In the western suburbs of the capital, thirty miles outside Fucheng Gate.

Nowadays, things have changed a lot. There are people everywhere, shouting foremen, migrant workers pushing trolleys to transport sand, gravel and cement, sweating profusely, and little workers stirring cement with shovels, building walls.

The big work of laying bricks is so busy, it looks like a busy construction site

A large number of eunuchs, skilled palace craftsmen, and a large number of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry with limited household registration, all came here under Zhu Youxiao's order and gathered together. The huge number of people instantly overwhelmed the Tiangong.

The original management system of the workshop was destroyed. Countless people lived in a dense and messy environment. The entire huge scene only relied on the royal guards led by Luo Yangxing to maintain the basic order.

When Xu Guangqi came in mid-September, he was faced with such a chaotic scene. After cursing in his heart that the emperor was cheating, he threw himself into the extremely busy construction work.

He dismantled the entire Tiangong Workshop's original system, using these managers and craftsmen as the core backbone, absorbing prestigious and capable people from various groups, and built a new management system. After the establishment of the system from top to bottom

, Xu Guangqi began to use cement, which can be called an artifact, to start the expansion and construction of Tiangong Workshop.

Breaking mountains and blasting rocks, leveling land, firing cement, building kilns and firing bricks, production of original products, damming rivers and building turbines, shaft furnace iron and steel making, gun development, artillery casting, gunpowder production, and a series of complex tasks

Under Xu Guangqi's super capable command, the tedious matters were carried out in an orderly manner one by one and gradually got on the right track.

The entire capital's bureaucrats may be in panic, but the people at the bottom don't think so. On the contrary, they feel that this winter is particularly easy. The reason is that there is such a black hole in the western suburbs that attracts labor.

, With the strong support of Emperor Tianqi, Xu Guangqi opened up his business. In less than three months, half of his re-planned Tiangong Workshop was completed. It is expected that in another two months, the main building will be completed.

Finish.

When Zhu Youxiao arrived here, he saw an arms production base that was beginning to take shape. Wide cement roads, flat pavements, bright craftsmen's houses, tall and imposing cement dams, all in an orderly manner.

The fence is divided into functional areas.

Naturally, the emperor's travel was not simple, with complicated etiquette and cumbersome rituals. However, as a modern person, Zhu Youxiao, even after living in this era for more than ten years, was still not used to it. He traveled in a simple carriage and only brought about two hundred people with him.

The cavalry company paid a private visit incognito and came to the Tiangong Workshop, which had changed beyond recognition.

"The changes here are so big!" Looking at the surrounding environment, Zhu Youxiao seemed to be in a dream for a while. The place had completely changed. Except for the six-meter-high fenced area in front of him, which was vaguely familiar, other

There is absolutely no impression of the place.

"Let's go and have a look." After being in a daze for a while, Zhu Youxiao chuckled and walked forward.

First there was a magnificent gate with the words Tiangong Workshop written on it. This was the location of the original Tiangong Workshop, which was built under the supervision of Zhu Youxiao. It surrounded the four former industries. Now there are some changes here.

, the gate was rebuilt, widened, widened and talled, and some towers were built on the top of the city, with guards wearing swords and bows looming inside.

Before Zhu Youxiao could get closer, a group of uniformed guards quickly came out from the gate to block the way. Although they did not show their swords and guns, they also hinted at warning.

Li Tu immediately stepped forward and after showing his waist card, the intercepting Jin Yiwei quickly dispersed, and the leader quickly reported inside. Then, Xu Guangqi, dressed in gray and black, led a large group of people out to greet them.

"See you, old minister..." Xu Guangqi led the people and was about to kneel down to salute him. But before he could complete the action, Zhu Youxiao immediately reached out and quickly rolled the saddle and dismounted, stopping the movement of the crowd.

"I came here quietly today, don't make any noise, so as not to reveal my identity." Zhu Youxiao said with a friendly smile, and his attitude was like a spring breeze, which reassured the craftsmen who were trembling behind Xu Guangqi.

"In less than three months, Tiangong Workshop has become like this. It is simply a miracle. Compared to this, everyone must have suffered a lot." Zhu Youxiao walked inside with a smile.

As he walked and talked, he tried hard to recall the postures of the big guys on the news network. From time to time, he stopped to ask the dusty masters next to him.

The kind and kind attitude made these craftsmen who had never seen any big people feel very happy. They felt relieved and proud in their hearts. Many of them even said that they were embarrassed to speak. Xu Guangqi stood beside him, twisting his beard and watching with a smile.

He stood and did not come forward.

It wasn't until Zhu Youxiao had finished asking questions that he stepped forward, waved those people away, and everyone went back to their posts.

"Your Majesty is here for the flintlock rifle?" Xu Guangqi stepped forward with a smile and asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry. I'm very curious about the current layout of Tiangong Workshop. Aiqing might as well introduce it to me." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, indicating not to talk about it yet.

"Then please wait a moment, Your Majesty, let me arrange something." Xu Guangqi replied, and then gave instructions to the entourage behind him. After listening, the entourage nodded and accepted the order, and soon drove a car with a canopy.

The open-top four-wheeled carriage came over. It was a summer-type household carriage produced by Tiangong Workshop. It had a table with fixed seats and an ice room. After putting a bottle of wine on ice, you could enjoy the scenery and enjoy the scenery. It was quite comfortable.

"Your Majesty, please get in the car. It is inconvenient to ride a horse, so it is not as stable as a car." After saying that, Xu Guangqi took the lead and sat down on the car. Then he dug around under the table and took out a transparent glass bottle and a quilt. Look at his skill.

The action shows that this car obviously has a lot of passengers.

"This old man." Xu Guangqi's skillful and casual movements made Zhu Youxiao laugh and curse, which sounded like drinking beer and eating barbecue with gay friends in later generations.

Zhu Youxiao got on the carriage. Naturally, the driver could only be Li Tu. After the two of them were ready, he drove the carriage slowly and started moving forward, followed by two hundred cavalrymen.

The formation changed to protect the carriage in the middle without blocking the line of sight.

"Your Majesty's cavalry is really well-trained. I haven't seen such spirited soldiers for a long time." Looking at the skillful movements and high spirit of the knight outside the car, Xu Guangqi was quite emotional.

"Haha." Zhu Youxiao smiled but didn't say anything. Xu Guangqi was training in Tongzhou, but he couldn't succeed due to various reasons. Now seeing such capable troops, he was naturally a little confused. Not only him, but everyone in the world saw it.

It will all be like this, praise Qi Jiguang for being alive.
