"The son of the world is a scholar and a celestial, and the students really admire it!" The banquet had been withdrawn, and Li Guangdi and Geng Jingzhong were still talking, and it took a long time before they stopped, and both of them had a sense of sympathy for each other.

"Brother Li is a great talent, and this should be said by me. Brother Li is going out to travel this time to increase his knowledge, right, I happen to have a lot of novelties here, I don't know if Brother Li wants to take a look? ”

"I've long heard that the son of the world has a unique style of doing things, and if you can see it with your own eyes, of course you can't ask for it."

The first stop that Geng Jingzhong led Li Guangdi to inspect was the military camp next to it. At this time, Geng Jingzhong's military camp was very different from other armies, the entire military camp was very tidy, without a trace of debris and garbage, which was a rule set by Geng Jingzhong based on what he had seen and heard in his previous life. A few days ago, there were basically no people in the barracks during the day, and everyone went to the riverside for training, leaving only some logistics personnel to work in the barracks. And when this large amount of silver was transported to the barracks, three battalions of soldiers remained in the camp every day, training only on the side of the camp for swords and guns.

A few people walked all the way to the depths of the camp, and from time to time a group of men and horses armed with knives and guns patrolled everywhere. The same pace, the same pace, the neat pace, sounds very different. Near the soldiers' dormitory, rows of wooden signs stand neatly on the side of the road, densely covered with words. Li Guangdi's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly saw three bright red characters on the military merit column on the wooden board.

"Shizi, what is this?" Li Guangdi was obviously very interested in the military merit column, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

"Hehe, I said, as long as you are interested, Brother Li, you can watch it at will." Geng Jingzhong made a gesture of please.

The military merit column here records in detail the military exploits of every soldier in the last battle, all the words are engraved on the wooden board, and the top is painted with a layer of lacquer, and the words are very eye-catching in red. The words on the sign closest to the door of the dormitory are not engraved, but written on white paper and pasted on the notice board, recording the health inspection of the barracks, training rankings, etc., which will be changed once every ten days.

Li Guangdi approached the military merit column and looked carefully, and the place at the beginning read: Mawei Navy Military Merit Commendation Notice, (with the battalion as the unit, the opening text is arranged, in no particular order)

Feizi Battalion: Yang Wencai, one hundred households, took the lead, took the lead in boarding the enemy ship, killed thirteen enemies, wounded two places, counted the first level of military merit, and rewarded 260 taels of silver.

Gong Biao, deputy 100 households, took the lead, killed 11 enemies, wounded 3 places, counted military merits at the first level, and rewarded 220 taels of silver.

Liu Gang, the chief of the army, fought bravely, killed nine enemies, wounded three places, counted military merits of the second degree, and rewarded 150 taels of silver

The order is from left to right, and the columns are neatly engraved on the military merit column, which is clear and clear. Lee Kwang-di immediately realized that the role of this military merit column could not only show military merits, but also stimulate the morale of the soldiers. After roughly looking at the military merit column, I then looked at the notice board. The results of the various competitions with the most recent dates clearly written on them made Lee Kwang-di marvel at them.

Then, the group entered the soldiers' quarters, where six wooden bunk beds were neatly arranged, the beds were very neatly arranged, and the quilts were folded like tofu blocks. The innermost closet, against the wall, is a nailed wardrobe with the name of the corresponding soldier written on it. Looking at the floor, it is also clean, without any dust and no stains. There are also two triangular red flags hanging on the doors of the rows of dormitories visited, and the flags are written with the words "comprehensive evaluation---- mobile red flags", which are used for commendation at a glance.

Li Guangdi smacked his lips and exclaimed: "From the small to the big, you can know how powerful the army is from these details." These whimsical ideas are really genius, even Qi Shaobao's "Ji Xiao New Book" did not mention it! I would venture to ask, but this method was created by the son of the world? ”

Geng Jingzhong nodded and smiled: "Not bad." I also grew up in the barracks, so I made some reforms in the barracks. There is a way that does not work, and this change has made me successful! ”

Li Guangdi sighed again: "The son of the world is determined to forge ahead, reform and innovation, and the students admire." It is no wonder that the prince of the world with 20,000 soldiers against the 40,000 bandits in Fujian can be completely wiped out in just three months, which is the discipline of the son of the whole country. Such a well-disciplined army is a truly elite army. However, may I ask the prince, the prince is vigorously expanding his armaments, just to compete with the Zheng family in Taiwan? ”

Geng Jingzhong did not answer directly, but smiled mysteriously: "Brother Li is in a hurry, follow me to see a few more places, and your purpose will be clear to you!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Geng Jingzhong and his entourage went to the Mawei Shipyard to inspect the construction of the navy's large ships. Geng Jingzhong didn't think about taking him to see the navy's training immediately, but most of the navy was still practicing diving in the river, and there was nothing to see. The Mawei shipyard was not far from the barracks station, and it took a few people less than ten minutes to arrive on horseback. After nearly three months of construction, the shipyard is already in good shape, and the fifteen docks that have been built have long been completed.

A few people sat on horseback, and from a distance, the shipyard was still a busy scene. More shipbuilding materials have been piled up in the shipyard, and a large number of timber and canvas have been piled up on the original square. Timber is basically produced in Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and there is not much else in the many mountains and forests here, but there are many molded woods. Many places are inaccessible, giant trees are towering to the sky, the Mawei shipyard buys timber at a high price, the timber merchants from all over the country will organize people to go into the mountains to cut wood, the shipyard here is how much to collect, the comer does not refuse, so that there are more and more timber here, the site of the shipyard is also expanded again and again, specially set aside a large area to stack timber. More and more women from all over Fuzhou came to work in the shipyard, and a large number of canvases were woven and piled up in the warehouse. The materials used to weave the canvas---- cheesecloth and linen, extended all the way to the river beach. On the other side, a large amount of tung oil constantly exudes a rich pungent smell.

Li Guangdi grew up in Quanzhou Prefecture, which is also near the sea, and he has seen countless sea boats, including local sea ships, Western merchant ships, and Western warships. As for the shipbuilding workshop, he also went to play when he was young, and later when the Zheng family retreated to Taiwan, all the shipyard workers were withdrawn, and the workshop was abandoned, but at that time he had not seen such a grand scale here. It didn't surprise him that the shipyard had always been in full swing.

A few people rode to the river, and the twenty docks were busy. A small half of the first batch of imitation third-class battleships has been built, and the main body has begun to be laid preliminarily, and the remaining works are estimated to be completely completed in another five or six months, and then they can be launched. Although it has not yet been built, these twenty half-pulled ships look spectacular! The group walked along the edge of the dock, and the surrounding workers were busy as usual, not paying the slightest attention to them, as if they were air. This is also the reason why Geng Jingzhong and them come too often, as long as they are in Mawei, Geng Jingzhong will come to the shipyard to check at every turn. At the beginning, Jason, the person in charge of the shipyard, would accompany him, but then he didn't take him seriously, thinking, you can come, just look at it, I'm too busy to accompany you! In this way, Geng Jingzhong and the others went around the shipyard.

Although Li Guangdi didn't know about the construction of ships, he knew the value of a ship, so he asked out loud: "Shizi's shipyard is really powerful, all the warships built here are large warships, and there are not many warships like this, I'm afraid there aren't many Zheng families, right?" ”

Geng Jingzhong smiled, stretched out two fingers, and said, "Two hundred thousand." The cost of each warship here is 200,000, and there are 20 ships being built now, which is 4 million. These twenty warships are all built in imitation of the British third-class warships, and a lot of shipbuilding technology has been added to them, so they are stronger than the original third-class warships and almost on par with second-class warships! Of course, this is the designer's estimate. But I don't think designers are paying their words. In two months, these warships will be launched and handed over to the navy. In the future, the shipyard will continue to expand, and at least 100 warships will be launched a year! ”

The more Li Guangdi listened, the more frightened he became, twenty ships are four million, and there will be more in the future! Even the imperial court can't afford it now, where did this Jingnan Mansion get so much silver? "A while ago, I heard that Shizi had created an ocean trading company, I wonder if Shizi can tell me?"

Geng Jingzhong said: "Brother Li also heard about it? That's right, Brother Li's family is also auspicious and wealthy, and it is impossible not to know such a big news. The Monkey Island Commercial Port is under construction, you must have seen it, we will not go, and then I will show you something, you will know where my confidence is coming, follow me! ”

Geng Jingzhong quickly returned to the barracks with Li Guangdi, and the two of them went straight to the silver cellar with the guards. Coming to the mouth of the silver cellar, Geng Jingzhong ordered: "Open!" ”

With the "Click! Click! With a few sounds, the door of the cellar made of heavy iron plates opened upward. Geng Jingzhong took two steps inward and lit the brazier, then turned around and said, "Brother Li, please!" ”

Li Guangdi followed Geng Jingzhong into the silver cellar, at this time he didn't know what place this was, looking at this silver cellar buried deep underground, he thought it was a dungeon built by Geng Jingzhong. And when they entered a room, Lee dismissed the thoughts from his head. I saw that the room was full of the same large boxes, neatly stacked. Geng Jingzhong opened a box at the door, and as soon as the lid was lifted, a dazzling white light shot out, almost dazzling Li Guangdi's eyes. I saw that the box was full of silver, and I was afraid that there would be no tens of thousands of taels of silver in such a whole box, and there were about seventy or eighty boxes in this room, which was nearly a million taels. The iron door I saw when I came in just now stretched into the depths, and if so many rooms were filled with silver, that

Thinking of this, dense beads of sweat floated on Li Guangdi's head. Geng Jingzhong showed him all such an important secret, if he didn't understand what it meant, then so many years of reading the book would really be in vain. This prince definitely doesn't just want to compete with the Zheng family, his purpose is self-evident at this time. Geng Jingzhong stood quietly beside him, not saying anything. Geng Jingzhong is broad-hearted, in this life, he is strong, his food is sufficient, and his reputation is good, if he can't let Li Guangdi's heart go to himself, then there is really no way.

Li Guangdi was at war in his heart at this time, in fact, he still wanted to be able to participate in the gold list of the Beijing Entrance Examination, but now I am afraid that he will not be able to choose. But at this time, it was more exciting, he was also a person who was not willing to be lonely, otherwise he would not have done a series of things in history. The son of the world in front of him is very strong in all aspects, and he has excellent vision, which is indeed a good choice. The Qing Dynasty has just pacified the Southern Ming Dynasty, and the Quartet has not yet completely surrendered, and the emperor is still young, and the dictatorship of the ministers is worshipped.

Having made up his mind, Li Guangdi turned around and bowed deeply to Geng Jingzhong and said: "The prince and Jin Qing have such a heart-to-heart relationship, Jin Qing is not talented, and he also has the ambition to help the universe, which was originally the work of the prince of the world!" ”

"Hahaha, hahaha! What I'm waiting for is Brother Li's words. From now on, you will be my own brother, blessed and disadvantaged! Geng Jingzhong's wasted so much effort and finally paid off, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart and laughed loudly.
