No matter how high a person's status is and how powerful he is, many things are helpless.
For example, giving birth to a baby once became a worry in Zhang Yi and Xiaoliu's mind. Oh, after Yue Ya'er, they heard that Anu was also pregnant.
Anu followed Niu Ben and settled in Shangluo City, taking charge of the cultural and educational work there. Niu Ben would go back to Chang'an every week to report to Zhang Yi and reveal the good news by the way.
Zhang Yi specially invited Niu Ben and Xiao Han to dinner at noon to celebrate their happy event. However, the dinner was held in a restaurant in Chang'an City, and Xiao Liu was not allowed to attend.
"Sister-in-law, this is so embarrassing. Hey, we should delay getting married for two years and wait until my sister-in-law has a child before we start a family." Niu Ben scratched his head and said.
"What nonsense are you talking about, Daniel," Zhang Yi said angrily, "Don't say such nonsense in the future. Is it a human being's decision to have a child?"
Xiao Han couldn't help but smile. What he said was obviously not appropriate. Of course, people can decide about having children. He thought maybe it was because he was too busy on weekdays.
"Brother Yi, can you rest and recuperate for a while?" Xiao Han suggested.
"I don't have time," Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "You all think I'm tired. The problem is, I'm not tired. Your sister-in-law said I'm as strong as a tiger."
"Haha, hahaha."
The three of them high-fived and laughed. They were all brothers who said such private words.
Then, Xiao Han said seriously again.
"Brother Yi, don't be careless. A few days ago, when Xiaolong came back from the mountains, we talked about it. Xiaolong said that Brother Yi was under great pressure and needed to be recuperated. Some things have nothing to do with his health."
Zhang Yi said that he was no longer confident. It might be due to insufficient rest or endocrine disorders. He understood the basic medical principles.
"Good guys, you are so busy right now and you are still discussing this kind of thing," Zhang Yi said with a smile, "I understand your kindness. When our fleet is built, I will rest for a few days and take your sister-in-law to the Zhongnan Mountains. It’s a vacation, don’t let anyone disturb you.”
"Okay, sworn brother, it's settled!" Niu Ben nodded.
"That's it. In addition, no matter how happy your sworn brother is in the future, don't get drunk. Alcohol can also have an impact on pregnancy." Xiao Han reminded.
Zhang Yi was speechless. When it came to drinking, Niu Ben drank more than anyone else. Why was he okay?
In short, people started to become suspicious because they didn't know what the problem was.
"Daniu," Zhang Yi said, "I have designated Ankang City as the shipbuilding base. You are going to move the Eastern Military Region Headquarters from Shangluo to Ankang. It is inconvenient for Anu to run around, so you ask her to come back to Chang'an. , and live in the palace with Yue Yaer."
"Okay, okay, I'm happy with it, but my sister-in-law doesn't feel uncomfortable when she sees it," Niu Ben said.
"This is what your sister-in-law means. It's easier to take care of two pregnant women together. You don't have to work outside with you. Just do some work within your ability in Chang'an. In addition, you can go back to Chang'an twice a month." Zhang Yi said.
Niu Ben nodded gratefully, sister-in-law is so kind.
Xiaoliu was anxious, but she was just worried that she couldn't get pregnant, but she was happy that Yue Ya'er and Anu were pregnant.
"By the way, Brother Yi, let me tell you some good news," Xiao Han said excitedly, "Brother Hu and I found a cannon pipe and shell casings from the previous era from the scrap metal pile yesterday."
"It's great, can it still be used?" Zhang Yi asked happily.
"After we remove the rust, we will check it again. If it is no longer usable, we can make it as a reference," Xiao Han said. "The quality will definitely be much worse, but it will be better than the ancient artillery. As for the rifle, it is relatively easy to make. .”
The technical difficulty of building artillery is much more difficult than that of building battleships.
Having specific physical objects as reference will speed up research and development.
In addition, the gunpowder developed by Xiaolong's team is no longer the primitive gunpowder of ancient times. He developed it based on the advanced gunpowder manufacturing technology of the previous era.
"The enemy has nothing but we have our strength," Zhang Yi said. "Let's build everything first. As for the quality, we can continue to upgrade it. In this way, we can completely catch the enemy off guard."
Xiao Han nodded repeatedly.
Although steam engines, generators, guns, etc. are all re-manufactured, there are various technical data from the previous era, so the speed of development will be very fast.
"I think it's a great move for Yige to set up the largest shipbuilding base in Ankang. If he sends all the talents to other places, he might be blamed for everything," Niu Ben said.
"Brother Niu is becoming more and more clever," Xiao Han praised, "Yes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. The Alliance Committee only formed cooperation on the surface and did not change the situation of the separation of the Three Kingdoms. .Of course, it is quite difficult for my sworn brother to be able to do this."
"Not only is it not easy, no one can do it except Yi Ge," Niu Ben said optimistically, "When we develop, we can scare the other two countries to death. By then, we may not even need to fight, and we can unify the three countries directly. Already."
"That's called deterrence." Zhang Yi said with a smile.
The three brothers drank some wine and chatted leisurely.
Suddenly, there was a conversation outside the door.
"Is Zhang Shoufu eating in the private room on the second floor?"
"Yes, yes, Your Highness Princess!"
The three of them stood up in a hurry. Xiao Han ran to the door like a gust of wind. As soon as he opened the door of the box, he saw Princess Xiaoliu striding in.
"Yi Ge, Daniu, Xiaohan," Xiao Liu said dissatisfied, "You three were drinking and eating outside, why didn't you call me?"
"Liu'er, we're just having a work lunch. Didn't I tell you?" Zhang Yi pulled Xiao Liu to sit down and said with a smile.
Xiao Han and Niu Ben were also smiling.
Xiaoliu can't be separated from Zhang Yi for a moment now, but she also has to deal with bank affairs, so it's common not to see her for a long time.
Zhang Yi asked someone to send a message that he and his brothers were having some food outside at noon. She was a little depressed and wanted to ask why he didn't ask her to eat with him.
Niu Ben hurried to the door and asked the waiter to add chopsticks, vegetables and juice.
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry, it's all my fault," Xiao Han explained, "Today I reported to my brother-in-law about the guns and cannons. They were all serious weapons. I was afraid that my sister-in-law would feel uncomfortable after hearing this. It was my fault, hahaha."
Xiao Han thought quickly and spoke rationally. Zhang Yi smiled and nodded.
"Xiaohan is such a person. He is careful in doing things and thinks about Liu'er, hahaha."
"I will punish Xiaohan with three glasses of wine and apologize to my sister-in-law," Niu Ben patted Xiao Han on the shoulder and laughed, "please bring me juice instead of wine. I will also toast you with three glasses of wine and thank you for your concern on Anu's behalf." "
"You are right to let Anu come back, Daniel. Also, Xiaohan, you are overthinking," Xiaoliu stopped being angry and said with a smile, "I wish we had a big killer, what's wrong with that? That's right. , I heard that the pot fish in this restaurant is good, I want to try it."
"Okay, let's have a piece of pot fish." Zhang Yi shouted.
"Okay, here's a piece of pot fish. Her Royal Highness the Princess said our pot fish is pretty good!" The waiter shouted excitedly from outside the door.
Several people laughed. This restaurant's pot fish will definitely become popular in the future.
