"Zhuzi, how are you? I made the revolver easy to use. I asked Dong Jin to bring it here specifically."
"Uncle, I know you love me the most. This revolver is so useful." Zhuzi heard that the revolver was specially allocated by Uncle Chang. Suddenly, one after another, the horses came like a tide.
This thing is still in trial production and has no equipment at all. Mainly because Chang Zhu was worried about Zhu Zhu, he asked Dong Jin to bring a batch of pistols and ammunition in the name of battlefield inspection.
Hong'er was dumbfounded when she heard it. She was stunned with her small mouth.
Only then did she realize that this boy Zhuzhu was too mean-mouthed, with rainbow farts all over the sky, and his face was not red and his heart was not beating. Just open your mouth. You can really deceive people to death with your words.
"Hmph, you are so sweet-tongued. I don't know how you deceived Miss Hong'er." Chang Zhu scolded with a smile.
Zhuzi immediately looked proud and said, "Who made me look handsome? This is our capital."
Soon he felt a sharp pain in his waist.
Chang Zhu laughed and scolded: "I said you are fat and you are breathless. When are you planning to get married? I will give you a big red envelope."
Hong'er's face turned red and she hid behind the pillar shyly. Sticking out his tongue, he said: "Uncle Chang, you don't want to make fun of me. Be careful, I will tell you later."
Chang Zhu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. You have just come back, and you are very tired. Each one of them is almost like a rice dumpling. Those who should see a doctor should go see a doctor, and those who should rest should rest. Go. Come to me for a drink tomorrow, but don’t forget to give me feedback on the use of the revolver."
Although the conditions of the shipyard are not as good as those of Xincheng Yang Mansion, there is still a five-story hotel. After all, there are a lot of people here.
Zhuzi and Hong'er checked into the standard room and took a pleasant hot bath. In the past few days, one thing has happened one after another, and I have no time to take care of myself. I smell all over my body. After finishing cleaning up, the young couple went to the restaurant on the second floor and had a delicious seafood dinner.
The next day, Chang Zhu's team and several representatives elected by Zhu Zhu and others had a dinner at noon. While eating, we discussed the experiences and lessons learned from the first large-scale use of pistols on the battlefield.
Yang Fan often said that designers must be down-to-earth and communicate with soldiers frequently in order to design good weapons. After all, the battlefield is the only criterion for testing weapons.
That night, Changzhu's team booked a steam engine boat. Go upstream from the North Canal and transport machine tools and equipment back to the new city. Zhu Zhu and the others also had to go back to report their work to the master, so they happened to take a boat.
The railway between Xincheng and Changxindian in Beijing has not started construction. They don't know why.
If it is opened, they can take the train back and get there in a very short time.
Yang Fan's main consideration is that the slaves will join the invaders this winter. By then, Zunhua, Tongzhou, and Beijing will be the hardest-hit areas. Railways are susceptible to damage.
After all, the 762 narrow-gauge railway is easy to build, fast to lay, and saves money. But the rails are short and light. Jiannu could have been carried away by more than a dozen people. Railway rails are made of good steel, so it would be strange for Jiannu to treat them as treasures. .
The existing railways all run on the west bank of the Yongding River and do not even connect to the capital, just to prevent this. Historically, Jiannu did not attack Yongding and Hexi, nor did they attack Tianjin Acropolis.
Their activities are mainly in the Jidong region and the Gyeonggi region.
In addition to strictly confidential radio stations, Yang Fan has already laid out wired telegraph lines from Beitangkou and Dagukou, via Tianjin Acropolis to Beijing, Tongzhou, Sanhe County, Jizhou, and finally to Xincheng.
They are all laid with telephone poles along the roads funded by Yang Fan. There is also paving along the railway line. They were all planned and built together in advance during road construction.
The railway station of Tianjin Port is built between Dagukou and Beitangkou. That is, on the wasteland between the Haihe River and the mouth of the North Canal.
Yang Fan rebuilt a large dock here. Mainly to distinguish it from the original Dagukou Pier.
The new pier and station are seamlessly connected. Goods disembarked from ships can be transported by train. Goods transported by train can be put on ships and transported to various ports along the coast of Daming and the Yangtze River.
Original merchant
, you can either take the old pier or the new port.
In this open space between two rivers, in addition to the Beitangkou Shipyard and industrial zone, cargo yards and warehouses with cement-hardened floors have also been built, as well as a civilian industrial zone for attracting foreign investment.
Along the coastal avenue of the harbor terminal, a business district composed of office buildings has been built.
Many merchants also came here to open warehouses and set up trading houses. In the past two years, thanks to Yang Fan's huge investment in infrastructure construction, this area has become the most prosperous area in Tianjin.
Yang Fan received the telegram last night and learned that Zhu Zhu and the others had completed their mission and had arrived at Beitangkou. They were planning to take a boat back to Xincheng, which was expected to arrive in the afternoon.
Yang Fan was having a picnic with his wives at this time.
He was gone for more than half a year. The ladies gave birth to their children and he was not at home. This made him feel very indebted to them. Now that it's okay, I naturally have to compensate them well. They all have the mentality of little girls and love to play.
This morning, Yang Fan took them to Panshan for fun.
Panshan Scenic Area is right next to Jizhou. Very close to the new city.
Xiao Niangpi and the others had set their alarm clocks early, just because they were afraid they wouldn't be able to get up. The family, together with their children, maids, servants, and servants, formed a long motorcade and headed towards the winding mountain.
A few days ago, the Engineer Corps specially sent a battalion to repair the road along the way. The pits and rutted trenches were padded, and lime, sand, and clay were sprinkled. Use a stone roller to re-tighten the potholes. It is convenient for carriages to travel.
Ever since Yang Fan decided to go out to play yesterday, Xiao Niangpi and the others had been so excited that they couldn't sleep well all night. I packed everything I wanted to bring in advance.
Yang Fan hasn't taken them out to play for a long time. Although Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru have given birth to a child, they are still very playful. Last time, we were in the grassland.
Yang Fan laughed at whether they would grow up. He almost raised them as daughters.
In fact, they are quite easy to coax. A set of building blocks. A set of puzzles and some modern simple toys can make them smile happily.
They especially like stuffed animals. Holding the rogue rabbit and teddy bear without letting go.
Yang Fan gave them a set of toy trains and railroad tracks, which made them very happy. Lay out tracks on the floor of your home, then whine and whine along them with a rechargeable train.
If you have photovoltaic panels at home, electric toys can also be used. These things were originally prepared for a pair of children, but now they are all used by the mother to play with. Children's toys in this era are too few and too monotonous. They seem to be making up for the fun of childhood.
It was noon on the main peak of Panshan Mountain, and Yang Fan was preparing to have a picnic here.
In the morning, Yang Fan took his wives to catch small fish and shrimps in the creek.
These are all water-related activities that Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru like. They rolled up their trouser legs, exposing their white and tender calves and feet, and waded in the clear stream. Cool and comfortable.
Mei Xiang would occasionally exclaim, "The little fish is eating my feet."
They were chattering excitedly when they caught small fish and shrimps in their nets. Even if you turn over a rock and catch a crab, you will be happy for a long time.
They came up on the sliders all the way and didn't climb the mountain, so they weren't tired. Have enough energy to play. After all, the two ladies are still recuperating.
The scenery at the top of the mountain is very good. There is no industrial pollution in this era and visibility is very high.
From the top of the main peak of Panshan Mountain, you can see the capital city in the distance. If you use a telescope, you can clearly see the towering gray city walls of the imperial capital and the buildings in the city.
There are pine trees, strange rocks, sea of clouds and hot springs, and the scenery is pleasing to the eye.
Yang Fan sat cross-legged on the carpet with a small folding table in front of him. He was using a kerosene stove and an iron plate to make donkey meat pot stickers for them. Grill some other ingredients by the way.
Aunt Mei and her maids made a bonfire, leaning on corn and sweet potatoes with iron skewers on one side. Make rice using a makeshift fire pit. By the way, stir-fry some wild vegetables picked by the ladies in the morning.
Donkey Egg is on the other side, dealing with seafood and meat. Thread the processed beef, mutton, and seafood into skewers. It is convenient for Yang Fan to heat it with an iron plate.
Mo Zuo and his servants were on guard outside. A battalion of infantry was scattered at various points up the mountain.
Everywhere on the road. There is also a battalion of cavalry at the foot of the mountain to protect the convoy.
Yang Fan felt very comfortable being blown by the gentle wind. He used tongs to put the fried donkey meat pot stickers on a small plate, and they were immediately snatched up by Xiao Niangpi, Lin Yueru, Mei Xiang and Chen Xi who were waiting eagerly.
They enjoyed it very much when the master cooked and cooked delicious food for them.
Xiao Niangpi wiped the oil stains on the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief and said coquettishly: "Master, why don't you go to Guihua City to take up the post before the year before? Just stay at home. My sisters and I will serve you and make you comfortable. .Don’t go to the northwest to eat sand.”
Yang Fan put down the spatula and tongs and said with a smile: "Listen to my wife, I won't go anywhere before the Spring Festival. I will stay with you at home. I am sick and need to recuperate at home. I will ask your Majesty for a long leave later."
