Since Li Su became the emperor, he has never left Chang'an, and he has been busy all day long, and he suddenly feels a little irritable these days and wants to go out and walk around.

On this day, he called Li Dan and Du He, and proposed to go to the south for a walk, and after arranging the affairs of the court, the three of them were ready to leave.

Li Su wants to go out, and his wives and concubines want to follow. Li Su and Li Dan have already made an appointment, and the three of them will go out without their families. Go and have a good time.

The three evils dressed up as a son-in-law, only took Yang Kang and a dozen other people, and quietly left Chang'an, their target was Guangzhou.

They are going to have a private visit, so they take as few people as possible.

After they set off, Wei Zheng was not at ease and came to find Wu Cong. He said: "Director Wu, the emperor only brought a dozen people with him when he went out on patrol, this is not good, you have to send more people to protect secretly." ”

Wu Cong smiled and said: "Lord Wei, don't worry, I have arranged for a battalion of the Flying Tiger Army, disguised as ordinary people, and secretly protected the emperor on his way."

In addition, I have sent a team from the Investigation Bureau to secretly follow the emperor, and their task is to be responsible for communicating with the local government and garrison in case of trouble. ”

Wei Zheng was still a little uneasy, and he said, "Otherwise, you will take people and personally carry out the protection mission." ”

Wu Cong said: "Of course I want to go, but I'm afraid that the emperor will know about it, and I will ruin his interest in traveling." ”

Wei Zheng said: "The emperor's safety is more important than everything, what do you want to do so much?" In case the emperor blames me in the future, I Wei Zheng will bear it. ”

Wu Cong's heart was full of life, she really wanted to go. Hearing Wei Zheng say this, she moved her mind to go secretly.

Wu Cong returned to the East Palace and asked for the opinion of the Empress Qibi Wuyun. Qibi Wuyun strongly advocated that Wu Cong secretly go to secretly protect Li Su's safety.

Guangzhou was the largest port in the East, with a population of 450,000 at this time, and unlike in history, there were not so many big cannibals (Arabs) in black.

Guangzhou is divided into an old city and a new city, and the new city was built on the basis of the industrial city established when Li Su was the prince.

Entering Guangzhou, the three evils first inspected the urban construction of Guangzhou New Town, accompanied by Situ Huan, the assassin of Guangzhou.

The urban layout of Guangzhou New Town was designed and planned by Li Su himself. He saw the neat streets, beautiful greenery, and the modern atmosphere of the construction of various factories, schools, and other public facilities in the city of Guangzhou, and praised and praised the officials of Guangzhou Prefecture led by Situ Huan.

Officials in Guangzhou Prefecture had been notified in advance to keep the arrival of the emperor secret. When the citizens saw the officials of Guangzhou accompanying a young man on the tour, they thought it was a foreign guest or a noble son from somewhere, and they did not attract any special attention.

The three evils are said to be out to play, but in fact, they also have their own tasks.

Li Su believed that although the sail battleship was already relatively advanced, but with the steam engine, it would be a better choice to build an ironclad ship, and his main goal was to guide the construction of the ironclad ship.

Li Dan came to inspect the construction of the industrial city.

The Marine Corps was created on the basis of the Flying Tiger Army, and Duhe also carried the mission up to the Marine Corps.

After resting in Guangzhou for a few days, the three evils began their respective work. Li Su went to the shipyard accompanied by Wang Lishui, the director of the Admiralty's supervision department.

Guangzhou Shipyard is the second largest shipyard after Yangzhou Shipyard.

The shipyard is heavily guarded, and even the Admiralty personnel must verify and register when they enter the shipyard. Wang Lishui prepared a set of documents for Li Su, whose name is Li Jun and his position is an engineer. Accompanied him into the shipyard.

Wang Lishui often came to the shipyard, and the leaders and workers in the factory were familiar with him. Seeing him coming, the factory only sent a leader to accompany him, and the others did what they should do, and there was no such thing as the kind of revivals and crowds that later generations cheered for.

Li Su felt that this was very good, and he was much more comfortable. The factory is full of checkpoints set up by the army, and it is much more convenient to have a leader accompany the operation. He first visited the equipment and production of some supporting workshops, and finally came to the dock of the ironclad.

In the dockyard, the tall ironclad hull has been completed. Li Su and his entourage boarded the hull of the ship, and when they saw that the steam unit was being installed below, they came to the side to watch. When the technician saw Li Su and his party, he just nodded and said hello to them, and continued to be busy.

Li Su liked this working atmosphere very much, so he watched quietly in a row with the officials of the Admiralty and others.

At this time, several technicians argued about a technical issue. It turned out that there were some problems about the placement of the motor (at this time, the motor had already been developed), and everyone had different opinions and opinions, so they argued.

Li Su watched from the sidelines, and soon found that as long as the gear steering system was improved, it could be solved. So he stepped forward, squatted down, and interjected: "Everyone, don't argue, let me make a suggestion, can you see if it's okay?" ”

The engineers who were arguing were interrupted from their train of thought. Looking at the young man in front of him, he was a little dissatisfied, and said in his heart: "What do you know? ”

If he hadn't seen that he had come with the factory leaders, he would have been reprimanded.

Li Su didn't care about their dissatisfied gazes, took a piece of paper, and drew a gear transmission drawing on it. When the engineers saw it, their eyes lit up. Discuss it along his lines.

Li Su's transmission system can not help but solve the problem of motor installation, but also can fully swing the efficiency of the steam engine, and directly use the steam engine to solve the power of the original fire fighting system that used electricity.

The engineers couldn't help but be impressed by the young man. After Li Su and the others left, they also talked a lot about the engineer surnamed Li, and felt that this person was not simple.

Li Su walked around the shipyard for a long time, and was generally satisfied, but there were still some areas that needed to be improved, so he decided to live in the shipyard and solve the problem on the spot.

He said to Wang Lishui: "Director Wang, I will live in the shipyard these days, saving time by running back and forth." ”

Wang Lishui said worriedly: "It's not good, what about security?" ”

Li Su said: "No one knows my identity, and besides, there are armed police stationed inside and outside the shipyard. And Yang Kang is here, what is there to worry about? ”

Wang Lishui thought about it, but he still suggested that Yang Kang select a few masters of the palace guards to protect him.

Li Su said: "Director Wang, you can do whatever you have to do in the past few days, you don't need to come over, I will send someone to call you if you have something." ”

Wang Lishui said: "Minister, obey the order." Then he left the shipyard.

That night, Li Su stayed in a small guest house run by the shipyard.
