"I'm not going to go to Beijing! It's dry and dry, the wind and sand are big, and you can't do anything in winter! Daddy, do you want your daughter to suffocate to death like that? ”

In the general's mansion in Guangzhou, Guan Xiaoyu, dressed in a flag suit, twisted her waist, stomped her shoes on the bottom of the flower plate, threw a handkerchief, and kept coquettish with her father.

"It's okay if you don't go, you will have to stay at home obediently in the future, you have been crazy for more than a month, and you still haven't lost your heart!?"

Guan Yuanzhong drank his daughter, and when he saw his daughter pouting and snorting, he also sighed.

"I heard that poor acid is still involved with Li Beijiang?"

When his daughter walked away, Guan Yuanzhong asked the person who quietly entered the house.

"It's just that I taught Mengxue in Li Beijiang, so it shouldn't have anything to do with it."

That person was the middle-aged man who took over Xiaoyu at the entrance of Guangta Street, and bowed down and replied.

"Oh, then don't worry, An Jia and that Li Beijiang are having a hot fight, and he has to spend a lot of time to stand up for that poor sour."

Guan Yuanzhong's beard was half white, his eyebrows were rough, and his face was covered with a layer of faint worry.

"If you do it directly, don't worry about it."

The man looked at Guan Yuanzhong's face and said carefully.

"Eighth Elder Brother, if I can get it back, it doesn't matter. But the current situation of these elder brothers ...... I can't see through it, and I don't want to force Xiaoyu to go to Beijing, I want her to know about it, her surname is the same as her mother, you know. ”

Thinking of the old thing, Guan Yuanzhong's expression was confused, and the man snorted, no longer mentioning the matter of extinguishing the mouth, and continued to report.

"For the sake of safety, I let Huang Sandao and those few people go back to Liaodong to rest, the poor and half-dead, and there are rotten debts, and now they are detained in prison, they should have no thoughts."

"Sure enough, it's my Ma Erharrier, after twenty years, he is still so steady in doing things", Guan Yuanzhong praised his henchman, and then sneered: "He can still have a mind, that is a god." Seeing when it was appropriate, let Xiaoyu see him, completely cut off her thoughts, and then see what to do. ”

Then he sighed again: "You said that I am a dignified general in Guangzhou, and I have to cover up such a poor acid, which is really depressing." ”

The man didn't dare to interject, and Guan Yuanzhong also said to himself: "Who made us Long Live Lord iron to be a benevolent monarch, this face has to be framed for Long Live Lord." ”

Then he shook his head and said in his mouth: "Xiucai...... It's really whimsical for a poor and sour talent, not only Han Chinese, but also nothing, to want to be my son-in-law. ”

Yingde Li Zhuang listened to the Tao Tower, dozens of people gathered in the hall, a joyful and lively.

"You can call me from now on...... Li Xiucai, hehe......"

Li Xian had a villainous face, and he threw his hand towards Guan Tian and his henchmen, and everyone also called in unison.

"I'll go and tell my father and Uncle Tian that they're not allowed to call! What if the fourth brother becomes a nerd like Fan Fuzi if he calls too much? ”

In the corner, Guan Xuan bit Yan Sanniang's ear.

"He's a showman! Just like Old Master Duan. ”

Yan Sanniang hasn't been in a good mood recently, and when she mentioned Duan Hongshi, she was even more angry.

"Plus my teacher, our Li Zhuang, but it's just two showmen who can win the world."

Li Xi was still smiling, and Duan Hongshi, who was sitting firmly in the Taishi chair, also squinted with a smile.

Xiucai is nothing at all, but this is a very critical milestone in Li Shi's career. With the identity of Xiucai, he donated all the way from the Lisheng to officially set foot in the Manchu system. In the past, I wore a condom to work, but now I have to work shirtless. And everyone in Qingtian Company also thinks the same, so they are all very happy. Of course, there is still a big deviation between Li Shi's career and the career they want.

"Counting the process along the way, you will be able to get the official body within the year, but this specific position, still haven't you thought about it?"

After the celebration banquet, Duan Hongshi asked Li Shi.

"The position of the old partner has not been decided, and the cost and risk of feeding another Li Zhushou are very high."

Li Xian frowned, he and Duan Hong had arrangements for Li Zhushou, thinking of getting him to a position like Guangdong Grain Post Road and Salt Road, but judging from the news from the related households in Beijing and Master Luo by Li Zhushou's side, things were a little tricky. If there is no person like Li Zhushou to cover it, not only will he have a lot of scruples about doing things, but he will also be distracted by officialdom, which is not a situation that Li Xian wants to see.

"This Kangxi fifty-two years seems to be calm, but in fact there are turbulent waves, and the source is in Beijing."

Duan Hongshi sighed so emotionally, and suddenly asked in a daze.

"You say...... Which elder brother can win the emperor's heart in the end? ”

Li Xian stared at the old man, and said in his heart, "Have you seen through my identity as a traverser, or have you really regarded me as an immortal who has dreamed for three hundred years?"

If you think about it, you are too worried. is not only the previous flickering of the theory of Tianyan Capital, but also three beliefs in the back, and something that dazzles everyone on the object, and the casual sentence "one dream for three hundred years" is estimated to be believed by most of the people around him. Look at his teacher, looking at his gaze, he really has three points of expectation, and he actually believes in his immortal surname.

"About the Emperor, what can I dream of...... It has nothing to do with tartars. ”

Li Shi came to such a sentence, which made Duan Hongshi laugh out loud and didn't ask again.

Even if Li Xi is an immortal, he is only a god in his head, and he is not easy to do anything. For example, Li Zhushou's position seems to have stirred up the situation of the brothers in Beijing, and the force used by Li Xian Duan Hong no longer plays a decisive role, which also makes Li Xian sigh that the status of the people in the court is not high enough to affect the demeanor of the court.

Li Zhushou's affairs can only wait and see for the time being, and he himself also takes Li Shi's filial piety and enjoys it in Beijing, while Li Shi is busy with several aspects of affairs non-stop.

The technology tree has been climbing, which is the core driving force for him to stir the Manchu sauce vat with capital. Qingtian Company's Department is a science and technology research center, after a year of adjustment and combing, has been divided into several formal departments. The Iron and Steel Institute is responsible for the research of iron and steel smelting and gun technology, the Glass Institute is responsible for the development of optical glass and optical instruments, the Institute of Mechanical Engineering is responsible for the research of hydraulic manpower and machinery, and the Institute of Pyrotechnics is responsible for the research of refractory materials, especially refractory furnace bricks.

One of the key points of Li Xian's current situation is the pyrotechnic institute that Wu Yaluo is still in charge of, and when he sailed to Guangzhou and established the name of "Li Beijiang", the pyrotechnic institute completed an "amateur research" he explained: cement.

This cement is related to the Englishman Joseph in 1824. The principle of Portland cement made by Aspding is the same, that is, lime and clay plus some shale crushed and mixed into mud and then calcined into the furnace, as for whether the quality of the product can be the same as that of the British more than a hundred years later, Li Shi has no bottom in his heart, after all, he knows the principle, and the specific process has to be figured out by the craftsmen themselves. Wu Yaluo reported that the test product was mixed with water and stone to form concrete, which was "as hard as a stone" when dried, which made Li Xi very satisfied. Even if there are still shortcomings such as slow drying time and insufficient lateral strength, it is enough to support the infrastructure business that Li Xi is about to roll out. In the future, if it is to be used to roll up the public infrastructure business, it will have to work the process and cost.

After completing the process flow diagram and production line design drawing with the experimental kiln, Li Xi built a cement plant in the north of Yingde County, relying on the west bank of the Beijiang River, and Wu Yaluo was able to temporarily get rid of the identity of the old kiln worker and be responsible for the preparation and pre-production of the cement plant.

In addition to cement, Li Shi also urged the Iron and Steel Institute to study the next top-secret product, and Guan Feng, who had just sorted out the crude steel and iron smelting process, was angry and threw himself into the busy work. But he volunteered, and when he saw Li Shi's design drawings, the old furnace worker who had been interested in steel all his life was very excited. Not only him, He Gui, who was immersed in tinkering with all kinds of hydraulic lathes, was also excited, and he went to supervise Guan Fengsheng's progress every day, which provoked Tian Dayou and Mead Zheng to also throw away their work and join Guan Fengsheng's project.

Although Guan Fengsheng, Wu Yaluo and others are not famous craftsmen, they are still professionals after all, and with them, Li Xi can explain a concept and make things start to work. He wasn't too tired from climbing the science and technology tree, but in the military on Si Wei's side, a lot of hard work really cost him his life.

Since it is Li Beijiang, he has more room to work on the side of the "army". At least set up a force at the level of training under the ship, and the government will not care. Even if he doesn't set it up, the government still has to treat him as if he doesn't do things wholeheartedly, after all, he still has the heavy responsibility of maintaining the peace of Beijiang from the level of rivers and lakes. Just like the salt merchants who contract the salt business, those salt who patrol the salt are essentially the force controlled by the salt merchants.

Li Shi gave this force a local and vulgar name: the boatmen, some of them guarded the ships in Guangzhou, Shaozhou, Lianzhou and other places, and some of them traveled along the rivers with the ships, and the total number of people was scheduled to be less than 1,000. After all, this is force to be shown in public, and it can't be too conspicuous. Although there are thousands of people, they can be divided into half rotation training and half on duty, and then dispersed to various docks and ships, and finally appear under the nose of the government, that is, a group of two or three people, the same as the existence of the market patrol.

With the establishment of boatmen, soldiers could be recruited directly from boatmen, fishermen, and peasant children along the river, while officers had to be transferred from the guards. This involves a big problem, and Li Shi is not at ease with his guard. Neither loyalty nor military technology had reached the standard he hoped for, and he didn't want to be broken up.

The concept of "military science" was tumbling in Li Xian's mind because of the formation of the boatman, but after repeated examination, he could only sigh and no one.

No one has to bite the bullet, so Li Xi had no choice but to decide to transfer the careful Jia Hao to be in charge of recruiting people first, and he began to sort out the teaching materials on both the ideological and military sides to lay the foundation for future military studies.

has been working hard for several days, so that Li Xianzhi can't wait to transform into Nezha, who can have three heads and six arms. Yan Sanniang couldn't see his hard work, and wanted to share some of it, but after working for a long time, she hid her face and retreated, this kind of mental work was not suitable for her.

Speaking of which, An Jiuxiu is actually a suitable secretary candidate, but unfortunately Li Shi can't trust her yet, so he can only continue to leave her in Zhuang Xue and deal with the little girls. Tian Dayou, who already had a woman from the Peng family beside him, couldn't look at it, and shook his head when he saw him: "It's a pity." ”

Then the arrival of one person made Li Shi also have a little understanding of Tian Dayou's heart, his violent heavenly creature is not only in the past tense, but also in the future tense.

It was the brown-haired and blue-eyed little girl of the An family, Shiyixiu, who didn't have time to express any emotion about An Jinzhi's sending another daughter, and the letter handed by the little girl pressed his heart into the cold quagmire.

Fan Jin...... Woe to you.
