Di Renjie is fifteen years old this year and is already an upright man. Since Wang Xuance left with Li Shen,
He left some affairs of the Japanese state to Di Renjie, mainly the construction of the city.
Di Renjie stood up. He was very excited now. He finally participated in a formal meeting in the palace.
"Prince Qi, we bought a large piece of land in the Wa Kingdom near Silla.
This place is not very far from their Dazaifu and is close to the Hizen Domain. This place fully meets your requirements, Your Highness.
We can advance, attack, retreat or defend, and the place is so big, it's all wasteland, so we can build a city by ourselves.
At present, we are just enclosing a ten-mile radius and building a market first.
But it is our territory within a hundred miles.
The craftsmen recruited are also refugees recruited from Baekje and Goguryeo. They can only be responsible for firing bricks and cement within our walls and are not allowed to go out. "
After Di Renjie finished speaking, he looked at Li Shen and said,
And Li Shen also expressed his affirmation to Di Renjie very generously.
"Well, you did a good job, but you need to speed up, and I heard some people from the Japanese country said that they all came from Namba Port.
This Namba Port should be a very prosperous place. Do you know where Namba Port is? "
Li Shen is very familiar with Namba Port, and the reason is very simple, mainly because this name was mentioned in various time-travel novels he had read in his previous life.
Moreover, many novels use this place as the starting point to stir up troubles in the Japanese country.
So Li Shen is very interested in Namba Port.
"Back to your lord, Namba Port is an inland city." Di Renjie replied.
"What are you talking about, inland city, do you think I am stupid?
This is obviously a port city, and the Japanese people who came here all came by boat from Namba Port.
Can they still row boats on land? Li Shen said angrily.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment." After Di Renjie said that, he rushed out of the door. He also had a small courtyard in the outer courtyard of the palace.
He quickly took a map from his residence and placed it on the table.
"My lord, please see, this is Namba Port. Although it is a port city, it corresponds to the inland sea with islands on both sides.
This place is very close to their capital, and those who can come to our Datang to study are either rich or noble people.
That’s why they all boarded the ship from Namba Port, went out from here, and passed the place we bought,
Walk along the coast of Silla, Baekje, Goguryeo, and finally enter the mouth of the Yellow River and go upstream.
It would take them a month to reach Weishui River and then Chang'an. "
Di Renjie is very serious. This is the first time he has done such a big thing for the palace. This matter is related to the palace's strategic issues in a region.
So Di Renjie did a lot of homework.
Li Shen followed Di Renjie's finger and looked. Indeed, Namba Port is an inland port city on the inland sea.
Only after passing through a long and narrow sea area can you truly enter the sea.
Li Shen read it for a long time. He felt that the novel about his previous life was really nonsense.
Even if you occupy this place, you won't be able to achieve much.
As long as the Japanese country intercepts the strait for you, then you can only take the land route. How can it be possible to stir up trouble in the Japanese country with just a few men and horses?
Moreover, this place is very close to the capital of Japan, and Japan will not let you stir up trouble here.
Li Shen took another look at the place chosen by the palace. It was on the edge of the Japanese kingdom, very close to Silla, and not far from Dazaifu.
The Dazaifu is similar to the administrative organization of the governor's office and the governor's office. There must be many powerful people in it.
It is connected in all directions, making it convenient for Li Shen's fleet to move, and the place is large, so it is indeed a good place.
"Well, this place is really good. We need to develop here first and slowly grow.
First build a city and then expand it bit by bit.
Huaiying, since you are in charge of the Japanese country, I will officially hand over the Japanese plan to you.
I ask you to act quickly. If you are short of manpower, you can recruit some poor local people locally.
Or let the fleet transport craftsmen from Goguryeo.
I have only one request. Within one year, I want to see this city completed.
When the time comes, the king will send soldiers to protect it in the name of bodyguard.
This is your preliminary work. After it is completed, I will tell you the later work. "
Li Shen prepared to give Di Renjie a test, which was also a kind of affirmation for him.
He has learned a lot from Wang Xuance in the past two years, but he has never completed the task alone.
Di Renjie was extremely excited after hearing Li Shen's words. From this moment on, he also had the opportunity to squeeze into the fourth giant among the giants in Prince Ji's palace.
"Your Majesty, I request that I go to Japan in person to supervise this matter.
It's also a good idea to stand up for the prince. "
Di Renjie bowed.
Li Shen frowned. He understood Di Renjie's eagerness to make contributions, but Li Shen still felt uneasy about going to the Japanese country alone.
After all, Di Renjie was still young, only fifteen years old. If something happened to him, how could Li Shen compensate him for a son.
"Huaiying, I know how much you want to work for the palace, but the country of Japan is far away.
Moreover, it is still at sea, where there are unpredictable weather conditions, and sea navigation is extremely dangerous.
I don’t want you to take risks. " Li Shen persuaded.
"Your Majesty, there is only one steward of Prince Ji's Mansion in Japan, and he is from Huangzhuang.
If there is no one to supervise, nothing can go wrong.
I know that Your Highness is worried about your safety, but I, Aye, have taught you since I was a child.
The man has ambitions in all directions, and I have thought carefully before making the request. Please give me a chance. "
Di Renjie's attitude is very tough.
"Alas~~" Li Shen sighed.
"Huaiying, after you ask your father, you will reply to me tomorrow. I really don't want you to go.
The Japanese country is a barbarian land, and there are often some rogue bandits.
You are not married yet. If something happens to you, how will I explain it to you?
Go and ask Aye. "Li Shen could only say this.
"Thank you, His Highness Prince Ji." Di Renjie thanked him. He knew that although his father was not worried, he knew that this was an opportunity.
If things go well this time, Di Renjie will join the ranks of the four giants in Prince Ji's palace.
From now on, my career can be said to be smooth and prosperous, with great ambitions.
Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.
Next it was Wang Xuance's turn, because Wang Xuance had been following Li Shen to the Guangdong Governor's Mansion for several months.
So nothing happened.
Li Shen said to Wang Xuance:
"Xuance, send someone to Fuzhou as fast as possible, notify the pirate group, and put on a show.
Hijack five cargo ships and then send people to publicize it in crowded places at Fuzhou Port.
Just say that Prince Ji's money transport ship was hijacked by a pirate group, and then notify Zhao Laosi,
He asked his people not to move along the coast of the Tang Dynasty within three months. The imperial court was preparing to clear out the Japanese pirates.
Let them go to Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla and rob some merchant ships.
As long as people don't want things, there are too many people on Pirate Island, which is not a good thing. "
