The chicken or the egg. This simple and puzzling question has puzzled mankind for thousands of years. Sister Jing Yan mentioned it at this time, which is really appropriate.

Is there Geng Fan, the Marquis of Maoling, who is the Han Dynasty first, or Geng Xiaofan, a master of engineering before the crossing?

Geng Xiaofan knew that he couldn't answer these questions, shook his head with a wry smile, packed up Jing Yan's sister's "congratulatory gift", and got up to say goodbye.

He had no choice!

He knew this Jing Yan sister too well. She will not give up until she achieves her goal. It was clear that she had prepared well. Maybe it's not enough, maybe she would have wanted to prepare for another two years before handing over this task to herself. It may be that the current development of the situation has made her a little anxious.

Geng Xiaofan understood that even if he didn't take on this task, Sister Jing Yan would think of other ways. Perhaps, she has a grudge in her heart, and she will really do something out of the ordinary to herself and to Fei'er!

All the way back to Shanggu, Geng Xiaofan was thinking seriously about this matter.

To build a military industry for Jing Yan's sister, she may cause a lot of casualties. But even without these advanced weapons and equipment, many people would have died, and perhaps even more tragically. Will fewer people die if they stop killing by killing?

Geng Xiaofan only felt that his mind was full of mud.

Although Geng Zhen's military camp is good, it is not as convenient as Fuyang's life after all. Geng Xiaofan returned to Fuyang and found that Fei'er and Yang'a had already taken Heping's mother and son back. The family is all around Xiao Geng Yi, although they are busy, they are full and happy.

Geng Xiaofan was thinking about the military factory, and he had no intention of enjoying these family pleasures. After careful preparation, he still activated the laboratory left by Jing Yan's sister.

The development of the military industry in Fuyang is obviously not the best choice, so he can only grope for experimental design first, and systematically prepare for mass production for the next step.

After nearly three years of exploration, Geng Xiaofan has really designed several sets of relatively complete production lines and trained dozens of skilled "skilled workers". Of course, for these people, Geng Xiaofan gave a "high salary", and correspondingly, these people also lost their freedom.

Just after the Spring Festival in the sixth year of the first year, Geng Xiaofan received two pieces of news from Chang'an.

At the age of fourteen, Liu Jin collapsed and was nicknamed Emperor Xiaoping. Only two-year-old infant is the crown prince, Wang Mang is the ruler of the Son of Heaven, and the name of the year is changed to "regent".

There is also a will, but it is a little strange, "Enzhun Maoling Marquis Shanggu guards Geng Fan's begging bones too much, and returns to his hometown to raise his bones." Blessed fields are thousands of hectares, and food is 500 households. ”

"Brother Fan, are you too guarded if you don't do this? When will it be given to the table at the imperial court? Are we going back to Maoling? Liu Fei'er was a little surprised when she heard the news.

Geng Xiaofan smiled bitterly, he had never been on the table at all, this must be Jing Yan's sister's arrangement.

"This official has been in office for a long time, and it's not interesting anymore. Is it bad to retire home? But we may not be able to return to Maoling. Wait, Sister Jing Yan must have news. ”

"Sister Jing Yan? You mean, all this was Jing Yan's sister's idea? Liu Fei'er seemed to understand a little, over the years, Geng Xiaofan ran to the mountains outside the city whenever he was free, and didn't tell her anything at all. She has also been focused on her little grandson all these years, and she doesn't care.

"We may have to go back to Fort Willow Springs." Geng Xiaofan's voice was gentle. In the past few years, Sister Jing Yan has not been idle at all, and has already started to prepare an industrial base for him in Liuquan Fort.

"Back to Fort Willow Springs!" Liu Fei'er was surprised and delighted. Liu Lotian is almost old, and the little lady has always taken good care of her, and her body is quite tough. It's really good to be able to go back to spend his days with him.

"Fei'er, do you remember what Sister Jing Yan asked me to promise her a few years ago? This should be it. In fact, what I have been doing in the north of the city for the past few years is to prepare for this. Geng Xiaofan took Liu Fei'er's hand, he couldn't and wasn't ready to hide it from Liu Fei'er anymore.

"What does she want you to do?" Only then did Liu Fei'er understand.

"I'll show you there!" Geng Xiaofan led Liu Fei'er to the cave laboratory.

Looking at the busy workers there, looking at those "modern" machines and equipment, Liu Feier was dumbfounded!

"This, these are all doing, making pistols?" Liu Fei'er asked in a trembling voice.

"It's not just pistols, there's weapons that are much more powerful than pistols." Geng Xiaofan explained to Liu Fei'er one by one.

"Oh my God! What is she going to do? This, these are too powerful! Although Liu Fei'er couldn't hear it clearly, she still roughly understood.

"This is just an experiment, she dismissed me from the official position, and she was ready to let me go back to Willow Spring Fort and mass produce for her." Geng Xiaofan said calmly.

"She's going to fight!" Liu Feier guessed.

"Just preparing for war. Emperor Han Ping died, and I don't know if she really killed her, but at this time a two-year-old child was set up, and Wang Mang was already regent. Soon he will usurp the throne, and by that time, there will be a lot of turmoil. She had to guard against it. ”

"Oh my God! She's so scheming! Start preparing so early! ”

"Yes! She knew very well what was coming, and she really had to change her life. I just don't know if it will work out. ”

"Then, will Zhen'er and Yi'er be in danger?" Liu Fei'er asked worriedly.

"She knows very well about Zhen'er and Yi'er. She has promised me that as long as Zhen'er and Yi'er don't mix, she will let it go. This is also a bargaining chip for her to blackmail me into doing this for her. ”

"That's good, as long as they're safe!" Liu Fei'er breathed a sigh of relief.

"We must be careless, and we must not be careless. The changes in the imperial court basically do not affect Shanggu, and Zhen'er will not be in any danger for the time being. Ti'er is too young, let's take it back to Fort Willow Springs first. It's time for him to meet his grandfather. Geng Xiaofan smiled.

While the two were talking, a servant came from outside the door to report that an envoy from the Anhan Mansion had arrived!

The "secret letter" brought by the envoy did not surprise Geng Xiaofan, and Sister Jing Yan asked him to destroy the "laboratory" in Shanggu and transfer all the "machinery and equipment" to Yanmen as soon as possible.

After the envoy finished delivering the letter, he flatteringly revealed a "good news" to Geng Xiaofan: "An Han Gong has recommended to the imperial court that Ning Du Wei Zhengongzi succeed Shanggu Taishou!" ”

"What?" This news was really a bit unexpected by Geng Xiaofan.

"There are also two Mrs. Geng, and the court will also reward them, and I heard that they will give a first-class lady. The villain is here to congratulate first! The envoy smiled.

"Hey! This should be all An Hangong's compassion, the real emperor's grace! Geng Xiaofan smiled bitterly. In order to stabilize herself, this sister Jing Yan really gave everything she could give herself!

Sending the envoy back to Chang'an, Geng Xiaofan began to prepare.

I thought that Wuguan was light, but I didn't expect that this place in Shanggu would have to be handed over to his son to take over. But it's also good that the higher the status and the greater the power, the safer it is.
