"Well, early".

Yan Lu nodded, stood by the door of the bathroom where Lu Yuan brushed his teeth, her face was full of shame, and she didn't go to the ladies' bathroom to freshen up, and pursed her lips and snickered.

Lu Yuan saw Yan Lu standing next to him, but he was also absent-minded about brushing his toothbrush, and asked, "How was your rest last night?"

"It's ok. ”

Yan Lu replied, her eyes were full of waves, and her hands were kneading the nightdress, still shy.

"Then you hurry up and freshen up for breakfast, I have Michelin chef service here that should get your day off to a great start." ”

Lu Yuan said.

Yan Lu raised her eyes in surprise: "Don't you have anything else to say?"

"Do you really want to say it now?"

Lu Yuan became a little nervous.

"Uh-huh, I want to know, I'd love to know. ”

Yan Lu nodded.

Lu Yuan looked at Yan Lu's eyes and said, "I like you." ”

Yan Lu couldn't help but laugh happily, and then the more she laughed, the happier she became, pursing her lips and laughing, and suddenly covering her mouth and laughing.

Lu Yuan himself took a long breath and asked cautiously, "What about you?"

"Didn't I tell you a few times, you still have to ask. ”

With that, Yan Lu ran back to her room, closed the door, secretly glanced behind the door, and touched her hot face.

Lu Yuan laughed unconsciously.

From the time Yan Lu took the initiative to invite him to send him home, Lu Yuan already had a feeling that he was also needed, and began to have a good impression of Yan Lu, after all, he had low self-esteem, he never felt that he was worthy of being praised by others, and now there was a girl who needed to be sent by him, and he had a feeling of being affirmed.

Later, Yan Lu took the initiative to let Lu Yuan accompany her to celebrate her birthday and eat hot pot together, and Lu Yuan experienced a feeling that he would also be treated as a friend by the opposite sex, and this had nothing to do with money or any interests.

Lu Yuan likes this kind of purity, and he is easily moved by this kind of pure interaction.

However, Lu Yuan only had a good impression of Yan Lu at that time.

Later, Yan Lu's reprimand for him, the kind of remarks that seemed to say Lu Yuan's heartfelt words, made Lu Yuan feel that this was a girl who knew him very well, and it was from that time that Lu Yuan had a sense of liking Yan Lu.

But Lu Yuan has to admit that his world is not as simple as before, and he is not so perfect, because he can't help but have a relationship with Sister Qian, which caused him not to agree to Yan Lu's confession, and later, he was even more out of control, uninhibited, and had a great feeling of not deserving of Yan Lu.

But when Yan Lu took the initiative to invite, he still couldn't resist the comfort of wanting to be with Yan Lu, and he also found many reasons, the time when there were only two people in the mountain city together, he and Yan Lu felt very happy, and he couldn't help but say something like "we are together".

Lu Yuan still remembered what Yan Lu said to him, which made him remember it vividly, that is, "Don't have any lies between us, okay", although Lu Yuan said at the time, "No, you are not qualified to ask me to do this", but this does not mean that Lu Yuan was not deeply touched by this sentence at that time.

Lu Yuan likes this kind of simple relationship between the sexes and does not hide from each other.

Because of this, although Lu Yuan didn't agree at the time, in fact, he never Yan Lu asked him anything and lied to Yan Lu from time to time, for example, after he had a relationship with Sister Qian for the first time, Yan Lu suddenly confessed to him, and he didn't act that nothing had happened between himself and Sister Qian, and lied to Yan Lu that he was willing to give up everything and be with him.

Lu Yuan also found that Yan Lu had never hidden anything from her from beginning to end, she had always asked him out when she wanted to, and she could say whatever she wanted.

Last night, Lu Yuan really kissed Yan Lu involuntarily.

Lu Yuan knew that he couldn't just act as if this hadn't happened, he couldn't be irresponsible, and he couldn't avoid his relationship with Yan Lu, so he directly said his true words.

And because of this, Lu Yuan felt relaxed.

Ten minutes later, Lu Yuan came to Yan Lu's room and knocked on the door: "Have you breakfast, if you don't eat, I'll eat first." ”

After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he came to his restaurant, ready to sit down and eat breakfast.

Yan Lu also felt a little hungry in her stomach, and hurriedly opened the door: "I want to eat!"

But as soon as she opened the door, she noticed herself in the mirror, hurriedly closed the door again, then hurriedly opened the suitcase, quickly took out the cosmetics, and began to dress up the already beautiful face in the makeup mirror, and then began to choose clothes, skirts, pants and clothes were thrown by her, and finally after making sure that she was beautiful enough to overwhelm the crowd, she squeezed out a smile and opened the door, and walked out elegantly and shyly: "Where are we going today?"

"Huh, what about people?"

But at this time, Yan Lu saw that the villa was empty.

At this time, a Filipino maid came over: "Miss Yan, hello, Mr. has already finished eating and went out early half an hour ago, he asked me to remind you, remember to eat breakfast, in addition, he is going to Wenji Kingdom next, if you want to know his itinerary, you can ask Miss Su Yuqing." ”

"Oh, okay, thanks. ”

Yan Lu pursed her lips, showing a slightly disappointed look, thinking that she had been preparing in it for half an hour, and she should not wear makeup for so long next time, and then asked the Filipino maid: "What kind of breakfast did Mr. Lu eat in the morning, and then give me a new one." ”

"Okay, Miss Yan. ”

The Filipino maid replied.

After a while, Yan Lu saw the breakfast in front of him and said with a smile: "It turns out that he likes to eat this." ”

……

"Governor, this was the former head of the Zhang Siwei family's steward, named Gongsun Ye, for the Zhang family for many years, and then because his daughter was going to be forced to marry by the master of Zhang's house, and this master is extremely ugly, this Gongsun Ye escaped with his daughter, relying on some of the old books accumulated over the years to escape to the mountains of western Zhejiang to run a timber business. ”

At this time, in Yuqiu Mountain in the world of the Ming Dynasty, Yan Jian Sheng was introducing an old man in a cloth robe to Lu Yuan, and after the introduction, he said, "Gongsun Ye, haven't you seen our governor soon?"

"Gongsun Ye has seen the governor", Gongsun Ye saw that Lu Yuan had short hair and was wearing strange clothes, so he was naturally very surprised, and he was out of his mind, and only came back to his senses after being reminded by the strict prison guard, and gave Lu Yuan a salute.

"You can really explore the quality of iron ore, and you can also mine?"

Lu Yuan asked.

Although Lu Yuan and Su Yuqing have also learned a lot about iron ore exploration these days, Lu Yuan still found a capable person who can prospect and open ore to see the advantages and disadvantages of the iron ore rewarded by the system for him.

"Returning to the Governor, the small will naturally will, and the small dare to assert that the mountain in front of him is an open-pit iron mine, which is very easy to mine, and the iron ore will be of high quality, and the iron smelted is comparable to that of cycads. ”

After hearing this, Lu Yuan and Su Yuqing looked at each other and smiled.

As far as Lu Yuan knows, the iron mine that the system is now rewarding him is indeed an open-pit iron mine, and he also knows that the grade of this mine is as high as more than 40 percent, and most of it is easy-to-select magnetite, with reserves of no less than one billion tons.

Therefore, Lu Yuan had to admit that this Gongsun Ye had some skills in mining operations, and Yan Jiansheng obviously did not deceive him.

"That being the case, Yuqing, you arrange for him to be in charge of mining and establish the mining industry in Hu'an Town as soon as possible, so as to lay a solid foundation for the completion of the construction of the military base. ”

Lu Yuan said a word to Su Yuqing, and then talked with this Gongsun Ye for a while, and studied his thoughts on mining for a while.

Next, Su Yuqing began to prepare for this matter, and immediately appointed Gongsun Ye as the head of the Mining Bureau of the Governor's Mansion to be responsible for opening iron mines.

Gongsun Ye was also very conscientious, and immediately started his own mining work after getting the money and the house assignment, and every day he was training a group of people in Hu'an Town who were hired to become miners how to open mines.

A few days later, when Lu Yuan came to Yuqiu Mountain again, he had already seen many miners under the leadership of Gongsun Ye, burning fires everywhere in the mountains and pouring cold water, using the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction to open mines.

"There were no high explosives, and now they can only do that. ”

Su Yuqing, who followed behind Lu Yuan, couldn't help but say.

"The Dujiangyan project is also carried out in this way, and it can be seen from this that Gongsun Ye is indeed a professional in this era. ”

As he spoke, Lu Yuan asked Su Yuqing: "How is the construction of the iron plant now?"

"The iron factory has already started to make iron, because the process of making the barrel and making the spring with high-carbon steel is relatively slow, basically it takes two months to make a gun, so the production volume of the iron factory can now keep up with the speed of making flintlock pistols, and now with the Yuqiu Mountain iron mine, we don't even need to buy iron ore from the outside world. ”

Su Yuqing replied.

"It seems that the most important thing is to expand the scale of production of flintlock pistols made by the Ordnance Bureau, and at the same time improve the production efficiency. ”

Prior to this, Su Yuqing had renamed the arsenal as the Ordnance Bureau, and the Ordnance Bureau had jurisdiction over gun factories, gunpowder factories, artillery factories, and machinery factories.

However, Lu Yuan personally reviewed the entire content of the Ministry of the Interior's reform of the internal system, so he also knew that the Ordnance Bureau had now replaced the name Arsenal.

"That's right, I've set up an Academy of Sciences in the Governor's Mansion to study how to improve the corresponding production technology, but it's just an empty brand now, because there is a serious shortage of technical personnel, and the current five blacksmiths and ten apprentices of the Ordnance Bureau are too busy to spare time for research and development. ”

Su Yuqing replied.

Lu Yuan nodded and smiled at her: "Don't worry, take your time, you and I are young." ”

"However, what Xiao Ying said is right, we have to hurry up, and we have to establish a complete military industrial system and defense system as soon as possible before the Ming Dynasty government discovers us. ”

Su Yuqing said.

"But you can't be anxious because of this, it's really not good, expand the scale first, and then find a way to improve the production technology later, and make a flintlock pistol in two months, which is about the same as the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty craftsmen to make bird guns, but our firearm technology is higher than theirs, and it is still better than them. ”

After Lu Yuan spoke, he followed the sound and listened to the sound of hammers from the valley in front of him.

"Well, I have asked Yan Jian Sheng to find a way to recruit blacksmiths and other craftsmen outside, recruit at a high price, I have already mentioned two taels of monthly silver, and it is impossible for the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty who are regarded as lowly occupations to pay class craftsman silver. ”

Su Yuqing said and said: "However, what I don't understand is why this Gongsun Ye, as a domestic slave of the Shoufu family, can also open iron mines, isn't the Ming Dynasty's minerals the private property of the emperor, how can the gentry also mine them." ”

"It stands to reason that this is the case, but after the change of the Ming Dynasty's civil fort, the social status of the Ming Dynasty gentry increased greatly, and it was very common to open mines and do business, otherwise the current Wanli Emperor would not collect mining taxes later, but these minerals will be mine in the future, so what Zhang Siwei's family has to spit out the minerals they mined to me. ”

Lu Yuan smiled as he spoke.

Seeing this, Su Yuqing was silent for a while, and then pulled her hair behind her ears, looked at Lu Yuan, and said, "Do you know that you are particularly cold now?"

"I'm a cold person, and you don't know it. ”

Lu Yuan smiled and asked again, "Is the food, gold and silver enough?"

"Gold and silver are enough, at that time, you washed Hu'an Town in blood, and after confiscating Tang, Sun, Gong and other squires, you got a lot of gold and silver, and now you can support it for a period of time, but the food is estimated to be almost insufficient, especially after the year, in order not to affect the progress of industrial and civil engineering projects of the Ordnance Bureau, the Mining Bureau and the Engineering Bureau, many people in Hu'an Town have to turn into professional workers who receive wages and eat food, and the number of farmers will decrease, but the number of people with public grain will increase. ”

Su Yuqing replied.

"It seems that we have to open up tax sources, increase food and population, to put it bluntly, we have to take the initiative to expand externally, and we can't wait for the Ming court to take the initiative to attack us. ”

Lu Yuan said.

Su Yuqing nodded: "That's right, no wonder the book says that once the industrial revolution begins, the pace of external expansion cannot be stopped, although we haven't started the steam industrial revolution yet, but industrialization has already begun." ”

As she spoke, Su Yuqing smiled, shook her slender and white arms, and turned her thin waist back and forth with the swing of her arms, and then, looking back at Lu Yuan, revealing a pair of pear vortexes: "I now think it's quite interesting to engage in industry in the world of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Lu Yuan saw that she was charming and elegant, and wanted to reach out and touch her chin and kiss her red lips, but he still took his hand back and said with a smile: "You have grown a lot in historical knowledge now, and you also know what the industrial revolution is, but in the future, we can try to engage in the steam industrial revolution, maybe the steam industrial revolution in this world will appear in China first." ”

Su Yuqing had already raised her jade neck, closed her eyes, and waited for Lu Yuan to come to kiss her, but when she saw that he restrained herself, she just smiled gently: "Yes, maybe we can really change the world here." ”

"Prepare to hold a governor's meeting to discuss when to take the initiative to attack the Ming Dynasty. ”

Lu Yuan said, "I'll go back to the real world of the city first, and Nu Wei of the Wenji Kingdom is waiting for me to form a cabinet." ”

As he spoke, Lu Yuan was about to go down the mountain.

But Su Yuqing suddenly stopped him: "Wait a while." ”

"Is there anything else?"

Lu Yuan didn't dare to look her eyes and asked.

Su Yuqing pursed her lips, let go of Lu Yuan's hand, and stroked her hair: "Why, you don't dare to look at me now, you also want to kiss me just now but don't dare to kiss me?"
