In the midst of the rough waves, the distant outer sea.

Shen Yue, the former master craftsman, also took dozens of craftsmen and technicians of all kinds to take a chartered passenger ship on the way to the north.

He was fifty-three years old, but his wrinkled face, cricket figure and gray hair seemed to be in the age of sixties, and only those eyes were still bright.

The experience of being framed and persecuted by others eventually harmed his health and spirit, and left an indelible mark on his body.

Therefore, in a certain explosive excitement and passion, he repeatedly fulfilled his long-cherished wish for many years - the initial improvement and finalization of the pot and mule machine (primitive steam engine), he fell ill for three months, and was finally able to recuperate.

Therefore, according to the next plan and layout, he will gradually fade away from the hard and risky R&D and practical field, and turn to be responsible for theory and operation, preaching and teaching, so as to bring out more students.

The family's plan is for him to participate in the establishment of a technical department similar to the "General Standards Committee" to standardize the production operations of larger and larger factories and workshops, reduce the scrap rate caused by tolerances, and improve the versatility of a wide range of products.

At the same time, he is also responsible for the daily review and selection, and identifies some of the inventions that come with the process of climbing the technology tree.

According to the system set by someone, in addition to the incentives and rewards and punishments of material conditions, there is also the exclusive naming right of individuals and collectives participating in the results, such as formulating a certain standard, and naming the standard after the surname of the person who made it.

In addition to a one-time benefit, this also gives you a certain opportunity to make a name for yourself. And this kind of incentive for fame and fortune is almost irresistible and ignorable for these craftsmen.

Therefore, there are now hundreds of scientific research teams under the cultivation of the Roche Mansion, among which several project teams developed by Shen Yue, in addition to the craftsman group headed by Shen Yue, there are also a considerable number of teachers and students from the Institute of Physics and Chemistry of Beijing University.

After being put under the Luofu Gate, the embarrassing situation of being able to do odd jobs and working behind closed doors has finally been greatly improved. Moreover, compared with the advantages of craftsmen such as Shen Yue in improving existing things and their experience in systems engineering, the advantages of their professional backgrounds lie in their more unrestrained and unrestrained creativity and imagination.

Under the random inspection and questioning of the little housewife in the rear, as well as the daily supervision and spur of Miss Luo San, although there is no shortage of things such as perpetual motion machines and constant mechanisms that are brain-opening because of their eagerness for quick success or quick success. However, the overall level of research and development is still on the established track.

It's just that, as a valuable scientific research group that has been collected and initially cultivated by the family, the overly colorful environment of the Guangfu government and the entanglement of interests with the wealthy families are no longer suitable for them.

Not to mention, further expand the ideas and the space to show your strengths. The upper limit, or the potential external temptations and distractions, is really endless.

It didn't matter if they were unknown before, but with the expansion of their own business, they who are gradually emerging behind the scenes will also be targeted by more caring people, and their every move will become eye-catching, which can be reflected in a series of reactions after the pot mule machine was made.

And the conscience and discipline of those wealthy crocodiles can never be counted on. What can stop them from taking advantage of the same power, or the feared interest groups, but it comes at a cost.

Also on the boat were Murong Wu, the former chief official of the Wude Division, and a group of frustrated people led by them.

And for Murong Wu, who was once a great man, this period of time was simply his nightmare and bad luck.

As a member of the Wude Division, known as the jackal and the vulture of the capital, in terms of origin and rank, it is also clearly divided into two major sources: clear and turbid.

It is not only in charge of the palace city entry and exit, Zhou Lu Su Guard, and the opening and closing of the palace gate system. Most of them are appointed by the sons of the ministers with magnificent appearance and excellent family background, and the command of the twelve regiments under his jurisdiction, and most of the elite soldiers in the country are filled with affairs, which is the envy of everyone.

In addition, he roamed the market and watched the movements of his subjects, as well as the daily situation of the officials in the army in Kinai, and also led the neighborhood officials under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture to investigate and prevent the arrest of illegal bandits.

Because of the specific clerks under the jurisdiction of the big and small family officials, all kinds of backgrounds are complex and uneven, plus they each recruit the likes of the peripheral seat probe eyeliner that cannot be registered, most of them come from the three religions and nine streams at the bottom of the society, and they are in the same vein as the turbidity stream.

It is also the main source of various negative reputations for Wu Desi in his daily life, being scolded by ordinary people who are feared and hated, such as eagle dogs, lackeys, and street tigers. Because the resources to support these idlers and wanderers are all self-raised and private, there are also all kinds of foxes and fake tigers in the name of exploration, smashing extortion or collecting people on the street.

Therefore, in addition to the actual interests within the unspoken rules, the promotion of such people is almost strictly restricted and suppressed. Basically, the vast majority of people are difficult to cross that road, from the officials of the outside to the key threshold of the officials of the internal products.

Murong Wu was one of these turbid origins. For his background as a family background, even if he has some assistance and access, he can be one of the few big family officials in a district, and he has almost reached the top.

And then there are cadres and officials who are in charge of the management of a district full-time, which belong to these positions that are not in the order of seniority under normal circumstances, and are unattainable.

It was also because he decided to retire with the private savings he had accumulated over the years in the future, and it was enough for him to be able to give him a posthumous award with years of hard work and diligence.

As for the higher-level ministry, only military attachés above the Taizhong doctor level who were born on the right path and ministers such as the inner servants Duzhi and Zhiban are qualified to serve as them.

But he was both lucky and unlucky, fortunately he met by chance and got a new rise of backers and Olympic support.

But then unfortunately he was caught in the power struggle of the wealthy and wealthy families of Guangfu, and experienced a series of tragic and joyful encounters of betrayal and disrepute, and the ups and downs of being imprisoned.

Although he has always been quite secretive and cautious, his past as a peripheral relationship and support object of the Luo Mansion was inevitably dug up and regarded as one of the first targets to be cut off as a means and steps to weaken Luo's wings and branches.

And in front of the top power headed by the public office, the power and activity ability that he, a small family official, has as ridiculous as an ant, and there is no privacy at all.

Under the persuasion and coercion of the other party, he only hesitated and hesitated slightly, and when he turned around, he was betrayed and attacked by his subordinates.

Overnight, he became the evil leader of colluding with pirates, perverting the law and selling smuggling, fornicating with the Dragon Cult, secretly committing witchcraft and evil deeds, and many other crimes.

Then the good fan who had been used by him for many years to take advantage of his authority almost couldn't wait to turn his face and deny people, and he didn't hesitate to fight back, and he took out the last bit of old ground and retreat, and he was completely in a catastrophe.

Then, in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion, because of the fall of his former colleagues and the deliberate humiliation of the old department, he was tortured and suffered. But at this point, he made up his mind instead, let the persuasion and torture, and never let go.

In the end, before being tortured in prison and dying alive, he unexpectedly waited for the news of the fall of the forces led by the prince of Chenghai. With the help and operation of Luofu, he was finally released without evidence.

But the one thing in the past is no longer a thing. His position has long been overwhelmed, and the contacts and news channels he used to operate have also disappeared with his loss of power.

After these things, he was also completely disheartened by the local cause in Guangfu, and visited some of the old family members who were idle at home and fell into the ruins because of his involvement, and divided his savings a little

At one time, he was a little enlightened, and he almost became a monk, but at this time, Roche once again extended an olive branch of invitation. And then he found out that he didn't either, and really let go of something.

With the help of Luo Fu, he found and killed the one with his own hands, wept bitterly and begged, and hysterically cursed, turned his back on his women and subordinates, and also cut off the past and contact,

He decided to accept Roche's kindness and solicitation, and went north with the ship to find another job under the Zhenfu Mansion. And with many years of experience from Chazi to a family official, he started the rest of his life in a new land.

It's just that he returned the official family, and as compensation for Zhuangzi, he pledged a sum of money, and then took the money to the door to solicit a batch.

Because, since the Qingyuan Military Mutiny, the liquidation of Jingzhao Mansion and Wudesi has caused many people to smash their jobs in the public gate, and they have to stay at home and rely on their past relationships to do something else to make a living.

Therefore, Murong Wu used this money as their settling-in fee, and it was easy to pull a lot of people to join the ranks of the north.

Of course, he also has his own little thoughts, after all, how can he be more valued and appreciated than taking a group of people with public qualifications and expertise to go to the door......

The journey and distance from Haizhou Yuzhou Port to Jiangning are not too far, so even if you sail slowly along the near shore, you will arrive at Hudouzhou at the mouth of the Yangtze River within three days.

The three-masted soft-sailed sea ships were replaced here with several large hard-sail river boats that are more suitable for internal navigation.

After I disembarked, this sea ship under the banner of purchasing and suppressing the envoy would continue to Guangfu, carrying a large number of newly smelted real gold and silver and corresponding gold and silver utensils in the name of my personal native products in the bilge, which served as a means of payment for the rear and a deposit for the expansion of the business of the Huiyuan.

Now it is precisely because of the impact of the defeat in the war, and the window period that brought about the depression and decline of various related industries, is also a great opportunity to buy various bankrupt businesses and attract unemployed people, otherwise when the imperial court makes up its mind to reorganize the market and let them relax, it will not be so easy to continue to take advantage of the danger.

My group of hundreds of people, after changing ships and supplies here, turned west all the way through Changshu, Jiangyin, Qingcheng, Junshan, Changzhou and other coastal cities, and finally arrived in Runzhou.

As the landing place where I disembarked, Jingkou, the former Runzhou town that had been renamed Dantu, was still the same as before. It's just that apart from the army and military-related things, there are still not many traces of ordinary people's homes and market life.

Then drove hundreds of miles along the riverside road by land, and finally arrived outside the city of Jiangning Mansion today, looking at the place where the dragon is entrenched under the Purple Mountain,

The last time I came here, it was still a scene of chaos and depression everywhere, but I didn't think that after a lot of time, it had become as prosperous as before.

It seems that during this period of time, as a base camp and a temporary location, it has been well managed and rebuilt.

It's just that along the way, there are still inevitably on the side of the road, some of them are ragged and skinny, obviously belonging to the displaced population, which has somewhat damaged and affected this feeling.

Even the vicinity of the temporary capital is like this, and it turns out that the life in the area south of the Yangtze River is not much better.

There are a few locals from Runzhou in my personal corps, so I let them go back to visit relatives or something, and by the way, I will check the situation in the nearby places.
