Lord of the Night! What a tempting name, Wang Qinian can't be calm. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Since he was born, he has passively become a supernumerary brocade guard, and since he was sensible, he has been engaged in secretly collecting intelligence, and he has been doing it for half his life, and he has been used to such an atmosphere. Being able to go back to the bank, and get the full support of money, in terms of planting secret agents and collecting intelligence, it is exciting to break hands with the old club Jinyiwei, let alone beat Jinyiwei.

Wang Qinian "pounced" and knelt down, and said respectfully: "If the general is willing to believe in the next, he will be in the bottom and repay the general's trust and support!" ”

was able to convince Wang Qinian, Xia Nan was also very happy, everyone has their own unique value, the key depends on whether he can be put in the right position. As far as the latent matter is concerned, whether it is patience or perseverance, no one can beat Wang Qinian at present.

Xia Nan asked Wang Qinian to get up, pointed at Liang Dong and said, "This is one of the pirate leader Liu Xiang's subordinates, who was captured by us in the naval battle. Your first test is to use him to break into Liu Xiang's interior, make a secret line for the Qiongzhou battalion, and provide intelligence so that he can be annihilated in one fell swoop. ”

Wang Qinian looked at Liang Dong and nodded: "General, don't worry." ”

Lin Weiye couldn't help but ask on the side: "How can you guarantee that this person will listen to us after he is put back?" ”

Wang Qinian replied: "This is easy to do, if you are disobedient, tell Liu Xiang directly, this person is put back by us." ”

Liang Dong frowned: "Don't, if you say this, the big boss will definitely be suspicious, and maybe he will cut me down with a knife." "It's probably okay to run back, but if it's the enemy who puts it back, anyone will think it's a spy.

Xia Nan also smiled and said comfortingly: "You don't have to worry, what future does Liu Xiang have, he is just a minion now, licking blood from the knife all day long, and it is estimated that he has eaten the last meal but not the next." It's better to mix with me, if you join the navy, you will have a minimum monthly salary of two taels per month, and if you do a good job, you will be promoted to an officer, and you will be rewarded for winning the war and getting the spoils of war. ”

Liang Dong licked his lips when he heard this, it sounded good. Although Liu Xiang is one of the few big pirates, but his subordinates are unevenly rich and poor, some henchmen and shopkeepers share the spoils and take the lion's share, and there are not a few left in the hands of these minions. His actions were faster than his thinking, and he knelt down and kowtowed with his hands and feet: "I am willing to help the general exterminate Liu Xiang." ”

Xia Nan said with satisfaction: "This is very good. Wang Qinian, your first task is to infiltrate Liu Xiang's camp with him and provide information for me to exterminate Liu Xiang. On the fifteenth day of every two months, I send clippers to Taiwan for a circle, and if there is any valuable information, I will find a way to go to sea. The clipper ship is white, the hull is long, narrow, and fast, making it easy to recognize. ”

"Yes."

Liang Dong reminded: "General, Liu Xiang generally goes to sea from the west and goes to Fujian, in order to avoid exposure, the location of the joint is best chosen on the east side of Dongfan Island, there is a small natural port thirty miles away from the port of Geranza, and there is no one else here except the local aborigines." ”

Xia Nan nodded and said, "This is the best, you must hide it from Liu Xiang and the Dutch." ”

All the things were arranged, and everyone dispersed, but Lin Weiye remained. Seeing this, Xia Nan asked, "What else is going on with Lao Lin?" ”

Lin Weiye mysteriously took out a small porcelain bottle: "Look! ”

Xia Nan was surprised and delighted: "Could it be that the perfume is made?" "I took the bottle, pulled out the stopper, put it on the tip of my nose and inhaled gently, and a rich but very refreshing fragrance came to my nose.

"What kind of flower is this refined? It smells a bit like roses, but the taste is lighter than roses. ”

"The nose is very smart, which is refined by the moon flower. Yueji and roses are both roses, is a sister flower, the fragrance of roses is stronger, is the most commonly used raw material for perfume, but unfortunately Guangdong roses are not common, Qiongzhou is not, Lao Song said that the roses in Guangdong are not big enough, the number is also scarce, I estimate it is still related to the climate. ”

Xia Nan recalled: "It seems that in the time and space when we came, there were more roses planted in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and the north, and I really haven't heard of large-scale planting along the southern coast." Forget it, Rose will talk about it later. What kind of flower perfume has been made now, is there anything other than the moon season? ”

"The moon season is fragrant, the fragrance of the triangle plum is lighter, the fragrance of frangipani is very strong, but it is not the same as the rose, at present, the three are trial-produced, today only brought a bottle over, there is a chance for you to observe and guide. However, I think it is more suitable for women to use the moon season fragrance as a staple product, and the other two can be used as alternatives. ”

"Okay, this is up to you and Song Xiaobao." Xia Nan never took power in specific affairs, "But this little porcelain bottle is a little awkward, I don't know, I think you took out a bottle of Heding Red!" ”

Lin Weiye awkwardly picked up the porcelain vase and looked at it: "It seems to be a little awkward." ”

"You say it's too difficult to make large pieces of flat glass, so can glassware be made? Replace the perfume container with glass, and it looks much taller. ”

"The principle of firing glass is not difficult, but blowing utensils requires skilled craftsmen, and we have no foundation, so we can only start from scratch and slowly explore." Lin Weiye hesitated, "Maybe you have to invest a lot of money, and you have to blow a lot of glass, you have to be mentally prepared." ”

Xia Nan waved his hand: "Anything that money can solve, it's not a problem." ”

"Okay, with your words, I'll just let it go." Lin Weiye laughed at himself, "I can't imagine that I am an engineer in the metallurgical industry, and after crossing over, I will have to know all eighteen kinds of martial arts, such as textiles, cement, munitions, shipbuilding, and glass...... None of them have anything to do with the major they are studying. ”

Xia Nan hurriedly answered: "Those who can work more, those who can work more!" ”

At the end of Chongzhen's fifth year, it was a busy season for Xia Nan and his Qiongzhou battalion, and the whole army was preparing for war with Liu Xiang: the arsenal cast a ship gun; At the same time, the shipyard started construction of a number of warships, including the new Yongle-class warship; Fortified cement fortifications and batteries were built in the port of Bosuke, and freshly baked 24-pounder shore defense guns were placed; The Navy has stepped up its training in naval combat capabilities with its existing Wuyi-class and Wuxiang-class warships.

The armament was tightened, and the Tiannan Commercial Bank was not idle: a new branch of a textile factory and a distillery was built in Guangzhou, and a better source of labor and raw materials was used to further reduce costs and expand production capacity; Lingao Distillery began to upgrade its process, steaming purer liquor, and preparing to launch more high-end products; The fragrance was successfully prototyped and produced in small batches, ready to be brought to market in due course.

Wang Qinian set off with a new mission and Liang Dong to find Liu Xiang's main force there, intending to break into its interior to provide news to the Qiongzhou battalion. (To be continued.) )
