Chapter 1182 Tiedan Joins

In the blacksmith shop, Bai Feng and Geng Zhuzhu saw Lao Li's warm reception, and both of them had smiles on their faces.

"Hahaha, no need to go to such trouble."

"Mr. Geng and I are here to take a look at the construction of the steam engine."

Bai Feng said straight to the point to Lao Li.

Old Li Xindao, the Marquis of Hanzhong was indeed here to inquire about this matter.

"Okay, Mr. He Geng, the Marquis of Hanzhong, please move over here."

Then Lao Li took Bai Feng and Geng Zhuzi to the backyard of the blacksmith shop.

Brothers Li Gangdan and Li Tiedan also hurried to the backyard to greet Bai Feng.

Bai Feng and Geng Zhuzhu, who came to the backyard of Tiejiapu, looked at the pile of semi-finished steam engines piled up in the backyard, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

"These are the steam engines you're trying to build?"

Seeing this, Bai Feng couldn't help but asked Lao Li.

He really didn't expect that this blacksmith shop would be so dedicated to building steam engines.

"Reporting to Hanzhong Hou, these are the results of our continuous attempts over the past few days."

"But I still haven't been able to build a steam engine that's the same as the drawing you gave me."

Lao Li replied to Bai Feng, fearing that Bai Feng would be dissatisfied.

"Hahaha, well done!"

"Tell me what problems you have encountered?"

Bai Feng encountered a surprise at the first blacksmith shop he came to, so he happily asked Lao Li.

When Lao Li saw that Bai Feng not only didn't blame him, but also looked very happy, he suddenly let out a sigh of relief.

After hearing Bai Feng's inquiry, Lao Li signaled his youngest son Li Tiedan with his eyes.

At the beginning, Lao Li was working on building a steam engine with his younger son. In the next half month, Li Tiedan was basically doing the research on his own, and his eldest brother Li Gangdan became his assistant.

After Li Tiedan saw his father's signal, he came to Bai Feng with the steam engine drawing.

"In Hanzhong, we are now using casting methods to build steam engines. The main problems encountered are"

After listening to a bunch of problems Li Tiedan said, Bai Feng realized that there are really many problems in building a steam engine with current technology.

If Bai Feng wasn't in such a hurry, a blacksmith would definitely be able to build the steam engine in a year and a half.

But now Bai Feng is anxious for the mass production of steam engines, and is completely unsatisfied with the efficiency of that kind of high-quality processing.

If trains were to be able to travel all over the world, steam engines had to be mass-produced.

After Li Tiedan and Bai Feng finished talking about the problems encountered in building the steam engine, they stopped talking.

Li Gangdan stood silently and did not speak. Lao Li was also waiting for Bai Feng's opinion.

"Very good. It seems that they have really put a lot of effort into researching the construction of steam engines."

Bai Feng looked at the steam engine drawing in Li Tiedan's hand that had been burnt at one corner and the paper had turned yellow, and said with satisfaction.

Then Bai Feng asked Lao Li:

"This young man just now is your son, right?"

"Yes, this is my youngest son Li Tiedan, and that is my eldest son Li Gangdan."

Lao Li replied to Bai Feng, saying he was very satisfied with his youngest son's performance.

Bai Feng turned to Geng Zhuzhu and said:

"Li Tiedan is good. I think I can go to the R&D center to assist you in manufacturing steam engines."

"Well, sir and I have the same opinion!"

Geng Zhuzhu nodded and said.

He believes that Li Tiedan's spirit of research and practical efficiency can greatly help him in the manufacture of steam engines.

Seeing that Li Tiedan's ability was recognized by Geng Zhuzi, Bai Feng smiled at Lao Li again and said:

"Tiejiang Li, I plan to let Tiedan go to the R&D center to help Mr. Geng build steam engines. The treatment will be favorable. What do you think?"

When Lao Li heard this, his face lit up with joy, and then he looked at his youngest son, Li Tiedan.

Li Tiedan has no interest in making kitchen knives, hoes and iron pots in the blacksmith shop.

Going to the R&D center to build a steam engine seemed to him to be the most interesting thing.

After meeting his father's gaze, Li Tiedan nodded slightly.

"Thank you Hanzhong Hou for supporting Tiedan!"

"Tiedan! After you go to the R&D center, you must follow Mr. Geng and work hard!"

"Otherwise you just wait to be beaten!"

After Lao Li thanked Bai Feng, he said to his younger son.

"Hahaha!"

Bai Feng and Geng Zhuzi couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing Lao Li's threat to Li Tiedan.

Li Gangdan, Lao Li's wife and younger sister Cuihua, who had been listening to Bai Feng's conversation outside the yard, also had smiles on their faces.

Their little blacksmith shop will definitely have a much easier life in the future because Li Tiedan enters the R&D center.

Then Bai Feng and Li Tiedan agreed to go to the R&D center in ten days.

The reason why they have to wait ten days is because Bai Feng and Geng Zhuzhu will personally visit all the blacksmith shops in Hanzhong City.

In addition, it takes time to prepare the various tools and equipment needed by the R&D center.

Because the R&D center occupies a very important position in Bai Feng's future plans, he will definitely personally check all matters in the early stages.

It was not until the R&D center got on the right track that Bai Feng was able to gradually decentralize power.

After leaving Lao Li's blacksmith shop, Bai Feng and Geng Zhuzi headed to the next blacksmith shop.

In one afternoon, Bai Feng and Geng Zhuzi went to three blacksmith shops.

It is a pity that no one like Li Tiedan was found in the remaining two blacksmith shops.

But this is normal.

After returning to the Hanzhong Hou Mansion in the evening, Bai Feng saw that Cao Jie and Liu Li had also returned to the house.

"Jie'er, let me introduce to you. This is Geng Zhuzi who came to help me in charge of the R&D center. From now on, everyone can call him Mr. Geng."

Bai Feng introduced Qigeng Zhuzhu to Cao Jie and Liuli.

Cao Jie first stepped forward and smiled at Geng Zhuzhu:

"Mr. Geng, welcome!"

Liu Li, Zhang Qiying, Diao Chan and others also stepped forward to welcome Geng Zhuzhu.

Geng Zhuzhu greeted everyone with a smile.

And he was still thinking in his mind:

"I didn't expect that my husband would have so many beautiful wives and concubines in his family. It seems that we won't be able to have more in the Hanzhong Marquis Mansion in the future."

At the dinner, Bai Feng told Cao Jie and the others in detail about the life story he had compiled with Geng Zhuzi.

Then he informed everyone about the arrangements for the R&D center in charge of Geng Zhuzhu.

"Mr. Geng is actually proficient in mechanism skills!"

Cao Jie said in surprise, and he understood why Bai Feng arranged Geng Zhuzhu to be the person in charge of the R&D center.

Bai Feng also laughed and said:

"I didn't expect to get Mr. Geng's help. I guess we will have some clues about the train in the next two years! Hahaha!"

What Bai Feng really likes is trains and ships.
