Britain would never go to war with the Chinese Empire because of ten hooligans, and this incident did not cause any substantial harm (the missionary who was beaten by Lin Fei to save face, did not say that his second child was beaten by Lin Fei and could only urinate, and could not do anything else), Lin Fei also proposed that each missionary should compensate one hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, and a Qing peasant will not be able to earn these silver in his life, and Suterres does not want to pursue it.

Suterres took a deep breath and said, "Okay, after the Qing State compensates the money, this matter will be settled, but the Qing government must return the 10,000 taels of silver lost in the church." ”

Lin Fei laughed and said, "I'll just say that those ten missionaries are hooligans, right?" 10,000 taels of silver, and they are really embarrassed to open their mouths... The church was built in October last year, and it has only been a year now, and when they built the church, they bought 20 acres of land, and collecting land rent is their only source of income. What do they grow in the field? Is there a tree of silver that is devoted to silver? ”

Suterres was speechless, Lin Fei sighed, and said, "In this way, I will increase the amount of silver compensated by the Qing court to two hundred taels per person, what do you think?" ”

Suterres thought for a while and said "Okay", Lin Fei smiled and said: "We don't want to sign any agreement on this matter, as soon as the agreement is signed, the matter will be big, you can send someone to get the money from Lord Bian, okay?" ”

Sutres agreed, got up to say goodbye, Bian Baoquan saw that Sutres was gone, let out a sigh of relief, sat down on the chair, gave Lin Fei a thumbs up, and said, "You still have a way..."

Lin Fei smiled faintly, he was actually not happy at all in his heart, this time the British did not use force, because the matter was relatively small, if the matter was bigger, the British would definitely not give up, at that time, war was inevitable, with their current naval strength, they were simply unable to challenge the hegemony of the United Kingdom, and they were even powerless in the face of the United States, France and Tsarist Russia.

There is no other way but to develop the navy as much as possible...

Lin Fei thought of this and turned his head to look at Bian Baoquan, and said with a smile: "We won't talk about useless things, please recruit craftsmen immediately, and don't forget to track down the real culprit of the Xiamen teaching case, otherwise Sutres will come to Xingshi again to ask for the guilt." ”

Hearing that Sutres was coming again, Bian Baoquan's originally loosened body stiffened suddenly, and Lin Fei smiled: "If Sutres comes again, I will help you, after all, we are friends, but if we are no longer friends, then I won't help." ”

Although Lin Fei's words were gentle and polite, but the words were full of threats, if Bian Baoquan dared to disobey Lin Fei's intentions, Lin Fei would not help Bian Baoquan deal with the foreigners, and the foreigners would continue to make things difficult for Bian Baoquan, and if Bian Baoquan handled it a little carelessly, he would be brought down by the political enemies of the DPRK and China.

Bian Baoquan heard Lin Fei's off-string sound, smiled stiffly, and Lin Fei said goodbye and went back. This matter was done by Lin Fei with people, and he didn't know it, where could Bian Baoquan investigate it? As long as Bian Baoquan can't catch the real murderer for a day, he will be under Lin Fei's control for a day until Bian Baoquan is transferred from the position of governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Lin Fei returned to the post house, and he didn't have to worry about the follow-up matters, Chen Fu had already begun to organize the craftsmen of Yanhuang City to select the craftsmen who came forward.

In order to speed up the recruitment process, Lin Fei also opened a recruitment location in Taipei to recruit craftsmen from Zhejiang and northern Fujian, which are relatively close to Taipei and are more convenient to recruit.

Lin Fei finished the matter of recruiting craftsmen, and returned to Dayu City with his subordinates, Lin Fei's trip to the Qing Kingdom, not only successfully completed the initial goal of recruiting craftsmen, but also got the talent of Sa Zhenbing, as well as Sa Zhenbing's daughter Xiyun, although she is only fifteen years old, she is very talented and knowledgeable, and she is a rare talented woman.

Xiyun let go of the wrapped feet, and it was much easier to move, Sa Zhenbing disagreed at first, and later Lin Fei told him that there were no girls bound their feet in Huaxia Kingdom, so Sa Zhenbing didn't say anything.

Xiyun hoped that his father would continue Mei Niang, so Lin Fei found an opportunity to test Sa Zhenbing, although Sa Zhenbing had the heart to continue the string, but he had no idea about Mei Niang, because Mei Niang had been raped, so Sa Zhenbing was unwilling to marry her, Sa Zhenbing was a person from the Qing court after all, and the idea of "starvation is small, and loss of festival is big" is deep-rooted.

Lin Fei arranged Sa Zhenbing at the Huaxia Naval Academy, awarded him the rank of colonel, arranged the position of vice principal for him, and asked him to teach naval courses, in addition to teaching naval courses, he also served as a senior adviser to the Naval General Staff, responsible for providing information on foreign navies, especially the British Navy.

Mei Niang's two children got along well with Sa Zhenbing's son, so Lin Fei let Mei Niang and Sa Zhenbing live next to each other, and Sa Zhenbing readily agreed, as for Mei Niang's work is better arranged, textile factories and shops are short of female workers.

Huaxia Naval Academy is located in Yanhuang City, Lin Fei is in Dayu City, so the two have to separate, the night before Sa Zhenbing's departure, he made a special trip to visit Lin Fei, Sa Zhenbing smiled: "Your Majesty, I want to leave Xiyun by your side." ”

Lin Fei was stunned for a moment and asked, "What are you doing with her by my side?" ”

Sa Zhenbing's face changed slightly, and he said, "Your Majesty, do you remember when I asked Xiyun to serve you to wash and change clothes?" ”

"Remember, what's wrong?" Lin Fei's face was dazed.

"I asked Xiyun to serve you to wash and change clothes, this intention is self-explanatory, right?" Lin Fei still shook his head, and Sa Zhenbing smiled: "I want you to take Xiyun as a concubine." ”

Lin Fei hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm already married......"

Sa Zhenbing shook his head and smiled: "How can the emperor have only one concubine?" ”

Lin Fei's face was still hesitant, and Sa Zhenbing suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Xiyun is the pearl of my palm, if I can't find a good home for her, I can't look at it under the Nine Springs..."

The ancients talked about life and death, and when Lin Fei heard Sa Zhenbing say this, it was not good to refuse, but his face was embarrassed and asked, "You arrange it like this, does Xiyun agree?" ”

"Marriage is the order of parents, what can Xi Yuntong do if he doesn't agree?"

Lin Fei didn't bother to explain more new ideas to Sa Zhenbing, so he said: "Okay, let Xiyun stay first, but Xiyun is only fifteen years old this year, and she is still too young, in a few years, I will accept her as a concubine." ”

Sa Zhenbing smiled with relief, said goodbye and went back, and the next day, Sa Zhenbing and Xiyun shed tears, Lin Fei arranged Xiyun in the General Staff, and told Li Mingming and others to take care of her, Lin Fei took Xiyun to familiarize himself with the situation in the General Staff, and took Xiyun back to his residence that night, these days Ling Xue also heard Lin Fei talk about Xiyun and wanted to see her.

Ling Xue was very happy to see Xiyun, as if she had seen a long-lost sister, which made Lin Fei feel quite relieved, Xiyun also sweetly called Ling Xue "sister", Ling Xue was very happy, turned around and took out a delicate small box from the drawer, handed it to Xiyun, and said with a smile: "Sister Yun'er, eat delicious." ”

Xiyun smiled when he saw the box, "What a beautiful box." Stretched out his hand and opened the box, inside the box was a small square wrapped in oiled paper, peeling off the oiled paper, inside was a small golden square, shining with beautiful brilliance in the light, Xiyun put the small square in front of his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's such a beautiful thing, I can't bear to eat it." ”

Lin Fei had never seen such a thing before, and couldn't help but ask, "Xue'er, where did this thing come from?" ”

Ling Xue said with a smile: "It was given to me by Brother Chen, it is said that this is a kind of sugar imported by a foreign trade company, and many people like to eat it." ”

"Sugar imported by foreign trade companies? How did I not know there was this sugar? Lin Fei asked with a frown.

Ling Xue said with a smile: "The time to import this kind of sugar was about three months ago, that is, when my brother went to Pontianak, and you have not been in Dayu City, so you don't know about this matter." ”

Lin Fei let out an "oh", Xiyun pushed the box of candy in front of Lin Fei, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you can also taste it." ”

Lin Fei smiled and said "Okay", picked up the candy, did not eat it directly, but put it under his nose and smelled it, this is a habit developed after years of wilderness survival training, smell the food before eating.

The golden sugar cube was placed under his nose, and a strange sweet smell penetrated into his nostrils, the smell was very tempting, and Lin Fei almost stuffed the sugar into his mouth uncontrollably, but at this moment, Lin Fei suddenly felt that this breath was very familiar, as if he had smelled it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

Lin Fei's brain was spinning rapidly, and at this time, Xiyun had already put the candy cube in his mouth, swallowed it, and said with a smile: "It's delicious, sister, I'll eat another piece." As he spoke, he reached out and took the other piece in his hand.

Ling Xue smiled and said, "You can eat as much as you want...... Ling Xue was talking, when she suddenly saw Lin Fei raise her hand fiercely, and hit Xiyun's slender and white hand with a "snap", a blood stain was suddenly reflected, and the piece of sugar flew away without a trace.

Ling Xue and Xiyun were stunned, Xiyun cried out with a "woo", Ling Xue hurriedly stood up and hugged Xiyun, complaining, "Brother, what are you doing..."

Lin Fei stood up "Teng", pushed Ling Xue's shoulder roughly, and pushed Ling Xue away, Lin Fei had never been too rude to Ling Xue, and he hadn't even said anything serious, Ling Xue was now pushed away by Lin Fei, scared and aggrieved, tears rolling in his eyes.

Lin Fei grabbed Xiyun's shoulders and said sharply, "Hurry up and spit out the candy you eat..."

Xiyun was frightened stupidly, just crying "whining", Lin Fei roared: "Open your mouth... Fast... Pick your throat and eyes with your hands, spit out the sugar..."
