my lord is ready to face Wu Meiniang's direct line?"

"It's already started. They even used troops and killers, but they failed." Qin Ge said.

"Well, the imperial court will definitely want to calm down this shipping matter and prevent the prince from pursuing it." Liu Bowen said: "The chain of interests involved here is too huge, and it cannot be easily touched by anyone, even His Majesty. Weigh it."

"So, my main purpose of waiting for this match is to see what benefits I can gain from it, not to fight them to the end."

"When their people come, I'm afraid they will use all kinds of means, and even mobilizing the army again is not impossible."

"However, they will take into account the public identity of the prince and the face of the royal family. They will not make it clear, but they can be pushed to the Japanese pirates or the perverted people."

"If the prince wants to get a share of the pie, he must hold on to it this time."

"Don't worry, since you want to move this shipping, it's impossible without paying the price." Qin Ge said: "This king knows it well."

"Do you think there is something wrong with Lu Changfeng?"

"Heh, it doesn't matter whether he has any problems. The benefits of shipping are too great, and he, a minister of the Ministry of Industry, can't control it at all." Liu Bowen sighed: "My lord, this shipyard has [-] troops, so it's better to be careful."

…………

Early the next morning, when the rain was less powerful, Qin Ge and others returned to Panyu City.

Qin Ge had just arrived at the gate of the palace when he saw Jia Xu and Huang Chang kneeling there.

Qin Ge's expression changed. Why is Jia Xu kneeling here?

Also, the sheriff of a county, this is not a petty official, he knelt no matter what.

Liu Bowen was also a little confused, what happened?Could it be...

Liu Bowen's expression changed.

Qin Ge hurried forward and said to Jia Xu: "Wen He please get up quickly, what happened?"

"My lord." Jia Xu cried bitterly, and shouted: "Yesterday, Japanese pirates harassed and plundered everywhere. Thirty-two villages were affected. Seventy percent of the people in the village that the lord wants to build died. I am incompetent!"

After finishing speaking, Jia Xu bent over and hit the ground heavily with his fist.

Qin Ge and the others felt a chill rise from behind.

Cai Wenji clenched her fists tightly, Yang Yanqi's eyes seemed to burst into flames.

Zhao Yun and Cheng Yaojin stationed soldiers outside the city, but did not enter the city.

"So many people died?" Cai Wenji's voice trembled a little: "Yesterday, didn't yesterday's arrangements be good?"

"When the two hundred cavalrymen were on patrol, they were bedridden and failed to hand over the soldier talisman to Huang Junshou immediately. By the time Huang Junshou led the soldiers to rescue, it was already too late!" Jia Xu cried bitterly.

"Don't blame Mr. Jia." Huang Chang said in a deep voice, "Mr. Jia's layout is fine. The routes for cavalry patrols are the villages that are most likely to be harassed by Japanese pirates. If it weren't for Mr. Jia, more villages would be attacked by Japanese pirates." Looting."

On the bright side, no one can see the flaws in Jia Xu's arrangement. If you insist on saying it, it is a hundred secrets and one sparse.

The only mistake Jia Xu made was to disperse the [-] soldiers who had previously guarded the city to see if the tribes in other places were willing to cooperate.

This point, from a long-term strategic point of view, is no problem, but this virtually gave the Japanese pirates an opportunity to take advantage of.

Hearing what the two said, the corners of Qin Ge's mouth twitched.

Jia Xu is incompetent?Jia Xu made a mistake?

Qin Ge would rather believe that Cheng Yaojin quit drinking than this!

What Qin Ge couldn't figure out before, now he has figured it all out. Jia Xu is using countless lives to unite those tribes!

Those tribes were not united before, and they were temporarily tied together by giving them common interests.

Those tribes are only bound by their interests... It's actually useless, because someone has tried.

But let them have a common enemy?Let them have a deep hatred for Japanese pirates!

Countless of their relatives, friends, and lovers died at the hands of Japanese pirates!

They will hate the court for not doing enough, but they will also hate the Japanese pirates even more.

This is the second time Qin Ge has experienced the terror of a poisoner.

When Li Ru made a fuss in Handan, except for a few servants who were released by Qin Ge after finishing his speech, the rest of the aristocratic family killed everyone.

But Jia Xu just made a small plan, so that those tribes had to board the imperial ship and had to fight against the Japanese pirates.

The time is short and the effect is quick, this is the strategy of poisoners!

"So many died?" Liu Bowen only felt that his hands and feet were cold.

The aunts who chatted with me, the young and strong who taught them how to do business and cut trees, and the old people who clarified the powerful relationship.

This time, [-]% of them died?

Liu Bowen's body swayed, and I am sure that within three months they will get on the right track and unite them. This time... have so many been killed by Japanese pirates?
