"Humble Meng Chen, Liu Wu, Qi Guoqiang, I have seen the handsome ......"

Not long after, Xu Changqing met Meng Chen and a few of his friends.

Compared with the previous time in Nanjing, these little guys are obviously a lot darker and thinner, but their spirits are excellent, and they are full of enthusiasm and youthful vitality.

"Huh. You boys have worked hard, have you all eaten? ”

Although Xu Changqing also wants to see the stone crusher, he still has to care about people first.

"Hehe, go back to Dashuai, haven't ...... yet"

Several guys were a little shy, wanting to say something but not daring to say it.

Xu Changqing understood their thoughts, and kicked Meng Chen's ass with a smile: "Okay, I know that you monkey cubs are in a hurry, let's go, let's go and see your results first." If it is made well, Lao Tzu will invite you to drink tonight. If you can't make it, Wang Xi, you drink with them. ”

"Hey, hey."

Wang Xi smiled and agreed, but pretended to grind his fists and said: "Don't worry, Dashuai, I promise to accompany our little brothers." ”

"Forehead ......"

Meng Chen and the others were speechless.

Wang Xi's alcohol consumption is well-known among the model army, and when he looks like this, their brothers have such a small body, and it is not enough to stuff his teeth.

hurriedly led Xu Changqing to the courtyard.

Xu Changqing soon saw this ...... A bit of an indescribably big machine.

The stone crusher built by Meng Chen and them was much taller than Xu Changqing, and a lot of iron was used as well as wood.

However, the wood is obviously used very skillfully, and it is also polished very smooth, especially where the livestock need to be tied, as if it was carefully cared for.

If you really want to describe it, it's like an ugly big-bellied monster.

Meng Chen and the others brought a lot of raw materials, and they were busy talking and gesturing while demonstrating for Xu Changqing.

The stones are large and small, some are the size of a watermelon, and some are the size of a fist, and the shapes are different, but they are all relatively 'long', and several mules were quickly tied up, Liu Wu and Qi Guoqiang began to step on the chair to feed, and the original version of the stone crusher immediately 'rumbled' into operation.

The noise was really a bit harsh, and even Xu Changqing frowned.

In particular, the heart-rending howls of a few mules and horses are really hard to look at.

But it didn't take long for the results to show.

At the exit at the bottom of the stone crusher, pieces of polished stones of the same size began to 'rumble'.

"I ...... God, hey, God. ”

It was Wang Xi's temperament, and he couldn't stop exclaiming.

Such a loud voice also attracted many officials on duty from the Political Affairs Bureau to come out to check, and they all screamed again and again.

Xu Changqing was also a little uncontrollably excited, these boys really didn't disappoint him.

Seeing that the success shocked the scene, Meng Chen and the others were also greatly excited, Meng Chen scratched his head and said: "Handsome, in fact, in fact, the humble rank is not considered to have completed the task you assigned. This stone crusher can only polish this kind of long stone, if it is round, or stronger, it will be difficult......"

Xu Changqing laughed: "This is already amazing, how did you do it?" ”

Seeing that Xu Changqing affirmed their merits, a few hairy boys were busy talking excitedly.

Xu Changqing quickly understood, they just started to do it according to Xu Changqing's ideas, but the effect was not good, the main crushing gear was too thin, and it would be broken after a few times, and then, after careful discussion, they continued to increase the strength of the gear, and further improved the manufacturing process of the gear, and finally made progress.

This stone crusher, they have gone through hundreds of experiments, if only this kind of long stone, unless it is a particularly unexpected situation, basically there will be no problem.

went up again and took a closer look at the shape of the gears and some other details, Xu Changqing also couldn't stop sighing, Han people, it's really fucking smart.

The talents in this huge nation are simply like a carp crossing the river, and they are inexhaustible! This is Xu Changqing's biggest capital!

It is also the biggest capital of the Han nation and China in this world!

In the evening, Xu Changqing held a banquet and invited Meng Chen and his friends, and at the same time, with a stroke of his pen, he directly rewarded them with a reward of three thousand taels of silver.

During the banquet, Xu Changqing told them about some more detailed machine modes such as ball mills and pulverizers, and Meng Chen couldn't care about eating, so he took the paper and wrote and painted desperately, and wrote them down one by one.

……

The stone crusher built by Meng Chen and them undoubtedly provides the most powerful guarantee for the concrete framework.

And as he got to know them more and more, and understood their temperament, ability, and imagination, Xu Changqing was wondering if he should inform them of the steam engine in advance.

However, Xu Changqing finally reluctantly made this thought.

Now, those experts from the West have not yet come, the standards are not perfect enough, and Meng Chen and they also need more polishing, and they can't pull out the seedlings to help them grow.

Anyway, Xu Changqing is not in a hurry at this time.

But this injected Xu Changqing with a dose of strengthening!

Perhaps, the age of steam is not far from the Ming Dynasty and the Han people!

……

In the next few days, Xu Changqing also began to be busy with the work of appeasing and socializing, going deep into all walks of life and all aspects of Haicheng, so that everyone could have a good year.

In the blink of an eye, the New Year has arrived.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xu Changqing held a grand banquet in the mansion to spend this most important festival of the Han people with a group of beautiful wives and concubines and children.

Xu Changqing now has more than 20 children, the eldest Xu Xin has grown into a big girl, she has two little pigtails, timid, and brittle, just like a pitiful delicate little flower.

"Daddy, what the hell is the principle of hot air balloons? Why, why can it take to the skies? Daddy, you've never taken Xin'er on a hot air balloon......"

When Xu Changqing finished his work and came to the children, Xu Xin, as the eldest sister, easily entangled Xu Changqing, Da Lang and Erlang did not dare to disobey the prestige of her eldest sister, they all stood aside obediently, looking at Xu Changqing with blank eyes.

"Well...... this"

Xu Changqing was also a little speechless for a while, and suddenly found that he really owed his children a lot, and inadvertently, they had already begun to be sensible.

Xu Xin, in particular, has actually begun to think about this kind of principled question.

I was busy sorting out my thoughts and gently helping them explain.

"Zhenzhen, you see, he is still very gentle in front of the children. You say, wait, when we have a child, will he be nicer to us? ”

On a small card seat not far away, Dong Gu and Kong Sizhen were drinking delicious milkshakes while secretly looking over here.

Now the main restaurant of the back house of Xu Mansion is completely a super garden model, and the combination of Chinese and Western is very complicated, but it complements each other.

It has been a few days since Dong Gu and Kong Sizhen came here for dinner, from the beginning of being amazed by the layout of the place, to being attracted by the food here, until now they have eased up a little.

It's a pity that in the past few days, it was the first time they saw Xu Changqing come back for dinner.

Looking at Dong Gu's blushing little face, Kong Sizhen couldn't help but ask: "Zhenzhen, you, are you enchanted?" Are you really going to live with this thief for the rest of your life? He is the mortal enemy of our Qing Kingdom. ”

Saying that, Kong Sizhen was angry, hating iron but not steel.

She had already prepared many routines for Xu Changqing, who would have thought that Xu Changqing would not be able to see anyone at all.

Especially thinking of Xu Changqing's harassment of her that night, she couldn't wait to devour Xu Changqing alive.

"What if you don't do it in this life? Zhenzhen, do you still want to change your fate? Hehe. ”

Dong Gu smiled slightly and shook his head: "This is our life." At least, he's not bad for us. ”

"You ......"

Kong Sizhen was speechless for a while, how could he have thought that even Donggu was faintly about to be subdued by Xu Changqing...... The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, only to feel that my lungs were about to be blown up, my eyes rolled, I thought about it, and said: "Since you don't believe it, then, wait a minute, I'll let you see how bad this thief really is!" ”

"Zhenzhen, you, don't mess around."

Dong Gu was taken aback, and was busy with low persuasion.

"Hee-hee, how could I mess around? Don't worry, Dongguo, I just want you to see the true face of Xu Changqing, the evil thief. ”

Kong Sizhen swore an oath.

……

Xu Changqing didn't seem to know that Kong Sizhen, the little girl, was calculating him, of course, even if he knew, Xu Changqing was not afraid.

If she really dares to play any kind of moth, Xu Changqing doesn't mind teaching her how to be a person.

In fact, at this time, Xu Changqing also realized that Kong Sizhen's little tender girl is much more ghostly than Dongguo, not to mention that she is afraid of bad water in her stomach.

In the words of the common people, it is: "When you are young, you don't look like a good person." ”

After accompanying the children for a while, the banquet officially began.

Most of the time the Xu family's dinner is divided into meals, more Western [www.bequge.xyz] style, mainly to avoid wasting food, but today is Chinese New Year's Eve night, so it can't be Western, it's still a big table meal.

It's just that Xu Changqing's wives and concubines are already more than 20 people, plus the elders and children, one table will definitely not be able to sit down, and several tables have been opened.

After Xu Changqing delivered a year-end summary and New Year's speech, the atmosphere quickly became lively.

The children were full after a few bites, and under the leadership of Xu Xin, the little witch, they directly dragged the maid to the garden to put flowers.

But some of them are too young, and even have just learned to walk, so they can't rest assured that they are only handed over to the maids and nurses, and their mothers can only go with them, and they can't take care of eating, so they can only come back to eat later.

Li Youwei's mother Zou, Wu Xiang and his wife, etc., many elders of Xu Changqing's wife are there, Xu Changqing is not lonely, and toasts them one by one.

Especially Wu Xiang.

The more this old guy looks at Xu Changqing now, the more satisfied he becomes, and of course, he also feels a strong pressure.

After all, there are not too many people who want to marry Xu Changqing now.

Throughout the world, countless wealthy families are carefully cultivating and educating their daughters, and they want to marry them to Xu Changqing in order to satisfy their goals.

The Li family was already weak at this time, and Wu Xiang was not too weak, but the Heavenly Family, the Zheng Family, including the Zuo Family and the Kong Family, made Wu Xiang, an old guy, suffer from insomnia frequently.

Waiting for Xu Changqing to come over to toast, Wu Xiang finally seized the opportunity to chat with Xu Changqing, and said with a smile: "Virtuous son-in-law, this year, our Haicheng has achieved remarkable results." ”

Xu Changqing also wanted to have a good chat with Wu Xiang, after all, this old guy actually paid a lot for the stability of Haicheng, but in a flash, he saw Zhang Baozhu who was like a lonely self-appreciator, how could Xu Changqing still talk to Wu Xiang?

Cleverly found a chance to get out, and made an appointment to have a good chat tomorrow, Xu Changqing first went to have a drink with Zhu Yujiao, and then went to the garden to see the children, which seemed to come to Zhang Baozhu's side inadvertently.

Zhang Baozhu was admiring the moon at the gate of the garden, she didn't notice Xu Changqing coming, or Xu Changqing coughed lightly a few times, she came back to her senses and looked at Xu Changqing Shili: "I've seen Master Hou." ”

Xu Changqing laughed dryly, secretly looked around and no one was watching, and said with a low smile: "Madam, how are you doing these days?" I've been so busy these days that I don't have time to go over and see you......"

"Huh."

Zhang Baozhu looked at Xu Changqing with a playful smile: "Master Hou should be busy with official business, why isn't he busy now?" ”

But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Baozhu regretted it, and his face couldn't stop being hot, what was wrong with him? Could it be that you are really hooked?

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Baozhu, you know, I am also a person in the rivers and lakes, and I can't help myself." Let's not talk about it for a while, I'll punish myself with three cups and make amends to you! ”

Hearing that Xu Changqing actually called her name directly, Zhang Baozhu suddenly glanced at Xu Changqing in shame.

But seeing that Xu Changqing really killed three glasses of wine decisively, between her eyebrows, she couldn't help but smile softly.
