Gao Junshan asked again.

Liu said: "The concubine misses her hometown, so she sheds tears. ”

"This is easy to do, I will take you back to Jinling."

"Really?" Liu Ru burst into tears and laughed.

"Really, of course it's true!"

"Then the concubine will eat another bowl of rice."

Gao Junshan smiled: "Look at you, I'm so happy......"

Of course, he was serious, because he was worried about the colder weather, and Liu Ruye's sorrow prompted him, why not develop to the south, there are still the Liangguang region and Annam that have not been recovered, and in order to cope with the colder weather, the matter of recovering these two regions must be put on the agenda.

He decided to personally sit in the south of the Yangtze River to develop the vast fertile land in the south, and immigrated to the south in large numbers to establish port cities such as Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong.

It is Gao Junshan's character to do what he says, so he happily agreed to Liu Ru's request to return to Jinling, and set off the next day.

He not only brought Liu Ruyi, but also Dong Xiaowan.

They took the "Xiangyang No. 1" to the south.

"Xiangyang No. 1" seems to have become a special seat for Gao Junshan, but in fact, it is not, but Gao Junshan greets the Admiralty in advance every time, and every time it is the gap period of "Xiangyang No. 1", and this time, he sits on "Xiangyang No. 1" again.

"Xiangyang No. 1" is also responsible for the heavy water transportation task of the Chinese country, the capital has a population of nearly 10 million, the grain is transported by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, and the Cao Gang is responsible for the safety of the entire canal basin.

This time down to the south of the Yangtze River, "Xiangyang No. 1" also has a carrying task, but because the emperor wants to take this ship, the captain took the initiative to reduce the freight volume by half.

After boarding the warship, Liu Ru asked Gao Junshan in puzzlement: "Your Majesty, this 'Xiangyang No. 1' is from a warship, how can it be used to transport goods?" ”

Gao Junshan said: "The Xiangyang-class battleship can only fight in inland rivers, and cannot undertake maritime combat missions, so it undertakes inland river escort missions. ”

When Liu Ru came to the capital from Jinling, she took this boat, and she had a lot less freshness about this ship. Dong Xiaowan is different, it is the first time for her to take such a big boat, and there is a boat with a big chimney, her freshness is strong.

"Your Majesty, what is that round, thick, and long thing for?"

Gao Junshan said in his heart, paralysis, you can't ask properly when you ask, what is round, thick and long? Didn't I see that you were referring to something, but when you asked about that thing!

"Smoking pillars." Gao Junshan didn't give her a good answer.

Dong Xiaowan asked stupidly: "The pillar can also smoke?" ”

Liu Ru smiled and said, "My little sister, that's a chimney, and it smokes when you drive the boat." ”

Dong Xiaowan asked: "With such a big chimney, how many meters does it take to eat a meal?" ”

Gao Junshan learned from Liu Ruye's tone and said: "My little sister, this chimney is not used for cooking, it is used for driving boats. ”

"Chimneys can also drive boats?"

Gao Junshan smiled happily: "Girls, why do you know so much?" Concubine Liu, take Concubine Dong Aifei to the private room in the rear cabin, I will go to the cockpit first, and then I will go over to see you later. ”

"Little sister, come with me!" Liu Ru led the way with a smile in front.

Liu Ru is twenty years old, beautiful and pretty, bright eyes, talented, she is three years older than Dong Xiaowan, so she is called little sister.

Gao Junshan watched the two beautiful and tender concubines go to the back deck, and then took Sun Kewang to the cockpit in front.

The cockpit is the command cabin, and the top of the cabin is the watchtower, at this time, the captain is preparing for the last inspection before sailing, he saw Gao Junshan coming in, and quickly stopped what he was doing, got up and saluted Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan said: "You don't have to be constrained by etiquette during work, you are busy with yours, I just came over to take a look." ”

The captain is also a disciple of Chongwen, and he said to Gao Junshan: "Mountain Chief, when will we fight Liangguang?" As soon as the students arrived in Jiangnan, someone asked me, 'You are the person next to the mountain chief, when are we going to fight Liangguang?' The students also wanted to know this question, so they took this opportunity to ask the mountain chief. ”

Gao Junshan smiled and said: "I understand your feelings, you have to eat bite by bite, and you have to walk step by step, you say?" As long as all of you do your part, there is hope for our country. ”

The captain said: "The teachings of the mountain chief are very good, and when the students encounter someone who asks again, they will tell them what the mountain chief said. ”

Gao Junshan said: "I have something I want you to inquire about. ”

The captain said: "Captain Shan's words are serious, the students report to you, that is where the duty lies!" Just ask. ”

Gao Junshan asked, "What do you think of the new Cao Gang leader?" ”

The captain didn't think about it, and said directly: "Gang Master Li, this person is good, as soon as he took office, he burned three fires for the Cao Gang." ”

"Oh? What are the three fires? ”

The captain said embarrassedly: "The students are also hearsay, if the mountain chief really wants to know, he should ask the people of their Cao Gang." ”

Gao Junshan nodded and said, "Thank you very much." Do you know about the confidentiality system? ”

"I understand, I understand." The captain hurriedly said, "The student and the captain have never spoken. ”

At this time, the signal to open the ship was given from the dock, the captain sounded the whistle, and the steam engine in the bilge rumbled.

Gao Junshan said: "I won't bother you to drive the boat!" ”

"Mountain Chief, you're good to go!"

Gao Junshan got down the ladder, he saw that the disciples of the Cao Gang were on duty, and there was no one on the deck moving anymore, Gao Junshan said to Sun Kewang: "Go, go back to the private room!" ”

In addition to the Cao Gang's people guarding, Gao Junshan also brought a team of Imperial Forest Army from the Imperial Palace, and now with him are Sun Kewang and four Royal Forest Army officers.

Although "Xiangyang No. 1" is not as long as a football field, it is longer than half a football field, and it took Gao Junshan a lot of effort to walk from the front deck to the back deck, but when he returned to the private room, the ship was already moving.

Gao Junshan walked to the door of the private room when he heard a moving singing voice coming from inside:

A few spring letters, covering the fragrance of the soul. It's hard to have a good dream, and the broken places are light red. Teaching at dusk, lovesickness is near, don't be woken up by flowers.

Zero rain. It's early and quiet. Gently divided, more than once. Painting the heart of the building, the east wind goes, and I have no choice but to accept him, and I am fortunate to be happy overnight. I'm really sick.

Gao Junshan listened to the whole song before pushing the door in, stroking his palms and praised: "Good singing!" Well sung! It's a 'good luck overnight, and it's really sad to be sick', isn't this a living willow? ”

In the box, one was playing and the other was singing, and when he heard Gao Junshan's praise, Liu Ru, who was singing, said shyly: "Your Majesty, I'm ashamed!" ”
