Chapter 742: The Sound of Drums and Horns Shows Its Sharp Edge (14)

"Why!" Kou Shuguang jumped up suddenly, but he forgot that he was sitting in the cabin now. With a bang, his head hit the cabin roof hard, and he fell to the ground. He grinned in pain and raised his hand. He touched his head and knocked on the table in front of him with one hand, causing the cups and plates to rattle, "He still wants our governor's son to be his grandson-in-law? Do you want to flatter him?"

Kou Shuguang was also an old man from the Eastern Army. He was very clear about the grudges between Gao Yuan and Zhou Yuan. Looking at the calm Cao Tianci, he said angrily: "You should give him a slap in the face." , let him have his wishful thinking, hum, the governor is magnanimous and does not care about past grudges, but my mind is not so broad, how come one of my legs is missing in Jicheng? "

"Okay, don't be so angry. It's been almost two years since you came to Fenzhou to preside over the affairs here. If you have this mentality [Pig][Pig][Island] novel ww.zuhm, I will transfer you back. Yes, Fenzhou must be the territory of the Zhou family." Cao Tianci looked at him and said, "I really can't imagine how you have been here with the Zhou family in the past few years."

Kou Shuguang sneered, "Zhou Yuan is just a drowned dog. In line with the principle of using a useless dog to benefit others, it is not right for him to do something for our Zhengdong Mansion during the few years he has been dying. I Well, I don’t see him all the time, so I just talk to his son, so I can get by without seeing him, but now he’s making trouble for me, so watch out for me one day to deal with him!”

"Shut up!" Cao Tianci raised his face, "These things are not something we can get involved in. Zhou Yuan is of great use. If you dare to do anything wrong, I will deal with you first. If you really fall out with the Zhou family , what about our boat master? Where can we find skilled boatmen to build our boats? How many of our own boatmen have you trained in the past few years?

Kou Shuguang said with a bitter look on his face: "The boatmen here are all crazy, and they all look careless, but they get our high salary. But the key skills are not passed on to others at all, Dean, anyway Our docks and shipyards in western Liaoning are almost completed. How about we tie these ignorant guys to western Liaoning with a rope? Are we afraid that they will not be honest? "

"It's easy for you to think!" Cao Tianci rolled his eyes, "Those shipwrights have so many thoughts. Needless to say, it's all the Zhou family who is causing trouble here. Can we get out of Fenzhou with ropes to tie people up? ? Do you think the Zhou family is unprepared? Don't forget, this is Fenzhou, the heart of Yan State. Not to mention the people of the Zhou family, we cannot afford to offend the people here. Cooperating honestly with the Zhou family is the only way out, unless you can learn the full set of shipbuilding techniques."

"Small boats are okay, but there is still no way to build large sea ships. It took more than two years to build two large sea ships, and my hair is almost turning gray."

"So we must strengthen cooperation with the Zhou family in western Liaoning. Our first batch of sailors have been trained, and these two ships will be put to use soon. Now we need more ships." Cao Tianci said, "About Zhou Yuan's suggestion. I will send it back to Jishi City. As for how to do it,

Let’s look at the Governor’s. If the governor himself doesn't care, why are we in a hurry? "

"But thinking about it, I feel uncomfortable after all!" Kou Shuguang said bitterly.

In the Zhou family, Zhou Yuan stared at his two sons, Zhou Ting and Zhou Jin, but sighed silently in his heart. The two sons were already thirty and almost forty, but they could not become famous after all. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to devote all my time to cultivating Zhou Yu, a side disciple. Unexpectedly, after half a lifetime of hard work, I finally cultivated a white-eyed wolf.

Cao Tianci was right. Although he had just passed sixty, he was already exhausted mentally and physically. He was almost in his twilight years and had only a few more years to live. It was time to think about his descendants. His sons were useless, but next time Of the grandchildren of this generation, it seems that one or two are outstanding, but the most important thing is to survive these decades.

The Yan State has no hope. As long as Zhou Yu is in power for one day, he will not be able to let his own people stand out. If there is someone who cannot even be suppressed, I am afraid that his life will be in danger by then, or maybe his life will be in danger. , the only choice is to start over, then Gao Yuan may be able to take a gamble. If he wins the bet, he will win a chance for his own people. Even if he loses, there will be nothing left and nothing to lose.

"Father!" Zhou Ting and Zhou Jin stood in front of their father with their hands down. Because they were not very talented, they had been severely scolded by their father since childhood. Over the years, that kind of fear has penetrated deep into their bones. Zhou Yuan didn't speak, and the two of them didn't even dare to take a breath.

Looking at the appearance of the two of them, Zhou Yuan would have shouted harshly before, but now, he no longer does this.

"You two have been cooperating with the people from the Eastern Expedition Army for quite some time. How do you feel about it?" He looked at Zhou Ting and asked.

"It's okay!" Zhou Ting whispered.

"What do you mean it's okay?" Zhou Yuan suddenly felt angry again. He raised his arm and waited for a slap in the face. As soon as he raised his hand, he saw his son's fearful face and put it down again, "You two As long as there is one successful person, why should my Zhou family be reduced to this situation? "

"My son is incompetent, which makes my father worried!" Zhou Ting said with shame. In the past, when his father was in power, he was a high-ranking prince. No matter what he did, it would naturally go smoothly, with countless people supporting and flattering him. But when his father fell from a high place, he finally realized what it means to be in the cold world. Only then did he realize the importance of his father to this family.

"Second brother, I'm going to tell you something for your little daughter." Zhou Yuan turned to look at the second child Zhou Jin. Compared to the eldest brother Zhou Ting, the second child was more unbearable. The eldest brother was just a little cowardly, but the second child was incompetent. Even though he is not good at martial arts, he is still a typical playboy.

"Father, your granddaughter is only half a year old. Isn't it too early now?" Zhou Jin whispered.

"Who are you telling her about?" Zhou Yuan looked at him coldly.

Zhou Jin shook his head and said, "What my father is interested in is naturally the Hǎode." But he was a little dissatisfied in his heart. Considering the current situation of the Zhou family, if someone from a well-matched family is willing to marry his family, he would avoid it.

"He is the son of Gao Yuan of Zhengdong Mansion." Zhou Yuan said.

"What?" Zhou Ting and Zhou Jin both almost thought they heard wrongly and asked in unison. "Father, who do you think you are?"

"Gao Yuan, the general of the Eastern Army, his son is just over half a year old, and I just proposed to their envoy." Zhou Yuan said slowly: "We have no way out in Dayan. Now I You are still alive, but if I am gone one day, your hard life will be over. Maybe you won’t even be able to save your life.”

Seeing the somewhat panicked look on his two sons, Zhou Yuan felt extremely disappointed, "So, I have to find a way for you and my grandchildren. This is why we have quietly cooperated with Zhengdong Mansion in the past two years. Take advantage of this opportunity. I'm still alive and useful to them."

After a pause, he continued: "Actually, I did this just to resolve the grudges I had with Gao Yuan back then. I didn't think much about anything else. But now, I have an opportunity that allows me to infinitely get closer to Gao Yuan. If you have connections with the Zhengdong Army, you will have a solid backer after my death."

"Father, will Gao Yuan agree to this?" Zhou Jin had already come over at this time, and he couldn't help being surprised and happy, if he and Gao Yuan really became in-laws. Then the rest of my life can be considered settled.

"Whether we succeed or not depends on the price we pay." Zhou Yuan said coldly: "Boss, after you go down, tell the shipwrights under our control that the core technology of building sea-going ships no longer needs to be hidden, and all the professors will teach it. Those people. Second, the shipyard is at full capacity. This year, I want to see two more sea-going ships.”

"Yes, Father. Is that all?"

"Of course it's not just these. After you go down, tell Kou Shuguang, who has been in contact with you, that our craftsmen can actually move to other places, but they must be done properly and slowly, and absolutely not If the news leaked out, he would naturally understand it as soon as he heard it."

"My son understands."

"This is the first hand I extend to Gao Yuan. If he agrees to this marriage, I will extend the second hand to him." Zhou Yuan said: "When the time comes, maybe our whole family will go to a new place." You can live and work in peace and contentment in your new place, and I will do one last thing for you before I die, so that you can be qualified to establish a foothold in your new place. This is the best I can do."

"Father……"

"Don't ask anymore, just follow my instructions and do these things first!" Zhou Yuan waved his hand, "Remember it for me, these things must not be leaked to the slightest. Otherwise, our whole family, They will all die without a burial place."

Watching his two sons walk out, Zhou Yuan turned around and looked at the huge map of Yan that had been hanging behind him. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly laughed, walked to the wall, and stretched out , grabbed the map, crumpled it into a ball in his hand, and threw it to the ground.

Dayan, I have finally completely betrayed you. He thought with sadness in his heart that he had abandoned the motherland that he had fought for all his life, and all he got in exchange was an opportunity that he might not be able to win.

The chance of victory may not be an opportunity, otherwise, the Zhou family will only be able to decay and perish step by step in this place. Gao Yuan, this young man who has surprised himself countless times, will not let himself down this time. He can Finally won out of this bet.

I hope Gao Yuan will win in the end. At this time, Zhou Yuan really feels that the world is full of vicissitudes and unpredictable events.

(Yesterday I happened to see a book friend talking about Lu Chao's Wèntí, I think I need to explain it here. Wèntí, is Lu Chao a capable person? This has actually been said a long time ago. Lu Chao has proved himself in the 1980s. At that time, the chief general of Shannan County was actually only in charge of military affairs, and the rest was handed over to Lu Chao. He was not a rookie, but had been in charge of a region for a long time. The second Wèntí, why Lu Chao was able to train 60,000 Han troops in just a few years. This Wèntí is a little more complicated. First of all, no matter how small Han is, it is still a country. Whether it is population or national strength, it is far from what Ye Zhen and Ye Chong can compare, so he can recruit, but Ye Zhen and Ye Chong cannot. Secondly, the recruitment system of the Eastern Expedition Army is different from that of the Qin Army. The Eastern Expedition Army is a recruitment system, while Lu Chao, in fact, can adopt the method of conscription. Third, financial resources, Han was once a country. Fourth, why did the Han people work hard for Lu Chao? The article mentioned that Lu Chao got married. His wife was Gongsun, the first noble family in Han except the royal family. Lu Chao adopted the method of beating some and recruiting some in Han. In addition, the Qin people's military merit system also gave ordinary Han people a way out, which is why they were willing to work for them. Well, now I think this book friend should understand me, right? This is what I think and design. In fact, many reasons have inadvertently revealed the inner information. If you really want to explain them one by one, it will inevitably seem too tedious. ）(To be continued...)
