Chapter 165

Liu Buhe went to the street with Zheng zining and several bodyguards early the next morning.

Laizhou Prefecture is one of the three eastern prefectures of Shandong in this dynasty, and it is governed by Ye County. Yexian County is an ancient place name. The name of Yexian was first seen in the policy of the Warring States. It is recorded that "Yifeng an Pingjun is beneficial to thousands of households at night". Its name comes from yeshui. Yeyi is the yeyi. This record records that in the fifth year of the king of Qi Xiang, the Tian Dan was restored to the state of Qi after the Yan army was destroyed by the fire ox array in Jimo. He was granted the title of Prince Anping and ten thousand households of yeyi. It can be seen that Laizhou was already densely populated at that time.

In the early Western Han Dynasty, the ancestor of Han Gaozu set up Ye County here. Today, there are also dangli, YangLe, Yangshi, Linqu, qucheng and other counties in Laizhou. Among them, Ye County is governed by Donglai county. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Donglai County moved to Huang County (now Longkou), and in the Jin Dynasty, it moved back to Ye County. In the northern and Southern Dynasties, Ye County established a state, called Guangzhou, which belongs to Donglai county.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, counties and prefectures were changed several times. The name of Laizhou was changed from Guangzhou in the fifth year of emperor kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty. Later, Ye County or Donglai county or Laizhou was established in the Middle School of the Tang Dynasty. It was not stable until 758 A.D., so the name of Ye County has a longer history than Laizhou.

In the ninth year of Hongwu, Jinan not only became the political center of Shandong, but also Laizhou Zhili Prefecture was promoted to Laizhou prefecture (it was also Laizhou Prefecture from 1368 to 1373, and then reduced to Laizhou prefecture). Not only the level was higher, the jurisdiction was expanded several times, and the jurisdiction changed from one county to two prefectures and five counties,

Laizhou Prefecture governs two prefectures and five counties. The two prefectures are Pingdu Prefecture and Jiaozhou. The five counties are Ye County, Wei County, Changyi County, Gaomi County and Jimo county. Among them, Ye County is Fuguo, but ye county is also the only county directly under Laizhou Prefecture.

Yexian County is located in a strategic hub, but the city wall is not very big, only 10 miles. However, in this era, the city of ten miles has been quite large. Liu Bu is only used to staying in Linqing and Jimo. Therefore, as a government city, Yexian County seems a little small, but there are quite a lot of places of interest here, full of the characteristics of Qilu culture.

Liu Bu paid more attention to the important strategic position they were in after the Liu family controlled Laizhou. They were located in Jiaodong Peninsula. There were two sides of the sea port alone, one side was the side of Jimo Gaomi (that is, Qingdao in the future); The other side is Laizhou Bay. They can go to sea on both sides.

At present, the policy of banning the sea is implemented in Daming. Daming has no navy and only local Navy.

In fact, when Ma Dongfan was in charge of Laizhou, these sea ports could not explain anything. More importantly, they could go to sea to fish and set up some salt farms to smuggle salt.

However, if the Liu family is allowed to manage and take over, it will always be different, because the Liu family has an alliance with the Zheng family and has always had overseas channels. They can sell many of their goods overseas, and then bring back some scarce materials and things from overseas, making huge profits.

The Liu family used to follow the canal line and develop with the canal. But now, the proportion of their overseas trade is increasing, so their alliance with the Zheng family has become a top priority. It can be said that if they can control Laizhou and form an alliance with the Zheng family, their power will be more huge.

Liu Bu knew that his future father-in-law Zheng Zhibao's Zheng family was very rich and had many ships, but he always had a lot and some general things in mind, but after he saw the approximate ship data of the Zheng family from Zheng zining. He began to decide that he had to hold his wife's thigh tightly. He already felt that his Liu family had been rich. After all, the Liu family in Linqing, which had been called for decades, was the richest in the world, but it seemed that it was far inferior to the Zheng family.

It is only the Zheng family that has risen in recent years, which is far less than the profound details of the Liu family. However, the fleets, warships and sailors they own are not much different from a country. What is a rich country, that is a rich country.

The Liu family may have money, but when it comes to ships and military forces at sea, it is far worse. If they can get support from the Zheng family, it can be said that their Liu family's power will be more huge. In fact, it is promising to do overseas trade with the help of coastal advantages. Therefore, after Liu Yuanqiao completely decided to form an alliance with the Zheng family, He smashed 100000 liang of silver and won the post of governor of Laizhou.

It can be said that after he spent so much money and took the seat, with his ability and the wealth of the Liu family, it is not difficult for them to build this place into their territory. Liu Bu saw his father's plan, that is to take this as the core and develop their potential.

Shandong Peninsula is also called Jiaodong Peninsula. The pattern of the peninsula has always been Xilai dongdeng. However, Laizhou, where they are located, completely blocks the way of Dengzhou's westward advance, that is to say, if they have a rebellion or change, as long as they win the back Dengzhou, they will have no worries, and can control the whole Jiaodong Peninsula and then go all out to the West.

For others, even if they control the Jiaodong Peninsula, they belong to a corner. It is easy to be blocked by the imperial court. At that time, food, population and materials cannot be imported. There is no other way but to perish.

The Liu family is different from them. With their relationship with the Zheng family, they have a huge maritime fleet that can transport goods through the sea. Therefore, it is not so easy for the imperial court to send millions of troops to block them after having this access to the sea.

Moreover, Liu Bu began to understand his father. His father called his nickname eight sided Buddha. He was able to become the nickname because it had two unique skills, that is, heaven and earth in his sleeve and eight sided delicacy. That is to say, some of his ways of dealing with people.

I believe he came here to take charge of Laizhou Prefecture. He can make it his own territory and will not quarrel with the imperial court, because what he is best at is the work of heaven and earth in his sleeve. On the surface, he can't see anything, but secretly, he has turned the world upside down.

Therefore, Liu Bu can see that the Liu family has come to this step. The key to the future is one point. How many benefits can they get from the Zheng family?

The property of the Zheng family is mainly controlled by Zheng Zhilong. They are the long houses of the Zheng family.

Because Zheng Zhihu, the leader of the Zheng family, died, the second room of the Zheng family is now standing aside. They can get less things and share less things. However, Zheng Zhibao, the third room, is the most important assistant of Zheng Zhilong and the leader of the Zheng family. He should have a lot of harvest. Liu Bu can see that as long as he can hold this thigh tightly, They can get a lot of benefits.

The Zheng family has a Navy even stronger than the state, but this navy can be tied with the Dutch. Although the Dutch can transfer few fleets to the East, it also shows that their Zheng family is powerful. Now the Zheng family Navy is in a peak state. It is said that he is in charge of the waters from the south of the Strait of Malacca to Japan, All ships passing through here have to pay protection fees to them. If they don't, they will be sunk by them. How arrogant it is. The jurisdiction seems to be bigger than the Republic navy of later generations. With such a powerful force, it's no wonder that Liu Yuanqiao can't sit still and let his son die in person.

Liu Bu knows these problems very well because he gradually intervenes in the family affairs. He also understands the huge interests. This is also one reason why everyone advocates their alliance, because the Zheng family is too strong. If he can get in touch with them, it would be great. Liu Bu is still thinking about it, That is, if they completely control the land of Jiaodong Peninsula and they can have a strong navy, they can attack JianNu across the sea and teach them how to be human.

After seeing these powerful relationships clearly, Liu bu also knew the great significance of their alliance with the Zheng family, so he began to be very interested in this matter. Originally, he was a little confused because he hadn't touched a woman in these days. He wanted to send someone to call his Yuanyuan girl to ensure the quality of his private life.

But now he still found one thing, that is, he went all out to get rid of Miss Zheng. As long as he got rid of Miss Zheng, he would really have enough to eat and drink. He had thought that he would train more soldiers, make military achievements, win the appreciation of the imperial court, be promoted to a bigger official and take charge of a bigger place. In fact, he now found that his best way is to get his future wife. As long as he gets her, he will get everything he should get.

Thousands of miles for an official is only for wealth. Since you can get wealth without going thousands of miles for an official, why go thousands of miles?

So Liu Bu became more attentive to him. After he and Zheng zining walked around the city for a few times, they thought they didn't have a head. He asked Zheng Zilin to teach him martial arts.

Zheng zining was very surprised. He said, "I'll teach you martial arts."

Liu Bu said to him, "I saw you practicing swords in the morning, and seven bodyguards were practicing with you. They were beaten and defeated by you. I envy you very much. Can you teach me? But I will not ask you to be a master in advance, because if we sleep together after we get married, I will call you a master. It seems to be a bit of incest."

Zheng zining felt that the other party's ideas were a little wild. Later, he said that he was so ashamed of incest. Her face was red. She said, "you didn't learn before. Why do you learn this now?"

Liu Bu said to him, "learning martial arts must make you stronger and healthier. It's also good for you, isn't it?"

His last sentence was a pun. Zheng zining couldn't hear it. He said, "you want to learn martial arts. Why don't you learn from your uncle."
