Chapter 322 The second step of the five-year plan (1+1)
Three days later.
At the foot of Longshan Mountain.
"Don't worry, sir, the drawings of these weapons are very rough and it is not difficult to build them."
Hao Dadao held more than a dozen weapon drawings in his hand, which Wei Cheng had drawn in the past two days according to Huangfu Song's request, with slight improvements, and with the help of Liu He and Cai Yan.
He didn't quite understand the ancient drawing scales, so he could only explain this aspect verbally.
Liu He and Cai Yan are both talented women who have studied with famous teachers since childhood. Mere drawings are nothing to them.
However, what Wei Cheng didn't know was that his improved weapon blueprints were secretly remembered by Liu He, wondering if he could build some himself if he had the opportunity later... Of course, this is a story later.
Wei Cheng's main purpose in building these weapons was to pay Huangfu Song's salary. Therefore, these weapons were not sophisticated to Wei Cheng. Some of the forging techniques and requirements were at most hundreds of years ahead of this era, probably
Top craftsmanship in the mid-Tang Dynasty.
However, even so, it is enough to meet Huangfusong's requirements, and it can even bring him some surprises.
"Then, everyone, let's get together again during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year. Then you will all go to Anyi County, and I will be the host in person."
Wei Cheng stood on the carriage shaft, cupped hands with Hao Dadao and others and said.
Everyone returned the gift one after another and respectfully sent Wei Cheng and his party off.
This time out, except for Wei Cheng, everyone else had a lot of fun, especially Zhong Chan, Aning and Niu Niu. The three of them had a lot of fun following the children in the village every day, and they wished they could live here directly.
Back in the city at this time, Zhong Chan was still chirping in the carriage and talking about interesting things in the past few days, which made everyone laugh.
Wei Cheng turned his head to look at Cai Yan, and saw her rubbing her belly, her eyes full of motherly glory, and asked curiously: "What's wrong? You don't feel well?"
Cai Yan looked up, smiled slightly and said, "No."
Wei Cheng tucked the soft cushion behind her back and said, "After you go back this time, you don't want to go out. You can stay at home and wait for the birth."
Cai Yan rarely objected this time. He nodded stupidly and said, "I know, it only lasts three months, so I will listen to you."
"There's something wrong with you today." Wei Cheng smiled and took her hand, placed it in his palm and massaged it gently.
Seeing this, Cai Yan blushed a bit, glanced at the hand held by Wei Cheng, and gently nestled her body in Wei Cheng's arms.
"Husband, when the children grow up, how about we return to Longshan for retirement?"
Wei Cheng was startled when he heard this, nodded and replied: "Of course, as long as you don't mind being poor, I actually prefer the environment of a thatched cottage."
"Seriously!" Cai Yan couldn't help but raise his head.
Wei Teng looked down at her, his eyes falling on those red lips, and he nodded slightly, "Of course."
···
Another day.
The bell tower in the center of Anyi County.
Tian Feng and several stewards arranged a row of half-person-high wooden tables neatly in the most conspicuous place.
Such a large battle instantly attracted the attention of a large number of merchants and passers-by, many of whom were members of aristocratic families and even rushed back to inform the family head.
Tian Feng glanced at the people leaving, and arranged for everyone to place objects covered with white cloth on the long table one by one. These objects were large and small, long and short, because they were covered with white cloth, but they were
Can't see clearly.
The onlookers were looking forward to it, and there were various opinions on the spot.
"Is it possible that the City Guards are recruiting troops again?"
During the Chinese New Year, a long table was set up here once, and that time the Wei family selected a lot of talents, including people who were good at water, young and powerful hunters, and even cooks and cattle cooks, and just butchers were also recruited.
That recruitment really made a lot of people envious of me. After all, I was going to serve in the City Guards. Not only did I have the protection of the Wei family, I could also be assigned a good residence outside the city. The most important thing was that I had the opportunity to enter Longshan.
military.
Who doesn't know that the City Guards, which has the largest number of people today, is actually where the Wei family trains talents. Some people advance from the City Guards to the Longshan Army and become famous in one battle, while others are assigned to the Wei family based on their superb skills.
Industry is in charge.
For example, that butcher was obviously just a slaughterer of pigs and sheep, but now he was a steward of the No. 2 Satellite City (breeding farm). Not only was he assigned a large yard, but his monthly salary and benefits were also incredible.
Moreover, the most enviable thing is that many aristocratic families will go to him in various ways to get the best meat. The poor have no pursuit in this regard, but the rich do not care about money for the sake of their lust for words.
Just as everyone was talking about it, people from the aristocratic family finally rushed over.
Old man Xie came very quickly this time because he happened to be listening to music with Xie Jin at a teahouse not far away.
"Thank you, Mr. Tian Feng." Tian Feng bowed his hands and bowed.
Old Mrs. Xie showed a kind smile and returned the gift to Tian Feng. He looked at the objects covered with white cloth on the table and asked curiously: "Yuan Hao, what's the show today?"
Tian Yuanhao, also known as Tian Feng, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you, please be patient. Please wait a moment, the young master will be here soon."
Old Master Xie was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became interested and laughed loudly: "That boy rarely makes any noise. I have nothing to do, so I stayed here to watch the excitement."
Tian Feng did not dare to neglect, and immediately asked the steward to move a soft couch to the restaurant next to him, and also prepared tea and pastries.
Old Master Xie glanced sideways at Tian Feng and said pointedly: "Yuan Hao, your temperament has softened a lot in the past few months."
Tian Feng was startled when he heard this, then he smiled noncommittally and said: "There is no way, people will change."
Old lady Xie picked up the tea bowl, fiddled with the foam, and sighed.
When Tian Feng first came to Hedong County, his character was somewhat outspoken, and he did things very radically without regard for the consequences.
Looking at him now, he looks like a different person. His ability aside, his temperament has really improved a lot, and he is now a person who can do great things... Old Master Xie thought.
At this time, a burst of noise attracted the attention of several people.
I saw a few richly dressed young men from aristocratic families squeezed into the crowd. Each of them was riding a bicycle. They looked majestic and cast disdainful glances at the pedestrians blocking the road.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Old Mrs. Xie's originally smiling face suddenly turned a bit colder.
Xie Jin looked up and couldn't help but feel silent for the little guy who took the lead, because that person was none other than Xie Hui, the eldest son of brother Xie Jin, the eldest grandson of the Xie family, and Xie Yu's brother.
Tian Feng obviously saw this scene and recognized the identity of the person. Originally, he wanted the city guards to deal with it, but after thinking about it, he stopped the city guards and turned to look at Xie
Old lady.
Old Master Xie sighed softly, "I made you laugh, no need to hurt my face, just deal with it how you want."
After Tian Feng heard this, he no longer hesitated and looked at the city guard captain beside him. The latter clasped his fists in a salute and led his men directly over to drive away several young men from aristocratic families.

"Sir, this wine tastes weird. It's better to drink water." Dian Wei stuck out his tongue and looked at Wei Cheng with some resentment.
Wei Cheng was also speechless. Beer was such a good thing, but he didn’t know how to taste it.
Wei Cheng took a sip and said with a smile: "This is a liquid steamed bun. Oh, forget it, you don't understand."
The corner of Dian Wei's mouth twitched, he took out the small wine bottle given to him by Wei Cheng from his arms, unscrewed the cap, and took a sip of Erguotou. Only then did he feel that the strange taste in his mouth was much better.
"Hey, there are a lot of people!" Wei Cheng looked at the square under the bell tower. It was already crowded with people.
Dian Wei's leopard eyes narrowed unconsciously, he put the wine bottle back into his arms and tightened the saber on his waist.
It will take some time for Wei Cheng to customize the double halberds for him, because they use special steel and are not easy to forge, so this time they have to wait.
"Let's go, let's not go in and find a seat in the teahouse opposite." Wei Cheng and Dian Wei said.
The two of them walked into the teahouse and found that it was also crowded. Fortunately, the shopkeeper had the habit of reserving private seats. There happened to be an independent space on the third floor terrace for distinguished guests.
Wei and Cheng were led down to the third floor by the shopkeeper, and stood leaning on the railing, just enough to have an unobstructed view of the crowd.
As if feeling something in his heart, Tian Feng raised his head and looked at him.
Wei Cheng made a shushing gesture and signaled that he could start.
Tian Feng bowed his hand in a salute, causing several heads of aristocratic families on the side to look up, only to find that Wei Cheng had already arrived.
Old Grandpa Xie and the people from the Cai family looked at each other and said angrily and amusedly: "Look, I just said that he deliberately lured us to make things happen. This kid is very cunning."
The person from the Cai family was Cai Yong's younger brother and one of the clan elders who held real power. He raised his eyes and nodded to Wei Cheng from afar, and responded with a smile: "Let's wait and see. If it's not a novelty, let's do it."
Go up and trouble him."
Grandpa Xie twisted his beard and chuckled, "I'm afraid you, an old guy, won't be able to let me go."
The elder of the Cai clan did not reply. He really couldn't bear it. Not to mention that Wei Cheng was Cai's uncle, but the glory that Wei Cheng had brought to the Cai clan was enough for Wei Cheng to gain the respect of the Cai clan.
Dangdang~
Tian Feng stepped forward to the high platform, rang the gong, and said loudly: "Everyone, I think many people are curious about the objects under the white cloth. Tian will not be too dismissive. Please give up a piece of open space.
How about letting Tian show it to everyone?"
Someone in the crowd responded immediately, calling on the onlookers to step aside, leaving an open space of about ten square meters.
Tian Feng saw this and clapped his hands with satisfaction.
Immediately, several people dressed in different clothes came out from the side, each standing in an empty seat, looking at Tian Feng on the stage with a reserved expression.
Many people had doubts on their faces, because of the seven people who came out, two of them were obviously dressed as farmers, and their dark and chapped skin was covered with traces of sun and wind. As for the other five, they were also not very talented.
man of.
At this time, Tian Feng had already walked behind the first item, grabbed a corner of the white cloth with both hands, and opened it with force.
The originally noisy scene immediately fell silent.
Because the objects on the long table have quite strange shapes, no one knows what they are used for.
Tian Feng saw this and looked at the only woman among the seven people calmly.
The woman was about twenty-three or four years old, with an average appearance. She looked timid and seemed not used to being surrounded by so many people.
Seeing Tian Feng looking at her, she plucked up the courage and walked onto the high platform carrying a bamboo basket.
Tian Feng signaled her to operate normally. The woman bowed respectfully to Tian Feng and sat on the long stool next to the long table.
At this time, Tian Feng looked towards the crowd. After looking around, he pointed at a girl who looked quite cute.
"Come on, let's sew a single dress for that little girl. Take your time, don't rush." Tian Feng said with a smile.
The woman looked at the little girl in the crowd, nodded slightly, then took out a piece of exquisite silk and satin from the bamboo basket, and took scissors and other objects, then looked at the little girl, and started operating in an orderly manner.
The previous actions were nothing special, until the woman placed the cut silk satin on the object.
Dah la la...
The woman stepped on the pedal and skillfully moved the rotating shaft on the side. In just a cup of tea, she finished a delicate and beautiful single garment, and also carefully added some patterns to the single garment.
Tian Feng took the unlined garment, jumped off the high platform, walked to the little girl, and said to the woman holding the little girl: "Mrs. Sun, I gave this unlined garment to your daughter. You can let her try it out to see if it fits."
fit."
The woman took the unlined garment and asked in surprise, "Mr. Tian, can you make a dress so quickly?"
Tian Feng responded with a smile: "This thing is called a sewing machine. It will be sold in department stores in the future. If Mrs. Sun is interested, she can buy one and try it at home. In addition to sewing clothes, this thing has many wonderful uses. We will talk about it later."
There are special instructions for sale.”
"Ah, okay, okay, thank you sir, I will be the first one to support you later."
At this time, the little girl had already put on single clothes. The novel style and the decoration on the clothes made the little girl even more charming and cute, causing many women with children to look over.
I was amazed for a while.
Tian Feng stepped onto the high platform again, smiled and bowed hands with everyone.
"This thing is called a sewing machine. As for its wonderful functions, everyone has just seen it. If you are interested in buying it, you can send someone to the nearby department store to register, and we will supply it to you as soon as possible."
"The next thing is the second one. This one is really important. Many of the people here must be from bankers. Tian has a small problem and wants to ask for your advice."
Hearing this, everyone looked curiously at Tian Feng and the white cloth in front of him.
Tian Feng asked with a smile: "I wonder how many acres of land you can plow in a day?"
This question is simple. Immediately, an experienced farmer shouted: "Mr. Huitian, if it is ordinary dry land and there are cattle, it can plow at least seven acres a day, and at most ten acres. Of course, the premise is that there are two
The cattle are rotated.”
Another old farmer who was wearing relatively poor clothes said loudly: "That is the condition only a wealthy family can have. Mountain people like us can only plow three acres of land a day, and the whole family works together."
When Tian Feng heard this, he bowed his hands to the old farmer, and then said with a smile: "After today, I will never have to work so hard again."
The old farmer was stunned.
But Tian Feng lifted up the white cloth, revealing a curved shaft plow and a small human-powered one-wheeled iron plow.
