In the end, the mystery was solved by Qian Qi, what did Liu Zhenglong fancy about the Qian family, and what he could provide to the other party in the end, this matter is nothing on the surface, but it is actually prohibited and violated.

No matter what, Qian Qi is still willing to go on, what has the Qian family been lurking for so many years, isn't it just for such a day.

Qian Family Engineering College was finally established in Fuyang County, and young talents from Jiangnan and elites from various industries joined one after another. On the one hand, the treatment is outrageous, and on the other hand, the prestige of the Qian family.

If you have money to go to school, you will be treated with reference to the Eight Grades of Zhi County, and once you graduate, you will directly implement the Eight Grades, which is more attractive than the imperial examination. Of course, the selection was extremely strict, and Liu Zhenglong, the honorary dean, personally presided over the selection.

As for the professors, they came from the Pan family, the Liu family, the Qian family, the Ling family, the Ling family, who had been in charge of gunpowder for a hundred years, the Peng family, who was responsible for iron smelting in the northwest, and the Tang family, the boss of the shipbuilding industry in Jiangnan.

Of course, after Fang La's pseudonym became Yuan Xia's name, he seemed to have an enlightenment all of a sudden, of course, the most important thing is that he had something to do with the Persian side when he was preaching, otherwise even if he had more money, he would not be able to get through this route, and he would not be able to dig up these twenty foreign professors.

In the School of Engineering, Liu Zhenglong still has a course himself, but his courses can only be held in Guangzhou, otherwise he would not have time to teach students.

These subjects are unfamiliar to most students, but they are relatively simple for those craftsmen, but these guys are illiterate and still struggle to learn. All in all, it was faltering and difficult to start, but it was still a departure, which is worth celebrating.

Ling Zhen, the professor of the firearms department, made gunpowder, and the artillery was okay, but the lecture really embarrassed this clumsy guy. Ling Zhen's biggest headache is not the lecture, although he is clumsy, he can still express it clearly, after all, he is a professor, and students can only listen to the lecture and cannot refute it. The most difficult thing is the task given by Liu Zhenglong, it seems that this lord has countless ideas in his head, and every wild idea must be realized, which is what makes Ling Zhen the most headache.

Although he had a headache, Ling Zhen was the sister-in-law of the Ling family after all, and he had the huge Ling family behind him, otherwise this guy would have collapsed long ago. The Ling family is an authority at this point, if the Ling family can't handle it, then it will indicate a dead end, no one can help, Liu Zhenglong can only provide ideas, and the burden of a thousand catties is on the Ling family. However, this time, with the firearms department, some students can help Ling Zhen, so that the firearms department can gradually get on the right track.

Business is the easiest, the Liu family is a business giant, and those who come out to teach are the best masters, as for other disciplines, the progress is still slow, however, Liu Zhenglong is not in a hurry, he believes that the wisdom of the masses is infinite, and he firmly believes that there will be brave men under the heavy reward.

The progress of the smelting department is also very rapid, after all, the Peng family has been doing it for more than 200 years, of course, and now the Peng family has also received the task, that is, steelmaking, this cross-era initiative, although there is Liu Zhenglong's thinking, there is money to support, but it is still difficult. However, overseas high-quality iron ore resources can provide raw materials.

The smelting department is not only involved in the development and smelting of steel, but also in the development and smelting of copper, silver, gold, saltpeter, sulfur, etc., which requires a lot of money and sufficient ore to support. The northwest is protected by the Western Army, and the Western Xia is completely liberalized, as long as it is explored, it can be developed, and the Qian family fully supports Jiangnan.

The most difficult is the mechanical manufacturing department, the first batch of professors began to explore three years ago, but it is still very difficult to really get started, but Liu Zhenglong, the most money-burning department, is personally in charge, of course, this is just support, in fact, not substitute teaching.

Other disciplines have also appeared one after another, the establishment of the entire School of Engineering, it can be said that the Qian family has made great contributions, which Liu Zhenglong is very satisfied with, knowing that this place is gradually on the right track, and he should also go to Guangzhou, if it has been stagnant, the court will definitely be suspicious. Moreover, the situation in Hebei has deteriorated further, and the farther he hides, the better, if it weren't for the fact that Hainan Island is very desolate now, he really wants to go to Hainan Island to spend the winter.

Hainan Island, suddenly Liu Zhenglong remembered one thing, in the Great Song Dynasty, Hainan Island was a place of exile for prisoners, there were many exiled prisoners, these people can be said to be hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and there are talents who may not be able to say, in addition, you can train the navy there, after all, the navy has been training in the river and cannot withstand the wind and waves, and it is different at sea.

At the beginning, it was said that the Thunderbolt Army was divided into five armies, of which four armies were settled, but the Fifth Army has not been formed, and there is no suitable candidate.

Qian Qi didn't expect Liu Zhenglong to respond soon, he was very happy, and he also knew what to do with this step, no matter what, it was still necessary to master a naval army in his own hands.

Who will be the commander of the Fifth Army? After careful consideration, Qian Qi finally sent Li Jing, who is the person with the most ability to command the navy in the Qian family's talent pool, although he is not the best candidate, but the Qian family has no other choice. After all, if the ability to command the naval army cannot be improved, it is difficult for Liu Zhenglong to explain.

Li Jing has outstanding ability, the only problem is greed for money, and lack of loyalty is Qian Qi's biggest scruple, however, he has a way to restrain this person, after all, the recruitment of the new army is handled by the Qian family, and the junior officers are all sent in by Qian Jia'an.

In this situation, the shrewd Zhao Yurou found out, and she said to Liu Zhenglong: "Husband, this water army is all built by the Qian family, will it make wedding dresses for others in the end, you must know that the Qian family is not 100% loyal to you." ”

"It's good that you can see this, but don't worry, this Fifth Army can't set off the storm, no matter what tricks Qian Qi plays, in the end, the entire Thunderbolt Army is Liu Jiajun, and no one can erase this brand. In each army, there will be members of the Dragon Soul Society stationed, and at the same time, they are stationed in two lines, one bright and one dark, complementing each other and restricting each other. ”

Liu Zhenglong held Zhao Yurou in his arms, and unhurriedly told the characteristics of the Dragon Soul Society, of course, it was only a superficial taste, after all, these women are not suitable to tell themselves.

The Dragon Soul Society is divided into two teams and stationed in the army, the first branch will be officially stationed, and the officers above the head of the capital will be examined, and once a problem is found, they will be secretly arrested, and no explanation will be given, and only when the execution will the necessary explanations be made, all investigations must not interfere with anyone, all personnel must cooperate, and whoever refuses will be arrested. When the second branch will enter no one knows, how many people no one knows, and no one knows the scope of duties. These people are only responsible to the upper echelons of the Dragon Soul Society, and they are absolutely confidential. Even Liu Zhenglong himself doesn't know the specific situation, to put it bluntly, it is a top-secret existence. Of course, these people are also loyal to the lord, and they are ready to die for the lord at any time, which even the person in charge of the Dragon Soul Society can't change.

I don't know why, these days, Liu Zhenglong found that Zhao Yurou has a unique trait, which is a bit similar to himself before rebirth, it seems that it is time to set up a department outside the Dragon Soul Society, this department is under the command of Zhao Yurou, preparing for his own emperor.

After all, the Dragon Soul Society is not invulnerable, its prototype history was originally full of loopholes and internal chaos, causing countless secrets to leak and causing countless problems. Otherwise, Boss Dai would not have crashed.

Zhao Yurou was very interested in Liu Zhenglong's idea, and after pondering for a long time, she said: "I can form such an organization, and I will never let the outside world know, the scale is not too large, I can start to form it." ”

"Specifically, I don't want to know, just be in charge of you, it's related to my net worth and life, you will understand this, so this department is set up according to this idea."

"Then you can give this department a name."

Liu Zhenglong pondered for a moment and said: "Codename 'Huofeng', I will give you some suggestions, and I want you to implement them, I believe you can do a good job." ”

Liu Zhenglong extracted all the useful information that he summarized similar organizations throughout the ages, and told Zhao Yurou bit by bit, but he didn't expect that this beauty would draw inferences from one another and have a very high level of understanding, which is a bit extraordinary, but it is also the case, the leader of this Fire Phoenix organization is none other than Zhao Yurou.

Regarding who is in the organizational structure of Huofeng, Liu Zhenglong doesn't ask, and he doesn't want to interfere.

The establishment of Huofeng indicates that Liu Zhenglong is going to leave Hangzhou, after all, the overseas Xuanfu envoy in Guangzhou cannot always be without a chief official, in that case, the imperial court will definitely send someone to investigate.

Liu Zhenglong went to sea by boat, he was going to Hainan Island to inspect it, and then he would go to Guangzhou, this guy wanted to build an overseas military base, after all, he would have to rely on the sailors to counterattack the Jin State in the future. Not only that, without such a powerful naval base, how could it maintain a strong military deterrent for King Kang Zhao Gou.

Sea ship, this is the first time Liu Zhenglong has boarded a big ship of ten thousand stones in this world, this is a merchant ship, so what would be the situation if it was a warship.

After having this idea, Liu Zhenglong brought Tang Zhenjun, the fifth young master of the Tang family, over.

Tang Zhenjun is not good at talking, he is not good, he is black, he is less than thirty, but he looks like a little old man. But those little eyes were bright and looked very energetic.

"Grandpa Guo, what are you looking for me, please command."

"Nothing, can this 10,000-stone ship be transformed into a warship?"

"Well, it's very difficult, and it's expensive, it's about the same as building a new ship. Of course, the construction of the Wanshi ship takes time, especially the number of keels of the domestic Wanshi ship is limited, and it is difficult to get a new keel without four or five years. ”

Liu Zhenglong waved his hand and said: "Expenditure, it's not a problem, your shipyard is destined to burn money, and how much money is not a problem." But you're right, keels are time-consuming. In this way, you tell me how many 10,000-stone ships there are in the country, how many keels there are, and how long it will take to transform a 10,000-stone ship. ”

Tang Zhenjun said after thinking for a long time: "There are about 30 large ships in China, after all, this kind of big ship that costs tens of thousands of dollars will not be too much, not only that, it is quite troublesome to build, if there is a keel, a ship needs two years to build, of course, if the workers are doubled, it can be advanced to a year and a half." It's just that some of these more than 30 10,000-stone ships generally belong to the imperial court, and five of them generally belong to the Liu family, three belong to the Pan family, three belong to the Qian family, and the others are scattered in other places, you must know that the cost is 10,000, not the selling price. In addition, the ship required hundreds of sailors for each drive, which was also a large expense. If it's not ocean, it's really unnecessary, so this amount is already the limit. As for the keel, there are less than fifty, and more than half of them are in the hands of the imperial court. ”

"How many soldiers and how many horses can a ship of ten thousand stones carry." Liu Zhenglong is not interested in whether a 10,000-stone ship is 10,000 or tens of thousands, this is not a problem, what he is most concerned about is the carrying capacity, otherwise how to come in handy when fighting in the future.

Tang Zhenjun hadn't thought about this problem yet, he thought for a long time and said: "It should be possible to carry a thousand troops, of course, after the specific transformation, I don't know, as for the war horse, you know, the war horse is alive, disobedient, not easy to deal with, has not been carried, so I don't know." By the way, it may take a year to transform a large ship of ten thousand stones into a warship. If you want to carry a war horse, I propose to use a new ship, and I will reorganize the design. ”

"Well, the wages of all the workers will be increased by three times, as fast as possible, and another 20,000 stone will be made as much as possible, or even a larger warship will come out, and the keel problem will be solved by yourself, and a heavy reward will be offered. If you make it, you will be the prefect of the fifth grade, and you will be rewarded with 100,000 silver. ”

There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, the prefect of Zhengwupin made Tang Zhenjun's blood boil immediately, he couldn't wait to start work immediately, but this guy also knew that the 100,000 yuan was not easy to earn, but money can make the ghost grind, and if you have enough money, you will definitely be able to get things done.

Liu Zhenglong knew that Tang Zhenjun's blood was boiling, and he said: "There are two kinds of warships I am talking about, one is a troop carrier that transports soldiers and horses, and the other is a gunboat that fights, you can negotiate with Ling Zhen specifically, in a word, money is not a problem, you work hard, don't let me down." ”

If there are 10,000 stones, or even 20,000 stone warships, then when counterattacking the Jin army in the future, it will definitely be a secret weapon, at this time, Liu Zhenglong is full of confidence, and now it depends on the progress of the war. You must know that your rebirth has changed a lot, and due to the butterfly effect, there may be some uncontrollable factors that will happen.

Uncontrollable factors, at this time, Liu Zhenglong quickly thought of Hebei, after all, the fuse was there, and it could be ignited at any time.

Zhang Jue, yes, the biggest variable is in Zhang Jue, at this time, Liu Zhenglong found a big problem, according to the historical process, Zhang Jue should have been executed last year, that is, in the fifth year of Xuanhe (1123), but there is no movement yet, this is not a person's life and death, the key is that this person's life and death are very important to the situation in Hebei.

I don't know what the situation is, so Liu Zhenglong sent someone to fly the pigeon to Hebei to see what the situation was on Zhang Jue's side. Since this guy's head has been preserved to this day, let's try to let Zhang Jue live, after all, he wants to take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that I have to find out whether this guy wants to start a new stove because he can't get along in the Jin Kingdom, or does he really want to return to the Great Song Dynasty.

There is an essential difference between the two, if Zhang Jue just wants to save his life in the Great Song Dynasty, then the existence of this guy is a scourge, and it must be eradicated in time, of course, the eradication must be handed over to Jin Jun to deal with. If you really go back to the Great Song Dynasty, then pull him along, after all, this guy still has tens of thousands of horses, and if they are thrown to the Jin Kingdom in a daze, it will be worth the loss.

Now, Liu Zhenglong can only take care of the affairs of the south, and is not in the mood to take care of Hebei, after all, the whip is beyond his reach, and what he is most concerned about now is his son who has not met in Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia.

Liu Zhenglong is merry and happy, but Tong Guan is an old thief, the situation in Hebei is becoming more and more tense, the Song army in the south of Yanshan has all been cleaned up by the Jin army, Yanshan Mansion has become a lonely city, if it were not for the support of the resentful army, maybe the prefect Wang Anzhong would have run away long ago.

Wang Anzhong didn't run, but Tong Guan, the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road, finally couldn't bear it, he ran to Taiyuan, this guy is an ostrich mentality, it would be good to escape to Taiyuan by himself, as for how about Hebei Road, how Yanshan Mansion has nothing to do with him.

Wang Anzhong was originally greedy for life and afraid of death, but now that Tong Guan has escaped, he can't hold on even more. It's just that this guy is not stupid, Tong Guan is Hebei Road, Hedong Road Xuanfu Envoy, not in Hebei, go to Taiyuan Mansion, and the beautiful name is to inspect Hedong Road. But he is the prefect of Yanshan Prefecture, if he leaves without the consent of the political affairs hall. In this life, I will say goodbye to my life in Huan Hai, and I don't want to make a comeback.

It is true that the Great Song Dynasty is a civil official, but the sea has the rules of the game, if the prefect of Yanshan Mansion leaves without an order from the political hall, he will never be an official, and he can only go home obediently to pick up his children. For Wang Anzhong, an old fritter in the sea of eunuchs, he regards his official position as more important than his own life, and he is absolutely unwilling to leave Yanshan Mansion without permission unless he has to.

Leaving and not leaving Yanshan Mansion is not the main thing, no matter what, the Jin army will not be able to enter Yanshan Mansion in a short time, Wang Anzhong is not worried about this, the most headache for this guy is Zhang Jue, a bastard, who will cause trouble at every turn, and it seems to have offended the Jin people, if the Jin army has a whole excuse to wait for the opportunity to provoke, then it will be a big trouble.

Civil officials, there is always the pride of civil officials, Wang Anzhong's prefect is not an ordinary prefect, it is the official position of the Jianxiong Army appointed by the imperial court, the Daimyo Mansion Yin and the Beijing Left-behind Division, that is the official position of Zheng Sanpin.

The next step for Wang Anzhong, who is in the third grade, is Shangshu Youcheng, and the channel to enter the political hall has been opened, how can this arrogant literati look down on Zhang Jue, a military general who surrendered from the Liao State, plus this is a troublemaker, so he is destined to often wear small shoes for this rebel general.

Zhang Jue is just a small role, and it is not a big deal to give him small shoes to wear. At least Wang Anzhong doesn't take it seriously, but he is a little worried about Guo Yaoshi, you must know that the leader of this resentful army is the same prefect, that is, the deputy of Yanshan Mansion, plus he is familiar with the situation in Yanshan Mansion, and there are tens of thousands of resentful troops behind him, so that the chief and deputy of Yanshan Mansion are more energetic. One is a high-ranking and powerful person, with the support of the imperial court, it can be said that he is a strong dragon, and Guo Yaoshi is the head snake of Yanshan Mansion, and he has a strong resentful army, so he is destined not to compromise with a strong dragon.

Originally, Zhang Jue was a military general of the Liao army, and later defected to the Jin State, and was also crowned as the envoy of the Linhai Navy, but no one knows why he rebelled against the Jin State and finally defected to Yanshan Mansion.

Originally, Wang Anzhong looked down on Zhang Jue and didn't want to keep his hands, but in order to fight against Pharmacist Guo, this guy took Zhang Jue in. But he didn't expect Zhang Jue to cause trouble and refuse to obey discipline at all, so Wang Anzhong gave this guy small shoes to wear.

I can't afford to provoke it, and I can't hide it! Wang Anzhong didn't want to provoke Guo Yaoshi, and he didn't want to pay attention to Zhang Jue's life or death, he just wanted to hurry up and transfer to the often, this guy kept giving gifts to the court, a large number of gold, silver and jewelry to Wang Shiyong, the secretary of the ministry, and the minister of the government hall.

Money can make ghosts grind, after spending 100,000 yuan, the political hall was relieved, and promised to transfer Wang Anzhong to the capital after the year, temporarily serving as a servant of the ministry, of course, this position was originally Liu Zhenglong's, but this overseas propaganda envoy has already gone to Guangzhou, this is the slightest, Wang Shiyong wants to take down this position, and by the way, Wang Anzhong will be transferred.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. It's simple to take down the servant of the ministry, but the problem is that the position is Liu Zhenglong's, and the battle between the civil official group and the meritorious family has just subsided, if you rashly take that position, it will be another uproar, which will anger the official family. This is why Wang Shiyong emphasized that it is the year after the year, as for the time, it can only be taken step by step, after all, if Cai Jing, the old lady in the civil official group, does not spit out, it is difficult to make the meritorious family succumb.

Wang Shiyong didn't know that he had written this verbal check to Wang Anzhong, but he pushed the Great Song Dynasty into the abyss, making the already complicated situation more chaotic and difficult to control.

After Wang Anzhong got the promise, he didn't care about the affairs of Yanshan Mansion even more, not only allowing Guo Yaoshi to expand his power unscrupulously, but also ignoring Zhang Jue's troubles.

Regardless of whether the matter of Yanshan Mansion is true or not, but in the matter of making money, Wang Anzhong has intensified his efforts, and he can't wait to dig three feet into the ground to make money. Yanshan Mansion was already emptied by the Jin Army, and it was already very nervous, coupled with the looting of the resentful army during this time, this city suddenly became full of chickens and dogs, and the crisis of Yanshan Mansion was infinitely magnified. It's a pity that Wang Anzhong won't know about it, and the court won't know about it.

Yanshan Mansion is in crisis, and the members of Dragon Claw immediately sent a flying pigeon biography to make a brief report on the crisis here, and of course, someone has to go south to report the detailed information to Liu Zhenglong. This was the biggest shortcoming of that era, no matter how much ability there was, the transmission of information was so slow that it delayed the record.
