As the Leizhou Mansion began to resume normal operation, the New Year's flavor in Leizhou City gradually took off and returned to the daily busyness.

After enjoying the benefits of the Spring Festival holiday, the female workers of the joint workshop were happy to return to work on time. The enviable high welfare treatment of the joint workshop undoubtedly brought them status and glory during this Spring Festival, resulting in their enthusiasm being quite high.

For example, Wang Juan is just an ordinary country woman, who originally planned to use the slack to work in the city to subsidize the family and feed several children in the family.

Now, in the envious eyes of the villagers, she stepped into Leizhou City again as a regular employee of the Lianhe Workshop, followed by several rural girls who had obviously never seen the world.

The various projects that were stopped due to the Spring Festival are also in full swing at this time, and workers can be seen everywhere, and people are moving wood and stone to build houses in almost every place.

In addition, some farmers who learned about the changes in Leizhou City from the Spring Festival flocked to Leizhou City in search of a livelihood, either through acquaintances into the joint workshop, or in various new workshops to make a living, or to become construction workers in factories.

After the addition of these fresh blood, the entire Leizhou City not only gradually got rid of the shackles of the Spring Festival, but also entered a more crazy construction period, staging the construction speed of Leizhou.

In fact, the speed of Leizhou is indeed amazing.

In addition to increasing the production of Leizhou cloth, some porcelain workshops have also sprung up.

Previously, the largest ancient kiln in western Guangdong was in Guanzhu Town, Dianbai County, which is also a rare large kiln in the whole Guangdong, mainly for the export of porcelain for trade. It's just that today, there are three large kilns of the same scale under construction.

In particular, Mrs. Jiang invited several teachers from Jiangxi with a high salary, and the number of porcelain fired was large and exquisite, and she embarked on the high-quality route, which can be regarded as adding a bit of color to the opening of the sea.

All the phenomena show that Leizhou City is undergoing great changes and is evolving into a prosperous city.

Leizhou Mansion, in the signing room.

Several men dressed in silk satin were sitting in the study inside, first noisy for a while, but finally fixed on the young official in his regular clothes.

This young official, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old, was sipping ginseng tea with a tea cup, but his young face showed a mature and steady look, and his brows were frowning slightly.

The work after the year was not easy, Lin Haoran was in charge of the affairs of the government at the same time, but also fully devoted himself to opening the sea. It's just that things can't be perfect after all, and there are still accidents.

A year ago, in order to open up the route from Leizhou to Nanyang as soon as possible, Lin Haoran sent a fleet to Nanyang to carry out maritime trade, and appointed Jiang Ronghua as the commander of the fleet.

The latest news came that the fleet under the command of Jiang Ronghua was ambushed by the Red Flag Gang at sea and had been completely annihilated at sea.

This is undoubtedly bad news! Although this was a preliminary investigation of the Nanyang market, this advance army was eaten by the Red Flag Gang, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the development of Nanyang.

No matter how vast the cloth market in Nanyang is, no matter how cheap and good the cloth of Leizhou is, but without a safe navigation route, everything can only be regarded as talk on paper.

After Shen Liuye just found out the news, he first found other people, and then jointly came to Lin Haoran to discuss countermeasures and how to deal with this unfavorable situation.

Due to the geographical location, the best market for Leizhou cloth is undoubtedly Nanyang, which has a large amount of gold and silver, and is willing to pay a better purchase price for the cloth.

Once the Nanyang market cannot be opened, Leizhou Bu can only look at Jinshan and sigh, which is not the situation that everyone wants to see. Businessmen pursue profits, and dare to go to the stage in the face of double the profits, let alone a mountain of gold?

"This Red Flag Gang is really too deceitful, we just took their lair!" Shen Liuye gritted his teeth and pounded the table.

It's just that in the face of Shen Liuye's righteous indignation, everyone was speechless.

Compared with the Blue Flag Gang that previously dominated Leizhou Bay, the Red Flag Gang that dominated Tokyo Bay is undoubtedly the real overlord, and their troops reach thousands of people, and they can sweep across the ocean.

Even if they were able to use all the Leizhou Guards and Shendian Guards, they would not necessarily be the opponents of the Red Flag Gang, let alone the heroic move of ending the Red Flag Gang's lair.

Although it is very unwilling, in the face of this targeted retaliation of the Red Flag Gang, they can only swallow their anger, at least for now.

Shopkeeper Weng pondered for a moment, and solemnly proposed: "Lord Fuzun, this Nanyang Line has a lot to do with it, and I suggest that another fleet be organized to secretly go to Nanyang to carry out trade!" ”

"Shopkeeper Weng, if you still go, wouldn't it be a sheep into the mouth of a tiger?" Zhao Fugui said worriedly.

There was a rare look of anger on the face of the shopkeeper Weng, and he looked at Zhao Fugui very firmly and said: "This Nanyang line is imperative!" If we retreat from this small setback, then Leizhoubu's idea of marching into the South Seas can be overturned now. ”

Perhaps in charge of the production of Leizhou cloth, the shopkeeper Weng cares more about Kaihai than anyone else, and is also the most loyal supporter of Kaihai, eager to sell Leizhou cloth to the world.

"I agree with the point of view of the shopkeeper Weng, now that we are fighting the world, how can everything be smooth, we have to send another fleet to the South Seas!" Gu Mancang immediately said.

"Not bad! This time, we will send some people from each family to form a new fleet and go to the South Seas, and we must open up the routes of the South Seas! Zhang Qinghe also made it clear.

After this statement, there is no doubt that the opinions are basically unanimous.

After the fleet under the command of Jiang Ronghua was annihilated by the Red Flag Gang, everyone also hoped to secretly send a second fleet to complete the goal of opening up the South Sea route.

Facing everyone's eyes, Lin Haoran did not express his position easily, but slowly picked up the teacup. In everyone's puzzled eyes, he took a sip of strong tea, frowned slightly, and looked a little distressed.

Gu Qingfeng was still dressed as a scholar, standing behind his father obediently, his eyes moved away from Lin Haoran's face, and he said politely to everyone: "Uncles, can you listen to your little nephew?" ”

"Don't be big or small, you don't have the right to talk here!" When Gu Mancang heard his son's words, he immediately reprimanded him dissatisfiedly.

Zhao Fugui protected Gu Qingfeng and said, "Brother Mancang, what are you talking about!" Aomine's Yipin sauce is running well, and he is our hero, so why can't he make suggestions? As he spoke, he said softly to Gu Qingfeng: "Virtuous nephew, please speak!" ”

Gu Qingfeng met the gaze that gathered on him, cleared his throat and said, "If Jiang Ronghua's fleet is really annihilated, I will also agree to send a second fleet!" But...... Now based on just one rumor, we are in chaos, I don't think it's advisable! ”

"You dare to say that Shen Liuye's news is unreliable? Believe it or not, I'm going to pump you now! Gu Mancang was different from the average fat man, his body was tall and straight, and his clenched fists were like stone hammers.

Gu Qingfeng swallowed and foamed, and explained in fear: "I didn't say that Shen Liuye's news is unreliable!" I'm just talking about the facts, after all, the news is not completely true yet! ”

"Brother Mancang, slow down!" Shen Liuye stopped the barn who was about to commit violence, and then said sincerely to everyone: "Although this news is from the Red Flag Gang, it may not be credible, and it really needs further investigation." It's just that the stakes are so high that I'm in a hurry to consult with you! ”

"If this news is true! Then there will be no living mouth on our side, how can this be verified? Zhang Qinghe frowned and said his scruples.

But at this time, Lin Haoran opened his mouth and said: "It is indeed very difficult to verify the matter, so please ask Shen Liuye to spend more time!" ”

Shen Liuye and the others heard Lin Haoran, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, first glanced at Lin Haoran in surprise, and then immediately understood the meaning of this main backbone.

Obviously, Lin Haoran's previous distress was not how to solve the problem, but whether he should choose to believe. Among so many people, only Gu Qingfeng saw through Lin Haoran's mind and completed the mission of "throwing bricks and attracting jade".

It is said that the news brought by Shen Liuye has been questioned, and he should feel unhappy. It's just that Lin Haoran handed over the task of verification to him again, not only did he not feel unhappy, but he also felt that Lin Haoran did the right thing.

This alone shows that Lin Haoran is smart, and he is becoming more and more like a mature politician.

"Lord Fuzun, please rest assured, I will definitely check carefully!" Shen Liuye solemnly stated his position and immediately assured.

Lin Haoran nodded slightly, and said to everyone: "If this news is true, we will send a second fleet there." It's just that the news is not clear yet, and before Shen Liuye proves the facts, we still focus on the production of Leizhou cloth, so we can't ...... Self-defeating! ”

"Good!" Everyone nodded their heads.

Now, they are becoming more and more convinced of Lin Haoran's ability. In dealing with major events, they certainly have the right to express their opinions, but once Lin Haoran makes a decision, then they can only implement it.

It's just that there are some exceptions this time, and they are actually biased in their hearts for Jiang Ronghua's accident.

Since Jiang Ronghua set sail, there has been no news, which has long made them suspicious. Now that Tan heard that Jiang Ronghua was completely annihilated by the Red Flag Gang, he seemed to have solved all the mysteries.

The reason why Lin Haoran chose to conduct the verification was firstly for the sake of prudence, and secondly, his feelings were biased towards Jiang Ronghua, so he did not believe that the fleet commanded by Jiang Ronghua was completely annihilated.

Sending Shen Liuye and the others away, Lin Haoran was a little absent-minded, and he was always unable to calm down to deal with official business.

After barely finishing a file, I looked at the courtyard outside and it was just right, and it was almost time to prepare dinner. He left the signing room and walked in the direction of the back house.

There was no news of Jiang Ronghua leading the fleet to leave Leizhou Bay, and he always felt that it was not that something had happened, let alone that Jiang Ronghua had betrayed him, but that the fleet was still on the way.

This seems to be a simple way to open up the South China Seas, but it is really difficult to do. Not to mention the complexity of the politics of the Nanyang countries, language alone is a major difficulty, not to mention that there are many hidden crises.

Although Leizhou already has enough goods that are coveted by the countries of the South Seas, things cannot be done overnight, and it will take a lot of trouble, especially to build trust.

Let's say that Jiang Ronghua, although he has the common problem of a son-in-law, has a higher insight than his peers, and he is also a very resilient person. Especially after the tempering of Donghai Island, the whole person seems more mature and stable.

When he was initially looking for candidates, he was the first to choose Jiang Ronghua.

He believed that a person who dared to give up his fame and enter the pirate's den alone in order to find his father would definitely not let him down and would definitely do things well, especially if Jiang Ronghua took the initiative to ask for help.

Even now, the news that "Jiang Ronghua's fleet has been completely annihilated" has come, and it has spread with nose and eyes. But he always believed that Jiang Ronghua would not be knocked down so easily.

Although there are many details that match the authenticity of this news, and it can be concluded that Jiang Ronghua's fleet may have clashed with the Red Flag Gang, he still has reservations, believing that Jiang Ronghua's work to open up the South Sea route is still being carried out in an orderly manner.

However, from this news, he suddenly became aware of a threat. The Red Flag Gang, which is entrenched in Tokyo Bay, seems to follow Leizhou Bay to the east and west, but it is actually very close, which cannot be avoided.

Especially on the route to the South Seas, the Red Flag Gang seems to want to play the role of robbers, which undoubtedly becomes his new roadblock.

Ay!

Lin Haoran walked into the courtyard alone, and when he saw that the surroundings were empty, he couldn't help but sigh softly.

This Lantern Festival has just passed, and the wild girl of the tiger girl can't stay still, even if this Leizhou City is becoming more and more prosperous now, but her heart seems to only belong to the distance.

Originally, he had great hopes for Hu Niu, and wanted that girl to run the United Silver Account and become the largest Silver Number in the entire Ming Dynasty. It's just that it backfired, and this girl didn't seem to have much interest in making money, but was keen on the affairs of that little yamen.

A few days ago, a young girl came to Xiaoyamen to ask for help, saying that her sister had disappeared in a village on the border of Haikang County and Xuwen County. After Hu Niu learned about this, she immediately led the small group to the West Village to investigate, intending to help the girl find her sister back.

It's just that things don't seem to be going well, and I haven't seen the wild girl of the tiger girl return so far.

Hey?

Lin Haoran gave up the idea of cooking and was about to move forward to the study, but his right eye suddenly jumped. A bad premonition immediately came to my heart, and it was faintly related to the wild girl.

Chirping......

Lin Haoran saw Xiao Jin rushing in, and immediately understood that it was this girl who came back, and couldn't help but be happy. He raised his face and was thinking about counting down this little girl, but there was no movement at the door.
