The contract for that batch of artillery was won for him by Bugarao's connections in Lisbon, and it was sold to the Portuguese 6th Army. Of course, he didn't want to be intercepted halfway and sell the cannon to someone else. However, Li Yanqing threatened to take back the exclusive agency rights of the Portuguese, which made Simão the first to sit still.

Losing this agency also means making enemies with this magistrate, who knows if he will support another agent to replace him. He pulled Bugarao aside, "My friend, you can't be so rigid. What you need now is flexibility and resilience, as you used to say, people who do business, you have to know when to stick to your principles, and even more importantly, when to abandon your principles. ”

"But the Lisbon contract."

"I know, of course I know that contract is important to you, just as the market is important to me. But after all, this place is close to Xiangshan, and far from Lisbon, isn't it? If a cargo ship has an accident during transportation, and His Majesty's cannon unfortunately sinks into the sea, who can do it? We are obliged to provide them with another batch of artillery, and I think even the king will understand our difficulties. God willing, sea transportation is full of uncertainties of one kind or another, and none of us can do anything about it, right? ”

Bugarao said: "But what you said requires a large number of people to complete, and the quality of the cannon is difficult to guarantee. I think it's better to transport the artillery to Lisbon first, and then use the method you said to make a batch of cannons for the magistrate and Mrs. Hong. ”

"Hey my friend, what's wrong with you? O God, your present table xiàn. It's not as smart as usual. You have to think about it, the people of Lisbon are buying arms for the king, the prefectural commander. It was to buy arms for his lover. The intensity of the inspection is different. Besides, we are under his jurisdiction, remember my words, and don't mess with those who take care of yourself. ”

Bu Garao nodded helplessly, and finally agreed to load the newly built cannons on Hong Simei's ship, and Simang also said that he happened to have a batch of brand new wood, which was very suitable for repairing the ship. It is guaranteed that a satisfactory battleship will be returned to the county. The two guests enjoyed themselves and drank freely.

Waited until the evening and went back to the bedroom. As soon as Qingyun Nuanxue changed into the western dress, she blushed. This dress in evening dress completely exposes the snow-white neck and rounded shoulders, and even holds the pair of Yingying. It's all half-hidden and half-exposed, how can you wear it out to see people like this.

"The lord is right, Yiren is really not a good person."

"Those who wear this kind of clothes are not destined to be a woman from a good family."

"We should throw away this kind of clothing, and don't look at it."

"That's right, throw it away."

Although the two of them said fiercely, no one was willing to throw it. You can't wear it out to meet people, but it's nice to wear it in the room. Especially when I think of wearing this to serve tea. There are many scenes in the minds of both of them, and they take off their clothes and put them away carefully.

Hong Simei turned around in the mirror a few times in the room. Seeing the wheat-colored skin on her body, she sighed, "Why is it not as white as Widow Qin." But looking at the pair of peaks, she has a little confidence, "At least she is not as big as mine, and Master Liu still likes to be big." It's just that he is ruthless in his mouth, and he doesn't know when he will really act. Then Widow Qin's spirit is full of spirit that he pours every day, why doesn't she know to feed me? ”

The next day, the people set off to return to Xiangshan. Li Yanqing left a few pirates behind, who were specifically responsible for keeping an eye on the ship. Let them be sure to check every cannon on board to make sure that it is new. Thinking that Bugarao and the others still had six acres of land that had not been approved, they did not dare to fool themselves in this matter.

You must know that now the artillery factory has entered an embarrassing period, the initial investment has been smashed in, the artillery factory has begun to take shape, and it has begun to enter the production link. However, due to the limitation of the site, the output cannot be increased, and the expansion of the plant area is a problem at hand. If Li Yanqing no longer approves land at this time, it will be equivalent to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, and this artillery factory will be suspended in mid-air, and those who have invested in advance will lose all their money if they don't do it well.

With this Western warship at the bottom, Li Yanqing will be more sure of the situation in the entire Xiangshan. Originally, Hong Simei was a sea patrol, and the imperial court provided her with supply ports, repaired ships, and provided personnel, which made her team more consolidated, but she didn't dare to say that she was invincible at sea.

This time, with this foreign ship as the foundation, even if the Japanese invaders came to the regular army, they might not be forbidden to live in the Coast Guard to fight. As for the pirates, whoever dares to disobey will let this foreign ship go around twice, and ensure that they are all more honest than their grandsons. The status of Xiangshan County, the first county in Guangdong, is about to sit firmly.

On the way back, Hong Simei deliberately wore that dress and swayed in front of Li Yanqing, and the patience test competition between the two kicked off again. This dress adds a lot of spice and makes it easier for Li Yan to paint on fire, but he has foreign aid, and his techniques are becoming more and more sophisticated, so it is only a matter of time before he wins.

He also got a dress for Qin Ruizhu to wear, and as a result, the number of tarts felling increased, making Qin Ruizhu full of vitality and brilliance, and a little more plump and round than in the past.

It is said that the eldest lord was unlucky when he went to sea this time, and encountered a storm on the way, a boat sank, and Zhang Yuande and others were unfortunately martyred. The first thing the eldest man did after returning to the government was to go door-to-door to offer condolences, and then sent a bereavement pension to be burned, and the family of the deceased expressed their affection.

Of course, in the face of the county lord with more than 20 servants, what can they do not be calm? As for suing for such a thing, who can you sue and what can you sue? Li Yanqing himself wrote a letter asking for guilt and handed it to the Guangzhou government, and the Guangzhou government's instructions and opinions: The next is not an example.

Then a bunch of people came to find Brother Lin to dredge, hoping to send him to Xiangshan to be a clerk. This is not a second official, it is good to be a servant, the fat and oily place is not enough, and you can't enjoy it even if you get a little bit of it.

As for the Guangdong governor Yamen's side, his attitude was clearer, first criticizing Li Yanqing's behavior of going to sea without regard for safety, and finally his opinion was: Quasi-Xiangshan County will build a large official ship, and the expenses will be raised locally, and there is no restriction on the number of masts.

The people in Xiangshan County are also well-informed, and after hearing the news, Liang Ruimin was the first to come to the door, "The matter of the official ship, our Liang family has taken care of it." Haha, this is a good thing, Zhang Yuande, they died well, they died too well. If they don't die, how can those positions be vacated, and how can my Liang family's ship be whitewashed. ”

Although the three-masted or even four-masted ships along the coast are not called new at the moment, this kind of thing is not said to be broken, and if it encounters officials and soldiers, it still needs to be avoided.

Especially now that the wind of cracking down on the Japanese is very tight, the big ships of the Liang family can only hide in the open sea, and it is easy to do it with this warrant. All the big ships of the Liang family can be laundered as official ships and moored in Xiangshan Port, which can be regarded as completely taking off the skin of thieves. But more important than this, is the vacancy of the officials in Xiangshan County.

"Master, since you have an official, you have to have an official, and the six-room scribe has to be your right and left hand, and you can't appoint outsiders. Among the children of my Liang family, there are a few shrewd and capable descendants, who have not said anything after giving you the saddle before and after the horse, running errands and working hard.
