Yang Liuli's name is in the south of the Yangtze River, especially among the literati and poets. It is really well known to everyone. Even these officials admire him quite much.

However, there are very few people who can see her face on weekdays. I never thought that in order to welcome Chu Yi, this famous Liuli girl from Jiangnan actually invited her to dance herself.

Yang Liuli stepped forward with a lotus step, bowed and said crisply: "Liuli has seen you all!"

Chu Yi sat upright in the middle, high above, looking down at Yang Liuli in full dress, looking very calm. His eyes swept over Yang Liuli, and he nodded slightly.

Xu Qi, the Duke of Wei, who was sitting aside, noticed Chu Yi's expression change, stroked his beard and smiled: "Today, Miss Liuli is offering a dance song for everyone."

Yang Liuli bowed slightly and said, "This is Liuli's honor!"

As he spoke, he could hear the melodious sound of the piano flowing, and the sounds of various musical instruments gradually came. Yang Liuli's body danced with the melodious sound, sometimes like orchids in the valley, sometimes like a graceful geese. Everyone in the field was so fascinated by Yang Liuli's graceful dance posture.

After the song, Yang Liuli's delicate cheeks were slightly flushed, her chest was slightly undulating due to breathing, and her forehead was even more delicate beads of sweat. Her temperament suddenly changed, and she actually felt a little more charming.

When everyone was so overwhelmed by Yang Liuli's glory, a calm voice could be heard in the quiet hall: "Not bad!"

"Ba, bha!"

I saw Chu Yi's expression with a little appreciation, and he looked at Yang Liuli after dancing and applauded.

The others reacted suddenly and quickly followed Chu Yi to applaud.

Xu Qi stroked his beard and smiled at Yang Liuli, "Miss Liuli's song is much more amazing than the song in my mansion. Could it be that this is Miss Liuli's real ability? Today's blessing for the steward, we are feasting our eyes!"

When the officials around him heard this, the nobles were stunned at first, looked at Yang Liuli, and then at Chu Yi, and couldn't help but chuckled.

Yang Liuli showed a hint of shyness on her face, and she bowed and said, "Don't make fun of Liuli, as Liuli is just performing her skills on the spot, so she has made some breakthroughs in her skills!"

Xu Qiu looked at Yang Liuli's shy look and couldn't help but laugh at Chu Yi, "Supermaster, this girl is the famous Liuli girl in Jiangnan. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I heard that the Supermastermaster is well-read in poetry and books. It just so happened that Miss Liuli is also a famous talented woman in Jiangnan. I think she must have many common languages ​​with the Supermastermastermaster."

Chu Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, I never thought that Miss Liuli was actually a talented woman!"

Yang Liuli bowed and said, "The little girl has a shallow talent. How can she be regarded as a talented woman? It was because the little girl once heard from Mr. Yang Shen that the governor was well-read in poetry and books, and her knowledge was beyond comparison even by many great scholars in the court."

When Chu Yi heard Yang Liuli mention Yang Shen, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes. Chu Yi could only say it was a pity for Yang Shen.

Because of Yang Tinghe, the emperor was furious and then involved the Yang family. Yang Shen, as the son of Yang Tinghe, was involved in this right and wrong, and his fate could be imagined.

Thinking about the desolate and grand song of the Yangtze River flowing eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes, Chu Yi couldn't help but sigh that Yang Shen is dead, but I'm afraid no one can make this magnificent song "Linjiangxian".

With a vague mind, Chu Yi couldn't help but say, "Oh, it turns out that Miss Liuli actually knows Yang Yongxiu!"

Yang Liuli's face showed a bit of sadness and said: "In the past, Mr. Yang once taught Liuli's poetry, but he never thought that after parting, he would be farewell forever!"

Xu Qi couldn't help but cough lightly when he heard this. Yang Liuli came back to her senses, and a little fear appeared on her face and bowed to Chu Yi and said, "Liuli has made a mistake, please forgive me!"

Why did Yang Shen die? Although the emperor issued an order to kill the entire Yang family, it was more or less related to Chu Yi. No wonder Xu Qi coughed lightly to remind Yang Liuli.

Chu Yi waved his hand and sighed, "Even if I am the governor can do anything about the matter of practicing cultivation, Yang Tinghe is suspected of treason. When the emperor was furious, it was a pity that he used the cultivation of his talent."

His eyes fell on Yang Liuli, and Chu Yi said, "Miss, don't be afraid. My governor will not be angry at others because of this matter. Moreover, my governor and the General Practice have a deep friendship. Today, the girl can still think about the General Practice, which shows that the girl is an old man."

Yang Liuli bowed and said, "Liuli thanked the governor!"

The officials and nobles around him really sweated coldly for Yang Liuli just now, for fear that Chu Yi would take his anger on Yang Liuli.

Seeing Chu Yi so generous now, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

As if he was afraid that Yang Liuli would make something wrong, Xu Qi, as half of the landlord, waved his hand to Yang Liuli and said, "Miss Liuli is tired, so why not go down and rest first."

Yang Liuli stood up, looked at Chu Yi with a look, bent over and worshiped everyone for a week, dragging the long ribbon and leaving.

Chu Yi's eyes were withdrawn from Yang Liuli, and there was something in his eyes.

Xu Qi, who was standing beside him, noticed Chu Yi's expression, and a little old smile hung on the corner of his mouth, whispered: "I have already arranged it for the governor. The governor should be able to talk to Miss Liuli at night!"

Chu Yi was stunned when he heard this. Seeing Xu Qi blinking at him, Chu Yi then realized and shook his head and said, "Old Duke, you are..."

Xu Qi stroked his beard and chuckled, "Don't say anything to the governor. Miss Liuli can be regarded as a dazzling pearl in my Jiangnan. If she can make a bed and quilt for the governor, it will be her blessing!"

As he said that, Xu Qi said to Wang Yue beside him: "Eunuch Wang is beautiful and beautiful, but he doesn't want to ask for the supervisor. Should he be punished?"

Wang Yue was slightly stunned. After reacting, he couldn't help but raise his glass to Chu Yi and said, "Our family is a cup of Mr. Jing. As the old Duke said, our family was negligent!"

Chu Yi couldn't help but curl his lips. In the Ming Dynasty, even eunuchs could marry beautiful wives and concubines. This is only known by Wang Yue.

He had vaguely felt something was wrong with Yang Liuli, so he looked at him a few more times, but he never wanted to make Xu Qi misunderstand.

The strange expression I had shown to the Liuli girl that I had accidentally revealed just now was in the eyes of old foxes like Xu Qi. Even if I really had no interest in it, the other party would probably find a way to get the Liuli girl to him.

With a little bitter smile, Chu Yi said: "The old Duke misunderstood, Chu..."

Xu Qi held the wine glass and said to Chu Yi: "The Lord, no need to explain, I understand!"

Looking at Xu Qi's face wrinkled with smiles, Chu Yi decisively gave up explaining.

The banquet dispersed, and with a bit of drunkenness, Xu Qi invited Chu Yi and Wang Yue to a quiet room and the three of them sat down.

Xu Qi drank the sobering soup, his intention faded a little, and he looked at Chu Yi and said, "The Lord of the Supervisor came to Jiangnan this time. Your Majesty sent a secret decree to me to help the Lord of the Supervisor. I wonder what the Lord of the Supervisor is doing here?"

Chu Yi really didn't know about Zhu Houzhao's secret order to Xu Qiu, but Chu Yi also understood that Zhu Houzhao was worried about his own safety.

After tasting a sip of tea, Chu Yi looked at Xu Qi and said, "But I'm not hiding it from my husband. Chu came to Nanjing this time for the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard!"

When Xu Qi heard this, he narrowed his eyes and his mind turned.

At that time, Chu Yi ordered Jiao Fang to spread his intention to set up a Maritime Bureau. In addition, Chu Yi formed a navy. His series of actions, as long as he was not a fool, he could see that Chu Yi was preparing to open the sea.

Seeing that it is not a full opening of the sea, it at least means opening of the sea. This series of actions is clearly preparing for opening of the sea.

With Xu Qi's connections, the troubles in the court are naturally beyond the reach of Xu Qi, the old Duke.

Xu Qi was not surprised when he saw Chu Yi mentioning Longjiang Bao Shipyard. In the south of the Yangtze River, the largest shipyard is Longjiang Bao Shipyard.

In the past, part of Zheng He's treasure ship was built on the coast of Fujian, and part of it was supervised by the Longjiang treasure shipyard. Although the Longjiang treasure shipyard has now declined, it is still the largest shipyard in the south of the Yangtze River and the imperial court.

Whether it was to open the sea or form a navy, ships were the basis of all this. I thought Chu Yi would do it step by step, but I never thought that Chu Yi came here for the shipyard this time.

Stroking his beard, Xu Qi nodded slowly and said, "It seems that the Supervisor does have the intention of opening a sea and communicating with trade!"

Chu Yi looked at Xu Qi and said, "I wonder what my husband thinks of Chu's move?"

Xu Qi couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "As long as it is Your Majesty's decision, I will support it with all my strength, and the Lord will think!"

He cursed the old fox in his heart, and Chu Yi looked at Wang Yue and said, "Prince, I asked you to collect information about Longjiang Treasure Shipyard before. I wonder what the prince collected?"

Even in front of Xu Qi, Chu Yi asked Wang Yue directly. Wang Yue nodded slightly and said, "When we get the news from the general manager, we have asked people to collect information from Longjiang Treasure Shipyard. After investigation, there are more than 300 craftsmen in Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, and each workshop can still operate normally, but... only..."

Seeing Wang Yue's hesitant look, Chu Yi said lightly: "If you have anything to say, please just say it bluntly!"

Wang Yue gritted his teeth and said, "Only one thing is that the wood needed for shipbuilding that Longjiang Bao Shipyard has accumulated before is short of."

Chu Yi chuckled and said, "Oh, if I remember correctly, as an official shipyard, Longjiang Bao Shipyard regularly stores a certain amount of wood every year. In recent years, the shipyard has not built many new ships. In theory, a large number of fine wood needed for shipbuilding should be accumulated."

Wang Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Feng Qing, the head of Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, told that the wood had been secretly sold to those maritime merchants by officials from all over the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, so now there are only a few hundred stones of wood in the warehouse of Longjiang Treasure Shipyard!"

With a bang, Chu Yi slapped the coffee table. Although he had expected this, he suddenly heard that there were only hundreds of stones of wood left in the huge Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, and even Chu Yi couldn't help but feel a little angry.

Xu Qi coughed lightly and said, "Stop the lord, it is not worth getting angry for a group of corrupt people. I think the prince has already given them the lord!"

Wang Yue took a deep breath and said, "Our family has taken their confession, beheaded all the more than ten officials of the Longjiang Bao Shipyard involved and sent people to seal all the inventory of the Longjiang Bao Shipyard."

Shipbuilding requires more than just wood. It involves all aspects and requires a lot of materials, such as raw lacquer, pig iron, linen, etc.

After waving his hand, Chu Yi nodded and said, "What are the situations of those craftsmen? If this governor can transfer the materials needed for shipbuilding, can these craftsmen start to build large ships?"

Wang Yue hurriedly said, "The Lord of the Supervisor can rest assured that these craftsmen are all old craftsmen with superb skills. Fortunately, the officials dare not sell these old craftsmen."

Chu Yi didn't know if he should be angry or grateful if he was left in such a large shipyard.

If nothing unexpected happens, after the officials hollowed out the huge treasure shipyard, they would probably put their ideas on these old craftsmen.

By that time, these old craftsmen may become objects in the eyes of officials that can be used for gold, silver and wealth.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Chu Yi glanced at Wang Yue and said, "Longjiang Treasure Shipyard is related to our governor's next plan, which is extremely important, so please pay more attention to everything."

Wang Yue said sharply: "Even if you don't worry, if you have me, Wang Yue, you will definitely be optimistic about the Longjiang Treasure Shipyard and build treasure ships for the Supervisor."

Chu Yi nodded, his eyes fell on Xu Qi and said, "The old Duke is in charge of Nanjing City and Longjiang Treasure Shipyard, but the old Duke also needs to take care of him."

Xu Qi chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the Lord, this is my duty!"

Regarding the matter of Longjiang Shipyard, Chu Yi reminded Wang Yue again, and then returned to the place where Wang Yue prepared for him.

Spring and Autumn Villa

Chu Yi came down from the sedan chair. At the same time, Wang Yue and Wei Duke Xu Qi also came out of the sedan chair. Wang Yue smiled and said, "Master, this is the place we specially selected for the Master. It is bordered by the Qinhuai River and is a villa with excellent scenery in Nanjing."

Just looking at this exquisite villa, you will know that Wang Yue is really attentive, and you don’t know who the original owner of the villa was. However, as the eunuch who has the most say in Nanjing except Duke of Wei, Wang Yue spoke, but I am afraid that few people dared to resist.

Wang Yue looked at the villa and bowed, "The supervisor was exhausted, but it was time to rest."

Xu Qi, Duke of Wei, smiled strangely and said to Chu Yi: "I have prepared a gift for the governor and sent someone to the other courtyard. I don't know if I can give the governor a surprise!"
