Zhang Fan left full power over the draft to Zhou Zhonghong, and he was really too lazy to worry about this kind of thing.

Anyway, the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry. This was the problem that the other party was looking for, so naturally he had to handle it.

But this incident also served as a reminder to him that now that his status is different, he has to pay attention to the impact of what he says and does.

Things like visiting a brothel are probably something he won't be able to do in the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan sighed helplessly, and then checked the progress of the major expansion plan.

Now four or five days have passed since his plan, and the progress is only about one-fifth completed, which is not too slow but not too fast either.

But it is worth mentioning that the current Third Army's naval ships are all fully equipped, and only then did Zhang Fan know that aircraft carriers were also built!

The aircraft carriers built by the Allies are all top-of-the-line aircraft carriers, capable of carrying 36 jet fighters, 6 helicopters, and 5 airborne early warning aircraft.

In addition, the aircraft carrier is also equipped with tracking radars, electronic warfare systems, combat command systems, ship self-defense counterattack systems, as well as anti-air missiles and close combat defense weapon systems.

In terms of configuration alone, the panels of the aircraft carrier are actually much more luxurious than those of the Dreadnought-class battleships, but in terms of actual combat, when facing the Dreadnought-class battleships, Zhang Fan really has a hard time judging who is stronger and who is weaker.

But one thing is certain, that is, as a command ship, the command role of an aircraft carrier is much stronger than that of a Dreadnought-class battleship.

But this function actually doesn't have much effect on Zhang Fan today. After all, the navy at this time...even if it doesn't take a shot, it can sink them if hit.

What qualifications do a group of wooden boats have to try to crush their aircraft carrier in all aspects? Even a destroyer can probably beat them without even daring to fart.

Now that he has a ship, Zhang Fan's first thought is to develop port trade. After this transaction, Zhang Fan has given top priority to gold.

And where in the world has the most gold?

Of course it’s America!

Of course, Maozi's side is not bad, but they are not in a hurry for the time being. After they take over the capital, the next step is to take care of them. By then, they will not all be theirs.

Sometimes Zhang Fan also thought that aggression was wrong, but whenever he hesitated, a voice would always echo in his ears.

"I would rather bear the infamy of aggression in my lifetime than let future generations enjoy the blessings!"

What Zhang Fan could do in his beautiful country back then, he, Zhang Fan, can do now!

What Japan did back then, Zhang Fan can do even better!

But before going there, Zhang Fan has to establish one thing, that is, he has to let the current maritime overlord know who has the final say on the current sea!

“It’s really exciting!”

Zhang Fan imagined how the Dreadnought-class battleships would kill everyone on the sea in the future, and he suddenly felt a little proud.

Land, minerals, resources, that’s all!

…

Time flies by, as if in the blink of an eye, the day of the draft has arrived.

Seeing the beautiful ladies standing quietly in front of him in plain and elegant clothes, Zhang Fan felt uncomfortable all over.

There are about thirty people participating in the draft this time, and Zhang Fan has a list in his hand, and their names, ages, horoscopes, and life backgrounds are recorded on the list.

After a rough scan, the corners of Zhang Fan's eyes couldn't help but twitch.

The oldest among them is only eighteen, and the youngest is even old enough to be sentenced!

What's this old guy doing, sending all the kids who haven't grown up to him?

Looking at the application full of doubts handed over by Zhang Fan, Zhou Zhonghong nodded slightly and smiled.

Laugh nm!

Zhang Fan really wanted to scold his mother at this moment, but at the same time, he was also very glad that he was here, otherwise if this guy picked a fourteener and sent it in, he would go crazy.

After a series of "heart-beating" selections, Zhang Fan finally selected only three women to be his maids.

After all, I am alone at the moment, and it is not good to have too many people to take care of.

The youngest of these three women is 17, and the eldest is 18. This is already close to the older ones. If there are two more women, they will probably have to be fifteen.

These three women are Xiao Qinxue from the Xiao family in Suzhou, Zhou Xianyun from the Zhou family in Jiangning, and Wang Wanhui, the daughter of a merchant.

Zhang Fan didn't care much about the backgrounds of the three of them, but he doubted whether the eldest lady, who had been pampered since childhood, could serve others. But then he thought about it, he didn't really need to serve others, he just did it for others to watch.

As for why I had to choose three people with backgrounds...

He would rather choose someone with no background, but the problem is that the others are almost younger than his sister. If this really happens and he loses control one day, do you want him to be treated like a beast or worse than a beast?

The draft matter ended in such a hasty manner. After this draft, it was obvious that there were fewer rumors among the people. At least no one said that they were as good as Long Yang.

However, although the rumors among the people have stopped, Zhang Fan has a headache. There are three beauties with different styles in the family for no reason. It is really exciting and nervous at the same time.

"Qinxue has met the Lord!"

"Xianyun has met the master!"

"Hui'er has met the adults!"

After the draft ended, the originally bustling mansion suddenly became deserted. Apart from the red police soldiers standing guard, only Zhang Fan and three maids were left in the huge courtyard.

Looking at the three women kneeling in front of him, Zhang Fan couldn't help but sigh and said: "Everyone, get up. I don't have so many rules here. From today on, you are my maids, and your task is to be responsible.

Taking care of these flowers and plants in the courtyard, I know that you are from a noble family, and you cannot do what you want to do to serve others.

It just so happens that I don’t like having people waiting on me. You just need to take care of the flowers and plants in this courtyard. You don’t need to take care of the rest. Do you understand?" www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

"yes!"

Listening to Zhang Fan's words, the three women had different expressions. Among them, Xiao Qinxue's expression was obviously relieved, while Zhou Yunxian also had an indifferent expression that made it difficult to tell whether she was happy or angry. Only Wang Wanhui's eyes revealed a hint of relief.

Lost.

As for the little thoughts of the three women, Zhang Fan didn't know and didn't bother to know what they were thinking. Anyway, under his nose, they couldn't cause any big trouble.

…

"Brother, brother, wake up..."

At this moment, in a small village under Yangzhou Prefecture, a disheveled woman was lying on the body of a man, crying continuously.

And she was surrounded by people watching the fun.

"What's going on? Isn't that the daughter of the Liu family? What's going on?"

"Don't mention it, it seems to offend someone..."

"Offended someone? Who?"

"I heard it seems to be the Taiping Army..."

"What? Those rebels in Zhenjiang Prefecture?"

"Isn't that right? Alas, it's really pitiful. The Liu family is unlucky to have encountered the Taiping Army. They not only robbed people of wealth, but also killed people and robbed them of sex. Aren't they just a group of bandits? How do they have anything to do with Taiping?"
