Chapter 171: The First Pass of the Great Wall 3

  The next day, Zhou Nan left the cottage with Xiao Jiu'er, Ma Daqiu and others, and rushed to Gu'an City to meet Li Feixing.

  On the eve of leaving, after having dinner with Zhou Fu and Zhou Fu's wife, Zhou Nan and Gao Yun naturally enjoyed this rare time for two. Only then did Zhou Nan have time to tell Gao Yun in detail everything about his trip to Bianjing City this time. Gao Yun was not as jealous as Zhou Nan imagined, or kept asking questions about Maode's affairs. Gao Yun said very happily: "As soon as I use other people's things, I will double her back; If you have the love of others, you will double her back. The emperor of the Southern Dynasty was willing to send Zhou Fu back with the carriage built for her, and the slave family asked Shen Ding to make a better one to send her; took away her horse, and the princess's sister also said that she would give her twelve good horses in Daliao to return her. When it was done, the princess's sister sent someone to send it to her. ”

  "How did the princess know? Didn't Xiao Jiu'er tell you the secret, and you secretly told the princess again? Zhou Nan speculated wildly.

  Gao Yun said with a shallow smile: "Da Lang still doesn't know the shopkeeper of Han Ji leather goods? ”

  "So this eyeliner is him!" Zhou Nan didn't see Han Cunyi again later, and almost ignored him.

  "Sister Princess has known about your affairs in Bianjing City for a long time. It's just that the princess's sister said that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty and Da Lang also had a relationship in Yanjing, and when Da Lang arrived in Bianjing, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty should have fulfilled the friendship of the landlord, and then someone must have framed Da Lang, and told the slave family not to embarrass you. Gao Yun was just wearing a robe at this time, sitting and drinking tea with Zhou Nan across the bed a few pairs, I don't know if the fire in the room was hot, or the tea was hot, her pink face was red, and her two apricot eyes stared at Zhou Nan with a smile, "Do you remember that on Chinese New Year's Eve, Da Lang promised the slave family and the princess sister?" ”

  Zhou Nan nodded again and again, and shouted wronged, and said: "I have nothing to do with the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, but the King of Yun and Wang Hao of the Southern Dynasty secretly spread rumors to slander me. ”

  "I heard that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is extremely beautiful, is that really the case?" Gao Yun asked again.

  "This Emperor Maode is indeed beautiful, but looking at Yanjing, among the women I have seen, there are two people who are better than her." Zhou Nan said casually.

  "Which woman?" Gao Yun hurriedly asked.

  "Naturally, it's the second sister of the Gao family and the princess." Zhou Nan said with a smile. For a pit like a woman asking her who is beautiful with so-and-so, of course Zhou Nan will not fall into it.

  In the end, it is in my own home, and I even feel sweet when I sleep.

  Zhou Fu handed it over to Lao Zheng Tou to take care of it, and Gao Yun asked people to load two newly made flying cars overnight, and three boxes of rockets made during this time, and handed them over to Zhou Nan to take away.

  Gao Yun became more and more aware of the purpose of Zhou Nan's development of explosive arrows, rockets and flying cars, not only to win the battle, but more importantly, to win the war without casualties. Therefore, Gao Yun spent half of the time in the cottage urging Guo Xingzu and others to make rockets and arrows every day.

  Accompanying Zhou Nan was Feng Jin, the captain of the Family Guardian Society, and it was naturally Zhou Fu who replaced Feng Jin. Although Zhou Fu can't use one arm hard, Zhou Fu has followed Zhou Nan for the longest time, and his archery skills are the best, and he is admired by almost everyone in the cottage, especially among the members of the Family Protection Club. Whatever it is, as long as Zhou Fu tells it to go down, those young people will immediately rush to do it. Let Zhou Fu take charge of the family protection society and protect the cottage, which is the most suitable candidate.

  Zhou Nan also has a meaning, that is, so that Zhou Fu will not feel that he has become a waste, so that he will become depressed in the future. Before leaving, Zhou Nan promised Zhou Fu that even if his left arm really couldn't shoot arrows in the future, he would make Zhou Fu a weapon that could allow him to shoot with one arm with his right hand.

  Zhou Nan used the word shooting, although Zhou Fu didn't hear the difference, but Zhou Nan had already made up his mind in his heart that in order to maintain his superiority in weapons, he would try to make a powder gun. After recovering Yuguan, he specially set aside time to dispatch craftsmen to create a powder gun.

  He originally wanted Shen Ding and Sun Rong, the craftsmen from the Great Song Dynasty, to take the opportunity of forming a general as a prison to join the general as a prison, but Guo Xingzu didn't want to go, Cai Xianzhong for the big furnace and Zhu Xian for the small furnace didn't like to be lively, and Gao Yun also advised Zhou Nan not to move the gunpowder industry to Yanjing.

  In the end, Zhou Nan accepted Gao Yun's persuasion, as a sharp weapon of this era, it is better to keep gunpowder secret, at least not to let his enemies master the production skills and turn back to deal with himself. His own Wansheng army can't withstand the bombardment!

  However, Zhou Nan naturally couldn't let Guo Xingzu and the three suffer, and promised that after returning to Yanjing, he would set up a firearm for Guo Xingzu and the three of them, but the firearm would be placed separately in Sanssouci Village. As for the process of selecting craftsmen, Zhou Nan believed that there would be no craftsmen in the state capitals who knew how to make gunpowder.

  In this way, Shen Ding and the others were reluctant to go to Yanjing, after all, the families of Shen Ding and the others had already settled in this cottage, and they felt that Yanjing did not know how far away it was to the north, and they were not familiar with the place, so they were naturally reluctant to go.

  And these craftsmen are indispensable in the cottage to do some work for the people in the village. Gao Yun simply made the decision, and set up a branch of the supervisor in Sanssouci Village, and craftsmen in Yizhou area can be assigned to the Sanssouci branch to work nearby after being selected by Yanjing. At this point, Gao Yun had to write to Yu Liyan to explain it to herself, so as not to let Zhou Nan worry about these little things anymore.

  After resting for the night, they changed into the war horses in the cottage again, and the group rushed to Gu'an City. Along the way, although it was the same road, it was much more lively than half a month ago. Everywhere in the fields, you can see people bending over to work, children running and playing on the road, and vendors hurrying with horse-drawn carriages. The fields and wilderness, which had been desolate for a winter, had almost been turned over, and as far as the eye could see, there was no place for wasteland.

  It's just that it's really similar to the situation in the early days of Sanssouci Village, there are very few farm tools in the house, and most of them are used with hardwood, stone chips and the like. There are also not many livestock such as cattle and horses.

  After meeting with Li Feixing and others in Gu'an City, they rushed to Zunhua non-stop. Li Shi presided over the supply of military rations there, was responsible for the news of the exchange between the imperial court and the front line, and was on the way to Yuguan, so Zhou Nan naturally had to go over first to ask about the recent situation.

  After Gu'an City, the situation of preparing for cultivation and land reclamation is similar to that of Yizhou, except that there are many mountains in Zunhua and Yutian, and there is more water and more water in Xianghe and Yongqing, and there are much less fields that can be cultivated.

  However, Zhou Nan is very confident in the farming in this area. Zunhua and Yutian are famous in later generations as the production area of rouge rice, Yongqing, Wuqing area, later generations also planted Tianjin Xiaozhan rice. Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty has already successfully planted rice along the coastal border, as long as it is well guided, the saline-alkali land of hundreds of miles here can become the land of fish and rice.
