Liu Zhang put down the bamboo slips and looked at Huang Yue.
"Miss Huang, speaking of this, I am sorry for you..."
As soon as she said the three words "I'm sorry", Huang Yue's jade face turned white, thinking of that evening on Elm Street.
"I'm sorry" and "Thank you", I just think they have the same result.
Wringing his fingers, Huang Yue lowered his head and said slowly: "I understand, Da Ru is here to deal with the Cao Jun envoy. Da Ru only has Miss Xiao in his heart. Huang Yue understands, understands." Huang Yue smiled after speaking.
, smiling a little bitterly.
"What do you understand?" Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yue strangely. Huang Yue raised her head in astonishment. Liu Zhang said, "I didn't even ask for your consent for this matter, so I just said that. Although it was forced by the situation, Ronger didn't want to
I don’t want anyone else to become the first wife, and I don’t want the Cao family to become the first wife, but if you don’t want to, it will be bad for your reputation..."
"I do..." Huang Yue blurted out, suddenly realizing that he had lost his composure, and a faint blush appeared on his fair face.
Since Elm Street, my thoughts have been suppressed for too long. During the nine months when the Sichuan Army went on the expedition, why did I, a yellow-flowered girl, stay in the Mufu?
Although it was to take care of Liu Xun, this reason was too far-fetched. Even the maid couldn't hide it. In her dreams countless times, she just wanted to wait for Liu Zhang to say a word. Ever since she heard Liu Zhang say in front of all the civil and military officials in Fancheng,
When he wanted to make himself his wife, he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart. That's why he was so disappointed when Liu Zhang said "I'm sorry."
Listening to what Liu Zhang said now, I was just afraid that Liu Zhang didn't understand his state of mind and missed the result of his wait. He just relaxed his heart and couldn't restrain himself. He said what he wanted to say, but after he finished speaking, he realized that he had made a mistake and his face turned red.
, stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.
Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yue and saw her two pairs of white jade hands pulling each other in front of her lower abdomen, indicating that she was in chaotic thoughts. He stretched out his hand and pulled Huang Yue over. The quilt was lifted, and the bamboo slips on it made a rattling noise.
All fell aside.
Liu Zhang pulled Huang Yue to the bed. Huang Yue was stunned for a moment. As soon as he touched Liu Zhang's body, his whole body stiffened.
Liu Zhang covered himself with the quilt and held Huang Yue, who had tight skin, in his arms. Huang Yue was at a loss and didn't dare to break away. However, it was the first time he came into contact with a man's body. The hot breath from Liu Zhang's body made him upset.
, there seemed to be countless deer bumping around in my heart.
"If you are willing, you can be my wife." Liu Zhang whispered in Huang Yue's ear.
Huang Yue's head shrank, and it took a long time to regain some consciousness. He opened his hands for a while, hesitantly hugged Liu Zhang's waist, and snuggled docilely into Liu Zhang's arms. At this time, he raised his head and looked at Liu Zhang: "Da Ru, then
Do you still care about your previous scruples?”
Huang Yue looked at Liu Zhang steadily, and Liu Zhang sighed softly: "I used to be too worried about Ming Yao. Now I don't even know if Ming Yao can live, and how long Ming Yao can live. To consider such a long distance
What?"
Although after Huang Yueying analyzed the internal affairs, Liu Zhang was no longer as pessimistic about his future as before. He believed that the number of nine-to-one was a narrow escape from death, but he never dared to take it lightly.
I'm afraid that when Huang Yueying's senior brother Zhang Jiao and the million-strong army revolted, he also thought that he would be able to win the title. Huang Yueying's expectations were all idealistic and there were too many variables. At least so far, he still has no foundation and a family.
The power is surging, not to mention the ten years that Huang Yueying said, can he wait for it?
Logically speaking, his future is dangerous and he should not harm Huang Yue. However, Huang Quan and himself have already been tied to a chariot. Huang Yue has been in the Mufu for a year. Everyone knows that even if there is no incident in Fancheng, at this time
No matter how hard you find some high-sounding reasons to excuse yourself, you won't be worthy of being a man at all.
In fact, for Huang Yue and Xiao Furong, it no longer matters whether their future is dangerous or not.
Liu Zhang smiled and said to Huang Yue: "Look at our home, you have taken care of it in an orderly manner. Xun'er can write poems and articles with peace of mind when I am not around. The maids are lively and well behaved. If not,
You don’t know what the chaos is like, is this still a home?”
Huang Yue gradually adapted to being held by Liu Zhang, her pink face resting on Liu Zhang's chest, and she said softly: "I don't know how many times I have been laughed at by those maids when I entered the house. If you are not willing to give me a status, I will not give you a place in the house."
I don’t know how I will live in the future.”
Huang Yue thought about it at this time, and she was really scared. She didn't think so much at first. She had the reason to take care of Liu Xun, so she moved in naturally. But once she moved in, even though she warned herself many times that it was not good, she still couldn't.
Consciously stay in it without leaving.
Until almost everyone knew what he was thinking, what a desolate scene it would be if he didn't get the promise he wanted in the end, Liu Zhang came back, and he was forced to leave here?
I never thought that I would definitely get the promise before, but why didn't I think of such consequences?
But now all that was a worry. With Liu Zhang, that nightmare would never happen to him again. Huang Yue felt more at ease than ever before and couldn't help but hug Liu Zhang tighter.
"So, you agreed?" Liu Zhang turned over, pressed Huang Yue's body underneath, and stared at her from above.
Huang Yue thought to herself, "You are like this, how can I refuse to agree?" But when she felt Liu Zhang's gaze, her whole body felt like it was being scratched, her pink face turned red, and she avoided Liu Zhang's gaze. After a while, she felt coy.
Nod.
At the same time, Liu Zhang pressed his body against Huang Yue's and kissed Huang Yue's lips all at once. He felt infinite sweetness and moistness. Once they kissed, he never wanted to separate. Huang Yue was caught off guard and said "um",
First he widened his eyes, then closed them, fluttering his long eyelashes, and responded awkwardly.
After a long time, it wasn't until Liu Zhang put one of his hands through his clothes and touched something sensitive through Huang Yue's clothes that Huang Yue woke up.
"no, do not want……"
Huang Yue stretched her jade body impatiently, her lips were let go, and she was breathing heavily. She pushed Liu Zhang away with both hands and looked at Liu Zhang with twitching eyes: "Wait a minute, okay? I want to wait until we get married."
Give everything to Da Ru and ask for Da Ru."
Huang Yue begged, although she was willing in her heart, but coming from a famous family, she still couldn't accept it.
Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yue who was exhaling like blue, kissed her gently on the lips, lay down next to Jiaru, hugged Huang Yue again and said: "Then tell me, when will I hand you over to you?"
?”
Seeing Liu Zhang's evil smile, Huang Yue's face turned red, and the hand that was wrapped around Liu Zhang couldn't help but pinch Liu Zhang's back.
"I think it's common sense, three months later." Liu Zhang saw that Huang Yue didn't speak, and he didn't seem to know how to answer. He could only speak to himself. He just looked at the shy look on Huang Yue's dignified face, and hugged Wenrun
The jade body of Huang Yue was pressed against his chest by two tall and straight balls. He couldn't help but feel a little impulse in his lower body. He was afraid that Huang Yue would notice, so he moved his body back a little.
"It's Xun'er's birthday in three months, and Mrs. Yun is here... How can you get married? It's better to postpone it." As soon as Huang Yueguang wanted to wait for three months, he felt empty in his heart, but
In order to take the overall situation into consideration, we can only suppress the expectations in our hearts.
Liu Zhang was stunned. He almost forgot about this. He didn't remember last year, which caused Liu Xun to go in alone to worship his mother. He couldn't do that again this time. Although he had no feelings for that "Yun Furu",
But Liu Xun's life must be taken care of by him.
"Then why not advance? I think it will only be two months." Liu Zhang said.
Huang Yue looked at Liu Zhang's urgent gaze and couldn't think of anything to say to refuse, so he nodded: "It's all up to Da Ru."
"My name is Da Ru, and the sound is nice." Liu Zhang came closer to Huang Yue's beautiful face, caressing her smooth face and said.
Huang Yue hesitated for a long time, then blushed and shouted: "Husband", his voice was like a mosquito. Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yue's shy look, his voice was soft and drunk, and his whole body became even more uncomfortable.
Jiaru swallowed it in one gulp.
Liu Zhang crawled out of bed and lay half on the couch. Huang Yue also got up and leaned next to Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang picked up Liu Xun's poems and said to Huang Yue: "Come, let's take a look at the masterpieces written by our son."
Huang Yue's heart felt sweet, and she picked up a bamboo slip, leaned against each other, and looked at Liu Xun's poems. Liu Xun's writing was not very good, but it was also full of childishness, especially those articles about "Anbang Dingguo"
, Huang Yue couldn't help but smile after seeing it. She finally got rid of her embarrassment and snuggled next to Liu Zhang, like two people who had been together for a long time.
......... After raising the sun, the ministers came to the main hall early. Liu Zhang had just returned to the capital and did not want to leave a bad impression. Moreover, all officials had received orders for rewards. All officials were at least one level higher. In this way
Under such circumstances, everyone is naturally highly motivated.
"See my lord."
Liu Zhang came out with a powerful crowd, and the civil and military officials bowed down together with loud voices and high spirits.
"I have just returned to Chengdu. I am very pleased to see everyone working hard." Liu Zhang sat on the throne.
"Serve the Lord, even to the death."
Liu Zhang asked Huang Quan: "Have all the promotions of officials in Yizhou been announced?"
Huang Quan bowed and said yes.
Liu Zhang nodded and said to all the officials: "We, the two states of Jingyi and Jingyi, have experienced successive wars and suffered disasters. Now, we have entered a period of resting our troops to support our people. In the next few months, you will continue to perform your duties as usual and listen to Huang in everything."
For those who have entered the university, there are a few other things that need to be prepared. First, the four civil service examinations are coming again. They must not be abolished. We should still try our best to select Jingyi talents like last year. The spring examination that was originally mentioned did not take place due to the war.
After the autumn exam, you should also start preparing.
Second, it is expected that Cao Cao will marry his daughter in early September, so Huang Daru can arrange to bring her back, and start to choose a good day in September for my marriage to Miss Huang.
Third, the floods in Jingzhou have basically subsided, but reconstruction requires a lot of investment and material resources. Yizhou must fully support it. You should work harder for reconstruction and for the victims."
"We will do our best." The ministers said in unison.
"Okay, Huang Quan, Zhang Song, Wang Lei, Fazheng and Zhang Ren will stay, and the others will return to their respective posts."
The ministers retired, Liu Zhang went out, Fazheng, Huang Quan and others followed. When they arrived in the courtyard of the Mufu, Hu Che'er and some soldiers stood guard in a circle. There was a basket in the middle, and in the basket were some letters.
.
Zhou Buyi was flipping through the slips, and when he saw some pictures and texts, he smacked his thigh excitedly from time to time. Others thought he was crazy.
The soldiers set up a circle of chairs and placed a long square table in the middle, with tea and peanuts thrown on top. When several people saw the formation, they knew that something big was going on.
Fazheng sat down first, and the others also found a place to sit down. Except for Zhang Song, he picked up a peanut and just peeled it, making a clicking sound. He looked at everyone and put it down honestly. The others looked at it.
To Liu Zhang.
Liu Zhang pulled out his chair, took the main seat, and said to the others: "Everyone, please feel free. What we are going to talk about today is the basic policies for the next three to five years. There is nothing much that can be accomplished by talking about this, but
I can't just have the final say. I come to you, firstly to inform you, and secondly, to solicit your opinions. If there is anything unreasonable, feel free to put it forward."
Wang Xu commanded the soldiers to distribute a book to each member. The other members looked through it carefully, some frowned, and some eyes brightened. Fazheng picked it up, flipped through two pages and put it down. These are Huang Yueying's political affairs.
I have already read the strategy, and I have already mentioned the comments that should be made.
Liu Zhang picked up the book in his hand, raised it and said: "The strategies above were proposed by military counselor Huang Yueying. They mainly concern four aspects: money and food, recruiting talents, people's hearts, and soldiers. I think it makes sense. The first three points
Jingzhou is already implementing it, and I think Yizhou should also implement it. Do you have any opinions?"
Several people looked at the clauses above carefully, while Liu Zhang ate and waited.
Wang Fu read a few pages, raised his head and said: "My lord, it doesn't matter to open up farmland or absorb refugees. There are two inconveniences to absorbing foreigners into farming. The first is that those foreigners are unruly and uncivilized, and are prone to trouble.
, Secondly, what if a large number of foreigners really come in and the foreign barbarians think that we have weakened their strength and raise troops to cause trouble?"
"When barbarians cause trouble, deal with barbarians. When Han invaders cause trouble, deal with Han immigrants. Just do two things. First, deal with them fairly, and publish the handling process in detail. Try to be as open and transparent as possible, so that Han immigrants can be dealt with."
Both the foreigners and the barbarians have a clear understanding of the situation. Secondly, try to separate the barbarian farming areas from the Han people’s farming areas."
There are countless incidents in history of absorbing foreign people into farming. In the middle and late period of the Three Kingdoms, Soochow absorbed many Shanyue people into farming fields. As for the disadvantages, Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying have already thought about it.
"As for the barbarians raising troops to cause nuisance." Liu Zhang peeled off a peanut and put it in his mouth: "Although we have suspended our troops to support the people, can't we still deal with a few foreigners? Don't worry about the Wuxi barbarians, Nanzhong
The barbarians will be defended by Li Hui of Jiangzhou, and the Qiang from the west will be left to invade. We will talk about the soldiers and armor later."
Wang Fu nodded and was about to continue reading when Liu Zhang added: "I would like to add two more points to this. All the prisoners in Jingyi Prefecture will be reformed through labor. They will not have to go to jail. They will either work or open up wasteland and farmland.
If you do well, your sentence will be reduced.
All barbarians who marry Han immigrants, regardless of gender, can obtain Han nationality and become Han citizens."
Wang Fu and everyone were shocked when they heard the last sentence. After thinking about it carefully, they realized the cleverness of this strategy. Who would be willing to become a barbarian if they could become Han people, especially those barbarian girls who would not go out desperately?
Fortunately, the barbarians are ignorant of politics and have a little bit of brains to know that this will destroy them from the foundation.
Huang Quan frowned slightly when he saw the training officials and reserve officials. He knew the consequences of doing so. Nowadays, because the noble families have knowledge, the officials are basically from those big families, so they can still ask for whatever they want from the government, thinking that the government is afraid of them, as long as they
They didn't go too far, even Liu Zhang couldn't do anything to them.
But this strategy, using a large number of common people from poor families, will undoubtedly melt the ice and snow that the family is most proud of, and will definitely aggravate the panic of the family. When the family panics, their nerves will be tense, and their nerves will be tense.
I don't know what will happen.
However, Huang Quan also knew that although the balance could be maintained now, the government was under heavy pressure, and the family was dormant, disaster would eventually occur. In this case, it would be better to strike first, so he did not say anything.
But later I saw that the common people were working long-term and part-time to monitor the aristocratic clan. As long as the clan rebelled, after the clan was exterminated, the land and property would be distributed as appropriate and reported to the people. Huang Quan was shocked. Huang Quan really couldn't figure it out. How could Huang Yueying be so ruthless as a child of an aristocratic family?
Sure enough, the most terrifying thing in the world is women.
"Lord." Huang Quan finished reading, closed the book and said: "There is nothing wrong with these strategies, but my subordinates feel that they are a little impatient. If we must implement them, we need to guard against two aspects. One is the dissatisfaction of the wealthy families, and the other is the dissatisfaction of the wealthy families.
If foreigners are dissatisfied, they may use violent means to resist the lord's policies."
"Aren't you going to stop hunting if you're afraid of tigers?" Liu Zhang said solemnly: "I know they will complain, but I believe they don't dare. Now Cao Cao is fighting Yuan Shao, and we have naval forces to deal with Sun Quan, and they can't threaten him.
We, the internal clans and some primitive foreign races are even less likely to be our opponents.
I am afraid that those with evil intentions will not rebel. If they rebel, I will eradicate them completely. If they can still lie dormant until the policies are fully implemented, then they will have nothing to threaten us. You think so?
?"
What Liu Zhang hated the most was that the noble families could endure and always played dirty tricks. Liu Zhang also knew that the noble families under his rule were submissive on the surface but had ulterior motives, but they couldn't find any evidence. They were like loaches, slippery and unwilling to hold back.
There is no foreign invasion now. If these people rebel, I will just concentrate on countering the rebellion. If in the future, when Cao Cao decides to conquer the north, the Jiangdong naval force develops, and Liu Bei rises, these noble clans will rebel, it will be really a big trouble.
This is what happened when he went on an expedition to Jingzhou. When he was on an expedition against Chaisang, if Huang Quan hadn't handled it well and landed in Jiangling very quickly, Chengdu and other noble families would have rebelled long ago. This would have affected his whole body, and he would have been defeated on the front line.
Once, the noble families will attack in groups from behind, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Liu Zhang didn't want to have to worry about these flies when he fought with Sun Quan, Liu Bei and Cao Cao in the future, so he decisively implemented these strategies and angered those noble families.
Huang Quan gritted his teeth. Since Huang Yueying dared to propose these strategies and implemented them in Jingzhou, why couldn't he? He said to Liu Zhang: "In this case, there is no problem."
"Well, Huang Quan and Wang Fu, you should work hard to do these three things well, recruiting talents, money and food, and popular support. Next year, I hope to see a large number of poor families and common people in the four imperial examinations. As for their examination subjects, of course they are only
As for administration, after these officials are selected, they must take exams every year. In addition to administration, some knowledge of history and literature should be added as appropriate.
Step up efforts to open up agricultural wasteland, recruit farmers, and at the same time continue to develop business. All industries that the government can decentralize are decentralized, and there are also some businesses that benefit the country and the people, such as renting cattle for individual households who cannot afford to raise cattle, renting water trucks, and driving Irrigation canals, these are all encouraged to be built by businessmen, and some can also be shared with the government."
"yes."
Liu Zhang took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup and said: "Okay, these three points have been arranged, and only the soldiers and armors are left. But the soldiers, in addition to training, also have equipment. Huang Quan, has the steward of the craftsman's room been called?" "
"They are all outside the house."
"please come in."
Young Ma Jun and a man in his thirties walked in. Huang Quan introduced: "This is Ma Jun, and this is Uncle Zuo. Ma Jun designed a new type of turning machine and damask weaving machine. Uncle Zuo is very knowledgeable about cloth." The dyeing and porcelain coating have been improved. Because of his outstanding contribution, he is now the steward of the craftsman camp."
"I have met Lord Marquis." They both bowed to Liu Zhang.
The soldiers brought two chairs and placed them under Liu Zhang's head. Liu Zhang glanced at the two of them. They looked at each other and did not dare to sit down. Liu Zhang said calmly: "The matters discussed today don't seem to be big things, but they are. These are all major matters, but I cannot give orders directly. I must listen to everyone's opinions, especially you two.
I don’t know anything about those mechanical stains. If you keep standing like this, how can you think carefully? If you don’t think, I will give an order and you will do it?"
Ma Jun and Zuo Bo looked at each other. When doing technical work, what they fear most is outsiders dictating and pretending to understand, especially for Shangguan, which would make them very painful. Liu Zhang can think of them like this, which is a good thing.
They were really afraid that Liu Zhang would give random orders, so they sat down nervously.
Liu Zhang took a look at them and said: "Well, they are all great talents. I think that making overturned cars and improving them is not less than the contribution to governance. I now appoint Ma Jun as a craftsman and the general manager of the camp. His rank is as high as two thousand stones." Zuo Bo is the deputy general manager of the craftsman camp, with a rank of 1,500 stones. The rest of the craftsmen who have made outstanding contributions are all given titles. The specific details are drawn up by Huang Quan."
Everyone was shocked, especially Ma Jun and Uncle Zuo. They had no idea that they had made some disgusting gadgets and were awarded such a reward, ranking as high as two thousand stones. What kind of concept was this? It was already the domain of high-ranking officials in the imperial court. The concept is clear. It stands to reason that even if Liu Zhang is a general, he does not have the power to appoint such a high official.
Ma Jun's status suddenly rose to the same level as Huang Quan and others. Everyone was surprised. Zhang Song looked at the two of them with jealousy. He originally thought that he was some kind of "bank sacrificial wine" and was ranked as high as a thousand. The stone is already very high, but I didn’t expect that when I entered the family, I would be a man of two thousand stone.
Ma Jun and Zuo Bo quickly left the table and knelt down to thank Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang signaled to the soldiers behind him, who carried the basket not far away. Zhou Buyi followed suit and found a bench to sit on. , with a book in hand to read...
Zhou Buyi also claimed that he was an erudite man who knew everything about geography and the three religions. However, when he saw Huang Yueying's mechanical crossbows and various mechanical methods, he was still amazed. He had worshiped so many masters, but he didn't expect that there would be others in this world. I am so beyond reach.
Of course, it was just about mechanics. Zhou Buyi basically just glanced at the other internal affairs and military documents without reading them. It seems that Huang Yueying claimed that she studied mechanics from a teacher, and she had no choice but to learn mechanics. She was indeed right.
Liu Zhang picked up a few bamboo slips and pushed them in front of Ma Jun and Zuo Bo: "Look around, there are ten crossbow arrows, seven crossbow arrows, a single long-range crossbow, a knife cart, a water cart, new papermaking technology, printing technology, and ink
Make plows, water pumps and more than 70 kinds of machinery, weapons and other items, take a look, can you make them according to the drawings?"
After listening to Liu Zhang's words, the two of them didn't take it seriously at first. They thought that basically none of the things Liu Zhang mentioned appeared. How could so many of them appear at once? Unless Liu Zhang dug some ancient tombs and discovered prehistoric civilizations.
But after they opened the books, they couldn't help but be surprised. Their eyes widened even more. They were a little cautious at first when they sat under Liu Zhang, but they were both "science fanatics" and saw so many novel things.
The clever things made him extremely excited, and Ma Jun slapped the table one after another.
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's unbelievable." Ma Jun slapped the table vigorously, as if nothing was happening.
Uncle Zuo read some and thought it was clever, so he showed it to Ma Jun on the spot. He was amazed again. After Ma Jun read the three volumes, he stood up and paid homage to Liu Zhang: "My lord, I dare to ask where this was done. I will definitely order it."
Ask her for advice."
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Forget asking for advice. This is all done by Huang Yueying, the military advisor of the Sichuan Army. She is very busy. Now she is busy governing Jingzhou and conquering bandits. You should see if you can do this first."
"Oh, my subordinate made a mistake. My subordinate made a mistake." Ma Jun also realized that he was getting carried away. He bowed awkwardly twice, sat down again, looked through a few bamboo slips, and said to Liu Zhang: "My lord, I just said
All of these things you can read through can be done, but the time required is different, and there is also the issue of funding.
As long as the time and funding issues are resolved, none of this is a problem, and I think many can still be improved, such as the ten-shot bed crossbow. According to this principle, it can be improved into a fifty-shot giant bed crossbow with great damage. In this way, if
We only need a few to protect the pass, even thousands of troops can't get close."
"That's right." Zhou Buyi looked at the book in his hand and said quietly without raising his head: "Whether you can get in or not depends on how many arrows you have. How many arrows can you shoot with these fifty shots?
The root hit, what was shot was not an arrow, but gold, and such a big bed crossbow would probably be left in Chengdu, where would it be used to fight?
The painter has already thought of this. To truly equip the army, ten rounds is the limit, unless the Marquis guards a golden mountain and the flowers are endless."
After Zhou Buji said something strangely, Ma Jun was embarrassed, and Liu Zhang scolded him: "Why are you joining in blindly? Isn't it okay to make a few decorations to frighten the enemy?"
Zhou Buyi stayed in the Mufu for a long time, and Liu Zhang regarded him as his own child. Anyway, he looked like Liu Xun's brother. He had to teach his younger brother and scold him at the same time, so it was not easy to scold him.
As for his talent, he refused to be loyal to him anyway and automatically ignored it.
Zhou Buji curled his lips and continued reading.
Ma Jun said: "What Zhou Buyi said is reasonable. This is indeed an oversight on my part. I just thought of this possibility. I must know that this drawing ability can be expanded. It will make people laugh at generosity. It will make people laugh at generosity." Ma Jun wiped his sweat.
.
Zhou Buyi can be said to be a frequent visitor to the house builders. At first, everyone looked at him as a child and did not take it seriously. However, within a few months, after Zhou Buyi became a disciple of several masters, he started to learn the skills of the house builders.
After a lot of experience, he is even more skilled than the veteran craftsmen who have been working for several years.
Yao was so smart that the craftsmen couldn't help but gasp. Now that the craftsmen entered the room without knowing Zhou Buyi, Ma Jun naturally knew it too.
It was really stressful to speak in front of Zhou Buji.
Liu Zhang waved his hand and said: "Ignore him, fifty rounds of bed crossbows, wait until I have money to make them. Now, if you say you have enough money, I definitely don't have it, and I won't give it to you. The most important thing now is
Several things must be made as soon as possible. One is papermaking and printing, as well as flowable ink. In this way, with pens, official training can be carried out more cheaply. At the same time, hundreds of printing schools can be printed and sold to the people to facilitate culture.
Promotion.
Second, agricultural tools such as turning trucks, push harrows, water pumps, and plows must be made as soon as possible. This is good for reclaiming fields and increasing farmland income. Without food, everything is empty talk. Only with food can we have other things."
"I can make farm tools here. The more complicated ones are mechanical. With these drawings, it shouldn't be difficult. It's just paper making." Ma Jun frowned and said, "That depends on Uncle Zuo."
Liu Zhang looked at Uncle Zuo. Uncle Zuo was reading a book carefully with a focused expression. Ma Jun pushed him, and Uncle Zuo suddenly woke up.
"Lord." Uncle Zuo said loudly: "If this booklet had arrived earlier, why wait until today? I have invented a kind of paper, which is white, delicate, soft, evenly dense, bright in color, and has excellent paper quality, but it is
The process is tedious. In order to make the paper soft and white, it is a very tedious process to remove the pulp and dry the paper film.
But this... Oh, Huang Yueying's papermaking method involves a large amount of stirring and using a fixed iron net to scoop out the paper pulp. Then, when drying, steam is sprayed in at intervals. When it is dry, the ink will not easily run away and appear.
Fracture, this method greatly simplifies the procedure, why didn't I think of it, oh, why didn't I think of it, how could I..."
Ma Jun pushed Uncle Zuo with his elbow. Uncle Zuo reacted suddenly and bowed to Liu Zhang seriously: "My subordinates can make this paper, and the ink leakage mentioned by Military Advisor Huang is because the traditional paper making has gone into misunderstandings.
Save money on raw materials. In actual papermaking, the most expensive thing is not the raw materials, but the process, so after I add a small amount of leather to a large amount of paper pulp, the ink leakage of the paper is greatly reduced, and I will definitely be able to make perfect paper."
Although Uncle Zuo deliberately suppressed it, he still couldn't restrain his excitement. Although these craftsmen were humble in the eyes of the world, they were very enthusiastic about their careers. Showing them these things seemed to be more satisfying than conferring them official positions.
Historically, Zuo Bo was an expert in papermaking. The improved Zuo Bo paper was unique in the world. However, the price of paper still did not drop significantly. It was not until the new baking method replaced the previous drying method that the price of paper increased significantly in the middle and late Tang Dynasty.
The vice trend is lower, and Huang Yueying's method is similar to this baking method.
In fact, science is often just a layer of window paper. When it is invented, you will find that there is nothing profound. But when it is not invented, it takes countless lifetimes to explore.
Uncle Zuo suppressed his emotions and continued: "Printing is really amazing and will be remembered forever. As for ink, Military Advisor Huang has made great progress. His subordinates are now responsible for the improvement of cloth dyeing and porcelain spraying.
, I will definitely try to prepare a thick ink that can flow freely, but I can’t guarantee the time.”
Liu Zhang nodded: "It would be good to do these two things first. If they are done, you two will join." Liu Zhang looked at Ma Jun and Zuo Bo and said, "Both of them will be granted the title of marquis."
Ma Jun and Zuo Bo were startled, stood up immediately, and worshiped together: "I will fight to the death."
"Well, now that the problem of farm tools and paper has been solved, all that's left is the armor. Not to mention the fifty-round repeating crossbow, the ten-shot repeating crossbow and the seven-shot repeating crossbow don't need to be made. There's no need for the knife cart or anything like that. You guys can help first.
I have made a few things before, including the spear, the hook and sickle gun, and the single-shot long-range crossbow above. This kind of crossbow is too expensive, so don’t have too many, only twenty of them. I will make the rest later when I have money.
Make some gadgets."
Liu Zhang mysteriously took out two pieces of paper from his arms. This action immediately attracted everyone's attention. Because the previous items were so dazzling, everyone, including Zhou Buyi, stared at the two pieces of paper in Liu Zhang's hand.
Liu Zhang handed the paper to Ma Jun, and Ma Jun took a look at it. There were some things drawn on it that he seemed to have never seen before, but he seemed to have seen them before. But when he looked at the bottom, he knew the purpose of those things.
There is a horse drawn on the bottom of the paper. These small things are clearly stirrups, saddles and horseshoes.
The stirrup and saddle have already appeared in their original form, but now the saddle is a piece of thick cloth. In the Western Han Dynasty, the stirrup was a rope that covered the feet, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty it became a U-shaped iron tied to it.
Ma Jun looked at the painting above, and the functions of the saddle and stirrups were obvious. The saddle could keep the knight from bumping, and the stirrups had almost the same function. The feet had a place to bear force, making it easier to make movements on the war horse, and the horseshoes were really
invention.
Ma Jun's eyes widened. According to the above description, Ma Jun saw the role of horseshoes. Without horseshoes, the new stirrups and saddles are just superfluous. The current stirrups and saddles are enough.
The only function of the horseshoe is to increase the endurance of the war horse. Both the distance and the load are raised to a higher level. In this way, the fighting on the battlefield, the charge and durability of the cavalry become very impressive. You can also add protection to the war horse.
Become a heavy cavalryman.
As for the so-called good shooting and spear-throwing skills of Xiliang, almost all farmers and Han people can imitate them. After training, they can also be as powerful as nomads in riding and shooting.
"Can it be done?" Liu Zhang asked.
"It's easy." Ma Jun replied.
"Yes." Liu Zhang nodded with satisfaction and said to Huang Quanji: "Well, with new agricultural tools, paper and ink, and many scientific farming methods, I believe that reclaiming wasteland, increasing food production, and training talents will solve all the problems.
It shouldn’t be big, you go down and do your work first, Wang Lei.”
Liu Zhang stopped Wang Lei and took out another piece of paper from his arms. All eyes were focused on Liu Zhang, and they felt that there were many treasures hidden in Liu Zhang's arms. Liu Zhang handed the paper to Wang Lei: "This is what is written on it.
The numbers are called Sanmiao numbers. They were invented by the Chiyou tribe in ancient times. After Chiyou was defeated by Yan and Huang, they were lost. You are responsible for promoting them. It is best for officials and craftsmen to enter houses and workshops and be able to identify them."
Liu Zhang handed the paper with Arabic numerals, detailed descriptions of each number, and calculation methods to Wang Lei's hand. Wang Lei looked at it, felt very novel, and answered: "Yes."
After getting up and leaving, Zhang Song hesitated for a while and said: "Master, they all have something to do, so what does my bank do?"
Zhang Song grimaced, saying that Liu Zhang didn't value him. The official title was big enough, but that he valued him. There really wasn't much that the bank could do. The so-called bank under Liu Zhang was to regulate the items commonly used in the market.
The highest and lowest prices, as well as the control of materials, will be collected if they are unsalable and released if they are popular.
However, before business fully flourished, the bank became almost a decoration. Throughout the year, Zhang Song almost fell ill and felt that he was just a mediocre official with a high salary, completely unable to use his talent.
Liu Zhang smiled and said: "Don't you have anything to do in the bank? You have to study the three seedling numbers promoted by Wang Lei. Also, after the farming incident continues, farmers may not be able to afford so many new farm tools. You can
Loan them money so that they can buy farm tools first, and then pay it back to you after the harvest is sold."
Zhang Song's face became even more bitter: "Master, I don't have any money in this bank, where can I get the money to lend to them?"
Liu Zhang shook his head: "Yongnian, you are also smart. The money allocated to you by the government is used to purchase unsalable items. Business is not booming now, and there are no items to buy. You will not use this money to invest in those workshops.
?
When the scale of the workshop is expanded, a share of the money earned will naturally be given to you. For example, when Uncle Zuo makes paper, this is a profitable business. If you invest money in the paper workshop, don't you just wait and see if you get a share? Are you still worried about having no money?
"
Zhang Song rolled his eyes twice and clapped his hands suddenly: "Yeah, why didn't I expect that this is really a way to make money, my lord is really amazing."
Zhang Song didn't know that banks in later generations were engaged in investment and financial management. At this time, after Liu Zhang suggested it, he immediately felt that this was a great way to make money. And with this method, wouldn't the bank be able to make a lot of money? It would definitely become a
The most popular position, I couldn't help but feel very happy, and the haze was gone.
Zhang Song finally found his confidence and sense of superiority, and strode out with Huang Quan and others.
Only Zhang Ren Fazheng and Ma Jun Zuo Bo were left. Liu Zhang said to Zhang Ren: "Okay, General Zhang, now only your task is left. Ma Jun can make stirrups, saddles and horseshoes, as well as the Changge and the hook and sickle spear."
, In addition, I think the white pole gun can be used for more than just climbing.
After removing the hook, this short weapon should be able to become a sharp weapon for cavalry. I will devote all my efforts to buying horses. I want you to find an absolutely secret place in the west of Chengdu from now on to train an absolutely secret cavalry and a team of cavalry.
