pipe

The love between two people is sure to make people happy, but Yan Yunhe doesn't have much time to indulge in it, especially this year, not only are there many things, but all of them are big things.

First of all, the first one is Chunwei. I thought it would be postponed due to the war, but the bronze cannon showed its power and quickly ended the war.Because such a large piece of land needs to be managed by people, scientific research is urgently needed to fill the vacancy left by the transfer of personnel.

Therefore, although this scientific examination was postponed, it was still held in that year. Now Los Angeles has gathered students from all over the world, and they are only waiting for the general examination in ten days.

The third is the matter of spring plowing, although it occurs every year, but it cannot be ignored because of the many things this year. On the contrary, due to the rapid development of agriculture, it is even more necessary to step up supervision.

Another point is post-war pensions. Yan Yunhe had already discussed this matter with Minister of the Ministry of War Meng Ke before. Now that the war is over, the previously drafted policies should be implemented step by step to see if it goes smoothly. If there are loopholes in the implementation, they can be corrected as soon as possible. .

Because everything was rushed together, Yan Yunhe really couldn't find time to have a meal with Mrs. Chu, Prime Minister Zuo can testify for him, after all, even Chu Haide stayed in the palace several times due to busy government affairs.

Because of this, Yan Yunhe originally planned to bring up the matter of naval construction after the Bingzhou affairs were completed, but now he can only postpone it for the time being.

However, the investigation of the sea forces has not been slackened. Every month, letters come and go between the coastal ports and Los Angeles, and Yanyunhe also has some understanding of the current Zheng Dynasty's sea area.

Fortunately, the sea troubles of Dazheng have not been as serious as the Ming and Qing Dynasties of the previous generation, and because the original book "Blue Clouds Covering the Moon" focuses on the hostile country in Beiqi, there are no hostile forces overseas.

But the problem exists objectively. Even if the author has never focused on it, with the advancement of human technology and the expansion of the scope of activities, the existence of sea areas is bound to breed sea troubles.

And before the matter of naval construction was clarified in the court meeting, Yanyunhe had already sent people to contact several sea forces to select the suitable ones for future surrender.

At Supu port in the south, a two-decker cargo ship is slowly approaching. The ship is fully loaded with cargo. Just looking at the draft of the hull, you can tell that this must be a big deal. Several foremen are already preparing to make this deal with the owner. In business, loading and unloading goods depends on strength, and everyone under their hands is a strong laborer.

After the cargo ship docked, everything was ready. First, a person in charge got off the ship and led several foremen aside to discuss business, which attracted everyone's attention.So when a person dressed as a scholar gets off the boat again, he won't be so eye-catching.

After Fang Ci got off the boat, he passed by like a fish among the endless crowds, and after a few quarters of an hour, he entered a warehouse at the port, where there were already people waiting for him.

Cui Zhengsu stood up to greet him, with a businessman's friendly smile on his chubby face, and he opened his mouth to compliment, "Mr. Fang is still as gentle and handsome as ever, and I have to trouble Mr. Fang for this trip. I really feel sorry for him. Today, I must go to Chunfeng Building to clean up Mr. Fang's dust."

Although Fang Ci was dressed as a scholar, his skin was rough and dark, and his figure was tall and strong. He seemed to have a lot of strength, and his eyes were fierce, and he was full of energy. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a reckless man.

But this person was also a serious scholar in the early years. Although God's will tricked him into becoming a pirate, he still regarded himself as a scholar, and he thought he was different from the ordinary people at sea.

Therefore, this person especially likes to be praised as a scholar. Cui Zhengsu's nonsense with his eyes open this time is completely flattering him. Even though Fang Ci knows that others are complimenting him, who doesn't like to hear what he likes?

So he made a posture of a scholar, smiled and bowed his hands and said: "Guan Cui is being polite, I am really ashamed of it. This time I received a letter from Cui Guanshi and hurried over here. I only prepared a little courtesy, and I would like to ask Cui Guanshi not to be so polite." Be disgusted, accept my little care."

After Fang Ci finished speaking, he took out a small wooden box and handed his hands to Cui Zhengsu.The reason why he was so polite to the person in front of him was because Cui Guanshi was an unusual person. Although he never made it clear, Fang Ci knew that Cui Zhengsu had a great relationship with Yan Yunhe, the regent of the court.

And the news they got this time is also related to the future of countless people, and he must come to test it out in person before making a decision.

Cui Zhengsu had a few polite words with him, and seeing his firm attitude, it would be unbeautiful to refuse, "Then Cui will be disrespectful, and I will accept Mr. Xia as a gift."

"Guan Cui is polite, open it quickly and see if you like it."

Cui Zhengsu saw that Fang Ci wanted him to see what was in the wooden box, so he opened it right here to see what was inside.

As soon as the box was opened, what Cui Zhengsu saw was an exquisitely crafted object. It had a big belly and a thin mouth, and its purpose was unknown. There was a porcelain bottle on the other side, and it was unknown what was inside.

A few years ago, Cui Zhengsu ran a glass business in Jiangnan for the Wangfu, and opened up the market in Jiangnan with glass products.

Although the price of glass dropped sharply later, they continued to improve their technology, and their output was always at the top. Cui Zhengsu adjusted his strategy according to the trend, and the business was still booming.

The prince saw that he was capable of handling affairs, so he gradually asked him to take care of the affairs in the south, such as the promotion of new rice varieties, monitoring the planting of rubber trees, etc., as the accumulation of contacts.

Not long ago, the prince entrusted him with another important matter. It can be said that if the matter can be accomplished, he should be able to fight for an official position, but if he fails, there will be no bones left.

Cui Zhengsu is an ambitious person, otherwise he would not have volunteered to go to Jiangnan, so he gritted his teeth and accepted this mission.

He believed that he had seen rare objects from all over the world, even those Western goods, there were none he didn't know, but this thing in front of him made him a little confused.

"This is...Mr. Fang, don't blame me for being ignorant and ignorant. I really don't know what is so wonderful about this thing." Cui Zhengsu said.

Fang Ci smiled slightly, and without being a fool, he took out the objects inside and demonstrated to him one by one: "This object is called a pipe, and it contains shredded tobacco. When using it, you only need to put the shredded tobacco into this hole and light it up. That's it."

Wisps of smoke drifted into the air, Cui Zhengsu smelled a somewhat choking smell, Fang Ci was still explaining: "Take a sip here, the taste is refreshing, and even a listless person can change his mind. Spirit, we run on the sea, like this best."

Although Cui Zhengsu was noncommittal, he still gave Fang Ci a try, and he choked after only one puff. Fang Ci hurriedly said: "It often happens the first time, just take a few more puffs and it will be fine."

After drinking two sips of tea, Cui Zhengsu waved his hands and said, "I'm getting old, I can't stand such exciting things anymore, but just now, I feel that it really has a refreshing effect, and scholars should also like it. Come on when you are tired of reading." Such a sip is full of energy, no wonder Mr. Fang admires him, but unfortunately, I am a man full of money, so I can only slowly explore the mystery."

Although it was a bit of a pity, Cui Zhengsu's words gave Fang Ci a slap in the face, thinking that he still had important matters to attend to this time, so it would be okay to let the shredded tobacco business go for a while, so he had to let it go for now.

"Cui Guanshi is polite. This pipe and shredded tobacco were also exchanged with Westerners when we were at sea. At present, Dazheng does not have this item. This is the only thing. Cui Guanshi doesn't mind keeping it as a collection. You can give it away." Fang Ci still wants to do this business, hoping to follow Cui Guanshi's footsteps.

Cui Zhengsu smiled and said, "Thank you Mr. Fang for your kindness. I don't know if you have made up your mind about what you said in the next letter?"

Seeing that Cui Zhengsu was talking about serious business, Fang Ci stopped mentioning the pipe, and he needed Cui Zhengsu to explain some things to him, "I have read the books of sages and sages since I was a child, and I have the ambition to serve the country in my heart, but the world is impermanent, and now I am a bandit at sea. I am indeed unwilling to accept the ending. However, I have supported each other with my brothers all these years, and there is no reason for them to take risks for me. Therefore, I would like to ask Guanshi Cui to give me an accurate word as to what the rules are. "

Cui Zhengsu said solemnly: "Mr. Cui also knows Mr. Fang's benevolence and righteousness. He has taken care of the coastal fishermen over the years, so he went to Mr. Fang. This matter is very important. Mr. Fang, let me tell you one by one..."

On that day, Cui Fang and the two had a secret conversation here until late at night, and Fang Ci was not the only sea power that Cui Zhengsu came into contact with.

But not too many, after all, the pirates are not talking about killing people like hemp, how difficult is it to find a clean place in a muddy field?

After talking with Fang Ci, Cui Zhengsu quickly sent a letter to Los Angeles, and at the same time as the letter arrived, there were also the pipe and shredded tobacco sent by Fang Ci.

Cui Zhengsu always remembered that if he saw something sold for inhalation, he had to hand it in immediately.

When the things arrived in Yan Yunhe's hands, the examination had just ended. He first read the letter and knew that Fang Ci was indeed interested.

But he still wants to fight for greater benefits. If it is just a reward for his name, then this matter will never be possible.

And in the two investigations conducted by Cui Zhengsu and Chu Jing'an, Fang Ci's sea power is considered to be the tallest of the dwarfs, and his reputation in the coastal area is considered the best.

At least they don't disturb Dazheng Liangmin, most of the time they are in the dark, and they have overseas islands as their bases. In recent years, they have devoted themselves to maritime trade.

Yan Yunhe read the letter while thinking, until he saw the end of the letter, the part about the pipe, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he hurriedly opened the box that came with the letter, and saw the pipe and shredded tobacco inside.

He breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then became worried. The construction of coastal defense is urgent. Even if the navy is given three to five years to develop, it may not necessarily build a solid line of defense, not to mention, time waits for no one.

He picked up a pen and set a designated project for the Los Angeles First Institute of Technology-sea ship manufacturing. He immediately formed a team and went to the coastal area to learn about sea ships. He tried his best to improve sea ships. The first major achievement It is necessary to combine bronze cannons with sea ships to create the strongest weapons at sea.
