“…… At present, although the situation has declined slightly, I am afraid that the typhoon will return in summer and autumn, and the shipyard will be heavy, and the protection must be taken very seriously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 INFO then worked with Chinese and foreign staff to carefully survey and determine that the new site of the shipyard is located in the northwest of Ma Limit Mountain, at the junction of Yingyu Mountain, where the soil is solid and suitable for building a factory, and there is also a barrier from Ma Limit Mountain, which can block the typhoon. The younger brother wants to build three stone dams here, in order to defend the strength and consolidate it. The dam is enough to stop the raging tide. My brother is a ship master, and he is entrusted by the lives of millions of living beings, and my brother is not afraid to prepare a defense plan, and I hope that my brother will be discerning and help my brother to do it......"

After reading Shen Baozhen's letter, Zuo Zongtang's thick eyebrows, which had been twisted into two black bumps, gradually stretched out. But when he picked up Zhou Kaixi's letter and glanced at it again, he saw those words that Zhou Kaixi poured bitter water on him, and his brows tightened again.

"At a young age, this son dared to use this to challenge the old man for no reason, he is really brave and knowledgeable!"

Zuo Zongtang sneered a few times, his thoughts gradually settled, he thought about it again, picked up the pen, and began to write a reply to Zhou Shen and the others.

At about the same time, the change of location of the shipyard also set off waves in other places.

Li Hongzhang, who had been promoted to the governor of Huguang and was still assisting in military affairs in front of the camp, had just received a letter from his mentor Zeng Guofan.

"Your Excellency Brother Bao Shiren of Shaoquan Palace:"

"It is the third day of the first day of the book, copy the provincial 328th good news, Zhishou Guangmihe victory, the whole force is close to capture, and the red flag is played on the same day. After the big depression, it was immediately stretched, how fast! Reward two silver, receive your letter before Mei Yan, and say that you will be prepared for 50,000 yuan. Qu because yesterday had relieved the Ming army of 20,000, and hereby continue to relieve 40,000 under the remaining item, making up 60,000, still for Your Excellency's reward, a certain number of fixed issuance, the document to the day, such as the number of solutions, the military is a day earlier, saving countless huge thousands. Although there are many rewards, the law does not dare to be stingy. Chang Zhen Miao donation has no allotment, when trying to find it from elsewhere. ”

"I was going to go to Suozhou in the next day, but because Guo Zhongcheng set off from Su to Ning on the seventh day of the first month, he couldn't make the trip. Guo Zhongcheng said that the change of location of the shipmaster was actually facilitated by Lin Yizhe, the second son of Shen Youdan's nephew Jingfeng. The servant's heart is very strange, and he will work with others, and he will want to do what he wants, but it is already difficult, and he is tired because of his unsatisfactory wishes. This son is young and ambitious, but he can do it without being emotional, so that everything he wants to move into thorns. Look at what he does, do his best, do a point is a point, first establish a foundation, expand with Xu Tu, and be selfless, sprinkle light, and have the legacy of his ancestor Lin Wenzhong. If it is as Guo Zhongcheng said, this son can achieve the status of a famous minister in the future, you can know people, you may wish to pay attention to it. ”

"Re-ask Tai'an, all of you have to learn from your heart, and you don't have it."

Li Hongzhang read the letter carefully, and had a sense of déjà vu with the young man named Lin Yizhe that Zeng Guofan said in the letter, and he vaguely remembered that when he went to Jiangxi on a business trip, he met with his mentor Zeng Guofan, Shen Baozhen, Chen Xiang, and others, and saw this child who followed Shen Baozhen's wife Lin Puqing in the Jiangxi Governor's Office. There was also an innocent little girl playing with him, who seemed to be Chen Xiang's daughter. I remember that my wife was very fond of these two children at that time, and she also made them doll matchmakers......

Unexpectedly, after many years, the former head horn child has grown up, and inadvertently helped himself a lot!

For China's independent construction of steamships, the conservatives in the DPRK and China have not given up the attack, and the slightest trouble in the shipyard may affect its own Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, after hearing that the shipmaster suffered heavy losses from the typhoon, he has been sweating for the shipmaster, but he did not expect these unfavorable things to be easily resolved by this young man named Lin Yizhe.

Now that the "No. 1 steamship" of the shipyard is ready to start, there is no hindrance, and the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau has also moved to Gaochang Temple, which has begun to take shape and is preparing for the construction of a new type of steamship.

Fuzhou City, "Juchun Garden" restaurant.

In a private room on the second floor, two middle-aged people were talking while enjoying the scenery outside.

Looking out from the window, the streets and alleys are lined with houses, the water in the canals is murmuring, and the willows on the banks are still clinging. The street along the river is close to the side of the dwellings, and there are sometimes a few scattered mat sheds, while on the side of the river, under the willow trees, there are people who measure characters and play hexagrams, sell and sing small songs, cross talk, bamboo boards, and big drums, and all kinds of crafts show their talents...... Surrounded by piles of people dressed in different clothes, with braids of different lengths hanging from the back of their heads, each looking at it with relish according to their preferences.

"What day is it? Why are there so many people on the street? Zhou Kaixi asked.

"Today is the day when the villagers in the ten miles and eight towns around here catch the temple fair, I forgot that Lord Zhou was recovering from his illness, so quiet, he chose the wrong day, and asked Lord Zhou to take care of it." Hu Xueyan laughed, he had two locks of mustache, and a pair of black pupils shining under his broad eyebrows.

"Brother Hu laughed, I don't dare to take care of anything, you are kindly invited, how can I not do it." Zhou Kaixi looked at the table full of dishes and smiled slightly, "I have heard that this 'Juchunyuan' restaurant is the best restaurant in Dongcheng, and when I saw it today, it was as expected." ”

"Brother Zhou, where did you come from, you are a gentleman, and the general wine shop is unsightly, but fortunately, although this Juchun Garden is not a famous attraction, the dishes in it are still on the table."

Indeed, as Hu Xueyan said, this table can be regarded as a feast - Buddha jumping over the wall, lychee meat, red dregs drunk fragrant *** treasure schoolbag fish, chicken minced fish lips, pipa shrimp, purse shark fin and other local famous dishes are lined up around the table like plum blossoms and beads.

However, at this time, the minds of the two of them did not seem to be on this dazzling array of delicacies......

Hu Xueyan personally poured wine and cloth dishes for Zhou Kaixi, and the two chatted while eating.

There was a sound of piling in the distance, and Zhou Kaixi habitually turned his head and glanced in the direction where the sound came from.

"Brother Zhou is dedicated to the public and diligent in national affairs, which is admirable. Come, I'll give Brother Zhou a drink. Hu Xueyan smiled and raised the wine cup and said to Zhou Kaixi.

Zhou Kaixi was silent, raised the wine cup and drank it all with Hu Xueyan.

"The shipyard has moved to a new location, and there is no risk of typhoons, so Brother Zhou should be happy." Hu Xueyan said to Zhou Kaixi, "If something happens in the future, it will be Lin Kunyu's responsibility, and Brother Zhou has nothing to do." ”

"That's not what I said." Zhou Kaixi seemed to have the intention of provoking when he heard Hu Xueyan's words, shook his head, and said, "Ship administration is the important business of the country, and I am also a promoter, and my responsibility has nothing to do with it. He looked at the direction of the new shipyard site and couldn't help sighing, "Lin Kunyu is also for the shipyard, and his intentions are good, but he is arrogant, and he even dares to ridicule and comment on the shipyard strategy set by Zuo Gong, which is really unbelievable!" Zuo Gong's thinking strategy, how can he be known by a junior student? ”

"What Brother Zhou said is, hehe." When Hu Xueyan heard Zhou Kaixi's answer, there was a slight embarrassment on his face, but it was fleeting. He took the wine jug and filled the wine cup for Zhou Kaixi.

"The dispute between me and Kunyu over the site of the factory is a difference of opinion, not a dispute of will." Zhou Kaixi realized that he had just lost his words, and said, "Kunyu Tianzi is enlightened, very knowledgeable, and careful and meticulous, if you can not be proud of your ancestors, you can get rid of this arrogance a few points, and with more experience in the future, you will be a capable official of my Qing Dynasty in the future." ”

"Brother Zhou's bearing and open-mindedness, the younger brother admires it so much." Hu Xueyan listened to Zhou Kaixi's evaluation of Lin Yizhe, and secretly scolded Zhou Kaixi in his heart for pretending to be generous here even though he had suffered a loss, but he didn't show it on his face at all, but issued a heartfelt admiration, "The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change, no matter how he Lin Kunyu changes, it will be difficult to match Brother Zhou's chance." ”

"Brother Hu is overrated, hehe." Zhou Kaixi knew that Hu Xueyan's intention to invite him to drink today was to invite him to deal with Lin Yizhe with him, so he couldn't help laughing, "Come on, come on, drink and drink." ”

"He, Lin Kunyu, took this opportunity to show his prominence this time, and he is the nephew of Duke Shen, so everything will be good for Brother Zhou in the future." Hu Xueyan sighed and said, "He doesn't even pay attention to your promotion, and I won't think about it in the future." ”

"That's not necessarily, this son is a little crazy, and he reads books a little roundabout, but he is still a fair and upright person." Zhou Kaixi smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, he can't do such things." ”

Hearing that Zhou Kaixi just didn't go on the road, Hu Xueyan was anxious, but he couldn't find anything else to persuade him, at this time, he still had a smile on his face, but his forehead was already oozing with a slight sweat.

"Besides, with Zuo Gong here, what do we have to be afraid of." Zhou Kaixi smiled and comforted Hu Xueyan and said, "Last time, Wu Tang didn't move us, are you afraid that he will have a small assistant?" ”

Zhou Kaixi said that Wu Tang was the original governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, a native of Mingguang, Anhui, and he had always been known for his conservative thinking. Therefore, he used the power of the governor to use some anonymous letters and limericks from unknown sources as evidence to kill some shipmaster officials appointed by Zuo Zongtang such as Zhou Kaixi, impeached him for embezzlement and other things, and questioned the shipmaster's project.

Shen Baozhen and Fujian General Yinggui and others could not bear this blow that might endanger the life of the shipmaster, and they fought the basis of reason, and Zuo Zongtang, who was far away in Shaanxi and Gansu, also fought back angrily: "After Wu Tang arrived, he wanted to oppose what the ministers did, and listened to the instigation of inferior officers. In the end, Wu Tang was transferred to the governor of Sichuan, and after less than a year in the governorship of Fujian and Zhejiang, the shipping officials who were dismissed and expelled by Wu Tang were all reinstated. The imperial court then promoted Ma Xinyi, the more open-minded governor of Zhejiang, to the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. The haze that hung over the ship administration was swept away.

"Yes, Brother Zhou is right, let's follow Zuo Gong, what else is there to be afraid of." Of course, Hu Xueyan was familiar with this past, and he also laughed.

The feast was quite enjoyable, and after being full of wine and food, Zhou Kaixi got up to say goodbye. After Hu Xueyan sent Zhou Kaixi away, he looked at the remnants of the banquet on the table, stood for a long time, grabbed a wine cup suddenly, and slammed it on the floor.

Zhou Kaixi, who was sitting in the sedan chair, seemed to hear the sound of the wine cup breaking, and at this time he stretched out his hand to open the small curtain of the sedan window, and glanced in the direction of the "Juchunyuan" restaurant in the distance, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You want me to help you take over the wife, huh! Hu Guangyong, Hu Guangyong, who do you think of me Zhou? ”
