Chapter 442 The Possibility of the Steam Age

As the snow was getting heavier, Chen Xie became even more lazy to run around. When he returned to the bedroom where he was resting, the ground dragon burned in it, and it was warm. The window was filled with glass, and the frost was seen from the inside, and the outside world became blurred. It was already dark, and Chen Xie was a little sleepy when he lay on the kang. When the gentle footsteps came in, Chen Xie's sleepiness was interrupted and he got up and took a look.

Wu Yunna was in front, followed by a Su Malagu behind her. This woman was very lively and hooked up with Wu Yunna so quickly.

In fact, Wu Yunna's idea is very simple. She doesn't have much to say about competing for favor. She probably feels that she can't beat the women with silky skin in the Central Plains, let alone talent. In addition to riding a horse, she also has a good body to resist, and she doesn't have much capital. Wu Yunna's appearance of these three women in this tribe is able to help with some thoughts, so she brings people.

"Is there anything?" Chen Xie said lightly, and Wu Yunna smiled, "Su Malagu said that her masters have cooked some wine and dishes and asked her master to taste one or two." Chen Xie couldn't help but smile and said, "The Liaodong area has no advantages over delicious food. Well, roasting whole lamb is good, and stewing is good. In other words, it seems that this area has no advantages."

Su Malagu was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer. At this time, the masters were still nervous. After all, the dust has not settled yet. My life is in the hands of others, and the future is the same. Since you make such a choice, you have to work hard, at least for a good future? Even if Chen Xie is a person who believes in words, Chen Xie saw that she didn't know what to say, so he said lightly: "Since you have done it, just send it here. I am very lazy and don't like to move around. This ghost weather makes me want to move even more."

Su Malagu said goodbye and went back. After seeing the three masters and reposting Chen Xie's words, Zhezhe looked worried and said, "Don't you come?" Su Malagu was speechless, Bumu Butai sighed and said, "Then go. My sister is gone, and only our aunt and nephew are left. There are too many people to protect. We must try our best to fight for it."

The two of them each carried a food box, each brought a close-fitting palace maid, and entered Chen Xie's residence. Chen Xie sat on the kang without moving, and looked at them and said, "Leave the things behind, I know what you think. Don't think about it anymore. Chen is a person who believes in words. If you are not at ease, let's do this. Let's take five hundred confidants with you. I'll send you to Jeju Island. On that, you can graze with peace of mind and no one will disturb your quiet life. As for Fulin, you can only send it to the capital. This is the inevitable result, as I had agreed before."

The two women looked at each other and knelt down together and said, "I ask for a job in supervising the master." Chen Xie nodded and said, "Tell me!"

"Supervisor, can we return to the Korqin grassland?" Bumubutai said bravely, and Chen Xie's eyes suddenly became extremely strict, but it only flashed. "I understand, this needs to be thought about."

The two knelt down and thanked each other. Chen Xie sat on the kang, thinking about this problem in his mind. There is no doubt that there is no big problem here. As long as they think about their children in their hands, they will not make too many mistakes. However, Chen Xie was still a little hesitant because this was not in line with the rules. If they put them back on the grassland, many things might not be decided by them.

"Master, you can be kind, it's not easy for them to be orphans and widows." Wu Yunna actually spoke good things. Chen Xie looked at him with a sharp look. Wu Yunna was so scared that she knelt on the kang and lowered her head without saying anything. Although Chen Xie was usually easy to talk, she would not be lenient when she was angry. There are too many ways to deal with Wu Yunna. Even if she was Man Hui, so what if Wang Ben was stationed on the grassland, it was not difficult to support another person to replace him. If you can do the first time, you can do the second time.

"How do you guarantee that after they go back, no one will make a fuss about their identities. The grassland is not the Central Plains, the emperor is far away from the sky. If something happens, it will easily become out of control. If you don't know anything, you will know that you are abusing good people." Chen Xie said this, which was considered to give her face, and this woman was not easy. It was meaningless to make things difficult for her. It was nothing more than to let her understand that many things were not something she could figure out.

Wu Yunna breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to bring the food box. Chen Xie waved his hand: "No, just let the kitchen get some dumplings, you have no appetite. I asked them to come here, but I don't want them to think randomly. I have to deal with a lot of things and don't have much thought to spend on it. I hope you understand, don't make trouble, so as not to wipe your face."

After learning a lesson, Wu Yunna went out and ordered the kitchen to come to the yard where her aunt and nephew lived. After coming in, she said hurriedly: "Master has no other thoughts, just because she is afraid that you will think about it. I have to go back, so as not to be discovered by the master and blame him again."

The aunt and nephew looked at each other speechlessly. It seemed that many things were not what they thought.

The cold winter is not doing nothing. Chen Xie set out from Shenyang on the excuse of inspecting, and first went to Liaoyang, took a rail car to Lushun from here, and returned to Dengzhou by sea. After landing, he met Su Haochen, who was in Dengzhou. The newly promoted general of Dengzhou, looked a little thinner and his eyes were still full of energy.

The changes in Dengzhou are changing with each passing day. The outside of the old city has now become a new city, with a bit of a development trend of inner and outer cities. Standing on the dock, you can see the towering chimneys rolling black smoke. This is a symbol of modern industry and a symbol of strength. In this era, you really don’t say anything about pollution, it’s nonsense.

"Master, it's so difficult to meet you now." Lu Weiluo, a foreign devil, met Chen Xie as if he met his own father. Now his position is the head of the Dengzhou Military Weapons Bureau, and his title is guerrilla. Anyway, if Chen Xie recommends it, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel will not make things difficult, and the emperor will not refuse to give these positions. Therefore, the three foreigners who can work were all assigned positions.

How to say it, Lu Weiluo looked very excited when he saw Chen Xie. This was really not a pretentious one. These people turned out to be a group of mercenaries, because of their skill, they became the best man in Chen Xie. Not to mention Europeans, these people, now Europe is in the countryside compared to the Ming Dynasty, and the streets of Paris are smelling three miles in the wind.

To put it nicely, Chen Xie allowed them to realize their life value. To put it bluntly, they were all ten thousand times better than living in Europe. So, when they saw Chen Xie, they were excited, and the tears in their eyes were also real.

"Okay, don't do this anymore. I read your report and rushed back." Chen Xie smiled and comforted her. Su Haochen turned his face away, as if he couldn't stand it.

After getting on the carriage, Lu Weiluo continued to flatter: "Master, I can only say that you are the only wise man in the world. According to the model you provided, the newly established manufacturing bureau has completed the replication of the steam engine. In terms of technology, you may not be as good as your model, but you have copied it in a rough way."

When Chen Xie heard this, his heart was really beating. This was a steam engine. With this thing, the era of industrialization could be started. On the surface, Chen Xie had to look calm and nodded calmly while listening to his report. Speaking of which, it was a coincidence. Since Sun Yuanhua stepped down, he has been staying in Dengzhou and has been working hard. Not only did he work hard, he also seduced his Christ brother Johnson Chan from the capital.

Originally, they were casting cannons in the capital, and they did a good job. After casting nearly ten cannons, Sun Yuanhua wrote a letter and Tang Ruowang gave up. He submitted a memorial to Zhu Youjian that he would go to Dengzhou to learn how to cast cannons. Moreover, a huge explosion occurred in this capital, which made his work unable to continue.

Zhu Youjian didn't keep him, thinking that the cannons depend on who was using them. Besides, the cannons made in Dengzhou are better than those made by Johnson Chan. It would be better to be tempted and convince Chen Xie to get some cannons to the capital to replenish the arsenal.

When Joshua Chan arrived in Dengzhou, he didn't learn how to cast cannons. He was taken to the manufacturing bureau by Sun Yuanhua. After seeing a model of a steam engine, the two went crazy and went all in. Also crazy was Song Yingxing. This gentleman was himself. Why? He was writing the book "The Works of Heaven and Things" and wrote it halfway. He heard that Dengzhou's manufacturing was very good. He felt itchy and couldn't help but come to Dengzhou for inspection at his own expense. The officials quit because of the excuse of being in poor health.

When I arrived in Dengzhou, I was wandering in private factories at the beginning. I heard that the best factory was in the Military Equipment Bureau. I wanted to go into the military forbidden area, and even if you have fame, I would not buy it. As Lu Weiluo was ordered to set up a manufacturing bureau, targeted research and development to overcome the difficulties of steam engines, and offered a list of professional talents to recruit excellent treatment from the society. Song Yingxing, who was wandering in the private factory, was itchy about the manufacturing technology of the Military Equipment Bureau. He could really put down his airs and ran to apply for the job.

Sun Yuanhua, who was responsible for recruiting technicians, immediately accepted it. Song Yingxing's actual operation ability was average, but he couldn't resist his knowledge and made suggestions. It was very useful. The three-person core leadership group was officially established and a research team was established, which transformed the model around the steam engine all day long.

You really want to say that after working hard for a year, they have really made it difficult for them to build one part after another.

After listening to Lu Weiluo's report, Chen Xie was secretly happy. He immediately asked someone to go back to Zhangjiazhuang to get another model. What model?

Sun Yuanhua, Song Yingxing, and Tang Ruowang were busy working around the sample of the steam engine. This thing was made, but everyone was really worried. Why? The process was too difficult. This thing is very dangerous. In order to create this steam engine that is quite harmonious and can run safely for three days, the boiler exploded many times during this period.
