Cao Tiancheng stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the huge bay in front of him, nodding with satisfaction: "This place was chosen well."

Because of the oppression of the Ming Navy, Qi finally realized the role of a powerful navy. Revitalizing the navy became the top priority of Qi. But as far as the current situation is concerned, the Ming Navy has already reached a considerable scale, while the Qi State has nothing. Under such circumstances, the Ming people naturally would not watch Qi State build shipyards on a large scale and train sailors, and would definitely make trouble in all directions. Choosing the most difficult-to-attack place as the future naval base of Qi State became the top priority.

After several months of selection, the site was finally selected in Crab Bay, Yanlai County, Laizhou County. The Crab Bay was as good as a huge crab, stretching out two powerful pliers to wrap around a large area of ​​sea. The entrance between the two pliers was very narrow, but it was a natural harbor, no matter whether it was the depth of water or the area of ​​water inside.

Now a large-scale construction is underway, and tens of thousands of civilians are gathered here, working day and night. What they want to build is not only the shipyard, but also the defensive measures on the two engravings. Sections of the city wall are forming on the two engraving arms. The city tower, water village, and countless underwater defensive measures have begun to take shape.

All of this is to prevent the Ming Navy from rushing in under the banner of pirates to destroy the efforts of Qi people.

Cao Tiancheng waved, and Ding Xianming, the governor of Laizhou County, immediately stood forward two steps, lowered his eyebrows and respectfully prepared to listen to the emperor's orders.

"You did a good job." Cao Tiancheng pointed to the densely packed ants below, who were working hard like ants, and read Ding's statement with admiration: "One hundred thousand people gather together can allow them to work peacefully without giving birth to anything else. Everything is busy but not messy, complex and orderly, good, good. Chief assistant, it seems that you are still not good at seeing any law. A talent like this has been in Laizhou County for many years but has not been promoted."

Tian Fen smiled slightly. The emperor seemed to be blaming, but he didn't really blame him. In the past few years, the powerful families had a huge influence in the court. He devoted more energy to fighting with these people. How could he pay attention to the county magistrates of a small county? But now it seems that this person is really a capable person. You must know that these 100,000 people come from several counties and states. These people leave their hometowns to perform labor service. It is indeed not easy for them to be so peaceful.

"Your Majesty blames that the old minister has dereliction of duty, but this may be exactly what God wants to do. The magistrate of Ding specially arranged for him to do such a big thing here. When this mission is done, he will naturally be able to go to His Majesty to listen to it."

Ding Shengming was flattered. Since these two people had spoken, their success was basically just around the corner. They bent their waists deeper: "It was the duty of the minister to serve His Majesty, and they dare not take credit."

Cao Tiancheng nodded: "Mr. Ding County Magistrate, Laizhou used to be just a small county, with a small population and not rich, but from now on, this place is one of the most important county governors in my Great Qi. As the county magistrate here, you have to work harder."

"Yes! Your Majesty, don't worry, I will be trembling and dare not neglect at all."

"It's not only you, but also the people who do things." Cao Tiancheng said: "From here, construction started, and a large amount of money was gathered here continuously. The money spent here every day is probably the harvest of the entire prefecture and county in the past. With more money, some people's hearts might be dark."

"I must never dare to be greedy." The sweat on Ding Shengming's forehead immediately flowed out.

"I'm not talking about you." Cao Tiancheng snorted: "The construction department of the Ministry of Works is the construction department of the Ministry of Works, but the coordinated arrangement is you, the county magistrate. Your eyes should be wider and more careful. I will give you special power. Anyone who dares to greedy for the money from the rebuilding of the navy will take you to me. I promise you to take action first and then report. No matter whether this person is a high-ranking official or a relative of the emperor, I want every penny allocated by the court to be spent on the rebuilding of the navy."

"I, I will never dare to bear the grace of the Holy One!" Ding Xianming knelt down with a loud voice, touched the ground with his forehead, and said loudly. It can be said that the power that Cao Tiancheng granted him suddenly made him the real leader here. You must know that before, no matter whether it was the Construction Department of the Ministry of Works or the generals stationed here, no one dared to show his face.

"A year later, I hope to see the first warship sailing from the shipyard here to the sea." Cao Tiancheng said: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We started from scratch and are already too far behind. Over the years, I have seen from many memorials how the officials of the Ming Dynasty were doing their work efficiently and how they led by themselves. Officials like Ma Xiangnan, who had their own strength, turned a Changyang County, which was extremely poor, into the Shangjun land of the Ming Dynasty today. Ding stated that I hope you are Ma Xiangnan of Daqi."

"I will definitely do it." Ding Shengming raised his head, with tears shining in his eyes. After sitting on the bench for many years, he finally turned around to be the master of his family.

"Okay, go ahead and do things well, and I won't let you down." Cao Tiancheng waved his hand and signaled that Ding could retreat.

Excited Ding Shengming staggered away from the top of the mountain. Looking at his back, Tian Fen smiled and said, "With His Majesty's words, Ding Shengming must devote his entire work and die."

"I don't want him to die." Cao Tiancheng sighed and said, "Looking at the bottom, you will know that this person is still a very capable person. Now we are the ones who are so capable."

"In the past, the wealthy families of aristocratic families controlled the road to progress. There were too few people in the court who wanted to truly work for the country, but now it has been much better. Your Majesty, Da Qi, is on the right path and will get better and better."

"Of course, it will get better and better." Cao Tiancheng laughed loudly, laughed for a while, but his face became heavier: "Sincere assistant, do you say that in a year, can we see our own fleet?"

Tian Fen was silent for a while before saying, "Your Majesty, our Daqi has been abandoned above the navy for too long. The talents in this industry have basically been out of stock. The Zhou family of Bozhou was originally a choice, but unfortunately we didn't catch them. I read the talents in this field collected from all over the country, and some of them were almost gone. The original shipbuilding books of the Tang Dynasty that were finally dug out from the royal archives were also incomplete. However, Your Majesty, as long as we are united and insist on the green mountains and do not relax, the old minister thought it would be possible."

"I hope that Ning Zefeng can bring me surprise." Cao Tiancheng took a deep breath, "It's not in vain that we spent a lot of effort to get him back. Chief Supervisor, do you think I did something wrong with the Zhou family in Bozhou? If I deliberately connect with the Zhou family, wouldn't it be another scene now?"

"Your Majesty, the Zhou family of Bozhou is also a member of my wealthy family in Daqi. If we want to cut off the control of the government of the aristocratic families, we can only make up our minds. It is not wrong to deal with the Zhou family. We are wrong to do it in a clean and neat way. If we do well, the Zhou family of Bozhou will destroy them and then take the craftsmen under their command to the court. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world, but Ning Zefeng will bring some such talents that we urgently need. This person has a deep hatred for his younger brother Ning Zeyuan and Mingguo. When he arrives in Daqi, he will definitely do his best to serve my Daqi. Such people are what we need most." Tian Fen said: "The people we want not only need to use talents, but also have the heart to serve the country, or have a common goal with us. Such a wealthy family will never be able to turn their families into countries. What they want most is to turn their countries into families."

Cao Tiancheng said viciously: "Look soon, I will let them know what a country is and what family is!"

The sound of rapid footsteps sounded on the mountain road. Cao Tiancheng and Tian Fen turned around and saw an official from Tongzhengsi holding a memorial in his hand and were running towards them in a hurry.

"As soon as I saw his face, I knew there was no good news coming!" Cao Tiancheng snorted, "Prime Minister, guess what bad news will be?"

"Is it because of the unhappiness of the rebellion in Bozhou?" Tian Fen said: "Your Majesty still remember the letter of nationality sent by the Ming Dynasty when we left Chang'an? The old minister probably was afraid that the revenge of the Ming Dynasty would come."

Cao Tiancheng snorted, Cao Hui tied Ning Zhiwen, which was approved by him. It was originally a matter of killing three birds with one stone. If Qin Feng did not agree to the replacement, it would inevitably make those who had sex with him in Chu State dissatisfied with him. If Qin Feng agreed, he could get the urgently needed naval talent Ning Zefeng, and at the same time, he could also bring Cao Yun together. In Cao Tiancheng's view, if Qin Feng was furious and took his anger on Cao Yun who was crossing the capital, it would be a joy.

However, Qin Feng's reaction was beyond his expectations, and he actually sent him a letter of nationality with 800 miligas. It was said that it was a letter of nationality, but it was actually a threatening letter.

The general idea is that the two countries are fighting each other. There is nothing to blame for the conspiracy and conspiracy, but they cannot break the most basic rules. Since you, Qi State, break the rules first, then don't blame me, Ming Dynasty, for breaking the rules.

This naked threat letter was denounced by Cao Tiancheng. Those who accomplish great things are not limited to trivial matters and the two countries compete for hegemony. What are the rules?

Now it seems that the other party is really not talking to him or her.

The Tongzhengsi officials presented the memorial with both hands, but they bent over and did not dare to lift it up.

Cao Tiancheng only looked at a few lines and was already furious.

The 10,000 Long Xiang army attacking Bozhou was destroyed in Liyang. The reason for the destruction was that a Ming army landed in Fuxian with the help of the navy, captured the Long Xiang army's retreat, and caught the unexpected Long Xiang army off guard.
