After weighing many parties, Feng Xi, Zhang Nan and others made the choice of building a wharf for the owner of Huaxia Villa in exchange for the temporary right of residence in Ziguicheng.

After getting Feng Xi and Zhang Nan's accurate answers, Wang Wenqing and the three of them also breathed a sigh of relief, it is comfortable to have a backer behind them, who would believe that the three broken and fleeing Tuntian military households would dare to talk and laugh among the ten thousand troops.

Although the matter of building the wharf was decided, more details still had to be further clarified with Li Yan, so Wang Wenqing asked Feng Xi to also send an envoy to the villa to discuss relevant matters.

After discussion, Feng Xi wanted to sit in Zigui and wait for Liu Bei's reply, and Chen Shi wanted to control the soldiers of the navy, so he asked Zhang Nan to follow Wang Wenqing and the three to Huaxia Villa to discuss specific affairs.

……

On the river bank opposite Zigui City, Wang Wenqing reported to Wang Wushun about the trip to Zigui and the choice of the generals of the Shu army.

Looking at Zhang Nan's slightly pale face, Wang Wushun couldn't help but feel a strong sense of superiority in his heart: What about you holding heavy troops, have you ever seen such a magical thing? As far as you know, don't be frightened by the more amazing things when you get to the villa.

Wei Minsheng's voice came out through the walkie-talkie, and asked Wang Wushun to take Zhang Nan and a few people to the courtyard in the villa to wait first, and he would arrive in a while.

Sitting on a strangely shaped "iron horse" galloping on a flat road, Zhang Nan firmly grasped the iron railing in front of the tricycle with both hands, and Wei Minsheng's words seemed to linger in his ears with the sound of the whirring wind......

Is this a dream? The coldness of the hand made Zhang Nan understand that the "iron horse" under him was a real "iron horse", the gravel paved on the flat road felt exactly the same size in the high-speed movement, and the black box that could speak, as if there was a little red light flashing and flashing, it looked so weird......

Wei Minsheng, who learned about the latest situation, discussed with Li Yan, since this Zigui soldier was willing to help him repair the dock, there was no need to force them to hurry.

As long as they came to their own construction site, saw the superhuman power of those modern machinery and equipment, supplemented by the very generous treatment for them, and used some small means, how could these more than 10,000 people have to leave a few thousand people.

After making up his mind, Wei Minsheng put away the hydrogen balloons, hanging baskets and reclining chairs tied to the trees, returned to the gravel road with Li Yan, and then took out his second-hand van, opened the car door, and beckoned Li Yan to sit down.

Seeing that Wei Minsheng used that means of taking pictures in the air and making something out of nothing in front of him, showing his absolute trust in himself, Li Yan was very excited: following a fairy like the lord, he could only apologize for his death if he couldn't make a fortune in the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

The "Iron Horse" was still galloping on the flat road, and after a distance of about ten kilometers, according to the speed of the tricycle, it took less than a meal to reach the outside of Wei Minsheng's courtyard.

Wang Wushun parked the car, arranged them in the courtyard, and waited for Wei Minsheng's arrival.

Zhang Nan was already numb, not only his hands clenching the horizontal railing, but also the unbelievable things he had seen along the way, and he followed Wang Wushun to a strange courtyard with him.

Across the round table, sat three other people who were also depressed.

Zhang Nan's eyes were a little dull, and his mind kept repeating the pictures he saw all the way, there were two large houses several feet high on the left and right sides of the wide square, although the house was not as good as His Majesty's palace, but listening to the man named Wang Wushun, this house was actually made of iron sheets, how luxurious this must be, is it really as the three "clerks" said, the most important thing in this Huaxia Villa is steel? It's just too loser, it's unbearable "uncle".

Behind the square was a narrow valley in which stood a tall mountain gate, the high iron gate was said to weigh three thousand six hundred and fifty pounds, and it was also made of pure steel.

There is also the mountain gate that is seven or eight feet high, as if it is made of a whole stone, looking at the open mountain gate, it is like a huge mouth open, and a momentum of swallowing the sky is rushing towards him, so oppressive that Zhang Nan almost ran away...... Oh, the main reason is that the hand is too tight, and it has been a long time, and I can't let go for a while, otherwise Zhang Nan will flee back to Zigui.

After entering the mountain gate, surrounded by mountains, the only passage is another larger mountain gate, in the valley, only to feel that there are enemies on all sides, it is simply a Jedi of foot riding, so dangerous, who can break it?

After the second mountain gate, the scenery in front of me has changed again, and there is no longer that oppressive feeling, and there is a pastoral scenery in front of you, but there are more tin houses and inexplicable things......

After a while, Wei Minsheng drove a second-hand van and took Li Yan back to the courtyard of the villa, and asked him to talk to Zhang Nan alone.

After Li Yan got out of the car, he walked into the courtyard, looked at Zhang Nan, who was still in a daze at the table, dragged a chair and sat down, and said to Zhang Nan: "General Zhang, we meet again, welcome to our Huaxia Villa as a guest." At present, I am the newly appointed head of the foreign trade department of Huaxia Villa, and I am responsible for dealing with other countries.

I heard that you didn't pay the rent for occupying Zigui City, I originally thought that I should 'invite' you out, but my lord suddenly wanted to build a large wharf opposite Zigui City, and I also need some miscellaneous servants for the time being, since you are willing to do miscellaneous labor to offset the rent, I don't want to embarrass you, anyway, it doesn't matter to us whether this miscellaneous labor comes from Yiling or is from you, as long as someone works.

I believe that some basic information has been told to you by my subordinate Wang Wenqing, I wonder how many people you are going to send over? ”

Li Yan's words, although a little unkind, but Zhang Nan from this point of view, others have such confidence, in the face of these forces beyond their own cognition, people with a little vision will naturally have a fear of psychology, which is unavoidable.

Zhang Nan cleaned up his complicated mood and said, "Li ...... Minister Li, although we have more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Zigui, we need to guard the grain and grass, and we also need to keep some people to defend the city. ”

"Four thousand?" Li Yan recalled Wei Minsheng's words, and silently carried out the general planning of the personnel in his heart. After a while, he shook his head and said, "Maybe it's a little little!" ”

Zhang Nan said puzzledly: "Minister Li, we also roughly estimated that the terrain by the river is gentle, and it won't cost much work to repair the wharf. These 4,000 people, even if they turn over all the riverside and repair it all so that they can rely on the boat, it won't take a few days, right? ”

Li Yan stood up with his hands behind his back and said slowly: "General Zhang, do you know, this wharf that my lord wants to build is a little unusual, this is not for ordinary ships, but ...... It is used to dock a steel giant ship. ”

"The steel ship? What is this? ”

"I don't know what this thing looks like, but from the description of the lord, I can roughly know that this steel ship is a big ship made of steel."

"Steel ship? I don't read much, don't lie to me, can this iron ship float? ”

"To be honest, if you say it, I wouldn't believe it. But this is what my lord said, and he will do it if he says it will be done. A two-thousand-ton ship, you know what that means? ”

Looking at Zhang Nan's confused eyes, Li Yan shook his head and said, "I don't think you know, this 'ton' is the unit of weight of our Huaxia Villa, one ton is equivalent to one hundred and sixty stones, and two thousand tons is equivalent to the weight of three million stones of grain." ”

"A ship weighing three million stones?" Zhang Nan finally reacted, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Originally, I thought that the ship that my lord said weighed 2,000 tons, but after asking, I learned that these 2,000 tons are the weight of the grain that this huge ship can carry, which means that the weight of this big ship made of steel should be far more than three million stones."

Zhang Nan's gaze was already dull, three million stones, that's three million stones.

Although Shu is known as the country of abundance, the grain usually stored in the treasury is only a few hundred thousand stones, and the most stored is Jinqi colorful silk, because these things are more valuable than grain and are easier to keep.

Therefore, the amount of these three million stones has far subverted Zhang Nan's psychological bottom line, what kind of huge ship can hold so much food.

If what Li Yan said is true, the giant ship is indeed not an ordinary dock that can dock.

Zhang Nan gritted his teeth and said, "If that's the case, I'll go back and report to General Feng, and then draw another thousand from the men and horses guarding the city, do you think it's okay?" ”

Li Yan turned around and said, "You have to send at least 6,000 people, and we have to draw some people from the villa, otherwise we can't guarantee that the tasks arranged by the lord will be completed on time." ”

Zhang Nan said with a sad face: "Minister Li, it's not that we don't do our best, but Nazigui City and the naval army camp need to be guarded by men and horses, in case it is attacked by the troops of Nayiling County, it will be miserable, and we have no way to explain it to Your Majesty." ”

Li Yan said domineeringly: "Without the permission of our lord, near Zigui City, who would dare to use swordsmen without permission?" Do you think that the 3 million stone steel ship was only used to carry people and goods? ”

After a while, Zhang Nan came back to his senses: "How many men and horses can this huge steel ship weighing three million stones carry, and what weapons can't be loaded?" If the ship is equipped with heavy weapons to attack and defend the city, it is a mobile steel castle, which can be attacked and defended, and who can do anything about it? ”

Li Yan said: "No matter who the enemy is, as long as you can survive a meal, our lord will have the ability to wipe out the invading enemy, what else do you have to worry about?" ”

PS: I'm sorry, yesterday I was tossed for another day by the "regulations" formulated by some departments, and I was really too tired to update.
