Yan Chen's funeral was extremely simple.

Yan Ming refused all kinds of ceremonial ceremonies, and just built a good coffin, which was packed with a stone coffin on the outside. As for the funeral goods that Yan Shan wanted to put in, Yan Ming refused all.

Simple funeral, clean come, clean go. It seems to foreshadow some kind of reincarnation.

Because of Yan Chen's departure, Yan Ming's heart was disturbed.

He had no intention of working, so he took leave with Liu Che, and went north at the beginning of spring.

In the northeast in early spring, there is still a slight chill in the air. But the feeling of warm spring made Yan Ming feel a hint of stretching.

In the northern land, the new city built by the river is now called New Taipei City.

Because of the need to resist the cold wind in the north, the architecture of New Taipei City is completely different from the buildings in the Central Plains. The whole tone is tall and thick.

I haven't been back for five or six years, and when I see it again, it's like it's changed.

I have to say that Mo Zheng is indeed a strange person.

Not only did he know mechanics, but he even knew architecture.

Yan Ming decided that when he came this time, he would have a good talk with Mo Zheng.

He believes that after so many years, Mo Zheng's mentality must have changed dramatically.

The gates of the New Taipei City are tall and strong.

Outside the city, a large group of men and horses were already standing there.

Led by Liu Ling.

Liu Ling's dress is a typical northern nobleman's dress.

On the body is a delicate leather robe. A smiling face was flushed, and he was even happier after seeing that Yan Ming had just brought a few entourages such as Nameless.

Han Yan was slightly behind Liu Ling by half a horse's head, and waved at Yan Ming from afar.

Dou Xingtuo is also among them, as well as Sima Xiu.

When they went back together, Sima Xiu left alone when he arrived in the Central Plains.

Now he has returned to the New Taipei City in the north.

Elder Chen and Mo Zheng are also there.

This northern city is more recognized by Yan Ming, not the Great Han.

"Mr. Yan is back, I want to have a good drink tonight." Mo Zheng said with a smile.

Han Yan glanced at Liu Ling and said, "The matter of drinking will be decided tomorrow." No one is allowed to disturb Mr. Yan today. ”

After he said this, everyone burst into laughter, but Liu Ling laughed embarrassedly, and threw it towards Han Yan with a wave of the horsewhip.

Han Yan is agile and wears leather armor outside.

He just moved his body slightly, letting Liu Ling's whip whit on his hardest leather armor.

This long-lost joy made Yan Ming's heart, which was a little sad because of Yan Chen's departure, suddenly feel much better.

Yan Ming's residence has already been renovated.

Nowadays, the residents of New Taipei City do not live in upstairs like the Central Plains, but have their own families and their own courtyards. But it's a set of ** heat.

The solution to this problem is naturally Mo Zheng.

I have to say that Mo Zheng is simply too talented.

He is so smart that he understands everything, and he has replaced Yan Ming to teach and educate people in the north all these years, and he has learned Yan Ming's knowledge from later generations thoroughly.

Now that Yan Ming is back, he wants to talk to him, and he also has a belly, and he wants to talk to Yan Ming.

That night, Yan Ming still drank and chatted with everyone.

Life in the north is rough and bold.

A fire and a roast of a sheep. Everyone was around, dipped in salt, drinking wine, you and I said a word, and I told you all about the past few years.

As for Yan Ming's pacification of the southwest, it has long been spread throughout New Taipei City.

made his prestige in New Taipei City grow.

At the end of the drink, everyone retired. There are only two left, Liu Ling and Yan Ming.

Those guards and entourages were also quietly taken away by Han Yan.

Liu Ling's face became more and more beautiful.

Women in their twenties were married long ago in ancient times. But in modern times, it is only officially blooming flowers.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Liu Ling lowered his head, but Yan Ming took Liu Ling's hand.

"Master Hou, this New Taipei City, do I still like it?" Liu Ling asked in a low voice.

Yan Ming nodded and said, "It's much better than me taking care of it myself." You, hard work. ”

"I'm just tired." Liu Ling sighed.

Yan Ming keenly captured the changes in Liu Ling's mood.

A woman, nameless and profitless behind your back, what is the picture?

"After a year of filial piety, I will marry you." Yan Ming said.

"Shouxiao?" Liu Ling's eyes widened, and the next moment she understood, and said softly: "Old grandmother, the immortal has gone?" ”

"Hmm!"

The two men were silent in the night, snuggling up to each other.

After a while, Liu Lingcai said: "However, I want to be willful, not equal." Keeping filial piety is just a formal matter, and the heart is stronger than anything else. How many people are unfilial when they are alive, but they do a full sense of ritual when they die, what is the point? ”

Yan Ming was stunned for a moment, feeling that Liu Ling's words made sense.

"Let's choose a day and get married." Yan Ming said.

Liu Ling nodded and said, "Chang'an, I'm not going to go back." I don't want to step on my feet in the Central Plains. This New Taipei City is your home to me. I'll be here, leaving a big rear for my husband. ”

Yan Ming held Liu Ling's hand tightly, but his mouth blocked her warm lips.

The hairy Yan Ming wanted to cross the bottom line, but Liu Ling stopped him.

"For many years, I have been making chess pieces for my father, maneuvering among everyone, and I have relied on this concentration to maintain a complete body. Master Hou, allow Liu Ling, can I serve you on the wedding day? Liu Ling gasped and said. She is actually a little emotional.

Liu Ling was not easy, and Yan Ming was moved by these words.

The two looked at each other for a while, and finally hugged each other and fell asleep. But he didn't take half a step beyond the thunder pool.

The next day, Yan Ming got up early.

He had already agreed with Mo Zheng and Da Lao Chen to visit their processing factory.

Iron smelting is no longer a difficult task. But machining iron parts is a new problem.

"Sir, the parts you have delivered are very precise. We can't do that precision yet. But the parts that are processed with the machine I designed are not ordinary. Mo Zheng said proudly.

The two men walked as they talked, and they arrived at the factory.

A factory building designed by Hu Deyong. Tall and wide.

The first thing Yan Ming saw when he came in was something similar to a machine tool in later generations. It's just that this thing has a big roulette wheel, which is obviously operated by human power.

Seeing Yan Ming come in, as soon as Elder Chen waved his hand, he saw a strong man shaking the roulette. Elder Chen personally operated it, and the machine made a squeaky sound of metal rubbing.

In just a few moments, an iron pipe was cared out.

"Master Hou, if you have this thing for a long time, it will be much easier to build a flintlock barrel." Da Lao Chen said.

Yan Ming looked at this tube, it was indeed processed. It's just that the speed of manpower is too slow, there are too many burrs in it, and it needs to be carefully polished.

But that's it, and it's already a lot better.

"Master Hou, I still have an idea, I want to study it with Master Hou." Mo Zheng said with some excitement.

Yan Ming looked at Mo Zheng and said with a smile: "That's right, I also have something to say to you, let's put it together." ”

(Unconsciously, it's five hundred chapters, thank you for being with me all the way!) ）
