After transmigrating into cannon fodder, he had sex with the villain

Qiao Huan did not expect that Gu Zhao's letter was to invite him to join the Shipping Department, and he almost jumped up with excitement. His father, Qiao Xianqing, was not much better than him, and his hands trembled after reading the letter repeatedly. The government office does things differently. The last time it was just helping, this time it will have a formal official status, which means that the Qiao family can change the lintel.

Besides, it is also of great benefit to the Qiao family's business. With his son in the Shipping Department, the Qiao family can obtain first-hand information at any time. This makes them ahead of many businesses.

Qiao Xianqing hurriedly urged his son to write a letter, no, he packed his luggage and went directly to the capital immediately, there is no need to hesitate about this matter.

Yan Mu hurried back to the capital. When he left, there were still many people in the southwest garrison who were reluctant to let him go. The aristocratic family in the southwest sent him away like a plague god, but after Yan Mu and Mr. Liang jointly rectified, they His courage is not as great as before. Although Yan Mu left the southwest, it doesn't mean that he can't deal with any family he wants to deal with.

Gu Zhao has summoned seven officials for the independent yamen of the Shipping Department, including Tan Bo and Tang Zhou, and two other new scholars. My lord, he has done some research on shipbuilding. When this Lord Du heard that Gu Zhao invited him, he ran away with Gu Zhao without saying a word. Gu Zhao is now very popular in the Ministry of Industry, especially by those who love to study things. The officials who worked hard welcomed it, thinking that Gu Zhao and them are the same people, and Gu Zhao can also carry forward their so-called "small way".

In addition, Gu Zhao also recruited some masters to do things, for those candidates who failed the rankings and scholars who want to do things, there are indeed some people who want to give it a go, because if there is no background, in the capital city, if you want to use Juren to get a job It is very difficult for a small official to do.

Although the future of the Department of Shipping was uncertain, some people were willing to gamble because of Gu Zhao's fame and Yan Mu's status as Ping Nangong. In the end, Gu Zhao selected ten people out of them.

Gu Zhao also stuffed Master Fan into the shipping department, and Master Fan was naturally very grateful, and he wanted to do a good job for Gu Zhao with all his heart.

Everything is ready, and I owe Yan Mu the east wind to come back.

Today, Gu Zhao was discussing with the people in the yamen where the Shipping Department should choose as their foothold. The population and the prosperity of the place were not the first issues they needed to consider. In Hong Kong, there is a map of the imperial court and materials sent by Uncle Li. After looking around, Yao Cheng is the most suitable, and Gu Zhao is also most familiar with Yao Cheng.

Because the salt needs to be transported from the sea, there is already a simple version of the sea ship calling at the port in Yaocheng. If the Shipping Department takes over, it only needs to be modified on the original basis before it can be put into use.

Mr. Du also agrees with Gu Zhao’s choice. He has been to Yaocheng before. Although the coast is there, the terrain is a bit complicated. Even if there are sea pirates coming ashore to attack, it is also the most difficult place to penetrate. After the establishment of the army, you can calmly support it. other areas.

"Du very much agrees with the imperial court's decision to establish an army on the southeast coast. Now that Yaocheng has become a major salt-producing area, it has become the target of many pirates at sea. It is imperative to establish a navy to protect the safety of ships sailing at sea and the people along the coast. event."

Gu Zhao nodded. In the correspondence with the second uncle, the second uncle also mentioned the phenomenon of pirates at sea, which forced the second uncle to strengthen the fortifications of Yaocheng, and some of the salt was transported out by land and water. Compared with going by sea, it is more troublesome, and the cost is also increasing, but the local garrison is helpless against these elusive sea pirates and can only passively defend.

This is also an important reason why some officials of the imperial court insisted on the sea ban. They thought that as long as they guarded the door, those pirates would not be able to accomplish anything. Unfortunately, as long as they grow the arrogance of pirates and strengthen their power, they will eventually attack coastal cities from the sea and cause even greater damage. losses, because the southeast coastline is too long to guard against those pirates.

Gu Zhao did not agree with such a conservative idea, not to mention that he has the memory of later generations, and he knows how important the future sea power is. If they are one step behind, the future initiative may fall into the hands of outsiders.

"After Mr. Pingnan returns, we will go to Yaocheng to set up an office temporarily, and then we will investigate further in detail. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and everyone will have to work hard together with Mr. Gu."

"Your Majesty Gu, you are being polite. There is no fear of hard work." If they want to live a comfortable life, they will not go to Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao smiled: "Of course, before we go, we have to solve the funding problem first."

Everyone else was very curious about how Gu Zhao was going to raise a large sum of money, but Gu Zhao kept it a secret, which made everyone feel itchy, but they could only wait, and because Gu Zhao showed confidence, they were not too worried. In this world, Gu Zhao may be troubled by other things, but perhaps the only thing that won't trouble him is money.

"My lord, Mr. Pingnan is back! He went to the palace right after he came back!"

"Come back so soon?" Gu Zhao stood up in surprise, and was about to go out subconsciously, and then seeing so many eyes looking at him, Gu Zhao was also a little ashamed, and waved his hand and said, "Let's go, Let's all get ready, we'll be very busy."

"Yes, my lord."

They are also very happy that Mr. Pingnan is back. This means that the background of the Department of Shipping is stronger. When Mr. Pingnan establishes the navy, they will not believe in the protection of the navy, and the Department of Shipping will not be able to do anything.

Gu Zhao left, and the others began to gossip.

"The relationship between Mr. Gu and Mr. Nan is indeed very good. Mr. Gu was very happy just now."

Master Du coughed lightly. He thought he had some say in this aspect. After all, when Gu Zhao was in the Ministry of Industry, the officials of the Ministry of Industry could often see Yan Mu: "How many years of friendship between Lord Gu and Heping Nangong?" It is very comparable, Mr. Gu is naturally happy when Ping Nangong comes back from the southwest."

The newcomer approached Mr. Du and asked, "Master Du, I heard that Pingnan Gong built the road for the convenience of going to Yaochang Mansion to meet Mr. Gu. Is this true?"

The corners of Lord Du's mouth twitched, and then he quickly suppressed it: "You guys actually believe this kind of statement. You have all entered the court as officials, so you should set your sights higher. If Ping Nangong is such an unscrupulous person, you can still get His Majesty Do you believe it? After this road is built, it will undoubtedly be extremely beneficial to Yaochang Mansion and the Southwest, and the Ministry of Households has figures to prove it."

"It turned out not to be." Some people expressed disappointment. It was very obvious that the rumors that were circulated made the public even more eager to gossip.

Master Du's beard trembled, and he suppressed what he wanted to say. In fact, in his opinion, this was one of Yan Mu's goals, but he couldn't ruin his image, so Master Du reminded: "Ping Nangong is not as easy-talking as Master Gu, so you need to be more careful when you are in front of Pingnangong in the future."

"Thank you, Lord Du, for reminding me."

Even if Mr. Gu is easy to talk, they will not be too presumptuous in front of Gu Zhao. After all, from Gu Zhao's past actions, it can be seen that Gu Zhao is also a decisive and agile person, and he will never commit any crimes in his hands. Hands are soft, how many officials in Jiangnan and Yaochang Mansion fell into his hands.

Tan Bo and Tang Zhou like the current atmosphere in the Shipping Department, and feel that it is easy to work under Gu Zhao. As long as the tasks assigned by Gu Zhao are completed, Gu Zhao next to him will not take too much care. Nowadays, there are few people and there is no intrigue. , so I feel very good.

The emperor didn't expect to see Yan Mu so soon. Counting the time, he thought he was still on the way, which shows how much he has been on his way since receiving the imperial edict.

The emperor asked speechlessly: "Did you go back to see your mother? I don't need you to rush to see her here."

Yan Mu understood the emperor's temper very well, and knew when he was really annoyed and when he was helpless, and now he was in the latter situation, which was a kind of tolerance for the younger generation, so Yan Mu was quite a bit close He smiled and said: "I have plenty of time to see my mother, but I haven't seen Uncle Emperor for a long time, so I miss it."

The emperor twitched his lips, not believing a word.

But despite thinking this way in his heart, it cannot be denied that the emperor is in a good mood after hearing what this kid said. In fact, thinking about Yan Mu getting rid of his father's throne, and leaving him alone, he agreed with his mother and father to reconcile. Li, and being close to the emperor, the emperor also had a very strange sense of satisfaction in his heart, so he was very happy for Yan Mu to be close to him.

A smile appeared in the emperor's eyes, and he said, "Stop talking to me, I'll leave the navy affairs to you, you can't be as sloppy as the southwestern garrison, let your temper go, you know? Anyway, now you are also a member of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Duke of the State, you must look like a Duke of the State."

"Okay, go back and rest quickly. By the way, take this thing to your mother. I won't make a special announcement. Try to keep a low profile."

The emperor handed Yan Mu an imperial decree that he had prepared earlier. If Yan Mu was to devote himself to building a navy, he also had to have no worries about the future. Therefore, the emperor no longer dragged his mother to reconcile with Zhennan Gong.

The emperor also knew that if Yan Mu was asked to go back to rest at this time, most likely he would not be obedient. After leaving the palace, he probably had to rush to see Gu Zhao. Instead of looking for Gu Zhao, he came into the palace, otherwise he would have to give this kid a scolding, and the imperial decree would not be given out easily.

Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, agreeing to the imperial decree of Heli, it's really great, even though the situation between his mother and that man is no different from Heli, he is just happy.

"Thank you, Uncle Emperor, then I will go back."

"Go away now."

Yan Mu hurried out of the palace.

Yan Mu didn't look for Gu Zhao immediately after leaving the palace, because he didn't know where Gu Zhao's new yamen is now, so he went back to his Duke's mansion first, and then saw Gu Zhaozheng talking with his mother , Seeing Gu Zhao, Yan Mu was overjoyed.
