Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is the only key project in the Special Economic Zone that has not been publicized to the outside world.

Due to the need for secrecy, the Jiangnan Manufacturing General Bureau was not built in Sitang Town, where the town guard yamen was located, which was under construction, but in the southeast of the naval military port, which was more than 10 miles away from Sitang Town.

The place is very desolate, full of reeds, and the land is also saline, with only a brick and stone road more than two miles long connected to the military port.

Wei Gonggong and his entourage did not alarm the admirals, and came directly to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau.

This is also the consistent style of the father-in-law, special matters should be done, urgent matters should be done quickly, and there will be no delay if there is no need. In case of emergency, even if you are fighting in bed, you must immediately collect your troops and leave, and never come more.

This is, know the severity, know the urgency.

Those who have this style of acting are all big shots.

This style naturally also affected the generals under his command, so that the efficiency of all aspects has been improved to a certain extent, which is undoubtedly a good thing.

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

Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is the highlight of the father-in-law's first five-year plan, and it is also the foundation of the father-in-law's ambition, outsiders do not know the nature of the manufacturing bureau, but the father-in-law knows that once the manufacturing bureau is on the right track, the revolutionary era will come.

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

Because, a few months have passed, and the construction project of the Jiangnan Manufacturing General Bureau looks poor.

In his father-in-law's sight, except for the whitewashed white lime wall, there were only two two-story brick buildings protruding from the wall, and he didn't see any other buildings.

Nani?

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

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

No one in the left and right entourage dared to squeak, and the only one who could squeak was Zheng Duo, and he explained why this was so.

Zheng Duo's explanation is that the construction of the special zone is too heavy, and a lot of manpower and material resources have been transferred to build roads and houses, whether it is the town guard yamen, the admiral maritime yamen, or the maritime exchanges, the guild halls of various chambers of commerce, etc., all of which do not require a large amount of manpower and building materials.

However, the manpower of the special zone is really limited, so it can only focus on the construction of the project on the "façade" first, so that the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which is far away from the core of the special zone, will naturally not get much investment.

The most important thing is that the father-in-law said that he wanted to build the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but he did not arrange it specifically, such as the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, which has not been presided over until now.

A "yamen" who doesn't even have a person in charge is naturally what it looks like now.

"It's our negligence, and I don't blame you."

The father-in-law was humble-minded, and after realizing that it was his own fault, he did not anger Zheng Duo and them. This kind of thing is also human nature, there are no officials, who will ask for funds to repair the yamen?

"Let's go inside."

The father-in-law waved his hand and stepped in, thinking that the back of the wall was also in tatters, but he didn't expect it to be a bright eye.

It's not that there is a hole behind the wall, there are all kinds of buildings, and all kinds of technical personnel are walking around, and the big guys are talking freely around a giant cannon, but behind the wall is a large square with a very flat square.

The square is divided into a number of areas, each of which is distinguished by various flags, and when you look closer, you can see that the ground is covered with granules.

About 100 women, led by a few soldiers, spread out the gunpowder one by one, and from time to time the dried granular gunpowder was put away, and new moist gunpowder was brought in to spread out and dry.

Behind the small brick building in the distance, three rows of bungalows were built, and judging from the clothes drying at the door, it should be a "staff" dormitory.

The general flag on duty saw that Gonggong Wei had arrived, and he hurriedly came to salute.

The father-in-law nodded, squatted on the ground, grabbed a handful of gunpowder and rubbed it carefully, and found that the particles were very uniform and met his requirements, so he couldn't help but be very happy, and raised his head at the general flag: "What about your hundred households?" ”

"Lord Baihu is reasoning with foreign monks, and his subordinates are going to call him." After the general flag finished speaking, he raised his feet and ran to the small brick building.

After returning from Zhoushan, his father-in-law transferred Li Yanzhao from the ship and sent him to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, where he was given special handling of granular gunpowder and customized gunpowder.

These two things can quickly improve the firing time and power of the firearm, and before there is no new technological innovation and improvement, it is undoubtedly a sharp weapon for the father-in-law to conquer the outside world.

Li Yanzhao, as the proposer of the gunpowder, was the one who led the matter.

After a while, Li Yanzhao hurriedly arrived with people, and he was accompanied by two acquaintances of his father-in-law, Guo Jujing and Stallone, missionaries rescued from the Yangzhou Canal.

"The subordinates don't know that the father-in-law is coming, and they miss the distance, and I hope that the father-in-law will forgive the sins!"

Li Yanzhao knelt on his knees, and because his movements were too urgent, the pamphlet in his arms fell.

When my father-in-law saw the booklet, he couldn't help frowning and was even more happy, the original booklet was his old man's "Wei Gongliangchen Anthology", looking at the cover, it was the latest edition that had just been compiled and expanded by Ruan Dacheng a few days ago.

"What is Yan Zhao's crime? Hurry up. As soon as his father-in-law's body moved, he stepped forward to help Li Yanzhao personally.

Seeing this, Li Yanzhao was full of excitement in fear, and when he got up, he did not forget to pick up the official document collection and silently put it into his arms.

"Young people, you have to study more, the words we speak are sometimes very rough, but the words are not rough." The father-in-law looked at the young hundred households in front of him who were pulled out by him, and he was as pleased as he was looking at the younger generation.

It's a good thing for young people to like to learn, and it's even better to like to learn his father-in-law Wei's speech!

"Grandpa Wei!"

Guo Jujing looked at the young chamberlain favored by the Ming Emperor in front of him with a smile, he had completely figured out the identity of the other party, and was even more determined that building a church here was the right choice.

The father-in-law smiled and nodded, but he was a little ashamed in his heart, because until now, he had not allocated funds for Guo Jujing to build a church.

Who let this foreign monk so far, and he has not given him any actual benefits to Grandpa Wei.

"Your Excellency Pang Maichen, when did you return?"

Stallone's title is different from Guo Jujing's, the former sounds more like the official title of the Catholic Church in China, and the latter is a personal title. Compared with "Father-in-law Wei", His Excellency Pang Maichen is obviously more cordial.

My father-in-law also likes Stallone because the other party's name is very domineering.

"We've been back for a while, but the emperor is here, and I'm busy with official business, so I haven't been able to see you, so we're ashamed...... Yan Zhao, why are these two here? "My father-in-law was a little strange about what the two foreign monks were doing in his military stronghold.

Li Yanzhao hurriedly said: "Mr. Guo and Mr. Shi made a special trip to help their subordinates. ”

"Help?"

The father-in-law was stunned: The foreign monk has opened his mind?
