Gui Quanzi raised his palm and saluted, and smiled at the person in front of him: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, Brother Li Xian really didn't see Nanhai Bo's face?" ”

"I don't have to." The man with a Central Plains accent and official dialect looked dignified, and he said with a smile: "I have seen what I want to see, this Nanhai Bo, although he is a hero in the world, but in this troubled world, what he needs is not a hero, but a hero." ”

When Gui Quanzi heard him answer, he couldn't help but sigh: "I invited the virtuous brother to come, I originally wanted to seek a future for the virtuous brother, Nanhai Bo has great ambitions, and he has both talent and tools......"

"Senior brother, there is no need to say it again, the earl of the imperial court has always been at odds with people like me." Brother Li Xian waved his hand: "I'll still go back to Kai' Feng, be my shop buddy, or go back to my hometown, this world!" ”

When he had finished speaking, he strode away, turning with great determination. Behind him, Gui Quanzi let out a long sigh, while Song Siyi's wonderful eyes turned twice, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, showing his contempt.

"Siyi, are you not convinced?"

"I don't know why the master attaches so much importance to this Uncle Li, anyway, I don't like him."

"It's just that he didn't want to teach you Tai Chi when he came?" Gui Quanzi said with a smile: "This fist has a lot to do with my 32-style Wuji Sanshou, and it is ...... to learn my 32-style Wuji Sanshou."

Speaking of this, Gui Quanzi's eyes were sharp, and he saw people running in the distance, and he said "Huh": "Nanhai Bo came early in the morning?" ”

Song Siyi glanced over there, and then hurriedly ran back to Laojun Temple. Gui Quanzi turned around again and wanted to summon the Senior Brother Li back, but the figure of the Senior Brother Li had disappeared.

It seems that he really doesn't want to play for Yu Guozhen...... Yu Guozhen got the title of Nanhai Bo, which not only suppressed many people, but also made many people draw a line with him in their hearts.

Gui Quanzi is somewhat regretful, this Senior Brother Li is proficient in technical combat, and he is knowledgeable and well-read, which can be described as both civil and military, under the command of Yu Guozhen, he could have been useful, but he missed this opportunity, it seems that he can only go to the shop as his apprentice after all.

"How can Nanhai Bo be free today?" Seeing Wan Shihua following Yu Guozhen, Gui Quanzi smiled and bowed.

"I wanted to come yesterday, but I just arrived yesterday, and there are too many chores, so I can only come and see this morning...... The Taoist has a good complexion. ”

If this work is completed, then the next step is to compile a set of biology subject textbooks for the school from the first grade to the ninth grade - agriculture is the foundation of all industries, and the biology subject will have a very great impact on the large agriculture that combines agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery.

Here, I also met Song Yingxing, in addition to Song Yingxing, there were several "celebrities" who came here with them. In addition to exercising, everyone inevitably talks about some topics of interest, and under Yu Guozhen's intentional guidance, these topics all revolve around people's livelihood.

Wan Shihua has been watching from the sidelines, seeing that those who were originally full of sage books like him are now red-faced for the increase in the production of three or two buckets of rice, he has some disdain in his heart, and at the same time a little envy.

"Why can't you find such a strange place as Xinxiang in the words of Confucius and Mencius, and why is there almost no Confucian etiquette in a rich and happy place like Xinxiang?"

This problem has been plaguing Wan Shihua for some time, and it will continue to be troubled. He didn't notice his mentality, and he had changed from wanting to use Confucius and Mencius to refute Yu Guozhen's implementation in Xinxiang to how to use Confucius and Mencius to prove Yu Guozhen's governance strategy.

Returning to Xinxiang from Gyeonggi, for Yu Guozhen, it was just a matter of moving from one battlefield to another, and he had a lot of things to pay attention to, the first thing was to send reinforcements to the generals who went to run Tamna. In addition to the "Huaqing", he also organized four other Daifuku ships to go north, and the sails of these Fuku ships have also been modified and their speed has been improved, so that they cannot keep up with the Huaqing, which can reach a speed of eight knots in the wind. Therefore, the Huaqing carried 560 sailors and navy, led by Yu Dahai to the north, and the four Dafu ships were commanded by Luo Jiuhe, carrying another 300 sailors and navy to the north.

Yu Guozhen promised them that after stabilizing his control over Tamna, he would expand the navy and increase the number of combatants of the Fishery Administration Bureau to at least three times, that is, 3,000 people.

However, in order to expand the navy, it is necessary to first expand the shipyards. There are already 479 official craftsmen in the Longmen Shipyard, but this number Yu Guozhen still feels that it is not enough, and he has decided to increase the number of craftsmen in the shipyard from two channels. The first is apprenticeship, from each workshop selected from the workshop of fifteen years old and clever young people to serve as apprentices in the shipyard, these apprentices enjoy half of the treatment of the formal craftsmen, and the formal craftsmen adopt a grading system, they can be promoted for each apprentice, and their personal treatment is increased by one-fifth. In other words, if a shipwright who originally earned a monthly salary of twenty taels of silver brought out five apprentices, their salary would rise directly to forty taels!

The other channel is recruitment, the treatment of 22 taels and 1 months is still very attractive to the shipwright, you must know that since the expansion of the Huwei army, an ordinary soldier is 15 taels a month, and the salary of the captain is only 20 taels a month - of course, for the Huwei, their income is pure, unlike the shipwright or the worker, and they have to use the income to pay for their living expenses, and more importantly, the Huwei know that their future development prospects are far better than ordinary Xinxiang citizens.

Naturally, another much-needed thing for shipbuilding is the material, that is, wood. Yu Guozhen bought timber from various forces in Annam at a high price, and then dragged it to the kiln yard by waterway for drying, making full use of the kiln temperature of the iron mill, which could provide sufficient materials for the manufacture of sea ships. In addition, the extensive use of iron nails and rivets can be regarded as a progress in shipbuilding technology.

At the same time, the Iron Workshop began to develop steel keels to make technical reserves for the next generation of warships.

Yu Guozhen doesn't know all the technical details, but he knows the direction of the development of the technology, knows the general appearance, and has a group of skilled craftsmen in his hands who can be described as the strongest craftsmen in this era after he has been allocated, and has sufficient funds for them to toss, so many times, he can make technical reserves in advance.

In addition to the expansion of the navy, it is a summary of the Gyeonggi Battle. Although small-scale and low-level summaries have been carried out among the teams and battalions, a comprehensive and systematic summary has not yet been carried out. In view of the lessons learned in this battle, three very important lessons were finally summed up: first, the advantages of Huwei's firearms must be enhanced as much as possible; Secondly, the firearms unit with the help of artillery has a great advantage, so it is necessary to set up a special artillery battalion in the Tiger Guard; Once again, the role of cold weapons cannot be ignored, but the original equipment of Huwei with a musket and a long knife is a bit cumbersome in actual combat.

The convergence of these three experiences in one place is also the meaning of weapon improvement. After repeated use in actual combat, Huwei put forward a series of improvement suggestions for the "Huwei B" musket, such as the weight is too heavy, for example, the successful ignition rate of the fire rope is only about half, and it needs to be replaced frequently in the battlefield.

These suggestions for improvement were finally resolved because of the arrival of one person.

"Bi Shilang has really worked hard."

"It's not hard work, it's not hard, I can see that this spontaneous fire is really created, and I have no regrets in this life." Bi Maogeng, who had a red face, laughed loudly.

"Flintlock pistol".

It was not Yu Guozhen who solved the problem, but Bi Maogeng. Strictly speaking, it was a drawing brought by Bi Maogeng. After retiring from Zhishi, Bi Maogeng has been concentrating on firearms research, he is a weaponist, believing that to deal with the rogues and Jianjiao, the only person who can rely on the firearms of the Ming Dynasty is to deal with the rogues and prisoners. After Xiang'an saw the Tiger Guard B musket, he began to combine his spontaneous fire idea with the Tiger Guard B type, and successively drew six drawings, and finally picked out one of them for improvement with the assistance of the Xinxiang Weapons Research Institute. Although it is not very detailed, with Xinxiang's strong metal parts production capacity, it only took half a month to take out ten samples of various specifications, and finally determined that one of them was Huwei C type.

The Huwei C-type flintlock pistol was four feet seven inches long, weighed seven pounds, and was equipped with a bayonet that could be fitted with a bayonet. After the bayonet is installed, the total length reaches 6 feet 2 inches, that is, about 1.86 meters, which can be regarded as a spear. Because the chamber and gunpowder have not been improved, the effective range and accuracy of the gun have not changed much compared to the Tiger Guard, the biggest change is in the rate of fire, the original most skilled Tiger Guard musketeer, it also takes about twenty-seven seconds to complete the entire shooting process, and now this speed has been reduced to about twenty seconds; In addition, the failure rate of nearly half of the shots used to be reduced to about 105 after the use of flintlock shots (the above data comes from Sun's gun in the masterpiece "Dongning Ji" by Pheasant Sang).

"Bi Shilang has made a special contribution to this musket, and Yu will write to His Majesty to ask for credit for Bi Shilang."

"The lower officials are old, and there is no intention of revenge, please don't ask for credit, there is nothing, if Nanhai Bo can use this firearm to kill a few more thieves and injure a few fewer soldiers, Bi will be satisfied." Speaking of this, Bi Maogeng raised his eyes and looked at Yu Guozhen: "There is just one thing......

"Bi Gong, please speak."

"The drawings of this Huwei C-type musket are also bothered by Nanhai Boxian and the imperial court, and supervised by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War."

When he said this, a strange light flashed in Bi Maogeng's deep eyes.

He came to Xinxiang with Yu Guozhen on the Pillow Xia, and Yu Guozhen went to Jinling, in addition to holding a triumphal ceremony for the victorious soldiers, another purpose was to take this contemporary weapon design master to Xinxiang. After he arrived in Xinxiang, he felt that the atmosphere here was different from that of other places in Daming, and he also came into contact with some of Xinxiang's open secrets. This made him feel a kind of worry while designing and improving Tiger Weibing.

He didn't doubt Yu Guozhen's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, but Xinxiang Huwei and the people, are they as loyal as Yu Guozhen, will someone do anything to put the yellow robe on Yu Guozhen in order to seek wealth and wealth?

"This picture should be presented to the court by Bi Gong." Yu Guozhen replied calmly.
