Chapter 181: Roy Goes Out of the Mountain
Luo Yi and several of her retinue galloped on horseback and arrived at the western Sichuan Plain in less than ten days.
"Is this the place of the Han people? Are they cooking? At noon that day, sitting in the tea shop by the roadside, looking at the tall pillars of smoke in the distance, a guard sighed.
All the barbarians were learning Chinese, so the group had been conversing in Chinese all the time.
"Hehe, look at how many of you are from the south, tell you, that's not some cooking smoke, that's a factory!"
"Factory? Is it smoke coming out of the factory? How can it be so high? Several young men could not sit still, so they got up one after another, and put their hands on the pergola to see what was going on.
Unfortunately, it was too far away, and all they could see was the smoke.
Luo Yi looked at the tea shop and could see that the two-story house with a blue-gray exterior was newly repaired, and the interior walls were painted snow-white, which was very good-looking.
"Boss, your house is newly renovated, your family is really good...... Is this tea shop business okay? Luo Yi's voice was as crisp as a yellow bird out of the forest, and with her bright smiling face, no one could refuse her kindness.
The owner of the tea shop is around forty years old, which is the age when he likes to chat. Seeing this beautiful girl talking, she naturally opened the conversation.
The boss raised his hand and made his new silk shirt shake twice.
"Hehe, this young lady, you don't know anything, I was still a poor person who lived in a grass hut last year and couldn't even eat enough."
As soon as the boss said this, the attention of several guards was also attracted and they sat around the table. Waiting for the boss to tell him the story of his fortune.
The boss first arched his hand to the north: "I can live today's life thanks to Commander-in-Chief Xie and the revolutionary army." ”
From Xichang to Ya'an, then to Shuangyang and Hualiu. The name that Luo Yi and his party heard the most was Commander-in-Chief Xie, and several people are now public officials, and when they heard the praise of the tea boss, they naturally straightened their chests and praised the commander-in-chief, which was also praising them.
"I have three sons and a daughter, and the mother of the children died young. Over the years, I have relied on working long hours for the owner, barely pulling the children to grow up. It's a hard time. ”
"Boss, you said you have so many family businesses in more than a year...... How is this possible...... It can't be by stealing or robbing, right? One of the guards interjected.
"Young man, you can't talk nonsense, I'll sue you...... Last year. Our county has carried out land reform. I have a family of five, and the government gave me ten acres of land, and I saw that there were few people doing business around here, so I was bold enough to sell the ten acres of land directly to the government, took the money, repaired these houses, and opened this tea garden. Now I have hired a few people to help, and the business is still gone. It's like a dream. ”
"Boss, how old are your children, why didn't you see them?"
"Hehe, they all went to school, sue you, we in Sichuan, we don't need money to go to school now, and the school still takes care of meals and clothes. My children have very good grades, and they came back to me and told me that they will all enter the factory as workers in the future and make a lot of money. ”
"I know this, we are also building a school over there now, and we don't pay for the dolls to go to school."
"Oh? Didn't you come from Yunnan? ”
"No, we are also from Sichuan, but we are all from the iceberg, and this is the first time we have come to Pingba in western Sichuan."
……
Listening to the conversation between the boss and several guards, Roy had a smile on his face.
For a girl in a state of lovesickness, praising her lover is far happier than praising herself.
After lunch, the horses continued to whip up.
Soon a large expanse of tall houses appeared in the eyes of everyone, and in the middle of these houses stood several chimneys, which were snorting and panting.
"This is the factory, isn't it?"
Several people rode slowly to the gate of the factory.
"Stop, who's who?"
At the entrance of the factory there are doormen dressed in dark blue.
Luo Yi is wearing the uniforms of the Xichang police, and there are still some subtle differences between the uniforms of the police in Xichang and the uniforms in Chengdu, but this difference cannot be hidden from the eyes of the guards.
Several people got off their horses, and one of the guards said: "We are policemen from Xichang, passing by here, and we haven't seen the factory, so we want to go in and have a look, can we?" ”
The doorman shook his head: "I'm sorry, officer, but you can't let people in the factory casually. ”
A few people were slightly disappointed when they heard this, so they had to look inside through the barbed wire gate, trying to see what was inside.
When the doorman saw their appearance, he couldn't bear it, and took the initiative to introduce it to them: "Don't look at it, you can't understand it when you look there, let me tell you, this large area is Hualiu Industrial Park, and there are more than a dozen factories in it...... There are power plants, textile factories, flour mills, fertilizer factories, chemical factories, machinery factories, and so much more. ”
"And what are these chimneys for?"
"Hehe, these are all connected to the steam engine, and they all rely on them to exhaust the exhaust gas...... Did you know? The steam engine is advanced, throw some coal into it, and the machine will rumble, and then you can build things, but it's fast......"
While listening to the doorman's introduction, Luo Yi listened and watched at the same time, all of them were amazed.
After seeing the industrial park, several people continued to move forward, and the more shocked they were as they went.
There are new houses everywhere and things everywhere that they have never seen before.
"Wow, there are poles standing everywhere, and there are wires attached to the poles, so they must be poles and wires!"
"It should be, I heard that we are going to build a power plant in Xichang City this year."
"What Xichang City, I heard that in the future, every town and every village will have electricity and electric lights!"
After walking for a while, a horn hanging high in a high place attracted everyone's attention.
"Hey, why are you hanging a horn here?"
It was also a coincidence that the sound of this horn suddenly came out, startling a few people.
"Now broadcast the news, now broadcast the news, the Sichuan Provincial Government of the Chinese Federation issued a telegram to support the decision of the Federal Central Government on the Second Northern Expedition......"
The two young men looked around the loudspeaker curiously for a long time, but still didn't figure out what it was.
Luo Yi smiled: "This must be broadcasting, now there are more and more new things in Sichuan." ”
As we get closer to Chengdu, there are more cars and pedestrians on the road.
"Wow, that's a lot of cars!"
Although it is not the first time that several people have seen a car, the frequency of one car in the past few minutes is somewhat beyond their imagination.
Sichuan's industrialization process is very smooth, although Sichuan does not produce oil at all, but there will never be a shortage of people with brains, and now there are several oil companies in Sichuan, some of which are run by Chinese and some by Americans. With sufficient fuel and a well-connected road transportation network, there are naturally more people buying cars.
Entering Chengdu City, the eyes of several guards were straight.
Chengdu is full of flowers in spring, and the girls on the street are dazzling to a few young people from the iceberg. Compared with the blue-black homespun clothes of the women on the other side of the iceberg, the girls here simply cut off the clouds in the sky and draped them on their bodies.
Roy's mood became more and more nervous.
The guy who hasn't seen him for almost half a year, is he okay now? Does he remember Ayi of the iceberg?
Luo Yi thought wildly, and the group came to the hotel where the Sichuan Provincial Government was responsible for receiving public officials from all over the country. After registering, Luo Yi took a shower, changed his clothes, and decided to go to Xie Niancheng.
She's a girl who can do whatever she wants, and it's not her style.
She asked a few lads to arrange their own time and went out into the street on their own.
Luo Yi is bold, it doesn't mean that she is a careless girl, she specially changed into the clothes she wore when she first met Xie Niancheng...... With the blue cloth as the base, some barbarian gold and silver ornaments were put on.
This dress is rare on the streets of Chengdu.
The beautiful Roy soon gained the hot eyes of many passers-by, Roy was not the slightest uncomfortable, she was a lark of the big iceberg, and she grew up in the eyes of everyone since she was a child. She smiled back with a friendly smile as she briskly walked in the direction of the provincial government.
When I arrived at the provincial government, there were many people coming in and out, but Roy couldn't get in, and she was stopped by the doorman.
"This young lady, please stay, do you have a letter of introduction? If not, ask the person you are looking for to come out and pick you up...... There is a telephone in the guard's room, which department you are looking for, you can call here. ”
Luo Yi smiled: "I'm looking for Xie Niancheng Xie Commander-in-Chief, can you help me get through the phone?" ”
The doorman was startled, looked for Commander-in-Chief Xie, and called Commander-in-Chief Xie's name! Who is this? The doorman looked Luo Yi up and down, and still replied honestly: "I'm sorry, Commander-in-Chief Xie doesn't work here." ”
"yes, do you know where he is?"
The doorman shook his head.
Xie Niancheng's whereabouts, how could he, a little doorman, know?
"You're looking for Commander-in-Chief Xie?"
A nice female voice came from behind Roy.
Roy turned around and saw two beautiful girls.
Luo Yi was very generous, "Well, I want to find Commander-in-Chief Xie, do you know where he is?" ”
"We're going to look for him now, but do you know Commander-in-Chief Xie?"
Luo Yi's face turned a little red, "Know!" Of course I know! My name is Luo Yi, and I came to Chengdu from Xichang this time to find him...... You are so beautiful, can you tell you who you are? ”
Luo Yi's dress clearly told the two girls opposite her where she came from.
The girl who didn't talk to Luo Yi smiled: "My name is Zhao Ke." ”
The other girl was very friendly: "My name is Yang Yuwei, come with us, the meeting is about to start." ”
Luo Yi's familiar personality quickly made her familiar with Yang Yuwei and Zhao Ke, and when the car drove to the headquarters of the revolutionary army in the city, she had already held hands and asked Zhao Ke how to dress up. (To be continued......)
