On the sixth day of the ninth month, Bailiyan took Gongliang Xiu Gongliangxu and his son to visit Yongxing City, before that, except for Bo Yuanjun and others, no foreign magnates were allowed to enter Yongxing, and the same was true after Gongliangxu entered Yongxing.

After entering the city, Bailiyan didn't go anywhere, and first led Gongliang father and son to Yongxing Iron Bridge, so that the two of them could see the steel production of Xianguo, and the steel consumed by this bridge alone was much more than the iron production of the princes in a year, and the steel cost countless people on the railroad tracks laid on the ground.

Later, he arranged for his father and son to visit Xicheng metallurgical production, and for the first time they saw the Gongliang repair of the industrialized steelmaking blast furnace, they were immediately shocked by the blast furnace that towered into the sky, he said

"This is where the steel of the Xianguo is made?"

"Yes, before Xianguo built the railway, Gongliangxiu only thought that the Xianguo railway produced only 10 million catties."

Gongliangxiu nodded and asked in a low voice

"And now?"

"Excluding other copper and tin, only the most common steel can break through 50,000 catties by the end of this year."

"Five, fifty thousand! My father-in-law is talking about 50,000 catties! ”

Gongliang Xu was dumbfounded and shocked, and Gongliang Xiu's face sank like water on the side, and he said in despair

"I really didn't expect that the Xian country has become so strong, and the world is still in the dark."

"Hehe, let's go, let's go and have a look."

The shock of Gongliang's father and son was completely expected by Bai Liyan, after all, the raw wrought iron of all the princes added up is probably less than a fraction of the annual steel output of Xianguo, which does not include the production of pig iron, copper, tin, nickel, chromium, tungsten, molybdenum and other metal materials and special steel.

After the 400,000 jin blast furnace was successfully put into operation, Bailiyan successively built three 400,000 jin furnaces and seven 200,000 jin furnaces, the 400,000 jin furnace specializes in smelting carbon steel, 200,000 jin smelting special steel pig iron, and the other 200,000 jin or less is used for smelting pig iron, copper, tin, nickel, aluminum and other metals and other special steel with less output.

In addition, we should also thank the iron ore resources contributed by Changqu Iron Mine, which supports the supply of Yongxing Iron and Steel capacity expansion nearby, if there is no Changqu Iron Ore Mine dozens of miles away, the iron ore needed by Yongxing needs to be transported by primitive means from farther away.

Now that the railway is opened, Bailiyan plans to start building a million-pound open-hearth furnace next year, and steel output will go up the ladder.

Gongliang father and son visited Xicheng for three whole days, during which they went to the metallurgical mill, rolling mill, seamless steel pipe factory, and foundry to learn more about the output and production process. Then I stayed in Dongcheng for four days and visited various factories in Yongxing.

The reason why we should look at metallurgy first and then look at machinery production is that Bailiyan wants to tell Gongliangxiu that the foundation of technology is still basic industry, and without basic steel production, there is no place for advanced technology.

On September 19, the group left Yongxing and went to the garrison of the Eighth Town Army west of Yongxing to watch the live firing of guns and cannons, and Gongliangxiu experienced the power of machine gun and cannon automation for the first time.

From September 21 to 23, Gongliang father and son arrived in Ruitian to visit light industry production, and on the 24th they went to Xuanyun to inspect Xuanyun's education and scientific research work, and met with Zhao Anling, Zong Botai and other core staff members of Bailiyan.

As Bai Liyan said, Zhiguo simply does not have the foundation to build a modern industry.

When the Black Turban Army broke out, no one was optimistic about the Xian State on the verge of annihilation, but in fact, it did Bailiyan a great favor, and the Black Turban Army eliminated all the aristocratic and powerful forces west of the Yongxing River, leaving a promising policy vacuum.

Without solving the land problem, liberating agricultural productivity, developing education and industry, it is all empty talk, and the princes of all countries today are facing the constraints brought about by the division of feuds, and the same is true of the Zhiguo.

On the twenty-fifth night of September, at the Xuanyun Pavilion Station, Gongliang father and son "talked with candles at night" under a bright incandescent lamp.

"It seems that I greatly underestimated Xianguo, and underestimated your father-in-law......"

"Father, the child thinks that what his father-in-law said still has some truth, looking at the universe, no one in the world can beat the Xianguo, and sweeping the world is just around the corner. But the father-in-law never relied on the army to respect himself, acted domineeringly to take the world, and used the king's principles to convince the world and win the hearts of the people, which shows that the father-in-law gave the princes the greatest tolerance.

Now he proposes to his father to unify the world, which shows that his father-in-law is very fond of Zhiguo, and it is not impossible to rule the world together. ”

After Gongliang Xu finished speaking, Gongliang Xiu shook his head and sneered

"Hehe, how can you guess about military affairs. Do you know your father-in-law, or do you know your father-in-law for the father. ”

"It's the child who talks too much, and asks the father to calm his anger."

"That's it, don't mention this matter again, so as not to bring disaster to the family."

"No."

Gongliang Xiu was not sure what Baili Yan wanted in his heart, and his thinking was still stuck in the political side of dividing the land to stand on his own feet and occupying the mountain as the king, and he couldn't imagine the situation of uniting to govern the world together. Therefore, Bai Liyan's suggestion inevitably filled his hunger with some painting cakes, so that Gongliang Xiu couldn't see through it.

At the same time, Bai Liyan watched the singing performance of Nilkocco students in the Xuanyun University Hall of Music. The people of Nierkoko have a cultural tradition of singing and chanting and performing dramas, and almost every ten days and half a month, they hold a bonfire in the settlement, singing and dancing.

Through the observation of the last year or so, it has also verified some habits of the Nirkocco people.

Because they are so smart, with the same class time and teaching content, Nilkocco people only need 80% of human time to fully understand and digest, and they are efficient, remembered, and can be used lively.

So they have a lot of time to do some leisure activities, and whenever they have the opportunity, they will try to make a profit.

In recent months, there have been people from Nilkocco who have engaged in some side jobs in Xuanyun City to make money, such as renting a house and opening a theater to act and tell jokes, and also opening massage parlors to provide back knocking massage services.

In less than half a year, some people actually bought a stroller version of the bicycle customized for them.

To say that this group of guys is smart enough, human beings buy bicycles for the convenience of travel, they are good, buy bicycles and go back to figure out how to make money.

A group of them got together and found that there was a vacuum industry called a bicycle 4S shop, so they sent people to Yongxing Vehicle Factory to learn bicycle assembly and repair, and then set up a bicycle 4S shop in Xuanyun City.

Bailiyan observed for a period of time, but it was only more than a year, and they discovered a large number of potential industries, which will not be robbed of human jobs if they integrate into human society in the future, but Ranlan explained the benefits of social division of labor and species division of labor from another angle.

The singing and chorus lasted for half an hour, both in human and Nilcocco dialects, like a duck beating in front of them, which was not a good pleasure, but they enjoyed it.

In fact, if you think about it the other way, the people of Nilkocco also feel unhappy when they listen to human chanting, which is a bit like a chicken talking with a duck, a paradoxical feeling.

But as an open political activity, it is a big saw, and you have to endure it.

After the choir ended, Bai Liyan met with the head of the Nilkoco international student group and the representatives of the international students one by one, and attached a message to encourage them to study hard and improve every day, in fact, they are also "going up every day".

In the evening, Bailiyan stayed in the official residence of Zhongxingjun Jiang Can in Xuanyun, after Jiang Can and his wife Gao's Bailixuan got married, the working relationship was still in Xuanyun Yicaotang, so the official residence was located in Xuanyun City to facilitate continued production and work.

Last year, he married Bai Lixuan's personal maid Wei Ningning as a concubine, Wei Qi naturally upgraded his brother-in-law, and Wei Qi also married Jiang Can's mother's maiden daughter.

As a result, Bailiyan compensated her daughter and folded the army, and pasted Wei Qi upside down to Jiang Can's guard, and Bailiyan transferred Wei Qi to Xuanyun Military Academy for further study.

In fact, at this time, Bai Liyan vaguely discovered that King Xian was a master of power.

The old team of Ding Yang Hou Gongsun Yue Jiang Yan is largely the limitation of history at that time, King Xian can only choose his own team in a limited talent system, so if he wants to realize his life ambitions, he can only choose Ding Yang Hou and Gongsun Yue's team, there is no other way.

Otherwise, his brother Fengyangjun is the rightful heir, and if he doesn't kill his eldest brother, he won't be able to sit on the throne.

At the same time, the political situation in the Central Plains at that time was completely different from today.

Forty years ago, it was the heyday of the Liang Kingdom, the ambitions of the Chengdao faction had not yet been exposed, and a monarch in the deep palace could not detect the conspiracy behind it.

Until Bailiyan came to prominence, providing a new choice for King Xian and unveiling the prelude to the rise of the Xianguo, Yongxing changed the law to almost everything King Xian wanted. But the struggle for the rights of the royal family and the nobility forced King Xian to balance all forces.

In the end, the balance came and balanced, Bai Liyan found that he was still being set aside, and even the powerful chief of the guard around him was taken away by Jiang Can in the name of marriage, if he wanted to be unfavorable to the Jiang family in the future, Bai Liyan believed that Wei Qi would not hesitate to stand on Jiang Can's side and make enemies of him.

But this is an extreme situation, in the calculation of King Xian, he Bailiyan will never be able to betray the Jiang family, because this game of chess will tie him to the death of the Jiang family's ship, and it will not be concluded until the day he dies.

The next day, Bai Liyan accompanied Gongliangxiu and his son to leave Xuanyun for the royal family, and Gongliangxiu had been worried about the road all the time.

Baili Yan expected that he must be very confused now, and began to doubt the future and life. But it is undeniable that the huge space-time effect caused by the appearance of Bailiyan has seriously impacted the historical process in this time and space, and if it were not for him, it might be a different ending.

The horse team traveled in a hurry all the way to the northeast and fast, but just after the hour, a team of cavalry behind him hurriedly chased after him, it was the horse team of the royal guest, led by the white-haired Tang Zhao and the military advisor Su Fangyi, the two came together, Baili Yan felt that something big had happened.
