    The Ordnance Supervision of the Tang Dynasty was responsible for producing equipment for the army. The Ordnance Supervision of Chang'an was the "headquarters" in modern terms, and it also had "branch offices" in important cities.  Longxi is of very important significance both in terms of history and strategic position.  It was once the front line of defense against Tibet. At the same time, the troops going to the Western Regions had to pass through here and shouldered the important task of supplying the troops in the Western Regions. Therefore, the Tang Dynasty's weapons inspection in Longxi was relatively large in scale and had more personnel.

    Chen Wanrong rushed to the Ordnance Supervision and saw that the scale of the Ordnance Supervision was not small. Although it was not as good as the one in Chang'an, as a branch, it was already very good.  He flew off his horse, came to the door, and said to the soldier guarding the door: "Please tell me, Chen Wanrong is here to see all the masters."

    "Are you General Chen?" The soldier was a little surprised and couldn't stop looking at Chen Wanrong.

    Chen Wanrong is famous all over the world. Who doesn¡¯t know that he is the head of the Ordnance Supervision?  No matter what, the soldier expected to see the near-legendary Chen Wanrong, and his eyes widened even more than those of an ox.

    "If it's fake, it will be replaced!" Chen Wanrong was very sure.

    "General Chen, please wait." The soldier slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, look at what I said, how can I make General Chen wait? General Chen, please, please come in!"

    Originally, we followed the old rules and wanted Chen Wanrong to wait outside while he went to report.  Then I thought that Chen Wanrong was the head of the Ordnance Supervision, and it was not good to do so, so I changed my mind.

    Chen Wanrong also wanted to see Zhang Deming and Cao Zhixiong as soon as possible, so he was not polite. He threw the reins to a soldier and strode in.  The soldiers hurriedly followed in and wanted to report.

    Chen Wanrong did not stop him and let him go about his work.  In just one breath, the soldier turned around, followed by several people. Chen Wanrong took a look and saw Cao Zhixiong.

    "General Chen!" Cao Zhixiong was very happy. He rushed up as fast as he could, gave Chen Wanrong a bear hug, and said with a smile: "General Chen, what kind of wind brought you here? It's really unexpected.  ! I can¡¯t believe it!¡±

    After not seeing him for several months, I really missed him. Chen Wanrong patted him on the back and asked: "Master Cao, I came uninvited today. Do you welcome me?"

    "You're not welcome!" Cao Zhixiong's answer was surprising. He continued: "You are in charge of the weapons inspection, so how can I welcome you? You are going home!"

    The words made everyone laugh.  The people who came with him were all good workers and directors of the Longxi Ordnance Supervision. They had long heard Cao Zhixiong and Zhang Deming talking about Chen Wanrong, and they had long wanted to meet. Today, they were all happy to have their wish come true.  They came up, surrounded Chen Wanrong in the middle, and couldn't help but look at him.

    "Why do you always look at me? Did Master Cao say something bad about me?" Chen Wanrong joked.

    Cao Zhixiong hurriedly argued: "General Chen, please don't talk nonsense. How can I say bad things about you!"

    "You mean Master Zhang said bad things about me?" Chen Wanrong was in a very good mood and made a lot of jokes: "Master Cao, it's not good to talk about people behind their backs!"

    Cao Zhixiong said seriously: "General Chen, you are judging a gentleman with a villain's heart. How can we say bad things about you and only good things about you!"

    "You still say nice things, but aren't you calling me a villain to my face?" Chen Wanrong pointed at Cao Zhixiong with a serious look on his face.

    What he said just now was indeed wrong. Cao Zhixiong suddenly froze, and everyone burst into laughter.

    "I'm joking with you, don't take it seriously!" Chen Wanrong then met everyone.  After seeing the ceremony one by one, Cao Zhixiong and the others invited Chen Wanrong into the room to serve tea. Chen Wanrong was not in the mood and said: "I'm not here to drink your tea this time, but to see your progress. Made of cement  How's it going? Where's Master Zhang? Why don't you see anyone?"

    "You have too many questions, which one should we answer?" Cao Zhixiong took over the conversation and said calmly: "Guess, is our situation good?"

    Chen Wanrong said with a serious face: "Your report is very good. I would like to see it. The alias is not true."

    Cao Zhixiong was a little annoyed: "General Chen, you still can't trust us? This matter is of great importance. Even if we want to lie about it, we don't have the courage. Once something happens, we can't fix the hole in our heads."

    As soon as the cement comes out, the road to the Western Region will be built.  Once you reach the Western Region, it will change the world structure and rewrite world history. The relationship is so great that even using all the words cannot explain it. Chen Wanrong believes that what he is telling the truth: "I believe you, but I still  Want to see it."

    "I know you are impatient, come with us!" Cao Zhixiong took Chen Wanrong's hand and said: "Master Zhang is rushing to make equipment. As for me, I am not lazy, I am training people. As soon as you come, you disturb us."The food empire promotes Chinese civilization to the infinite.  Then, the road connecting the Western Regions is particularly important. It should not only be built to Qiuci Town, but also all the way to the west, to Samarkand, to Baghdad, to Damascus, and to Cairo.

    Without smooth roads, the Tang Dynasty¡¯s control over the Middle East would be much weaker.  With such a transportation artery, under the influence of Chinese civilization, a hundred years later, the Middle East will be included in the Chinese civilization circle and become a part of China.

    World history will change because of this!  This is an ambitious goal!

    Correspondingly, a lot of cement will be needed!  It cannot just be manufactured in Longxi, but should also be produced in the Western Regions, Central Asia, and the Middle East.  It would be wise to use the manpower and material resources there to accomplish this.

    Of course, these ideas cannot be told to Zhang Deming and others, because they are still confidential.

    However, Zhang and Cao always believed in Chen Wanrong's words without thinking: "We will do whatever General Chen says! If we need manpower, we will definitely mobilize it."

    Chen Wanrong was very satisfied with their answers and praised: "You two really understand the overall situation!"

    Entering the workshop, I saw the craftsmen were busy, with sweat hanging on their foreheads.  Chen Wanrong looked at the slowly rotating rotary kiln. It was no different from the one in Chang'an. He was very happy: "When the steam engine is built, there will be no need to build it next to the river and use water power!"

    "Steam engine?" It was a good thing that Chen Wanrong didn't mention it. When he mentioned it, the interest of the two people immediately increased: "Is it ready?"

    Chen Wanrong thought for a while and said: "It should be soon! When I left Chang'an, I was not well yet. With Master Liang here, I won't be unable to do it."

    Liang Lingzhan is a talented mechanic, and Cao and Zhang have absolute confidence in him: "Then hurry up, we are waiting to use it!"

    A team of carriages drove away with cement. Chen Wanrong was very surprised and asked: "Didn't you say you were making cement blocks here? How come they were transported away? I saw them looking like this, covered in dust, and transporting them very hard."  Far away?"

    Zhang Deming explained: "General Chen, you don't know. We are making cement blocks here because the weather is cold and we can't construct them. We have to do this. Now that the weather has warmed up, we can construct outside.  It¡¯s easier to transport the cement over and make cement blocks on the construction site.¡±

    The advantage of this is that there is no need to transport sand and lime, and materials can be obtained locally, which saves a lot of trouble.

    Chen Wanrong even said excitedly: "Then I have to go to the construction site to have a look!"

    Zhang Deming grabbed him: "General Chen, you can't go! Do you know where we are building the road now? That is Yiwu Road, which passes through Yumen Pass. It is still hundreds of miles away from Yumen Pass!"

    Cao Zhixiong continued to explain: "Didn't we build the worst and most difficult to pass first? The road condition of Yiwu Road in the area around Yumenguan is not bad and passable. The further we go west, the worse it becomes. What we are repairing now  The place is more than two hundred miles away from Yumen Pass."

    Chen Wanrong estimated that a round trip was seven to eight hundred miles, which would take a day or two more.  Now that I am busy with military affairs and can't spare any time, I have to give up the idea and say: "In that case, I won't go. You have done a good job, better than I imagined, much better. I will treat you to a drink!"
