Seeing Zheng Zhibao's strange gaze, Zhou Kui came to his senses.

Looks like it's really in Taiwan.

He looked back at the ship he had made.

so fast.

"General Zheng! It's a pleasure to meet you!" Coming to someone else's territory, Zhou Kui didn't dare to put on airs, and bowed his hands in salute.Before he came, he inquired, and this Zheng Zhibao should be Zheng Zhilong's younger brother.

"May I ask when the father-in-law left?" Zheng Zhibao asked curiously.

"The fourth day of April."

"From Tianjin?"

"Exactly!"

My mother, today is only April eleventh.

Seven days!

It takes more than 3000 miles from Tianjin to Keelung, right?Arrived in seven days?

Could it be this ship with the funnel?

Zheng Zhibao turned his attention to the Liangfu again, and looked carefully.

If it's really this speed, wouldn't it be invincible when used in sea battles?Looking at the big wheels outside the ship and the cannons on both sides of the ship, Zheng Zhibao thought to himself.

"General Zheng, Your Majesty asked me to go to a place called Zhuqian. Is it far from here? Can you send a guide?" Seeing Zheng Zhibao in a daze, Zhou Kui was a little amused.

"It's not far, just over 100 miles. But the traffic is not very convenient, and it takes two days to arrive. How about this, the father-in-law can stay in the port for a day, so that I can do my best as a landlord. Tomorrow morning, I will Send a guide to go to Zhuceng with the father-in-law."

Zhou Kui was a little hesitant. After so many days on the boat, he really needed to rest.

Looking back at the listless crowd, Zhou Kui nodded in agreement.

Anyway, as for the matter of the saltworks, it doesn't matter if it's early or late.

Zheng Zhibao ordered people to receive the seeds on the ship, and then arranged accommodation for Zhou Kui and others.

"Master, if the salt field in Taiwan is built, can we open a store and sell it?" After settling down, Yu Nu found Zhou Kui.

Zhou Kui stared at Yu Nu for a while, and didn't speak until he saw that he was uncomfortable.

"Yu Nu, I know why Xiao Quan asked you to follow me, but if you still don't know your position by now, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave here alive. You should weigh it carefully. Don't Say I didn't give you a chance."

"Master, do you know all about it?"

"Haha, I, Zhou Kui, like women, but it doesn't mean I will be led by the nose. Let's make a bet, Xiao Quan can't beat me. The whole salt merchants in Yangzhou can't do it together!"

Yu Nu was silent.He didn't know where Zhou Kui's confidence came from.

"Go back, if you think it through clearly, we will set off together tomorrow. If you don't think clearly, hehe."

Zhou Kui dismissed Yu Nu with a wave of his hand, and drank tea comfortably on the chair.

He doesn't need to worry about Yu Nu's affairs at all, Zhou Hao will kill her immediately if she makes a slight move.

In the evening, Zhou Kui accepted Zheng Zhibao's banquet.

During the dinner, Zheng Zhibao asked Zhou Kui curiously:

"My father-in-law, when did my Ming Dynasty have such a sharp warship? And it doesn't require manpower."

He couldn't help being curious and went to the boat to have a look, which opened his eyes.But the most core power part, the person in charge on the ship didn't let him see it.Said it was the rules set by His Majesty.He has been floating on the sea all year round, so he is well-informed, and he has seen all kinds of ships.As far as he knew, if Daming hadn't recruited his elder brother, how could he have any maritime military power to speak of.But at this time, he quietly produced such a fast warship, which made him unable to express his feelings.

"General Zheng, I don't know about this. It's also my first time on this ship."

"It's true. I just don't understand. It doesn't need manpower to sail the boat. Can the boat run with sails alone?"

"Haha, General Zheng, it's all about craftsmen. It's normal for us big bosses not to understand. Come! Drink! This is the Maozi I brought from Beijing, and it's worth a few dozen taels of silver!"

Zhou Kui laughed and changed the subject.

He saw the slight pause in Zhou Hao's movements when he was serving dishes.

This kid is real, don't inquire about what you shouldn't.

A meal was a feast for the host and guests. On the second day, Zheng Zhibao sent a guide to take Zhou Kui and his party to Zhuceng, and he sent someone to report what he had seen and heard to his elder brother.

two days later

Zhou Kui and his party came to the seaside of Zhuchi, looking at the endless sea and stepping on the soft sand.

shocked.

"There is nothing in the house?" Zhou Kui asked the guide in a daze.

"Tomorrow the craftsmen who build the house will arrive."

"Where will you stay that night?"

"You can live in a tent."

......

Zheng Zhilong in Tainan also received a letter from Zheng Zhibao.

A new type of warship?Depart from Tianjin and arrive in seven days?Still don't need manpower?

Zheng Zhilong was stunned.

He knew that it was impossible for Zheng Zhibao to lie to himself, which meant that everything was true.

To appease himself, he knew that His Majesty intends to expand sea power.

To comfort Liu Xiang, he knew that His Majesty was balancing the forces on the sea.

It seems that His Majesty finally has his own big killer.

Such a warship is invincible at sea.

For a moment, a terrible idea popped into Zheng Zhilong's mind.Could it be that, Your Majesty, all the birds are hidden?

But then a man arrives to shatter his doubts.To be exact, it was an eunuch, an eunuch that Zhou Kui didn't even know.

"Zheng Bing, accept the order!"

Zheng Zhilong knelt in doubt and listened to the eunuch's reading, his mind was buzzing.

I, Uncle Tainan! ?

I'm knighted! ?

Zheng Zhilong couldn't be more surprised, okay, okay!His Majesty is not going to boil the dog anymore.

The eunuch also brought another oral order.He ordered Wu to return to Beijing with the boat.

So Wu Youke, who had been on the island for more than a year, took his apprentice Xu Yanru on board the ship back to Beijing.

And Zhou Kui lived on the island.Step on the beach, watch the waves, and blow the sea breeze.

At this time, Nanjing City.

Li Jinbo, the person in charge of Global Commerce, is recruiting construction craftsmen.

This is His Majesty's order to choose a site outside Nanjing to build a factory.

Set up factories.

Silk reeling factory, weaving factory.

After Li Jinbo received the order, he began to select a site outside the city, and finally selected [-] mu of land in Huangzhuang, Nanjing, and recruited craftsmen to start construction.

In the past few years, he has been stationed in Nanjing, and Li Jinbo is considered a celebrity.Everyone knows that he has a profound background, and all those who tried to find trouble with him have returned in disgrace.

It wasn't until one day that Li Jinbo became the guest of Wei Guogong Xu Hongji that everyone realized that this person is really not simple.

So no one dared to feel uncomfortable anymore.

As soon as he started work here, people began to inquire about the news.

What kind of factory was built in the enclosure?What needs to be produced on such a large scale?

Li Jinbo is very strict, no one will tell anyone.But people are like this, the more others don't talk about him, the more curious he becomes.

In the end, I don't know who used the relationship, invited Wei Guogong, and invited Li Jinbo to the house as a guest.

Li Jinbo is naturally not easy to refuse,

Go to the house alone to have a banquet.

Unlike what he had imagined, Xu Hongji invited him alone.

"Grandfather has something to tell the villain, why bother mobilizing people so much?"

As soon as they met each other, Li Jinbo smiled at Xu Hongji.

"Treasurer Li is so busy, most people are not qualified to meet him. If I don't send someone to invite me, how can I meet the shopkeeper Li?"

Xu Hongji joked with a smile while guiding Li Jinbo to sit down.

The two are already quite familiar with each other. He was a member of Universal Premium when Universal Premium didn't open a branch in Nanjing.

Later, he was also the biggest benefactor of Universal Premium Nanjing flagship store.

When Global Trading arrived in Nanjing, Xu Yingyuan specifically found him and asked him to take care of him.Xu Hongji felt that it was not easy, so he inquired secretly many times, and vaguely knew the twists and turns.

"Haha, my lord, don't embarrass me because of the villain. I'm so busy all day that I'm dizzy, and others don't know, so my lord doesn't know?"

"I know you're busy. Tell me, what big move is going to be made after enclosing hundreds of acres of land?"

"This, my father-in-law, forgive me. You must not open your mouth about this matter."

"So important?"

"Very important."

After speaking, Li Jinbo stretched out his hand and pointed upwards.

Seeing this, Xu Hongji immediately changed the subject and started chatting about the recent products of Universal Premium.When it comes to the orders from above, he knows that he can't intervene.

Although they guarded Nanjing for generations in Duke Wei's Mansion, in terms of political sensitivity, they were never inferior to any honorable man in the capital.In the past few years, the wind direction in the court has turned sharply, and it will definitely be a situation where the master is strong and the minister is weak for a long time to come, so he has to be more cautious.As for Li Jinbo's arrival, he vaguely guessed that it was a layout of His Majesty.

Li Jinbo didn't seem to say anything, but he actually said everything.

The big move at this time is probably related to the activity of global business in Jiangnan in recent years.

As long as you wait and see the changes and respond immediately, you will not suffer.

After figuring out this joint, Xu Hongji was relieved.

"Go to play on the Qinhuai River after dinner?"

"Then it will cost the father-in-law again."

"You!"

"Haha~"

The two smiled at each other.

After dinner, the two of them came to the Qinhuai River in a carriage. Xu Hongji had his own building boat, and the servants had already arranged wine, food and singers in advance.The two of them were enjoying the night breeze on the boat, drinking some wine, watching the night scene, and listening to a little song. They were very comfortable.

Until an uninvited guest broke the coziness.

"My lord, someone is asking to see you outside."

"who?"

"Huating Xu family, Xu Fuyuan."
