At Chuanshan Port outside Yongcheng, there is a seaway that goes straight into the inland. Many villages live on both sides of this dozens of miles long seaway. Alongside this, many ports are being built.
In addition to the port, several shipyards are also present here. Yunze was currently in front of a huge dock in one of the shipyards. There are two warships being renovated inside.
Beside him were Feng Batian, Feng Siniang, Feng Yujiao, and the person in charge of the shipyard. It was already half a month after the Hebrews and the two pirates were eliminated.
Yunze has more than a hundred warships in his possession, but these warships do not meet Yunze's requirements. Therefore, in order to build an indestructible naval fleet.
Yunze was preparing to renovate some warships, and Feng Batian was directly promoted to the commander-in-chief of the navy. Feng Batian was a little stunned by this official position, and he didn't know what level of official he was.
But what is somewhat certain is that he will command all the navy. Even if the navy expands, he will still be the commander. If the future navy is one hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, or even one million, so will he.
In other words, he can personally control an army, which definitely gives him the greatest trust. He was full of gratitude to Yunze.
He glanced at Yunze beside him, and then at his sister and daughter who were following Yunze. He had a headache again. He had been there, so of course he could see that both his daughter and his younger sister were interested in Yunze.
During the recent period, they had been almost inseparable from Yunze. Even though they knew that Yunze had a wife, they cared deeply about Yunze's life. He didn't know what Yunze was thinking. Anyway, there is no expression.
Of course he is willing to be related by marriage to Yunze, and I'm afraid even Yunze is willing. After all, only by being related by marriage can Yunze hand over such great power to him.
After all, no one is afraid that his subordinates may have second thoughts. Marriage is sometimes the best way to consolidate trust between the two parties.
However, the key question is whether the marriage should be between his sister or his daughter. Both the sister and the daughter have this intention.
But we can't let them all follow Yunze. You must know that they are aunt and nephew, Feng Siniang is his sister, and Feng Yujiao is his daughter.
Speaking of which, he and Feng Siniang's parents are not uncles and nephews. Although this is what outsiders say, only he knows that he and Feng Siniang's father are distant uncles and nephews. They are related but far apart. .
But outsiders don’t think so. What everyone knows is that Feng Siniang is his biological cousin and Feng Yujiao is his biological daughter. If they marry Yunze together, he doesn’t know that he will be scolded by others. What.
He didn't know how to tell Feng Yujiao and Feng Siniang about this matter. He also knew that these two girls were probably trying to use their in-law relationship to make Yunze trust him more.
Feng Yujiao and Feng Siniang seemed to know each other's thoughts, but neither one revealed it or stopped the other. There seemed to be subtlety and consensus between the two.
Yunze didn't know what the three people around him were thinking at this time. He looked at the modified warship and was very satisfied. After a while, he will have a powerful navy in his hands.
If possible, he would send the navy directly to the island country, preferably to capture it. Of course, this can only be done slowly.
As the Hebrew people were wiped out, overseas trading caravans also heard the news, and people were coming one after another. Yunze plans to focus on building various commercial products in Yongcheng.
Although Danyang City is the center of gravity, its industries are also radiating to surrounding areas. He wanted to stimulate the economic development of the entire Jing Dynasty.
At the same time, Yunze also asked people to start developing the minerals within his power. He is now extremely short of mineral resources, especially iron and copper. Of course, there are also saltpeter mines, sulfur mines, etc.
These are strategic resources, related to his recovery of the entire Jing Dynasty. And against the Golden Man. In addition to the Golden Man, there are many threats in the surrounding area. There are Xixia and those barbarians on the grassland.
Over in the Northeast, there is a group of stick men who are also in a panic. They have always been an arrogant and arrogant people. Maybe one day, these guys will have a fit and feel that they can do it, so they will come over and cause some trouble for them.
Of course, in addition to them, there are also the Yue Kingdom in the south and many countries in the Western Regions. They have always been greedy for China's fertile land and have wanted to occupy it for a long time.
"Commander Feng, the navy is left to you. In addition to Yongcheng and the coastal areas of Zhejiang, Yong and Fan towns, you can see how many naval ports can be built. How to arrange it by then? You can talk to the newly appointed Governor of Zhejiang and Ningbo, Yang Real discussion!”
Yunze retracted his gaze at this time and looked at Feng Ba Tiandao. The town of Zhejiang, Yongbo and Fan has settled down. After the recommendation of Yunze's father-in-law Song Rui, Yang Zhen is in charge of the governorship.
Yunze actually didn't have many talents, and there were only a few who could take on big responsibilities. Originally, Yunze wanted Yue Pengju or Gao Chong to be the governor of Zhejiang and Ningbo.
But neither Yue Pengju nor Gao Chong wanted to do this job. Moreover, they were military generals and were good at fighting, but they were worse at managing the local area. Not to mention, they didn't care about it.
Yunze could only leave the recruitment and training of soldiers to them. In Zhejiang, Yongbo and Fan towns, Yunze asked Yue Pengju and Gao Chong to recruit another 100,000 people.
Including the nearly 200,000 people in Danyang City, Yunze's troops reached 300,000. This does not include the 120,000 people he had when the six major cities took refuge.
These 120,000 people are still stationed in the six major cities for the time being, but they have been taken over by people from Yunze. The prefects of the six major cities were recalled by Yunze to Danyang City to prepare for them to make other arrangements.
The six prefects were originally reluctant to Yunze's arrangement, but they also knew that compared with Yunze, they had no confidence to resist.
It's already good that Yunze can take them in. If they dare to talk nonsense, Yunze can directly destroy them. By then, they will not only lose their current wealth and status, but even their lives, just like Shi Ren.
Shi Ren, who was infinitely more powerful than them, ended up dead in the end, and they could only choose to obey orders.
The reception work in the six major cities was also smooth. The 120,000 troops were also dispersed by Yunze little by little and were preparing to be added to other armies. Yunze is also preparing to send some people to garrison in the six major cities.
However, the garrison strength will be reduced to 30,000, with only 5,000 being sent to each city. Extra troops are of little use.
If these 120,000 people are successfully adapted, Yunze's military strength will reach 420,000. These troops Yunze were scattered everywhere, except for the 150,000 people prepared for regular garrison in Danyang City.
The rest were distributed to various prefectures and cities. At the same time, Yunze also built many steel-making workshops in various places. A commercial empire centered on Danyang City. It was also created by Ye Ziyan and began to extend to various cities within the sphere of influence.
Recently, due to Yunze's victory over Shi Ren, all the forces around him have stopped. But all the forces are very urgent, fearing that Yunze will cause trouble for them.
Except for King Kang's Nanjing forces, no one was sent. King Ming's Beijing sent Princess Song Bingqing, apparently to learn Yunze's governance methods. In fact, there is a sense of sending his daughter over for marriage.
Although Song Bingqing felt uncomfortable, she was also looking forward to it. Her mood at this time was complicated.
As for the Yongle Dynasty, after losing several generals, he also sent an envoy, Prime Minister Wang Yin, and brought a lot of minerals, gold and silver. And some treasures.
When Yunze returned to Danyang City, he also brought back Feng Yujiao and Feng Siniang. Feng Batian wanted them to come to Danyang City with Yunze to see something.
In fact, he just wanted to express his loyalty to Yunze and give his daughter and sister to Yunze as hostages. He was afraid that Yunze would be suspicious of him. After all, the power he holds is too great.
Yunze didn't know what the two women were thinking, but he acquiesced to Feng Batian's arrangement. Although it is said that no one is suspicious and no one is suspicious when employed, after all, the power in Feng Batian's hands is indeed too great.
Yunze believed in Feng Batian's character, but sometimes the attitude should be shown. It takes a combination of kindness and power.
After returning to Danyang, all his wives were not surprised that Yunze brought back two more women. Not to mention, they also know the identities of the two women,
Luo Yunniang even hoped that Yunze would bring the two girls into his house. She knew that Fengba Genius would be more loyal only with a level of marriage relationship.
As she came into contact with more and more things, her horizons had already changed. Yunze's family business was so big that Yunze couldn't do it alone if she wanted to keep it.
He also needs help from outsiders, preferably loyal people. Just like Yunze married Song Youwei, he actually wanted to get Song Rui's support. With Song Rui here, Yunze has a lot more talents at his disposal.
There are also people helping to manage the territory we have laid down. There may be feelings involved in marrying Aunt Ye Ziyan, but what Ye Ziyan brought to Yunze was huge wealth.
And Luo Qingcen, she now controls Yunze's largest intelligence organization. The only exception among these may be Song Lin. But when Yunze didn't fall out with Song Ji, Song Lin helped Yunze a lot.
Therefore, Luo Yanniang knew that Yunze wanted to stabilize his power and sometimes had to do things he didn't want to do. As Yunze's first wife, of course she has to think about Yunze.
It's just that she will take care of this matter, but she has to find time to discuss it with Yunze. Of course, she even thought of Song Bingqing. Therefore, when Yunze returns to Danyang.
Luo Yunniang not only arranged for Feng Siniang and Feng Yujiao to live at home, but also arranged for Song Bingqing to live at home. Fortunately, Yunze's home was big enough. It can accommodate a dozen more people.
Yunze didn't say anything about this arrangement. Anyway, he let Luo Yanniang be responsible for family affairs. When eating in the evening, it is extremely lively.
Except for Yunze, the rest of the table were all women. Of course, there was also Yunze's son Yunchen, who was considered a man besides Yunze.
Everyone at the table got along well with each other, talking and laughing. Except for Luo Yanniang and Song Lin, Yunze's remaining wives were all about four months pregnant.
It took Yunze about three months from leaving Danyang City to coming back. The bellies of several women are slightly bulging. Of course, Su Qianmo and Xian'er got pregnant later, and their bellies were less obvious.
During the dinner, Xian'er looked a bit wrong. But she forced a smile. This made Yunze a little surprised. However, with so many people there, he didn't ask out loud.
At night, Yunze found Xian'er alone.
