Chapter 679: New City

Dozens of naval commanders showed great respect at this time, and sat down with one by one. Yang Guo practiced naval commanders, and even these generals practiced them together. They also understood the rules and etiquette of the martial arts school.

Chen Ao didn't have any twists and turns to these rough men. He had thought about the way Tong Lao Fox was doing things, and he also figured out a little reason. He said straight to the point: "The most urgent task at the moment is to think about the gunboat and give it to the extreme. Yang Guo, tell me what you think."

Yang Guozao had a curse and bowed to him, "I have discussed it with you for a while, and I am determined to give the first gunboat to Quanzhou Shipbuilding School for practice."

Chen Ao suddenly remembered that Quanzhou had indeed established a Quanzhou Naval School because of the trend caused by the Martial Arts School. It mainly practiced the naval course, and it was said that it was the naval department of the Martial Arts School. The person who presided over this school was said to be a former naval army commander. He thought he had also retired and returned home. He was so idle that he saw the model of the Martial Arts School. On a whim, he was encouraged by some gentry and former colleagues before he stood up to preside over it.

Quanzhou has always been the only one who follows the leader of the King of Pingxi. Pingxi held a martial arts school, and an old guy came out to talk about the project. The officials from all over Quanzhou supported him a little, and with the fundraising of some merchants, it was actually done.

Although the name of this school was loud and the word "Ship Management" sounded horrible, everyone's mind was just a small matter, and they trained some people to provide escorts for merchant ships in the future, which was similar to training escorts and guards. But who knew that the court issued an order to create the Nanyang Navy. The entire Fujian Road was recruiting sailors everywhere. It was okay for sailors, but those grassroots backbone officers were not easy to find. The emperor's disciples trained by the Martial Arts School were still being tempered, and even if they were released, it was far from enough. Therefore, with the east wind, the Ship Management School actually rose. The students in the first phase only studied for a year and became military officers directly.

With a good future, more people will sign up. The second phase of the students will naturally choose the best. The level is not worse than that of the martial arts school. In addition, the expansion of enrollment is also a big profit. Quanzhou Prefectural Office and the Navy Office also support it more or less, and even merchants support it. This Shipbuilding School is a success, and it can no longer stop the market. So, from the past, the doorsteps were repaired and the school was expanded. In the past, it took several ragged ships. After training, I went directly to the navy to pull a few big blessed ships and ships. The naval school actually made a name for itself and could recruit a few famous scholars to teach doctoral classes. It is also based on the sea, and it is easy to recruit instructors and instructors. In addition, the old army who retired knew some old lovers in the navy, and his eyes were very poisonous, and even the navy dared to poach people. After a while, they became famous and became quite popular as the second martial arts school in the world.

Now the Naval Academy and the Nanyang Navy are full of emotions, one is sending talents and the other is strongly supported. Yang Guo's mind is simple. He first gives the gunboats to the Naval Academy to practice, so that they can figure out the tactics and formations of the gunboats themselves. Anyway, these trainees in the future will also come to the Navy, and then these backbones will teach the operation and combat methods of the gunboats.

In this way, the Nanyang Navy has been relieved, and the Naval Academy has this gunboat, which has greatly improved the level of the students. At least in operation, it can surpass the naval lieutenant of the Martial Arts Academy, and everyone can get what they need.

Chen Ao heard this and smiled and said, "This is also a solution, just do it."

Chen Ao made the final decision and laughed: "I heard that the Shipbuilding School priest was an old army. When did I want to see him?"

Yang Guo smiled and said, "Wu Jijiu long ago, I'll ask someone to tell him something later. It's better to do this. At noon tomorrow, if the prince has time, what if he has time to go to the Naval Academy?"

Chen Ao responded enthusiastically, and he was really interested in Quanzhou Naval Academy and said, "I just think this is my business in my brothers' school to visit."

The people present burst into laughter.

Chen Ao stood up and said, "Today I will talk about what the navy lacks. I will hand me the *** to me directly. I will definitely solve it for you." After saying that, he said with a deep meaning: "The navy was proposed by me, and this Nanyang navy was also pulled by me. Don't let my expectations down."

The assistants were solemn and said in awe: "Don't worry, I am willing to work hard for everyone."

Yang Guo kept sending Chen Ao out and suddenly said, "The prince finally came to Quanzhou, why not go to Xincheng for a walk?"

"New City?" Chen Ao said: "What new city?"

Yang Guo smiled dryly and said, "Actually, it's not a new city. It's just that the port and horse head are tight. Quanzhou plans to build several ports in a bay fifty miles away. Construction is ready to start. Unexpectedly, after hearing the news, the merchants purchased land near the port on the bay and built cargo warehouses and shops. Some things sound incredible. The new city was a barren land a few months ago, but it was just three months old. Now it's not. Well, the land within a radius of dozens of miles was sold out, with shops and houses everywhere. Later, the prefect came out to take charge of the overall situation and said that it would vacant some land to build roads, yamen and landscapes. This was why there were some planning. Now there are tens of thousands of craftsmen who have been working day and night. If it weren't for the shortage of craftsmen, they would have been delayed by the end of the year, but now it will be moved for half a year."

Quanzhou's expansion is imperative, and it is reasonable to build a new city. Chen Ao didn't find it strange. He smiled and said, "This is interesting, but since it is a big construction site, I still won't go there. I want to build a new city. I can have a plan first to save time and cause trouble." He turned over and said, "I'll go to the prefect's office to see how they plan."

Quanzhou's surprises for Chen Ao seemed to come one after another, from the workshop area to the dock area, and gunboats, every new thing made Chen Ao grow into a new interest. He took the lieutenant directly to the prefect's yamen. Ma Yinglong had just returned and had just sent the servants to inform the merchants. Seeing that Chen Ao was coming, he immediately brought his subordinates to greet him. Chen Ao talked about the new city, and Ma Yinglong laughed and said, "This new city is full of dust and very noisy. It is not that the following officials dare not take the prince over to see it, but the planning is also easy. He has ordered the servants to draw lines and reserve roads, yamen and wells."

Chen Ao said in surprise: "Why, don't you need to draw a picture?"

"Draw a picture?" Ma Yinglong was stunned for a moment, confused.

Chen Ao knew that there was no need to draw pictures at this time of planning, so he recruited several lieutenants and asked: "Who among you guys can learn the best surveying and mapping class?"

A lieutenant recommended himself embarrassedly: "Prince, the humble achievements are not bad."

It was him. Chen Ao patted his shoulder and gave him a glorious mission: "Call some brothers and organize people to draw a topographic map of the new city. Is it enough for you to give three days?"

The captain gritted his teeth and said, "I can draw it even if I don't sleep."

Three days are really short of shortage, but fortunately there is an open space, and the lieutenant has a lot of people, and they learn well in surveying and mapping classes. At least it is not a problem to come up with a sketch.

Chen Ao ordered them to go, stayed in the prefect's office and sat idle for a while, spent lunch here, and had some ideas about the new city, so he wondered if he would delay here for a few more days and go to Xinghua Army. Anyway, he was not afraid that the Cai family would run away. Now the next photo is to let Zhijun Duan Hai surrounded the house.

After making up his mind, Chen Ao was much more relaxed. Quanzhou is more relevant to Chen Ao than the Cai family. After all, this place will be Chen Ao's foundation in the future. Taking advantage of this opportunity, you can raise more points if you can. When you are in the future, you can explain to your own children. Otherwise, when your son grows up, he will look at the map, spread his hands, and say, "Dad, you sold your son." Chen Ao will definitely be embarrassed at that time.

The servants in Quanzhou went to the Chamber of Commerce to inform the Chamber of Commerce. The merchants in Quanzhou used the Chamber of Commerce as a gathering point. This is different from the Suzhou and Hangzhou. Although there are Chamber of Commerce, they are not as united as Quanzhou. After all, Quanzhou has no family reliance, and there are no relatives and fellow villagers in the court. Businessmen can only be transformed into a group and rely on each other in the form of Chamber of Commerce to accommodate themselves.

So you only need to pass the message to the Chamber of Commerce. Even if almost all the merchants in Quanzhou have been informed, in addition to this, there is also a mosque outside the city. Although there is a temple, at least in the eyes of the servants, it is just that the Bodhisattvas worshipped by the Great Cats. One function of this mosque is to worship the Great Cats, and the other also has the function of the Great Cats Chamber of Commerce, so the news was also handed over.

When the merchants heard that the King of Pingxi had invited him and had some discussions, they did not dare to neglect them. They immediately elected some famous merchants from the Chamber of Commerce to visit him tomorrow.

However, everyone was confused about what King Pingxi was going to say to them. Could it be...Is he going to ask for bribes? This is a bit more likely. King Pingxi is...haha... Everyone knows one thing. Since he doesn't accept gifts, he may not be looking down on that little thing.

The chambers of commerce also closed the door and discussed it for a while, and finally they all took the bill. After all, the same sentence was still the same. It was easy to ask for money. For them, if King Pingxi did not ask for the money, he would feel uneasy. It would be better to give it a lot to save everyone from being uneasy.
