Chapter 269: Falling Soup

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and suddenly it is almost July, and Lin'an City has ushered in another difficult day. The weather is getting hot, but things in Fang Zi'an's yamen are becoming more and more idle. After the continuous improvement of various rules and regulations, Fang Zi'an no longer needs to personally go to various stations to inspect and supervise.

In fact, a disorderly yamen is equivalent to a blank piece of paper, as long as the rules and regulations and code of conduct are given, the soldiers will quickly adapt and abide by them. Moreover, after the issue of military salaries was solved, under the inspiration of the collective sense of honor that Fang Zi'an tried his best to create, and after receiving good feedback from the people, some things have actually become conscious behaviors. Not to mention, each rule has a corresponding way to deal with violations, and after severely punishing twenty or thirty thorns who dared to ignore Fang Zi'an's authority and regulations, the entire yamen was actually running like a machine. And Fang Zi'an was also idle because of this.

Fang Zi'an was finally able to have time to spare some personal time to deal with some personal matters. For example, the installation of a steam engine, which has been delayed for a month.

In fact, during this period of time, Qian Kang and Su Heng have urged Fang Zi'an many times. After the steam engine was assembled and tested successfully, Qian Kang disassembled the steam engine into various parts and transferred it to Wantou Village according to Fang Zi'an's instructions. The process of transshipment took seven or eight days, and it was all carefully transferred for fear of damaging the parts. And Su Heng's forged propeller according to Fang Zi'an's drawings was finally successful. The huge propeller caused a lot of trouble during the transfer process, and even attracted the attention of the city gate defenders. But in the end, he relied on Su Heng's identity to solve the trouble.

After arriving at Wantou Village, they were all placed in a specially built shanty to be assembled. Then here's the conundrum. How this huge steel machine is installed on a large ship, what kind of modification the ship should be made according to the shape of the machine, and whether such a modification will lead to the imbalance of the large ship, and what the final effect will be are all specific and huge projects, and it is not up to any one person to decide. Therefore, everyone is desperately looking forward to Fang Zi'an's arrival, and some things can't be messed around without Fang Zi'an's decision, he is the owner. Second, this machine was made by Fang Zi'an, and only he knew how to install it. Except for Fang Zi'an, everyone actually had black eyes and didn't know anything.

However, Fang Zi'an has been too busy these past few days. First in danger of human life, and then to take over the affairs of the yamen, he had to rack his brains to gain a firm foothold and change the yamen. Coupled with a hurricane, Fang Zi'an once again had no time to take care of the steam engine. Although Qian Kang came back to report to Fang Zi'an many times, telling him that forty or fifty people, including Su Heng and the old leader, Wan Dalongtou and others, were waiting for him to do this, Fang Zi'an could only say sorry again and again, and let Qian Kang go back to apologize to everyone on his behalf. He's really incompetent.

Of course, Fang Zi'an knew the priorities. It is not a problem for the steam engine to be on the ship one day earlier and one day later, but the affairs in the yamen cannot be delayed. You must take care of the affairs of the yamen, so that you can do your own private affairs with peace of mind. Otherwise, you will be in big trouble. Fang Zi'an could completely imagine everyone's anxiety, and even Su Heng was afraid that he had scolded himself many times, but he himself was also helpless, so he had to let them prepare for various wooden cranes, pulley slings and other auxiliary preparations first, and wait for them to go.

And now, after everything is on the right track in the Yamen, Fang Zi'an can finally find time to go to Wantou Village to do this big thing.

On June 28, the weather was a little gloomy and hot, Fang Zi'an went to the yamen early in the morning to explain to Li Dalong, Lei Hu and others, telling them that he had personal matters to deal with in the past few days, so he needed to leave for a few days. Let them take care of the affairs of the yamen for the time being. After that, Fang Zi'an and Shen Ling'er rode their horses and whipped out of the city.

The day before, Fang Zi'an sent someone to inform Qian Kang that he would rush to Wantou Village the next day. Therefore, when Fang Zi'an arrived, dozens of people, including Su Heng, Qian Kang, Liu Laotou, Wan Dahai and others, were already waiting for Fang Zi'an at the Hewan Wharf in the east of the village. When Fang Zi'an got off the horse and walked to the dock, everyone stared at Fang Zi'an with a resentful woman's grievance and blame in their eyes.

"Everyone, long time no see, are you all okay" Fang Zi'an said with a smile.

Everyone didn't speak, they just stared at Fang Zi'an.

Fang Zi'an smiled and said, "What's wrong, it's all become a bodhisattva carved in clay and wood."

Su Heng said angrily, "Fang Zi'an, you are too much. I, Su Heng, have never been so neglected. If I hadn't been reluctant to do things, I would have patted my ass and left. You are showing great disrespect to us. ”

Before Fang Zi'an could answer, Liu Lao also said angrily, "Young Master Fang, you have forgotten all of us." If we haven't come for so long, are we going to break up?"

Wan Dahai said, "I see, Fang Gongzi has become an official, and he is bent on climbing up." He didn't care about our affairs here for a long time. When I first came to ask the old man, I was the same when I came out of the mountain, but now I look at it, there is no us in my eyes at all. Let's break up, let's not spend it here, lest people think we're annoying. ”

The three of you said something cool about scolding Huai, and their white eyes flew all over the sky.

Fang Zi'an scratched his head and sighed, "Master Su, old leader, ten thousand dragon heads, you have wronged me." Zi'an has no disrespect, Zi'an is really difficult to get out. In this way, how can Zi'an make everyone get rid of their anger and be scolded and punished, Zi'an is willing to accept it. ”

Su Heng rolled his eyes and said, "You are an official now, who dares to scold the official, Lord Fang, if you can take the time to meet me and the other Xiaomin today, we will already be grateful." ”

"That's it, why didn't Lord Fang come in an official robe today, Brother Wan, don't we kowtow to Lord Fang?" said the old man.

Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly, and had to confess again and again. Wan Da Long said, "Young Master Fang, no matter what, today yours will make us dissipate our anger." You just said you were willing to be punished, didn't you?"

Fang Zi'an hurriedly said, "Yes, naturally willing, as long as you can dissipate your anger." ”

Wan Dahai said, "This is what you said, so don't blame me for being polite." Iron pillars, iron bolts, you are still stunned, go on. ”

Fang Zi'an was stunned spontaneously, Wan Dahai's two sons, Wan Tiezhu and Wan Tiezhu, had already rushed forward with more than a dozen boatmen. Wan Tiezhu smiled and said, "Master Fang, you are offended, but don't blame us, we dare not disobey my father." ”

After that, everyone stepped forward together, grabbed their arms, raised their legs, and set up Fangzi. Fang Zi'an didn't know what they were going to do, but he did

They must not have any ill will towards themselves, so they are not too nervous. He only smiled and said, "Hey, everyone, be merciful." ”

Shen Ling'er behind her became nervous when she saw this posture, and said coquettishly, "Whoever dares to move, I will kill him." ”

With that, he rushed forward to make a move. Fang Zi'an hurriedly waved his hand and shouted, "Ling'er, don't do it, they are all your own brothers, they won't hurt me." ”

Shen Ling'er was stunned for a moment, Wan Tiezhu and the others had already rushed to the side of the river bay wharf with Fang Zi'an, and everyone exerted their strength to throw Fang Zi'an high, and with a pop, it was like a big scale falling into the water, splashing a splash.

Fang Zi'an shouted loudly and came out of the water, fluttered and climbed ashore, and when he walked to the shore, he was completely soaked, drenched in water like a chicken in soup. Everyone on the shore laughed, and Su Heng, the old general, Wan Dahai and the others, couldn't help laughing.

Fang Zi'an sold miserably, came to Su Heng and the others wet, and said with a smile: "This three can be dissipated, if you don't dissipate your anger, throw me again." ”

Su Heng snorted. Liu Lao smiled and said, "That's it, I'll spare you." Just kidding you. Now that we know that you led people to rescue the people who were hit by the hurricane, and what you did was a good thing, of course we can't blame you. If not, you won't be able to get past this hurdle today. ”

Fang Zi'an arched his hand and laughed: "Then thank you." You're still good to me. I did keep you waiting. But from now on, we can get to work. ”

Su Heng shouted, "Then what time is there to wait, there are many things to discuss with you." ”

Fang Zi'an smiled bitterly, "You have to let me take off my wet clothes and tie up my wet hair, I'm like a water ghost, but how can I do something." ”

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Fang Zi'an didn't need to take care of himself, he took off his wet clothes and was shirtless, simply wrung out his hair and tied it up messily, took off his shoes and hit his bare feet, perfectly blending into the crowd in front of him. Surrounded by everyone, they came to the left side of the pier. It wasn't until this moment that Fang Zi'an noticed the tremendous changes that had taken place here.

The Hewan Wharf on the east side of Wantou Village was originally just a simple dock, but since it became a place for ship repair, many renovations have been made. From the year to the present, because there is no work to do, the old boss refuses to let the apprentices idle, so he has made some changes to the ship repair dock. First of all, some dredging and cleaning work was carried out at the entrance of the river bay and the river, and after all the dense reeds and aquatic weeds on the bank were dug up and removed, the river channel was much wider. After the underwater tire frame for ship repair was re-laid, the tire frame was longer and wider, making it more suitable for repairing the boat. Later, some simple construction was carried out on the wharf on the shore, stones were brought in to lay stone steps, the wasteland on the bank of the river was leveled into a huge field, and two rows of houses were built to serve as storehouses and dwellings. The old boss himself moved here to live, just to repair the nearby shipbuilding and renovate the surrounding docks.

That's not all, the old boss and Wan Dahai and others have built more than a dozen wooden cranes above and below the wharf in the past two months. The tallest reached seven or eight zhang high. The whole wharf is now visible at a glance, with cranes, open wharves, and wide rivers. In addition, two large ships are quite close to the shore, which is already quite the size of a regular dock.

Fang Zi'an was really full of praise when he saw this.
