Chapter 162: Peat

When Guoxinga was preparing to build an arsenal, he had to consider a lot of things, not only to avoid the disclosure of the inside information by too many people and unnecessary troubles in the imperial court, but also to consider the safety of the arsenal. The enemy of the next war must be the British and French forces, and Goxinga does not want to be raided, so the arsenal must be built according to the conditions of a defensive fortress.

It is best to build in the mountains, which is both hidden and convenient for defense, but Gu'an is very face-fighting for the North China Plain, it is really very flat, and there is not a single mountain range in the territory. While others were reunited with their families in the city and were desperately trying to get stuck, Xishou was still working outside, and he had to find a place for Guoxinga to build an arsenal. Hurriedly went home to meet his family, left some silver, and Xishou stepped on the war horse and set off again.

He is the most thorough person among Guoxing's subordinates, everything is a floating cloud, his body has been covered with Guoxinga's brand, only Guoxinga is good He will have glory and wealth, and the magnitude of glory and wealth lies in his current performance. At present, it is temporary to return to the city, Guoxinga is still young, and the road ahead is still long! As long as you behave well, in the future, when Guoxinga becomes the governor and Guoxinga becomes the capital, the day of your own victory will really come.

After all the hardships, Xishou really found a suitable place five miles away from the city. There were no mountains, but he found a high ground, which was a large mound. However, the terrain here is very good, and the surrounding people have been building houses or paving roads for hundreds of years, all of which have taken soil from here, and have changed the nearby landforms. The terrain of the highlands now resembles an eagle spreading its wings, holding in its arms a large clearing dug up by the people.

After asking Goxinga to inspect it once, Xishou began to build the first arsenal of Goxinga here. Guoxing Ah fully approved 10,000 taels of silver, and the bricks, stones, and wood were used casually. Xishou gave up all the sappers under his command and began to build factories on sixteen acres of open land, and at the same time began to build a defensive line on the high ground according to the permanent firepower point required by Goxinga. When the factory was small and large, Guo Xing'a came to the construction site with three staff members left by his cheap father.

"Your Excellency!" After Xishou got the report, he hurriedly came over to ask Guoxing Ah to say goodbye, and he also put a lot of effort into his image, dressed in a short dress, covered with dirt and dust.

"Thank you for your hard work! How's the progress? Although he knew that Xishou was performing in front of him, Guo Xinga still recognized Xishou's hard work.

"The foundations were all laid firmly, and the foundations of all the fortresses and fortifications were rammed with rubble according to the orders of the lord, and all of them were more than eighty centimeters thick. Some of the cement commanded by Lord Rong has also been produced, but the output is low, and some of it cannot keep up with the progress of our side. Saying that only the foundation had been laid, Xishou found that Guo Xing'a frowned, and he also knew that Guo Xing'a couldn't wait to sleep and get up with everything. Of course, the responsibility cannot be taken on oneself, and Rong Hong is a ready-made target. It's all to blame for Rong Hong's low cement output, or I would have finished the work a long time ago. Of course, Xishou also wondered why Guoxinga attached so much importance to cement! This new gadget that Rong Hong got back is so good?

"Let's go to Da Meng's side and have a look!" Guo Xing'a also knew that he didn't even have a factory, so he forced Rong Hong to make cement, and he was a little embarrassed.

Guo Xing'a and Rong Hong both know about cement, but neither of them has ever done it. Rong Hong did go overseas to purchase a machine for producing cement, but he bought a large grinding machine, because there was no special machine for producing cement in this era. At present, the production of cement is made of limestone and clay as raw materials, and after matching according to a certain proportion, the mature material is calcined in a vertical kiln similar to burnt lime, and then it can be ground into powder. To put it simply, Guo Xing'a also hired a large number of lime-burning workers to come back to build a kiln and calcine the raw materials, but the progress of grinding was too slow. Rong Hong felt that it was useless, so he only bought a grinder, and the steam engine coal to drive the machine was not enough, and most of it had to be ground by hand.

"My lord, when will the turtle grandsons you sent to buy coal come back, this steam engine can't burn charcoal! Now the grinding is all by hand, and Xishou is still urging me every day, and my fucking hands are about to grind out sparks. Rong Hong didn't salute Guo Xing'a, and when he came up, he began to ask Guo Xing'a about the progress of purchasing raw materials, and because of the experience of the beggars, the words were extremely rough. But he was really hard, wearing a small coat covered in cement ash, and sweat and cement made him look like terracotta warriors.

"Da Meng has worked hard! Don't do these hard work, the cement is dusty and hurts the lungs! "Guo Xing'a really feels sorry for Rong Hong, the former returnees are now the best turtles in the turtles.

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't care if you freeze Xishou to death! Lao Tzu wants coal! "Rong Hong is now mixed with the recruits, and it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish them.

"Uncle Sai sent someone to urge, and it will definitely arrive within three days!" Guo Xing'a is really moved, Rong Hong is only because of a patriotic heart, just because he believes in himself, this is desperate!

"Da Meng, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Pi Runmin Pi...... "Guo Xing'a felt that Rong Hong should be counted as a wave with these three people, and the four of them can be regarded as his own civil official team, so he wants to introduce them to each other and let them get to know each other closely.

"You wait, you can talk about it at any time, you explain it to Lao Tzu first, how much coal you bought back!" Rong Hong thought for a while, but didn't listen to anything from Guo Xing'a, and then interrupted him rudely.

"Uh...... Fifteen cars, but it's a small car, about 80,000 catties! Guo Xing'a was extremely embarrassed and apologized to Zou Degui and the three of them, and the three of them smiled and expressed their understanding.

"80,000 catties is four tons ......" Rong Hong calculated in his mind, he studied in the United States, and he was relatively familiar with units of measurement such as pounds, and he was a little slow to respond to metric units.

"Don't run! Wait for me! ......" Rong Hong pointed at Guo Xing'a, then turned around and ran away quickly.

"Forgive me, three gentlemen! Da Meng's overseas return ceremony is quite incomplete, and he is too serious in his work, the three of them are not strange! As soon as Rong Hong left, Guo Xing'a hurriedly apologized to Zou Degui and the others.

"Dong Weng doesn't have to mind, a person like Rong Dameng who is willing to work hard is really rare in the world!" Zou Degui found Rong Hong's figure in the pile of workers, and he couldn't tell the difference.

Xishou is also calculating on the side, should he also learn from Rong Hong! Next time, will you also have some murder for Guoxing!

"You're going to buy four tons of coal and come back, fooling the hell! Are you stupid, this is a steam engine not an old hen, do you think your family buys coal for the winter! Now it's just making cement, and after a while the factory is built, and those machines don't work. Didn't you say you also built a steam engine? Lao Tzu has bought all the rubber back for you, and the machines will be made in the future, so you will have this coal? Xishou went out to a girl's kung fu, and Lao Tzu's machines in the entire factory had to stop! When Rong Hong ran back, he took a notebook, wrote it and counted it again, and then yelled at Guo Xing'a, and the vulgarity of the words made the three literati retreat again and again. Rong Hong's words are really a bit difficult to describe, and the shrew scolds the street, but he doesn't give him any strength.

"Da Meng, rest assured, rest assured! This is the first batch, you get the cement first, and when it starts to move in the future, I will sell the house and ensure that you have enough coal! Guo Xing'a was a little scared now when he looked at Rong Hong, who was dancing with his teeth and claws, was this still the returnee scribe he knew?

"You go home to your mother, come to your mother-in-law's tattoo, and engrave these words on your body! If there is no coal, I will settle accounts with you. In a word, these machines of Lao Tzu can't burn wood! Rong Hong is right.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Goxinga's head was covered with cold sweat.

"Da Meng! You see if you have time to read some poetry books, you are now full of foul mouth, a little inappropriate, isn't it ......" Guo Xing'a tried his best to persuade Rong Hong.

“HowthefuckdidIbecomelikethis? (How the fuck did I end up like this?) Rong Hong rarely said another sentence in English, of course, the fragments were still not omitted.

"Lao Tzu is not free now, when your great revival is realized, Lao Tzu will learn Sven again!" Rong Hong is looking forward to the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation as Guo Xing'a.

"I'll do it!" Guo Xing'a can't say anything now except being moved.

"Do you have any managerial talents, get one for me, I can't figure it out!" Rong Hong is technically okay, after all, he has received a Western system education, and he can understand most things. But he really can't control people, the deployment of workers and the scheduling of materials, he is miserable every day. These workers have more money and less money to make trouble, and they have to make trouble when they have more rest and less rest, and Rong Hong has nothing to do with them.

"Didn't I say that? System, use the system to manage! The small team accepts each other with kindness, and the large team must be restrained by the system. Guo Xing'a handed over the set he learned from the company in his previous life to Rong Hong, but it seems that Rong Hong's actual operation is not good.

"Yun Shuai is really a dragon and a phoenix among people, and the words of Jin Yu came out casually, and the students admired and admired!" Before Rong Hong could speak, Zheng Qifeng praised first.

"I don't care! How many things do I do in a day, and you still ask me to study the system, I can't figure it out, you can get someone who understands! "Rong Hong doesn't have time to study any golden and jade words.

"Mr. Layer Luan, can you please stay here for a while to help Da Meng!" The gang of people in the Guoxing'a army will talk about things with knives and guns, Guoxing'a doesn't want to turn the construction site into a concentration camp, since Zheng Qifeng jumped out by himself, he just happened to see the level of this master.

"Dare not be effective, but ......" Zheng Qifeng's following words did not come out, it is okay to stay here, but you are too many people, and the news has leaked, what should I do with my head.

"Don't worry, Mr. Layer Luan, I have everything in the official face, as for the people on the underworld, I will transfer another one over later, I don't believe that anyone has the ability to take the head of the general among the thousands of troops." Guo Xing'a also knew that these three people were the masters of life, and he knew how careful he was when he saw that the small courtyard was like a haunted house.

"In this way, the students are relieved!" Zheng Qifeng is younger after all, and there are some novelties on this construction site, and he also wants to stay and see it.

"Fuquan, transfer Cao Meng's fourth company and Changlu's reconnaissance company, without my military order, those who trespass here or snoop around will be killed!" Guo Xing'a not only wants to protect Zheng Qifeng, he also doesn't want his R&D base to leak the news. Unless Goxinga moves, everything here will be closed except for high-rise access.

"Da Meng! I'll introduce you to you......" Guo Xing'a also wanted to introduce the two.

"your salted duck eggs!" Rong Hong didn't shake off Guo Xing'a at all, and pulled Zheng Qifeng away.

"Listen to me tell you! This side is the cement factory, this side is the workshop, and there is the ......" Rong Hong pulled Zheng Qifeng all the way and walked away, not even leaving time for Zheng Qifeng to say goodbye to a few people.

"Mr. Zeyuan can visit here with Xishou for a while, and I will take Mr. Huaien to arrange some people." Guo Xing'a left Pi Runmin, and he mysteriously took Zou Degui and Han Ying to a forest not far away.
