Datang Library

"Okay, Mingyuan, hurry up and supervise the building of the ship. The big ship is [-]% complete. I have given up a handful of old bones and I will go get it back myself." Li Yuan said proudly.

Feng An and Bai Fan hurriedly stopped him, why is this old man so excited?

"Your Majesty, looking at the vastness of the sea, it must not be as simple as a few days of sailing. According to the current speed of the ship, it may take a year and a half to arrive. There are many risks in sailing at sea. You are already over 60, and you can't bear this hard work. .

Besides, Jian Jian talked about the place but did not say whether there is a country here, such a large territory, there must be a strong country, if we go there rashly, it must be dangerous, let's listen to what Jian Jian has to say first. "

Bai Fan nodded, thinking that Feng An was calmer at this time, and he was not dazzled by the huge benefits.

"Here, and here, these two continents are unoccupied lands, large areas are uninhabited, even if there are people, they are uncivilized mountain savages, so we don't have to worry about being attacked."

Seeing that Li Yuan was about to speak, Bai Fan stopped him again and said, "I know what the old man means, since it is an unclaimed land, we should occupy it as soon as possible. Don't worry about it. Within a hundred years, no one will touch it except Datang. here.

All the territory can be mapped in detail, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the first step in the rise of a great power is self-improvement!

When the people can't get enough to eat, talk about expansion.

We can't even cross this ocean now, so what if we see immortal food in front of us?The first step is to look at Feng Gong's shipbuilding, when will he build an ocean-going ship, and when will he go to sea.

The reason why this matter is kept secret is because they are afraid that outsiders will know that there are shocking treasures overseas.

That's why I want to entrust this matter to the Feng family. Apart from Datang, only the Feng family can complete this matter.

And the Feng family has been loyal and good for generations, and it is my sincerity in Tang Dynasty to give this merit to them. If this matter is the destiny, it will be accomplished in three years.

Old man, when the time comes, will Datang dare to allow the Feng family to be the first prince with a different surname? "

Bai Fan asked Li Yuan, and Li Yuan said loudly: "With such great merit, what is a king with a different surname? I will go and tell Erlang personally that Xu Feng's family is the king side by side!"

Feng An expressed gratitude to Li Yuan: "I thank the Supreme Emperor and Datang for their trust. I understand the meaning of the brief. The reason why I put this matter in the Feng Family Ancestral Hall is to remind my ancestors of the legacy: China is orthodox!

Such a shocking thing, Lingnan is located in a remote place, there are soldiers and people, and there are goods, food, and grass. If he becomes a king himself, he will be the biggest enemy in the south of the Tang Dynasty.

The minister Feng An swears an oath to the ancestral tablet here. The Feng family has been loyal and good for generations.So there is no need for the Tang Dynasty to shoulder the title of king, thank you for the kindness of the Supreme Emperor, and please take it back. "

Bai Fan laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Feng sees this matter clearly."

Li Yuan pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "Since I'm not allowed to go with this old bone, then I want Yuan Ji to go for me."

Bai Fan was speechless, why did he insist on meddling?Staring at Li Yuan, he asked, "Old man, the Li family is already the most prominent royal family in the Tang Dynasty, so why bother to reap this merit? Will it not be enough to expand the territory by then?"

"I'm not old enough yet, how can those merits compare with the merits of immortal grain and living people? Dynasties have their ups and downs, and your boy said to make the Tang Dynasty ten thousand years, but can you let alone, ask for immortal grain, as the preservation of the Li family?" What's wrong with an amulet of incense?"

"You still have a long-term vision, so according to your calculation, will our Bai family also have a hand? At that time, everyone who knows will go, and there will not be much credit for this handed down."

"Then I don't care. As the royal family, Datang risked his life to send people to ask for immortal food. This incident will definitely become a good story in history. How many people you can think of is up to you."

Bai Fan was speechless, is he such an old rascal?

"Okay, the original plan remains the same, the Feng family trains the sea navy, especially the sailors, Mr. Feng, please personally supervise the manufacture of sea ships, and keep the matter of obtaining overseas immortal food a secret before the big ships go to sea.

When the ship is fully completed, I will personally come to discuss the matter of going to sea. King Qi will go with the Feng family's fleet. "

Feng Ang solemnly assured: "Feng will handle this matter personally, and it will be absolutely safe."

"During the year of shipbuilding, Lingnan can send small troops to the south to occupy some small deserted islands or cities step by step, and use them as supply locations for going to sea in the future. I will draw a detailed map for you. What technical assistance is needed, Mr. Feng You can also let me know at any time, in short, after a year after the big ship is completed, whether we can successfully send the fleet to sea, it all depends on Feng Gong!"

Bai Fan saluted Feng An respectfully!

Twenty days later, Bai Fan was taking his family on vacation at the seaside, when he was told that the chief executive was invited.When he returned to the Lingnan City Lord's Mansion, Bai Fan realized that the one-month deadline had come, and the three tasks he sent out had already come to fruition.

Seeing the appearance of the three sons, Bai Fan roughly knew the result in his heart.

"According to the master's regulations, I took a hundred brothers and traveled all over the Lingnan coast for a month, and finally recruited [-] warriors who were fishermen. This trip is complete, and I am here to pay the order to the master!" Feng Zhichen came out and said loudly.

"According to the drawing in the master's album, I have traveled all over the Lingnan area in the past month, and finally found out the distribution of these more than 100 kinds of trees, and they are all recorded. Please have a look." Feng Zhiyu presented a thick book The booklet said loudly.

After Bai Fan took it, he didn't look through it in a hurry, but looked at the remaining second son of the Feng family, Feng Zhidai.

But after a long silence, the young master was unable to speak up. With a face full of shame, he saw Bai Fan looking at him with a questioning look, and Feng Zhidai bit the bullet and said: "The clan forests in the south of the Lingnan area, education and governance It's a chronic disease, and my qualifications are dull, but I haven't been able to come up with a solution after thinking hard for a month.

I saw Mr. Lingnan strategy at my father's place, and I knew that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky. It is Zhidai who is short-sighted. I admit defeat in the previous bet, and feel that I am not qualified enough to be my husband's disciple. Zhidai resigns! "

After Feng Zhidai finished speaking, he was about to salute and leave, but Bai Fan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter whether you win or lose the bet. It is my real test that you can take on the task and take it seriously. If you can solve everything perfectly? Then What else to study? What do you want the teacher to do?

In the past, you were the three dandies in Lingnan. This test was just to let you see your responsibilities clearly and focus on major national affairs. Now that the goal has been achieved, I will fulfill the agreement and promise Feng Gong to accept you as disciples. Do you know if the three of you are willing? "

The three of them were not stupid, they looked at each other in surprise, then knelt down to Bai Fan, kowtowed and called Master!

After Feng An heard about this, he was very relieved, thinking that Mr. Bai is really good at teaching, and solemnly held a teacher apprenticeship ceremony according to the ancient etiquette.

In the blink of an eye, it has been two months since everyone came to Lingnan. It can be said that this is the most chic and relaxing two months for Bai Fan. He bathed in the sun on the beach, with two beautiful wives in his arms, enjoying himself all day long.

Except for one hour every day to help Feng An come up with ideas to manage the local area, he is teaching his apprentices and playing with his wife and children.

Counting the time, everyone has been out of Chang'an for three or four months. They went out in April, and now it is August. Things are almost arranged, and they may be going back.

Bai Fan was still thinking about when to return home, but he didn't know that a fast horse with a speed of [-] miles was already on the way to call him.

Chapter 324 Lingnan Incident Chang'an Urgent Move

"Zhi Dai, if you can train a thousand elite sailors who memorize navigation strategies within a year, it will be a great achievement. I will soon return to Chang'an as a teacher. I have only taught you three brothers for two months. As for the solution, the three of you grew up in Lingnan since you were young, and now you will have heavy responsibilities to stay here, and come to Zhongnan Academy to study after the general situation is established." Bai Fan told Feng Zhidai.

Feng Zhidai was a little bit reluctant, and dissuaded him: "I don't know why Master is in such a hurry to go back. You brothers are in Lingnan like a fish in water, and no one wants to go back. Why don't you and your wife just play here for a while."

Bai Fan shook his head, but didn't tell him that his itinerary was complete, and it was not a thing to go on a tour with the old man all the time. He always had a premonition in his heart that something was going to happen in Chang'an.

"Report, Mr. Bai, the second son, the special envoy of Chang'an Kuaima came to call for Mr. Bai urgently, and the chief manager asked his subordinates to come and find Mr. Bai."

A guard of the Lingnan City Lord's Mansion came to report urgently, Bai Fanxin said, "If you are afraid of anything coming, don't delay any longer, and quickly rush back to the City Lord's Mansion with the guards."

Inside the city lord's mansion, Feng An was waiting for Bai Fan at the door, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Bai Fan's sleeve and said, "Your Majesty has sent eight hundred li to hurry up and come here day and night to look for you. Come and see, someone will deliver the letter." Already passed out, this is the secret letter taken out of his arms.

We dare not open it without permission because there is a seal of seal on it. "

Bai Fan took the letter and quickly opened it. After reading it, he slapped his thigh. No wonder he remembered something and forgot it. It turned out to be like this. In the twelfth lunar month of last year, Bai Fan entered the palace to see a doctor for the emperor's family, and accidentally diagnosed the empress. The eldest grandson is pregnant again, and he once told Li Er that he must tell him to go and protect him when he gives birth.It is already August, and the queen will give birth in a month.

According to Sun Simiao's diagnosis, the delivery will be [-] to [-] days ahead of schedule, so Bai Fan has at most [-] days left, and Bai Fan is still obsessed with Lingnan for self-entertainment, so Li Er Kuaima rushed to recall him .

"Come on, hurry up and find the old man, and Li Yuanba come back to the City Lord's Mansion!" Bai Fan shouted.

Soon someone sent a message quickly.

Bai Fan pulled Feng An and began to explain the matter of leaving Lingnan one by one. Feng An also knew that the matter was urgent, so he didn't just keep it.
