Chapter 144: Busy and Busy Listening to the Play
Gao Junshan, accompanied by Sun Yuanhua, inspected the ironworks again, because of the refractory materials, the coke was burned, and the ironworks had already begun blast furnace steelmaking.
After inspecting the ironworks, Gao Junshan said goodbye to Sun Yuanhua and returned to the city, and when he was separated from Sun Yuanhua, Gao Junshan told Sun Yuanhua to take care of his health.
Back to Xiangyang City, Gao Junshan went to the government office, at this time the army division Bailisha sat in Xiangyang, and Gao Junshan saw Bailisha in the front hall of the government.
"Bailisha greets King Qin!" Bailisha hurriedly got up and saluted Gao Junshan.
Gao Junshan first learned about the development of Xiangyang in the past year, and praised Bailisha, saying that he was a capable minister of governing the country, and then told Bailisha about the situation of going to the ironworks, and finally said to Bailisha the real purpose of this visit: "Huo Lao will send him more manpower, his people there will be doubled, and the funds will be increased for him, and I want him to make me more guns." ”
"I'll do it!"
Gao Junshan bowed his head and said: "You also have to redraw a plan at the ironworks, allocate more steel to build guns, Huo Lao there is not enough steel, they can only produce thirty barrels a day, I need them to produce fifty barrels a day." ”
"I'm afraid it won't work." "Steel is very scarce, and they are reaching out everywhere to ask for it, and they all say that they are the most important." ”
Gao Junshan said categorically: "The others can be temporarily shortage, and we will talk about satisfying the old fire first." ”
Bailisha was very embarrassed: "King Qin, Sun Hejing's artillery production needs a lot of steel, Li Yuanli's shipyard also needs a lot of steel, as well as the 'swarm' rockets that equip the cavalry, and the 'swarm' rockets that equip the convoy, all need a lot of steel. ”
Gao Junshan thought for a while and said, "Then reduce the amount of steel used in Li Yuanli's shipyard." ”
Bailisha said: "I reduced their steel consumption, and Li Yuanli still didn't look for me to fight hard?" He muttered all day long that he wanted to build big ships, big ships. ”
Gao Junshan said sternly: "This is an order, it must be executed!" If there is a problem, ask Li Yuanli to come to me. ”
"Yes!"
"In addition," Gao Junshan added, "Huo Lao is old, and you have a full-time maid to take care of him." ”
"Yes!"
"Okay, don't put a straight face with me. Relax today, let's go to the opera garden to listen to the play. ”
Bailisha looked aggrieved: "Is it you who keep a straight face?" I won't go to the theater, you can find someone else. ”
Gao Junshan did not relent: "Let's go!" Let's go! Take me to see the style of Xinxiangyang, and then find a theater garden to accompany me to listen to the opera, I haven't listened to the opera for more than a year. ”
"Ahem! I can't walk away, what can I do? Only to sacrifice his life to accompany the gentleman! Bailisha stood up and sighed.
"Let's go! So many whining! ”
……
Escorted by Sun Kewang and others, they came to the street, of course, makeup is a must, otherwise it won't block the traffic?
The street is a prosperous scene, with a sea of people, people on the street are rubbing shoulders one after another, and the road is full of traffic and endless streams.
The bazaar they passed through, the sound of selling was one after another, and it was very lively, and there were many fun items here, including places for groceries and food and drink, as well as performances such as movie plays, miscellaneous plays, singing and earning, kicking, memorizing business riddles, and learning from the villagers.
Led by Bailisha, they walked through a few streets and came to a more secluded street, where there was a theater garden, where the rich people came to see the play.
At the gate of the opera garden, the gate is closed, and the sound of blowing, playing and singing can be heard from inside, and a middle-aged man in his forties wearing a long shirt and a melon skin hat stands at the gate of the opera garden and looks left and right.
Bailisha stepped forward and arched his hand to the man and asked, "May I ask the master, which one are you singing today?" ”
When the middle-aged man saw someone coming to see the play, he smiled all over his face: "Hello! Today's singing is "Liu Zhiyuan Returns Home". ”
Sun Kewang stepped forward with a fierce look in his eyes and asked, "How many people are there?" ”
The middle-aged man didn't see the purpose of Sun Kewang coming forward, and still greeted him with a smile: "There are not many people today, there are seats inside, if you want to watch the play, hurry up and buy tickets and take a seat." ”
Of course, Gao Junshan saw what Sun Kewang wanted to do, this was the rhythm of clearing the scene, he hurriedly grabbed Sun Kewang and said to the middle-aged man: "Let's buy tickets for three people." ”
The middle-aged man enthusiastically opened the closed door and said with a smile: "Then please come in!" ”
Gao Junshan glared at Sun Kewang and said, "Why don't you buy a ticket soon?" ”
Sun Kewang died of grievances, and went out to watch the play with you Gao Junshan, and he had to pay for tickets by himself, he reluctantly asked the middle-aged man: "How much is a person?" ”
"Five pennies."
"So expensive?" Sun Kewang reluctantly took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the middle-aged man, "No need to look for it, I have five or six brothers who want to go in together." ”
The middle-aged man nodded: "Please!" Be my guest! ”
A group of mermaids rushed in, and there were people who took the seats inside, and arranged Gao Junshan's people in the same row of seats, Sun Kewang didn't do it, he asked to arrange his own people in front and behind Gao Junshan, and then sat next to Gao Junshan with confidence.
After sitting down, Sun Kewang's first feeling was comfort. In the past, he had also seen plays, which were in his hometown, all in the open air, but now he is in a tall and spacious theater garden, and the feeling is different. In the past, if it was in winter, he would have to brave the bitter cold, and he remembered that several times he watched the play in the snowflakes, because the play was so attractive, he was so cold that he shrunk into a ball and shivered, but he insisted on watching it.
Although it is autumn now, and the red fire is rising in the theater garden, it is warm, but I don't watch the theater, I feel comfortable sitting dry.
After singing a fold, to change the gap of the next fold, someone handed a hot towel and served tea, Sun Kewang was at a loss for a moment for this enjoyment, took the towel and wiped it on his face, and when he picked up the teacup, he actually spilled the tea on his body, causing Gao Junshan to laugh.
Sun Kewang looked at the high mountains and Bailisha again, and the two of them took the hot towels, wiped their hands slowly, wiped their faces, and wiped their hair, which was really chic. When he was done, he handed the towel back to the man.
The teacup is held steadily, and the tea is drunk slowly. They made Sun Kewang feel that he was not here to watch a play, but to taste tea.
Sun Kewang also tasted tea in a similar way, and beckoned Xiao Er to pour tea from time to time.
Until the end of the play, Sun Kewang beckoned his brothers to go out to check the situation first, and stayed by Gao Junshan and Bailisha's side, and waited until all the people watching the play were gone, and the brothers from the outer gate came in to report that there was no abnormality, so he followed Gao Junshan and Bailisha with peace of mind, and walked out of the gate of the opera garden together.
The middle-aged man was still standing at the gate, and when he saw Gao Junshan and his party coming out, he nodded and said, "A few guest officers, go all the way, welcome to come again next time!" ”
Sun Kewang wanted to say something to the middle-aged man, but Gao Junshan's sharp eyes pulled Sun Kewang away and prevented him from speaking.
"King Qin, why are you pulling me?" Sun Kewang asked dissatisfied.
