"Father's intention is not to establish a prince, but for the two-year period."

"Do you still remember this king's engagement?"

Yu Huatian's eyes darkened slightly, and he said, "His Royal Highness's engagement is two years away."

Zheng Ming strolled in the garden with his hands behind his back, and said, "If this king guessed correctly, two years later will be the time when his plan will be completed."

"Duke Ding knew about his plans, so he asked for a marriage."

"That is to say, Duke Ding doesn't have much confidence in what he's planning, so he chose a way out for Duke Ding's mansion in advance."

Yu Huatian pondered for a moment, then said: "From this point of view, His Majesty's plan should be very dangerous."

"Yes, maybe it won't bring disaster to Dali, but it may bring catastrophe to the court." Zheng Ming said.

Zheng Qingsong's plan will definitely pose a great threat to Bailianzong, and may even overthrow Bailianzong in one fell swoop, but the risk in this must be great.

Zheng Qingsong is betting again, betting on the future fate of the royal family.

"Then what shall we do next? Do you want to investigate His Majesty's plan?" Yu Huatian asked

Zheng Ming waved his hand and said, "No, we can't get involved in this matter. It's his battlefield. If we enter it rashly, I'm afraid it will disrupt his arrangements."

He was very curious about Zheng Qingsong's plan and wanted to know the details.But he still decided not to participate, because Ding Guogong and Wei Gonggong had reminded him.

Besides, he is Zheng Qingsong's son and belongs to the Dali royal family. No matter what Zheng Qingsong wants to do, he should stand by Zheng Qingsong's side.

Zheng Ming thought for a while, and then said, "Is it possible to complete the arrangement of the Jinyiwei in the Dali Dynasty within two years?"

You can't interfere with the affairs of the capital, but you can't stop the expansion of Jinyiwei.Not only can't stop, but also become stronger within two years.

Not only Jinyiwei, but the entire Shanhai County will become stronger.

He had a premonition that two years later, Dali would usher in a storm in all directions.

If the ship of Shanhai County wants to survive this storm safely, it must have strong strength.

"This slave will live up to His Highness's trust." Yu Huatian bowed and said.

……

Before I knew it, another two months had passed.

Zheng Ming ushered in his second winter in Shanhai County.

This year, the northern monsoon still blows from the sea, and the merchant ships of the Great Jin Dynasty went south again in large numbers. Without the Blue Mountain Sect, the merchant ships of the Great Jin Dynasty not only did not decrease, but increased a lot.

Shanhai County has once again ushered in a new business era.

Hundreds of sea ships shuttled back and forth above the sea area, and the name of Shanhai County resounded through the three surrounding dynasties in just one year.

At the same time, the new city in Shanhai County is also well established. Although many buildings have not been completed, they have already shown the scale of the city.

And the palace built together with the new city can't be left behind. Except for the green plants, all other buildings have been completed.

When Zheng Ming heard that his palace was completed, he couldn't wait to bring Lian Xing and the others to have a look.

As a result, I was disappointed.

The houses and buildings are much more exquisite than the Wangfu in Shanhai County, but they are not worth seeing.

As for the swimming pool and artificial lake that Zheng Ming specifically explained, since the mountain spring has just been drained, there is still very little water in the lake, and it is estimated that the artificial lake will not be full in a month.

Coupled with the lack of green plants, the huge palace looks very desolate.

"It seems that we won't be able to move here until next summer." Zheng Ming said with some disappointment.

After strolling around, Zheng Ming lost interest, but it was still early, and he didn't want to rush to the county, so he came to the shipyard.

Chapter 1: The Gathering of Heroes

"Your Majesty loses revenge and pays homage to Your Highness!"

As soon as he heard that Zheng Ming was coming, the little old man Gongshuchou came running over, with a bright smile on his ugly face, looking a little funny.

"Mr. Gongshu, you have worked hard." Zheng Ming patted him on the shoulder and said.

"It's not hard to serve His Highness." Gong Shuchou said with a flattering smile.

When everyone entered the shipyard, it immediately caused a sensation.

Today's shipyard is not what it was a year ago. The total number of workers has exceeded a thousand, and many of them are professional technicians.

Just this year, Gongshuchou took in more than 100 disciples, and most of them were in this shipyard.

"Meet Your Highness!"

Seeing Zheng Ming, a group of workers paid homage one after another.

Zheng Ming smiled lightly and said, "Get up, I'm just here to take a look around, you guys continue to work."

Afterwards, the officials of the shipyard took the workers away, and Zheng Ming wandered casually in the dock.

At this time, a large ship was lying quietly in the dock.It is about 40 meters long and 2 meters wide. It is tall and big, with a raised bottom, raised head and tail, 3 masts, [-] floors of cabins, and the deck is as high as a city.

Zheng Ming asked Gong Shuchou, "Is this the lucky boat you newly designed?"

Gong Shuchou replied: "Return to Your Highness, it is exactly. This ship is specially designed by the officials for the navy. It can be driven by sails and oars at the same time. Its speed is far faster than ordinary sea ships. It is also equipped with 32 crossbows."

Since the mirage was vetoed by Zheng Ming, Gongshuchou has designed several ships that fit the situation in Shanhai County.

There are large lucky boats, medium-sized bird boats, wheel boats, haicang boats, and small fast boats. It can be said that all aspects of the navy have been considered.

Zheng Ming asked, "How long will it take to manufacture this ship?"

Gongshu Qiudao: "One large blessing ship can be manufactured in five months. Currently, the shipyard has four large docks, and four ships can be built at the same time."

Zheng Ming stared at the majestic hull, his mind swayed for a while.

With this big ship, the navy of Shanhai County can be called a real navy.

To be honest, the former sailors were more like pirates. After all, most of the sailors were pirates. Even after rigorous training, they were not as good as real sailors.Because the gap between ships and equipment is too great.

It's different now, as long as all the navy's ships are replaced, they will be no worse than the real navy.

The real navy that Zheng Ming thought of was the navy of the Great Jin Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty. These two dynasties had tens of thousands of sailors, deterring the surrounding waters.

Even the weak Dongying Dynasty has a powerful navy, but the navy of the Dongying Dynasty usually stays on the east side of Yinshen Island where the shogunate is located.

Since Zheng Ming wanted to make waves at sea, his target was naturally the navy of the major dynasties.

"Currently, how many lucky boats are equipped by the Navy." He asked.

"Returning to Your Highness, four ships have been equipped, and these four ships are expected to be launched next month." Gong Shuchou said.

At present, there are two naval divisions in Shanhai County, Yuanhang and Shuai, with a total of more than [-] people, and it is almost enough to equip eight Fuchuan.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and continued to stroll around the shipyard.

……

With the development of business, the number of migrants in Shanhai County is increasing.

On the streets, merchants in brocade clothes can be seen everywhere, and horse-drawn carts and donkey carts full of goods come and go. The streets, which were supposed to be relatively wide, are now full of people.

Zheng Ming was wearing bright yellow brocade clothes, leading Song Baobao and Chen Duo, wandering around the streets like a family son.

"Your Highness, I heard that this newly opened restaurant has a famous dish, do you want to try it?"

Walking to a restaurant, Song Baobao stopped suddenly.

Zheng Ming stopped and looked into the restaurant.

I saw that the hall was full of guests, bustling and bustling, and it was very lively.

Dongli Restaurant!

At this time last year, there was only one restaurant in Shanhai County, but now there are more than ten restaurants in Shanhai County, and each one is very luxuriously decorated.

This Dongli Restaurant should have just opened last month, and Zheng Ming hasn't tried it yet.

"Go, go and see!"

Zheng Ming stepped forward and stepped into the restaurant.

"My lord, please come inside!" A waiter immediately greeted him.

"My lord, do you want to stay in the hotel or eat?"

Zheng Ming glanced at the lively lobby and said, "Give me a private room."

"Okay, sir, please go upstairs."

Xiao Er enthusiastically led Zheng Ming upstairs, and then arranged for Zheng Ming a private room facing the street.

"Guest officer, what would you like to eat?"

"Bring out your signature dishes, um, and a good pot of tea." Zheng Ming said casually.

Xiao Er responded and retreated.

In the private room, Zheng Ming sat by the window and casually watched the pedestrians coming and going on the street.

Suddenly, Zheng Ming frowned slightly.

The street was very lively and there were many pedestrians coming and going, but he found an unusual place.

That is, there seem to be a lot of warriors among them.

In just a moment, Zheng Ming saw more than a dozen warriors carrying weapons walking past the restaurant.

And when he came up from the first floor just now, he also saw many warriors.

In the past, Shanhai County was poor and there were few warriors. Now Shanhai County has Wuyuan, Yihua Palace, Beixuanzong, etc., and has trained many young warriors, but these warriors basically practice in Wuyuan or Zongmen.

Even if you leave the Wuyuan and Zongmen, you will be assigned to the army or the fleet.

It stands to reason that there would not be so many warriors wandering around in Shanhai County.

"Young master, please drink tea!"

At this moment, Xiao Er came in with a pot of tea.

Song Baobao stepped forward to take the tea, and when a cup arrived, Chen Duo tasted it before passing it to Zheng Ming.

"Xiaoer, have there been many warriors in the city recently?" Zheng Ming asked.

Xiaoer laughed flatteringly: "Returning to the son, there are indeed many people. It is said that there are some treasures in Shanhai County. These people are here to hunt for treasures."

"Treasure!" Zheng Ming was stunned.

"That's right, I heard that it is the treasure house of the Heavenly Lotus Sect, but I don't know the specifics." Xiao Er still had a smile on his face.

When Zheng Ming saw him like this, he didn't know what it meant.

He took out two silver dollars from his waist and threw them to him, saying, "Stop talking nonsense, just say what you know."

Seeing the silver dollars rolling on the table, Xiao Er's eyes lit up immediately.

"Oh, thank you, Young Master, for the reward. The little one knows everything without saying anything."

He picked up the silver dollar and put it in his pocket, and said: "The Heavenly Lotus Sect was a cult a hundred years ago. The Hundred Refining Sect took action and wiped them out."

Xiao Er lowered his voice and said: "It is said that Tianlian Sect has three treasure houses, one of which was obtained by Bailianzong, and the other two are in Luoyu Mountain and Yushui River. A treasure map appeared in the rivers and lakes a month ago. , the location marked on the treasure map is in the mountains in the west of Shanhai County, so many knight-errants come here to hunt for the treasure."

"There are not only Jianghu knights, but also sect disciples, Fairy Jingyue from Lingyue Sect, Swordsman Qingshui from Yishui Sect, Monk Tongming from Hanshan Temple, Scholar Jianyu from Huacheng Academy, etc."

"Now Shanhai County can be said to be a gathering of heroes, and it is extremely lively." Xiaoer looked excited.

Chapter 1 Idle Personnel

"What the hell are these!"

Zheng Ming couldn't laugh or cry.

What about the legendary treasure house, something that even your shop assistant knows, could it be true?

Even if it was estimated, it would have been poached away long ago, and it will be known to everyone.

There are also these Jianghu titles, such as fairy, swordsman, monk, and scholar, you can tell that they are not good people.

Good people who wander around come here to hunt for treasure.

"Okay, okay, go get busy." Zheng Ming waved his hand and said.
