Chapter 787 Site Selection

Early in the morning, Shen Kuan and the others were already busy.

Those who feed the horses feed the horses, and those who check the weapons check the weapons.

One look at their looks and knew that Yun Zheng would definitely go out today.

Yu Fu was busy with the affairs of the house, and Shen Kuan sent someone to find him, "Steward Yu, Commander Shen asked you to help us prepare two loads of beans. We will take them away later."

Beans?

Yu Fu was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I will order people to prepare immediately! Is the prince going on a long trip? Are two loads of beans enough?"

He knew that if he ran far away, he would need beans to replenish the horse's strength.

How much is two loads of beans?

Yunzheng's bodyguards alone totaled two thousand!

You can't just bring one or two bean ingredients per person, right?

The Guards thought for a while and replied: "Commander Shen asked me to prepare two loads, which should be enough."

"All right!"

Yu Fu nodded, "If it's not enough, remember to tell me in advance so that I can make preparations in advance."

"it is good!"

The Guards nodded and quickly turned around and left.

Looking at the guards retreating away, Yu Fu was a little confused.

Two loads of beans are not enough to stuff the teeth of their horses, right?

After having breakfast, Yun Zheng held the child and teased him again, "Little bastard, you have to be good, or else dad will come back tomorrow and I'll have to slap your ass!"

"Wow...ah..."

Yun Cang lay in the tightly wrapped swaddling clothes, babbling and talking nonsense, completely unaware of being threatened.

Shen Luoyan walked over and happened to hear Yun Zheng's "threat" to his son. He couldn't help laughing, "How can you be such a father! Cang'er can't even understand what he's saying, yet you keep thinking about beating him!"

"A dutiful son emerges from a stick!"

Yun Zheng didn't take it seriously, laughed loudly, and ordered the people in the house to call Yu Fu over.

When Yu Fu arrived, Yun Zheng was talking to Shen Luoyan about the usefulness of the valley.

Seeing Yu Fu's arrival, Yun Zheng immediately cut off the topic and instead told Yu Fu: "The king is going out for two days. You should take more care of the affairs of the house. As long as you can handle it, don't let the princess and the others worry! Especially! This is Mrs. Zi. She is pregnant and should not work hard. "

"Prince, don't worry, I understand."

Yu Fuli nodded repeatedly.

While they were talking, Shen Kuan came quickly and said, "Your Highness, everything is ready. Do you want to leave now?"

"it is good!"

Yun Zheng nodded.

"Let's give it to you!"

Shen Luoyan took the child from Yun Zheng.

"Okay, don't give it away, it's not too far."

Yun Zheng waved his hand to Shen Luoyan, "I just want to go over there and have a look. I'll be back tomorrow!"

"All right!"

Shen Luoyan glanced at Yunzheng reluctantly and warned, "Be careful on the road."

Yun Zheng nodded and quickly walked outside the palace.

Soon, Yunzheng took Miaoyin and a hundred personal guards and rushed to the valley.

Of course, the one hundred personal guards were just people on the surface.

Last night, some of the Guards had already set off in advance.

Yun Zheng really wanted to go fishing to see if he could fish out those people, and also tested Yu Fu. Although the possibility of testing Yu Fu was extremely low, it didn't stop him from giving it a try.

Moreover, he originally wanted to go to that valley to see it.

If that valley was suitable, he would like to locate the Technical Research Institute there.

After leaving Sifang County, the group immediately rushed towards the valley.

Along the way, Shen Kuan and others were also extremely careful, always paying attention to the surrounding situation.

However, they encountered no danger along the way.

At 1 p.m., they arrived at the valley where Zhao Ji had previously stationed troops.

As they arrived, Wang Heng, who was hiding at the entrance of the valley, immediately appeared to greet them.

"How's it going?"

Yunzheng asked.

Wang Heng replied: "There is a stream in the valley. It is not frozen at this time of year, but the water flow is a bit small and it shouldn't be able to carry the waterwheel."

"That's it..."

Yun Zheng frowned slightly, quickly dismounted, and walked up the ridgeline of the valley.

Miaoyin and the others followed closely behind Yunzheng.

It took almost half an hour before they reached the high point on the west side of the valley.

The view here is very broad and you can have a panoramic view of the entire valley.

The valley is huge and surrounded by rolling mountains.

In the valley, you can still see large trampled marks, which should have been left by Zhao Ji and others when they stationed troops here.

Yun Zheng took a general glance at it and felt that this place was very consistent with his ideal location for the Technical Research Institute and other places.

The only drawback is that it is too far from Dingbei.

It is impossible for me to come here often to exchange various techniques with those craftsmen.

However, even if he studies new technologies, he is only an assistant. In the end, it is still up to the craftsmen to do this. He can only provide some ideas and directions.

After pondering for a while, Yun Zheng ordered Wang Heng: "Let's go, take me to see the stream first!"

"Yes!"

Wang Heng took the order and immediately led Yunzheng and the others into the valley.

Soon they reached the stream on the east side of the valley.

When Yunzheng squatted down to check the water temperature of the stream, Wang Heng said again: "This stream flows out from the crack in the mountain over there. The deep part is only a little more than half a foot, and the shallower part is not even close to the water of the war horse." The knees can’t even be submerged…”

Yunzheng raised his eyes and looked at both sides of the stream.

The waterline is still a little far away from the scour marks on both sides of the stream. During the wet season, the water flow here should be larger, but not too much.

Combined with the slightly warm water temperature, it can be basically judged that this stream is a small tributary of an underground river.

“It’s not deep enough, you can dig deeper!”

A smile appeared on Yunzheng's face, "There is no need to dig too deep, as long as it can drive the waterwheel!"

As a man with a modern soul, he still wanted to do something mechanized.

The water here will not dry up or freeze, making it more suitable for setting up waterwheels than in Shuobei.

Moreover, the Technical Research Institute focuses on research and does not need to consider production issues, nor does it need to set up too many waterwheels.

"It seems that you are sure about this place?"

Miaoyin asked with a smile.

"more or less!"

Yunzheng nodded slightly, "Let's go and look around again!"

If this place is determined, we must consider the issue of long-term military garrison.

He didn't want the technology he had worked so hard to develop to be stolen.

When they took a general look inside the valley, the sky was gradually getting dark.

Yunzheng has basically decided to locate the Technical Research Institute here. In the future, the Wuhan Research Institute and the like can also be located here!

In the evening, everyone lit a fire in the leeward part of the valley and made do with it all night.

That night passed very peacefully. There was no assassination as expected by Yun Zheng, and no one was found peeping at their hidden sentry.

This result made Yunzheng somewhat disappointed.

When she woke up in the morning, Miaoyin leaned in Yunzheng's arms and asked in a low voice: "Has Yu Fu's suspicion been ruled out?"

"Not counting."

Yun Zheng shook his head gently, "If he is really a spy, he might have guessed that I was testing him, so he chose to stand still! Anyway, be more careful!"

He didn't have much hope in testing Yu Fu.

After eating something simple, they set off back to Sifang County.

As soon as he returned to the house, Shen Luoyan hurried forward and said, "Jingyang Mansion has sent an urgent report. Sister Zi'er is very worried. You should go and have a look!"

Urgent report?

Yun Zheng's heart trembled. Could it be that there was chaos somewhere?
