Since it is going to expand overseas, the construction of the navy is very necessary. Without a strong navy, it will definitely not work. If merchants continue to recruit soldiers, the military power will fall into the hands of merchants and the emperor will not agree.

Han Yi's style is to take it slowly. He never said to build a navy for the sake of building a navy. Although he knew that the navy was very important, it was just his opinion. He still considered it based on the needs and current situation of the Tang Dynasty. But what he is best at is burying a seed here first and waiting for it to sprout slowly. As long as the time is ripe, the seed can bloom into a beautiful flower. Whether it is a mob or a pirate, as long as the time is ripe, he can transform into a navy.

But then again, if we follow the inertia of the Central Plains dynasty, the rulers of the Tang Dynasty should be greedy for pleasure at this time. Because the world is peaceful, there is no war outside and there is nothing to do, we should enjoy it with all our hearts. Isn’t people living for this purpose, and then slowly decay inside and eventually die.

This is the law of the Central Plains.

However, the emergence of commercial civilization seemed to inject a shot of stimulant into the Central Plains dynasty again, causing the entire country to burst out with upward momentum.

In fact, there is nothing to do about this, because everyone is working hard for wealth. If you don’t work hard, you may be left behind, which will lead to everyone being prepared for danger in times of peace. Even if you feel that you have ten thousand yuan, you are very uneasy. Qi Heli and the others have money, but the problem is that there are too many rich people in the world, and they cannot relax. They also want to get more. Moreover, they have subordinates. The middle-level generals are eager for this kind of war, and the acres of land in front of their homes cannot meet their utmost. Now the cost of living is increasing. In the past, there are no need to buy books for their children. Now that they don’t buy a few books on "Fairy Tales in White", the father can’t stand it. If they fight this kind of war, they will get military merits and benefits, and the fool will not fight.

Even if they were all like this, then the merchants would need to say more. Yuwen Xiumi and the others seemed very active in forming a group with the Yuan family.

Not to mention the wealth and manpower on the island, once the war begins, it will be consumed in large quantities. This is entirely initiated by merchants. It is not traditional wars, and it is not the same as the court. It can be produced by itself and has nothing to do with the people. They can only buy those consumables. For merchants, this is a great thing.

Dou Heng, Zou Fengchi and others were all very enthusiastic about participating. If you go to sea to fight, you have to build a ship and our business is good. Moreover, if you fight, they can also get the wood on the island. Although there is a lot of wood in the middle, if you want to cut it, there will be more troubles. Because the ancients believed in Feng Shui, they could not cut it randomly, and the price was relatively expensive, because they had to pay taxes, and the court did not cancel the Shanze Tax.

Soon, the wealthy businessmen in Luoyang and Chang'an formed a "Nanhai Group" headed by the Yuan family.

Originally, I wanted to call it the Datang Group, but the ministers in the court refused to agree. You businessmen, don’t ruin the reputation of the Datang. Han Yi also knew the profound meaning behind this group, which was indeed not suitable. In the end, they decided to call it the Nanhai Group.

This is just the first step, because you have to form a group first to go to other places to raise funds. It is impossible to say that just sending one person to raise funds will not believe you. The next step of financing is to go to Jiangnan. They don’t want to make wedding dresses for Jiangnan merchants. Jiangnan is closer to the South China Sea. After they take over, Jiangnan merchants will definitely go, so they can just pull these people in in advance.

Although Han Yi did not come forward directly to preside over the affairs of the Nanhai Group, he has been secretly supporting him. He has been in the Military Academy these days and has held secret meetings with Li Jingye, Qi Ming and others. In addition to him, Li Ji, Xue Rengui and others have also participated. It is a very professional meeting, from recruitment to login, to control, every detail is being studied.

Although the court said it very easily and asked the merchants to do it themselves, in fact, no one was relieved. If you have money in war, you must have professionals. Therefore, this group of students is not only responsible for recruitment, but also responsible for many things, including going to sea to fight.

Moreover, it is most appropriate for these students to go there, because in the eyes of the people, they have not become generals of the Tang Dynasty and do not have any prestige. They are just a group of playboys, so it is not considered as the country's military service. But they already have a lot of experience. To be honest, they have graduated long ago. That crisis is their graduation exam, and they have also completed it very well.

In the evening, the sun sets.

Xiao Wuyi returned to Xiao Mansion in a carriage. From this year on, she has been going home almost every day. This is because the businessmen have felt the lack of productivity, which has led to more businessmen willing to wave to women to work. Xiao Wuyi held this power tightly in her hands early in the morning. You businessmen must pass through the Women's Federation Bureau to recruit female workers. She can speak to the businessmen on behalf of women. You cannot treat women too badly.

"Princess, you are back!"

The doorman quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Xiao Wuyi nodded and asked, "Is the son-in-law back?"

The doorman said, "My son-in-law came back early in the morning."

"Yeah?"

Xiao Wuyi was stunned for a moment and muttered to herself, "Has he been very busy recently?" But she didn't ask any more questions. When she entered the mansion, she found that there was no one in the hall, so she went to her yard again.

"Husband, husband."

When he arrived in the yard, Xiao Wuyi shouted twice first, and saw that no one answered, he muttered: "Where is this person going?"

When Xiao Wuyi pushed open the door, he couldn't help but be stunned. He saw two very exquisite black leather bags on the couch, one big and one small, with snow-white fur decorations on the large bag, with a faint metallic luster inside.

A look of surprise flashed in Xiao Wuyi's eyes. He quickly walked into the house, picked up a big bag, looked at it carefully, and saw that the buttons were made of pure gold, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's so beautiful!"

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly heard a song sounding outside the door, "You ask me how deeply I love you..."

Xiao Wuyi suddenly looked back and saw a man holding the edge of the door with one hand and holding flowers with the other, singing in his mouth, with deep affection in his eyes.

Who is it not Han Yi?

Xiao Wuyi opened her phoenix eyes and was as stupid as a chicken. After passing a little, the corners of her mouth twitched a few times and immediately pursed her lips tightly.

“……The moon represents my heart.”

Han Yi walked into the house while singing. After singing, the intoxicating look on his face gradually faded away after a while, and he smiled and said, "Are you surprised?"

"puff!"

Xiao Wuyi's lips opened slightly, and she couldn't help it. She laughed out loud, and then she burst into laughter, laughing back and forth.

It's embarrassing!

Han Yi was stunned for a moment, then said depressedly: "Madam, I have prepared for so long, not to get your ridiculous laughter."

"Sorry, I don't laugh... Haha... No, no, I really can't help it. You can wait a little longer and let me laugh for a while."

Xiao Wuyi bent over, supported himself with one hand, and swayed with the other hand, laughing so hard that tears were almost coming out.

Sister Wuyi, who has always been straightforward, can’t bear it?

Han Yi held the flower, tears flashing in his eyes, waiting quietly. The more embarrassed it would be.

After a while, Xiao Wuyi calmed down and patted her chest and said, "I was so happy that I couldn't breathe."

Han Yi said anxiously: "Is that so? I'll help you rub it."

"go!"

Xiao Wuyi mercilessly patted the claws that stretched out An Lushan.

Han Yi retracted his hand in depression, handed the flower over again, sighed, "The atmosphere will be destroyed by you."

Xiao Wuyi took the flower and couldn't help laughing again, saying, "But you can't blame me for this, who made you so funny."

"Funny?" Han Yi opened his eyes and said excitedly: "Shouldn't it be romantic?"

"Um...."

Xiao Wuyi shook her beautiful eyes.

"Um?"

Han Yi said: "I dare to ask, what do you mean?"

"It means 'yes'."

Xiao Wuyi's eyes were floating around, and the corners of her mouth were still twitching slightly.

This woman! Han Yi looked at her expression and felt angry. She was just full of love. She smiled helplessly, stepped forward and hugged her gently, glanced at the flowers and leather bags in her hand, and asked with a smile: "Do you like it?"

Xiao Wuyi giggled and said, "I like the song you sang just now."

"I really have vision." Han Yi said: "This was created by me for you personally. It is called the moon representing my heart, and every sentence comes from the heart."

"Is that so funny!"

Xiao Wuyi giggled again.

Han Yi said laughing and cryingly: "How come such touching lyrics become funny."

"Because..." As soon as he said that, Xiao Wuyi couldn't help but think of Han Yi's intoxicated expression just now, and couldn't help laughing.

Xiaoxiao, I'll make you laugh! Han Yi suddenly kissed her red lips directly.

Xiao Wuyi opened her eyes and laughter stopped suddenly. After struggling for a moment, she responded shyly.

After a long time, Han Yi was willing to let her go and said proudly: "Look at whether you still laugh."

Xiao Wuyi's cheeks flushed, she gave him a charming look and asked, "Today is not my birthday, why do you want to give me a gift?"

Han Yi said: "Who stipulates that only a birthday can give gifts? This is a kind of catharsis of love. Love for you has begun to overflow. Then I must vent it, otherwise I will be suffocated to death by being loved by you."

"Good mouth and smooth tongue."

Xiao Wuyi gave him a blank look, but his eyes were full of happiness. Then he walked to the couch and sat down, smiling and said, "Isn't there really anything you ask me for?"

"I knew you would say this." Han Yi sighed and waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it, just think you are lucky today and pick up two bags! Alas... I send romance to Mingyue, and Mingyue hurts my heart!"

As he said that, he sighed heavily again, fell down, lay on the couch, picked up a fruit and started to eat it in big mouthfuls.

Xiao Wuyi glanced at him secretly, and Han Yi immediately glanced at the side arrogantly.

Xiao Wuyi said angrily: "You are not so stingy, are you just talking casually."

"snort!"

Han Yi looked arrogant and ignored her.

Xiao Wuyi's eyes turned and suddenly stretched slightly, "I'm so tired today. It seems I'm going to take a bath later." As she said that, she looked at Han Yi again, imitating Han Yi's tone, "Why should we go together?"

Han Yi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly sat up, held her with one hand, and said, "The princess said one thing, it's hard to chase eight horses."

Virtue! Xiao Wuyi first glanced at him hard, then leaned slightly in his arms, touched the bag, and said with a little touching expression: "Actually, as long as it was given to you, I like it."

Han Yi said: "Is this just right?"

Xiao Wuyi smiled but said nothing.

Han Yi said again: "Do you know, I've been working on a pack for ten years!"

"A pack of it in ten years?"

Xiao Wuyi was stunned.

Han Yi nodded and said, "This is what I designed for you personally. Every detail in it is devoted to my love for you and it takes me a whole decade of energy."

Xiao Wuyi felt as if he had mist, but said, "Is it true or false?"

Han Yi said: "Really, your two bags are unique in this world. You can definitely take them out and show off. Uh... it means to show off."

Xiao Wuyi snorted: "I don't care about what's going on in the limelight."

Han Yi said: "That's it, that's it, the wife has always been noble and regards fame and fortune as a cloud."

Xiao Wuyi gave him a blank look and asked again: "Where is Sister Mudan and Feixue?"
