For Gao Feng, Liu Sanniang is indeed a strange woman, but no matter how strange it is, he doesn't dare to provoke emotionally. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

What he wants most is that Liu Sanniang will give him a military advisor or staff officer, but Liu Sanniang doesn't have this idea for the time being, so the relationship between the two is just a business partner, of course, this partnership is trustworthy.

The reason why Liu Sanniang proposed to leave should be related to the arrival of Feng Xiaomo. The relationship between herself and Feng Xiaomo is in full view, as a smart woman, she naturally knows what to do in the face of this kind of thing, and avoiding it for the time being is the best choice.

Gao Feng was speechless for Liu Sanniang's complaints, and he didn't dare to do it, he could only let her go back silently.

Sending Liu Sanniang away early in the morning of the second day, Gao Feng arranged for the evacuation.

The people invited from the construction site have to settle the accounts, so that everyone can have money to go home for a good year.

Some arrangements were made for the left-behind personnel, Han Qiang and Ding Bao led the people of the original Yunlong Mountain to stay in the local area to take care of them, He and Fan helped the two owners, and Uncle Mo, Xiang Chong and the Wu brothers went to the county seat with them for the festival.

Ling Lei was homeless, Gao Feng asked him to go to the county seat with him, but he was politely refused, he is now focused on the research of gunpowder, and Gao Feng provided him with the principle and formula of fireworks, how could he still think about the New Year, so he decided to stay here.

The three iron-making masters didn't want to go back, Gao Feng had already sent someone to pick up their families, and they were reunited with their families, so they didn't have the heart to run around at all.

However, Gao Feng still gave them a task for a year later, that is, to find a way to burn coke.

The ancients used wood to burn charcoal, which was easy, but as the wood decreased, Gao Feng decided to use coal to burn, and the process was a bit complicated.

Fortunately, Gao Feng has this technology, he only needs to tell them the method and effect, as long as they continue to experiment, they will be able to fire successfully.

The reason why coke is burned is because it has a great effect, not only can it produce more heat to make steel, but more importantly, it does not contain sulfur, which is a huge improvement to the quality of steel.

Steelmaking can be said to be the most important piece of Gaofeng, and if he can make alloy steel, what he can do will be increased exponentially.

In addition to arranging the task of burning coke, Gao Feng also arranged a task for He Qing.

He Qing is a native of Hejiazhuang, and he performed well in that competition, so he was favored by Gao Feng.

The task assigned to him by Gao Feng is to take more than a dozen people to all parts of the country after the New Year.

What for? Go in search of ores.

The ancients did not mine much minerals, so many ores do not know the use, but these ores contain a variety of important minerals, which have a significant role in future development.

Gaofeng has to build a chemical laboratory and refine alloys, and the demand for ore can be said to be huge.

Of course, this quantity does not refer to the quantity, but to the variety, and the peak is to let them go to various places to find all kinds of ores, indicate the origin and location, and bring them back, and wait for him to free up his hands and then carry out chemical tests, so as to select useful things. For those that are useful, he will naturally send someone to procure.

Two days later, everything was arranged, and Gao Feng led a group of people on the road.

Let Lao Sun Tou and the others go first, but Gao Feng took Feng Xiaomo, Uncle Mo, Xiang Chong, and the Wu family brothers to turn around and go west.

Mangdang Mountain is in the northeast corner of Yongcheng, the county seat is located in the southwest, and the peak is running all the way to the west to an important canal.

That's right, it is the Tongji Canal, which is a grand canal built by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty after moving the capital to Luoyang, and it is also the most important section of the canal.

It starts from the mouth of the Yellow River in Xingyang in the north, along the Bianhe River to Bianliang in Kaifeng, and diverges with the Bianhe River here. The Bianhe River is in the north, from Kaifeng to Xuzhou to the east and then south into the Huai River. And the Tongji Canal passes through Yingtianfu, goes south through Yongcheng, Suzhou, Si County into Huai, the total length is more than 1,000 miles.

Tongji Canal can be said to be the most important river connecting the east and west, north and south in the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties. To the south, it is connected with Shanyang and Jiangnan Canal through the Huai River, and can go directly to Hangzhou. To the north, cross the Yellow River, connect the Yongji Canal, pass through the Daimyo's Mansion, and go directly to Zhuozhou. To the west, it can reach the western capital of Luoyang. To the east, it flows along the Yellow River into the sea.

Therefore, although the geographical location of Kaifeng Bianliang is not very good militarily, it is a large capital city that "gathers from all directions", mainly because of its important position in China and New Zealand, and the infamous Huashigang arrived in Tokyo through this waterway.

Tongji canal leads the water of Huang and Huai, these two rivers are muddy, so the river canal is often blocked, in the Song Dynasty Shenzong Yuanfeng period has carried out a large-scale dredging and dredging work, this is the latest large-scale dredging work, the distance is only more than 30 years.

Relatively speaking, from south to north, the entire canal is also the section of the Tongji Canal that is highly valued by the imperial court, which is the main artery connecting Tokyo and Jiangnan, and is also the main artery of the imperial court's transportation, so the imperial court has invested a lot of talent and financial resources in the maintenance of this canal.

The peak chooses Mangdang Mountain as the base, and it is also this canal that is fancy to it, with mountains and waters, which is not only easy to hide, but also easy to transport, that is, no matter how many commodities and goods can reach the north and south.

Of course, the southwest still struggled, which is why he decided to develop the caravan.

Tongji Canal is not far from Mangdang Mountain, it is more than ten miles away, and a few people can reach it in less than half an hour, so he decided to inspect this canal.

Near the canal, a long strip appears in the distance, and even if this place is not a wharf, the boat in the river is a busy scene.

Gradually, I saw that the boats one after another, endlessly, there were public transports, there were private business travel, coming and going, each going north and south, highlighting the important role of this river.

Standing on the riverbank, Gao Feng couldn't help but sigh, Li Guang built the Grand Canal, although mixed with some selfishness, but also for future generations to make great contributions, if there is no canal, the north-south traffic does not know how much effort it takes.

"Can you build a small dock here?" Gao Feng asked.

There is also a wharf in the county, but it is far away, relatively speaking, this is the closest location, and Gao Feng wants to build his own wharf.

Uncle Mo stepped forward and said: "It's a bit difficult, the entire canal is under the control of the government, and the construction of a wharf requires the approval of the government, and the government may not be allowed to build a wharf on this halfway, in fact, we don't need to build a wharf." ”

"Why?" Gao Feng asked.

"Up the river, two miles away there is the town of Shiqu, where there is a small wharf, from which our goods can enter and exit." Uncle Mo replied.

Walking two miles more is not a problem, but if it is feasible, it is a good option.

Gao Feng nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go over there and have a look." ”
