Chapter 131 Homecoming (2)

The next day, the snow stopped.

Liu Hongjian climbed the Taiyuan city wall, but saw that the world was white and all sounds were lonely.

"The scenery of the north is frozen thousands of miles away, snow falls thousands of miles away..."

Liu Hongjian believed that Grandpa Mao must have had such bold words after seeing this heroic journey with his own eyes. Any man with blood and ambition would feel a little moved when standing on this lonely city!

But ordinary people can only say, I am so spectacular! For example, the two behind me.

My eyes turned pale, what's so good about this?

Niu Zhuang behind him, Li Baida stood with AKM on his back, without saying a word. They didn't understand why the adults stood here to blow the cold wind in this cold weather.

Niu Zhuang's back was fine, but the weather was cold and it would take some time to fully recover. He couldn't stand the days of lying in bed like a corpse all day. After repeated requests, he finally changed into military uniforms.

"Sir, this day is colder than our capital! How nice it is to recite poems and recite them. Miss Xueer made you a fox fur coat. Don't you try it?"

Niu Zhuang rubbed his hands and said with a grin. A wound more than two inches long appeared on his right cheek. The blood scab had fallen off, revealing the purple-red tender flesh, which looked a little hideous.

"Just say more! The northwest of Shanxi is facing Mongolia, and it's even colder there. I heard that you have to bring a stick when you go to the toilet!" Liu Hongjian said jokingly.

In recent days, Yang Xue has been making a jacket for Liu Hongjian even without leaving home.

Even a rough man like Niu Zhuang began to sympathize with this girl who had been following Liu Hongjian from Liaodong and took care of the adults in every possible way. He didn't understand that such a delicate lady, and his uncle was always indifferent.

"What, I have to bring a stick when I go to the toilet. Why do I have to bring a stick?" Niu Zhuangda's eyes widened and asked seriously.

Liu Hongjian was too lazy to pay attention to him and signaled Li Baida to tell him.

The lines of Li Baida were not as thick as that. He couldn't see Liu Hongjian's teasing, and scratched his head and slapped his forehead.

"Stupid, it's such a cold day. Didn't you freeze into popsicles as soon as you pissed? You must use a stick to knock out the ice chips!"

Li Baida was very proud of his wit.

"It makes sense, it makes sense! But then wouldn't you freeze the hammer? What if it's a big one?"

Niu's feat was applied to the other side and gave out a series of new questions. Li Baida scratched his head again. Liu Hongjian ignored the stupid conversation between the two, wrapped his clothes and took the lead in the city wall.

"Sir, all the soldiers have been assembled and can set off at any time!" Chang Yu walked out of the city with white breath.

"Well, I'll go and do something in a quarter of an hour!"

A quarter of an hour later, when Liu Hongjian arrived outside the city, he had completely changed his outfit, wearing a brown-gray robe on his shoulders, and a square scalp hat made of a whole pure color fox skin.

Outside this pure white city, this outfit is so arrogant.

This is the first time Liu Hongjian has worn fur. When he touched it, he felt that his whole body was very warm. If there was another big dog, he would really call him "The left is yellow, the right is blue, the brocade hat and the sable fur, and the thousand riders rolled flat on the roof".

Two thousand soldiers from the Thousand Houses outside the city lined up in several arrays. Currently there are more than 600 Guanning heavy cavalry. The tall and strong Mongolian men are all wearing gold and silver armor.

These armors all come from the servants of the eight Shanxi merchants. Although the armors are of great quality, they are all made by the eight wealthy merchants who spent a lot of money to find skilled craftsmen to carefully make them. Their flexibility and defense are not inferior to those of the heavy armored cavalry in Liaodong.

Moreover, the stature is higher.

Previously, these golden and silver armor guards were the facades of the eight major Shanxi merchants. Now, Liu Hongjian's wedding dress is in the city. When the snow begins to clear, the golden and silver scales shine, and the domineering side leaks.

The heavy cavalry were followed by one hundred AKM shooters, and then they were all swords, shields, spearmen, and they lost their mounts.

There is no way, I have to pull things!

Ten days ago, Lao Bi started to organize and mobilized hundreds of wooden carts from nearby prefectures and counties. The property of the eight major Shanxi merchants was 80 to 90 million taels.

The grain was distributed, the silver was collected, and many small profiteers in Shaanxi and Shanxi, as well as the "treasury" of the Dashun Kingdom, gold and silver utensils gathered from all directions to Taiyuan Prefecture.

Including large objects such as pearl agate, there were more than 870 vehicles installed. Due to the high mountains and long roads, heavy snow blocking the road, and heavy metals (gold and silver) and various stones (jade agate, etc.), a horse could not pull it at all.

Many carriages were driven by two or even three horses together. As a last resort, some of the left-behind Liaodong cavalry also lost their mounts.

In addition to the original team of the Thousand Houses Institute, there were also three thousand Liaodong Iron Cavalry responsible for escorts.

The car Linlin and the horses were xiaopiao, and the convoy stretched for two or three miles like a dragon.

This is all about to leave. Are Lao Bi and the others so unsightly? It seems that I had drunk too much last night, and they didn’t come to see me. This is too ruthless!

Liu Hongjian rode on the horse and looked back at Taiyuan City. Yang Xue in the carriage also opened the curtain and looked out the window.

Fang Jingzi felt the cold, held the "white and black" treasured by his father Fang Xing in his hand, and rode a car with his "Boye spinning machine".

The spinning machine was made by Xiao Fang Fang Jingzi for more than a month. Originally Liu Hongjian meant that this was Xiao Fang's hard work and should be named by Xiao Fang.

But Fang Jingzi is quite stubborn, and the drawings were provided by Liu Hongjian. In his opinion, he was just a master of the spinning machine according to the map and was definitely not allowed to be the creator of the spinning machine.

In the end, Comrade Xiao Fang had a sudden inspiration and simply called it "Boye Spinning Machine". Of course, Boye is Liu Hongjian, the No. 1 Anguo!

The spinning machine was launched a hundred years ago in Europe, and this feat will be famous for all ages. It will also be recorded in history more than 500 years later:

In 1644, Liu Hongjian, the Anguo Bo of the Ming Dynasty, was extremely talented and ingenious. The "Boye spinning machine" he invented was a symbol of the revival of the Ming Empire and the beginning of the first industrial revolution.

"Let's go!" After staying in this land for too long, Liu Hongjian looked back at the white-covered Taiyuan City.

Unexpectedly, after just a few steps, someone shouted behind him.

"Stay at your fingertips!" A white-haired old man walked from the city gate and shouted loudly.

A group of ragged people rushed out from the East City Gate of Taiyuan.

"Great send to my uncle!"

"Great send to my uncle!"

"I wish you a hundred years of life and good health!"

"The mountains are high and the road is far away, so I'm good at walking the way!"

This group of people include old men with gray hair, young children of eight or nine years old, dozens of miners who were stained with coal ash from Qingyuan County, and hundreds of indigenous people in Taiyuan City bowed down.
