Zhuang Bifan then explained: "If you don't count as a backhand, it should be considered a first." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWhen I was talking to him about cooperation, I hadn't eaten the ambitions of the North Rail Group. Didn't I have a plan for water transportation? Looking back now, there were so many aspects involved in that plan that it might not really be able to be a network. If the water transport project can be completed in the south, it will be no problem to connect with the logistics network on other land, and occupy a place in the logistics market in the entire south. ”

Sima Yun nodded and said, "Water transportation is too restricted by geographical factors. Earlier you said that Aurora Island can provide boats and shallow rivers can be navigated, but many rivers in the north do not even have docks. Moreover, due to the influence of the rivers and topography of China, many waterways are actually not smooth. Especially some tributaries, there are too many dams. And most of them have no locks, and navigation is greatly restricted. ”

"You're right. Zhuang Bifan said with a wry smile. "Aurora Island can provide high-speed boats, but boats are not available. The dock or something, it's also a very troublesome thing. ”

Only a few small cities are managed by the government, and most of the rest are privately owned. It was not easy for him to build docks at these piers for high-speed trimarans.

Sima Yun thought for a moment and said, "Do you want to give up that plan? That's really a pity." I also thought that if there was a way to open up the route of the Grand Canal, it would be equivalent to sending the logistics of the Northern Railway south to Hangzhou. ”

Zhuang Bifan listened to her words and said with a smile: "We have thought of a piece, I also thought about dredging the Grand Canal, and I also mentioned it to Ming Ziluo." It's just that I not only want to dredge the Grand Canal, but also intend to restore the navigability of the Yellow River. ”

The Grand Canal is also in this world. And it was opened hundreds of years before his world. The route of this canal is different from the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in that world, but similar to the predecessor of that canal.

The southern end of the canal still connects Hangzhou with the Qiantang River, and the northern end still passes through Beiping, and then continues north to Liaokou, a city on the bank of the Liaohe River. And in the middle is the equivalent of the world. It then passed through the Yellow River and Weishui to Longzhou, the capital of the Chinese Empire in what is now the world.

Perhaps Sima Yun's idea was to use a railway network that would reach the Huai River and then connect the southern section of the canal. He didn't know that he could actually rely on Aurora Island to make the Grand Canal fully navigable.

When Sima Yun heard him say that the navigation of the Yellow River should be restored, he couldn't help but say: "The biggest problem of the Yellow River is the lack of water, and the downstream flow is cut off for most of the year. It is unlikely to be possible to restore it to navigation. ”

"Have you forgotten that Aurora Island has space technology? I plan to use that technology to increase the runoff of the Yellow River, and then restore the Loess Plateau to vegetation and conserve water and soil. It should be possible to guarantee the runoff of the Yellow River. ”

"Isn't it a bit extravagant to guarantee the water volume of the Yellow River at such a large cost?" Because the Yellow River is the main water-taking river in the east and north, it needs a lot of water to support hundreds of millions of people.

Zhuang Bifan smiled mysteriously and said, "There are some things that don't need to be costed. The implications of controlling a river that feeds hundreds of millions of people are enormous. ”

Sima Yun is not stupid. Indeed, even if there is no gain, if you control the water volume of the Yellow River, you can gain the confidence to gain a foothold in the Chinese Empire. That's not an opportunity that you can get with money.

After breakfast the next morning, Zhuang Bifan took Sima Yun to the construction site of the new building of the Zhuang family to have a look, but there was nothing to see. The piling was still being driven on the construction site, and he just talked to the engineer at the construction site, knowing that the project was progressing normally and did not interfere too much.

In fact, he has already paid a relatively high price, so that the construction team can work on multiple pile drivers at the same time, and the construction progress can be accelerated in the future. He plans to let his family move out by this fall. As long as it can be completed on time.

He also took Sima Yun to Mo Tong's shop.

It is well known to everyone that he was hacked on the Internet before.

Zhuang Bifan bought the homestead and built a house for Qian Zhuang Yuancheng, which made her feel a lot better for Zhuang Bifan. As a relative, Mo Tong also cared about him and Sima Yun. It's just that she doesn't think Zhuang Bifan and Sima Yun can be together.

This will see the two of them appear in front of her hand in hand, and think of the previous news. She knew that the two of them were really back together again.

Although Mo Tong was cold to herself before, Zhuang Bifan knew that it was because her previous attitude towards Zhuang Yuancheng made her feel bad for herself. In his heart, he still recognizes this relative. Before, their family environment was not good, but now it is obviously better, this little cousin behaves the same before and after, which is very different from other relatives.

He invited Mo Tong to bring Zhuang Xiaolong, who had already finished school, over for a meal together. Mo Tong did not refuse, and she did not have any previous dissatisfaction with this cousin who was not related by blood. And Sima Yun is by her side, even if she is dissatisfied with Zhuang Bifan, she will not show it.

They went to the restaurant to eat, but Wei Dalong rushed to hear the news and had to eat together. At the dinner table, Zhuang Bifan introduced Mo Tong to Wei Dalong and said, "This is my little cousin." She opened a clothing store in the county seat, and asked Mr. Wei to take care of her in the future. ”

Although Wei Dalong has been whitewashed, he will definitely control Huaining's underworld, and he also mentioned it by the way when he has a chance. lest Mo Tong's shop be harassed by thugs or something.

Wei Dalong patted his chest and responded: "Mr. Zhuang doesn't need to explain, I will also guarantee that no one in Miss Mo's store will dare to come to the door to make trouble." He thought in his heart that he had to go back and ask his subordinates if anyone had not taken a long time to collect Mo Tong's protection money. If there is, it will be returned twice, so as not to make Zhuang Bifan unhappy.

After eating, Mo Tong was still a little worried on the way back to the store, and couldn't help but talk a lot: "Bifan, it stands to reason that I shouldn't talk too much, but Brother Dao, you'd better not have too much contact with him." He's a gangster. You have to think more about your cousin-in-law and Xiaolong Xiaoning. ”

Zhuang Bifan didn't explain too much, only nodded in response.

After saying goodbye to Mo Tong, the two hurried to Yilong Town. In an hour or so, they arrived in Yilong. As the car drove into the compound, some people who were about to go to work greeted him with a smile when they saw him get out of the car, and jokingly asked him when he was going to drink the wedding wine. In the past, these neighbors may have greeted each other, but many people said behind their backs that he was a white-eyed wolf and a drag bottle.

But that's all in the past, and he's not a second-year kid, so he didn't think about bothering with these people. After dealing with these people, he was going upstairs with Sima Yun, and met Zhuang Xiaoning who was carrying a schoolbag to school at the entrance of the building.

When Zhuang Xiaoning saw them, he rushed over in surprise and shouted, "Ah, Sister Sima, you're here!"

"Xiaoning, this is going to school?"

"Hmm. Zhuang Xiaoning nodded and said. "Sister, have you eaten? I'll go up and give it to you. ”

Zhuang Bifan saw her pull Sima Yun to turn around and want to go back, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, you go to school first." We came back after dinner. ”

Zhuang Xiaoning seemed to see him just now, turned around and stuck out his tongue at him, and said, "That's it." Then I'll go to school first. She trotted out a few steps and suddenly stopped and turned back to ask. "Big brother, Sister Sima will stay at home tonight!"

"Hmm. If you don't leave, you'll be late. Watch the car on the road!"

"Don't be afraid, the school is not far away. Although Zhuang Xiaoning said so, he still trotted away.

In the evening, in addition to Zhuang Xiaolong, who is in high school in the county seat, the family is also together. Sima Yun came to the house again, and Qi Yun completely let go of her son and her affairs in her heart. She pulled Sima Yun to talk to a woman, and Zhuang Yuancheng asked Zhuang Bifan to go to the room.

"Xiaofan, now things have taken a turn for the better. I will keep the money you gave me. You need money to do business now, I'll pay it back to you. ”

Last time, Zhuang Bifan used the excuse that he was worried that his business might fail, and put 100 million in Zhuang Yuancheng's account. Zhuang Yuancheng thought that he also wanted to leave a way back for the child, so he agreed. But now that he heard that the Sima family no longer objected to the matter of his adopted son and Sima Yun, he thought that the matter had been resolved.

And since he learned that his dealer bought land and built a house in the county seat, some relatives came to borrow money. He was worried that he would lend the money to others if he was soft-hearted, and he would not be able to explain it to Zhuang Bifan.

Zhuang Bifan is not short of that 100 million now. He smiled and refused, saying, "Dad, you can keep this money." I don't need much capital for my current business. You can use the money with confidence. ”

"Well, how much money can I use? ”

"Dad. Listen to me. As for the money, I'll put it here for you. Maybe my business will fail in the future, and I'll have to come back to gnaw on your old man. ”

"What nonsense. Doing business is certainly thriving. Zhuang Yuancheng saw that he insisted, and thought that what his adopted son said was also a possibility. I have some money at home, so I can keep it back when I really need it. "Okay, I'll save it first. ”

"Don't keep it. Money is not money when it is saved. Zhuang Bifan said with a smile. "Dad, don't really worry about running out of money. I can give you 100 million, and I can earn another 200 million for myself. You can use this money with confidence. ”

Although Zhuang Yuancheng knew that this adopted son was promising, he didn't know how much money Zhuang Bifan had now. In fact, only those who have a heart and a certain amount of energy know how much money Zhuang Bifan has. So he only thought that his adopted son wanted him to use that money with peace of mind to blow this atmosphere. But he didn't preach, nodded and said, "That's good." I'll use it. ”

It's just that he still thinks that the money belongs to Zhuang Bifan, and if there is an urgent need for money in the family, discuss it with his adopted son and use it. But you should never lend it to relatives or anything on your own.

Zhuang Bifan looked at him and knew that he would not be of great use. But as long as it's still with him. This money was originally for him and Qi Yun's pocket money, but now he doesn't need it, and he will use it when they are older.

In the morning he has a habit of exercising. Early the next morning, he got out of the entanglement with Sima Yun's hands and feet, let Sima Yun, who was woken up by him, sleep for a while, he changed into sportswear, washed up and went out for a run with his mobile phone.

It was not yet full dawn before he had already run for an hour. After almost going around the town for a few weeks, the distance was about fifteen or sixteen kilometers, and he was just sweating a little and getting hot. But this amount of exercise is about the same.

He found a place to rest for a while, ready to fight for a while after his breathing had calmed down, and then go back to breakfast. Taking advantage of the break, he took out his mobile phone, and after unlocking it, he saw that there were dozens of new messages from Aurora Island. Aurora doesn't usually message him late at night, or doesn't send him an unsolicited message easily. He saw so much faith that he thought something big was happening on Aurora Island.

Hurriedly clicked on it, and the first one made him frown.

Aurora Island has once again received a signal from a suspected alien to detect the Earth, and this time the frequency and characteristics of the signal are different from the last time.

"Suspected to be a detection signal from another advanced civilization. These are the exact words of the message from Aurora Island.
