Chapter 501 Heresy(1/2)
Hai'an.
It was not yet bright, and in the dark, several giants were slowly sailing from the water towards the ferry.
At the highest point, several soldiers were holding torches, shaking back and forth.
As these giants kept approaching the ferry, countless torches lit up at the ferry, and the entire ferry became particularly bright.
Ouyang was standing among the crowd wearing a thick coat, calmly directing the soldiers on both sides.
The big ships finally docked on the shore and the two sides began handover.
A moment later, a young man in simple clothes led many followers and quickly walked to Ouyang.
The young man's face was filled with a sunny smile. Even in the darkness, Ouyang could see the enthusiasm in him clearly.
"Meet General Ouyang!"
This man smiled and bowed his head and bowed, "I heard the name of the general for a long time, but I never thought that I could see it with my own eyes. Fortunately..."
Ouyang looked at him for a moment, but did not make any mistakes, but looked at the big ships behind him.
"Three warships?"
"But you agree to have seven ships?"
"General Ouyang, don't be angry. The martial law on the river is now on the river. The seven warships are too conspicuous and it is really hard to carry. Only these,
We also took a lot of effort and a lot of effort to bring it here."
"We will hand over these three ships first, the other four warships, and then we will arrive."
The young man explained with a smile, but Ouyang's eyes were full of displeasure, "Who do you think of me as? Do you think I will steal your warship and not fulfill your promise?"
"I dare not! I dare not! General, what I said just now is true!"
The young man pointed at the three ships behind him, "I didn't expect that the general would misunderstand our sincerity so much. Let's do this. I don't want the money for these three warships. After the four warships are delivered, we will settle them together to show our sincerity!"
Ouyang's face finally calmed down a little. He stared at the boy in front of him, "I have never seen you in the past. Whose boy are you?"
The young man hurriedly replied, "I am not a child of a large clan, but a humble person."
"Oh? A humble person who can do such a big thing?"
"Da Chen once imitated your country and promoted officials. Therefore, I was valued by noble people and entrusted with important tasks."
Ouyang wanted to laugh a little, "The State of Chen promoted the capable official to do... :.\n. Oh, forget it, take me to see the boat."
Shi Wenqing took Ouyang toward the three warships.
These three warships are not ordinary warships, but golden-winged ships that Ouyang is quite familiar with.
Ouyang carefully observed for a long time, and then boarded the warship and checked the situation inside in detail. These three warships were completely brand new and there was no trace of being on the battlefield.
Shi Wenqing has been with him and has been introducing Ouyang continuously. He doesn't have to tell Ouyang whether the warship is good or not, nor is he his turn to introduce it. He mainly introduces the origin of the warship and talks about their hard work.
After the two got off the warship, Ouyang was quite satisfied.
He waved to the distance, and immediately someone drove a large number of war horses toward this place.
Shi Wenqing's eyes lit up and he paid homage to Ouyang again.
"Thank you, General! Thank you, General! In a few days, I will send the rest of the ships here... It will definitely be very soon."
Just as the soldiers handed over the horses, Ouyang looked at Shi Wenqing in front of him and pointed not far away, "It will take some time for the handover to go and have a pavilion over there, so I'll go chat with me."
"only!"
The two of them strode over and soon sat in the pavilion. Someone brought wine and some meat.
Shi Wenqing was a little surprised and looked at the wine.
Ouyang laughed, "This fruit wine is also."
"The ban on alcohol has changed, and fruit wine can be drunk."
Shi Wenqing suddenly realized, "So that's it."
The Han Dynasty still prohibits the making of grain wine, but the making of fruits is ignored. For example, wine and other things are allowed to drink.
Shi Wenqing also took a few bites and praised him repeatedly.
Ouyang then asked slowly, "You know there are many southerners who trade with us, right?"
Shi Wenqing was stunned, and then smiled and said, "Your country is vast and wealthy. Of course, there will be no shortage of Chen people who are willing to communicate with your country. I know."
"Well, I won't ask about the situation on your home."
"I just want to ask you something."
"Do you want a chance to make a contribution?"
Shi Wenqing didn't understand Ouyang's words and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Ouyang smiled and didn't care, "Then let's not talk about it, just eat wine."
Shi Wenqing hurriedly said, "General, I am from a humble background. If I have the opportunity to make achievements, I dare not refuse.
But my family is in the south...
"
"Do you think I want to persuade you to surrender?"
Ouyang shook his head, "I don't have this intention yet. I came to you for some other things."
"General, just give orders!"
"Look, there are so many businesses doing business with the big man now, but everyone only dares to do some small businesses, only a few warships and more than a hundred horses, making small fuss. If you want me to tell me, it's really not a big deal."
"You can cross the river with three warships, then you can also cross with thirty warships."
"It's just a matter of how much it costs."
"So small-scale fights, even dozens of times, there is no effect, but it increases the risk. Since that's the case, why not just make a big deal at once?"
"I have countless horses and iron tools here, so I'm waiting for you to get them!"
"There are many southerners who come to trade. Some of them can trust them, and some of them cannot trust them. I really don't want to interact with so many people. I also have to check whether they are sincere. If you can exchange me for things, from now on, I will only interact with you..."
"If you can do this, it's certain that you will be promoted."
Ouyang paused and looked at Shi Wenqing.
Shi Wenqing's eyes were indeed a little hot.
Like Ren Zhong, he was from the bottom of the class and did have some skills and longed to climb up, but the two were somewhat different. Shi Wenqing could contribute more to development and become more greedy.
"General, I will do my best...
"I will definitely not let the general run back and forth for these small-scale quarrels...:."
"Okay, okay, come and have another cup!"
The two of them ate like this for a long time, and Shi Wenqing got on the boat, leaving the three warships, but left here on a merchant ship.
After seeing off these people, Ouyang just asked the warship to take away Hai'an.
After Huang Fa was stabbed to death, trade between the north and the south was started again.
It even had a sharp rebound. The trade volume in these days was extremely large, exceeding the time when it was banned. In less than ten days alone, Ouyang had already met three groups of people and bought a total of eight warships.
Each of them is a medium-sized warship, each of which is expensive, and the Han Dynasty also consumes a lot of things, such as a horse.
Iron tools, etc.
But for the Han Dynasty, these two things are the least lacking, and it is definitely worth it to exchange these for warships.
Before Chen State could not realize it, the Han State had already begun its strategy for Chen State.
A large number of generals were deployed on the borders around Chen State to train troops and stockpile food.
When they were in office, Chen was very panicked and gathered a large number of naval troops to prepare for battle. However, after a long time, he found that they had not launched an offensive, so the Chen people's reaction was not so strong.
As for Wang Lin and others, they are also making every effort to expand the navy and prepare for combat.
The reason why Ouyang promised a larger trade with these southern people was to prepare for war, and they needed to get a large number of warships within the fastest time.
Chen State still did not respond to the actions of Han State, and they were still very busy.
Recently, they are arguing over another big event.
To be clear, this is still a matter of old things.
Buddhism also developed different things in the Central Plains, with contents beginning to vary from place to place in the east, west, south, and north.
Chen Xiang packed the monks of Zhou State and took them home at one time.
At first, everyone had no problems, so they scolded Yuwen Yong and Liu Taozi together, and their lives were still the same.
But after these people from the north were firmly in charge, people from the three sides suddenly realized that something was wrong! There was a heresy!!
The monks of the Three Kingdoms have already had controversy in all aspects. Now that they are forcibly gathered together, they become exciting immediately.
They started various debates.
To be continued...
