Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

As Little Shuai spoke, he laughed with his hands on his hips.

This easy achievement was so satisfying that he could laugh about it in his dreams!

"Stop laughing for now. What happened after that? Tell me in detail," Lai Gou'er pressed.

Little Shuai calmed down a bit and continued, "After that, they arranged accommodation for us and sent people to show us around the royal city."

"The person accompanying us was a prince. While we were touring the royal city, he constantly tried to win us over with words, promising us benefits. To be honest, Sangjak's royal city is very well-constructed, and the people live and work in peace."

"Besides that, for those few days, they kept trying to instill in us the impression that the Great Jing was very cruel."

Lai Gou'er asked curiously, "What did they say?"

"Oh, nothing much, just that the people of Great Jing live in poverty, local officials are greedy and oppressive, and the upper classes are corrupt and enjoy themselves... They spoke as if they had evidence and gave examples. If I hadn't been there, I might have believed it," Little Shuai said, shaking his head with a smile.

Lai Gou'er stroked his chin and chuckled, "It sounds quite reasonable. It's not like Great Jing doesn't have these things..."

"Huh? I didn't see any of that?"

Lai Gou'er said, "You've only been in Great Jing for a short time. I've been there much longer. These problems exist in every country in the world. It's just a matter of degree. One and ninety-nine are both numbers, but the difference between them is huge."

"Although Great Jing has problems, it's much better than the Church."

Little Shuai was stunned and said, "So the examples they gave me about the greedy officials and the poor lives of the people in Great Jing were all true?"

"When I returned to the capital, Marquis Jianye took me to the newspaper office and said something to me," Lai Gou'er said calmly, "To portray individual cases as widespread phenomena is malicious, and to gloss over widespread phenomena as individual cases is to plot for power and harm lives."

"Obviously, Sangjak has ulterior motives towards you. Just listen to what they say. If three out of ten sentences are true, that's already pretty good. What happened after that? Continue."

Little Shuai nodded and said, "Although they wanted to cooperate with the Brotherhood, they didn't value it very much. After resting for a few days, seeing that we were in pretty good shape, they sent people to escort me out of the Church's territory."

"When we left, they even assigned two people to accompany us. Now Da Zhuang and the others are leading those two people around the city. That's all. What should I do next?"

Lai Gou'er pondered and said, "Cooperate with them for now. Send me important news in a timely manner. I need to send the news back to Great Jing immediately to prepare."

As he spoke, he smiled wickedly, "It's like searching high and low without finding something, and then getting it without any effort. It would have been fine if he hadn't provoked us, but if he dares to make a move, we will definitely... give him a head-on blow!"

......

If we were to say what Fang Zheng Yi was most concerned about recently, it would be the production of ironclad ships.

The research and development cycle of ships is so long, even with the steam engine and train research and development team.

And the subsequent training of students, coupled with a continuous stream of funding, still took several years.

It can be said that the importance of this project in this era is equivalent to the aircraft carrier of later generations.

Although the technical content is not comparable.

The manufacturing and research project of ironclad ships was extremely low-key. Almost a year passed from the start of the project before the entire court knew about such a project.

However, this was also intentional by Fang Zheng Yi and the Ministry of War.

In terms of shocking the world, this thing is no less than a train.

Although everyone can understand that a copper basin floats on water, if you say that a ship-shaped iron lump dozens of meters long is placed on the turbulent sea and can still control its direction and sail, it is really a fantasy.

Even those who have seen trains and steam engines think it's a fantasy.

In order to reduce some unnecessary promotion resistance, it is best to keep a low profile as much as possible.

At dusk, Fang Zheng Yi was lying in the courtyard of the Princess's mansion, enjoying the cool air.

He held a piece of news in his hand, with a happy look on his face.

This was the news from Yuding City that the ironclad ship built by the shipyard in Yuding City would arrive at Jiangling Port in a few days, ready for review by the imperial court.

The size of the ironclad ship built this time is several meters longer than the largest warship of the imperial court.

Finally, it can be presented to the court, which also shows that the verification is correct and it is a finished product.

Once this ironclad ship is released, Great Jing will inevitably run rampant at sea and become a maritime hegemon in the future.

Coupled with the promotion of the industrial revolution, as long as the emperor does not court death and strives to give play to his creativity, it should be a period of rapid rise within a few decades.

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng Yi was particularly excited.

Such a historic moment should be taken to show the children!

This little brat has grown into a young man in a blink of an eye and is in the rebellious period.

He doesn't like to listen to anything, he can't listen to anything!

His father, such a top-notch awesome person, is in front of him, but he has to envy some folk actors and college scientists!

Simply hopeless!

Fang Zheng Yi threw the news in his hand and shouted, "Chen Yu! Fang Chen Yu! Come here!"

After shouting twice, there was no response.

Zhang Biao quietly窜 came over from the outer courtyard and stood in front of Fang Zheng Yi and said, "The young master is not here. I heard my son say that he went outside to find Cat Egg. They went together."

Fang Zheng Yi kept sucking his teeth.

This little brat! He got together with that country bumpkin, Cat Egg.

When he was in elementary school, he would often ingratiate himself with her and even take her to the elementary school cafeteria to eat.

Now that he has graduated, he still runs to her whenever he has nothing to do.

He became a simp at a young age!

"Go! Find them back for me. I have important things to tell him!"

.....

On the small road, Fang Chen Yu led Zhang Xiao Biao through it.

Fang Chen Yu was carrying snacks in his hand, and Zhang Xiao Biao was holding a sugarcane in his hand, walking and chewing.

"I said, Brother Fang, why do you keep looking for her every day? It's so far away, it's annoying. I want to go home and eat."

"All you know is eating! Cat Egg's family conditions are not good. I heard that she is going to a girls' school next month. I'll give her something to eat."

"What does going to a girls' school have to do with sending food? Do you have a crush on her? Just say it straight. I haven't seen you so indecisive when doing things."

In the darkness, Fang Chen Yu's face was slightly red: "I have a crush on her? She's dark, thin, and ugly. I'm compensating her. What do you know?"

"Hehe, I think if you continue to compensate her like this in the future, you will have to compensate her in the quilt."

"Shut up!"

While speaking, the two rushed out of the small road and came to a row of houses nearby.

Cat Egg's house is here. The small house here was originally bought with Fang Zheng Yi's help.

Fang Chen Yu walked towards Cat Egg's house skillfully. Just after taking two steps, he suddenly stopped and quickly hid in a nearby alley.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiao Biao also followed suit. The two of them leaned against the wall at the same time, revealing half of their heads.

Fang Chen Yu stared at the two figures in front of him.

The other party's voice was clearly audible...
