The next day, the sky was bright, and the light brain woke up Qin Kai in a very timely manner, and after washing up and having breakfast, he settled down to think about today's things again, and after feeling that he had thought it through, he put all the silver taels around him into the money bag and brought them, and hurried to the governor's yamen on the West Street of Fuzhou Mansion.

At nine o'clock, Huang Dang came on an old horse, got off the horse and yelled at Qin Kai with a big mouth, in order to show friendship, and said as he walked: "Master Ding and Master Liu are both people from our Hunan army, so our old Huang can still speak, now Fujian is the world of our Hunan army, and you will be clever later, I will speak for you!" ”

Qin Kai arched his hand, "Thank you, Brother Huang!" ”

When I arrived at the door, I dotted the officials at the door, there was Huang Dang next to the introduction, the silver opened the way, and a government officer also took the initiative to take them in, this governor Yamen is really not small, the government asked a few people on the road, and only after turning around found a big house, a few yamen guarded at the door, and asked, saying that Master Sun had taken care of it and asked them to wait at the door.

The two waited at the door for two hours, he estimated that it was time to eat lunch, Huang Dang seemed to be in a good mood, after all, he had made a lot of money, but he was also very dedicated to accompany Qin Kai to chat, from which, Qin Kai also learned some gossip about the school and Master Sun.

This Master Sun was also born in the Hunan Army, when he was the staff of the Zuo Marshal and won the current fame, he was the number one person in the row in the governor's yamen, and the Hunan Army was both a fellow countryman and a subordinate, and many of them also had a teacher-student relationship, so when Huang was in the Chinese army at that time, he met this Master Sun, and he had the current way.

At this time, there was a burst of unhurried footsteps inside, and a team of people who looked like pro-soldiers were the first to come out of it, followed by an old man in an official robe, Qin Kai followed the surrounding officials to give a salute, the old man looked around, ignored the surrounding officials, but pointed at Huang Dang and said with a smile: "Huang Er, what are you doing in the yamen, how are the children in the family?" ”

Huang Dang saw the old man asking, hurriedly ran out and respectfully made a big salute, and replied excitedly: "Lord Xie Ding cares, the old and young in the family are all fine, and the pork that the adults gave to the little ones for the New Year has not been eaten until now!" ”

Only then did Qin Kai figure out that this was Ding Richang, the governor of Fujian, and he was secretly glad that he had taken the line of Huangdang, which seemed to be full of Hunan army forces now.

"Good...... Good ......" Ding Richang patted Huang Dang's shoulder, took two steps, and then turned back and said: "The marshal has won a great victory in Xinjiang, Huang Dang, go back and tell the old brothers, and let everyone be happy!"

"Okay, Lord Ding, don't worry!" Huang Dang is happy to arrive.

After seeing the group leave, a tall and thin middle-aged Confucian in his forties with a long beard came out of it and beckoned to Huang Dang, who hurriedly led Qin Kai in.

"Lao Sun, this is what I told you, Qin Kai, our Changsha scholar, has just returned from studying overseas and wants to get a job in Mawei Academy!" Huang Dang was quite righteous, and directly introduced Qin Kai as a fellow countryman.

After listening to Huang Dang's introduction, Master Sun turned his head to look at Qin Kai expressionlessly, and saw that although Qin Kai had no merit and fame, he was not arrogant or humble on his side, but he was a little bold, and turned his head to Huang Dang and said: "Lao Huang, don't pull my fellow countrymen all day long, the Shandong scholar you brought in last time can't pass the test with me." ”

"Old Sun, that's that, you know, I'm just a rough man, I know how to learn these things, but I'm not all for my second sister-in-law and second nephew!"

It can be seen that Huang Dang threw out a killer weapon at this moment, and Master Sun stopped talking to him anymore when he heard it, and turned his head and asked: "Qin Kai, if you want to get a job in the academy, then you naturally have some real skills." ”

"Master Sun, I have studied overseas for many years, and I have learned arithmetic, physics, and mechanics well."

"Qin Kai, if you touch this mouth up and down, everyone will say, you have to show some real skills!" Master Sun's eyes flashed, he was naturally very shrewd, and immediately gave Qin Kai a soft nail, and his words were naturally leaky.

Qin Kai took out a large envelope from his arms, handed it to Master Sun, and said, "My lord, this is a drawing of a machine I designed some time ago, please take a look!" ”

Master Sun is an old official who has been with the Minister of Shipping for two terms, and has handled the selection of foreign teachers, even if it is to give you a machine to draw drawings in this era, it is also a very advanced knowledge, not to mention this self-designed machine, he was stunned in his heart, and then looked at Qin Kai seriously a few times, nodded slightly, and then opened the envelope and took out the large white paper inside. ,

"What kind of machine is this?"

"Master Sun, this is a mechanical grinder!"

"Hmmm! What's the use? ”

"Polishing the inner chamber of a cannon, and you can also polish the outer wall of a gun and parts!"

Hearing the word "cannon", Master Sun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately spread the picture on the table, "Qin Kai, you show me, how to polish this machine?" ”

Qin Kai pointed to the fixed shaft and the frame that fixed the car parts, and explained it a little, Master Sun also understood the principle, of course, this complex machine is used to control the machine tool to polish steadily, these Master Sun didn't want to understand, what he can be sure of now is that this Qin Kai does have some ability, and this ability is exactly what Governor Ding urgently needs now.

"Excellent! Very good! Master Sun walked back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back, then sat down and thought about it, "Qin Kai, are you sure to make this machine?" ”

"If you have the right lathe, you can be sure!"

At this time, Master Sun couldn't control himself a little, stood up and turned around twice, and then came to Qin Kai's side and patted him on the shoulder very affectionately, "Qin Kai, you wait outside first, this matter is ...... I'm going to recommend you personally! ”

After waiting outside for a while, Master Sun and Huang Dang came out with smiles on their faces, and told Qin Kai again, and Qin Kai and Huang Dang said goodbye and left.

Out of the yamen, Huang Dang hurriedly pulled Qin Kai aside, and asked nervously: "Little brother Qin, Master Sun said just now, if it is based on your ability, this matter is nine out of ten, my brother has something I want to ask you to help me......

This guy's eyes were wide, if it weren't for Qin Kai's great certainty that this guy was not a robber, and he really thought that this guy was going to rob him of the 50 taels of silver, he stood up straight and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, I don't have your help, how can I do it, you say!" What's the matter! I've got that ability to help! ”

"Little Brother Qin, what a refreshing person!"

Qin Kai muttered secretly in his heart, it's refreshing for you to grab our 45 taels of silver, but this guy seems to be righteous at the moment, so it's just so-so, "Say, Brother Huang, what's the matter?" ”

"I have a kid, only 14 years old, I want him to learn some skills from you, and when he grows up, he doesn't have to think about me to join the army, take his life to make a name for himself, can he succeed?"

It's just such a thing, and it's so exaggerated! Qin Kai looked at Huang Dang's exaggerated expression, he thought about it, and responded with a full mouth, and when the two broke up, the relationship between the two seemed to be a little hotter.

Master Sun is hurrying to the official residence of Governor Ding Richang at this time, although he is now only a staff member of the Governor Yamen, he has the official title of Judge from Liupin, but over the years, because he has only dealt with daily government affairs, he has naturally been promoted very slowly, and now this opportunity from the sky has made him see the hope of continuing to be promoted.

The current governor Ding Richang can be said to be a hot figure in all factions in the DPRK and China, and the bigwigs Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang in the DPRK and China regard him as a cadre, although there are many frictions between the Hunan army and the Huai army, but the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and the Mawei Shipbuilding School set up by the two factions have unanimously recognized his handling.

Soon, in the living room of the governor's residence, Ding Richang summoned Master Sun, the governor seemed to have a bad complexion, as an old official around him, the meeting was quite casual.

"Sun Fu, what is it, can't you report it when you discuss it before?"

"My lord, I just confirmed this matter, and I feel that this matter is not trivial, so I specially rushed to report it!" Master Sun explained respectfully.

"Oh! Then let's talk about it quickly, the British are making trouble again......" Ding Richang looked tired, obviously disgusted by dealing with these foreigners' misdeeds.

Master Sun hurriedly took out the envelope and presented it, and said, "My lord, today I found a student who returned from abroad, and he presented the drawings of his own design, according to him, this machine can polish the inner chamber of the cast cannon. ”

"Oh......" Ding Richang is an expert who has personally supervised the production of artillery, and naturally understands that the key to the casting of this artillery lies in the polishing of the inner chamber, and now the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has the ability to manufacture artillery, but the polishing of the inner chamber depends on the personal operation level of the workers to control the polishing level, so the product quality is very different, and the output is also limited.

He immediately took the drawings and looked at them carefully, Master Sun relayed Qin Kai's explanation beside him, his expression became more and more pleasant, and after thinking for a moment, he immediately ordered: "You have done a good job in this matter, I will soon go to Governor Wenshan to discuss the matter of the British occupying the people's land, early tomorrow morning, I want to meet this young man, Sun Fu, if this machine can be made out, the old man will personally ask for credit for you, with this sharp weapon, I can also produce all-steel Western cannons in the Qing Dynasty." ”

"My lord, I'm going to do this, besides, there is another thing about this foreign student Qin Kai......" Master Sun is very good at choosing the right time when he speaks.

"Sun Fu, say! Why are you still hiding it......"

"He had been to the Mawei Ship Master School before, and the golden fat man who was in charge of learning rejected this person, I think the golden fat man is jealous and jealous......"

Ding Richang waved his hand and interrupted Master Sun's words, "Okay, Sun Fu, Jin Wu you also know, you still need to see the master to beat the dog, I know about this, this Qin Kai intends to be an instructor in Mawei Academy?" ”
