An autumn wind blew, and some of the yellowing leaves began to fall to the ground.

The eldest grandson Chong watched his babbling son play with Li Lizhi in the yard, but he was not happy at all.

With the cement road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou approaching the whole line, the topic of how much money Nanshan Construction Engineering has posted has become a hot topic of conversation among the nobles of Chang'an City after dinner.

Although a large area of land in the outskirts of Chang'an City has been allocated to Nanshan Construction Engineering, it has been more than a year, and there has not been even the slightest movement there.

To be precise, it's not really that there is no movement at all.

Nanshan Construction Engineering still arranged a part of the manpower and leveled a large piece of land there.

And then......

And then there was no then.

It's very uncomfortable to not move at this critical moment.

The eldest grandson's family followed the trend and bought more than 10,000 acres of land nearby, and now it is ......

It's not moving, it's not moving.

What's worse is that the eldest grandson's family doesn't know what to do with these lands.

It can be said that this year is a particularly difficult year for the eldest grandson's family.

Hoarding iron and steel not only did not make a big profit, but it made a loss.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji made a quick decision and transferred the things in the warehouse to other places to sell in time, the eldest grandson's family still lost more than 10,000 yuan.

More than 10,000 yuan is a large amount, but for the eldest grandson's family, it is actually an acceptable loss.

The most troublesome thing is that the iron-making workshop, which occupies eighty percent of the family's income, no longer makes money like before, which is the most fatal.

If a large family wants to eat, drink, and Lazar, it is far from enough to rely on the wealth of the eldest grandson Wuji and the eldest grandson Chong.

Now that the profits of the ironmaking workshop have fallen off a cliff, it is not up to the eldest grandson, who has just begun to take over the family business, not to worry.

"Lang Jun, there is movement in that piece of land again. Thousands of people came to Nanshan Construction Engineering, and in just a few days, several workshops were built there, and it seemed that they were about to start erecting beams and laying roofs. ”

Just when the eldest grandson was thinking about his thoughts, the guy sent by the government to monitor the movement of that piece of land came back.

"There's movement?"

Eldest Sun Chong breathed a sigh of relief.

Don't look at those wastelands, they can cost tens of thousands of dollars from the eldest grandson's family.

If you really keep it there, who isn't in a hurry?

It's good if there is movement, according to Aya's meaning, just follow the trend at home.

"Yes, it looks like five or six workshops have been opened in one go, and at the same time someone is preparing to build houses."

"Is such a big piece of land just to build a few workshops?"

Changsun Chong was a little unrelenting, "Have you ever heard what kind of workshop it is?" ”

"I haven't asked yet, but a stone monument has been erected in front of one of the workshops, on which is engraved the Bearing Research Institute."

"Bearing Research Institute? What for? How could there be a workshop with such a name. ”

Changsun Chong felt a little dizzy.

How do you keep up with the trend?

It's not possible to level the plot yourself, and then build a few workshops at the same time, right?

……

In the mechanical workshop under Gewu Academy, Li Kuan looked at a new-style carriage and couldn't help frowning.

I have the four wheels I want, and the brake device is also available, but the ride comfort is still very low.

"This carriage for transporting goods and the carriage for transporting people should be designed separately. For carriages of different prices, the materials used should also be distinguished. For example, cast-iron wheels can be used in heavy, high-priced trucks, but the cheaper ones are still made of hardwood. ”

The first batch of roller bearings had already been developed in the machine workshop, and Li Kuan immediately thought of using them on axles.

Concrete roads have already been built, and the speed of transportation of goods is bound to increase.

However, if the speed goes up and the carrying capacity can't keep up, it's a waste.

So Li Kuan naturally thought of the four-wheeled carriage.

Historically, the ancient dynasties of China basically did not have four-wheeled carriages.

It's not that you don't know that four-wheeled carriages weigh more and are more comfortable to sit on.

It's because we can't solve the problem of the difficulty of steering the four-wheeled carriage.

Li Kuan can certainly get out the steering device and differential of the later generations, but how many people can buy the carriage loaded with these things?

Horse-drawn carriages sold to nobles can be considered in this way, but those sold to various merchants for transportation of goods must not be done in this way.

Otherwise, the price of one, two or four-wheeled carriages is as high as seven or eight two-wheeled carriages, and who else will buy them?

"Lord Wang, if there are too many types of carriages, it will be difficult to manage them."

Dai Quan could understand what Li Kuan meant, but he thought that at that time, there might be seven or eight styles of a single truck, plus a carriage used to transport people......

It hurts to think about it.

In the final analysis, the on-site management level of workshops in this era is still too backward.

"You don't have to worry about this, Nanshan Construction Engineering is already in charge of building a special carriage workshop, and when the time comes, all carriages will be made in the carriage workshop using an assembly line."

"The way of the assembly line? Lord, what kind of line is this assembly line? ”

Dai Quan asked curiously.

"Just go to the carriage workshop and have a look."

Li Kuan got out of the carriage and continued to point out a bunch of problems before leaving the mechanical workshop.

However, he did not return home immediately, but followed Wang Xuance to the workshop city.

This workshop city is the land that Nanshan Jianye exchanged for from the imperial court, and seeing that the cement road is about to be built, Li Kuan finally began to do something about this land.

The workshop city, as the name suggests, is used to build workshops.

The first batch of workshops will be horse-drawn carriage workshops and bearing research institutes and other related supporting workshops.

In fact, at the beginning, Wang Xuance and others did not agree to build the workshop here.

It's really too far away from Chang'an City, and if you walk, you can't walk at all in two hours.

Where did the craftsmen live when the workshop was built here?

The area around Chang'an City is not without land.

However, Li Kuan obviously didn't think so.

It has been eleven years since Li Shimin ascended the throne, and the Tang Dynasty already has some appearance of Zhenguan Shengshi.

With the addition of Li Kuan's golden finger bonus, in the next few years, there are destined to be all kinds of novelty things, and the number of workshops needed will also increase explosively.

Instead of building workshops around Chang'an City in the east and west, it is better to concentrate on the workshop city.

This is a bit of the concept of an industrial zone in later generations, or the concept of a satellite city.

This kind of thing is naturally not something that Wang Xuance and they can understand.

"Lord Wang, these are all workshops under the palace, and we are also inviting some other workshops that cooperate with us to move here, but for the time being, only the Jin Taida Iron Shop in Yongyang Fang has agreed."

Although Wang Xuance did not understand Li Kuan's idea of building a workshop city.

However, understanding must be implemented, and if you don't understand, you must also execute, which he is very clear about.

Everyone usually hears tens of thousands of acres or hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and they may not have any concept. But if you think about it, the average university is often one or two thousand acres of land, which is very large.

Even the two largest universities in northern Qing Dynasty in later generations, that is, they each cover an area of five or six thousand acres.

Nanshan Construction Engineering suddenly asked for hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland from the imperial court, although it was far away from Chang'an City, it was actually a very large piece of land.

If it weren't for the fact that Nanshan Construction Engineering was the property of the Chu Prince's Mansion, it would have been impossible for it to have such a large piece of land.

"According to Shangguanyi's news, the cement road from Chang'an City to Liangzhou will be completed next month, and tens of thousands of people will be idle by then. Although the prince also proposed to His Majesty to continue to build several cement roads from Chang'an to Luoyang and from Luoyang to Jinyang, he has not yet received accurate information. When so many people come to Workshop City together, the progress of construction should be much faster. ”

Wang Xuance thought of the silver thrown into this bottomless pit, and his heart ached.

"Well, that Yan Wenwen agreed to help design the blueprints for the Workshop City, right?"

Li Kuan rode on the maroon red horse, looking at the large patches in front of him that were still weeds, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

If it used to be a small fight, then this workshop city is a big deal.

Once completed, many things in Datang will be slowly changed.

"I agreed, I just said a few words, and Master Yan agreed with a twinkle in his eyes, without mentioning any conditions."

Wang Xuance couldn't help but laugh when he thought about Yan Wenwen's reaction at the beginning.

I thought it would be difficult to invite him, the master craftsman of Daming Palace, to work for the workshop city.

Who knows, when I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Chu was going to build a workshop city of hundreds of thousands of acres, Yan Liben's saliva was about to flow out.

A stage to display one's talents, for some people, is more important than anything else.

As for the treatment or something, sometimes it's not what people pay the most attention to.

Of course, this must be a person with a skill to have this kind of confidence.

"Okay, then you ask Yan Liben to send the first version of the design draft to this king for confirmation as soon as possible. This workshop city involves hundreds of thousands of acres of land, but it needs to be replanned after a few years. ”

Li Kuan has seen a lot of roads in the future to be dug up today, and will be dug again next month.

You think it's over, but after another month, it's turned upside down again.

Naturally, he didn't want this to happen in the workshop city.

To put it mildly, this workshop city has a lot of ideas for Li Kuan, and for many years to come, many of Li Kuan's actions will be related to the workshop city.

"Lord Wang, don't worry, this Master Yan is now preparing for the waste of sleep and food. For all kinds of paper alone, our paper mill sent a wagon to him. ”

Wang Xuance felt that he was already working very hard, but compared to Yan Liben, he was still a big deal.

"In addition to the cement workshop and the honeycomb coal workshop, if other workshops need to be expanded, in principle, they will be considered in the workshop city."

"Okay, but the problem now is that there will be so many craftsmen's accommodation and transportation problems, which may be more troublesome."

The workshop city is so far away from Chang'an City, it is impossible to walk, although it is faster to ride a horse, but these craftsmen, out of the fourth-level workers, fifth-level workers these masters, where is it possible for ordinary people to raise horses by themselves?

"Traffic problems, after the workshop is built, this king has a way to solve it, you don't have to worry. As for lodging, a residential area will be set aside in the workshop city, and some houses will be built and sold to craftsmen. ”

In Datang, there is not necessarily much market for real estate, at least the current conditions are not yet ripe.

However, as a measure combined with welfare, it is still possible to build a number of houses to reward craftsmen, or to sell them to craftsmen in workshops by deducting their wages every month.

"If that's the case, the first workshops will be ready for construction within this year"

Although I don't know how Li Kuan will solve the traffic problem at that time, out of his trust, Wang Xuance is no longer worried.

……

Autumn is getting stronger, and Cheng Jingwen's belly is getting bigger and bigger.

Seeing that he could give birth at any time, Li Kuan began a life behind closed doors.

Of course, Sun Simiao was also invited by Li Kuan to be ready for backup.

Of course, if there is no accident, the protagonist is still a stable woman sent by the palace.

After all, letting a Langzhong, even a bearded and white-flowered Langzhong, be responsible for the production of pregnant women is not something that people in this era can accept casually.

"Lord Wang, I can't walk."

Li Kuan has to take Cheng Jingwen for a walk in the courtyard every day, and this point of view does not seem to be supported by a few people except for Sun Simiao.

In the eyes of those stable women, at this time, it is best for the princess to stay in the room, don't go anywhere, and don't move anywhere.

However, Li Kuan believes that appropriate exercise is conducive to the physical and mental health of pregnant women and is conducive to smooth delivery.

Although he took the risk of performing intestinal carbuncle surgery for Wang Xuanwu several years ago, if he couldn't give birth smoothly and had to have a caesarean section, then ......

I don't have faith at all!

You can't let that Lin Ran do this surgery, right?

Even if Li Kuan reluctantly accepted it, Cheng Jingwen would not agree to it.

So, if you should exercise, you still have to exercise properly.

"Jingwen, it's only been less than a hundred steps today, and if you walk around, let's go to the Hundred Herbs Garden to enjoy the osmanthus flowers."

Li Kuan coaxed and deceived Cheng Jingwen step by step.

Hands on the bulging belly, and from time to time you can still feel the beating of the little one.

Life is wonderful.

Every day, Li Kuan likes to put his ears on Cheng Jingwen's belly from time to time to feel the existence of the little guy.

Sometimes, I sleep peacefully.

Sometimes they kick around like a monkey, and the naked eye can see the small footprints on the belly.

It's so cute.

Li Kuan has never looked forward to the arrival of a little life more than now.

Whether it is the sense of belonging to Datang or the sense of responsibility to children, Li Kuan today is very different from previous years.

"Lord Wang, do you prefer boys or girls?"

Cheng Jingwen has asked this question several times, and Li Kuan has also answered it several times.

However, Cheng Jingwen felt that Li Kuan's answer was to fool her, so she had to ask again every three or five days.

When she was about to give birth, she cared about this even more.

Mother is more precious than child, this word still has a deep meaning in ancient times.

"Girl, I like girls the most, I want this little guy to be a baby girl."

Li Kuan answered Cheng Jingwen's question again from the bottom of his heart and tirelessly.

Nice daughter, intimate little padded jacket.

The conscience of heaven and earth, this is really Li Kuan's sincere thoughts.

Cheng Jingwen just doesn't believe it, and today is no exception.
