After staying in the dock for more than half an hour, Shen Yi accompanied Qian Fantai to leave. At this time, Mr. Shen was no longer as arrogant as he was at the beginning, and he was calling himself a subordinate one by one.
After all, he now has a "handle" and is in the hands of Qian Qing.
After sending Qian Fantai away, Shen Yi did not follow Qian Qing. Instead, he returned to the dock and took a look at the big ship with only a keel.
Mr. Shen looked at the big ship and frowned: "I haven't arrived in a few days. Why is the ship progressing so slowly?"
A middle-aged craftsman came over, stood behind Shen Yi, and looked at the big ship with Shen Yi. He lowered his head slightly and said: "Master Shen, my brothers said that this batch of aniseed is enough for three ships.
The keel, because there is enough material, so the brothers have been working on the keel of the third ship these days, and this ship has not been touched much."
When Shen Yi heard this, his brows relaxed.
Yes, the ship he showed Qian Fantai was not the first ship to fight against the Japanese, but the second ship.
Although the first ship has not been completed yet, it is already in the stage of laying the deck, and it is only a matter of time before it is launched into the water.
The ship in front of me is actually the second ship to fight against the Japanese, and there is a third ship under construction at the same time.
Master Shen silently glanced at the middle-aged craftsman next to him.
This man is a master craftsman among the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry. His surname is Xie and his given name is Xie Qing. He is also the talker of the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.
Now the person in charge of the Anti-Japanese War Shipyard.
Shen Yi basically interacts with him.
Mr. Shen said slowly: "After building three ships, don't build a fourth one."
"The fourth ship, I hope, is better."
Shipbuilding in this era simply cannot iterate as quickly as it did in another era. Because of the lack of basic science, there is naturally no application.
Without the development of science, it is impossible for these craftsmen to build any powerful warships in a short period of time. What Shen Yi said by "better" means that after the three ships were launched, the anti-Japanese army officers and soldiers were put on board.
After the ship has been trained for a period of time, a warship more suitable for fighting against the Japanese will be designed.
After staying in the dock for half an hour and confirming that there were no problems that he needed to solve, Shen Yi left the dock and rushed back to Yueqing.
It was now approaching evening. Jiang Youde, the prefect of Wenzhou, held a banquet in Yueqing County to entertain Qian Fantai from the province, and also invited Shen Yi.
Shen Yi was not very good at disgracing the prefect of Chiang Kai-shek and the feudal lords, so he could only accompany these Zhejiang officials to have a meal together. Because he was dining with the leaders, he inevitably drank some wine at the dinner table, waiting for Shen Yi to return to his home.
By the time we arrived at the residence, I was already 40 to 50 minutes drunk.
It was already late autumn and early winter. Shen Yi poured himself a basin of cold water and washed his face. He immediately sobered up a lot. He walked to his study room, sat alone on his chair, and was lost in thought for a while.
Now, he still doesn't know why this Zhejiang chief envoy suddenly came to Yueqing.
However, although he didn't know Qian Qing's purpose, Shen Yi treated him as an "enemy".
Because he suspected that Qian Fantai was here to find out the reality of the anti-Japanese army on behalf of some people in the court.
Although as a second-rank official of Qian Qing, it is unlikely that he is a lackey of some people in the court, it is entirely possible that he has reached some cooperation with some people in the court.
For example, Zhao Clan.
Just in the first half of this year, the Anti-Japanese Army was still an inconspicuous and somewhat playful local armed force. However, after several great victories and crazy recruitment, the number of the Anti-Japanese Army now has reached five.
Thousands of people.
In other words, the establishment provided by the imperial court is already full.
As long as the imperial court expands the anti-Japanese army into a capital, the anti-Japanese army will soon become a huge army of tens of thousands of people.
The emergence of this kind of army will undoubtedly pose a great threat to some people in the court.
Therefore, although Shen Yi did not know the specific purpose of Qian Fantai's visit, he still dealt with the Zhejiang Chief Envoy in the same way as he dealt with his enemies.

After sitting behind the desk for a while, Shen Yi suddenly knocked on the desk and said: "Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng."
Jiang Sheng, who was in the yard, immediately ran all the way to the door of Shen Yi's study, lowered his voice and said: "Master, the young one is here."
"You should go to the anti-Japanese army camp immediately to find Xue Wei."
"Tell him that in the future, it will be like today..."
Jiang Sheng didn't hesitate at all, he immediately lowered his head and said: "Young man, go right now."
He was about to turn around and leave when he was suddenly stopped by Shen Yi.
At this time, the door to the study room opened, and Shen Yi, who had already put on a heavy coat, stepped out. Master Shen was silent for a while, and then slowly shook his head: "That's all, you are the person around me, so don't go there now.
."
"I'll find someone else to deliver the message."
Shen Yi patted his shoulder and said softly: "Go and rest."
Jiang Sheng hesitated for a moment, lowered his head slightly and said, "Yes."
………………
A few days later, several letters from Yueqing were sent to Jiankang City.
Some of these letters were sent to Prime Minister Yang's Mansion, some to the Anping Marquis' Mansion, and more letters were sent to the Imperial City and delivered to the desk of Eunuch Gao, the Minister of Internal Affairs.
At this time, because winter has entered, most of the palaces in the palace have already lit stoves, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is no exception. After receiving these letters from Yueqing, Eunuch Gao hesitated for a moment, and then silently followed
He stood up from his position, looked at the eunuch in blue who was waiting on the side, and asked: "Where is your Majesty now?"
The eunuch in blue looked respectful, lowered his head and said: "Back to our ancestors, Your Majesty has just come out of the Queen's place, and should be returning to the Manlu Palace soon."
As the New Year approaches, the Queen's belly is getting bigger day by day, and the month of childbirth is approaching. Even His Majesty the Emperor, who was in an arranged marriage, is obsessed with his Queen. Basically, she will be born every three days.
Go to the Queen's Palace and take a look.
Even for this reason, His Majesty the Emperor has been out of the palace less often in the past month or so.
After Eunuch Gao nodded, he stood up and left the Ministry of Internal Affairs and walked towards the Manna Hall. Not long after, Eunuch Gao entered the Manna Hall and served the emperor.
When His Majesty the Emperor saw Gao Ming coming in, he raised his head and glanced at him.
"What happened again?"
"It's not a big deal."
Eunuch Gao put on a flattering, professional smile on his face, stood beside the emperor, and said: "The news from Wenzhou Prefecture is that Qian Qing, the chief envoy of Zhejiang Province, paid a visit a few days ago.
Yueqing, Wenzhou Prefecture, and asked Chief Shen to take him to see the anti-Japanese army camp and the dock where the anti-Japanese army built warships."
The emperor then raised his head and glanced at Gao Ming, thoughtfully: "Did Shen Yi report it?"
Gao Ming took out a few documents from his sleeves, lowered his head and said, "Not only Shen Yi, but also the internal guards of Wenzhou Prefecture and the Di newspaper department have sent news."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems reasonable and reasonable for Zhejiang Chief Envoy to go to Wenzhou. Should Shen Yi also report this kind of thing?"
Gao Ming smiled and said: "I have read Chief Shen's memorial. What he means is that the Chief Envoy of Zhejiang is a civilian official. He should not have come to inquire about the anti-Japanese army, and the anti-Japanese army is an imperial envoy."
The person in charge is overseen by the Ministry of War and has nothing to do with the local government."
"So he felt a little weird."
"I also feel a little strange."
His Majesty the Emperor glanced at the letters in front of him and did not open them. Instead, he said lazily: "Send the internal guards to check this Qian Qing."
Gao Ming immediately lowered his head and said, "I obey, my slave."
The emperor found the letter written by Shen Yi from a pile of letters, opened it and read it once, then threw it aside.
"It seems that Shen Qi is very careful in his errands and is careful in everything he does."
Eunuch Gao smiled and responded: "He is not an imperial envoy after all, so he should be careful when doing things."
"Um."
The emperor looked at Gao Ming and said calmly: "Look carefully here in Jiankang, don't let Shen Qi underestimate me."
