"Brother Xian, don't say that I really didn't expect him to go, now it seems that I really have to let him run again, but I have to match them with some artillery, if there is a battle on land, it will definitely be difficult to fight without artillery."

Luo Jian thought for a while, it would not be bad to let Xiao Wang run, if only Lu Wei and Zheng Chenggong were allowed to go, they would really be a little shy from doing some things.

Shi Kefa saw that Luo Jian had already made up his mind, but he didn't say anything more.

"Brother Xian, I still have to go to Yangzhou tomorrow, you should keep an eye on things here. By the way, you have to think about the candidate for Yangzhou Futai, this position is too important, and you have to arrange a competent person to guard it. ”

Shi Kefa nodded in response.

Early the next morning, Luo Jian rushed to Guazhou by boat with his escorts, and as soon as he arrived at the Guazhou wharf, Luo Jian met Liu Weimin, who was loading supplies.

"Chief, why are you here?"

Liu Weimin is organizing the transportation of the equipment that has been manufactured by the ammonia production line to Nanjing, which has been transported for several days, and some equipment has to wait for the Nanjing Iron and Steel Plant to be put into operation before production, and the production capacity of the Wuhu Steel Plant has completely failed to keep up.

The Guazhou steelworks, which have been converted into factories for smelting other metals, stopped making steel last month, straining demand for steel.

"Xiao Liu, you can arrange for others to go to transport the equipment, come to you, I have something to discuss with you."

When Liu Weimin heard this, he hurriedly beckoned someone to arrange things one by one, and then returned to his residence in Guazhou with Luo Jian.

"Chief, what's so urgent?"

"I'm going to let Xiao Wang go to Japan again, you have to prepare something for him here." Luo Jian told Xiao Liu what he meant.

Liu Weimin also heard about the Japanese issue, and now he heard Luo Jian say this, and knew that Luo Jian asked Xiao Wang to go to Japan because he wanted to completely solve the Japanese problem.

"Chief, I'll prepare some new ZHA medicine for him, and then ask Chen Zilong to prepare a dozen new rifles for him, but there are not too many bullets." Liu Weimin said that now all he can get out of it is these things.

"How much is the zha medicine?"

"A few hundred kilograms are still available. During this time, the small production line of the laboratory has not stopped, and it has accumulated a lot. ”

"Let's make all the shells, and prepare some mortar shells, all for Xiao Wang to bring, so that he will be more sure, and the rifles must be produced as soon as possible, and the three thousand people drawn from the sailors must be equipped as soon as possible. Didn't the artillery plant produce a dozen more guns? If the troops are not distributed, they will all be handed over to Xiao Wang. ”

Liu Weimin hurriedly agreed.

After Luo Jian finished explaining the matter, he asked again:

"Xiao Liu, how sure are you that after your production line is completed?"

"Chief, the most reliable method I use will be less efficient, but it's absolutely no problem, and when there are conditions in the future, let's slowly improve efficiency."

"Well, that's good. When this production line is completed, you will return to Nanjing to be mainly responsible for some surface work, and grasp the scientific and technological work. ”

"Hehe, chief, it's much better now, think about when I first came here the year before last, it was really hard! More than two years, I still trained a lot of people, although the depth is not enough, but always in the slow progress, as far as the current things, I can let go, if I get new things, I'm afraid they alone will not work. ”

"Yes, it's hard for us, it's not easy to get to this point." Luo Jian also said with emotion.

"Chief, when I settle down in Nanjing, I'm ready to get married, and I'm almost twenty-six." Xiao Liu didn't seem very excited when he said this.

"How did you find the feeling?" Luo Jian didn't care about Xiao Liu's expression, and asked happily.

"Alas, chief, the education received since childhood is completely different, and the concepts are completely different. It doesn't matter if the concept is different, you can say it, but she always endures it, the more I feel uncomfortable, I also talked to her, but she said that 'three from four virtues' is a virtue, but it annoys me to death. Liu Weimin sighed and complained to Luo Jian.

"So why are you still married?" Luo Jian asked.

"Chief, what can you do if you don't get married? She has been with me for so long, although we haven't even held hands, but how can she get married again? Liu Weimin said distressedly.

"Why don't you let her stay with Liu Lan for a while, and learn from Liu Lan's strength?" Luo Jian said with a smile.

"That's not good, she is still in charge of the laboratory, I see that she is in charge of the laboratory, why is there nothing at all when she comes to me? It's like I'm bullying her all day. Xiao Liu said distressedly.

While the two were talking, Li Yue walked in from outside the door.

"I've seen the Grand Duke!"

Li Yue blessed Luo Jian, looked up at Xiao Liu, and saw the complicated meaning in his eyes Luo Jian.

"Come on, sit down, we're talking about you." Luo Jian looked at Li Yue's expression, as if he had heard the conversation between the two just now.

Li Yue was a little hesitant, as if she didn't dare to sit down in front of Luo Jian.

"If you want to sit down, you can sit down, what are you twisting? Our chief is not an outsider. Xiao Liu said to Li Yue dissatisfied.

Li Yue sat down at this time, and her eyes still looked at Xiao Liu from time to time.

"Li Yue, you have long known that Xiao Liu and I are not people of this era, in our place, men and women are equal, and the marriage of men and women is their own decision, a young man like Xiao Liu, it is not easy to find a beautiful girlfriend like you, he has to provide you like a princess, and he is bullied all day long enough to choke and be happy."

Li Yue looked at Luo Jian in surprise, a little surprised by his words, in her thoughts, a man is her own sky, how can she be a little disobedient, not to mention that Xiao Liu is such an excellent man.

"Xiao Liu likes you, I know that, but what he likes is not only your beautiful appearance, you have to have your own thoughts, have your own career, so that you can get his respect, instead of following him in everything and relying on him in everything, do you know what I mean?"

Luo Jian looked at Li Yue, saw what she was thinking about, and knew that this was too far from the education she had received since she was a child, and she had to be allowed to change slowly.

"Grand Governor, little girl..."

"What little woman? Can't you say 'I'? ”

Li Yue was interrupted by Xiao Liu before she finished speaking, Li Yue's eyes turned red, and tears were about to fall.

Luo Jian was about to speak, when he heard a burst of talking from outside the door, Liu Weimin hurriedly went out to take a look, came back and said with a smile: "Chief, it's all here now!" ”

"Ready? What do you mean? Who's coming? Luo Jian asked suspiciously.

Before the words fell, Liu Lan came in with Xing'er on her shoulder, followed by Wang Qiang, and Liu Lan, who had just entered the door, saw Li Yue with red eyes.

"I said that you two big men are here to bully Li Yue? Why do you still make you cry? ”

Saying that, Liu Lan stepped forward and grabbed Li Yue.

"Madam, it's not the Grand Duke..."Li Yue said softly.

"Don't call Mrs., call Sister Liulan! It's not that he's bullying you, that's you? I said Liu Weimin, you are a big man, what is it to bully a woman? ”

Liu Weimin didn't speak, just glared at Li Yue, and the scene suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"Chief, how long has it been since the four of us got together? Let's have two drinks today? Wang Qiang saw it and hurriedly opened up.

Hearing Wang Qiang say this, Luo Jian realized that the four of them hadn't gotten together for more than a year.

"I'll arrange it." Li Yue stood up and was about to make arrangements, but was stopped by Liu Lan.

"Xinghua, the three of you go to cook today, a few of our sisters have a good chat, remember to get more delicious food." Liu Lan winked at Luo Jian and said.

In fact, there is a cook in Xiao Liu's courtyard, but there is no need for Luo Jian to cook himself, Luo Jian knows that Liu Lan wants to talk to Li Yue.

"Let's go, Xiao Liu, Xiao Wang, let's go out and talk." Luo Jian beckoned, and the three of them walked out.

"Xiao Wang, do you know anything about Japan?" Luo Jian asked as he walked.

"I heard, chief, shall I make another trip? This time you have to be ready, I won't be polite! Wang Qiang said angrily.

"I discussed it with the Inspector, that is, I am going to let you run again, and when the 'Yue Fei' gets out of the water, you will set off, you do some work in advance, isn't your Seventh Division already equipped with some rifles? You take these soldiers to the offshore sea to train, get them used to sailing at sea, and bring them with you. Luo Jian said.

"If I can't leave my job here, I want to go, Wang Qiang, I said that you kid can't be merciful this time! But I've got a lot of good things for you, Chief. "When it comes to business, Xiao Liu has already lost the unhappiness just now to the country of Guawa.

"Wow, the 'Yue Fei' is also going? That's great, Zheng Chenggong, this kid has been running to the shipyard every day for the past few days to keep an eye on it, and he is looking forward to the early launch of the 'Yue Fei'. Wang Qiang said excitedly.

"Old soldier Liu, why don't I bring you a few Japanese girls back? I heard that Japanese women are the most obedient, and Kyo'er manages me all day long, and I'm annoyed to death. ”

Wang Qiang said in a huff, Luo Jian was secretly amused when he heard it, one of these two people thinks his girlfriend is too docile, and the other thinks his girlfriend is too domineering, how good it would be if it averaged.

"What are you talking about, boy? We can clean up the Japanese, but we can't do what only the beasts do! Liu Weimin knocked Wang Qiang's head and said.

Wang Qiang shrank his head and shouted exaggeratedly, "Old soldier Liu, I'm joking with you, I don't dare to forget the discipline of our troops." ”

The three of them were chatting while walking outside, but Li Yue pulled Liu Lan in the house and cried.

"Don't cry, let's talk slowly, okay?" Liu Lan hurriedly comforted Li Yue.

"Sister Li Yue, did he bully you? You name it, let Sister Liulan clean him up! Xing'er said angrily beside her.

"No, he thinks I'm too obedient." Li Yue said with a sob.

"Huh?! I said, what's wrong with this kid? I see. Liu Lan said with a smile, it turned out that Xiao Liu liked that kind of savage girlfriend, and he was not very interested in Li Yue, a good wife and mother.

"I said it would be nice to change your two personalities." Liu Lan said with a smile.

"I don't change it, I finally cleaned him up." Apricot pouted.

"Xing'er, aren't you afraid that he won't want you?" Li Yue was a little surprised by Xing'er's words.

"He dares!" Xing'er said confidently, and Li Yue fell into deep thought as she listened to Xing'er's words.

"Li Yue, we hope that you will become Xiao Liu's idle helper, not to let you follow him in everything, you have to have your own thoughts, I think you manage the laboratory very well, that's your nature, right? Why do you have to be a different person when you go home? Liu Lan knows a lot about the two of them.

"Sister Liulan, I understand, he doesn't want me to be his vassal, he wants me to be myself, is that so?" Li Yue seemed to understand.

"That's right, but Xing'er, I also want to tell you, you should also pay attention to Wang Qiang, things must be opposed, girls are gentle by nature, you have to learn from Li Yue." Liu Lan nodded at Xing'er's head and said.
