Chapter 149: There is a tacit understanding with each other
Qin Feng and the others went to Yunshan, and when they were chatting all the way, Qin Feng turned his head sideways and asked Zeng Youcai with a smile: "You said that you are four brothers, then what are the names of your three brothers?" ”
"Hey, hey." Zeng Youcai was a little embarrassed, and replied with a smile: "My three brothers are called Zeng Youqing, Zeng Youyi, and Zeng Youxue. ”
"Hahaha." Qin Feng couldn't help laughing: "Not bad! Not bad! So are your brothers really affectionate, righteous and learned? “
"It's affectionate and righteous!" Zeng Youcaidao: "We work together, I am responsible for the work, and carpentry." There is affection to be a plasterer, there is righteousness to paint, cut stones, learn to draw, and settle accounts. We eat and drink together. Next, earn some silver, and give it to the learned family. Hehe, it's just that there is no learning, and there is no learning. ”
Qin Feng nodded: "Reading is the way out, but it is not the only way out." The most important thing is to behave in a proper manner and to be brothers of the same mind. ”
Gossip all the way, a group of people went out of the city and went straight to Yunshan, to the front of the Qingfeng Temple, seeing the people coming and going, so lively. As soon as Qin Feng changed his mind, the Midyear Festival was coming, and the people made an appointment with the dojo to pray for blessings, and Wang Zhenren might not be able to separate himself.
So he decided to come back and visit the real person again, and asked a sergeant to lead the horse to the storage. I was ready to bypass the mountain gate and go back to the mountain on my own.
A man with a knife came head-on, Liu Ji dodged to block it, and Qin Feng said, "It's familiar, it's okay." ”
The man came over and saluted Qin Feng: "My young lady invites Qin Gongzi, and if you have time, you will go to the hot spring courtyard last time." ”
Qin Feng nodded and said, "I'll go to Houshan to do some errands first, about two days later, well, can you help book a yard?" I've got a few people with me. ”
The man smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back." Qin Gongzi walked all the way. ”
Qin Feng smiled, a little happy and a little proud in his heart. This man is Lu Wenman's general, and the girl heard that day that she would come to Yunshan today, so she waited here in advance.
In Nanchang, in UOB, Lu Wenman and himself pretended to be serious, every word and deed, the rules can no longer be rules, for fear of being seen by others.
Once the two are alone, they are hazy and ambiguous. The people who provoke people are flustered and full of sweetness.
Since ancient times, cheating has been exciting.
Presumably, Lu Wenman is a scholar, and he is used to being a lady. Suddenly taste this different emotional stimulation, maybe just like yourself, enjoy it? Otherwise, why is there such a tacit understanding?
Several people walked up the mountain road to the top of the back mountain. Zeng Youcai puffed up his eyes and said, "There is still such a big village here? ”
Qin Feng was also secretly surprised, hundreds or even nearly a thousand wooden houses suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain, neatly and neatly, undulating along the mountain range. During this time, there were children running and playing, and some women were doing various things.
Two young men suddenly appeared and blocked the way: "A few guest officers, this is Qingfengguan's private property, not a tourist area, please go back." Qin Feng fixed his eyes and saw that there were several people behind the two, holding weapons, looking at his party with a vigilant expression.
Qin Feng said: "I'll find Chang Dao Chang, or Xu Qiming." ”
The two young men were stunned for a moment, and one said, "May I ask what Mr. is called?" ”
"Qin Feng."
"Oh? It turned out to be Head Qin, please come quickly! I'm going to ask Chang Daochang and Mr. Xu. One turned to leave.
"Wait." Qin Feng smiled: "I said that I am Qin Feng, you take it seriously?" As a sentry, you should send someone to ask Chang Dao Chang or Mr. Xu to come here to identify it first. ”
Several young men looked embarrassed, and one of them nodded and said, "What Regiment Leader Qin said is extremely true, then please ask Regiment Leader Qin to wait here." I'm going to ask for someone. ”
The others were also idle, so Qin Feng chatted with those people. What Qin Feng meant just now was just to maintain the discipline of the sentinels and establish a standard, so he cooperated and waited here for someone to identify him.
Therefore, everyone thought in their hearts that this was the head of Qin, and they had no scruples about chatting.
It turned out that as soon as Xu Qiming arrived in Houshan, he discussed with Chang Daochang and listed the entire Houshan Mountain Range as a secret area. In order to ensure safety, sentry posts are set up at the entrance of the mountain road and the mouth of the valley a few miles away, and idle people are not allowed to enter.
These descendants are the young men who are selected to be on duty.
After a while, I saw Chang Daochang and Xu Qiming coming together, and the three of them met each other and were very affectionate. Walking towards the residence with his arms together, after taking a few steps, Qin Feng turned around, pointed at the young men and said, "These people are good, very vigilant!" It's time for a compliment. ”
Those young men smiled and thanked them again and again.
Chang Dao smiled and said: "Qin Xiucai, you made my back mountain develop all of a sudden!" My brother can't even afford to deliver food! Haha, he often comes to me to eat and drink! ”
Qin Feng smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xu, take away tens of thousands of taels of silver at once, and a few days ago I asked me to prepare another tens of thousands of taels." Of course you are developed. ”
Xu Qiming said with a smile: "I remember, what you did for me was the chief ordnance division of the militia regiment?" "E-book bar
"Seems to be." Qin Feng said uncertainly: "It should be this position." ”
"Then you should call me Master Xu, not Mr. Xu."
"I'm afraid that people will misunderstand you as a monk! Chang Daochang, Master Xu! I'm waiting for the festival to be held in the back mountain? Several people laughed together.
Xu Qiming said with a smile: "I still want to thank Captain Qin, in my life, this is the time to live." Being able to do what you want to do is the joy of life! ”
"Then I'm much better than you, I've been doing what I love all my life." Chang Daochang was a little proud, and laughed at himself: "I just don't know what the meaning of these things I like." Thanks to Qin Gongzi's action, he saw the sun. “
While talking, he walked through the residence and walked to the front of the valley, Qin Feng looked at it fixedly, couldn't help but gasp, and immediately looked at Xu Qiming with admiration.
In less than a month, the whole valley is like a big construction site! Thousands of laborers built underneath, some to open roads, some to break stones, some to burn kilns, some to strike iron, and to cut and saw......
Xu Qiming said proudly: "More than 1,600 people below are working together, the arsenal you want, the laboratory that Chang Dao Chang wants, and the steelmaking blast furnace will all be completed soon!" Look at the col, there's a huge natural outlet. I'm going to build three blast furnaces there, and with the help of the natural wind, it's like hundreds or thousands of bellows blowing at the same time! I bet that the steel that will flow out there will definitely be the best steel in Dahua! “
Qin Feng pointed to the col, which was already more than ten meters high, and said, "That's a natural outlet?" ”
"That's right! People can't stand there at all, but go up, or down more than ten meters, and the wind is no longer strong. There was a stream behind the col. Xu Qiming said proudly: "It is a destiny!" So I built three blast furnaces in one go, and as long as there was enough iron ore and coke, the best arsenal could be built here. ”
Qin Feng nodded and said, "I just care about whether the steel that is smelted can be used as a gun barrel." “
"Yes." Xu Qiming said: "As long as the silver is enough, the iron ore is pure enough, and the coke is good enough." “
"I'm here this time to go down the mountain with the soap method of Chang Daochang, start selling soap, and earn you money. You can spend it vigorously! Qin Feng said: "How powerful is the gunpowder?" “
Chang Dao said: "It can be used to open mountains and split stones!" Use diatomaceous earth to absorb nitroglycerin, which is what you call yellow powder. Nitrocellulose is added to nitroglycerin, and ammonium nitrate is added, which is more stable and powerful. I'm still breaking down the specific formula ratio. Soon, all the explosives and ignition powder you want will come out! “
Xu Qiming said with a smile: "The gunpowder will come out immediately, my barrel and bullets haven't landed yet, can I not hurry up?" This valley is good and secretive, but it is not convenient to transport, so I have people below to clear a road that leads directly to the outside and it is convenient to transport ores and other materials. ”
Qin Feng said: "Then try cement paving!" ”
"Tried it, it's the same as volcanic ash, it works! It turns out that volcanic ash is actually ash made from burning stones, and some of it is formed into lime, which can be used as medicine to kill poison. Some stones become cement, and they can build roads and houses. I really didn't understand it before, but now that I understand, I am ready to build another cave and burn cement. Chang Dao pointed in the direction of the valley: "Two miles ahead, a cement mill was designed. The burned cement paves the road first. This is all designed by Mr. Xu, and there are so many projects, so it costs a lot of money. “
"Burn more cement, this thing can make a lot of money! We have a lot of expenses and we have to make more money. This Mr. Zeng, you can arrange for him to learn how to use cement, adjust the proportion of sand and gravel, and use a steel frame to make a frame, and cement to pour into a column. These must be mastered, I will take him out to build a militia barracks, and I will take him to engage in real estate in the future! ”
"What real estate?" Xu Qiming was confused.
"You don't care!" Qin Feng waved his hand: "That's a way to make money, you are responsible for spending money." ”
"Okay! Then I'll go to the victims and find some people to come back and triple the cement production. ”
"How much can you burn in a day?" Qin Feng asked.
"Now I can make a thousand pounds."
"Ten times! At least ten times. Qin Feng shook his head: "It's still too little." “
Xu Qiming said: "I can't do it here, I can't do so much." However, there are so many mountains around Nanchang, find a limestone mountain, and burn as much as you want! ”
Zeng Youcai said: "Commander Qin, I know that twenty or thirty miles west of Nanchang, there is a mountain, mostly limestone. But. ”
"But what?"
"It is said that there are thieves hidden in the mountains."
"Okay, you learn from them how to use cement to build roads and houses! In the future, Nanchang will use this to repair houses, you just wait to be really rich! As for the thieves, I'll think of it. ”
Xu Qiming beckoned the two of them, gave a few words, and then left with Zeng Youcai.
Several people were still discussing, and a voice came from behind them: "Qin Gongzi is now on a steady footing, passing by my Qingfeng Temple, and not coming to see the old way." I'm so tired that I'm in a hurry behind, what does Qin Gongzi mean by this? ”
Qin Feng turned around and smiled bitterly, and bowed his hand and said, "I saw that there were many tourists in Qingfengguan, and I thought that Wang Zhenren was busy with affairs, so I planned to pay a visit when I went down the mountain." As a result, you are tired and caught up, my fault! ”
Chang Daochang smiled and said: "Senior brother is also here, then let's go, everyone go back to rest, sit and chat, I have a cloud tongue there, let everyone soak and taste." ”
