The Heroine’s Route is Wrong

The bulk of timber was loaded on more than a dozen large treasure ships and one Xiyi galleon before evening. The sailors from Xiyi are now employed by Sino-Ocean Company, so they can organize such a large caravan in such a short period of time. In the past two years, the sailors in the Central Plains have learned a lot from them. Because they can't return to the Philippines now, the living conditions in Central Plains are pretty good, and there is no major trouble.

A month later, their ship arrived at Songjiang River. Before the cargo was unloaded, Huo Tianfang rushed to find them and told them about the occupation of Fujian by the southeast pirates.

Zhao Qingyi thought to himself that the time was a little earlier, perhaps because of the butterfly effect.

Huo Tianfang looked at Zhao Qingyi with complicated eyes, and said: "Zijing can be regarded as a godsend. Cheng Bao's development in the past two years is beyond people's imagination. The court sent tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight against the rebellion. They were beaten by them. Throw away your helmet and armor."

Zhao Qingyi said: "Fighting in Fujian is considered a home battle for the pirates. It takes advantage of the land and people. Now the court has been ousted from the former dynasty Zhang Xiang's faction, party fights have continued, and armaments have been abolished. The northern frontiers can still fight, but they have to Guarding the northern border. How much does it cost the court to transfer the northern frontier army to Fujian to counter the rebellion?"

Huo Tianfang said: "Then the imperial court can only call for peace. I don't know if Cheng Bao will really want to be a consort."

Zhao Qingyi smiled happily, and Huo Tianfang said: "I still don't understand what benefit Cheng Bao would do to us if he became a consort."

"Well, I'm jealous that others can be princesses. I'm a beggar. It's cool when I see my father-in-law marry Cheng Bao."

"..."

"Very abnormal?"

Huo Tianfang touched his nose and said, "It's very unexpected."

Zhao Qingyi said: "With Cheng Bao, they attracted the attention of the court, and we took the opportunity to make a fortune."

Lu Xu said: "I guess our caravan will open to the south in the future, and there will always be conflicts with Cheng Bao's people."

"Of course there will be conflicts. This is normal, but you have to believe that we can resolve them."

If there is no conflict, how can there be a reason to go to war, defeat them and replace them? But now Cheng Bao is still in awe of her judgments. In the future, if they want free overseas trade, the other party must have conflicting interests. By the time Cheng Bao had recruited security, if the court helped Cheng Bao suppress them, it could take advantage of the trend.

Zhao Qingyi had already thought about the direction of the conflict of interests of all parties. If such a rebellion was unsuccessful, she was only in her twenties at that time, and she could design a comeback.

Zhao Qingyi inspected the shipyard in the next two days. Now the keels of two sea ships have been laid, both of which are redwood from the south. This kind of redwood is slightly better in quality than the Korean oak. The only disadvantage is that it is more Korean oak is much more expensive.

They gathered the most and best craftsmen in Jiangnan with relatively high salaries, but laying the keels of four ships at the same time was limited in terms of manpower and material supply.

The underwater part of the ship should also be covered with thin lead sheets and tar canvas, otherwise it will be bitten by marine wood-eating creatures such as boat borers, which is very deadly.

Lead has a low melting point and strong flexibility. It is not difficult to make lead plates with current technology, but there is a lot of demand for this, and the production efficiency can be imagined.

After checking the shipbuilding process and quality, Zhao Jinxiu told her that the money was spent too quickly, and the money invested in the early days is less than half, and there are a lot of expenses for buying ships, wood, and wages.

Zhao Qingyi, as the chief financial officer and one of the three giants of the board of directors, cannot ignore it, but Zhao Qingyi also has opinions on Huo Tianfang. As the general manager, he is not worried.

She couldn't help looking for the door, making tea and chatting in his little courtyard.

After dismissing the subordinates, Zhao Qingyi talked about the company's current predicament.

He said shamelessly: "You are an expert in this respect, you don't think there is a problem, I believe you."

Zhao Qingyi said: "You are the general manager. I can't manage so many things. Now that the fleet is back, you have to open up business. You must know the shipping and logistics business of inland firms, or the ocean trade business."

Huo Tianfang said, "I really don't know how to do business like you."

Zhao Qingyi said: "No matter black cats or white cats, those who can catch mice are good cats. How your Huo family used to do business in the past can do that now."

He glanced at her, smiled slightly, did not speak, and only passed her a cup of tea leisurely.

Zhao Qingyi suddenly reacted and said, "Uh...I don't want our company to grab your original business from the Southern Five Provinces Union. It looks ugly and offends people. To start a new business is to get into the business, and so on. I can’t wait. How did you pioneer before, and you just want to develop for the company with that kind of mentality. Or, you can go to Annan or Japan early next year to try the water, and you can’t let your people free. Everyone has to eat."

Huo Tianfang said: "It seems that you know the doorway. It's better for you to become the general manager."

Huo Tianfang said that the doorway is very deep. The Huo family is the head of the five provinces of martial arts. Some businesses on the road have a fixed business network. It is not that the Huo family can grab those businesses by taking a stake in the company. Everyone has to eat.

Zhao Qingyi said: "Then if..."

"what if?"

Zhao Qingyi was silent for a long time without speaking. Huo Tianfang was even more curious and said: "You and Lu Xu have nothing to talk about. I am always an outsider and I don't know many things."

Zhao Qingyi said: "What are you doing inquiring into other people's privacy? My brother and I are both from the Penglai school. What's weird about some things in the school?"

Huo Tianfang said: "You treat me differently from him."

Zhao Qingyi said: "I won't tell you this. If you let me be the general manager now, it would be ugly, if the power develops, in the future... will you listen to my orders?"

"What's the meaning?"

"At this difficult time, I am supporting the company in an all-round way. I am kind to everyone. Even if I give you the position of the boss, you may not be able to convince them. The company is now unable to make ends meet because of shipbuilding and cultivating talents. It’s because I’ve spent so much effort on shipbuilding and talent reserve. I will also expand my business in the future. The whole company’s talents will be me-centered. Focus on you? All three companies make a share of the money, but what about other things?"

Huo Tianfang's eyes flickered and said, "What on earth do you want to do?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "Aren't you smart? The court cannot defeat the naval bandits today, and the Xiyi and northern foreigners tomorrow. If you want to develop overseas, without a home base as a base camp, you will encounter many difficulties in the future, I am afraid it is impossible to fight. From Xiyi. I am a woman, so it is inconvenient; the Lu family has been officials from generation to generation, and Dajin treats them not badly, and righteousness is there, which is also inconvenient."

Huo Tian put it up and walked a few steps back and forth, then sat down again, frowned and remained silent for a while, and said, "I'm afraid I won't meet your expectations."

Zhao Qingyi thought: I don't have high expectations of you, as long as it is stronger than today.

Zhao Qingyi didn't take the three-pleasure and three-resignation set, and said straightly: "Then I will think of a way."

Huo Tianfang squinted his eyes and said, "Did you have no purpose when the company was founded?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "Everyone has a purpose, as long as cooperation is beneficial to everyone."

Huo Tianfang said: "Where is such a thing easy to touch? If you marry me and you are a good internal helper, I will have the confidence to do anything."

Zhao Qingyi couldn't help but chuckled and said: "People want to live comfortably all their lives, they have to earn money, and position themselves. Since I get money and position by myself, why don't I help myself and be a man? What kind of good help? So, I'm not good at all."

Huo Tianfang said, "Are you going to become a monk and become a Taoist priest?"

Zhao Qingyi shook his head and said, "That's not true, but I didn't like you. How could I even pay for those things?"

"Do you like Lu Xu?"

"I don’t like anyone. I’m not like you who are older than you, so you can take your time. I’m going to the capital to do business with the Penglai school. Don't regret it."

"Wait!" Huo Tianfang stopped her, staring sharply at her, "You have the ability to calculate Cheng Bao's development. At that time, you wanted to protect the interests of the Lu Family. Your ultimate goal was to replace it. You do it now. What do you want to do with me?"

"Do you think you and Cheng Bao are the same kind of people? The imperial court has lost its sea power, but the southern part of the country has developed business and trade, and there are too many benefits here. Although Cheng Bao was born in a reckless manner, he is more foresighted than ordinary sea bandits. The rapid development of the position of the leader shows that he has some abilities. From this it is not difficult to judge that he wants to make a fortune. However, Cheng Bao's vision is limited to dominating the southeast coast."

Huo Tianfang asked: "So, I became the one you chose?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "In the past, the Emperor Taizu of the Great Jin developed in the two lakes and two rivers. It was easy and difficult to rule the Central Plains. Those who did these things needed an inland foundation. Now it is a bit more difficult than the Taizu of the Great Jin. During his Northern Expedition Facing a foreign court, righteousness lies with him. You want to replace it with righteousness. It is a bit of a hindrance, but it does not matter if you pinch a few more cards, such as the power on the ocean, the advantage of financial resources, the advantage of equipment, and the advanced system. And the advantage of diverse talents. The weakness of the current court can be seen from the first battle in the southeast. In fact, the overall military in the south of the Yangtze River is not strong. As long as the Cheng family is replaced by the sea, the army will take the south of the river and the financial resources of the south are several times that of the north. The wealth of Shanghai is like a tiger. The people in the north are already in distress. The Jin court is blocked by the southern economy and its finances are in danger. Once taxes are raised in the north, corrupt officials will take the opportunity to take advantage of it. We thought that the Emperor Jin was in the name of the Northern Expedition in the name of revenge; the imperial court suppressed the rebels and left most of their lives, so we would expedition to the north in the name of equalizing the fields, and the people would return to their hearts; Yidi took the opportunity to invade the south and expedition to the north in the name of saving China. Within ten years It can unify the Central Plains in one fell swoop, and since then establish a Chinese empire with equal emphasis on land and sea development, with the Central Plains as its base camp developing into an unowned territory around the world."

Huo Tianfang took a deep breath and said: "Zhuge Wuhou was the one who did the trial of "Longzhong Dui". He looked forward and didn't know where he learned these skills at a young age? You were not Penglai before. Sent."

Zhao Qingyi said: "I really can't explain it. But if you do, everyone in the same boat, we can't betray each other?"

Huo Tianfang said: "Up to now, you still hide from me, how can I believe you?"

Zhao Qingyi thought for a while and said: "If you can wait until Cheng Bao is successfully recruited, he will really marry a princess, and I will tell you again. It's up to you now, if you don't support the company, I will come back and do it myself. ."

Zhao Qingyi left the Huo family, thinking that the best way to rebel against PnA is to succeed. But under such good conditions, the Huo family still didn't do it. Zhao Qingyi had to find someone else. It really didn't work. She didn't want to work hard and lost money to fight for others, so she had to do it herself. If you want to be an emperor, you should always be responsible.

Soon, Zhao Qingyi went north. At this time, it was different from going to Korea to do business or going back to Penglai to do errands. This time it was not for official business. When Lu Xu came back, Zhao Qingyi felt a little burdened.

This person obviously liked her, but he was always serious and didn't show her what happened. However, she is more skeptical about the man who likes her so much and will jail her, because if Huo Tianfang proposes to marry a man who is even a bit interesting to her or a boy like Lu Xi, they like her again, too. Will not stare at her from time to time.

Zhao Qingyi feels that this is not the way to go, but it should be done as soon as possible. He doesn't take off his clothes, and she can't take the initiative when she's uncertain. Is there any way to take a look. If he is he, he will slowly get rid of his serious problems, if he is not he, he will rush to give him despair.
