"Haha, Brother Shen, I said why did this magpie keep calling this morning. It turned out that Brother Shen was here, please, please, the humble house is shining! ”

The person who came was Shen Tingyang, the scholar in the Wuying Hall and the chief scoop of the Shachuan Gang!

Before, Xu Changqing had always wanted to contact Shen Tingyang to see if he could take the Grand Canal and transport these craftsmen to Shandong.

It must be known that if you take the Grand Canal, it is only a stone's throw away from Tongzhou, which will greatly save Xu Changqing's financial, material and time resources.

It's a pity that Shen Tingyang's whereabouts are too erratic, and he often goes to sea, and Xu Changqing doesn't have such abundant manpower to contact him.

Unexpectedly, this guy actually came to the capital at this time, and he still came to take the initiative to visit.

Looking at Xu Changqing's sincere and eager appearance, Shen Tingyang also laughed: "Brother, brother really didn't mistake you, it really boosted the prestige of my Ming Dynasty and the prestige of my Han people!" Amazing, amazing! ”

Shen Tingyang lost his previous chic at this time, hooked up with Xu Changqing, and gave Xu Changqing a thumbs up sincerely.

He had already realized that Xu Changqing, a young descendant, was very different from ordinary Ming generals, not only was he bold and domineering, but he also had a delicacy and self-motivation that were rare among ordinary people!

In the words of later generations, Xu Changqing is not only brainy, motivated, and energetic, but also has amazing execution!

This is also the main reason why he and Xu Changqing broke the knot.

However, Shen Tingyang didn't expect that his brother would be ten thousand times more powerful than he imagined!

The Battle of Songjin was a thing of the past at this time, and although many of the things had been deliberately beautified and trimmed, with Shen Tingyang's energy, it was naturally not difficult to know the core.

In the midst of the ten thousand armies, the Commander Taiji of the Slave Chieftain was killed!

The First World War decided the entire war in Liaoxi, and saved the entire Ming Dynasty from fire and water!

What is this concept?

It was the second master of the martial saint Guan Yun Changguan back then, Grandpa Yue Wu Muyue, even the grandfather of the year, who failed to do so!

The two came to the main hall shoulder to shoulder, originally the pro-soldiers came to serve tea, but Xu Changqing directly sent the pro-soldiers away, and beckoned Rui'er to call Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, Gu Hengbo and Kou Baimen to come over and come to see Shen Tingyang together.

Soon, Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei came over and personally served tea to Shen Tingyang.

How could Shen Tingyang not understand what Xu Changqing meant? This is 'the best of the best'!

Busy is very formal, and one by one with Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei.

Whether it is Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei, or Gu Hengbo and Kou Baimen, they all know Shen Tingyang, and the atmosphere in the hall is more lively for a while.

Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei are the main room, so they naturally enjoy this right.

Gu Hengbo and Kou Baimen are concubines, and they originally didn't have this opportunity to meet the male host's friends, but at this time, Xu Changqing brought them all over, which also made the two women a little indescribably hot for a while, looking at Xu Changqing's gaze, full of indescribable resentment.

A group of people met, and asked Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei to clean up lunch in person, Xu Changqing and Shen Tingyang also sat down, drinking tea and chatting.

Shen Tingyang came here this time, mainly to prepare for the New Year's Festival, reserve some gifts, first visit the bigwigs who can talk in Beijing, and then arrange for people to give gifts during the New Year, then he will not come, because during this time he wants to go to Macau, including Nanyang to see.

"It's worthy of Brother Shen, what a big stroke!"

Xu Changqing's spirit was also greatly lifted after hearing this, and he sincerely extended a thumbs up to Shen Tingyang.

Nanyang, but Xu Changqing has already predetermined the territory, and history has proven the wealth and importance of it.

Of course, it will definitely not be possible to achieve it at this time, but this does not prevent Xu Changqing from exchanging technology and technology, including wealth, with those ghosts.

Why did Xu Changqing spend a lot of effort to make friends with John Tang before?

Although the Chinese people have a history of 5,000 years of civilization, Zu Chongzhi accurate pi to the seventh decimal place as early as 1,000 years ago in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, including Zhang Heng, as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty invented the armillary sphere, geodynamic instrument and so on.

However, at this time, the country was closed and the communication was not smooth, and the Ming Dynasty was already on the weak side in modern science.

Not to mention the history of another time and space, the barbarism and ignorance of wild boar skin completely sank the entire Han nation into the abyss, until the pioneers of the older generation worked hard for several generations, which made the Han nation stand in the forest of the world again.

At this time, John Tong had a lot of professional knowledge in modern science, especially gunpowder and mathematics, including foreign languages.

Xu Changqing's catapult can be fired by the sons and daughters according to their feelings and talents, but real artillery, real artillery, and those who are not truly talented, will definitely be finished with talent alone.

If you can rely on Tang Ruowang himself, including the relationship behind him, to establish a new war system for Xu Changqing, including cultivating a new education system, whether it is for Xu Changqing or the Chinese nation, this is really difficult to buy with ten thousand gold or millions of gold.

"Oh? Changqing, do you also know about the affairs of Nanyang? ”

Shen Tingyang was also in high spirits at this time, and looked at Xu Changqing excitedly.

It must be known that at this time, the Ming Dynasty is still the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, not to mention Nanyang, Liaodong is all barbarians, and those who go to Nanyang to seek a life are those who are not allowed by the mainstream society, and in the consciousness of the mainstream society, those who go to Nanyang are spicy chickens.

Shen Tingyang really didn't expect Xu Changqing to have an understanding of Nanyang.

"Understood?"

"I don't know. Just interested. ”

Xu Changqing smiled, "Brother Shen, why do you suddenly want to go to Nanyang?" ”

Shen Tingyang and Xu Changqing did not shy away from it, and said with a smile: "Changqing, you don't know, it's difficult to do business now, I only guard this acre and three points of land, maybe I can survive for a few years, but what about a few years later?" It's definitely a disadvantage. It just so happened that some time ago, Brother Yiguan sent me an invitation to go to Nanyang to have a look, and I also wanted to try my luck there. ”

"Big Brother Yiguan?"

Xu Changqing's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in his heart: "This master, is he also fighting Nanyang's idea now?" ”

Soon Xu Changqing also understood that the eyesight of the eldest brother of the first official must be no problem, and he is afraid that the news channels in the south cannot be compared to the Ming Dynasty, so it is naturally impossible to watch those white-haired ghosts holding silver in the South Seas without any thoughts!

However, with the mirror of history, Xu Changqing understands very well that the ambition of the eldest brother is still too small, and it is a little reluctant to do business, let alone further colonization.

But Shen Tingyang can have this opportunity at this time, whether it is for Shen Tingyang or Xu Changqing, it is a super good thing.

Speaking of 'Big Brother Yiguan', Shen Tingyang was also interested, and said with a smile: "Changqing, you should have also heard of Big Brother Yiguan's fame, right?" Don't look at those white-haired ghosts in Nanyang, who are five or six people, showing off their martial arts, but in front of the big brother of the official, they all have to admit it. Now the warship of the big brother of the official ......"

There are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for more than half a sentence.

Between Shen Tingyang and Xu Changqing, it is obviously the former, and on any topic, the two of them can talk until their mouths are dry.

Although the eldest brother of Yiguan is a junior of Shen Tingyang, he also admires the eldest brother of Yiguan Shen Tingyang very much, and he can't help it unconsciously, and introduces a lot of recent things to Xu Changqing.

Not so long ago, the fleet of the eldest brother of the first official, in the waters of Annam, defeated a notorious pirate team and captured a dozen large ships.

However, although this battle was won, the losses on the side of the big brother of the first official were not small, and after careful analysis, the big brother of the first official found that the artillery on his side had a tendency to fall behind.

This is also the core origin of this trip to the South Seas.

After listening to Shen Tingyang, Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei also began to serve wine and food in person.

Xu Changqing said before that he would let them cook, but it was impossible to really let them cook, so it was okay to entertain them when they were fine.

At this time, the person in charge of the kitchen of Xu Changqing's mansion was the chef surnamed She who had cooked porridge for Emperor Chongzhen and was later rewarded to Xu Changqing by Emperor Chongzhen, and was nicknamed 'She Yidao'.

His real method is not to boil porridge, but knife work, You Shan is good at making a 'carved sweet and sour carp', but he came to Xu Changqing's house by accident.

At this time, although the dishes were simple, the beauty of the craftsmanship made Shen Tingyang, who was spitting everywhere, a little stunned.

When he saw this sweet and sour carp like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing up, Shen Tingyang couldn't hold back anymore and hurriedly said, "Brother, you, where did you find the cook?" That's an exaggeration, isn't it? ”

Xu Changqing laughed and whispered a few words to Shen Tingyang.

"This ......"

Shen Tingyang couldn't cry or laugh for a while, and turned to look at Xu Changqing with indescribable envy in his eyes.

He's a little brother, he can really be jealous of someone.

Xu Changqing and Shen Tingyang didn't eat much, they had a full stomach first, drank a few glasses of wine, and after everyone was in a better state, Xu Changqing started with Nanyang's affairs and talked to Shen Tingyang about his requirements.

After Shen Tingyang listened, the wine glasses that came to his lips were put down: "Changqing, you, do you want to hire those white-haired ghosts?" Even if these white-haired ghosts are better than ours, what is the use? Don't waste your money. ”

This guy is still the character of a 'Heavenly Empire', and everything is inferior.

Xu Changqing smiled but did not speak.

After a moment, he explained: "Brother Shen, how to say this, I can't say it clearly for a while." You can just help me find it! Whether it's a craftsman in artillery and muskets, a soldier with war experience, or a teacher who teaches languages, if you bring one, I'll give you fifty taels of silver!"

Of course, you also explain to these white-haired ghosts that as long as they come, their salaries will be doubled!

If you have outstanding ability, you can multiply it five times or ten times! ”

"This ......"

Shen Tingyang was a little speechless, but Xu Changqing had already spoken, it was impossible for him not to give Xu Changqing this face, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you pay attention to this matter." ”

As he spoke, he also smiled: "Brother, if I get too many people back for you at that time, don't blame the eldest brother for earning your money." ”

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

After drinking a few more glasses of wine, Xu Changqing also said the primary purpose at this time, which was the need to take the Grand Canal.

This matter is not difficult for Shen Tingyang.

Although he has begun to gradually turn to shipping, he has a way to go in the Cao Gang, and said with a smile: "Brother, there is no need to talk about money for this little thing, just to Cangzhou." Just be ~, I'll help you find someone in the future. ”

Xu Changqing smiled, but he didn't refute it, for Shen Tingyang, this is really a small thing that can't be smaller.

With Xu Changqing's confidence, he is not afraid that he will not be able to repay Shen Tingyang's favor.

After that, the two exchanged opinions on many things, and the result was that Shen Tingyang was drunk and completely out of shape, and poured directly on the wine table.

Personally sent Shen Tingyang to the guest room to rest, Xu Changqing washed his face, breathed in the fresh air in the garden, and his state was already half recovered.

Just now, Xu Changqing had one thing that he had always cared about, but he didn't talk to Shen Tingyang in the open.

That's ------' station. Capital city. Do it'!
