My son A Fei has the appearance of a sword master

Chapter 121 The Sacred and Glorious Mission The Steam Era Arrives
Early the next morning, Wang Lianhua and Panda'er set off south with Wang Zhi and the others. Wang Zhi only took the group of Xichang stalls with him, but Jin Yiwei did not follow them.

The Jinyiwei came to pick up the more than 900 orphans. They were not part of the imperial envoys who announced the decree, so there was no need to follow them to Jiangnan.

Because they had to rush back immediately after receiving the order, the two of them did not let anyone else follow them.

The reason why Panda'er followed him back was because he wanted to inform his adoptive father about his plans to get married.

As the saying goes, "There are three types of unfilial piety. The greatest is not having any descendants, and marrying without telling someone is the worst." So this kind of thing must be reported to your elders, unless you no longer have any elders.

Now that his identity has been revealed, everyone knows that he is the cupbearer of the Happy Throne, and there is no need to hide it anymore.

The same goes for Wang Lianhua. If he wants to tell his parents about Liu Yuru, then Happy Wang will have to send someone to Huashan to deliver the betrothal gift, which is not as simple as Panda'er and Bailing.

After Wang Zhi and his party left, Li Tianxin went to find Tang Xin again.

The craftsmen and workers in Fenyang are lucky this year because they have endless work to do.

Endless work is not a good thing, especially for those who serve in corvee labor.

But when this job was given by Master Tianxin of the Zhu Mansion, it became a good thing.

Because corvee is unpaid labor, Master Tianxin's work is paid, and the rewards are so generous that they can't believe it.

Endless work means a steady stream of income.

Taibai Village has been completed and accepted, and the craftsmen and small workers have earned money that they could not earn in the past few years.

Feixianmen station is under construction, but it is done by another group of people. The craftsmen who built Taibai Village were originally working on it. Unfortunately, the project has been completed and they will lose such a good job.

But after a few days of idle time, the county magistrate called them together again, because Master Tianxin had a bigger project that he wanted to entrust to them.

When hearing the news, the craftsmen present cheered.

Li Tianxin's love value, which had been growing steadily but not very fast, surged.

More love points mean more elixirs and natural treasures.

Due to the big data push function of the system, since none of the poisons drawn in his system packages have been touched, the poisons obtained through draws are getting less and less.

Recently, poisonous medicines have almost ceased to be produced, and only beneficial medicines such as Yijin Tuogu Dan, Yiqi Dan, Jinshu Yao, Peiyuan Dan, and Dahuan Dan have been released.

The industrial park that Li Tianxin wants to build includes several factories covering an area of ​​no less than ten acres, residential buildings enough to accommodate 3000 people, and various supporting buildings.

This is a big project, several times larger than Taibai Village and Feixianmen combined, and enough for Fenyang craftsmen to work on for more than half a year.

After working for more than half a year, the wages they received were enough to cover their living expenses for more than ten years.

The third deserted village is located twelve miles northwest of Fenyang City, close to the Yumen River. The terrain is flat and the geographical conditions are extremely superior. It is a perfect location for the construction of an industrial park.

The reason why this place was abandoned is because the villagers' conditions improved and they gradually moved to live in towns, and the village gradually became depopulated.

……

At the Fenyang Villa in Happy City, Li Tianxin gathered the more than 900 orphans.

He said to the orphans: "Sisters, I have come here today to tell you some news. Now there is a sacred and glorious mission that needs to be entrusted to your hands."

"Of course, I will not force you. I never force anyone. Whether you are willing to take on this mission or not is up to you to choose after you hear what I have to say."

After a pause, he asked the orphans with a solemn expression: "Do you know why there are so many refugees and bandits in this world?"

Of course, he didn't expect the orphans to answer this question, so after asking this question, he gave the answer himself.

"Because there are many corrupt officials, local tyrants and evil gentry in this world. They annex the land and property of the people, causing the people to lose their livelihood."

"When there was a natural disaster and the imperial court distributed relief food, they embezzled the food, leaving the people completely without a way to survive..."

Li Tianxin didn't say any big principles. He just used a series of examples to tell them about the harm caused by corrupt officials and local tyrants and evil gentry to the people.

"In order to change all this, the emperor decided to establish the Department of Integrity and the West Police Factory..."

Li Tianxin also explained the situation of the Integrity Department and Xichang to the orphans in detail.

After telling the girls exactly everything, he finally said: "Whether you are willing to become a secret agent of Xichang and uphold justice for the people of the world is up to you."

"Those who are willing to become secret agents of the West Factory should stand still; those who are not willing, stand to the right."

"For those sisters who don't want to go, I will arrange a job for you in the future so that you can support yourself and live out the rest of your life in an ordinary way."

"Sisters who are willing to become secret agents of Xichang, someone will pick you up and take you to the capital to learn the skills that secret agents need to master."

"Now, please make your choice."

No one moved. One was Li Tianxin's speech, which was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that the girls deeply felt the glory and sacredness of this profession.

Furthermore, they were all in ruins, and it was a fluke that they survived, but even if they survived, they were destined to live a life inferior to others.

But becoming Xichang secret agents gives them the opportunity to change their destiny. Even if they don't become masters, they can at least live with dignity.

So no one moved.

When Li Tianxin saw this, he didn't say anything more, but clasped his fists and bowed deeply to them, saying loudly: "Sisters, on behalf of all the people in the world, I thank you."

……

A few days later, Zhu's Mansion held a small party because Li Tianxin's birthday was coming and he finally turned one year old.

On this night, the four women of spring, summer, autumn and winter completed their transformation from young girls to young women.

Nearly a month later, Wang Zhi, Wang Lianhua, and Panda'er returned to Fenyang through the first snow of this year.

A few days later, Shen Lang and Zhu Qiqi, Panda'er and Bai Ling got married on the same day.

As his brother-in-law and good brother, Li Tianxin gave each of them a house, just across the street from Zhu's Mansion.

A son-in-law is always nice to say or not to say. Although Shen Lang didn't marry into Zhu's house, he lived so close to her, so there wasn't much difference between him and his wife. Zhu Fugui could be regarded as the son-in-law.

This is also the reason why Li Tianxin was willing to spend three times the price to buy the two houses opposite the Zhu Mansion.

After all, the people living in this area are either rich or expensive, and they are not short of three times the rent.

But this was Li Tianxin's face, and the owner of the house was still very willing to give it.

After Shen Lang and Panda'er got married, Wang Zhi took the Jin Yiwei to escort the nine hundred orphans back to Beijing.

Nearly two hundred carriages formed a huge convoy, heading towards the capital in a mighty manner.

Once they are gone, the fate of these orphan girls will completely change, and they will become the nightmare of corrupt officials in the world.

... As winter turned to spring, Renyi Villa held a group wedding that caused a sensation in the world and made the entire world talk about it.

More than 100 iron cavalrymen got married to more than 100 heroines at the same time. This time the wedding took place in Taibai Village.

The girls stayed in Zhu's Mansion all day, and then the iron cavalry set off from Taibai Village to take them back to Taibai Village.

From now on, this place will become the place where the Iron Cavalry is passed down from generation to generation.

More than 100 sedan chairs dazzled the people of Fenyang, and the entire city of Fenyang was immersed in joy.

Because during this period of time, the Zhu Mansion not only set up a large banquet, but also invited many theater troupes from surrounding prefectures to set up stages and sing operas.

After the wedding of the century, Renyi Villa sent out a message to the entire world, recruiting heroines to participate in the blind date conference on the seventh day of July this year.

From now on, every year's blind date conference will be held on Chinese Valentine's Day.

At the same time, Renyi Villa also issued a recruitment order for the iron cavalry. It was rare for Jianghu knights to become an iron cavalry. Not only did they marry a wife, but they also gave away the house and property, and they immediately flocked to the place.

The craftsmen who completed the construction of Feixianmen then invested in the expansion project of Taibai Village.

Taibai Village, which was originally a small village, is developing into a township.

The following administrative divisions of Daming County are set as follows: four households are neighbors, five neighbors are [-] households, five li are [-] households, five li are [-] households, and two townships are [-] households are towns.

The establishment of a thousand-household iron cavalry station has a total of 120 and 120 people. After all of them are married, there will be [-] and [-] households, which seems to have reached the level of a town.

In mid-March, Bai Feifei went into labor and gave birth to Qilin for Li Tianxin. This time, Li Tianxin did not hold a banquet, but just invited relatives and friends to get together and have a meal together.

Everyone can also understand Li Tianxin. In his position, there are many people who admire him, but there are also many enemies.

The reason for not making a big deal is to protect the children. No one dares to take action against the Great Ming Sword God, but aren't his relatives and children the best targets?

Therefore, there are only a few dozen people who know the existence of Li Tianxin's son, and there is no relevant news at all in the world.

On the seventh day of July, the second Wulin Blind Date Conference came as scheduled, and more than [-] Jianghu heroines signed up.

Some of them are the daughters of martial arts masters, some are from escort agencies, some are from Jianghu gangs, and some are from various sects.

There are even some families with limited financial resources who are willing to spend a lot of money to let their daughters or granddaughters go to martial arts schools to learn martial arts in order to have their daughters or granddaughters marry into Renyi Villa.

Although you won’t be able to achieve anything in just a few months, it would be good to learn a few tricks and embroidery. If you can’t participate this year, you can participate next year.

After all, Renyi Villa has no requirements for the martial arts skills of the heroine, as long as she has a good appearance, a clean fortune, and knows how to punch and kick.

As a result, Xiong Zhen's Yangwei Martial Arts School and other martial arts masters who opened martial arts schools made a fortune.

For these apprentices who want to marry into Renyi Villa and fly on the branches to become phoenixes, the martial arts school does not need to teach them any real skills.

Teach some good-looking tricks and tricks, and you'll get a lump sum of tuition, just like picking it up for free.

The more than 400 iron cavalry reserve members at Renyi Villa have all become official members.

At the same time, about [-] young warriors were recruited from the martial arts world, and Li Tianxin finally had a full force of cavalry for a thousand households.

Hidden Sword Villa has another income, after all, the full set of equipment of the Iron Cavalry is not cheap.

The second blind date conference will no longer be held like the first one. Instead, a number of people corresponding to the number of heroines will be selected from the iron cavalry for matching blind dates.

People are selected based on age, regardless of anything else, and older people are given priority to participate.

The success rate of blind dates is still quite high, basically reaching [-]%. The remaining [-]% of matched couples who are not satisfied can approach the organizer and ask for rematching.

At the end of the day, the success rate is basically [-] to [-], because among the nearly a thousand unmarried cavalry, you can always find the one that the heroine likes.

Li Tianxin thought that when everyone in the Iron Cavalry got married, Renyi Villa would no longer hold blind date conferences.

At that time, the hosting rights can be transferred to Ouyang Xi, and blind dates can be organized for a fee, which will be equivalent to the marriage agency in future generations.

By then, Ouyang Xi no longer needs to organize blind dates only for men and women in the world, anyone can pay to sign up.

In this era where getting married depends entirely on luck, and you don’t even know what your partner looks like before getting married, the emergence of blind date conferences can be said to be an epoch-making breakthrough.

I believe there will be a huge market for it once it is launched, and then Li Tianxin will just have to sit back and wait for the money to be split with Ouyang Xi.

……

Shortly after the blind date meeting, Wang Lianhua asked Happy King to send people to Huashan to recruit Liu Yuru and marry her back home.

Wang Lianhua no longer lives in Fenyang. After drinking Ah Fei's full moon wine, he has returned to live in Happy City, Suzhou. He only comes to Fenyang occasionally to get together with a group of good friends.

The disciples of the Feixian Sect began to practice hard behind closed doors. The industrial park also completed its acceptance inspection in August. The Daming Factory was officially established. The Ordnance Bureau moved into the factory and was patrolled and guarded by iron cavalry in shifts.

Li Tianxin also plunged into scientific research, but he was different from those scientific madmen. The most important thing to him was always his family and life.

Therefore, he strictly abides by the eight-hour work system and only goes to the factory to work for four hours a day. The rest of the time belongs to his family.

On the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month in the third year of Chenghua, Zhu Jianshen reached his crown, and Li Tianxin gave him the best gift.

After four months of cooperation with craftsmen from the Ordnance Bureau, the first mature steam engine in Ming Dynasty was officially launched.

Since then, the Ming Dynasty has set off a raging industrial revolution.

Spinning machines, steam lathes, steam bench drills and other epoch-making mechanical products came out of the factory one after another.

The invention of cement caused the construction and transportation industries of Ming Dynasty to develop like a rocket.

The first cement highway built in the Ming Dynasty was from Beijing to Fenyang.

Li Tianxin was not in a hurry to invent new guns and artillery, because there had been no major wars in the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years. There was no need to waste resources on these products that were destined to be eliminated by the times.

He wanted to directly manufacture breech-loading guns and breech-loading cannons after the overall industrial level of Ming Dynasty improved.

With the current development speed of Ming Dynasty, he is sure to produce 98K and AK47 within a few years.

In fact, the rifle is not difficult to make. Even if it is made in a blacksmith shop and polished by hand, Li Tianxin can still make 98K.

But just making a gun is useless. The difficulty lies in the bullets. The primer of the bullet is a very delicate thing, and it is simply unrealistic to rub it by hand.

Maybe it takes a craftsman ten and a half days of manual work to make a primer for a bullet, so that's of some use.

Li Tianxin planned to use several years to develop the steam industry, and when the industrial level was sufficient, he would develop rifles and Maxim.

The next step is to start exploring Southeast Asia, because if you want to advance the steam age to the electric age, rubber is indispensable. After all, the outer sheath of the wire needs to be made of rubber.

When the Ming Dynasty enters the electrical age, its technology will be 400 years ahead of the Western powers. By then, the entire world will tremble under the Ming Dynasty's powerful ships and cannons.
