Liu Zhirou's words made Li Xun somewhat unconvinced. "Minister Liu, who do you think can be better than me and the Zhang family? I don't need to have anything to do with Zhang Zhong. Ask Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. Who do they want to be with them?"
Without waiting for Minister Liu to speak, the old man said, "Little Prince, if possible, you really should follow the Zhang family. Learn more. Look at Xiao Bao and Cuckoo, these two children. They always make people feel at ease when they talk and do things. How could the Marquis say those words before?"
"Old Minister Liu is right. Little Prince should indeed follow the Zhang family. The Zhang family is very capable. Look at the Zhang family. They always leave a way out. When they have a way to make a lot of money and good technology, they never hide it. They directly take it out and give what should be given and what should be given.
With this kind of grasp, people who are really powerful won't deliberately look for trouble. Only those who don't open their eyes want to suppress the Zhang family to improve themselves. What's the result? "
Liu Zhirou was also teaching Li Xun on the side. She found that the Little Prince, who was arrogant and despotic in the capital, had changed. If she met him outside, people who didn't know him would only think that this child was good. She didn't feel the original sharpness of relying on his identity. Perhaps this was what he learned from the Zhang family.
The Zhang family did so many things, especially when they encountered forces that deliberately made things difficult for them. At the beginning, they were always so peaceful. They took a step back, and then another step back. When they retreated, they dug a trap. When they didn't want to retreat and counterattacked, that kind of sharpness could grasp the opponent between life and death.
The Zhang family was like a net. At first, it was soft and made people feel that they could break through any place. Those who didn't know what was good for them would let the net shrink when they touched it. This was called spinning a cocoon around oneself.
Li Xun also understood. Even if he really followed the Zhang family, it was impossible for him to be enfeoffed. Even if he and the Zhang family were good, there were other marquises, princes, and some big families. Wouldn't they send people to contact the Zhang family?
It was impossible for him to drive away everyone who wanted to get close to the Zhang family. He only had one advantage, and that was that he was on good terms with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. Usually, if he didn't find them to play with, they would find something good for him, or they would make something delicious and invite him to eat with them.
Thinking of this, Li Xun said seriously, "I know what to do. In the past, the Zhang family wanted to rely on me and didn't dare to offend me. But now, they still want to give me benefits. This is definitely not the reason. With the power of the Zhang family, they don't need to care about a marquis.
No matter how powerful a marquis is, what can I do to a top scorer? Sun Xin was beaten to death. Imperial Uncle doesn't care so much. If I really have a conflict with an official, I will be punished. "
"Little Prince, it's good that you think this way. I heard that the Little Prince is sick and can't move at all. Little Prince, you have to take care of yourself."
Liu Zhirou suddenly said at this time. She was already an adult, but she still winked at Li Xun.
Li Xun was not stupid. He immediately understood what she meant. He held his head with both hands and said, "My head hurts. Why does my head hurt so much? No, I have to find a doctor."
"Hahahaha." The old man laughed first. He pointed at Li Xun and said, "After being with Xiao Bao and Cuckoo for a long time, you actually know how to play tricks. Tomorrow, I will have my son bring a few doctors to visit you. It will probably take a few days before they arrive. Little Prince, you must not be careless. You have to take care of yourself when you are sick."
Li Xun laughed and said, "That is to say, when Zhang Zhong goes to a poor place, he will be a provincial governor? He has the final say in a province. If I really go with him, Minister Liu, will you give the new propeller to the Zhang family? "
"Of course, how can we not? The Zhang family said in the letter that they asked the Ministry of Works to keep a few for them. This is giving face to the Ministry of Works. If they can make one, they can make a second one. It is nothing more than telling the court that the Zhang family understands the rules and what can be done and what cannot be done. The Zhang family knows this very well.
Don't think that there is a lack of stainless steel. The Zhang family has already mined a lot of coal. With the ability of the Zhang family, is it difficult to make some stainless steel? The Zhang family has a choice. Are the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War not sensible children? Ever since the Zhang family made the sand table and military map, the people from the Ministry of War began to pay attention to the Zhang family.
Also, the Ministry of War has already found people to try out the design of the ship. They proposed to modify ten ships at once. If the people from the Ministry of War also come to rope us in, won't I, as the Minister of Works, fall behind? "
Liu Zhirou had a lot of things to consider, not only the use of this thing, but also some things in the court.
"Then let's take this thing back first. I will also go back to Huayuan County." Li Xun had a plan in his heart and knew how to tell Zhang Xiaobao.
"There is no need to take it back. Just do it according to these drawings first. This time, I brought a lot of people. If they really can't do it, then we can take that thing apart. I still don't know how fast it is, so I will go and see."
Liu Zhirou didn't want to go back. There must be people from the Ministry of War waiting there. The last time she came here, she was already targeted by them. What if she was discovered again?
The old man had already experienced it once, but he still wanted to experience it again. The three people came out of Between the Clouds and the Water one after another and boarded the ship. Following Li Xun's order, the old man was laughing heartily all the way, but Liu Zhirou's expression was serious.
Fast, it was really too fast. The eight of them worked hard. From time to time, the bow of the ship would be swayed by the current because it was not heavy enough. While it was moving up and down, Liu Zhirou suddenly asked, "What will happen if this thing is put on the sea? Can it be bigger? "
"On the sea? You will have to ask the Little Prince. The Little Prince is planning to make a ship. As for whether it can be bigger, you will have to ask the people from the Zhang family." This time, the old man wasn't as nervous as last time. He said in a relaxed manner.
*****
In Huayuan County, in the swimming pool of Yaowang Mountain, fifty-six people were still swimming in the water. At this time, everyone was carrying twenty kilograms of weight, but no one would shrink back because of this. The sound of splashing water was constantly heard.
Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao also swam with them. Of the two of them, one was carrying a weight, while the other was not. Wang Juan usually played in the swimming pool, and in addition to her familiarity with the water, she swam faster than the fifty-six people. Although she was a child, in the water, whoever could display their ability better would be able to swim faster.
Needless to say, Zhang Xiaobao had a natural affinity for water. After the flood, he vowed to become stronger in the water. From fear to conquest, and then to assimilation, Zhang Xiaobao's understanding of water had reached a terrifying level.
Wang Juan had been specially trained, and her movements were standard. Whether it was the breaststroke, butterfly, or freestyle, most of the time, her body was moving in the water, and she would only take a breath after a certain distance.
"Don't give up, you are the most powerful guards. Rhythm, pay attention to the rhythm, swim for me, the water is not cold, swim, look ahead a little, find a goal for yourself, don't look far away, just look at the front, believe in yourself, I can do it, I can do it, go!"
Wang Juan encouraged the fifty-six people while swimming. Zhang Xiaobao stuck closely to Wang Juan. It was unknown how he moved, but every time he swam, the current would not only not exhaust Wang Juan's strength, but also make her feel much more relaxed.
"Look at the young master and the young lady, just in front, swim, one two, one two, relax, spread your arms, steady, no one is allowed to rush." Huzi also shouted, but every shout was very strenuous. He did not want to support Wang Juan with Zhang Xiaobao's special swimming beside her.
The rest of the fifty-five people adjusted their breathing and frequency, no longer thinking of following Taidu. Their eyes were fixed on the young master, who was also carrying weights. The five catties of sand calculated according to the weight of the body did not affect the young master in the slightest.
At this time, they really saw the young master's swimming ability. Like a fish, the young master was always faster than others at the same frequency.
This was already the tenth round trip, and also the last one-way trip. No one wanted to give up, and they clenched their teeth and persevered. Even if they felt weak all over, even if there were stars in front of them, they still closed their eyes and persevered according to their own frequency.
When Wang Juan reached the end, she exerted strength under her feet, and Zhang Xiaobao supported Wang Juan from below. She jumped directly to the shore and lay there, gasping for breath.
Zhang Xiaobao suddenly sank into the water and floated up again. He waved at the fifty-six people and let them go first.
When the last one, Huzi, also climbed up, Zhang Xiaobao circled in the water, and with this force, directly jumped up in the water. He put his hands on the edge of the pool, and his whole body soared into the air. When he landed, his feet touched the ground first.
The fifty-six people were dumbfounded by what they saw.
Wang Juan was also stunned. She pulled Zhang Xiaobao and asked, "What are you …?"
"It's nothing. I'm used to the water. You can treat me as a cool man." Zhang Xiaobao was indeed not tired. When he swam, he could control the details.
"Then you will stay in the sea in the future. You are not allowed to go ashore. Maybe a mermaid will take a fancy to you." Wang Juan helped Zhang Xiaobao remove the weight on his body and said.
Zhang Xiaobao did not avoid it and directly massaged Wang Juan. Wang Juan shouted as she swam, and her physical strength was too exhausted. The others also divided into pairs and helped massage there.
"Xiao Bao, when will you leave? I really can't bear to leave. "Wang Juan was massaged for a while, and turned over to ask.
"No matter what, we have to wait for the ice in the Yellow River to melt. When we are there, ordinary people can't control us. If you want to raise dogs, find a few there. If you want to train people, there are many ethnic minorities there. Remember to integrate. Don't be like Yang Guozhong, foolishly happy and determined to destroy the human race. In the end, he was defeated twice in a row and many people died."
Zhang Xiaobao clenched his fist and massaged Wang Juan's leg.
"I'm not that kind of person. Xiao Bao, I know that you have a big plan this time. It's not just to give your father a good position over there, right? I have seen the ability of international swindlers with my own eyes. None of them are easy to deal with. "
