Chapter 45

Li Hongzhang's surrender is still very simple, but why is there a pitfall for Zhang Yi?Why did Li Hongzhang not intend to surrender before, but did so when he reached the position of commander of the navy?
Could it be that Li Hongzhang is still obsessed with Beiyang Navy?Otherwise, I will never forget the Navy!

Is this good or bad?Zhang Yi really doesn’t know.But as long as Li Hongzhang can, let's get through the difficulties at hand first!

Zhang Yi helped Li Hongzhang up and said, "But now that Shouchun is withered, I'm afraid we won't be able to build a navy."

Li Hongzhang said: "Don't worry, my lord. I already knew about Shouchun's situation. I have stockpiled [-] stones of grain and grass, and prepared seeds, farm tools and cattle. All these are now dedicated to my lord!"

Zhang Yi said in surprise, "Jianfu why?"

what's the situation?Is there something wrong with the system?Not to mention that he gave Li Hongzhang, but also funded so many things?
However, the system still did not answer.

Li Hongzhang said: "Although Zhang is utilitarian, he doesn't want to see too many people die. Now that the world is in chaos, there are not many people who can be put down. Most of the princes are from aristocratic families, and the only ones with low backgrounds are the lord, Cao Sikong, Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande." .”

"Although Cao Sikong is powerful, he kills too much. Sun Bofu is good at fighting, but he can't deal with the relationship with the rich. Liu Xuande is known as benevolence and righteousness, but he has no fixed place. Although the lord is under the fence, he belongs to the poor dragon. Now Get Shouchun, if you know the timing, you will definitely return to the sea in the future."

Zhang Yi waved his hand, pretending to be polite.But I was thinking in my heart that if you hadn't been summoned by the system, you definitely wouldn't say that about me.

"When the lord is in trouble, I will help you with all my family. In the future, the lord will have a great success, and I will never forget my contribution."

"Don't worry, Jianfu! If I really achieve great things in the future, Jianfu will definitely be made a general and become a prime minister. It's so valuable!" Zhang Yi said with a guarantee. It was all a blank check anyway, so you should open it first and then talk about it.

In this way, due to the bug in the system, Li Hongzhang completely surrendered to Zhang Yi.While preparing grain, grass, seeds and agricultural tools, he took Zhang Yi to his family's dock to have a look.

When he arrived at the dock, Zhang Yi found that the built boat was really not small.Although he has never seen how big the warships of this era are, the warships in the dock should not be smaller than the largest warships of this era.

"My lord, this is Meng Kang, and he supervised the construction of these warships." Li Hongzhang pulled a strong man over and said.

Meng Kang?Isn't this the summoned character?How did he get to Li Hongzhang?Where did Meng Kang implant it?I seem to have forgotten a bit.

Meng Kang also knew about Li Hongzhang's surrender to Zhang Yi, so he quickly saluted Zhang Yi and said, "Meet my lord."

Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Please! I now accept Li Zhang as the captain of Fubo, who will take full control of the water army and investigate Zheng Bao and others in Chaohu Lake. I will appoint Meng Kang as the captain, supervise the construction of warships, and assist Li Zhang."

"Thank you, my lord!" Li Hongzhang and Meng Kang hurriedly thanked them.

Zhang Yi stayed in Hefei for ten days, and then returned to Shouchun with grain, seeds, farm tools, and cattle.

After returning to Shouchun, before June, you can carry out late plowing.Fortunately, the crops in Huainan can be harvested twice a year. If they are planted now, they can still get food in autumn.

If it goes further north, it may be difficult because the accumulated temperature is not enough.

As a child of a farmer's family, Zhang Yi still knows a little about farming.Although not proficient, he still understands a lot of scientific knowledge.

After Zhang Yi returned to Shouchun, Li Shangyin reported to him: "Lord, I have confirmed that the unowned land in Shouchun is 3 acres in size. Among them, there are more than [-] acres of fertile land, which can be used for farming."

Zhang Yi nodded, "Then we will carry out garrisoning, worry about those hungry people who can't survive, and cooperate with them in the implementation of the garrison, and allocate land to them after three years."

Li Shangyin nodded to express his understanding.However, he added: "When Shi Qian went to Lujiang this time, he did not see Liu Xun, nor did he get any funding back."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi immediately frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Li Shangyin looked at Zhang Yi carefully and said: "From what Shi Qian said, it seems that the other party looked down on the lord and said that he was a down-and-out man."

Zhang Yi was so angry, what a good Liu Xun!I didn't recruit you or provoke you, but you humiliated me.You wait for me to see if I don't deal with you!

But Liu Xun still needs to put this aside, he has to arrange the plowing first.

With seeds and cattle, the people of Shouchun also see hope.And the rain this year is good. Remember that Shouchun is close to the Pi (sound fart) water, which is a tributary of the Huai River and can irrigate the farmland.

With the 5 shi of grain and grass obtained from Li Hongzhang, it is enough for [-] people in Shouchun to eat until next spring.And in winter, they can still harvest for one season, and at least they can harvest nearly [-] shi of grain.

The farm tools at this time were very crude, and Zhang Yi had no way to improve them.This is mainly a problem with the forging process, which cannot be solved in a short time.

In late June, when the summer was coming to an end, the [-] mu were finally planted.

In order to prevent these people from being idle, food wasted in vain.Zhang Yi asked Li Shangyin to take care of the food, weed and catch insects, and get some chickens, ducks and geese to stock up by the way.

He himself led the people to restore Shouchun's defense and repair the city wall.And a military fortress was built outside the city and on the riverside facing Xiacai in the north, where Master Shang and his apprentices were guarded.

Originally, this place should be handed over to Di Qing, but Di Qing sent Zhang Yi to search for Liu Ye in the Chaohu area.Zheng Bao is entrenched in Chaohu Lake, hoarding a lot of powerful families, and it can be said that he is very rich.

Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.Of course Zhang Yi was greedy for such a large amount of wealth, so he sent Di Qing to contact Liu Ye first to see if there was a chance to kill Zheng Bao.And he has already greeted Li Hongzhang, as long as there is a change in Chaohu, he will immediately enter Chaohu.

At the beginning of July, an angel came from Xuchang, bringing the will of the emperor.Because of Zhang Yi's meritorious service in getting rid of Yuan Shu, he was named General of Rebellion, the official worship of Jiujiang Taishou, and he was also named Yichengtinghou.

It can be said that this is a step up to the sky, and it is more than three levels.Above General Pi is General Pian, above General Pian there is General Zhonglang, and above that is General Miscellaneous.

The official promotion is also obvious. Originally, Zhang Yi had no official position, but now he is directly the prefect.

As for the feudal lord, Yicheng is a county in Jiujiang County. Now a pavilion in Yicheng County already belongs to Zhang Yi's fiefdom.

Zhang Yi didn't care much about being named Marquis.But the people in Shouchun care very much. They are very happy when they know that Zhang Yi has become the prefect of Jiujiang, because it means that Zhang Yi will not leave Shouchun in a short time. Their hope is still there, at least for a few years. worried.
