The next day, when Mu Linfeng got up, it was already noon, but Li Fangyi was no longer by her side. Mu Linfeng opened his eyes and looked at the top of the bed. After a long sigh, he found that he was sore all over. There was no advertisement
A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of Mu Linfeng's mouth. This feeling had been gone for a long time. Mu Linfeng lay down for a while before he turned up and put on his clothes.
As soon as Mu Linfeng put on his clothes, Li Fangyi brought the food into the room. When Li Fangyi saw Mu Linfeng, she just smiled slightly, but this smile was full of affection.
After Li Fangyi put the food down, Mu Linfeng hugged her from behind Li Fangyi, shook her body gently, and smiled, "Auntie, I miss Linfeng!"
Li Fangyi gently held Mu Linfeng's hand holding Qian's waist and said, "I'm not there Fangyi all the time?"
Mu Linfeng said: "Linfeng wants to see Fangyi every day!"
Li Fangyi smiled and said, "Then you can come to see Fangyi every day!"
Mu Linfeng turned Li Fangyi around and looked at Li Fangyi for a long time before saying, "Are Fangyi going to be here for the rest of her life?"
Li Fangyi's heart trembled when she heard this, Yes, is she really going to be this madam for the rest of her life? Isn't it what she dreamed of finding a good husband to marry?
Li Fangyi looked at Mu Linfeng's eyes and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "What is Fangyi's identity? What else can she do if she doesn't do this?"
Mu Linfeng hugged Li Fangyi tightly and said softly: "It's better for Fangyi to move into Mu's mansion and live with Linfeng!"
Li Fangyi's delicate body trembled when she heard this. This sentence was once what Li Fangyi wanted to hear from his beloved man the most. Now this sentence finally appeared. Although it was not the person who had let her down, it was also the one she loved deeply.
What people say.
Li Fangyi's heart churned at this moment. Isn't this what she had always hoped for? Now Mu Linfeng is willing to help him escape from the sea of suffering, but her heart is unexpectedly not as excited as she expected.
Li Fangyi knew clearly that Mu Linfeng was not the kind of person who was dedicated to feelings, and in this male hegemony society, how could there be any dedicated man? If she married into Mu's house and had a bad age, would Mu Linfeng dislike her?
.
After all, she is a few years older than Mu Linfeng, and now she can't tell, but women age faster than men. When she thinks of this, Li Fangyi's heart begins to hesitate.
Seeing that Li Fangyi did not answer and looked worried, Mu Linfeng hurriedly said, "Forget it, Linfeng doesn't force you to make a decision now. You can consider it. The gate of Mu's mansion will be opened for Fangyi at any time!"
After Mu Linfeng had a meal at Meixiang Building, he had a lingering relationship with Li Fangyi before leaving Meixiang Building.
When Mu Linfeng passed by Liu Rushi's door, he couldn't help but look at the room, and saw that it was empty, but he didn't know where Liu Rushi had gone.
Mu Linfeng suddenly thought of the agreement with Liu Rushi that as long as Chen Zilong went to Mu Mansion, Liu Rushi would definitely go. He was wondering whether he would trick Liu Rushi into Mu Mansion.
After leaving Meixiang Building, Mu Linfeng went directly to the government office. Wang Zhizhen agreed to him that the matter of the iron factory would be handled today.
When he arrived at the government office, the yamen told Mu Linfeng that Wang Zhizhen had already gone to the Dongjiao Iron Factory. Mu Linfeng immediately asked the yamen to prepare a horse and headed straight to the Dongjiao Iron Factory.
After arriving at the iron plant, Mu Linfeng suddenly felt his eyes lit up. Today's iron plant is completely different from yesterday. Not only has the weeds on the site been removed, but even the factory building feels completely refreshed.
Wang Zhizhen was telling the yamen servants what happened to him. Seeing Mu Linfeng coming, he immediately came up and said with a smile: "Mu Shuai, what do you think now?"
Mu Linfeng kept nodding and said, "Yes, it's a different story than yesterday!" Then he said, "But if there were no blacksmiths and workers, these would be useless!"
Wang Zhizhen smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, and pulled Mu Linfeng into the factory. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the factory, Mu Linfeng had already heard the sound of pinging in the factory and felt a trembling heart.
When I walked into the factory, Mu Linfeng was shocked. I saw a hundred people in the factory. Those people burned the stove, those who made irons, and those who made things... I was so busy that I was too busy to hand over.
Although these 100 people are still quite small, or even pitiful for this huge iron factory, Mu Linfeng is still very happy. After all, the good start is half the success.
Wang Zhizhen said on the side: "This iron plant was from the Wanli period. At that time, Zhang Juzheng implemented reforms and reforms. This iron plant was famous in the country at that time, and the iron production volume once became the first in the country. At that time, workers had
More than 10,000!" He sighed and said, "It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. After Zhang Juzheng's death, Emperor Wanli destroyed Zhang Juzheng's clan, and he also denied everything that Prime Minister Zhang reformed, and from then on the iron factory began to
Going downhill…”
After listening to Wang Zhizhen's words, Mu Linfeng realized that the iron factory's past was so glorious. He patted Wang Zhizhen's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, the iron factory will return to its previous prosperity!"
When Wang Zhizhen heard this, he looked at Mu Linfeng and saw that Mu Linfeng's eyes were full of confidence. Wang Zhizhen had always had a question in his heart. After he saw Mu Linfeng, he saw the confidence in Mu Linfeng's eyes, from the beginning to
It has never changed in the end, whether it is the confident look when Shi Kefa was surrendered, or the iron-fisted method when he was divided into households... it is vivid in my mind.
But Mu Linfeng did not notice Wang Zhizhen's expression, and quickly asked the Yamen to go to Mu's mansion to call Wu Xing. He thought Wu Xing would be particularly happy to see him.
But Wang Zhizhen said on the side: "Was Mr. Wu from Mu's house mentioned by Mu Shuai?"
Mu Linfeng said: "No, Lord Wang has seen it?"
Wang Zhizhen nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Wu has already arrived in the morning. In fact, these workers were all found by Mr. Wu!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Linfeng laughed and said, "So that's it!"
Wang Zhizhen said: "It seems that Mr. Wu cares more about this iron factory than Mu Shuai. He was busy here for a whole morning and went down the mountain at noon, saying that he wanted to find more workers!"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly, nodded, and suddenly thought of what Wu Xing said to him yesterday, and thought to himself: "It seems that Wu Xing has really liked this research."
After Mu Linfeng walked around the iron factory, he immediately rushed to the military camp. Shi Kefa was practicing in a row. When he saw Mu Linfeng coming, he asked Chen Dahan to hand over what he had at hand, and immediately rushed over.
Mu Linfeng entered the military tent.
As soon as Mu Linfeng sat down, Shi Kefa asked: "Shishuai Mu usually doesn't come to the military camp. Is there anything important today?"
Mu Linfeng laughed and said to Shi Kefa: "Does Mu have to be in trouble when he comes to the military camp?"
Shi Kefa repeatedly said: "That's definitely not what Shi means!"
Mu Linfeng saw Shi Kefa's serious look and hurriedly said, "Mr. Shi, is joking with you!" Then he said, "Mr. Shi really guessed it right. Mu is here this time, and he has something to discuss with Master.
!”
Seeing that Mu Linfeng was really in trouble, Shi Kefa hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not discuss it. What's wrong with Shuai Mu, just give me instructions!"
Mu Linfeng hurriedly said, "Mr. Shi is so polite, how can I speak?" Then he stood up and pulled Shi Kefa to sit down, and said, "I wonder if Master Shi still has the impression of the iron plant in the eastern suburbs of Yangzhou?"
”
Shi Kefa looked at Mu Linfeng, pondered for a moment, and said, "Oh, is Mu Shuai talking about the iron plant on the Dongjiao Iron Mine?"
Mu Linfeng nodded and said, "That's right, it's right!"
Shi Kefaqi said: "Didn't the iron plant go bankrupt a few years ago?" He turned to Mu Linfeng and said: "Oh? By the way, Mu Shuai said what is the relationship between this iron plant and the military camp?"
Mu Linfeng nodded and said, "Mu is preparing to start the iron plant again, but Master Shi also knows that Huaian is on the east side of Yangzhou. It is said that Wang Chengen and the princess have fled to Huaian. If we run the iron plant in the eastern suburbs
I am afraid that Huai'an will pose a threat to the iron plant!"
Shi Kefa nodded and said, "Yes, Yanghuai was in the Ming Dynasty in the past, and there was no threat to speak directly, but now the form is very different. Now Yangzhou is within the control of Mu Shuai, so this iron factory is exposed to the wilderness.
If you are in the middle, you will definitely be threatened... Could it be that Mu Shuai came to mobilize troops to guard?"
Mu Linfeng clapped his hands and said, "Yes, Lord Shi is indeed awesome! Mu wanted to use troops to defend around the iron factory to avoid causing disturbances to the iron factory in Huai'an."
Shi Kefa said: "Shi is also very clear about the environment of the iron plant. If you want to defend with all your power, you will need at least 8,000 people. After all, the iron mine is not a dangerous peak and a strange ridge. There are too many intersections up the mountain, so if you want to defend, you may have to
Arrange all around."
Mu Linfeng nodded and said, "No, but if so many soldiers were mobilized, I'm afraid that Huai'an wouldn't know about the Iron Factory, but now I know it!"
Shi Kefa nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and said, "Yes, what Mu Shuai said is not without reason. If you work hard, the whole city will know that there are many people and there are many people, so it is inevitable that you will leave the news and go to Huai'an."
Mu Linfeng knocked on the table and said, "I wish I could solve this problem completely!"
Shi Kefa looked at Mu Linfeng, pondered for a while, then clapped his hands and said, "If it is to be completely solved, unless..."
Mu Linfeng and Shi Kefa said at the same time: "Total capture Huai'an!"
Then Mu Linfeng and Shi Kefa laughed, and Mu Linfeng said, "It's true that heroes see each other!"
Shi Kefa smiled and said, "So Mu Shuai had thought of this a long time ago?"
Mu Linfeng nodded and said, "Since the capture of Yangzhou and the acquisition of 50,000 surrendered troops, Mu has been considering this issue. The power of muskets is so powerful that they must be produced in large quantities. Once they are put into production, the demand for iron will definitely be
Increasing, it is inevitable to build a stable iron plant. In Huaian, Mu Linfeng had already set Huaian as his established goal before he attacked Yangzhou. Not only Huaian, Fengyang and Luzhou are the same, but only around Yangzhou.
The cities are all ours, and the threat from Yangzhou is completely lifted!”
Shi Kefa smiled and said, "It turns out that Mu Shuai is a military talent. Then Shi's defeat under Mu Shuai is not all a problem of muskets. Even if there are no muskets, I believe that Shi's defeat is only a matter of time!"
Mu Linfeng hurriedly bowed and said, "Mr. Shi is so humble!"
Shi Kefa shook his head repeatedly and said, "Mu said all the truth..."
Mu Linfeng hurriedly said, "Forget it, you and I don't have to be so humble. Let's talk about this iron factory!"
Shi Kefa said: "This iron plant has just begun, and the scale is definitely not big, so Shi believes that we should not make big moves first, at least send a few hundred people to guard it. As the iron plant grows, the number of defenders will gradually increase.
.”
Mu Linfeng clapped his hands and said, "It's good to do this, just listen to Lord Shi! Then, please select these hundreds of people, Master Shi, and what if you send them to the iron factory today!"
Shi Kefa immediately said: "There is no problem with this!"
After Mu Linfeng and Lord Shi finalized the matters about the iron plant, they asked Shi Kefa about some cavalry training related to Shi Kefa before leaving the military camp.
After leaving the military camp, Mu Linfeng went back to Mu Mansion and thought to himself: "Everything has begun to slowly get on track. Now the most worrying thing is Huai'an. I have heard that Huai'an is going to send troops, but I don't know
Why haven't there been any movement for a long time?”
After Mu Linfeng returned to Mu Mansion, the servant told Wu Xing that he was there. Mu Linfeng immediately called Wu Xing to the study. After Wu Xing arrived, he handed Mu Linfeng a stack of straw paper to see. Mu Linfeng came to see it, and they all came to see it.
Some measures after the construction of some iron plants and the problems of scene construction.
Mu Linfeng looked at these and suddenly thought of a problematic fund. Such a huge project must require a huge amount of funds to support it. So how can this money come about?
Mu Linfeng thought of this, when Long Qingyun went to Jinling, Mu Linfeng had asked him and Long Qingfeng to ask for military pay, but he didn't know how Long Qingyun did it. Thinking of this, Mu Linfeng immediately asked Wu Xing: "Do you know Long
Where is the second brother?"
Wu Xing said: "Oh, after Master Long came back yesterday, I didn't know where to go!"
Mu Linfeng felt a stern when he heard this and said, "I asked my second brother to lead his personal team. Could it be that he was not convinced and left in anger?" Then he asked Wu Xing and said, "Didn't you say anything before leaving?"
Wu Xing shook his head and said, "No, but Brother Mu don't worry, I saw that the second master did not receive the package, and I guess he is still in Yangzhou City!"
Mu Linfeng nodded after hearing this and said, "Well, since the second brother doesn't like Lord Shi, he must be unable to accept it for the time being. Give him some time!" Then he asked Wu Xing, "How much money does our mansion have?
”
Wu Xing was stunned at first, then pondered for a while, and said, "Mr. Wu didn't know that the money he brought down on Liangshan was almost used, and the rickshaw shop had not started yet, the Long Qingfeng rebellion occurred.
The money paid by those rickshaw drivers was only more than a thousand taels, which was just enough to deal with the expenses of the mansion!”
Mu Linfeng sighed and nodded and said, "Well... Oh, by the way, organize manpower as soon as possible and prepare to mass produce rickshaws. It will also be popularized in Yangzhou. This is also a way to make money, but don't let yourself do this time.
Brothers go and don't rent it to the sedan chair owner in scattered ways. We just need to do production, and then find a big Yangzhou merchant and contract the rickshaw directly to him and let them take responsibility. As soon as we save trouble, we can free up more time.
Doing other things, secondly, making money faster, our future iron plant will be a big expense!”
Wu Xing nodded and said, "However, relying on those retail investors to piece together, I don't know when I can make a full profit. It is better to contract it directly to the big investors and ask them to give a certain contract fee at one time, and then charge some more every month in the future.
The commission will not be delayed!" Then he said, "I will let those guys start to start this plan later. Anyway, it will be difficult to build an iron plant in a short while!"
Mu Linfeng nodded and said, "Well! Let's make such a decision for the time being!" Then he asked, "By the way, Wang Zhizhen said you have visited the iron factory, and you also found those workers?"
Wu Xing nodded and said, "Well, I'm very convinced that group of people, and I have each blessed with some deposit before they are willing to go. But that's fine. I believe there will be more people in the future, and there will be a village.
There are dozens of idle households, and I am still in the process of negotiating!”
Mu Linfeng smiled and said, "In this way, I will leave the matter of the iron factory to you and Lord Wang to be fully responsible!"
A few days later, Wu Xing and Wang Zhizhen urged the construction of the iron plant. On the one hand, they also wanted to urge the production of rickshaws. Mu Linfeng originally wanted to help Wu Xing supervise and let Wu Xing concentrate on the iron plant.
However, Wu Xingdao: "The rickshaw was produced in Jinling once before, and there will be no problem this time. As long as the parts are produced well, the rest will be assembled. Those brothers have learned assembly with Wu, and the iron factory has just been
There is nothing to be busy at the beginning, so it is absolutely no problem to take into account both ends. Brother Mu just rest assured."
Mu Linfeng could not do so, so he had to give full power to Wu Xing. Anyway, he didn't know much about these production and assembly streams. If he really wanted him to go, it might not be able to play any role. However, Wu Xing's workload would inevitably increase.
Linfeng began to consider whether to find some smart top-ranked Wu Xing, and in the future, each of them would be responsible for reducing Wu Xing's workload. These people could only be found among the brothers on Liangshan who followed him down the mountain in the future.
In just a few dozen days, hundreds of rickshaws were successfully released, but Mu Linfeng felt that it was not enough, at least two thousand were needed, because this time, not only in Yangzhou, but also in counties, governments and towns around Yangzhou, rickshaws were required.
Replace the sedan chair.
After hearing Mu Linfeng say this, Wu Xing had to agree: "Okay, Wu can try it, but only a thousand vehicles are not a small number after all. I believe that it will definitely not be able to produce them in a short while. Wu can only do his best!"
Mu Linfeng nodded, patted Wu Xing's shoulder and said, "This will make you cry, Brother Wu. I think Brother Wu will still give all these miscellaneous things to my subordinates. Brother Wu, I know your abilities, but
You can't do everything yourself. If a machine is used for a long time, it will still be a problem, let alone a human being!"
Wu Xing nodded and smiled, "Yes, yes, aren't everything just starting? After the stability in the future, Wu will definitely not think about what he is now!"
Mu Linfeng patted Wu Xing's shoulder and said, "That's good, Mu is really thanks to your Brother Wu!"
Although Wu Xing was busy, fortunately everything was going well, so Mu Linfeng was relieved. Anyway, Mu Linfeng couldn't help in this regard.
In addition, Chen Zilong's distribution of land to households has also made great progress. When Chen Zilong took the time to come back, he immediately asked Mu Linfenghui to report: "Everything is progressing well. A few arrogant families can only use force and force execution. These days,
There are dozens of people in towns who have their own land, and firecrackers are constantly coming from every village, gongs and drums are shaking the sky, and everyone shouts: "Long live the wind!"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said, "This is a misunderstanding for the people. Brother Zilong, you have worked hard, but you will be slower for the rest of your life. Do you need a rest, Brother Zilong?" Mu Linfeng was actually worried that Chen Zilong would have
Time to see Liu Rushi, so I pretended to be concerned, but in fact I took retreat to advance.
Chen Zilong smiled and said, "No, no, Mr. Mu, you don't know that in the past, Chen was bored. Chen was an official, not just for the salary, but really wanted to do something practical.
The days are suitable for Chen, and Chen really thinks that the busier the better!"
When Mu Linfeng heard Chen Zilong say this, he asked tentatively: "Then you should spend more time with Miss Liu!"
Chen Zilong said, "Rushi knows who Chen is, so I believe Rushi will understand me. Let's talk about it when the work in Yangzhou is finished. Chen will go to another county government in a while, and the people from this county government are in a relative way.
He is quite arrogant. Chen came here this time and asked Mr. Mu for troops!"
Mu Linfeng was reluctant to let Chen Zilong do this, pretending to sigh, "This will bring you a blessing to Brother Zilong. I believe that in the future, the people of Yangzhou will not forget Brother Zilong's contribution to Yangzhou, and Brother Zilong will also be recorded in history!"
He wrote a letter to Shi Kefa, asking Shi Kefa to allocate two thousand troops to Chen Zilong.
The military camps of Shi Kefa and Chen Dahan are quite stable, the cavalry training is also outstanding, and the dispatch of the musket team is also suitable. If you retreat, hurry up and train.
In the past few days, Mu Linfeng occasionally went to Meixianglou several times, lingering with Li Fangyi, and then looked at Liu Rushi. Mu Linfeng thought to himself: "After finishing the work, I really have to find a way to deal with Liu Rushi.
That's it!"
