A large sailboat slowly sailed into Dalian Port, and on the deck there were dozens of literati wearing long robes and blue shirts curiously looking at the rumored advanced southern Liaoning area. There were some slightly higher-rise buildings in Dalian Port, and along the coastline were rows of houses, factories, and chimneys emitting black smoke. At the dock were warships of the Beiyang Fleet, and the house-level sail battleships such as the Daqi and Dachu slowly rolled with the waves. There were also black steam iron armored merchant ships loading cargo. Busy ships were busy building more merchant ships and new steam ships in the three large shipyards.

"Because Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Shandong and other places require a large number of merchant ships, we have three official shipyards in Dalian Port processing and producing large-capacity merchant ships day and night. At present, we mainly produce sailing ships, which are cheap. However, the requirements for high-quality wood are high, that is, the source of wood from Daxinganling and other places can be continuously produced. The future prospects are still steam iron armored ships, as long as there is enough metal," the captain on the ship introduced them to the situation in southern Liaoning.

"Iron armored ship? I didn't expect that the Jiuzhou Army could still allow ships made of iron blocks to float in the water. It's amazing!" An official in his thirties looked at the metal-like "Yongchang" from afar and couldn't help but sigh.

"Shen Youlong, aren't you very close to the Jiuzhou Army? Why haven't you seen an iron-clad ship?" said another official who looked a little older.

"It's one thing to get closer, but there is only one precious and incredible iron-armored ship in the world, and it's a trade line from southern Liao to Japan. I've lived in Fuzhou for a long time, so of course I haven't seen it." Shen Youlong, the former governor of Fujian, said, "Senior, now we are still officials in the same dynasty, so you don't have to mock me anymore. It was not that I wanted to replace you as the governor of Fujian, at the time. This was the emperor's intention. Senior, you were not transferred to the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi later, you are not worse than the governor of Fujian, right?" Shen Youlong said.

The senior in his mouth was Xiong Wencan, one was a Jinshi in the 35th year of Wanli, and the other was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli.

When the Jiuzhou Army entered the pass, Xiong Wencan, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxiong, was restricted by Deng Qianlong from the Nanyang Fleet, and he did not dare to act rashly. When Nanjing City was captured, the Jiuzhou Army continued to capture Xiangyang and Chengdu. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Xiong Wencan personally ordered the officials from all prefectures and counties in Guangdong and Guangxi to surrender to the Jiuzhou Army.

Later, Fujian Governor Shen Youlong and Guangdong and Guangxiong Governor Xiong Wencan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxiong, all three provinces were almost completely intact and in the south, especially in the south, some ethnic minorities that belonged to the same Chinese civilization, saving Chu Yun a lot of unified time. Therefore, the two were valued by Chu Yun for their merits. They became one of the few officials who successfully transformed from an old dynasty official to a new type of official.

Chu Yun set up senior bureaucrats in provincial institutions to check and balance each other. In order to prevent the top leaders in managing internal affairs from becoming bigger, Chu Yun also set up an internal affairs meeting composed of officials from other bureaus to pass local legislation and major decisions through voting. In addition, Chu Yun will also send inspectors from various dynasties and generations in Chinese history to inspect and assess government affairs in various places from time to time. However, Chu Yun does not set up a high-powered official position like a governor, but inspects various places through inspection teams. In other words, the inspection team is a group. It is much more difficult to bribe a group than a governor. No one can guarantee that the members of the inspection team do not have Chu Yun’s confidant specially arranged. For such people, the cost of bribery is almost a sky-high price.

Currently, Chen Youlong is a Fujian government official, while Xiong Wencan has been removed from his post as governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and has been transferred to Guangdong government official.

The officials who arrived in southern Liaoning were almost all government officials, and the lowest was also officials at the prefecture level, such as the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture and the prefect of Guangzhou Prefecture. They came to southern Liaoning to familiarize themselves with the technologies and new systems of the industrial era, otherwise they would build railways and wires in their jurisdiction at that time, and they would not know what that was. This is funny.

As for judicial officers and prosecutors, Chu Yun did not use a large number of old-style Ming officials, and many positions were still vacant. The reason is very simple. Prosecutors must be trustworthy people, and judicial officers must reform the "Ming Law" and implement new laws and regulations to specifically train judicial officials.

In Liaodong and southern Liaoning, Chu Yun and others had confirmed the basic "Jiuzhou Law" based on some practices of this era, and the Academy of Sciences also cultivated a group of talents with the spirit of mainland law. However, it takes time to improve, and it is particularly comfortable that Chu Yun will open up new technologies every once in a while. New technologies mean new products and new markets, and they must have supporting laws.

In addition to the troubles caused by technological innovation to reform the Minglu, the expansion of the Jiuzhou Army also brought many corresponding problems. For example, how to deal with ethnic issues, the transitional issues of new laws and Minglu in various places. There are also expansion overseas, how to deal with colonies? Negotiation issues with other civilized forces? These are all things that Chu Yun has been troubled recently, and it is definitely more complicated and difficult than a simple war.

"I am not dissatisfied with you because you once replaced my position as governor of Fujian, but because you were getting along with the Jiuzhou Army in the past. I was loyal to the court but I was repeatedly criticized by the court. It was really depressing." Xiong Wencan said.

Thinking of the frustration he had been suffering all the time, Xiong Wencan became angry. That is, he was appointed as the Guangdong government official by Chu Yun, so Deng Qianlong could not use force to force him. Xiong Wencan finally turned over as his master. Of course, the price was that Xiong Wencan had nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty and had become a member of the Jiuzhou Army.

"This is the master of the times. We met the military leader in the capital some time ago. He is young and promising and will lead us to expand our territory and leave our reputation forever. Our Fujian and Guangdong are close to Nanyang. The military leader specifically asked us to vigorously develop our economy and industry. I guess we will attack the rear of Nanyang in the future. The burden on our shoulders is not light at all." Chen Youlong said.

Before they visited Liaonan, they first landed in Tianjin Wei and went to the capital to meet Chu Yun. They felt familiar and were also given some instructions by Chu Yun. They were located in Fujian and Guangdong and Guangxi areas near Nanyang. Of course, Chu Yun should treat it with special treatment.
