The pier in Huanglongxi has not been so lively for a long time. Many coolies who transported goods put down their work and surrounded the pier like they were looking at the Western scenery.

Their masters also rarely scolded them, but instead crowded in front of them to watch together.

On the water surface of the Chishui River, three iron guys, more than fifty meters long, appeared. Rolling smoke spewed out from the chimney of the hull. Although the speed had slowed down when approaching the dock, the stirring waves still made the nearby boats shaking.

These steam-powered iron ships are often seen in coastal areas, but here is inland, and most businesses are still used to carrying goods on wooden ships.

After all, wooden boats are cheap to maintain and easy to operate.

"Clang lang."

The heavy anchor was thrown into the water, and the thick iron frame and iron plate were also mounted, connecting the ship and the dock.

On the boat, seven or eight foreigners walked down first.

They all wore uniform blue uniforms, with a string of white English letters on their chests and behind them, but most of them were unable to understand.

But if someone has learned foreign language, he will know that this string of letters is "WRAC", and its full name is "Winchester Repeating Arms Company".

Translated into Chinese is Winchester Relay Light Weapons Company.

A world-renowned gun manufacturing company, best at manufacturing light thermal weapons.

"Why are foreign devils here? Could it be that they are going to compete for business with us?" The eyes of many businessmen and squire changed. The equipment of foreigners' factories is much more advanced, and they are far superior to those of national enterprises in terms of quality and quantity of products.

What local businessmen are most afraid of is to engage in business competitions with these foreigners.

Someone had already begun to respond on the shore. A group of young and strong men quickly entered the ship, carried the containers on them, and put them on the donkey carriage that had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Bai, these three ships are all the equipment. We will accompany you to the factory to help you complete the installation." A foreigner in the lead handed a list to Bai Xin and asked enthusiastically.

In the eyes of these foreigners, Mr. Bai needs them to please the big customers seriously.

Mr. Bai had previously placed more than 5 million pounds in his company, and this time he directly purchased a complete M1873 rifle and 44-40 bullet production line. It is not clear how much it cost, ordinary employees like them.

But judging by the boss's good mood over the past few months, the money spent here will definitely not be less.

Bai Xin nodded and led the people to the location of the factory.

As early as a few years ago, Wu Xuanzhi began to make arrangements in Huanglongxi.

Steel plants and mines were built early, and all facilities of these factories were complete. As long as the production lines of guns and ammunition were in place, production could be quickly entered.

Huanglong Creek is also very good, just at the junction of Rongcheng and Meizhou. There is also a big river connecting the two places, which is very convenient for transportation.

More importantly, the copper ore and saltpeter ore here are also produced, so even the problem of raw materials has been solved.

Everything was pushing hard, but some small episodes appeared in the middle.

Mr. Qiao is sick.

To be precise, it's crazy.

The night before yesterday, Mr. Qiao went out alone and was not allowed to follow him. He didn't come back until the second day of the day. When he arrived home, he cried and laughed, and looked crazy.

He kept muttering words like "The meat is gone... the liar..."

When Qiao Yongnian went to visit him, he seemed to have seen an enemy, and wanted to kill his eldest son with a knife, and even hugged Qiao Yongnian and bit him.

After being stopped, he suddenly knelt in front of Qiao Yongnian, burst into tears, begging the other party to cut a piece of meat for him.

In short, the Qiao family became in chaos.

It was not until the morning of the third day that Mr. Qiao kicked his legs and swallowed his last breath unwillingly.

According to the maid who broke the mouth, Mr. Qiao's eyes were open when he died.

"Mr. Qiao was also a hero when he was young, which is a pity." Wu Xuanzhi received the news immediately and was a little sad.

When he was young, Mr. Qiao was called "Fasy Sabbayashi" and was famously not afraid of death. At that time, the Qiao family was far from as good as the current atmosphere, but there were only a few acres of thin fields that could barely starve to death.

But Mr. Qiao joined the local Ge Lao Club, signed the contract to sell his body, and became a thug. He relied on fighting and killing all the way and fought hard to achieve wealth.

However, from when, Mr. Qiao, who was not afraid of death, became timid and afraid of things.

Maybe it started when he gave birth to his first child, or maybe it started when his first wife was chopped into a pool of mud.

In short, fear of death became his obsession.

It eventually evolved into an inner demon and turned himself into a demon.

"Maybe one day, when my deadline comes, it will become even more unbearable." Wu Xuanzhi's eyes fell in the distance, and the flesh and blood on his body was beating restlessly.

When I was young, I always felt that death was a very distant thing.

But when you die, look back at the moment, all the scenes are just a moment.

"Then let this day never come." Wu Xuanzhi subconsciously clenched his fists, and his strong will suppressed the flesh and blood again.

He practiced the "Ancient Flesh and Blood" since he was a child, and his heart toward Tao is firm and will not be so easily shaken.

Just as he was pondering, a team of brides and brides walked by on the not-so-spacious streets of Huanglong River in the distance.

However, the partner who was accepted into the bride was not the bride, but a young man in his twenties.

Wu Xuanzhi recognized this person with an eye. This person was the son-in-law of the He family, and seemed to be named Liu Laosan.

The name is quite old-fashioned, but in fact he is a young man with quite upright facial features.

This marriage into the family is not a brilliant thing. Ordinary people do things quietly, and it is rare to play tricks and swagger in the market like this.

"Liu Laosan, I'm not ashamed, and I'm wearing a green veil on my head."

Along the way, many children followed behind the team, joking and laughing.

These are actually rumors from the country people, saying that the He family's daughter was pregnant, but she was afraid that the child would not have a father, so she quickly found a substitute. Otherwise, she would not have been able to get a wife after she died.

I was anxious and not as anxious as I was.

"Go and go, don't make trouble, take the candy and leave quickly." Liu Laosan himself felt that he couldn't hold on to such a scene.

He sprinkled a handful of candy and cursed in a low voice.
