Chapter 382 The Great Effect of Fake Silver Dollars
Si Ning and Miao Jiu brought Meng Yanxin to the military governor's office and took away three female soldiers.
Miao Jiu gave her two men, making a total of five people.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen went to the train station together to see the six people off.
Si Tian looked at Meng Yanxin and said, "Be careful, don't be stubborn. At worst, we can check again next time."
"I know, I still have five people with me, so I won't act rashly." Meng Yanxin reassured him.
Juanjuan took out six small leaves from her bag and stuffed them into everyone's hands.
"Auntie, uncle, you have to keep this close to your body and don't take it out!" Juanjuan instructed seriously.
Sitian, Siming and Miao Jiu didn't take the leaf seriously when they saw the others.
The three of them called several people aside separately.
"Yanxin, you must listen to Juanjuan and keep the leaves she gave you close to your body no matter what."
"As for the reason, you will know later." Si Tian looked at her seriously.
Meng Yanxin originally wanted to coax Juanjuan, so she agreed perfunctorily. However, when she saw Si Tian's serious instructions, she couldn't help but frown.
"Is it important?"
"Yes, you have to promise me that you will carry it with you no matter what." Si Tian nodded.
Although Meng Yanxin didn't know why, she didn't want him to worry: "Okay."
After she finished speaking, she put the leaves in her notebook and put them away.
It was easier to give orders to the others, just say they were commands.
Although they were puzzled, they dared not disobey the orders of their boss and the governor.
Juanjuan hugged them one by one and said, "Uncle, aunt, remember to bring a gift for Juanjuan!"
"Okay, I'll definitely bring a gift for the lady." They waved goodbye to a few people and got on the train one by one.
"Dad, when can Juanjuan take the train?" Juanjuan was very curious about this iron train.
Siming held her hand and said, "When Dad is done with his work, I'll take you there by train, okay?"
Juanjuan nodded: "Okay."
After the train left, Siming took the two little ones back to the Governor's Mansion.
When the housekeeper saw them coming back, he came over with a smile and said, "Miss, do you want to help me draw?"
"Okay, Juanjuan draws and let your brother write." Juanjuan pulled him and ran to help the housekeeper draw.
Whenever the housekeeper made a part, he would ask Juanjuan to draw it, and then ask Si Jinchen to write a number to indicate which part it was.
Si Jinchen stretched his head to take a look at Juanjuan's painting, and was a little unsure whether he should tell the housekeeper.
Juanjuan's paintings are still unstable, and this is the current situation.
The butler was stunned after taking a look at it. He then looked at the picture he had drawn.
It seems that I can draw better than the young lady!
But seeing how seriously the young lady was painting, I really couldn't say anything else.
Si Jinchen looked at Juanjuan's painting and suddenly had an idea: "Juanjuan, I will help you color it and make it look better."
Juanjuan immediately nodded happily: "Okay!"
Si Jinchen and the housekeeper both breathed a sigh of relief, now they could change the picture without hurting the young lady.
After she finished drawing, Si Jinchen took out colored pencils and helped her make the picture perfect.
The butler laughed as soon as he saw it, thinking that the young master was really smart.
"Grandpa Butler, can you accomplish so much by yourself?" Juanjuan looked up at him.
"I can't do so much. We need to ask some craftsmen to do it." The butler agreed with a smile.
Siming was checking letters in the study. The fertile fields outside the city were being taken care of by the Ling family, so they didn't have to worry about them.
As for the grain seeds that the Cai family wants, they have to wait until next year. There will be no grain seeds to give them this year.
They cannot reveal too much to avoid being targeted by anyone.
"Brother." Si Tian walked in.
"What's wrong?" Siming saw him come in and put away the documents in his hand.
"The machines at the processing plant are almost repaired and should be able to go into production soon." Si Tian sat down opposite him.
"What's the situation in the valley?" Siming looked at him and asked.
"The machine tools have been shipped over. Agu sent a message saying we're still short of some materials."
Si Tian handed him a piece of paper.
Siming reached out and took the paper he handed over: "Wood and brass are easy, but nickel-chromium alloy is more troublesome."
"Dad, second uncle." Juanjuan poked her little head in.
"Come in quickly." Siming waved at her.
Juanjuan stretched out her legs and ran in.
Si Ming held her and sat her on his lap, and continued to talk to Si Tian about what happened in the valley.
"If that doesn't work, we can only buy it from abroad."
"Ding-dong."
Si Tian and Siming both looked in the direction of the sound.
I only saw Juanjuan playing with two silver dollars, but upon closer inspection I found that there was something wrong with the silver dollars.
"Juanjuan, where did you get the silver dollars?" Si Tian looked at her curiously.
"The fake money from before!" Juanjuan blinked her big eyes and put the two silver dollars in her hand into his.
Si Tian remembered that many fake silver dollars appeared in Beiyang City during the Chinese New Year, and his eldest brother also destroyed the Dazheng Chamber of Commerce.
He collected a lot of silver dollars at that time, and he even asked someone to identify the composition of the silver dollars, but he forgot about it because he was busy.
"Brother, wait a moment."
After he finished speaking, he ran out of the study and went to his room to look for documents.
Siming lowered his head to look at Juanjuan who was also looking at him with a silly expression.
"Dad, did Second Uncle find anything interesting?"
"I don't know! We can wait a moment, maybe we'll know soon." Si Ming hugged her and coaxed her.
Si Tian ran back and searched for a long time, and finally found a file bag among a pile of documents.
He pulled out the paper inside and took a look, then immediately ran upstairs in surprise.
"Brother, brother."
Before Si Tian could say anything, Miao Jiu rushed over and said, "Ah Tian, why are you shouting so loudly?"
"You woke up all three of my sons."
Si Tian turned to look at the angry Miao Jiu: "Sorry, brother-in-law, I got too excited and spoke too loudly."
"Uncle." Juanjuan waved her little hand towards Miao Jiu who was at the door.
When Miao Jiu saw Juanjuan was there, he immediately changed his attitude: "Why is Juanjuan here too?"
"Let's talk about this later." Si Ming interrupted their conversation and turned to look at Si Tian: "What's going on?"
Si Tian quickly handed the information in his hand to Siming: "Brother, please take a look at the ingredients."
Siming took the file bag from his hand and pulled out the paper inside. Seeing the contents, his eyes widened in surprise: "Nickel-chromium."
"What nickel-chromium?" Miao Jiu also walked into the study and looked at the two of them with curiosity.
Si Tian then told them about the materials needed in the valley.
Miao Jiu saw the two people and asked: "So those silver coins are made of nickel-chromium?"
"You also confiscated large quantities of nickel and chromium?"
Siming smiled and nodded. He didn't expect that the fake silver coins they kept at that time were the materials they used to make guns.
The three of them looked at Juanjuan who was sitting and playing with fake silver dollars. This child really brought them surprises at any time.
Now the important materials for making guns are available. We just need to send the silver dollars over and remelt them before we can use them.
He had to thank the Taisho Chamber of Commerce for producing so many fake silver dollars. It was really a good deal for them.
