Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 172 Red Packet
"That's really great!" The officials of the Ryukyu Publicity Office were overjoyed.Now they can be regarded as a little more down-to-earth.After all, the Ryukyu Islands were the furthest away from Chu Yun and the others, and it was very dangerous to be flanked by Dongying and Yizhou.

After the officials from the Ryukyu Xuanzheng Office finished their report, Chu Yun scanned the crowd and saw Stephenson who hadn't shown his face for a long time.He couldn't help thinking of the construction task of the railway from Tieshan to Gaizhou that he had arranged for him, and he didn't know what was going on now.The train is one of Chu Yun's pursuits. After all, it is too painful to travel long distances in a horse-drawn carriage.

"Mr. Stephenson, I wonder how the Gaizhou railway section is doing now?" Chu Yun asked Stephenson.

"Thanks to the full support of adults, we have no shortage of funds and manpower, and the progress is faster than expected. However, it was about to be completed, but it has stalled..." Stephenson said awkwardly.

Hearing the stagnation of the railway project, Chu Yun felt tense and asked, "Why did it suddenly stagnate?"

"Uh... because of the holiday, the workers are all on vacation, so the project naturally needs to be suspended." Stephenson said.

Fuck it, scare me.Chu Yun couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"Haha." Everyone at the venue couldn't help but smile knowingly.Maybe Stephenson couldn't understand Ming's obsession with traditional festivals like the Zhengdan Festival.

"After the completion of the project, I will take everyone to attend the opening ceremony of the Gaizhou Railway," Chu Yun said.

"Yes!" Stephenson patted his chest, "I guarantee that the first railway in the world will be safe!"

In fact, there seems to be no major incidents in each department, but the development time is still short. As long as there is enough time, all problems can be solved easily.

After reporting on the work, Chu Yun talked about the situation in the world with many high-level executives, and chatted about household chores in order to promote their relationship.At the same time, the housekeeper and servants in Chu Yun's mansion were busy preparing for tonight's banquet.Those who came to the mansion were all powerful figures of the Liao Army, and it was a year-end dinner, so they couldn't be sloppy at all.

Not only Zuixianglou, but other restaurants in Jinzhou City were urgently mobilized to prepare the banquet for the officials in Chuyun Mansion and the surrounding houses.

In addition to the preparations for the banquet, safety work is also the top priority. Ella, the director of the intelligence department, personally sits in the town to observe the movements near Chu Yun's mansion.Many staff members of the Intelligence Department wore plainclothes and acted as small business peddlers to monitor all possible suspicious persons nearby.

There is even an army stationed near the mansion in order to deal with any situation that arises at any time.

However, the Jianzhou Jurchen didn't have the strength to attack Chu Yun's mansion under such tight defenses. They simply couldn't gather that kind of power. After all, with the defeat of the Jianzhou Jurchen, many spies who were stranded in southern Liaoning were not found. He fled back to the north overnight.

As night fell gradually, Chu Yun's mansion and the surrounding streets were lit with lanterns, and it was very lively and full of wine.Even the people in Jinzhou City sang and danced, took out stored grain and brewed wine, and brought relatives and friends to spend the night together.

"I don't drink well, I'm afraid I'll forget it when I get drunk, so before the start, I will distribute the year-end bonus to you, everyone has a share, and it will never fail!" Chu Yun took out a stack of red paper from his arms "Don't look at the thinness of each red paper, there are bank notes of Kyushu Bank inside, and there are hundreds of taels at least, which are given according to everyone's performance. In order to take care of everyone's feelings, I hope you will open it after you go back. Open. If you feel less, you can come to me at any time."

At least a few hundred taels!Almost all the senior executives were staring at the red envelope in Chu Yun's hand.Damn, I don't know how many red envelopes I will get?

"Chen Ting, here is your red envelope." Chu Yun handed a red packet to Chen Ting.

Chen Ting took Chu Yun's red envelope with trembling hands, tears streaming down his face.A man in his early fifties, he originally thought that his official career in Daming had come to an end, but he didn't expect Chu Yun to come down from the sky, and he followed him to his current position, how could he not be grateful.

"Thank you, my lord." Newton, the leader of the Natural Science Department of the Academy of Sciences, accepted the red envelope curiously.This is the first time he has received a traditional red envelope from the Ming Dynasty as a Westerner
Although Chu Yun asked everyone to go back and open the red envelopes, as a Westerner, Newton seemed to be used to opening gifts face to face, but Chu Yun said something beforehand, so Newton had to compromisingly glance inside for the amount of the bank note.

Well, not bad... Boss Newton showed a satisfied smile.

This guy is going to make a fortune!Seeing the smile on Newton's face, the others knew that the amount in the red envelope he received must be quite large.

The other high-ranking Han people were more reserved, and if they agreed not to read it, they would not read it, so they had to accept the red envelope eagerly, and have a look at it when they go back.

"Everyone, let's raise our glasses and have a drink. After Zhengdan, we need everyone to work harder to make our people in southern and eastern Liaoning live a better life. The year-end awards at this time next year will be even richer." Chu Yun raised his wine glass .

"Cheers to the future of the Liao Army!" All the senior officials stood up together, raised their white porcelain wine glasses, and toasted Chu Yun.

A group of people toasted and chatted with each other.Those officers talked about how they beat up the Jianzhou Jurchen on the battlefield, all of them were magnificent, and they even slapped the table and shouted when they were excited.The civil servants, on the other hand, chanted poems, played with drinking orders, and chatted about some interesting things from time to time.Scientists and engineers naturally discussed some topics of technical exchanges, and they had a great time.

After an hour, many people were completely drunk.

"I said, Mr. Niu, are you still used to our Ming's spirits?" Mrs. Yang, the current brigade commander of the First Infantry Brigade, staggered to the side of the Academy of Sciences, hooked Newton's shoulders and asked, reeking of alcohol.

belch.Newton's cheeks flushed when he was drunk, and he hiccupped. The white hood on his head had been torn off by him at some point, and he shook his head and said to Mrs. Yang, "Da Ming's wine is strong enough!"

"Hahaha, I think your Western wine is drunk by those women. You can't drink enough. How about we make a bowl of white wine, do you dare?" Mrs. Yang said.

"Why don't you dare! Today I want to show you our strength!" Newton heard Mrs. Yang's disdain, his cheeks flushed, "Whoever loses is a puppy!"

"I dare not let the head of a department of the Academy of Sciences say that I am a puppy. How about this, the loser loses ten taels of silver to the winner." Mrs. Yang said.

"No problem!" Newton said stubbornly.

"Then here we come!" Mrs. Yang put the small wine glass in her hand aside, and then poured the two bowls of side dishes into other bowls, and there were two empty bowls.

Then he filled two empty bowls with white wine, and pushed one bowl in front of Newton: "Let's finish this bowl, and the fastest one wins!"

When Newton saw such a large bowl of wine in his drunken eyes, he couldn't help being stunned, "This... this bowl is too big, hey..."
