Chapter Seventy-Four: Building the Foundation (6)
Sure enough, it was none other than Zheng Hongkui's little daughter who invited him to speak. As far as Chen Kai is concerned, there is no need to speculate, a distance of dozens of steps, and there is only one female dependant of the Zheng family in the near future, and she is still an unmarried woman who appears in Zheng Chenggong's control area, so naturally it will not be anyone else.
"The female brother Zheng has seen Chen join the army, and I rashly asked for it, and I hope to forgive me."
Zheng Hongkui brought her daughter over, just because this little girl missed her brother Sen. However, this time, the more important purpose of his people is to cooperate with Zheng Chenggong to launch an offensive against Chaozhou Mansion, which is the most important thing. So for her daughter, she planned to send her back to Kinmen directly, but due to the recent insecurity on the road, there is no suitable boat to go back, and Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui have to focus on the war in Chaozhou, so they have to temporarily send her to the Nanao General Town Government, at least there are a large number of Zheng family's domestic slaves and maids to call.
As soon as the female brother is called, it is used to call the younger sister in ancient times, such as the sister who was dedicated to the king of Chu by Li Yuan, the prime minister of Chu, in the "Historical Records". Nowadays, there are even more connotations of female students mixed in, such as Liu Ru used the self-title of female brother when she asked to see Chen Zilong.
This little girl probably didn't know about this past, but claiming to be so obviously the next problem, and she didn't want Chen Kai to be perfunctory because of her age and identity as a woman.
"I took the liberty of inviting me today, but I really didn't understand it in my heart, and I hope that Chen Senjun can give me advice."
In the pavilion in the center of the garden, the little girl is polite and generous, and she has an excellent upbringing. This girl really subverted Chen Kai's old view of the pirate's daughter. But if you think about it carefully, it's normal, Zheng Hongkui was originally a military general who took the imperial examination route, and even if it was a pirate habit, it was a matter of the previous generation, at least when I first saw Zheng Chenggong, it was also an existence with a Confucian temperament. may have been in battle and fought, but recently this temperament has become more and more transformed, and it has begun to transform into a Confucian general.
The little girl was dressed as a Confucian student, and she dressed as a man to see Chen Kai, and here she gave a salute, Chen Kai was amused in his heart, and simply returned a salute before sitting on the stone bench in the pavilion.
"I don't dare to say the word teaching, Brother Zheng Xian, but please speak up."
Joining the army and being a virtuous brother is an exchange between scholars and doctors. The little girl smiled lightly, without powder, but also a little girl-like delicate, but the words that came out of the question still made him frown.
"The female brother is curious, she just wants to ask Chen Senjun about some details about joining the army to outwit Chaozhou."
Chen Kai answered Zheng Chenggong's question, and he has also been asked by Chen Bao, Hong Xu and even Zhu Yao recently, but he has ignored some things to varying degrees, because there are some things that there is really no need to talk about others. But the little girl in front of her, with her big watery eyes, has a power that points directly to people's hearts, which makes Chen Kai a little difficult to hide too much.
Next, the little girl began to ask Chen Kai about some things about going to Chaozhou, and Chen Kai also talked about it eloquently, until he omitted to the others about the confrontation with the staff of the Yamen of the governor of Guangdong.
The female brother once heard her cousin mention that Chen Senjun took advantage of the fact of the grain shortage in Fujian and the official documents forged by his cousin to deceive the trust of car thieves and yellow thieves, and there was no lack of Chen Senjun's wit. But how easily did you determine that this person would not be stopped by your questions? ”
This is a core question and a key question, Chen Kai did not explain it in too much detail before, Zheng Chenggong and others either understood or did not realize it at all, so they never asked. However, this little girl not only realizes it, but also puts it into words, and this is the biggest difference.
"Three things, attire, physiognomy and accent."
"Chen joined the army at that time, and he didn't think about what would happen if he guessed wrong?"
"What will happen?" Chen Kai shook his head, and then said with a smile: "I have an official document, it is difficult to kill me if the car is heavy, at most, I will send someone to Guangzhou to inquire, and even Guangzhou will send someone to Fuzhou to ask for clarification to confirm." That time was enough for me to find an opportunity to kill him. Even if you can't make it, there is always a chance to get out. ”
Chen Kai said it simply, but the little girl could still clearly feel the risks involved: "The female brother is a little puzzled, did Chen think about the risk of failure when he joined the army to make such a risky plan." ”
Hearing this question, Chen Kai was relieved, at least he succeeded and successfully rewrote history. As for the side, it doesn't matter.
"Of course, in order to win and think about defeat before you can think about everything and improve your chances of winning, that's what I did in the three months before I left. It's just that sometimes, if you don't give it a go, you will be left with a lifetime of regrets. I don't want to leave regrets, I always have to fight again, even if I fight for this life, I don't hesitate to do it! ”
Here, it has nothing to do with the self-efficacy of the proprietor, let alone loyalty to this military and political group, but only the calmness that is worthy of one's heart and the magnificent courage that tens of millions of people have been waiting for. When Chen Kai said this, he was much more relaxed, and even faintly excited.
In this way, the two looked at each other for a moment, and the little girl who originally wanted to dig something more from Chen Kai's expression suddenly blushed and lowered her small head. Just a moment later, this embarrassment was ended by a word of thanks and an excuse to say goodbye early, which caught Chen Kai off guard.
Leaving the garden, thinking back to the bits and pieces in the gazebo just now, although it was only a few words, but the feeling was unprecedented since coming to this era. Just thinking about this, a sentence of the spirit worm on the brain, plus a sentence of beast, might as well resurface in my mind. However, if you think about it the other way around, at least Chen Kai still has the desire to show his masculine charm when he was a little beauty, at least it proves that his sexual orientation is still normal, at least this year, he has not been bent by Zheng Chenggong's heroic temperament, which is a good thing.
However, when he returned to the study, Chen Kai's attention was never focused, and there were always some chaotic thoughts that popped up from time to time, making a mess of the things that had been sorted out.
"Forget it, if you're not in the state, you won't think about it. Go to bed early and talk about it tomorrow. ”
By the next day, this momentum had finally passed, and Chen Kai packed up his thoughts, both on the upper and lower levels, and quickly took into account the identity of the magistrate from the psychological positioning of the CEO of the military industrial enterprise.
According to Chen Kai's regulations, the relevant personnel involved in Nanao and Dongshan Island will go to South Australia to meet once every ten days. Of course, holding a meeting may not be able to improve work efficiency, but Chen Kai must enter a familiar rhythm so that he can better carry out his work, at least at this stage.
Regarding the development and construction of the two islands, Chen Kai had many thoughts, and he remembered hearing people mention these two places in later generations, saying that they were basically based on agriculture, fishery, and tourism, and the first two were fine, and the last one was really not possible to imitate.
According to Chen Kai's original idea, to build a new industry, relying on the new industry to drive the overall development of the local area, but after careful investigation, he found that the production level of the two islands is still very low, with the current level of science and technology, it seems that the population is the best choice to increase productivity. Because of Zheng Chenggong's expansion of the army, although some of them were brought back by Ding Zhuang from Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, there was still no way to solve the phenomenon of insufficient local strong labor. At this stage, Chen Kai can't expect any unmanned production, which is unrealistic.
"I can't catch up, so in this case, I have to find a way to attract some immigrants."
