At about ten o'clock at night, the fleet arrived at Zunhua City. A tall figure stood on the trestle, with long legs, small leather boots, and a windbreaker with a waistband. Looking rustling, it was Yao Guang, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Ah! Yaoguang, you're here to pick us up. Long time no see. Give us a hug." Xiao Niangpi suddenly became happy when she saw Yaoguang on the pier.
He ran over and hugged Yao Guang's neck. Yaoguang also hugged her waist and spun her around, and the two of them heard laughter like silver bells.
Yang Fan also smiled and shook his head. He has been in Xincheng recently, while Yaoguang stayed in Zunhua. We haven't seen each other for a long time.
"Let's go. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get home." Yang Fan asked everyone to get on the carriage quickly. After getting on the light four-wheel European-style carriage, Yao Guang sat opposite Yang Fan.
Yao Guang leaned over and grabbed Yang Fan's wrist. A few cold and slender fingers fell on Yang Fan's pulse.
Yao Guang closed her eyes and felt it for a while, then placed her hand on Yang Fan's carotid artery. After a while, Yao Guang smiled like a flower and said: "Congratulations, master, the first stage of your body transformation has been completed. There is no need to refine the energy anymore. You can have children." As soon as Yao Guang finished speaking, the little girl Pi and Lin Yueru immediately became excited.
"Is this true? We can conceive a child for the master."
"Is the master's body back to normal?" Yao Guang nodded and said: "Don't worry, there is no problem. His body is far better than any man in this world." Yang Fan said doubtfully: "I transform my body What is the purpose?" Yao Guang said: "I don't know, I can't remember, but I know that I must urge you to keep strengthening your body, because we have big things to do in the future." Yang Fan did not speak, Yao Guang Many things are mysterious.
She has been gradually recovering her memory. Some things will be known sooner or later. The carriage arrived at Xinghe Iron Factory and Yang Fan got off.
Everything in front of him felt a little strange. Haven't been here for almost a year. The dilapidated earthen wall that year was no longer visible, replaced by a huge earthen building.
The original factory area is included in it. The small courtyard back then was surrounded by earthen buildings. Can't see it anymore.
This project, which Yang Fan originally named Xinghe Castle, has now been basically completed. All we are currently doing is renovation work.
The enclosed area inside this earth building is very large, and Yang Fan's first set of open-hearth furnaces and gas generating equipment were installed in the front half.
The second half is the original courtyard house. Yang Fan bought all the slums in the northwest corner of Zunhua City last year and originally planned to build an industrial base.
But as circumstances changed, plans were later changed. The industrial base was placed in a new city with water resources.
Although demolition and land leveling work has been completed in these places. But it has been sitting idle here.
There are weeds as tall as a person. Entered the door of Xinghe Castle. Inside, I saw that the old factory buildings made of earthen fences and bamboo poles and mats had all been demolished.
The earthen blast furnace was also dismantled. Facing the front is a huge steel-making and coking equipment. The original workshops that produced arms were relocated to the ground floor of Xinghe Castle.
At the bottom of Xinghe Castle is a ten-meter-high warehouse inside. Above the warehouse are three-story residences with a height of three meters.
The warehouse's base is very strong. It has a three-meter-thick reinforced concrete exterior wall. The interior walls are also one meter thick.
When the earth building was built, it expanded outwards a lot, with a full thirty acres of land in the middle. Lin Yueru was speechless looking at such a large building.
This building, which was about the same size as a later gymnasium, had a huge visual impact on people of this era.
In the front half of the land were the open-hearth and gas furnaces, and a coke furnace. Coal, iron ore, finished steel, grain, and various materials are stored in the warehouse on the ground floor of the earth building.
Some steel product production workshops are also in the warehouse on the ground floor. With the construction of the new city, the artillery casting workshops and musket workshops here will be moved to the new city.
There is nothing else here but steelmaking. Because the steel-making furnace should not be dismantled and moved after it is built, this set of open-hearth furnaces will remain here.
Yang Fan felt that the flat land outside could be developed as an industrial park and then leased to workshops engaged in steel processing. The open-hearth furnace left here could be used as a source of steel raw materials.
The group came to the back of the open hearth. I saw that the original small courtyard with three entrances is still there. This is where Yang Fan first lived when he first came to Zunhua.
Seeing this, Yang Fan also felt a lot of emotions. It has been two years since he came here. Xiao Niangpi was also a little excited.
She also lived here for a while. Back then, she and Yao Guang were drinking and fighting here. She and Yao Guang slept in the same bed, and their clothes were not different from each other's.
Had a great time. The coat mirror in the corner that she had been thinking about so much was still sitting there quietly.
In the closet, there are still the clothes she left here. Lin Yueru also looked here curiously. She knew that Yang Fan lived here, but she had never been here.
This is my first time here. The small courtyard is not big, but it is very warmly decorated. It feels like home. After arriving home, Yang Fan also felt tired from the journey and wanted to rest early.
"Notify the little fat man tomorrow morning that I'm back. Ask him where to meet. Those who want to see me, please meet me together." Yang Fan said with a yawn.
The steward here went down, and Yang Fan lay sprawled on the same bed as before.
"Oh, it's still nice to sleep here. I always have a different feeling when I come back here. It's like going home." Have a good night's sleep.
The next day, news came from the little fat man. Wei Bancheng booked a table at Taibailou, the largest restaurant in Zunhua. Please invite Mr. Yang to the banquet at noon.
More than three hundred people from Zunhua's wealthy businessmen, workshop owners, steel and mining industry bosses are waiting for you. Seeing Yang Fan riding in a carriage, protected by a hundred cavalry from the personal barracks, he went to the banquet.
Lin Yueru said to Tu Shanyue: "I don't understand why the master spent so much money to build this castle in Zunhua City. Zunhua is surrounded by five thousand-household settlements. It is considered a complete city wall. And thirty miles away is the Santun Camp City. There is also the Jiliao Governor's Mansion and more than 10,000 soldiers. It is safe enough here." Xiao Niangpi said: "At that time, the master just came to Zunhua, and he was The Ming Dynasty did not understand the situation and was eager to defend itself. It was under such circumstances that the project to build this castle was established." Lin Yueru shook her head and said: "It's still wrong. Does the master know something? This project was no longer necessary, especially After the new city is put into use, we can completely stop the work and have a lot of money left. In the past year, I have been moving all the belongings in Zunhua City away. It is really unnecessary." Xiao Niangpi said: "I have one thing to do. Foresight and planning ahead. Maybe he has far-sightedness and sees what will happen in the future. Forget it, we don’t need to use that brain. The master has arranged everything, just listen to him. Over the past year, I have become I'm lazy. You don't need to use your brains at all when you are around him. Hehe." Lin Yueru smiled, yes, you don't need to use your brains at all when you are around the master, he has arranged everything.
This is also a kind of happiness. Five updates tomorrow. None today.
