Delivering goods to Zhenguo Mansion made Inspection Zhao more energetic. Although Inspection Zhao seemed a little cautious, he was in a better mood after welcoming these two distinguished guests.

Inspection Officer Zhao is also a person who can observe the beauty. The man surnamed Qian was carrying the waist card of the commander of the Jinyi Commander, and the other was young but looked noble. Just by looking at the appearance of the assistant nodding and bowing in front of this nobleman, you will know that he must be extraordinary.

The most important thing is that the assistant minister also rewarded him with a ingot of gold. His responsibilities were very simple, and he sent these two noble people to Qinhuangdao.

Originally, the young nobleman was quite happy at the beginning. He had just gotten on the boat and walked up and down, looking at this and that, but soon, he became honest. This was a normal reaction. Inspection Officer Zhao showed his usual honest expression and started to laugh. It was seasick, and he had seen many such things.

Zhu Houzhao felt that she was very bad, especially in the previous two days, she almost felt exhausted. She vomited again and again, and her face turned sallow. She had improved a little in the past two days, but she was still like a thorn in her throat.

At this moment, he staggered out of the boat and heard someone outside say it, and then rushed to the deck like crazy. Sure enough, land seemed to appear in front of him, but the land was just a dark shadow at sea level.

As he got closer, Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment because he saw a lighthouse dozens of feet tall still piled up. The lighthouse seemed to be towering into the clouds, just a cylinder, or a pagoda.

In the distance, the port gradually showed its outline. Seven or eight trestles have been repaired, and many ships have been parked on the trestles. The entire island is large and lush. You can see that many buildings have begun to be built against the outer edge of the island. From the pier, because many buildings are built on the mountain, and most of them are stone buildings, they look particularly magnificent.

What is most unignorable is that every now and then there are roars.

Inspection inspector Zhao said respectfully to the distinguished guest: "This is opening the mountain. Don't be afraid, it is opening the mountain. The town government made a big move and directly moved the mountain. It was built a bridge when it encountered water and exploded when it encountered mountains. It was scary last month. With a bang, the earth shook."

The ship slowly approached the dock, and Zhu Houzhao jumped out of the ship quickly, and inspector Zhao directed people to unload the goods.

Zhu Houzhao and Qian Qian went directly to the island. When they really landed on the island, Zhu Houzhao realized how large the project volume of Qinhuangdao was. Nearly one million taels of silver that had been poured in was really wasted. The inside of the island had already begun to open up, and the stones were transported over and mixed with the huge stones and cement to build various cargo warehouses, forts, lighthouses, wharfs, roads, military camps, and water villages.

There were already chimneys in the distance, and cement was produced on site. Tens of thousands of craftsmen and laborers worked independently. Many temporary sheds were built for several miles. These people were sweating profusely under the scorching sun, and they seemed to have a thin layer of salt on their bodies.

There are many ships entering and leaving the pier, mostly grain ships, transported from inland two miles away.

Some researchers measure the building with tape measure everywhere. The foundation here is very deep, so there are pits everywhere.

What interested Zhu Houzhao most was the fort. Following the already hard cement road, Zhu Houzhao took Qian Qian to the higher terrain. Many high platforms had been built. Although the artillery was not transported, it seems to be absolutely spectacular now.

Further in, we reach the end of the road, thousands of people are clearing the mountains and forests and leveling the land, and shirtless people are holding various tools everywhere, just like farmers who are reclamation.

Qian Qian couldn't help but be amazed. After a while, he said with a heartache: "This is all silver."

Zhu Houzhao pursed her lips and was silent.

"Don't your Majesty think..." Qian Qian stopped, as if thinking of a better speech, and then said in an instant: "Well... don't you think it's very interesting?"

Zhu Houzhao suddenly looked heartbroken and said, "You said the previous sentence correctly. This is all silver. I don't say anything because I feel a little uncomfortable, because there is also my share in this silver."

After he said that, he said again: "Follow me."

Although Zhu Houzhao was dead on the boat, he quickly recovered his energy after getting on the island. He climbed up to a high ground with great enthusiasm and looked out from a distance, and couldn't help but say, "You said, if there is a pirate attack, where will it come from?"

Qian Qian said casually: "It should be the south side."

Zhu Houzhao shook his head, pointed to the West, changed his face to seriousness, and said, "It should be from here. You are not as smart as Ye Chunqiu. There is an inland connection to the west. Since the pirates come, they are meant to destroy the entire Qinhuangdao. Therefore, they will definitely cross all the ships between the inland and Qinhuangdao, cut off the connection between the inland and Qinhuangdao, and then kill them to the island.

"It's a pity..." Zhu Houzhao said this, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a pity that there are no cannons in the west now. Otherwise, it can be assumed that some artillery cannons. Once a pirate attacks, it's useless to count on the inland garrison, so they can only rely on the navy."

After pausing, Zhu Houzhao said again: "It would be great if the Zhenguo New Army is here, but they are too few and cannot fight pirates. To put it bluntly, even if the Zhenguo New Army lands on the island, it will not be of much use, because as long as the pirate ship cuts off the contact between Qinhuangdao and the inland, Qinhuangdao will have no supplies, how many days can the food on the island last?"

The sea breeze blew Zhu Houzhao's long hair, and Zhu Houzhao looked deep in the sky and said lofty: "So only naval battle, only naval battle... Only by defeating them in the vast ocean and sea can those hateful private businesses lose their last support. But don't worry, they will come soon. When Chunqiu learned that I was coming, he would definitely order the navy to come. I entrust myself to this Zhenguo Mansion Navy, because... I can trust Chunqiu!"

On the other side, when Ye Chunqiu brought his dukes to Shanhaiguan, the guards of Shanhaiguan were startled. He had never seen so many people come at once, and each of them was an important official in the court.

The Shanhaiguan Guard was waiting for a good hospitality, but Liu Jian said calmly: "Prepare the ship, I and the Dukes must land on the island immediately. Listen, there is no delay for a moment, go prepare immediately."
