Within a few days, Wen Bufan arranged all kinds of things one by one, and Xiang Dong, Ouyang Fengbu and others were all sent to various places by Wen Bufan. Garrison tuntian, reclaim wasteland!

Orion and Wei Xia also garrisoned Tuntian in Jinyang, Yanjing, and Donglai City.

Many of the people in the ancient temple have already descended the mountain and returned to their former homes. Wen Bufan also transported some of the treasures in the suspended ancient temple down the mountain.

Seeing that the big guys were starting to be busy, Cheng Chong couldn't sit still. wondered if it was because he was not an ordinary old department, although he was also rewarded this time. But I'm afraid it won't be reused in the future! After thinking about it again and again, Cheng Chong decided to ask Wen Bufan in person, if it was really as he thought, then he would simply resign and not do it!

So Cheng Chong came directly to Wen Bufan's residence.

"General Cheng, what do you think of the sea?" As soon as Cheng Chong entered the door, before he could speak, Wen Bufan asked.

"The sea?" Cheng Chong, who was ready to talk, was a little dazed by Wen Bufan's question.

"Not bad! Ocean! Wen Bufan motioned for Cheng Chong to sit down and speak. Then he continued: "This time we were able to defeat the aliens on the beach several times, and it was entirely because the aliens didn't understand water, so we were pressed and beaten!" But what if we are facing an enemy who knows Mercury well? ”

"This?" Cheng Chong lowered his head and thought. I have long forgotten the purpose of this trip!

"General Cheng grew up by the sea since he was a child, right?" Wen Bufan changed his words and asked.

"Yes, I grew up by the sea." Cheng Chong said.

"General Cheng, you come with me!" After Wen Bufan finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the backyard.

Cheng Chong followed in and followed Wen Bufan to a water tank. The tank was full of water.

"General Cheng, look." Wen Bufan took a copper basin from the side and put it in the water tank. The copper basin floats on the tank.

Cheng Chong was puzzled, and looked at the copper basin for a while, and looked at Wen Bufan for a while.

"Has General Cheng ever wondered why this copper basin won't sink?" Wen Bufan said.

Cheng Chong shook his head.

Wen Bufan filled the copper basin with water again, and the copper basin filled with water slowly sank.

Wen Bufan looked at Cheng Chong and said, "General Cheng, what did you find?" ”

"When it is not filled with water, the copper basin can float on the surface of the water, but when it is filled with water, it sinks." Cheng Chong thought for a while, raised his head and looked at Wen Bufan, his eyes lit up and said: "If this copper basin is a boat, as long as it does not leak, it will be restored to the water!" ”

Wen Bufan looked at Cheng Chong happily and said, "That's it!" ”

"Your Majesty! You mean, let me build ironclad ships? Cheng Chong said.

"Yes! I just told you that. The aliens from the north have suffered a lot of damage this time and want to make a comeback. It's going to take some time! But we don't know what's on the other side of the sea! What will happen to us if one day the enemy really comes to the sea? Wen Bufan looked at Cheng Chong and said: "Among our generals, only you grew up by the sea and are familiar with water, and I also know that you have studied shipbuilding and have been in the manufacturing bureau, so I will choose you to do this!" But there are some details that I haven't thought about yet, so I haven't asked you for a while, and now you're here, just right. ”

Cheng Chong finally knew why he didn't send himself out to garrison Tuntian. It turned out that he had arranged such a difficult task for himself!

Wen Bufan looked at Cheng Chong and asked, "Do you think you can do it?" ”

"The craftsmanship of shipbuilding will not make much difference! The only thing that is difficult is how to solve the gap link and not let it leak! I'm willing to give it a try! Cheng Chong said.

"It's not a try, it's a success!" Wen Bufan said, "Of course, you don't have too much pressure, I won't put too much pressure on you in terms of time, it's okay to limit it to three years?" ”

"Okay! If you don't succeed in three years! I'll see you Cheng Chong! Cheng Chong said angrily.

"Good!" Wen Bufan praised it and said, "It's not that serious!" If you don't do well in three years, it's fine! But you have to do it with your heart! ”

After speaking, Wen Bufan waved his hand. Several people walked in with a large suitcase.

"Open!" Wen Bufan said.

As soon as the box was opened, a dazzling light emanated!

Cheng Chong took a look, a whole box of gold!

"Take these! If it's not enough, I'll give it to you! Wen Bufan said.

Cheng Chong is not a greedy person for money! The reason why these surviving border generals of the former Donglai Kingdom are deeply loved by the soldiers is that no matter what kind of difficult environment they are in, there will be a group of soldiers who will follow them to the death. The main reason is that they all have a common characteristic - they don't love money!

But when Cheng Chong saw this box full of gold, he was still flashed.

"Your Majesty, the war in my Huaxia Kingdom has just stopped, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, how can I accept this box of gold?" Cheng Chong said.

"It's not for you, it's for you to build ships! Let you build an ironclad ship, where can you buy steel if you don't have money? If you don't have money, where are you going to hire craftsmen? Moreover, you don't have to worry about money! If I didn't have some strength, how could I reduce taxes everywhere with such fanfare! Don't worry, our Huaxia country has money! Wen Bufan said very easily.

"However, if there is money, the king also arranges for Xiang Dong and Ouyang Feng to go to Tuntian? Even the Jingshi is surrounded by Tuntian? Cheng Chong asked.

"This has nothing to do with money!" Wen Bufan said with a smile: "Let Orion, Wei Xia and them go to Tuntian, the main reason is that there are too many wastelands in the north, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, if you don't let the army Tuntian, how long will these wastelands have to be reclaimed." Also, I didn't beat them and didn't let them go to Tuntian, but also let them help the people reclaim wasteland. There have been years of war in the north, and there are not many strong men left. I told Orion a long time ago that they should pay attention to the marital status of their children in the army, and if they meet the right ones, they will marry in the army. When you go south, you can stop by to see the Orion and the new houses they built, and this kind of house will be built in all places in Huaxia in the future! As soon as a person in the army gets married, he will be assigned a new house. If you don't find a daughter-in-law earlier, you can only sleep in the Chase shop! Of course, if you dare to rob the people's daughters, you will not be forgiven! ”

Cheng Chong is sulking at home these days, and he really doesn't know the situation outside. Hearing Wen Bufan say this, I really want to go out and have a look.

"You don't have to worry about anything else! It is a great achievement to build this ironclad ship with peace of mind! Wen Bufan said.

"Your Majesty, rest assured! Cheng Chong had thought about building an ironclad ship when he was young, and he didn't want to be able to get the king's will to build this ironclad ship today, Cheng Chong must do his best to let my ironclad ship sail in the waters of Huaxia Kingdom as soon as possible! Cheng Chong said solemnly.

"Good!"

Day 2

Wen Bufan ordered the establishment of a manufacturing bureau, which was led by Xiao Yuyanran. There are three divisions: the Weapons Division, the Engineering Equipment Division and the Shipbuilding Division.

The shipbuilding department is in charge of Cheng Chong, and the ironclad ship will be developed from now on!
