"In my opinion, it is better to 'Wannianqing' after the maintenance in Shanghai is completed, and then go straight to Tianjin to be read, and there is no need to go back and forth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Xia Xianlun thought about it and suggested again.

"But why?" Listening to Xia Xianlun's suggestion, Shen Baozhen was a little surprised.

"It has been more than a month since the completion of the 'Wannian Qing' ship, and the trial voyage has been successful, and if you don't go north for a long time, you may have slander in the DPRK and China." Xia Xianlun said, "This time, the 'Wannian Qing' was damaged by the pirates, and the good things will definitely be used by the officials to make a fuss. Rather than sit back and wait for the slander to come, it is better not to give them the truth. After the maintenance is completed, go straight to Tianjin to be read. ”

"What Xiao Tao said is extremely true." Wu Zhongxiang listened to Xia Xianlun's suggestion and immediately expressed his agreement, "There have always been people in the DPRK and China who have questioned that the shipbuilding project is too expensive, and there have been repeated requests to stop and withdraw. As soon as this statement came out, then our ship administration was in danger, so it was better to go north to be read after repairing it, and they saw that it was a new ship, and they had nothing to say. Then our shipmaster can no longer be constrained by it. ”

"Then settle it down." After the Wannian Qing ship was repaired in Shanghai, there was no need to return to the ship immediately, and it could sail directly to Tianjin for reading. I will go to the court tomorrow and ask the court to appoint a member to inspect it. Shen Baozhen said to Lin Yizhe, "Shou Shan can't go north due to illness, and Xiao Tao and Wei Yun can't get out, my name is Tongyun (referring to Wu Dating, who was transferred to the ship administration last year) to go with you." You are a lowly official, I am afraid that you will be taken lightly, Tongyun has been promoted for nearly a year, and you have practiced everything, you have to ask him for advice on everything. ”

"Yes."

"The gun you made is very good, very good, the shipmaster will soon set up a gun station, and when you come back, the post of supervisor of this gun station will be handed over to you." Shen Baozhen said gently.

"Yes, my nephew will follow my uncle's teachings, and this trip will definitely be worthy of his mission." Lin Yizhe replied solemnly.

"You go ahead and get ready." Shen Baozhen said.

"Yes."

After coming out of the government office, Lin Yizhe originally planned to go to the "Wannianqing" to have a look, but he somehow suddenly thought of Zhou Kaixi, who was seriously ill, so he did not go to the dock, but went to the pharmacy to buy two ginseng, and then went straight to Zhou Kaixi's house.

When he arrived at Zhou's mansion, the porter saw that Lin Yizhe was coming, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he led him directly into the inner hall without reporting and came to Zhou Kaixi's sickbed.

At this time, Zhou Kaixi was lying on the bed panting slightly, and Mrs. Zhou and the maid beside him were packing up the medicine bowl, thinking that they had just given Zhou Kaixi medicine, and Mrs. Zhou saw that it was Lin Yizhe who came, and stepped forward with a smile to greet Lin Yizhe.

Seeing Lin Yizhe's arrival, a smile appeared on Zhou Kaixi's face, he turned his head and nodded slightly to Lin Yizhe.

"My master just said that Kunyu will definitely come today." Mrs. Zhou said, "My lord thinks he has a lot to say to Kunyu. She said with a smile as she moved a chair by herself, put it in front of Zhou Kaixi's sickbed, asked Lin Yizhe to sit down, and then retired, leaving only the two of them in the house.

"Why did you come so early, the shipyard is not much of a problem today? ......" Zhou Kaixi asked in a hoarse voice.

Lin Yizhe shook his head and nodded again, he didn't speak, but looked at Zhou Kaixi with concern.

At this time, Zhou Kaixi's face was sallow, his eye sockets were deep, and he looked very haggard, Lin Yizhe knew that this time he was stimulated too much, and he couldn't help but be secretly worried.

"The affairs of the shipyard have been arranged, and Lord Zhou doesn't have to worry about it, just recuperate with peace of mind." Lin Yizhe comforted, "Don't worry about anxiety, which will make your condition worse." ”

"Alas, it's unacceptable!" Zhou Kaixi sighed, "I didn't listen to Kunyu's words at the beginning, and I really regretted building this 'dual-use' ship that is not a donkey or a horse!" ”

Hearing that Zhou Kaixi was still haunted by his sentence "a boat that is not a donkey or a horse" back then, Lin Yizhe also secretly regretted it in his heart, and his original words were a little heavy.

"The success of the first steamship was that I thought that I would be able to compete with foreign ships from now on, but I never thought that even the pirate ship would be difficult to defeat." Zhou Kaixi said as he spoke, and became excited again, "It's not as good as the small soldier wheels like 'Changshun' and 'Huafubao', which shows that the dual-purpose of soldiers and businessmen is like a fish and a bear's paw, and it is impossible to have both." ”

"There is a specialization in the business, and the ship also has its specialty, and the warship has the purpose of the warship, and the merchant ship has the purpose of the merchant ship, and it should not be confused." Lin Yizhe said, "The shipyard is a start-up, there is no way forward, it is inevitable to pay some tuition, as long as you are on the right track from now on, these tuitionaries are still worth it." ”

"Having said that, but the country has spent a lot of money, but the 'Wannian Qing' has caused this appearance, losing the favor of the country and losing the popularity of the people, which can make me feel at ease in my heart!" Zhou Kaixi said, tears fell from his eyes.

"Lord Zhou must not be so sad, take care of your body." Lin Yizhe comforted him and said, "When the adults are healed, how about we change the 'Wannian Qing' into a capable warship?" ”

Lin Yizhe's words were like a thunderclap, Zhou Kaixi immediately understood what Lin Yizhe meant, and in his ecstasy, he actually sat up from the bed.

"Kunyu has been thinking about this for a long time?"

Lin Yizhe smiled slightly and nodded.

"In order to put the shipmaster on the right track, I have already saved the intention of making up for the dead." Lin Yizhe said, "I already have a draft of this matter, and I am still considering it, and if I really want to start construction, I am afraid that I will have to wait until the 'Wannian Qing' goes north to Shanghai for maintenance, and after the return voyage to Tianjin." ”

Lin Yizhe said and told Zhou Kaixi that Shen Baozhen had arranged for him to be in charge of the maintenance of the "Wannian Qing" going north to Shanghai and accompanied Wu Dating to lead the ship to Tianjin for reading.

"That's very good." Zhou Kaixi listened to Lin Yizhe's words, his heart was relieved, and his spirit was much better than just now, "I didn't listen to Kunyu's words at the beginning, I made a big mistake, and I criticized it verbally, and when I think about it today, I regret it." Zhou Kaixi said, straightened up, and said to Lin Yizhe, "I'm here to accompany Kunyu." ”

Seeing Zhou Kaixi sincerely apologize to himself, Lin Yizhe was moved, and he also stood up and returned the courtesy.

"Where did Lord Zhou come from, he killed the juniors."

Maybe he was too excited just now, Zhou Kaixi suddenly coughed violently, and Lin Yizhe hurriedly helped him lie down again.

Seeing that his cuffs and Zhou Kaixi's sheets were splashed with a little blood again, Lin Yizhe's heart couldn't help but sink again.

"Kunyu, this trip to the north is a great responsibility, be careful," Zhou Kaixi muttered, "You, like me, are both simple and honest people, and you don't have so many scheming." The official road is sinister, and if you are not careful, a catastrophe will come, so you must be cautious. ”

Lin Yizhe heard that Zhou Kaixi had something to say, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, but he was still silent on the surface.

"Why did Lord Zhou say this?"

"Kunyu, in the future, you must be careful of Hu Guangyong." Zhou Kaixi looked at Lin Yizhe and simply made his words clear, "Although this person is no longer in the shipyard and is far away from you, it doesn't mean that he has broken his mind to harm you." This person is ruthless and vicious, and there are endless tricks, which are difficult to prevent, so you must be careful in the future. ”

"Isn't it ......"

"The reason for Kunyu's drunkenness on the auspicious day of his wedding, he Hu Guangyong can hide it from others, but he can't hide ......it from me," Zhou Kaixi said, and became excited and coughed again, "It's a pity that when I found out about his trickery, I wanted to remind you, but it was too late......"

"I see! ……”

"Kunyu thinks it's because he found out afterwards, so I won't say more." Seeing that Lin Yizhe understood, Zhou Kaixi's face showed a look of relief, "Now that he has failed in his cunning scheme, and he has left the shipyard in a gloomy manner, he will not be reconciled, and he will definitely seek revenge......

"Yes, as long as I don't die for a day, I'm afraid he won't stop." Lin Yizhe sneered, "Then let's go and see!" ”

"To deal with this person, Kunyu must not act recklessly." Zhou Kaixi felt the killing intent in Lin Yizhe's eyes, and he was anxious, and hurriedly persuaded, "As long as you are careful on weekdays and don't give him the opportunity to harm others, the so-called 'if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself', and there will be a day when he will be retributed." ”

"I'm seriously ill this time, and I'm afraid my days are numbered." Zhou Kaixi sighed and grabbed Lin Yizhe's hand, "When Kunyu is young, remember to keep this useful body, and it is mostly useful." ”

"I understand." Lin Yizhe saw Zhou Kaixi's anxious and concerned look, afraid that he would be worried, so he assured him, "Lord Zhou is relieved." ”

"Kunyu must change the 'Wannian Qing' into a capable warship! ......" Zhou Kaixi said, coughing violently again, this time his voice was louder, and the maids and servants outside all rushed in when they heard the sound, and they were busy around Zhou Kaixi.

"Lord Zhou, rest in peace, I'll leave first." Lin Yizhe saw Zhou Kaixi coughing up blood again, and remembered that what he said just now seemed to have a sense of entrustment, and his mood was very heavy for a while.

"'Ten thousand years clear'! Don't forget 'Wan Nian Qing'! Zhou Kaixi fell on the bed, his eyes widened, and he screamed.

"Sir! Master! The people screamed in fright.

Lin Yizhe was secretly frightened, knowing that he might be a little unconscious at this time, so he quietly launched hypnosis.

Zhou Kaixi stared for a while, let out a heavy gasp, his breathing slowly stabilized, and his expression gradually stabilized, then he closed his eyes and lay there asleep.

"Let Lord Zhou have a good life and recuperate, and I will leave." Lin Yizhe said to Mrs. Zhou, who rushed to hear the news.

Mrs. Zhou nodded, looking at Zhou Kaixi on the sickbed, and couldn't hide the sadness between her eyebrows.

After coming out of the Zhou Mansion, Lin Yizhe went straight to the anchorage of the "Wannian Qing".
