Yan Lide bowed and said, "You should do your best if you make up your mind."

Li Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, you can go home and prepare."

Yan Lide nodded and said, "I understand. I will arrange for my family to come back to see Chang'an order in a few days and go to the East China Sea."

Seeing Yan Lide leave in a hurry, Li Zheng walked towards the county magistrate's office in Jingyang.

There are no people here on weekdays.

Shangguan Yi and Duan Lun have always been doing things.

Li Zheng walked into it, but he didn't see anyone else, nor did he see Shangguan Yi.

However, Duan Lun was lying on the desk in the government office and was dozing.

Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Li Zheng patted the table.

The snoring sound of sleeping came in abruptly. Duan Lun opened his eyes and quickly stood up from the table. When he saw Li Zheng, he said, "Chang'an Order."

Li Zheng smiled and said, "It's been fine recently."

Duan Lun rubbed his eyes and said, "I have seen it all, I have been napping here, and my life is really free."

Li Zheng said: "I hope you will do another career right now."

Duan Lun said curiously: "What's the matter?"

Turning around and looking towards the East China Sea, Li Zheng said: "I need manpower to build a shipyard in the East China Sea."

Duan Lun said in surprise: "Shipbuilding? I don't understand what it is like to build a ship."

Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "You don't need to understand. Yan Lide can do things. You just need to help him manage people and affairs. You can choose a few students from academy to help you."

Duan Lun walked a few steps back and forth, and his expression was also very entangled.

Li Zheng said again: "After the affairs of the five surnames, do you think the five surnames of Guanzhong will give you a place to stay?"

Duan Lun knew in his heart that he could not turn back if he embarked on the path of destroying the five surnames.

I am already completely tied to Li Zheng.

As long as Li is doing well, he can do well.

As Li Zheng said, there is no place for him to live in Guanzhong, and even Li Shimin will not use him.

Li Zheng said to Duan Lun: "You do something in the East China Sea and do it to the point where no one dares to underestimate you anymore. Do you think there will be someone underestimating you?"

Duan Lun whispered: "Chang'an Order, can you talk more?"

Li Zheng nodded and said, "You ask."

Duan Lun corrected his clothes, "When is the construction of a shipyard going to go overseas?

Since you go to sea, what is worthwhile at sea to build a shipyard?”

Li Zheng smiled and said, "There are many treasures on the sea, and there are many good places that have not been discovered yet. I will give you a chart or even a compass. Don't worry, all decisions on the sea will not disappoint you. It is a huge treasure."

Duan Lun said curiously: "Since Yan Lide is also involved in this matter, will the Ministry of Works and Yan Liben also know?"

Li Zheng shook the fan in his hand and said, "It's a pity that His Majesty looks down on the shipyard now, which means that the court will not participate in this matter. We only do this ourselves. Of course, we must do a good job in our business with Japan and Goguryeo. Do you understand?"

Duan Lun nodded and said, "I understand, but what should I do if I leave this Jingyang County Prime Minister's Office?"

After looking around, Li Zheng said, "Let Di Renjie come to help Shangguan Yi with his business."

Duan Lun nodded and said, "It's good that this kid Di Renjie is good."

Li Zheng said: "You can also regard the maritime industry as your turnaround. Yan Lide is responsible for the construction, you are responsible for the dispatch and coordination. If there is any need for the shipyard, please send a letter to Jingyang, and you will definitely give it to you."

Duan Lun agreed, "I understand."

Five more days passed.

Yan Lide brought his wife and children to Jingyang.

Duan Lun was also ready. The three students from Jingyang accompanied him all the way and brought a lot of silver cakes. The convoy behind him was filled with food, and the two thousand stones were sold to Japan.

Li Zheng said to Duan Lun and Yan Lide: "There will be Japanese people coming to the East China Sea to buy you things. There are two thousand stones of grain here. You can hand it over to the Japanese at that time. Remember to pay the money and deliver the goods with one hand. We will only check in cash cakes."

Duan Lun held a bill and said, "One stone of grain is thirty stagnant?"

Li Zheng nodded, "Yes, we only need to cash in."

Duan Lun thoughtfully and said, "This is too expensive."

Li Zheng smiled and said, "They have silver cakes, so don't be polite."

Duan Lun collected the bill and said, "I understand."

After seeing off Yan Lide and Duan Lun, the convoy also set off.

After the people left, Li Ji also came with him.

Seeing Li Ji walking towards here, Li Zheng said, "General, I have arranged all the food matters."

Li Ji nodded and said, "The weapons matter takes some time, but it has been arranged. It won't take too long to deliver it to the East China Sea."

Seeing Li Ji standing beside him, Li Zheng said: "Speaking of my cooperation with Your Majesty to do business, I am on the surface, and the general's business channels are not clear yet."

Li Ji said with a stern face: "This is something that Your Majesty arranges. Since Your Majesty has not told you to know, it is better that you don't know."

That's what I said, and it's useless to ask again.

I hope Brother Zhu can find out how this channel works.

Know yourself and your enemy and you will never be defeated.

It is not a good thing to be ignorant of Li Shimin's affairs.

At least you have to have a clear mind.

Seeing that it was raining again, Li Ji said: "I have always been unable to sleep well recently."

Li Zheng said: "Did you have insomnia?"

Li Ji shook his head, "It's like this when he gets older. He can't sleep when he wakes up, and he can't sleep long."

After saying that, Li Ji looked at Li Zheng again, "Don't look at me, I'll do this when you reach middle age."

There is a difference between ancient people and later generations.

After careful consideration, there is no big difference in essence.

The problems of later generations also occurred in ancient times.

When he returned home, Li Zheng said to Li Lizhi: "The matter has been arranged."

Li Lizhi said: "How much money should be allocated to the shipyard."

Li Zheng said: "No need for the time being. They should be self-sufficient, and there are also money to send to Jingyang."

Li Lizhi said: "Are you talking about the food business with Japan?"

Li Zheng nodded and said, "That's right."

Holding the account book in one hand, Li Lizhi said curiously: "I heard that Japan is very barren. They have so much money to buy food for you?"

Li Zheng held the teacup and said, "You don't know that there are records in many geographical books. There is a lot of silver mountains in Japan. There is a place called Xisanchuan in Japan, where there is a gold mine."

Li Li looked at Li Zheng in confusion.

There are many mines in Japan, and many of the minerals in Japan were the income of many daimyos and gold and silver that were used to buy people's hearts during the Shogunate period.

There are records of the gold and silver mines in Japan in many modern books.
