Chapter 801

Yan Liqiang went to the imperial capital alone this time. It has been less than half a year since he left home. The first thing to go home is naturally to greet his old father Yan Dechang.

Fortunately, Yan Dechang didn't sleep at this time. Yan Dechang was relieved to see Yan Liqiang come back. Then the father and son lit a lamp, drank tea and talked for an hour in Yan Dechang's bedroom.

Yan Dechang naturally told Yan Liqiang about the situation in Qiyun County in recent months.

Generally speaking, everything is normal in Qiyun county and Yan'an fort. The manufacturing Bureau, the first factory in the world and governor Qi Yun's guard house are orderly and have not had any trouble. This also reflects that the officials arranged by Yan Liqiang are still relatively reliable and effective. The only change is that they only have in these two months, Yan Liqiang asked Fang Beidou to bring craftsmen and their families from the imperial capital to Qiyun county one after another. There were more than 100000 people. There was a little trouble in resettling these people, but it was soon solved. Many of them were resettled in Yan family, Huanglong County, manufacturing Bureau and Pingxi city. Some people were directly resettled in an empty military camp, Many craftsmen and craftsmen who came to Qiyun county had some savings and savings, and few were empty handed. Therefore, when they came to Qiyun County, they began to buy houses and buy houses, and instigated their own expertise, which made Qiyun county very lively.

The only problem is that in recent days, due to the changes in the situation of Gulang grassland, the wool trade between Shatu Qibu and baishiguan has been greatly affected. The wool transported from Gulang grassland has suddenly decreased by 80%, the wool price has begun to rise, the supply has decreased significantly, and even the production of the first factory in the world has been affected.

Yan Liqiang also briefly told Yan Dechang about what he saw and heard in the imperial capital and what happened along the way. However, in order not to worry Yan Dechang, Yan Liqiang played down the dangerous experience and took it in one stroke, which gave Yan Dechang the feeling that Yan Liqiang was like traveling in the past few months.

"What, even the emperor and the crown prince died, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty didn't live much. Millions of people in the whole capital have become walking corpses who can eat people. Those gossip are true?" After hearing what Yan Liqiang said, Yan Dechang's face changed. His face was unbelievable. His tea drinking hands shook and spilled some tea on the table without realizing it. "How... How could this happen... In this way, isn't this great Han Empire... Isn't it over?"

Yan Liqiang shook his head. "The imperial court is over, but the Han Empire is not over yet. I just feel that it will be very chaotic in the future. It may not be as easy as before to calm down this time? The situation inside and outside the Han Empire is not optimistic... "

"Two days ago, I heard in Yan'an castle that Gulang grassland should not be occupied by black Capricorn people. Black Capricorn people are aggressive and ferocious. If they want to occupy Gulang grassland, they will invade the Han Empire. Qiyun county is the first one. Those people say that we can't protect Qiyun County..." Yan Dechang looked at Yan Liqiang with worry and frowned, The voice also lowered a lot, "can our family survive this crisis? If those black Capricorn people really want to invade Qiyun County, this manpower of Qiyun county is not enough to resist?"

Yan Liqiang smiled, "I just saw the assassin two days ago and made a bet with him!"

"What bet?"

"I will take back Gulang grassland within a year and insert the banner of governor Qi Yun's mansion all over Gulang grassland!"

"Ah, are black Capricorn people so easy to deal with, Li Qiang, you..." Yan Dechang looked at Yan Liqiang, tongue tied, and was completely speechless. If this hadn't been said from Yan Liqiang's mouth, Yan Dechang might have thought the person who could say this was crazy, but looking at Yan Liqiang's look, he didn't seem to be joking

Yan Liqiang gently took the teacup from Yan Dechang's hand, put it on the table, and calmly poured Yan Dechang another cup of tea. "Dad, don't worry about the Gulang grassland. In my eyes, those black Capricorn people are just fools who plug in the first part of the auction. They can never step through the Baishi pass. The so-called times change, many things they couldn't do before, It's easy to do it now. Dad, just see how I can get the Gulang grassland back. I have one thing here. I want to ask dad you! "

"What's up, Li Qiang?"

"I want to build a steel plant!"

"Steel works?" Yan Dechang was slightly stunned. If Yan Dechang didn't understand it before, he has now understood that this factory is the meaning of super large workshop. As the name suggests, iron and steel factory is a large workshop producing iron and steel. "Li Qiang, do you want to build a factory producing iron and steel?"

"Good!"

"Isn't there enough production in the manufacturing Bureau and yan'anbao workshop?"

"Of course it's not enough, but it's far from enough. Dad, look at how many sergeants in Qiyun county can wear armor. Except that the pot is iron, the kitchen knife is iron, the sickle and hoe are iron, the family also has several kinds of iron tools. These ordinary things can be kept. If the pot is broken, it needs to be repaired, and if the knife is broken, it needs to be repaired. Where is this iron enough!"

"Don't ordinary people live like this? It's good to find these four irons in the family. Speaking of armor, in the army, it's good if the colonel can wear a half body fish scale armor. The armor is worn by the general. There is no armor that ordinary sergeants can wear in the world. Better elite sergeants can wear leather armor, cloth armor and cardboard armor. Most Sergeants are just clothes, A piece of protective goggles can be handed down from the ancestors. It can save lives at critical moments. Where is the armor? " Yan Dechang shook his head. As a senior blacksmith, he certainly had a say in these things.

"If this iron and steel plant is done well, it will not be a problem for ordinary soldiers in Qiyun county to wear armor!"

Yan Dechang was stunned again. "Isn't the scale of the steel plant you said bigger than Pingxi City, and there are tens of thousands of craftsmen in it? Otherwise, where can you produce so much steel? And if the armor is produced, ordinary sergeants can't afford it. Even if you have two more manufacturing bureaus and the first factory in the world, you can use all the money to arm sergeants, I can't arm many people... "

Seeing Yan Dechang's traditional thinking, Yan Liqiang was not surprised. He just smiled. "Dad, you're talking about an ordinary iron smelting workshop. A workshop can't produce much steel in a year, tens of thousands of kilograms less and hundreds of thousands of kilograms more. The efficiency of this iron and steel plant I'm talking about is thousands of times that of naputong iron smelting workshop. The annual iron and steel output should at least exceed 100 million kilograms..."

"What, 100 million jin?" Yan Dechang was frightened by Yan Liqiang's words. After looking at Yan Liqiang, he even couldn't help reaching out and touching Yan Liqiang's forehead to see if Yan Liqiang had a fever, because the number Yan Liqiang said has completely exceeded Yan Dechang's imagination.

There are a lot of 100 million kilograms, that is, 50000 tons. In the past, it was just the output of a small Township iron and steel plant. In Yan Liqiang's head, not to mention 100 million kilograms, there are the planning and design drawings of a super iron and steel city with an annual output of more than 100 million tons, but the current productivity conditions are not available. This 100 million kilograms of production capacity, Yan Liqiang has made a relatively conservative decision considering the reality of Qiyun County, but even so, this figure frightened Yan Dechang, a blacksmith, and thought Yan Liqiang was talking nonsense.

"Dad, what I said is true, not nonsense. I was taught a special smelting method in my dream. With this method, I can build an iron and steel plant with an annual output of more than 100 million kg..." in order to make Yan Dechang believe, Yan Liqiang had to move out his "golden finger" again

Listening to Yan Liqiang's words, Yan Dechang's expression changed slightly, and his tone became serious. With a trace of curiosity, "is there really a way... To produce 100 million kilograms of steel a year?"

"Of course, can this be false? If this steel plant is built, it is the real first plant in the world. Tut Tut, who can build such a plant, it will be famous in history!" Yan Liqiang picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea.

"Just, Li Qiang... Look... Do you think I can do it? I can make iron and steel, and I can make iron, but I really don't understand what you said. I... will I screw it up..." Yan Dechang has some intention, but he is still a little lack of confidence.

"Don't worry, I'll tell you what to do step by step. What are you afraid of when I'm here, dad? With your skills and so many people to help you, it's absolutely no problem to recruit a bunch of craftsmen. Dad, you're still young and not old. When the factory is built, Dad, you'll be the factory director of the factory, in charge of an iron and steel factory with an annual output of 100 million kilograms and blacksmiths in the world, Who can compare with you... "

Yan Dechang was finally told by Yan Liqiang that his eyes lit up, his fists clenched tightly, and his ambition paused. "What do you say I'm going to do now?"

"Ha ha, from now on, Dad, you are the leader of the project team of Northwest iron and steel plant. Dad, you should have a good sleep tonight. Tomorrow, take some capable disciples to the manufacturing bureau first, and then recruit a group of capable craftsmen. I'll ask Uncle Qian to send you some capable managers to listen to you, and then..."

Yan Liqiang talked with Yan Dechang for half an hour about how the steel plant project started. After that, Yan Dechang was too excited to sleep. He went to find several of his disciples all night, and Yan Liqiang returned to his yard.

This iron and steel plant is of great significance to Yan Liqiang. Looking all over Qiyun County, Yan Liqiang found that he really couldn't find a more suitable person than Yan Dechang. Yan Dechang first understands technology and second is his father. He has a prestigious position in Qiyun county and has a green light everywhere. Yan Dechang is the project leader of this iron and steel plant, Best fit.

Sure enough, hearing this, Yan Dechang's whole person burst into great passion as if he had been ignited.

This man, no matter how old his grade is, still has to do something. He has to have dreams and pursuit to live an interesting life.

As soon as I returned to my yard, with the cry of "childe...", a charming figure rushed up at once, hugged Yan Liqiang tightly, buried his head in Yan Liqiang's chest, and tears wet Yan Liqiang's clothes in front of his chest

Not seen for several months, Yu Qing's figure has developed better. When holding Yan Liqiang tightly, Yan Liqiang can feel the obvious squeeze from his chest.

Yan Liqiang was stunned. Then he put his hand on Yu Qing's hair and touched it. "Silly girl, why are you crying? Haven't I come back?"

"I was scared to death when I heard the news from the imperial capital... I thought something had happened to the childe and wanted to find the childe. I was afraid that I would go out. If something happened to me... The childe would not see me when he came back..." Yu Qing cried loudly... "After you... Can you take me out... I can cook for you, Bring you tea and water... There are bad people coming. The childe has taught me my skills. I can beat them and never drag the childe down... "
