Why do you say it started because of you?
Zheng Kunchang looked at Fang Jun with sad eyes and said: "It was the chief steward who handed over the glass trade routes of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla to His Highness King Qi. He made a lot of money from it, so he had unsatisfied desires and was not satisfied with anything. I just want to be a transit point, but I want to leave the merchants and personally form a fleet to sell glass in Liaodong. Do you think it is because of you?"
Fang Jun was speechless. He gave Qi King Li You this trade route. Essentially, he wanted to appease this restless master, lest he embark on the old path of rebellion like in history. Who knew that this man was indeed restless... …
Zheng Kunchang continued: "If it is just building a ship, under the threat of life and death, our Zheng family will not fight with death. Although we do not want to be a slave, we cannot bear it compared with our lives. But His Highness King Qi is not just If he wants to build a merchant ship, he also wants your drawings and a new type of warship! How dare our Zheng family agree? The King of Qi is unruly and is recruiting strong troops in Shandong. Who knows what he wants to do? What if he does it one day? If something serious happens, won't my Zheng family have to be buried with him?"
Fang Jun was shocked: "Recruiting strong soldiers? Is it hearsay, or is it true?"
Zheng Kunchang smiled bitterly and said: "If it wasn't true, how could I dare to mention this matter in front of the chief manager? The Zheng family cannot bear the serious crime of slandering the prince! The Zheng family is really desperate. No one in Shandong can resist disobeying His Highness the King of Qi. I have been in the capital for many years, but I have no connections, so I can only shamelessly beg in front of the chief manager to ask you to save the Zheng family from this misfortune. The whole family of the Zheng family is grateful!"
Fang Jun asked: "Has your family ever mentioned that you have an old relationship with me before?"
Naturally, he couldn't bear to see the Zheng family being forced into slavery. Moreover, Zheng Kun often knelt in front of him to beg for help. This face must be given and the matter must be done. However, the Zheng family mentioned his name Fang Jun but the King of Qi did not give him face. The Zheng family did not mention his relationship with Fang Jun. This is related to how Fang Jun should solve this problem.
Zheng Kunchang said dejectedly: "Old Man has mentioned it. In the capital, Old Man is only acquainted with the Chief Manager, so he boldly mentioned it once in front of King Qi. His Highness King Qi hesitated for a moment and seemed to loosen his mind. But several of his followers spoke loudly and tried to persuade him, which made King Qi change his mind again and still strictly ordered my family to become his slaves."
Fang Jun sighed: "The King of Qi is not kind to others and has no loyal people around him. Sooner or later, he will be dragged down by these bold and reckless people. It will be too late to regret!"
In history, Li You, the king of Qi, tried hard to persuade others to talk alarmistly after his cronies assassinated Quan Wanji. This made Li You afraid of being killed by His Majesty Li Er, so he raised the flag of rebellion.
As everyone knows, no matter how wrong he is, he is still the biological son of His Majesty Li Er, so he will inevitably be held responsible, but he will never be sentenced to death just because of Quan Wanji's death. On the contrary, the moment he rebelled, his fate of death was fully determined...
Fang Jun felt a deep sense of powerlessness. History naturally has its inevitability. It is the final change that is condensed by countless small and wonderful factors. It cannot be easily changed by one person.
Li You may go down the old path of seeking death, but what about Li Chengqian?
This soft-tempered little white rabbit prince is the best candidate for emperor. Only when the emperor is not strong can he do what he wants to do to the maximum extent. Otherwise, the next emperor will still be as controlling as His Majesty Li Er and want to do whatever he wants. It would be too difficult to do something.
Li Zhi?
History books say that Li Zhi was filial and kind, but according to Fang Jun's observation, that boy was a scheming young lady, full of evil ideas, and not a good bird...
Sighing, Fang Jun pondered for a moment, then knelt down to Zheng Kunchang, saying he couldn't ignore this matter. What's more, others may worry about Li You's identity, but Fang Juncai is not afraid! If you can beat him the first time, if that kid dares to bare his teeth, you can beat him the second time!
"Well, Laizhou is the fiefdom of King Qi after all, and I am beyond my reach. If Li You and his friends get involved, it will be too late. If you are willing, you can move the Zheng family to Huating Town, and I will The general office of Jiangnan Shipyard is handed over to you, and your family will settle down in Huating Town. Is that okay?"
Although the shipyard has not yet officially started construction, Fang Jun has already thought of a name for it, and it is called Jiangnan Shipyard. In fact, he originally wanted to call it "Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau". He had read a lot of Qingchuan's novels at the time, and he was very touched by this name that had placed the fervent hopes of countless Chinese people. But when I think of that painful history, I feel that it would be better to change it. Otherwise, wouldn’t the Royal Navy also be called the Beiyang Navy?
Beiyang Navy...
Even a hundred years later, the tragic and heroic ending of that legendary fleet is still hurting the hearts of generations of Chinese people!
Zheng Kun often heard Fang Jun's words and was immediately overjoyed!
Although he has left Laizhou, where his ancestors lived, Huating Town is a new town with a lot of waste waiting to be developed, and he can show his talents here. Besides, this is Fang Jun's fiefdom. No matter what changes happen to Fang Jun's official position in the future, this is Fang Jun's territory, and Fang Jun has the final say!
The Zheng family settled here and had no worries.
Moreover, he had already learned from Liang Renfang about the scale of Jiangnan Shipyard. It was a behemoth that was larger than the two Laizhou Shipyards! Being able to occupy the position of "General Office" can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
Zheng Kunchang immediately expressed his stance. After landing, he wrote books and returned to his hometown, and ordered his tribe to move to Huating Town immediately. Fang Jun will also send a letter to Li Youxiu at that time, pointing out that the Zheng family is his private property. If you want to build a ship, find someone else!
Although the property rights of the glass workshop belong to His Majesty Li Er, until now, all management has been decided by Fang Jun. No matter how messed up Li You is, he will not dare to openly oppose Fang Jun. If he offends Fang Jun and cuts off his glass supply, Then he built a shitty ship?
The warship returned successfully. Su Dingfang and others who got off the ship were full of pride. They felt that with such a fast, sturdy and outstanding warship, they could gallop freely on the vast sea in the future, and they all settled down to study how to adapt to the new style. Warship tactics.
King Wu Li Ke also sent over the two maids Zheng Xiuer and Xiuyu who had stayed with Fang Junlin when he went to Niuzhuji. After not seeing each other for many days, the two little maids not only did not look less haggard, but instead looked radiant and their figures seemed to be more bulging...
Fang Jun was a little bit disgusted and said displeasedly: "It seems that you two are enjoying your time in Shu. You can't see that I'm not worried at all. Did you forget that we are ugly when you see His Highness King Wu being so suave and handsome?" Boy? No conscience..."
The two little maids were so frightened that they turned pale and quickly explained.
Originally, when Fang Jun was surrounded by Niuzhuji, the two maids cried all day long and their eyes were swollen. They clamored to rush to Niuzhuji, and even if they died, they would die with Fang Jun. But how could King Wu Li Ke let them go?
Li Ke was a romantic person who favored himself and others. Fang Jun, who only had one room for concubines, must have brought these two beautiful little maids into his room. Although they were not called concubines, they had the actual status of being concubines. Now that Fang Jun is trapped in Niuzhuji, he lost his life at an unknown time, and there is no male and a half female heir behind him. It is inevitable to regret. Thinking of the fact that the two maids were with Fang Jun all the way, the energetic young man could not play happily every night. Maybe if he was lucky, he could grow jade in the blue field? He saw Fang Jun in dire straits in Niuzhuji but was helpless. If he could save Fang Jun's child, it would be able to alleviate the guilt in his heart a little.
Dozens of slaves and nuns guarded them every day. The two little maids completely lost their freedom and were caught even if they tried to run away secretly. They had to be trapped in the palace. They shed tears every day and could not sleep at night without thinking about food and tea. Extremely haggard.
Afterwards, the news came that Fang Jun not only successfully escaped from trouble, but also reversed the situation and won, the two little maids were relieved. With Li Ke's attention, who in the palace would dare to ignore it? Although they were just two maids, they were treated with the highest treatment from beginning to end. Every day, the maids were served in groups like clouds, and they were fed delicacies from the mountains and seas. They were forced to feed the two little girls until they became fat several times...
After listening to Fang Jun's words, Zheng Xiuer's face turned pale. She really thought that Fang Jun was angry, and she was so aggrieved that she had tears in her eyes and was extremely anxious.
