The salt works were in operation for more than half a year, and they were very profitable, and most of the money was used to build ships.

Guo Wenying asked people to pull the place where they practiced the navy to the seaside, which was not too far from the Beiyu Ship Yard, and they were practicing at sea nearby.

Xu Hai was very happy about this, he had previously mentioned pulling the training ground to the sea, but Feng Jingting had a lot of scruples, afraid of violating the sea ban and being impeached, so he didn't dare to respond for a while.

However, Guo Wenying doesn't have so many scruples, she doesn't want to be promoted, she doesn't want to get rich, and even now this commander doesn't want to do it anymore. The rich are afraid of the poor, the poor are afraid of the horizontal, and the fight is afraid of dying, she wants nothing, she only wants to maintain the situation in the southeast and defeat Jiang Taiping, and she is naturally more unscrupulous than Feng Jingting.

In fact, there are many things, Feng Jingting thought of it, but because of his identity, he always can't implement it, but Guo Wenying is different, she has long thought that she will find a chance to escape after this battle, whether she is scolded, or impeached by the people in the court, she doesn't care at all. Whoever wants to provoke her, she will dare to do anything.

What is the next sea, when Guo Ye cleans up Jiang Taiping, he still wants to go to the ocean to fight the Japanese invaders.

Xu Hai was in charge of the training of the navy, and Xu Heng was in charge of the army training, and the brothers were very dedicated, and for a time the military discipline of the New Southern Army was strict and the training was hard, and there was no time to think about some crooked evil, but it was unprecedented unity.

Guo Wenying put these two things in order, and then opened a small ordnance department in the shipyard, used the 200,000 taels of silver left by Feng Jingting for her, and began to build large warships, artillery, and firearms.

Since Feng Jingting gave this money, she didn't want to put it in vain, it was useless for her to ask for so much money, and she didn't want to take his things for herself, so it was better to use it all to build an army.

Jiang Taiping is not an honest person, it is said that he is also stepping up the manufacture of weapons, and has also hired capable people to build ships, his ships are all parked in the port, and from time to time they are also pulled out to the sea for training, and look at the meaning, it seems that he is going to fight a naval battle with the New Southern Army.

Guo Wenying expected that his mind was not pure, and discussed with Lu Qifang to increase the number of naval forces, and then improve and replace the original ships in a large direction, and the weapons made in the new weapons department were half supplied to the army, and most of them were all equipped for the naval army.

Lu Qifang agreed very much, and said with a smile: "Wen Ying, you still say that you can't do it, the old man sees that you have a good plan, even if the prince is here, and you don't have the courage to go to sea, you actually dare to go to the sea." ”

Guo Wenying smiled, "The prince has a lot of concerns, how can he be like me as a savage, if something happens, he will take his life, but he can deal with Jiang Taiping with one mind." ”

Lu Qifang nodded and said: "This is true, if you change others, you have many worries, and you can't let go, but you are not as bold as you." ”

Guo Wenying hurriedly said: "With Mr. Lu here, I am bold, if it is just me, I would not dare to do this." ”

Lu Qifang, who was slapping this sycophant, couldn't help but smile at his beard, and secretly said that he really didn't see the wrong person, this girl is a good material for a leader, and she can be open at critical moments, the more she looks at it, the more satisfied she becomes. Jiang Taiping hunts geese all day long, maybe in the end he really asked this little girl to kill him.

According to their arrangement, everything is in full swing.

In December, news came from Beijing that Prince Duan and Princess Duan were dead, the prince's palace mourned, and Feng Jingting was stranded in Kyoto for funerals. At this time, the 30,000 horses led by Lu Huaidong were gradually approaching the capital. They didn't dare to go too fast, so they stopped and walked all the way, stopping and stopping, and while suppressing bandits along the way, they paid attention to the situation of all parties.

Compared with the tension in the atmosphere in Beijing, the southeast side is quite peaceful, at least maintaining a superficial peace. When he returned to Beijing this time, Xu Mao didn't go back with him, and Feng Jingting took away Lu Huaidong and Lu Weixin, and almost all of his team members were left to her. She also moved to live in Qincha Xingyuan, as if she had completely taken over Feng Jingting's position.

Although many people are not satisfied with the fact that she has become a messenger, she herself has a high official position, and she is just acting for the affairs of the envoy, and no one can find fault with it, so she has to acquiesce.

In the past few days, Jiang Taiping has posted twice to invite her, but Guo Wenying politely refused on the grounds of 'can't leave if there is something', at this time she doesn't want to have any contact with Jiang Taiping, let alone give him a chance to attack herself, so there is no need, and she will never come to him.

There are also many officials in the three southeastern provinces who ask to see her, including Fu Dongping, the third old man of the Fu family, Guo Wenying didn't even see her, it's not that she doesn't want to have a good relationship with the officials in the southeast, but now it's better to have more than one thing, she is not Feng Jingting, and the things of the false and the snake can't be done so perfectly.

She devoted herself to shipbuilding and military training, and from time to time she went to the salt field to see the current situation, and her life was full and stable.

The salt factory operated by Xu Mao has gained a lot in the past six months, and in addition to being able to supply the royal government's expenses, a lot of military expenses are also derived from it. In the past six months, Xu Mao has opened several new large salt farms, with excellent salt making technology, a wide variety of varieties, coupled with unique mixers and mixing technology, the salt produced in the salt field is better than the same salt farm, and the selling price is not very high.

It's just that the sale of salt has always been controlled by the imperial court, how much salt leads to how much salt, and there is not a lot of salt in Feng Jingting's hand, and the sales are limited for a while, and it is not easy to open the market.

Now that Feng Jingting is gone, Guo Wenying took out all the salt guides that Fang Yuntang gave her, and asked Xu Mao to transport a batch of salt to sell on her behalf, and planned to keep part of the money earned, and use the rest to make weapons.

Although Xu Mao was suspicious of where her salt citation came from, she was a confidant of the prince, so she didn't dare to ask more, not to mention that the money was useless elsewhere, so she tried her best to do things for her.

In fact, Guo Wenying is not selfless, she also wants to make some money and keep it for later use, but she can't ask for the money Feng Jingting gave her, so she puts her mind on salt. The salt is Feng Jingting, and the salt is Fang Yuntang's, she didn't have a penny, so she made 100,000 taels, 50,000 yuan was invested in the ordnance department, and the other 50,000 yuan was put into her own pocket.

She asked her henchmen Zhang Qiang and Pi Xiaosan to quietly bring back to Beijing together with the 50,000 taels of silver tickets, together with the jewels that they had collected last time to encircle and suppress the Japanese invaders, and handed them over to the nurse Xu, so that the nurse could buy a house and land in Beijing. With these things, they will not have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives, and it doesn't matter if they are officials in the future.

Although Zhang Qiang and Pi Xiaosan are the personal guards given to her by the prince, they have lived and died together over the years, and they are more loyal to her than Feng Jingting, and they will not run to tell the truth.

After doing this, Guo Wenying can be regarded as truly relieved, the nurse and the master have a life to rely on, even if she unfortunately dies in the southeast, she can be blinded.
