After coughing twice, Sheng Yuan reluctantly glanced at Xiao Chen.
"Please stop saying a few words. These ships were all proposed by Governor Xiao to be renovated. How can I do that?"
"As I get older, I feel inferior to the thinking and ideas of young people."
The drawings are shocking enough, but the warships built are even more impressive.
Just from the appearance, it looks more solid and solid overall, and various guard positions are set up in batches to make it easier to observe the enemy's situation.
This is something that a layman can see. As for the details, only insiders can understand it.
At this time, Xiao Chen strode over: "Sheng Duwei, you are indeed a veteran of decades. The transformation of these ships is simply earth-shattering!"
One insult and another compliment made Sheng Yuan feel a little embarrassed.
He has built so many ships in his life, but his true masterpiece is actually the result of modifications proposed by others.
"Director Xiao, you are the young genius. I am not worth mentioning in front of you."
This is definitely not a compliment, but admiration from the inside out.
He looked at the mighty ships on the sea: "I have been working day and night these days. A total of fifty-two warships have been modified. They will continue to be forged in the future. I wonder if they can meet the requirements?"
To be honest, fifty-two is still a bit unsatisfactory.
However, being able to repair so many ships in a short period of time shows that Sheng Yuan has indeed worked hard enough.
Xiao Chen smiled: "It doesn't matter if you come, a hundred ordinary ships can't match one excellent warship, that's enough."
He turned around and ordered: "Hong Luan, go get the money."
Ji Hongluan and a few boys carried a whole box of money.
Of course these are provided by Concubine Jing and others.
If you have money, you can travel all over the world, but if you don't have money, you can't move anywhere. This thing is indispensable.
It's just that she may have racked her brains and never thought that she had prepared so much money, and Xiao Chen would spend it all in the blink of an eye!
When I opened it, I saw that those banknotes almost blinded people.
Sheng Yuan swallowed, a little horrified, "So much money?" He looked at Xiao Chen: "I'm afraid it wasn't given by the imperial court!"
The idea of letting Xiao Chen bring thousands of people to wipe out the Japanese is already ridiculous enough. How could he be given so much money?
Xiao Chen didn't hide it either: "My own private property."
"Good guy, you not only train private soldiers, you also!"
Sheng Yuan was a little angry, but then he thought about it, if he didn't train troops and didn't have an industry, how could he deal with these Japanese people?
Although Xiao Chen did these things, his ultimate purpose was to defend the country's territory.
Glancing at the calm Wei Baian next to him, he probably knew everything.
Probably because he figured out Xiao Chen's selflessness and what Xiao Chen did for them Jiangdong, Wei Baian ignored all of this.
Rather than trusting and respecting the court, he now admires Xiao Chen even more.
He is more interested in maintaining the security of Jiangdong and making Jiangdong peaceful. The court ignored them for so many years and even sent thousands of people to deal with them.
But Xiao Chen was not stingy and risked being exposed to join hands with him to deal with the Japanese.
He can still tell clearly whether it is good or bad, heavy or light.
If Xiao Chen really wants to rebel, then do it!
If the emperor doesn't love his people as his own son, why should he get the support of these people?
He doesn't deserve it!
Sheng Yuan closed his mouth silently, and the thousands of words in his heart turned into a sigh at this moment.
"That's all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Over the years, Jiangdong has been asking for help, telling the Japanese people about the troubles they are experiencing."
"Since the Emperor doesn't care, he must not care about other things either."
This is somewhat personal.
Since the emperor they relied on didn't care about them, there was no need for the common people to lick their faces and rub them up.
Loyalty without distinction between right and wrong is called foolish loyalty!
"Sheng Duwei, since you are here, why not stay for a meal tonight."
"To be honest, after being here for a few days, I haven't experienced much of Jiangdong's special dishes."
This time, the Japanese will be in trouble. Even if there is no return, at least let yourself experience the customs and customs of Jiangdong before leaving.
Sheng Yuan did not refuse, and Wei Baian patted his chest smartly: "On the eve of life and death, it is time to be free and unrestrained, so that even if you really die, it will not be aggrieved."
"I will be the host for the banquet, and I will definitely arrange everything for you when the time comes!"
He raised his eyebrows at Xiao Chen meaningfully, giving people an ominous premonition.
The night is dark, and the restaurant is filled with red lanterns.
An elegant private room is filled with dishes for cooking.
This is a men's drinking bureau. Xiao Chen, Jin Chengzhong, and Sheng Yuan met at the door, and they went in together.
After being introduced to the private room, everyone sat down one after another.
Wei Baian picked up the wine glass and exchanged a few polite words at first, while praising Xiao Chen without leaving anyone else behind.
Even though he is usually a big-hearted person, in terms of human relations and sophistication, he is still quite good at it.
After several people exchanged cups, Wei Baian suddenly raised his cup and said loudly: "It's hard to predict whether life or death will come here, and you must have time to enjoy yourself in life!"
They then turned their heads and pointed their wine glasses at Xiao Chen: "Master Xiao, I know that your happiness may not be the same as ours, so I have specially prepared some special fun for you."
This guy was already half drunk when he spoke.
He drained the glass of wine in one gulp and clapped his hands.
The door was pushed open in an instant, and a group of women carrying various musical instruments came in, followed by graceful beauties with bare slender waists and busy veils.
The women who played the music each found a place to sit down, while the charming women with exposed waists landed in front of Xiao Chen and bowed respectfully to him: "See Governor Xiao."
Xiao Chen was stunned, and was suddenly awakened from his slight drunkenness. He glanced at Wei Baian blankly: "Is this the special surprise you mentioned?"
"That's natural. I've long heard that Governor Xiao is very obsessed with beauties."
"I spent my own money to invite all the girls from Ji Lefang."
"Anyway, we have to fight hard. You can just enjoy it as much as you want today. These are all yours alone!"
Xiao Chen almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
Thank you so much!
Although I do like beautiful women, if I have to endure seven or eight of them in one night, are I really not afraid that she will drain her energy and die?
Besides, if Ji Hongluan and Yu Luo knew about this, they would be jealous.
Although he loves beautiful women, it is impossible for him to do those ambiguous things with a strange woman whom he has just met.
Xiao Chen was about to refuse, but Wei Baian didn't give him a chance and waved his hand: "Don't be stunned, play music and dance, I am happy to serve Governor Xiao today, you will all be rewarded!"
Then he put his arms around Xiao Chen's neck: "Brother, drink!"
