In addition to serving as a lighthouse, the Red Pagoda on the hill also shoulders the duty of watching, and the four watchtowers that were built before have now been demolished.

When their small fleet approached, the sound of bull's horns came from the village, and then a small boat rowed out of the dock, on board was a young man with three Ming archers, these three archers belonged to the Changdun Inspection Division, after seeing the city guards come out to gouge, they couldn't hold back.

"Who? What do you mean here? ”

"Go back and tell your master, Lord Zhizhou is here, come out and see you quickly!" Jiang Zhongliu raised his voice and shouted: "Go quickly! ”

His tone was very unpolite, in his heart, there was a faint hope that Yu Guozhen could treat Lord Zhizhou like he did last time, in this way, a charge of rebellion and disrespect can be planted, and after being humiliated, Zhizhou will inevitably write a letter to the Guangdong Political Division, so that the Political Secretary can mobilize soldiers to come to encircle and suppress.

In this way, although he will not get any benefit, he can let out a bad breath!

The young man on the boat snorted: "Zhizhou? Drop anchor here first, don't go ashore, wait a while! ”

"My lord, please look, the other party is so rampant, even if the adult comes, he is so rude!" Jiang Zhongliu said angrily: "The three people on his boat are clearly the archers of Changmendun, and even the officers and soldiers have to be driven by them, this person is lawless!" ”

Zhizhou smiled, and when the boat docked, he curiously reached out and touched the cement floor and the cement pier tied to the cable, and then sighed: "There are really such strange things!" ”

"Strange skills, magic to confuse the public." Jiang Zhongliu was so slanderous in his mouth, but his eyes were full of jealousy.

From the last time he left to the present, it was only seven days of hard work, but he felt that Xinxiang seemed to have changed again.

This change was brought about by those who came to help with a simple package, and after the incident seven days ago was over, even Master Jiang, who was in Zhizhou Xinzhong, couldn't help but get the news of the new Xiangyu Gongzi, and it quickly spread all over Zuojin. This is a remote place, the people's ideas are relatively simple, and the strong are the greatest, so the people who were originally on the sidelines also came to take refuge, and even the surrounding villagers came to seek refuge with land deeds and the like. In addition, Huang Shun also hired more than 200 people from several surrounding counties, and in just seven days, the labor force in Xinxiang Village increased to more than 600 people.

Therefore, in Xinxiang Village, simple wooden houses had to be built again to provide accommodation for these laborers who came to help. All the members of the teaching team, except for Qi Niu who continued to protect Yu Guozhen with a model team, were all appointed as temporary leaders, one with one or twenty people, responsible for teaching these laborers rules such as washing frequently and paying attention to hygiene in addition to work.

The abundant labor allowed Yu Guozhen to spread out several stalls at the same time, for example, in the valleys southeast and northeast of Huangniuling, and began to build dams with masonry and cement.

In addition, the layout along the Yuhong River began to be built, and preparations were made to build textile workshops and oil mills. Qinzhou is rich in cotton, paulownia, raw materials are not worried, these days, with Yu Guozhen released the wind, there have been a lot of traders holding to try to see the tung seeds, cotton transported. Although the quantity is still limited, when the workshop is actually completed, the accumulated raw materials should be able to supply for a while.

These changes are also brought by the group of soldiers, they are really working hard for the silver money promised by Yu Guozhen, Yu Guozhen promised a high price of three taels of silver for every acre of reclamation, for these soldiers, it is just a waste of strength, plus the help of cattle, on average, each person can open nearly two acres of wasteland a day, that is, about five taels of silver, that is, two taels of them are used to bribe Shangguan, each person still ends up with three taels, for them, this is worth the past month's income!

Seeing that there were more and more people coming here to help, everyone was afraid that they would not do it quickly, and as a result, Tian was driven away by others, so they did it very hard, and even lit a fire at night to work overtime, so that Yu Guozhen had to let them slow down, so as not to be really tired and have problems, so that he had to pay a pension.

It can be seen that the so-called Qin people are lazy, just because they don't have enough encouragement, and even the general Duguxing is now worried that Yu Guozhen can't afford to open up the wasteland. Fortunately, their accounts are settled every day, so at most they owe them a day's wages.

The greater the change Jiang Zhongliu saw, the more angry he felt in his heart, this guy would rather give money to those fools who don't know anything but hard work, rather than honor himself, this is really a great disrespect!

At this moment, they saw that more than a dozen riders walked out of the gate of Xinxiang Village. Although the horses in Guangxi were really overwhelmed, there was no problem with short-distance riding, and soon, these horses arrived on the dock, and Yu Guozhen's smiling face could be seen from a distance.

"It turned out that Lord Zhizhou came, and he missed the distance and looked at the sea ......"

"Alright, stop pretending." Before Yu Guozhen finished speaking, Zhizhou interrupted him: "What about the glass, did you get your glass out, didn't you say that you can look up at Sumeru and look down on mustard seeds?" ”

"Haha, Brother Mingjia is too anxious, right?"

"If you hadn't blown it so mysteriously, how would I be willing to let go of the pure blessings in Nanjing City and run to this poor country. At the beginning, you told me that some of the novelty machines were shown to me! ”

This newcomer to Zhizhou, Yu Guozhen actually recognized it, and the relationship between the two was so close!

Jiang Zhongliu's soul was scattered, and he knew that it was not good at this time, his legs trembled slightly, and when he saw Yu Guozhen's smiling gaze looking at him, he could no longer stand still, and sat down with a thud.

It's just that he is on the dock now, it doesn't matter if he falls, his body is not stable, or maybe a certain entourage of Lord Zhizhou next to him accidentally touched him, and he fell into the water. He could hear the shouts for help all around him, but when he emerged from the water, a paddle slammed on the door of his head, and he knew nothing when his head buzzed.

"You are ......" Seeing this scene, the new Qinzhou Governor Wang Chuanyu's face became a little ugly.

He likes mechanical arts, so Yu Guozhen was able to lure him into the bait with a booklet, and then through Cao Huachun, he moved the position of the governor of Qinzhou for him. From the sixth grade of the head of the Ministry of Industry to the fifth grade of the governor of Qinzhou, it can be regarded as a level upgrade.

This is a plan that Yu Guozhen made after getting acquainted with Wang Chuanyu, and it has been arranged a long time ago, and it is precisely for this reason that he is not in a hurry to collude with his predecessor Zhizhou, so he knows very well that the former Zhizhou will not stay in Qinzhou for a long time. Since Qinzhou is regarded as his most important base to build, how could Yu Guozhen not arrange manpower here as much as possible!

"This man is innocent." Yu Guozhen said: "In the past few days, we have collected some evidence, he took advantage of the fact that his predecessor Zhizhou was seriously ill and could not be a director, and he played with power, and even dared to be greedy for ink for the money used to repair Haitang. ”

What can Wang Chuanyu say, he has long heard of Yu Guozhen's arrogant reputation in Nanjing, don't say that a little master staff committed him, even if he was sentenced to Wuwei Prefecture, he was not killed by a crime!

What's more, on this road, this Jiang Zhongliu repeatedly said bad things about Yu Guozhen, he himself heard it clearly, he brought it, and also gave it to Yu Guozhen to show goodwill.

"This cement is one of your inventions? What about glass, you are talking about? Thinking of this, Wang Chuanyu was no longer entangled, and he asked curiously.

"Glass wasn't that fast, it was an epoch-making invention, like my cement...... Lord Zhizhou......"

"Let's call me Mingjia, as soon as you call me Lord Zhizhou, I feel a cold swish on the back of my neck."

This Wang Chuanlu is an interesting person, Yu Guozhen laughed: "Okay, Brother Mingjia, you are in Nanjing, and you have also seen those glasses worn by Taixi sailors, if we can make glass, we will make telescopes, look up at astronomy and look down on geography." ”

"Astronomy is still exempt, and the dynasty studies astronomy privately, but it is a felony." Wang Chuanyu said in a low voice.

"That's in the Central Plains, when you get to this Qinzhou, who knows what you're doing!" Yu Guozhen didn't care: "Brother Jia, mountains and rivers, astronomy and geography, there are great avenues in them, the imperial court can control our Ming people not to study, but can he control the Quartet Yidi not to study?" If one day Yi Di understands the avenue from astronomy and geography, and attacks my China, how can my China be controlled? Could it be that he is counting on a Li Taibai to scare the border thieves with drunken grass and barbaric books? ”

"Why ...... this?"

"Don't say anything else, the power of the Hongyi cannon, the benefits of the Lumi gun, Brother A knows more than me, you see, if Taixi Yidi passes it on to the Dongyu, or even passes on stronger firearms to the Dongyu, the court is no longer good at the benefits of firearms, Brother Jia, the Great Wall...... Can you still stop the beast cannibal Hu Lu? ”

This sentence made Wang Chuanyu frightened.

This matter is not impossible, in fact, although Wang Chuanyu is obsessed with the knowledge of various organs and physics, he is not a mediocre who is ignorant of foreign affairs, he naturally knows that with the Denglai chaos after Kong Youde and others invested in Houjin, this cannon-casting skill will inevitably be mastered by Houjin!

If Xiyi has more elite firearms and passes on to Houjin...... "No, it was almost bypassed by you, astronomical arts, what does it have to do with firearms, if Xiyi has stronger firearms, I am afraid that I will come to occupy our China, how can it be cheap!" ”

"Haha, astronomical art, how to have nothing to do with firearms, the root of firearms, is gunpowder, a famous brother, you should know, this gunpowder was originally made by my Chinese Taoist alchemy, and the firearms were also used in the war in the Central Plains by me, and gunpowder was used in the battle of Quarry Rock in the Song Dynasty, but now I cast a cannon in the Ming Dynasty, but it is imitated in Xiyi." Yu Guozhen said: "Brother A, don't deceive yourself!" ”

Wang Chuanyu was silent for a while, and finally smiled gloomily. It is indeed self-deception, if he had not lost hope in the present situation, how could he have studied these clever learnings without any intention of advancing in the official career!

"Don't talk about that, anyway...... This time I'm here, you have to pass on all your practical knowledge to me, and besides, according to the agreement, I have brought you another batch of people. He let out a long breath: "It's only been a little over a month, and it's really amazing that you have built this place on such a scale...... Is there any secret to this? ”

(Thank you for the reward~)
