Qingfeng Li nodded helplessly.
"Forget it, forget it, I already know about this!"
"Order the Seventh Legion to send more ships from Haizhou north to meet us. Make sure to protect Yu'er and... in short, just hope they return safely!"
"Yes, Peak Master!"
Aunt Hua smiled and bowed, then asked,
"Peak Master, Yangzhou's Wang Ziteng has sent a letter, asking for your instructions!"
"First, the imperial envoy sent by the court is Prince of Beijing, Shui Rong. How should we respond?"
"Furthermore, there is the current Imperial Envoy Jia Zheng, who intends to pay a visit to Lord Lin. Wang Ziteng specifically requests the Peak Master's instructions!"
Qingfeng Li thought for a moment before saying,
"Let Wang Ziteng adapt to the situation. Anyway, as long as I don't leak anything, you have to keep talking!"
After thinking for a moment, he said,
"After Shui Rong enters the capital, order the Seventh Legion to withdraw the troops stationed between Haizhou and Ludi by thirty miles!"
Aunt Hua bowed and accepted the order.
Qingfeng Li continued,
"As for Jia Zheng..."
After thinking for a while, Qingfeng Li said,
"Let's meet! Now that it's come to this, what else is there to say?"
Having said that, Qingfeng Li shook his head and turned around helplessly.
Just as he took a step, Aunt Hua called out again,
"Peak Master, I have one more thing for you to do."
Qingfeng Li paused and turned to look at Aunt Hua in confusion.
"Anything else?"
Aunt Hua looked a bit embarrassed, but still spoke,
"It's like this. Now the Xue family has been incorporated into the Oriental Chamber of Commerce. With the Xue family's business routes, the Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly in the Jiangnan area."
Qingfeng Li nodded when he heard this.
"This is a good thing, I know! The Xue family has made an indelible contribution to the fact that Jinling is now able to produce a large number of weapons and equipment!"
"I'll remember this achievement for the Xue family later!"
Aunt Hua said with some hesitation,
"Peak Master is absolutely right, but, but..."
Seeing Aunt Hua's expression, Qingfeng Li was a little confused and asked doubtfully,
"What? Is there anything else?"
Aunt Hua looked at Qingfeng Li in astonishment, then spoke helplessly,
"That's right, Peak Master."
"Yesterday, after returning home to report, Linghu Chong from Sanhuai Hall came to me alone. He said that before Qingfeng Village entered Jinling, you, Peak Master, had promised the Xue family..."
Qingfeng Li was stunned at first, then he slapped his forehead.
"Oh my, so that's what it is!"
After scratching his ears, he said to Aunt Hua,
"Tell Linghu Chong to do his job properly!"
"This matter is in my mind. Everything is waiting for Yu'er to return. Please arrange it for me!"
After saying this, Qingfeng Li quickly turned around and left.
Aunt Hua smiled and saluted Qingfeng Li.
"Farewell, Peak Master!"
……
Xingrong Street.
It was a neighborhood in Jinling City where Qingfeng Li ordered the construction of an experimental base.
Located in the west of the city, all entrances and exits are heavily guarded.
When Li Qingfeng's carriage entered, someone immediately came forward.
"Your subordinate Sun Yu pays homage to the Peak Master!"
Qingfeng Li jumped off the carriage and raised his hand with a smile.
"Master Sun, you're welcome. Where's Xiao Ai?"
Sun Yu was the person in charge of the secret workshop in the former Qingfeng Village.
After Qingfengzhai entered Shenjing, Li Qingfeng set up an experimental base, transferred him from Yangzhou, and appointed him as the head of Tiangongtang.
As the name suggests, Tiangongtang is responsible for the research, development and manufacturing of various things.
Sun Yu smiled and said,
"Military Advisor Ai is currently training a group of outstanding apprentices with advanced ideas. How about I accompany the Peak Master on a tour of the base?"
Li Qingfeng smiled and nodded.
"Okay! This is also the purpose for me to come here. Then you can accompany me to look around first."
"Yes, Peak Master, please follow me!"
Sun Yu led the way respectfully.
After walking for a while, we came to a workshop with a plaque that read "Firearms Bureau".
After entering, Sun Yu introduced Li Qingfeng.
"This firearms bureau currently has over 7,000 workers. With the hydraulic workshop provided by Military Advisor Ai, labor costs have been greatly reduced and efficiency has been improved."
"Now that we have abundant resources and manpower, we can produce 3,000 Type 38 rifles and over 100,000 rounds of ammunition every day!"
"The mortars and the Second Battalion Commander's cannon are still undergoing experimental testing and cannot be mass-produced for the time being."
