Chapter 208 Then Bring One Back to See
Si Ning looked at him and said, "Then bring one back and have a look."
Si Tian was completely devastated: Forget it. He only has one mouth, and there are so many people here, so if he can't win the argument, just shut up!
"Don't be afraid, Uncle. You will find a very good aunt for Juanjuan!" Juanjuan spoke incoherently with food in her mouth.
"Thank you." Si Tian felt powerless.
The meal was finally finished and he was freed from this weird atmosphere.
Madam Si, Si Ning took her two children and a group of small animals for a walk in the yard after dinner. She said that a walk after dinner would help her live to be ninety-nine.
"What's the situation outside the city now?" Si Ming saw that there was no one else in the living room and asked Miao Jiu directly.
"A lot of people have gathered and want to enter the city." Miao Jiu sat casually with his legs crossed.
"You are planning to recruit workers who will sign death contracts." Siming already knew what he wanted to do.
Miao Jiu: "It's not that I want to recruit people from there. Who knows who's in there? It's always better to be cautious."
"That's true, but we may need to move faster." Siming looked at the two of them.
"Is the place suitable?" Miao Jiu was unusually serious.
"It's suitable, enough for a large arsenal." Siming stated the result directly.
Si Tian looked at Siming and said, "Brother, the steel bars and cement I bought here can only build a medium-sized arsenal. It may not be enough for a large arsenal."
"Don't worry, you have to help me solve a problem now." Si Ming was not in a hurry whether he could solve the problem of materials for a large arsenal at one time.
"What's the problem?" Si Tian looked at him.
"Does the machine tool need electricity?" Siming asked the most critical question.
"I've looked into this. There are both electric and manual ones. The manual ones are less efficient than the electric ones, but one of the electric ones is steam."
"It's not as efficient as electricity, and its accuracy is not as good as electricity." Si Tian had found out clearly before.
"So we still have to solve the electricity problem first?" Miao Jiu frowned slightly.
Although Sima Ming didn't want to admit it, he had to nod: "For now."
Miao Jiu narrowed his eyes. Solving the electricity problem is not an easy task.
"I remember that there is hydroelectric power generation in Jingzhou, but the funds are not in place, so the project is stopped and started." Si Tian said, looking at the two of them.
"Do you think there are any people like this among these refugees?" Miao Jiu smiled playfully.
Siming picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip casually: "Maybe there is?"
"How about we see if we can make some money from these people?" Si Tian looked at the two of them with a smile.
"That's a good idea. We need a lot of talents." Siming raised the cup in his hand towards the two of them.
Miao Jiu and Si Tian reached out and took the cups on the table: "Then let's see what we can find."
The three of them reached a consensus tacitly and began to write down the key talents needed based on the current situation.
Construction, machinery, and electrical engineering are definitely priorities, and then faced with the immediate planting, there will definitely not be enough manpower.
Now they are all somewhat grateful for the riots in Jingzhou, which really gave them pillows when they were sleepy.
…
Adjutant Qi knew Siming had returned, so he went to the Governor's Mansion early in the morning to report: "Governor, what are you going to do with Liao Kui in prison?"
"I almost forgot about them." Si Ming said as he took his clothes and prepared to go out.
As a result, after just a few steps, a small pendant appeared on his leg.
He looked down at Juanjuan who was hugging his legs, and saw the little guy smiling at him ingratiatingly.
"Dad! Take Juanjuan with you!" Juanjuan hugged his legs and acted coquettishly.
Si Ming turned to look at Si Jinchen: "Are you going, Chen?"
"Dad, I haven't finished my homework yet, you take Juanjuan with you!" Si Jinchen has a lot of homework now, and he also has to practice martial arts, so he has less time to accompany Juanjuan.
"Okay, I'll take Juanjuan with me then." Siming said, looking down at Juanjuan: "Can we let go now?"
"Dad, hug me!" Juanjuan let go of his legs and stretched out her hands towards him.
Siming smiled dotingly, bent down to pick her up, and gently slapped her on the butt: "Naughty girl."
Juanjuan smiled and put her arms around his neck, leaned on his shoulder, and waved to Si Jinchen behind her.
Si Jinchen waved at her, watched her get into the car, and then went back to the study to do his homework.
"Juanjuan, let Uncle Qi accompany you for a while." Siming looked at the little guy beside him.
"I want to stay with Dad!" Juanjuan snuggled up to him.
"Commander, since you've been out for a while, the lady has become even more attached to you." Adjutant Qi said while driving and glancing at the rearview mirror.
"Isn't it right for my daughter to stick to me?" Si Ming rolled his eyes at him.
Adjutant Qi raised his hand to touch his nose and said nothing more.
"If Juanjuan feels uncomfortable or scared at that time, you must tell Dad, okay?" Siming said in advance, thinking of the environment in the prison.
"With daddy here, Juanjuan won't be afraid. Daddy will protect Juanjuan." Juanjuan had a bright smile on her face.
Siming felt warm in his heart and held her close to him: "Yes. Dad will protect Juanjuan."
When he arrived at the Governor's Office, he took Juanjuan and headed straight towards the prison.
Juanjuan looked at the place curiously. It was pitch black inside the gate, and only a few faint orange lights were visible.
Standing at the door, you can feel the cold and dampness inside, and hear groans and the squeaking of mice.
Siming winked at the soldier beside him, asking him to go in first and stop the torture inside.
He lowered his head to look at Juanjuan who was like a curious baby and said, "Juanjuan, if you are scared, just wait for Dad outside."
Juanjuan shook her little head and took his hand: "Juanjuan is not afraid."
Sima Ming confirmed that she was really not afraid, and then he took her hand and walked into the prison.
The smell inside was not pleasant, a musty smell mixed with the smell of blood.
Juanjuan acted as if nothing had happened, looking here and there curiously, completely unaffected by the environment inside.
Siming pulled Juanjuan to the door of a cell and looked at the people inside.
Liao Kui and other pirates were imprisoned here.
"Liao Kui." Siming called out.
Liao Kui looked up and saw Siming standing outside the railing. He stood up and walked towards him: "General, have you decided what to do with us?"
"The property you told me about is a lot less." Siming did not answer him, but went straight to another matter.
"How is that possible? We have been hiding those things there since we stole them, and we have never been back since then." Liao Kui looked incredulous.
"You really don't know?" Siming looked at him calmly.
"I really don't know. If I wanted to lie to you, I would just tell you the current quantity. Why would I lie to you by telling you a false number?" Liao Kui denied it directly.
Siming turned to look at one of the people in the cell and asked, "Does anyone here know the whereabouts of those things?"
