Chapter 390: Green Bamboo Mountain
Chen Chen immediately told her to stop and let her go with Hu Lan. She would live with Yulin Ge'er in Cuiping Mountain and she also wanted to give birth to a good girl.
This made Hu Lan's chest rise and fall, and it was turbulent. She also wanted a fat boy.
Zhao Yulin knew that he was going to be teased and tortured by the woman, so he quickly found an excuse to leave.
When he went out, he asked Chu Yuxuan to cross the river to visit Mrs. Cao. He had not had time to visit her since she came to Yibin.
Haha, after trying on a few sets of clothes, Mrs. Cao actually started chatting with his mother. The two of them were of similar age and had similar topics, so they quickly became close.
Zhao Yulin found Lu Youpeng and went to visit Mrs. Cao who lived in the inn. After taking care of her daily needs, he went to the government office.
Lao Lu asked him: If we really want to open a public horse-drawn carriage to Rongde County, it will be a big deal.
Zhao Yulin said disdainfully that it was a big deal. He also wanted to open up water and land transportation from Chengdu to Zhanjiang and realize intermodal transport.
Old Lu was stunned with surprise, and then said that he couldn't take care of the distant ones, but he must try to get the nearby ones, and start operating the carriage company from Yibin to Rongde.
Lu Youpeng understands this very well. Developing transportation is like sowing money while developing the economy, and there will definitely be a bumper harvest next year.
He said he had no control over these things. Generally speaking, the government had to provide the land and houses, and private capital had to be used to complete the construction, purchase vehicles and horses, recruit personnel and carry out publicity.
The government's responsibilities must be reflected in the public carriage bureau. Operating a large-scale carriage bureau like this is very risky, and it is difficult to set it up with private funds without the support of the government.
After the carriages were opened, the cost of travel for the people dropped, which naturally increased the passenger and business flow along the way. How could the carriages, which traveled across states and counties, develop and grow without the support of the government?
Lu Youpeng said that if this was the case, his state government would invest at a low interest rate to help the carriage bureau get started.
Zhao Yulin disagreed, as it was difficult to say when it came to money. He was asked to coordinate the land and useful houses, and the land and houses must be registered and filed to clearly indicate that they belonged to the government. Any carriage bureau only had the right to use them, not the ownership.
Later, all public carriage companies across the country followed this practice.
Old Lu immediately understood that Zhao Yulin was setting rules to prevent the problem of harming the public interest for personal gain from arising in various places.
After returning, Zhao Yulin said that he was going to Xinshi Town on business.
Yangjin also told him to stop worrying about it, as she and Hulan were also going to Guizhou to investigate the establishment of a carriage bureau. The next day, everyone went their separate ways. Yangjin and Hulan went east to Guizhou, while Zhao Yulin and Chen Chen boarded Chen Xian's transport ship to Xinshi Town. Xinshi had more advanced lathes and drilling machines, and the parts produced were more precise. There they planned to practice what Zhao Yulin said about using the same machine to make muskets and rifle grenades, and aligning the axes of the barrels and rifle grenades.
Not long after the official ship set out, Chen Chen returned to the cabin to catch up on his nap. Chen Xian asked him and the two masters to have a drink and enjoy the view on the front deck. He told him that the Mahu River has two most beautiful seasons a year, namely spring and autumn. It has been a few years since Chen Chen last saw the Mahu River.
Mahu River is Jinsha River. The river section from Yibin to Xinshi is wide and Zhao Yulin has walked along it many times. Of course, he knows the beauty of Mahu River. The four of them opened a jar of grains and cooked them with the ingredients on the boat.
In the east, Hulan was still standing on the rear deck of the official ship and looking at Cuiping Mountain in the distance.
Yangjin told her to go back to the cabin, what was there to see? Yulin and his crew's official ship had already turned into the Mahu River and disappeared.
Hu Lan's face turned slightly red, and she said that she was angry because her brother didn't want her.
Yangjin burst out laughing and asked her if she really wanted to do that and be a woman?
The little girl bit her lip and said that only if she slept with the boy would she truly be his woman.
Yangjin grabbed Hulan's hand and walked into the cabin, saying as she walked that being a woman is difficult, giving birth to a child is a hurdle, the smaller the baby, the more dangerous it is, if things go wrong the baby may die.
She told Hu Lan about Chen Xiaomin's death in childbirth, and told her that Yulin would definitely not consummate the marriage with her before she reached the age. She told her to be content, as she was already a member of the Zhao family, and she should just plan the public carriage company for Yulin.
Hulan understood the reason and finally let it go. She happily said that the carriage bureau was easy, she had already run the carriage bureau in Jiuzhouba, and expanding it would only require more manpower and more money.
Yangjin laughed at her, telling her that this was not a simple matter of personnel and money. How could she coordinate when both sides could not see each other?
It's a matter of several states, how can the rules be established? This is the New Song State running the national carriage bureau.
Hu Lan's eyes widened as she listened. Only then did she realize that what Zhao Yulin was talking about was to establish a national public carriage bureau, and it was not the little trick she had played in Jiuzhouba at all.
The little girl immediately supported her face with her two hands and listened carefully to Teacher Yangjin’s entrepreneurship tutoring class.
Zhenwu Mountain, after Zhao Yulin arrived in Xinshi, Chen Xian did not let him rush to Hongmeng Valley. They had to first make a new large-caliber musket and then match it with a large-caliber grenade launcher.
This gave Chen Chen an opportunity to take Zhao Yulin to the mountain to soak in the hot springs. The couple had a rare romantic world for two. As soon as the little woman got into the water, she fell into his arms and wanted to hold him in the hot spring.
Fairy Banban, you are just adding fuel to the fire.
After a while, the two old mandarin ducks were playing in the bathing pool and having a water fight.
At night, Chen Chen squeezed him dry and huddled in bed to chat, telling him that this time when his younger aunt and Zhennan Prince Duan Xiaolin were discussing state affairs in Chengdu, Lord Li did not show up, and Feiyan was the one who received and handled the whole process.
Feiyan really adhered to the alliance between the two countries and did not make any concessions. She only agreed to let Dali use the overdue taxes to purchase our weapons and supplies.
She asked Zhao Yulin in a low voice, Feiyan said that her brother also sold weapons to the Kingdom of Yue, which means he was quietly arming Dai Yue and Dali to fight, with the aim of weakening their national strength. Is it true?
Zhao Yulin began to be surprised at Zhao Feiyan's intelligence and she really saw through his thoughts.
Chen Chen was nearby, but he just dealt with the matter at hand and didn't think so far ahead.
He gently touched the little woman's waist and said, "Even Feiyan has seen it, so our little queen may not know it. Are you trying to make people happy?"
Chen Chen was so excited by his tickling that he immediately turned over and tortured him more fiercely...
The next day, the little woman was still sleeping soundly, and Zhao Yulin had already set off for Hongmeng Valley. Chen Xian and his team finally made a new gun and were coaxially processing the grenade.
After Zhao Yulin put forward suggestions for improvement, he and Chen Xian went to visit the test production of the small train.
Chen Xian told him with great emotion that there had been tremendous changes in the past ten years and he never imagined that so many new and novel things could be created.
When he was still at the Yibin dock, he thought that his life would be spent working as a blacksmith with a sledgehammer. At that time, all he wanted was to be able to make a sword to fight against the Japanese invaders.
Zhao Yulin was delighted to see the train slowly accelerating on the track, and he estimated that it would not be long before it was put into use.
Chen Xian said there were many more to do, including track changes, rail laying experiments, and experiments to prevent train slippage. They were all written down in the manuscript, which would keep Chen busy.
Zhao Yulin pointed at the small train and said: One day, as the two rails continue to extend into the distance, the new things made by Master Chen will be so numerous that the train will not be able to accommodate them all.
The old master then burst into a hearty laugh.
In the afternoon, the two of them went back to test the gun. After some simple operation, the master fired a grenade. As Zhao Yulin said, the accuracy was improved a lot.
He was very satisfied. He took the bullet, loaded it, aimed at a hornet's nest on a distant tree and fired. In an instant, the huge hornet's nest was smashed to pieces.
Zhao Yulin pointed to the top of the rifle grenade and said: Try installing a small flying claw on it to make an incendiary bomb, and then aim directly at the cloth cover of the hot air balloon and shoot. The flying claw will definitely ignite the hot air balloon after hooking the cloth cover. What's the use of a hot air balloon without the cloth cover?
Everyone was delighted, saying that with this improvement the requirement for shooting accuracy would not be so high, and that they would be able to hit the target and destroy the balloon no matter how they shot.
Zhao Yulin nodded and still requested that the gun barrels and grenade launchers be made on the same bed and sent to each military group for special operation and use.
Because the current accuracy of the bed is not high, only in this way can the shooting accuracy be improved as much as possible.
Chen Xian thought this was the best approach, so he did it.
Guizhou, Yangjin and Hulan have arrived.
Neither of them had expected that the small city of Guizhou actually had running water, which made the small town under the green bamboo and green mountains seem particularly spiritual.
Tuwa Pengcuo was very happy to see Yangjin and his grandson Zhao Guangrui. He happily told his wife to bring his daughter into the bamboo house and make all the arrangements.
Although she was pleasantly surprised, Yangjin still felt that the city of Guizhou was too simple, unpopular, and too small, far inferior to Chengdu.
His father was very satisfied and told him that it was much bigger than Baoning Prefecture, and that the city was growing like a baby. He had only been here for a short time and a new street had already been built.
Yangjin was satisfied to see that her father was getting younger, in good health and in high spirits. She told him that Yulin'er had said that now that the road was repaired, a public carriage company would be gradually established here so that passengers could take passenger carriages and boats from Zhanjiang all the way to Chengdu.
Tuwapengcuo was delighted to hear this. If this were true, Guizhou City would become even more popular.
Because most of the merchants coming and going stop by his place.
Her mother asked someone to pick fresh lychees, and the two women started eating them immediately.
While eating, Yangjin said, "A horseman comes in red dust and the concubine smiles. No one knows it is lychees." Back then, these were the tributes that Yang Guifei wanted to eat. We are so blessed to have tasted all the fresh fruits along the way.
Her mother said happily that the tree was not far ahead, so come and eat, eat, there were plenty of fresh lychees.
The two women laughed happily and kept on attacking.
Tuwapengcuo reported to her daughter that although Guizhou has many mountains and little land, the people are hardworking and will find ways to make money. After the road was built, a large amount of mountain goods were shipped out, sold to Zhanjiang in the south and sent to Jiuzhouba in Yibin in the north, which brought a lot of income.
