Chapter 110: The Great Patriotic War
In the name of Gao Han, it is naturally possible for private individuals to raise funds, but one thing is very certain: this firearms factory must be under the name of a certain yamen of the imperial court, subject to the control of the imperial court, and the firearms produced by it must also be sold to the imperial court.
In fact, Gao Han can talk to the political envoy of Guangzhou, or even the Governor's Mansion, but Gao Han does not believe them, but he reopens this firearms factory, and he is not interested in making money at all, but wants to make better firearms, and even absorbs and improves the technology of the Franc machine man.
If these yamen join, not only will there be a lot of father-in-law and mother-in-law on their heads, but they will definitely have considerable requirements for profits, but they may not care much about the quality of firearms, which is far from Gao Han's original intention.
It has been so many days since he left Beijing, Gao Han has not written to the emperor once, as far as the duty of observing the wind is concerned, it is inevitably a bit dereliction of duty, just taking advantage of this matter, he has dealt with what he has seen and heard in Guangdong, and even including the plan to reopen the firearms factory, all of which have been written to the emperor one by one.
Since it is to observe the wind, the view is the main thing, as for how to do it, it depends on the emperor's meaning, if the emperor does not want him to be troubled, no matter what he does, it is wrong, this point, he is still very clear.
The letter to the emperor was sent directly to Jingshi through the channel of Jinyiwei, and with the distance between the two places, even if he took the sea route, it was estimated that it would take a month or two to hear back, but the matter in his hands would not stop because of this.
The people who bought from the household department stayed in Haojingao for more than half a month, and then returned directly to Guangzhou, as a wind watcher, Gao Han did not plan to follow them back to Guangzhou like a headless fly, but in order to show his concern, he still sent Sun Yulin to bring a few people to follow, one was to guard the duty, and the other was naturally to show the "attention" of the wind watcher.
The reopening of the firearms factory is quietly going on, how much money did Qian Lianghu take out, find a new site, place craftsmen, buy equipment and appliances, Gao Han is not clear, but he completely let it do things on his own, and he is a little uneasy, it just so happens that Liu Ru stays in the inn every day, and Wu Yanran is simply idle and panicked, seeing that there is something to do, he took the initiative to ask Ying to participate in the work of reopening the firearms factory.
Gao Han thought about it, there should be no more danger in Haojing Ao now, and with Qian Lianghu by his side, he would not be able to protect the two daughters, so he simply let them out.
A month has passed, the firearms factory has basically been prepared, Qian Lianghu meant, is a lively opening ceremony, but was stopped by Gao Han, this kind of thing, the emperor's official reply has not come down, just do it quietly, he even thought about it, if the emperor does not agree with him to do things, he simply pushed Olivia out to be the owner of this firearms factory, this person runs a firearms factory has a precedent, if there is a precedent to follow, many things, it is much easier to do.
Fortunately, the emperor's reply was not slow, and after a month and a half, the emperor's reply arrived, and the reply was just three words, "Got it!" ”
When Gao Han got this reply, he was directly dumbfounded, what does this mean, I know, do you know this thing, let yourself do what you want to do, or do you know this thing, you do your own errand, don't care about other things?
After pondering for a long time, I didn't know the essentials, so I had to find Liu Ru and ask her to analyze the meaning of this reply.
"It's not simple, the emperor knows, you can do whatever you want!" Liu Ru blinked: "It's either reprimand, or acquiesce!" ”
"Then give me a little power!" Gao Han rolled his eyes, "I know, what is this, I, Nima, am the Wind Watcher, do the Wind Watchers meddle in local affairs, I dare to interfere, and I won't be drowned by the spittle of those guys from the Yushitai!" ”
"You're still the commander of the Jinyi Guard, why don't you say it!" Liu Ru glanced at him with a smile: "What else do you want, let the emperor tell you directly, Lord Gao, you let it go, if something happens, the court will give it to you?" Could the emperor have said that? ”
"How could the emperor not be ......" Gao Han muttered, and his voice gradually became quieter, indeed, nothing has happened now, it is nothing more than in a remote fishing village thousands of mountains and rivers away from Beijing, and he killed a few blind fans, what can the emperor say, as for what kind of fleet of people attacked, it is just a one-sided statement, the emperor can patiently read his own twists and turns, he has already given himself a lot of face, what can he give instructions.
As for the matter of the purchase of the household department, it was originally a matter of the household department and the military department trying the emperor's control ability, if they can't do things well, the emperor is only happy, naturally not unhappy, he can "watch the wind" on the side, what do you care. At present, the emperor is probably starting to clean up the court, fighting wits and courage with those civil officials, and winning the hearts of those military attachés.
"Got it!" Liu Ru said with a smile: "What the emperor wants to hear is not how to do it, whether it should be done, but to hear what you, the wind watcher, have done thousands of miles away, and how much face can be given to the emperor. ”
If the emperor's reply is good news, then the news brought by Wan Ziliang is not good news.
The news from formal channels has been reported to the Governor's Mansion through the Jinyi Wei Hundred Households, but Wan Ziliang decided to bring this news to Gao Han, not only because Gao Han is an envoy to watch the wind, but because Gao Han is also his official in Jinyiwei.
The news of the Portuguese Far Eastern Fleet has been established that the prisoner, named Benjamin, is still largely not lying. At this moment, the Portuguese Far East Fleet was anchored in the port of Manraka, and the kingdom of Manraka had fallen, and the king and royal family of Manraka were said to have fled inland far from the port, and were preparing to gather men and horses to fight a war to defend the country against these invaders.
