This voice, this voice... Lu Yan suddenly felt a sense of intimacy that he had not seen for a long time, "It's that guy Zhang Fei who's here!"
Lu Yan led Ma Jun and others towards the outside of the steel factory.
At this time, Tian Chou had already issued a seal, passed the guards of the steel plant, and walked towards the steel plant.
The two groups of people finally met at the gate of the steel factory. Lu Yan took a closer look and realized that in addition to Tian Chou and Zhang Fei, Guan Yu was also here.
"My subordinates, please see Lu Xiuqi!" Tian Chou bowed and bowed.
"The last general has seen Lu Qiaoqi!" Zhang Fei and Guan Yu saluted with clasped fists.
"You don't need to be polite." Lu Yan helped and everyone stood up.
Then, Lu Yan smiled and said to Tian Chou: "I have to trouble Zitai to go to the deep mountains and forests despite my busy schedule. I really feel sorry for you!"
"Hehe!" Tian Chou chuckled and said, "Lu Qiaoqi, you put such an important institution in our Youzhou, can I not be more active?"
After Lu Yan finished talking to Tian Chou, he turned to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and asked, "Yun Chang, Yide, why are you two here too?"
Guan Yu glanced at Tian Chou, and then replied: "Tian Governor said that you want to build a very important workshop here, so my third brother and I plan to come and see it with our own eyes, so that we can make some arrangements for the surrounding defenses."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are now mainly responsible for the defense of Fanyang County in Youzhou.
However, after Lu Bu takes over the defense of Youzhou in a while, the two of them will be stationed in Shouchun or Lujiang, Huainan, together with other generals of Youzhou.
Xiliang is relatively peaceful now, and Yizhou is a little peaceful. Cao Cao's current strategic focus will undoubtedly be Jingzhou and Jiangdong.
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Lu Yan were old acquaintances, and they had known each other for more than ten years.
Zhang Fei never minced words when talking to Lu Yan: "Mr. Lu, do you think we still have a chance to enter the grassland? Last time you and Prime Minister Cao used a surprise attack to destroy Wuhuan, the three counties of Wuhuan. You are destined to leave your name in history.
It made me and my second brother really hungry for a while."
"Ahem!" Guan Yu coughed, quietly distanced himself from Zhang Fei, and thought to himself: "This idiot really talks about anything."
Zhang Fei was not embarrassed at all. He even deliberately moved closer and said, "Second brother, is there anything else you can't say in front of Mr. Lu?"
"Yide..." Guan Yu glared at him and said, "Pay attention to the occasion!"
"..."
After the small interlude, Lu Yan, Tian Chou, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu followed Ma Jun around the steel plant to get a preliminary understanding of the surrounding situation.
"I noticed that our place is a valley. The mouth of the valley is only about three feet long, so we can set up a checkpoint." Guan Yu said after observing the terrain.
"This valley is like a gourd. It is indeed a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack." Tian Chou nodded, cupped his hands and said, "Then I will leave all the defense arrangements here to Generals Yun Chang and Yide."
"Here!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said in command.
In fact, Tian Chou chose Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to be responsible for the defense of the steel plant out of factional thinking.
The steel plant was established under the leadership of Lu Yan, and his guards were naturally more reliable "from his own family."
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were undoubtedly classified as Lu Yan's family, and it was precisely because of this that Tian Chou found the two of them to be responsible for establishing the defense of the steel plant.
At this moment, the deputy who was in charge of building the unicycle ran over and shouted: "Lu Qiaoqi, the unicycle is ready!"
In less than an hour, the first wheelbarrow was built.
At this time, Lu Yan, Tian Chou and others happened to see a craftsman pushing a wheelbarrow, which later became known as the "chicken bus".
Lu Yan looked at the unicycle and asked, "How do you feel?"
The craftsman put down the handle of the unicycle in his hand and said, "Go back to Lu Xiao to ride... Although this car only has one wheel, it is very easy and stable when pushed up."
Lu Yan nodded and said, "You guys move a few bags of iron ore up there to see if the car is strong and how much weight it can carry."
After Lu Yan finished speaking, several craftsmen came not far away carrying iron ore.
After putting the two bags on, Ma Jun urged the craftsman of the cart: "Push... push it twice and try it!"
The craftsman pushed a wheelbarrow containing two bags of ore and made two large circles around the crowd.
After finishing, he couldn't help but praise: "This wheelbarrow is really great! Pushing two bags of iron ore, I don't even feel strenuous at all!"
Tian Chou stood aside and said nothing. He just watched in silence as Lu Yan ordered people to load iron ore into the wheelbarrow...
To facilitate calculation, one bag of iron ore weighs about one hundred kilograms (Hanjin); and now there are five bags piled on this unique wheelbarrow!
That's a full five hundred kilograms. With such a heavy weight, the craftsman can still push the wheelbarrow as fast as he can!
However, the good times did not last long,
During the second lap, the wheelbarrow "clicked!" and then "clanged!" and fell apart. The iron ore fell to the ground and was scattered all over the ground.
At this time, Ma Jun came forward and said to Lu Yan: "Lu... Lu Qiuqi, from my observation, if the unicycle is made of hard... hard wood, the load will be five... five hundred kilograms."
With its weight, you can also walk freely...in the mountains and forests."
"Very good. You are an expert in this field. I will leave the fine work such as improvement to you."
"As you command!"
"Only one person can push a cart carrying 500 kilograms as fast as flying..." Tian Chou looked at Lu Yan and asked, "Lu Qiuqi, who invented this cart? With it, from now on, the army will be able to carry food, grass and baggage."
Transportation will greatly reduce consumption, and the benefits will be endless!"
When Tian Chou asked who invented it, Ma Jun and the other craftsmen immediately cast their admiring eyes on Lu Yan.
"Did Lu Xiuqi invent it?" Tian Chou suddenly said, "I have long heard that Lu Xiuqi has many fantastic ideas..."
Lu Yan waved his hand and interrupted Tian Chou, saying: "Some trivial matters are insignificant. How to continue to improve the efficiency of steelmaking is the top priority."
Ma Jun and other craftsmen all bowed and saluted: "I will do my best!"
"You left your hometown to come here, and you have to work hard without words..." Lu Yan looked at the young faces, and then said with a smile: "I announce that the salary of all the craftsmen in the steelmaking plant will be doubled!"
"Wow!!!" The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar, followed by loud cheers.
The salary of this group of craftsmen is already very generous, and some of them can even earn a regular income a month.
However, Lu Yan suddenly doubled their wages with a wave of his hand. Who can not be excited?!
After a brief silence, bursts of cheers suddenly erupted in the ironworks.
