Chapter 550 [Before the shame, prefetch the southeast] eight
The three of them drank until midnight that night, and spent the night in the Wu Mansion. The next day, Mu Linfeng got up and saw Wu Xing squatting next to the steam engine again to conduct his research. What he said last night has probably been forgotten.
.
Mu Linfeng shook his head helplessly. He also knew that it was impossible to ask Wu Xing to stop for a while. Wu Xing was the kind of person who always held back his discomfort. If he were asked to stop, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
Mu Linfeng looked around but did not see Kong Wu. After asking his servants, he found out that Kong Wu had already gone out early in the morning and asked his servants to leave a message for Mu Linfeng, saying that he had gone to the palace to take up his post.
But at this moment, someone from outside the Wu Mansion came to report that a servant from the palace was here and asked Mu Linfeng to go back. Fang Jiahang was already waiting for Mu Linfeng at the palace.
Mu Linfeng glanced at Su Xing, who had a sad face, shook his head, and quickly left the Wu Mansion and returned to the Wang Mansion without disturbing Wu Xing.
Fang Jiahang was waiting for Mu Linfeng in the study room of the palace at this time. He was being entertained by his servants. When Mu Linfeng came back, he immediately stepped forward to salute.
After Mu Linfeng sat down, he signaled Fang Jiahang to sit down as well, and then Fang Ahang said: "The battleship came out as scheduled, all thanks to Mr. Fang's hard work and supervision!"
Fang Jiahang quickly raised his hands and said: "This is what Fang promised to the prince, and he must do it no matter what!"
Mu Linfeng heard the implication of Fang Jiahang's words, which meant that he had done what Fang Jiahang promised Mu Linfeng, so Mu Linfeng should also do what he promised Fang Jiahang.
Exactly so, Mu Linfeng recruited Fang Ahang to Nanjing this time mainly for this matter. Previously, Mu Linfeng promised Fang Ahang that as long as he handed over the battleship as scheduled, he would sponsor Fang Ahang to study in the West.
Mu Linfeng pondered for a while, and after learning some things about Fang Ahang Shipyard, he asked if the shipyard could build ships at the same speed as before without the other party Ahang.
Fang Ahang told Mu Linfeng that the current shipyard is completely operating according to the general system of an iron factory. All workers are divided into groups carefully, and everyone has their own assigned tasks. Even if Fang Ahang is no longer in the shipyard for a year or two, the shipyard only needs to
Unless a major accident occurs, there will be no problems in production, and technically, in addition to Air A, there are many engineers and technicians who can help solve the problem.
Mu Linfeng nodded with confidence and thought, in this way, if Fang Ahang goes to study abroad in the West, all operations of the shipyard will be involved and will not affect the production of the shipyard. Even if Fang Ahang does not come back from the West, I am afraid it will not be easily affected.
Arrive at the shipyard.
Mu Linfeng immediately asked his servants to prepare enough silver, and after giving it to Fang Ahang, Fang Ahang said: "I, Mu Linfeng, personally sponsored you with all this money. The news about your study abroad in the West cannot be leaked, and I will give it to you."
In the name of a business trip, only you and I, and the people you want to take away, know about this!"
Although Fang Jiahang didn't understand why Mu Linfeng kept his overseas study a secret, it was his long-cherished dream to go to the West to study and learn Western shipbuilding techniques. He couldn't care less about it, so he immediately agreed.
After Mu Linfeng told Fang Jiahang that he should be careful and put his studies first when studying in the West, he personally escorted Fang Jiahang out of the Mu Mansion and asked him to leave within the same day. As for the ship to the West, Mu Linfeng said
Get ready for Fang Ahang.
Mu Linfeng's original intention of doing this was simply because he was worried that once Fang Ahang went abroad, he would no longer be under his control. He just hoped that Fang Ahang could understand his good intentions, know how to repay his kindness, and continue to work for Mu Linfeng when he comes back in the future.
.
Mu Linfeng could see from Fang Jiahang's grateful eyes that at least Fang Jiahang was loyal to him at this moment. However, people's hearts were open to doubts and things were unpredictable. No one could predict whether Fang Jiahang would still be thinking about this two years later.
Therefore, we had to make all preparations to prevent Fang Ahang from defecting if Fang Ahang did not defect.
Only then did Mu Linfeng realize that he didn't know when he started to trust no one anymore. Maybe this was the trouble of the superiors.
After sending Fang Jiahang away, Mu Linfeng immediately sent people to Shanghai to find Nan Huairen, and asked Nan Huairen to find a foreign ship for him to return to China, so that Fang Jiahang and several other apprentice authors could return to China and sail to the West.
The next day, Fang Jiahang led Zhang Xilin and several other apprentices to the palace to bid farewell to Mu Linfeng. After Mu Linfeng repeatedly told them to be careful, he personally escorted them out of Nanjing City and watched them get on the bus to Shanghai.
carriage.
Fang Jiahang, Zhang Xilin and others were naturally grateful to Mu Linfeng and bid farewell to Mu Linfeng with tears on their faces. In order to keep Zhang Xilin's heart, Mu Linfeng specially invited his father Zhang San to see him off.
Zhang San has always been favored by Mu Linfeng, and naturally kept telling Zhang Xilin to drink water and remember the source, and to repay the kindness. Zhang Xilin naturally did not dare to disobey his father's words, and kept saying yes, and kowtowed to Mu Linfeng a few times,
Then he left Nanjing with everyone.
After Fang Jiahang and others left, Mu Linfeng was able to put his mind to rest. Now he was focused on the tasks assigned to Kong Wu and the battle on the front line.
However, Wang Zhizhen and others also followed their instructions and did not report any battle information to Mu Linfeng. However, Mu Linfeng could also see from their faces and eyes that the battle on the front line should go smoothly. If anything happens, Wang Zhizhen and others will
Even if you don't repay yourself as promised, you will definitely not show it on your face at all.
Two days later, a servant came to report that Chen Zilong asked for an audience. Mu Linfeng immediately summoned Chen Zilong. Now Chen Zilong is the director of the Agricultural Affairs Department. After solving the agricultural reform in the four counties of northern Jiangsu, he came to Jinling to take up the post.
Mu Linfeng specially held a banquet for Chen Zilong to wash away the dust. When he saw Chen Zilong, Mu Linfeng was not surprised or surprised. However, when he saw Chen Zilong, he immediately thought of Liu Rushi. Then he thought that after parting from Yangzhou, Mu Linfeng also
I haven't seen Liu Rushi for a long time.
Four of Qinhuai's Eight Beauties are currently under his own weight, and four more have not yet been taken for their own use. Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun should have followed Li Fangyi to Nanjing at this moment, but they have been busy with work and had another trip to Fujian some time ago.
There was an unexpected incident and I never had time to go take a look.
There are also Ma Xianglan and Dong Xiaowan. They should have known about Wang Zhideng's death by now, especially Ma Xianglan. I don't know what she would think. Dong Xiaowan has been living with Wang Xuyuan in Wang Zhizhen's villa and has never had time to go there after returning from Fujian.
Look, I don’t know how it is now.
Mu Linfeng had seen all the eight beauties of Qinhuai, but so far he had only accepted them, which was a great regret in his heart. He thought to himself, waiting for the three southeastern provinces to be confirmed, it seems that he needs to put more effort into women.
Seeing the sadness on Mu Linfeng's face, Chen Zilong said that Mu Linfeng was worried about the war on the front line. How could he know that Mu Linfeng was plotting against his sweetheart? He quickly persuaded Mu Linfeng to drink. After a few glasses of wine, he immediately reported to Mu Linfeng.
Let’s take a look at the achievements of agricultural reform in the four counties of northern Jiangsu, as well as some ideas for the entire Jiangnan after taking office in Nanjing.
Mu Linfeng was not in the mood to listen to what Chen Zilong said at this moment. He just nodded and said to Chen Zilong from time to time, "Brother Zilong is doing things, and Mu always feels at ease and does it well."
