After setting foot on the land of Fengchenggang again, Zhang Wei sighed in his heart and took Luo Sasha back to Yang's house and asked someone to arrange for her to live in the first place. The first thing he did was to report his safety to Yang Zhiyuan.

"My father-in-law! The son-in-law is back!" The door of the study room was not closed. Zhang Wei saw Yang Zhiyuan inside and quickly bowed and shouted.

This time, the Yang family mobilized all resources to find him, which was deeply affectionate and loyal. Especially since his father-in-law opposed the opposition and transferred a lot of Sanwu's mine protection team. Zhang Wei was naturally very grateful for this love.

"Ah!" Yang Zhiyuan looked up and showed surprise, but his words were quite restrained. He just said twice with a slight excitement: "It's good to come back! It's good to come back!"

"You are worried about my father-in-law, and you are worried!" Zhang Wei once again gave a deep bow to express his gratitude.

"It's all a family, so there's no need to do this." Yang Zhiyuan hurried over and helped him up and said again: "Just come back!"

He smiled with relief and said, "I have never dared to talk to my family about this trip. Your mother-in-law and Shiqing sisters still don't know."

"Since my son-in-law is back, it's okay to say it. This time I've been dead for a lifetime and almost died of Hejian." Zhang Wei sighed a little, and then he told Yang Zhiyuan about the matter about Hejian Mansion.

Speaking of being almost killed by the bandits, Yang Zhiyuan showed anger and gritted his teeth. When he talked about the misunderstanding of the court sending a large army to intimidate him, he frowned slightly, as if he was worried.

When he talked about destroying the bandits, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was revenge. But when the Liao Cavalry attacked, his heart that had just been relieved immediately became hung again. He heard that the Liao Cavalry was no match for the Yang family, and he immediately showed a smug look.

Afterwards, Zhang Wei briefly explained the three parties' transactions sent by the government office and the commander of the Hejian camp. Only then did Yang Zhiyuan completely relieved and was very satisfied with Zhang Wei's handling.

At that time, he didn't think much about it, but just wanted to find Zhang Wei, and almost used all the people who could move, and did not even consider the attitude of the Hejian Government Office. Now he thought he was a little impulsive.

If you say hello in advance and send a letter from Fengcheng Mansion, you can reduce many misunderstandings. However, by accident, not only did you not offend Hejian Mansion, but you helped Hejian to defend his territory and make meritorious contributions.

No one expected such a thing. Through such things, the relationship with Hejian Prefecture has basically deepened a lot. It can even be said that it will be unobstructed in Hejian in the future.

"My father-in-law, although this matter has come to an end for the time being, we must also prevent problems before it happens." Zhang Wei was still a little worried and said, "Although the war in the north has begun now and we don't care about these trivial matters, we can't tell you it will be revealed at any time."

After a pause, Zhang Wei said solemnly: "After all, there are many witnesses, and it will be spread sooner or later. We have made plans. My idea is to say hello to the Privy Council in case of time."

"You are also in touch with the Privy Council. Next time you go, you will report to the Lord of the Zhiyuan in person and ask for a crime!" Yang Zhiyuan naturally understood what he meant.

This is to report the use of military armor. It is just said that it was built for the court, borrowed temporarily, and used on the right path. It is also a way to make up for the merits and demerits. Even if you need to punish it, it will not be too heavy. It is always much better than what others have exposed it.

"However, there is nowhere in Hejian Mansion..." Zhang Wei was a little reluctant to speak. He was afraid that after reporting, he would betray the merits reported by Hejian Mansion.

"You don't have to worry about this. What a person, Master Zhiyuan, I believe you can see that they don't have this ability at a glance. Moreover, after you report, Master Zhiyuan will not touch them, and you still have to set an example."

Although Yang Zhiyuan has average business skills, he is still very thorough in his official career. After all, he has experienced a lot, so he naturally has a deep understanding of these things. He is only familiar with them!

"I heard from you that this trip has gained a lot. It not only deepened its relationship with Hejian Mansion, but also recruited a lot of people?" Yang Zhiyuan was a little confused about this. Now there is enough people on Crescent Island and Sanwu, and I don't know what it means to recruit so many more people.

Zhang Weibing talked about the matters of Shi Jianguo and Liu Qiu again and said, "These two places are the focus of our next development, especially Shi Jianguo. The minerals there are the most important resources we will find next."

He paused and said, "The news brought by going there to transport grain is that a large number of rich silver mines were found there!"

"Ah?" Yang Zhiyuan was shocked. This was a remarkable thing. The two metals that Dayan lacked the most now are copper and silver. Both of them can be minted.

Especially silver, which was originally circulated in a small scale, but later copper coins became increasingly difficult to meet the use of bulk transactions, so gold and silver were used. Among them, silver was the most commonly used and was the most recognized by the people.

If this stone saw the country's rich silver mine and there were a large number of them, it could be said that this could be directly cashed in. No wonder it requires a large number of manpower, Yang Zhiyuan suddenly realized.

"However, the mine slaves are mainly Easterners. The victims I removed are mainly responsible for reclamation there. After all, farming is the specialty of the Central Plains!" Zhang Wei smiled slightly.

Farming has been imprinted into the bones of the people of the Central Plains for thousands of years. When you don’t see the modern times, news often reports that Chinese people grow vegetables in Antarctica, South America, and even on the rooftops.

This kind of talent is really deep into the bone marrow. Even if you live in a building, people often plant onions in flower pots or get some water to raise garlic seedlings.

Of course, there is another point, that is, the danger of mine slaves is extremely high. Since there are ready-made Eastern people and the ones they are preparing to build are also colonies, Zhang Wei naturally cannot bear to the suffering of the people of the Central Plains.

"Liuqiu is just a few strongholds, but what's the use?" Yang Zhiyuan nodded and asked about the port again.

He was naturally very satisfied with Shi Jianguo, mainly because of the silver mine. After all, the Yang family started out in the mining industry, so this is considered an old business.

In contrast, not only did not find minerals in Liuqiu, but there were also savages who would conflict at any time. And I also heard that miasma was everywhere and it was not very suitable for living.

"I told you before that you can occupy a foothold, you can develop slowly, gradually occupy, and radiate to the South Ocean. Now the East China Sea is our territory, but we have not yet entered the South Ocean."

Zhang Wei briefly said his plan and said, "There are many islands over there, which are difficult to control. I mean, take a similar method as the East China Sea, occupy one or two places, and then strong ships and cannons will deter the South China Sea."

Yang Zhiyuan nodded. His son-in-law's series of strategies for overseas development were all realized one by one, especially this time when the soldiers of the Yang family could compete with the Liao cavalry. It is probably not difficult to conquer overseas.

"Xiao Wei, I have always had something unknown." After hearing this, Yang Zhiyuan asked hesitantly.

Zhang Wei hurriedly said, "My father-in-law, please speak, and the son-in-law will naturally know everything!"

"Are our overseas layout a bit scattered?" Yang Zhiyuan considered his words and said, "We are now a little bit like a little bit. If we want to ask for it, we will take it directly. If we want to go to the East, we will do the same. Why do we just write a nail?"

When Zhang Wei heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I told you before that my plan is a colonial plan, but it must also be adapted to local conditions."

He paused and said, "Ru Liuqiu, there are many immigrants from Fujian and Yue, who are also people from the Central Plains. Naturally, I cannot directly enslave them, but let them slowly submit to you through employment and division."

Seeing that Yang Zhiyuan nodded slightly, it seemed that he still recognized Liu Qiu's slow move, and he said again:

"Let's talk about the East, where the land is barren, but it actually occupies a lot of land. If we occupy it directly, we will waste manpower to control it. Now we defeat their governments and divide them everywhere, and then gain benefits by exploiting their governments. Even if the people below resist, they will not resist us."

Yang Zhiyuan said in confusion: "Didn't Shi Jianguo take over?"

Zhang Wei nodded and said, "We are actually occupying rich mines. A small country like Shijianguo is nothing in the East. We must have the mine in our hands, but the area it occupies is not large, and they will not gather the strength of the whole country to resist."

Seeing that Yang Zhiyuan seemed to have some understanding, Zhang Wei continued: "What you said is scattered, but in fact, the places we control are based on Crescent Island as the core and navigation as the means to connect all places."

Yang Zhiyuan roughly understood Zhang Wei's meaning and said: Just like this, when something happens in Hejian, several ships can immediately pass by, which is actually much more convenient than on land!"

"Yes! Our core is actually the ocean!" Zhang Wei said: "My goal is that in the future, we will only be the only voice in all oceans!"

After a pause, as if his eyes were full of brightness, Zhang Wei said loudly: "It's the Yang family fleet!"

Yang Zhiyuan was deeply relieved. Zhang Wei’s blueprint was very big, but he had already realized one thing. He naturally knew that the ocean was wider than the land. If it was really as he said, wouldn’t the Yang family be countless times stronger than Da Yan?

Yang Zhiyuan shook his head and laughed, but this did not negate Zhang Wei, but he felt that he might not see that day, but he still praised:

"The virtuous son-in-law has such great ambitions, so he will not let his ancestors go!"

-------------------------------------

I feel deeply moved back to Yang's mansion,

First report to your safety and meet your father-in-law.

Tell me aspirations only one corner,

Don’t let the ancestors go in the middle of the sea!
Chapter completed!
