Chapter 536 Lucky General

After a long conversation with Jia Yao, Yun Zheng also made a decision in his heart.

He doesn't want Ga Yao's life for the time being.

The biggest advantage of Jiayao is that she has a longer-term vision than others in Beihuan. Moreover, she has the people of Beihuan in her heart and is unwilling to use the people of Beihuan as cannon fodder.

As long as she doesn't make any mistakes, Beihuan will bring more benefits to Daqian.

But if something happens to her, he will really use cruel methods.

Although Jia Yao's affairs were settled, the extravagant life in Yunzheng's fantasy had not yet come.

Even with Ye Zi and the others helping with government affairs, he was approached by various matters all day long. He had to make decisions on many matters, which made Yun Zheng even want to send people to the imperial city to kidnap a few officials to Shuobei. .

Yun Zheng has not forgotten about going to sea.

However, before going to sea, a port must be built first.

As for the ship, Yun Zheng doesn't plan to build it himself for the time being. On the one hand, there are too few shipbuilding craftsmen in Shuobei, and on the other hand, it takes too long to build the ship by himself.

During this time, send people to Yizhou, Yuzhou and other places to purchase large merchant ships.

First bring back the high-yielding crops you obtained, and then think about building large warships and the like.

Yun Zheng still plans to leave this matter to Zhang Xu after he comes back.

After lunch, just when Yun Zheng was about to take a break and chat about romantic affairs with his woman, Xin Sheng came to report that Zhang Xu had rushed back from Gubian.

Got it!

Yunzheng shrugged, his beautiful lunch break life was in ruins again.

Soon, Yun Zheng saw Zhang Xu and Mingyue who had rushed back from their travels.

The two of them used to have a lot of quarrels, but now they are fighting each other.

"I have met His Highness!"

The two of them bowed as soon as they saw Yun Zheng.

"Okay, okay."

Yunzheng waved his hand, "Mingyue, go find your senior sister, Zhang Xu and I will go out to the backyard for a walk."

"Ah."

Mingyue nodded happily and immediately ran to find Miaoyin.

Yun Zheng took Zhang Xu to the backyard and asked, "Have you finished the work in the workshop?"

"done!"

Zhang Xu nodded and smiled, "The workshop for making briquettes is near the kiln. Anyway, the kiln also needs a lot of mud and peat, so there is no need to worry! By the way, I also made the thing that His Highness mentioned. "

"So fast?"

Yun Zheng was surprised.

This guy's hands-on ability is really strong!

"That one is so simple!"

Zhang Xu looked proud, "However, I'm just making it out of wood now, and it doesn't feel very durable. I've already asked someone to send the prototype to the forging workshop. I'll show it to His Highness once the iron one is ready..."

"Great!"

Yun Zheng gave Zhang Xu a thumbs up, sincerely admiring him.

In the eyes of others, Zhang Xu may not be doing his job properly.

But in his eyes, Zhang Xu is a great talent!

In defeating Beihuan, Zhang Xu can be said to have taken the greatest credit.

Without the help of this God of Wealth to make money, how could there be so much military expenditure!

In the future, Zhang Xu might be called the father of industry in Shuobei!

Well, I will have to find an official position for Zhang Xu later.

It sounds high-end and very intimidating.

The grade should also be high.

He doesn't need Zhang Xu to handle government affairs.

It is not easy for Zhang Xu to take care of this situation.

In this way, it will be easier for Zhang Xu to deal with people in the future.

Zhang Xu chuckled, "It's all thanks to His Highness, I'm just a handyman."

"Stop flattering!"

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Let's talk about business first!"

With that said, Yunzheng and Zhang Xu found a place to sit down in the backyard and talked to him about buying a merchant ship.

Yunzheng didn't have any specific requirements, but he just wanted to be big and able to withstand wind and waves!

It’s best to buy three if possible.

After all, we are going to the sea, so we must bring more people with us.

Otherwise, as soon as you arrive, you might be killed by the local indigenous people.

He had already written a memorial and planned to ask Emperor Wen to send him some navy personnel and warships.

Anyway, Daqian doesn't pay much attention to the navy, so when he comes here, he can still play some role.

However, he didn't know whether Emperor Wen would be so generous.

Therefore, it would be best if Zhang Xu could buy a navy warship.

Of course, this is just a bold idea, not forced.

"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to ship a warship, isn't it?"

Zhang Xu touched his chin and said, "Let's go buy a navy warship. If the Lord knows about it, he won't slap us?"

That's a warship!

This is not something anyone can buy if they want!

"It doesn't matter whether you smoke or not."

Yun Zheng smiled nonchalantly, "Anyway, our navy is a stepmother's child. Maybe someone dares to sell the warship privately? If there is a chance, you can tell them that if they directly drive the navy's When warships come to Shuobei, military pay will be doubled, and everyone from ordinary soldiers to generals will be rewarded!"

Hearing Yun Zheng's words, Zhang Xu suddenly had a dark look on his face.

Your Highness the Sixth Prince really dares to think!

Still want to pry into his father's wall?

Is he really not afraid that his father will come to Shuobei to whip him again?

Zhang Xu thought for a while, frowned and said: "Those people all have families. I guess it is relatively unlikely that they will directly sail a warship to join His Highness..."

"They can bring their families with them!"

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "That's the idea anyway, if it works, forget it if it doesn't! I didn't have much hope in the first place! In addition, we can recruit shipbuilding craftsmen from the Guild, and the treatment will definitely be much better than what they are doing now."

"Okay, then I've got it figured out!"

Zhang Xu readily agreed and was about to say something, but suddenly stopped.

Seeing Zhang Xu's hesitant expression, Yun Zheng couldn't help but wonder, "Just say what you want to say! Why are you hesitating?"

Zhang Xu hesitated for a moment, and then said sheepishly: "Your Highness, the big businessmen I know know that I have a good relationship with you. Some time ago, someone came to me and wanted to ask me to help his son find a job in Shuobei. , I was so excited at the time that I wanted to show off in front of others, so I agreed..."

Looking for an official position?

Yun Zheng's heart moved.

Suddenly, Yun Zheng seemed to have caught something, and he quickly tried his best to catch the flash of inspiration in his mind.

Seeing Yun Zheng's expression, Zhang Xu panicked and quickly explained: "Your Highness, don't worry, I will definitely confiscate that person's benefits. Originally, he wanted to give me 30,000 taels of silver, but I don't have even one tael of silver..."

"Ha ha……"

Yunzheng's sudden laughter interrupted Zhang Xu's words.

Zhang Xu's voice stopped suddenly and he looked at Yunzheng in confusion.

Why is His Highness laughing again?

Wasn't he angry just now?

Just when Zhang Xu was confused, Yun Zheng's claws hit Zhang Xu heavily on the shoulder.

"You're such a damn blessing!"

Yun Zheng laughed endlessly, showing no signs of anger at all.

"Fu...Fu General?"

Zhang Xu's eyes widened in astonishment and he looked at Yun Zheng with confusion on his face.

How did I become a lucky general again?

What does this have to do with Fu Jiang?

Zhang Xu even wondered if Yun Zheng was going to give him some credit or something.

However, Yunzheng is now the governor of Shuobei, and all officials are appointed by themselves. There is no need to give himself credit, right?

"You helped me solve a problem that had been giving me a headache for several days!"

Yun Zheng laughed, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of this solution!"

"what?"

Zhang Xu was puzzled, "What's the problem? What's the solution?"

I couldn’t understand a word he said!

“We’ll talk about it in detail later!”

Yun Zheng was in a good mood and stood up immediately, "Come here! Ask Madam Zi and several deacons from the palace to come to the backyard, and ask my mother-in-law to come too!"
