Chapter 030 Cuiping Mountain Ghost Valley

Zhao Yulin took her to Beggar's Chicken and asked her to get some incense, candles, money and paper to burn some incense for his brother.
The two walked into the cemetery and came to Ma Jin's grave. The whole grave was covered with green grass. Zhao Yulin lit candles, burned incense, burned paper money, and pulled Ma Ling to bow three times to Ma Jin. The two bowed to each other face to face. Zhao Yulin deliberately bumped Ma Ling'er's head and said, "It's all right now. I've completed the wedding ceremony in front of your brother. You are my woman now."
Ma Ling'er's face flushed and she said with a smile that the third young master had so many ideas.
Zhao Yulin glared at her and asked her what her name was.
The little girl bit her lips and uttered the word "husband" from her throat.
Zhao Yulin picked up Ma Ling'er by the waist and turned her around three times, then fell on Ma Jin's grave, pulled Ma Ling against his chest, and said, "Let's talk it over together..."
Zhao Yulin told Ma Ling that she would be the captain of the wharf, as it was his brother's wish. He asked her to hand over the Beggar Chicken to Duan Xiaolin, and go to manage the wharf together with Wu Yuqi, and then get married in two years.
The little girl shyly agreed happily.
He pulled Ma Ling'er out of the cemetery, called all the guards together, pointed at Ma Ling'er and shouted "Sister-in-law."
After one pass he said, "Not loud enough, did you say you didn't have breakfast?"
This time Xia Dingtian took the lead and yelled "sister-in-law" three times. Zhao Yulin looked at Ma Ling'er, whose face was broken with laughter, and said, "Your sister-in-law is very satisfied. Let's have beggar's chicken for lunch."

Now the soldiers were happy and they kept shouting at their sister-in-law to walk slower and be careful with her steps to cheer her up.
Zhao Yulin asked everyone to sit down in the pavilion by the river and also called Wu Yuqi to come over for dinner.
Duan Xiaolin immediately brought wine and food. Ma Ling'er sat beside him with a happy face, enjoying being called sister-in-law.
After dinner, Zhao Yulin was about to cross the river, and Ma Ling'er followed him all the way. Zhao Yulin laughed at her and said that they couldn't be separated. The little girl, with a red face, pretended to hit him.
He told Wu Yuqi to be careful and not to work too hard, and to find two orderly soldiers to help.
Wu Yuqi rolled her eyes at him, leaned on Ma Ling'er and said that he was a playboy and should just mind his own business.
Zhao Yulin waved goodbye and stepped onto the boat.
Sitting in the cabin, he looked at the ships coming and going in the emerald Sanjiangkou, the busy cargo terminal, and the smoking iron and cement workshops on the riverside. He wondered whether he should build a Ghost Valley, similar to the Valley of Wisdom in later generations?
He wanted to transform the advanced technologies and theories of later generations into results, and combine them with the actual situation of the Southern Song Dynasty to accelerate technological progress.
He did what he said and went to find Chen Xian as soon as he got off the boat. He believed that this man who had always wanted to make a musket must be a wise man with ideas.
Chen Xian was very happy to see him coming, and took him to see the newly built forging machine in Chaoyang Valley. The large water wheel was driven by hydraulic power and rotated very fast with the support of bearings. The eccentric shaft drove the big hammer to hammer the iron parts. The workshop was filled with rumbling sounds.
Zhao Yulin told him that it was not possible to make an iron gun barrel at the moment, but it was possible to make an iron barrel-shaped cannon barrel.
They returned to the workshop, and Zhao Yulin drew a picture of the cannon made by the Rabbit ancestors of later generations using a gasoline barrel from the US Army. Zhao Yulin briefly explained the operating principle and Chen Xian understood it. He excitedly said that he would start working immediately and guaranteed that he would finish it in three days.
What's the hurry, Zhao Yulin?
He was thinking of finding a quiet place to organize those craftsmen who loved invention and creation to engage in the manufacture of new tools and equipment, such as lathes, drilling machines, diamonds, etc. There would be many new things needed in the future.
Chen Xian understood what he said as soon as he heard it and immediately raised his hands in agreement.
Indeed, it would be impossible for just a few of them to handle the work, and building a place like Guigu would have a very different effect.
At the meeting in the evening, Zhao Yulin told his idea that he planned to clear a piece of land in the upper reaches of Chaoyang Valley to completely shield it and build Cuiping Mountain Ghost Valley, so that famous people from all over the world could be invited to invent and create new technologies and new equipment.
Zhu Congwen was the first to raise his hand in agreement. He explained Zhao Yulin's idea, and everyone quickly reached a consensus and decided to do it.
The manager of the new wharf said that there are more and more cargo ships coming to Sanjiangkou now. Some of them are stranded at the wharf with cargo for more than a month, taking up a large space and affecting shipping safety.
The shopkeeper of the dock business said that the goods of these merchants were of high price and low quality and had no competitive advantage, so they could not accept them.
Zhao Yulin thought about it and asked the ship owners at the dock to be notified that the dock would charge them berth occupancy fees. If they moved into the port and occupied the berths and did not leave, they would be wasting the limited resources of the dock.
At the same time, he asked the docks and trading companies to grade the cargo owners and implement point management. With 10 as the full score, high scores were given to those with good quality goods, and points were deducted for those who engaged in counterfeiting and shoddy goods, until they were removed from the list of cargo owners.
In this way, those ship owners who cannot afford to tow will naturally leave, and the cargo owners will know that they have to be scored and rated, so they will definitely continue to work hard to do their best.
Chen Xiaomin was very curious about his new concept and asked him several questions, such as how to select options, evaluation criteria, etc. Zhao Yulin said that the situation of each matter is different, and it should be done in accordance with its own characteristics, so that it will be more effective.
After the meeting, he asked Lei Man, Zhu Congwen, Lu Youpeng and Chen Xiaomin to stay and said that the Shenwei Army was growing bigger and bigger, and it was inevitable that it would attract the attention of various forces. We cannot be deaf and blind and be led by others.
Zhu Congwen said that the Shenwei Army must establish its own intelligence network, collecting and grasping information from Lin'an in the east to the desert in the north, from Tubo in the west to Dali in the south. Is this what the Third Young Master meant?
Zhao Yulin nodded and said cautiously that this was the top secret of the Shenwei Army and must not be revealed to anyone. First, a Shunfeng Department should be set up and Brother Lu should be the general manager, who will be responsible for collecting intelligence to serve the Shenwei Army. The money that should be spent should be spent directly in the accounting office and there is no need to report the details.
He looked at Chen Xiaomin and said, "Remember this." The little girl stuck out her tongue.

Zhao Yulin asked Lu Youpeng to recommend someone to take over his affairs and build Shunfeng Place as soon as possible.
After everything was settled, he went back to rest, but saw Chen Zhongshun's bodyguard Qu Zhengyang guarding the door. When he saw him, he said that the master of the house invited him to have tea.
Damn, what's going on?
As Zhao Yulin followed, his heart began to beat nervously.
When I entered the small living room, I saw Chen Xiaomin's master Qu Zhengxiang was also there. He sat down and asked what was the matter.
Qu Zhengyang said that the news spread all over the docks in Jiangbei that afternoon that his brother had married Ma Ling'er, and people were calling her sister-in-law. Is that true?
Zhao Yulin then remembered and nodded, saying that Ma Jin had made some instructions before his death. He said that although Ma Jin's two sisters were born as beggars, he always kept his words and never asked about their origins.
Qu Zhengxiang asked him what to do with Xiaomin?
Zhao Yulin said he would marry her together, and he asked Chen Zhongshun if he minded.
The old man nodded a little stiffly and said that it was up to him to decide.
Zhao Yulin said that he felt bad seeing that Ma Ling had not let go of the past, so he made a temporary decision and said that he would marry her in two years, which was considered a done deal. Xiaomin would definitely know about this soon, so he asked Master Qu to talk to Xiaomin. Ma Ling and Xiaomin were the same, and they would both be wives in the future, without distinction of seniority or juniority.
Qu Zhengxiang looked at him strangely. Zhao Yulin's old face turned red and he didn't know how to explain, so he stood up and said goodbye in a hurry.
After Zhao Yulin left, Qu Zhengxiang said that the young lady should think twice about what happened. He thought that the third young master of the Zhao family was not a law-abiding person and would definitely bring disaster upon himself.
Qu Zhengyang said that the Shenwei Army had already recruited thousands of soldiers, and Lei Manzi was still expanding the army. This must be the idea of ​​the Third Young Master. The Miao Manzi led his troops to the west. This place is not called Cuiping Fort, it should be called Cuiping County.
The two brothers were trying to put eye drops on Chen Zhongshun, calling Lei Man and Miao Gui barbarians without any hesitation, just to see what Chen Zhongshun really thought.
Chen Zhongshun said that Xiaomin's heart might no longer be able to accommodate outsiders. What should he do?
Qu Zhengyang tentatively said, why don't we move back to Jiangbei and take the young lady back to his hometown Chiyanzi to make wine. He believes that after some time the young lady will change her mind.
The two brothers were originally warriors, and they were very much in agreement with Zhao Yulin's idea of ​​pulling a pole to defend themselves , but Chen Zhongshun was the head of the family after all, and his opinion was very important.
Chen Zhongshun was confused. He asked Qu Zhengxiang to take good care of the young lady and discuss the matter again after some time.
Zhao Yulin felt that Chen Zhongshun had inherited Wu Gufeng's wine-making skills. After selling wine three times, his mentality had changed. He wanted to be content with a small fortune and act independently. He was afraid of losing his head if he followed Zhao Yulin.
Therefore, he became hesitant and cautious about getting along with Chen Xiaomin.
He was not afraid of Chen Zhongshun's betrayal. At worst, he could let him take away Wugufeng and Tianguo brewing technology. But Cuipingshan could immediately launch Qigufeng and Bagufeng and sell them for money. What he wanted was someone who was willing to follow him, not someone who could make money .
Zhao Yulin went back to find his mother and told her about Chen Xiaomin and Ma Ling'er.
His mother hesitated for a moment and smiled and said that he was just like his father, falling in love with every girl he met, so wasn't he afraid of causing trouble in the future?
He smiled and said, "How could that be? My mother is watching me." His mother said, "That's all. I'll talk to Xiaomin about it tomorrow."
The next day, Zhao Yulin went to Cuipingshan Military Camp to check on the training.
This old military camp is now overcrowded with people. Some are running, some are cross-country running, some are shooting arrows, and there are teams of soldiers training everywhere.
Lei Man stood on the platform and commanded with great dignity, like a great general. When he saw Zhao Yulin coming, he jumped off the platform and ran over, laughing and asking what had brought the Third Young Master here? As he spoke, he pulled him up and walked towards the central army tent.
After entering the big tent, Zhu Congwen told him that there were already more than a thousand soldiers, but the weapons could not keep up. He went to urge them twice in person, and only got a big knife blade in return.
Zhao Yulin said that he had given Chen Xian another task of making an engineering shovel. Everything had to be done one by one and there was no rush. The iron workshop had just produced the first batch of steel and there was only a little bit of it.
Zhu Congwen happily said that he had done a good job teaching Chen Xian how to make the gasoline barrel cannon and that the existing conditions were very suitable.
Zhao Yulin squinted his eyes and took a sip of tea and said, "Who is he to give random advice?"
Lei Man told him that his team had fought with the tribal soldiers from Ma Hu during night training and crushed them directly, so the soldiers turned back obediently.
