After the flood was settled, Wu Tian continued to ask Li Bing.

"Li Aiqing is proficient in water conservancy, but I don't know if he knows a general who is good at water warfare?"

Li Bing looked at Wu Tian in confusion.

Wu Tian looked at his expression and smiled slightly, saying, "I tell you the truth. The Liang army is invincible on land, but if it is fought at sea, it is indeed a serious shortage. Although Japan, located on the other side of the Goryeo region, is now driven back to our hometown by us, they will never give up and will make a comeback one day. If they want to attack our Liang Kingdom, they can only attack from the sea."

"I asked this question just in case. If my dear friends know, I can tell you as much as possible. If the person recommended is indeed a real talent and knowledge, I will definitely have a great reward. In addition, you can be promoted to a higher position."

Li Bing stood up when he heard Wu Tian’s words, bowed to him, and said, “Your Majesty is very impressed by the future. I know this general who is good at water war. His name is Li Shilang, a native of Jiangnan. He now lives in Fuzhou and is the Chief County of Fuzhou. If Your Majesty can attract the whole person and use it more, I can guarantee that our Liang State Navy will definitely become stronger.”

When Wu Tian heard Li Bing praise Li Shilang like this, he immediately became interested.

"Okay, since Li Aiqing recommends this Li Shilang so much, I will let him come to Youzhou City to take charge of the naval army and be responsible for training the Liang State Navy."

"In this way, Liang State will definitely be more prosperous."

On that day, Wu Tian issued an imperial edict, ordering Fuzhou County Magistrate Li Shilang to Youzhou.

Li Shilang passed the top scorer during the Song Dynasty. Because he was excluded by Cai Jing and Gao Qiu, he was demoted to Fuzhou County Magistrate.

In Fuzhou, he has been observing hydrology and reading military books.

When the Japanese attacked from the sea, he once led three thousand Fuzhou soldiers to fight the Japanese at the sea instead of General Zhenhai.

More than 5,000 Japanese were defeated and more than 100 warships were burned.

You should have rewarded this great contribution.

However, Emperor Song believed Cai Jing and Gao Qiu's words and said that Li Shilang, as a county magistrate, did not manage the affairs of the county government well, but intervened in the military affairs beyond his level. This was a big taboo in the Song Dynasty.

After hearing what Cai Jing and Gao Qiu said, Emperor Song not only did not reward Li Shilang, but also issued an order to punish Li Shilang.

If it weren't for the joint letter from the people of Fuzhou, Li Shilang would have been killed long ago.

After this incident, Li Shilang no longer cared about the affairs of the navy and was devoted to handling Fuzhou government affairs.

Until the Song Dynasty was replaced by Liang State, although Li Shilang felt that the time was coming, especially Wu Tian’s performance over the years made him feel like he was in a hurry.

Finally, the imperial edict was passed on to Fuzhou.

Wu Tian clearly summoned Li Shilang alone in the imperial edict.

The county magistrate frowned slightly, looked at the eunuch who was sent to the order and said with a smile: "Dude, don't you know what your Majesty has to ask Li Shilang for?"

The eunuch glanced at the county magistrate and shouted, "Your Majesty's affairs are what you, a small county magistrate, should you ask about?"

The county magistrate quickly shut up.

Li Shilang looked calm and bowed to the eunuch: "Duce, the county magistrate is just curious for a moment. Please don't blame him. Since Your Majesty wants me to follow you to the capital immediately, then we should not waste time. Let's set off now."

The eunuch nodded: "Okay, let's go now."

Li Shilang got up and followed the eunuch and left. The county magistrate stepped forward to stop Li Shilang and whispered: "Young Master Li, you can't go. Judging from the attitude of the father-in-law just passed, it is probably a great disaster for you to go there. It's better to listen to the words of the county magistrate and find an opportunity to sneak away."

Li Shilang glanced at the county magistrate, took his hand away, shook his head and said, "If Your Majesty wants to be unfavorable to me, why do I need to go to the capital and send someone to kill me here. If I am not wrong, Your Majesty summoned this time to ask about coastal defense. Although the Japanese were driven away by Your Majesty in the Goryeo area, they would not make a comeback. Therefore, to prevent the future, a strong naval army must be established. Only in this way can we have the ability to fight when the Japanese come again. And I am a familiar person who is familiar with water war. Your Majesty should know me from others, so he issued an order to invite me."

Listening to Li Shilang's analysis, the county magistrate fell into deep thought.

After a long time, he said, "Since Mr. Li is so determined, I have nothing to say. Well, Mr. Li is careful all the way. If you have any questions that require my help, you can write a letter to inform me."

Li Shilang nodded and bowed to the county magistrate: "Li Shilang is very grateful for the kindness of the county magistrate. If Li Shilang is really valued by His Majesty in the future, he will definitely not forget the great kindness of the county magistrate."

After saying that, Li Shilang got on the carriage and followed the eunuch straight to Liangcheng.

Soon, Li Shilang arrived in Liangcheng.

The moment he walked into Liangcheng, Li Shilang was full of energy. He originally thought that he would be just a small official in his life, but he could not have entered the capital now. And depending on the situation, it seemed that what he had learned could be used.

Just as he was thinking, a general in armor came to him and bowed and said, "Is the person who came here Li Shilang?"

Li Shilang glanced at the general, was extremely powerful, and bowed and said, "I'm Li Shilang below. I wonder who the general is?"

The general touched his beard, smiled slightly, and said, "I am Guan Sheng, and it is your Majesty who ordered me to pick you up. Mr. Li, please follow me."

As he said that, Guan Sheng waved and a carriage came from a distance.

Li Shilang was not polite either. He bowed to Guan Sheng and thanked him, and boarded the carriage.

The carriage drove southward, crossed the bustling street, and finally stopped in a tall mansion.

"Young Master Li, you can come down."

Guan Sheng, who was escorting the carriage outside, bowed to the carriage and said.

Li Shilang got off the carriage and looked at the big mansion in front of him, and was slightly surprised.

"General Guan, what are you doing to bring Li here?"

Guan Sheng smiled and said, "Young Master Li, don't get me wrong. Your Majesty asked Guan to invite you here. Your Majesty is in the back garden of this house. Please follow me in to meet Your Majesty."

When Li Shilang heard that it was Wu Tian’s arrangement, he smiled slightly: “It seems that His Majesty has something very important to talk about by Li.”

Guan Sheng smiled without saying a word, leading the way ahead.

Li Shilang followed Guan Sheng into the mansion.

The construction of this large mansion is very grand, with pavilions and towers, and many precious flowers and plants are planted around it.

Li Shilang followed Guan Sheng through the long corridor, crossed the threshold, passed a small path, and entered the back garden.

There are also all kinds of rockery and flowing water in the back garden, and the air is filled with various fragrances of flowers.

There are five steps in the distance.
