Ding Kui stayed in Zhennan City for a day, and found that no one came to look for him, so he wanted to leave early on the third day, but he never wanted to bump into Long Kun who came in a hurry at the entrance of the Zhongmo Branch.

"Don't go yet, go to my yard and sit. "Long Kun has a separate courtyard in Zhennan City, whether Ding Kui wants to drag it away or not.

"That's one of Brother Kui's fathers-in-law, Long Kun, the commander of the equipment department. Li Fei explained to Cha Yang, who let go of the fist in his sleeve.

"There's an extra eye-catching guard. Long Kun noticed the movement behind him.

"Offerings, the new chief offerings of my family. ”

Long Kun turned around and nodded to Cha Yang, which was regarded as a greeting. The offering is different from the guard, the master has to be polite when he sees it, and the chief offering recognized by Ding Kui will not be bad, Long Kun naturally has to look at Cha Yang differently.

"You're a master, you're so lucky, when will you recommend me an offering?" he was red-eyed.

You must know that Ding Yu is not the chief worshipper, so how powerful is this newcomer!

"You're kidding me, the Long family has more offerings than my guards!"

"If you don't want to, forget it, don't exaggerate it. ”

Soon a carriage arrived and took them to the courtyard.

When he came to the other courtyard, his subordinates took Li Fei, Cha Yang and Ao Yu to rest in the side hall, and Long Kun led Ding Kui straight into the study.

"What agreement did you reach with An Guogong?" Long Kun got straight to the point.

"Yo, your news is really well-informed, I just talked to my uncle the day before yesterday, and you came here today, it won't be your uncle who told you, right?" Ding Kui asked tentatively.

"You don't care about this, is there any?" Long Kun is scheming, how can he be so easy to be fooled.

"Yes, how dare my son-in-law hide it from you. Ding Kui deliberately stopped and sold it.

"Railways and rail cars are more important to the Long family, and we have to spend a huge amount of money every year just to transport raw materials, not counting the cost of maintaining official roads. I don't care what conditions Jiang Li gives you, the Long family can also afford it, in short, you must help the Long family build a railway. "Long Kun is bound to win.

"I only promised the Jiang family to build a railway in Anguo County, the Long family's needs are not only in Weiguo County, the same conditions are not suitable. Ding Kui was noncommittal.

"Let's talk about how to talk to Jiang Li first. "Long Kun feels like there's a play.

Ding Kui added fuel to the vinegar and said again the conditions he had negotiated with Jiang Li, not expecting Long Kun to believe it all, but just laying the foundation for the next negotiations.

"I can't give it to you, officer, how about the weapons and equipment? Or change it to raw materials, if you want to form a new army, you will definitely lack these things, and the Long family can just give it to you." Long Kun had a bottom in his heart.

"It can't be counted like this, I spend money to buy it, doesn't the Long family sell it? I don't have rare things that can be bought with gold coins, I want people and technology. Ding Kui began to ask for a price.

"The Long family will help you build a shipbuilding workshop and send you the best shipbuilders. Long Kun made a counteroffer at his discretion.

"My navy can protect itself, building a big ship will cause unrest in Bangladesh and my own country, and I want to be a shipbuilder but I can't use it. So be it, I want craftsmen. ”

"Craftsman?" Long Kun was very strange, "The ink craftsman is with you, and Master Qingyang Zi is also there, what more craftsmen do you need?" ”

"No, no, no, it's too much to ask the craftsman, and the son-in-law is not so greedy. I want to start an engineering school, and I need senior craftsmen as professors. Oh, don't mention the ink and Qingyangzi, their family inheritance doesn't teach outsiders, I can't force them. ”

"Engineering Academy, you want to teach civilians to become craftsmen?" Long Kun couldn't understand.

"Let's just say that the training of craftsmen is for my use, no, for the use of the imperial court. Ding Kui accidentally said that he had leaked his mouth.

Long Kun sat up straight and said, "I have to talk to you about this matter."

You run a military academy and train officers for your own troops, this is no problem, even if there are spies mixed in, you can send people to hunt down and kill you if you defect in the future, and you can at least control the vast majority of the cadets.

However, training craftsmen is different, your factory is not all militarized, and most of your craftsmen are easily accessible to the outside world, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will be poached in the future.

Craftsmen, whoever gives more money will do it with whom, since ancient times, you can't send someone to chase and kill because a craftsman ran away with someone else, there is no such rule in the world, you will offend the craftsmen all over the world.

I'll give you some craftsmen to help you do that, what, what engineering college, it's not a big problem, but someone will definitely come to pick peaches in the future, and you will be the one who suffers. ”

Ding Kui also sat up straight and said solemnly: "Your words are reasonable, but I have a different opinion.

People who can make money are not afraid of spending money, and the College of Engineering is not afraid of being poached by others if they can train craftsmen, and the more others dig, the greater the fame of the college, the more people are willing to come to the college to study, and the more craftsmen the college cultivates, which is a virtuous circle.

Let's go back and see, what is the most attractive place for skilled craftsmen?

The armament department is responsible for supervising the production of weapons and equipment and various ordnance of the whole army, which can provide long-term and stable job opportunities, and there is no need to consider profits and losses.

There is no workshop in the world that can compare to the scale of my factory, and in time I can build a large factory with thousands of people, and do exclusive trading, no one in the world can compete with me, and I believe that my factory is also very attractive to craftsmen.

Who will the students of the engineering college choose to work with after graduation? The Long family and the Ding family will inevitably be their first choice.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people will be poached and return to a virtuous circle, which still outweighs the disadvantages for me. ”

Long Kun fell into thought, digesting Ding Kui's theory.

The professional school is still too new for people in this world, and Long Kun can't understand it all at once.

"People can give it to you, and what happens in the future is your business, in short, you have to send someone to guide us in building the railway. First in Weiguo County, the rail car operation will be held in proportion to the Jiang family, and we will talk about it after the expansion. "He is much more crisp than Jiang Li.

Rail transportation is indeed more important to the Long family, there are countless workshops in Weiguo County, and all kinds of raw materials are continuously transported into Weiguo County every day, and countless handmade products are shipped to various places.

The roads in Weiguo County have to be repaired every year, the transportation line is the lifeline of the Long family, and the railway is the main artery with strong transportation capacity.

After the rail car ran in Juyang City, the Long family took a fancy to this means of transportation at a glance, but they knew that this was Ding Kui's heart, and Ding Kui should not share this technology with others before the railway network of Nanqiu County was completed.

After Jiang Li negotiated with Ding Kui, he immediately ordered Anguo County to start preparing for the construction of the railway, which alarmed the Long family, and Long Kun immediately rushed to Zhennan City when he heard the news.

"Okay! When the railway in Anguo County is completed, I will send someone to Weiguo County. It was inconvenient for Ding Kui to blackmail his father-in-law, and he regretted very much that he didn't take a step earlier.

"No! We can't be left behind the Jiang family. ”

"This, you can't embarrass your son-in-law, there is always a priority in everything, my agreement with the Jiang family is in front, you can't be in front. Ding Kui was dumbfounded by Long Kun.

"Hehe, this is what the old man meant, if I can't deal with the old man when I go home, I won't let you go. Long Kun threw the pot to Wei Guogong.

Ding Kui thought to himself: I promise you that it will be difficult to guarantee that you will not be slapped to death by your grandfather when you go back.

"There's something I didn't want to talk about, but now I need to report back to you. He recalled the information sent urgently by Shaodian last night, combined with today's events, and his heart was no longer entangled.

"If you have something, you can say it, what can't you say about your own people, is it related to the people of the Long family?" Long Kun looked surprised, what he said in the end was really possible.

"That's right. ”

Ding Kui received a secret report last night that the people of the Long family participated in the dispute between Zhong Wei and Mu Sen, which was tantamount to inciting Ding Kui's wife and concubine to disagree.

Long Kun listened to Ding Kui's story, and his face became more and more ugly.

The Long family has a big business, and there is a dragon yuan in the clan, and there are countless people in the side branches, and there are many people who don't know Long Kun and have never heard of it, but they can find out the genealogy.

The people involved in the battle in Ding Kui's backyard came from a branch of the Long clan, belonging to the lineage of the old Long Sheng, and their origins were not small.

Long Sheng is an old man with real power, in charge of the family's important industries, and has a high status in the clan, and is also one of Long Dang's childhood friends, and has won Long Dang's trust.

His descendants went to Ding Kui's territory to do things, and it was not a good thing, but they fell into Ding Kui's trap again, and they were caught by others, and they couldn't deny it.

"I haven't moved for the time being, and I wanted to ask myself when I went back this time, where did I offend them? Or did I not give them benefits, did I not let them make money from me, so I had to go to my house and meddle in my family affairs. ”

Ding Kui's tone was not good, and he must have been murderous towards those people.

"Leave this matter to me, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation, you should hurry up and deal with the railway affairs, the sooner the better. "Long Kun didn't mention the matter of being in front of the Jiang family.

"Yes, I'll hand it over to you when I ask clearly. ”

"Don't ask, save some face for the Long family, and save some face for me and my father, it's good for Long Yan and Long Tan. Long Kun didn't dare to hand over the person to Ding Kui to ask.

The first is that he doesn't want to break the scandal of the Long family, the second is that he is worried that those people will anger Ding Kui and kill himself, and the third is to prevent more people from knowing about it.

"Well, this is the first time, the son-in-law takes care of the overall situation and saves some face for everyone, I will treat this matter as if I don't know, please deal with it.

If there is a next time, the father-in-law and the son-in-law are a face-saving person, and he is also anxious, and sometimes he is afraid that he will not be able to control himself. Ding Kui said the ugly words in front.

"Hmph, okay, you can go back if there's nothing to do, do you want me to send you?" Long Kun ordered the eviction.

He was very unhappy in his heart, because of Ding Kui's threat, because of those uncompetitive clansmen, and because it was difficult to tell Long Dang when he went back, the commander of the dignified equipment department would be angry here.

Before coming to the Central Demon Sub-Department again, Cha Yang suddenly proposed to go to Giant Sheep City by the official road, because he didn't want Ding Kui to spend a few more magic cores.

"Who do you think I am?" Ding Kui feigned.
