Er er er goose goose goose goose goose goose ~!
Fang Er couldn't even control his emotions, letting out a goose-like cry as he laughed heartily in the room.
Startled, Xiao Qing quickly pushed the door open and entered.
Upon entering, she saw Fang Er standing with his hands on his hips, roaring with laughter.
He was laughing with all his might, his face flushed red.
Xiao Qing, looking worried, spoke up from the side.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Seeing Xiao Qing, Fang Er excitedly rushed over, picked her up, and spun her around a few times.
Chai Yue also heard Fang Er's abnormal laughter and followed the sound.
As she entered, she witnessed the scene.
Her face flushed slightly, and she coughed lightly.
Fang Er, still exhilarated upon seeing Chai Yue, not having calmed down yet,
directly brought Xiao Qing over to Chai Yue's side.
He freed up one hand and also picked up Chai Yue.
Chai Yue cried out in surprise.
Fang Er spun them around frantically.
"Hahaha! I'm rich! I'm rich this time!"
"Ah! Oh my!"
In his extreme joy, he suddenly missed a step, and the three of them tumbled to the ground.
Fang Er quickly twisted his body, cushioning their fall beneath him.
Chai Yue and Xiao Qing landed heavily on him.
Together, they weighed around one hundred and seventy to eighty jin.
When he was excited and spinning them around, he hadn't felt their weight.
But now, with them crashing down on him, Fang Er couldn't bear it.
With a muffled groan, his eyes bulged, his face turned red.
He felt utterly terrible.
"Ah! Young Master, are you alright!"
"My lord, how are you!"
Xiao Qing and Chai Yue quickly asked with concern.
They then quickly disentangled themselves from Fang Er's embrace and helped him up.
Fang Er finally felt a bit lighter.
*Cough! Cough! Cough!*
He coughed for a good while before he could catch his breath.
Then, he planted a kiss on each of Chai Yue's and Xiao Qing's faces.
"Hahaha, don't worry, I'm fine. I'm going to the workshop!"
With that, he put his hands behind his back and strode out the door.
Chai Yue was completely bewildered by Fang Er's actions.
Although they had been living together for quite some time, their interactions had been limited to holding hands and perhaps a hug at most.
This was the first time he had kissed her on the cheek.
Feeling the moisture on her face, Chai Yue was incredibly shy.
Xiao Qing, however, was accustomed to it. She took Chai Yue's hand and said happily, "Young Madam, the Young Master should be truly fine, so we don't need to worry."
Chai Yue nodded, not knowing what else to say; it was too sudden.
Fang Er exited the building, started his motorcycle, and roared towards the workshop, an unconcealed excitement radiating from his face.
Upon arriving at the workshop, he carefully inspected the entire facility.
There weren't many remaining workshops, and they were scattered, some here, some there.
Nine lathes, six milling machines, twelve drilling machines, nine grinding machines, nine boring machines, six planers, nine stamping machines.
A total of sixty machine tools, enough to form several specialized modern workshops.
If they were placed dispersedly, it would inevitably impact work efficiency in the future.
He summoned Zhao Gang, Niu Liang, Wang Mo, Lin San, Wang Wu, Ma Qi, Zhou Mu, and others to the studio.
Along with Hua Niang, the leading figure of the sewing room, all the master craftsmen of the Fang family workshop were gathered together for the rare occasion.
They sat opposite Fang Er, waiting for his address, as reverently as primary school students facing their teacher.
Fang Er took paper and a pen and casually sketched a layout of the entire workshop on the workbench.
Then, he looked at everyone and said.
"Come over, let's discuss the issues."
Upon hearing this, everyone gathered around the workbench.
Fang Er pointed to the rows of buildings on the drawing and began to reallocate them.
The overall intention was to ensure that the difficult-to-move equipment was accommodated.
The workshop's layout was to be made more rational and efficient.
When the entire workshop was initially constructed, Fang Er had referenced the layout of various districts in Chang'an.
It was divided into thirty grids, and the rearranged workshop would roughly look like this.
Medicine, bullets, paper, coke, steel
Camp, military, printing, forging, steel
School, camp, glass, forging, wood
School, camp, industry, soap, alkali, wood
Fire, military, sewing, lodging, lodging, lodging
Medicine refers to the pharmacy, bullets refer to the bullet room, and so on.
Two rows of the four rows of forging workshops, each row with five workshops, would be used to house the large batch of machine tools acquired this time.
Fang Er was confident that once these modern equipment were put into extensive use, the workshop's production speed would be far beyond what it was before.
All the craftsmen in the workshop, nearly a thousand in total, began to work under the leadership of their respective master craftsmen.
Although only a portion of the workshops needed to be moved from their original locations,
it still took a full three days to complete everything according to Fang Er's requirements.
After having everyone return to their workstations,
Fang Er piled all sixty machine tools acquired in this exchange into one workshop. For this, he even had a lock specially made that only he could open.
He ordered Qi Sui to dispatch a hundred guards to protect this workshop day and night, and no one except himself was allowed to enter or exit.
Those who disobeyed would be killed without mercy!
There was no other way; he felt insecure keeping them in the system space.
However, taking them all out at once would be difficult to explain the source of such a large quantity of equipment.
So, he could only keep them here for now and then slowly transfer them out using the system space.
