Facing the steel monster that he had never seen before, Xiao Cong's face was stunned, he couldn't even imagine that there was such a place in the world, such a strange thing before he saw it with his own eyes.

With a rhythmic rhythm, these steel monsters looked rough and cold, but they were doing things like weaving.

The shock was overwhelming, and Yang Guang said proudly: "This is my "weaver", and now these cloths are produced by them, at least they can run all the time if they are burned on fire." ”

"How much do you pay to make these things?"

"The money for research is very expensive, but now the price has come down after we have formed a scale, to be precise, now we use this tool to make cloth and sell it to Nanchen It is indeed a loss of money, two reasons, the money invested in the early stage has not been earned, and the second reason is that the life of this machine is not good, not perfect enough, and the damage rate is high."

"But now we are starting to grab the Nanchen market, and the same is true of the market in Dasui, enough market will give enough profits, and now the income can support the next research and improvement of the steam loom, and the constantly running machine can also allow our engineers to better improve, and enter a virtuous circle."

Xiao Cong followed Yang Guang around here for a long time, and then reached out to touch a steam loom that was being repaired.

The icy touch came, and next to the long-cooled steam engine, an engineer was studying the cause of the problem.

That unrealistic feeling deeply invaded Xiao Cong's body, and he asked again in a daze, aren't these things really a monster? How could it be that he moved on his own.

"Uncle, don't look at the current environment here is not very good, but this is the future."

Xiao Cong didn't know how to tell Yang Guang about the vibration in his heart now, that is, from this day on, Xiao Cong's trust in Yang Guang changed from superstition, he felt that Yang Guang was definitely not very human, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with following Yang Guang.

Those who are content with wealth and nobility, but are born in high positions with mediocre ability, the best choice is to follow the right person.

Yang Guang further told him about his next plan.

"The textile industry is the first step, and many of the next jobs can be replaced by steam engines, and once the new era comes, it will continue to accelerate, and those with old ideas will be replaced."

Xiao Cong waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about the older generation, I can't keep up, hahaha." ”

"If my uncle is interested, we can study it together at that time."

Xiao Cong hurriedly shook his hand: "No, no, I can't even read books, how can I study this kind of thing, don't think that I can't keep up with you, just kick me away." ”

"Uncle, you are talking to me, how can I do this, Menglan can't beat me every day."

"Hahahaha, if I just saw that this kind of cloth is produced, it can indeed knock down Nanchen's cloth market."

Yang Guang further said: "When Nan Chen's people need to rely on us economically, the civil officials of Nan Chen have scruples when they speak out, and the military generals of Nan Chen have scruples when they fight. ”

"Uncle, if you hesitate, you will lose."

After visiting the factory, the two returned to Gangneung City, and when they entered the city, they went directly to the high-speed carriage road.

Huge and wide road surface, just built, two-way lanes, well-organized.

At this time, there are only a few horse-drawn carriages running on the highway, many of which are freight.

Because it is a newly built road, it is not used enough at present, but with the prosperity of commerce and the continuous development of various industries, this road will become lively sooner or later.

Xiao Cong said with hope: "How spectacular it would be if the Jiangling City Expressway was full of cars." ”

"Uncle will come one day."

Yang Guang rested for a day in Xiliang and returned to Daxing City first.

As soon as she got home, Xiu'er came to visit.

Before the ass was hot, Yang Xiu arrived.

"Second brother, second brother."

The warm greeting makes people feel very cordial.

"Xiu'er, what's wrong with Xiu'er?"

"I happened to pass by nearby, and when I saw the second brother's royal carriage just at the door, I wondered if the second brother had come back, so I came up to ask, but I didn't expect it to be true, so I came to the door to disturb it."

"Sit, let's sit down and talk."

Zhang Xutuo, who was behind him, greeted Yang Guang respectfully: "The last general, see His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”

"No need to be polite, we haven't seen each other for a few days, how are we doing?"

"Thank Your Highness Hongfu, everything is fine."

Yang Guang stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and at this time, Zhang Xutuo realized that His Royal Highness the King of Jin was already as tall as himself.

"Xiu'er, I heard that my father asked you to control the entire southwest border army, you have to show your skills."

When Yang Xiu heard this, she suddenly frowned and sighed: "Alas, alas, ......"

There was obviously something hidden in these sighs, but Yang Guang just didn't ask.

Immediately took out a tea leaf and said, "Xiu'er, come and try this tea I just brought back, Longjing tea from Hangzhou." ”

"Your second brother and I have always liked to drink tea, you also know, I have drunk so much tea, this tea is also the top grade, before the rain falls, the girl who picks tea climbs the mountain in the early morning, must be an innocent girl, gently pick the most tender tea leaves and put them in the belly pocket with body temperature, because the size of the container is often not picked by one person at a time, and you have to hurry down the mountain to take it out when it is no different from the one that has just been picked, the yield is scarce, drinking the tea fragrance overflowing carefully and smelling a trace of the girl's warm fragrance, known as the milk before Longjing."

Yang Guang carefully analyzed the tea for Yang Xiu, and didn't care about Yang Xiu's lamentation at all.

Although Yang Xiu was precocious, she was a little anxious, and she couldn't bear it and asked: "Second brother, although the tea is good, I will drink it later, and I will ask you if I have something to do with my younger brother." ”

Yang Guang sniffed the tea and took another sip, feeling deeply satisfied before replying: "If there is anything I can help you with, you can just say it." ”

"Second brother, this time I want to lead the troops to negotiate with Tuyuhun, so that Tuyuhun can open up trade routes and avoid the impact of its tariffs that will cause the trade routes to be blocked."

Yang Guang nodded: "Well, I know about this matter, Tuyuhun is a small country and a widow, and it is necessary to teach a good lesson by occupying a position to collect tariffs." ”

Yang Xiu sighed lightly again: "Second brother, I haven't fought before, I'm young, I'm inexperienced, and I can't control people, so I came to ask my second brother for advice, what should I do next?" Ask my second brother to give me some advice. ”

Yang Guang directly pushed it away: "I don't know much about the situation in the southwest, and I don't have the right to speak without research, so I don't dare to talk nonsense." ”

"Second brother, I really ask for help."

Yang Guang hesitated and said embarrassedly: "I can only say my own opinion, not count." ”

"Okay, second brother, say it."

Yang Guang said slowly while sipping tea: "Tuyuhun has average national strength, the population is insufficient, and the land it occupies is not a place with abundant water and grass, and the people are strong, and the weakened version of the Turkic people. ”

"But they are on the main road of merchants, so they don't feel like the Turks are invading our dynasty head-on, and there is no nuisance to the caravan after charging high tariffs, the first purpose of your visit is to let them lower the tariffs, otherwise he is making our money for no reason."

"So it's one thing to say that you can't fight or not, you bring the army to exert pressure, not to go up and beat people, with an army of soldiers, horses and weapons to press the border and then chat with people in a good voice."

Yang Xiu said: "Second brother, I think I should learn the lesson of the prince, and if they fight first, they have no power to fight back, and then talk about it, or directly occupy their place and take it for themselves." ”

"This is also feasible for you, the military rations and weapons given by your father are sufficient, and you can also show your strength."

Yang Xiu finally showed his fox tail at this time.

Hehe licked his face and smiled: "Second brother, I went to the firearms workshop some time ago and took a look at the new firearms, with this kind of weapon, our army will definitely be invincible, but......

Li Yuan is really rude and old-fashioned, he just refuses to let me go to the core of the firearms workshop to study, saying that I must have a letter from my father or second brother to enter, and I am not an arrogant person who oppresses people with an official position, so there must be something better in it. ”

Listening to Yang Xiu's complaints, he said that he would not use his official position to coerce Li Yuan, but it was obvious that it should have been coerced but not suppressed.

Li Yuan is not a big girl, what is there to be afraid of with the orders of the emperor and the king of Jin?

Yang Guang gently poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Yang Xiu: "You are too impatient, drink more tea to nourish your spirits, how dare Li Yuan deliberately embarrass you, it is all confidential, if you don't obey your father's death order, you will really die." ”

"Second brother, can't I watch it too?"

"What's there to see, many of the projects studied by the firearms factory are imaginative, and even some of them killed people in explosions, wouldn't it be good for your army to use the ones that have already been produced? Do you still want to make it yourself? ”

Yang Xiu immediately said, "How is that possible." ”

"Isn't that enough? I will let the firearms workshop supply you with firearms in good quality and quantity, but if there is any shortage, I will not spare it. ”

After getting Yang Guang's promise, Yang Xiu thanked him: "Thank you, second brother." ”

Yang Xiu has always been meticulous, more than cautious, but too careful.

This is his first expedition, so before setting off, he has to grasp the details of all the materials and armaments to ensure that they are safe.

This is very good, but it is also too tiring, a person's energy and time are limited, and it is okay to grasp everything by yourself at the beginning, but there are many things, and it will be troublesome to stack them one by one.

It also shows that Yang Xiu's current subordinates are not effective enough, or they don't trust them enough.

You can't lead a team, you can only work until you die.

Yang Xiumei got the promise she wanted and left, and then Yang Guang called Li Yuan and Yang Xuangan, Li Jing was also on the side, and Yu Wenhua and Daxing City also came over.

It's rare for a few people to get together.

Regarding the matter of Yang Xiulai just now, Li Yuan spoke first: "Your Highness, before the King of Shu arrived at the firearms workshop, he was going to the core area with people, if he really broke in, I really don't know what to do, but fortunately, Zhang Xutuo, the general next to him, was quite reasonable and didn't really do it." ”

This depressed appearance looks like a big loss.

"Okay, it's okay, he's just such a personality, and he can't learn it if he shows him, and he can't still rob people? If you dare to rob him, I won't let him go. ”

Yu Wenhua asked a little displeased: "Your Highness, why are you still helping him, Your Majesty has made it clear that he wants to promote the King of Shu, I have always heard that the King of Shu has strategies and ambitions, and he is also making friends with various clans in the fiefdom, are you helping him to set up a stumbling block for himself?" ”

Yang Xuangan saw more clearly than Yu Wenhua, and said leisurely: "Your Highness, this is a chess move, oh no, it's two moves and three moves." ”

Yang Guang smiled slightly and did not speak.

Yu Wenhua hurriedly asked: "What kind of truth is this, what are you talking nonsense?" ”

Li Jing interjected: "What Brother Yang said is right. ”

Yu Wenhua looked puzzled: "The more you talk about me, the more confused I become." ”

Yang Xuangan explained: "Do you think that if His Royal Highness makes a stumbling block for the King of Shu in this matter, do you think His Majesty will blame His Highness?" Could it not even be that His Majesty is waiting for His Highness to make a mistake. ”

Yu Wenhua was said to be able to understand it suddenly, and suddenly realized it.

Yang Guang himself said at this time: "I not only have to help him this time, but I have to help him unreservedly, so that my father and mother have to see it." ”

Li Yuan said with a little worry: "Your Highness, but the King of Shu is more stable than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and he holds great power and has established great achievements, and the threat to you in the future is probably not small, please also consider this matter more." ”

Yu Wenhua and busy: "Yes, yes, the King of Shu has a famous minister and good general around him, and he is ambitious, so he can't conspire with him." ”

Yang Guang stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, when I went out to conquer the Turks, didn't he also lend Zhang Xutuo to me, whether it was to repay the peach or li, or to weigh the pros and cons, at least the firearms he needed should be guaranteed well, so as not to be realized." ”

Yang Xuangan said bluntly to Yu Wenhua: "You see that I think His Highness is smarter and more powerful than me, so I only ask once if I don't understand or can't understand things, and it depends on whether His Highness hesitates or not."

If Your Highness hesitates, it means that Your Highness has no bottom of it, then I will say my thoughts and concerns, if Your Highness does not hesitate, it means that Your Highness is very firm, then even if I don't understand, I won't ask. ”

Yang Guang laughed: "Your temperament is really transparent, but everyone can't be like you, Brother Yuwen is also good." ”

Li Jing said: "Everyone is different, so talents need help from others." ”

After a meeting, everyone left, leaving only Li Yuan.

Li Yuan said to Yang Guang when there was no one around: "Your Highness Eagle Yang Wei news, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince appeared in the court, he was still under house arrest in the palace, and his Royal Highness may be gone to recover, and His Royal Highness is just around the corner to take a step forward." ”

Yang Guang put his hands behind his back, stared at the fish pond, stared at it for a while, and then spoke: "The prince is immoral, the princess has not returned to the East Palace since she gave birth, I see that the matter is more serious than I thought, he is no longer a threat, as for further development, it is indeed just around the corner." ”

"When the king of Shu wins, it is time for this king to go further."
