"Zhuzhu, how are you? I made the revolver easy to use. I asked Dong Jin to bring it to me this time."
"Uncle, I know you love me the most. This revolver is so useful." When Zhu Zhu heard that the revolver was specially allocated by Uncle Chang, horses came one after another like a tide.
This thing was still in trial production and had no equipment at all. It was mainly because Chang Zhu was worried about Zhu Zhu that she asked Dong Jin to bring a batch of pistols and ammunition in the name of battlefield inspection.
Hong'er was dumbfounded when she heard it. She was stunned with her small mouth.
Only then did she realize that Zhuzhu was such a mean-mouthed guy. His rainbow farts were all over the place, his face was not red, and his heart was not beating. He just opened his mouth. He could really deceive people to death with his mouth.
"Hmph, you have such a sweet mouth. You don't know how you deceived Miss Hong'er." Chang Zhu laughed and scolded.
Zhuzi immediately looked proud and said: "Who made me look handsome? This is our capital."
Soon he felt a sharp pain in his waist.
Chang Zhu laughed and scolded: "I said you are fat and you are breathless. When are you planning to get married? I will give you a big red envelope."
Hong'er's face turned red and she hid behind the pillar shyly. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Uncle Chang, you don't want to make fun of me. Be careful, I will tell you later."
Chang Zhu smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. You have just come back, and you are very tired. Each one of them is almost like a rice dumpling. Those who should see a doctor should go see a doctor, and those who should rest should rest.
Go. Come to me for a drink tomorrow, but don’t forget to give me feedback on the use of the revolver."
Although the conditions of the shipyard are not as good as those of Xincheng Yangfu, there is still a five-story hotel. After all, there are a lot of people here.
Zhuzi and Hong'er checked into the standard room and took a nice hot bath. In the past few days, one thing followed another, and they had no time to take care of themselves. They all smelled. After the young couple finished cleaning up, they went to the second room.
We had a delicious seafood dinner at the restaurant on the floor.
The next day, at noon, Chang Zhu's team and several representatives selected by Zhu Zhu and others gathered for dinner. While eating, they discussed the experiences and lessons learned from the first large-scale use of pistols on the battlefield.
Yang Fan often said that designers must be down-to-earth and communicate with soldiers frequently in order to design good weapons. After all, the battlefield is the only criterion for testing weapons.
That night, Chang Zhu's team ordered a steam engine boat to sail upstream from the North Canal to transport machine tools and equipment back to Xincheng. Zhu Zhu and the others also had to go back to report their work to the master, so they happened to take the boat.
The railway between Xincheng and Changxindian in Beijing has not been started yet, and they don't know why.
If it is opened, they can take the train back and get there in a very short time.
Yang Fan's main consideration was that the slaves would invade this winter. By then, Zunhua, Tongzhou, and Beijing would be the hardest-hit areas. The railways would be easily damaged.
After all, the 762 narrow-gauge railway is easy to build, fast to lay, and saves money. However, the rails are short and light in weight. Jiannu can carry it with a dozen people. The rails are good steel, so Jiannu should not treat him as a treasure.
That's weird.
The existing railways all run on the west bank of the Yongding River, and are not even connected to the capital, just to prevent this. Historically, the slaves did not attack the west bank of the Yongding River, nor did they attack the Tianjin Acropolis.
Their scope of activities is mainly in the Jidong region and the Gyeonggi region.
In addition to strictly confidential radio stations, Yang Fan has already laid out wired telegraph lines from Beitangkou and Dagukou, via Tianjin Acropolis to Beijing, Tongzhou, Sanhe County, Jizhou, and finally to Xincheng.
They are all laid with telephone poles along the roads funded by Yang Fan. They are also laid along the railway lines. They were all planned and built in advance during the road construction.
The railway station of Tianjin Port is built between Dagukou and Beitangkou. That is, on the wasteland between the Haihe River and the mouth of the North Canal.
Yang Fan rebuilt a large wharf here, mainly to distinguish it from the original Dagukou Wharf.
The new wharf and station are seamlessly connected. Goods coming off the sea ship can be transported on the train. Goods transported by the train can be boarded on the ship and transported to various ports along the Daming Coast and the Yangtze River.
The original merchants could either go to the old wharf or to the new port.
In this open space between two rivers, in addition to the Beitangkou Shipyard and industrial zone, freight yards and warehouses with cement-hardened floors have also been built, as well as a civilian industrial zone for foreign investment.
Along the coastal avenue of the harbor terminal, a business district composed of office buildings was built.
Many businessmen also came here to open warehouses and set up trading houses. In the past two years, thanks to Yang Fan's huge investment in infrastructure construction, this area has become the most prosperous area in Tianjin.
Yang Fan received the telegram last night and learned that Zhu Zhu and the others had completed their mission and had arrived at Beitangkou. They were planning to take a boat back to Xincheng, and they would probably arrive in the afternoon.
Yang Fan was having a picnic with his wives at this time.
He had been away for more than half a year, and the wives had given birth and he was not at home. This made him feel that he owed them a lot. Now that he was fine, he naturally had to make up for them. They all have the mentality of little girls and love to play.
Early this morning, Yang Fan took them to play in Panshan.
Panshan Scenic Area is right on the edge of Jizhou. It is very close to Xincheng.
The little girl and the others had set their alarm clocks early because they were afraid they wouldn't be able to get up. The family, together with their children, maids, housekeepers, and servants, formed a long motorcade and headed towards the winding mountain.
A few days ago, the Engineer Corps specially sent a battalion to repair the road along the way. They padded the pits and rutted ditches, sprinkled lime, sand, and clay. They used stone rollers to re-compact the potholes to make it easier to move around.
The horse-drawn carriage travels.
Ever since Yang Fan decided to go out for fun yesterday, Xiao Niangpi and the others were so excited that they couldn't sleep well all night. They packed their things in advance.
Yang Fan hasn't taken them out to play for a long time. Although Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru have given birth to a child, they are still very playful. Last time, they were in the grassland.
Yang Fan laughed at how young they were and almost raised them as daughters.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In fact, they are quite easy to coax. A set of building blocks, a set of puzzles, and some modern and simple toys can make them smile happily.
They especially like stuffed toys. They hold the rogue rabbit and the teddy bear without letting go.
Yang Fan gave them a set of toy trains and rails, which made them very happy. He laid the tracks on the floor at home, and then used the charged train to run on it.
There are photovoltaic panels at home, and electric toys can also be used. These things were originally prepared for a pair of children, but now they are used by the mother to play with. There are too few toys for children in this era, and they are too monotonous. They seem to be making up for their childhood.
fun of.
It was noon on the main peak of Panshan Mountain, and Yang Fan was preparing to have a picnic here.
In the morning, Yang Fan took his wives to catch small fish and shrimps in the creek.
These are water-related activities that Xiao Niangpi and Lin Yueru like. They roll up their trouser legs, exposing their white and tender calves and feet, and wade in the shallow stream. It is cool and comfortable.
Mei Xiang would occasionally exclaim, "The little fish is eating my feet."
When they catch small fish and shrimps in their nets, they chatter excitedly. Even if they turn over rocks and catch a crab, they will be happy for a long time.
They rode the sliders all the way up and didn't climb the mountain, so they weren't tired. They had enough energy to play. After all, the two ladies were still recuperating.
The scenery on the top of the mountain is very good. There is no industrial pollution in this era and the visibility is very high.
From the top of the main peak of Panshan Mountain, you can see the capital city in the distance. If you use a telescope, you can clearly see the towering gray city walls of the imperial capital and the buildings in the city.
There are pine trees, strange rocks, hot springs in the sea of clouds, and the scenery is pleasing to the eye.
Yang Fan was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, with a small folding table in front of him. He was using a kerosene stove and an iron plate to make donkey meat pot stickers for them. He also grilled some other ingredients.
Aunt Mei and her maids made a bonfire. On one side, they used iron skewers to lean on corn and sweet potatoes. They used a makeshift fire pit to cook rice and fried some wild vegetables picked by the ladies in the morning.
The donkey eggs are on the other side, processing seafood and meat. Thread the processed beef, mutton, and seafood into skewers so that Yang Fan can heat them with an iron plate.
Mo Zuo and his servants were on guard outside. A battalion of infantry was scattered on the main roads up the mountain. There was also a battalion of cavalry at the bottom of the mountain to protect the convoy.
Yang Fan felt very comfortable being blown by the gentle wind. He used tongs to put the fried donkey meat pot stickers on a small plate, and they were immediately snatched away by Xiao Niangpi, Lin Yueru, Mei Xiang and Chen Xi who were waiting eagerly.
They enjoyed it very much when the master cooked and cooked delicious food for them.
Xiao Niangpi wiped the oil stains on the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief and said coquettishly: "Master, why don't you go to Guihua City to take up the post before this year? Just stay at home. My sisters and I will serve you and make you comfortable.
.Don’t go to the northwest to eat sand.”
Yang Fan put down the spatula and tongs and said with a smile: "Listen to my wife, I won't go anywhere before the Spring Festival. I will stay with you at home. I am sick and need to recuperate at home. I will ask your Majesty for a long leave later."
