Luo Xin and Lu Rudai were fishing by the pond in the back garden, when they saw Wan Daquan walking in, and said a few words in Luo Xin's ear, Luo Xin got up from the recliner and said to Lu Rudai:

"Dai, I have some business to take care of."

Lu Rudai said with a smile: "These days have delayed a lot of things for my husband, husband, let's go, Dai'er is fishing here." ”

"Okay, we must catch a big one, and we'll eat the fish that Daile caught in the evening."

Luo Xin laughed and walked out, the smile on his face gradually fading. Wan Daquan told him that Luo Sheng was here just now, because he was afraid that Lu Rudai would recognize Luo Sheng, so Wan Daquan didn't let Luo Sheng in, and after Luo Sheng learned that Dai'er was coming, he went to a restaurant opposite the yamen to wait for Luo Xin.

Luo Xin didn't know Luo Sheng's intention, so he was a little anxious. Luo Sheng should be at sea now ready to sneak attack Wang Zhi's thirty-six islands, how could he appear here?

Dressed in civilian clothes, he walked into the restaurant, and went to the second floor under the leadership of Wan Daquan, Luo Xin pushed the door and walked in, closed the door with his backhand, and Wan Daquan stood outside the door.

in the room.

Luo Sheng was sitting on a chair, and when he saw Luo Xin coming in, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Brother Xin." ”

"Cousin!" Luo Xin beckoned Luo Sheng to sit down and said, "But what's the urgency?" ”

"Nope!" Luo Sheng shook his head with a smile and said: "I just sneaked up on an island in Wangzhi with people, and returned to Taiwan with goods and captured people. ”

When Luo Xin heard this, he put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "I thought something was wrong, and it scared me." ”

Luo Sheng said narrowly: "But delay the good thing between you and your brother-in-law?" ”

"Hahaha......" Luo Xin laughed heartily. When the laughter was over, he said, "Tell me about it." ”

Luo Sheng took Wang Cui with Luo Ye how to find Xu Hai and Xin Wulang, how to gain a firm foothold, how they connected with each other, and how they attacked Wang Zhi's island, and told Luo Xin in detail, and Luo Xin's eyebrows danced, and he said yes again and again. After that, Luo Xin learned about the development of Taiwan Island in all aspects, and finally said to Luo Sheng:

"Cousin, other things can be slowed down, but the research of shipbuilding and musket artillery must be put in the most important position, and the research of the steam engine must also be increased, they represent the future of Taiwan."

Luo Sheng frowned slightly and said: "Brother Xin, I think that now at sea, our strength is strong enough, the sea ships we have are no less than Wang Zhi, as for the Daming Sailors, they are not as good as us, do we still have to invest so much in shipbuilding?" ”

Luo Xin nodded seriously and said: "Yes, the ship we have now has many weaknesses, first of all, it is not fast enough, and secondly, it is not strong enough. ”

Luo Sheng's face showed disbelief and said: "Brother Xin, our current sea ships are not inferior to Wang Zhi and Daming Sailors in terms of speed or solidity. ”

Luo Xin pondered for a moment and said: "I'm not talking about the ships that run on the sea now, the ships that we think are very good now, I'm afraid it won't be long before they will be eliminated." ”

Seeing that Luo Sheng was about to speak again, Luo Xin waved his hand and said, "Cousin, you don't know, there is a mainland on the other side of the sea, where it has entered the era of maritime hegemony, and maritime trade and colonization have begun to flourish. ”

"Colonization?" Luo Sheng looked at Luo Xin puzzled.

"It is to conquer other countries' countries by force, and then garrison them there, and treat that country as a slave country."

"This ......"

Luo Sheng was taken aback, but didn't he think that he was doing this now? Knock down Wang Zhi's island, and then rob it all, and even snatch people back to be slaves. At this time, I heard Luo Xin say again:

"Now in this boundless sea, countless ships carrying slaves, gold and spices are being shipped to the European continent, and pirates are flourishing in various countries, cruising and robbing merchant ships, and the other side of the sea is undergoing a great change. And in the midst of this great change, what are we doing in Daming?

In the sealed sea! ”

Luo Xin's face showed a look of sarcasm and said: "From the day the Ming Dynasty closed the sea, it was doomed that the Eastern civilization represented by the Ming Dynasty began to decline, while the Western civilization gradually became stronger.

Let's just say that this shipbuilding technology and navigation technology, when Zheng He went to the West, it was so advanced, but now I want to tell you that the shipbuilding technology and navigation technology of the Ming Dynasty have not advanced but retreated, because of the ban on the sea, we have fallen behind. In this day and age, the Persians had the most advanced shipbuilding and seafaring skills in the world, and in this day and age, the Europeans had already begun the Renaissance. ”

"Renaissance?" Luo Sheng was confused again.

Luo Xin waved his hand, did not explain to Luo Sheng, and continued: "Europeans are now adventuring the sea, traveling around the world along the sea, their philosophy and natural sciences are also in the stage of vigorous development, and our Ming Dynasty is now backward in all aspects.

Cousin, you have to trust me. If we continue like this, one day we will be attacked by the strong ships and artillery of the Western powers. And Taiwan is the only place for the Western powers to attack the Ming Dynasty, that is to say, before they attack the Ming Dynasty, they are bound to seize our Taiwan first. Therefore, if you want to keep Taiwan, you must develop shipbuilding and navigation technology, as well as muskets and artillery. When we have these, we will not be limited to a small island like Taiwan, we can go on expeditions and colonize. ”

Luo Sheng was stunned when he heard it, seeing that Luo Sheng couldn't fully understand, Luo Xin not only secretly cried and laughed in his heart, but in this era of the Ming Dynasty, how many people could understand his words?

He sighed in his heart and said, "Cousin, you don't have to worry about anything else, you know that you must make great efforts to develop shipbuilding, navigation, muskets, artillery, and the steam engine." ”

"So what's the use of the steam engine?" Luo Sheng asked curiously.

Luo Xin's eyes showed a look of yearning: "With the steam engine, we can build iron ships." ”

"Iron ships?" Luo Sheng looked at Luo Xin in shock.

Luo Xin nodded and said, "That's what I just said, now our ship is not fast enough, and it is not strong enough. Iron ships with steam engines could travel more than ten times as fast as today's ships. Today's ships, even if the cannon were invented, could not be installed, because when the cannon was fired, the strong recoil would damage the wooden ship. That's why I say it's not strong enough. Once we have built an iron ship and installed our artillery, we can cross the seas. ”

"Really?" Luo Sheng looked at Luo Xin in disbelief.

"Of course it's true!" Luo Xin's agitated tone said: "Cousin, imagine riding on a large ship made entirely of steel, with rows of guns installed on the ship, and when you encounter an enemy ship, a row of artillery fire is released, and only fragments of the ship are left on the opposite side. ”

Luo Sheng was stunned for a while, and just when Luo Xin thought that he was intoxicated with the blueprint he had drawn, he saw Luo Sheng shake his head and said:

"I can't imagine it."

"Oh......" Luo Xin's face froze, and he said boringly: "You just need to remember my words, and if you catch the people of the vassal country in the future, you must not kill them, you must ask them what their specialties are, if they have technology and knowledge, we must subdue them, give them status and money, and let them work for us." ”

"I understand!" Luo Sheng nodded and said, "It's really not good, when the time comes, I'll have someone write down their abilities and bring them to you, so that you can see if they are worth reusing." ”

"Good! I'll arrange for you to stay at the inn. ”

"No!" Luo Sheng shook his head and said, "I'll eat this meal and leave." ”

"It's okay, be careful on the road."

Luo Xin sent Luo Sheng away, and returned to the prefect's yamen with Wan Daquan, and saw Lu Daqing standing in front of the gate with a ghostly head, his image made Luo Xin stunned, since Luo Xin has been promoted all the way, especially after being recently promoted to the prefect of Hangzhou, this Lu Daqing is looking like a head and raising his head there, when did he become such a roe deer? I couldn't help but shout:

"Daqing, what are you doing?"

Hearing Luo Xin's voice, Lu Daqing came to Luo Xin at a trot, and said in a low voice:

"Master Hou, the second grandmother is here."

"What second grandmother? It's a mess. Luo Xin said angrily.

Lu Daqing said in a weak voice: "The one on the grassland." ”

"What?" Luo Xin's heart was shocked: "Where is she now?" ”

"And ...... The housemother and mother ...... together" Before Luo Xin could ask, Lu Daqing said: "The little one can't be stopped." ”

"Does anyone else know?" Luo Xin asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, they just thought it was a relative of Lord Hou."

"I'll take a look!"

Luo Xin strode towards the house, and couldn't help but have a headache, if you don't come, you won't come, this time, why are you here? Lu Rudai knew about the existence of Zhong Jin Hatun, and Luo Xin also told her that Lu Rudai had also mentioned that Luo Xin would take Zhong Jin to the mansion, so why suffer in the grassland. Luo Xin naturally wouldn't tell Lu Rudai about his arrangement, but he was afraid that Zhong Jin would tell Lu Rudai about it.

You must know that this matter is hidden from Lu Tingfang, although Lu Tingjiang has been fully involved, but Lu Tingjiang did not tell Lu Tingfang, because both of them know that Lu Tingfang is a clear stream, and the idea of loyalty is deep-rooted, maybe he will go to report to Emperor Jiajing when he knows about this matter.

Luo Xin hurried to the backyard and asked if Dai'er and Jong Kim were in the bedroom, so he hurried away, pushed open the door, and saw two women looking at him. Luo Xin closed the door with his backhand, looked at Zhong Jin Hatun and said:

"You're here."

"Hmm!" Zhong Jin stood up obediently, just looking at Luo Xin's eyes full of warm thoughts: "I want to come to see my husband, and I also want to see Sister Dai'er." ”

Zhong Jin Hatun is older than Lu Rudai, but now he calls Lu Rudai his sister, which shows that he has put himself in a relatively low position. Lu Rudai also stood up, stretched out a hand to hold Zhong Jin's hand and said:

"I asked my husband to take my sister to the house a long time ago, but my husband refused." Then he looked at Luo Xin and said, "This time, my sister is running for you, don't let my sister go again." ”

"This ...... Hehe......"

At this time, Luo Xin really didn't know what to say except for laughing dryly. On this day, Luo Xin didn't know the taste of meat, the two women talked happily, Luo Xin sat on the side, like a long thorn all over his body, but he didn't dare to leave, because he didn't have the opportunity to tell Zhong Jin not to talk nonsense, only to accompany him, once Zhong Jin Hatun said that he leaked his mouth, he would stop it.

Fortunately, Zhong Jin Hatun never divulged any secrets, but just told Dai'er about the customs of the grassland, so it was not until dusk that Dai'er personally arranged for Zhong Jin Hatun to stay, and then pushed Luo Xin into the door and said:

"Husband, you can accompany your sister today." When the words fell, he closed the door of the room.

Luo Xin was not hypocritical, and listened to Lu Rudai's footsteps and gradually left, and then walked towards Zhongjin Hatun.

"Husband!"

Zhong Jin Hatun suddenly threw himself into Luo Xin's arms, Luo Xin hugged Zhong Jin Hatun, remembering her suffering in the grassland, so he raised his hand and gently stroked her hair and said:

"Zhong Jin, I'm sorry for you."

"Zhongjin is not bitter!" Zhong Jin Hatun put his head in Luo Xin's arms and said: "Zhong Jin has you in his heart, and he will not be bitter in his heart." ”

Luo Xin stretched out his hands, hugged his waist, picked up Zhong Jin, and strode towards the bed. In a few moments, the room was filled with the creaking and whispering of bed boards, and the sound of heavy breathing.

Night.

Quiet.

Indoors.

Quiet.

Zhong Jin lay in Luo Xin's arms, gently drawing Luo Xin's chest with his fingers, Luo Xin hugged Zhong Jin's soft body, and asked softly:

"You didn't tell Dai'er about the grassland, did you?"

"Nope!" Zhong Jin Hatun said softly.

"I didn't tell Daile about the eldest brother, did you?"

"Nope!"

"That's good, you don't have to tell Daile about these things first." Luo Xin said in a condensed voice.

Zhong Jin Hatun was happy in his heart, Luo Xin arranged things for her to do, and concealed Lu Rudai, which couldn't help but make her feel happy in her heart, and she felt that she wanted to be closer to Luo Xin. Luo Xin pondered for a while, still a little uneasy in his heart, so he explained to Zhong Jin Hatun:

"Dai'er's father is a clear stream, and he is very swollen with Emperor Jiajing, if Dai'er knows about this matter, it will inevitably tell her father, with her father's temperament, this matter is not far from being exposed. Our affairs are not yet in sight, at least not now. ”

"Then ......" Zhong Jin Hatun hesitated and said: "Husband, now that your career is getting bigger and bigger, you can't hide it for long." ”

Luo Xin sighed lightly and said, "It's a moment to hide it." ”

The two men stopped talking, and the room fell silent.

Next, Luo Xin began to travel the mountains and rivers again, before he accompanied Lu Rudai alone, but now he is accompanied by Lu Rudai and Zhong Jin Hatun.

He Nian and Wang Ziren also knew that Luo Xin was rarely idle, so they tried to take care of everything and try not to disturb Luo Xin. But just because the two of them don't bother doesn't mean that no one bothers him.
