Thanks to Yang Ye's help, the prospecting team can be said to be smooth all the way in the Northern Han Dynasty. After everyone arrived in Fanzhi County, Yang Ye quickly found a businessman who knew about local mineral deposits, had done business with Liao, and was more familiar with Youdu Mansion through several of his local friends, and invited him to the inn where the prospecting team lived.

After listening to Yu Wende's description, this businessman surnamed Chu immediately understood what he was looking for. It was immediately said that this ore was available locally, but because of its low iron content, the locals generally did not bother to mine it. If Yu Wende and the others really need it, as long as they are willing to pay and can get permission from the government, he will soon be able to provide ore supply for the prospecting team.

There is no shortage of money prospecting teams, but if you want to get permission from the government, you have to go out by Yang Ye. After Yang Ye patted his chest and packed the ticket to ensure that there was no problem in getting the mining permit, Song Feiyang reached a deal with the merchant surnamed Chu for the sale and purchase of pyrite after some bargaining. According to the agreement, the merchant surnamed Chu is responsible for half of the initial capital investment, as well as the whole process of mining and transportation, while the prospecting team is responsible for obtaining the government's mining license, responsible for the other half of the preliminary capital investment, and purchasing the pyrite mined by the merchant surnamed Chu at the price agreed by both parties and conforming to the agreed grade of both parties. At the same time, the two parties also agreed that all the benefits generated by the epigenetic ore generated in the mining process shall be divided in half by the two parties.

After reaching an agreement, Yang Ye immediately took action, and soon used his status as the adopted grandson of the Northern Han Emperor to obtain a mining license from the Daizhou Government of Fanzhi County within two days of the agreement. After the prospecting team handed over the mining permit and 500 yuan of preliminary funds to him, the businessman surnamed Chu did not dare to delay for a moment, and the next day he began to recruit miners in Fanzhi County, preparing various mining tools, and looking like he was going to do a big job.

This result made everyone in the prospecting team very happy, because in this way, they could go home early and wait for Boss Chu to deliver the goods to their doors. Moreover, with Yang Ye's relationship, they are not afraid that this Boss Chu will deceive themselves. Therefore, after explaining to Boss Chu the residence of the crossing team, as well as the time interval and quantity of each delivery to Liangxiang after the pyrite began to be produced, the prospecting team was ready to return to Liangxiang.

The night before leaving for Liao, the prospecting team held a banquet in the largest restaurant in Fanzhi County to entertain Yang Ye. This is not only to say goodbye to Yang Ye, but also to thank Yang Ye for the help provided to the prospecting team.

At the banquet, Yu Wende and others toasted Yang Ye one after another, and Yang Xin sat side by side with Yang Ye, and the two drank with their arms together, which was very close. Thinking that the brothers would be separated the next day, Yang Ye was very reluctant in his heart. Therefore, he offered to stay at the banquet, hoping that the prospecting team, or at least Yang Xin, would stay for a few more days, so that he could fulfill the friendship of the landlord.

The prospecting team had already considered Yang Ye's request before, and had sought the committee's opinion through the radio in advance. After research, the committee felt that Yang Ye's current identity and status, as well as the future development trend, would be a boost to the team, so it was finally agreed that Yang Xin could decide whether to leave or stay according to the actual situation.

The committee originally planned to leave the radio station for him if Yang Xin did not leave, so that he could contact the committee. However, this proposal was opposed by Yang Xin, who believed that the prospecting team was still in danger on the way back, and could not keep in touch with Liangxiang without a radio station. And with Yang Ye's help in the Northern Han Dynasty, there will be no problems, and there is no need to keep the radio station by his side. In the end, the committee agreed with Yang Xin's opinion, and the radio station was still carried by the prospecting team.

As for whether to go or stay, Yang Xin's choice is very clear. For him, he naturally hoped to spend more time with the heroes of the world in his mind, so after Yang Ye expressed his intention to stay, he said to Yang Ye: "What the virtuous brother invites is exactly what the foolish brother wants, anyway, the foolish brother is relatively idle among the brothers, and it doesn't matter if he goes back later." Brother Yu stayed in Han for a while longer, and when Boss Chu's pyrite mine produced enough ore, enough for a shipment, Brother Yu went back with the caravan that sent the ore. However, these brothers of the foolish brother are not as idle as the foolish brother, they still have a lot of things to do in the good country, but I am afraid that they will not be able to stay in the Han country for long. ”,

Yang Ye was very happy when he saw that Yang Xin had agreed to stay longer. As for the fact that the others couldn't stay longer, it didn't matter to him, after all, it was Yang Xin who worshipped him and not others. Because of the joy in his heart, Yang Ye drank this meal quite happily, and Zuihou finally drank himself down, and was carried back to his residence by Yang Xing and Yang Sheng. Also lying down with him was Yang Xin, who was also carried back to his room by his guards.

Eryang was so drunk that he didn't wake up until noon the next day, so that the prospecting team had to push back the departure date by one day, and said goodbye to Eryang on the morning of March 291 of the lunar calendar, and embarked on the journey back to Liangxiang. Because in addition to Yang Xin, two of his personal guards, six soldiers of the Ranger squad, as well as a shopkeeper and one of Song Feiyang's men were also asked by the committee to stay, responsible for protecting Yang Xin and in charge of contacting Boss Chu about the opening of pyrite mines, so there were only forty-one people in the prospecting team on the return trip.

The prospecting team returned from the same road they had come, and the first stop was the small village called Shitai Village. Since it had only been seven or eight days, when the prospecting team entered the village, they could still vaguely see the bloodstains that had not completely disappeared near the official road, reminding them of the somewhat bloody night they had experienced here a few days ago.

When the villagers saw that the team that had saved everyone's lives a few days ago had returned, they came out of their homes to watch, greeted the guards warmly, and asked them to stay at their homes at night. For the villagers' active invitation, Zeng Zhilin naturally couldn't ask for it, and even if he ordered the guards to still allocate accommodation according to the arrangement when he came last time, he went to the tavern with Yu Wende and Song Feiyang with the guards.

The owner and his wife of the tavern warmly welcomed the arrival of Zeng Zhilin and others, and Zhang Luo was busy with each other. Zeng Zhilin expressed his gratitude and asked the boss if any thieves had come to retaliate or harass him in the past few days. The tavern owner said that everything was peaceful in the village and nothing happened.

Hearing that the bandits had not come again, Zeng Zhilin's originally worried heart finally settled down. However, out of precaution, he still instructed Chang Shengjun to be vigilant at night, and he must not be careless, Chang Shengjun agreed to go. However, it turned out that the group of bandits who attacked the small mountain village at night had indeed been wiped out by the prospecting team, and nothing unusual happened that night, and everyone slept comfortably.

The next day, the prospecting team said goodbye to the villagers of Xiaoshan Village, went northeast along the official road, and arrived at the "Jingyuan" on the 20th day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar. After the prospecting team rested for a day in the "Jingyuan", everyone dispersed and returned to their original posts. Among them, Zeng Zhilin returned to Feilong Village with the guards. After Yu Wende and Song Feiyang went to the "Qingyuan" to report the details of the trip to Wang Kunjun, they returned to the "Liangyuan" base and joined the construction of the blast furnace and the open hearth, and went all out to smelt the first furnace of steel in June.

To say that Wende is not the only one in the team who is looking forward to the first furnace of steel, other sections of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Military Department, the Ministry of Security, and even all the members of the committee are all paying close attention to this matter. Because we all know that good steel is of great significance to the development of the team.

However, by mid-May, when the blast furnace and the open hearth were about to be completed, everyone on the team was drawn to something else. What makes this fascinating thing is that it's about to create one of the team's firsts since the time crossing – the first offspring of the team members is about to be born.

On the fifteenth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar in the fifth year of the Ying calendar (the second year of Zhou Xiande, 955 AD), Zhang Xiaofei and Han Qingwen, who had been pregnant for ten months, successively showed that they were about to give birth. Facing the two ladies who were shouting, Wang Kunjun immediately panicked. He ordered someone to immediately invite Doctor Xue and the most stable woman in the county to come, and after letting Lin Xiaoyu assist beside him, he went back and forth in the middle hall at a loss.

He went outside the room on the left for a while to listen to Zhang Xiaofei's movements, and then went to the door of the room on the right to see Han Qingwen's reaction. Listening to the louder and louder shouts of the two ladies and looking at their increasingly painful expressions, Wang Kunjun became more and more anxious. He knows very well how dangerous it is for a woman to give birth to a child in this era, even if there is Lin Xiaoyu, a modern surgeon, but under the condition of lack of various equipment, once a difficult birth occurs, it is still likely to be a tragic ending of one corpse and two lives. ,

It didn't take long for Doctor Xue and the four Wen Po to be invited to the inner house. Under Wang Kunjun's repeated requests, Dr. Xue successively called the pulse of the two mothers and confirmed that their physical conditions were normal. The four women were divided into two groups, each responsible for the production of the two wives.

From ten o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the afternoon on the 15th, a full six hours have passed, but Zhang Xiaofei and Han Qingwen still have not given birth to the child, and the shouting of the two is not as loud as at the beginning, especially Han Qingwen, the voice of the shouting is becoming more and more weak. This frightened Wang Kunjun, thinking that something was wrong, and he was about to break into the inner room. As a result, when I arrived at the door, I was stopped by Wen Po. A stable woman surnamed Ma comforted him and said: "Don't be too anxious outside the king, the two ladies are giving birth to children for the first time, and it will inevitably take some effort." Don't talk about others, let's just talk about the old body himself, when he gave birth to his first child, it took nearly five hours. The two ladies have only been born for three hours, which is not a long time, and they are outside and waiting with peace of mind. ”

At this time, Lin Xiaoyu also walked out of the inner room. She asked Wen Po to go in and take care of her, then pressed Wang Kunjun on the chair and said, "Fifth brother, don't worry, it usually takes a long time for a woman to give birth to her first child, and it takes more than ten or twenty hours." ”

Although Wang Kunjun was anxious, he also knew that he couldn't help much, so he had to sit down patiently, worried: "Although I said that, the medical level of this era is really unrelenting." Xiao Fei is better, after all, she has experienced time and space travel, and she usually practices martial arts, her physical condition is very good, and she can withstand huge physical exertion. However, Qingwen is different, she is young, she is used to being pampered on weekdays, and her body is much weaker than Xiaofei. You also heard it, now Xiaofei is not as powerful as she was at the beginning because of her physical exertion, let alone Qingwen. You say, can I not be in a hurry? ”

Seeing Wang Kunjun's anxious and sweaty appearance, Lin Xiaoyu wanted to persuade a few more words, but he couldn't speak. After all, she knows better about the maternal birth mortality rate in this era than Wang Kunjun, and if it weren't for the lack of necessary equipment at hand, she wouldn't have watched Zhang and Han suffer and be helpless.

As time passed, Wang Kunjun's heart also rose little by little, as an atheist, he even began to pray sincerely to various gods in his heart, praying that the gods would bless his two ladies to give birth to their children smoothly, and pray that the two ladies and their children would be safe.

Maybe Wang Kunjun's prayers worked, or maybe it was really like what Wen Po and Lin Xiaoyu said, a woman who gave birth for the first time would be more time-consuming, and at 6:16 in the afternoon, from Zhang Xiaofei's room, there was a crisp cry of a baby. For Wang Kunjun, this cry is like the most beautiful sound in the world, and he walked around the hall excitedly, with a smile on his face. If it weren't for the customs of this era, he would have rushed into the inner room.

After a while, Lin Xiaoyu came out of the inner room with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand to Wang Kunjun, and said, "Congratulations to the fifth brother, congratulations to the fifth brother, the fifth sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy for you." Now that the mother and son are safe, bring the red envelope quickly. ”

When Wang Kunjun heard that Zhang Xiaofei had given birth to a son for himself, and the mother and son were safe, he was so happy that he almost jumped up. He said to Lin Xiaoyu: "Tongxi, Tongxi, the red envelope is indispensable to the eighteenth sister." Can I go in and see their mother and son now? ”

Lin Xiaoyu said: "The fifth brother has to talk about it, if you don't give the red envelope, be careful that the sister goes to complain to the eldest sister-in-law." ”

Wang Kunjun hurriedly promised: "Eighteen sister, rest assured, the fifth brother will never break his word." ”

Lin Xiaoyu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you can go in." ”

Without waiting for Lin Xiaoyu to finish speaking, Wang Kunjun had already rushed into Zhang Xiaofei's room with lightning speed.

In the inner room, Wen Po and the maidservants were packing up their things, and when they saw Wang Kunjun coming in, they hurriedly saluted and congratulated him. Wang Kunjun said that everyone in the room was rewarded.

Then, he came to the bedside, looked at his wife's tired face with her eyes closed, couldn't help but feel distressed, and reached out to gently brush his wife's forehead and sweat-soaked hair.

Sensing Wang Kunjun's actions, Zhang Xiaofei opened her eyes, looked at him, and then looked at her newborn son beside her, and found that he had fallen asleep quietly, with a loving smile on his tired pretty face. ,

Wang Kunjun squatted down, half-knelt in front of his wife's bed, held her hand, and said softly: "My dear, I have worked hard for you." ”

Zhang Xiaofei shook her head, smiled at him, and said, "Actually, in my previous life, I have always longed to have a child of my own. Unfortunately, due to my busy work, I have not been able to realize this wish. Now that I have such a good opportunity, wouldn't it be a loss if I didn't give birth to one? ”

Wang Kunjun nodded when he heard this, and said: "That's it, that is, in your previous life, you often complained to me that you were too busy with work, and even your children were delayed." Well, now, it's finally gotten my wish. However, I think, anyway, we are both rich and free now, so it is better to work harder, and it is not in vain to give birth to ten or eight of them. ”

Hearing that Wang Kunjun wanted to give birth to ten or eight, Zhang Xiaofei couldn't help but feel angry, and said angrily: "Giving birth to one has already tossed me like this, and giving birth to ten or eight, you are really 'distressed' for me." Besides, you know that I am thirty-six years old this year, which can be regarded as an advanced maternal age, and it is very dangerous for me to have children, and you still want me to give birth to so many children, what kind of heart do you have? You say, what are your intentions, do you want to exhaust me to death, so you can go to the little girl again? ”

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaofei withdrew his hand from Wang Kunjun's grasp, sacrificed the tried and tested "two-finger Zen", and accurately pinched the tender meat on Wang Kunjun's waist. That technique was both fast and accurate, Rao is Wang Kunjun practiced martial arts every day, and he couldn't dodge a single bit. Seeing that his wife's "two-finger Zen" technique is not inferior to before giving birth, and the pain in the waist is not weakened at all than before, Wang Kunjun finally confirmed one thing in addition to the "pain", that is, Zhang Xiaofei is indeed as Lin Xiaoyu said, strong and healthy, and having a child is just a piece of cake for her.

After Wang Kunjun begged for mercy in every possible way, Zhang Xiaofei finally let go of her hand "with great compassion". The husband and wife whispered for a while, and Wang Kunjun said that he would go to Zhang Weixin for advice in a while, and he would definitely give his baby son a good name within three days. Zhang Xiaofei proposed that before determining the name, she must nod her head, otherwise it will be invalid, and Wang Kunjun naturally agreed.

At this time, Zhang Xiaofei suddenly remembered something and asked, "Husband, we are happy to patronize, but we forgot about Sister Qingwen, and I don't know what happened to her." I haven't heard Sister Qingwen's shouting for a while, it shouldn't be that something is wrong, you can go over and take a look. ”

After Zhang Xiaofei's reminder, Wang Kunjun also reacted. Just now, he was patronizing and happy, ignoring the fact that Han Qingwen had not yet been born. So, after he said to Zhang Xiaofei, "I'll come to see you and my son later", he hurriedly left Zhang Xiaofei's room and returned to the atrium.

Coming to the door of Han Qingwen's room, Wang Kunjun called a maid who came out of it and asked, "How is the situation of the little fifth lady, has she given birth?" ”

The maidservant replied, "Back to the fifth master, the little fifth lady has not yet been born." Wen Po said that the little fifth lady is weak and will be born slowly. ”

Wang Kunjun became anxious when he heard this, and ordered: "You go in and call Wen Po out, and the master wants to ask her." ”
