After three years of enfeoffment, the waste prince shocked the court boss

"Those red-haired barbarians have been able to sail to our Dagan to buy our silk tea and pepper."

"As long as they can return to their country alive, at least they can buy a Baron Dangdang, let alone a manor."

"If it weren't for such huge profits, how could these red-haired people risk their lives to come thousands of miles away."

"King An proposed the strategy of giving to the barbarians to control the barbarians. According to the veterans, this is a golden and good word."

"Your Majesty has given birth to a good son. The future of Daqian will definitely be in Lingnan."

Having lived in Lingnan for a long time, Jia Siyan knew Li Su's plan very well, and he himself very much agreed with what Li Su said.

Lingnan University also specially opened courses in maritime navigation and translation studies in advance.

Chapter 114 Candidates for Training the Navy

Emperor Qian left.

It's not that he doesn't want to stay, it's because he's busy with affairs, and there are still mountain-like memorials in the capital waiting for him to see.

This trip to Lingnan really made him see it.

It turns out that the prosperity of Lingnan has long surpassed that of the capital city. It turns out that Lingnan's business is so prosperous.

The academic atmosphere of Lingnan University made him see scenes from ancient saints.

Everything here makes Emperor Qian fascinated, and even has an urge to stay.

But it's all just a thought.

Emperor Qian still left, got on the train, and took away the [-] carts of goods that Li Su had given him, feeling satisfied.

This time, Emperor Qian took the important ministers of the court to visit Lingnan, which further strengthened the imperial court's plan to support the construction of Lingnan.

At the same time, Emperor Qian also had an idea that Dagan would need a qualified helm in the future.

After sending Emperor Qian away, Li Su can finally concentrate on planning his own ocean trade.

This time he had the support of the imperial court, but he threw off his arms and worked hard, and there would no longer be any inexplicable people jumping out to stop him.

Now his ironclad battleship is already under construction, and the rest is only a matter of time.

When the ironclad battleship is launched, he will be able to initially form the sea trade.

But before that, Li Su had one more thing to settle.

Haimao is not a simple business, and it is impossible for you to buy and sell so fairly.

If you want to make a fortune at sea, force comes first.

Those red-haired barbarians who traveled across the ocean and came to Dagan, who hadn't experienced many lives and deaths.

Sea beasts, pirates, storms, anything that can kill a boatload of people.

Even if Li Su owns an ironclad battleship, he still faces the risk of being hijacked when facing a large group of pirates.

Therefore, Li Su had to set up his own navy before organizing maritime trade.

Even if they can't form an army, there must be enough and elite sea guards.

In order to be able to build a sea force that can fight tough battles and is elite enough, Li Su approached Jia Siyan for advice.

"Jia Xiang, the boy wants to open up maritime trade and form an ocean-going fleet."

"It's just that the fleet lacks guards. Dagan stipulates that the feudal king can only be in charge of three thousand personal guards."

"It's difficult to train the army at sea for a while. I don't know how Jia Xiang taught me?"

How else can we say that an old family is like a treasure.

Jia Siyan has been a prime minister for many years, and his connections and knowledge are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

After hearing Li Su's thoughts, Jia Siyan thought for a while before he came up with an idea.

"Your Highness, don't worry, let the old man speak slowly."

"This dynasty is not good at naval warfare, and those inland naval generals are also difficult to take on heavy responsibilities."

"However, the old man recommends one person, and His Royal Highness is satisfied with the safekeeping."

"There was a navy general named Liu Qi in the previous dynasty..."

According to Jia Siyan's recommendation, this former navy general named Liu Qi is not easy.

The previous dynasty was good at naval warfare, so Liu Qineng will serve as the general of the navy, so there is no need to doubt his own ability.

At that time, Liu Qi became a naval general of the previous dynasty at a young age, and he had gained a great reputation in the East China Sea.

All the water bandits on the East China Sea ran away when they heard Liu Qi's name.

After the demise of the previous dynasty, the huge navy also fell apart.

Liu Qi didn't want to surrender to Dagan, so he took a group of sailors and went overseas.

Li Su was very interested in the person Jia Siyan mentioned.

The navy of this dynasty is just like what Jia Siyan said, it is not worth mentioning at all.

It's not that there are no generals who are good at naval warfare in this dynasty.

But Dagan has not been established for a long time, and most of the construction of the navy is in inland lakes and rivers.

The main function is also to suppress bandits.

The navy is different. The navy needs huge ships and mature naval soldiers.

None of this can be trained in a short period of time.

There were no large ocean-going ships in Lingnan before, and Li Su didn't have the conditions even if he wanted to train the navy.

Now if you want to own a navy immediately, you can only find a ready-made one as Jia Siyan said.

Liu Qi is a very suitable person.

When he left Dagan and went overseas, he brought warships and navy with him.

If you can subdue it, you can save a lot of time.

But subduing Liu Qi is not something that can be done with just an open mouth.

Although Jia Siyan knew about the existence of this person, he also knew that the other person left with many people with him.

But where the other party can settle in the vast sea, Li Su needs to send someone to find it.

Saying goodbye to Jia Siyan, Li Su immediately began to organize people to look for Liu Qi's trace.

This matter will eventually fall on Nightingale's head.

After so many years of development, Nightingale is no longer what it used to be.

Not only secretly monitor the southwestern countries, but also secretly go overseas for the future development of maritime trade.

Fusang Ryukyu and other places now have Nightingale spies.

The vast sea.

A cargo ship sails slowly in the monsoon.

This is a cargo ship going from Fusang to Lingnan, and a member of the Nightingale team is on board.

After receiving King An's order, the Nightingale team immediately began to search for Liu Qi's trace at sea.

It's just that this Liu Qi seems to have disappeared out of thin air. Neither Fusang Ryukyu nor many pirate forces have ever heard of Liu Qi's name.

When the news came back to Lingnan, Li Su couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

Jia Siyan's news couldn't be fake.

Liu Qi must have gone to sea at the beginning, but why there is no news.

People who make a living in the sea, even if they haven't met, they should have heard the name more or less.

As Liu Qi's former navy general, even if he can't become a dominant force in the sea, he should at least have a reputation.

Could it be that the other party has gone far away and is no longer living on the coast of Dagan.

If Liu Qi went to the other side of the ocean, let alone Li Su, even if the gods came, he would not be able to find him.

Upon learning of this situation, Li Su immediately recalled Changkong.

Finding Liu Qi is related to his great shipping business, and there must be no loss.

If he couldn't find the other party, where would he find an admiral with experience in leading troops.

Do you want to cultivate yourself from scratch, it will take years of the monkey.

Changkong returned to Lingnan and immediately launched an investigation.

The Nightingale team was established by him alone, and all the news channels came from him everywhere.

With the shot from the sky, things soon ushered in a turning point.

Liu Qi didn't go far overseas, but most people don't know his whereabouts.

Reluctantly, Chang Kong could only follow the news and implement it bit by bit.

After floating in the sea for a month, he finally found the clues of Liu Qi.

Li Su was very happy when the news came back to Lingnan.

His own sea guard has fallen.

It turned out that Liu Qi led his sailors and soldiers to leave Dagan and did not go far.

After going to Fuso Ryukyu, I went directly to Luzon Island.

After arriving in Luzon, I don't know what the original navy general thought, but he gave up the convenience of the sea. Not only did he not do pirates, he didn't even do maritime trade, and instead became a farmer.

Therefore, Liu Qi's name did not spread in the sea.

Chapter 115 Huaxia Survivors

As the news continued to spread, the information about Liu Qi became more and more abundant.

Gradually, Li Su felt a little surprised.

Displayed on the message sent back from the sky.

Liu Qi is indeed a former navy general and an admiral.

This is a naval officer, equivalent to a modern fleet commander.

It's no wonder that Dagan wanted to recruit this person after the fall of the previous dynasty.

It's just that the life of the former naval admiral is not easy.

According to the news from the sky, Liu Qi and his group are not doing well in Luzon, and the original warship has long been dilapidated.

A group of people make a living by farming, and they are struggling to survive.

As long as he thought of the admiral of the navy going to farm, Li Su felt inexplicably fantastic.

The tropical environment of Luzon Island is a good place to grow food.

It's just that Luzon's land is small and there are many indigenous people. I don't know if Liu Qi and his gang can grab enough land for cultivation.

Just when Li Su was about to let Chang Kong contact Liu Qi.

A piece of news made Li Su furious.

According to the letter, Luzon has now been occupied by [-] Frangians.

These Frangji people are the red-haired barbarians that can be seen everywhere in Lingnan Prefecture.

Frankie is a barbarian country on the other side of the ocean, relying on the advantages of ships to travel to and from the sea.

When Li Su saw these guys in Lingnan, he didn't like them very much.

These men looked more like robbers than businessmen.

If those people hadn't been afraid of Lingnan Mansion, they would have taken force against Lingnan Mansion long ago.

Chang Kong stated in the letter that after the Franji people occupied Lu Song, they directly enslaved the local aborigines in Lu Song.

Let the natives collect minerals, raw rubber, and wood for them.
