The next day, out of politeness, when Chen Kai went to greet Aunt Dong You again, he was invited in by the latter. Fortunately, there were servants in the room, and Zheng Jing was there, so it was easy to talk. But there was actually nothing that Aunt Dong You wanted to talk about.

Get rid of the etiquette aspect.

"I have been recuperating in Nan'ao for the past few days, and I have troubled Chen Canjun to worry about it. Now that I am in good health, I plan to set off by boat this afternoon. I would like to ask Chen Canjun to make arrangements for me."

"So fast?"

Chen Kai blurted out, and then apologized repeatedly, saying that he would arrange the matter with Chen Bao. However, this surprise shocked Aunt Dong You to death. If the words had not been spoken, it would be inconvenient to change them.

I was afraid that she might immediately ask to leave Nan'ao Island by boat, and she might even think that there was a man-eating monster on Nan'ao Island.

In the afternoon, Dong Yougu got on the boat and left Nan'ao Island, taking Zheng Jing and the girl with her. One of them was going to see her husband, and the other two were going to visit their fathers. Since they originally stopped at Nan'ao Island,

It was an accident, so when the accident is over, everything will naturally return to normal.

In the afternoon, the ship sailed away. As far as Chen Kai knew, Zheng Chenggong and Zheng Hongkui were now in Jieyang, but there were still some local tyrants who refused to surrender and pirates were infested on the road, so they chose the safest route - from

Beixi entered the Hanjiang waterway, and after arriving at Chaozhou City, troops were sent to escort them to Jieyang.

When the ship comes, Chen Kai, as a local official, has to greet it. When the ship leaves, Chen Kai, as a local official, also has to see it off. This is the minimum etiquette for local officials from ancient times to the present, especially in this country of etiquette.

Already.

It's just that, unlike when the ship came, it left in a hurry, but it made his heart feel empty and miserable. Chen Kai knew exactly why he felt like this, but once he thought of what he had done with the girl in the past few days,

The heaviness of talking about everything can only make him feel breathless, and he even doesn't know whether he is really qualified and has the time to look forward to love.

"With all due respect, I'm afraid this is not Chen Canjun's style!"

"Maybe, maybe it was just a beautiful encounter from the beginning."

Loss brought pessimism. Chen Kai dismissed his entourage and stood alone on the dock, looking at the calm sea in the distance and the silent dark traces on the sea and sky line, where he came here two years ago.

Now two years have passed since he started from the previous starting point. Now he looks back again. The country is still the same, but his state of mind is very different.

"The Township of Wenwen is the Tomb of Heroes, or it can be said that the love between children is long and the hero is short-tempered. Although it is indeed unkind to attribute the reason for failure to success to women, for me, I may have been too distracted recently. Every day

It’s really outrageous to wait in a daze for the next date to have a private meeting with that little girl whose name I don’t even know.”

Once some things are figured out and you calm down again, the situation will be completely different. Chen Kai returned to Nan'ao City again. As his work status gradually recovered, he began to hold a series of meetings a few days later.

The first is the Ordnance Bureau. Now the Ordnance Bureau is no longer just a workshop. Not to mention the continuous expansion and staff expansion of the workshop itself, it also has subordinate weapons testing ground, charcoal burning plant, saltpeter field, gunpowder manufacturing workshop and

The military uniform manufacturing workshop has already been on track.

Among them, the large-scale output of saltpeter has been able to support the expenses of the army. Zheng Chenggong even used it to support Zheng Hongkui's troops. The military uniform manufacturing workshop now has more than a hundred regular employees and various handymen.

Garments are being produced in large quantities at an unimaginable production speed in this era. If it were not for standard-sized uniforms, the government and the military would have enough customers for the time being. Chen Kai was even considering building this workshop into the world's largest.

A large-scale garment manufacturing enterprise, entering the international market.

The foundation has been laid, but it is not very solid. Apart from this, iron ore, sulfur and cloth either need to be purchased from sea trade or distributed by Zheng Chenggong, and cannot form a complete industrial chain.

This problem was not originally a problem for local officials. However, the area Chen Kai was responsible for was nothing more than the enclave of Nan'ao, Dongshan, Haishan and Zhao'an. The human and material resources were really limited, especially raw materials.

On the other hand, it may not be possible for ordinary people to be self-sufficient, let alone produce under a quasi-industrialized model.

The purpose of Chen Kai's meeting was to speak freely, but these guys either dared not speak because of his illustrious reputation, or they simply didn't understand. In the end, all the opinions came together, and they were nothing more than "Please continue to regain the lost ground",

It seems like they don't know anything else except this.

"These guys, it seems like I really need to talk to Zheng Chenggong."

Funds, raw materials, and scientific and technological levels have restricted the further development of the enterprise. The development of the enterprise has reached a bottleneck. Chen Kai is ready to change his mind and try again. However, this is not the only burden on his shoulders. He also has the responsibility for the four occupied areas.

Civil affairs, even how to deal with the traitor Shi Lang, is also indispensable.

"We still have to meet Zheng Chenggong."

Here, Chen Kai has begun to prepare a plan, and will wait for the right time to go to Chaozhou to meet Zheng Chenggong to promote his new plan. At the same time, perhaps due to telepathy, Zheng Chenggong is also preparing to send a messenger to South Australia to invite Chen Kai to Jieyang.

meeting.

"Let Chen Canjun go to Jieyang? Husband, isn't that appropriate?"

Dong Yougu and his party arrived in Chaozhou Fucheng, and it happened that most of Zheng Chenggong's troops also returned here to repair. After a long separation, Zheng Chenggong began to write to Chen Kai, intending to interview Chen Kai on some matters and listen to his opinions, but

Dong Yougu didn't seem very relieved about this.

"Um?"

They have been married for many years, and even though they have rarely reunited in the past two years, Zheng Chenggong still knows about Aunt Dong You. His first wife is the most typical lady of the family, a woman raised in a scholar's family, well-educated, knowledgeable about etiquette, and extremely obedient to her husband.

Baishun had no choice as husband and child. Two years ago, Zheng Chenggong fought bloody battles in Nan'ao, Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and even Chaozhou. Aunt Dong You took care of his grandmother, Mrs. Huang, in his hometown in Anping Town and raised Zheng Chenggong.

After all, you are very careful and a good wife is indispensable. But now you are speaking out against official duties. There must be a reason.

Sure enough, as Dong Yougu told Zheng Chenggong what she saw and heard on Nan'ao Island, those changes that were different from others were secondary, but in Dong Yougu's view, the relationship between Chen Kai and Zheng Chenggong's cousin

Perhaps there was some vague emotion in it, which aroused Zheng Chenggong's interest.

"It's actually a happy ending?"

Zheng Chenggong was stunned for a moment after hearing this. However, after carefully recalling the possible intersection between the two, he smiled slightly and said, "This matter is somewhat interesting."

Unexpectedly, Zheng Chenggong would react like this. Dong Yougu felt anxious and began to explain her thoughts. But after all, it was just asking Chen Kai to go to Jieyang now, or even come to see Zheng Chenggong, in case Chen Kai

If he suddenly wanted to propose marriage to Zheng Hongkui, Zheng Chenggong would have some reasons for being passive.

"Husband, the fate is good, but she is the apple of my uncle's eye after all!"

Speaking of this, how could Zheng Chenggong not understand the implication of her words: "Madam, you are not afraid that Jingcheng is not worthy of fate, because you know that with Jingcheng's talent, in today's world,

, even the princess and empress are not worthy of it, and even those phoenix and dragon grandsons who dream of becoming emperors on their own are afraid that they will be willing to give up even the so-called princess and empress. To put it bluntly, you are afraid that he will marry Yuan.

If you have fate, you won’t be able to use it for me anymore, right?”

"Well, that's what I mean."

It is true that Zheng Hongkui is Zheng Chenggong's fourth uncle. It is true that Zheng Hongkui has taken great care of Zheng Chenggong over the years. It is even true that Zheng Hongkui's current strength has been surpassed by Zheng Chenggong. But in the final analysis, Zheng Hongkui is different from the other members of the Ishii Zheng family.

The other uncles and brothers of the Zheng Group were the second in command under Zheng Zhilong earlier. Now they still lead the army alone. They have six to seven thousand tigers and hundreds of warships under their command in Jieyang and Kinmen. Their strength is incredible.

Don't underestimate it. If Chen Kai really marries Zheng Hongkui's daughter, he will only become closer to the Yue family. Once his assistants change families, one will wax and wane, and it will be very disadvantageous for Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Chenggong can certainly understand this thought, and he is very touched that Dong Yougu can think of this for him. However, there are some things that he has already seen clearly and understood clearly, but they are not the things of a boudoir woman.

It only takes a few words to convince you.
