Chapter 219: Signing in to reward an iron mine
Located in a small hill on the lower reaches of the Yuqing River in Hu'an Town, five rows of bungalows have been built on the bank of a valley.
Each row of bungalows is a firearms workshop.
Five of the only seven blacksmiths in Hu'an Town were assigned here to be assigned as quasi-technicians of the Ordnance Bureau under the Ministry of the Interior of the Governor's Palace, responsible for making firearms.
Each of the five prospective technicians has two apprentices, who take turns to receive on-site instruction in firearms making and hands-on.
"The iron plate with a spherical hammer is hammered out of the groove on the U-shaped mold, and then the barrel is knocked out with a concave hammer, and then the prismatic shape is hammered out with a plane hammer, and then the barrel is drilled smooth with a hand-cranked machine tool bit, and then the surface of the barrel is beaten evenly with a plane hammer, and finally the file is smooth, and the screw is carved out at the tail, and then the screw is put on to make a barrel, and the rest of the other parts are also installed separately, and only a flintlock pistol can be made. ”
Su Yuqing came here with a group of officials at this time, and said to Lu Yuan pointing to a Lu Yuan who was tapping on the iron plate.
After hearing this, Lu Yuan also nodded: "Although it seems that the process is very slow, it is not easy for you to make them do this step, now we need more craftsmen, when will these apprentices be able to graduate?"
"It can be as short as a month, as long as three months. ”
Su Yuqing replied.
"We still have to increase the number of apprentices, set up a bonus incentive policy, teach fast and learn quickly, both teachers and students will give generous rewards, in addition, we have to find a way to hire more craftsmen or apprentices on the mainland, so that we can also establish a production scale as soon as possible." ”
As he spoke, Lu Yuan squatted on a pebble by the valley, looked at the people of Hu'an Town who were still working hard in the distance, and couldn't help but ask Su Yuqing: "If it is freezing today, the farming has long ended, what are they doing?"
"I let them build an iron-making furnace, these people are idle, in winter, the food consumption is large, many people have to starve, the town wants to take out public grain to help them, rather than this, it is better to work for relief, let them participate in the construction of the project at this time, these five rows of bungalows, also let them build, although each person only has three full meals, but the enthusiasm is very high, and they all read well, saying that you don't want them to be hungry, so you want to use this method to let them eat enough,"
Su Yuqing replied.
"That's a good idea, but will you build an iron-making furnace?"
Lu Yuan nodded and asked.
Su Yuqing replied: "I looked at the relevant methods of steelmaking, first let them use the simplest crucible steelmaking furnace to make high-carbon steel, this is not difficult, it is nothing more than firing the crucible and taking graphite, but the important thing is the graphite raw materials, I checked the information, said that Shandong graphite ore resources are rich, but at the moment we are not in Shandong, so if you want to expand the scale of the arsenal in the future, you have to find a way to go outside to engage in graphite, and even iron ore and copper ore." ”
"You can go the way of business, you talk to Yan Jiansheng and let him take charge of this matter. ”
Lu Yuan left here as he spoke, returning to the urban world.
Today, Luyuan's Cangwu Island can be said to be a large construction site, with mixer trucks and excavators everywhere, and there are as many engineering trucks as there are ants on the island, and many are even being transported by freighters.
More than 10,000 tons of cargo ships and large cruise ships were moored in Haicheng Port, and countless containers were hoisted down.
Yan Lu, the big boss behind these freighters and cruise ships, came to the port surrounded by a group of executives, and one of them, a middle-aged man wearing a windbreaker with a cigar in his mouth walked up and laughed:
"Miss Yan, no wonder your father asked me to come to you to do things, the big boss Lu who is partnered with you is a person who really does big things, look at this big construction site, I don't know how many batches of goods have been swallowed, but for the construction needs of this Cangwu Island, it is still not enough, tsk, just relying on this Cangwu Island, we can eat for more than ten years. ”
"Mr. Lei, our boss doesn't like to smoke. ”
At this time, a secretary beside Yan Lu stepped forward to say a word.
"Yes! ”
Mr. Lei put away the cigar cigarette as he spoke, and asked with a smile on his face: "Miss Yan, I don't know who this Boss Lu is, can you help me introduce me, I'm doing things for you now, right?"
"He is. ”
Yan Lu pointed to Lu Yuan, who was meeting Nu Wei in front of a Land Rover at this time, and then ran over: "Lu Yuan!"
When Lu Yuan looked back, he saw that it was Yan Lu, so he couldn't help but smile and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'll come and see your big construction site, what about Su Yuqing, isn't she in charge of this big construction site?"
Yan Lu asked, and looked around.
Lu Yuan knew that Yan Lu was not worried about being alone with Su Yuqing, and he also knew that the big construction site she was talking about was his own Cangwu Island, so he replied with a smile: "She is busier than me, and she has more things to take care of, what, are you looking for her?"
"No, I'll just ask, I'm also very busy now, helping you transport goods and collect rent every day, and I'm also running all over the world, and I don't have time to see you. ”
Yan Lu replied with a smile, and looked at Nu Wei: "Who is he?"
"Sister-in-law, hello, I am Nu Wei, and I am also the king of the Wenji Kingdom, I have just taken office, now that my country has been unified, according to Chapter 0 of the new constitution, I will officially appoint my boss, that is, your husband Lu Yuan, as the first assistant of the cabinet of my Wenji Kingdom, and you will also become the first assistant wife of my Wenji Kingdom. ”
Nu Wei regarded Yan Lu as Lu Yuan's girlfriend or wife, and also greeted him directly.
King Nuvi of the Kingdom of Wenji?
Yan Lu was stunned for a moment, and finally laughed: "I know, I know, I heard your name on the new 0 news 0 broadcast, but he is not a husband yet, but I am curious, how did he become your cabinet chief, what does the cabinet first assistant mean?"
"The first assistant of the cabinet is equivalent to the prime minister, which is the new official system formulated by the Wenji Kingdom, and the first assistant has full powers to form a cabinet, and is responsible for all military and political affairs of the country during his tenure, and implements a dual constitutional monarchy. ”
Lu Yuan replied for Nuvi.
Yan Lu nodded, a little incredulous: "Is that the case?"
"Yes, I came today to invite the boss to Wenji to form a cabinet. ”
Nuvi said, "Because if it weren't for the boss, my country might still be in a state of war. ”
Yan Lu glanced at Lu Yuan, she didn't expect Lu Yuan to know the king of a country, and even according to the king's will, Lu Yuan also saved the country.
Mr. Lei, who was traveling with him, was also surprised, and his eyes widened: "This is too incredible! This Mr. Lu is so young, and he is actually the boss of the king of a country, and he also wants to be the military and political head of a country, which is equivalent to in Huaxia? I can't imagine it!"
"Mr. Lu, no, Grandpa Lu, hello, I'm Lei Mingshan, the CEO of the Far Away International Transportation Company under your name, I don't know if the country you are currently ruling in accepts immigrants?"
At this time, Mr. Lei took the initiative to come to the front, introduced himself to Lu Yuan, and submitted an immigration application.
"Hello, since you are a distant international transport company, you need to consult the Ministry of the Interior. ”
Lu Yuan said a word, and called Yan Lu over: "You came just in time, I was just about to tell you, it is best to expand the international transportation in the future, and the import and export trade of the Wenji Kingdom will also need the participation of the distant international in the future, in addition, now Cangwu Island also needs railway technology, especially high-speed rail technology, I hope that the distant international that plays a role in international trade and transportation can buy these things! I can't always let my engineering vehicles walk on dirt roads and kick up dust." ”
"It's windy, stop now!"
At this time, a high voice sounded in Lu Yuan's ears from nowhere, and Lu Yuan immediately pulled Yan Lu into the car, and suddenly, the yellow sand swept in the sky, dyeing the black Land Rover car into an earthy yellow.
Yan Lu, who was sitting in the car, was still full of sand because she didn't have time to close the window, and Lu Yuan was the same.
"Are you alright?"
Yan Lu coughed and asked Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan looked at her dusty sunglasses and red lips sticked to the loess, and replied: "I'm fine, but you, it's better to put on makeup again!"
Yan Lu took out the mirror and looked at it: "Ah, have you become a yellow-faced woman, will you dislike me anymore, what should I do." ”
As he spoke, Yan Lu looked at Lu Yuan, who had a dirty face: "Hahaha, you are the same as me." ”
Lu Yuan smiled slightly: "Now they are all dirt roads dug temporarily, and the roads are still under construction, but it is better to have a railway to be more convenient." ”
"I know, don't worry, I'll tell my dad and let him find a way to match you with companies in this area. ”
Yan Lu replied, looked at Lu Yuan again, and said, "The wind has passed, let's go find a place to wash our faces." ”
"I'll take you to the Blue Sky Peninsula, where there is an Neihu Peninsula, which has been fully developed within five kilometers around, and several villas have been built, which is the powerful settlement area of Harbour City in the future, and I myself have purchased one here, you come with me." ”
With that, Lu Yuan waited for his staff to wipe the windshield of his Land Rover and drove directly to an unfinished section of the road, and then came to an emerald lake, and then entered the villa area he said.
Lu Yuan and Yan Lu took a bath and changed their clothes, and then they each lay on the bench by the lake to bathe in the breeze.
"You are developing such a big island now, you are investing money everywhere, building roads and bridges, reservoirs, factories, drainage systems, etc., do you need to apply for a loan, do you want me to ask my father to help you? ”
Yan Lu asked at this time.
"Not for the time being, my capital is still enough, after all, I now have shares in many Fortune 500 companies, and there are a lot of dividends every year, these dividends, and now they can still support me to do these things, and I am basically doing these things with my left hand and right hand, both Party A and Party B, so to speak, this island is ostensibly I am engaged in construction, in fact, the working people of the world are engaged in construction for me. ”
Lu Yuan said with a smile.
"I know, you're rich right now, and they all say you're the second Buffett, but I feel like you're even richer than Buffett. ”
Yan Lu said with a smile, and sighed: "However, I would never have thought that one day you would have such a big career, and the person I like would have such a big career, I thought you would be very simple." ”
"I also thought that my own life would be very simple, but I have to admit that fate has made me a role I never expected, and you are not the same, and now you are not the simple rich girl you were at the beginning, but the boss of a large company with tens of thousands of employees and tens of billions of capital, although you are your father to help you, but your role has indeed changed. ”
Lu Yuan said.
"You're right, we're not that simple, but I still hope that we'll all be happy and happy in the future, just like now, although we are busy with each other, we can also find such a quiet place on this big construction site, and we can steal half a day of leisure. ”
Yan Lu shook her white calves as she spoke, and then stretched out her hands to the blue sky where the leaves were crossed: "How about we have a drink and relax, anyway, it's getting late, and the day's work is over." ”
"Yes!"
Lu Yuan snapped his fingers, and not long after, a Filipino maid came over: "Sir, what are your orders?"
Now Lu Yuan is recruiting all kinds of talents around the world, and these talents are naturally indispensable to the world-famous Filipino maids, and now he is in the villa here, and there are several Filipino maids serving his life.
Lu Yuan said, "Go get two wine glasses, and then bring the bottle of Nieke Diamond XO brandy that I put here." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
Soon, the Filipino maid agreed.
Yan Lu smiled when she saw this: "It's still comfortable to be a capitalist, even if it's like my father, you can't be as comfortable as you are now." ”
Lu Yuan smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
After a while, the two of them drank wine.
For a while, Lu Yuan and Yan Lu were drunk and hazy, and they only felt that the world was spinning, but they still looked at each other and smirked.
I don't know what time it was, Lu Yuan saw that it was getting late, so he sat up and pulled Yan Lu up: "Go back to the house and rest, it's starting to cool down outside." ”
"Hmm", Yan Lu nodded.
And Lu Yuan saw that her red lips were delicate, so he couldn't help but hug her waist for a while, and then kissed her.
Yan Lu couldn't help but open her eyes wide.
Lu Yuan was also a little unsteady on his feet, and after kissing Yan Lu, he fell back into the chair: "Forget it, you can go back to the house by yourself, my head is groggy, you have to take it slowly." ”
"Oh".
Yan Lu was kissed by Lu Yuan just now, and she was so frightened that she recovered her expression, but it was not so unclear, she hurriedly pursed her lips and went back to the house, then lay in the quilt, looked at the ceiling, touched her hot face, and said, "He kissed me just now, why did he kiss me?"
A cool breeze blew Lu Yuan excitedly, he came back to his senses, and then returned to his house, and after getting up early the next morning, he had forgotten most of what happened yesterday.
"The sign-in was successful, and the owner signed in to get an iron mine, which is located in Yuqiu Mountain, ten miles south of Hu'an Town. ”
Lu Yuan was quite surprised, and sat up hurriedly, thinking that this is really good, with iron ore, it can undoubtedly speed up the construction of the arsenal.
As soon as he thought of this, Lu Yuan hurriedly got up, and then he saw Yan Lu coming out with messy hair.
"Morning!"
Lu Yuan said a word and went directly to the bathroom to freshen up first.
