Liu Zongzhou and Wang Duo did not expect, Yang Tingshu did not expect that the decision to relocate the Firearms Bureau came down, and when the folds were not even sent to the capital, Zheng Xunrui had already sent Zheng Jiajun soldiers to Nanjing and began a large-scale relocation, Nanjing is more than 500 miles away from Huai'an, it should be said that the transportation is very inconvenient, and the Firearms Bureau has a lot of large-scale equipment, which affects the transportation, but among the relocated teams, Tang Ruowang and Bo Yu and others are experts and masters, and soon disassembled and packed many instruments and loaded them into the carriage. The entire relocation was completed in three days, and the Nanjing Firearms Bureau was left with only a lonely house.

At this time, Liu Zongzhou, Wang Duo and others were thinking about embarrassment, and they had no chance, and the twists and turns they sent to the capital lost their meaning, no matter what the attitude of the imperial court was, all the equipment in the Firearms Bureau was relocated.

All the craftsmen under the jurisdiction of the Firearms Bureau, the same to Huai'an, these craftsmen will never refuse, very simple, each craftsman has at least two taels of silver per month, whether there is something to do or nothing to do, with these wages, the craftsman can at least keep himself and his family alive.

The houses in Huai'an have long been prepared, basically they are newly repaired houses, and some workshops are built under the personal guidance of Bo Yu and others, and they must meet the regulations.

Before the move, it only took about ten days for Tang Ruowang to read all the materials, and read them more than once, when he reported to Zheng Xunrui, Tang Ruowang was excited, saying that the things marked on the materials were absolutely superior, and when he learned that these marks were written by Zheng Xunrui himself, Tang Ruowang repeatedly said that it was impossible.

However, after talking with Zheng Xunrui for most of the day, John Tang was really convinced, and exclaimed that Zheng Xunrui was a celestial man who knew so many things, and some of the key knowledge had the effect of enlightenment for John Tang.

Next, Tang Ruowang and Bo Yu also made contact, and after a conversation. For Zheng Xunrui's arrangement, he bowed and worshipped.

John Tang is an expert in theory, and Bo Yu is an expert in practical operation, and the combination of the two can be described as a perfect combination, which can give full play to their abilities. This is also a decision made by Zheng Xunrui after careful consideration.

In addition, there is Bi Maokang, and Bi Maokang's situation is different, both theoretical knowledge and practical experience, after all, the flintlock pistol has just been invented for a short time. Therefore, after thorough conversations and consultations, John Tong and Bo Yu exchanged views with Bi Maokang, and then they were able to come up with more novel ideas, and once these ideas were put into practice, firearms and artillery would be greatly improved and improved.

The actual situation was similar to what Zheng Xunrui expected.

When Tang Ruowang learned that Bo Yu was recruiting craftsmen, he immediately asked Zheng Xunrui, and he also had a few companions who were proficient in firearms, whether they would also be recruited to Huai'an, some of these people were in the capital, and some were still in Guangdong. It should be said that the lives of these people are not very satisfactory either.

Zheng Xunrui did not refuse Tang Ruowang's request, he knew very well that these partners of Tang Ruowang were all to Daming to preach, Tang Ruowang's inner desire will not be erased, that is, to go to Daming to spread Catholic doctrine, this aspect is not Zheng Xunrui can be destroyed in a few words, a person has firm ideals and pursuits, this is a good thing, there is no need to refuse rudely, and Daming is the world of scholars. Confucianism dominates society, and even the most ordinary people are also influenced by Confucian teachings to understand and live, and Catholicism wants to expand here. It's difficult.

By mid-March, the Governor's Palace was already busy.

The first batch of 500,000 stone grain must be transported to the north within a month, and there are still 300,000 stone grain to be transported to Shaanxi, Penglai and Fuzhou, and the wharf has become extremely lively.

Ah Bing has joined Hongmen. Becoming a hall master in charge of the Caoyun ships in Hongmen, that is, during the Spring Festival holiday, Ah Bing finally got married, and settled at the dock, Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Caoyun, specially congratulated, which made Ah Bing extremely excited, and he worked harder to do things.

Although his identity is different, Ah Bing still personally participates in the Cao Yun, and he is still a sharp man on the Cao Yun ship, but his prestige is very different from before, and he speaks in a word.

The rules of Hongmen are very clear, the boat goes to every wharf, and the local Hongmen get in touch, as long as there is no problem with the procedures, they can go unimpeded, other ships in the canal, used to bully the boat, now do not dare to do so, after all, every boat is hung with a big flag, embroidered with a Hong character, which means that it is Hongmen, who does not know that Hongmen is supported by the governor's palace.

In particular, the news that the Zheng family army defeated the Houjin Tartars and occupied Fuzhou, Jinzhou and Lushun and other places, spread throughout Huaibei, everyone knew the power of the governor, if you want to be strong at this time, it is tantamount to looking for death, the governor has been crowned as the prince Shaobao, the noble is very noble, destroy your few boats on the canal, that is a matter of hand.

Ah Bing served as the head of Jianding's cao boats, and the first batch of 200 cao boats transported 100,000 stone of grain to the north.

March 15 is the departure day.

Ah Ping led all the Jianding of the boat to worship the river god at the pier, hoping for a safe journey.

The gangers on the boat are not directly involved in the worship, but must stand around as required.

Thousands of people on the pier gathered to meet the river god, which is not an ordinary scale.

Such a situation has not appeared for many years, in the past, large and small Cao Gang lined up, each Cao Boat relied on different Cao Gang, naturally it is impossible to worship the river god together, even if it is set off together, it is also their own worship, now the situation is different, there is only one Hongmen family on the canal, all the Cao boats are managed by Hongmen, so everyone can worship the river god together.

As the hall master of Hongmen, the sharpener of the boat, and the veteran sailor, Ah Bing presided over the worship ceremony.

At the end of the day, three gongs sounded, and Ah Bing appeared on the dock with all the sharpeners.

Thousands of gangsters were already standing on the docks, waiting for the worship ceremony to begin.

The head pillar incense of Cao Yun is the most important, and whoever lights the head pillar incense will become the leader of Cao Yun in the future.

Ah Bing had already insisted, this pillar incense must be lit by Hong Mingcheng, the master of the Hongmen Gate, and he didn't dare to nod the pillar incense.

After Ah Bing led many sharp men to stand, he spoke loudly.

"Welcome to Hongmen, Hong Ming Cheng, the master of the door."

"Greetings to Hongmen Hongming Chengmen ......"

And all the people cried out, and even the people who were watching around were affected and cried out with them.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the south side of the dock, from where Hong Mingcheng should have walked out.

After the group walked out of the south, the dock instantly became silent, and everyone probably thought that they had misunderstood.

Ah Bing's excited body trembled.

Walking in the forefront was Zheng Xunrui, the governor of Caoyun, and Hong Mingcheng and others followed behind Zheng Xunrui.

Ah Bing quickly reacted and shouted loudly.

"The tip of the boat, help Ding to greet the governor."

After Ah Bing shouted, he quickly knelt down.

Many of the Jianding and Gangsters in Caozhou don't know Zheng Xunrui, but they all know Zheng Xunrui's name, this governor is amazing, and he has become an immortal in everyone's minds.

"Greetings to the Governor......"

Everyone knelt down, including the people who watched the excitement on the side, Zheng Xunrui's magic was even more mysterious among the people.

With a smile on his face, Zheng Xunrui slowly walked to the altar.

Ah Bing quickly stood up, took out the head pillar incense from the side of the altar, and respectfully handed it to Zheng Xunrui.

Zheng Xunrui lit the incense stick, he held the lit incense in his hand, and opened his mouth to the altar.

"The crown prince Shaobao, the head of the household, the right capital of the imperial history, the governor of Caoyun Zheng Xunrui, today here to worship the river god, pray for the river god to bless the smooth luck of the river, the boat is smooth sailing, the sailors on the boat are safe and sound, if the river god accepts the worship of the official, as long as the official serves as the governor of Caoyun in the future, he will come here every year to worship, if the river god refuses the official's plea, the official will never give up, even if it is to the Jade Emperor, you must fight with your river god."

"The sailors on the boat are all the brothers of their own officials, they work hard, come and go in the wind and rain, in order to feed the family, their requirements are not high, the river god blesses them, it is a matter of heaven's will."

"If the river god is not satisfied, even if he comes to the official, the official will gladly accept it, but if he is angry with the sailors of the boat, the official will despise you from now on." ……

Ah Bing and the others were moved to tears, Zheng Xunrui's way of worship, they saw and heard it for the first time, although the words of the Governor were likely to offend the river god, but all the Jianding and Gangding, none of them felt inappropriate, on the contrary, they were grateful to the Governor, they were the Wenqu stars in the sky, and their status was extremely noble, and they were actually willing to bear the disaster for the sailors on the Cao ship.

At the end of the worship ceremony, the boat officially set sail.

Jianding, Gangding, and Wei Caobing all boarded the ship.

Zheng Xunrui led everyone and stood on the pier, watching the boat slowly go, and the boat disappeared into the river before Zheng Xunrui turned around and left.

The people around them also did not leave, they looked at Zheng Xunrui with completely different eyes, that was awe and worship, look at the governor of the people, for the sake of the sailors on the boat, willing to bear the disaster, this is a rare good official.

Some people have long whispered about it, and some people said that the governor exterminated the Cao gang and abolished many rules, especially strictly prohibiting the government at all levels from exploiting the people by taking advantage of the opportunity to collect grain. (To be continued.) )
