Daming Junior Scholar

After He Jiaan finished speaking, he turned to the door and said, "Tang Lin, how are things going?"

The door was pushed open again, Tang Lin whispered: "Go back to your lord, you haven't come back yet."

"Oh, in that case, I'll wait a little longer."

Li Fu suddenly understood, why is Xiao Shunzi not outside, has he been arrested by He Jiaan's people to search his place?

Thinking of this, Li Fu suddenly became grim, pointed at He Jiaan's nose and said, "Surnamed He, don't bully others too much, if you dare to confiscate the money of the Zajia family, the Zajia family will not come before the Long Live Lord." tell you to go."

"Say it." He Jia'an spread his hands confidently, and then sneered, "My surname is Li, don't think that I don't know anything. Since you became the supervisor, you have been against me everywhere. Halfway You pretended to be ill to obstruct your journey, when you arrived in Suzhou you secretly bought soldiers, and when you arrived in Paju you used tricks to defraud Wang Xizhuo, the household secretary, and you even ordered Xie Tiansheng and the other three to spread rumors in the army, causing a mutiny in the navy. Li Fu, Li Fu, Why didn't I see that you are so talented?"

"You, you..." All these things hidden in my heart were suddenly shaken out by He Jiaan, and the expression on Li Fu's face suddenly became extremely exciting, with his mouth open and trembling, it took him a long time to summon up the courage to say: "He Jiaan, You are making a false accusation, and the miscellaneous family will go to the Long Live Lord to tell you clearly."

"Bah." He Jiaan spat heavily at Li Fu, and said with disdain: "It's just you, you still want to go to the emperor to sue me? Don't think that everyone is like you, doing nothing all day long, every day Knowing how to plot against others, I am so busy now that I am kicking the back of my head, but the Japanese pirates did not come, but you eunuchs always make trouble for me.”

"What's the matter, say you're not convinced? This is the last time I'm warning you, Li, to be your supervisor honestly, and let's live in peace. If you're dishonest and insist on jumping up and down, Don't blame me for being rude to you."

After listening to He Jiaan's words, Li Fu really wanted to say something back to him, but for some reason, he couldn't muster up his courage, so in the end he could only snort heavily, and found himself a step down: "Miscellaneous people don't know as much as you do."

"You think I'm not as knowledgeable as you?" At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and then Tang Lin walked in, whispered to He Jiaan, and then backed out. He Jiaan looked at Li Fu again. The expression on his face was somewhat gloomy.

He Jiaan said slowly, "Eunuch Li, you'd better remember what I said just now, if you still mess with me behind my back next time..." After a pause, He Jiaan said quietly: "I heard that there are real Japanese and fake Japanese among Japanese pirates, and sometimes fake Japanese will kill people."

Isn't it obvious that he is scaring himself with Japanese pirates?

Li Fu raised his eyes, and was about to say a few harsh words, but He Jiaan, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped, then looked at Li Fu with a strange expression, and suddenly asked after a long while: "I don't know anything about it. , want to inquire about a thing or two with Eunuch Li."

"What's the matter?" Li Fu asked subconsciously.

"How did Eunuch Li spend that night in the brothel?"

"He Jiaan, you are too deceptive."

Chapter 1209 An Unknown Omen

Chapter 1209 An Unknown Omen

It has been more than a month since the last mutiny incident, probably because he was frightened by He Jiaan's methods, Li Fu has been acting very quiet for a while, and his daily work is to walk around these construction sites, and then take away the money that costs money every day. Account books, a letter is sent to the capital every ten days, so that Zhengde can grasp the current progress of the construction site.

The artillery factory has already been completed, but after enlarging and thickening the gun barrel, the craftsmanship has become much more difficult. Mr. Bai has been staying on the construction site these days to solve this matter, but He Jiaan is worried about the old man's health and has been persuading him Don't be too impatient. Sometimes things are like this. The more anxious you are, the less you can find a solution. On the contrary, if you relax and relax, you may be able to find the difference from another angle.

The good news from the Artillery Factory has not yet come, but Chen Yi got the good news first. After a month of racing against time, the reduced version of the warship has been completed.

He Jiaan was quite excited when he heard the news. After all, both the current navy and the navy before the Ming Dynasty must have a boat to be worthy of the name. This small boat is just the beginning, but it is a good start. If this step If you can really go right, I believe that within a few years, a fleet armed to the teeth will be in the waters of Daming.

Taking Tang Lin with them, the two of them rode horses and came to the location of the shipyard with light clothes. Although most of the shipyard has been formed, there are still many craftsmen who are busy on the construction site, watching the bustling scene in front of them However, He Jiaan suddenly saw a familiar figure in the distance, with a sly smile on his face, and He Jiaan took Tang Lin and walked over together.

"Hey, isn't this Eunuch Li? It's been a long time." He Jiaan pretended to be familiar and stood in front of Li Fu, and said with a smile: "Eunuch Li is very interested in coming to the shipyard today. Can you find something that is not pleasing to the eye? You can tell the official directly, and the official will solve it immediately."

When he saw He Jiaan, Li Fu couldn't get angry in his heart. Not to mention being humiliated by He Jiaan in the restaurant last time, even the thousands of taels of silver he brought with him were all taken away by him. Keep it for myself, but no one knows what evil intentions are hidden in his heart. If he hadn't taken advantage of him, he would have wished to immediately suspend the letter and send a letter to the long live Lord of the capital to take off his official hat early.

It's just that I'm just thinking about it, I'm in his hands, and it's not time to turn against him yet, but He Jia'an, don't be too happy, sooner or later, I will let you fold in my hands of.

Li Fu has already done too many things like disagreement, so although he hated He Jiaan in his heart, he smiled naturally on his face and said: "Master He is rigorous in his work, neither the shipyard nor the artillery factory has any What is the problem, Zajia wishes Mr. He an early success."

"Thank you, Eunuch Li." He Jia'an didn't know that he had already offended Li Fu thoroughly. He just failed to catch his own pain. If he really did something wrong, he would have sent the news Passed it to the capital.

Seeing that Li Fu was about to leave the shipyard, He Jiaan rolled his eyes, but asked to stay: "Eunuch Li, wait a minute, it just so happens that the shipyard has a new ship launching, why don't you and I go see it together?"

"Oh?" Li Fu naturally also heard that Chen Yi's boat had been launched, and when he heard what He Jiaan said, he nodded his head after thinking for a while, and said with a hypocritical smile: "If that's the case, then let Mr. He lead the way."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go first, Eunuch Li, hurry up." After finishing speaking, He Jiaan and Tang Lin rode to the other side of the shipyard quickly, leaving only billowing smoke and dust for Li Fu and his party.

He waved his hand and brushed away the dust in front of him. Li Fu stared gloomyly at He Jia'an who was going away, and Xiao Shunzi said bitterly: "Elder-in-law, this He family is really too arrogant, we can't do that." Hold on, what must be done?"

"What are you doing?" Li Fu glared at him with a dark face, and then scolded heavily: "If it weren't for your stupid idea, would our house be copied by others? If you give such a stupid idea to miscellaneous If not, you should go back to the capital for the miscellaneous family as soon as possible."

Well, I didn't expect to be scolded by Li Fu as soon as he was in his early years. Xiao Shunzi immediately withered back and followed Li Fu for a long time before finally seeing He Jiaan. Seeing Li Fu's arrival, He Jiaan was very excited Pointing to the boat floating in the water, he said, "Look, Eunuch Li, our warship is not much worse than that of Frangji, right?"

Without He Jiaan's introduction, Li Fu saw the small boat floating on the water at a glance. It was only two or three feet long, but its appearance was extremely exquisite. The mouth and sails are also all installed on it, except that there is a person on it who is in charge of rowing, the rest is no different from the Fran's engine ship.

"Congratulations, Mr. He, you have another powerful arm. It seems that with Master Chen's help, the completion of a warship is just around the corner. At that time, the sea of ​​Ming Dynasty will depend on Mr. He to guard it."

Regardless of whether Li Fu’s words came from his sincerity, He Jia’an was still very useful. He laughed and said, “Eunuch Li’s words are different. Daming’s seas cannot be guarded by me alone, and our navy Thousands of soldiers, when the time comes, let's drive the Japanese pirates back to their hometowns and see if they can still be so arrogant."

Chen Yi here is also very excited. Although this small boat took a very short time to manufacture, it took a lot of effort. The key problem is that this Fran's boat is completely different from the craftsmanship he has learned. , I slowly explored it step by step. Although I have already created a replica, I also clearly realize that there is still a distance of [-] miles from the final product, and I still need to continue to explore. .

After driving on the sea for a while, the boat finally approached the shore. Just as He Jiaan was about to lean up to check the details of the hull, the ground under his feet trembled slightly. Just as He Jiaan was stunned, A huge explosion sound spread to everyone's ears.

He Jiaan hurriedly looked back, but saw a thick black smoke rising from a distance in his sight, and then looked at the place where the black smoke rose, it was clearly the location of the Artillery Factory.

No, something happened.

How could He Jia'an still not understand that a big accident happened in the artillery factory, the gunpowder in the artillery factory must have been ignited for some reason, how many casualties would be caused by such a loud explosion?I just hope that old man Bai will be fine.

Thinking of this, He Jia'an couldn't wait any longer, and hurriedly ordered: "Tang Lin, take my tiger talisman and dispatch troops to put out the fire."

"Sir, what about you?" Tang Lin took the Tiger Talisman and asked quickly.

"I'll go and have a look now, I just hope there aren't too many casualties." When He Jiaan said this, he didn't have any idea in his heart. If such a big explosion was said to be undead, he wouldn't believe it, and he couldn't care less about it. Looking at the boat here, I quickly got on the fast horse and galloped in the direction of the artillery factory.

Seeing the back of He Jiaan leaving in a hurry, Xiao Shunzi was overjoyed, and leaned close to Li Fu and said softly, "Elder-in-law, our chance has come, I don't know how many people will die in such a big explosion. As long as you send a letter to Long Live Lord..."

Before Xiao Shunzi could finish speaking, there was a crisp sound of 'beep' on his face, and then he heard Li Fu snorted heavily: "Trash, do you think that the miscellaneous family can break away from their relationship after such a big incident? "

Chapter 1210

Chapter 1210

When He Jiaan rushed to the Artillery Factory, the scene was already in a mess. The newly built blast furnace had been cut off in the middle, and thick black smoke was everywhere, making it impossible for him to see clearly what happened on the scene.

Just when He Jiaan was anxious, he finally saw a familiar figure in his line of sight, and he hurriedly called out: "Brother Zhou, here."

What He Jiaan saw was none other than Bai Huatian's proud disciple and his son-in-law Zhou Jing.

The moment he saw He Jia'an, Zhou Jing was also taken aback. He hurried over and said hastily, "Master He, why are you here? It's too dangerous here, you'd better step back."

He Jiaan looked up and looked around, but did not back down, and asked repeatedly: "What happened? Are there any casualties?"

Zhou Jing looked back and felt that it was safe here, so he sighed heavily: "It's not that something happened to the cannon."

The cannon that Zhou Jing mentioned was the newly cast coastal defense cannon prepared by Mr. Bai Huatian after he arrived in Paju. According to He Jiaan's request, the new cannon was thickened and lengthened on the basis of the Franco cannon, striving to achieve a more ferocious Power and greater distance.

Needless to say, it took the old man less than a month to cast this cannon, but after it was cast, everyone was a little skeptical about the power of this cannon, after all, everyone had never tried it before. Such a huge cannon was thickened so much in one go, even Mr. Bai didn't know what to do. After hesitating again and again, he arranged the test firing for today.

Perhaps because he had a premonition that the test launch would fail, the old man did not notify He Jiaan, but arranged the test launch himself, and the place for the test launch was not placed in the yard of the artillery factory, but on the side On the cliff, the muzzle of the cannon was pointing at the vast sea. Everyone would think that even if it failed, there would be no great danger.

But here lies the problem. When the cannon's sub-gun was ignited, the person who lit the cannon quickly ran to a safe position, but after the sub-cluster was ignited, the cannon's shell was not pushed out as expected. On the contrary, the cannon suddenly jumped into the sky for some unknown reason. Due to the heavy weight at the bottom of the cannon body, the whole cannon suddenly turned its head, and the muzzle actually pointed in the direction of the artillery factory.
