"If there is a shortage of manpower, then recruit again, first transfer the people who have been inspected from Hexi Town and Lujiazhuang to return to Liujia Village, and the newcomers will be arranged to work in these places......"

Liu Ximing's method is simple and rude, isn't there a shortage of people, then it will be recruited again.

Now that he has a knighthood, there is no longer much restraint in the place, and the Liu family can also let go of their hands to expand.

"In addition, the Dharma Research Institute has stepped up the research and development of the hydraulic control system and the cable-type grenade I mentioned earlier, and strives to be able to be on board the ship at the end of the year. At the same time, all departments of the workshop should fully cooperate with the requirements put forward by the Shipbuilding Bureau, shipbuilding is a systematic project, involving sails, ropes, and nails, which must ensure quality and quantity. ”

The so-called wire-drawn grenade was a native method that Liu Ximing came up with, and now the bottom fire is still far away, so he proposed to use red phosphorus as a method of ignition, and at the same time create friction while pulling the wire, so as to ignite the built-in fuse of the grenade.

In this way, there is no need to worry about being at sea in the future, as long as the waves do not soak the grenade waterproof layer, it will be an extra weapon in naval warfare.

Xie Changda suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier again, and at this time, he had some hope that Su Jin would come back soon.

"And the most critical thing", Liu Ximing looked at Yu Yongkai and the others.

"The Longxiang Brigade is ready to be separated, the army is divided into the army and the navy, and the soldiers who know how to sail or have experience in driving ships are selected from the whole army to enter the navy, and three battalions of 6,000 people will be established in the early stage, which is called the Fubo Brigade, and the level is the same as that of the Longxiang Brigade."

……

At this moment, there was silence in the conference room, and everyone looked at Yu Yongkai and the others.

Liu Ximing did not wait for Yu Yongkai and others to express his position, and continued to raise one hand to speak: "In view of the special environment of the navy, the salaries of naval officers and soldiers are all arranged with reference to the officer and above. ”

"No, second brother, this, this ......"

Yu Yongkai and You Degao, who were sitting below, were dumbfounded.

Liu Ximing looked at several officers with a calm face, "I have a reason for this matter, you can understand it yourself in the future, now is not the time to bargain, you must do what I say, do you understand?" ”

The majesty for a long time played a role, although there were some thoughts in their hearts, Yu Yongkai, You Degao and others immediately got up and saluted: "Obey the arrangement of the second brother." ”

No one could have imagined that the Huaxia Navy, which later spanned the world, would be established in an inland area, which also made later military historians talk about it.

However, the Liu family is not completely without the foundation of the navy, since the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Jialing River fleet under the joint management of the Duty Housing Transportation Bureau and the Longxiang Brigade has been established.

After more than a year of running-in training, the fleet has successfully guaranteed all kinds of needs of Liujia Village, including transportation tasks and escort tasks.

This kind of experience is very important for Long Xiang Brigade, who was taught by Liu Ximing

It is particularly important for the army to learn and grow, and in the past year or so, all kinds of information such as sailing experience and fleet maintenance experience that have been explored have already been registered.

Although the river and the sea are very different, it is already a rare good thing for the self-made Fubo Brigade.

As for the commander of the Fubo Brigade, Liu Xi ordered the selection and selection of You Degao as the commander of the Fubo Brigade, the reason is very simple, he is auspicious and swims high.

The ideological and political officer is Zhao Jingyong, who has deep qualifications, and the military judge is Liu Dehui of the pro-guard regiment.

After such a busy period of survival, everything about the newly formed navy can be regarded as basically completed.

As time passed, the lake that Liu Ximing planned to use for naval training also began to start construction simultaneously.

Of course, Liu Ximing shouldn't be able to wait for it to be completed, because the deadline for the township test is approaching, and Xie Wenle, Du Liangji and others have come to inquire many times when they are ready to leave.

Liu Ximing had to arrange for the workshop to build five slipways on the slope of the lake that had not yet been formed, take out the five warships in the space and put them on, and once the lake was built, the boats would be put into the lake for the naval training that had not yet been formed.

As for the early stage, the navy can only rely on those model ships and the existing fleet of the Liu family to train.

On 27 July, Liu Ximing finally marched towards Chengdu Mansion together with Xie Wenle, Zhao Xiangyang and others.

This trip to Chengdu is three times larger than the last time, except for Xie Wenle, Zhao Xiangyang and others, all the members of the Datong Society who passed the county discipline examination gathered here to Liu Ximing, and everyone walked all the way.

Liu Ximing was naturally happy to sell his personal favor to everyone, thinking that Chengdu Mansion must be nervous at the moment, he simply invited all the members of his company to stay in his Chengdu Mansion, which attracted a group of members to thank him again and again.

The Datong Society is now more and more prosperous in Shunqing, with 64 official members alone, and more than 20 people are in the inspection period.

These people are all talented without exception, although there are no children of generations of officials and gentry like Chen Huang, Zhao Li, but with Liu Ximing in charge, plus the things that the Datong Society has done before, the name of the Datong Society in Fucheng is now overshadowing all the other scholars.

With so many people traveling together, the journey from Shunqing to Chengdu suddenly became no longer lonely.

Nearly 100 scholars stayed in the carriage every day, either discussing the current texts or asking for advice on the scriptures, and they were very busy.

Affected by this atmosphere, Liu Ximing also got into the stacks of books, and was busy with the things to prepare for the exam every day.

Fortunately, there is space and spiritual water, and his learning efficiency is many times higher than others, and even Xie Wenle, Dou Yuquan and others, who were close to him, were also stained with light.

On the second day of August, the group finally stepped into the east gate of Chengdu Mansion and reappeared in his book

In front of the house purchased in the courtyard street.

The last time he left Chengdu in a hurry, Liu Ximing temporarily lent the house to Lisisi and a few of his entourage to live in, and now as soon as he got out of the carriage, he noticed the difference.

Isn't it the sound of prayer coming from the fucking yard?

In the knock on the door, Li Biao's deep voice sounded, "Mr. Li, we have come to Chengdu, please open the door." ”

There was a rush of sound from inside the house, and after a while, the Saidy Si that Li Biao had seen before squeaked open the door.

"Brother Li, why are you back?" Said's face was joyful.

Without waiting for Li Biao to reply, Lyric walked out wearing a priest's black robe.

"Lee, welcome back."

He immediately saw Liu Ximing who walked down from the carriage again, laughed awkwardly and walked down the steps of the house to greet him.

"Liu, it's great that you're back with you."

Liu Ximing looked at Li Yisi with a smile, and pouted behind the door that opened on the side.

"Mr. Leigh, you won't be meeting inside to worship God, will you?"

Lys's face was even more embarrassed, "Hehe, that, you know, the officials of Chengdu Mansion are too pedantic, and they don't allow us to open churches until now, I ......"

Liu Ximing waved his hand to stop his next words, "Mr. Li, I remember that I told you before leaving, please don't treat me here as a church, but you agreed." ”

Lyric struggled to squeeze out a smile, and was caught red-handed by the Lord, even though he felt that serving God was the right thing to do, he didn't know how to explain it at the moment.

Fortunately, Liu Ximing didn't want to deliberately embarrass him, after all, Jesus would still be of some use to himself.

"Okay, I won't say much about this matter, but now that I am waiting to go to Chengdu to catch the exam, these dozens of scholars will live in, and it will be inappropriate for anyone to come to worship again, and Mr. will never bring people over in the future."

Liu Ximing stood with his hands in his hands, and with a chuckle, he relieved the siege for Li Si.

As soon as Li Yisi heard this, a hint of joy flashed on his hairy face, "Liu, don't worry, it was my fault before, and we will change places in the future." ”

"Hahaha, that's right, it's not that I embarrass you, I have now been named the new Amber of the imperial court, if you do this again, it is easy for people to think that I instructed it, and there may be more trouble then."

Liu Ximing pointed to the courtyard, and while explaining to Lissi, he motioned for everyone to enter the door.

But the focus of Li's attention shifted from the matter of worship, and he pulled Liu Ximing's sleeve with a look of surprise.

"Liu, you said you were made an earl? Now that you are a nobleman, can you please tell the officials of Chengdu Prefecture that they will allow me to build a church and spread the grace of the Lord. ”
