Chapter 106 The largest place in Wannian County

When Li Daozhen saw Chen Jinyong, a Hu man, her mood suddenly became inexplicably relieved. As Yu Guni's strength became stronger and stronger, among the three forces in Lingzhou, Yu Guni was dominant, above the imperial court and Li Daozhen.

Now Yu Guni still maintains a sense of respect and awe for Chen Ying, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be born with any different hearts. However, at this time, Chen Jinyong came, and Li Daozhen was no longer alone.

Don't look at Li Daozhen's infinite wind on the surface, but she knows it sadly in her heart. No matter which woman she is, she wants to be pampered, loved, and cared for, unless she has to, she picks up all the burdens.

The gold ingots shone brightly under the light of the candlelight, looking at the sharp golden light, Li Daozhen's face became gloomy little by little: "What does he mean, what are these gold?" Is it compensated? ”

"I hope for it, it's not for human ministers!" Chen Jinyong shook his head and said: "The lord has his own considerations, and I dare not guess that these gold are placed in Lingzhou and used as the principal of the bank." ”

"Didn't you give it to me??" Li Daozhen smiled dumbly and said, "It's me who thinks too much!" ”

Chen Jinyong asked rhetorically: "Even if you give it to the county lord, will the county lord want it?" ”

"My brother settles the accounts, that's too raw!" Li Daozhen sneered and said: "If he gives me these three thousand taels of gold and tries in vain to take away my child, it will be too light for me Li Daozhen!" ”

Soon Li Daozhen adjusted her mentality, she reached out and stroked her bulging lower abdomen, and said solemnly: "The child is mine, and no one can take it away!" ”

Li Daozhen didn't dare to ask for too much, and the child born in the future will be the whole of her life. This child is hers, and no one wants to take it away from Li Daozhen, even if this person is the biological father of the child.

Chen Jinyong picked up the tea bowl on the desk, and drank it all in one go, regardless of whether it was hot or not.

Li Daozhen looked at Chen Jinyong vigilantly, and slowly frowned: "What are you doing?" It won't just be for this letter, will it? Chen Lang needs people around him, and anyone can do this! ”

"Bravely follow the orders of the Lord to protect the safety of the young monarch!" Chen Jinyong got up and put his cloak back on. A tired face.

Li Daozhen said: "Xiao Tao, go and arrange for Manager Chen to rest!" ”

Chen Jinyong said lightly: "No need, I still have to go to Wild Boar Ridge!" ”

"Now?" Li Daozhen listened to the sound of the cold wind whistling outside the window: "What are you doing in Wild Boar Ridge?" ”

Chen Jinyong said: "Go and get back what belongs to the Lord!" ”

Li Daozhen naturally understood what Chen Jinyong was referring to, that is, the original Lingwu left and right guards, since Chen Ying was transferred back to Lingzhou, the imperial court dismantled part of the Lingwu Left Army and the Lingwu Right Army, and supplied them to the left and right guards in the name of Changshui Hu Cai, but there are still more than 4,000 Lingwu Right Guards in the hands of Ashina Simo.

……

There has been no movement for a long time, and the fat on Yu Guni's waist has grown, and the person has also gained a full circle. At this time, in Ruoda's royal tent, several Qiang women wore revealing small clothes and danced with the sound of silk and bamboo.

"Three stone branch pots."

"Drink the spring water as milk tea."

"I don't love the big house girl in the hall,"

"I would like to live in a rock nest with my brother."

The Qiang themselves have no cultural traditions, and their songs are almost straightforward. Of course, the heaviest thing is that these Qiang girls puff up their chests and don't care about the wolf-like green light under Yu Guni.

One of the Qiang girls was particularly bold, and almost shoved her body into Yu Guni's arms.

As the saying goes, looking at a beauty under the lamp is ten times better than usual, at this time the candle flame is flickering, and the soft light shines on the face of the Qiang girl, the healthy chestnut skin, the smile is full of braided teeth, and the delicate red lips are as attractive as jelly, and after intense exercise, she gasped for breath, and a pair of lovely jade rabbits jumped on her chest, which made Yu Guni dazzled for a while.

"You, you, you, stay, everyone else is gone!" Yu Guni buried his head in the chest of a Qiang tribe, and the feeling of being about to suffocate made Yu Guni addicted again and again.

Just when Yu Guni was about to take a further action, he suddenly found an uninvited guest in the tent. Yu Guni suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and when he saw that the black shadow did not move, he lowered his voice and asked, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

"Yu Guni, look at you like this, you can't put down the saddle on your hips, right? It seems that it will be difficult to find a horse that can carry you, so you can ride a mule in the future! ”

Listening to the words of the black shadow, Yu Guni heard that it was Chen Jinyong's voice, he pushed away the Qiang girl in his arms, and shouted: "Presumptuous, you dare to talk to General Ben like this!" ”

Chen Jinyong came out of the dark shadows to the light of the candle flame, and said expressionlessly: "I'll take back the things from the Lord, do you know how to do it?" ”

"What...... What the? ”

Yu Guni looked at Chen Jinyong with a shocked expression.

Power is a deadly poison, but just like drugs, once enjoying the taste of power, people can't stop it.

"Sensei is pretending to be confused here!" Chen Jinyong shouted coldly: "In a word, to give or not to give?" ”

At this time, Yu Guni was the uncrowned king of Lingzhou. With the life and death of tens of thousands of people in your hands, this kind of power feels very amazing. Yu Guni was also very infatuated with this feeling, but this moment also made him sober up, this power was given by Chen Ying, and Chen Ying could naturally take it back at any time.

Although Chen Jinyong has good skills, Yu Guni has 10,000 ways to make Chen Jinyong die silently.

However, in the end, Yu Guni sighed, took a bronze medal made of gilt from his waist, and threw it to Chen Jinyong.

Chen Jinyong took the bronze medal, looked at it, confirmed that it was the letter of the Lingwu Lingjun, and left satisfied.

However, just as Chen Jinyong walked out of the tent, after a while, the sound of horses' hooves came from far away.

Yu Guni suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, fortunately he reacted quickly and did not do anything irreparable stupid, it was obvious that Chen Jinyong didn't believe him, he contacted Ashina Simo first, and then found him. Suddenly, there was a familiar smell in the big tent, which was actually fire oil. Chen Ying once used distillation to obtain a kind of fire oil as clear as water, which burned very quickly, and if it was placed in a sealed container, it would explode.

At this moment, Yu Guni's face changed greatly, and he ran barefoot outside the tent in the direction where Chen Jinyong disappeared, jumped up and scolded: "Thief, your mother!" ”

……

The title deed of five miles under the jurisdiction of Yuhe Township, which is located in the east of Chang'an, has been in the hands of Chen Ying. Chen Ying was also a landlord with 10,000 acres of land at this time. However, all the land in Qinglinli and Laohuaili is directly held by Chen, and the land in Shangyuli, Xiayuli and Yuheli is all attached to Chen Ying's name.

Chen Ying looked at the contract signed in front of him and said with a smile: "This is the wisest thing in your life, even if you have a landlord with thousands of acres of fertile land in the future, it will not be as good as your life." ”

On the 26th day of the second year of Wude, according to the operation process formulated by Chen Ying, the iron and steel plant in Yuhe Township, Wannian County, finally completed all the preparatory work after more than ten simulation drills.

The blast furnace located on the banks of the Jieyu River has been baked at low temperature for eight days, and after careful inspection, there is not a single suspicious crack; Pulleys, flywheels, bearings of waterwheels, pulleys, piston bellows and other movable parts, in the back of the worker's simulation drill four times, try to idle, each time the situation is very good, now full of oil, the operation is not a little blocked.

"Grandfather blesses, smelt stone into iron, struck iron into steel......" Ge Tong, Wei Meng, Yan Shihu and other masters twisted three incense sticks with both hands, lit them on the candle, raised them above their heads reverently, bowed three times, and then inserted them into the incense burner in front of the statue of Taishang Laojun.

This opening and ignition ceremony was unusual, because in addition to Chen Ying's participation, even Li Jiancheng, the prince of the East Palace, also arrived here. Looking at Li Jiancheng devoutly inserting the three pillars of incense into the incense burner like a craftsman, the craftsmen were extremely excited.

With the sound of crackling firecrackers, Chen Yingmian made it difficult for him to preside over the start of the first blast furnace of Chang'an Yuhe Iron and Steel Plant. The firecrackers of this era are just sections of bamboo, stuffed with some saltpeter, thrown in the brazier and burned, to make a sound, but this movement is only a little bigger than a fart.

Chen Ying shouted in a deep voice: "Bounce the wind! ”

The hinge, which was pulled by five oxen, began to rotate slowly. Driven by the rotating shaft and gear set, the rotary motion becomes the reciprocating motion of the bellows piston, accompanied by the rattling of the wood, and fresh air is blown into the blast furnace from the air duct.

The starting axle rotates slowly. The ground air pressure of the blower is small. The oxygen supply in the furnace is insufficient. Thick black smoke rose from the top of the furnace. As the speed of the hinge turns faster and faster. The oxygen supply in the furnace is sufficient. When the smoke comes out, it turns from black to blue. From green to white. The color is getting lighter and lighter. At last. A large stream of flames rose happily from the top of the furnace.

Li Jiancheng asked nervously: "Chen Qing, can this furnace really produce 10,000 catties of iron?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has to correct you, this furnace produces not iron, but steel!" Chen Ying poured a cup of tea for Li Jiancheng: "His Royal Highness the Prince, calm down, calm down, this furnace of steel will not come out until this time tomorrow!" ”

If you want to make Li Jiancheng calm, it is obviously unlikely.

This blast furnace steelmaking is really beyond the limit of Li Jiancheng's cognition. Originally, when he heard the secret letter sent back by Pei Ju in Lingzhou, Li Jiancheng couldn't believe it, and when Pei Ju's second secret letter came, Li Jiancheng couldn't sit still anymore. He even came forward and used the influence of the prince of the East Palace to let Wei Ting come forward to lobby Jingzhao Wei and Jingzhao Du to sell the land near the Jieyu line in their hands to Chen Ying, and in this way, Chen Ying actually controlled all the land in Wuli, not counting inferior fields, only Shangtian exceeded 10,000 mu, amounting to 10,000 and 360 mu, 16,550 mu of forest land, more than 27,000 mu of wasteland and land without any planting value and inferior land, and Chen Ying's actual control of more than 50,000 mu of land.

If you don't count the number of fertile land, just in terms of unit area, Chen Ying is already the largest landlord in Wannian County at this time.
