Yuan Yun was very happy to look at the carloads of new goods, which were constantly transported out of the workshop, and the guards outside the gate of the workshop were also smiling like Yuan Yun, this is already the last batch of farm tools this year, and when it passes today, it will be closed here, and then the workers in the workshop will have a seven-day holiday, called the Spring Festival.

"Lord, as soon as this batch of farm tools is completed, the ration of Wancheng will be completed, and General Cao Hong will also transport the grain for the final payment first, and I hope to increase the order of some cement next year." After Su Jie finished speaking, he bowed down and walked to the side, and opened the door of the frame.

At this moment, the weather is still cold, Yuan Yun has been walking in the snow for a long time, and now everyone is worried that Yuan Yun will be frozen, so Su Jie's actions are carefully reminding Yuan Yun that it is time to go to the car to warm up.

Yuan Yun felt that Su Jie was indeed a good shopkeeper, cautious, and would not let go of any details, these small details in action were easy to bring good impression to the other party, and when he was promoted, he really had a unique vision.

With a smile, Yuan Yun complied with Su Jie's meaning, stepped into the carriage in one step, and then smiled at Xiao Liu: "Don't be busy going back first, anyway, Yan Xing's banquet in the evening is still early, let's go to the steelmaking workshop for a walk, I heard that Pu Yuan's guy doesn't plan to give his subordinates a holiday for the New Year, which is a violation of labor law." ”

Xiao Liu frowned, he had no impression of what labor law was, but since the lord was going to the steelmaking workshop, he was naturally familiar with the road, so he shouted and began to drive forward.

Seeing that Yuan Yun's frame began to move, Su Jie and Shi Shen also stepped onto the war horse, and the guards around him immediately began to follow him.

Now the workshops in Luoyang City have been densely gathered together, countless chimneys rise to the sky, and the falling snow squeezed everywhere is almost invisible here, even if there are some eaves, they are also gray and dirty.

The workshop was full of workers who were in a hurry to go home to buy New Year's goods, and everyone had a look of joy on their faces, because they were not like the farmers in the fields, who needed to start turning the soil or repairing the water conservancy for the next year's land, nor like the owners of those shops, who had to be busy for the end of the year.

Once the workers have a holiday, they will really be idle, this time is also the best time for them to hide at home, enjoy the joy of family, the double salary at the end of the year allows them to have a surplus of money, they can add a new dress to their children, they can also go to the market to buy some meat, so that the Spring Festival table is more sumptuous, and even buy some Yuan family spirits, so as to get drunk with the workers who come to the door.

When passing by the palace hall, Yuan Yun was suddenly stunned, and then pointed to the huge palace gate and said to Shi Shen: "Go and find that supervisor, I have something to ask him." ”

Shi Shen promised, patted the horse and galloped over, and in a moment, several governors who were doing the aftermath of the holiday trotted to the frame.

One of them immediately saluted: "I don't know why Yuan Hou summoned the little ones to come?" ”

Yuan Yun pointed to the location of the palace gate, and then asked, "Isn't Benhou's design drawing only three gates?" How did you get five? ”

Na Du Zao smiled and said: "This is a modification of the common decision of Mr. Cheng Yu and Mr. Jia Xu, they said that since it is a palace, then it needs to have the momentum of the royal family, and the three doors are too small." ”

Yuan Yun was stunned, and suddenly couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, daring to love the two old guys who are the most picky in Luoyang, and they have also begun to be extravagant, when drawing the design drawings, Cheng Yu also suggested that in order to save materials, only one door hole should be built, and now it is good, and it is generous to build five, so that the whole city tower is immediately much taller and more majestic.

"It's okay, Ben Hou just asked, you guys do the finishing work, and then go home for a good year."

When the governor heard this, he immediately bowed down with the others, and then slowly retreated.

Yuan Yun touched his chin, suddenly smiled, and then shook his head and said to himself: "It seems that everyone's expectations for Cao Ang are very high." ”

Shi Shen by the car window was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "What does the lord say is very high?" ”

Yuan Yun pointed to a row of houses on both sides of the palace gate again, and then said with a smile: "These houses are the mansions of the court officials, you look at the one that was built, heating, water supply, and even the latrines have been repaired, isn't this what Cheng Yu and Jia Xu prepared for themselves, none of these old guys will suffer." ”

Shi Shen still looked confused, looked at the mansion in the distance, and then looked at the huge palace tower, and felt very inexplicable, the Son of Heaven is still in Xudu, and the mansion of the officials built here does not know what it is used for.

Rumble!

Before he arrived at Pu Yuan's steelmaking workshop, Yuan Yun heard a muffled sound, but none of them showed a panicked expression, this kind of sound has long been used to it, every day in the testing ground between the steelmaking workshop and the blacksmith workshop, there will always be all kinds of loud noises, naturally it is not strange.

When Yuan Yun's frame bypassed the layers of defense and finally arrived at the entrance of the test site, he saw Pu Yuan and Ma Jun walking out of it with a disgraced face, and the two scolded each other as they walked.

When the two of them saw Yuan Yun's frame, they were a little surprised, and quickly tidied up their dusty robes, then walked quickly to the frame, and saluted respectfully.

Yuan Yun leaned on the car window, then pointed to the black smoke that was still wafting in the test site and asked, "Exploded again?" ”

Pu Yuan immediately pointed at Ma Jun's nose and replied: "Lord Qiqi, it's all to blame for Ma Jun, this idiot, in order to load the cannon on his broken car, he had to reduce the weight of the artillery, and the result was not blown up." ”

Ma Jun frowned and retorted, "I...... I, I'm a gas locomotive, no...... It's not a broken car, it's still the master's name, and it's ...... Now the gas engine can't send out too much strength, only ...... You can only reduce the weight, and you have to ...... Otherwise, it's hard to move, and you're going to make thousands of pounds per cannon, and you're ...... How do you let me fit in the car? ”

Pu Yuan continued to spit angrily, and then continued to point at Ma Jun's nose and scolded: "You can't use your brain, one gas engine is not enough, you can't install a few more?" ”

Ma Jun couldn't speak smoothly like Pu Yuan because of his stuttering, and immediately suffocated his whole face, I, I, I have been talking for a long time, but I still haven't answered.

Just when Yuan Yun was worried that Ma Jun would turn his back on him, Ma Jun's face suddenly changed, and he instantly hugged Pu Yuan with great joy, and then laughed: "Okay...... Good way, Pu Yuan, you ...... You said a good idea, I'll go back and think about it, what the hell is ...... How the hell are you going to get it. ”

After saying this, Ma Jun actually forgot to say goodbye to Yuan Yun, laughed and ran out, and went straight to his laboratory.

Yuan Yun looked at Ma Jun's excited appearance, knowing that this guy probably had an inspiration, and it seemed that the tank in his mind was about to succeed.

"Lord, don't blame Brother Ma Jun, he is just a tendon, as long as he thinks of a good idea, even ten cows can't pull it." Seeing that Ma Jun was so rude, Pu Yuan hurriedly said good things in front of Yuan Yun.

Yuan Yun laughed and said, "You two, you quarrel endlessly together, but the other party makes a mistake and covers each other up, this is called love and killing, right?" ”

Pu Yuan laughed dryly, then shook his head and said: "The lord misunderstood, I am not a good man, and the Ma Jun brothers probably don't like this, I heard that his newly married concubine has given birth to a son, which can make the eldest lady in charge angry, his back house is quite chaotic, and he is often driven out by the eldest woman, so he can only stay here for the night, poor." ”

Yuan Yun frowned, then pointed to Pu Yuan's nose and said: "Don't talk about others, the matter of Ma Jun marrying a concubine was not instigated by you, I really don't know what you all think, you have a little spare money, so you have no life to bring women home." ”

When Shi Shen and Xiao Liu heard this, their faces immediately showed a sense of disdain, because Yuan Yun's back house was basically a woman's world now, and this lord was embarrassed to talk about others.

"There are two days before the Spring Festival, the management gathering before this, Pu Yuan, don't forget, when the time comes, the prince of Cao Ang will also attend, you can give people to Zhang Luo carefully."

After Yuan Yun finished speaking, his face immediately became a little proud, the dinner party at the end of the year was the system he brought from modern society, although he was strongly opposed by Cheng Yu at the beginning, thinking that this was fundamentally inferior, but when he saw the supervisors in the workshop, in order to have the opportunity to participate in the party at the end of the year, and worked hard, the old man immediately became quiet, and even went to the drunken gold building in the city to set up a seat, showing that he was simply a snob.

After explaining the matter of the year-end dinner, Yuan Yun asked again: "The production of muskets, how has the output changed now?" ”

Pu Yuan frowned, and then replied: "The little incompetence, I have experimented with many methods, but it still can't reduce the loss of the mold, so it can only produce thirty or forty sticks per month." ”

Yuan Yun nodded, although the number of musket teams that have been armed at present has reached two thousand, there are only about a hundred muskets that can be used, and the training can only be carried out in turns, and each person is equipped with an iron shell of the same weight at other times.

"Next year, let's build a workshop dedicated to the production of muskets, add eight, and increase the monthly production to at least 100." Yuan Yun sighed after speaking, this is also a helpless way, in this way, the production cost of muskets will rise very exaggeratedly, with the current funds in Luoyang, it can barely be supported.

Pu Yuan sighed, and then he was about to say goodbye and return to his laboratory, he decided to continue to wait ^_^ inside, and he didn't plan to come out until the matter of mold loss was solved.

"Pu Yuan, some inspiration is imminent, not hard thinking, you should let your people go back for a good year, you should also go home to accompany your wife and children, maybe you can come up with any good ideas during the holidays." Seeing Pu Yuan's discouragement, Yuan Yun could only encourage him in disguise.

Pu Yuan snorted again, then turned and walked away from the frame.

"Go to the palace of the prince of Cao Ang." Yuan Yun gave another command and closed the window.

At this time, Qing'er in the carriage dared to make a sound, covered a thick piece of sheepskin on Yuan Yun's legs, and then squeezed out two sweet dimples and said with a smile: "Young master, the output of soap is very stable now, so Qing'er wants to find something else to do, and the perfume that the young master made before is the same as soap, it is something that big families like, can you ......?"

"Yes, why not, Qing'er can do whatever she wants." Yuan Yun didn't wait for Qing'er to finish speaking, she immediately agreed, Qing'er is not like Liu Yiyi, she rarely asks for anything from herself, since she has proposed it, she must quickly agree.

Qing'er saw that Yuan Yun agreed so happily, but her face felt a little sorry, and finally bit her lip and said, "Young master, in fact, Sister Zhen wants to operate these things with Qing'er, she said that if these are promoted well, it will be more profitable than Sister Yiyi's hotel." ”

When Yuan Yun heard this, he immediately began to have a headache again, Zhen Mi and Liu Yiyi had to fight back and forth every day, and now it's okay, I finally found something for Zhen Mi that can be stronger than Liu Yiyi.

But in this way, Zhen Mi will not be so boring, since marrying into the Yuan Mansion, the eldest sister Feng Xuan has classified this outstanding little girl as Cai Wenji, so no matter what happens in the family, Zhen Mi will not be involved, I just hope that she will continue to be a comfortable lady at home, but what kind of person is Zhen Mi, how can she be satisfied just like Cai Wenji if she has books to read?

"Your sister Zhen helps you, that's great, so that Qing'er can also be more leisurely, there was Su Mei to help you before, so the soap business is going well, now that your sister Zhen has joined, I'm afraid this will immediately become a big industry, Qing'er is ready?" After Yuan Yun asked, he smiled and hugged Qing'er in his arms, this soft body is much more comfortable than any sheepskin.

Qing'er tilted her head and thought for a while, and replied in an instant: "If it will delay taking care of the young master, then Qing'er will simply leave everything to Sister Zhen." ”

Little Nizi who has no scheming.

Yuan Yun sighed, and found that he loved this little concubine even more, so he hugged her tighter, and then began to tell some ghost stories, which scared Qing'er into her arms desperately, and she felt extremely comfortable.

After a short time, Cao Ang's mansion finally arrived.
