marquis of jingan

Chapter 468
After two busy months, the arsenal Shen Yi envisioned basically took shape, especially the firearms workshop progressed very smoothly.

Because these craftsmen are all craftsmen who specialize in making firearms in the Bingzhan Bureau. For firearms manufacturing, they are experts who have come out of practice.

Shen Yi doesn't need to teach them how to make firearms, he just needs to tell them how to make firearms, and the master craftsmen among these craftsmen can draw the corresponding blueprints for Shen Yi. Firearms craftsmen learn while communicating with them.

Up to now, the first batch of cannons cast by these craftsmen have been made.

Although the warship has not yet been launched, the artillery has not been assembled on the ship, and there is no way to test the specific combat effectiveness, but because it has already been built, Shen Yi started to arrange, so that some of these anti-Japanese army officers and soldiers will train how to operate the artillery .

As for how to train sea combat in the future, it still needs a long process of exploration, so there is no rush.

The next day, Shen Yi returned to his residence in Yueqing to rest after arranging the artillery training for these anti-Japanese soldiers.

This residence is a small house arranged for him by Yueqing County Magistrate Zhong. Although it is not very big, it is exquisite and clean. It is a good residence.

Not long after Shen Yi returned to his residence, when he was resting on the bed, there was a knock on the door, followed by Jiang Sheng's voice: "My lord, someone outside wants to see you, it seems to be the prefect of Wenzhou ..."

Shen Yi's sleep is relatively light, and basically any noise will wake him up. After hearing Jiang Sheng's words, he rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, and after a while, he stretched. Walking to the door and opening the door, frowning slightly, he said to himself: "What is he here for?"

After Shen Yi focused his work on Yueqing, he seldom dealt with the Wenzhou prefect. However, the prefect Jiang was of a higher rank. Now that he was here, Shen Yi still wanted to see him.

Ever since, Shen Yi went back to the house and put on a thicker coat, and then said: "Come on, I'll go see you, my family."

Jiang Sheng has been with Shen Yi for more than two months. Knowing Shen Yi's temper, he nodded quickly when he heard the words, and led Shen Yi to the living room of this house.

In the living room, Wenzhou prefect Jiang Youde and Yueqing county magistrate Zhong Ping were both there.

It is worth mentioning that none of the officials of Wenzhou Prefecture, that is, the assistant officials such as Tongsan Tongzhi, were present. Only the prefect Jiang was present, accompanied by County Magistrate Zhong.

After meeting Jiang Zhifu, Shen Yi stepped forward, slightly bowed his head and cupped his hands and said, "Jiangfu Zun."

"Master Zhong County."

Prefect Jiang and County Magistrate Zhong both stood up and bowed their hands to return the salute. Master Jiang smiled and said: "I heard that my brother is sleeping, so I came to the door for my brother and disturbed my rest."

Shen Yi shook his head, sat on the main seat, and smiled a little weakly: "It's okay, but I'm a little sleepy. Come back and take a nap, and I'm full by now."

After saying this, he looked at the magistrate Jiang and asked, "Master Jiang is not working in Yongjia, why did he come to Yueqing?"

Jiang Zhifu lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then coughed, looked at Shen Yi, and said: "Brother Wei just received the news from the province that tomorrow the master of Fantai will come to Yueqing for inspection, so brother Yu rushed over a day earlier. "

Hearing this, Shen Yi stopped drinking tea in mid-air, then put the tea on the table, and looked at the prefect Jiang: "My lord from the province, didn't you come here a while ago, why are you coming again?"

Fantai is the chief envoy of Zhejiang.

Today's Zhejiang chief envoy is named Qian and Qing.

The governor's surname is Zhou Mingshan.

Shen Yi has seen all the officials in these two provinces.

To be exact, not long after Li Mu arrived in Zhejiang, the two officials of the frontier came to see Li Mu, and communicated with Li Mu about the anti-Japanese war, and part of the food for the anti-Japanese army was also supplied by the provincial government.

Later, when Li Mu was injured and recuperated in Yongjia, the governor of Zhejiang and the chief envoy of Zhejiang came again to visit Li Mu's injury in Yongjia.

However, the reason why these two great officials in frontiers are so enthusiastic is because Li Mu is an imperial envoy on the one hand, and the more important reason is because Li Mu is the son of King Jin and the cousin of His Majesty the Emperor. Things, they also have to follow the responsibility.

That is to say, Shen Yi has seen them twice before and after.

And now, Li Mu has left the territory of Zhejiang, and went south to Fujian and Guangdong to patrol the sea...

With Li Mu already gone, the officials from the province came again...

Even if it's just the chief envoy coming alone, it's somewhat weird.

Jiang Zhifu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Your brother and the imperial envoy have been suppressing bandits in Zhejiang during this time. Warships and firearms, so Lord Fantai came to take a look on behalf of the province."

When Shen Yi heard this, he just bowed his head silently and didn't speak.

The chief envoy of a province is already a senior official of the second rank, a serious official of the frontier.

The governor is in charge of the military administration of a province, while the chief minister is in charge of the government affairs of a province. From this perspective, the chief minister is actually the chief constitution of the Zhejiang provincial government and the governor of a province.

If an official of this level wants to come to Yueqing, Shen Yi not only has no way to stop him, but he has to go to meet him with Jiang Youde.

Ever since, Shen Yi could only show a smile to Jiang Zhifu, and said: "Master Fantai is concerned about the great cause of suppressing the Japanese, and my younger brother is naturally very happy. I don't know when Master Fantai will arrive in Yueqing tomorrow. I will go with the governor Welcome to Fantai."

"The letter from the province said that we will arrive early tomorrow morning."

Jiang Zhifu smiled and said: "Master Fantai came to Yueqing this time, mainly to see if there is any need for help here. If you need anything, you don't need to send a letter from the Ministry of War. Tomorrow directly Just explain it to Lord Fantai."

Shen Yi nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Thank you for your advice, my younger brother understands."

After saying this, Shen Yi said a few more polite words to Jiang Zhifu, and then Jiang Zhifu left.

Before leaving, Jiang Zhifu specifically explained that Qian Fantai was going to inspect the dock tomorrow to see the warship built by Shen Yi.

Shen Yi responded calmly, without saying anything.

After sending off the magistrate Jiang, Shen Yi's sleepiness disappeared.

He walked into his study room, while grinding ink, while thinking about the purpose of this Fantai lord.

After pondering for a while, Shen Yi picked up the brush and filled it with ink, and began to write a letter.

The first letter was naturally addressed to Li Mu, after all, the son of King Jin is the person in charge of patrolling the sea.

The second letter was written to Jiankang.

Shen Yi needs to know if there is any change in Jiankang, so as to know that this Qian Fantai came to visit suddenly...

Is there no deep meaning.
