Shen Huashan and his entourage came to Lingnan Road at the beginning of May and joined Shen Kaishan, Shen Zegao and others who had been here for a long time.

May is the most pleasant time for Lingnan Road. After stepping into Lingnan Road, Shen Huashan's depressed mood relaxed, and the smile on his face increased.

Here in Lingnan Road, away from Jingzhao's political troubles, and there is also his young son here, Shen Huashan's mood will of course improve.

For Shen Ning and Shen Yu, the most surprising thing is to see Yu Zhengkai, Yu Shijing, and Yu Shigang here!

"Brother......" Shen Yu couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw Yu Zhengkai. She really didn't expect to see her mother's family here in Lingnan Road, and she was her eldest brother!

The last time I saw my brother was when I went to Xishan to attend my father's funeral, and it has been four years since now.

Time really flies too fast, I didn't expect their brother and sister to reunite, not in Gangnam Province, nor in Jingzhao, but in Lingnan Road, which has nothing to do with their past trajectory!

The flow of the world and the changes in personnel are really beyond Shen Yu's expectations. She has always been dignified and calm, but when she saw Yu Zhengkai, she didn't seem to know what to say except for tears.

"Good, good. It would be nice to arrive safely. Yu Zhengkai's voice was also a little excited. Although he and Shen Yu are brother and sister, the age difference is too great, and Shen Yu is like his daughter. Seeing that Shen Yu's family had arrived safely, he was also relieved.

"I've seen my uncle, I've seen my cousin......" Shen An's and Shen Ning immediately asked Yu Zhengkai and others to say goodbye.

Shen Ning was still holding the child, and Ying Nantu, who was beside her, immediately saluted Yu Zhengkai and others. This was the first time he had seen someone from the Xishan Yu clan, and his eyes couldn't help but look a little more.

Uncle Yu Zhengkai looks very old, and the two cousins are estimated to be older than their father-in-law and mother-in-law.

"I've seen my aunt." Yu Shijing and Yu Shigang also saluted Shen Yu's family, and they didn't care about their cousin-in-law Ying Nantu's gaze.

Because Shen Yu's family is here, what they are talking about is family affection, and they only talk about their respective situations in the past few years, which is nothing more than some family affairs.

Shen Yu's family is in the inner house, but he doesn't know the general trend of the world. For her brother and nephew to appear here, she thought that there was always a reason, but she didn't ask more.

What she wants to know most is whether Xishan's old mother is okay?

"My mother is in good health, but after all, she is very old, and she will cough a few times from time to time, and her spirit is still good."

Yu Zhengkai said this, and briefly talked about the situation in Xishan. In the past four years, the Xishan Yu family has been filial piety to Yu Jinzhi for three years, and he has only devoted himself to learning and morality behind closed doors, and in addition, he has prepared for leaving Xishan.

When Yu Zhengkai said that everything was as usual on the edge of Xianghu Lake, Shen Ning, who was in a piece, looked quite nostalgic.

The early morning of Xianghu Lake remained in her mind, where she realized the Tao and knew the way of "the breeze blows the hills, and the bright moon shines on the river", and the benefits are really not shallow.

Thinking of Xianghu, she naturally remembered Yu Zhengdao who taught her the way of vertical and horizontal. I think I'll be able to see him soon, right?

"The fourth brother went to Xining Road, and now he should be with his brother-in-law. My sister will also have a chance to meet him. ”

Shen Ning was thinking about it, but Yu Zhengkai spoke again, and what he said was the news about Yu Zhengdao.

Hearing that he could still see Yu Zhengdao, Shen Yu was overjoyed. While Shen Ning was happy, he also felt that the persecution of the general trend in the world was getting closer and closer.

At this age, my uncle and cousins still left Xishan and came to Lingnan Road and Xining Road, which is of far-reaching significance.

The Xishan Yu clan has a literary heirloom, and the children of the clan have never been outstanding, and their influence on the government and the world is more in Wendao. But in recent years, there has been a grandfather Yu Jinzhi preaching in Guozijian, and now Yu Zhengkai and others have come out of Xishan. It seems that what Xishan Yu is doing is different from the past.

They have foreseen the future of chaos in the world, and they are also actively practicing the heirloom tenet of "establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, continuing to learn for the saints, and opening peace for all generations".

There is turmoil in the country, but there is courtesy and joy.

Yu Zhengkai and others had already come to Lingnan Road at the end of March, more than a month earlier than Shen Huashan and them. As for why they came here, Shen Ning and Ying Nantu knew.

It seems that more and more people are involved in what my grandfather is planning.

The place where Shen Zesi placed Shen Huashan was not next to the Shaoxian County Office, but on the edge of the Qujiang River, a leisurely and quiet courtyard.

Although this courtyard is simple, it occupies a large area, which is enough to house the people of the Shen family. Yu Zhengkai and others also lived here, and even Ying Nantu and Shen Ning abandoned the small house next to the county government and moved here.

On the banks of the Qujiang River in May, there are mixed flowers and wild grasses, and the river water is clear. This scenery can make people feel refreshed, but now, Shen Huashan does not have such a pleasant mood.

After the joy of reunion passed, business was laid out one by one. Shen Huashan did not forget that he did not come to Lingnan Road to support the elderly.

The family members who should be resettled have settled down, and they have Shen Cai's family to help them adapt to this place; The things that should be paid attention to have been taken care of, and the news sent to Jingzhao and Xining Dao has been sent......

Now he and Yu Zhengkai, Ye Zhengchun and other old guys, as well as Ying Nantu, Shen Yule and other little guys, are discussing what to do in the future.

"The matter of losing too often has spread to Lingnan Dao. The officials and people of Lingnan Province have a lot of discussions about this, and the Tao is ominous from the sky. ”

Shen Zegao said the latest situation of Lingnan Road. In fact, this is not a new situation, Shen Huashan and the others went all the way south, and they have heard a lot of similar situations.

Emperor Jingxing tried his best to cover up the matter, and I don't know how it spread all over Dayong. The reaction of the people of Dayong to this matter was even greater than Shen Huashan expected.

There are even people in Lingnan Province and Jiangnan Province who gathered in front of the county government, saying that this is the anger of the heavenly prince and let Emperor Jingxing issue an edict against himself.

If the crime is self-sufficient, it cannot be issued if it is not a major calamity of the state or if the monarch has a great mistake. How could Emperor Jingxing issue an edict of guilt because he was too often lost?

"Who has the ability to take away Taichang Jiuding quietly?"

Yu Zhengkai said that he didn't believe that Jiuding would disappear, nor did he believe in the auspicious warning, the biggest possibility was that Jiuding was stolen.

"Jin Wuwei searched closely and didn't know the truth. Now that Jiuding has been lost, the imperial court estimates that it will not be able to find it. Maybe eventually they'll emerge on their own. ”

Ye Zhengchun said. Too often lost, it has become a mystery. Where Jiuding is, no one knows now. This situation is very similar to that of the previous dynasty. In the last years of Da'an, Jiuding was gone, and later Dayong Taizu was born, and Jiuding reappeared.

That's why Ye Zhengchun felt that Jiuding would appear in the end. As for who Jiuding will end up with, it is impossible to predict.

"Not to mention the loss of Rui too often, how is the matter of the Weapons Division?"

Shen Huashan turned the topic back to Lingnan Road. The Shen family's Ordnance Division has been preparing for two years, especially after the site selection is determined, it has entered a period of rapid development.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the raw materials and money that the Shen and Hu families continue to send to the deep mountains of Nanling are innumerable.

In order to smoothly develop the Ordnance Division, and in order to smoothly transport the mineral deposits of Xining Road to Nanling, Hu Butu, Shen Zeyuan and others used countless manpower and material resources to open up the trade route from Queensland to Guangzhou at the end of last year. Today's Weapons Division, the progress is not the same, right?

"Hu Zhaochang is really a genius craftsman! With a group of craftsmen, he has already produced several batches of bows and crossbows, which are lighter than those produced by the Crossbow Workshop. He even knows how to make a crossbow bed, and now the Ordnance Department is developing a new type of crossbow bed, according to his idea, this new crossbow bed overcomes the shortcomings of the crossbow bed can not be fired continuously! ”

Shen Kaishan replied, his voice raising a lot. Although the development of the ballista bed had been carried out a month earlier, he still could not suppress the excitement in his heart.

The development of a new ballista has reached the final stage of testing. Although Hu Zhaochang only adjusted the position of the crossbow machine and added a few crossbow buckles, this crossbow bed can be equipped with two or more crossbow machines, and can continuously fire bows and arrows.

Such a crossbow bed is too important for siege and defense. Shen Kaishan could predict how much of a sensation this would cause.

"The Weapons Division must be kept secret! But the progress must be a little faster, in addition to the crossbow bed, bows, crossbows, spears and other weapons, but also to hurry. ”

Shen Huashan thought about it and said. He knew that the affairs of the Weapons Division must not be exposed, so he would rather be slow than fast. But he only felt a growing sense of urgency, and his intuition that time was running out grew stronger.

However, looking at Dayeong, the Turkic army of more than 100,000 has been wiped out, and the Turks will definitely not become a threat; It had rained in Hanoi Province and the situation had been alleviated. Xiyan has been calm, and there is no new information from Shen Yuyi......

Where does the turmoil come from? Northern? Xiyan? Or Jingzhao?

Shen Huashan didn't know, but he knew that time was running out of time.

"The servants brought by Jingzhao, I intend to move all to the Ordnance Department to help Hu Zhaochang and other craftsmen; In addition, Zesi will bring 3,000 Anbei soldiers to come, and I also plan to place these people in the Weapons Division. ”

Shen Huashan continued. The servants of the Shen family are all credible and reliable people, and if these people are added to the Weapons Division, the progress of the Weapons Division will be greatly accelerated.

"The disaster in Hanoi Province has been resolved, and the wealth of Qianqiu Qianzhuang no longer needs to be sent to Hanoi Province. It can be transferred to the Weapons Division. ”

Ying Nantu said about the money of Qianqiu Qianzhuang. He already knew that the Weapons Division's money was very tight. Shen Zeyuan, Hu Butu, Yang Buyun and others have already withdrawn money as much as possible, but the Ordnance Department is still short of money.

Also, for the Ordnance Division, every time a mineral deposit is smelted and every weapon is made, what is consumed is money!

On the edge of this Qujiang River, these people gathered around Shen Huashan and talked about things closely related to the Shen family.
