Chapter 106 The largest place in Wannian County

When Li Daozhen saw Chen Jinyong, the Hu man, suddenly felt relieved. As Yu Guni's strength became stronger and stronger, among the three forces in Lingzhou, Yu Guni was the only one side, surpassing the court and Li Daozhen.

Now Yu Guni still maintains a respectful and aweful heart towards Chen Ying, but it is hard to guarantee that he will not have any strange intentions. However, at this time Chen Jinyong came, and Li Daozhen was no longer fighting alone.

Although Li Daozhen looks like she is extremely limited on the surface, she is sad and knows it in her heart. No matter which woman wants to be spoiled, loved and cared for, unless she has to take on all the burdens.

The golden ingot shone brightly under the candlelight. Looking at the sharp golden light, Li Daozhen's face became gloomy little by little: "What does he mean? What are these golds? Is it compensation?"

"I hope the will of the superiors is not what the ministers do!" Chen Jinyong shook his head and said, "The Lord has his own considerations, and the humble ones dare not guess that these golds are placed in Lingzhou and serve as the principal of the money house."

"Isn't it for me?" Li Daozhen laughed in silence and said, "I'm thinking too much!"

Chen Jinyong asked back: "Even if it is given to the county lord, will the county lord want it?"

"Brothers settle the score clearly, that would be too awesome!" Li Daozhen laughed and said with a sneer: "If he gave me these three thousand taels of gold and tried to take away my child, it would be too much of a slight look on me, Li Daozhen!"

Soon Li Daozhen adjusted her mentality. She reached out to touch her bulging belly and said solemnly: "The child is mine, and no one can take it away!"

Li Daozhen did not dare to ask too much. The child born in the future will be the whole of her life. This child is hers, and no one can take it away from Li Daozhen, even if this person is the child's biological father.

Chen Jinyong picked up the tea bowl on the desk, regardless of whether it was hot or not, and drank it all in one go.

Li Daozhen looked at Chen Jinyong vigilantly and slowly frowned: "What are you doing? You won't just send this letter, right? Chen Lang needs someone around him, so you can do this if you find someone!"

"Jinyong is in charge of the Lord's order to protect the safety of the young master!" Chen Jinyong stood up and put on his cloak again with a tired face.

Li Daozhen said: "Xiao Tao, go and arrange for General Manager Chen to rest!"

Chen Jinyong said lightly: "No need, I have to go to Wild Boar Ridge!"

"Now?" Li Daozhen heard the howling cold wind sounded outside the window: "What are you doing at Wild Boar Ridge?"

Chen Jinyong said: "Go and get back what belongs to the Lord!"

Li Daozhen naturally understood what Chen Jinyong was referring to, that was the military power of the Lingwu left and right guards. Since Chen Ying transferred back to Lingzhou, the court demolished part of the Lingwu Left Army and Lingwu Right Army and supplied it to the left and right guards under the name of Changshui Hu Cavalry. However, more than 4,000 cavalry Lingwu Right Army is still in the hands of Asunasmo.

...

After not moving for a long time, Yu Guni's waist had grown fat and he had gained a lot of weight. At this time, in the big king's tent, several Qiang women were wearing exposed clothes and dancing to the sound of silk and bamboo.

"Three stone pots."

"Drink spring water in front of milk tea."

"The big girl in the high hall doesn't like it,"

"I wish to live in a rock nest with my elder brother."

The Qiang people themselves have no cultural traditions, and their songs are almost straightforward. Of course, the most important thing is that these Qiang girls stand up and don’t care about the green light like a wolf under Yu Guni’s command.

One of the Qiang women was particularly bold and almost stuffed their body into Yu Guni's arms.

As the saying goes, under the lamp, it is ten times better than usual. At this time, the candlelight sways, and the soft light shines on the Qiang girl's face, healthy chestnut skin, her mouth full of moistened teeth when she smiles, and her delicate and red lips are as attractive as jelly. After intense exercise, she gasps and a pair of cute jade rabbits on her chest jumps, making Yu Guni dazzled.

"You, you, you, stay, everyone else will be dispersed!" Yu Guni buried his head in the chest of a Qiang tribe. The feeling of being about to suffocate made Yu Guni burst into tears.

Just as Yu Guni was about to take further action, he suddenly found an uninvited guest in the tent. Yu Guni was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. Seeing that the black shadow was not moving, he lowered his voice and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?"

"Yu Guni, look at you like this, you can't even put down the saddle of your hips and waist? It seems that it's difficult to find a war horse that can carry you. You can ride a mule in the future!"

Listening to the black shadow words, Yu Guni heard it was Chen Jinyong's voice. He pushed the Qiang girl away in his arms and shouted sternly: "Rareless, you dare to talk to me like this!"

Chen Jinyong came out of the dark shadow to the light of the candlelight and said expressionlessly: "I'll get the things from the Lord back. Do you know how to do it?"

“What…what?”

Yu Guni looked at Chen Jinyong with shock.

Power is a deadly poison, but just like drugs, it makes people unable to stop enjoying the taste of power.

"Don't pretend to be confused here!" Chen Jinyong shouted coldly: "A word, should you give it or not?"

At this time, Yu Guni was the uncrowned king of Lingzhou. He controlled the life and death of tens of thousands of people. The taste of this power was very wonderful. Yu Guni was also very obsessed with this feeling, but this moment also made him awake. This power was given by Chen Ying, so Chen Ying could naturally take it back at any time.

Although Chen Jinyong is good at it, Yu Guni has ten thousand ways to make Chen Jinyong die silently.

However, Yu Guni finally sighed, took a gold-plated bronze medal from his waist and threw it to Chen Jinyong.

Chen Jinyong took the bronze medal, looked at it, and confirmed that it was Lingwu Lingjun's trust, and left with satisfaction.

However, just as Chen Jinyong walked out of the tent, a dense sound of horse hooves came from outside the tent.

Yu Guni was shocked and sweated in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and did not do anything irreversible. It was obvious that Chen Jinyong did not believe him. He contacted Ashinasmo first and then came to him. Suddenly, a familiar smell filled the tent, which was actually tinder oil. Chen Ying once used distillation to obtain a tinder oil as clear as water, which burned very quickly. If placed in a sealed container, an explosion would occur.

At this moment, Yu Guni's face changed drastically. She ran to the tent barefoot and jumped up to curse in the direction where Chen Jinyong disappeared, "Your mother!"

...

The land deeds under the jurisdiction of Yuhe Township, 60 miles east of Chang'an, had already reached Chen Ying's hands. Chen Ying was also a landlord with tens of acres of land at this time. However, in the Qinglin and Laohuai Li, all the land in the two miles were directly held by Chen, while the land in Shangyuli, Xiayuli and Yuheli were all affiliated with Chen Ying's name.

Chen Ying looked at the contract signed in the five miles in front of him and smiled: "This is the wisest thing in your life. Even if the landlords with thousands of acres of fertile land in the future, they will not be as good as your life."

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month of the second year of Wude, according to the operating procedures formulated by Chen Ying, the Iron and Steel Plant in Yuhe Township, Wannian County finally completed all the preparations after more than a dozen simulation drills.

The blast furnace located on the banks of Jieyu River was baked for eight days at low temperatures. After careful inspection, there was no suspicious cracks; the pulley set, flywheel, waterwheel bearing, pulley, piston bellows and other moving parts were idling four times after the workers' simulation drill. The situation was very good each time. Now it was filled with enough oil and there was no blockage in operation.

"Grandpa of the ancestor, bless you, make stones turn into iron, and make iron turn into steel..." Ge Tong, Wei Meng, Yan Shihu and other masters twisted three incense with their hands, lit them on the candle, raised them piously over their heads, bowed three times, and then inserted them into the incense burner in front of the statue of Taishang Laojun.

This time, the ignition ceremony was unusual, because in addition to Chen Ying's participation, even the Prince of the East Palace, Li Jiancheng, arrived here. Looking at Li Jiancheng piously inserting the three incense sticks into the incense burner like a craftsman, the craftsmen were so excited that they were extremely excited.

With the crackling sound of firecrackers, Chen Ying reluctantly presided over the construction of the first blast furnace of Chang'an Yuhe Iron and Steel Plant. The firecrackers of this era were just bamboos one by one, stuffed into some saltpeter and threw them into a brazier to burn, and then made a sound. However, this movement was only a little bigger than farts.

Chen Ying shouted in a deep voice: "Blowing wind!"

The rotation shaft pulled by five cows began to rotate slowly. Driven by the rotation shaft and the gear set, the rotational movement turned into the reciprocating movement of the bellows piston. With the rotation of the wood, fresh air blew from the air duct into the blast furnace.

The axle is turned slowly, the ground wind pressure of the blower is small, and the oxygen supply in the furnace is insufficient. Thick black smoke comes out from the top of the furnace. As the speed of the shaft turns faster and faster, the oxygen supply in the furnace is sufficient. The smoke comes out from black to blue, from blue to white, and the color becomes lighter and lighter. Finally, a large flame rises out of the furnace happily.

Li Jiancheng asked nervously: "Chen Qing, can this furnace really produce ten thousand kilograms of iron?"

"Your Highness, I have to correct you. This furnace produces not iron, but steel!" Chen Ying poured a cup of tea for Li Jiancheng: "Your Highness, calm, calm, this furnace of steel will not come out tomorrow!"

It is obviously unlikely to make Li Jiancheng calm.

This blast furnace steelmaking really exceeded Li Jiancheng's limits. Originally, Li Jiancheng was unbelievable when he heard Pei Ju sent back in Lingzhou. When Pei Ju's second secret letter came, Li Jiancheng could no longer sit still. He even came forward and used the influence of the Prince of the East Palace to let Wei Ting come out to lobby Jingzhao Wei and Jingzhao Du, and sold the land near the Jieyu Line they had in their hands to Chen Ying. In this way, Chen Ying actually controlled all the land in five miles, not considered inferior fields. The land alone exceeded 10,360 mu, 16,550 mu, wasteland and land without any planting value, and the land actually controlled by Chen Ying exceeded 50,000 mu.
