Cub Nursery

"My lord, there are still not enough craftsmen." Li Mushi came to find him early in the morning.

He changed into a thick jacket, and his whole face was flushed. A while ago, he even took over his family to live in. Yan Xun arranged a cement house for him, and now he is officially a person on the river side.

When Li Mushi first arrived at the bridge building place of the Conservation Hall, he looked down on Yan Xun, thinking that he was making a fuss, but only after he came did he realize that he was not even as good as the little cubs. A concrete bridge like a beast took shape, and he also had the seeds of ambition in his heart.

Especially Yan Xun gave him a chance.

Nowadays, a craftsman like Li Mushi is called an engineer, and the men who work all respect him very much.

He wanted to design the appearance of the cement building, and after being arranged by Yan Xun to build dams and the Great Wall, Li Mushi also helped design many models, just seeing Yan Xun gave him two slaps.

When he was in the Ministry of Industry, no matter how good his craftsmanship was, Li Mushi was only a craftsman, not even the smallest official in the Ministry of Industry.

"My lord..." Li Mushi looked at Yan Xun expectantly.

He knew that Yan Xun would not look down on craftsmen, otherwise he would not have given him such great power.

"Well, I have already thought about this matter, you can go back and wait for the news." Yan Xun said with a smile, "I know what you think, don't worry, I will do my best to make it happen at this time."

"Thank you, my lord." Li Mushi bent down to salute, his eyes turned red instantly.

After teaching the cubs and children in the morning, Yan Xun said, "I'm going to the capital this afternoon, who of you wants to go with me?"

"My lord, I'm the only one free." The snake-bodied cub raised the tip of its tail.

"Success." Yan Xun nodded, and took the snake-body cub and Jing Fengye with him.

Before setting off, Li Gouzi ran over, "My lord, the general told me to lead a team to protect you." Behind him was a group of Taoist soldiers, many of whom were familiar faces, including Cao Xianfeng.

"Success." Yan Xun thought for a while and agreed.

These people also follow Yan Xun and Xiao Cub, but they are completely different from before.In the past, it was to restrain the cubs, for fear that they would hurt others, but this time it was for fear that someone would hurt them.

This kind of change is almost reversed. The predecessors did not dare to think about it, and the later generations did not dare to do it. But now everyone takes it for granted, and it should be like this.

The sun was fine, there was no wind, and it was extraordinarily warm outside.

Yan Xun and Jing Fengye were riding iron donkeys respectively. The snake-bodied cubs were sitting in the small frame behind the iron donkeys, with the tip of their tails firmly grasping the handle, showing their round faces in a very majestic manner, looking at the rushing river , and then look at the magnificent Danxin Bridge, and you will be on the other side of the river in the blink of an eye.

The Taoist soldiers guarding the bridge saw that it was Yan Xun, Jing Fengye, and a little cub.

Jing Fengye didn't wear a mask, his face was exposed brightly, the dragon pattern marks on his cheeks could be seen clearly from a distance, and his ears were a little bit sharper than ordinary people, very beautiful.The snake-bodied cub has no legs, and one tail grabs the handle for a while, shakes it for a while, and tugs at the thick clothes on its body.

The Taoist soldiers here were a little scared when they saw it.

"General, shall we stop or not?"

The deputy general frowned and looked at him, and said: "I will go forward and have a look."

At the end of the bridge is a wooden frame with thorns, which looks like it was built by Yan Xun.A few Taoist soldiers stood in front of them vainly, seeing Yan Xun get off the donkey, they subconsciously took a step back.

"Master Yan." The deputy general took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "I don't know why Master Yan came to the capital?"

"Go to the Ministry of Industry, the general won't let me go, will you?" Yan Xun smiled, "I would like to ask the general to make it easier, after all, everyone is an official at the court, and you can't see you when you look up."

That being said, the weather is starting to get warmer, Yan Xun has never come to the capital, even the emperor has passed the imperial decree several times, and sent Hu Ru over several times but failed to invite this person over, at this time he is dignified That said, it sounds reasonable.

The deputy general pondered for a moment, but he didn't dare to stop him and let him go.

The big characters of "Conservation Hall Bridge Construction Office" are still standing on the concrete building, and the people living in the concrete building have long since changed.Yan Xun glanced casually, then rode on the donkey again, leading the snake-bodied cub all the way forward.

There were not many people on the street and it was very deserted.

Places with cement roads are fine, but where there are no cement roads, many shops are closed and there are no people on the streets.

Yan Xun came all the way to the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, but it was also deserted, the guard at the gate saw Jing Fengye, he was taken aback for a moment, his eyes widened and he ran in.

"My lord." Jing Fengye hurriedly took a step back, lowering his head.

He was very tall and handsome, but the traces of dragon scales were very obvious, and he could be seen as a monster at a glance, and he didn't hide it. During this journey, I don't know how many people secretly looked at him.

The cub with the body of a snake was leaning against Yan Xun's thigh, the tip of its tail flickered, and it felt a little nervous.

Yan Xun pinched the little cub's soft cheek, and whispered, "Don't be afraid, they still want us."

"En." The snake-body cub puffed up his chest, thinking that the water he got was the cleanest and most of the time, he could only get water from him. The snake-body cub felt a little proud, and immediately he was not afraid .

Jing Fengye hurriedly looked at Yan Xun, hoping that he would also comfort her.

Yan Xun said, "You should learn to think for yourself."

What is different now and then, and why.In the past, every time I came out of Honglu Temple, I would wrap myself up tightly, for fear of being seen as a monster, but now I am ostentatiously appearing in the capital, for fear that people would not see it as a monster.

Because they did a lot of things on the other side of the river, they swaggered like this.

Jing Fengye figured it out, and when he looked at the few people from the Ministry of Industry, his expression was calm, and his handsome face really looked very majestic.

"Master Yan."

The leader is somewhat similar to Hu Ru, this person is thinner, with a bit mean face, it is Hu Ru's cousin, Hu Sai.He didn't have much ability, and his knowledge was not very good, but he was lucky, Hu Ru went to Honglu Temple, and he filled the vacancy of the fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Industry.

Hu Ru went back to the other side of the river several times and suffered a lot. Although he is now the fourth-rank minister of Honglu Temple, it is very embarrassing to be in the same place, and Honglu Temple is empty, and he is the only one.

Hu Ru is often ridiculed in official circles these days, and everyone feels that his gains outweigh his losses.

Seeing Yan Xun coming in person at this time, Hu Sai felt that he should hate him as much as Hu Ru, but it was because of Yan Xun that he was able to fill the vacancy, and he was very happy in his heart, so the expression on his face looked very distorted.

"En." Yan Xun nodded calmly and entered the Ministry of Industry.

Hu Sai was a few steps behind and asked, "Master Yan came to the Ministry of Industry, what is the purpose?"

"I want to call craftsmen." Yan Xun said straight to the point, "It doesn't matter what your background is, as long as you are a craftsman. The salary is easy to talk about. If you do a good job, you can get a cement house on the other side of the river. All kinds of guarantees. I wrote it in the booklet, you all have a look. If it is suitable, start recruiting craftsmen today..."

The booklet is very detailed. The people present are all scholars, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and workers are still under the peasants. Naturally, they look down on craftsmen, but why did Yan Xun recruit craftsmen?

"Master Yan..." Seeing that no one spoke, Hu Sai could only bite the bullet and speak.

"I want to build railway tracks." Yan Xun said, "That's all."

Naturally, Hu Sai could not be the master of such a big matter, nor could the entire yamen of the Ministry of Industry be the master. The book quickly went all the way up to the Imperial Study Room, in the hands of the emperor.

The emperor didn't call Yan Xun into the palace, but called the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the cabinet scholar.

"Everyone, take a look." The emperor threw down the notebook.

When Zhou Guang saw it, his heart moved.He knows what the railroad track is. If it is really built, you don’t need to walk or run anywhere in the future, and you can go anywhere by taking that thing called a train.

He thought about it a little further, if there were big monsters at the border in the future, the soldiers would be able to reach the border faster by taking the train, and it would be more convenient to transport food. There would be too many benefits.

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Yan Xun wants to build railway tracks, who knows what he will do, maybe even attract monsters."

"Your Majesty, Yan Xun is so bold, what else can he not do?"

"Please think twice, Your Majesty."

"Zhou Aiqing, tell me." The emperor frowned, seeing that Zhou Guang had been silent, he asked.

Zhou Guang stood up, knelt down, saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, you must agree to this matter."

"Zhou Guang, do you know what you're talking about!" The emperor's face changed, and he regretted asking Zhou Guang, and regretted letting him come.At this moment, the emperor even wanted Zhou Guang to retire and return to his hometown to take care of himself.

"The emperor, please move away from the left and right sides," Zhou Guang said.

The emperor's expression changed again. After a moment of stalemate, he nodded and let everyone in the imperial study room go out, leaving only Zhou Guang.He was sitting tall, looking down at Zhou Guang, wanting to hear what he wanted to say, and what he had to say to keep the black hat on his head. Go straight to prison.

Zhou Guang was still kneeling, and said: "Your Majesty, in the past, the Great Qin unified the six kingdoms, the cars were on the same track, and the books were on the same text. What a feat that has never been done before. Now the Great Qin is stable, and all the surrounding small countries have surrendered, but there are still demon kingdoms." The devils and barbarians should not be underestimated, why did the emperor reject Yan Xun's changes, is it just because he is too popular?"

He has studied knowledge all his life, and his speech is very polite, but now he speaks a lot of vernacular.

After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to take off the black gauze cap on his head, and pleaded guilty: "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Aiqing, please." The emperor sighed.

He is old, no matter how well he is maintained, no matter how much delicacies he eats, he will have wrinkles on his face and white hair on his head.Great Qin Kingdom has existed for hundreds of years, the first emperor was a famous God of War, his cultivation was able to reach the heavens, but unfortunately he died young, now there are very few princes with cultivation in the royal family. .

The more ordinary people are, the more afraid of death they are, and they wish they could guard the palace every day.

Although Yan Xun is an ordinary person, and the little cubs are also very weak, but those little cubs are by Yan Xun's side, and they can do great things that can reach the sky.He is also very naughty, and has repeatedly disobeyed and disrespected, but now he is still alive and kicking.

And the princes sent over are more shameless than the other.

The emperor was terrified and sighed more than once, why Yan Xun is not the prince, if he is the prince, then the prince must be given to him.

There is a scent in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

Yan Xun was sitting in the house cooking a hot pot, and on the small table next to him, a cub with a snake body curled up a fork with the tip of its tail, eating the cooked thin slices of meat one bite at a time, and another mouthful of vegetables, its cheeks bulging.

People outside were fidgeting, unable to eat, and smelling the smell of the house, they were even more hungry.

"The imperial decree, the imperial decree is here." The gatekeeper stumbled all the way in.

Yan Xun took Jing Fengye and the little cub out to receive the order.

It's done.

From now on, the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry will cooperate with county governments in various places to recruit craftsmen, and the treatment will be favorable.

"This, this..." Hu Sai only felt his eyes go dark, and he also received a message sent by Hu Ru, asking him to embarrass Yan Xun, but now that the imperial decree has come, what else can he do?

Coming out of the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Yan Xun rode an iron donkey and turned a corner, and arrived at the gate of Zhou Mansion.

After waiting for about a cup of tea, a small sedan chair came over from the small road, which was Zhou Guang's sedan chair.

"My dear brother." Zhou Guang was taken aback when he saw Yan Xun, and then thought that he must have guessed something, so he came ahead of time and waited, and he was moved in his heart.

"Brother Zhou, if you have nothing to do, you can go to my place to have a look. There are many workshops there. I hope Brother Zhou can help you palm your eyes." Yan Xun said, and hurriedly poked the snake body cub, "Didn't you say that you can still take it with me?" Got a gift?"

The snake-body cub quickly swam to the front, took out a big wooden box, and said softly, "Master Zhou, here is a gift we prepared for your son."

The little cub looked very weird, wearing thick clothes, with the tip of his tail sticking out, he was the least human-like cub.

When the man carrying the sedan chair saw such a cub for the first time, he looked very curiously, but there was no fear in his eyes.

Yan Xun didn't enter the Zhou Mansion, he just said a few words at the gate and rode away on an iron donkey.

This trip to the capital was almost due to the arrival of Yan Xun, which set off an invisible undercurrent. After he went back on the Danxin Bridge, that undercurrent set off a stormy sea: the cabinet scholar returned to his hometown, and the people in the mansion the next day Nothing changed, only Zhou Guang took Zhou Ruizhi to the other side of the river.

The second wave of turmoil is: all craftsmen, as long as they go to work, they will be treated favorably.

"My lord, we want to build a car." The Flame Cub said suddenly.

"Why do you have such an idea?" Yan Xun asked with a smile.

He once talked about the car in the story, and now the cubs know the steam engine like the back of their hands, and even built the second generation, and the model train came out, just waiting for the rails to be built and put into use.

Cars are different from trains, they are more complicated.

"I hope it's finished and given to my little brother." The flame cub said, looking at Yan Xun's belly.

The little cubs all know that Yan Xun has a body. A few days ago, Yan Xun didn't like to eat. These little cubs did not think of a way to do it. They even picked a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus and put them in the rice for Yan Xun to eat. They even tossed the scones , baked fruit or something.

In the past few days, Yan Xun's appetite has improved again, he ate a lot, almost gained a lot of weight, and his stomach bulged even more.

When in the house, because of the heat, Yan Xun wore very little clothes, and he could see his bulging stomach.

"Well, let's start designing the drawings." Yan Xun thought for a while and said, "It's just that if we use it ourselves, it shouldn't be difficult."

There are flame cubs who can heat up and increase power, claw cubs to adjust parts, black and white cubs to control parts, other cubs to help with calculations, and bouncing cubs to make wheels, it seems that it can really succeed.

When the little cubs ran to study with great interest, Yan Xun and Jing Fengye were the only ones left in the room. The latter suddenly came over and asked, "Are adults born knowing? Why do you know everything? In this world Isn't there no adult who doesn't know?"

How water turns into ice and how it turns into steam.

Iron can be added to anything to turn it into steel, and stones can be concentrated and calcined to turn it into cement.

Several formulas were taken out to create gunpowder.

All kinds of deeds can be called miracles, even big monsters, or generals who have cultivated to the gods, do not have the ability to change the world like this.

Jing Fengye looked at the flat concrete road outside the window, the tall concrete buildings in the distance, and the locomotive that looked like a hill in the yard, and he always felt in his heart that Yan Xun is really No. 1 through the ages.

"I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants, so I can see farther." Yan Xun said lightly, "In the future you will understand that I am nothing at all, and you are the ones who are truly capable."

The recipes he knew were very basic. If he followed those recipes, it would be impossible to form a steam engine, let alone a locomotive, and guns would not find such useful bullets. They would only study gunpowder.

"My lord, the sky is getting warmer." Jing Fengye said suddenly.

"Well, at the beginning of next year, we must have a good celebration." Yan Xun thought for a while and said, "By the way, have you found all the seeds I'm looking for?"

"We found almost all the food, and there are others that we haven't seen, and we haven't found them yet." Jing Fengye said, leaning closer and wrapping his arms around Yan Xun, lowering his voice, "My lord, there are really sweet and glutinous ones. Grain, is there still one mu of land that can produce [-] catties of grain?"

"As long as we have that kind of thinking, we can definitely achieve it." Yan Xun said.

The sun shines in through the glass windows, warming the body.

Yan Xun leaned against the soft quilt, narrowed his eyes and felt sleepy.

Jing Feng stood guard at the side at night, watching Yan Xun intently.

After looking at it, he drew the curtains, closed the door of the small room, knelt down in front of him, picked up Yan Xun's feet, and opened his own clothes.He didn't even dare to think about this kind of thing before, but since Yan Xun didn't feel so uncomfortable last time, and he didn't bleed, he became more and more courageous as if he was inflated.

I heard from those guys that sometimes my brother likes to refuse and welcome.

Jing Fengye looked at Yan Xun, thinking in his heart, if he refused, he would never dare to go any further.

In his heart, Yan Xun is superior, as long as he has a little pity and stretches out a foot to him, it will be fine.

Yan Xun knew he was falling asleep, since his belly bulged, he fell asleep easily.Suddenly I had a dream, my feet were caught, and I couldn't break free no matter how hard I tried...

As soon as Yan Xun opened his eyes, he saw that his feet were being grabbed, and he was stepping on something, and that thing even jumped.

!!!

What kind of weird trick is this, I have never heard of it!

**The river crab passed by, the river crab left**

The soles of the feet were smooth, with a sweet scent, Yan Xun smelled it, wiped it again quickly, and put on socks.

"My lord." Jing Fengye looked at Yan Xun's stomach, "This is the only way..."

"En." Yan Xun casually agreed.

Although his stomach was bulging, he didn't really feel much, but Mr. Huo said that he couldn't do that kind of thing, but Jing Fengye couldn't hold his feet either, which was really weird enough.

Glancing at Feng Ye in his glasses, Yan Xun hurriedly opened the door and went out.

The cubs were busy outside, and Sun Chen'er and Zhou Ruizhi also came.

"My lord, come and see!" The cubs all waved at Yan Xun.

In the middle of the room, there is a huge wooden frame, which is inlaid with pieces of glass. Inside, there are wooden rockeries, concrete roads, and wooden concrete buildings. On the far side is the unformed Great Wall.

"Very good." Yan Xun stared at the beach for a while and said, "There should be a war rabbit cub here, the older one."

The little cubs were all made of small wooden figures, and placed in the nursery hall building, inside the concrete building, as well as Yan Xun and Jing Fengye.

"Yes." The little cubs thought for a while and nodded in unison.

The war rabbit cubs have been collected by the sea for so many years, although not many people know about it, but those who know should also show that they know.

Soon, the Cub Claw took a piece of wood, cut it into the shape of a Cub War Rabbit, and placed it on top of the Great Wall that had just been built.

There are thick plaster casts on the neck and limbs of the little cub, which looks very strange, the limbs are also very slender, and the cheeks are thin, but the wooden statue is huge compared to the concrete building, the Great Wall, etc., like a little cub He guarded the coast here.

"En, this is very good." Yan Xun nodded in satisfaction, "When the Great Wall is completed, we will build a concrete building over there, exactly the same as this one."

"My lord." The war rabbit cub pursed his lips, his eyes were shining brightly.

In fact, those memories are already very blurred. He even forgot the taste of eating rocks, leaves, and grass roots. He also forgot all the big monsters he had killed so many people who came ashore from the sea.

At this time, Zhantu cubs remember most clearly that at that time Yan Xun came over and gave him a bowl of water, a piece of sweet and delicious bread, and the cubs gave him a lot of caramel.

The memory after that is much clearer, he can even remember the small details of every day, just like every moment has been frozen in his mind since Yan Xun took him away, and the previous things are getting more and more blurred. Almost gone.

Zhou Ruizhi ran over and looked up at Yan Xun, "My father is much happier after coming here, thank you sir."

"En." Yan Xun stroked Zhou Ruiz's soft hair, and asked him to find the cubs to play with.

Zhou Guang is good at academic research, and he is a cabinet scholar, and what he has seen and heard is the top in the whole of Daqin.Although Yan Xun has many workshops and people here, in Zhou Guang's eyes, it's just a very simple matter.

Zhou Guang also helped to figure out how to start construction and how to arrange craftsmen for the railway construction site.

The railway starts from the seaside and is divided into multiple sections at the same time. There is no limit to the recruitment of workers. As long as the people who come here are qualified, they can work directly.

After everything was ready, when Yan Xun nodded, Li Mushi took the lead and set off with a group of craftsmen. Yan Xun and Jing Fengye also brought a group of craftsmen, and they went to no other place, but Wang Zhener's house to buy. In the few mountains that came down.

Early in the morning, Yan Xun got into the carriage, took the war rabbit cubs, and Jing Fengye, all the way across the Danxin Bridge, and then went straight out of the city.One day's walk to the west is the mountain bought by Wang Zhen'er's family, and the railway will be built from here.

The little cub left the concrete building and concrete road for the first time, saw the dirt road for the first time, and saw the dense forest. He remembered that he used to like to eat leaves, bark and roots, but later he had nothing to eat, and he also ate stones .

But now he has a lot of crunchy noodles to eat.
