As soon as Yang Huai finished speaking, the impetuous young man walked up to Xie Nanxing while Mo Ping was half-resisting and half-blocking him.

After looking at Xie Nanxing for a long time across the round table, Han Zhou walked past the servants, picked up Xie Nanxing by the waist, and started throwing him up.

"Hahaha." Han Zhou laughed and shouted happily: "Xie Nanxing you are finally back, Xie Nanxing you are finally back."

The servants in the room were stunned when they saw Han Zhou's actions, and then they circled around Han Zhou, fearing that Han Zhou would make Xie Nanxing fall.

Xie Nanxing held the dumpling in his mouth, not daring to swallow it, nor spit it out. He felt a little scared because of the constant tossing.

Lu Bai strode into the room, kicked Han Zhou back several steps, and steadily caught Xie Nanxing and put him on the stool.

Xiao Gao hurriedly poured hot water for Xie Nanxing, while Yang Huai gently patted Xie Nanxing's back to help him calm down.

The originally peaceful lunch turned into chaos due to Han Zhou's arrival.

Xie Nanxing swallowed the dumplings in his mouth, looked at Han Zhou speechlessly, and asked: "Han Zhou, are you sick?"

Lu Bai's kick used quite a bit of force, but Han Zhou didn't feel anything. He patted his chest and touched his head, looking a bit silly.

"Xie Nanxing, I'm so happy. I'll be more careful next time."

Han Zhou had just finished saying this when everyone in the room looked at him warily, especially Mo Ping.

If they didn't stop Han Zhou from hugging them today, they wouldn't know how Shen Jinmo would deal with them when he came back later.

But no one expected that Han Zhou would be so crazy.

At the same time, Fu Xi, followed by a dozen servants, appeared in front of Xie Nanxing, carrying a bunch of gifts.

Han Zhou didn't care about the strange looks from these people, and pointed directly at the pile of gifts and said:

"Xie Nanxing, these are gifts to celebrate your new home. If you don't like them, I'll buy you new ones."

Xie Nanxing finished drinking the medicine, then personally opened the brocade boxes piled on the table, exclaiming in admiration for a long time.

He felt like the poor boy who had suddenly become a nouveau riche.

"Han Zhou, did you spend all the money you saved from marrying a wife on buying me a gift?"

"I can't accept it if you're like this."

Otherwise, Shen Jinmo would be jealous enough for his whole life.

Han Zhou took the tea that Yang Huai made for him and said:

"Xie Nanxing, the Zhongqin Marquis's Mansion is a family that accompanied the late emperor in building his empire, and has never been poor. It's just that my father said that if a boy has too much money, it will easily ruin the family tradition, so he doesn't give me money to spend."

After asking Mo Ping to put the gifts into the warehouse, Xie Nanxing took Han Zhou into the study.

Lu Bai stood guard at the door of the study, holding a sword. He looked directly in the direction where the treetops were swaying slightly and subconsciously rolled his eyes.

He actually dared to spy on his master's residence at this time. Fortunately, his master has no achievements now, otherwise this man would have died quietly.

Out of sight, out of mind, Lu Bai chose to close his eyes.

Yang Huai poured hot tea for the two of them, then closed the study door, stood outside the room leaning against the door, and kept rubbing his sore waist.

Last night, I was really too indulgent.

Next time, I must not be so indulgent to Suiyi.

"Now that you have the autonomy of silver, do you have more freedom in other areas?"

"Yes." Han Zhou nodded heavily, with a smile on his face. "My father hired a tutor to be my master. He really performed the apprenticeship ceremony."

"Not only do I have a comradeship with you, but I am also a fellow apprentice with Lord Shen."

Xie Nanxing was really happy for Han Zhou. This was the best news he had heard in Luoan in more than a year.

In order to get Marquis Zhongqin to agree, both Han Zhou himself and Wu Cixiu made great efforts.

He raised the teacup in his hand and touched it with Han Zhou's, with a frank and sincere smile on his face: "Han Zhou, congratulations."

"Xie Nanxing, thank you very much."

Xie Nanxing smiled and shook his head. Han Zhou didn't need to thank him since he had come. After all, he didn't do anything for Han Zhou.

Getting up from the couch, Xie Nanxing walked to the desk, took out a brush and ink, and began to sketch on the rice paper, lowering his voice and saying:

"Han Zhou, I traveled north by water from Gusu. When I passed a port, I saw a sailboat that was several times larger than our cruise ship."

When Han Zhou heard this, he immediately stood up from the coffee table and stood opposite Xie Nanxing.

The study room fell into silence. Han Zhou looked at the outline drawn by Xie Nanxing with a frown on his face, and the youthful spirit in his eyes became heavy.

Han Zhou lowered his voice so low that only Xie Nanxing could hear clearly: "Xie Nanxing, is this ship used for long voyages?"

"It was quite far away at the time, so I didn't see it clearly." Xie Nanxing handed the fully outlined ship to Han Zhou: "Shen Jinmo said this is a warship from the East Japan."

The words "Eastern Japan" touched the tense strings in Han Zhou's heart.

The hands holding the rice paper began to tighten, wrinkling the edges of the paper.

His voice was slightly deep, revealing weakness: "In the past ten years when our naval warfare techniques have not improved at all, the Eastern Japanese have already brought their warships to our port."

Even if Han Zhou didn't come to see Xie Nanxing today, Xie Nanxing would still find time to look for Han Zhou: "Yes, he is under the banner of a traveling merchant."

To avenge the national humiliation and the family hatred was much more difficult than Han Zhou had imagined.

He had told Xie Nanxing that someone had to guard this country.

Han Zhou will not be deterred by difficulties.

"Xie Nanxing, if my father proposed to build ships and train the navy now, would the emperor agree?"

"Han Zhou, Shen Jinmo said we will win, but we will pay a heavy price."

At that point, Han Zhou knew the answer.

In fact, he already knew the answer.

Xie Nanxing is not a person who only brings bad news. He and Han Zhoudang complement each other:

"Shen Jinmo and I are now running our own business. In order to make our lives easier, we will do some business in the future."

"After half a year, when the business situation opens up, Yang Huai will lead the caravan out to sea."

"So I hope you can use the power of your Zhongqin Marquis Mansion to help me build two sailing ships that can go out to sea. The important thing is that they must be able to travel far and be strong enough."

The Eastern Wo were testing the ship in the name of trade, so Xie Nanxing helped Han Zhou practice the ship in the name of business.

Although there is a huge gap between merchant ships and warships, a ship must first be able to cross the ocean before it can be used to fight.

A gap of ten years is difficult to bridge in a short period of time, but every bit of the gap that can be narrowed can save tens of thousands of lives.

Shen Jinmo told him these words at that time, and Xie Nanxing naturally understood Shen Jinmo's hidden expectations.

Xie Nanxing will do those things that Shen Jinmo cannot do.
