Farming and teaching across different worlds

Daddy also apologizes to you, it was Daddy's fault for hiding from you before. "

Jia Bao looked at his father in surprise, saw the seriousness on his face, and was sure of the true meaning of his words before reacting.

Suddenly seeing his father's serious reaction, he was suddenly a little unaccustomed to it, and after he realized it, he lowered his head in embarrassment, then raised his head, his cheeks were slightly red, and he pretended to be serious and replied: "Well, baby , then forgive daddy, that's it."

When Shi Jingchen heard Ji Xiuran's words, he also turned his head to look in surprise, and then a gentle smile bloomed on his face, and Xiuran has grown into a qualified adult.

Ji Xiuran looked at the embarrassed Jiabao and didn't laugh at him like before, but smiled softly at him.

Then he turned his head and saw Shi Jingchen looking at him tenderly, his cheeks were slightly hot from his eyes, and he lowered his eyebrows. After a while, the temperature on his face dropped, and he looked up and turned back. A big smile.

Afterwards, the atmosphere between them became much more harmonious. Shi Jingchen explained the expedition to Jiabao in detail, and Jiabao also asked some questions about leading the troops that he was interested in, and Shi Jingchen answered them all one by one.

Ji Xiuran listened to the communication between the father and son, and occasionally made a joke.

Finally, when Jia Bao was about to leave, he turned his head to look at Shi Jingchen, and said solemnly: "Father, when the child grows up, he will become a general like his father. When the time comes, the child will go out on behalf of the father."

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to look at Ji Xiuran, and continued: "The child will protect father and father."

Shi Jingchen listened, smiled softly on his face, touched Jiabao's little head, and replied: "Okay, father will wait."

Ji Xiuran's nose was slightly sour, his eye circles were reddish, and he fell into Shi Jingchen's arms, and said in a tearful voice, "Jiabao is too sensible, third brother."

Seeing that his father was so moved by his own words, Jia Bao scratched his head at a loss.

Seeing him like this, Shi Jingchen waved his hand, signaling him not to worry, and let him go back first.

After Jia Bao left, he carefully patted Ji Xiuran on the back to comfort him.

Ji Xiuran calmed down, and then he realized Jiabao's words before, he thumped Shi Jingchen's chest with some complaints, and said, "I knew that little Jiabao liked to practice martial arts more than study, such a small one, he determined to be a general in the future. "

Shi Jingchen helplessly grabbed his troubled hand, sighed, and said, "Let him choose what Jiabao will do in the future. As parents, we should not interfere too much."

Ji Xiuran complained dissatisfied: "Of course you would say that, anyway, he has already expressed that he wants to inherit your mantle."

Shi Jingchen looked at him helplessly, and said, "Are you really going to waste this rare time alone on these unimportant things?"

Hearing his words, Ji Xiuran turned his eyes slightly, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "This is not an unimportant matter."

Shi Jingchen replied helplessly, "Yes, Xiu Ran is right." Then he raised his arms to pick him up, and walked into the house.

No one cares about prostitution in the daytime.

Soon a month passed, and it was the day when Shi Jingchen set off.

A fleet of more than 100 warships docked neatly at Jinkou Port, ready to go.

A large part of these ships are new ships after improvement.

Before Mu Xuanzi joined the private dock run by Gongsun Zizhan, he let go of researching new power systems.

Although there is no significant effect yet, a new type of sailboat has been produced.

This new ship still relies on manpower and wind power, but the hull has been modified more smoothly than before, reducing the resistance in the water.

At the same time, the oars were changed to propellers, which were installed on both sides and the rear of the hull. At the same time, the way of manpower output in the ship was changed, and the previous hand crank was changed to a pedal, which greatly increased the speed of propeller rotation.

The improved warship is more than twice as fast as the previous sailboat in terms of speed.

This is the first appearance of the new ship, just in time for the Jinhaiwei expedition, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.

It's just that after seeing the strong and fast warship, everyone has a little more confidence in this expedition.

At this time, the crowd around Jinkou Port fell to their knees and shouted long live when they heard the lyrics of "The Emperor is coming".

The emperor's royal car came to see off the soldiers of this expedition, which shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to this expedition.

The emperor was dispatched, and all civil and military officials in the capital would naturally be present.

Naturally, Ji Xiuran also came, and besides that, he brought his family along.

After arranging Ji Fu Ji Mu and Jia Bao, he stood alone among all civil and military officials.

Seeing the emperor standing on the altar, paying homage to the sea god, and then announcing his departure, Ji Xiuran looked at the mighty fleet with a slightly sore nose, setting sail.

He stared at the fleet in a daze until he could no longer see them, and then left with the crowd in a sense of loss.

Shi Jingchen became more and more busy as he approached the expedition, and the two of them couldn't say goodbye before the final departure.

I thought I could spare some time to meet before the expedition, but after a process, the two of them were about to set off before they found a suitable opportunity.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiuran couldn't help but look back at the vast sea, and couldn't stop the soreness in his heart.

After seeing the family, Ji's father and mother stepped forward and asked with concern: "Did Xiuran see Er Niu? We are too far away from here, and we don't see anyone."

Only then did Ji Xiuran pull himself together to comfort his family.

Seeing his father leaving, Jia Bao couldn't even see him, feeling depressed, so he sat beside Ji Xiuran without saying a word.

Ji Xiuran raised his hand and touched his little head, comforting him: "Don't worry, Jiabao, your father will come back safely."

Ji Xiuran looked at the front with firm eyes, determined in his heart that that person would definitely return safely.

Chapter 178

In the following days, Ji Xiuran devoted himself to his official duties in order not to miss the person in the distance too much.

Now that the establishment of commercial and taxation departments across the country has entered a critical period, he must not only focus on the establishment of commercial and taxation departments in various places, but also find ways to solve the problems that arise in various places.

In addition, it is necessary to distribute the pre-arranged General Rules of Commerce and Taxation to various state capitals, and at the same time answer questions from feedback from various regions.

In this busy time, more than two months have passed.

Ji Xiuran was sitting in the duty room of the household department, looking at the official documents sent from various places in his hand.

He closed his sour eyes, put down the document in his hand, and couldn't help but raised his hand to rub the center of his brow. The continuous busyness during this period of time made him feel slightly uncomfortable.

He stopped, exhaled lightly, and took the timer on the table. After seeing the time displayed on it, he was dazed for a moment.

Only then did he stand up, go to the window, and look at a tree of pink and white crabapples blooming outside, and then he realized that spring has come.

During this period of time, I was busy with official duties, ignoring the changes of the seasons and the care of my family.

He lowered his head and stared blankly at his palm. It's been two months, and the temperature left on that person's hand is about to disappear. I don't know if that person is doing well.

At this time, Shi Jingchen, whom Ji Xiuran was thinking about, had already arrived at the island where he was stationed.

Before they set off, they brought detailed sea charts from Jinghaiwei's fleet.

And half a month before the expedition, they sent the vanguard to this small island to set up a camp first.

When the big troops arrive, they can just station themselves directly.

With the new type of warship, it took less than two months to come to this island from the Great Xia Kingdom, which was half the time compared to the fleet of Jinghaiwei before.

This island is [-] nautical miles away from the place where Shen Chong and others were attacked before, half a day's boat ride, which is very convenient for them to investigate.

Shi Jingchen took everyone to the island and had a small meeting in the temporary tent.

After that, he ordered the scouts to lead three warships to investigate the military situation first.

The scouts were ordered to leave, and ordered 3000 people to board the ship and leave the temporary port of call.

When he came back a day later, he quickly replied to Shi Jingchen.

At this time, Shi Jingchen was in the master account, holding the previous chart, discussing tactics with everyone.

Hearing the report, he ordered someone to come in and reply.

The scout entered the door, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "I have been observing there for a day, and I saw ships coming in and out non-stop. There may be hundreds of them, and there are hundreds of well-equipped soldiers on each ship."

Shi Jingchen frowned when he heard this. It sounds like the strength of the army is much different than what he learned before.

The group that Shen Chong and others encountered before was clearly only 5 people, so that they had a slightly weaker strength of 3 people and fought them to a tie before they could escape back to Daxia smoothly.

But the results of the current investigation show that their strength is far greater than [-].

They had only brought 10 people based on [-] troops before, so they should have a good chance of winning.

But now that the situation has changed, Shi Jingchen can no longer be so sure.

He raised his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, before he opened his mouth and gave an order: "The left-wing general Zheng Shen will lead 3 people and set off tomorrow to test it out. The right-wing general Liu Shen will lead 2 people to go around the enemy's rear and investigate."

General Zheng and General Liu saluted immediately after hearing the order.

Shi Jingchen then waved his hand and asked everyone to go down to prepare, while he looked at the chart on the table with a serious face.

For this arrangement, he wanted to find out the real strength of the enemy. If there was such a big gap, he would send someone back to ask for support as soon as possible.

Staring at the chart, he still had a bold guess in his heart, and he would have to wait for General Liu to investigate before he could draw a conclusion.

General Zheng took a group of people there. He thought it would be a matter of one touch, so he didn't want to make more troubles. Who knows, he just saw that place.
