Puyang has expanded on a large scale in recent years, and the courtyard is more than ten miles west of the old city, if it is not controlled, the small hills where the Taihe courtyard is located may have been swallowed up by Puyang New Town. But after all, the status of Taihe Courtyard is transcendent, so in the process of expansion, Puyang intentionally or unintentionally ignored the direction where the Courtyard is located.

And with Taihe Villa as the center, a forest was planted within a radius of dozens of miles. The annex is surrounded by this sparse forest, and it is as peaceful as ever.

When the ancient cyan disc-shaped flying car passed through the Five Elements and Four Elephant Arrays and landed in front of the courtyard, this ancient and quiet courtyard finally boiled.

"It's really the owner!"

Guan Hai shouted, looking extremely excited: "The owner is back, the owner is back!"

The fierce sound rippled, many figures shot out, and in a few breaths, fifty or sixty people gathered in front of Zhao Yu.

This is not over, then, seven or eight years old, five or six years old, and even three or four years old little hairy children came out of their heads, hiding behind the adults, with a pair of curious eyes, secretly looking.

Zhao Yu laughed.

The hard work at the beginning was finally not in vain. These little children must be the descendants of these nurses.

Men and women, looking at Zhao Yu, bowed in unison: "Meet the owner and Mrs."

Zhao Yu nodded: "No need to be polite. I haven't seen you for ten years, and it seems that you are all good, and I am very relieved. This courtyard finally has the atmosphere it should have..."He swept his gaze over the children hiding behind the adults, and was extremely satisfied: "After all, the courtyard needs to be inherited..."

"Alright. After a pause, Zhao Yu waved his hand: "Cai Bo and Guan Hai stay, and the rest of the people are scattered." ”

"Wow. ”

After a few words, he didn't say much, and waved everyone away, leaving only Cai Bo and Guan Hai.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Cai Xiaomei, who looked very mature, supporting Mrs. Cai, surrounded by Xiaochun and other four maids, and walked out of the yard.

I haven't seen her for ten years, and Cai Xiaomei is twenty-five or six. At the beginning, the young and lively little demon king has long been annihilated in time, but now at a glance, he is also like Zhao Ji, with a mature temperament and gentle as jade. In comparison, Mrs. Cai looks a few years younger. As for Xiaochun and the other four maids, like Cai Xiaomei, they are also eighteen changes in the female university.

Zhao Ji was very excited, and hurriedly stepped forward to worship her mother, hugging Cai Xiaomei, her eyes flushed.

Zhao Yu met the old lady first, and when the other four concubines met with the old lady, he called Guan Hai and Cai Bo aside and inquired about the affairs of the other courtyard in the past ten years.

"After the master and the ladies left, the chores of the annex have always been handled by the old slaves. Cai Bo said: "When the old man left, Zuo Ci Zhenren and Hua Tuo Divine Doctor stayed in the other hospital for more than a year, and they all went. Every year on the Shangyuan Festival, Cao Gong would come to the other courtyard with eleven disciples of the master. Within three years, they all had families one after another. ”

After a rough talk of the changes, Cai Bocai said carefully: "For three years, Cao Gong ruled the world. In four years, Cao Gong began to build a large-scale Fu Gong car and ship. The stove that was opened when the old man left was finally used. Cao Gong did not directly intervene in the refining of the core power module of the talisman car and ship, but only sent a large number of materials every half month or month, and the refining process was presided over by the old slave. ”

Zhao Yu bowed slightly: "In other words, it has been six years since the large-scale construction of Fu Gong vehicles and ships, and what are the results?"

Cai Bodao: "In four years, there was no real result, and there was even an accident. The first batch of ten Fu Gong flying boats were built due to flaws in the inscription of the road pattern, and fell during the test flight, and dozens of lives were killed. ”

"Oh?" Zhao Yu's expression changed, and then he nodded: "Also, the talisman car and ship are not toys, they are not so easy to build." ”

Cai Bo said: "What the master said is true. Therefore, after that, Cao Gong's second test flight was at the end of five years after the year. I heard that due to the accident, Mr. Ju Zimo personally led a team to study, and worked together with Zuo Ci and others to solve the problem in more than a year. The second test flight was done. ”

"It's good to do it twice. Zhao Yu was quite satisfied, and said: "So far, how many core power modules have been refined?"

"The old slave is recorded. Cai Bo said: "Since the end of five years, the demand for core power modules has increased year by year, counting the batch sent by Cao Gong half a month ago, the total has exceeded 5,000. ”

"Five thousand?!"

Zhao Yu laughed: "Not bad, not bad!"

In other words, so far, Cao Mengde has a maximum of 5,000 rune speedcars.

This may seem like a small number, but if you think about it carefully, you will know how amazing all the aspects involved are in this era. The steel and jade consumed by 5,000 power modules alone is an astronomical amount.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yu couldn't help asking: "Are all the gold and jade materials needed for the core power module refined by the furnace of the other courtyard?

Cai Bo smiled: "Old man, Rong Yu." In the first two years of the large-scale construction of the talisman car and ship, it is true that all the gold and jade materials were refined from the furnace of the other courtyard. At the age of seven years, the capable people under the command of Cao Gong had learned the methods of mundane smelting, and since then, the materials transported have been all ordinary gold and jade, rather than steel and jade. ”

Zhao Yu was satisfied, stroked his palms and smiled: "Very good." ”

Zhao Yu was satisfied, not only because of the refining of gold and jade with the furnace, although the quality was higher, but the consumption was greater. What's more, after the smelting technology of gold and jade is thoroughly understood, it is a huge change for the whole society. The gold and jade material is tough, wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, not afraid of oxidation, and more importantly, it can circulate the heaven and earth Yuanqi. The benefits are endless. Once the smelting technology of gold and jade materials can be molded through and can be mass-produced, then the world will inevitably change in every corner.

In this way, the scale of steel production under Mengde's rule has increased dramatically, and the mining industry has become more and more prosperous. Zhao Yu said a word, and then said: "In the past ten years, how has the courtyard itself been?"

As he spoke, he arrived at the earthen courtyard.

The furnace in the courtyard was shining brightly and had been in operation for ten years. When Zhao Yu left, he activated this furnace ding. If he doesn't start the furnace, he won't be there, and once Cao Mengde wants to build a large-scale talisman chariot and ship, he will be stuck here.

Therefore, I had to let the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, where the formations converge, burn in vain for four or five years.

Fortunately, after some transformation of the Five Elements and Four Elephant Arrays, these consumption is not a big burden.

Cai Bo said: "Every time Cao Gong sends gold and jade, the old slave can refine it into a finished product in three days at most. Therefore, there is no accumulation of material. ”

The earth courtyard looks the same as always, but the bluestone on the ground, and the surrounding houses have a little more of the breath of time, which is much more ancient and elegant.
