423 Return 2
Xin Ping listened and recorded, and then said, "Don't worry, lord, I will arrange for personnel to handle these things immediately. This is the lord who is worried about our local economy and consider it, and it is also for the welfare of the people here."
Jiang Qin looked at Lu Ning and saw that Lu Ning looked at him. He immediately said, "Lord, our army lost only more than 300 soldiers on the conquest of Yi Island. Most of the ethnic minorities on the island surrendered to our army. They have basically been broken up and settled by us. Of course, we also gave them a lot of food and material relief. When we recovered Zhuya Island, I took the navy to train. After arriving there, I went there. There was no battle there. We only subdued the indigenous people on the island with money, food and materials. There were only more than 10,000 people in total."
After hearing this, Guo Jia said, "Dong Yi, you have done a good job. If you can use money and materials to solve problems, use them well, so that our army will also reduce losses. Of course, if there is someone who dares to resist stubbornly, then our army must show its military power. Our policy is to not fight, and if you want to fight, you must fight and win."
Jiang Qin continued: "Lord, Chief, now according to the lord's requirements, the 100,000 Marines and 30,000 Navy soldiers have been recruited on Yi Island, but their training has not yet met the requirements, especially the navy soldiers. Although we have adopted actual combat confrontation training during the training, none of them have met the training requirements; Marine soldiers should be able to form an army for another half a year, and the navy is still a little difficult."
After hearing this, Lu Ning said, "Dong Yi, you have done a very good job. I just don't know where the middle and lower-level officers under your command came from? They won't all be promoted during training."
After hearing this, Jiang Qin laughed and said, "Lord, most of the middle and lower-level officers are students from Bingzhou Military School. Not many people have really improved from training, only a few people, and they are basically lower-level officers."
Lu Ning then smiled and said, "Dong Yi, I have also sent you a master of training soldiers this time. You will give him the training of Marine soldiers in the future, but it must also be carried out under your supervision. You must not be a hand-off manager; by the second half of the year, you can lead a large army to fight, and your target of conquest is the big and small Luzon Island. As for the navy, let them fight and form an army while fighting. As long as the Marine soldiers meet the requirements, they can send troops immediately."
After hearing this, Jiang Qin almost jumped up with joy. It was any general's lifelong dream to lead troops independently. "My lord, that's great. I'm so depressed. Xingba is constantly making military achievements. He and I joined the lord together. I have not made any great achievements yet."
After hearing this, Guo Jia laughed and said, "Dong Yi, you have made a lot of contributions. You trained soldiers on Changdao and Xingba. Now you have independently trained more than 100,000 tiger and wolf troops, and have participated in the three Korean conquests. How could you say that you have not made any contributions?"
Jiang Qin suddenly thought, what talent did the lord send? He came back from overseas. The master who trained soldiers would not be fooling me. "Master, where is the master you sent?"
Lu Ning smiled and said to Dian Wei: "Ziman, go and call the Emperor Tuo."
After a while, Dian Wei brought Tuodi. Jiang Qin and Xin Ping were shocked. How could people look like this? Yellow hair and blue eyes. Isn’t this the legendary monster? The two looked at Lu Ning and the others, and shook their heads again, but they still couldn’t believe that the person in front of them was a man rather than a ghost.
Jiang Qin asked carefully: "Lord, is this a human or a ghost? Is it him the master of training soldiers? You can't make a mistake, lord."
Emperor Tuo knelt down to Lu Ning and said, "I have met the master."
Lu Ning said: "Dang Emperor, get up, don't kneel down in the future. I will introduce you to a few people. In the future, you will help him train soldiers under General Jiang. After the training is completed, you will be the deputy general of General Jiang and go overseas to conquer."
Seeing that Jiang Qin was still not convinced that Emperor Tuo was capable of training soldiers, Guo Jia said to him: "Dong Yi, don't underestimate Emperor Tuo. This kid has a good idea in training soldiers, especially the training of infantry and Roman phalanx training. That is his specialty. Our Marine soldiers rely on for strengthening."
After hearing Guo Jia's words, Jiang Qin said to Tuodi: "Duodi, why is your name weird? And you look so bad. If you go out alone, you will definitely scare a group of people. You look exactly like the legendary demons and ghosts."
After hearing Jiang Qin's words, Lu Ning and the others laughed loudly. Jiang Qin is rare and strange. Emperor Tuo is actually very handsome. If you want to be in the future, there will definitely be many beauties. Emperor Tuo said to Jiang Qin: "General, I am very handsome. Why do you say that I am not good-looking? How can you scare others?"
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Dong Yi, these Westerners all look like this. You won't find it strange if you see them too much in the future."
After everyone laughed, Lu Ning thought for a while and said, "Mr. Xin Ping, there is another thing to be wrong. You have to find a way to establish a good relationship with the Baiyue people in Jiaozhou. It is best to teach them to plant mulberry trees and then jointly build a silk factory with them, so that it will be easier to gain their trust. Of course, we will also make a lot of money when building a factory with them. This matter is very critical to our army's future conquests and will even play an important role."
After hearing this, Xin Ping looked depressed. What is the effect of establishing friendly relations with the Baiyue tribe? Is it necessary? Seeing that Xin Ping did not understand the meaning, Guo Jia immediately said to him: "The lord means that if our army goes to Jiaozhou in the future, we will receive support and help from the Baiyue tribe when fighting. This is very likely to invisibly add hundreds of thousands of Shanyue tribes to our army."
After hearing this, Lu Ning glanced at Guo Jia. This kid was too smart. If you nodded, you could understand everything you mean. After hearing the explanation, Xin Ping said, "Don't worry, lord, I will go and do this matter myself, and I will do it well."
Jiang Qinze said: "Lord, you have thought too long, when will this be realized?"
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Dong Yi, you will have a better chance of winning without preparation at any time. We don't make long-term plans. If we don't make plans and make far-sighted plans over the years, we will have been wiped out by others. In this chaotic world, we have to be careful, otherwise there will be endless troubles."
The next day, Lu Ning and everyone went to visit the soldiers and the people. Whenever they went there, when the people heard that Lu Ning came, they would consciously kneel down on the ground, shouting for many times, saying that he was good to the lord, long live the lord, we were all saved by the lord. The civil and military officials who accompanied him were also very excited when they saw it, and their loyalty to Lu Ning had been qualitatively improved. Lu Ning was also very excited, holding the people's hands and asking about their length, asking about their production and life, etc. During their close contact with the people, Lu Ning thought that he would do more such things in the future, so that he could improve his reputation and influence.
Under the infection of the common people, the soldiers trained on Yi Island heard that Lu Ning was coming and wanted to visit everyone. The entire barracks were in an uproar and they all wanted to see Lu Ning's respect. Of course, Lu Ning would not miss this opportunity to promote himself. Anyway, it was a hollow talk, which made the soldiers feel excited. Lu Ning's words made the soldiers give their lives to Lu Ning, so they could do anything for Lu Ning.
Three days later, Lu Ning and the others bid farewell to Jiang Qin, Xin Ping, and continued to set sail and headed towards the Ruxuwu Wharf in the Yangtze River. Lu Ning wanted to see the current Ruxuwu base was built astonishingly, and also wanted to understand the situation in Lujiang. After all, although Lujiang has a large army stationed by Zhang Liao, it is too far from Bingzhou and has no support from the support troops.
Half a month later, Lu Ning and his party successfully arrived at the Ruxuwu Wharf. The base had been completely built. After Zhang Liao, Ling Cao and Lu Kang heard that Lu Ning was coming, they had already run to the wharf to wait, but Lu Ning and his party arrived in the afternoon.
After everyone saw the ceremony, Zhang Liao shouted loudly: "Brother, you are too shy. Why has it been so long since you left? From the day you left, we have been worried about your safety every day, for fear of something unexpected happening to you, and the second and fourth brothers even wrote to inquire about the situation every day."
After hearing this, Lu Ning felt warm and stepped forward and patted Zhang Liao's arm gently and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm worried about you."
After hearing this, Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Brother, what are you saying? As long as you come back safely, it will be better than anything else."
After Lu Ning and the others entered Zhang Liao's official residence, Lu Ning said to Lu Liangkang: "Mr. Lu, why are you here too? You are so old, why don't you come? I will visit you."
Lu Kang was also very happy after hearing this. There is a reason why the boss sees his subordinates. Didn’t you make Lu Ning ugly? “Ziyi, I also heard that you ran to Daqin and went to Anxue. Now I heard that you are back, so how can you not come to greet him.”
Then Lu Ning turned around and said to Ling Cao, "General Ling, I see that your mental outlook is much better than before. Is your wife not around and you have any romantic encounters outside? Be careful that your wife and son will deal with you." After saying that, Lu Ning laughed loudly, and everyone next to him laughed, while Ling Cao blushed and looked shy.
Zhang Liao smiled and said, "Brother, aren't you talking nonsense? General Ling has such a thing. He will have an affair every time he goes to the place. I wonder what kind of sister-in-law we are like this."
Aren't you talking nonsense? Lu Ning shook his head and said, "Third brother, I can compare with you. There are so many wives and concubines in your family, and there are countless people outside. And the tigress in my family is too fierce. I dare to do anything, and this time I got nothing and had no sexual encounters."
After hearing this, Guo Jia smiled and said, "Lord, it seems wrong, you are gentle every day in Fars Province."
After hearing this, Lu Ning burst into laughter and looked at Guo Jia and the others and said, "Fengxiao, have you not enjoyed the blessing of a foreign country? I think you guys would have been having difficulty walking now if I hadn't stopped you a little." Lu Ning's words made everyone laugh again, and Guo Jia, Zhou Tai, Dian Wei and others also laughed foolishly.
Mr. Lu is a gentleman. After listening to the messy conversation between Lu Ning and others, his face turned red with shame and could not say a word. He did not expect that Lu Ning and his subordinates would be so close and dare to say anything. Lu Kang looked at Lu Ning and said carefully: "Ziyi, should we discuss work first?"
No, your old man really treats Lu Ning as the savior. You are the prefect of Lujiang. What does it have to do with Lu Ning? Lu Ning is just helping you. "Old man, what do you have to study? With my third brother here, can he not handle it regularly? No, if the third brother can't handle it, I may not be able to handle it."
After hearing this, Lu Kang shook his head and said, "Ziyi, what I want to discuss with you is a private matter. I want to hand over my family's shipyard to you for management?"
After hearing this, Lu Ning was even more puzzled. You have a good shipyard, why don’t you hand it over to Lu Ning? What does this old man mean? Lu Ning was stunned for a moment and said, “Mr., your family’s shipyard is also very profitable. Why do you want to hand it over to me to manage? Besides, the old man, no factory I can manage is not managed by others. My own factories don’t have much time to ask about, how do you ask me to manage it.”
After hearing this, Mr. Lu shook his head and said, "Ziyi, you must help me with this matter. I heard that you have a shipyard on Changdao, which specializes in the production of warships and various transport ships, and they all produce sailless ships. Although my family's shipyard is still profitable at present, if it cannot produce sailless ships, it will sooner or later go bankrupt one day. I heard General Wen Yuan say that the production of this sailless ship is the only one in the world, and the technology is very confidential."
After hearing this, Lu Ning thought, this old man really has a vision. Lu Ning glanced at him and said, "Old man, my shipyard is managed by the Zhenbian family, and I have not asked about it. If you really want to hand over your family's shipyard to me, then let my Changdao shipyard control the shares. Let's do this, we will pay 2 million silver coins, that is, 200 million copper coins to buy 80% of the shares of your family's shipyard. Your family enjoys 20% of the shares. Do you think this is OK?"
After hearing this, Mr. Lu said, "Ziyi, you can use so much money. The money you paid can build several shipyards."
Lu Ning smiled and said, "Young man, you're joking. There are many excellent workers in your shipyard, which cannot be calculated with money. The price I give you should be very reasonable. I think after Zhen takes over, the profits of the shipyard will definitely be good. Besides, I heard that your family's shipyard is also very large in scale and can build more than ten ships at the same time. Although there are no sailing ships, we will build large merchant ships, transport ships, supply ships, fishing ships, etc. with better performance should have a market."
Next, of course, I ate the sea and ate it. Everyone was drinking wildly, only Zhang Liao did not drink much. After all, he was the chief official here and had to keep his mind clear at all times. If even he was drunk, it would be a big trouble if something unexpected happened. Of course, this is also a very excellent thing about Zhang Liao, and he has the ability to control himself at all times.
