Silver Overlord - Chapter 822

[Chapter 790]

Yan Liqiang went to the imperial capital alone this time. He had been away from home for half a year, and the first thing he did when he got home was to greet his old father Yan Dechang.

Fortunately, Yan Dechang hadn’t slept at this time. Yan Dechang, who saw Yan Liqiang coming back, was relieved. Then the father and son were in Yan Dechang’s bedroom, lighting the lamp, drinking tea, and chatting for a long time. One hour.

Yan Dechang naturally told Yan Liqiang the situation in Qiyun County in the past few months.

In general, everything in Qiyun County and Yan’an Fort is normal. The Manufacturing Bureau, the No. 1 Factory in the World, and the Qiyun Governor’s House are all in good order, and there has been no trouble. This also reflects that the officials arranged by Yan Liqiang are still relatively Reliable and effective, the only change, that is, only in the past two months, Yan Liqiang let Fang Beidou bring craftsmen and their families from the imperial capital to arrive in Qiyun County one after another, with more than 100,000 people. There was a little mess at the time, but it was quickly resolved. The Yan family, Huanglong County, the Manufacturing Bureau, and Pingxi City all settled a lot, and some people directly found an vacant military camp to settle them. , and many craftsmen and craftsmen who came to Qiyun County have some savings and savings, and few are empty-handed, so they started buying houses and properties as soon as they came to Qiyun County, playing with their own specialties, making Qiyun County very lively. .

The only problem is that it has only occurred in the past few days. Because of the changes in the situation in the Gulang grassland, the wool trade between the seven tribes of Shatu and Baishiguan has been greatly affected, and the wool transported from the Gulang grassland suddenly 80% less, the price of wool began to rise, the supply was greatly reduced, and even the production of the first factory in the world was affected.

Yan Liqiang also briefly talked to Yan Dechang about what he had seen and heard in the imperial capital and some things that happened along the way back, but in order not to worry Yan Dechang, Yan Liqiang also downplayed the dangerous experience and took it in one stroke, giving Yan Dechang the feeling, In the past few months, Yan Liqiang was like traveling.

“What, even the emperor and the prince are dead, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty have not survived much. Millions of people in the entire Gyeonggi region have become walking corpses that can eat people. Are those gossips true?” Yan Dechang listened to it. After what Yan Liqiang said, the whole person’s face changed, with a look of disbelief, his hands shaking while drinking the tea, he spilled some tea on the table without realizing it, “Why… how could this be… …In this way, isn’t this Han Empire… is it not over?”

Yan Liqiang shook his head, “This court is over, but the Han Empire is not over yet, I just feel that the days ahead will be very chaotic. It may not be as easy as it used to be to calm

down The Heijie people are aggressive and vicious. If they want to occupy the Gulang grassland, they will definitely invade the Han Empire, and Qiyun County will be the first among them. Those people say that our Qiyun County may not be able to keep it…” Yan Dechang looked at Yan Liqiang worriedly, his brows tightened. Wrinkling tightly, his voice lowered a lot,

“Can our family… can survive this crisis? If those Heijie people really want to invade Qiyun County, Qiyun County’s troops are not enough to resist it?”

Yan Liqiang slightly With a smile, “I just saw Lord Inspector two days ago, and I made a bet with Lord Inspector!”

“What bet?”

“I will take back Gulang Prairie within a year, and take back Qiyun’s governor and protect the mansion. The flag, plant it all over the Gulang Prairie!”

“Ah, are the Heijie people so easy to deal with, Liqiang you…” Yan Dechang looked at Yan Liqiang, his mouth was stunned, and he was completely speechless. Speaking out of his mouth, Yan Dechang might think that the person who can say this is crazy, but looking at Yan Liqiang’s expression, it doesn’t seem like he is joking…

Yan Liqiang gently took over the teacup from Yan Dechang’s hand, put it on the table, and poured another cup of tea for Yan Dechang calmly, “Don’t worry about Gulang Prairie, Dad, those Heijie people are in my eyes. , they are just some idiots who sell their heads. They will never take a step through the White Rock Pass. The so-called time changes. Many things that were impossible to do before are now very easy to do. Dad, just do it. Let’s see how I get Gulang Grassland back, I have one thing here, I want to ask you, Dad!”

“What, Li Qiang, you said!”

“I want to build a steel factory!”

“Steel factory?” Yan Dechang was stunned for a moment. If Yan Dechang didn’t understand this so-called factory before, he now understands it. This factory means a super-large workshop. A steel mill, as the name suggests, is a large-scale steel production workshop. “Li Qiang, you Do you want to get a steel factory?”

“Yes!”

“Isn’t there enough production in the manufacturing bureau and Yan’anbao workshop?”

“Of course not enough, but far from enough, Dad, look at this sergeant from Qiyun County. There are a few people who can wear armor. In addition to the iron pots, kitchen knives, sickles and hoes, the family has a few iron utensils, and these ordinary things can all be preserved. Home, if the pot is broken, it needs to be repaired. If the knife is broken, it needs to be repaired. This steel is not enough!”

“Don’t ordinary people live like this, it would be good to find these four pieces of iron in the family. When it comes to armor, In the army, it is good that the captain can wear a set of half-length fish scale armor. The armor is worn by generals. There is no armor that ordinary sergeants can wear in this world. Better elite sergeants can wear leather armor, cloth armor, and cardboard armor. , most of the sergeants are just a piece of clothes, if the ancestors can hand down a heart guard, it can save lives at critical moments, how can there be armor?” Yan Dechang shook his head, as a senior blacksmith, of course he has a say in these things.

“If this steel plant is done well, it will not be a problem for ordinary sergeants in Qiyun County to wear armor!”

Yan Dechang was stunned again, “Then the scale of the iron and steel factory you mentioned is bigger than that of Pingxi City, and there are tens of thousands of craftsmen in it, otherwise, how can so much steel be produced, and this armor is produced. How can ordinary sergeants afford to wear them? Even if you have two more manufacturing bureaus and the No. 1 factory in the world, and you use all the money to arm sergeants, you won’t be able to arm sergeants…”

Seeing that Yan Dechang is still traditional Yan Liqiang was not surprised, he just smiled, “Dad, you are talking about an ordinary iron smelting workshop, and a workshop can’t produce much steel in a year. The steel plant I am talking about is a thousand times more efficient than that of an ordinary iron smelting workshop, and its annual steel output is at least 100 million catties…”

“What, 100 million catties?” Yan Dechang was shocked by Yan Liqiang’s words. , Looking at Yan Liqiang, he couldn’t help but reach out and touch Yan Liqiang’s forehead to see if Yan Liqiang had a fever, because the number Yan Liqiang said was completely beyond Yan Dechang’s imagination.

100 million catties is a lot, which is only 50,000 tons. If it was put in the past, this is just the output of a small township steel factory. In Yan Liqiang’s head, let alone 100 million catties, the annual output exceeds 100 million tons. There are plans and design drawings for the super city of steel, but the current productivity conditions are not available. The production capacity of 100 million kilograms is already a relatively conservative decision made by Yan Liqiang considering all aspects of Qiyun County. , But even so, this number still frightened Yan Dechang, a blacksmith, thinking that Yan Liqiang was talking nonsense.

“Father, what I said is true, not nonsense. In my dream, the goddess taught me a special smelting method. Using this method, I can build a steel factory with an annual output of over 100 million kilograms… “In order to convince Yan Dechang, Yan Liqiang had to move out his “gold finger” again…

Listening to Yan Liqiang’s words, Yan Dechang’s expression changed slightly, and his tone became serious, with a hint of curiosity, “Really… …the way to produce 100 million catties of steel a year?”

“Of course, how can this be fake? If this steel factory is built, it will be the real No. 1 factory in the world. Tsk tsk, whoever can build such a factory will be famous in history!” Yan Liqiang said while saying As he picked up the teacup, he took a sip of tea lightly.

“It’s just, Li Qiang… Look… I can do it, I can make iron and steel, and I can also make iron, but I really don’t understand what you’re talking about, I… will I… It’s broken…” Yan Dechang was already a little moved, but still a little lack of confidence.

“Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what to do, take it step by step, what are you afraid of when I’m here, Dad, with your ability, there are so many people to help you, and recruiting a bunch of craftsmen, it’s definitely not a problem, old man. Dad, you are still young, not old. When this factory is built, Dad, you will be the factory manager of this factory, and manage a steel factory with an annual output of 100 million kilograms. Who can compare to you as a blacksmith in this world …”

Yan Dechang finally got his eyes lighted by Yan Liqiang’s words, clenched the fists of both hands tightly, and his ambition stopped, “Then Liqiang, what do you say I’m going to do now?”

“Haha, from now on, Dad, you He is the leader of the project team of the Northwest Iron and Steel Plant. Dad, you have a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow, bring a few capable disciples to the Manufacturing Bureau, and then recruit a group of capable craftsmen. I will ask Uncle Qian to send you a few. A competent steward will listen to you, and then…”

Just to say how the project of this steel plant started, Yan Liqiang talked with Yan Dechang for half an hour. After speaking, Yan Dechang was so excited that he couldn’t sleep, and went to the Went to find some of his apprentices, and Yan Liqiang returned to his yard.

This steel plant is of great significance to Yan Liqiang, and after searching all over Qiyun County, Yan Liqiang found that he really could not find a person who was more suitable than Yan Dechang. Yan Dechang firstly understood technology, and secondly was his father, who had a family in Qiyun County. Prestige status, green light all the way to go, Yan Dechang came forward to do this, as the project leader of this steel plant, the most suitable.

Sure enough, as soon as UU reading www.sonicmtl.com heard this, Yan Dechang’s whole person burst out with great passion, as if being ignited.

This man, no matter how old he is, still has to do things, have dreams and pursuits, and live a meaningful life.

As soon as he returned to his yard, with the shouting of “Young Master…”, a charming figure rushed up, hugged Yan Liqiang tightly, buried his head on Yan Liqiang’s chest, tears suddenly made Yan Liqiang’s chest The clothes in front of me are wet…

I haven’t seen her for a few months. Yu Qing’s figure has grown better. When she hugs Yan Liqiang tightly, Yan Liqiang can already feel the obvious squeeze from her chest. .

Yan Liqiang was stunned, and then put his hand on Yu Qing’s hair and touched it, “Silly girl, why are you crying, am I back?”

“I heard the news from the imperial capital before… I was scared to death. Me, I thought something had happened to the son, and I wanted to find the son, but I was afraid that if I went out, if something happened to me… The son won’t see me when he comes back…” Yu Qing burst into tears…” Young Master, can you take me with you when you go out in the future… I can cook for you, bring you tea and water… There are bad people coming, Master taught me my skills, and I can beat them, never Dragging the son…”
