Master Sun scratched his head. He had been completely disappointed with the Wu Dynasty. He just wanted to at least have the ability to protect himself before the troubled times came. However, Sangdao's plan was destroyed by himself. Could it be that somehow?

What does it foreshadow?

Today, I had planned to ignore official duties and focus on spending time with my sister, and by the way, I picked up a genius from a poor family. But after going out for a while, I really solved the case of Yuichi Karasawa?!

But how can I tell Liu Zhi and Lu Guangxiao about this achievement?

Sun Changming thought about it, but he could only sigh with regret: I can't live up to this great contribution. No matter how you say it, you can't get around the second brother. Otherwise, how can you explain to the two adults that the dolphin and carp disappeared for no reason? How to explain it to the two adults?

A two-headed eel ate a human, but instead of reporting it to the capital, he dedicated the treasure to himself?

After the second brother finished speaking, he waited for a long time but did not see his eldest brother continue to respond, and asked anxiously: "Brother, you can't cheat. If you take my treasure, you have to help me."

Sun Changming smiled bitterly and said: Give me some time and I will think of a solution.

The little loach suddenly became happy and drew circles in the moat.

…

In the next few days, Sun Changming asked Liu Zhi and Lu Guangxiao to resign several times, and wanted to go back to Mengjiang Dusi, but they were rejected by the two adults. Even later, Mr. Lu Guangxiao even persuaded him with sincerity: "Sangdao's

The matter is of great importance, and I will really feel uneasy if I don't find out where Yuichi Karasawa has gone.

Nowadays, the country is in a difficult situation. I and Mr. Liu don’t have many talents, so I can only work harder for you. After finding out the movements of Tang Ze Yuichi, I will let you return to Mengjiang immediately."

Sun Changming didn't know what to say, so he held it in for a long time and asked: "There are so many people in Chaotian Division, and one more than me is not much, and one less than me is not much. Could it be that the two adults have identified it, and only I can find out?"

Lu Guangxiao and Liu Zhi looked at each other and nodded seriously together.

Sun Changming:......

Well, I can only say secretly that you two adults are wise. In this world, I am afraid that I am the only one who knows the truth. But I can’t say it!

Sun Changming went back depressed. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he met a Baihu from the General Secretary's Yamen. He smiled and handed over an invitation: "What a coincidence, I came here on the order of Mr. Lu."

Please invite me to the banquet tomorrow night."

Thinking about the grudge between Lu Guangxiao and He Tianyou, Sun Changming accepted the invitation and said: "Please reply to Mr. Lu, thank you for your kindness. Sun will definitely be there on time."

Yesterday, Meng Hebei met Li Wuming. Sun Changming didn't explain much. He just asked him not to reveal that Li Wuming and the others lived here. Meng Hebei is a dead man. If you don't let me, I won't. If you don't let me, I won't.

I won’t tell you. I won’t even ask why.

Li Wuming's case is still confidential, especially the Southern Xinjiang Flying Bear Army, which strictly blocks information.

Sun Changming came in with the invitation, and Li Wuming stuck his head out in the room: "Master Sun, can we talk about it?" Sun Changming went in. In addition to Li Wuming, there was another senior veteran in the room.

Li Wuming had a troubled expression on his face, as if he was embarrassed to speak. However, the old soldier had a strong character and was outspoken: "Master Sun, we would like to ask why you want to help that foolish king raise money? There are so many spiritual jade, and the foolish king will only use them for pleasure and squandering.

, but there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our Flying Bear Army, and many of them don’t even have enough to eat..."

Li Wuming grabbed him: "Master Sun saved our lives!"

"I know." The veteran was still aggrieved: "Of course I am grateful to Master Sun. There is no problem selling my life to him, but I have been holding this matter in my heart for several days. I feel uncomfortable if I don't say it out!"

When Sun Changming was discussing with Wu Yuanji, some of the less confidential matters were not avoided, and the Flying Bear Army soldiers in the backyard also heard some of them.

The veteran came to question aggressively, but Sun Changming was only sympathetic and not angry. They were respectable and sad people. Sun Changming thought for a moment and explained from a different angle: "[Wan Lisheng] is willing to sponsor the emperor's tour because they can earn back

More spiritual jade. No matter how much money they have, they are a group of businessmen and will not give the spiritual jade to the Fei Xiong Army for free - although in my opinion, the Fei Xiong Army is far more deserving of these spiritual jade than the emperor."

As for why he helped the emperor raise money to build a flying palace, Sun Changming would not say that it was a confidential matter.

The veteran's eyes showed pain: "This world is ridiculous! If we didn't fight hard in southern Xinjiang, how could the emperor sit back and relax in the capital? How could Wan Lisheng make a lot of money?"

Sun Changming sighed, but he agreed with this sentence: "Yes, this world is ridiculous!"

The veteran asked again: "When will your Excellency leave Beijing? We want to rush back as soon as possible. This time we came to participate in the Dragon and Snake Ranking, originally we wanted to take the opportunity to ask for pay... Now we just want to return to the army, even if we die, we will follow

We all died together on the battlefield!"

Sun Changming asked: "How long will the spiritual jade you grabbed before be enough to last?"

This time it was Li Wuming who answered: "About three months."

"I...will help you think of a solution."

Li Wuming said quickly: "We can't implicate you anymore. You have already taken a huge risk by saving us." Sun Changming waved his hand: "I just want to think of a way. I can't say whether there is a way. You guys also

Don't have too high expectations. You have also seen the current state of the imperial court. It is a fool's errand to ask the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs to come up with money."

He shook his head, and finally just sighed: "That's all, you should rest early."

Sun Changming really admires men like the Fei Xiong Army, but how can such a large amount of military expenditure be obtained easily? He just asked the emperor for the establishment of the Mengjiang Water Division, and it would cost a large sum to set up the navy.

money.

Of course, the Mengjiang Navy is not just to blockade the Mengjiang River, but to build airships. When necessary, the fleet will be quickly transferred to the South China Sea and the East China Sea!

Airships are much more expensive than ordinary battleships...

In addition, Mr. Sun also had a little selfishness. So the next day, he first went to the Ordnance Department of the Ministry of Industry.

The emperor has made a decree and given Sun Changming great "support", in addition to Lingyu. Sun Changming came to the Arms Department today to review the battleship refining drawings and determine what kind of battleships the Mengjiang Navy needs. By the way, can I

We can't kidnap a group of weapon masters from the Arms Department.

As soon as he entered the Ministry of Works, he found that everyone here looked at him with a strange look from top to bottom, and... everyone's attitude towards him was not very friendly.

After waiting for an hour, the Ministry of Industry sent a Yuanwailang to greet him. The first thing the Yuanwailang said when he saw him was: "So you are that Sun Changming!"

The tone of these words was extremely rude. Sun Changming raised his eyebrows and wanted to get angry. Is it okay that the Holy Family is in full swing now... As a result, Yuanwailang waved his arms exaggeratedly and shouted inside: "Take the weapons from our Arms Department."

The teachers are all careful, don’t let Mengjiang’s guys kidnap me again!”

"Fire prevention, theft prevention, the alarm bell is ringing——"

Master Sun had a look of astonishment on his face. He originally thought that he had given the order for the flying palace to the Jiuyun Sect and that the Ministry of Industry could not get any profit, so he had a grudge against himself. He did not expect that the real problem was here.

Master Sun really doesn't know how "notorious" he is in the Arms Department and the entire Ministry of Industry! A group of well-behaved senior weapon masters went to Mengjiang Dusi and refused to come back even after saying anything!

I would rather pay for it myself than leave the Arms Department and become Lord Sun's retainer!

Unexpectedly, various news kept coming back and spread among other weapon masters in the Ordnance Department, which caused people's hearts in the Ordnance Department to fluctuate. Many weapon masters were tempted and even learned bad things!

This is a world of practitioners. The situation of the weapon masters in the Arms Department is completely different from that of the craftsmen in Sun Changming's previous life. Who dares to look down on the weapon masters?

Therefore, this made it very difficult for everyone in the Ministry of Industry to deal with it, and they also hated Mr. Sun deeply!

Yuan Wai Lang shouted like this, and there was a flurry of excitement in the Arms Department. Mr. Sun waited for another half an hour before Yuan Wai Lang took him in. The entire Arms Department was completely naked, and all the weapons masters were gone, leaving only

Here are some minor officials.

Yuanwailang said proudly: "Okay, whatever Mr. Sun wants, you can find it yourself. Your Majesty has given the order, and of course our Ministry of Industry fully supports it, hehehehe!"

Sun Changming was speechless for a while, then explained his purpose to the small officials, who led him to the warehouse: "The blueprints for making various warships are all here. You can decide which one to use."

Sun Changming looked outside and saw that the Yuanwailang had gone back. Then he smiled and said to the young official: "Brother, are you interested in coming to our Mengjiang Dusi? The salary can be increased. Our Mengjiang Dusi is very good now."

Lack of talent..."

The clerk smiled bitterly and said: "Master Sun, are you too confident in your gangster Jiang Dusi? I am also a Beijing official after all."

Sun Changming's original intention was not the same, and he immediately said: "So, brother, are you willing to make some extra money? I am planning to recruit a group of weapon masters from the Ordnance Department. They will leave the Ordnance Department. When going through the formalities, brother will let you go. Every time

Personally, I will give my brother a thousand spiritual jade."

"Hiss——" The clerk was secretly shocked. This is because Mr. Sun is indeed a talent. The Ministry of Industry specially compiled a warning slogan "Prevent fire and theft, the alarm bell sounds" because of him. It is really not innocent.

Sun Changming wants to poach someone in the Ordnance Department, and those weapons masters are easy to talk to. The current group of Master Sun's men can do it for him. But the Ordnance Department and the Ministry of Industry will definitely stop him and hinder him - any clerk, no matter what.

Excuses about procedures can hold people back.

And the people who are most familiar with the ways here are just old officials like him who have been with the department for a long time!

The clerk secretly thought: If he helps secretly, or comes up with ideas... it is really possible for Mr. Sun to poach a large number of senior weapon masters. But Mr. Sun offers so much, how can anyone refuse this?

The clerk quietly put a communication talisman into Sun Changming's hand without saying a word.

Then he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, feel free to check." Then he went out. Sun Changming began to look for what he wanted in the warehouse of the Arms Department.

There were many types of warships in the Wu Dynasty. Sun Changming made a copy of all the refining blueprints. He will decide later which ones he will choose for his Mengjiang fleet. The real purpose of Mr. Sun coming to the Arms Department is to find out if there are any

Catalog of the construction of the five-tusked giant ship.

As for the battleships of the previous dynasties, the Arms Department does have a collection here, but this part of the information is just piled up in a mess, and no one is dedicated to sorting it out. This adds a lot of workload to Sun Changming, who has to go one by one.

to check.

Generally speaking, Sun Changming can confirm that today's people are better than the ancients. The current level of warships of the Wu Dynasty is far superior to that of the previous dynasties. Even if the refining catalogs of the previous generations are ahead of the Wu Dynasty, they are only in some special cases.

Fields, and these fields are often areas that the navy of the Great Wu Dynasty did not focus on and did not develop specifically.

Just like the Five-Toothed Ship that Sun Changming wanted, the Great Wu Dynasty could also build the equally huge "Daqian Ship", and its overall attack power even exceeded that of the Five-Toothed Ship, but it could not change its shape like the former, and could be attached to various weapons.

On the instrument.

In order for the Five-Tooth Ship to have those special functions, its refining cost is several times higher than that of the Daqian Ship! The refining difficulty also rises sharply.

Times are developing, and so is practice. By the time of the Great Wu Dynasty, it was already understood that this kind of standard equipment does not need to be perfect, but only needs to be divided into categories, each responsible for each other, and cooperate with each other, which can not only save costs, but also speed up the refining speed.

, and the effect may be better.

The loss of the Five-Toothed Ship is also inevitable.
