When Cao Shuo landed in Haixi, he trusted the county order to come to the port to greet him.

Seeing Cao Shuo get off the boat from a distance, the county commander hugged his fists and bowed and waited.

After getting off the warship, Cao Shuo rode a war horse and came to the county order accompanied by Fu Zhi and the generals.

"You are the new Haixi County Commander?" Looking down at the county order, Cao Shuo asked.

"Hui Gongzi, exactly." The prefectural order responded.

"What do you think of Hercy?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Hui Gongzi." The prefectural magistrate replied: "Haixi had suffered a catastrophe before, and since the arrival of the Shixian Order, he has only stepped into the right path, and now that the Shixian Commander has gone to Izumo, I am the Haixi Prefectural Order, of course, I want to finish what he has not done, and then rectify it according to my ideas." ”

"Don't you feel at a loss when you finish what he didn't do?" Cao Shuo said: "You must know that there will be some discrepancies between other people's ideas and yours after all. ”

"Hercy is not my own." The prefectural commander replied: "Of course, everything that is beneficial to Haixi must be done before we can start new measures." What's more, Gongzi had an order earlier, and the newly appointed officials in various places, if they do not finish the things left by their predecessors and start new government affairs, they are not considered merit all the way, and of course I will not do the stupid thing of abandoning my predecessor? ”

"Listening to you, it seems that you have a lot of criticism about this decree I have given?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Quite the opposite." The county magistrate replied: "I think this decree of the prince is timely, if there is no such decree, the new officials from all over the country will definitely start their own affairs first." In this way, all the previous opportune times will definitely be put down, and over time all the inputs will be wasted and become unnecessary waste. ”

"You see the long term." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked him, "What did you do before you became an official?" ”

"Hui Gongzi." The county magistrate said: "Before I became an official, I was just a person who read some books, and my son opened a school, and I studied in the school for two years before I was assigned to the local pavilion chief. ”

"I started with the pavilion chief." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "In other words, I can check your past political achievements." ”

"The head of the pavilion doesn't dare to say that he has political achievements." The county magistrate replied: "From now on, please ask my son to see my Haixi!" ”

"Good!" Cao Shuo's smile was even better: "Just look at me Haixi for your sentence, I will go to Haixi City to live for two days this time." ”

Fu Zhu said to the county order on the side: "You must know that Gongzi refused the invitation of the Shi county order before, and he was not willing to enter Haixi City. ”

"When Hesimon is blessed, he will prosper." The county order once again gave a big salute to Cao Shuo.

"Get on the horse." Cao Shuo raised his hand: "I only look at the results, and I don't listen to what you say too much here." ”

The county order was answered, and the horses brought by the attendants on the side were aside.

"Childe, I'm here." Fu Zhu said to Cao Shuo: "Although the navy is temporarily stationed in Haixi, the military port on the Penglai side is still under construction, and I have to step up the supervision of the construction of the military port." ”

"The Bohai Navy and the East China Sea Navy are both in Penglai?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's not." Fu Zhu said: "The East China Sea Navy is in the west of the Haixi, and the Bohai Navy is in Penglai. ”

"This landing in Izumo, although we have won many battles, it has also revealed a drawback." Cao Shuo said: "The number of people in the navy is too small, and Fu Gong still has to step up." ”

"I'll step up the supervision." Frustrated, he answered.

Cao Shuo said: "Since we are a navy, we must not only have the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea, but also the North Sea, the South China Sea and the West Sea. ”

"I understand what Childe means, but the northern sea is north of Liaodong and is not under the control of our army. The southern sea is in the hands of the Baiyue people, and as for the western sea, it is adjacent to Tianzhu......"

"I'm just saying that we can prepare now, and in the future we can take these places and build a navy again." Cao Shuo said: "The warship still needs to be improved, relying only on sails, after all, there are too many limitations. Tell the craftsmen to step up the development of propulsion facilities for use on warships. ”

"Propulsion facilities on a warship?" Stunned, he asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"Do you know why the warship is moving forward?" Cao Shuo asked.

"With the help of sails." "The warship is too big, and I'm afraid it will be ...... with manpower alone."

"The sail is just to increase the propulsion of the warship, in fact, the key to the warship is to drain the water." Cao Shuo said: "The larger the amount of water separated, the faster the water is divided, and the faster the warship will move. Of course, manpower can't propel a big ship, what I want is to add facilities to the warship to achieve greater propulsion. ”

Frustrated and blinked, looking at Cao Shuo blankly.

"If you don't understand, I'll draw a pattern when I return to Shouchun." Cao Shuo said: "When the time comes, I will send some craftsmen to come, and Fu Gong will naturally understand what I said." ”

"Childe takes a long-term view and can always think of things that others can't think of." "I'm just waiting for the pattern of the son in Penglai." ”

Cao Shuo arched his hand: "Strengthen the navy, there is a frustrated man." ”

"Don't worry, Childe." Fu Zhi returned a big gift: "I will definitely build two sea heroes for Gongzi who are enough to deal with the battle alone." ”

Fu Zhu did not follow Cao Shuo to Haixi.

With the dragon pattern cavalry and the sharpshooter battalion, Cao Shuo, accompanied by Chen Dao, Huang Zhong and others, walked towards the only city that has been plagued since Cao Shuo took over.

"The navy under Childe is strong enough, but the inland navy is still weak." Following behind Cao Shuo, Chen Zhi muttered: "If there is a war, I'm afraid the navy will not be able to deal with it at all." ”

"Uncle Zhi also found that the navy is weak?" Cao Shuo asked him with a smile.

"I found out a long time ago." Chen Zhi said: "I have never understood that the navy is not very useful, why should Gongzi devote himself to development, the water and military are not small, how can they be allowed to stagnate." ”

"It's actually a two-word reason." Cao Shuo said.

Looking at Cao Shuo, Chen Zhi didn't say anything.

He didn't understand what two words caused the failure of the water army to develop.

"Talent." Cao Shuo said: "The key is talent, we have Guan Cheng and Guo Zu in the navy, but who do we have in the navy?" ”

"Childe means ......," Chen suddenly realized.

"Without a good commander of the navy, it is impossible for me to cultivate a general who can control the navy out of thin air." Cao Shuo said: "The second-generation generals can be trained in the army, but where do I get the first-generation generals?" If we want to have a strong naval army, we must solve the generals. ”

Chen Zhi nodded and said, "What Childe said is that I was abrupt. ”

"It's always good to be able to question." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Chen Zhi: "At least you are thinking about this matter, it is much better than others who don't want it at all." ”
