Cub Nursery

An entire carriage was transformed into a room for research, with sleek tables, sophisticated microscopes, and various iron cabinets.Except for Yan Xun and the cubs, no one knows what the purpose of the things in this room is.

After discussing the results with Yan Xun, the cubs all got into this carriage, closed the door, and began to retreat.

"I guess they won't be able to come out for a few hours, we don't have to wait." Yan Xun didn't stay in the carriage to study, he was relieved to leave those matters to the cubs.

Jing Fengye is also outside, and all the cubs he knows know, so there is no need to help alone.

"Shall we go to the fields?" Seeing that Yan Xun was about to get off the train, Jing Fengye hurried up to help him open the door.

"Go to Brother Huan." Yan Xun said, "In the future, the train will run back and forth frequently, and won't stop for so long. There must be a special reception station in the border town..."

"Like the seaside?" Jing Fengye thought of the seaside.

Yan Xun nodded.

When the railway was built by the sea, it was planned by Yan Xun. There are very tall platforms on both sides of the railway, with wooden sheds built on the top to keep out the wind and rain, and tunnels are arranged below, so you can pass through the railway from below.

Seeing that the second wave of cotton has been planted in the border town, and the second wave of silkworm eggs has begun to hatch, the textile workshop is now non-stop all day and night, and the military households in the border town, ranging from eighty-year-olds to eight-year-old children, arrange work.

In the textile workshop, three shifts are arranged, and each shift will rest after four hours of work. The machines in the workshop will not stop. Working day and night, bolts of incomparably exquisite fabrics are produced, although they are not as good as The silk hand-woven by the Weaver Girl in the south of the Great Qin Dynasty is a miracle, but it requires a lot of work and the quality is guaranteed.

Especially the big cotton balls, which are first spun into thread and then woven into cloth. The cotton cloth is soft and close to the skin, and it is perfect to be sewn into an inner garment to wear on the body.Pieces of fine silk and satin are extremely smooth, made into a robe and worn on the body, not to mention how sharp and suave.

But now all these produced fabrics are piled up in the warehouse, except for Yan Xun who gave some to everyone working in the border town, no one in Daqin knows the existence of these fabrics.

To get the fabric out, the train can't stop here all the time.

Arriving outside an unremarkable courtyard, Yan Xun cleared his throat and called out, "Is anyone there?"

"Yes!" Someone inside immediately agreed, seeing that it was Yan Xun, he hurriedly said, "I have seen Master Yan."

The outside of the small courtyard is unremarkable, but the inside has changed a long time ago. The concrete floor, lime walls, and a kang were built, and the stove next to it was rebuilt. There are several large pots and a brand new wooden cabinet inside. There are pots and pans inside.

This small courtyard was originally the home of a brother Ming knew who washed and washed clothes together. Later, Yan Xun bought it with money. The brother arranged to go to the textile workshop and work with Ming brother. He also lived in the house. Brother Ming's home.

Now the small courtyard is used by Brother Huan and technical craftsmen to eat and live, and it doesn’t seem like a thing to always live on the train.

After entering the room, Brother Huan hurriedly moved a bench for Yan Xun to sit on, cupped his hands and said, "Master Yan."

"You don't have to be cautious, you can do whatever you want." Yan Xun waved his hands to let the people in the room do whatever they want, "I'm going to build a platform, similar to the platform by the sea, what do you think?"

"Only build the platform? What about the people who work on the platform?" Brother Huan thought for a while and asked.

Yan Xun thought of this a long time ago, "Build a concrete building next to the platform, and everyone will eat and live in it from now on."

"That's good." Brother Huan said.

After discussing with everyone, the drawings will come out.

These technical craftsmen are worthy of special examination and certification. The blueprints are drawn with ease. As long as Yan Xun makes comments, they can be quickly modified. There are also dimension markings, three-dimensional drawings, plan drawings, etc. are all available.

Looking at these technical craftsmen, Yan Xun couldn't help but sigh with emotion. At the beginning, he just proposed an idea to Li Mushi of the Ministry of Industry. Even Yan Xun didn't know much about technical craftsmen. The details were all from Li Mushi and other craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry. We negotiated it out.

Now these certified technical craftsmen are all masters, and everyone has drawings and pencils around them, and they can draw and modify at any time.

"I'll figure out a way for the cement. I've already thought about hiring workers. You just need to be in charge." Yan Xun said, "Get ready now, brother Huan. After planning the land that the platform needs to occupy, you can go talk to those people. communicate……"

"Understood." Brother Huan said hastily.

A large piece of land near the railway has been specially designated, with fields, houses, and some abandoned houses.

Brother Huan led the people, first went to the family whose fields belonged, and gave money compensation and field compensation, and the family whose houses belonged to them gave a certain amount of money compensation and arranged a place to live.

Most of the families had work to do, so they were not at home during the day, so Brother Huan led people there at night.

Brother Huan's house was also taken.

In the evening, Brother Ming came back from the workshop, and took a piece of soft noodle cake and some meat dishes saved from lunch, plus stewed vegetables, he could still have a meal.

"Father, I bought a piece of cotton cloth, you can sew some clothes when you have time." Brother Huan ran back with a piece of cotton cloth in his hand.

"Cotton cloth is not cheap. I heard that we will have cloth hair in a few days, why don't you wait?" Brother Ming hurried out, looked at the cotton cloth and said, "It's just right to sew you a small coat."

"Father, my clothes are fine. I'll sew this piece of cloth for you." Brother Huan hurriedly said, "Your inner clothes are too torn to wear. Let's sew them up. We don't need food and clothing right now. Wait for the storeroom." If the cloth in the village is sold, we will get paid. I heard that Master Yan will build more workshops in the future, and we will not be short of work. Besides, the silkworms are starting to hatch now, and there will be another batch of cloth... ..."

Brother Huan chattered, and stuffed the cotton cloth to Brother Ming.

Brother Ming didn't refuse this time.

The clothes on his body are still patched, but at least they won't show the flesh, but the inner clothes are already rotten and can't be rotten any more. Not to mention the patches are pressing on the patches, there are some places that can't be mended at all, and there is no extra fabric at home. .

Brother Ming wiped his eyes and said in a low voice: "It will cost a lot of money, right?"

"It didn't cost a lot of money. Master Yan said that we workers are called insiders, and we buy cloth at cost price. Master Yan will not take our money." Brother Huan hurriedly said.

"Can you listen to Lord Yan? That young master told you, right?" Brother Ming asked.

Brother Huan nodded.

They didn't know the name of Shashan's cub, so they called that young master in private.

What Brother Huan knows is what Shaanshan Cub told him, and it is indeed what Yan Xun said, but it has not been publicized yet.

Fragrant soup was boiling in the earthenware pot. Brother Ming cut open the soft noodle cakes, put some oil on the pot, put the cakes on and fried them, and took them out deliciously. This was the dinner for the father and son.

At this moment Brother Huan brought someone in, "Is it Brother Ming's house?"

"Yes." Brother Ming hurried out.

"It's like this..." Brother Huan hurriedly explained the reason for coming.

Hearing that my house can be replaced with a better one in the future, and there will be money subsidies, if Brother Ming disagreed, of course he nodded quickly.

But he suddenly thought of his friend again, and hurriedly asked: "Brother Zheng's house..."

"It's like this. Brother Zheng has already taken the money. We won't subsidize the money anymore, but we will still allocate him a new house when the time comes." Brother Huan said, "Originally according to the contract, Lord Yan has already given the money to Brother Zheng. The two are clean, but Master Yan said that this matter is not suitable, so he decided to give Brother Zheng a house."

When recruiting workers at the beginning, Yan Xun specifically said that everything is based on the established rules and regulations.

Before people like Brother Ming went to work, what they heard the most was that everything was done in accordance with the terms of the rules. If they violated the terms of the rules, they would not be pardoned to a large extent.

So when Brother Huan told Brother Ming that he wanted compensation, Brother Zheng stayed in the room listening and didn't come out, because he knew that he was already very good at working in the workshop. If he didn't follow the rules, he might It is the work at hand that must be thrown away.

Yan Xun decided to arrange a new house for him, for Brother Zheng, he was overjoyed.

He hurried out and said excitedly: "I didn't expect Lord Yan to remember me, that house..."

"When the time comes, I will notify you to take over the house." Brother Huan said, "Master Yan said, this should be the way it should be, otherwise, wouldn't he be a person who takes advantage of the opportunity and seeks fame!"

"Thank you, Lord Yan." Brother Zheng said.

When Brother Huan took the people away, Brother Zheng was still too excited.

"Master Yan is a good person, he will not intentionally bully others." Brother Ming said, "Have you eaten yet? Why don't we eat together."

"I've already eaten, you can eat." Brother Zheng shook his head and said.

Although he lives in Brother Ming's house, he doesn't eat with them, because Brother Ming and Brother Zheng go to the workshop at different times and rest at different times.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Yan Xun and Jing Feng guarded the train at night, the cubs were busy longer than expected, so they simply slept in the train.

The iron canopy bed has bunk beds, which is just right for one person, but a bit cramped for two people.

The beds are all the same, Yan Xun stood in front of the canopy bed, looked up and down, and said, "I sleep on the bottom, you sleep on the top?"

"Let's all sleep below." Jing Fengye said, took off his clothes, and lay on his side on the innermost side, leaving most of the bed, "I can lie down."

He is tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, so lying on his side really doesn't take up much space.

The vacant space on the bed is huge, and Yan Xun is very slender, it is very loose to lie on, and he can turn over casually.

"Can you lie like this all night?" Yan Xun looked down at Jing Fengye on the bed, feeling a little helpless.

Sometimes Jing Fengye will insist on one thing, such as sleeping, and always refuses to separate from him. After Yan Xun insisted on it a few times, now when faced with this situation, he has already ignored it.

"En." Jing Fengye nodded.

He lay on his side neatly, with his back leaning on the cold and hard train leather, only a little bit of the edge of the pillow, looking at Yan Xun with a pair of innocent eyes.

This will definitely not hinder, Yan Xun didn't say anything, just hung the clothes on the clothes hanger that he brought over temporarily, and turned on the bed.

The wind in the border town is stronger than other places in Daqin, and it is very dry and cracked. Even if the weather is very hot now, you have to cover yourself with a quilt if you want to sleep on the train.

And since the cotton cloth was made and there was ready-made cotton, Yan Xun sewed a quilt early on, which is light and breathable, and it is very comfortable to cover the body.The quilt of the canopy bed was cut to the size of a person, Yan Xun could just cover the quilt at this time, Jing Fengye only covered it a little, and propped up the entire quilt.

His back was exposed, and it was covered with iron sheets. It must be unpleasant.

But this is what he insisted on sleeping on, so Yan Xun simply wrapped himself up in the quilt, not covering Jing Fengye.

The wind outside was whistling, and oil lamps were lit not far away. Farther away were large fields, and on the other side were dark houses.

Except for the Taoist soldiers standing guard, everyone has fallen asleep.

Everything was quiet except for the compartment where the cubs were staying was still lit.There are thick curtains drawn inside, and occasionally there is light coming out, which is a bit dazzling.

The Taoist soldiers on the guard post in the distance will always take a look here from time to time.

On the canopy bed, Yan Xun was so tired these days that he almost fell asleep shortly after laying down. His body temperature was low. Even in the hottest summer, his hands and feet felt cold, especially when he fell asleep. .

And beside him was a person who was lying still and always warm, Yan Xun unconsciously threw the quilt away, leaned over by himself, and wrapped his hands and feet around it.

Jing Fengye is much better than Tang Pozi, he is always neither hot nor cold, and his body is still a little flexible, Yan Xun himself didn't know that he likes to cling to Jing Fengye when he is asleep.

On weekdays, Yan Xun occasionally holds hands with Jing Fengye, and the two of them will be close together, but Yan Xun is the kind of person who looks at you with a smile, and looks like a transparent jade that is not in the world, not like a real person. feel.

This made Jing Fengye feel that he was a mud leg, and he would involuntarily hold Yan Xun up, not daring to touch it hard.

This has nothing to do with feelings, but an insurmountable difference: Yan Xun is so beautiful, and Jing Fengye is so low into the dust.

Only at night, the sleeping Yan Xun will let go of everything, he will close his eyes, and will no longer look at Jing Fengye with those transparent eyes that see through the world, and Jing Fengye can also see that Yan Xun seems to have changed Like a person, tightly wrapped around.

Yan Xun changed at night, but he is still him.

His cheek was pressed against Jing Fengye, muttering sleep talk that no one could understand, his slender arms and legs boldly hugged him, and sometimes kicked him suddenly.

Like a naughty child, domineering yet gentle, contradictory and seductive.

At this time, Yan Xun was a treasure, a treasure that belonged exclusively to Jing Fengye, how could he go to the upper bunk to sleep by himself?

Jing Fengye pulled the quilt and wrapped Yan Xun up well. It's actually not too restrained for two people to cover a quilt, as long as they are close enough.

Yan Xun closed his eyes, and slipped himself into Jing Fengye's arms.

With such a warm existence, he would always lean over him uncontrollably.

The distance between the two was very close, Jing Fengye's body was tense, and he was still lying on his side, but he just reached out to hold Yan Xun in his arms, and helped him tuck the corners of the quilt tightly.

When the closed door on the train opened silently, the flower tree cub saw such a scene.

"Hush." ​​He hurriedly turned around, raised a finger, and whispered to the other cubs, "My lord is asleep, let's not make any noise."

"Oh!" The Flame Cub nodded quickly, and then said in a very low voice, "My lord is waiting for us outside, otherwise he would go to sleep in the house."

There is a very wide kang in the house where everyone lives, and they can roll around casually when lying on it.

The canopy bed on the train is very narrow, and it is not very spacious to sleep one person, let alone two people sleep on the bed now.

"Let's rest on the train too. Don't wake up your lord. We'll talk about it tomorrow." The flower tree cub said, "Come with me. I know that there is a carriage full of beds..."

The cubs passed by on tiptoe and saw that Jing Fengye was awake, so they nodded at him and left quietly.

On the second day, Yan Xun opened his eyes, feeling refreshed.

Looking at Jing Fengye again, he was still lying on his side, but his body was covered with a bedding, because the two of them were too close, and the bedding was enough.

"How did you sleep?" Yan Xun asked.

Jing Fengye looked at Yan Xun intently, and said, "I slept well."

"It's strange." Yan Xun kicked Jing Fengye's calf, got up and stretched himself, and squinted at Jing Fengye, "I'll go and see the cubs, you should rest more."

If Yan Xun had been lying on his side for a whole night without moving, he felt that half of his body would be useless.

As expected, Jing Fengye was lying flat under the quilt, her eyes were still looking at Yan Xun's side.

"It's all self-inflicted." Yan Xun ignored Jing Fengye.

The door of the carriage was unlocked, Yan Xun easily opened it, the inside was tidy, and there were several neat iron boxes, none of the cubs were there.

"My lord." The flower tree cub came out of another carriage, "Last night we saw that your lord had fallen asleep, so we went to find a place to rest."

"Yes." The black and white cubs also appeared.

The cubs didn't say they didn't wake Yan Xun on purpose, but Yan Xun knew what they were thinking, smiled, and said, "Come on, let's have breakfast first, don't worry about anything else."

Leading the cubs back to the house, Yan Xun cooked a big pot of pimple soup, the pork slices were fried thinly and sickly, and there were poached eggs one by one.

After breakfast, Yan Xun asked, "How is it?"

"Everything went well." The black and white cub said, "The materials we brought are very suitable, otherwise we wouldn't be able to make it at all."

"That's good." Yan Xun felt relieved.

He discussed many things with the cubs, the most important of which was how to use the Iron Claw Hyena.This kind of monster rushes to the city wall twice in three days. Although it is easy to kill with guns now, all Taoist soldiers must keep an eye on them, otherwise these iron-clawed hyena monsters will easily rush to the city wall.

The cubs discover the ironclaw hyena's weakness: a very fragile spine.

If you want to deal with the hyena monster using iron claws, you naturally have to start with this spine.However, once the existing bullet hits the iron claw hyena monster, it will directly explode the flesh and blood and kill it with one shot, which does not meet the requirements of the cubs.

So Yan Xun mentioned that the cubs should improve the formula of the bullet and recreate the bullet.

When they came to the border town, just in case, the cubs brought a lot of powder ground from the teeth of the bloodthirsty fish monster, and now they are using it.

The newly created bullets are only theoretically qualified, and they still have to be tried.

So Yan Xun took the cubs to the outer city wall again, this time Yang Qiong was still guarding the city wall, but the Taoist soldiers above changed a batch, and they were all new faces.

"Master Yan!"
