Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 222
But this also made Sun Yuanhua more curious about Li Jing.

He had seen the rifle used by Chen Erhu with his own eyes, and heard from Chen Erhu that the gun was designed by Li Jing. In Sun Yuanhua's view, such an exquisite gun can only be made manually, and it must take time and effort.

Now I heard Yuan Keli say that guns are produced with equipment, so the equipment for producing guns should also be designed by Li Jing. Sun Yuanhua really couldn't figure out how Li Jing could make guns, let alone what kind of equipment could make such guns.

Naturally, Li Jing wouldn't explain it, and there were some things he couldn't explain.

Xu Guangqi is relatively proficient in mechanical aspects, and Sun Yuanhua also knows a little bit. As long as they see the equipment, they will naturally understand the truth.

When Shen Zheng went home to celebrate the New Year years ago, Li Jing asked Shen Zheng to order Zhao Shuangxi to make preparations.

In fact, not only one set of various equipment is made in Hongshanling, relying on water-driven equipment to work, the equipment will inevitably rust and corrode, especially these equipment are not very precise, and many parts need to be replaced frequently.

Therefore, when manufacturing those equipments, Li Jing ordered Zhao Shuangxi and others to make several sets of spare equipments, and made a lot of vulnerable parts.

In the future, the military factory will be transferred to Pingyang Mansion, so there is no need to keep the military factory in Hongshanling. Li Jing plans to move all the equipment here after the track is put on here.

Of course, Li Jing will not lose Hongshanling as a base. Although Hongshanling is no longer a development center, Li Jing plans to build Hongshanling into a large supply base.

Hongshanling is located in the mountains, with dense forests and abundant water sources.

Li Jing was going to let the people who stayed behind in Hongshanling raise chickens and pigs there, and the reservoir couldn't be left idle. If there was so much water and no fish were raised, wouldn't the water in the reservoir be blinded?
Li Jing was able to have what he is today. The people in Hongshanling have made great contributions. Some of the first soldiers who joined Li Jing's team were already old, and many of them had already reached the age of retirement.Li Jingde arranged for them a place for the elderly, so that they could do these jobs within their ability and earn a lot of money.

At the same time, since the future will focus on the construction and development of Pingyang Mansion, Li Jing intends to move all the migrant population from Hongshanling to Pingyang Mansion, and leave Hongshanling to those who have made great contributions.

With these retired veterans guarding the old battalion, and leaving them a garrison, no one would dare to attack Hongshanling.

But all of this can only be implemented after the beginning of spring, and the Pingyang Mansion must do a good job in the preliminary preparations, especially the place where they live, before they can move these people.

This is a big project. Li Jing estimates that it will take at least half a year to a year to complete the settlement of so many people.

……

Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua agreed to join the Jishi Army, and Li Jing was in a good mood.

Turning his head to look at Yang Liufeng, Li Jing smiled and said: "Careful, didn't you get some Fenjiu some time ago? How about taking it out today and asking everyone to taste it?"

Yang Liufeng said with a smile: "It's okay for the general to drink, but Mr. Yuan and Mr. Xu are old, so they don't want to drink strong alcohol like Fenjiu. I still have two altars of bamboo leaf green. This wine is mellow and soft, which is suitable for both. Gentleman to drink."

Although Li Jing doesn't usually drink much, he is definitely a wine drinker. He has never drank authentic Zhuyeqing.At this time, after hearing Yang Liufeng say that he bought two jars, he knew that the age of these two jars of wine would never be low, and if it was too low, it would not be able to catch Yang Liufeng's eyes.

Smacking his lips, Li Jing pointed at Yang Liufeng and said, "Careful, you are being unkind. You hid such a good wine, but you didn't invite me to drink it. Take it out today, and everyone drank it."

Zhou Hengchen next to him smiled and said, "Commander, you like to drink Zhuyeqing, and I will buy you a few jars later when the officials come back."

Li Jing shook his head and said: "What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom. This wine is a good thing, but drinking too much is not good, let's forget it."

Seeing Zhou Hengchen's embarrassed expression, he waved his hands. Li Jing smiled and said, "You don't have to be harsh on yourself. It's okay to drink some wine after work. How about it, Hengchen, prepare more of this wine, and I'll see you in a few days." But if you want to have a wedding, these wines will be considered as your wedding gift to me."

Zhou Hengchen was overjoyed when he heard this: "The commander-in-chief is going to have a wedding, how can I just send some wine? I'll think about getting some rare things for the commander-in-chief later."

With a smile, Li Jing said: "Hengchen, you have done a good job in your errands during this time, this is the best gift you can give me, and you guys have done a good job and have not let me down. I have a wedding, Hengchen's wine is what I want, so don't give it away from others, although your salaries are not low, but it is not easy to support a large family, so let's avoid this wedding gift."

Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua felt awe-inspiring when they heard that Li Jing's quality was much higher than those of the imperial court officials.

Those high-ranking officials in the imperial court, including the two of them, whenever there is a happy event in the family, they have to make arrangements for it. There is only one purpose, to make money!The guests did not come empty-handed, and after the happy event was completed, it was a considerable income.

With Li Jing's status in Pingyang Mansion, it is not easy for him to tell everyone not to give wedding gifts for a wedding event.

Li Jing took the lead in not accepting wedding gifts, so the people below will have to restrain themselves when holding weddings in the future, and gradually stop those behaviors that want to make money by holding weddings.

Looking at Li Jing, Xu Guangqi suddenly asked Yuan Keli in a low voice: "Isn't Jimin married yet? Or Mrs. Naru?"

If the wife is a concubine, Xu Guangqi naturally expressed his respect for Li Jing by saying this.

Yuan Keli smiled: "Jimin is a concubine, she is the daughter of the King of Zhou, and the adopted daughter of Brother Yu."

Xu Guangqi was shocked when he heard this: "The daughter of the king of Zhou? Which princess is she, and how did she become the adopted daughter of a good brother? This status is actually used as a concubine for Jimin?"

Yuan Keli sighed and said: "It's Princess Minde, who was expelled from the house by the King of Zhou. Seeing that she was lonely and helpless, my brother adopted her as a righteous daughter. This marriage can be regarded as the master of my brother."

Xu Guangqi looked at Yuan Keli: "My good brother promised Jimin his adopted daughter as a concubine. Aren't you afraid that others will gossip behind his back?"

Yuan Keli shook his head and sighed: "The princess was expelled from the house because of Jimin. It has been five years. If I don't be the master, the princess's life will be ruined. The princess is smart and courageous, although men can't match it." , married to Jimin, and in the future can be called Jimin's arm."

Xu Guangqi pointed to Yuan Keli: "Then you can't be a concubine either! Who is Jimin's regular wife and how is she?"

Yuan Keli smiled and said, "Jimin's main wife is amazing, and Jingji Firm under Jimin's name is all managed by her."

"Ah? I'm afraid the princess will be wronged in the Li family..." Xu Guangqi sighed.

Yuan Keli shook his head and said: "No, the princess and Jimin's wife are both brother Yu's adopted daughters, and they are as close as sisters. Yingying, ah! Yingying is Jimin's wife. In managing so many properties, I have received a lot of help from the Princess."

Xu Guangqi sighed, noncommittal.

Yuan Keli waved his hands and said: "Brother Zixian, let's not talk about this. In the past few days, brother Yu accompanied brother to look around, so that brother Zixian can learn more about the customs under Jimin's rule."

Xu Guangqi nodded slightly.

Xu Guangqi knew that with Yuan Keli around, Li Jing would never go wrong under Li Jing's rule, but Yuan Keli would naturally not show off in front of him, so he would learn more about Li Jing's reputation among the people.

When Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua arrived, Li Jing naturally wanted to take care of them. During the meeting, everyone chatted, and Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua found out that Zhou Hengchen was the prefect of Pingyang, Yang Liufeng was the prefect of Xiezhou, and Fang Fang was the prefect of Puzhou.In addition, Shen Zheng, the magistrate of Pingyang Prefecture, did not come back to spend the New Year with his father, and Yu Leting, the procurator of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, did not come due to busy government affairs.

Hearing about Li Jing's team, the two were secretly surprised. Although these people were all officials appointed by the imperial court, it was as if they were another imperial court, and there was even an envoy from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

What surprised them even more was that Li Jing turned out to be a general in Shanxi, leading the rank of general of the town.

Seeing that everyone is big and small, it is obvious that they don't take the generals appointed by the court seriously.

Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua looked at each other, with wry smiles in their hearts. It is considered the extreme to sell dog meat under false pretenses.

But the two don't regret it. Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua don't agree with the imperial court's set up in their bones, and both of them are from science backgrounds. As long as Li Jing can let them do science and provide great support, whether to sell mutton or dog meat, the two of them don't care.

Moreover, everyone calls each other official positions, which shows that these people have no intention of rebellion.

The banquet ended happily, and the next day, Li Jing personally accompanied Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua around. Seeing that the people here were busy, Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua were amazed.

How can the officials in the capital work so hard?Compared with the officials here, those people in the capital are all vegetarians.

After turning around, Yuan Keli said with a smile: "Brother Zixian, brother Chuyang, take some time to look at the laws formulated by Jimin, I'm afraid you will benefit greatly."

Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua nodded.

After staying in Yicheng County for two days, Li Jing took the two of them to Jiang County to have a look.

Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua were greatly impressed when they saw that the Academy of Sciences that Li Jing said had already set up the framework.

Especially when the two saw the military factory, they were even more surprised.

This is the real military factory.

The artillery factory, firearms factory, gunpowder factory, ammunition factory, etc. are clearly divided, and at the same time, the factories are connected together.

Moreover, there are workers' residences near each factory, that is, people who work in military factories live near the factories, which is really convenient.

At the same time, the two also lamented Li Jing's generosity. The entire military factory was like a fortress, and the perimeter was heavily guarded.

The two really couldn't imagine how much it would cost to build such a military factory.

No wonder Li Jing owns so many properties but says he has a little extra money.
