1016、I am very satisfied
After almost a month of long journey, Wang Xuance finally returned from Guangzhou to Chang'an. ~x.co. He quickly rode a fast horse along the way, so he was very fast and had almost no rest. After returning to Chang'an, the first thing he did was to clean himself up and then come to Jing Wen's house. Jing Wen also received Wang Xuance, wanting to know what he did in Guangzhou. Jing Wen also wanted to see Wang Xuance's abilities and see how good he was.
"Sir, I'm lucky to be able to save my fate and have done a lot of things." Wang Xuance said.
And Jing Wen immediately asked: "How much have you done?"
Wang Xuance immediately said: "Sir, after I went to Guangzhou, the first thing I did was to form a naval army. I recruited coastal fishermen and began to form some naval army of thousands of people. These naval army will rush to the strait you mentioned in the future, and then let me, the Tang Dynasty completely occupy that land. However, we have not achieved that step yet. We can only make them able to advance along the coastline, and not be able to travel long distances directly on the ocean. And once the shore is too far away, the navy soldiers may also have a disease, which can only be solved after they go ashore."
"It's okay, a century-old navy is not that easy. It's too difficult to form a navy than an army." Jing Wen said.
Of course, Jing Wen knew that it was not easy to form a navy. From later generations, there was a saying called a century-old navy, and the navy was also a navy. The economic costs of the navy can be said to be very huge, even in ancient times, it was a lot of wood. There were also hiring personnel, even various trainings on water, and going to sea to practice, which required a lot of economic costs. First of all, Wang Xuance had to be able to get money, and if he had no money, he would not be able to form a training navy.
In the past, China's navy was fighting in domestic rivers, but in the future, the navy had to think about overseas combat. This was the difference. China actually always attached importance to the army and despised the navy. When it needed the navy, they would train several years in advance. In the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Baekje in history, it was because of the need for the navy that tens of thousands of navy were temporarily trained. Jing Wen looked down on this behavior of cramming, and the navy was an important branch that could help China expand its territory. However, China never attached importance to the navy, so Jing Wen had no choice.
So Jing Wen took the initiative to raise some funds and then organized a naval army for Wang Xuance. These naval armies have also been reported to the emperor for review. After all, if they cannot pass the review, Jing Wen would not dare to train soldiers without authorization. Li Shimin actually wanted to join the naval army more. Now the Tang Dynasty has no place to need naval army, so he does not pay much attention to these things. However, Jing Wen invested this money and will cultivate the first batch of naval army troops in the Tang Dynasty, which can be continuously expanded and passed on as seeds.
"Sir, but we have not been able to explore that trade route well!" Wang Xuance said embarrassedly.
Wang Xuance was really embarrassed because Jing Wen once said that from Guangzhou, it could expand overseas, and then there was a very wealthy business road. These business roads were actually the Maritime Silk Road, which could be exchanged for the Silk Road on land. However, when Wang Xuance went to Guangzhou, he could not explore a business road, so Wang Xuance felt a little disappointed. Because Wang Xuance knew the huge wealth of this Silk Road. If he could explore it, it would be a great achievement. Such a great contribution would be completely awarded a title. However, it was not possible to explore it now, which made Wang Xuance a little depressed.
"What are you anxious about? Where is it that easy?" Jing Wen snorted.
Of course, Jing Wen knew that this Maritime Silk Road had been completed after hundreds of years of exploration. Although there is a rough map of Jing Wen, it will take at least decades to explore some ways. So Jing Wen naturally would not think that Wang Xuance could explore within a few years. If he could complete within a few years, Jing Wen would suspect that he had got the alien's golden finger. So Jing Wen heard that he did not explore it. Not only was there no surprise, but he felt that it was very normal. After all, if he explored it, there would be a problem.
However, although Jing Wen has a rough map and even knows the rough route. However, these maps are not very detailed, and the hydrological situation is very different. So if Jing Wen gave them the map of later generations, there would probably be many problems. So Jing Wen could only take out the rough map and then give them to explore it themselves, so that they could complete enough exploration tasks. As for the Maritime Silk Road, Jing Wen was not in a hurry. Jing Wen's goal was to be able to see the first transaction on the Maritime Silk Road when he was alive in his life, and it would take less than three or two years to achieve results.
"Okay, Wang Xuance, I'm quite satisfied with the current situation you are exploring. And you can have the opportunity to continue completing this task next, and your rights will only be greater, not reduced in the future." Jing Wen said.
"Sir, am I going to be promoted?" Wang Xuance asked.
Jing Wen immediately asked: "Don't you know why you are coming back this time?"
"I don't know, the eunuch who sent the order did not say it, but just urged me to come to Chang'an to report my job as soon as possible. I just said that I seemed to be changing my position, so I wanted to inquire with you. However, I have not completed the tasks assigned by you and the court in Guangzhou, so I was promoted and transferred like this. Isn't this not good, right?" Wang Xuance said.
Jing Wen was also a little funny when he heard Wang Xuance's statement. He had his opinions on this guy's promotion. However, there were too few people who could be so conscientious and responsible. He didn't want to be promoted and had to complete the task. How many people have been so conscientious since ancient times?
"Okay, you don't have to worry about it. Next, you will have good things for you. And when you reach a new official position, you can continue to complete the corresponding tasks. And then you will have greater authority, and the process of completing tasks will definitely be smoother than when you were in Guangzhou. So you can rest assured and don't have to worry about any difficult things at all." Jing Wen said.
"Please make it clear that where will I be transferred to this time?" Wang Xuance continued to ask. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
