On the wharf, the workers and slaves were still busy, and Zhang Ping, who couldn't help for a while, simply invited Zhou Tai and Liu Hai to climb a nearby hill, climb high and look far away, cultivate and cultivate sentiment, and by the way, observe the surrounding environment and landform, and choose a site for the future construction of Hanfei Town.

Several people, accompanied by the guards, climbed up with their hands and feet, looking a little embarrassed.

No way, this is a pure natural appearance, there are no artificial traces at all, let alone mountain roads! Can you still expect the natives in the forest to have the leisure and elegance to build a hiking path so that they can go green?

But fortunately, except for Zhang Ping, all of them are soldiers, and they all have martial arts, so it is not a problem to climb a hill at all. As for Zhang Ping, although he is a literati, he is not a cripple without the power of a chicken, and with the slight help of the guards on the side, he is quite comfortable.

An hour later, several people reached the top of the mountain.

"Great! The beauty of the mountains and seas!" As soon as he reached the top of the mountain, Zhang Ping immediately looked around, and then couldn't help but praise.

"Mayor Zhang, don't be in a hurry to sigh, aren't you tired after climbing the mountain for more than half an hour? first drink saliva to moisten your throat, and then you can write poems and sing as you want!" Liu Hai handed Zhang Ping a military water bladder with a hippie smile, and quipped.

"It's obviously kind, but it comes out of your mouth, it's so unpleasant!" Zhang Ping smiled, reached out to take the water bladder, raised his head and poured a big mouthful, without caring about the dignity of the literati, and at the end, he wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

"This is called 'kindness is not rewarded'!" Zhou Tai said with help on the side.

"Is that how 'kindness is not rewarded' explained? This is the first time I've heard of it!" Liu Hai pursed his lips angrily, picked up the water bladder and poured it, saying that he was also very thirsty!

"Hahaha... Then you heard about it today!" Zhang Ping also laughed.

"Brother Zhou, your navy's vision is really good, find such a treasure land!" Liu Hai didn't bother to continue the topic, took a few steps forward, looked down at the bay below in front of him, turned around and raised his eyebrows, and said.

Although the relationship between the army and the navy is tense now, it is on the whole, and when it comes to the individual, it is not so particular, Liu Hai and Zhou Tai have basically not been in contact before, and they can't talk about whether the impression is good or bad, so they can maintain the most objective attitude between the two, and they are not torn apart as soon as they come up like the upper-level bosses.

"Of course, how can we eat this bowl of rice without two brushes?" Zhou Tai said as a matter of course, and then his face turned slightly red.

In fact, this bay was accidentally discovered by Professor Zou Boqi when he insisted on going to the two islands outside to do research, it was pure luck, and this luck has little to do with their navy, but Zhou Tai would never say this, even if the two would not be hostile to each other because of the contradiction between the army and the navy, they subconsciously still want to defend their own military branches in front of each other.

Zhang Ping also walked carefully to the front of the slope, looking down from the mountain, and the feeling when he was below was completely different, standing on the mountain has a sense of relaxation to jump out of the "Lushan", the horizon is more urgent and broadened, and the overall situation can be seen at a glance, without restrictions.

Looking down from above, the entire Deep Water Bay is like a big curved light bulb, the entrance and exit are very narrow, and there are twin islands not far from the entrance, and even better, the terrain of the curved coast on both sides of Deep Water Bay is very high, for example, the hill they are standing on now is located on one of the arms of Deep Water Bay, which is absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

In addition, there is a long beach not far from both sides of the deep water bay, and when the Chinese population goes up and there are more rich people, they can be used to develop a tourism industry, develop the tertiary industry, and generate income for Hanfei Town.

More importantly, with the existence of a beach, the site of the new city does not need to go far, and it is just connected with the Deep Water Bay Military Port, which is more conducive to the expansion of the city to both sides in the future.

"As long as there are more than ten or twenty ten-pound cannons, twenty-catty cannons, and forty-catty cannons set up here, and all the enemies who come from the sea will be discouraged, and those who are lucky and do not know what to do will be dealt a tragic blow, and there will be no return!" Liu Hai squinted his eyes and said impassionedly.

"Huh... Where did you get so many heavy artillery to let you stand on the mountain?" Zhou Tai said unhappily, the artillery is all for you, what should we do with our naval guns?

"I heard from my friends in the Ordnance Department that heavy artillery can be built now, but I don't have it, but I can ask them for it!" Liu Hai said with a 'witty like me' expression.

"Okay, don't be sloppy with me, I don't eat this!" Zhou Tai waved his hand angrily and said, "What's the matter, do you think I'm going to rub your relationship with the Ordnance Division?"

Seeing that careful thinking did not hide from the other party, Liu Hai's face was slightly hot, but he was thick-skinned and outsiders couldn't see it.

"What does it matter to me? I'm just a small lieutenant colonel and imperial officer, where can I get into the eyes of the old men of the Ordnance Division? This is not a normal application! When the time comes, I will have to trouble Mr. Yue!"

Mr. Yue, he has to be the commander of the army, Yue Fei, needless to say, the title of boss came out of Li Kang's mouth, just like the previous leaders, and it quickly became popular.

Believe in you to have a ghost!

However, Zhou Tai did not continue, and turned around and asked Zhang Ping, "Mayor Zhang, do you have a general idea of the address of the town?"

Zhang Ping had been standing aside and looking at them with a smile, and suddenly heard Zhou Tai's question, and hurriedly said: "I can't see the specific content from above, but there are a few places that look good, and I have to go there in person to make the final choice!" ”

As soon as he heard that Zhang Ping attached so much importance to the port, Zhou Tai immediately smiled and said 'yes' three times in a row, obviously for him, the port is the most important thing.

Although Liu Hai was a little unhappy, he couldn't say anything, after all, the importance and urgency of the fort were indeed not as important as the port, besides, this kind of urban construction matters were all under the management of Zhang Ping, the chief civil officer, and he and Zhou Tai were only responsible for the military.

Then, the three of you talked about some future development strategies, and before you knew it, more than an hour had passed.

"It's not too early, let's go down!" Zhang Ping suggested, "If the people below don't look at the dots, they won't do things with their hearts." ”

"I don't care!" Zhou Tai said.

"You go down first, I'll have to look at it a little longer, and the location of the fort must choose the best place. Liu Hai shook his head, he wanted to simply determine the location of the fort at one time, so that he could have a number in his heart, and when the time came to calculate the specific range, it could also play a reference role.

"Then let's go first!"
