Deng Cheng, Xuan Chi.

A new batch of Maicheng looms arrived, and Lu Yi personally accepted and supervised the loading and unloading of the ship.

When the loom arrives, it is packed in boxes of standard parts, and boxes of parts are either put into storage or transferred to other ships; At the same time, the Danyang tools that had just been transported from the warehouse and the ship were loaded into the southbound fleet.

Yang Xian, the school officer, accompanied the superintendent and Lu Yi to check the tools in the wooden box.

In order to prevent rust, all kinds of tools are quenched and smeared with a layer of dirty grease, and now they are lying in rows in wooden boxes.

There were a thousand sets of iron rakes, hoes, sickles, and axes, as well as a small number of saw blades, and these metal tools lay quietly in the box, which Yang Xian envied.

The military officials who came to the side escorting the loom delivered the papers, whispered something to Lu Yiqi, and vaguely heard that it seemed that Mai Cheng was going to make a columbium for sowing.

Yang Xian's boss Lu Ding inspected the edge of the sickle, wiped his hands with black grease and wiped them with a cloth towel, and asked: "Lu Xiangguo, there have been many dirty things with Jiangdu recently. The subordinates are worried that these tools will encounter difficulties and corrupt the public and the public affairs. ”

There was also a military official who spoke: "The subordinates also have this concern, Danyang equipment is in short supply." Now the surrounding counties have orders, but I shipped them to Lingnan to deliver them to Hanyu...... It is inevitably biased and may be criticized. ”

Su Ze, who joined the army with him, said sideways: "This short-term view is also, although the counties are deficient, they have Danyang equipment, and the improvement is limited. For Lingnan is barren, and since the chaos in the world, all industries have withered. Since Sun Quan and Buqi stole it, it has been even more difficult for the people to make a living. The equipment arrived in Lingnan this time, and the effect can be immediate! ”

Lu Ding still argued: "Su Gong, I'm afraid of bad things for villains." ”

Su Ze thought about it, but still shook his head lightly: "The two generations of Lingnan natives have not known the kindness and prestige of the Han family. Who would dare to obstruct the general location of this imperial court? ”

Seeing that Su Ze's words were conclusive and his attitude was clear, and seeing that Lu Yi also agreed, Lu Ding just sighed and stood on the side without speaking.

Several pessimistic military officials, like him, frowned, fearing that the transport ship gang would be stuck and artificially amplified the incident.

After loading the goods and transporting the ship south along the Han River, Lu Ding also separated from Lu Yi and others, and on the way back to the school office, Lu Ding was still worried: "Su Gong has a general plan and knows the big festivals, but he doesn't know the villain's behavior. I'm afraid that traitors will take advantage of the opportunity to stir up ...... Who will go with me to visit Zhang Gong and state this matter? ”

Several school officials had no choice but to follow Lu Ding to the Northern Shogunate to see Zhang Wen, Zhang Wen refused to be worshiped by the imperial court, and naturally he was still the director of the Northern Mansion, and he was in charge of the supervision of the two counties.

In the straight class room, Zhang Wen sat in the hall to listen to Lu Ding's statement, as an institution engaged in supervision, it is normal to rebel by the way.

Cao Wei and Sun Wu never gave up sending spies, and such spies were often poor scholars who migrated and defected to the Han army.

It is difficult to understand the culture, but it is difficult to find out the background.

The intensity of the war in the past few years has been too great, there has been movement of people everywhere, and it is normal for people to be lost in migration, and the loss of population for this reason is an excellent excuse.

You can't tell if the defector's relatives are being taken hostage or if they are actually sick and dying on the way.

It is impossible that there are no spies, Lu Ding means to send heavyweights to press the ship, even if there are spies who instigate the seizure of the ship, few people dare to do it.

Before the ship is arrested, no matter how big the conflict is resolved face-to-face, it will be gone; I am afraid that the ship will be arrested, and after the ship is detained, it will rise to the status of the General's Mansion and the Northern Mansion.

Lu Ding was quite insightful: "Wei has a great victory in Hexi, and now after raising troops to the east to attack King Yan, I am afraid that I will send troops to rescue, and I will be ordered to cause chaos, so that I will be distracted and unable to send troops; Sun Quan benefited from Hankou, and his arrogance was unmatched for a while, and he was afraid that he would do something to provoke me to cause internal friction. ”

"Well, I'll leave this matter to Your Highness."

Zhang Wen directly agreed, handed over the order and documents, and said to Lu Ding: "Danyangyi recently reported that the quality of the ore in Huayang is not as good as before. And go to Shuyang to find out the situation, if Shuyang does not give a clear reply, in the future, cut off the water trade. ”

The water trade is a triangular trade, and the participants are the looms of Maicheng, and the owner of the looms is Guan Ji; The second party is a craftsman shop in Danyangyi, and the owner is Tian Xin; The third-party composition is complex, including General Jin Zhonglang of Nanyang Si and the sergeant who opened the mine under Zhang Fei.

If it weren't for Zhang Fei's face, Beifu would have been able to convene and organize Jing Man to open mines.

The mine is in Nanyang County, and Xu Zuo, the Shou of Nanyang County, organized the mountain people to open a mine to help the mountain people get rid of poverty...... What's wrong with that?

He has a loom, a workshop, and a lot of manpower on the periphery...... How is it possible for someone to get stuck in their throat on the raw material?

Lu Ding couldn't help but think of the clan brother's face that might turn white, and he didn't ask where to find alternative ores, he stepped forward to catch the pass warrant and documents, and arched his hand: "Huh." ”

What he reacted to, turned around and then stated it to Guan Ji's ears through Zhang Wen's mouth.

The scale of the meeting here has been expanded from the original three people of Lu Yi, Zhang Wen and Dian Man to 12 or 3 people; Even Xu Zuo, who was staying in Nanyang, sent his own Changshi to Dengcheng to observe the meeting on his behalf...... It's like a small court.

There is no way to do this, follow the ancient system to establish three ke, then you can't bypass the struggle between feudalism and centralization.

According to the ancient system, the Sanke family itself is a small court, with its own subordinates, ministers, and monarchs and ministers who discuss matters behind closed doors, which is different from the Han court, isn't it a small court?

This is a small court, and the Shogunate of the Northern Shogunate is a small court...... The county guards the subordinates, closed the door and held meetings, it is a small court.

There is no surprise, Guan Ji just took back the feudal lord power of her princess Deng Guo, and helped her husband and son manage the housework by the way.

After Guan Ji heard this, he asked: "Xiangguo, Wuchang can only supply 20,000 catties of iron sand per month?" ”

"Yes, the Iron Mountain has been discovered, and it is not under the Nanyang Iron Mountain."

Lu Yi took out a stack of folds from his sleeve and handed them to the little maid in front of the middle door, who took the folds and handed them to Guan Ji behind the curtain.

Guan Ji opened it and read it carefully, this is a form of Iron Mountain production plan specially made by He Qi...... Although the current Heqi has the ability to mine and roughly smelt iron sand, he lacks the strength to protect the Wuchang Iron Mountain.

After the main force of the Han army's naval division was destroyed, He Qi did not dare to develop the Iron Mountain on a large scale.

It is also impossible to provide protection to He Qi now, so the value of Wuchang Iron Mountain is not high and lacks meaning...... Even if the iron ore here is very easy to mine.

Guan Ji asked: "If Sun Quan learns that there is a big iron mountain in Wuchang, will he counterattack Jiangnan?" ”

"Your Highness, although Sun Quan is greedy, he is calculating. It will be a year for the public to return to the teacher soon, and a year and a half at the latest, during which He Qi will stick to it, and it will be difficult for Sun Quan to make progress. Even if he entered Wuchang, he would not be able to mine, let alone smelt and forge armor. ”

Lu Yi paused for a moment and said: "Jiangdong is damp, and the iron armor is easy to rust, and the officials suffer a lot from it, so they store more paint and grease to prevent rust." Admiral Jin Gong Dinglingnan, Lingnan natives produce lacquer, today lacquer for me to have, Sun Quan less lacquer, armor and iron without lacquer rust. ”

Lu Yi explained slightly, and Guan Ji understood that the Wu army's iron armor naturally suffered a high loss.

Painting can only delay rust, but cannot eliminate rust.

No matter how good the armor is, if it is rusted for a long time, it will become brittle iron, and arrows can easily penetrate it.

Not to mention Jiangdong, which is close to the sea, just Jiangdu, the iron armor is rusty, and the water vapor on the condensed armor must be wiped every morning and evening.

20,000 catties of iron sand in January, plus several small iron mountains in the Danshui Basin, are enough for Danyang craftsmen.

Guan Ji was worried: "If Wuchang Iron is introduced, will Huayang Coal change?" ”

Lu Yi's tone was confirmed: "Your Highness, he cut off coal, and the workshop will just use charcoal to forge armor and ordnance." ”

Except for Zhang Wen, the others hung their heads one after another, and their attitudes were clear.

Guan Ji snorted lightly, and said: "The workshop has increased production, can the princes have a suitable person to serve as the commander?" ”

Lu Yi and the others looked up at each other, Zhang Wen leaned forward, and said: "Your Highness, the minister thinks that Wudang can also be in charge of the craftsman's workshop." ”

Wudang Xiangtian Yun gives everyone the impression that he is gentle and dull, and will not do things in private.

Seeing that no one objected, Guan Ji spoke: "Good." ”

Later, Zhang Wen spoke again before stating Lu Ding's concerns, Guan Ji thought about it for a while, and sent the first feudal monarch of Deng State to accompany him.

The reason is also simple, let Dianman bring some gifts to comfort his mother Zhao.
