The problem of ship design was temporarily solved, but Xie Hong still had no time to spare, and on the day he fooled Jiang Bin, Zeng Zheng and Lin Bai and other craftsmen also arrived in Jinzhou. 【】

Xie Hong adopted the method of breaking up the whole into parts, gradually concentrating the personnel to Jinzhou, and the first ones were the backbone personnel, in addition to the craftsmen, the excellent gunners of the Shenji Battalion, such as Wu Yongjian, also came with him.

There is no shortage of manpower here in Jinzhou, and because of the special surname of Liaodong Town, all kinds of talents can be found here, whether it is craftsmen or sailors, and there are precedents such as the Lu brothers and Lao Liu Tou, and the people of Jinzhou are also very enthusiastic.

Xie Hong's shot is quite generous even in the capital, in a poor and remote place like Liaodong, it is simply a good money boy, whether it is a military household or a criminal household, they are all rushing to it and flocking here.

In this way, Xie Hong took the backbone personnel as the core, supplemented by temporary workers, and the construction work started smoothly according to the model of the Beijing Ordnance Division, and the workshops soon had a prototype.

By the end of the lunar month, the improvised blast furnace for iron-making had been erected, which was also related to Xie Hong's thorough preparation, and his convoy brought not only cannons and personnel, but also many key components together, which once again reflected his prepared style.

Looking at the busy scene, Xie Hong also breathed a sigh of relief, and he personally participated in everything, which was much harder than being the shopkeeper, but with the completion of each workshop one by one, this busyness should also come to an end. Next, just wait until after the beginning of spring, and then you can start building ports and shipbuilding.

"Master Hou, there are letters in the capital and Liaoyang."

"Oh? At the same time? Xie Hong turned his head and saw that it was a monkey who reported the news, and asked casually, "Did you send a copy to Mr. Wang?" ”

Jinzhou is located in the middle of nowhere, even the Di newspaper is rarely delivered, Wang Shouren's own work is infinitely close to zero, after Xie Hong visited the door many times without success, thinking that it is too wasteful to put such a big talent there and idle, even if he can't get it for a while, he should find something to do.

So, every time a letter from the capital or Liaoyang arrived, Xie Hong would copy a copy and then ask the monkey to send it to Wang Shouren. He felt that the two of them had the experience of fighting side by side on the road, Wang Shouren would give some face, and things were indeed going well, although Wang Shouren did not let the monkey bring back the words, he did not refuse, obviously acquiescing in this matter.

With the previous matter of discussing the military and discussing the opening of the sea ban, Xie Hong has no worries about leaking secrets, anyway, the most confidential things have already been arranged, and the current information is even if it is to find something for the other party to do.

In case Wang Shouren suddenly has a burst of interest, maybe he can provide some advice to himself, Xie Hong is looking forward to it, the previous map can be said to be priceless, saving a lot of time and energy, and now everything is ready only to owe Dongfeng.

"Not ...... yet" the monkey hesitated a little, "Master Hou, this time the matter is a bit unusual, the mark indicated on the letter is top secret, whether it can be copied to Mr. Wang, it's really hard to say." ”

"Huh?" Xie Hong raised his eyebrows, with the monkey's respect for Wang Shouren, he would still say this, it seems that the content of this letter is really a bit strange, he didn't ask much, and immediately shook the letter open and watched it intently.

"Brother Wu gets along well with the generals up and down Liaoyang, but most of the minerals near Liaoyang are occupied by the generals of Liaozhen?" The exploration of Liaoyang was completed quickly, and the matter was indeed a little tricky, but it was not too serious, and it seemed that there was a new movement in the capital.

"No wonder!" The letter from the capital was much more detailed, and when Xie Hong saw it, he snorted coldly.

"Master Hou......" The monkey just made a judgment based on the top-secret signal on the envelope, and he didn't know the specific content, seeing that Xie Hong's face changed suddenly, and even revealed a murderous intent, he was also in his heart.

Xie Hong sneered and told the monkey the contents of the letter: "Yang Yiqing, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, who is in charge of the military affairs of the three towns, said that the three sides have achieved great results in tuntian this year, and there are frequent disasters and famines in the world, so he asked the imperial court to sympathize with the suffering of the small people and give relief. The trilateral towns of Shaanxi and Gansu asked for a reduction in grain and salary to save expenses for the imperial court and do their best...... Hehe, that's a pretty thing to say. ”

"Master Hou, when you were in the capital, it seems that Shaanxi reported a drought? And it's still a big drought, why is Governor Yang's tuntian so effective? It's really strange, and what does this kind of thing have to do with us, what is there to be secret? The monkey asked, puzzled.

Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty has long been not the Qin and Han dynasties, all kinds of disasters are commonplace, especially drought, drought is followed by famine, although the monkey has not been trained in the court, but the things in this are still clear.

"Okay, didn't people say it?" Xie Hong sneered: "Then Yang Yiqing is a drunkard who does not mean to drink, after he played the song, the government and the opposition praised it, and then someone immediately suggested that the nine sides should cite this example, even if the total number cannot be reduced, the amount of single transportation should be reduced, and when the autumn harvest comes, it will be made up again, so that the imperial court can survive this year's difficulties." ”

"Master Hou, could it be that their intentions are ......?"

"It's not for us, but for what?" Xie Hong pointed to the end of the letterhead, and sneered: "As soon as the decision of the imperial court was made, the price of grain in the capital immediately rose by three percent, and there was faint news circulating among the people, saying that the Japanese in the south of the Yangtze River were attacking from time to time, and there was a big crisis lurking. ”

"Master Hou, what should I do?"

Xie Hong's performance was not very intense, but the monkey was shocked, the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, he knew very well that Liaodong itself was short of food, when they came, the proportion of grain in the baggage was very small, and the rations on the road were basically not surplus, if Liaodong really had a food shortage, then the matter would be troublesome.

"How can the same trick work all the time? Don't worry, I have my own way, Brother Hou, you can send these two letters to Mr. Wang. Xie Hong waved his hand unhurriedly and motioned for the monkey to deliver a letter to Wang Shouren.

It was precisely because of this trick that Xie Hong had the idea of going out of Beijing, and when he came to Liaodong, how could he not be prepared? Xie Hong didn't care about this kind of expected thing, he was very concerned, what would Wang Shouren's reaction be after knowing the news.

“…… Here. Although he still had doubts in his heart, out of confidence in Xie Hong, he couldn't raise any doubts, so the monkey hesitated for a moment and took the order.

If you must define the relationship between yourself and Wang Shouren, then it should belong to goodwill neutrality, according to Xie Hong's speculation, Wang Shouren's political philosophy should be at least partly in line with himself, otherwise it will not be possible to explain his consistent performance.

Therefore, he is also looking forward to the fact that this letter from Jingshi can bring some kind of change to this relationship, at least the other party should not be indifferent.

Although Xie Hong himself felt that it was a long time, in fact, the monkey came back soon, and brought the news that Xie Hong had been waiting for a long time: "Master Hou, Mr. Wang said that if you are free, please come over to the house." ”

"Okay, great!" Xie Hong was overjoyed, got up immediately, and was about to go out, but he remembered something, turned around and asked, "Brother Hou, do you think I should change my clothes?" ”

"Uh......" The monkey was stunned by his question, and after a moment he hesitated: "It shouldn't be necessary, when I went, Mr. Wang was also wearing civilian clothes, if you changed your official robe, wouldn't it be ......?"

"Well, that's right, I deliberately changed my official robe, but I used my identity to suppress people." Xie Hong nodded, deeply convinced. However, thinking that he could finally meet this famous cow man, he was still looking forward to it, almost no less than the meeting with Zhengde, of course, that time was more sudden and weird, and it was not the same as this time.

The establishment of the factory was centered on the Nancheng warehouse where Xie Hong lived, and gradually expanded outward, except for the blast furnace, which was built with bricks and stones, and most of the others were built temporarily, which was not a good time to start construction in the middle of winter.

At present, the scale of the workshop is not too large, although the south has reached the old port, there is still some distance from the Muchengyi in the north, but this distance is not a problem at all, Xie Hong is anxious, and there is also a wind under his feet, and it will not take long to reach the place.

"This ...... Childe, are you here? Old Liu Tou was a little surprised, Xie Hong usually pulled Jiang Bin or Wang Yun when he came in order to hide people's eyes, but this time he was too anxious, but he forgot about this stubble.

"Uncle, please go and report it, and say that Xie Hong was invited to come, and please ask Mr. Wang to see him." Seeing Lao Liu's expression, Xie Hong also remembered this stubble, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it at this time, so he just signed up to see him.

"My lord said, if you arrive, please just go upstairs." Lao Liu Tou had heard the names of the champion Hou and the plague god, but he had not heard of Xie Hong's name, and he had no reaction to the name reported by Xie Hong, but he just pointed to the watchtower tremblingly and conveyed Wang Shouren's meaning.

"That's the case, thank you, uncle." Hearing this, Xie Hong did not hesitate, and walked towards the watchtower in one step, and after taking two steps, he found that the others had stopped, but the monkey still followed him closely, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Brother Hou, I'll go by myself, you just wait below." ”

"It's just, Master Hou...... "The monkey has seen Wang Shouren's skills, it is not a fist embroidered legs, although he thinks that he really puts it right, and it is still himself who wins, but with the other party's force, it is still very easy to clean up Xie Hong's words, although he respects Wang Shouren very much, but Xie Hong's safety is more important, how can he rest assured?

"It doesn't matter," Xie Hong waved his hand and said with a smile: "What kind of person is Mr. Wang, how can he be effective in doing nothing?" "Wang Yangming will be an assassin? Xie Hong is 10,000 unbelievers, so why do you need to eat so much closed door soup for yourself if you want to be an assassin?

What's more, even if there is a real case, I am not without a backhand here, of course, this thing will definitely not be used.

After appeasing the monkey, Xie Hong walked upstairs, feeling a little excited, finally about to meet this cowman, I don't know what kind of harvest he will have?
