Outside the west gate of Dinghai County, which was already very lively in the early morning, Gan Sui, who was still dressed as a farmer, was picking up the third bowl of rice this morning in front of a small stall, and when he noticed someone approaching, he immediately turned his head vigilantly.

It's Chen Ning again.

There is also a middle-aged man with a round face and a short beard in his fifties.

Silently putting down the spoon, Gan Sui tensed his body slightly and waited for Chen Ning to approach, he had become more and more impatient with this person.

Chen Ning came to the front with Zhang Jaw, took a deep look, and said: "Gan Baihu, this is Haiyan Zhang Jaw, the rich man of Zhang has always admired Zuo Xiang, and he took the liberty to bring him here to see him." ”

Zhang Jaw couldn't see anything special about the farmer in front of him, so he hurriedly followed: "The small Zhang Jaw, the word is sparse, and I have seen hundreds of households." ”

Gan Sui was about to answer, keenly felt that someone was peeping at him not far away, turned his head to look, and saw a tall man dressed as a coachman sitting on the wheel of a carriage not far away, sensing his reaction, the man who was looking at him turned his eyes away casually.

After a pause, Gan Sui retracted his gaze, didn't mean to talk to Chen Ning at all, took out a few coppers and shouted to the shopkeeper to settle the bill, picked up a somewhat shabby hat next to him and put it on his head, stood up, and finally looked at Chen Ning again: "Lord Chen, it's better for us to see each other less." ”

As he spoke, he swept his eyes and jaw again, and hurried away.

Chen Ning has always maintained a humble posture and watched Gan Sui hurry away, but he was secretly happy in his heart.

Among the various links preset in advance, this paragraph is the easiest to help with Gan Sui, and at the moment, this Gan Baihu is too lazy to talk to him, but he is in the middle of it.

Seeing that Chen Ning had been bowing down to see Gan Sui leave, he also concocted the same method, until Gan Sui's figure disappeared, and then he glanced at the half bowl of rice that was still left on the dinner table, and his expression was questioning: "Brother Mingze, this is what you said about the person next to Zuo Xiang?" ”

Chen Ning glanced at Zhang's jaw and deliberately sneered: "People can't look good." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the carriage not far away.

Zhang Jaw also hurriedly followed.

This is the carriage of the Zhang family, in addition to the coachman, there are also Zhang's brothers, the "Dragon King of the Waves", Xiang Er and Xiang Er, the brother who can pass through Yang in a hundred steps, "shoot through the mountain" Jingmen.

Chen Ning had personally seen Jingmen show that he could easily shoot the square hole of the copper coin dozens of steps away, so this person was also the most important part of his plan.

Sending away the coachman, Chen Ning and the other four entered the carriage together.

Everyone sat down, and Zhang Jaw did not avoid Chen Ning, and asked Xiang Erdao: "What do you think of that person just now?" ”

Xiang Er recalled the details of watching Gan Sui's every move before, as well as the other party's keen perception, and said: "He has a military spirit, he is a person who has seen blood on the battlefield, and he does not hide it from his brother, if the younger brother is right, I am afraid that he will not be able to take advantage." ”

Zhang Jaw nodded slightly, and quickly strung together some information.

Before coming, Chen Ning only said that he would take him to meet a person close to Zuo Xiang, and did not introduce the other party's situation. But just now, Chen Ning called that person 'Gan Baihu', and his brother said that the other party had military spirit, so he was on the right call.

Moreover, Zhang Jaw has some understanding of his brother's martial arts, and Xiang Er can't take advantage of that person when he meets him, which means that he is a powerful person.

Chen Ning mentioned Zuo Xiang before, and Zhang Jaw also carefully looked at the person's expression, neither confused nor denied, it was obviously some kind of acquiescence.

Combined with all kinds of signs, the one just now, who said that he was the person next to Zuo Xiang, was afraid that it couldn't be faked.

However, Zhang Jaw quickly thought of another question, looked at Chen Ning and said, "Brother Mingze, Nagan Baihu, why are you so cold?" ”

Chen Ning showed some just the right amount of contempt: "Brother Shuyi, Gan Baihu is an undercover agent, and he doesn't want me to have too much contact." ”

Zhang Jaw still felt that there was something wrong with it, but he couldn't find anything to refute.

Chen Ning knew that Zhang Jaw's ambition had been hooked up by himself, but he didn't want him to hesitate so much, let go of his anger, and then exhaust himself, if he really shrank his head, he could only find another way.

Glancing at the other two people in the carriage, Chen Ning turned to Zhang Jaw again and said, "Brother Shuyi, I have carefully observed below, and I happened to have the opportunity to do that big thing in the past few days." If you hesitate, give me the right word, and I'll get out of the car and look for someone else. As we said before, if Brother Shuyi goes to inform, it will not be beneficial, but will provoke death. I go to find others, you just need to wait and see, in the future, I will let the Zhang family invest in a shipping company license, which is also a reward for Brother Shuyi's secrets, how about it? ”

Zhangjaw still hesitated.

Whistleblowers, more likely to be unlucky first.

Watching from the sidelines, he will only have one qualification to buy shares in the future, and he is really unwilling.

Participation, once it is done, glory and wealth are at your fingertips. Even if you fail, you don't necessarily implicate yourself, even if you ...... It's a big deal to really go to sea, anyway, the original family business is no longer sustainable. When you go to sea, you can't say that there will be a comeback.

Thinking so, Zhang Jaw's gaze unconsciously turned to his worship brother.

Chen Ning had also described the prospect of doing this big thing with Xiang Er before, if it happened, he, who could only hide in Tibet at the moment, would also be able to get an official and a half-post in the Navy Governor's Mansion.

Whenever he thought of the 5,000-material giant ship moored outside the east gate, Xiang Er couldn't hide his enthusiasm, and when he saw his brother looking over, he immediately said: "Brother, just give him a vote!" ”

Zhang's jaw turned to Jingmen again.

Jingmen also nodded: "I listen to the eldest brother." ”

Zhang Jaw looked at Chen Ning again, and finally hesitated, and then said, "Brother Mingze, that letter ...... It's not that I don't believe you, if it comes to life in the future, I also need a credential, so that my brothers don't end up with death? ”

Chen Ning understood that things were one step closer, suppressed his inner emotions and did not let his expression be revealed, and took out a letter from his arms.

This is Chen Ning's handwritten letter forged by Chen Ning after repeated word by word in recent days, which is not explicitly stated, but anyone who reads and reads can understand between the lines that Lord Zuo Xiang is full of anger at His Majesty the Emperor for being confused by the people, and hopes that Chen Ning will contact loyal ministers and righteous people to kill the traitor.

Pretending to hesitate, Chen Ning took out the letter in the envelope and handed it to Zhang Jaw: "The two of us are one and a half." ”

Zhang Jaw took the letter, but shook his head.

Xiang Ermeng next to him stretched out his hand, snatched the envelope and handed it to his brother, while chanting: "Ren Di is not cool." ”

The letter was forged by Chen Ning and written by Li Shanchang himself, and the envelope was printed with Li Shanchang's private seal, which was also forged by Chen Ning. The separation of the letter and the seal was also Chen Ning's intention, and it was a 'smart person' like Zhang Jaw who was dealing with it, implying that by doing this, Lord Zuo Xiang could easily deduce forgery.

Zhang Jaw took the envelope handed to Xiang Er, glanced at Chen Ning's unwilling stunned appearance, slowly packed the letter, stuffed it into his sleeve, and then said to Chen Ning: "Brother Mingze, let's talk about it, what should we do?" ”

……

At midnight in the afternoon, Xue Shu rushed to the Yinghai Envoy's mansion, and Zhu Yuan had just finished taking a nap not long ago, and was writing hard in his office with a clear idea that he had just woken up.

After Li Gui passed the report, when Xue Shu entered the door, Zhu Yuan directly handed over a pen and paper: "Come, try your math, I said you count." ”

Xue Shu wanted to give a salute, but when he heard this, he simply waived it, stepped forward, and unceremoniously pulled a chair and sat opposite the little adult of the camping sea envoy, picked up the charcoal, and looked over.

Zhu Yuan said: "A brand new unit of weight, ton, the ton of Koutun, one ton is equal to 2,000 catties, and then count our stone, according to 150 catties, you calculate, 1 million tons, roughly equal to how many stones?" ”

If Liu Lian is here, he will definitely distinguish between him and his own Shangguan that a stone is more than 150 catties and the like, and the so-called 'stone' at the moment is mainly a unit of volume, and the weight of a stone is also different for different grains.

Xue Shu was not a person who would be more serious in these subsections, and after listening to Zhu Yuan's words, he began to calculate with the kind of simple numbers that he was also proficient in these days.

After a while, Xue Shu raised his head and handed over the paper full of numbers in front of him: "Hanlin, if the calculation of the lower officials is correct, 1 million tons, about 13.33 million stones." ”

Zhu Yuan continued to write, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's higher than Daming's grain endowment of 11 million stones last year, well, not bad." ”

Xue Shu glanced at what Zhu Yuan was writing and asked, "Why did Hanlin calculate this?" ”

Zhu Yuan said: "I'm not very good at math, let you help confirm it." ”

Xue Shu asked curiously, "What are you sure about?" ”

Zhu Yuan finally raised his head and glanced at Xue Shu, and said, "Confirm that I caught 1 million tons of fish, which is about how many stones." ”

Xue Shu was stunned, pulled the paper he had just pushed away, looked at it, and looked up at the opposite side: "1 million tons...... Fish? ”

"Yes, haven't you calculated," Zhu Yuan said with a smile: "It's about 13.33 million stones, and if it's more detailed, it's 2 billion catties, well, it's 2 billion catties, you can calculate it again, don't have an extra zero." ”

Xue Shu looked at the calculation he had just made, but he still couldn't hold back, picked up the charcoal again and scribbled for a while, then confirmed, nodded slightly, and said, "Yes...... 2 billion catties. Hanlin, you mean, you plan to catch 2 billion catties of fish from this sea? ”

】

"What do you think?"

Xue Shu felt that his throat was a little dry, swallowed his saliva, and said, "Xiaguan...... It's hard to believe. ”

"So, you ancients have long hair and short knowledge," Zhu Yuan continued to bow his head and write, while teasing: "My goal is already very low, only one-tenth of the fishing potential of my Daming Sea Frontier, and if it is placed in the world's waters, it is only one percent." ”

Xue Shu watched the little boy opposite the book in just over a month to finalize the grain transportation step by step, he didn't think that Zhu Yuan would be a person who spoke falsely, but the catch of 1 million tons of fish is only one-tenth of the fishing potential of the Daming Sea and one percent of the world's waters...... He thought it was incredible when he heard this.

Zhu Yuan didn't say much to him, and after writing the last few lines of this page, he paused, put away the manuscript, and asked, "What is the matter with me?" ”

Xue Shu hurriedly got up and arched his hand: "Hanlin, the lower officials want to ask about running the school, but you promised that the soldiers and soldiers who participated in the shipping and the children of farmers and fishermen can be given priority in enrollment?" ”

Zhu Yuan locked the manuscript in a drawer, stood up, and said with a smile: "You really can't wait to beat me for the idea of money?" ”

Xue Shu said seriously this time: "Those are not Hanlin's money, but Yinghaisi's money." ”

"Well, you're right," Zhu Yuan said: "It is expected that Dinghai will gather about 70,000 soldiers and soldiers, as well as fishing households under the jurisdiction of the Yinghai Division, and recently the coastal states and counties have submitted the list I originally requested, with a total of 13,654 households, and the combination of the two, the Yinghai Division should consider providing at least 30,000 teenagers for schooling." ”

Xue Shu said excitedly: "Does Hanlin want to regret it? ”

Zhu Yuan also glanced at him, walked towards the door, and said, "Even if I regret it, what can you do with me?" ”

Xue Shu said: "If it is spread out, I am afraid it will be detrimental to Hanlin's reputation." ”

Zhu Yuan stood at the door and stopped, and looked at Xue Shu again with a smile: "Do I still have a good reputation in Dinghai?" ”

Xue Shu: "......"

Zhu Yuan didn't wait for Xue Shu to answer, and had already continued: "I don't care about this, at the same time, I will continue to do what I promised, but things must be done slowly, and building a school is not as simple as building a few houses." ”

Zhao Xu brought someone to carry the sedan chair over, and Zhu Yuan finally said: "I'm going to the river again to embarrass people, Xue Qingtian, let's be together today, I can't always let you follow me to make a good reputation." ”

Saying that, he walked to the sedan chair, habitually rubbed the head of a certain sack girl who appeared as usual, Zhu Yuan got on the sedan chair, and called the small sack to come up together.

Xue Shu hesitated slightly, he also knew what Zhu Yuan was talking about, and remembered the simple arithmetic problem he had just done, and when he saw that the sedan chair had been lifted away, he simply followed.

Today I want to take a look at the usage of purse seine nets and purse seine nets.

Zhu Yuan already has very detailed drawings at hand, but if he talks about it on paper, he still has to see it with his own eyes.

In fact, when you look at the sea, you can have a more specific image, but it's a pity that someone resolutely doesn't let Zhu Yuan go to sea, even if he can't go to the beach. understands that Hua Gao is also thinking about his own safety, Zhu Yuan is not a person who doesn't know what to do, so he can only agree.

When I came to the bank of the Yongjiang River in the west of the city, the time was already the beginning of the Shen Shi, around three o'clock in the afternoon.

When Zhu Yuan came to the shore, he instructed that the operation of the purse seine net could be demonstrated, and he didn't bother to pay attention to the people who ran around to see the excitement as usual.

Since Xue Shu came, some of the records that were supposed to be carried out in person were also captured on the spot, and he only needed to dictate a few words when he thought of it.

The main thing is still two 500 material boats, and the purse seine net is also specially customized recently, compared with the kind used by ordinary fishermen, the difference is only one word - big.

Very big.

It's a pity not at sea.

Zhu Yuan occasionally gave a few orders while observing, and occasionally asked Xue Shu next to him to write down something, but Lin Xiaoyu, who was always guarding next to his own petty official, was a little deserted.

The sack girl grew up on the lake, and was accustomed to fishing, even if it was such a big boat and such a big net, she didn't find it new after seeing it a few times, but she was looking around curiously, like ...... There was a small fishing boat on the other side, going from west to east, but the small fishing boat ...... When he came from the west, he was obviously leaning on the south bank, and after being covered by several large ships, he appeared on the other side, and was obviously much closer to the north bank.

Lin Xiaoyu tilted her head, she didn't have any professional training, she didn't have much vigilance, just a little strange.

However, when a person on the boat suddenly stood up, holding a big bow in his hand and aiming at this side, the sack girl reacted quickly, and pushed the little official next to her to the ground with a chair, and then Weng - With a sound, Lin Xiaoyu, who was lying on his own little official, only felt a strong wind passing over his head, and then there was a cry of pain behind him.

Zhao Xu, who was beside Zhu Yuan, reacted for the second time, seeing a sharp arrow flying past the seat where the little master was originally sitting, only to feel a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, shouting 'protect the adult', and he also rushed towards Zhu Yuan.

Regardless of who the arrow fell on just now, a group of guards all rushed forward, instantly encircling Zhu Yuan impenetrable.

Lin Xiaoyu nimbly got out of the crowd before everyone came around, she always felt that she was a big girl, but she didn't want to be crushed by a group of people like the last time she was hit by an explosion.

When he came to the shore, Lin Xiaoyu saw that the people on the boat seemed to be unwilling to draw their bows, and took out the two copper balls that his little official had given him earlier, charged his strength, and threw them.

Weng –

Weng –

The strong explosive force released in the girl's small body in an instant made the two copper balls also make a sharp sound like arrows breaking through the air.

Some soldiers on the shore who had tried to fire arrows but had failed to reach the boat heard the sound of breaking the air, and when they looked over, they saw that the head of the man on the boat who was still with his bow stretched out seemed to have been hit by a heavy object, and in an instant a puddle of blood seemed to bloom, and almost at the same time another impact, pushing the man's already stiff body into the river again.

Seeing all this, the soldier couldn't help but open his mouth wide and turn to a certain sack girl.

Camp Sea Envoy by your side...... Who is this?

Little monster?!

A certain Nizi didn't stop there, turned her head to see that her little official was well protected by everyone, and saw another person on the boat, jumping into the river, and after a little hesitation, she took a few steps forward, and her light little body jumped into the water without hesitation.

After a while, the people on the shore saw a 'sack' slowly floating on the water, but the girl who usually wrapped herself tightly in the sack was nowhere to be found.
