"Da Silva, you can do it." Dong Fei finished listening to Da Silva's story, and poured two more bowls of wine, "Drink another bowl, do you know why you drink this bowl of wine with you, it's because of your courage." ”

Da Silva didn't understand: "Chairman Dong, what courage do your subordinates have that are worth drinking another bowl of?" ”

Dong Fei put down the wine bowl and suddenly sighed: "Pursue your dreams and never give up." ”

Da Silva still didn't understand, and was about to ask, Zeng Guangxian preemptively said: "Old Dong, don't send your feelings, tell me what Da Silva is going to do now." ”

Dong Fei frowned: "Although I admire your courage, I really don't have any good way." This is Yulin Bay, it's the Ming Dynasty, you are a Westerner, and she is a widow who has become a grandmother, which is really difficult. ”

Zeng Guangxian was reluctant to give Da Silva too many blows: "I think you should work hard from her son's side first, isn't her son your subordinate now, as long as her son agrees, everything else will be easy to say." ”

"Sir." Da Silva took a long sip of wine, "The subordinate still wants to propose to her directly, the marriage is a matter for the two of us, and it has nothing to do with her son." ”

"Don't do that." Zeng Guangxian stopped, "Da Silva, you have been in Yulin Bay for a long time, and you should also know some about the customs of the Ming Dynasty." When have you ever seen that marriage here is a matter of two people, here, in this country, marriage is always a matter of two families, or even two families. ”

"yes." Dong Fei also persuaded, "Don't think about things too simply, Chief Zeng's suggestion is very good, get her son first, and the rest will be easy." ”

"Two chiefs, subordinates still don't understand." Da Silva looked left and right, "Marriage is a purely personal matter, and no one can interfere, not even parents and children. Marriage is not a moral issue. A person has the right to choose to live with the person he likes the most, and once he finds out that the existing marriage is a mistake, then he also has the right to make a second choice. It is cruel to force two people who do not love each other to live together, and likewise, it is cruel for two people who love each other not to live together. ”

Dong Fei patted Da Silva: "Although what you said is very reasonable, I still say the same thing, this is the Ming Dynasty." Listen to Governor Zeng's advice, this is your best choice. ”

Jiang Beiming has returned to Beijing, and after leaving Beijing for more than a month, there has been no change in Beijing. After Jiang Beiming returned, he first visited Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen, and presented a letter from Wang Fanxin and Wang Fanyi's brother to Wang Chengen.

Just a few days after Jiang Beiming came back, Wu Sangui's people found the door. Wu Sangui has returned to Ningyuan City since the end of the last war, and the purpose of his sending people this time is to discuss the construction of an arsenal in Ningyuan, which is also what Jiang Beiming promised.

The person who came was Wu Sangui's younger brother Wu Sanfu. Regarding the matter of helping Wu Sangui build an arsenal in Ningyuan, Jiang Beiming had already reported to the Military Commission when he was in Yulin Bay, and everything else was okay, what if Wu Sangui proposed the technology of rifled guns, and whether Yulinwan would give it or not. In addition, if you want to produce guns, you must use a steam engine, and the current steam engine is still monopolized by Yulin Bay, whether this thing can be given to Wu Sangui, these questions are all Jiang Beiming himself cannot decide.
