After thinking about this possibility, Huo Guang looked at Sang Jin with a different look. This is a humanoid mold that can be shaped into any shape. Thinking about it this way, he got a little excited.
Looking at Huo Guang's slightly evil eyes, Sang Jin was a little scared and nervous. What on earth was he thinking and what did he want to do.
Hey hey, hey hey hey.
Huo Guang laughed involuntarily.
"A... A Guang, are you... okay?"
Huo Guang came back to his senses: "It's okay, it's okay." But he couldn't stop the smile on his lips.
"Why do you think your smile is a bit evil?"
"Really? I am a pure and kind person, how could I be bad?" Huo Guang sorted out his expression and mood.
The cold blood of capitalism in his body was boiling, and he had to quickly put the development of steam engines on the agenda when he returned this time.
Ready-made national highways, a large amount of steel, and a small number of integrated mold makers, aren't these gifts from God?
In Huo Guang's opinion, the iron blocks filled with pits and valleys are treasures. Nowadays, these people don't know how to use them. The blacksmiths can't use them so much, and the scholars have practiced more than they can use.
Under normal circumstances, scholars would only use it for practice and would not bother making swords or anything like that.
Those who can become scholars are the best among people and can directly become officials. Which official can value this little money for blacksmithing?
There is an old saying that there are four great whites in the world, Tianshan snow, frost on the ground, beautiful women’s butts... Bah, bah, bah, there is an old saying that there are three major hardships in the world. Forging a boat is grinding tofu, how can a man who is one in ten thousand go to forge? This is also the reason
The reason why scrap iron piles up like mountains.
With this idea, Huo Guang suddenly felt that the road ahead was suddenly clear, and he had a direction for his efforts.
If we develop steam engines, trains, and firearms, Huo Qubing will be able to attack the Huns with a blunderbuss in the future. It will not be easy to capture them. Let alone the Huns, this earth has been our country's since ancient times since the Han Dynasty.
land.
They embarked on the return journey happily. Ganfu didn't know what happened, so he looked at Huo Guang's unstoppable smile and asked Sang Jin in a low voice: "Ajin, this kid didn't do anything to you, right?"
Sang Jin blushed: "Master, what are you thinking about?"
"Then why is this kid smiling all the time? This smile seems wrong to me no matter what. It's three parts proud and seven parts proud. It's a bit familiar."
"Master, this has been the case since he learned how to smelt iron."
Gan Fu looked at Huo Guang in confusion: "Is there really something wrong with this kid's brain?"
"Master, I think he is very passionate about being a stylist, and he is also smart. Why don't you teach him, but guide him intentionally or unintentionally?"
Ganfu touched his beard: "Aguang is indeed smarter than ordinary people. He may seem impetuous in his work, but he is actually very calm. I intend to teach him, but I have to test his character. If he is a criminal, I will teach him
On the contrary, he is a disaster."
Looking at Huo Guang's back, Gan Fu sighed: "If he is as talented as his brother and has the heart to serve the country, that is really rare. Or if he is like his father, Huo Shaofu, who is honest, upright, and upright, he is also a good person."
Excellent choice.”
Sang Jin also sighed: "If Huo Shaofu generally has too high requirements for him, there are not many people like Huo Shaofu in the world. Even if he knows how to raise his own son, it will be difficult for him to do so."
"Sneeze." Mr. Huo, who was taking a bath, sneezed.
Widow Wang stopped massaging him and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Maybe someone scolded me, keep pressing it and don't stop."
After several days of long journey, the three of them finally returned to Xiahe County. When they arrived home, it was already evening. There was a curfew in the city and ordinary people could not enter the city. The three of them entered the city after being notified due to their special status.
Huo Guang reluctantly looked at the steel horse that was taken away by Gan Fu. He hadn't studied this thoroughly yet, but he had no choice but to go home alone.
I arrived home late at night only to find that I didn't have the key to my new home, so I had to knock on the door.
After knocking for a while, the soldiers on night patrol discovered him immediately. Fortunately, the people in the county captain's house knew Aguang, otherwise he would have been thrown into jail.
This made Huo Guang sigh that it was indeed the house that Huo Zhongru had spent a lot of money to buy. The neighbor was the county magistrate and the county magistrate. The public security was indeed the best in the county.
The door of Huo Mansion slowly opened, Qiuxiang slowly poked her head out, and said timidly: "Young Master?!"
"Open the door quickly, I don't even recognize my master's voice."
"I'm sorry, sir, I slept deeply at night."
"It seems that we will have to find a night watcher in the future. Our family is now bigger, so we have to pay attention to safety." Huo Guang feels that the security loopholes in Huo Mansion are too big now. Although the street is very safe, we still have to be careful.
People with evil intentions.
Huo Guang scratched his head in distress: "Hey, it seems we have to spend money to recruit people."
Huo Guang finally understood that it was very expensive for a house to maintain a decent staff and maintain dignity.
There were more than a dozen serving maids, gatekeepers, cooks, grooms, and housekeepers, both inside and outside, and this was when the owner only had them, his father and his son.
There are many people in a large family, and there may be old ladies and gentlemen above the head of the family, and young gentlemen below. Dozens of people have to wait on them when they come and go, otherwise the young gentlemen will lose face if they go out without servants for them to drive.
"You, come in with me."
Before returning to the room, Huo Guang asked Qiuxiang to go in with him. Qiuxiang was stunned. It was obvious what he was doing in the dark.
"Why are you standing there, come in quickly."
Qiuxiang followed in.
King Huo Guang lay down on the bed and asked, "Has anything happened these days?"
"No...nothing happened."
"I forgot to tell you before. Help me keep an eye on Aunt Wang when I'm at home."
"ah?"
"Just keep an eye on it. There's no need to go out of your way to check anything. But if you see Aunt Wang using the money and valuables in the house casually, remember to report it to me."
"Sir, do you want me to monitor her?"
"It's not about surveillance, just keep an eye on it. My father is too trusting and has given her all the financial power of the family. Although a little money is nothing, I wish my father was happy, but
I don’t want our father and son to be taken advantage of." Huo Guang expressed his worries.
You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Although Widow Wang and Huo Zhongru have been in a relationship for many years, A Guang's impression is that she is a relatively mean woman.
It's always good to pay attention.
"By the way, get me a kettle to boil water."
"ah?"
"Ah, what? Don't look confused every time I say something. Even if you don't understand, just do what I say."
Qiuxiang quickly left to get a kettle, which was made of pottery.
"Is there an iron kettle?"
"Sir, my master asked us to throw away all the iron kettles before because they couldn't put them on the countertop. These are all newly purchased high-end goods."
I took a look around with the pottery kettle, and I couldn't test the pottery kettle. Moreover, the pottery seemed to be of high quality, and the painting was also high-end. There were not many pottery products of this quality in the Han Dynasty, and the price was not low.
"Where did dad get the money to buy these things?" Huo Guang asked in confusion as he saw that the house had been replaced with such almost luxuries from top to bottom.
"Sang...the head of the Sang family borrowed it."
In other words, there is no doubt that he has paid back all the money himself. He does not earn much money now, because Huo Zhongru owes a lot of foreign debt due to his high consumption.
