Chapter 540: Coercion

"Brother Cheng, it's just a temporary camp, you don't have to be so ......" In the evening, the wind and snow had not stopped, but looking at the camp that the young man had fought with his own hands, Zhang Zhong and his party were a little speechless.

This camp feels better than my own house, what kind of world?

"We are now trying to defend against the enemy, and the hastily built camp has no effect on the enemy." The boy looked at the camp he designed and built, and he still had a sense of accomplishment in his heart, although he had designed a lot before, but it was the first time he really built a camp by himself, it seems that his father let him choose a craft, and he chose a carpenter right.

"Then you don't have to dismantle all the carriages, do you?" The middle-aged guard on the side complained.

"Otherwise, it's freezing and snowing, where should I go to find wood?" The young man's tone was still indifferent, and he didn't look at the other party after speaking: "It's best to send a few people to patrol the night, I don't have too much firewood to burn, so let's collect the previous sawdust." ”

When going out, these vendors have simple materials for building sheds in their frames, which were changed by teenagers and built into sheds that are connected together, so that there is a response, and at this moment everyone comes in to rest, and suddenly feels that the cold has dispersed a lot, obviously not burning firewood, but feeling a trace of warmth.

"Brother Cheng, it's not easy for you to set up this camp." After Zhang Zhong noticed this, his gaze at Cheng Yuan became a little unpredictable, this is not a means that ordinary rich and noble people can have, plus Cheng Yuan's previous judgment was far beyond ordinary people, and he could even influence the other party's thoughts in words, what kind of person is this?

"It's fine." Cheng Yuan didn't explain much, in fact, he didn't know how to explain, it seems that after choosing a carpenter, everything he made would have some miraculous effects like his father, and naturally he was not as powerful as his father, but what is the principle of this? Over the years, he had even looked through many religious texts, but he still couldn't figure out what they meant.

My father must have known, but he didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask too much.

"Let's all rest and eat in the evening." Seeing that the young man didn't answer, Zhang Zhong didn't ask more, with his understanding of this young man, if the other party didn't want to answer, even if he asked, I am afraid it would be in vain.

The young man silently leaned on a separate bed board, thinking about his own thoughts, and when he ran away, his father would definitely find a way to find himself, which was not his intention, and he had learned about the conscription in various places in the past two months, and he needed to pass it on, and the Blue Pool Camp needed the seal of the county-level government, which was easier to live there, but it also needed to be passed on by the three elder levels, and it was not difficult to get these things, but if he came out in the army, with the ability of his father and those uncles, it was easy to find himself.

So he is not in a hurry to join the army, but to go around all over the place, but also to experience a variety of lifestyles, he has a strong learning ability, it is easy to do anything, plus now Guanzhong is recruiting people everywhere, it is not difficult to earn travel expenses, and now follow Zhang Zhong and his party to Jincheng, he is also well prepared, and after getting the pass and has left a back hand, it is determined that even if someone notices him, it is impossible to be found in the first place.

He joined the army this time to hone himself, but he didn't want to have too much of his father's face in it, so he spent so much effort to wait for himself to break into a reputation with his own strength, and then even if his identity was exposed, it would be fine.

But Daddy...... I don't know how long I can hide it from my mother.

Thinking of this, even with his indifference, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

"Brother Cheng." In the dark, Zhang Zhong leaned over to the young man and said in a low voice.

"What?" The young man's hand silently touched the short dagger in his sleeve, which was a self-defense weapon forged by his father himself.

"In fact, it can be seen that you are not an ordinary person, and even half of the scholars may not have your status." Zhang Zhong leaned on the edge of the couch and said in a low voice.

"You're smart." The boy said indifferently.

"This is not smart, in front of people like Brother Cheng, there are not many people who can be considered smart, and they are definitely not included in the next, but they have been traveling south and north for many years, and have seen countless people, going out to beg for a living, and those who are not bright in this trick will not live for too long." Sighing, Zhang Zhong smiled and said: "Brother Cheng is naturally extremely smart, but some things, perhaps because he is too smart, make Brother Cheng not sharp." ”

"People's hearts?" The young man frowned and said, in this way, my father has said more than once, there is nothing wrong with being smart, but sometimes smart people will lose themselves, if they can't find the reason, this life will be limited, this time he came out, and he also looked for the shortcomings that his father said, but he has been to a lot of places, he faintly noticed something, but he couldn't catch it, this feeling, for people like him, very uncomfortable.

"Yes, but it's not as calculating as when you retreated today, brother." Zhang Zhong shook his head and said, "Old Zhang, in my life, I have seen many smart people, they are not as smart as you, but they are more proud than you. ”

When the young man heard this, he didn't interrupt, but just listened quietly.

"But like you, you rarely think about the feelings of others, and today, although you are telling the truth, you shouldn't say it at that time, what will others think? Encourage me, maybe everyone will be more fleshy, but although what you said is right, it is indeed a little frustrating, in the words of the army, it is self-destructive morale, sometimes the truth is this, but before it happens, people always have a trace of luck, you do that, it is equivalent to extinguishing the last trace of luck in everyone's hearts. Zhang Zhong said in the end, he shook his head with a wry smile, this is a common problem of smart people, they think they can solve it, the truth is like this, but others can't see the root like them, and it is not a good thing to say it directly.

The boy thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was indeed a little, but how could the feelings of others be concerned? Sometimes I don't even care about my father's feelings, so how can I talk about others?

"Thank you." After a moment of silence, the boy pulled something out of his cuff and slipped it into his hand.

"This is ......" Zhang Zhong's heart jumped a few times unhappily.

"My identity and whereabouts are inconvenient to disclose, you can hold this thing, and when you find it useful, it will come in handy." The young man said lightly.

"Brother Cheng, I didn't mean that."

After thinking about it, the young man said: "But you did help me, it is inconvenient for me to reveal my identity at the moment, you will know one day, and at that time, you can come to me." ”

As for what to do with him, the young man didn't say, and Zhang Zhong didn't ask, as he said before, there are some things that don't need to be thoroughly explained.

There was no sudden feeling of enlightenment, but he felt that he seemed to have found a direction and was more determined to join the army.

……

Under the same night, the golden city.

Silently looking at the heavy snow outside the window, Liu Yi suddenly sighed in his heart, this heavy snow, at least the rail cars in this area will not be useful until the snow melts, and I don't know how big the scope of this heavy snow is.

After all, the rail car is not a train, not to mention the low load capacity, the laying is also simple, no sleepers are needed, and it is easy to cover it when it snows heavily, and this shortcoming cannot be made up for before the machine tool comes out.

Now Yunnan has made the first wooden machine tool, although it is only a textile machine, but the efficiency can be used by one person as five or six people, and then, after a few iron mines and coal mines explored in Xiliang come out, you can try to make steel, if the steel and coal production is enough, you can start to consider the steam engine into the practical stage.

First of all, it is natural to steam the train, but this thing, the piece in Shuzhong must not be used, with the current conditions, it is okay to build one or two railways, more can not support it, as for how much can be done, it also depends on the situation.

The most important thing is the advancement of machine tools, as well as the research and development of gunpowder.

Sometimes Liu Yi will think, if he quietly let himself develop here for forty or fifty years, at least he can get the gunpowder, although the earliest black powder is not yet, but in this era, someone has begun to discover the prototype of some gunpowder, Liu Yi has been collecting relevant information during this time, after all, what he knows about this piece in his previous life is a nitrate refinery, and the rest, I really don't understand, this is not something that the craftsman system can help him solve.

Really wonder what kind of attributes it would be if you really made it?

But at least one thing is certain, if that thing is really used in weapons, the entire world's war mode will be impacted, the first to grasp this big man, will quickly end the troubled times with a sweeping momentum, but with these things, capital will naturally begin to sprout, and when the time comes, what will it be, Liu Yi himself is a little unsure, but the world will become smaller This is certain, it depends on how fast it can develop.

"The head of the family, the letter sent by the lady said that before the end of the year, please be sure to bring your son back." Xiaohuan came to Liu Yi's side and bowed.

"This ......" Liu Yi, who was still worried about the future of the world, suddenly felt stagnant, turned his head to look at Xiaohuan a little stiffly, and his expression suddenly became solemn: "Xiaohuan, how do I treat you?" ”

"The head of the family treats me very well, and the lady treats Xiaohuan very well." Xiaohuan was a little uncomfortable with Liu Yi's changes, took a step back, and said: "But Xiaohuan is now a wife, and her husband is also selected by the head of the family for Xiaohuan, Xiaohuan is very grateful, but Xiaohuan can't ...... back."

"Huh?" The muscles on Liu Yi's face twitched, he was in his thirties, what was he thinking about all day?

"Xiaohuan, seriously, do you think I'm like a beast?" Liu Yi looked at Xiaohuan with unkind eyes.

"Of course not." Xiaohuan hurriedly shook his head.

"How do you think you are better than Madame?" Liu Yi looked at her with some amusement, although she is also a beauty, she is just a beauty among ordinary people, comparable to her own wife?

Xiaohuan understood when he heard this, and said with a bitter face: "The master of the family forgives his sins, and the slave knows his mistakes." ”

"It's just that there's an opportunity for you to make amends." The smile on Liu Yi's face fell into Xiaohuan's eyes, and he became a little ill-intentioned.

"Head of the house, please speak."

"Help me trick Madame." Liu Yi touched the beard on his chin and said, "So far, only you can help me." ”

Xiaohuan suddenly felt that it was better for Liu Yi to have evil thoughts about himself and deceive his wife......

Looking up, he looked at Liu Yi with some pity: "It's not good." ”

"It's a white lie, and God will be on your side."

"But ......"

"No, if you don't help me, the house will be uneasy! Moreover, you have no choice, slander and slander the three princes of the dynasty, and the responsibility is not light! ”

"喏~"
