Dotai Mansion Hall.

Li Zhenjin sits on the left side of the main square of the hall, Liu Taiping, Huang Shihai, Zhou Xiuying, Smith, Lu Shaochuan, Zhu Wu, and Bojia, and on the right side sits Qi Zhenhai, Yang Banhou, Lan Weiwen, Dai Yuanhua, Ma Si, Ye Chengcheng, Tong Siye, Gu Lina, and Sister Alice. In addition to Zhilan and Liu Die, the people under Li Zhen's command were involved, including all the henchmen under Li Zhen's command.

Before Li Zhen led his army to Haihai, Liu Taiping had already ordered Qi Zhenhai and Yang Banhou to withdraw their troops.

The two received Liu Taiping's order and returned to the sea non-stop, but they were one step ahead of Li Zhen.

When Qi Zhenhai arrived in the sea, he was ecstatic to get the news that Liu Die was pregnant. Liu Die is pregnant, and the Qi family finally has a queen. Qi Zhenhai has an heir, and even Huang Shihai, Lu Shaochuan, and Smith are a little envious. These big men have been in the barracks all day long, and they haven't even found their targets.

Qi Zhenhai and others arrived at the sea, and Li Zhen led the army to rush back.

Li Zhen did not rest, and directly ordered to convene the people under his command to discuss the matter.

Time was of the essence.

Li Zhen also got the news of Liu Die's pregnancy in his spare time, and was relieved for Liu Taiping and Qi Zhenhai.

At this moment, Li Zhen glanced at everyone in the hall, and when he saw that everyone was here, he said in a deep voice: "Everyone already knows the news that Ben Shuai is about to rush to Guangzhou to take up his post. Although I went to Guangzhou, although the people were not in the sea, the sea could not be chaotic, and we had to follow the policy set by the commander, so I directly chose a new Kaidotai. ”

Most people were indifferent when these words were spoken, but Lan Weiwen's heart tightened.

Among all of them, only Lan Weiwen is officialdom.

Sure enough, Li Zhen's eyes fell on Lan Weiwen, and he said in a deep voice: "Lan Weiwen's performance during this period of time is very good, and people are called 'Lan Qingtian', and Ben Shuai is proud to have a subordinate like you." Ben Shuai is about to go to Guangzhou to take up your post, and you will temporarily take the place of Haidaotai and concurrently serve as the superintendent of the Jiang Customs to handle maritime affairs. I will play the specific appointment, Jiangsu Governor Xu Naizhao, he will promulgate the appointment, and you will take it when the time comes. ”

Lan Weiwen immediately got up and knelt down on one knee and said, "Xiaguan must live up to your lord's hope, and you must manage the sea in an orderly manner." ”

Li Zhen frowned slightly and said, "Get up, you know that Ben Shuai doesn't like people to kneel." ”

"Yes, yes!!"

Lan Weiwen was also excited and knelt down directly.

In fact, the etiquette of kneeling and saluting like this originated from the idea in Lan Weiwen's bones, and she knelt down without thinking. Since I was a child, I have always knelt down when I see officials, and when I see the emperor, I have to kneel down in various ways, so Lan Weiwen didn't change it for a while.

Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "The marshal went to Guangzhou to take up his post, but the sea is the foundation of the marshal, and there is no room for error. If you are derelict in your duties, even if you are in Guangzhou, you will be deposed, and I hope you will do your duty to govern the sea well. ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, your subordinates must remember your teachings, fulfill your duties, and dare not slack off in the slightest."

Lan Weiwen was loyal to Li Zhen and didn't have any worries.

Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said: "Ben Shuai's promotion to the governor of Guangzhou is no longer limited to a small county town. Now he is the governor of Guangzhou, and he will rise step by step in the future. As long as you do a good job in the sea, Ben Shuai will not hesitate to promote, and will transfer you to your side. With the promotion of this commander, although you don't want to be a governor or something like a governor in the future, you can at least be a governor of a province. ”

"Goo-dong!!"

Lan Weiwen swallowed her saliva, her eyes revealing infinite longing.

He was originally just a small county commander, but now he has become Haidaotai, and he is already very satisfied in his heart.

However, Li Zhen sketched a grander blueprint for him, which made Lan Weiwen suddenly see greater hope. At this moment, Lan Weiwen just wanted to hug Li Zhen's thighs and be loyal to Li Zhen, and prayed in her heart that Li Zhen could be crowned marquis and pay homage to him, and he would also follow him to become an official. Lan Weiwen has lived for nearly half her life, although she is greedy for money, she is unknown and unknown. Now that I have the opportunity, I am very excited.

"Stand down!"

Li Zhen flicked his sleeves, and Lan Weiwen obediently returned to her seat.

"General, I have something to say!"

Suddenly, Maas stood up and saluted.

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "It's okay to say it directly!" ”

Maas took a deep breath and said, "The military factory has been opened in the sea and is starting to operate normally, as long as it is maintained. Next, I plan to go to Guangzhou with the general to set up a factory in Guangzhou, and the general answers. ”

Li Zhen frowned and shook his head, "You stay in the sea for the time being, and I will leave the rest to you." ”

"Ahh

Maas let out a low sigh of surprise and his face was full of surprise.

He thought that he was 100% sure that he went to Guangzhou with Li Zhen, but now he got the news that he was staying in the sea, and he was very disappointed.

If the arsenal is half-dead and stubborn, it will not be able to expand the business of the Beretta family. Maas still did not give up, continued: "The general went to Guangzhou to set up a factory, and the Beretta family only sent experts and workers, and did not participate in the management of the factory. Everything is managed by the general, and after earning money, the Beretta family only needs forty percent of the profits. ”

Li Zhen shook his head when he heard this.

Dai Yuanhua taught Li Zhen that the craftsmen under his command already had the ability to set up a factory alone.

Even Li Zhen can hire specialized weapons experts at a high salary, and he can also set up factories. Running your own factory can firmly control the control in your hands. Mas is involved, even if Li Zhen is the main one, but Maas will still consider the interests of the Beretta family. When the two clash violently, Maas will side with the Beretta family. In order to avoid disputes in the future, it is better to leave Maas at sea.

For Li Zhen's own good, and for Maas's good.

Seeing that Li Zhen refused again, Maas said: "General, we don't want forty percent of the profit, just thirty percent of the profit." General, this is already the minimum profit I can call the shots. ”

Li Zhen sighed in his heart and said again: "The matter of going to Guangzhou can be postponed, because I can't gain a firm foothold in Guangzhou for a short time, and Guangzhou is also attacked by the British and French forces, so I must put down the rebellion." When I stabilize the situation in Guangzhou, you are welcome to come to Guangzhou and set up a factory. Now your main mission is to travel to Nanjing to sell weapons to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and make a profit. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lan Weiwen, Tong Si, Bo Jia and others all raised their eyebrows.

Funding the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a collaborator!

At this moment, several people understood Li Zhen's ambition. The person in front of him is definitely not a person who is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, but a person who climbs for his own interests. Li Zhen looked sincere and continued: "You went to Nanjing once and were kicked out because the bandits were strong and didn't need weapons. Now that the banditry is weakening, weapons are urgently needed. You're going to make a big profit this time, and that's what I'm giving you. ”

"It's me who understands!"

Maas was suddenly a little discouraged, and stopped refuting.
