In the early morning of the fourth day of December, after Jiang Ning returned from morning exercises, Liu Sisi and Wang Ruoyan had already gotten up and stood at the door of the hall waiting for Jiang Ning.

This three-in, three-out mansion has been repaired and renovated on the first day of December, and all the things Liu Laoliu and Zhao Ziheng have personally handled, and they dare not slack off, which is nearly twice as big as the Jiang Mansion in Hangzhou.

Since Wang Ruoyan entered Luoyang City yesterday evening, he had already boiled water at home, took a bath with Liu Sisi, was exhausted, and went to bed early.

I got up early this morning, only to see the layout in this courtyard, after getting up is in the courtyard of Sanjin, two flower beds in the courtyard, a pool, a pavilion in the middle, a pavilion is planted around a piece of green bamboo, the whole pavilion is covered in it, and there are more tables, chairs and tea sets in the pavilion.

The pool is filled with living water, which is connected to the large pond in the second courtyard, where koi fish swim and are dotted with a lot of decorations.

The two of them live in the two master bedrooms facing the rockery, each with a hall, a bedroom, and on both sides, connected by a corridor is four wings, the crescent moon and the apricot live in one, the four maids who serve live in one, and the remaining two are still idle.

It's just that the weather in Luoyang is already a little cold, and the thick cotton brocade is also worn on the body.

The second courtyard is much larger than the backyard, and there are two floors, the first floor is a main hall through the hall, and there are two living rooms on both sides, one is the study, and the other is the female red, climb the stairs, stand on the second floor of the attic, you can see the scene in the courtyard and the backyard approximately, and the pine and cypress branches can reach out and touch.

At this moment, the two lit a fire in the hall and waited for Jiang Ning to come back for breakfast.

After the bumps along the way and the affairs of Xinyang Mansion, the dependence of the two on Jiang Ning has become more and more obvious, as if without Jiang Ning, the two of them will have no backbone.

"Up?" Jiang Ning smiled slightly and sat down.

On the table is Luoyang's breakfast snacks, Jiang Ning said: "Taste it, Luoyang's snacks are very different from those in Hangzhou." ”

The two sat down, and they didn't know where to start for a while.

But Liu Sisi opened his mouth first: "I went around and returned to Luoyang, I really didn't expect that I could take care of Xianggong with my sister in this life." ”

Wang Ruoyan took Liu Sisi's hand and said: "Today is different from the past, the prince entered the court as an official, and my sister should also do her best to share the worries for the minister." ”

Jiang Ning interrupted: "What I said was as if I couldn't take care of myself anymore." ”

"Hehe......" The two looked at each other and smiled, but spent a reunion after a long absence of months in this laughter.

Thinking of being able to stay with Jiang Ning every day in the future, Liu Sisi was also very pleased in his heart, and under Wang Ruoyan's opinion, Liu Sisi took the initiative to take on the burden of "the first pot in the world", and brought several dishes invented and created by Jiang Ning, and began to open a second store.

Wang Ruoyan is responsible for the family's affairs, whether it is food, clothing, food, housing and transportation, or even the handling of foreign affairs, Wang Ruoyan will also selectively help for some affairs of the Anding Gang and Jing'an Division, so naturally there will be no deviation from the general direction of Jiangning.

In this case, Pang Qingyun took the initiative to hand over the management of the Anding Gang business to Wang Ruoyan, in his opinion, Wang Ruoyan is more suitable to be a manager, and he restricts the personnel and gradually absorbs the forces outside the Jing'an Division.

Zhang Zihan packed up his things and rushed to Yingtianfu with Huo Wenxing on the second day, the opening of Yingtianfu's store was imminent, and Jiangning's mandarin duck array had also been tested in actual combat, and Huo Wenxing was full of confidence.

On the sixth day of December, Zhao Lixuan pulled Jiang Ning to the shop of Xiuye Fang.

"Here's what you've been doing for almost a month?" Jiang Ning looked at the transformed repeater, and used the combination of cow tendon and hemp rope to make a new type of material, and its flexibility has reached a new level.

The transformation of the arrow box also uses staggered pressing through twisted copper yellow, so that one arrow box can hold thirty-five arrows at a time, and the rate of fire and strength are greatly improved.

"Yes, what's going on with the assault rifle?" Jiang Ning asked.

The blacksmith smiled: "Don't worry, your lordship, we have doubled the size of your assault rifle to create one, please take a look." ”

Zhao Lixuan lifted the tarpaulin covering it, and a long-barreled revolver appeared in front of him, holding the gun in both hands to ensure its stability.

What surprised Jiang Ning even more was that with the increase of the wheel, it could hold twelve projectiles at a time, and through the iron ring above, the wheel was detachable, so that it was not necessary to load it on it, but to fix it with hemp rope according to the holes in the wheel, and it could be loaded directly, which greatly saved time.

And with the growth of the barrel, the range and accuracy have also increased greatly, and the material is also made of a material that Jiangning can call pig iron.

"This material, I got it by accident, hehe, after tempering, I found that he was extremely strong, he tried it twice with gunpowder, the temperature was not high, and the temperature cooled quickly, it can be launched extremely quickly without water, it is not too easy to use." The blacksmith explained.

Jiang Ning nodded: "Yes, how to ensure the speed and quality of construction?" ”

"Hehe, Childe, it's still a little understaffed...... This...... How many people are there and how much iron is struck, this ...... It's dead......" explained the blacksmith.

Six people worked overtime to catch up with two.

"As I said, there are no people, but as long as you can improve efficiency, you don't have to worry about money." Jiang Ning said: "Use iron tools to make automatic iron, whether it is a month or two months, others will rush to make it first, find a few people to be responsible for the development of equipment, whether it is water power or wind power, in short, we must do everything possible to increase production, this thousand taels of silver, I put it here, if anyone can develop the equipment, it will be a reward." ”

Sometimes, it's not that the intelligence is not enough, it's not that it won't, but the rewards are not enough, the means of incentives are sufficient, as long as the money is enough, I am not afraid that there are no talented people to show their talents.

Everyone looked at this thousand taels of silver, and their eyes were full of green light, even in Luoyang, a thousand taels of silver is enough to buy a hundred acres of fertile land in the suburbs, and directly incarnate as a landlord, and their children will no longer be engaged in iron-making business.

"It's not just them, it's all of you, as long as you can improve the device, or have a good way to make the device to dramatically increase production, that's not a problem." Jiang Ning is humane to everyone.

This method of motivation has indeed produced good results.

Jiang Ning also saw the sketch of his previous flying boat in the laboratory, and it was time to start developing this thing, especially after the Xinyang Mansion, which was only more than 400 miles away from the capital, it was already such an officialdom, and the Great Xia Dynasty seemed to be indeed dying.

What's more, next year in Chongyang, once the political marriage between the Turks and the Great Yuan is completed, the Great Xia Dynasty will face more than just military pressure.
