It wasn't until the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month that Yang Heng and Wu You's ship docked at Guangzhou Port. They had changed to two large ships at Ling O'clock Reading, and there were more than 200 people on board the navy directly under the name of Wang Ziteng. They were in Guangzhou

There are also campsites.

Wu You came over to meet the brothers, and they almost didn't recognize him. He looked like a different person than when he was in Lixiangyuan. He was black and strong, and he raised his hands and feet with murderous intent. Everyone laughed and said, "You have an official."

So awesome!" Looking at Yang Heng again, he could no longer find the gangster air, and his face was much tougher. Yang An, the little brat, had grown a lot taller, with dark skin and sharp eyes. It was obvious that he had seen blood.

.The boy was still young at this time, pretending to be an adult with a sullen face, and refused to act coquettishly no matter how much he was teased. So everyone sat around and listened to them talk about what happened at sea in the past three years.

Their first ship and the dozens of people on board were all sent by water. At that time, Yang Heng and Wu You were not familiar with the sea, so they learned from their subordinates honestly. Wu You was literate and studied, and he explained on the first day on the ship, "

Those who follow Mr. Cong of Rongguo Mansion are not allowed to be blind, and they must all be able to read."

Yang Heng was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know the words either!"

Wu You said: "You also learn from it, and so does An'er."

Yang Heng said happily: "An'er also wants to learn? Can we invite a gentleman on board?"

Wu You pointed at his nose and said, "What do you think I am here for? Teaching is my job, okay?"

Yang Heng quickly raised his hands and called him "Mr. Wu!"

Wu You waved his hand and said, "There's no need to call me sir, I'm not just teaching."

The old sailors on the ship all came from poor backgrounds and had never thought about literacy. They were all pleasantly surprised. Before Wu You could use many of his tricks, he conquered everyone just by "recognizing literacy".

Later, they surrendered a Western cargo ship and returned the original ship to the water. The space was larger, so they could recruit more people. The sailors called all the sailors who had brothers and older sons to come - because there was a lot of military pay on this ship.

, and teach you how to read! As soon as the news spread, many good sailors wanted to jump on the ship. Wu and Yang except that they couldn't dig into Huo Sheng's water-soluble corners, others didn't mind, and just picked up the good ones. Wu You

He also followed the method taught by Jia Cong, training and teaching at the same time. Therefore, although it took only three years to accumulate more than 200 people, they were all excellent.

Jia Cong took Wu You aside quietly and asked, "Hey, do you know that princess? She is the granddaughter of Prince Yizhong."

Wu You was stunned: "The one raised by General Bai? I don't know her. Don't you want to get married to her?"

Jia Cong hummed, "If you think about it carefully, do you really think you don't know me?"

Wu Youqi said: "Where can I meet people? I can't hit them with eight poles."

Jia Cong pouted: "Okay, I have no problem." Wu You was confused.

On the second day when Wu You and Yang Heng came to Guangzhou, Jia Cong invited all the brothers from Lixiangyuan and his father and sister together. More than twenty people crowded into the room. Although several girls were raised in purdah in the past, they had to take care of themselves.

At that time, Longshan didn't care about any taboos and felt quite comfortable.

Jia Cong looked around and said: "We are going to Taiwan after the new year. It is much poorer than Guangzhou, and there is a lot of waste waiting to be done. The people here are the ones doing the work. The mountains and rivers are vast, and heroes have emerged in large numbers. At most, we can still be together.

Just a seed, others have grown into big trees. Therefore, others are advanced and we are backward. It is so difficult to achieve great things. Let me say one thing first. What we lack most here is talents. No matter what kind of talents, as long as

If you have talents, you must use them. My sisters are all talents, and their efforts must be used to build Taiwan. In the future, you may find that the other women are also talents, and they will be used in the same way. Who uses secular nonsense?

If you want to kick out a capable woman for a reason, I will kick her out."

Wu Youxian smiled and said: "My Xiaoxi is also a girl. If you want to kick girls out, you must first force them."

Jia Cong said: "No. There is no such thing as strong or not, only suitable or not. The strongest may not be the most suitable."

Yao'er nodded: "That's right, it's not a war."

Everyone had no objections to their expressions. Jia She seemed too lazy to care. Only a hint of disapproval flashed in Jia Lian's eyes. After all, Jia Lian's abilities were ordinary. Jia Cong ignored him and said: "The first few people are in charge of construction.

Those in charge of the workshop, those in charge of money, those in charge of arranging manpower, and those in charge of regulations.”

Wu Xiaoxi smiled and said crisply: "Business Department, Household Department, Officials Department, Punishment Department."

Jia Cong also laughed: "The Ministry of Engineering will be divided into two parts. Construction and workshops are the most important at the moment, and one person can't handle it. How about leaving the construction work to Sister Lin?"

Lin Daiyu was the enlightenment teacher of this group of people, who would say no? Everyone nodded.

Jia Lian hurriedly said: "How can we build a girl's house for her?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Of course there are more than 20 of us here, but she is the only one who knows how to create."

Yao'er also said: "Miss Lin has been studying construction for many years. Although she is not as good as everyone in construction, she is still an expert."

Seeing that Jia Lian wanted to speak, Jia Cong said first, "There is only one thing I want to remind Sister Lin."

Lin Daiyu had known that she had her own job, and at first she thought it would be settling accounts in the house, or working with him as a staff member, but she never thought of letting her do construction work. She was a little panicked, and when she heard this, she hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?"

"

Jia Cong sighed: "Sister Lin is very careful and has studied the mechanism for so long. Your own home has been so grand and exquisite. It is the Shangshu Mansion, so it is naturally more elegant and knowledgeable. But we are here.

What Huizi wants to build is a province. This province is currently quite barren and has nothing. In the next few years, the world will be in chaos. In order to protect ourselves, we must build it into a prosperous and strong iron wall. Therefore, what is exquisite and beautiful,

None of them are as practical as they are. We don’t have time to carve out beautiful features at the moment, so we just need to be simple and solid. I hope my sister can complete a few important projects as soon as possible, otherwise things will be difficult to continue, so everyone will help you first."

Lin Daiyu was solemn, sat upright unconsciously, and asked: "What important project?"

Jia Cong said: "Cement workshops, roads, seaports, academies, and provincial capitals."

Daiyu was startled.

"The first one on the list is the cement workshop. Because cement is very easy to use, you can get twice the result with half the effort. The roads are impassable and communication is inconvenient. Since it is a big island, the seaport is the most important." He spread out a map of Taiwan and pointed out.

Referring to the Kaohsiung Port Road in later generations, "This place belongs to Fengshan County and is an excellent natural port." He then pointed to Taichung and said, "This place is called Nantun. It is also a good port and the land is fertile, which can be used for agricultural development."

Referring to Keelung again, "There are mountains here that look like chicken coops, hence the name Keelung. The best ports in Taiwan are these three, but there is nothing there right now."

Jia Lian was stunned: "How did you know?"

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Can't I just ask the imperial court for Taiwan Palace without knowing anything?"

Jia Lian asked: "What if the court orders me to go to Qiongzhou?"

Jia Cong said: "I also have a map of Qiongzhou, but I didn't check it in detail. Since Uncle Wang is in Guangdong and Guangxi, the saint will never send his second brother to Qiongzhou. He is suspicious by nature and will think more about anything no matter what he does. If you are in Qiongzhou

, it is easy to deceive him along with Uncle Wang."

Jia She said: "Lian'er, don't ask so many things. If you want to know, it's not too late to ask later. We have a room full of people at this moment."

Jia Lianfang was speechless.

Jia Cong smiled at Jia She, then pointed to Tainan and said: "This is the Chikan Tower. The second brother's prefect's office is here. However, there is another place that is also very suitable for the provincial capital." He pointed to Taipei.

He said, "This is Dajiala in Zhuluo County, and it can be a big city in the future. Sister Lin, in addition to the ones in the front, this Dajiala is also extremely important."

Lin Daiyu suddenly became a little confused: "...this...so many events are important, I don't know where to start."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "There is no hurry. The days are long. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

Xichun said: "Sister, if you don't mind it, I will help you!"

Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "Okay, I just think Sister Lin is too polite."

Xichun glared at him and said, "Am I not polite?"

Jia Cong asked curiously: "Don't the fourth sister want to be a shrew?"

Tanchun Daiyu laughed together.

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "That's all, if you don't admit it, then just admit it. Anyway, the construction work belongs to you two, and it is called the Ministry of Construction."

Daiyu said sadly: "Although I have studied construction by myself for several years, how can I do this? That's all, give me a map and I will figure it out."

As expected, Jia Cong rolled up the map and handed it to her. Then he looked at Tanchun and said, "The money matters belong to the third sister. How about the Ministry of Finance?"

Tanchun stood up and Wanfu said, "I have lived up to my lord's trust." She had always had great ambition, but it was confined to her boudoir and had nowhere to display it. Now that she had received such a great responsibility, she didn't even think about shirking it, and just came over directly.

Jia Cong chuckled: "Gong Kun was originally in charge of this matter. In the past few years, he has been busy with sea goods, so he has temporarily handed it over to Xiaoxi. Now Xiaoxi has other uses."

He handed the money to his sister, and of course no one had any objections. Jia Lian deliberately said, "It's better to give it to your second sister-in-law." Then he thought, who cares about the two children? So he shut up. Anyway, it was better than giving it to someone with a foreign surname.

Jia Congnai looked at Tian Gengzi and said, "Brother Gengzi, could you please set up a supervision department to specifically supervise our internal illegal activities."

Wu You said hurriedly: "We brothers are all brave and heroic, so why do we need supervision?"

Jia Cong said: "Now we only have about twenty people, so of course we don't need it. One day we will have two hundred, two thousand, twenty thousand officials of different sizes, how can we not supervise them? Isn't that the same as today's Situ?

Is everything the same in the world? I have always been in favor of high salaries to support integrity. That is, officials must be capable and do practical things. It is okay to give them more salary, but they are never allowed to take bribes and bend the law." He looked around and looked stern. "Sit down.

I can trust these people in this room. However, twenty years from now, can your relatives, friends, and subordinates ensure that all of them are clean? All dynasties have been bad from this point on.

Put this matter at the forefront. Those with the authority of the Supervision Department are responsible for breaking the law, ranging from the emperor to the petty officials."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked and looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

Liu Feng suddenly asked: "What about ordinary people breaking the law?"

Jia Cong pointed at Jia Lian: "It is under the control of Mr. Jia Lian, the prefect of Taiwan."

Jia Lian couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Liu Feng is currently in charge of dispatching manpower to various places. You have the ability to know people and make good use of them, Human Resources Department."

Liu Feng nodded.

"In addition to cement workshops, there are also shipbuilding workshops and agricultural tool workshops. They are all important. Shen He, you can take care of it first. Let's call it the Ministry of Industry."

Shen He responded. Wu Xiaoxi said: "Why not call the Ministry of Industry?"

Jia Cong said: "I'm afraid I'm confused with the Ministry of Industry of the Situ family." Everyone looked at each other and laughed without saying a word. Jia Cong looked at Wu Xiaoxi again, "There is also a Ministry of Military Industry, and there will be some armor workshops in the future. , fire, gun workshop, artillery workshop. But we can’t do it right now, so we have to buy it. This Ministry of Military Industry belongs to you.”
