Four, seven, eight peers came

"Re-establish the Northern Fleet? …… These guys are really boring. Where are the novels updated the fastest? Please look for the biquge.info of Aishang Novel Network"

While the group on the Princess was discussing the matter, Ade, who was in the office of the Qiongzhou Mansion on Hainan Island, was also looking at the briefing sent by the committee to the members, in which the matter of splitting the fleet and strengthening it separately was officially put on the agenda for discussion - in fact, if it were not for the two eunuchs who suddenly came and led Julie to put the establishment of the northern branch of the trading company in front of him, the first major event to be discussed by the committee after the new year would have been about it.

However, Ade also expected this, and long before the re-election of this committee, the previous members had reached a consensus that the strength of the navy would inevitably increase. The territory controlled by the Qiong Navy is dominated by islands, and its strategic mobility is mainly dependent on the navy. In the past, we focused on developing the army, but there was no way -- we had to ensure our own security first. After all, the army is the foundation, and it is useless to defend the island without more troops.

By now, the strength of the three infantry regiments was enough to ensure their invincibility on land, and the corresponding transportation support and mobility capabilities naturally had to be put on the agenda. According to the long-term plan of the staff group, the size of the navy in the future will be at least the same as that of the army, and even larger.

Dividing it into two fleets, the north and the south, is now only the first step in the plan, and as with the expansion of the army, the shelves will be erected first, and then new personnel will be recruited, new equipment will be provided, and it will be further consolidated and expanded until it can guarantee the completion of the tasks it has undertaken, and even has the potential for further expansion.

It's just that the expansion of the navy is more difficult than that of the army, and in addition to the same number of troops and light weapons as the army, the deployment rate of ships and artillery is much higher than that of the army. Fortunately, this time Wang Ruobin has also entered the committee, and it is natural that the shipyard department will get more resources to tilt and enter a period of great development......

As for such trivial matters as the name of the fleet, Zhao Lide was not interested at all. What is in the South and North Seas, probably only people who are particularly concerned about the history of the First Sino-Japanese War will take it to heart. As long as the fleet is strong enough, what is the name......

"Whatever you call it, as long as it's not called the Combined Fleet."

Ade casually wrote down his opinion on the briefing. At this time, I heard someone knocking lightly at the door and said please come in, and the clerk in the service room at the door walked in with two posts:

"Captain Zhao, someone has come to visit you."

-- Since Ao Sayan left, Ade took over the post of captain of the Chengguan Brigade, and he wanted to change the name of the "Chengguan Brigade" to the "Chengguan Bureau" several times, so that he could be justified by being called "Zhao Bureau", but unfortunately no one in the previous committee supported his idea, and this ...... I haven't bothered to discuss it yet.

picked up the post and looked at it, but it was actually two Jinyi Wei Qianhu, Zhou Sheng and Liao Yong. Ade couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart that these buddies are worthy of being peers, and they are indeed acquaintances - Zhou Sheng was invited to drink coffee once in Lingao last time, and now he is much smarter. When I came to Hainan, I first handed over the post to say hello, which is like respecting the landlord's expression.

So I came to the reception room with the clerk, and sure enough, I saw Zhou Sheng and Liao Yong sitting on the sofa waiting, both of them were wearing the official uniforms of the Ming brocade guard, the flying fish suit, but there was no embroidered spring knife on the waist, but a piece of jade pendant was hung as a decoration. He also wore a black gauze crown on his head, and he was wearing foundation black court boots under his feet, and his clothes and boots and hats were all new. And even though the two of them were sitting on the sofa, they both straightened their backs and looked solemn.

Ade looked at this posture outside the window, thought about it, returned to the office first, changed the crewneck shirt on his body into more formal guest clothes, and then walked into the living room:

"Ha, Zhou Qianhu, Liao Qianhu, welcome!"

It seems a little strange that a man in a suit and two people in a Ming Dynasty flying fish costume shake hands with each other, but several of the parties involved don't feel anything - as the power of Qionghai Town expands, their cultural habits also expand to all sides. Nowadays, suits and leather shoes are no longer fancy clothes in the eyes of southerners, and many fashionable young men will prepare such an outfit, which can be worn on the body when young people gather to guide Fang Xuan, which feels much more heroic than wearing a long shirt and a folding fan. It's just that the long hair is still retained, and some of the bold ones are quietly cut to shoulder length, and they can still be braided in a small bun when they need to deal with the family. In normal times, it is draped over the shoulders, which is a bit of a revolutionary party before the Xinhai Revolution.

In terms of women's clothing, the spread is more rapid, Western-style large pleated skirts are used by many rich and noble women as formal wear to attend important occasions, but the faster and faster in the folk circulation is the cheongsam - this kind of extremely can set off the Oriental women's body lines once spread, almost immediately swept the fashion industry in the south of the Ming Dynasty. Originally, if the palace clothes of the Ming Dynasty were dressed well, they could also set off the figure, but the palace clothes were restricted by many rules, and the people could not wear much, and they had to be combined with the hair bun and headdress. The cheongsam does not have these troubles, and wearing a cheongsam in the southern region is much lighter and cooler than a heavy palace dress.

As a result, on Hainan Island today, men tend to wear suits and shawls, while women mostly wear cheongsams and comb simple small plates of incense buns, and most of the occupations that work for people usually wear single-shirted robes - such as the orderly clerk who is currently busy pouring water and making tea in the reception room. Therefore, if there is a group of modern people who come here at this time, they may not think that this is in the late Ming Dynasty when they see this kind of costume, but they are likely to think that it is the end of the Qing Dynasty.

…… Getting back to the point, and said that Zhao Lide and Zhou Sheng and Liao Yong officially met the ceremony, and the other party made it clear what he meant, but he was actually transferred by order - Zhou Sheng was officially appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households of Qiongzhou Mansion, and Liao Yong was sent to Luzon Island even further. These two also knew that it was impossible to carry out any secret work under the nose of Qiong Haijun, especially the Captain Zhao in front of them, so they simply came to visit in the light to say hello.

During the conversation, Zhou Sheng and Liao Yong repeatedly explained to Zhao Lide that the function of their Jinyi Wei was to monitor civil and military officials, and in the Ming Dynasty, the word "surveillance" was purely literal: supervision and inspection were carried out in a righteous and bright manner. The two strongholds set up in Qiongzhou and Luzon will only work against Ming officials, and there will be absolutely no threat to Qionghai Town!

Zhao Lide did not express any doubts, but expressed his understanding with a smile on his face: Isn't it just to set up an office in two places, no problem! Anyway, there are a lot of institutions here in Daming, and there are not many of them. Besides, in the future, the two brothers' money will be received here from us, and everyone is their own people!

Recruited the service clerk: hurry up to the Haikou Hotel next door to book a table, and at noon to pick up the wind for Daming's friends!

Zhou Liao and the others excused themselves slightly, and they also agreed to come down - they were originally here to pull the relationship, and the banquet was naturally much easier to talk than in the conference room.

Ade's trained subordinates were very efficient, and they had all the things to do by noon - not just booking a table, of course. In fact, when Zhao Lide walked into the hotel box, he already had a preliminary understanding of the names and identities of several attachés sitting here except for Zhou Sheng and Liao Yong, and even the list of the few people who did not attend the banquet was known.

Of course, this is also because Zhou and Liao didn't want to hide it - Liao Yong is a bachelor, and he is alone wherever he goes, just bringing a few changes of clothes. But Zhou Sheng brought his wife and daughter to take office this time, which shows that he is indeed very sincere and wants to live here for a long time.

After Zhao Lide learned about this situation, he immediately asked his subordinates to make some arrangements. So, when Zhou Sheng returned to his temporarily rented hotel room after the banquet and was a little drunk, he saw his wife happily holding a few pieces of clothing and looking at it, while his daughter was holding a rattan shell glass bile hot water bottle and playing over and over - on the bed, of course, otherwise the child would definitely not be allowed to play.

"Hey, someone has sent a gift to me so soon, is there anything you want me to do?"

Zhou Sheng asked casually, but he was not very surprised, in the position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, it is common for someone to come to give gifts. However, he has just arrived, and someone has already rushed over to talk to him, which is also well-informed.

But his wife shook her head:

"No—it was your short-haired friend surnamed Zhao who heard that we were going to make a home here, and asked someone to bring some daily utensils. There are also a few pieces of clothing, saying that it is much hotter here than Guangzhou, and I am afraid that I need to make another clothes...... It's hard for them to think thoughtfully, I see that many people on the street here wear a really good style of narrow-sleeved long shirts, I just want to go to the big market to buy materials to try a few. ”

"Oh, really? And no wonder, they are always thoughtful about things......"

Zhou Sheng walked to the side and picked up his daughter and teased him, a complicated smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect his family to hide from the other party, but reacting so quickly at least showed that their team was very capable.

picked up the hot water bottle casually and looked at it, Zhou Sheng shook his head a little disapprehantly:

"This is the silver gall bottle that has been very popular in the market recently? This bottle is really exquisite...... But the effect is also ordinary, and the tea cover may be better than it. ”

"You know what!"

Just now, his daughter was playing and didn't care, but at this time, his wife immediately came over, carefully took the bottle from Zhou Sheng's hand, and put it back on the table.

"Filling hot water with this thing is much more durable than tea, and it is still steaming after being poured out for most of the day. And it can not only keep hot but also keep cool, put an ice cube in it will not melt all day, so it is called a thermos flask! ”

Zhou Sheng smiled, and said in his heart, of course I know that this thing works better, but the price is sky-high. Even a well-off family like him, if someone else gave him one, he was categorically reluctant to buy it. And glass is particularly fragile...... After all things considered, I still think the tea cover is better.

But it's not interesting to tell his wife, he knows that his wife values not only practical functions, but also a very important point is that it can be carried outside to show off - the merchant who sells it says that the short-haired tube is called a thermos flask, but Daming is generally used to calling it a silver gall bottle. This kind of silver gall bottle has only recently spread to Guangzhou, but it has already formed a trend among the wealthy people in Guangzhou - when they go out to play, they must send a servant to be responsible for carrying such a bottle, and when they reach a crowded place, they will take it out to make a cup of tea...... Fart! Every day or two, I would pour cold dairy cheese out of it and eat it, and I didn't see anyone pulling my stomach - it was just a show.

His wife had a good handkerchief, and the two families often played together. But since the family bought such a silver gall bottle, the wife was reluctant to attend their family's party, apparently stimulated. Zhou Sheng knew that although his wife had given birth to a daughter, the child's temper was still very strong and competitive, so he once thought of buying one to surprise her.

It's just that when I went to the shop that specializes in selling this thing, I saw that the price was quite painful even for him, a person who didn't care much about money, and he knew in his heart that he would have to move after a while, and he was afraid that he would break it in a hurry, so he thought about it and gave up.

Fortunately, as soon as he arrived in Qiongzhou Mansion, he was immediately given one - this kind of thing is not unusual in the short-haired side. When Zhou Sheng went to visit the yamen of the urban management team just now, he saw a long row in the corner of the reception room. Come to think of it, who else can make this kind of weird thing except for the short-haired world?

In just a few years, seeing all kinds of strange and ingenious things of short-haired people emerging one after another, Zhou Sheng recalled that when he first came to Qiongzhou as an envoy, the late Governor Wang Zunde still wanted them to hand over the iron ship and accept the imperial court...... Thinking of this, Zhou Sheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If Governor Wang had lived to see the momentum of Shorthair today, I wonder if he would regret his insistence on destroying it that day? Zhou Sheng felt that this was very likely - even if that was the famous "Governor of Difficulty", he would not be allowed to turn back in front of the south wall.

I don't know what Governor Wang thinks, but Zhou Sheng knows that he has already made a decision, otherwise he would not take the opportunity of Jinyiwei's new Qiongzhou site to take the initiative to apply for a transfer - you must know that this kind of new site is usually enough to use a hundred household officials, and he is actually demoted when he comes over with a thousand households.

But Zhou Sheng didn't care, and directly took his wife and children over, and he didn't plan to go back in the future.

Thinking of the future, Zhou Sheng gently patted his wife's hand and said with a slight smile:

"Now that we have all the utensils, let's go and rent a house tomorrow, if you think it's easy to buy it, we will live here for a long time in the future." ――
