"Brother Hong, is this the sea, it's so beautiful!"

The temperature near Jinzhou was not much colder than Xuanfu, and the three girls quickly adapted to it, and then they were attracted by the sea they had never seen before. 【】

Ling'er and Yue'er are both mainlanders, and although Qing'er was born in Nanzhili, she left her hometown at a very young age, followed the Xie family to Xuanfu, and had no impression of her hometown.

"Be careful of catching a cold," Xie Hong hurriedly admonished: "Don't be in such a hurry, we have to deal with the sea for a long time, and when it comes to summer, I will build a beach, and then you can go swimming in the sea, it will be much more fun than just watching it." ”

"Really?" Yue'er couldn't sit still for a long time, and when she heard Xie Hong say this, the little girl's eyes lit up suddenly, and her little head was crowded by the window, and she was eager to try.

"Well, wait until the summer ......" Xie Hong nodded, but his eyes were a little erratic, and he looked like he didn't belong.

"...... Hong" The little girl flattened her mouth, and was about to complain, but was stopped by Qing'er, "Yue'er, don't make trouble, Brother Hong has to do big things, anyway, Brother Hong never tells lies, let's just wait until summer." ”

The little girl didn't know what Xie Hong was thinking, but the careful Qing'er was very familiar with Xie Hong, and when she saw the other party's expression, she knew that he had something in his heart, so she sensibly pulled the little growing Yue'er.

"...... Hou, my lord, why are you here too?"

Port Arthur is located in the southernmost part of the Liaodong Peninsula, on a peninsula south of Jinzhou, there is a narrow passage between this peninsula and the mainland, the north end of the channel is the Jinzhou Guard, and the south end is not far from the Muchengyi.

During the time when Wang Shouren was exploring everywhere, the monkeys and others were not idle, they set up a lot of guard points nearby, and when Xie Hong and the others entered Jinzhou, the monkeys had already gotten the news, so they were already waiting outside the Mucheng Station.

Although he didn't know the reason why Xie Hong came here, he could tell the difference, and knew that Xie Hong came lightly, presumably to hide his traces, so he waited until he was close, and then nodded to Jiang Bin and the others.

"This is our main destination, and by next year, everyone will gather here, and we must do a good job of preparing in advance." Xie Hong explained a few words casually, and asked hurriedly, "Brother Hou, where is Mr. Wang?" ”

"Mr. Wang is out." The monkey was taken aback by Xie Hong's words, and subconsciously responded, seeing Xie Hong's puzzled face, he explained: "These Mr. Wang have not been idle, in the field house, he has walked all around, and he has caught who to talk to whom, and you are more like a private visit to the Qincha of Weifu than adults." ”

"Huh?" Xie Hong was slightly stunned.

It was his own choice that Wang Shouren would be deposed, without the support of Xie Hong and Zhengde, he was wantonly attacked by Jiangnan scholars, and this was the only end.

However, Xie Hong really didn't expect that when the other party came to such a remote place, he was not decadent or anything, but was still in the mood to wander around, he could only sigh, a cow is a cow, and his reaction after being frustrated is different.

"My lord, you come with me, and you'll find out by seeing." The monkey found that his explanation had deepened Xie Hong's doubts, so he simply pointed to Muchengyi and invited Xie Hong to enter, asking him to see something.

"Oh?" The shrewdness and ability of the monkey is not under Jiang Bin, Xie Hong has always known it, and when he saw his troubled appearance, he couldn't help but be interested, looking at it like this, it seems that Wang Shouren's work is there, what is it?

Is it calligraphy and painting? Wandering around for framing? Xie Hong thought about it, but he didn't know the essentials, Wang Yangming is an all-rounder, but he doesn't seem to be good at calligraphy and painting, and he can know from his concept of the unity of knowledge and action that this person is a doer, not the traditional kind of retreat reader.

The group went straight to the Mucheng Station, and the old Liu Tou, the post guard, saw it from afar, and was so frightened that he froze in place.

Wang Shouren treats people kindly, from the small talk, Lao Liu Tou already knows that the other party was originally a six-grade military director, this official is nothing in the capital, but it is great in this town.

You must know that the patrol press is already unattainable in front of ordinary generals, and the grade is only seven grades, which is two levels smaller than the main thing!

As for the reason why the other party was sent to such a place, even if Wang Shouren explained, Lao Liu Tou couldn't understand it, he didn't understand why opening the sea could make the people rich, and he didn't understand why he would be deposed if he proposed opening the sea.

But after some contact, he was convinced that Lord Wang was a great and good official, and it was a blessing to be able to see such an adult.

However, today there were bigger officials, and Lao Liu Tou couldn't tell who was coming, but seeing the armor and weapons of those cavalrymen, he was very sure that the people who came were definitely not ordinary people.

Of course Xie Hong would not pay attention to the old postman who was in a daze at the door, his heart was already full of curiosity, the other party was Wang Yangming, and the goods in his hand would certainly not be ordinary, what could it be.

Muchengyi is an earthen fort, with a fence outside, not very high, and a house courtyard inside, and the monkey led Xie Hong to the highest place in this earthen fort, that is, the former watchtower, which has now been used as a study by Wang Shouren.

"Or, let's wait for Mr. Wang to come back, I'll ask for benefits in person." When he arrived at the watchtower, Xie Hong hesitated, although it was a little simpler, but this was also a study. For most readers, the study room is a place that must not be entered, and it is very offensive to enter rashly without the permission of the other party.

If it was someone else, Xie Hong didn't care, the one who offended him the most after crossing was the scholar, and now when his name is mentioned, there are ten readers in the world who will be scolded.

But he has a heart for Wang Shouren, and he doesn't have an intuitive understanding of the other party's talents, except for what later generations know, it is what Zeng Jian said to him.

When it was said that he was training with baseball, Xie Hong thought he was very hidden, but he didn't want to be seen through by Wang Yangming at a glance, and when he heard Zeng Jian talk about it afterwards, Xie Hong was also scared into a cold sweat, and he was afraid, and he was very glad that Wang Yangming was not all the way with the mainstream of scholars, otherwise he would lose the advantage of the surprise attack, and the battle on the night of thunder and fire would be more auspicious.

Because of this, his desire to win over Wang Yangming became more eager, and he was in Jinzhou to facilitate his visit. Liu Bei invited Kong Ming to visit the thatched house three times, and after arriving in Jinzhou, the left and right are close, once a day, it is more than 300 times a year, and the sincerity of this should be somewhat lethal, right?

Therefore, when he arrived downstairs, Xie Hong wandered instead, for fear of making the other party feel offended, and then fall short.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Wang said, this thing is for you to see." The monkey spoke amazingly again, and he sighed: "When he said it, I was still strange, he made this thing, but he didn't let me send it to you, but he said that he wanted to show you, but it was just a pastime for me to lose, as a result, this thing was made a few days later, and you arrived, my lord, this Mr. Wang is really clever." ”

"Seen through again?" Xie Hong smiled bitterly and shook his head, since the crossing, his strategies have always been able to surprise, and the princes of the court and the central government are all human spirits, and they have also been played by him and Zhengde. I didn't want to go to Wang Yangming's place, the other party was so insightful of himself that he saw through his mind again and again, the cow man is really the cow man, and the name is well deserved!

"Let's go check it out."

Since it was something that was specially shown to himself, I don't think it would be anything like ink and blue, and the future saint would definitely not be so boring. Xie Hong was open-minded, not too entangled, greeted the monkey, and stepped into the watchtower.

When he arrived upstairs, Xie Hong raised his eyes and saw that the room was very simple, with nothing but a table and a chair, but it was neatly cleaned up, and it was quite bookish. Because the window was closed, the room seemed a little dim, but with Xie Hong's eyesight, he still saw a volume of copywriting on the desk, which was probably what Wang Shouren wanted to show him.

When the monkey walked to the window and pushed the window open, Xie Hong looked out into the distance, only to see the blue waves, listening to the sound of the waves, and his mind was also very open-minded.

"My lord, please look at ......" The monkey thought that he was used to seeing it, and he was not surprised, and when he saw that there was light in the room, he walked to the desk, and then spread out the scroll, pointing and saying to Xie Hong.

"This is ......" Xie Hong swept his eyes coldly, his gaze was condensed, and then his expression became solemn. He walked quickly to the desk and watched intently, feeling like he had suddenly traveled back to the afterlife.

"It should be regarded as a map, but it is not the same as the map in the army......" The monkey wanted to explain a few words, but found that the more he explained, the more chaotic it became, and finally he simply scratched his head and closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Anyway, his own Hou Ye is a star monarch who knows everything and knows everything, although the thing that Mr. Wang painted is strange, adults must be able to understand it, why bother with this heart.

"That's right, it's a map......" Xie Hong knew at first glance that this was a map, and it was a map that was very different from the map of this era.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there is a section where Zhang Song presents the map, and the dedication of the map is equivalent to the dedication of Xichuan, which can be seen how much the ancients attached importance to the map.

Xie Hong has also seen the maps of this era, but even if it is military, it is actually not exhaustive, and those who can mark the landscape roads clearly are already very fine maps, and as long as they know these for marching and fighting, it is roughly enough.

But the map that Wang Shouren drew for him was different, Xie Hong only had a cursory glance, and he knew that the other party had drawn the terrain near Jinzhou.

This is not surprising, many people who are familiar with military affairs can draw maps, even if they are illiterate, it will not pose any obstacles, and scouts such as monkeys can draw a few strokes. Most of these maps are relatively rough, at least Xie Hong can't understand it, and someone needs to guide him to outline the complete landform.

And the map in front of you is not only delicately depicted, but most importantly, it is marked with numbers!

How high are the hills, how wide are the rivers, whether the roads are smooth or not, where are the villages, and what are the populations in between...... There are all markings, so Xie Hong thought in a trance that he had seen the map of the later generations.

That's not all, Wang Shouren even divided the farmland houses on the map, and there are many relevant labels, such as the ownership of the field, the degree of fertility, and so on. In addition, the map also includes nearby mineral deposits, forests, etc., which makes Xie Hong, a traverser, have to be amazed.

Finally, Wang Shouren also listed the coastal terrain including Port Arthur, where the water is deep and shallow, there are reefs, and what kind of ships can pass.

Looking at this map, Xie Hong already knew the details of Jinzhou in this era, and it can be said that he had already completed more than half of his goal of coming here in advance. He came here in advance for various explorations and to plan ahead for a series of goals including ports and shipyards.

And with this map, things are much simpler, he only needs to follow the plan of Tu Suoji, and wait until the spring flowers bloom to start work at the same time, and the effort saved is really immeasurable.

Talent is really the most valuable resource, especially this kind of talent that can be met but not sought, Xie Hong looked at the map and kept admiring, he also had a deeper understanding of how good the cattle are.
