It's not unusual to be able to make artillery, it's all about how to mass-produce it.

Ge Wenbin introduced that many crucibles smelt alloy steel solutions, and then pour these solutions into molds and cast, which must be difficult to mass-produce.

After sending the two away, Wang Xuan was thinking about ways to improve the efficiency of smelting.

People live for a lifetime, plants and trees for an autumn, and since he comes, he always wants to leave something.

If the previous perception in the south of the city farm made him determined to make a career, then now in the face of the oppression and threat of the behemoth of the royal capital, what he has to do is not only a career, but a major event that changes the sky and the earth.

In late June, Hudong Pedestrian Street was officially completed.

Wang Xuan, Zhang Yun, and Gu Yudong (old man) were invited to participate in the celebration.

And today, as the mayor of Jianye Town, Hedong, Mr. Gu is the most beautiful boy in the town.

"It's been almost two years, and I'm lucky to be one of the first people to follow the old lord to the auspicious wilderness. ”

The old man's rough face was a little abruptly flushed, and his resolute cheeks made people unconsciously quiet.

At that time, the old lord was still very strong, and with his brothers, he resolutely set foot on this wild land for the dream in his heart. Our hearts are full of pride, and the powerful enemy has been defeated by us, and there is no more difficulty in this world that we cannot overcome. ”

He was the only one standing on the podium, talking to the crowd below, but it was so harmonious and harmonious.

"However, in the face of the unknown world, our bravery and perseverance seem so weak, we do not know where the enemy will come from and when it will come. Despite our caution and care, we still cannot avoid the dilemma of gradual attrition. ”

"We are like flies without a head, and it is only when our companions are wounded or killed that we find out where the enemy is, they are a thousand times more cunning and vicious than humans, and they always play us around, but we are helpless. ”

People listened carefully, and now there are nearly 200,000 auspicious people, and less than 70,000 have experienced the great attrition of the original wasteland.

This is the eternal pain in the hearts of the auspicious people, and it is also the eternal pride in the hearts of the auspicious people.

"We all knew at the time that there was no way out, and nearly half of them were the soldiers who were captured in the previous dynasty and were extremely family-oriented, and the old lord had a word first, and everyone was treated equally. Those who were assigned to them, in order to open up space for survival, went forward and succeeded, and now there is no one in ten, and the old lord has always felt guilty about this until the day he died, and he still muttered words about the injustice of the heavens. ”

At this point, a number of the elders present began to sob, and as you know, each of them is a person with a story.

"At that time, there was a shortage of supplies, and the weeds on the shore of the lake grew taller than people, and when they first got off the boat, many people were attacked by wild boars and beasts inside, and thirty or fifty people were killed and wounded at once. ”

The old man seemed to have fallen into the abyss of pain, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be unable to extricate himself.

"Women, children, and the elderly are all arranged in the back, and there are two or more young and strong people in the family, and at least one of them is in the front. It's not that he is young and strong, but that he is dead, and there are still people in the family who will provide for the elderly and take care of the children!"

The sobs at the scene were a little loud, and some of them were already slumped to the ground, leaning on the support of others.

"There are so many unknowns here, sometimes a thorny plant can kill several young people, a poisonous snake hiding in the grass can kill one or two people, and even a spring can kill a group of people...... We can't prevent it. ”

The crying at the scene was uncontrollable, and some of the outsiders were also infected by the atmosphere, and their noses were uncontrollably sour.

At that time, the old lord was very worried, and then forbade everyone to go south without permission, hoping to have the best of both worlds to reduce casualties. ”

"Some of the young men who died had wives and children, and the old lord let their wives and children live in the rear, and when the man died, the family's contribution had been completed, so no one asked them to go to the front again, and the life had to go on, and the population had to multiply. ”

At this time, the cries of some of the women below drowned out the sobbing, and some of them even fainted at the thought of the sad place.

"Auspicious, is the name of the old lord based on good expectations, our generation has paid too much, is to hope that future generations can no longer shed blood and sacrifice, can live happily and healthily in this auspicious land. ”

The old man's eyes also left tears of longing, and the people present, regardless of their age, fell into a sad atmosphere, as if they felt the same way!

More and more families have lost their sons, husbands, and fathers, but some heroic wives, daughters-in-law, and mothers have resolutely picked up hoes and continued to open up the wasteland. If we want to survive, we need enough land to feed everyone, and if we have land, we have to open up wasteland. As a result, some children who have lost their fathers have become orphans in less than a few months, and there are so many orphans......"

The old man couldn't say any more, his old body curled up together, his hands on his face, and his body trembled up and down with sobbing.

Wang Xuan was sad in his heart, what he had seen and heard in the past few years, and the feelings he had experienced had a deep impact on him.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

Everything he does is for everyone to live a good life, no longer be bullied, and be able to stand tall and be an upright person.

After listening to the old man's words, he suddenly felt that what he had done was far from enough, and that he was too much worse.

"Sometimes several people die in a day, the stronger ones can survive for a day or two, and the better ones can change their lives if they don't die for three days. At the peak, sixteen young people died in one day, younger than all of you, and I remember the youngest was only fourteen years old, and before he said to him, don't let him die in vain, or he will be disappointed......"

"At that time, people died, and they couldn't just be buried, and the land was expensive. Therefore they piled up the wood they had chopped down, and burned the people together, and then they divided the ashes mixed with the ashes of the wood and the ashes of others, and set aside a small piece of the ground, and buried them. ”

At this time, some people suddenly realized why different families came to the same grave during the worship.

"Everyone knows the climate here, if people are gone today, they will basically burn tomorrow, and they will stink later. Some families don't go through the temporary lord's mansion, they wrap themselves in a broken mat and dig a pit and bury it, and we also turn a blind eye, there are too many dead people to take care of!"

The atmosphere at the scene became more and more depressing.

"In this way, the surrounding areas of Jixiang City and Jianye Town were filled in with human lives. Later, when the Red Flame struck, we stopped and stopped for a few years, and we never flinched. We know that we have persevered in the face of the difficult times of the unknown, and what reason do we have to retreat in the face of familiar human beings?"

At this point, the scene suddenly resounded with fierce applause and cheers.

It's like I've been depressed for a long time, and I need to find a venting point, and the sound is shocking.

"Most of you know what happened later, after the young master succeeded to the throne, we lived like individuals. ”

At this time, the atmosphere of the scene gradually normalized, and the excitement gradually calmed down.

"At the beginning, the Red Flame people were invincible, and the soldiers were in the city, and we almost died, but fortunately, God favored auspiciousness and invited us to a peerless genius that has not been encountered in a hundred years or even a thousand years, leading us to glory auspiciously. ”

"Wow"

The following began to boil again, and the people who had passed through the initially oppressive atmosphere suddenly burst into unprecedented passion at the mention of their pride, venting, grateful, and at the same time rejoicing.

"I'm old, and when the town was built in Hedong, I made an agreement with the lord that I would retire this year and concentrate on studying the commercial development of our territory. Last month, the Government Council and the Lord also agreed to my resignation, although I am no longer the mayor of Jianye Town, but I am still an auspicious leader, and I will always be concerned about the development of Jianye Town. I hope that everyone will continue to build our homes and build their own future with their hands step by step. This is our tradition, our self-improvement and self-reliance, we must not forget our roots. ”

"The future belongs to auspiciousness, and it belongs to the thousands of small families that make up the auspicious family, and the thousands of you ...... who make up thousands of small families."

Everyone's passion is released, it is inevitable that the heart is sad, the old mayor who led everyone to get rich is really old, and now it has come to the time when he has to take a back seat, and everyone will inevitably sigh in their hearts.

"I should have retired in March, but the Lord insisted on letting me persevere until the pedestrian street was completed, so I am grateful in my heart. No matter where I am, whether I live or die, I have no regrets in this life and am an auspicious person!"

The scene was silent for a moment, and suddenly~

"No regrets in this life, mascot!"

"Be a mascot in the next life......"

Some outsiders are a little difficult to understand the mascot's sensibility at first, but with the introduction of their own emotions, they gradually understand that the auspicious has grown from scratch, from a weak ant who is bullied by others, to a powerful territory that is not afraid of any oppression, any threat and intimidation today, this huge contrast from the earth to the sky makes the mascot full of pride in the world.

They have reason to be proud, they have reason to be fearless, because of the greatest difficulty, they have already won ten years ago.

The old man poured out his feelings over the years, and his mood was agitated, but he was deeply lost.

"Don't be lazy, our auspicious business alliance still depends on you to integrate!"

Wang Xuan saw the reluctance in the old man's heart, so he joked.

"Hey, don't worry, Premier Zhao is gone, we're still here, I can't say that I will surprise the old lord when I meet them. ”

Wang Xuan's heart was desolate when he heard this, these older generation of singing and crying and lovely people were leaving him one by one, he felt lonely and painful.

Although they do not have contemporaneous topics with Wang Xuan, they all have the determination and perseverance to dedicate everything to the people, and like-mindedness is the best common language.

However, as time goes by, Wang Xuan will become more and more lonely.

There is no shortage of aspiring young people in the younger generation who inherit the legacy of the older generation, but Wang Xuan always feels that there is no longer as much of a heart between him and them as before, and there is always an invisible gap that blocks the communication between each other's hearts.
