Part 3 Chapter 9 Planning

It has been half a month since Chen traveled from Yun to Guangning. The biggest feeling in the past half month is that there are so many mosquitoes in Vietnam. I have smoked mugwort in the house more than ten times, and when I go to bed at night, there are still mosquitoes buzzing in my ears.

Hu Yu's work efficiency is still good. In a few months, a simple road from the exposed coal mine to the beach has begun to take shape. Chen Congyun praised Hu Yu for this matter.

With the sun and watching the eight thousand French prisoners of war construction rules, Chen Congyun was in a good mood. These days, Wu Yangzeng and Kuang Rongguang were the busiest ones, and they ran around with instruments every day, bringing Chen Congyun every day, which was good news. The coal mines in Guangning are amazing, including three exposed ore layers, and they are all high-quality anthracite. The roads have been built now. At that time, as long as the coal mine is sent to the dock through the road, the coal will be continuously exported to Vietnam.

But where is the dock? Even if there is a dock, how can the transport ships be solved? The problems follow one after another. Stephen, as a partner of Shen Congyun, seems to be not worried about this problem at all. He follows Wu Yangzeng and the others all day long. Can it be called a dock just by the beach where only a few small wooden fishing boats can be called a dock?

Hu Yu held a big watermelon and happily rushed to the clouds to enjoy the coolness under the shade of the trees. He received the praise and a thousand taels of silver reward, so he had to show his loyalty.

"Sir, eat watermelon! This Vietnamese watermelon seems to be able to grow at any time."

After taking the watermelon handed over by Hu Yu, Chen Congyun thought of the series of problems he was about to face and frowned. "Damn Zheng Guanying, it's been half a month since he set out, why haven't he arrived yet?"

"Hi! Your Excellency General! Guess what we have found?" Stephen, who was riding a short Yunnan horse, shouted at the far distance.

Chen Congyun didn't care what the kid found, but noticed Wu Yangzeng and Kuang Rongguang who followed him, both of them had happy smiles on their faces.

"Look, this is a high-quality phosphate-free iron ore, with a content of 75%. Do you know? What does this mean?" Stephen yelled at himself, regardless of whether Chen Congyun was listening or not.

Chen Congyun filtered out the kid directly, picked up two slices of watermelon and handed it to Wu Yangzeng and Kuang Rongguang: "Thank you for your hard work, eat watermelon, and take a break after eating it and talk about things."

After chewing the watermelon in three ores, Wu Yangzeng took out a few pieces of iron ore from the bag on his back and said, "Du Chen, I am very happy. Just in the mountains not far ahead, I roughly estimated that the content was no less than 75%. There is a coal mine nearby and a river water transportation. It is perfect to build a steel mill here."

After hearing Wu Yangzeng's words, Chen Congyun turned to Stephen and said, "Did you hear me? This is what professionals should say, and it is what I want to know the most."

Stephen shrugged and said, "Your Excellency, I have a suggestion, if I can successfully make a loan from the bank, can I add shares to me?"

Chen Congyun waved his hand and said, "This matter is waiting for my logistics minister to come. You guys go and discuss it. What I want to tell you now is that damn I need a dock now. I have visited the beach. Although there is a natural deep water port here, there are only a few wooden stakes tied to fishing boats by the beach."

Stephen laughed, tidied up his collar, and said with a smug smile: "Your Excellency, the one standing in front of you is a graduate of the Department of Architecture at Cambridge University. It is a simple task to design and build a dock. But the premise is that you have to have money, the money to build a dock."

Chen Congyun was most disgusted with this Jewish vampire. Thinking of the terrible family behind this guy, Chen Congyun was even more in a state of shady mood and looked at Stephen coldly and said, "You don't have to worry about money. You'd better come up with a design plan for me as soon as possible. Damn Vietnam, it seems that we are going to use ox carts and small wooden boats to transport the coal mines."

After saying that, Chen Congyun turned around and said to Wu Yangzeng: "Thank you two, and combine the actual situation of Guangning to come up with a development plan as soon as possible. You must have a plan for everything you do. You cannot think of anything you want. You must think of everything carefully before, so that you can be calm and relaxed whenever you want."

……………………

Returning to Hanoi from Guangning, he still didn't get the news that Zheng Guanying arrived. Chen Congyun's mood became more and more irritable. Everything was far from the same planning map. If the plan really became a reality, it would take a lot of effort. Chen Congyun now needs talents, three or five, army, three or five thousand, and silver, not much. Only the head of the company knows how expensive the firewood and rice are!

However, Chen Congyun still heard the good news. As soon as he returned to the headquarters that day, Ruan Xiaozhen greeted him with a smile. While serving Chen Congyun to change his shoes into the house, he excitedly said to Chen Congyun: "The father has officially appointed me as the prince, and the marriage is scheduled for the eighth day of next month."

"Yeah!" Chen Congyun responded, and after a while when he returned to the study, a knock came from the door. Chen Congyun lay tiredly on the chair and said, "Come in."

Wan Shusheng sneaked into the door, then sneaked to Chen Congyun, and laughed in a low voice: "Sir, I've got the things you asked me to do. I bought them back from Nanning for a lot of money." As he said that, Wan Shusheng took out a white porcelain bottle and put it on the table, and then looked at Chen Congyun with malicious intentions.

"Is this thing effective?" Chen Congyun was a little worried, and Wan Shusheng smiled proudly: "Don't worry, the guy who sells medicine has made a guarantee. Even if it is a dead snake, after eating this thing, it can be as hard as iron. You can use it with confidence and keep your vigor."

Chen Congyun Suan could hear the smell of this, and glared at him in anger, "What are you saying? I have no health problems, I have no problems at all three times a night. Grandma's, this good thing is cheaper than the King of Vietnam."

"Damn, Europe is underway to carry out the second industrial revolution, but I am going to open up land in Vietnam. Generators and internal combustion engines are about to be born, right?" Chen Congyun muttered to himself, watching the thousands of trees leave. As a time traveler, Chen Congyun's greatest pain is to clearly know the gap between China and the world, but he can only patiently find opportunities to catch up step by step.

The sky outside the window is covered with clouds, it is already 11 years old, and today's rainy season is coming to an end. It is necessary to build a back base of its own in poverty-stricken Vietnam. Chen Congyun started to do it and found that many things are easier said than done. Zheng Guanying has not arrived for a long time, and Chen Congyun was anxious and could not show it on his face. He has been in Vietnam again for almost two months. Except for the simple road built in Guangning, everything is still in a pioneering stage, and it can be said that nothing can be achieved.

The shaded sky seemed to be like Chen Congyun's mood, urgent and depressed. Chen Congyun felt a sense of chest tightness and his head became dizzy. Chen Congyun quickly turned around and sat in front of the window with a mop chair, staring at the messy city in front of him, and kept beating his forehead with one hand.

A pair of small hands appeared silently on Shen Congyun's temple, with his fingers trembling coldly and slightly rubbing slowly. Chen Congyun didn't have to look back, but he knew it was Ruan Xiaozhen. Since he sent someone to propose marriage and proposed to let Ruan Phuchyun be the prince, Ruan Xiaozhen's hostility towards Chen Congyun seemed to disappear. Every time he looked at Chen Congyun, there was a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

Ruan Xiaozhen never wears shoes in this room and does not make any noise when walking. Although Ruan Xiaozhen's feet are sky feet, they are not big and look very white and tender. Chen Congyun has the urge to hold those feet in his arms and play with them several times.

Ruan Xiaozhen's technique was quite good. Chen Congyun was very comfortable. He couldn't help but close his eyes and slowly leaned back his head. He didn't want to press it between the two soft balls. He felt that Ruan Xiaozhen seemed to twist her body a little uneasy, and then stopped moving and continued to rub Chen Congyun.

There was no quiet voice in the room. Such intimate gentleness appeared between the two of them. Chen Congyun's mouth was a pity. Now Ruan Xiaozhen can accept herself, but she just doesn't know if she can do it in the future. Chen Congyun's plan is that she will never change any changes because of Ruan Xiaozhen. To be precise, Chen Congyun will not change the life trajectory he chose for any woman. Chen Congyun must follow the established goal and eliminate all obstacles. Even if he becomes a lonely man one day, he will not give up.

The rare warm scene didn't last long. The knock at the door broke the tranquility in the study. Ruan Xiaozhen retreated to the side like flowing water. When Chen Kounyun turned around, he saw the bright redness on Ruan Xiaozhen's face had not yet dissipated.

The person who came was Zhan Tianyou, and after entering the door, he stood silently at the door. Chen Congyun understood that he was because Ruan Xiaozhen was there, so he looked at Ruan Xiaozhen with a smile and said, "Go down and pour two cups of tea."

Ruan Xiaozhen said "yes" and went out as if she was running away.

"Da Chao, come in and talk." As Chen Congyun said that, he returned to the desk and sat down. Zhan Tianyou turned around and pushed the door up, walked to Chen Congyun, and took out a stack of silver dollars from his pocket.

Chen Congyun felt excited and slowly picked up a silver dollar and looked in his hand for a while. It was exactly the same pattern as the one Zhan Tianyou had brought before.

"How is the output?" Chen Congyun suppressed his excitement and asked slowly.

"Now, we have made a total of thirty molds. If there is enough manpower and uninterrupted manual production, we can do more than 2,000 every day."

The silver dollar was in his hand and the heart was cold. Chen Congyun seemed to see the day when such silver dollar was circulating nationwide in the future.

"It's not enough. Expand production as soon as possible. I will give you as many people as possible. No matter what method you use, all the deposited silver in the warehouse will be made into silver dollars within two months."

……………………

When Chen Congyun was struggling in Vietnam, Yuxiu, who was far away in Beijing, felt a little like living like a year. After sending Chen Congyun to Vietnam, Cixi began to care about Yuxiu's marriage. She asked Yuxiu to enter the palace several times and said that she would give Yuxiu his own home, but Yuxiu refused every time.

The leaves of several trees in the yard have turned yellow, trembling in the bleak autumn wind. Occasionally one or two pieces fall, fluttering in the wind, as if they were in a beautiful mood, and I don’t know where they will fall.

At noon, Yuxiu's father said that he would marry Yuxiu this year, saying that this was what Lao Fu meant and was deciding to Yuxiu. The news was like a thunderbolt. When he returned to the room, Yuxiu sat in front of the window for the whole afternoon without moving.

"Chen Congyun, Chen Congyun, where are you?" Yu Xiu murmured in a low voice, his heart rolling.

The sky gradually darkened, and the supper brought by the maid Xiaoju was placed on the table without even moving a chopstick. The lights in the boudoir were on all night, and several servants who were responsible for looking at Yuxiu, otherwise they would sigh when they saw the lights in the boudoir. If this master was a good person and was kind to his subordinates, it was a pity that he was a daughter, and he could not decide the major marriage matters.

When it was dawn, the sleepy servants who had been on for a while, looked at the lights in the boudoir and felt relieved that another night of peace had passed.

When it was noon, a scream suddenly came from the backyard: "Grandpa! Grandpa is gone."

The mansion suddenly became a mess, and it was a mess for the whole morning. But he didn't see Princess Yuxiu's shadow. He just found a ladder in the back garden and immediately reported to the office at home.

The yamen runners all over Beijing were sent out for three days, but they were as beautiful as rocks and could not be found.

…………………………

Chen Congyun had no idea about Yuxiu's disappearance. As the date of Chen Congyun's concubine approached, Yuxiu seemed to gradually fade out of Chen Congyun's life.

It is a very new thing for the Vietnamese princess to be a concubine for Chen Congyun. Such a shameless thing, the Vietnamese king naturally did not want to make trouble all over the world, so the Vietnamese king expressed his implicitly that he would just set up two tables of wine in private. Chen Congyun accepted it happily, just asked the logistics officer to prepare enough pork at that time so that the brothers could have a good meal.

Unfortunately, on a dark night, the Vietnamese king was struggling with his favorite concubine for a long time. In the middle of the night, a creepy scream came from the palace. In recent days, the Vietnamese king, who had performed extremely bravely in bed, lay on the concubine naked and kept twitching, rolling his eyes, and foaming at the mouth. The Vietnamese king suffered a stroke!
