After cleaning up the corrupt officials from aristocratic families in Jingzhou, Li Mingda's pocket suddenly swelled to more than 400,000 yuan.

The cost of building a new warship is about 4,000 yuan. With 100 ships, if he builds 30 ships in a year, it will be enough for him to spend three years.

This is still ready-made gold and silver, not to mention other shops.

What's more important is that when cleaning up these people's properties, 10 large and small shipyards were confiscated, with more than 300 shipbuilding craftsmen and apprentices, and more than 5,000 hidden registered residents. Some of them were oppressed by these aristocratic families for several years.

Today, the miserable life is the same as that of the hard laborers who were trafficked to the coal mines.

Some of these people don't even know what age they are now. They are in tatters and hungry, and they are no longer living like human beings.

That tragic

Naturally, Li Mingda didn't give them a good end for these guys who didn't treat people as human beings. He pulled them down in the middle of Jingzhou City and executed them in front of the whole city.

It was none other than Qingfeng who made Lingchi's attack. Qingfeng's appearance was the comment of Qingchengqingguo when Li Mingda designed it. You can think about it, the beautiful lady Qingchengqingguo took a knife to kill this group of scum Lingchi. That scene

....

Therefore, Qingfeng has a bad reputation, and those aristocratic families are much more afraid of her than Li Mingda, who is far away.

After relocating the poor people, Qingfeng took the shipwrights to the Nanjing shipyard and classified the people.

The master shipbuilders were given excellent treatment, and then they were individually trained to learn the internal structure and construction methods of new ships.

Apprentices are people who learn how to make ship planks, connect individual parts, and do some chores.

Confidentiality is still the most important thing, and there is no rush in terms of progress.

During their study period, they had to screen the personnel and remove some unclean people. Although he had issued a decree not to allow imitation, Li Mingda still knew the thoughts of these profiteers from aristocratic families, and they would definitely change the law.

Gotta get it.

In the Nanjing shipyard, the ten shipbuilding slots built previously were still not enough, so a new round of construction work began.

The construction site was crowded with people, digging foundations and transporting soil. Chai Lingwu, who had escaped from the disaster early by a fluke, rarely went out for a walk, and looked at the shipyard as if he was working seriously.

Chai Lingwu stood at the highest point of the shipyard, accompanied by several guards, pointing at the construction site.

Cai Mao, who had been supervising construction at the shipyard, looked at Chai Lingwu's serious look and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Why does this guy keep coming here recently? He usually goes to that city to eat, drink and have fun.

Pang Tong was more concerned about Chai Lingwu's abnormal behavior and walked up to say hello: "Good morning, Duke Qiao."

Chai Lingwu's eyes twitched when he saw Pang Tong. To be honest, Chai Lingwu felt that the ugliest person he had ever seen in his life was Pang Tong. He suppressed his inner discomfort and said hello: "Good morning, Supervisor Pang."

Pang Tong: "Why is Duke Qiao free to come to the shipyard today?"

Chai Lingwu: "Is this why your Majesty sent us here soon? It's our job."

"Oh, that's it." Pang Tong looked at the guards around Chai Lingwu and looked them up and down: "This place is in a mess, why don't you ask Duke Qiao to come with me to the camp?"

Chai Lingwu was stunned, and although his expression was not very natural, he nodded: "Then I'll excuse you."

Pang Tong stretched out his hand: "Please"

Chai Lingwu: "Together, together"

The two then left with their own bodyguards and entourage.

After Chai Lingwu and Wu left, Cai Mao inspected the shipyard and then went to the headquarters of the East China Sea Fleet.

The East China Sea Fleet was originally trained by Cai Mao. After Gan Ning arrived, he took over. Cai Mao's main work shifted his focus to the shipyard.

Zhang Fei is not here. He was taken by Qingfeng to work as a coolie, and the defense of Jingzhou was entrusted to him.

After seeing Qingfeng's Lingchi's knife skills, Zhang Fei said that he would never eat fried meat in his life, and his colleagues also obeyed Qingfeng's words and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

He could only drink two taels of wine a day, and he would be beaten if he drank too much. Zhang Fei didn't know what was wrong. He found that he seemed to be a little unable to beat Qingfeng.

You can't break it with arm wrestling, and you can't do it with alcohol. Let's fight. It seems that Qingfeng's knife skills are very good. Every time he thinks about those meat slices, he doesn't want to compete with Qingfeng.

Jingzhou City had just cleared out all the corrupt officials, and the remaining scoundrels did not dare to cause trouble. The work of arresting the bandits was left to the Jin Yiwei, making Zhang Fei's patrol work much easier.

It was a simple inspection every day, and Zhang Fei was free. He grabbed his Zhangba spear and performed the self-made Overlord Poke. When he was done, he washed away the sweat on his body, and then started his personal hobbies.

Painting~!

Zhang Fei’s favorite painting is the painting of a lady.

Spread out the roll paper, take out the brush, prepare various paints, put the person in your memory together, pick up the brush and start painting.

The brush strokes on the scroll paper were like dragons and phoenixes dancing, and soon the outline of a young girl appeared on the scroll.

Zhang Fei dipped in colorful paint and applied it to various parts of the body. A vivid little girl was completed under Zhang Fei's pen.

After finishing the work, Zhang Fei picked up the scroll with great satisfaction and began to appreciate it.

With jet black hair and black eyes, he seemed to be able to speak. His small face had a hint of blush, and he was wearing a samurai uniform and standing under a big tree.

On a wooden shelf under the tree were eighteen kinds of weapons, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks and forks. The little girl was holding a wide-blade spear in her hand.

There is a wisp of red tassel hanging under the tip of the spear, and there are traces of red spots on the tip of the spear. Under the spear, a wolf is lying on the ground.

Under the dark wolf's body was a red mass that looked like blood.

Beside the little girl's feet, a black and white bear was lying next to her, as if to flatter her.

Zhang Fei admired it with satisfaction for a long time, then put down the portrait and picked up a pen to write on one side of the portrait: The story of the beloved daughter Yingying butchering the wolf!

After finishing writing, Zhang Fei hung it in his study room and looked at it a few more times: "Daughter, you were not very old when I left. It's all your fault that Dad made trouble by drinking. Otherwise,

It’s not like it’s been so long since I’ve watched you grow up with my own eyes.”

"Your mother beat me to it back then, and then she followed me without saying anything. Back then~!"

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, we think the most right thing to do in this life is to take your mother home."

""Hey hey hey"

The laughter that erupted from Zhang Fei's study made the guards guarding the door feel as if a wild beast was grinding its teeth there, which was a bit penetrating.

Zhang Fei came out, looked at his guards and asked them curiously: "What are you doing? You look like you have eaten rat shit."

The guards bowed their heads and said nothing. Zhang Fei returned to his study at night, looked at the portrait on the wall and thought about it, took it off, held it in his hand and went straight to the governor's mansion.
