Except for this little episode by Liu Ziheng, the banquet that night went smoothly, starting at 8 o'clock and ending before the curfew at 12 o'clock.

The next morning, the official meeting between the two sides took place at the Shenwu City Political Center.

The line of shells and guns, the price was previously confirmed by both sides, and there is nothing to talk about. The two sides find a time and directly face each other to barter.

However, Chen Yuan came to Shenwu City this time, not only to exchange two sets of production line materials. He also had to exchange other equipment and supplies. Therefore, the meeting between the two sides on this day revolved around a new list of equipment and materials drawn up by Chen Yuan after visiting the bazaar in Shenwu City yesterday. These include textile machines, printing and dyeing equipment, sewing machines, CNC machine tools, finished 122-mm shells, 60-mm mortar shells, etc. Even armored personnel carriers are on the list of inquiries.

Finally, after a day of negotiations, Chen Yuan finally exchanged the materials he brought this time for a total of 1 set of artillery shell production lines, 1 set of gun production lines, 3 industrial textile machines, 2 printing and dyeing equipment, 20 electric sewing machines, 1 CNC machine tool, 3 stamping machines, 800 rounds of 122 mm caliber artillery shells, and 1200 rounds of 60 mm caliber artillery shells. Some of the materials began to be loaded on the same day.

As for the armored personnel carrier, Shenwu City agreed to sell some second-hand ones. The price is also reasonable, but it cannot be delivered immediately. It would take 1 month later, so Chen Yuan booked 9 units and exchanged them with the corresponding copper, saltpeter, sulfur, steel, grain and other materials.

The deal was done, and Chen Yuan and they didn't stay long. It was decided that the next morning, we would set off back to the Iron Castle. However, this time, in the convoy that went back, there were more than a dozen cars from Shenwu City.

It turned out that after learning that Chen Yuan and the others were going to leave for the Steel Castle the next day, Qin Mushan and the others had a meeting overnight that night.

Given that the Iron Citadel has all kinds of materials that Shenwu City urgently needs, and the amount that can be traded is very considerable. In addition, judging from the development of the Steel Castle that we have learned so far, there are many experiences that Shenwu City can learn from.

Therefore, Qin Mushan and the others temporarily decided to send a convoy to the north with Chen Yuan and them. On the one hand, it is to study and learn from the development experience of the Iron Fort, and on the other hand, a fixed liaison office is also set up in the Iron Castle to facilitate future trade between the two sides.

And Chen Yuan immediately decided to leave some people behind and set up a fixed liaison office in Shenwu City.

It was Qin Cheng and Qin Mengyao who set off with Chen Yuan and them to go to the Iron Castle.

And the person left behind in the Iron Castle to be responsible for setting up the liaison office is Zhang Fatzi. Both sides attach great importance to future trade exchanges, and naturally they must send some important people to be responsible for the initial preparatory work.

And there is another reason for leaving Zhang Fatzi. Zhang Fatzi's hometown is in Beitong City, Jin Province, 500 kilometers away from Zhangjiakou. Leaving Zhang Fatzi behind also gave him the opportunity to find his family.

When Chen Yuan and the others set off, Qin Mushan and the others all went to the school to see them off. Qin Mengxue didn't follow with her because she had a mission, and she cried so much that Wu Qingfang was made to cry.

But there was no way, Chen Yuan could only comfort her and say that he and Old Man Qin would find a way to restore the railway traffic between the two places as soon as possible, and then the communication between the two sides would be much more convenient.

Four and a half days later, Chen Yuan and the others returned to the Iron Castle smoothly.

Qin Cheng and Qin Mengyao were surprised by the wide and thick city walls, the clean and neat European-style buildings, the wide and smooth blue brick roads, all kinds of busy factories, the bustling markets, and the enthusiastic and always smiling residents.

In many respects, this place is ahead of Shenmu City. The current Shenwu City, in addition to the production of the military industry, many civilian aspects have not yet been restored!

Qin Cheng couldn't help but ask, "I said Chen Yuan, did you really build such a well-equipped settlement out of thin air in just two months?" ”

Chen Yuan smiled and replied, "To be precise, it took us two weeks to build the settlement. And then slowly expanded and transformed into what it is now. ”

"Due to the increase in the population of our settlements, the Iron Castle has changed from five districts to nine districts. ”

He pointed to the straight avenue they were currently taking: "With Central Avenue as the dividing line, they are North 1-3, Northeast 1, South 1-3, Southeast 1 and East 1. ”

"North 1 is the factory area, our arsenal, blacksmith shop, food processing factory, machine manufacturing plant, textile factory, shoe factory, running water, heating, power plant, etc."

Qin Cheng nodded and said, "I have food and clothing, and I will ensure that the people will not be chaotic at these two points." ”

"Yes, as long as the current survivors can eat and dress warmly, everyone is already very satisfied. However, we still need to further enhance the richness and diversity of food! So our food processing plant also splits up many different workshops to process different ingredients. Chen Yuan continued: "South 1 is a breeding area, mainly breeding chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, pigs and horses. ”

"It's pretty complete." Qin Cheng's eyes flashed, and he smiled calmly and asked, "How many cattle and sheep do you have, can you sell some to us?" You also know that in the past, the environment was very badly damaged, and the mountains were bare, and there was basically no vegetation in sight. So when we laid down the black outlet, we couldn't find half a cow or sheep at all. Later, I bought some from a convoy from the grasslands in the north, and there were only a dozen in total. ”

Chen Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Qincheng, you don't have to think about the cattle and sheep. Together with some of the ones we found in the Northeast, we only had about 100 cows and more than 160 sheep in total. The reproduction rate of cattle and sheep is slow, at most one litter a year, and only one litter per litter. We're going to keep it for a few more years! Let's wait until we get the population up to the top. ”

In fact, Qin Cheng had long known that Chen Yuan would not agree. But he immediately went on to ask, "What about the pigs?" A litter of pigs can give birth to a dozen! It's always okay, right? ”

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly, it turned out that he was waiting for me here! Deliberately not asking about pigs with a relatively high fertility rate, but asking you to raise them first, is to set him up.

However, it is really not good to refuse, so Chen Yuan said: "That's it, wait for the cubs, I will sell you 40 piglets, and you can take them back and raise them yourself." Purebred Northeast Black Pig! It tastes very good! ”

Nenjiang County is a large agricultural county, and pig raising is naturally indispensable.

After coming to the Northeast, they successively got more than 50 Northeast black pigs, and most of them were sows.

What a treasure!

Not to mention the long meat, the key is to give birth to a lot.

The breeder in charge of pig raising said that sows generally give birth to 1-2 litters a year. As long as there are no accidents, by next year, they will be able to produce more than 400 piglets, and they will be able to slaughter in half a year. That's a lot faster than cattle and sheep. By the second half of next year, they will be able to eat fresh pork. (To be continued.) )
