14. Ship into Panyu City

At this time, Lu Zhi thought about it and said that this would be fine, at least it could stop the vicious expansion of the inner warehouse. "Then I will write a letter of negotiation to the Holy Lord."

Gao Yue raised his hand and said, "Lu Jiu, don't worry, I will tell the emperor myself."

Several prime ministers were surprised and said that for the emperor, the waste of internal inventory is an extremely sensitive topic. In addition, the scope of the prime minister's management is the subordinates of the Central Secretariat and the Southern Ya. Generally speaking, the scope of the emperor's activities is in the North Secretariat of the Forbidden Garden. The two rarely have intersections. Our relationship with the emperor is far less than that of the Hanlin scholars and the Central Officials. So if the emperor does not mention this matter on his own initiative, where can we get the opportunity to say it? Judging from the current situation, the emperor is always secretive about the internal treasury issues!

Gao Yue picked up the chopsticks again, but said in a very plain manner that he was not in a hurry, and he should have looked for a suitable opportunity to discuss this matter with His Majesty.

"Then let's talk about Hou Yisong." Lu Zhi was very moved and bowed his hand.

But Gao Yue knew very well. He knew that the emperor would come to him sooner or later.

Sure enough, within these few days, the emperor always looked anxious and restless in the Zichen Hall, the Golden Palace or the Bathroom Hall.

During this period, the emperor was angry at first and thought to himself that Gao Yue, you don’t have a detailed discussion with me. I told the Hanlin scholar, so I asked Wei Zhiyi, Li Jifu, and Wei Duke to take turns to talk to him about Lingnan and how to fight Zelu’s war. But even Li Jifu could only say that we are just scholars, and drafting an edict is the duty. If we make trouble for military and political affairs and spread it, the public opinion of the government and the public will be in an uproar.

The shrewd Li Jifu knew that he could say it before, but now Wei Zhiyi and Wei Duke in the courtyard are both Gao Yue's proprietors. He would foolishly say something he shouldn't say. If Gao Yue took the handle, it would be very uncomfortable to offend the Secretariat.

There was no way, so the emperor wanted to talk to the Chinese officials again, but it was okay for most Chinese officials to let them do specific affairs. If it really involves strategic planning, there were only a few people.

In the end, the emperor had to give Lingnan a first article. According to what the prime ministers said, Du You held his original position and no longer had to serve within two years. He also led the governors, Qinghai and Pingbo armies, and focused on suppressing the rebellion.

A month later, Du You, who was sitting in Qinghai Tower, Panyu, Guangzhou, wore a tube hat and a white shirt and casual clothes. He sat upright in front of the desk, and his wife and concubine burned incense and served on all sides, making annotations to "Guanzi". As for the bookshelf behind him, there were mountainous manuscripts, which were written by Du You at the same time.

One of the concubines named Qiongzhi joked and asked Du You: "My husband, is this book Guan Zi written by Guan Zhong?"

Du You also smiled and replied, "It's not, it's just a Han Dynasty man who entrusted Yiwu's name."

“How to know?”

"Haha, this book is called Duke Huan everywhere, but Guan Yiwu died before Duke Huan. How to name Duke Huan is a fake."

"Since it's a fake, why should my husband make a note?"

"I am a Tang Dynasty and a Han Han, so the mental skills, dominance, governing the country, monarch and ministers, and military strategies in Guanzi's books are all needed by the world, so I'm noted."

"But I heard from Confucian scholars that the classics are to use retro knowledge to save the world's affairs."

"Confucianism favors the past and is biased against the present. I am different. I like the present and not the present." Du You answered indifferently.

At this moment, the military mansion received a document from the court, and it was very clear that all the income of the five Lingnan prefectures was used as "subsidy" for Du You, but there were also clear tasks, and it took two years to quell the barbarian chaos.

Hearing this, Du You smiled with satisfaction and said, "I owe Gao Yisong a favor this time. I'm going to come from the sea to Panyu City." After that, Du You got up in his clothes and continued to say to his wives and concubines, "Look, Gao Yue and Wei Gao have used a large number of new cannon guns in the war against Xifan, and are invincible. Which scripture has mentioned cannon guns? It's not created by the wisdom of modern people, so it's not unreasonable to say that the original "is the present, not the past" is not unreasonable.

Soon, after the imperial court document, the firearms that had been forged before from several cannon and gun bureaus (originally intended for the army to the west) were constipated and unrecognized. They were loaded by the imperial court's exclusive ships, and first followed the Bian River, and then arrived at Yangzhou City to go out to sea. After arriving at Mingzhou Port, they had a short stay. After the supply was completed, they saw the peaceful wind on the sea, so they sailed with rice, grain, cloth and silk to the inner port of Panyu City. The sailors on the deck saw large areas of rice fields floating on the coastal waters of Panyu City, and they couldn't help but be amazed.

This rice field is actually called "王米". Guangzhou residents made up wooden frames, then filled them with mud, planted rice in it, like a boat floating.

This is the novel Panyu City.

Panyu City, the city is sandwiched between the two mountains of Panyu. Originally, residents used bamboo and wood to build houses. Later, after Du You's innovation, they used pottery tiles to build houses. Since then, the fires have been greatly reduced. Later, Du You dug the Fanshan Mountain to the south of Qinghai Tower and built a larger Luocheng here, called "Xinnan City", which included the sea entrance where the three rivers meet with city walls. Such countless foreign ships can be directly unloaded from the sea to the dock of Sima Chong in Lanhu, or from Sima Chong, then into the Xijiang and Beijiang, and go deep into the land for trade. The Ximo of Xinnan City has added a large pavilion street museum, which is "Fankefang". Dashi Persian or other countries from the sea have gathered here. Du You asked the government office to charge various fees to enrich the military palace.

When all the cannons and guns supported by the court arrived, Du You stood on it in the towering tower in Xinnan City (for ships to hide from the wind and rain).

Thousands of selected infantrymen of the Qing Navy and Strategic Army, as well as the Qiang Nuyi congors of the Pingbo Army, were wearing cotton clothes, leggings, and bronze seals marking the stairs on their arms, arranged according to each team, and accepted Du You's reading.

"Test the cannon gun!" Du You waved his hand and ordered.

The craftsmen and military academy who followed the Shenlei gun and cannon began to test the shooting. Soon the smoke of gunfire was bursting with roaring sounds.

On the deck of ships moored on Lanhu Lake, merchants, sailors and travelers from all over the world were shocked. One of the merchants of the Great Food wrote in his notes: "In this prosperous port city, the Duke of the Empire, Barrick Du, is the only dictator. The emperor gave him the power of life and death. Du was a noble and a scholar, but he was also a commander of the army. Under his savvy skills, in just two or three years, Not only was the city majestic and abundant, but the military also became extremely powerful. The infantry had new firearms and the navy had more than ten large tower ships. When Du knew that there was a rebellion by the indigenous barbarians in the prefecture west of Lingnan, he could not wait to test the power of the new army and seize countless gold and silver mines in the barbarian settlements. To be honest, I sympathize with those ignorant and ignorant barbarians and would like to pray for them before Allah."

However, this merchant failed to describe another attribute of Du You, which was the skillful use of barbarians to control barbarians.
