Leaving Wu Song in the Imperial Boxing Gym, Zhang San went to Zhang Luo to buy a small courtyard, wandered around outside the sour jujube gate for a while, and finally found a good house that was about to be sold.

Zhang San and the landlord agreed to send someone to sign the contract this afternoon, there is still a period of time before Lin Chong gets married, Zhang San plans to find someone to clean up the house, change the window paper and brush the paint, and replace the broken tiles.

Back in Zhuangzi, Zhang San arranged for Li Si to do this, and he himself took Wu Dalang, who couldn't stay idle, to arrange for him to go to the canteen to cook cakes.

Zhang San is reading the newspapers that have been missed these days at home, and Zhang San can't buy newspapers in many places along the way, so Zhang San missed several sheets, and Zhang San looked at them one by one, also for fear of missing something important.

Zhang San was fascinated by reading the newspaper, the monkey suddenly broke in, Zhang San sighed, this guy is still so hot, he doesn't know how to knock on the door when he comes in? If you're molesting a maid or something, won't you be broken all of a sudden?

The monkey held a note in his hand: "Third brother, letter from Jiangnan." ”

As soon as Zhang San heard the news from Jiangnan, he immediately forgot about teaching the monkey a lesson, and hurriedly took it back to his backyard to decipher, and in less than half an hour, Zhang San cracked all the contents.

The first thing in this letter is to introduce that Ling Zhen and others have arrived at Sea Shark Island, and after a few days of persuasion, they have invested in the improvement of the ballista, and they have also begun to try to make bed crossbows, and the second is that Su Shi who Zhang San asked for has been found, and the family of the divine doctor An Daoquan has also received Sea Shark Island, and then the divine doctor gave Su Shi a prescription for recuperation, and Su Shi also set off back to Beijing on the ship of Weiyuan Dart Bureau.

The third thing is that the construction of the new ship is going smoothly, and now the Weiyuan Dart Bureau has begun to build a new branch on Guangnan East Road, which will be extended to Qiongzhou Mansion according to Zhang San's requirements.

The fourth is that after this period of exercise, everyone wants to try to annex a few small pirates to practice and practice, the fifth thing is that the carrier pigeons cultivated in Hangzhou have been shipped and will arrive in Tokyo in ten days, and the sixth is that the boss of the Guan family wants to hire a dart bureau to escort his fleet south.

After Zhang San read it, he wrote a reply letter, the first one about Ling Zhen and others must be properly placed and 'protect' the safety of these people. Since the second An Daoquan has been received on the island, he must be allowed to play the role of a miracle doctor. The third is that in addition to the waterway to the south, the Hangzhou Branch of the Weiyuan Dart Bureau is required to expand to the north.

First of all, the Wusongjiang area of Huating County, which has not been developed much, will purchase a large piece of land, and a cargo distribution center will be built there in the future, and all the stores in Yixinghe will be built wherever they are.

This is Zhang San's first large-scale land purchase outside of the capital. But think about it, this is Shanghai, it must be worth the money, and then to the north is Yancheng Lianyungang and Qingdao, Qingdao Zhang San has been arranged in Jiaoshui County, but Yancheng and Lianyungang Zhang San even know what it is called now.

After asking someone, I learned that Yancheng County now belongs to Huainan East Road and Chuzhou, as for Lianyungang, no one has heard of it, but Xuzhou to the east belongs to the jurisdiction of Haizhou, Zhang San simply asked them to find a place in Haizhou to build a storage and transfer center.

Then Yantai Port also needs one, think about the anchorage of the Beiyang Fleet in later generations, Zhang San considered whether to occupy the vicinity of Liugong Island in Weihaiwei? Zhang San carefully analyzed, in the era when there was no artillery, even if it occupied this location, it would not be easy to defend, and the Dengzhou Navy Division still had some strength or it was better to keep a low profile.

In this way, the northern route was opened, and Hangzhou became the most important transshipment center in addition to Tokyo, with Qiongzhou in the south, Dengzhou in the north, Sichuan along the river in the west, and Shark Island and Xiaoliuqiu and Goryeo in the east.

For the fourth point, Zhang San thought about it, it is true that training alone cannot train a strong soldier, this training still depends on fighting, and everyone has trained very hard in the past few months, although there are no new ships, but there is no new ship to eliminate a few small pirates, so Zhang San agreed to this request.

As for the fifth point of the pigeon matter Zhang San is more happy, with the pigeon and Jiangnan communication is a lot more convenient, the capital has already prepared the pigeon breeding center, and now the new dart line has also sent a certain number of carrier pigeons, but not as much as Hangzhou.

As long as the information between Hangzhou and Tokyo is unblocked, Zhang San will not have to worry about the other place going wrong, and he will not be able to take care of it, as for the request of the sixth Guanjia, Zhang San replied with a pen, this will wait for the new ship of Hangzhou Shipyard to be launched, and after two months of training, he will take over the work of the bodyguard.

Zhang San thought in his heart that this chapter should be about to fall, so the official of this prefect is about to sit down, then he should also calculate the account of his own board, and then the maritime merchant Zhang family will also be disposed of, as the beginning of the rise of Sea Shark Island, as for the silver treasury of Taihu Lake, Zhang San has been coveted for a long time.

Zhang San wrote a reply, remembered the matter of the Ruan brothers again, and explained that in the future, the Ruan brothers were the sailors of the dart bureau, and Zhang San transferred a group of naval generals to Sea Shark Island, resulting in no naval generals who could handle the Weiyuan dart bureau.

This is also a reason for Zhang San to recruit the Ruan brothers, although the three of them are all ordinary fishermen, but they have a good background, at least it is no problem for people to fight dozens of them in the water on the boat, and the one who wants to jump the gang is a fierce general.

After a few days, Zhang San stayed in the school, and news came from the court, Gao Yu officially took over as the captain, Zhang San hesitated for a long time and finally did not tell Wang Jin about it, Wang Jin went to the roll call the next day, and heard that the captain was changed, and Gao Yu remembered that he had beaten Gao Yu, and he was afraid that he would remember that he would ask for leave.

originally thought that the matter would pass after hiding for a few days, but I didn't expect Gao Yu to be in trouble on the first day of his tenure, just like the original book, Wang Jin was called to the palace marshal's mansion by Gao Yu, and was saved by other colleagues with fifty strokes.

Zhang San thought about it at this time, he had to go to see it no matter what, and immediately called Yang Tai and the two to go to Wang Jin's house, and when they arrived at Wang Jin's house, sure enough, Gao Yu was afraid that Wang Jin would run away, so he specially transferred two card armies to star, and the two saw Zhang San come to visit, although they didn't recognize Zhang San, but Gao Yu didn't say that Wang Jin was restricted from contacting people, so the two card armies didn't dare to stop it.
