The Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration is the only key project within the Special Administrative Region that does not have external publicity.

Due to confidentiality needs, the Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration did not build Sitang Town, where the garrison yamen is under construction, but was located in the southeast of the Navy Port more than ten miles away from Sitang Town.

This place is very desolate, with reed marshes everywhere, and the land is also saline-alkali land. There is only a brick and stone road more than two miles long connected to the military port.

Eunuch Wei and his party did not alarm the navy generals and went directly to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

This is also the usual style of my father-in-law. Special matters must be handled specifically and urgent matters must be handled quickly. If there is no need to, you will never delay your trip. When encountering an emergency, even if you are fighting in bed, you must withdraw your troops immediately and never come back.

This is, know the severity and the urgency.

Those who have this style of conduct are all big names.

This style naturally affected the generals under his command, which improved the efficiency of all aspects. This is undoubtedly a good thing.

For example, the new guard Cao Hua, the governor of the yamen, was deeply influenced by his father-in-law's style, and led the yamen to work together, hurry up and rush to contribute to the prosperity of the special zone.

The Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration is the highlight of my father-in-law’s first five-year plan and the basis of my father-in-law’s ambitions. Outsiders do not know the nature of the Manufacturing Administration, but my father-in-law knows that once the Manufacturing Administration is on track, a revolutionary era will come.

However, the scene in front of me made my father-in-law very dissatisfied.

Because, a few months have passed, the construction project of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau looks very bad.

In the sight of my father-in-law, except for the wall covered with white lime, there were only two small two-story brick buildings that protruded the walls. He did not see any of the other buildings.

Nani?

My father-in-law looked at it again, but there was still no change.

"It's been a few months, why hasn't there any progress?" My father-in-law was very annoyed. He came over with great enthusiasm and took off his pants just to see the lime wall?

No one dared to say anything about the left and right entourage, and Zheng Duo was the one who could say something. He hesitated to explain why it was like this.

Zheng Duo's explanation is that the construction of the special zone is too heavy, and a large amount of manpower and material resources have been transferred to build roads and houses. Whether it is the ward yamen, the admiral maritime yamen, the maritime exchanges, the guild halls of various chambers of commerce, all require a large amount of manpower and construction materials.

The staff in the SAR is really limited, so we can only focus on the construction of the "facade". In this way, the Jiangnan Manufacturing Administration, which is far away from the core of the SAR, will naturally not get much investment.

The most important thing is that my father-in-law said that he wanted to build the Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration, but he did not make any specific arrangements. For example, the Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration has not presided over the leadership so far.

A "yamen" that doesn't even have the person in charge, naturally looks like this now.

"This is our negligence, it's not your fault."

My father-in-law is humble and did not anger Zheng Duo and the others after realizing it was his fault. This kind of thing is normal. No one is an official, so who will ask for funds to build the yamen?

"Let's go and go in and have a look."

My father-in-law waved his hand and pulled his horse into it. He thought the wall was also broken, but unexpectedly, his eyes lit up.

It’s not that there is a different world behind the wall, all kinds of buildings are all there, and all kinds of technical talents are walking around. Everyone is talking around a giant cannon, but behind the wall is a large square.

The square was divided into several areas, each area was distinguished by various flags. When you approached, you saw that the ground was covered with granular gunpowder.

About hundreds of women were spreading gunpowder one by one under the leadership of several soldiers. From time to time, dried pellets of gunpowder were put away, and new wet gunpowder was transported to spread and dry.

Three rows of bungalows were built behind the small brick building in the distance. Judging from the clothes being dried at the door, they should be the "employee" dormitory.

When the general flag on duty saw Eunuch Wei arrive, he hurried to salute.

The father-in-law nodded, squatted on the ground, grabbed a handful of gunpowder and rubbed it carefully. He found that the particles were very even and met his requirements. He couldn't help but be very happy and looked up at the general flag: "Where are you hundreds of households?"

"The Lord Baihu is making sense with the foreign monks, so I will call him now." After saying that, the general flag raised his foot and rushed to the brick building.

The family asked by my father-in-law was Li Yanzhao whom he promoted. After returning from Zhoushan, his father-in-law transferred Li Yanzhao from the ship and sent him to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau to handle granular gunpowder and fixed gunpowder.

These two things can quickly increase the shooting time and power of muskets. Before new technological innovation and improvement, they are undoubtedly a powerful tool for father-in-law to conquer externally.

As the proposer of fixed-packing gunpowder, Li Yanzhao was the leader in this matter.

After a while, Li Yanzhao hurried there, and there were two father-in-law's acquaintances - missionaries Guo Jujing and Steelon who were rescued from the Yangzhou Canal.

"I don't know that my father-in-law has arrived, so I missed him. I hope my father-in-law will forgive me!"

Li Yanzhao knelt halfway through his knees, because he was too impatient, causing the booklet in his arms to fall off.

When my father-in-law saw the booklet, he couldn't help but feel even more happy. It turned out that the booklet was his "Collected Works of Gongliangchen of Wei". Looking at the cover, it was the latest version compiled by Ruan Dacheng a few days ago.

"What's the crime of Yan Zhao? Get up quickly." The father-in-law moved and actually stepped forward to help Li Yan Zhao himself.

Seeing this, Li Yanzhao was frightened and full of excitement. When he stood up, he did not forget to pick up the collection of father-in-law's documents and put them silently in his arms.

"Young people, you should learn more. Sometimes what we say is very rough, but the words are not rough." My father-in-law looked at the young household who was promoted by him in front of him, as pleased as if he was looking at the younger generation.

It is a good thing for young people to like to study, and it is a great thing for them to like to learn from his Eunuch Wei’s speech!

"Eunuch Wei!"

Guo Jujing looked at the young eunuch who was favored by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty in front of him with a smile. He had completely figured out the other party's identity and was more determined that building a church here was the right choice.

My father-in-law nodded with a smile, but felt a little ashamed, because so far, he had not allocated funds for Guo Jujing to build a church.

Who made this foreign monk not give him Eunuch Wei’s actual benefits so far?

"Dear Mr. Pang Maichen, when did you return?"

The name of Steller is different from that of Guo Jujing. The former sounds more like the official title of the Catholic Church in China, while the latter is a title of personal nature. Compared with "Eunuch Wei", Lord Pang Maichen is obviously more intimate.

My father-in-law also likes Stellone because his name is very domineering.

"We have been back for a while, but the emperor is in trouble and has been busy with official duties and has not been able to meet you. We feel guilty... Yan Zhao, why are these two here?" My father-in-law was a little surprised what the two foreign monks were doing in his military important place.

Li Yanzhao hurriedly said: "Mr. Guo and Mr. Shi came here to help their subordinates."

"Help you?"

My father-in-law was stunned: Are the foreign monks enlightened?
