The most powerful general in the Three Kingdoms

Pang Tong thanked Zhou Cheng and quickly withdrew.

He planned to arrange the follow-up shipbuilding matters immediately.

After all, we still need to mobilize supplies and recruit skilled craftsmen from all over.

If we want to speed up the construction of giant sea ships, we need to expand the shipbuilding workshop.

In addition, Zhou Chengxin proposed a sea-floor ship as an escort ship for giant sea-going ships.

It is also necessary to re-select the site and build a special workshop for production.

When selecting a location and building a shipbuilding workshop, it is even more necessary to consult the craftsmen for their opinions.

Therefore, Pang Tong really has a lot of things going on now.

So he immediately took a group of followers and quickly got off the boat.

The total workload of these things is too much.

It also takes a lot of time.

Pang Tong didn't dare to waste any time at this moment.

But he didn't forget to give instructions to a follower beside him.

Send someone to look after Himihu and his party.

Whatever they need is provided directly.

If it really cannot be solved within the authority.

Ask yourself again.

This follower who had been ordered by Pang Tong respectfully accepted the order and immediately left the team.

He went alone in the direction Himihu and others left.

After Pang Tong left, Zhou Cheng stayed for a while to check the situation at the port.

Learn more about the current situation.

Then he called a carriage on the roadside and asked the driver to drive directly to his residence in Beihai.

Along the way, Zhou Cheng also carefully observed the pedestrians on the street.

I saw everyone's faces filled with happy smiles.

The pace is brisk and the conversation and laughter are lively.

Zhou Cheng had asked Pang Tong about this related situation before.

Pang Tong said that due to the increase in shipbuilding workshops in Beihai.

In addition to craftsmen, it also provides many jobs.

And because giant ships from Lelang and Beihai communicate with each other.

Whether it is passengers or businessmen trading between two places.

They have also brought a large number of various jobs to Beihai.

These jobs have also greatly increased the income of some residents.

After they have more money, they can buy more food, more clothing, daily necessities, etc.

It also promoted the prosperity of Beihai, allowing traders doing business here to make more money.

Of course, Pang Tong also had some control and strictly ordered these vendors not to sell fake goods or sell them at high prices.

So what Zhou Cheng sees now is such a prosperous scene.

Zhou Cheng nodded happily.

I thought to myself that Pang Tong was indeed capable. He not only successfully recruited craftsmen and built a huge ship.

It also developed maritime trade routes and promoted the development of the North Sea.

Such a great achievement must be rewarded.

And Zhou Cheng has always treated others well.

Therefore, it was decided to promote Pang Tong's position to a higher level.

"Just appoint Shi Yuan as Qingzhou Shepherd! Take charge of all affairs of Beihai and other counties"

"This will make it much easier for him to mobilize materials, manpower, etc." So after Zhou Cheng returned to his residence, he wrote a letter in his own handwriting. Then he ordered the entourage waiting at the residence to deliver the letter to the post station. Then a dedicated person would follow the highest-level post station procedures to deliver the letter to the capital. There Naturally, there would be Zhou Cheng's subordinate civil servants who would go to Liu Xie to get the formal appointment certificate and seal ribbon for Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng did not need to take care of the rest. Someone would naturally hand over the seal ribbon and decree to Pang Tong. Presumably Pang Tong will definitely be very happy when he gets the seal, ribbon and decree. After all, this is a reward given to him after his work has been recognized by Zhou Cheng. After watching his entourage set off with the letter, Zhou Cheng had nothing to do. So he I took a good wash and had a meal. Then I lay down comfortably on the bed and had a peaceful sleep. After all, even though I had the most comfortable room on a giant sea ship during this period of time, after all, I was at sea. The waves were too big and the ship was rocking. It was definitely not as comfortable as on land. So Zhou Cheng decided to catch up on some sleep. Nothing much happened all night. Zhou Cheng slept until noon of the next day. Then he got up to clean up and wash up. Ichiban. While having a meal, he suddenly heard a report from an entourage, saying that a messenger from the station came to deliver a letter. Zhou Cheng was wondering what was going on. The entourage had already delivered the letter to Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng opened it At first glance, it turned out to be a letter sent by Yuan Yao's envoy. The letter said that Sun Ce sent Zhou Tai, Han Dang, Zhuge Jin and others to use Shouchun as a base to collect grain in the surrounding areas. And they relied on their strength. They actually set their sights on the territory where Lujiang belongs. They also requisitioned grain from the wealthy and aristocratic families that Lujiang belongs to. Of course, those wealthy and aristocratic families refused at first. But they couldn't resist Zhou Tai and others leading the attack. The ones with better luck were just They were robbed of food and grass. Those who were unlucky had their entire family wiped out. Not only were their food, grass and treasures robbed, but all the old and weak in the family were killed. The young and strong were sold into slavery. At this time, although all the wealthy families were They were dissatisfied with Yuan Yao's forced food collection before. But now they all united to ask Yuan Yao for help.
