At night, the Dengzhou Governor's Mansion was already brightly lit.

In the banquet hall of the middle court of the Governor's Palace.

Li Yuanba sat on the main seat, Li Ke and Li Su brothers sat next to Li Yuanba, one on each side, and the two brothers had bright smiles on their faces, and it could be seen that these two were in a very good mood.

As for the other attendants, in addition to Wang Jun, the governor of the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Ziqi, the governor of Dengzhou, and Tongtian Gang, the governor of Dengzhou, there are also Shi Bai Zhanbo, the governor of Dengzhou, and Chen Wuji, Sima of Dengzhou......

This large group of people are all senior governors of Dengzhou.

Li Yuanba even thought evilly, if a bomb was dropped here at this time, would the entire Dengzhou be paralyzed in an instant?

"Ladies and gentlemen, during this king's absence, I would like to thank you for assisting Ke'er in managing Dengzhou, otherwise, Ke'er would have been blinded! Come, this king will give you a drink! Do it first! ”

Li Yuanba stood up with a wine cup, and actually thanked everyone present, and then drank it all first.

"His Royal Highness King Wu is polite, we are in his position, so we naturally want to seek his own government!"

Zhao Ziqi, the assassin of Dengzhou, also picked up the wine glass in front of him, drank it all in one gulp, and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is quick to think and cautious, and he has the style of everyone when he encounters problems. The lower officials and others are just doing their part, Dengzhou can be so smooth, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is the greatest contribution! ”

"Lord Assassin Shi is serious, this king is still studying, I want to say that everyone ......" When he said this, Li Ke shook his head slowly.

Just looking at the irrepressible smile on this guy's face, you know that this guy is actually very proud.

"Hahaha, don't praise him, his ability is still not clear?" Li Yuanba laughed and said, "Okay, let's only talk about Fengyue today, not about business!" Let's start with that. If anyone leaves the table first, don't blame the king for being cautious, and give them a stumbling block in the future! ”

"No, no! Let's not get drunk today! ”

Don't look at Tian Gang as a general, in fact, he is thick and fine, since the prince has spoken, then he naturally has to have a good time tonight!

"Okay, don't get drunk and don't go home!"

For a moment, the banquet hall was plunged into a sea of joy.

……

In the early morning, the sun had just climbed into the sky. Li Yuanba woke up from his deep sleep.

Shaking his still somewhat groggy head, thinking of yesterday's situation, Li Yuanba couldn't help but shake his head.

Yesterday, the party finally dispersed until the ugly hour, and he didn't know how much wine he drank, anyway, when he came later, even his tongue began to roll.

"Bai Fu?" Li Yuanba shouted outside the house.

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Bai Fu, the housekeeper who seemed to have changed little from when Li Yuanba left, pushed the door and walked in, saluted Li Yuanba respectfully, and said, "Master! ”

glanced at Bai Fu. Li Yuanba smiled: "How is it?" In the past few months, has anything happened in the house? ”

Bai Fu shook his head and said, "Thanks to the master's blessing, everything is fine!" It's just that...... It's just that Rou Niang is happy. It is estimated that it will be ready for production in two months! ”

"Two more months?" Li Yuanba muttered twice, and suddenly laughed dumbly: "Isn't that the three guns already happy before they went to Goguryeo with this king?" This Zhao Sanpao, is it tightly hidden? ”

A smile also appeared on Bai Fu's face, which could be seen. There is another new addition to the palace, and Bai Fu, the old housekeeper, is still very happy.

"The host, early in the morning. Master Chang is already waiting in the front hall, do you want the old slave to arrange for you to change your clothes, wash up, and then summon him? Bai Fu saw that Li Yuanba seemed to want to get dressed, so he casually talked about it.

"He's more anxious than I am!" Li Yuanba shook his head and said, "You just let him wait in the study, and this king will go over after washing." ”

"No!"

Bai Fu answered and walked out.

……

The innermost workshop of the Dengzhou Shipyard has become a forbidden place in Dengzhou since the shipyard began to make steel, and every day there will be a thousand soldiers of the Dengzhou Guard stationed here.

Especially when those two strange machines were transported into the shipyard from outside, the guards became tighter, and anyone who wanted to enter here had to have a warrant from the governor of the prefecture, Shi Wangjun, or His Royal Highness the King of Shu.

If someone dares to trespass here, they will be killed on the spot by the Dengzhou guards stationed there, and there will be no hands.

The reason why this place is so tightly guarded is mainly because there is a method of making stainless steel, coupled with the existence of a steam engine, everything is a secret among the secrets of Datang.

Besides, if the steam engine production base in the Shenji Prefecture branch is also moved to Dengzhou, I am afraid that these Dengzhou guards alone will not be enough to protect the safety of the shipyard.

Li Yuanba would even arrange for 5,000 Shenwu guards and dozens of Shenwu cannons to be stationed here.

If there is any wind and grass at the reverse time, it will be a divine cannon that will crush the realm and shatter everything!

Of course, this is only hypothetical.

"Boom!"

As soon as Li Yuanba came outside the workshop, he heard the roar of a machine like thunder.

Hearing this familiar voice, Li Yuanba suddenly felt a little enthusiastic.

You must know that when the steam engine was just developed, Li Yuanba never had this feeling, and now this situation is really rare.

Li Su, who was following Li Yuanba, heard this sound like thunder, blocked his ears with some annoyance, and said, "Fourth Emperor Uncle, where is this noise?" ”

"Noise?" Li Yuanba glanced at Li Su angrily and said, "This voice sounds like a heavenly sound to the Fourth Emperor Uncle!" ”

Li Su rolled his eyes, and his heart was full of slander.

"Your Highness, you're here!"

Chang Baisheng and Chang Sansheng, who received the report from the people below, all ran out in blue overalls, and saluted Li Yuanba when they met.

Li Yuanba motioned to the Chang Sansheng brothers to excuse themselves, and said with great relief: "Two adults, you two have been able to build a steamship in such a short time, and you two have made great contributions, and this king will definitely ask Your Majesty for the two of you!" ”

These years of working hard, it's not for fame and fortune, now that people have spoken, they have no reason to refuse:

"Thank you, Lord Wang!"

"Well, is the ship in this workshop right now?" Li Yuanba nodded and asked.

Chang Sansheng and the two brothers glanced at each other and said in unison: "Your Highness, there is a waterway in this innermost workshop that can reach the sea directly, so the ship has been here since it was built!" ”

"Okay, take this king to see!" Li Yuanba was in a hurry to see the ship, and he couldn't care about chatting anymore, so he directly pulled Li Su and went to the workshop. (To be continued.) )
