The sound of the waterfall was bursting, and the water surface was constantly rippling and rippling, and the sun was shining, so that both of them couldn't open their eyes.

Looking away from the lake, both of them looked at each other in unison, and suddenly there was no speech, and the surrounding environment became more and more quiet.

Lin Mengyao looked at Zhao Rui's eager eyes, and suddenly panicked like a deer in her heart, she wanted to escape Zhao Rui's hot gaze, but she was reluctant.

The reflected sunlight was on Lin Mengyao's pretty face, and the more Zhao Rui looked at it, the more he liked it, probably because he was often in the workshop, Lin Mengyao was more white and delicate than before.

Zhao Rui couldn't help it, and grabbed Lin Mengyao's slender waist, which was amazingly soft, and at the same time kissed Mengyao's lips deeply.

Lin Mengyao had no scruples here, and responded enthusiastically, and the two kissed until they were a little out of breath, and then reluctantly parted.

Lin Mengyao leaned on Zhao Rui's arms, his broad chest and powerful arms, how long had he not felt it.

"Brother Zhao, I miss you very much......"

After saving for a long time, Lin Mengyao reluctantly said goodbye to Zhao Rui at the door of the workshop.

When he arrived at the mansion of Dabao City, Zhao Rui summoned the team to go on the road again, and asked Lin Mengyao to say that Zhao Rui also wanted to go to Shenglong to see if it was really as good as she said.

Everywhere Zhao Rui's team passed, they were warmly welcomed by the local people, and the satisfaction in the hearts of the soldiers in the team was simply bursting, and it was a blessing in their lives to be able to follow Zhao Rui to conquer the world.

Not to mention anything else, just because he is loved by the people, what king in the world can do it?

Temporarily rested in Langlang for one night, and arrived in Wanya Prefecture at noon the next day.

Zhao Rui arrived around the smelting and manufacturing workshop, and obviously found that there were a lot of sturdy people, all of them were places of heavy labor, and it was normal for there to be more men, just looking at their physique, they must have improved in food.

Wei Lu and the others heard that Zhao Rui was coming, and they ran out to greet them enthusiastically, they could no longer describe Zhao Rui as grateful, they were just a group of blacksmiths before, but now Zhao Rui gave them the title of researcher, and the treatment was even much higher than that of being a soldier, which became an enviable profession.

"Why, I heard that the steam train is in trouble?" Zhao Rui followed them into the workshop, ready to see the real thing.

"Yes, even if we have overcome a lot, we still have a lot of problems, and we are not doing well in terms of minimum motivation now."

Zhao Rui just smiled, thinking that this is also normal, how easy is it to be a steam train?

In modern history, the steam engine was invented in 1688, and Watt spent thirty years renovating the steam engine in 1763. The steam engine was used for ships in 1807 and for trains only in 1814.

It's not accidental, it's just that the technical aspect is not up to scratch.

Now that he heard that the steam train was about to be developed, Zhao Rui had already secretly enjoyed it.

If it weren't for the books brought back from the modern era, I don't know how long it would have been.

"The key to improving thermal efficiency is sealing, and it may be that your mechanical accuracy is not up to it, so it is easy to cause problems such as air leakage in the piston......

As Zhao Rui spoke, he was led to an outdoor shed, next to the black wall, and on the opposite side was lush with lush woods and gusting mountain winds, which made people feel comfortable.

"Where's the train?"

Zhao Rui looked around, and there was no shadow of the train at all.

"In ...... Behind you, Lord Wang......" Wei Lu said with some embarrassment.

"Behind you...... What the! This...... This is the train you made? ”

Zhao Rui looked at the "black wall" behind him, and his surprised mouth could stuff an egg.

It turned out that this black wall was made by them, the shell of the so-called train, Zhao Rui raised his neck and circled, this guy is really too big.

"Lord Wang, we also know the size in the book, but in fact, this is the smallest model we can make!"

Zhao Rui sighed, feeling that he was still in a hurry, the current level of steel production was not enough to support the completion of a steam train.

It seems that it is better to take it step by step.

After thinking about the steps, Zhao Rui in turn gave kind words and comforted to their technicians.

At the same time, they also lined up new engineering goals!

Since the small one can't be made, it's no problem to be so big, Zhao Rui asked them to bring the relevant books of the steamship, go to Thang Long with them first, and then follow him to Anbang Prefecture, where they will inspect the specifications of the warship on the spot, and then design a steam-powered ship as soon as possible!

With a new goal, the researchers temporarily forgot the unhappiness in their hearts, and after preparing for a night, they took the books and went on the road with Zhao Rui.

Wanya Prefecture left steel smelting technicians to continue to improve the process.

Not far out of Wanya Prefecture, even after walking out of the mountains and woodlands, the terrain became flat, and the speed of the team's march also accelerated.

The closer he got to Thang Long, the more Zhao Rui felt the density of the population, which was also a densely populated place before, but ordinary people were not in the current state at all.

Zhao Rui looked at the pedestrians on the road who were all brightly dressed and calm, obviously their lives had been greatly improved.

The itinerary of Zhao Rui and the others quickly reached the palace of Shenglong City, which caught Chen Xuan off guard, thinking that Zhao Rui would not say hello at all, so that he was not prepared at all.

Even so, Chen Xuan temporarily summoned all the major ministers to meet Zhao Rui's team together.

When they met again, after nearly a year of war, Zhao Rui had a murderous aura at any time, which shocked all the officials in Jiaozhi.

The most important thing is that Zhao Rui defeated Xiangfan, and beat the Yuan and Song dynasties to a weak fightback, which surprised the officials on the Jiaozhi side.

It's not that they haven't fought the Yuan army, and they can't even compete with Dali's military strength, which shows how powerful the Yuan Dynasty is.

But Zhao Rui came out of the horse and actually won Xiangfan, which was surrounded by the Yuan Dynasty, which was like an iron bucket, which is really incredible!

met with a group of important ministers and said hello, Chen Xuan immediately welcomed Zhao Rui into the palace.

When he arrived at the emperor's study, there were no outsiders, and Chen Xuan immediately knelt down and saluted Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui didn't care about these courtesies, and helped Chen Xuan up to speak.

Chen Xuan seems to have something to say to Zhao Rui, especially about the problem of textile construction, the problem of city construction, and the big and small achievements made, Chen Xuan seems to have to report his merits.

Zhao Rui listened and nodded uncontrollably, Chen Xuan is good, and he can even catch up with Zhang Zhennan's role, at least he is developing on the Jiaozhi side, Zhao Rui is still completely relieved.

At this time, the country of Cochin was rich and the people were strong, even Angkor did not dare to look for trouble, but the two countries began to have good trade exchanges, and it was also an important channel for the export of Cochin fabrics.

Zhao Rui had an understanding of this before, because he went to Angkor, their king regarded himself as a god, plus his relationship with Jiaozhi, so they were not enemies of Jiaozhi, but after all, they are two countries, with different customs and cultures, and it is inevitable that some collisions will occur occasionally.

Since he talked about Angkor, Chen Xuan frowned and said: "I came in and exchanged letters with the King of Angkor, and he mentioned that there is a small country called Sukhothai in the west that is gradually growing and growing, and Angkor is becoming more and more able to deal with it, it seems that he wants us to send troops to help him, I don't know what the prince means?" ”

"Well, there's no need to bother with this for the time being, but if their royal family or people run to our territory to seek refuge, we must help."

Zhao Rui has little interest in the territory in the west for the time being, one is that Angkor has a vast territory, but the economic development is too backward, even if Zhao Rui wins the territory, it is likely that too much energy and wealth will be consumed in development, and the other two centers Thang Long and Fancheng are both in the rising period of development, and hard work is fundamental, and there is really no energy to go to Angkor to toss again.

Moreover, even if there are conditions again, Zhao Rui even wants to develop Dali well, but Dali has just ended the war, and some ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, and it still takes some time to recover.

The second is that if Zhao Rui did not participate in the battle of Xiangfan, it would have been fine, but now the situation has changed, so Zhao Rui has no desire to conquer the territory in the west for the time being.

Then, accompanied by Chen Xuan, Zhao Rui went to the textile center to visit, and Huang Xiu introduced Zhao Rui to several new workshops that had just been built.

This place is thriving, and Zhao Rui is very pleased.

Huang Xiu is a rare talent, she not only built a large number of weaving factories, but also united with Wanyazhou to create a sewing machine in this era, to make clothes for fabrics, which belongs to deep processing, bringing more lucrative benefits.

Zhao Rui affirmed this time and commended Huang Xiu on the spot.

After staying for a day, Zhao Rui led the team to set off towards Anbang Prefecture.

In fact, it is really not a good errand to travel long distances in the territory of Cochin, it is hot and stuffy, and no one will feel comfortable with too high humidity, but Zhao Rui, as the ruler of a large territory, or a person who looks at the overall situation and plans, he must do these tasks in the early stage.

How nice it would be if there were airplanes......

Zhao Rui touched his wet clothes and sighed, if there is no plane, the train will do......

But the reality is neither......

In the past few days, I have entered the rainforest again, and it is even more difficult to walk.

There is no way, I can only endure this silently, for this reason, Zhao Rui has already decided in his heart that after arriving in Anbang Prefecture, he will take a boat back to Fancheng, even if it is a long distance and it takes time to go around in a big circle, he will admit it!

It's a southerly day these days, and although it is just as humid as it approaches Ampang, the cool breeze on the sea has played a role, making people feel better.

Su Tuo, the military general who stayed in Wanya Prefecture before, has already been lined up by Zhao Rui to Anbang Prefecture, which can now be described as a place where gold and silver are piled up, and the money for the sale of fabrics will be stored here, and then when needed, it will be invested in the construction of Jiaozhi, Anbang Prefecture is very much in need of the protection of military forces, and other cities are in the territory, compared to here It is still a lot safer.
