Chapter 44 Yuezhou City Bo Division Xu Daoshen retreated, and Du He asked, "Your Highness, is this person credible?"
” "It should be fine, at least I don't see any flaws in his expression."
Li Zhen said: "Besides, there is no need for him to lie at such a time, after all, such a big thing as the assassination of Shi Shi has probably spread throughout Yuezhou, even if he lied to us, this reason is too clumsy, right?"
” Fang Yiai said even more confidently: "And we have the Blood Dragon Guard, what secrets can the entire Lingnan hide from us?"
” "That's right."
Du He nodded and said, wait for the shore to verify with the Blood Dragon Guard, and then naturally everything will be clear.
The fleet soon docked, but an awkward incident arose, as the fleet was too large for the port of Yuezhou to accommodate.
In desperation, Li Zhen had no choice but to order the fleet to take turns to unload the cargo, and the empty ships could only go to the Yuezhou Shipyard to anchor temporarily.
Fortunately, the scale of the Yuezhou shipyard is not inferior to that of the Dengzhou shipyard, otherwise these ships would have to be scattered and berthed.
"Really, I even have to go to the shipyard to anchor."
While helping to unload the goods, Fang Yiai shouted dissatisfiedly: "I don't think this Yuezhou is prosperous, even Hangzhou is not as good, and it is the largest city in Lingnan." ” "General Fang, don't complain, we are already the largest port in the entire Lingnan except Quanzhou."
Xu Daoshen hurriedly smiled bitterly: "No one thought that His Highness's fleet would be so large, we are here in Lingnan, when have we ever seen such a huge fleet?"
Usually, this port is enough for cargo ships from several surrounding states, and there is even room for it, and it has never received so many ships at one time. ” "No way, who made shipping so underdeveloped at this time.
And along the way, our ship was somewhat damaged, so it was just time to send it for maintenance.
Li Zhen shook his head and said, in the final analysis, it is caused by the underdevelopment of the shipping industry at this time, if the potential of Yuezhou Port is really fully explored, the throughput is not a joke, plus Quanzhou, the entire Lingnan can become the economic center of Datang in an instant.
It's a pity that the navigation at this time is just a small fight, most of them are short-distance offshore shipping, I am afraid that Li Zhen sailed all the way from Dengzhou to Yuezhou this time, which is already an unprecedented feat in the eyes of others.
The real development of the maritime industry was still in the Song Dynasty.
It was also the development of the navigation industry that led to the Song Dynasty becoming the most prosperous dynasty in history, so that by the time of the Celestial Empire, the per capita GDP value did not exceed that of the Song Dynasty.
It's a pity that the Song Dynasty is too soft, obviously has the money to fight the world, but it doesn't have the guts, just waving a lot of money to buy peace everywhere, but he doesn't know that doing so will only attract more hungry wolves to peep, and the final outcome is also destroyed by the Jin State.
The remnants of the imperial family finally fled to the south and built a small court to survive, not only did not repent and recover the lost land, but instead intensified their self-destruction of the Great Wall, and finally died under the iron hooves of the Great Yuan, which is really sad and ridiculous.
Li Zhen sometimes thought like this in his previous life, if the money of the Song Dynasty was added to the combat power of the Tang Dynasty, I don't know what kind of chemical reaction would be generated?
There is no doubt that no one in the world will ever be a rival to Datang – even if all the countries in the world except Datang are combined.
Now that he has come to this era, Li Zhen naturally will not let go of such an opportunity, he really wants to verify his ideas.
This is the idea he has had since he first walked through, and all this he has done is to move towards this goal, and Lingnan is the first step he has taken.
"Your Highness, what do you want?"
"I'm wondering, is it the top priority to expand the port of Yuezhou?"
Li Zhenxin made up an excuse: "Yuezhou's next main focus is shipping, and infrastructure construction can't be delayed." ” "That's for sure."
Fang Yiai said as a matter of course: "It's just such a small port, even our small fleet of 100 ships can't accommodate it, so if the fleet of thousands of ships in your mouth comes, Your Highness, won't you blow up this small port?"
” "Then I'll leave this matter to you.
I will now appoint you as the city envoy of the Yuezhou Shipping Division, responsible for all overseas affairs in Yuezhou, and have the right to manage merchant ships, collect customs duties, investigate smuggling, and buy imported materials.
It's a very oily position, so you have to do it well.
Well, it's imperative to fix your port first.
Li Zhen said casually, and after speaking, she turned around and unloaded. “......
Isn't this just a bookkeeper?
Fang Yiai pondered for a long time, but found that although this so-called city envoy sounded all kinds of lofty, but after thinking about it carefully, it was actually a head of the account, as for the so-called oil and water, he didn't care, and it was impossible for him to betray Li Zhen.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you can't treat me like this, you don't know that my arithmetic is not good, you let me do this, don't you make me make a joke?"
Fang Yiai was about to cry, and hurriedly caught up and pleaded: "Besides, with the ability of his subordinates, even if he can't be a big official, it's still okay to be a general, right?"
Now let me take care of this so-called city division, isn't that overkill?
” "I'm not joking, I'm serious, the city is very important to me, and now only you can support the operation of the city company."
Li Zhen is naturally serious, and the city is not a simple position.
Its status is equivalent to that of the customs of later generations, and needless to say, the customs is an all-round department that integrates the rights of tax collection, anti-smuggling, coastal defense, supervision, and inspection, and even has to be equipped with a special army.
And Li Zhen's city department is also preparing to be built in accordance with the customs, such an important department naturally cannot fall into the hands of others, only Li Zhen himself can reassure him.
However, among all Li Zhen's henchmen, Du He is responsible for assisting Li Zhen in his office, and Li Zhen is inseparable for the time being, Liu Renliang wants to train the navy, and Xue Rengui is responsible for exterminating the seven major forces in Lingnan; Xi Junmai is his deputy, and his education level is not good, and he can't sit on one side independently, and the prestige of the rest of the people is not enough to support the scene.
After thinking about it carefully, only Fang Yiai can be pulled out, first of all, as a fierce general, Fang Yiai lacks the ability to command, and Li Zhen already has Xue Rengui and Xi Jun in his hands to buy, and it is nothing to have one less Fang Yiai, second, Fang Yiai's government affairs ability is still very good, after all, there is a prime minister's father, and third, the city division itself also needs a certain amount of combat effectiveness, and with Fang Yiai in charge, Li Zhen can also rest assured.
Told Fang Yiai his thoughts, and Fang Yiai suddenly became proud: "It turns out that this city division is so important, then I will reluctantly help His Highness look at it first." ” "It's just Your Highness, I don't have anyone, if it's really like His Highness said, such an important department as the City Shipping Division, I can't support it alone, and you just told the function of the Municipal Shipping Division, if I let me build it alone, I don't have a clue."

"Don't worry about the manpower, I will arrange it for you, and ensure that all of them are talents who can be used immediately."
Li Zhen promised: "As for the planning plan of the City Division, I will hand it over to you later." ” "Then I'll be relieved, thank you, Your Highness."
Fang Yiai nodded and said, as long as there is someone, then help him solve half of the trouble.
"But Your Highness, I'll say okay first, I'm just helping you watch it temporarily, and if there is any battle in the future, you can't forget me."
Li Zhen hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, as long as you can build the city division for me, and then train a qualified successor, I will naturally return you to the army." ” After receiving Li Zhen's assurance, Fang Yiai was excited: "Great, then when will I take office?"
” "Right now."
Li Zhen said with a smile: "I'll sign a letter of appointment for you later, allocate money, and you can take office." ” "Yes, my subordinates will take office."
Fang Yiai went happily, looking at his enthusiastic appearance, Li Zhen could think that the construction of Yuezhou Port would definitely be a thousand miles in the future.
