At this time, Lu Yuan was sitting on the throne looking at the memorial in front of him.
Soon, the door of Chonghua Palace opened, and the eunuch who had just gone out to give orders came back.
The eunuch looked at Lu Yuan sitting on the throne and was startled for a moment, but he didn't have any big reaction.
normal.
This has long been nothing unusual.
"When will the crude oil arrive?"
Lu Yuan raised his head and glanced at the eunuch, then looked down at the memorial in his hand and asked.
Lu Yuanjin came here first to borrow money, and secondly to take a look at the oil.
The eunuch was startled and said quickly:
"Sir, we have to wait until noon to arrive. There is no railway to the northwest. They have to ride horses to Lingnan Pass first, and then take a train from Lingnan Pass to the Imperial City."
Lu Yuan nodded but didn't say anything.
Anyway, Lu Yuan is ready now.
Especially for the equipment for drilling oil wells, the sketches have been completed. As long as it is confirmed that what is taken from the northwest desert is oil, then the Forging Bureau can be ordered to start building the equipment for drilling oil wells that day.
As for the fuel turbine, Lu Yuan hasn’t finished it yet.
It's not that Lu Yuan is lazy, it's that Lu Yuan wants to design it with people from Qingbei School.
Let everyone participate and learn together.
At noon.
When Lu Yuan and the three of them were having dinner together, the eunuch came to report that the crude oil had arrived.
There was a bottle full of crude oil. When Lu Yuan took a look, he couldn’t be wrong!
It's oil, found it!
After seeing the oil, Lu Yuan couldn't eat anymore, so he took the bottle of crude oil and ran away.
Go straight to Qingbei University.
The next thing is simple, this matter is directly established at Qingbei University.
First, produce the equipment Lu Yuan needs to drill oil wells.
Lu Yuan asked Qingbei University to suspend classes first, and then all teachers and students in the school began to study fuel turbines.
Of course, this second batch of students may not be able to understand.
After all, these people have not yet understood the previous lessons.
But, it doesn’t matter. If you don’t understand something during the day, just write it down and discuss it with others at night.
It doesn't take long to learn about fuel engines. Lu Yuan can finish it in three or four days.
After the lecture, Lu Yuan selected a group of people to build a prototype machine directly in the practical workshop of Qingbei University.
…
In the evening, Lu Yuan had returned to the yard.
He was lying on a recliner with his legs crossed, holding a cattail leaf fan, wearing a white vest, and fanning the cattail leaf fan.
Next to it, a group of gentlemen were playing cards by the light.
This group of people shouted from time to time, and the cicadas chirped on the big trees behind them. The yard was really lively.
"Sister Magnolia, cut a watermelon and eat it."
Lu Yuan shouted while looking at the cards in Kou Yang's hand sitting next to him.
At this time, Yulan girl, who was busy cooking at home, heard Lu Yuan's voice and immediately responded and came out with a watermelon knife.
He walked to the pool, took a large watermelon to the small table next to Lu Yuan, cut it in two, and then cut it into smaller pieces.
Lu Yuan directly picked up a large piece, stood up and started to nibble on the watermelon.
And Miss Yulan handed one piece to Kou Yang next to her.
Kou Yang looked at the watermelon that was handed to him. After being stunned for a moment, he accepted it and looked at Yulan with a smile:
"Hey, I still have mine."
Girl Yulan rolled her eyes at Kou Yang and said:
"Eat yours."
Kou Yang grinned, then grabbed the cards with one hand and started to chew the watermelon with the other.
After giving Kou Yang the watermelon, Miss Yulan looked at Lu Yuan, blinked and said:
"Brother, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Puff puff puff, Lu Yuan spit out three or five watermelon seeds like a pea shooter and said:
"Brother, I won't eat tonight. It's too hot and I have no appetite."
After hearing this, Miss Yulan nodded and said nothing. It was indeed too hot recently.
Not only Lu Yuan didn't like to eat, but everyone else in the family didn't eat much either. They usually just made some porridge to drink at night.
Then Miss Yulan nodded and said:
"Brother, aunt and I will just prepare some porridge. Sister Liyan and Sister Su didn't say they wanted to eat it either.
If brother wants to think of something later, tell me, if you have some at home, I’ll make it with my aunt, if not, I’ll go out and buy it on my bike~”
Lu Yuan said without raising his head while eating watermelon:
"Okay, you can go back."
Puff puff puff, another burst of pea shooters.
Lu Yuan spit out a few watermelon seeds.
At this time, the poker player slowed down a bit, listening to what Miss Yulan said just now.
Everyone looked at Lu Yuan with dark expressions on their faces.
This life of a poor kid is so comfortable! !
The women in this wicked guy's family really circle around this beast every day, and they are so pampered by him that they are loved to the heavens.
In the past, Su Liyan took care of Lu Yuan alone, but now that Su Liyan is pregnant, she no longer takes care of him.
Three more of this good guy came.
Now there are three serving one.
The key point is...
Everyone was even more damn sad when they thought about Lu Yuan's shop.
They all heard this from Gao Xu's mouth.
Isn't this Chen Taohua working in Lu Yuan's shop now?
The Gao family knew everything about the Lu Yuan family's shop, and the Gao Xu family also learned about it from the people in the courtyard.
I heard that there have been too many orders recently, so Lu Yuan built a small wooden house outside the city, bought a dozen sewing machines, and hired a dozen embroiderers.
Lu Yuan's products are now not only worn by people in the Imperial City, but are also sold to other cities.
Many ladies from other cities made a special trip to the Imperial City to buy at Lu Yuan's shop, and they bought more than a dozen items at a time!
Now that the southern railway is about to be opened, there will be more sales.
When you think about how Lu Yuan's family makes thousands of dollars a day, you will be so angry that you can't sleep.
Thousands of dollars a day...
One or two hundred thousand a month...
This...how to spend this? ! !
When everyone was feeling sour in their hearts, a voice came from the door of the courtyard:
"Master."
Um?
After Lu Yuan raised his head and glanced at Liu Shoucai, he continued to bite the watermelon while saying hello:
"Come over and eat watermelon."
Liu Shoucai responded with a smile and hurried over.
Lu Yuan looked at his house again and shouted:
"Yulan, come out with a stool."
After Miss Yulan responded, she quickly put the stool in front of Liu Shoucai and said with a smile:
"Uncle Liu."
After Liu Shoucai nodded with a smile, he took a stool and sat next to Lu Yuan. He put the suitcase aside, picked up a piece of watermelon and looked at Lu Yuan:
"Master, I have gathered all the people from your big house for you."
hold head high?
Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said:
"It's not easy to get these people together."
Liu Shoucai was startled and smiled sheepishly:
"The main thing is that construction is going on everywhere, and we don't have enough veterans here in the Imperial City, so I have recruited a lot of new people.
They are all cucumbers and eggs. Let them do it on their own. If something happens, they have to be carried by someone around them, so they couldn't be called back some time ago.
Now that I have transferred them all back, Master’s yard is definitely filled with the best hands. "
Lu Yuan didn't blame Liu Shoucai, but Liu Shoucai explained it himself.
Actually, Lu Yuan quite regretted this.
Because after the shop made money, Lu Yuan's first idea was to quickly renovate the big house so that he and his wife could live in it.
Besides, I'll see if I can bring my father-in-law over when the time comes.
Although potatoes are planted in the backyard of Lu Yuan's big house, there are two large yards in front. He and his wife live in the middle yard, and his father-in-law lives in the front yard with his mother-in-law.
Isn’t this convenient for taking care of in the future?
Hmm...it's convenient to take care of Lu Yuan.
So that's what I did.
But who would have known that within a month of this announcement, a new city would be planned in the Imperial City.
The plan could not keep up with the changes, so Lu Yuan went directly to prepare the land.
This now includes the one million borrowed from Gu Qingwan, and the monthly income earned by the shop in the future.
The money is just right.
It’s really hard to take out more.
And if it was done according to Lu Yuan's method, the decoration of the large courtyard with three entrances and three exits would cost more than 100,000 yuan. Lu Yuan could not afford this money now.
Anyway, at least within a year, Lu Yuan wouldn't even think about decorating the big house.
After Liu Shoucai finished speaking, Lu Yuan said with some embarrassment:
"Well... let's not let these people go back."
hold head high?
Liu Shoucai looked at Lu Yuan in confusion.
Lu Yuan didn't hide it, and then he laughed and said:
"Isn't this some time ago? All the money was spent, and there is really no money left for decoration."
After Lu Yuan finished speaking.
Everyone in this courtyard has question marks on their faces.
There was a question mark on his face from just now.
Wait a moment?
Lu Yuan bought a yard outside?
Of course, this is nothing. If you think about it for a moment, you can understand that Lu Yuan's shop earns one or two hundred thousand yuan a month.
It is definitely affordable to buy a house outside.
But, what kind of house? You have no money to buy a house?
A house worth five or six hundred thousand?
Still need to redecorate?
Everyone thought that Lu Yuan had no money to buy a house. In fact, Lu Yuan bought land and built a building.
While everyone was confused, Liu Shoucai blinked, then grinned and said:
"Hey, Master, what did I think was going on? Don't worry about this. I'm just here to give you money."
After Liu Shoucai finished speaking, he immediately put down the watermelon in his hand, took the leather box, and opened it.
Everyone around him exclaimed.
It's all red and green, and it's all money.
Immediately, Liu Shoucai handed the leather box to Lu Yuan and said with a smile:
"Master, this is the money from the previous month. In addition, Master, the money for decorating your yard, if you decorate it according to your method, it will be 130,000.
I have already set aside that money, so I don’t have to pass it around.
I'll get the rest of the money for you. "
Lu Yuan was a little confused looking at the money in this batch of boxes.
this? ?
so much? !
In the past, when Liu Shoucai came to give money every month, it was only ten thousand or twenty thousand.
this time?
Is this still 130,000 yuan left?
The minimum amount in this leather box is 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
Lu Yuan looked at Liu Shoucai a little confused.
Lu Yuan's strange look made Liu Shoucai a little puzzled. After blinking, Liu Shoucai said strangely:
"Ah? Master, don't you know about this?"
Lu Yuan said with a question mark on his face:
"What's going on?"
Liu Shoucai blinked his eyes, and just as he was about to say something, he saw everyone in the surrounding yard looking at Lu Yuan and Liu Shoucai in stunned silence.
Then Liu Shoucai leaned into Lu Yuan's ear and whispered:
"Ministry of Works, Master, didn't you tell the Ministry of Works that we can build buildings? The Ministry of Works has too much work in the new city, so they subcontracted some to us."
At this point, Lu Yuan understood and immediately nodded and said:
"Oh~~They really came to find you..."
Lu Yuan started to think about it. When he was having a drink with Director Xu last month, Director Xu said that the new city project was too big and the Ministry of Industry could not complete the requirements within the period.
At that time, Lu Yuan casually said that he had some construction teams here and could subcontract some.
Lu Yuan thought, Liu Shoucai probably didn't have many people in his hands.
Maybe, there are only one or two hundred people, which is probably enough people for a community building.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan suddenly looked at Liu Shoucai with a strange expression and said:
"How many people are there in your construction team?"
Liu Shoucai blinked and said:
"Seven thousand eight hundred people."
Lu Yuan: "???"
The Construction Bureau under the Ministry of Industry doesn't have seven or eight thousand people, right? ?
Lu Yuan said with a question mark on his face:
"Where did you get all these people?"
Liu Shoucai shrugged slightly and said:
“Some time ago, we were running around building fire pits and fire pits for people in major cities in the north, and we also brought local craftsmen over along the way.
They all dispersed to various places some time ago, but now the Ministry of Industry has approved the project for us, and I have called them all back. "
After listening to Liu Shoucai's words, Lu Yuan looked at Liu Shoucai and said with a smile:
"You can do it now. You got so many people unknowingly?"
Liu Shoucai looked at Lu Yuan and chuckled:
"Isn't this all based on what you said, Master? Don't worry, Master, I will definitely not go out within the next six months.
I will supervise the work in Xincheng. When it is almost done, I will take care of other places. I will never embarrass you, Master. "
Lu Yuan still understands Liu Shoucai's character and will never cut corners.
But that's it...
Lu Yuan was a little curious and said:
"If you can make so much money, the Ministry of Industry must subcontract a lot to you, right?"
Liu Shoucai nodded and said:
"Many, the southeast corner and southwest corner have been contracted to us, as well as the park in the city center, and we are also responsible for the renovation of the old city."
Listening to Liu Shoucai's words, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and said:
"Can you come here? Don't take on more work just to make money, and in the end you won't be able to meet the construction deadline."
After listening to Lu Yuan's words, Liu Shoucai grinned and said:
"Master, please rest assured. The Ministry of Works has given us a three-year construction period for these tasks. We can complete them in two years at most.
We all make a living on our own, unlike those in the Construction Bureau who have an iron rice bowl. We can start a year earlier and then take on other jobs.
Master, you don’t know how many people are looking for you in this Di Kanghuo Road. There are so many people. Now I always ask my brother-in-law to find new people outside. "
After listening to Liu Shoucai's words, Lu Yuan grinned.
He worked at the Ministry of Industry for three years, but Liu Shoucai only worked at the Ministry of Industry for two years.
This is the difference between state-owned and private enterprises.
Reform of state-owned units is imperative in the future.
That is, there will probably be a huge wave of layoffs as soon as the reforms are implemented. This must be prepared in advance and a soft landing must be made.
Hearing this, Lu Yuan was in a good mood and stood up directly and said:
"Come on, have a drink with me tonight."
Liu Shoucai closed the suitcase, stood up and followed:
"Okay, Master."
Lu Yuan had just taken two steps when he suddenly turned back and looked at Kou Yang in the stunned crowd behind him and said:
"Come and have a drink too."
Tonight, Lu Yuan planned to clear up the matter between Kou Yang and Yu Lan.
At this time, other people in this courtyard, you look at me, I look at you.
This immoral thing, you deserve to be damned! ! !
…
Xiaoqingshan.
Surrounded by factory buildings one after another.
Ore refinery.
Lu Yuan's ore refiners are placed directly next to the Xiaoqingshan Spiritual Power Mine.
After the spiritual core is produced in this mine, it will be transported directly to these factories by steam train.
When it is refined in these factories, it will become a neat brick style.
It will be transported to the treasury of the Zhou Dynasty.
White steam is rising everywhere, looking like a modern industrial park.
In a warehouse.
Ji Lingxiao and his disciples looked at the spiritual core in this warehouse with astonishment on their faces.
Both of them had faces full of astonishment, unable to believe what they saw.
"These spiritual power cores can be directly used by us after being refined.
Although there are still some impurities, they have been refined a lot.
If our disciples can use this refined spiritual power core to assist in their cultivation, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort! ! "
The disciple said with astonishment on his face.
And next to him, even Ji Lingxiao, who had a bone age of 36,000 years, seemed to have seen a ghost.
Is this really something created by a low-level dynasty? !

Thank you to Brother Xuanhua Liluo and Brother India for the 100 book coins reward. Thank you very much~
