Chen Qiyu's performance is remarkable, and it also proves that he is not arrogant and has not been buried by the success in front of him. Mao Wenlong is very satisfied, such a talent can be of great use.

After entering Yexian County, the situation inside has changed slightly, the main street used to be built with stones, and the potholed carriage was very bumpy. In just two months, the streets and alleys of the city have been paved with cement.

Neat, spacious, and bright is Mao Wenlong's first impression. Chen Qiyu saw Mao Wenlong's satisfied expression, he was also very proud, but on the surface, he introduced implicitly: "Chief soldier, these are all according to your orders, and the current roads in Yexian County have been completely paved with cement. Now the whole Yexian County is no longer full of smoke and dust, and the environment and air have been greatly improved. ”

"Not bad, not bad!" Mao Wenlong said two good things in a row again, indicating that he was really satisfied.

Ye County is just a demonstration place, once there is no problem in the experiment, in the future within Mao Wenlong's territory, the cities will begin to improve one after another. This is a huge project, and it is also a long-lasting thing, but fortunately, Mao Wenlong is not in a hurry, and he can take his time.

Not long after, Chen Qiyu led Mao Wenlong back to the previous Mao Mansion, and the subordinates were already waiting at the gate. Seeing Mao Wenlong's arrival, they all stepped forward to salute, Mao Wenlong looked at these familiar faces, and said with a smile: "When I go back to Xi'an, you will all follow me." ”

These are the most trustworthy people, and Mao Wenlong doesn't want them to waste the rest of their lives here like this.

Mao Wenlong went straight into Mao's mansion, and those subordinates began to carry Mao Wenlong's accompanying salute into the mansion.

In the conference hall in the front yard, the furniture in it is still the same as before, and it has not changed at all, which shows that Chen Qiyu is still a very careful person, and even these small details are well managed.

After everyone sat down, Chen Qiyu immediately asked: "The chief soldier came this time, I don't know how many days I can stay?" ”

Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment and said: "It's not certain for the time being, you don't need to deliberately arrange anything, everything is as usual!" ”

Chen Qiyu nodded in agreement, and then returned to his seat and said no more.

Hong Chengchou was silent on the side, and he didn't even say a word from the moment he entered the city. When he greeted Chen Qiyu, he only nodded slightly.

When he saw that Mao Wenlong and Chen Qiyu were finished gossiping, he got up and said, "Chief soldier, I want to go to the back mountain to have a look first." ”

The old guy had been thinking about the academy all the time, and his mind was not here at all.

Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "Don't worry, seeing that it's almost noon, we might as well take a bath first, and then go together after lunch." ”

Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment, and then nodded helplessly.

After that, several people gossiped in the council hall for a long time before Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou went to bathe. After lunch, Hong Chengchou couldn't bear it anymore, and urged Mao Wenlong to go to the back mountain again.

This time, Mao Wenlong did not delay any longer, but simply agreed.

Haoda went to prepare the carriage, Chen Qiyu personally led the way for Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou, and the group rushed to the back mountain in the afternoon.

The whole journey was a concrete road, and the carriage almost didn't feel any bumps on it, not only comfortable but also much faster, and after a while, we arrived at the academy in the back mountain.

Hong Chengchou couldn't wait, and as soon as the carriage stopped, he was the first to jump out of the carriage. The students in the academy seemed to have received the news, and as soon as Hong Chengchou got off the carriage, he saw dozens of students waiting at the gate of the academy.

Looking at the vigorous and youthful smiling faces, Hong Chengchou, a tough old man, couldn't help moistening his eyes. After all the students shouted in unison, they supported Hong Chengchou and entered the academy first, and directly forgot about Mao Wenlong, the main master.

Mao Wenlong simply didn't get out of the carriage, and the scene would definitely be very embarrassing at this time. He didn't bother to make contact with these sour people, so he directly asked Chen Qiyu to lead the way and head towards the back of the academy.

Moments later, a modern cement academy towered halfway up the hill back.

It's not as lively as the previous academy here, and I saw Wang Datie and two old guys at the gate, and the three of them stood at the gate to greet Mao Wenlong.

Chen Qiyu immediately threw a reproachful look at Wang Datie when he saw such a scene, obviously, compared with the two, Wang Datie didn't even understand this rule, which really embarrassed Mao Wenlong.

However, Mao Wenlong didn't seem to blame Wang Datie at all, he stepped forward to look at Wang Datie with a smile. The old man was still in good spirits, but his waist bent a little, and nothing else had changed.

"Wang Datie, see the general soldiers!" A hoarse voice came out of Wang Datie's mouth.

"No excuses!"

Mao Wenlong didn't have a stand at all, and directly stepped forward to support Wang Datie's bent waist. Then he said, "This time I'm here to see how your firearms are doing?" I hope you won't let me down! ”

Wang Datie showed a hint of pride on his face: "Wang Datie lives up to the trust of the general army, and has already created some firearms that are okay, please go with me to watch." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, leave immediately." Mao Wenlong was immediately overjoyed.

Wang Datie didn't talk nonsense, and directly turned around and led Mao Wenlong towards the academy.

The college is very large, and now it is subdivided into many areas, each with its own research direction. Wang Datie is currently the dean of this academy, and at the same time, he personally supervises the construction of weapons.

At this moment, he took Mao Wenlong and walked straight to the open space opened up at the back of the academy, where there were already more than a dozen men standing. And beside them, there were many firearms.

There are more than 20 muskets and artillery pieces, and when he saw these things, Mao Wenlong couldn't wait to rush up to check them.

Arquebuses, tiger squat cannons have everything, and they are very beautiful, it can be seen that they should all belong to high-quality products, unlike the firearms currently equipped by the imperial army, not to mention rough, and the practicality is also very poor.

"I've tried all of these things, how effective are they?" Mao Wenlong casually picked up an arquebus nearly two meters long and asked Wang Datie behind him.

"Why don't you test it yourself?" Wang Datie had a smile on his face.

Chen Qiyu was immediately slightly startled, and shouted categorically: "Bold Wang Datie, you actually let the chief soldier personally use this damn musket!" ”

Chen Qiyu used to be the governor of the imperial court, and he had seen countless soldiers killed or injured because of the musket explosion.
