Chapter 234 Harbor Construction and Planning
Chapter 234 Harbor Construction and Planning
This is not the first time Meng Chen has issued the recruitment order, and the effect is extraordinary every time it is issued.

This time, with the skill blessing of recruiting refugees, the effect may be even better.

After staying in Xiangping City for another five days, Meng Chen led the army and began to return. All the affairs of Liaodong were thrown to Tian Yu, Yan Gang and others, and all the affairs of Youzhou were also prepared to be thrown to Xu Shu.

Being a hands-off shopkeeper is addictive, but Meng Chen is getting more and more addictive!

On the way back, after Mengchen entered the west of Liaoning, he made a special trip to the place where Qin Shihuang made his fourth east tour.

Because here, it has been selected as the base camp for the establishment of the navy.

"The last general, Gan Ning, pays homage to the lord."

When Meng Chen led the army to arrive, Gan Ning hastily stepped forward to salute, as did the sailors behind him.

"Xingba doesn't need to be too polite, and the soldiers don't need to be too polite." Meng Chen got off his horse, first helped Gan Ning, and then waved to the sailors behind him.

"Xingba, the construction of the navy cannot be rushed. We must lay a good foundation, and logistics is equally important."

Accompanied by Gan Ning, Meng Chen made a rough tour of the camp. Although it has begun to take shape, it is still far away from the real seaport.

"Don't worry, my lord. With the drawings and the craftsmen sent by Chang'an, it won't take long for Ning Ding to train a qualified navy."

"Yuan said that the development of Youzhou lies in the construction of roads."

"That's a good relationship. Mr. Xu should clear up the official way of coming here as soon as possible." Gan Ning directly threw the question to Xu Shu with a happy face.

"Gan Xingba, Shu didn't have a clue, so he went through the back door instead." Xu Shu replied angrily.

"This back door must be opened. The construction of the navy requires a lot of resources and capital investment."

In fact, there is no need for Meng Chen to say that Xu Shu will do the same. After all, once the navy is established, the Xiliang Army will have another card in their hands.

Among other things, without the knowledge of the princes from all walks of life, the cities of the coastal states are completely undefended for the Xiliang Navy.

After making a big circle, Meng Chen was still very satisfied with the progress of the construction. Apart from the craftsmen, the rest of the materials were basically available.

"There are still a few craftsmen, especially those who can build seagoing ships. However, the Marquis has already issued a recruitment order, and there must be a change in the near future."

"My lord, I heard that there are craftsmen in Liaodong County and Xuantu County who know how to make sea boats. Can you recruit a group?" Gan Ning has more expectations for sea boat craftsmen than Meng Chen.

"Well, this Marquis has heard about it a little bit, but when there was a war, those who escaped died, but this Marquis has arranged for Tian Guorang to search around, and Xingba can just wait with peace of mind."

"In this way, Ning will have more confidence in his heart."

After returning to the commander's tent, Meng Chen, Xu Shu, Gan Ning and others discussed again in front of the sand table in the harbor.

"The construction of the seaport must be divided into two areas for military use and civilian use. The same is true for ports. The economic development of Liaoxi, Liaodong, and even the entire Youzhou cannot be separated from shipping."

"My lord's vision is beyond the reach of the common people. If the merchants are involved, one can imagine how prosperous this place will be in the future."

"Having said that, once the ship is built, Xingba still needs to find out the route."

"The lord is going to be prosperous, and he will wake up at the end."

In the next two hours, everyone discussed the sea-going ship again, especially the sea-going ship construction method proposed by Gan Ning, which was approved by Meng Chen.

As the saying goes, you have to eat food one bite at a time, and you have to walk step by step on the road. If you take too many steps, it is easy to retreat to the egg!
After staying in Harbor City for seven days, Meng Chen hurriedly set off. There was news from Jizhou that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang planned to join him.

"If it is said that Yuan Xi intends to surrender, the Marquis still has a little faith in it. But Yuan Shang is an ambitious person, and he will never do so."

"My lord missed a little bit, the two boys of the Yuan family are not at the end of their rope." Xu Shu added.

It can be seen from this that from the very beginning, Meng Chen and his subordinates did not believe that the two guys from the Yuan family would voluntarily surrender.

"Is there any news from Zilong?"

"After General Zilong captured Changshan, he kept his troops on the surface, but in fact he has infiltrated other counties in Jizhou. The last time he sent information was half a month ago."

"Half a month ago?" Meng Chen frowned.

After pondering for a while, Meng Chen finally remembered something: "If Benhou remembers correctly, Zilong specifically mentioned Zhang Yun."

"Not only that, Zilong also reminded the lord to pay attention to the movements of the Zhen family!" Xu Shu reminded here.

"Is it the Zhen family?" Meng Chen felt a little headache, and the things inside might not be that simple.

"Order Anbu to find out what the Zhen family is doing, and tell Zilong to contact Zhang Xi boldly."

Zhang He, unlike Gao Lan, was able to become a pillar of the Four Courts of Hebei by virtue of his strength.

Compared with Zhang He, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi trusted Gao Lan more.

Therefore, at the moment Zhao Yun invaded Jizhou, Zhang He was sent to the forefront!

When the two armies faced each other, Zhang He was naturally aware of the advantages and disadvantages of both sides, and Zhao Yun's strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field gave Zhao Yun a headache for a while.

But with the passage of time, the fine traditions of the Yuan family have been carried forward again.

The fight in the nest has started again in Jizhou!

In addition, Gao Lan made troubles in private, and Zhang Yun, who was at the forefront, was short of clothes and food, and even his troops were taken away little by little.

Under such circumstances, no matter how stupid Zhang He is, he can still see some tricks.

In desperation, Zhang Yun had no choice but to lead the army into battle. After several fights, he and Zhao Yun fell in love with each other.

Anbu's actions were not unpleasant, Meng Chen issued the order less than three days, and the news about the Zhen family was gathered.

"Hmph! Eat things that are inside and out." Meng Chen snorted coldly, the anger in his heart was burning.

The Zhen family had a place in Chang'an, and this was Meng Chen's way to win over the Zhen family, but he never expected that the Zhen family would use this relationship to infiltrate the court.

It's a pity that the Zhen family didn't know that the emperor in their eyes was just a substitute.

"My lord, calm down. The Zhen family can become the leader of the merchants in Jizhou. Although they are inseparable from the Yuan family, businessmen are after profit. I think that this matter is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface."

"I hope so!"

Inside the Zhen Mansion in Wuji County, Zhongshan Country, Jizhou, Mrs. Zhen looked at the person in front of her with a livid face, as if she was going to rip him off.

"The Zhen family has already done what the master ordered, when will I let him go?" Mrs. Zhen said coldly.

"Hahaha, Mrs. Zhen is as beautiful as a flower, and she is so intelligent. The old fellow Zhen Yi is really blessed."

After a pause, the man said again: "The second young master has done what he ordered, but the third young master has one more thing to do here."

"Too much deceit!" Mrs. Zhen cursed loudly, her chest heaving and falling.

"Hehe, Meng Chen has already returned to Zhuo County, and will soon go south to Zhongshan Country. Presumably, with Madam Zhen's face, he can naturally invite him to come to his home as a guest. At that time, all he needs to do is..."

"Despicable! Shameless!"

"Whether to do it or not, Mrs. Zhen has to decide! Hahahaha!"
