The letter said that Wu Tianfeng, Wei Ning, and Chen Xuangan had come to the territory for the third time, and they knew that Jiang Xingchen was returning and were waiting for him. And the second prince, the marshal, also wrote that he was coming. In addition, several major trading houses such as the World Commercial Bank have also arrived.

Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but laugh softly when he saw this news, of course he knew the purpose of the several legion commanders, and he also knew what the marshal and the second prince were doing, and the emperor was definitely not happy in his heart!

He attacked Chongming Island and Mandan Island this time, on the one hand, for the sake of interests, he needed to establish a base! On the other hand, it was to deter overseas, and if he still had any ideas in his heart, I am afraid it would be for the emperor to see.

He knew that as long as the cannon was designed, the emperor would not be able to feel good, and he would definitely want the production technology of the cannon! But he didn't want to hand over this technology, and he had to leave this as a guarantee, unless the base was built and he had more powerful weapons, he would consider exchanging it for benefits!

In the last ancient life, there was a saying that if the founding generals of the past dynasties did not know how to retire after success, few would have a good end. His current situation is stricter than that of the founding general of the previous generation, and not only has his merits been monstrous, but the emperor has no reward. He still holds a sharp weapon in his hand that can shake the foundation of a country, even if he is the emperor himself, he will not be at ease with such a person.

What made him very fortunate was this sub-feudal system, he had the possibility of early development, and Old Man Tang Tian was also doing his best to defend him, and there was an orc alliance behind him. Therefore, after the invention of the grenade, he dared to argue with the emperor and not go to the imperial capital to restore his life! If he had been put under the centralized system, he would have been accused by the emperor of becoming a puppet. Even now, he himself didn't dare to run to the imperial capital.

This time, he didn't hand in the cannon because he was worried that the emperor would hide his bow and turn around and use the cannon against himself. That's why he's playing so big overseas. It's to sue the emperor, and I dare to shout the grenade that time. It's the same this time, you'd better think it through. It's good for all of us to work together.

Of course, he knew that the Great Emperor could not rest assured, the power displayed by the cannon was too great, and he must listen to his attitude. This is also the reason why he said before he left that he had already taken countermeasures, because he knew that if the emperor was calm enough, the two sides would still have a cooperative relationship, and the emperor would never ask for guilt.

"Xingchen! they're all coming for the cannons, right?" Tang Chuxue asked beside him.

"Needless to say!" Jiang Xingchen smiled.

"Looks like you don't want to hand it over. I'm not afraid that the emperor will turn his face!" Tang Chuxue also laughed.

Jiang Xingchen shook his head and said, "What I'm afraid of is that if I hand over the Cannon Technology Emperor and turn his face again, then I will be miserable!"

Tang Chuxue nodded and didn't speak! But her desire to leave was completely gone, she wanted to stay by Jiang Xingchen's side to protect him for the rest of her life......

Then Jiang Xingchen began to arrange, the investment on the side of the Cursed Land should be increased, and the protection force should also be strengthened. The production of cannons is here, and shipyards must also increase their investment!

Two letters were written. The one million yuan stone from the Wang family's side directly left 600,000 yuan here. 500 million citrine coins were also allocated from Xingchen Ling, 400 million were put into shipyards, and 100 million were used to build defensive offensives.

In the end, Jiang Xingchen also mobilized 1,000 veterans. All rotated from the Far North Ice Sheet. In the future, they will not have to go to the Far North Ice Sheet to suffer. In fact, there is a hovering guard there, and there are not too many people.

After arranging, Jiang Xingchen and Tang Chuxue set off. Before leaving, he went to see Doudou. Doudou was very reluctant and pestered Tang Chuxue to prevent them from leaving. In the end, Jiang Xingchen gave it three reunions, and only then could he coax this little guy well. I don't know if it's really reluctant. Or to get a few more chunks of vitality.

None of the craftsmen who came with them went back. The production of cannon parts is an assembly line method, which can be done with ordinary labor. But the overall inspection and assembly must be carried out by one's own person. Therefore, these craftsmen can only stay here for the time being, waiting for Jiang Xingchen to return and transfer personnel to replace them.

On the way back, Jiang Xingchen was thinking that the emperor must have a headache now. He judged it accurately, but he didn't expect the Great Emperor to have even more headaches than he expected. Even if the emperor can endure it, the ministers in the court can't help it, how can such a powerful weapon not be nationalized, Jiang Xingchen must hand over the cannon technology to the state.

The ministers are noisy in the court, and the emperor is so angry that his lungs are about to explode, if he can collect it, he still needs a headache, these people who can only shout are forcing themselves.

In the end, the emperor was angry, and said that if any of you will do this, whoever does it will be counted as a great achievement!

Don't look at their noisy joy, if you really want to do something, you will be completely cowardly. If it can't be done, the emperor will probably have to cut himself down......

In mid-April, the stars of early spring are full of greenery, and there is a vibrant scene everywhere.

At the site of Qingshan Village, the underground works of the university town have been completed, the external outline has basically taken shape, and thousands of people have stepped up the construction of the above-ground buildings.

The paving of the road on the new side of the new city is almost complete, and you can still see the frame of many four-story small buildings, but because the new city is too large, it seems to be scattered. Countless carriages come in and out, making people feel like they are in full swing at a glance.

The cultivated land around the new town has also increased a lot, and Shi Wazi received a letter from Jiang Xingchen and deliberately reduced a large area of pasture for animal husbandry to open up arable land in order to grow potatoes and corn.

Grape cultivation also resumed, this time not with seeds, but with notes brought back from a few trips to the Tibetan Valley.

Now is the busy time of spring ploughing, and many people are busy in the fields.

Several slopes of the back mountain are covered with a variety of early-blooming flowers, and walking into them is like being in a sea of flowers, and countless large bees gather in swarms to collect honey in it.

The new town is even more lively, although it is the spring ploughing, but there are still a lot of tourists, the streets are crowded, the shops are very prosperous, and the flow of customers in and out is like weaving.

A whining whistle sounded, and a huge train came from the direction of Hongyuan City like a long snake. Soon, another large number of tourists poured into the new town......

In the garrison of the Iron Sword Mercenary Group, Zhao Danqing and the second brother were staring intently at a cylinder in the old man's hand. The old man had a smile on his face.

"Old man, Brother Jiang used this thing to find us in the first place? are you sure?" Zhao Danqing said with some suspicion.

The old man pursed his lips: "Nonsense! I can still bluff you, I inquired about the ancestor for a long time before I heard about it!"

"Then how did you get your hands on it?" the second brother asked.

"How else can I get it, ask Xian Ning to borrow it! My old man will open his mouth, and Xian Ning will refute my face!"

"Phew!" Zhao Danqing and the second brother took a sip at the same time, you will borrow it. If it weren't for the theft, the two of us would go directly to the septic tank and lift the manhole cover to eat!

"Old man, I heard Brother Jiang say that there are two kinds of people in this world who live the longest, one is a scourge, and the other is what did you create?" Zhao Danqing asked in a low voice.

"What's it?" The old man shook his head in confusion, didn't Jiang Xingchen say that the scourge lives for a thousand years, where did the two come from.

The second brother smiled: "There is another kind of stinky and shameless person like you!"

"I'll make it! You two little souls are tired of life, looking for death, right!" The old man jumped at that time, and he gave a burst of chestnuts with a very fast movement, turned around and left: "I got a good thing to show you, why do you still scold me, go!"

"Don't go, don't go!" Zhao Danqing and the second brother hurriedly grabbed the old man and said with a smile: "Just kidding, you won't be in a hurry!"

"Cut! If I'm in a hurry, you two will really be corpses! Hmph, I don't know what the identity of the old man is, the ancestor, the number one master in the world......"

Seeing that the old guy began to ramble again, Zhao Danqing grinned and complained in his heart: "The identity of bullshit, you are a thief!"

Thinking so in their hearts, of course they wouldn't say that, and said again and again: "Yes, yes, we won't speak...... Just tell us how Brother Jiang found out that we were stealing wine and tea!"

"Why should I tell you!" the old man sneered.

Zhao Danqing glanced at the second brother, and said with a smile: "Second brother, I'll just say it, this old guy must fool us! How could he know Brother Jiang's methods!"

"Yes! If he doesn't say it, forget it, I don't believe it anyway! Let's go, find the landlord of Lao Sidou!" The second brother replied, and Zhao Danqing made a gesture to leave!

The old man sneered: "Little fart boy, how many years have I lived, old man, do you think I can't see such an inferior radical method?"

Zhao Danqing and the second brother paused, and the corners of their mouths twitched twice.

"Paralyzed, come out with me, let you have a good look! I don't believe it yet, wait until I see your jaw drop!" the old man suddenly made a move, dragging a whoosh out of the room.

Zhao Danqing and the two didn't react for a long time, until they came out of the Iron Sword Mercenary Group, the two of them glanced at each other and came to the conclusion: This old guy is really stinky and shameless!

On the hillside of the amusement park, three sneaky figures flickered, hiding behind a large tree.

"Old man, what are you bringing us here for?" Zhao Danqing asked in a low voice.

"Let me show you the telescope!" the old man raised the cylinder in his hand.

"Is this thing called a telescope?" the second brother reached out to get it.

The old man pulled his hand back and scolded, "Don't move!

As he spoke, the old man pulled out the cylinder, grew it a little longer, and then put it on his right eye and tried it, saying, "The telescope, as the name suggests, can see far away!

"Can you see it clearly from such a distance?" Zhao Danqing and the second brother said in surprise.

The old man was very satisfied with the reaction of the two, and nodded: "Of course!"

"Then why did you choose such a place, wouldn't it be better to go to a higher place?" The second brother looked down, and many places in the new town were obscured by the surrounding trees.

"Hehe, this place I have chosen, I can see the best view!" (To be continued......)
