The First Military Division of the Three Kingdoms

"Military division, I have found a suitable place to build a port, and it is in the fishing village."

As soon as Gan Ning came in, he excitedly shouted at Chen Ziming.

"Well, I know, take me to see it tomorrow, you go down and rest first."

Chen Ziming looked at the sky, it was already afternoon, he didn't want to spend the night outside, especially the night by the sea, it was so cold.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Ziming took the team and set off. Gan Ning led the way, and the team of hundreds of people headed for the sea in a mighty way.

Chapter 52 蔡文姬

"This is a natural harbor!"

After seeing Gan Ning find a place to build a port, He Fan also agreed to build a port here, let professionals come for professional matters, and Chen Ziming has no right to speak.

With a wave of his hand, Chen Ziming confiscated all the land within a radius of fifty miles, and then handed over other matters to Zhang Liu, the county magistrate of Linqu County, and ordered him to start construction next year when the weather was warmer. port.

Then let Gan Ning take out the design drawing of the port, and He Fan take out the design drawing of the dock, and let professionals do other things.

In the end, Gan Ning excitedly went to recruit people. Chen Ziming told him that as many people as he could recruit, he could lead as many soldiers.

Chen Ziming wasn't afraid that Gan Ning would recruit too many people, after all, Qingzhou's coastal area was only so big, and there weren't many people along the coast in this era, even less young and strong.

The most important thing is that Chen Ziming is not only recruiting sailors, but naval soldiers, the kind of soldiers who can fight. What he wants to build is a terrifying marine corps, not a transport brigade.

After dismissing the loud Gan Ning, Chen Ziming, He Fan and a few of his outstanding apprentices began to study sea ships.

Chen Ziming first asked He Fan to make a model of a sea-going ship he had studied before. Chen Ziming immediately rejected the design when he saw it. He Fan's design was just an enhanced version of the building ship, and it was fine in calm seas. There is no doubt that it must be turned over, but there are records in history that building ships are not suitable for sea navigation.

Chen Ziming had to do it himself, draw the appearance of the galleons that appeared in later generations, and study them with He Fan and others. Chen Ziming proposed designs such as dragon skeletons, isolated secret warehouses, and masts, which impressed He Fan and others. , immediately start making models and start experimenting.

There are also some very professional things such as the grasp of various scales. Chen Ziming couldn't understand them, so he threw them to He Fan and others, and asked them to get some sea fish, and then instructed them to make fish hot pot, braised fish and other delicacies to enjoy slowly stand up.

He is not in a hurry to go back to Linzi, and there is nothing to do when he goes back. In this weather, the construction of the academy has basically stopped, and there are not many people on the street. It is better to eat fresh sea fish here.

Time passed slowly, and finally, when the new year came, Liu Bei sent someone to inform Chen Ziming that he would be in Linzi and prepare to spend the new year together.Upon hearing this, Chen Ziming immediately packed up and saluted and returned to Linzi.

I told He Fan and the others that I need money to find Jian Yong, and I need to buy the timber and other materials for shipbuilding by myself, and if I can solve it with money, don't bother him.

As for building roads and harbors, leave them to Zhang Liu, and ask Jian Yong for reimbursement of all the expenses.

Gan Ning also went to Jian Yong himself for his military salary. He had Liu Bei's order, as long as he met the requirements, he could receive it.

Then Chen Ziming walked away. He didn't know how much pressure a word of money put on Jian Yong, who was in charge of managing Liu Bei's money, so he had to go to Liu Bei and cry.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

"My lord, here is a list I prepared."

As soon as Chen Ziming came back, he took a piece of paper to find Liu Bei. There was no profound strategy on the paper, but a suggestion for year-end rewards, which was to give year-end rewards to everyone Liu Bei accepted.

"Well, yes, it should be according to the advice of the military advisor."

After reading it, Liu Bei pressed the seal and sent someone to Jian Yong.

"All soldiers and officials will not be given two stones of grain, five hundred coins, and the families of soldiers who died in battle will be given twice as much!"

"Every time the grade is upgraded, a layer of hair will be added!"

"How much money does it cost, how much food does it need, who came up with this!"

Jian Yong, who already had the idea of ​​a miser, yelled after seeing the reward form issued by Liu Bei, wondering how much money it would cost again.

Two stones of grain is about [-] catties in modern times, and five hundred yuan is not too much. It is almost two months' salary of some officials. Liu Bei has more money in his hands, and the treatment of officials is the best among all big men.

No matter whether they are soldiers or ordinary officials, they are treated the same, so it is very rich to be a small official here in Liu Bei, and many scholars are willing to come here to develop.

"Let me do the math, now the lord has 24 soldiers and more than 1000 officials, and then he has not been promoted to one level, and then..."

"Forget it, forget it..." In the end, Jian Yong, who was dizzy, gave up. He couldn't figure out how much it would cost, but the main cost was the army, which was too numerous.

"Well, it seems that I have to get in touch with Mi Zizhong." Jian Yong is one of the few people who knows the relationship between Mi Zhu and Liu Bei, and he is usually in contact with Mi Zhu. When he is short of money, he thinks of Mi Zhu, the God of Wealth. .

At this time, Chen Ziming, who added a lot of expenses to Jian Yong, was bragging with several of Liu Bei's top counselors. Although they were very talented, they all held high positions.

But they have one thing in common, that is, they are not very old, and many of them have not yet married wives and children.

"Why are you all so happy?"

At this time Liu Bei walked into the hall.

"My lord, we are saying that Yuan Zhi should marry a wife, but Mrs. Xu was still beating Yuan Zhi yesterday, calling her unfilial."

Sun Qian, who has always been the most active, immediately revealed the scandal about Xu Shu.As for Xu Shu's old lady, with Chen Ziming around, how could the tragedy in history happen again.

"Hahaha, Yuan Zhi should marry a wife."

Liu Bei happily took the first seat, and then called everyone to sit down.

"Why isn't Xianhe here?"

After Liu Bei sat down, he found that Jian Yong, who had fallen into Qian's eyes recently, was not there, so he asked?

"My lord, I heard that Xianhe is settling accounts at the office, and seems to have encountered some difficulties."

Chen Gong replied.

"Haha, this Xianhe, let's ignore him, come here, and give me the New Year's gift I prepared for all the sages."

Liu Bei shouted happily to the outside.

"I don't know what it is?"

"Could it be a great Confucian calligraphy and painting?"

"Look at Chiya!"

As Liu Bei's voice fell, a group of maids came in with terminal trays, and there was a roll of paper on the side of the trays. As for the contents on them, I don't know what it is.

"This is!?"

Chen Ziming picked up the paper handed to him by the maid, and opened it to see that it was a painting, not a landscape, but a painting of a delicate and beautiful woman.

There is also a line of characters under the painting, Cai Yan, styled Wenji, sixteen years old, erudite and talented, good at rhythm, no marriage contract, daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong.Now he lives with the great Confucian scholar Cai Yong in Linzi Confucianism Museum.

"Damn, what's going on, why is this old man Cai Yong here, he should be dying in Chang'an soon, and why is his daughter here too."

It seems that Chen Ziming's first reaction to this scroll painting is disbelief. According to history, Cai Yan will experience her tragic life, but because Cai Yan is not a strategist, Chen Ziming ignores this super beauty of the Three Kingdoms.
