There is a territory!

Development, development, expansion, expansion!

Grow vegetables! Growing vegetables... Oh, no, the starting point is about farming!

Master Li's long-brewed Jinyuan offensive began, and the urgently needed materials were transported back by Lin Yongxiang, who had already been sent out for purchase. According to the young master, the expansion of the whole land must be completed before Germany and the British transported the machinery here.

At this moment, the shortage of a large number of workers made Master Li worried. Fortunately, Long Guozhang, who got the news, packed all 600 craftsmen rescued from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice overnight, except for a dozen craftsmen necessary in the mine, together with their families.

However, he did not come directly to Hawaii, but transferred to San Francisco and handed over the 500 skilled Chinese and craftsmen recruited by Duan Fei to an American transportation company to bring them here. In this way, no one would suspect that Li Mo was ready.

With a large number of native Hawaiian Chinese waving checks and gradually joining the construction army, Master Li's territory finally had a preliminary appearance. At this time, the happiest thing for him at this time was to hold the small size and stand on the balcony to watch the daily changes in the territory.

"Young master, does this dress look good?"

In the room, he turned around twice, but saw Li Mo only looking into the distance and paying attention to her at all. Suddenly, he was so angry that he rushed to the young master and shouted, "Young master!"

"Ah!" Li Mo, who was shocked by the small, quickly turned around and found that the little girl's mouth was up to the sky. He quickly smiled and said, "Good-looking, good-looking! My family looks good in everything.

"The word of mouth is wrong!" After Li Mo's flattery, Duan Yueer appeared at the door. This girl must be deliberately looking for fault, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? Li Mo gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. He couldn't play in broad daylight, could he? What's more, the young master is still too small.

Although the ancients had the matter of marrying a concubine at the age of twelve or thirteen, he could be regarded as a "civilized person" in later generations. Master Li really couldn't lick his face. Moreover, the eldest of the two girls was only 16 years old. It was not good for the body to do this too early, so he had to grit his teeth and endure for a "good" life in the future.

"I don't know if it will affect development!" Master Li broke his fingers and was worried.

In the face of the young master's pair of bad eyes that were flickering and sweeping back and forth, Duan Yueer couldn't stand it anymore. She quickly pulled up the small and was about to escape. But when she thought of it, our Master Li deliberately made a bad look and suddenly stretched his foot forward.

"Ouch!"

Poor Duan Yueer didn't expect that there would be such a plot. She suddenly fell forward. Only then did Li Mo see the opportunity, suddenly opened his arms, held her thin waist with one hand, and pressed on the group of [***] that had begun to take shape with the other hand.

Wow...

The key was caught. Duan Yueer's prestige just now disappeared in an hour, but she was still afraid that she would see Master Li's claws pressed on her chest, so she had to lean sideways and let Li Mo hold her. Her red lips bit gently, and she didn't dare to shout.

"Sister Yueer, are you all right!" Seeing that Duan Yueer almost fell down, she didn't think that this was a ghost done by the young master. She hurried over. At this time, Li Mo finally pinched it hard and said falsely, "I'm such an adult, I don't know how to be careful!"

"Bastard, pervert, apprentice!" Duan Yueer, who had a pain in her chest, saw Li Mo still talking like this. She immediately scolded Master Li in her heart. She stood up straight and cut a few times with her eyes. Then she blushed and ran out angrily.

"Wow... Look at those hypocrites who accidentally fell down to hug each other! The young master did it on purpose!" Li Mo laughed and put his hand under his nose and looked intoxicated. Well, it smells so good. It's so slippery!"

But before he was intoxicated for a while, Du Dazhuang rushed in.

"Young master, warship, it's a warship! Good boy, so many cannons!"

"Yan!" Li Mo shivered. It's only been a few days, and someone came to hit me? The young master hasn't done anything bad yet, has he?

Before he was shivering, he heard Du Dazhuang shouting again, "It's a Chilean warship. Come to us to repair it!"

"Dog calf! Half of the words, I don't know it will scare people to death!" Li Mo took it with one foot and said, "What are you shouting about?" Just repair it. Anyway, the shipyard is idle, and it can also help the young master make a little money!"

Du Dazhuang, who was solid and kicked, walked out with an aggrieved face. Didn't you say that if you saw a passing warship calling you immediately, what's wrong with you? Just then, Li Mo suddenly stopped him.

"You just said it was a Chilean warship?"

Du Dazhuang nodded his head like a chicken eating rice and hurriedly said, "Brother Chen Ping said it. I don't know that national flag!"

Since Chen Ping said it, it can't be wrong. The curvature of the corners of Li Mo's mouth suddenly spread. I really want to do whatever I want!"

The entry of his [***] ship into the port is new to Li Mo and others, but for others who have been living in Hawaii all year round, this is nothing at all. Because Hawaii at this moment can be said to be a free port. Whoever likes it will come. There are many [***] ships coming here to add coal all year round to rest and avoid hurricanes, so after such a warship entered the port, it did not cause any disturbance at all.

At this moment, Chen Ping stood on the dock and watched the Chilean warship slowly coming towards him, and his heart was shocked. It's not that he will think that the other party is going to attack here, but that the appearance of this warship is too familiar. If there is no national flag and the Chilean sailors on it, he will even doubt whether it is the Super Brave of Beiyang or the Yangwei.

Because this ship is too much like two ships, except for zooming in, there are some local differences, both the layout and the shape of the ship are completely the same. Just as he was puzzled, an explanation came to his ear.

"The Esmeralda." Construction began in June 1883, with a displacement of 2,950 tons, a length of 82 meters and a width of about 13 meters. The power is two reciprocating steam engines, four boilers, double-axis propulsion, and a maximum speed of 18 knots. Dome armor protection, the thickest 2 inches, equipped with two 10-inch 30-aperture cannons, six 6-inch secondary guns, two rapid-fire guns, and three torpedo tubes.

Listening to such detailed data from my ear, it's just like it was designed and manufactured by him. Who is so powerful? Chen Ping quickly turned his head and looked at it. At this time, he was completely stunned and only saw that Li Mo had appeared behind him and frowned.

"Young master, it was you just now..."

Before Chen Ping could finish stammering, Li Mo nodded. He was too familiar with this ship. If it hadn't been for the way, the ship might have become the bag of Beiyang. Although I dare not say that a warship will change the situation, it is possible to buy all the warships promoted by Chile at that time.

"Look at more newspapers!" Since the teacher's trick was immunized by everyone, Master Li shamelessly launched the newspaper theory. Now Chen Ping's eyes are straighter. I read the newspaper every day!?"

"Maybe you missed it!" Du Dazhuang said beside him.

"Leaked? ...." Chen Ping is full of doubts. Is there a newspaper in the world that specializes in introducing warship data?

Li Mo ignored the suspicious eyes next to him and silently looked at the Esmeralda, which was about to dock. At this time, the Esmeralda was obviously not as majestic as it was. The front mast was broken from the middle, the upper deck was in a mess, and there were only two lifeboats left on both sides.

Encountering pirates? Or did you encounter a storm?

The answer: As the Esmeralda docked, a bearded officer saluteed from the ship and finally came out. Hello, Rear Admiral Da of Chile. Simmons has met your Excellency!"

"It's another beard. Is it the bearded captain popular in the navy now? Playing with pirates!" Li Mo muttered in his heart and said with a smile, "Hello, my dear Major General, what can I do for you?"

"Are you? Where's Sykes?" Da. Simmons looked around doubtfully and asked.

"He ran away. I bought the shipyard!" After saying that, Li Mo looked at the Esmeralda and said, "It seems that you are in trouble!"

"Run away? This damn guy still owes me money!" After listening to the scolding, Simmons stamped his feet. Fortunately, he thought that the task at this moment was not to collect debts, but to repair the ship, so he continued to mutter a few words and finally said, "Yes, this damn hurricane! I almost let me stay there!"

After saying that, he looked around and said suspiciously, "Can you help me repair it now?" Obviously, he was a little worried about the sudden change of the factory owner, for fear that the other party was inexperienced. If it could not be repaired here, he would have to go to San Francisco to see the face of the Yankees.

Li Mo smiled. The bearded major general looked quite straightforward and cute. He immediately said, "Don't worry, General Simmons, although Sykes has run away, the workers are still here, and I also have two technicians who know how to repair warships. I believe that your warship will be restored as new soon.

"Oh, that's great!" Simmons took Li Mo's hand and said gratefully.

"I'm telling you to make more delicious food in the kitchen today to entertain our former friend!" Li Mo turned his head and told Du Dazhuang, but he spoke English. Although Du Dazhuang was also making up for this paragraph, these words were so long that he couldn't turn around at all.

Seeing that he was going to make a fool of himself, fortunately, Chen Ping quickly nodded and responded, "Yes, young master, don't worry!" After saying that, he turned around and shouted, "What are you still doing? Go and arrange the warship to dock, and inform the workers to go to work immediately and repair the warship!"

"Yes." The onlookers of the warship dispersed under Chen Ping's scolding.

"Thank you so much!" Simmons held Li Mo's hand and didn't want to let it go for a long time.

"Say, the young master is not Lala!" Li Mo vomited in his heart, but with a smile on his face, like a friend he had not seen for many years, patted Simmons on the shoulder and said, "General, don't mind visiting my manor and having dinner together!"

"Of course..."

Seeing Simmons shouting for the sailors behind him to disembark, the smile at the corners of Li Mo's mouth once again expanded a lot, a lot!
