Liugong Island is located in Weihai Bay, forming a natural barrier, which not only shields the bay from wind and waves, but also can build a fort on it to guard the entrance to the bay. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info so Zhang Chu attaches great importance to this place.

Zhang Chu took a boat to board Liu Gong Island under the leadership of Zhong Xiuli, and on the way Zhong Xiuli also told Zhang Chu the legend of Liu Gong and Liu Mu, and that Chinese immortals are always kind, beautiful and helpful. The Liu Gong Temple on the island still exists, and fishermen who go out to sea sometimes come to the temple to offer incense and pray for safety.

The cliffs in the north of Liugong Island are straight and steep, and the south is gentle and continuous, and the whole island is covered with lush forests, which is both a paradise of fairy mountains on the sea and a good place for garrisons.

Zhang Chu made rounds around the island and selected several locations to build forts. In the end, a suitable site for the construction of a dock was found. In the first phase, Zhang Chu planned to build two docks here that could build large warships. After completion, two sister ships of the "Caiyun" can be built here. When the construction of these warships is completed, the navy of the security forces will begin to take shape and can compete with the surrounding sea forces.

Zhang Chu announced that Liugong Island would be listed as a military restricted area and sent troops to guard it. Fishermen were forbidden to land on the island, and a large number of laborers were requisitioned to build on the island.

Zhang Chu returned to Weihaiwei, and the staff officers sent over the newly surveyed map of Weihai. According to the map and what he has seen with his own eyes in the past few days, Zhang Chu proposed a plan for the reconstruction of the city of Weihai Weishuo. After some discussion with the staff officers, the plan was officially issued, and Weihai became a large construction site, with a construction scene in full swing everywhere.

At the construction site of the city wall, the workers were full of curiosity about everything, and they did not understand why the originally straight city wall took time and effort to repair the sharp corners. And the tower in the city is so high, it takes a lot of effort for the chief soldier to climb up to see the scenery. What's even more amazing is the kind of cement that the security army brought, which glues the masonry together and is not easy to separate with a hammer. However, the workers were very energetic, and the chief soldier brought a cart of grain, and as long as he worked hard, he could receive a lot of food, and the chief soldier neither deducted nor defaulted, and his wages were paid on time every day, and his wife and children at home could eat.

The young women in the guard house were even more happy, and many people were recruited by the factory before the textile factory was built. In an open field, the master taught them how to use the loom, and although they only received a small amount of rice every day, they learned very seriously. Because they know that after the factory is built, they will be paid according to the number of products produced, and learning will not mean less food and rice. There are still people waiting to eat at home, and we must not let the food at home be reduced because we have not studied well.

Boys between the ages of eight and 12 were gathered in the examination room of the guard and divided into squads, platoons, and company battalions according to the establishment of the security forces. By that time the time for military training will be reduced, but it will not stop. In addition, some students will spend more time training than cultural classes during their school years, and they will become the reserve force of the security forces. Although the training is very hard, no one flinched, on the one hand, these children are from poor backgrounds, and the spirit of hardship and hard work is very strong, and at the same time, Zhang Chu's intimidation has played a role, who will not complete the training will be beaten with a military stick, and will also fine the parents, and if they are beaten at school, they will inevitably go home and be beaten again.

Zhang Chu has been very busy these days, each construction site to see the progress of the project, coordinate the allocation of materials, Zhong Xiuli, who often follows Zhang Chu's side, has rejuvenated, although he still has white hair on the top of his head, but he does not look a little old, and his legs and feet are very neat before and after running.

Time passed quickly, and before I knew it, more than a month had passed, and October of Chongzhen's fifth year had arrived, and the weather had become cold. With the completion of the factory, the workers have entered the factory and started production. The children were also transferred from the school grounds of the health center to the newly built school. Weihaiwei's work is on the right track, things can be handled by his subordinates, and Zhang Chu can finally take a breath.

The relaxed days didn't last long, and after Zhang Chu got up on this day, he rarely dressed himself up. After receiving the report at noon, he took a large team of guards out of Weihai City, and he was going to greet a wave of important guests.

This wave of guests were teachers from the school that Zhang Chu had transferred from Shanxi. The teachers are all literate people and pay more attention to etiquette, so Zhang Chu didn't dare to slack off at all, and saw a convoy walking towards this side under the escort of the security army.

Zhang Chu hurriedly stepped forward and stood on the side of the road respectfully waiting for the carriage to approach. The car at the front came to Zhang Chu and stopped, and the one who jumped out of the car with a curtain was lifted and jumped out of the car turned out to be a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

When the little girl got out of the car, she shouted to the car behind: "All stop, get out of the car and gather, Zhang Dashuai is here to pick us up." ”

It's been a long time since she's done this kind of thing, the convoy cooperated and stopped, and the people sitting in the car got out of the car one after another and gathered here.

Zhang Chu thought that this little girl was a messenger, so he stretched his neck to look at the first car to see if anyone had got out of the car.

"What are you looking for, brother-in-law, you don't know me." The little girl turned around and said to Zhang Chu with a very perfunctory salute.

Call me brother-in-law, when did I have such a little sister-in-law, Zhang Chu couldn't help but look this little girl up and down, and she really recognized it, and hurriedly said; "Hello sister-in-law, why are you here. It turns out that this little girl is really his sister-in-law, Li Mei's sister Li Lan. In the past few years, the little girl who used to be like bean sprouts has grown a lot taller, although she has not grown into a big girl, she has already looked like a little beautiful.

"You asked my sister to select some teachers to come to Shandong to build a school, and I won't come. Li Lan was very happy to see Zhang Chu, and the fatigue of the journey was swept away.

"Your sister is really willing to let such a little girl run such a long way." Zhang Chu wrote a letter to Li Mei to ask for someone, but he didn't expect the daughter-in-law who had not passed the door to send her sister-in-law over.

"Don't keep calling me little girl, I am now the head of this team, and I will be the head of the school you established in Shandong in the future." Li Lan unceremoniously put herself in the position of the number one education leader in the Shandong region of the security army.

"You're the headmaster?" Zhang Chu felt strange, Li Mei was a very sensible person, and she wouldn't take care of her sister.

"Of course, I am not the head principal because you are my brother-in-law, I am already a veteran in the security army, and no one understands the knowledge of the textbooks more thoroughly than me. I was unanimously elected as the head of the school. Li Lan said proudly.

Zhang Chu thought about it, Li Lan has been in the security army for four or five years, has been teaching students in the school, and is also a personal disciple who has made up classes by himself, and his status in the security army education circle is really incomparable except for Li Mei.

Thinking of Li Mei, I couldn't help but arouse Zhang Chu's lovesickness, and I don't know what Li Mei is busy with now. (To be continued.) )
