Mengqi and Menggong went to the trading house again, and asked Jiang Bo to arrange for people to load the existing spears, revolvers, ashes, bricks and tiles to the dock for loading. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Then, he confirmed with Jiang Bo the arrival time of Fengtian Yingkou, the fastest will be six or seven days after the arrival of Ji, and the dream said to Jiang Bo: then he will take the ship back tomorrow morning with the goods, if everything goes well, he will send a small steamer back and continue to pull bricks and tiles, and then ask Jiang Bo to take care of it and arrange the shipment, he will also come back in six days, Jiang Bo asked him to be careful all the way.

Dream back to the shop and Uncle Tou said that they would go back to explore the waterway, and at the same time transport back some goods, and again entrusted Uncle Tou to help him buy more grain, this time the purchase has been shipped back, and when the little steamer comes back, please take care of him more, Dream Qi and Uncle Tou finished talking, and went to the dock to be busy for half an hour after the guns and bullets came, he let it be loaded on Lin Xun's small steamer, and he and Menggong's guards also got on the ship.

After Mengqi got on the ship, he first equipped the two captains and second mates with revolver bullets, and then replaced Menggong with a new revolver, and replaced his guards with two new guns, one long and one short, and issued the six 1871 types of guards to the boatmen to use, and let Menggong go to another small steamer to guard and coordinate the loading.

The boat went to the foot of the mountain to no one's place, and the dream made Lin Xun repeatedly adjust the distance and distance many times, he taught everyone to carry out many long and close familiar shooting, the target was all the big trees under the mountain, and for a time a gunfire rang out from time to time under the mountain, the bark and trees at the foot of the mountain flew wildly, and the birds on the top of the mountain took off.

After getting familiar with the firearms, it was noon when I came back, Mengqi let everyone rest at the dock, Menggong went back to the shop to arrange for hot water to be delivered, and the Lin brothers took the crew to take over the ship, and after the meal, they were responsible for the loading coordination on the dock.

After returning to the shop for dinner and taking a nap, I dreamed that so many people can't just have food, there are too few dishes in these years, and there are even fewer dishes in the early spring season in the Northeast, so I have to prepare some. If these people don't have vegetables to eat in Weishahe, then they won't be able to work, so he went out to find the young man and asked him to take him to the place where the meat and vegetables are sold the most, leaving Meng Gong and three guards to manage the casual workers who transported goods to the shop, and cooperated with the Lin brothers to load the ship, and handed over the silver ticket money bag to Meng Ke, and Meng Qi took Xiao Yahuan and three guards to follow the young man into the carriage and left.

The young man led people to drive three big carriages, led them to the cattle and horse shop, both sides of the street are full of vegetables, meat, poultry and livestock and other small stalls, dreaming of watching and sweeping, the little girl followed to pay silver and silver tickets, cellaring cabbage, potatoes, radishes, green onions, mushrooms, sauerkraut, pickles, salt, ginger, garlic, chili, pepper, star anise, soy sauce, dry sauce, vinegar, wine, tea, large oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, piles of bags, jars, crazy purchases.

The carriage is loaded and transported to the dock to load the ship, and then come back and pull and transport again, chickens, ducks and geese sold a few large cages, the meat is afraid of bad and did not dare to buy, the livestock is too big and unlucky, only buy a few small pigs and pigs, should buy all the bought, more than two hours have passed, to go back to the house but saw the glass painting, dream up to go to the shop to look carefully, the glass reverse color painting pattern, the picture content is brightly colored, mostly the scenery characters and ladies, with a wooden frame inlay decoration, at this time there is glass here? Looking into the shop, an old painter was painting on a small piece of glass.

At this time, a man who looked like a shopkeeper asked Mengqi: "Young master, do you want to buy a mirror or a glass painting; This mirror and glass painting are not big, only twenty or thirty centimeters rectangular, glass painting? Isn't this a glass painting, how did it become a glass painting again, and after thinking about it, I said: How much silver do I want for 10 mirrors, and the glass of glass paintings is sold?

The shopkeeper replied: 10 mirrors are at least 11 taels, and glass is also sold, but I don't have a big one here, only an eight-foot piece of Boshan glass, 3 pieces of 1 tael of silver, and more than 60 pieces; Dream took a glass painting and looked at it in detail, it is estimated that the glass is only 3 mm thick, 25 centimeters × 33 centimeters more, that is, eight inches, 1 tael of silver and 3 small pieces, this small glass piece is really expensive enough, but this year and months are rare and expensive, the dream said after thinking about it: I want 60 pieces, help me separate them all from the middle; After the shopkeeper agreed, he asked the old painter to help cut the glass in half.

After dreaming of buying and walking back, the young man must carefully put away the glass wrapped in coarse cloth, and then told him to go straight to the second pier to see how the ship was loaded, and the young man led the way from the cattle and horses to the opposite straight road, and rushed to the second dock.

Walking out of Liyu, Mengqi suddenly asked the young man to stop, he saw a lot of shops on the side of the road, one of which had a plaque on it: Fachang Machinery Shop, Mengqi asked the young man and the guard to wait for him in front of the door, and he walked in with Mengke. A middle-aged man in his thirties who looked a bit like a shopkeeper greeted him and said, "Young master, please inside, what do you want to buy?" After speaking, he handed Meng Qi a small piece of rough-edged paper.

Dream up and glance, there are no goods in the store, just two simple machines under the opposite wall, he took the piece of paper and looked down, it was a one-sided small print simple description page, the words on it were: Tianjin Fachang Machinery Manufacturing Factory, the main business is ship repair, the production of ginning cars, silk reeling cars, lathes, etc. After reading the dream, I thought: It is a shipbuilding and ship repair, and the two machines under the opposite wall should be ginning machines and silk reeling machines, by the way, I remember hearing Uncle Tou say that the two small steamers I buy now seem to be built by Tianjin Fachang Machinery Factory.

At this time, the shopkeeper asked Mengqi Mengke to sit down, and after pouring tea for them, he asked: This young master, do you want to buy a machine?

There is no one else in the store, this shopkeeper should be the shopkeeper and man, and he sat down and asked after analysis: You are shipbuilders? Can you send it here from Tianjin Shipbuilding? The shopkeeper shook his head and said: No, I can only send someone from the factory to guide shipbuilding at the Jilin Shipyard, but now it can't be done, the Jilin Shipyard over there in Nanshan has been occupied by the Han family, and now it can't build ships, alas.

I think too, Tianjin is so far away, and there may be no waterway, even if the ship is built, it can't be shipped, Jilin Shipyard can build ships, but now it is occupied by the Tyrants, and it can no longer be built, this Tyrants are too hateful, and when there is a chance, I must rob it, and then I can build the ship myself, and I can also ask them to send someone to guide me to build a ship; Besides, I can't use the machine lathe now, and it's useless to buy it back, but even if they can build the machine lathe, they should be able to process all kinds of parts, so what should I process first......
