The actual purchasing power of 20,000 pounds sterling in 1852 was not particularly clear, and for him it was equivalent to two percent of the funds for a first-class battleship.

Sigor's submission gave Lin Haijiang a sense of achievement, he no longer paid attention to the little money that Sigor treated him like a beggar, but at this moment Lin Haijiang, who has capital, has begun to be enthusiastic, and he decided to show his strength and let his capital accumulate rapidly.

It is a pity that Lin Haijiang was a soldier in his previous life, and he did not seem to have the talent for business in his previous remaining memories, Lin Haijiang was very helpless to find that even if he had start-up capital, he lacked reliable investment projects, or those projects with a long return on investment cycle and a low proportion were not in his consideration at all.

However, when Sigor sent 20,000 pounds, Lin Haijiang still made a lot of money! After instructing no one to disturb him and lock the door, he piled a large sum of pounds on the bed, and then rolled on it to his heart's content, although it was vulgar, but Lin Haijiang's subconscious still wanted to try it very much.

The next day, Lin Haijiang, who had a sore back, let Lily and Zijuan gently press their waist and shoulders, and the pain was so painful that they couldn't even get up, obviously they didn't sleep well last night, and they couldn't even go to the dock, Lin Haijiang didn't go to the dock, which naturally made Sigor very happy, at least the money was not spent in vain, and Lin Haijiang also transferred Alem away, which allowed Sigor to do whatever he wanted, and the progress of the project immediately became faster.

A week later, the refurbishment of the Phoenix was nearing the end, and during this week, Lin Haijiang almost never went to the dock, and all his time was spent talking with Alem, through which Lin Haijiang found that Alem was not only a very rigorous artillery technician, but also an inventor. Due to financial constraints, Alem was able to build only three-pound small guns, and ammunition was only theoretically designed and never put into practical research.

Lin Haijiang really doubted that the people in the Royal Admiralty and the Ordnance Procurement Bureau of the British Empire were all a group of blind people? Such a weapon of epochal significance was completely buried.

Lin Haijiang gave Alem a thousand pounds, and he decided to act as Alem's partner, which was simply a relief for Alem, and for the unhappiness that occurred during the refit of the Phoenix, he was thrown out of the clouds by Alem, Lin Haijiang realized that it was actually very simple to satisfy Alem, that is, to let him devote himself to the research he loved.

After hastily signing the acceptance form of the Phoenix, Lin Haijiang found Edward, who had just arrived in Dartmouth, with two thousand pounds. Aven, the modification of the Phoenix and the replacement of the guns so quickly were Edward. What Evan didn't expect, if it weren't for the fact that the money in his pocket had been spent by Duke Henry's daughter, Edward. Evan was reluctant to leave London.

Lin Haijiang meets Edward. The first thing that Aven said after that was Dear Sir, this was a little bit of meaning at the Attwin Royal Artillery Factory, Edward. Evan was completely stunned, although he had heard that there was oil and water to be taken from the refit and refurbishment or overhaul of a warship, but he did not expect such a huge amount of money at all.

Shocked, Edward. After Ai Wen coughed a few times to hide his embarrassment, he took a small bag of flannel cloth of about 100 pounds and threw it to Lin Haijiang and said, "Thank you for your hard work!" ”

Lin Haijiang accepted it very calmly and smiled slightly: "Thank you for your generosity!" ”

Edward with money. Ai Wen suddenly had a lot of thoughts, if he can get involved with the Duke's lady, then he has a lot of hope for his future prosperity, but after the Phoenix is refitted, he will go to sea for training, but in a week it will be the queen's birth celebration, as a nobleman Edward. Naturally, Evan understands that socializing is far more effective than fighting bloody.

Because even a general who has fought bloodily and achieved brilliant results is a barbaric and rude person, and a nobleman needs to be gentle and elegant, looking at Lin Haijiang's alternate officer uniform, Edward. Evan had a new idea.

Edward. Aiwen's new idea startled Lin Haijiang a lot. Ai Wen wanted Lin Haijiang to take his place to command the Phoenix to complete the so-called "sea training"! As a training ship, the Phoenix does not have a fixed captain, and the temporarily assigned chief officer in charge of Hailian will act as the captain. Ai Wen's request made Lin Haijiang a little embarrassed, in fact, this opportunity was what Lin Haijiang had been longing for for a long time, but he was still a little apprehensive about whether his ability and prestige were enough to command a warship Lin Haijiang.

In the end, Lin Haijiang did not immediately agree to Edward. Aven, because he knew that this kind of sea training was originally a big or small thing, but it was originally Edward who came to gild. Ai Wen didn't even want to leave the process, and only cared about going to the camp in London, which was really too much.

After returning to the residence and sending Steward Zhao away, Lin Haijiang didn't find the two little girls of the hundred contract Zijuan? When I returned to the room, I suddenly found that the two little girls were wearing the maid clothes they bought? The fragrant figure made Lin Haijiang's throat unconsciously stir.

A black lace skirt, white lace with tight legs, small black leather shoes with a round toe, and plump and half-naked breasts exposed, but this dress seems to be worn strangely?

All this made Lin Haijiang's breathing a little short, but the two little girls obviously hadn't seen or worn a dress, otherwise they wouldn't have worn all their underwear outside, which was extremely tempting.

Lin Haijiang, who had finally calmed down, smiled slightly and said to the two little girls with red faces: "You guys! How do you wear all your underwear outside? ”

"Underwear on the outside?" Hundreds of contracts purple juan bewildered mutual wait-and-see inspection? Lin Haijiang smiled helplessly: "The black tight chest is equivalent to our belly pocket!" ”

Yes! The hundred contract purple juan was so shocked that he wanted to dodge immediately, Lin Haijiang gently grabbed the two of them and said, "But I like you to wear it like this, but in the future, I only need you to wear it for me alone!" ”

For this promise, which seemed to contain the meaning of promise, the two little girls blushed and whispered: "We only wear it for the young master, you to see alone!" ”

Lin Haijiang nodded happily, but it was obviously not the time for the wind and snow in front of him, the two little girls of Lily and Zijuan were already destined to be in their own pockets, so Lin Haijiang was not in a hurry, in this era, women can be said to be men's accessories, and female surnames with independent surnames are just rare.

The happiest thing for a woman is undoubtedly to marry a good husband and have a husband who loves her, and joining a wealthy family is just a way to get her family out of the original predicament, often they are not for themselves, maybe lily and purple juan are like this.

The next day, Lin Haijiang came to the Dartmouth Naval School early, he changed from the first corporal to the Royal Navy alternate officer can be said to have broken the precedent of the college, since the modification of the Phoenix has been completed, then in addition to his own Royal Navy alternate officer qualifications for the record, Lin Haijiang also wants to Edward. Evan's so-called proposal was discussed with Director of Instruction Robert.

In the academic office, Robert saw Lin Haijiang, who looked black and thin, he looked at Lin Haijiang's Royal Navy alternate officer uniform and smiled slightly: "It seems that the biggest gain this time is you, dear Lin!" ”

Lin Haijiang smiled very reservedly, handed a box of one pound and one pound 'Maude' expensive cigars to Robert's table and said, "This is a gift from the other party, but it's a pity, you know that I never smoke!" ”

Robert was slightly stunned at first, Lin Haijiang gave himself a gift? This surprised Robert, a little guy who almost knew that he was only focused on his studies had become slippery? Robert didn't care if the cigar was expensive or not, what he cared about was Lin Haijiang's attitude towards him, which was a kind of friendship and feeling between teachers and students.

Lin Haijiang will be Edward. Aiwen's proposal was fully explained to Robert, who looked at Lin Haijiang and smiled slightly: "Edward. Evan is Edward. The son of Earl Land, let him organize the sea drill is actually just a process, nearly half of the cadets of the Dartmouth Naval School every year will not participate in the so-called sea drill, although they are nominal navy, but most of their lives are probably spent on the shore, the naval sergeant is just an identity for most people, with this status can reduce their various miscellaneous taxes. ”

The annual royal celebration is approaching, and I am afraid that the number of cadets participating in the sea training this time will reach a record low, and you are now an alternate officer in the Royal Navy, if you really decide to replace Edward. If Evan were to command this sea drill, you'd probably have to find a hundred crew members to fill the void.

After Robert finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and gestured to Lin Haijiang, and Lin Haijiang left with a smile!

Although Robert did not say it explicitly, Lin Haijiang had already realized that in this so-called sea exercise, at least in terms of the Dartmouth Naval School, there was no problem.
