"Confession? What sin to confess? Zheng Peng pretended to be surprised and said: "The test went quite well, what's the crime?" ”

Zhuang Sanleng paused for a moment, and said with some surprise: "Smooth? But young master, isn't the bearing broken, this, this..."

Zheng Peng waved his hand, and said with a nonchalant face: "This is a test, not a run, if you can push the train smoothly, it will be considered a success, and it will only be a bearing problem, these are all trivial things, just change one, both of you get up, don't be urgent, now it's a success, there is no failure, and I will give you a reward for meritorious deeds in a while." ”

After a pause, Zheng Peng continued: "The bearing is broken, and the hardness and toughness are insufficient, you can refer to the materials used to build weapons, some materials are particularly tough. ”

Lu Ping hurriedly said: "The little one is ordered." ”

After appeasing the master and apprentice, Zheng Peng immediately reported the situation to Li Longji and Concubine Wu Hui.

Concubine Wu Hui said with some concern: "Champion Hou, are you okay?" ”

"Xie Niangniang cares, there was a little problem in the test, but it is all within a controllable range, and it is easy to solve, it can be said that this test is very successful, and I want Emperor Xie and Niangniang to come." Zheng Peng said gratefully.

Li Longji had some doubts in his eyes, and without him opening his mouth in person, Gao Lishi on the side preemptively asked: "Champion candidate, you say, this test went well?" ”

"It went well, I completed the test, found out the problem, and the effect was even better than expected."

Gao Lishi frowned and said: "It's really surprising that just boiling some water can push such a heavy train, but the speed is too slow, and it's not an exaggeration to describe it as turtle speed, and besides, isn't it a broken bearing, it's only half a mile away, isn't it... Not much of a role? ”

What can you do at this speed? It broke down so quickly, and the emperor and the mother witnessed it with their own eyes, and dared to say that it was smooth, is this opening their eyes and talking nonsense or swelling and fat?

Zheng Peng said confidently: "Gao Gonggong doesn't know, the steamer is still a new thing that has just come out, it is not denied, now its process and technology are not perfect enough, there are many things that need to be improved, I told the craftsmen, this time can move even if it is successful, now not only can move, but also walked half a mile, has exceeded my expectations." ”

"But this kind of speed, at most, is to entertain yourself, I'm afraid it's hard to use." Colliers said with some hesitation.

These words were asked for Li Longji and Concubine Wu Hui, and as soon as the words fell, Li Longji and Concubine Wu Hui both set their eyes on Zheng Peng.

This Changluo Road, with a huge investment, and Zheng Peng, who is rich in wealth, even took a huge debt for it, if it is just this level, it is like spending a lot of money to get a sky-high plaything for himself.

Zheng Peng had already thought of this problem, smiled when he heard this, pointed to the slave who was carrying the stones, and said: "Father-in-law Gao, this test is a test under extreme conditions, and it is reasonable that the effect is unsatisfactory, but in fact, the situation is not as bad as it is now. ”

Li Longji's heart moved, and he quickly said: "Zheng Aiqing just said that this is a test under the limit situation, so under the ideal situation, is the carriage no longer fully loaded, and the manpower and animal power that have been used before, I guess right?" ”

"The emperor is wise, and he is all right." Zheng Peng said respectfully.

"Very good, so what are you waiting for, do a second test as soon as possible, and ideally." Li Longji said anxiously.

Zheng Peng responded to the order, then called Lu Ping over and asked straight to the point: "How is the damage to the train?" ”

"If you go back to the young master, your luck is not bad, but one bearing is broken, and other damage is a trivial matter, just take one out of the warehouse and replace it." Lu Ping asked respectfully.

When Zheng Peng reported to Li Longji, Lu Ping had already checked the place where the problem had occurred, found out the problem, and instructed the slave workers to empty the large stones piled up in the back two carriages, so that it was convenient to replace the bearings.

"Very good, it was the limit state test just now, repair it as soon as possible, prepare for the ideal state test, the action is sharp, the emperor and the mother are still waiting to see."

Lu Ping's heart was shocked, like a chicken blood, he saluted Zheng Peng, without any orders, he immediately took his apprentices to the repair work, seeing that Lu Ping and they were very busy, Zheng Peng couldn't intervene, and invited Li Longji and Concubine Wu Hui to go to the Changluo headquarters to take a rest.

Li Longji waved his hand when he heard the words and said, "No need to sit, I'm tired of sitting these days, it's rare to get here, it's good to go around." ”

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, please come here." Zheng Peng hurriedly led the way in front.

Changluo Headquarters, nominally the headquarters, is actually a large workshop integrating R&D, production and processing, except for a lobby used for meetings, the rest are all sheds and dormitories, under Zheng Peng's planning, divided into three areas, one is a work area, one is a rest area, and one is an entertainment area.

As soon as he entered the lobby, Li Longji nodded secretly, and on the four walls of the lobby, there were either maps or design drawings, and at first glance it was the place of work, and the most conspicuous thing was the shape of a sand table in the center.

Li Longji looked at it and asked with interest: "Zheng Aiqing, this is the sand table of Changluo Road, it is very exquisite." ”

The sand table has mountains and rivers, there are roads and bridges, like bridge piers, the shape of mountains, and the guardrails on the side of the road are also marked, and the objects are also represented by different colors, which appear flexible and not rigid, giving people a lifelike and clear feeling, which obviously took a lot of thought.

"If you go back to the emperor, it is, but this sand table is made by a mason and a clay craftsman, so that you can see the overall situation in the command room."

Concubine Wu Hui was a little curious and pointed to the small flag inserted on the sand table and asked, "Champion Hou, what are these, it's quite interesting, there are words on it." ”

There are a lot of very delicate flags inserted on the sand table, which are very beautiful and green, and I can see it clearly, only to see that there are numbers on it, including No. 3 in Section A, No. 1 in Section C, etc., and I don't know what it means.

Zheng Peng explained: "Back to Niangniang's words, Changluo Road is too long, in order to facilitate management, the road is divided into ten sections, respectively, A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, REN, and Gui as representatives, each section is made a separate archive, because the road conditions are complicated, the road is complicated to mark, take Section C No. 1 as an example, the flag of Section C No. 1 is inserted on this bridge, the number of the bridge is Section C No. 1, find the case file of Section C No. 1 from the data cabinet, like design drawings, construction leader, completion date, What problems are found in the construction, what projects should be paid attention to, etc., are all recorded, if there is a problem with the bridge, you can find the relevant information at the first time. ”

"So that's the case, the champion candidate is really as careful as a hair, and this palace looks too mediocre compared with the champion candidate." Concubine Wu Hui sighed.

"Niangniang has a good reputation, as the saying goes, there are full-time workers in the art industry." Zheng Peng said with a serious face: "For example, the emperor and Niangniang are in charge of tens of thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty, not only manage them in an orderly manner, but also make the country strong and the people rich; Niangniang's job is to serve the emperor well and manage the harem, so that the emperor can handle national affairs with peace of mind; Weichen specializes in doing something that is beneficial to the Tang Dynasty and the people, in the final analysis, this is the ability, if the emperor lets Weichen manage so many people, not to mention a state, even a county is enough. ”

This high hat is worn at a high level, Li Longji is long-faced, pointed at Zheng Peng and said angrily: "Concubine Ai, Zheng Aiqing is still self-aware and self-aware, and likes to be the shopkeeper in everything, let's just say that in Yulinjun, he arrives late and leaves early, he is undisciplined, and he receives a note to impeach him every month, if it weren't for his achievements, he would have been unaccustomed to him." ”

Concubine Wu Hui said with a smile: "That is, the emperor's magnanimity, General Zheng has today's achievements, according to the concubines, it should be used to it." ”

"Habitual, habitual, I listen to my concubine." Li Longji was in a good mood, and he was indeed very doting on Concubine Wu Hui, and he expressed his stance when he heard the words.

Zheng Peng was a little disapproving, but he didn't dare to slack off on his face, and hurriedly saluted to express his gratitude: "Emperor Xie is tolerant, and Xie Niangniang is considerate." ”

In the officialdom, it is the word of profit, for the superiors, all emotions must be attached to interests, the so-called etiquette and shame are all paving the way for themselves, Li Longji can be the emperor, Concubine Wu Hui can command the harem, which will be the soft-hearted master?
