The western suburbs of the capital, thirty miles outside the Fucheng Gate.

Nowadays, this can be described as a big change, there are secret numb crowds everywhere, shouting and shouting foremen, migrant workers pushing small carts to transport sand and gravel cement, sweating like rain and not hurting to mix cement with shovels, and building walls and bricks, busy, so busy with the appearance of a busy construction site

A large number of eunuchs, court craftsmen with exquisite craftsmanship, a large number of craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, whose household registration was limited, all came here under Zhu Youxiao's order, gathered together, and the huge number of people instantly washed away the original management system of the Tiangong workshop.

When Xu Guangqi came in mid-September, he was faced with such a chaotic scene. After cursing the emperor in his heart, he threw himself into the busy construction work.

He dismantled the original system of the entire Tiangong workshop again, with these managers and craftsmen as the core backbone, absorbing the prestige and ability of various groups of people, and building a new management system.

Under the command of Xu Guangqi's super high ability, a series of complicated and cumbersome things such as opening mountains and blasting stones, leveling land, firing cement, building kilns and burning bricks, producing original products, building dams on rivers and dams, making iron and steel in shaft furnaces, developing muskets, casting artillery, and producing gunpowder, were carried out in an orderly manner and gradually got on the right track.

The bureaucrats and scholars of the entire Beijing division may have fallen into panic, but the people at the bottom don't think so, they feel that this year's winter is particularly good, for no other reason, that is, because there is such a black hole in the western suburbs that absorbs labor, with the strong support of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Xu Guangqi opened up to accept people, but in less than three months, half of the Tiangong workshop he re-planned was completed, and it is expected that in two more months, the main building will be completed.

When Zhu Youxiao came to this time, he saw that it was an arms production base that had begun to take shape. Wide cement roads, smooth pavement, bright artisan houses, tall and majestic cement dams, orderly and divided into pieces of functional areas by walls.

The emperor's travel will naturally not be very simple, the etiquette is complicated, and the ceremonial guard is cumbersome. However, Zhu Youxu is a modern person, even if he has lived in this era for more than ten years, he is still not used to it, he is light and simple, and only took a cavalry company of more than 200 people to pay a private visit, and came to the Tiangong workshop that has been unrecognizable.

"What a change here!" Looking at the surrounding environment, Zhu Youxiao was like a dream for a while, and the appearance here completely changed. Except for the six-meter-high enclosed area in front of him, which was vaguely familiar, there was no impression of the other places at all.

"Let's go, let's see." After being in a trance, Zhu Youxiao chuckled lightly and walked forward.

First of all, it was a magnificent gate, and the words "Heavenly Palace Workshop" were written. This lane is the location of the original Tiangong workshop, which was built under the supervision of Zhu Youxiao, and it encloses the four industries in the past. Now there are some changes here, the gate has been rebuilt, widened and heightened, and some towers have been built at the head of the city, and the brocade guards with swords and bows loom inside.

Without waiting for Zhu Youxiao to get closer, a team of brocade guards quickly came out of the gate to block the road, although they did not show their swords and guns, but they were also implicitly vigilant.

Li Tu stepped forward immediately, and after showing his waist card, the intercepted Jinyi guards quickly dispersed, and the leader quickly reported inside. Then, Xu Guangqi, who was dressed in gray and black, led a large group of people out to greet him.

"See the old minister," Xu Guangqi led the people and wanted to kneel down to salute. Just before he could finish his movements, Zhu Youxiao immediately reached out and quickly rolled the saddle and dismounted, stopping the movement of the crowd.

"I came quietly today, don't make a noise, so as not to reveal my identity." Zhu Youxiao said with a cordial smile, like a spring breeze, which made the visible craftsmen behind Xu Guangqi's trembling bodies calm down.

"It's a miracle that the Tiangong Workshop has become like this in less than three months, compared to what everyone has suffered." Zhu Youxiao walked inside with a smile, talking as he walked, trying to recall the postures of those bigwigs in the news broadcast, and from time to time, he stopped to ask the dusty master next to him.

The kind and kind attitude makes these craftsmen who have never seen any big people very useful, and they are relieved and proud in their hearts, and many people even speak unfavorably. Xu Guangqi stood next to him and looked at it with a smile and did not step forward.

It wasn't until Zhu Youxiao had almost finished asking that he stepped forward, waved his hand to let those people disperse, and each went back to his post to work.

"Your Majesty is here for a flintlock pistol?" Xu Guangqi stepped forward with a smile and asked in a low voice.

"Don't rush yet. I am very curious about the current layout of the Tiangong Workshop, and Aiqing might as well introduce one or two to me. Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and signaled not to talk about this first.

"Then please Your Majesty wait a while, and let Lao Chen arrange one or two." Xu Guangqi replied, then rushed to the entourage behind him to give an order, the entourage nodded after listening to the order and left, and soon drove an open-top four-wheeled carriage with a canopy, which was a summer-type family carriage produced by the Tiangong workshop, with fixed seats and an ice room, after a pot of wine on ice, enjoy the scenery, quite comfortable.

"Your Majesty, please get in the car. Riding a horse is more inconvenient, so it is not as stable as riding a car. After speaking, Xu Guangqi took the lead in pedaling and sat down, and then took out a transparent glass bottle and quilt from under the desk for a while. Looking at his skillful movements, it is obvious that this car is not less sitting.

"The old horseman." Xu Guangqi's skillful and casual movements made Zhu Youxiao laugh and scold, quite a bit of the taste of drinking beer and eating barbecue with friends in later generations.

Zhu Youxiao got into the car, and the driving could only be Li Tu, and when the two of them were ready, he drove, and the carriage started slowly, and walked forward with a dada, followed by two hundred cavalrymen, who changed their formations and protected the carriage in the middle, but did not block their sight.

"Your Majesty, this cavalry is really well-trained, the old minister has not seen this kind of spiritual head soldier for a long time." Looking at the skillful movements and high spirits of the rider outside the car, Xu Guangqi was quite emotional.

"Huh." Zhu Youxiao smiled, but did not speak. Xu Guangqi trained in Tongzhou, but he couldn't succeed for various reasons, and now seeing such a fierce man, he is naturally a little inexplicable. Not only him, but anyone in the world will be like this when they see it, and praise Qi Jiguang for being alive.
