Wei Shen knelt on the ground and did not dare to express his anger. His whole body was even shaking uncontrollably. He really couldn't imagine that the young man in front of him, who had been holding hands with him and chatting for a long time, was the current crown prince, the real leader of the Han Dynasty today.

He couldn't imagine what kind of misfortune he would suffer from his rudeness and various gaffes. He even only remembered the rumors people had about the Crown Prince and what he heard when he was in Prince Xing's Mansion. But just now, she held his hand and put his arm around his back, chatting with him all the way.

What made Wei Shen even more depressed was that the two surprisingly beautiful men turned out to be the prince's legendary wives. Because there was no wedding, the prince's women could not have concubines. Wei Shen also wondered why people like Shu and Dali did not compete for status.

And these two are obviously relatively famous. One is the scholar Wang Yu, whose literary talent is the highest in the Han literary world, and the other is Xiao Yue, who is famous among the high-ranking gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. As for Xiao Yue's identity, the court will naturally not announce to the outside world that she is the Miao Xin Wen Ji in the world.

Wei Shen is an out-and-out literati, and literati have their own style of literati. Wang Yu is definitely his idol. Although there is no such thing as an idol at this time, Wei Shen is definitely a loyal fan of Wang Yu, and even attended the meeting that day. By supporting Wang Yu's resignation as Wang Fu. Regarding being able to see his idol at this moment, Wei Shen felt that even if he was given the gift of death by the prince, he would have less regrets now!

Of course, Wei Shen had even participated in Wang Yu's literary club activities held in Baiyun Mountain many times. However, given Wei Shen's influence in the literary world and Wang Yu's height and status, Wei Shen obviously had not had the opportunity to get up close. I only watched Wang Yu's style from a distance with some friends. Of course, he did not appreciate Wang Yu's beauty. In their eyes, Wang Yu could not be called the most beautiful person in the world. Wang Yu had the literary talent that surpassed any other man.

But at this time, Wang Yu had changed into men's clothing. It was impossible for Wei Shen to stare at a man. Naturally, he didn't notice that Wang Yu was a woman disguised as a man at first. But when he heard Liu Jixing himself say it, Wei Shen looked more and more like him and became more nervous. , at this moment, I felt nervous, scared and a little excited.

Liu Jixing looked calm and gently held Wei Shen's arms. Considering Wei Shen's physical strength and weight at this moment, Liu Jixing could gently lift him up. Wei Shen's fear could naturally be seen at this moment. Liu Jixing admired Wei Shen's pragmatic answers and his ability to apply people-friendly strategies to water conservancy and agricultural knowledge.

With the rich experience of Liu Jixing's later generations, we can naturally see that Wei Shen is not a person who talks for nothing. Liu Jixing did not want to frighten this capable and ambitious petty official because of King Wei's former reputation, because what he lacked most now was talent.

This is like a situation where you, an ordinary person in the future, suddenly see a government chairman, being friendly to ordinary civil servants in society. A casual fart from the chairman will scare people to death. Liu Jixing couldn't help but comfort him with a few words, saying that he really admired his talent, and that this trip was just an unintentional inspection, etc.

Wei Shen, who had a look of disbelief and felt that the real situation was in front of him, looked at Liu Jixing's sincere eyes with uneasiness, and felt that his back was cold and his whole body was wet. He didn't know what he did next, but he just sat on the low stool that Wang Yu brought for him in a daze. Liu Jixing liked this kind of stool, even if it was just a simple wooden panel made by the farmer himself.

Seeing Liu Jixing sitting calmly on a wooden stool, Wei Shen ignored the fact that the status of the eunuch next to Liu Jixing was higher than that of the eldest official in his family. What's more, at this moment, Wang Yu, who is now in a high position and is the wife of the palace, moved a stool for herself to sit on.

He no longer looked at the eyes of others around him, and would only smile at the smiling Liu Jixing. In fact, his smile was actually uglier than crying. He kept making facial expressions to make himself look sincere. He saw Liu Jixing looking at him with a smile. Perhaps with the encouragement from Liu Jixing's eyes and the support of his strong hands, Wei Shen calmed down, and after a long time, his boiling heart finally calmed down a little.

The two of them were sitting across from each other in the simple and plain hall of a private house. Wei Shen's butt was only slightly touched by the stool, and everyone else stood aside quietly. Wang Yu and Xiao Yue stood behind Liu Jixing, but the mighty man in civilian clothes stood at the door and did not come in. Liu Jixing didn't tell Wei Shen who the other person was, so Wei Shen naturally didn't dare to ask. He just nodded and smiled at everyone.

Liu Jixing saw that Wei Shen gradually calmed down, and he was quite satisfied with the rapid change of Wei Shen's mentality. Because the officials I have met this year have made me nervous too many times. So I have long been used to this kind of situation, so I asked him for some insights on water conservancy.

Although Wei Shen is still a little uneasy, he is a child of a big family after all. Although he does not have a great reputation, he has been professional since he was a child and has received a good education, and what he expresses is his expertise. Thinking of what I just saw on the road, I flexibly summarized and applied it, and my insights were naturally clear and logical.

Liu Jixing saw that some of the ideas he came up with after clearing up his thoughts turned out to be similar to some successful water conservancy project management and application models in later generations. I was curious and surprised at the same time, so I couldn't help but implicitly try to tell some experiences of later generations. As expected, it inspired Wei Shen even more, and I naturally started chatting with him for a while.

The two of them chatted together for almost an hour. From time to time, Liu Jixing would ask some farmers some questions. Wei Shen benefited a lot and felt a lot. It could be seen that Liu Jixing was very friendly to the people. In the end, Liu Jixing was more concerned about Wei Shen's own affairs. Knowing that he was the beneficiary of the Imperial Academy students, he couldn't help but ask him about his future ambitions.

It's okay if he didn't know at first, but now after being tested by Liu Jixing, if Wei Shen still doesn't understand, then there is no need to come out and mess around in the future. Although I have not yet received the Holy Grace Palace Examination in the Golden Palace, there is no doubt that this is no different from the Palace Examination, and it is more cordial and practical.

But for a big event like the palace examination, the elders in the family still have some instructions. Although Liu Jixing is not the emperor yet, insiders have now told each other that all the state affairs of the Han Dynasty in the past six months have been entirely decided by this prince, and the emperor Liu Sheng has not interfered at all. What is the difference between Liu Jixing and the emperor, and what is the difference between this and the Jinshi Golden Palace Nomination Examination!

Wei Shen understood something at this moment. Since Liu Jixing already knew his abilities, he did not dare to talk nonsense in front of the prince Liu Jixing. He only said that he hoped to study and master his own government affairs in Dongguan this time. Make some achievements that can benefit the people and benefit the Han Dynasty, and then return to Prince Xing's Mansion to take the final scientific examination. I hope that after becoming an official, I can serve the country well and bring happiness to all people!

The two of them chatted slowly. Liu Jixing never mentioned other state affairs. He only talked to Wei Shen about the customs and customs of Lingnan, as well as the impact of water conservancy and various crops on Lingnan. Liu Jixing originally wanted to change the popularity of Jiaozhou Zhancheng rice in Lingnan. He had previously asked people to introduce seeds in Fujian and Jiaozhou respectively. This time it was the second season of experiments here, so these farmers are all familiar with Liu Jixing. He never thought that Liu Jixing would be the crown prince of Han Dynasty.

The results of the experiment here are good. The yield is half that of the original method, and it can be grown in all seasons along the coast of Lingnan. This makes Liu Jixing ecstatic and ready to vigorously support and promote it along the coast. Suddenly I met Wei Shen, an expert in water conservancy and agriculture, so naturally I wanted to give him a try to see his real talent and knowledge.

Wei Shen was already knowledgeable and good at agricultural water conservancy. He also mentioned the role and impact of the water storage irrigation just built under the guidance of Liu Jixing. Especially if it can be applied to the Central Plains region, then the achievements that benefit all people are not just in the contemporary era. At this moment, Liu Jixing Listen with gusto. Liu Jixing naturally knew the huge impact of water conservancy on agriculture, but he did not expect that since he proposed this era, it would obviously become his own merit!

The people around him didn't pay much attention to Wei Shen at first, but seeing what he said about his experiences and methods, even the farmers accompanying him asked for advice from time to time, and Liu Jixing kept discussing and asking for advice. Everyone was a little surprised and confused. Strangely enough, in the end I just listened quietly.

At this time, the commoner man who was accompanying him at the door, Yuhou Shishao, the imperial guard in charge of palace security, came in to report that Zhao Cijian, the magistrate of Dongguan County, had sent someone to pick up Liu Jixing by boat and was chatting with Wei Shen. Liu Jixing, who was very excited, agreed and happily took Wei Shen's hand and couldn't help but sigh with emotion as he came out with him.

At this time, Wei Shen met the ship envoy who was now famous in Prince Xing's palace, Wu Yanrou, who had already been granted the title of General Dingyuan, and Zhao Cijian, the magistrate of Dongguan County, who looked at him in surprise. To the uneasy Wei Shen's surprise, Liu Jixing not only happily praised him in front of Zhao Cijian for having ideas, but also for being able to put them into practice to help the people understand the actual situation of agriculture. Moreover, he said that this matter was worth learning from the officials and reserve officials of the Han Dynasty. This made Wei Shen, who had been uneasy, finally feel a little calmer.

He really didn't know that Zhao Cijian and Wu Yanrou were more surprised than him at the moment. How could Liu Jixing hold Wei Shen's hand and come out together? Wu Yanrou's thoughts were better because he didn't know Wei Shen and listened to Liu Jixing's introduction. After that, I became more fond of Wei Shen.

During this period, he could be said to have been single-handedly promoted by Liu Jixing, and the various ideas and methods he implemented were actually proposed by Liu Jixing. Wu Yanrou was very impressed with Liu Jixing's ability and understood his need for talents.

Zhao Cijian's heart was in turmoil, and he couldn't guess Liu Jixing's intentions for a moment, even though he was promoted by Liu Jixing, and he had even suffered a lot from Liu Jixing before.

However, during this period of time, under Liu Jixing's instruction, he had done all the major things that benefited the country and the people, but he did not dare to openly speculate on Liu Jixing's heart! Liu Jixing praised Wei Shen and explained that Wei Shen's current approach and method were right. He had no choice but to give Wei Shen a slight nod, but in his heart he wanted to go back and get close to him.

After coming out of here, everyone saw dozens of guards standing outside the house, but all of them were wearing soft armor and civilian clothes. They had obviously come with Zhao Cijian and Wu Yanrou to protect Liu Jixing! Wei Shen saw that although these people were not fully armed, they were all energetic and impressive, and he knew that they were truly warriors who were good at attacking and defending.

After Liu Jixing gave instructions, everyone said goodbye to the farmers. Along with Zhao Cijian and Wu Yanrou, the group accompanied Liu Jixing as they walked along the mountain path along the seaside, and soon passed a mountain col next to the seaside.

What made Wei Shen sigh with emotion was that he stumbled while walking to the beach, while Liu Jixing held Wang Yu as easily as if he were walking on flat ground. There was nothing about his expression that made him look like a pampered prince. Thinking of the past evaluations and understanding of Liu Jixing by the people and officials, Wei Shen was very interested in slandering those people and spreading misleading rumors, and he also became more unswerving in his support of Liu Jixing.

When Wei Shen passed the mountain col, he saw several relatively large battleships, all parked in the deep water area of ​​​​the seaside of the mountain col. There were also many soldiers and generals on board waiting attentively. When we arrived at the beach, although the weather was good, we saw waves crashing on the shore. Wei Shen had to be careful to stand firm.

The generals, officers and soldiers on the ship were all busy putting down a few wide and thick wooden steps. After everyone served Liu Jixing a few on board, the people here boarded the ship one after another and set off. Among them, Wei Shen was specially appointed by Liu Jixing to accompany him, so he could take Chang San with him, and Wei Xi also boarded the ship. Chang San and Wei Xi had never seen such a person before. They followed Wei Shenwei so closely that they didn't know how deep they were. They just followed everyone!

The boat slowly sailed away from the coast. After a while, it gradually picked up speed. Liu Jixing naturally went to the inner cabin to rest. Wei Shen and the others were waiting outside. They could also enjoy the seaside scenery. They were all next to each other on the boat along the way. Driving in deep water along the coastline, the boat speed is relatively fast and the hull is very stable.

The hall inside the cabin is relatively simple, with an Arhat bed covered with Shu brocade, and Liu Jixing sat on it and quietly sorted out various clues during this period. Regarding the planting of rice today, it was originally planned, but the unexpected encounter with Wei Shen was a bonus. Liu Jixing understood that no matter how powerful a person is, he only has one pair of hands. Especially as a decision-maker, as long as you have an overall view of the overall situation, things like this can be left to more people to handle, and a more mature idea is formed in your heart!

Xiao Yue sat on the right side and looked at Liu Jixing's already tough face. There was even a light beard on his chin. Thinking of the mental maturity of this young man who was almost ten years younger than himself, Xiao Yue was even a little confused and raised him up. When Xia Qinghou reached the height of his heart, looking at Liu Jixing's eyes, he was filled with curiosity and questions.

If in the past Xiao Yue believed that it was his sect's help that allowed Liu Jixing to have a smooth journey, now Liu Jixing basically does not act according to the sect's wishes. But Xiao Yue clearly felt the changes in the Han Dynasty during this period. The people's awareness of the royal family was unprecedentedly high. The loyalty of the soldiers to the royal family was the strongest in this era. What Xiao Yue couldn't understand was everyone's hatred of the Liu family dynasty. sense of belonging. Even people like Xiao Yue who don't know much about people's livelihood and military affairs know that the world is becoming more and more clear in the hands of Liu Jixing. She seems to have seen the feeling of Liu Jixing riding a horse and whipping the country!

When Xiao Yue came out with Liu Jixing, Xiao Yue went to see Xia Qinghou and talked with him about Liu Jixing's changes and the huge influence of the Han Dynasty during this period. Xia Qinghou only said two words to Xiao Yue, "Genius!"

Wang Yu didn't think so much. She only knew that Liu Jixing must be a good emperor and think about the people of the world living and working in peace and contentment. Since she has committed herself to Liu Jixing, as long as she is by Liu Jixing's side, she will not let Liu Jixing deviate from the general trend of the world.

Although the Liu family has received mixed reviews since Emperor Gaozu came to power, the Liu family's cruel political practices have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But Wang Yu knew that Liu Jixing was obviously changing. During this period, she and Xiao Yue almost accompanied Liu Jixing on inspections. She saw too many moves that surprised her. Obviously, these political affairs were planned by Liu Jixing in advance and ordered in an orderly manner. After implementation, now it has some effects one by one.

Liu Jixing did not hide anything from the two of them, but also explained the functions and effects of the measures to them one by one. Wang Yu knew that Liu Jixing's various initiatives were unheard of. Looking at Liu Jixing's appearance, Wang Yu didn't know how the monster he had grown up with suddenly became so enlightened. Is it really the Taoist God's method that allowed Liu Jixing to save the world? Wang Yu didn't know How could I face all this? Everything was like a dream. I couldn't help but sit next to him and gently squeeze his left arm and shoulder.

"Yu'er! I'm not tired, I'm just thinking about talents like Wei Shen. Tell me how I can use him now that he has no fame!" Liu Jixing gently held Wang Yu's hand, thinking about this man who had wronged him to help him. Talented woman, her eyes are full of love and tenderness.

There was a plan in his mind that might conflict with the current system, but for his own future, Liu Jixing had already made a decision in his mind. He held her slender waist and sat next to him. He hugged her tightly and whispered: "Your body is not as good as Yue'er's. You will be very tired if you stay with me all the time. Take a good rest and wait." I’ll call you when we get down!”

Wang Yu looked at Xiao Yue, who had a funny face on her side, with a blushing face. She shook her head slightly towards Liu Jixing and felt his strong physical aura. Although she had been with Liu Jixing for some time, her upbringing made her still Somewhat shy, I couldn't help but whisper: "I'm not tired. It's my duty to accompany the prince! This Wei Shen is a talent. The prince doesn't have to stick to the clichés. As long as he can use his abilities within the scope that he is familiar with, the prince is great." You can do what you want!”

Feeling Liu Jixing's restless hand, Wang Yu's breathing became rapid. Wang Yu struggled for a long time with the transition from king master to concubine, but Liu Jixing's heartfelt love finally slowly melted Wang Yu. After all, she has been with Liu Jixing for a while, and she is now Liu Jixing's concubine. Thinking of the methods Liu Jixing's palace used against her, she couldn't help but look at Liu Jixing with shame.

Who would have thought that when Liu Jixing got excited, he even hugged Xiao Yue who was standing next to him. Xiao Yue looked at Liu Jixing with a smile. She didn't refuse and just looked at Wang Yu and smiled. She was so embarrassed that Wang Yu wanted to crawl into the cracks in the ground.

Le Fan, who was wearing casual clothes, obediently retreated to the outer cabin, lowered his eyebrows and lowered the curtain, but he stood with his face facing outward, with a strange expression on his face. Although he was physically disabled now, he really couldn't understand why Liu Jixing was so interested in these two ordinary-looking women. Looking at the batches of beauties Liu Jixing released into the palace, Le Fan could only close his eyes and think, maybe Liu Jixing I want to be a wise king for eternity! That’s why you find these ordinary-looking women to restrain yourself!

Liu Jixing himself didn't know that his aesthetics had led to his image in the hearts of these people, and now he has risen to the level of a great man.

This was Wei Shen's first time riding on such a big ship, but he didn't feel any discomfort at all. No one on the boat dared to make any noise. Even though they were not on the same boat as Liu Jixing, everyone was extremely self-conscious.

Zhao Cijian chatted with Wei Shen in a low voice for a few words, and his words were much more cordial. The meaning was nothing more than that the two of them would go back to the Yamen and get together again.

Wei Shen hadn't calmed down yet, but after Zhao Cijian said this, he naturally agreed happily. After all, in Wei Shen's mind, Zhao Cijian was still his boss, and Zhao Cijian was truly a county official.

The fleet drove for about half an hour and slowly entered a large harbor. What Wei Shen saw from a distance was a crowded port appearing in front of him. From the boat here, you can see the scenery for several miles towards the coast. Wei Shen heard many things about the newly built dock from the officials in the government office, but he was still greatly shocked when he actually saw this scene.

Slowly approaching the shore, I saw several large docks and docks full of people, including groups of soldiers and large ships under construction. Everyone was busy in an orderly manner. Surprisingly, there were almost no supervisors in sight. Only mighty soldiers stood patrolling from a distance, and there were not a few of these patrolling soldiers in each team.

The fighting ship was able to dock slowly. After docking, Liu Jixing's arrival did not cause any sensation, and no one came to greet the party deliberately.

Liu Jixing was dressed casually like a farmer. Although there were some people around him, including Shi Shao, they were all decorated casually. People along the way paid no attention to these people. They were all doing their jobs diligently. Even Zhao Cijian, who came to accompany them, changed into Confucian clothes.

Perhaps because he knew Liu Jixing's personality, he specifically asked his entourage to keep a low profile, and he was diligent and self-disciplined these days. Of the group, only Wu Yanrou was wearing a half-length soft armor uniform, and the group looked like they were all his followers.

While Zhao Cijian walked slowly with Liu Jixing and looked around, he explained the various tasks to Liu Jixing in detail, and introduced the purpose of the work and the clarity of the requirements in detail. It seemed that during this period, he These things have been made clear and clear.

Wei Shen had some small emotions in his heart, but it was obviously not suitable to express them at this time. However, he could clearly see Zhao Cijian's every move and carefully felt the atmosphere of Zhao Cijian's eloquent talk in Liu Jixing. Wei Shen felt benefited. Very shallow.

Liu Jixing is obviously very easy-going. With Wang Yu and Xiao Yue around him, they are also dressed in men's clothing, and everyone seems to be less restrained. Liu Jixing asked Zhao Cijian some questions if he didn't understand. Sometimes he would also ask some suggestions, which Wei Shen had never heard before. Seeing that Zhao Cijian was not clear about it, Wei Shen couldn't help but feel more mysterious and mysterious about Liu Jixing. curious.

We walked all the way to the other side of the seaside. This side is an open shipyard where large ships are built. This place is completely adjacent to the deep-water dock. There are already many fighting ships parked on the beach. Some of them have many soldiers active on them, while others seem to be still testing the water for repairs.

Suddenly, a burst of shouting was heard, and everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they looked at it intently!

When Wei Shen looked at it, he was even more surprised and dumbfounded. He saw two pavilions moving slowly in the sea. When I looked again, it turned out to be two huge ships, which were the most prosperous ships in the pre-Tang Dynasty. This was the first time he had seen such a huge building ship. The two huge building ships were like two huge sea giants. The structure of the six-story pavilion was beyond Wei Shen's imagination. There are four smaller ships being towed next to the building, obviously preparing to sail into the sea.

Liu Jixing stood there smiling with his hands behind his hands and watched. Now under the supervision of Abbas, a perennial sailor, and with the cooperation of the General Supervisor and the Ministry of Works, four large-scale warships of the Han Navy have returned to normal condition. , plus the original small warship that has been serving inland, Dahan now has a super navy with five warships.

Liu Jixing has his own plans and goals, and plans to send two ships to guard Hainan Island in Yazhou, Qiongzhou. Of course, if there are high-rise ships, the cooperation of fighting ships and speedboats will be inevitable, so he is strengthening supervision in all aspects. To the east of the Han Kingdom were the Min Kingdom and the Wuyue Qian Family. Liu Jixing knew that the Min Kingdom was the last to submit to the Song Dynasty, so he decided to send a ship to the Chaozhou Sea to prevent interference from the Min Kingdom and Wuyue.

There is still one high-rise ship that must stay outside the Xingwang Mansion. Liu Jixing does not want his final ending to be like the joke of the empress in history, where he was cut off by Le Fan and a group of eunuchs. With this ship in the sea outside Prince Xing's Mansion, it can maneuver at any time. Of course, the premise is absolute loyalty.

The only thing that the big man is not short of now is money. Liu Jixing is planning to build ten more warships. Of course, Liu Jixing doesn't want others to talk about him, so he not only takes out all his private treasury, but also gets strong support from Lu Ya. What surprised Liu Jixing was that Pan Yulian also donated a lot of money in the name of King Gui, which was an eye-opener for Liu Jixing.

The cheap daddy emperor Liu Sheng is not dead yet, so Liu Jixing is naturally not able to draw money from the treasury in a big way, but he has also passed the budgets of many general supervisors and the Ministry of Industry.
