Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

But perhaps inspired by what Zhao Kuo said earlier, Zhao Qian woke up Zhao Zheng in high spirits early the next morning.

"Brother Zheng, let's go, we will go to Weifu for a private visit just like father!"

Chapter 1251 Zhao Qian's private interview on Weibo

After hearing Zhao Qian's words, Zhao Zheng was obviously taken aback.

But after a few seconds, Zhao Zheng nodded: "Yes, but first arrange security guards, the prince will wait here."

After speaking, Zhao Zheng left.

Watching Zhao Zheng leave, Zhao Qian opened his mouth and sighed helplessly after a while: "Actually, I really don't want to take a large group of people to protect secretly."

But Zhao Qian also knew that once such a matter was determined by Zhao Zheng, he would not change it, especially when it was related to principled issues such as personal safety.

Half an hour later, Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng, who had disguised themselves, started to set off.

This is a small city developed on the basis of the East China Sea Fleet. Originally it was just a barracks for craftsmen responsible for building the East China Sea Fleet. Later, various businessmen gradually appeared, and then brothels appeared. Then in just a few years it completely turned into a city.

It is precisely because of the special origin of this city that it was named Donghai City.

Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng walked in Donghai City. The streets here carried a faint smell of the ocean, which made Zhao Zheng frown from time to time. He has seasickness.

Zhao Qian was in high spirits, looking left and right along the way.

Due to the reforms promoted by Zhao Kuo in Pingkangfang, there are shops on both sides of the newly built city streets, and all kinds of vendors are very hard to greet.

"You two, do you want to try fresh and delicious sea fish?

discount price! "

"You two, do you need to buy firewood or steel?

Come to our store to have a look, if you have a large quantity, you can get a discount. "

"You two young masters, do you want to come to our Yingchun Pavilion to play?

All the girls here are the most considerate, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied! "

Zhao Qian was embarrassed by the enthusiastic bustard at the end, so he walked quickly.

After walking for a while, Zhao Qian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Zhao Zheng, "Come on, let's go over there and have a look."

At a corner next to the street, an old man was setting up a street stall, and beside him was a little girl who looked about five or six years old.

Zhao Qian walked to the old man's stall with a smile. The old man glanced at Zhao Qian and found that Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng were both wearing silk clothes, and immediately showed a panicked expression.

According to normal logic, it is impossible for a nobleman wearing silk to come to this kind of stall to buy fish, so the old man subconsciously felt that this might be trouble.

The little girl obviously didn't think too much, she smiled and said to Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng: "Big brothers, do you need to buy fish?

They were all brought back from the sea by my grandfather just today! "

The old man was taken aback, quickly grabbed the little girl, and yelled softly: "These two gentlemen are nobles, how could they buy our fish?

Don't talk nonsense! "

Zhao Qian laughed and squatted down in front of the old man's booth.

A unique smell of sea fish rushed into Zhao Qian's nose, Zhao Qian couldn't help frowning, but he quickly suppressed this uncomfortable feeling, and showed a gentle smile towards the little girl.

"What kind of fish do you think tastes better?

Let me recommend it to my brother. "

The little girl was obviously startled by what the old man said just now, she looked at the old man hesitantly, and said nothing.

The old man was also hesitant. The smile on Zhao Qian's face never faded, and he nodded very gently towards the old man.

The old man gritted his teeth and said to the little girl: "Since the young master has already given orders, then you should tell the young master quickly, remember not to talk nonsense."

After the little girl heard this sentence, she immediately became happy. She squatted down and pointed at a strange-looking fish in front of her, and said crisply: "This fish is delicious. , I eat it every day at home, big brother, you buy it back and make it carefully, it must be delicious."

Zhao Qian smiled and said to the old man, "Just buy this fish, tell me how much it is?"

The old man became more and more terrified, and hurriedly said: "Master, you are joking, it is my honor that you can come to this old man's booth, how dare you take your money?

You just take it. "

Zhao Qian laughed, and said to the old man gently and firmly: "This old man's words are not right. Our Emperor of the Han Dynasty said that no noble or official can bully the common people by virtue of their status. Otherwise, you will be punished by the national law.

What's more, this fish was brought back by the old man who went out to sea so hard. How could I take it away without sharing it? Please tell me a fair market price. I really want to buy it today. "

After hearing Zhao Qian's words and seeing Zhao Qian's firm attitude, the old man was obviously shaken, and he could only say, "The money for this fish is 14 renminbi, you just give it as you see."

Zhao Qian smiled and nodded, reaching for his pocket, suddenly his body froze.

As His Royal Highness, Zhao Qian is obedient and obedient in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Where is the time when he needs money?

So Zhao Qian usually does not bring money when he goes out, and today is no exception.

Just when Zhao Qian fell into embarrassment, Zhao Zheng behind him suddenly spoke.

"Master, I have money here."

Zhao Zheng took out a bunch of money, counted it, and handed over 14 coins to the old man.

After the old man took the money, he was obviously relieved, and thanked Zhao Qian repeatedly.

Zhao Qian felt that the old man had obviously relaxed a lot, and thought it was time to talk, so he smiled and opened his mouth.

"Old man, I also have a few questions here to ask you, I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

The old man smiled very honestly, and said to Zhao Qian: "Young master, if you have any questions, just ask, I will tell you all, and there will be absolutely no concealment."

Zhao Qian smiled and said to the old man: "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to ask if there are other people in the old man's family?"

The old man smiled and nodded and said: "There are two sons and two daughters. This child is my youngest granddaughter. We don't have time to take care of her on weekdays, so I take him with me."

Only then did Zhao Qian heave a sigh of relief. He originally thought that the old man and his granddaughter were dependent on each other, and he wanted to help, but judging from the current situation, it was obvious that Zhao Qian was overwhelmed.

Zhao Qian also laughed and said: "Since you are at your age, your children must have all grown up, so why don't you enjoy yourself at home?

Could it be that it is more difficult at home? "

The old man laughed, and said with some complacency: "My lord, you don't know. In fact, my family's conditions are pretty good. My two children have already joined the East China Sea Fleet and are now senior naval soldiers. It is the salaries and military rewards that the two of them received when they joined the army, which is enough for our family to live a comfortable life.

Although I'm old, if I don't work, I'm really uncomfortable. So now I go out to sea to fish every day, and see if I can sell it for some money, which has become a hobby of mine. "

After listening to what the old man said, Zhao Qian couldn't help opening his mouth in surprise.

You must know that when Zhao Qian first saw the grandparents and grandchildren, the image in his mind should be that the grandparents and grandchildren depended on each other, were lonely, and were struggling in this world.

It turned out to be better now. After careful questioning, the life of this grandpa and grandson is actually very comfortable. Even this grandpa is simply the type that is said to be itchy all over after retirement and has to find something to do.

In other words, not only are they not miserable at all, but they are very nourishing.

Zhao Qian settled down and couldn't help laughing: "If this is really the case, then I'm relieved."

Indeed, for Zhao Qian, he has now been completely taught by Zhao Kuo's previous education, and he sincerely hopes that the life of every common people in the Han Kingdom will become better.

Now the life experience of the grandpa and grandson is undoubtedly completely in line with what Zhao Qian wants to see.

Now the atmosphere of the conversation became more and more relaxed, Zhao Qian smiled and said to the old man: "Old man, don't you know that going to sea is a very dangerous thing?

You go to sea alone, and you are so old, don't you worry about what happens at sea? "

After hearing Zhao Qian's words, the old man also laughed out loud, and said to Zhao Qian: "My lord, I just don't know something. For an old bone like me, death is no longer a thing that will be accepted by others." I'm afraid of things now.

I don’t know if the young master has ever been out at sea. If he has, then the young master will know that the sea is actually a very magical place. The old man has seen all kinds of people over the years and has been rescued by many enthusiastic fishermen. Life at sea is very exciting and unpredictable, you never know what will happen to you next.

It is this kind of unknown feeling that attracts my old bones. Maybe one day I will die at sea due to some unexpected events or even have no bones left, but for me, this may not be the end of a new wish. "

Listening to the old man's words, Zhao Qian gradually showed an expression of admiration on his face, and said from the bottom of his heart: "I never thought that Lao Zang still has such great ambitions in his heart. I really admire him. Presumably, the two children of the old man are also talents in the navy, and they will definitely make amazing contributions to our great Han country in the future."

After Zhao Qian said these two sentences, the old man's face turned red all of a sudden, he waved his hands and said with a smile: "Sir, don't praise me, in fact, I am an old bone who can't read a word. I also experienced war back then. I also fought naval battles with the people of Chu. For me, peace is very hard-won.

So I always teach my two children that they must serve our Great Han Kingdom well, because only if the comrades of the Great Han Kingdom continue, peace will become possible for us ordinary people. "

Zhao Qian was also completely relaxed. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "The old man's words are so true. I also heard His Majesty say that peace can only be achieved with the guarantee of strong force." , only if our strength is strong enough, other countries will not dare to invade us easily.

I hope that the Han Kingdom will become stronger in the future, and I also hope that your life will get better and better, old man. "

After hearing Zhao Qian's words, the old man slapped his thigh, and the wrinkles on his face spread out with a smile. He nodded and said, "My lord, a person like you really has a level. I have said everything I thought, and we will have an official like you in the Han Kingdom in the future, and this old man is absolutely confident in the future of the Han Kingdom."

It was getting late during the conversation, and the sun was about to set unknowingly.

So Zhao Zheng, who was standing behind him, coughed and reminded softly, "Young master should go back, otherwise the master will be worried."

Zhao Qian looked at the sky and knew that if he was still outside too late, it might cause some trouble to the security personnel.

So Zhao Qian smiled and said to the old man: "Let's stop talking today, if there is a fate some other day, let's continue talking.

I also took the old man's fish back. When the time comes, let the cook at home prepare these dishes and drink a few more glasses of wine. "

Hearing this, the old man naturally nodded with a smile.

Zhao Qian thought about it when he left, and suddenly took a bracelet from his hand, put it gently on the little girl's hand, and said to the little girl with a smile: "This is a gift from the big brother. Take it with you in the future."

The old man was startled when he saw this, and quickly declined, saying, "My lord, it's too precious. She's just a little girl, how can she be worthy of such a precious treasure?"

Zhao Qian laughed, and said to the old man: "It's okay, it's just some gadgets at home, and it's only worth a few hundred dollars when sold. Just give her a little as a souvenir, so take it with peace of mind."

Although the old man still wanted to delay, Zhao Qian had already stood up, waved his hand with a smile, and disappeared into the night together with Zhao Zheng.

After a while, Zhao Qian, who was far away, suddenly stopped and said a word to Zhao Zheng.

"Brother Zheng, remember to arrange someone to take care of this little girl. I don't want anything bad to happen to her because of this bracelet."

Zhao Zheng nodded with great certainty, and said, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Zhao Qian chuckled, and suddenly said something to himself.

"It turns out that the people of our Great Han Kingdom have reached such a level of life in just a few short years?

It seems that there is nothing wrong with what the father said, only development is the last word. "

Chapter 1252 Steel Ships Can Do It

Zhao Zheng immediately agreed with Zhao Qian's words.

Up to now, the two sons and adopted sons of Zhao Kuo can be said to be deeply influenced by Zhao Kuo, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they regard Zhao Kuo's words as the bible.

Zhao Qian said with a smile: "Actually, frankly speaking, it is indeed a very happy thing to see our people living such a good life now."

Zhao Zheng did not continue to speak, but nodded, expressing his agreement with this opinion.

The two continued to walk forward, and soon reached the circle of this small city.

There are not many stories worth remembering in such a small city, so after spending several hours, the two went around and returned to the pier.

Zhao Qian looked around, and there was still a bit of unwillingness on his face. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with the feeling of just walking for a while.

Zhao Zheng noticed Zhao Qian's thoughts, and suddenly said: "His Royal Highness, isn't there a shipyard nearby?

Maybe there we can discover something new. "

Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment after hearing this sentence, and finally slapped his thigh and laughed and said, "Why did I forget about this matter, let's go and take a look at the shipyard."

You must know that this is the base of the East China Sea Fleet, but it is actually the base of the fleet, so there must be a shipyard that needs maintenance. In this way, the task of building ships will naturally be handed over to this shipyard.

Since the State of Zhao destroyed the State of Qi in advance and then the State of Chu, it is said that the Donghai Fleet Shipyard in this place is actually the first shipyard established by the Han State.

The prince decided that he needed to visit the shipyard. This was a big deal. The director of the shipyard, as well as many craftsmen and officials in the factory also came out to welcome him.

Zhao Qian imitated Zhao Kuo's appearance, nodding his head with a breezy smile on his face while not forgetting to watch the many officials in front of him.

It is worth mentioning that when the shipyard stands, its order is very particular. The big craftsmen stand in the front, and the officials responsible for daily management are relatively less important. .

Zhao Qian looked around and said: "Everyone, today, I mainly come here to take a look around, don't be nervous, just do what you have to do, as long as the factory manager and a few people who know some technology are left behind. It is enough for officials and artisans to explain things to me.”

Zhao Qian has learned a lot of Zhao Kuo's advantages, the most obvious of which is Zhao Qian's approachable appearance, and he really wants to get along with the bottom people from the bottom of his heart, not the kind of hypocrisy that is forced to pretend .

After hearing Zhao Qian's words, many people present secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

For them, His Royal Highness Zhao Qian is definitely a big shot standing on the clouds, and it is not good to talk to such a big shot, maybe even their life is at stake in this life.

Nowadays, being able to see Zhao Qian's appearance with his own eyes without having to talk too much with Zhao Qian is definitely the best performance in that kind of ideal.

Accompanied by the factory manager and several craftsman officials, he patrolled around the shipyard soon.

Today's East China Sea Fleet shipyard is also intensively taking care of many ships, but the situation of these ships is actually somewhat unexpected by Zhao Qian.

Originally, Zhao Qian thought that he was building more warships, but the fact is that among the 5 docks of the Donghai Fleet Shipyard, 4 of them were building giant transport ships, and only one was building the Yuhuang battleship. It is the most powerful warship in the Han Kingdom today.
