Lin Qiaoer didn't understand the meaning of these two stones, but Liu Ziqiu said so, so she followed Liu Ziqiu's words and asked: "What is missing?"
"Yes! We need someone, we need someone who can turn ore into pig iron!" Liu Ziqiu slapped his hands suddenly, as if he was answering Lin Qiaoer, but also as if he was talking to himself.
As an ace special forces soldier, Liu Ziqiu has the power to modify cold weapons such as firearms and daggers by himself. During his four-year military career, Liu Ziqiu not only learned various killing techniques, but also skillfully used various machine tools. He even learned
Precision casting, but it cannot smelt iron ore into iron.
Lin Qiaoer saw the anxiety on Liu Ziqiu's face and blurted out: "My lord, didn't you say that Lord He is a talent?"
Because He Chou had made Ruyi Cars, Fan Lihua hated him deeply. If Liu Ziqiu had not considered that he was a talented person in making machinery, he would have been executed long ago. Liu Ziqiu had also asked He Chou at the beginning, and He Chou claimed to be able to refine pig iron and
Bintie, I was just so excited today that I actually forgot about this. After Lin Qiaoer reminded me, Liu Ziqiu suddenly realized it and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I will leave this matter to He Chou! Qiaoer, thank you for reminding me.
I want to reward you well!"
Lin Qiaoer winked playfully and said, "What reward does the king want to give to this slave?"
In the past, Lin Qiaoer would not have dared to talk to Liu Ziqiu like this. Now that she took the initiative to make a joke, it meant that she had let go of her heart and said goodbye to the past completely. Liu Ziqiu was also very happy and took Lin Qiaoer into his arms.
Whispered in her ear: "Tonight, I want you!"
Lin Qiaoer had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, but when she heard it, she felt inexplicably flustered and shied away: "Your Majesty, I, I will send someone to invite Mr. He."
Since that night of drunkenness, Liu Ziqiu has figured out a lot of things. Several maids have been added to the government office, all of them are young and beautiful Xianbei girls. Most Xianbei people have fair skin, and Xianbei women are tall and plump. Therefore, in the Sui Dynasty, many
Families with status and status like to keep Xianbei concubines, called white slaves. Liu Ziqiu keeps several Xianbei women at home, of course, not for his own enjoyment, but to take care of Lin Qiaoer and his mother. Liu Ziqiu is still quite chauvinistic. Now that he has
If he is ready to accept Lin Qiaoer as his woman, he will not let Lin Qiaoer continue to do rough work.
"Don't worry, let He Chou come over tomorrow. I want you now!" Liu Ziqiu was not only chauvinistic, but also very domineering. He didn't allow Lin Qiaoer to avoid him. He lowered his head and kissed her, but one hand had already untied Lin Qiaoer's wrists.
Clothes belt, the room is filled with spring scenery.
Half an hour later, Lin Qiaoer's body began to shake violently, and her fair skin turned crimson. Liu Ziqiu's movements became faster and faster, and with a low growl, the two hugged each other tightly without saying a word.
Lin Qiaoer closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, silently recalling the feeling just now. She never thought that doing such a thing would feel so comfortable. In the past four years, Lin Qiaoer has experienced many men. But these men
It only brought her coercion and humiliation, and never a feeling of pleasure. This was the first time she was satisfied, from psychological to sexual satisfaction.
However, the shadow of Gao Xiuer appeared in front of Liu Ziqiu's eyes, and his voice and smile were so clear, which made him feel a little more guilty.
Suddenly, soft footsteps sounded outside the door, and a crisp female voice came in through the crack in the door. Lin Qiaoer opened her eyes and agreed casually, and the footsteps gradually went away. They were speaking in Xianbei dialect, and Liu Ziqiu couldn't hear it.
Understood, he asked softly: "Is there something going on outside?"
Lin Qiaoer smiled and said: "It's Xiaolian, let her know that dinner is ready."
Xiaolian is also one of those Xianbei girls. This Chinese name was given to her by Lin Qiaoer. Lin Qiaoer chose this name for another meaning. In fact, she wanted to hint to Liu Ziqiu that although her body was stained with mud, her heart was still good.
As pure as a lotus flower. The Xianbei girls who were selected into the government office were naturally the best in appearance and figure. Those who were able to be kept by Lin Qiaoer were even more clever. Seeing Lin Qiaoer and Liu Ziqiu close the door, Xiaolian knew that they were here.
What to do? But Xiaolian didn't dare to stay away. She kept standing outside the door and listened until there was no movement for a while, then she asked for help. In fact, dinner had been prepared long ago.
It was okay not to mention dinner. When it came to dinner, Liu Ziqiu really felt hungry in his belly. However, the Xianbei dialect spoken by Lin Qiaoer and Xiaolian made him think of another thing. Xihai County is composed of many different tribes. These
Each tribe has its own language and living habits. Even during the Tuyuhun period established by Murong Fuyun, it could not be called a real country. At most, it could only be regarded as a tribal alliance. If he wanted to enter the Central Plains, he must have strong people.
As a backing, a tribal alliance is obviously not enough. In addition to military means such as establishing a standing army, it is also necessary to turn Xihai County into a whole through cultural dissemination.
The men, women and children of various tribes were busy herding horses and sheep, and fighting for better pastures, which made Liu Ziqiu think of establishing a standing army; he accidentally discovered coal during an outing, which made Liu Ziqiu feel the possibility of obtaining high-quality steel; a brief Xianbei story
Through conversations in Chinese, Liu Ziqiu discovered the importance of promoting culture. Many things are actually just a thought. The key to whether you can grasp it lies in your intention.
…
On the evening of the same day, Gao Xiuer, Li Jing, Wei Zheng, Hua Yun and Xiao Dapeng gathered in the courtyard of the Liu family in Changshan Village. Some of these people were in Yuhang, some in Yanguan, and some in Changshan. It was a rare meeting today.
They got together because there was a major matter to discuss. When Liu Ziqiu left Changshan Village, he entrusted Wei Zheng with full authority to handle all matters. Later, Wei Zheng learned that Li Jing and Hua Yun were Liu Ziqiu's sworn brothers, especially Li Jing who knew Liu Ziqiu's
In order to achieve his ambition, he took the initiative to hand over the power to Li Jing. His magnanimity and magnanimity were truly incomparable.
After everyone sat down, Wei Zheng looked at Li Jing. Li Jing was not humble and said, "I just received a letter from the Xie family. From today on, they will only pay for the food and salary of the thousand soldiers stationed in Moling. They will no longer pay for the troops in Changshan Village."
Provide additional support. What do you think about this?”
Xiao Dapeng secretly glanced at Gao Xiuer and said nonchalantly: "What's so great about the Xie family? Without their support, our Changshan Village will still be prosperous!"
Hua Yun frowned and said: "Without the support of the Xie family, Yingyang Mansion cannot afford to support the extra two thousand troops."
Xiao Dapeng had never had a good impression of Hua Yun. He snorted coldly and said, "If you can't afford it, don't raise it. What's the big deal."
Wei Zheng raised his head, looked at everyone, and asked, "What do you think?"
Gao Xiuer did not speak, but shook his head slightly. Hua Yun sighed helplessly.
Li Jing said with regret on his face: "In this case, those two thousand soldiers have no choice but to be dismissed."
In Changshan Village, Hua Yun and Xiao Dapeng each control a force. Xiao Dapeng controls the Changshan Carriage and Horse Company, and Hua Yun controls two thousand soldiers. Some of the clerks in the Changshan Car and Horse Company are also soldiers, so
The power in the hands of Xiao Dapeng and Hua Yun should be about the same. As for the three thousand private soldiers, they are actually in the hands of Li Jing and Wei Zheng. This is the power that truly belongs to Changshan Village. Now the Xie family has taken away a thousand people
, the remaining two thousand people are even more important.
Although these two thousand soldiers and horses were not under Hua Yun's direct command, they were still his second brother Liu Ziqiu's troops. Now they were forced to disband because they had no money. Hua Yun was in a bad mood, so he stood up and said, "Then what else is there to discuss?"
Yes, Hua took leave first!"
Looking at Hua Yun's hurried away figure, Xiao Dapeng felt slightly proud and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Brother Li, there is something else to do at the horse and carriage shop, so I will leave first."
In fact, everything in the carriage shop was running normally, but Xiao Dapeng had always coveted Gao Xiuer's beauty but could not get it. Feeling depressed, he asked someone to fetch two beauties from Jiangdu. He was anxious to go back to enjoy and have sex with her.
As soon as Hua Yun and Xiao Dapeng left, only Gao Xiuer, Li Jing and Wei Zheng were left in the hall.
Gao Xiuer then said: "Brother Li, Mr. Wei, in your opinion, are there any problems between Brother Hua and Brother Xiao?"
Wei Zheng thought for a while and said: "Hua Yun has always been loyal to the imperial court, but he is willing to raise three thousand private soldiers in the name of Yingyang Mansion for the Lord, so he should be able to win. It's just Xiao Dapeng's attitude that I always feel is not quite right!"
Only Gao Xiuer, Li Jing and Wei Zheng knew the secret of Liu Ziqiu's plan to take advantage of the chaos in the world. Many major matters were discussed privately by the three of them. There was no need to invite Hua Yun and Xiao Dapeng to discuss together. However, Changshan Village has always been
The support of the Xie family is something that they all know. Now that the Xie family has stopped providing assistance, according to common sense, the two thousand people cannot be saved, and there is no reason to hide it from the two of them.
More importantly, the north is already in chaos, and the war may spread to the south of the Yangtze River. At this time, soldiers and horses are indispensable. With enough soldiers and horses, you can protect yourself when you retreat, and you can conquer the Central Plains when you advance. Wei Zheng, Li Jing
They are all smart people, so they naturally refuse to let go of this great opportunity. They have already discussed with Gao Xiuer that not only will they not give up these two thousand troops, but they will also try to expand the scale. Now, Hua Yun refuses to give up these two thousand troops.
Horse, but Xiao Dapeng didn't care. It was obvious at a glance who was public and who was private between the two of them.
Li Jing also nodded and said: "My brothers and sisters should still remember what happened when Shi'er and the others came over. Xiao Dapeng's behavior was bad, and Li felt that he was no longer suitable to be the shopkeeper of Changshan Carriage and Horse Racing Shop."
Thinking of how her second uncle Xiao Xin had taken good care of her when she was living in Changshan Village, Gao Xiuer felt a little soft-hearted, shook her head and said: "Forget it, Xiao Dapeng is still young after all, and it is inevitable that he will do some outrageous things. Let's give him another chance."
"Let's discuss it first. If we want to keep those two thousand troops or even continue to expand the army, where will the food and wages come from?"
