After settling the second brother's side, Yang Meng was about to go to the old man to drink tea and talk about the second brother, but Pan Gui, a scholar, came over in a hurry.

"The third child, a great joy! The West Mountain Iron Works is out of the iron! ”

"Good! Brother Gui, you go and prepare some silver dollars and gold bars, let's go over and have a look later, and I'll go to the old man first. ”

Xishan Iron Works, the industry that he has planned for two years, finally has a harvest, after hearing the news, Yang Meng was first happy, and then his face sank.

An iron plant, from the beginning of planning to production, a full two years, although there is a period of slack, but no matter how you calculate, more than a year, there are also some.

An iron factory is so difficult, and the road in Yunnan will not be easy to walk in the future! Steel is the basic thing, steam engines, trains, rails, guns, bullets, these are all needed steel, but the news from Pan Gui is only out of iron, not steel, which makes Yang Meng's mood a little low.

But no matter how you say it, it has finally been done a practical thing, the army and Yunyan are not the driving force to support Yunnan to move forward, only these real, indispensable things on weekdays are, pointing to the army and Yunyan, Yunnan can also go on for a while, but the stamina is insufficient.

Slowly arrived at the old man, this old man is reading! It's rare.

"Hohoo! It's not easy for you to be so old and still start learning! Lao Ji is determined to be thousands of miles away! ”

"It's not presentable! You are also the third master of the Yang family who controls 10,000 people, how can you do it without a righteous line? Isn't this looking at the Western knowledge you give to private schools?

These things are not simple! In simple terms, there were many things before. I only know it, but I don't know why. Looked at these things. My brain feels clear.

And the things of our ancestors have never been missing, you see the multiplication table in this number, how easy it is to learn, write this down, it's no problem to be a guy.

You have made this booklet well, but you are like Lin Zexu's disciple, this is what you have learned and put it into practice. The second child read the book wrongly. ”

Yang Shiqin said that he wanted to be the shopkeeper, but a pair of eyes, he had never left his third child, and such a thing as running a private school looked inconspicuous, and it was related to a generation! How dare Yang Shiqin not ask?

"Don't worry, I have a score of work, I didn't get it, but Mr. Wei's hand, he is a scholar. Don't you worry about me, don't you worry about Mr. Wei? ”

Old man, don't worry about doing things by yourself! Yang Meng also got a reassuring pill for him. It's not a problem to worry about it all the time.

"Hmmm! That's it! Although Wei Wu is cunning, he is still usable, don't throw him away.

You're here this time to talk about your second brother! Don't talk about your bullshit methods, there is only one here, and you are not allowed to harm your second brother!

You look at those foxes, walking step by step, and their demeanor is not a little gentle, the second child follows Lin Laohu, and he is used to living a hard life, you are messing with his state of mind like this! If these foxes hollow out the second child, I can't spare you! ”

The wine color and wealth damage the spirit and hurt the body, although the third child's method is mild, but I am afraid that the second child is really fascinated, and it is not a good thing at all.

"The second brother has a number there, he has followed Lin Zexu for seven years, if he can't even carry this little thing, it can be regarded as Lin Zexu's incompetence."

"Humph! I hope so! You and Lian'er have no heirs so far, is it that you kid doesn't play serious? Your father-in-law is too, how can he spoil his son-in-law so much, and send a thin horse, he is also the only old Taishan, and when he comes to Yunnan, I have to share it with him. ”

The eldest already has an heir, but the third child has not moved here for more than a year or two years, which really makes Old Man Yang anxious!

"This thing...... Lian'er is not yet old, so let's go in a few years! ”

Yang Meng is telling the truth, Tang Meiyi is okay there, but this Lian'er's age is too young, and then there is his own age, Yang Meng has been on guard, and he doesn't want to have a child too early.

"In a few years, will you take your heirs to my grave? When I was my age, the boss was crawling all over the ground, wait? Do you want to consume me? ”

Yang Meng thinks this is reasonable, but he can't get by with the old man! This is a strange thing to say, after being married for nearly two years and having no heirs, this third child is still reasonable.

"Hey, hey! How ugly your old words are, tell me about it! How many are you going to hold? I'll make it for you. ”

"The skin is tight, isn't it?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I've settled down at the second brother's place, the iron factory in Xishan has been produced, why don't you go over and take a look?"

"Good! It's out! In this iron factory in Xishan, Master Ge has been busy over there for more than a year, right? I've seen the furnace that smelts iron, it's much bigger than ours, and it would be nice to be able to produce iron.

I won't go there, what's so nice about molten iron? Wait for the steel over there, get me a sheep ancestor law, the volume can not be smaller than yours, Lao Tzu will show you in front of the ancestors of the past dynasties.

This iron factory is the business of eternity, you must take care of it, Master Ge also took a lot of effort, while studying the cannon casting, building the fort, but also supervising the iron factory, you can't treat others badly. ”

Yang Shiqin also felt very gratified, his third child earned countless silver for the Yang family, but it was still this iron factory, which made Yang Shiqin the most comfortable, the scale of Xishan Iron Works is not small, if there is that output, the blacksmith shops in the whole territory of Yunnan are not as good as a Xishan Iron Factory.

Since the third child opened his mind, this is the first thing that can really be touched, and there is a great achievement, this thing is the first time in the world!

"I'm in my province! Second brother, come according to mine? ”

"Hmmm! There you go! Prepare some money and reward the craftsmen who have contributed their efforts. Your second brother, just watch more. There is one more thing I want to remind you, Lin Zexu is a good official and has a high reputation, and you are not allowed to secretly use some indiscriminate means against him, which will cause people to criticize. ”

"Zhilu Dao! I'm not going to do that unless it's a matter of life or death. ”

It's okay to compromise, but Yang Meng has a limit, and if it comes to a critical time, there are some things that have to be done.

"Alright, you go to the West Mountain! Remember the things of the offspring. ”

When it comes to the end, I have to do it. Yang Shiqin also knows this. The way of the world is like this. Everyone wants to live well, how will they look at their own creation in the future!

With Pan Gui holding a few carts of gold and silver, Yang Meng was also looking at the nearby environment, the smell of soot in his nose made him more careful, although the Xishan Iron Works was open at night to make iron, but Xishan was too close to Kunming, and the fire during iron smelting. The valley can be blocked, but the scattered soot will one day expose the location of the ironworks.

Relocation? Basically, it is impossible to have coal and iron in Xishan, and if you move to another place, you may not be able to find a place where coal and iron coexist. Without this convenient condition, the large-scale transportation of coal and iron is more likely to expose the location of the iron plant.

As you approach the West Valley step by step, the surrounding trees are on. There is also some more dust in Yunnan since last year. It didn't rain much, and the fly ash on the trees was also a flaw in the Xishan Iron Works.

Drought is also a problem, last year was just a poor harvest, this year's drought is not optimistic, in some places the harvest is not good, it can be predicted, last year's famine, I invested more than one million yuan before and after for porridge, the cost of this is not counting the grain for land exchange.

The price of freight for transporting grain from Huguang and Sichuan is too high, and the freight is better in Sichuan, and the freight is only half of the grain price, but the grain from Huguang is higher than the price of grain alone.

Although disaster relief does not require any good food, it is really not an easy task to do so for two consecutive years.

"The third child, it's here."

Seeing that Yang Meng was a little distracted, Pan Gui mentioned it on the side.

"Oh......"

Yang Meng came back to his senses, raised his eyes and saw that he had arrived in the West Valley, and there were some big changes here, recently he was busy dealing with the affairs of Western Yunnan and Minghu Academy, and Ge Shiyang had always been in charge here, Yang Meng had not been here for more than half a year.

It's not that Yang Meng doesn't want to come and see, but Ge Shiyang's female assistants make people scratch their heads, and Ge Shiyang's insurance media doesn't cover it at all, which makes Yang Meng a little embarrassed.

The main reason is Patrick father and son, the father and son have left Yunnan to Guangzhou, the news there says that they have taken the first batch of ships to sea, the father and son are fighting life and death at sea, and they get their daughter-in-law in the backyard, which is not authentic.

Shaking his head and putting these things aside, Yang Meng took a closer look at the West Valley, the situation here is not very good, not only is it messy but the mountain has also changed color a little, and under the horse's hooves, there is also a layer of soot.

"Brother Gui, you go and organize the manpower, and I'll go around for a while."

After instructing the matter, Yang Meng beat his horse and began to turn around in the West Valley, cinders, slag, and slag were scattered everywhere, and the sewage canals were directly connected to Dianchi Lake.

Come to the end of the valley to see, the beach near the valley are a little black, although the lake in the distance can not see any condition, but only half a year to spoil this place into such a look, not three or two years, Dianchi Lake will have to become a sewage pool, when the time comes, nothing can be hidden.

"Your Excellency, my lord, you're here."

Just when Yang Meng was worried about Dianchi, a greeting with a smell made him come back to his senses.

"Lady Tiffany, you're there too!"

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, whoever scratched his head the most would be blocked in front of his eyes.

"The view here is great, but the factory is about to destroy it."

Tiffany's Chinese has a strong foreign flavor, but the words are still clear, it seems that Ge Shiyang's thief is not dead!

"Hmmm! I'm also thinking about this question, Dianchi Lake is the pearl of Yunnan, because a factory destroys this pearl, the cost is too great. Do you think I should shut down this factory? ”

This is not Yang Meng's heart, he is mainly afraid of exposing the location of the iron factory, Lin Zexu is about to take office, and this matter must be solved. If he sees the scale of Xishan Iron Works, a hat of deliberate rebellion, I am afraid that it will be on the head of the Yang family.

"Ah...... That's the best, I come here every day to see it, I just like the beauty of this place, this iron-making factory, shouldn't be in this beautiful place. Your lord, your heart is truly fascinating. ”

Tiffany didn't speak fast, obviously organizing the language, but this was a good thing, ruining Dianchi didn't seem to be a good thing.

"Lord, don't you want to see the production of the ironworks?"

Ge Shiyang couldn't hold it back, he wanted to give the two of them some chance to be alone, but these two had no problem chatting about the wind and snow, and it was a big problem to talk about whether the Xishan Iron Works should be closed.

"Master Ge is also here, do you think I should close the Xishan Iron Works? The influence of Dianchi Lake and Kunming here is too great, I just left Kunming City, I smelled the smell of soot, and I didn't feel very good.

You see, the beach has turned black in just half a year, and what about the next half year? Do you want to make Dianchi Lake turn black too? ”

Lin Zexu and Dianchi really made Yang Meng think about shutting down the iron factory, Dianchi is not the main problem, the most important thing is the Huchen of the Qing Dynasty!

"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold, and the birth of any beautiful and advanced thing is to go through labor pains. The territory of the Qing Kingdom is vast, but the industrial capacity is too poor, you cherish these things, and the loss will be the whole country.

Do you want your country to become a colony of the great powers? ”

Ge Shiyang's Chinese is getting better and better, and the persuasive ability of these words is also very strong, Xishan Iron Works took two years, and I don't know how long it will take to build another one?

Lin Zexu is a foreign minister, can he do something in this regard? The article can be done, but not now, the matter of Xishan Iron Works, it is necessary to be cautious. (To be continued......)
