Zhang Quanbao sat opposite Wang Yi, holding a tea bowl, lowered his head and sucked lightly, and said, "The tax official Feng Youyi had a big deal before. None of them was alive. Feng Youyi was hung on a big tree and was squeezed openly. Next to it, it was written to do the way for heaven to eliminate violence and maintain good fortune! Brother Wang, do you know what happened?"

Wang Yi crossed his legs with a shocked expression on his face and cursed angrily: "Who, who is it! Who is it? The world is bright and bright, who did such a beast that is worse than that! He still knows whether there is a king's law? Is it really intolerable?"

Of course, Zhang Quanbao knew that Wang Yi was acting, and looked at him and said, "My brother really doesn't know?"

"I really don't know..."

"Then why did I hear that your student named Qian Haixin was destroyed because Feng Youyi forced to collect taxes?"

"There is such a thing?" Wang Yi was shocked, but immediately said, "The family is destroyed and the people are destroyed? So what if the family is destroyed and the people are destroyed? We, the Qing Dynasty, only the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. If the father wants the son to die, the son has to die! Shangguan asked you to pay taxes, even if your family is destroyed and the people are destroyed, you have to pay! Do you understand what loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are, do you have some enlightenment?"

This made Zhang Quanbao lose his words. If you agree, it seems a bit unethical. If you object, it is not the case!

"I'm just reminding you of this..."

"Are you careful? Don't worry, Brother Zhang, now the thieves are rampant. Look at me, I am not afraid of the world, but I am actually afraid of death! Now I can only tighten my belt and urgently recruit hundreds of insurance teams! Alas... Is this world still alive?"

Wang Yi didn't find it strange that Zhang Quanbao knew that he had sent someone to rob Feng Youyi, but this matter might not be reported by Zhang Jingxiao. Although he was Zhang Quanbao's own son, he also had his own principles in life. This is also what Wang Yi admired him more. As for who gave the news about the Zhang family, Wang Yi didn't need to think too much about it. Whether it was the literary class or the martial class, the Zhang family summoned him back for him. If you say that there was no spy in it, you wouldn't believe it if you beat Wang Yi to death!

But even so, Wang Yi would not attack these eyeliners. Because this would destroy the cooperative relationship with the Zhang family and cause misunderstandings between the two families. Keeping these eyeliners is a kind of trust! Everyone knows the truth. Once Wang Yi and his eyeliners take action, the two families will fight each other.

Zhang Quanbao also knew that he had no malice. Today, he mentioned Feng Youyi's incident and also reminded Wang Yi. Now both families are not full of wings, and if the Qing court really wants to pursue it, no one will feel good. But then again, Lao Zhang also knew that it was useless to say that he was just talking about these things. Because he knew Wang Yi's character now, it would be fine if you didn't provoke him. If you really touched his small scales, let alone you bullshit tax officials, even General Shengjing of Fengtian, even the old bitch in the Forbidden City, he would dare to bring people to slaughter.

Wang Yi turned his face and said to Zhang Jingxiao: "Jingxiao!"

"gentlemen!"

"You will send you a letter to Uncle Quanfu in a while, and you will ask him to send someone to Fuzhou and Shanghai to help me recruit a group of people back!"

"yes!"

Zhang Quanbao's mind turned away, but he still couldn't think of any reason, so he asked, "Brother, who are you asking Quanfu to help you recruit?"

"Oh, I heard recently that the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau has been no longer building ships a year ago! I was thinking about it. Since he stopped building ships, I wanted to open a small boatyard to build merchant ships. There were not enough shipbuilders, so I simply recruited the people there." Wang Yi sat by the stove and roasted the fire, and said inadvertently: "It will save you the cheaper Japanese devils."

"What?" Zhang Quanbao was shocked! Even Zhang Jingxiao's eyes moved in surprise. "How could this happen?"

Wang Yi shrugged and said indifferently: "I don't know, I think it's because the court thinks it's not worth it!"

"Nothing!" Zhang Quanbao was so angry that he slapped the table.

At that time, there were two more famous shipyards in China, one was the Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau and the other was the Jiangnan Shipbuilding Bureau. However, since its inception, they were faced with public opinion pressure and censors. Zuo Zongtang once said: "Extraordinary action is easy to move. One creator, one person is responsible for the work, and one bystander." "At first, he was worried that he would not succeed, then he would discuss his expenses, or even discuss his loss of body. All of them were necessary." In 1871, Grand Secretary Song Jin even asked for "the waste of money is too heavy, called a long-term plan, but it is actually wasteful" to "the two shipbuildings in Shanghai and Fujian will be temporarily suspended, and the amount of funds will be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, and the completed ships will be rented to the Shang Shang." In fact, not only censors have objections to shipbuilding, but also the internal views of the Westernization faction are very different. China, which lacks a heavy industrial foundation, the raw materials for each state-built ship must be relied on.

Import and manufacturing work are carried out by foreign craftsmen; the so-called self-design is mostly surveying and mapping foreign drawings. The number of ships is small, the construction period is naturally extended, and the cost of raw materials and engineering continues to rise, so that the price of national ships is much higher than that of ships purchased from abroad. The benefits of "buying a ship is worse than buying a ship" are obvious. Zheng Guanying later commented in "The Rising Words of the Prosperous Times" as follows: "China's shipbuilding, regardless of wood, iron, steel, copper and other materials, purchases all foreign ships. Even if the price is not surprising, there are loading fees and commission fees. The cost of the intruders and businessmen is very different from that of foreign countries." It is estimated that the labor and material costs of self-built ships in the Shipbuilding Bureau are 50%-60% higher than similar foreign products alone, which directly led to the investment of the Shipbuilding Bureau's five years increased from the original 3 million taels to more than 5 million taels.

If this is the case, maybe the shipbuilding business could still be sustained. However, by 1874, Japan sent troops to Taiwan and had already put the imminent Japanese threat in front of it. In order to protect the sea and deal with threats from the sea, China needed to build a navy that could protect itself in a short period of time. However, for the Qing Dynasty, which lacked heavy industry foundation, it was almost impossible to achieve such an overly ambitious goal - insufficient technology, equipment, and personnel, and the worst thing was that there was no time! Therefore, to achieve the above strategic goal, only by choosing to purchase from outside can we gather a modern navy with advanced technology and numerous numbers in the short term.

For Wang Yi, in later generations, although Japan showed a little fangs during this period, in terms of national strength and naval strength, they had not yet reached the point where they could threaten the Qing court. However, Li Hongzhang and Prince Gong did not have enough external understanding, coupled with the insecurity of defeat in the Opium War and the French in Vietnam, they were in a dilemma and finally chose to suspend the shipbuilding project. It can only be said that under the historical cognition conditions at that time, the decision that was most conducive to the current situation was made.

"Where is the sir going to build the shipyard?"

"It can only be built in Yingkou at the moment. As for the future...Lushun and Huludao are good choices."

Of course, Wang Yi knew that Lushun was better in a better location, but without a railway, it would be a dream to achieve this goal.

"Okay, sir, I get it!"

"Wait, you will be responsible for the shipyard's affairs in the future!" Wang Yi gave Zhang Quanbao a cup of tea and said while pouring it out.

"Yes, sir!"

"I'll tell you the specific arrangements!"

Zhang Jingxiao took out the paper and pen she carried with him, "Sir, please tell me!"

"First, because the shipyard is currently under construction, new ship workers, including those in Shanghai and Min, can take advantage of this stage to conduct preliminary training and improve their theoretical level. Currently, I have hired 30 experts from the UK and Germany. For the specific arrangements of this matter, you can ask Charlie Fama. As for the translation of the class and the foreign language training of ship workers... you go to the essay class to pick six students who have not joined the experimental group, and let them stay with you in the future."

Zhang Jingxiao nodded.

"The second article, I think you are already familiar with my modern enterprise system! I won't say more about it here. Just one thing to note is that security and confidentiality work must be done in place."

Wang Yi said a total of twenty-three things. If Zhang Jingxiao didn’t understand, he would ask directly. Wang Yi would explain it carefully.

Zhang Quanbao didn't say anything, but he knew in his heart that Wang Yi handed over the shipyard to his son. On the one hand, his son had outstanding abilities, and on the other hand, he was also a favor given to the Zhang family by Wang Yi. He and Wang Yi were both like a mirror in his heart, and it was all indifferent.

"Okay, you have all remembered these twenty-three things. Finally, I will say that respecting the labor of others and the workers. The Qing court regards those workers as wastes, and I regard them as treasures. Don't bring the bad things of bureaucrats into my shipyard."

"Yes, sir."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to our school. I'll have classes in the afternoon!" Wang Yi turned his face and said to Zhang Quanbao: "Brother, I'll leave first! I'll tell you that second brother, after finishing the meal, go to our school. Don't always eat free meals at me!"

Zhang Quanbao laughed.

The eastern part of Haicheng is a mountainous area, and Zheng Haitao is hiding in the bushes on a hillside with four team members.

"Company Commander, this is what the captain said about Qinglonggou."

One of the letters that Wang Yi found on Fatty White, was the order letter written by Sergeivic, a Tsarist Russian Navy officer stationed in Vladivostok, which stated the benefits they promised Fatty White. Although several months have passed, Wang Yi decided to send someone to take a look, and maybe he could get anything. Zheng Haitao, as the company commander of the reconnaissance company, naturally took on this task without hesitation.

"How are you looking for it?"

"The topographic map near Qinglonggou has been drawn."

"Where is the guard post?"

"The deployment and defense change time have been roughly recorded." A scout under Zheng Haitao whispered: "There are fifty Russians in this Qinglonggou. In addition, there are about two hundred bandits, and they should be traitors who defect to the Russians. But one thing is very troublesome..."

"What?"

"They set up Gatling machine guns that the captain once introduced to us in a vicinity... The company commander, with our current strength, I'm afraid that it's not enough to attack such places!"
