"I saw the general, I heard that the general was seriously ill that day, Yuan Shi was worried, and I wanted to go to the mansion to visit, but the general was not suitable to see guests, so I had to give up. Ma Yuan got up and said that he was able to have today's status and achievements from a small pony dealer back then, thanks to Liu Yi, so he has always been deeply grateful to Lang Sheng, Liu Yi pretended to be sick this time, and Ma Yuan was indeed anxious when he heard that he was seriously ill.

"Thank you Brother Boqing for your concern, Mr. Hua Tuo said, people eat grains, they will have all kinds of diseases, Liu has always been strong on weekdays, so the illness is more violent, and now he has recovered most of it." When Ma Yuan spoke, many craftsmen also had the same vision, and Liu Yi didn't know them with the grace of encounter, but he was limited to his identity and was not good at expressing it verbally, but he saw that Liu Yi's heart was moved, so he used Hua Tuo's mouth to appease everyone.

"It's good that the general has nothing to do, it's good if there's nothing to do, and we can all go to a big stone in my heart." Ma Yuan smiled happily, and all the craftsmen also nodded again and again, apart from Liu Yi, how could there be such a high-ranking and powerful person who could take such good care of them and give them enough respect?

"Mr. Xu has been doing well lately." Liu Yi nodded slightly to everyone and turned to Xu Gang and said, this person was famous all over the world because of the name of casting, and was known as a great craftsman, and Liu Yi and his grandfather Liu Yu are very related, in recent years, the great progress of iron smelting in Youzhou and the gradual improvement of the equipment of soldiers have been greatly helped by this person! However, Xu Gang is suffering from a stunt but is withdrawn and rebellious, he can help Liu Yi in addition to seeing his attitude towards these craftsmen is the brain Xu Gang has never seen and heard of unheard of it, but after listening to many ideas that are itchy and unbearable, this has also played a great role in the re-improvement of his skills, to the point where Xu Gang is at this point, what he lacks is not experience and hard work, but innovative ideas, Liu Yi can just do this! Therefore, Lansheng has great respect for Xu Gang, and Xu Gang also introduces Liu Yi as a confidant in his heart.

"In the past few months, I have been busy with the refining of five forged steel, but unfortunately there is no progress, I want to find Langsheng to refer to you but you are sick, after today's meeting, you can have a good life to discuss." Xu Gang didn't have much joy when he heard this, for him he was only tempted by the achievements in casting, the general cast iron in the late Han Dynasty was one or two calcines, and the use of three calciners was extremely rare, and the reason why Xu Gang's casting technique was unparalleled in the world, and the blades he created were hard to find, that is, he had four forging thaumaturgy, Gan Ning's Purple Shark Broken Wave Knife and Zhao Yun's White Dragon Bright Silver Spear were all the same! Later, under the inspiration of Liu Yi, there was an improvement, and last year it was successfully experimented with five forged steel! However, the so-called art is endless, and the excellence of casting techniques makes Xu Gang never give up further exploration! I'm afraid that among the craftsmen here, he is the only one who will call Liu Yi by his name, and the two families have an old relationship.

"Hehe, I don't dare to ask for it, and after a while today, I will consult with Mr. Xu." Liu Yi said with a slight smile, the effect of five forged steel is already excellent, after several times of purification, the ductility and hardness of the steel itself have been greatly improved, but because of the extremely high requirements of this process, even Xu Gang is not successful every time, let alone large-scale use, at this time how to make this new material mass production has become a current topic.

Regarding the use of this five-forged steel, Liu Yi also had considerations in his heart, at first he wanted to use it on sea ships, imagining how shocking it would be if the ironclad ship could appear in the late Han Dynasty, but then he overturned this unrealistic idea, shipbuilding is a systematic operation, with the current level is categorically impossible to do, and the knowledge of later generations must also be based on reality, and Liu Yi is not an encyclopedia, many of them are just a little superficial, although it is already remarkable in this era, But if it is too detached from reality, it becomes wishful thinking.

The military is the second he overthrows, the blades currently used by the soldiers in Youzhou have generally used the material of two forgings and three forgings, which is now an extremely advanced level, and then improve the combat power of the promotion has little effect, after repeated thinking, it can only be used in agriculture, to improve the effectiveness of farm tools, this is the best way to play its role to the maximum, as for the large-scale industry at this time, it is like an ironclad ship belongs to the air pavilion, there is no actual basis.

After meeting everyone, Liu Yi took a seat, and Feng Ruoxi stood behind him, although everyone felt that the entourage brought by the general today was too handsome, and some people even secretly guessed whether General Liu had also begun to have the prosperity of Longyang, but they did not dare to guess and discuss the people around the general, and immediately Yang Shan, the head of the apparatus, got up first and spoke, and what he said was the plow.

"The general recently passed the plough in the inferior have been carefully studied, which is indeed ingenious, whether the structure or the transmission force is excellent, the ordinary strong man with the plough can save half of the time compared to the past, and look at it, the cost will not be too high, in front of the people of Youzhou, it should be bearable, plus the help of the state, county and county governments, with a good view, this year can be promoted in the whole territory of Youzhou. The general really has a unique vision and admires it. "This Yang Shan is also a famous craftsman in Youzhou, or the head of the guild, on the casting technique may not be as good as Xu Gang can work but to pass, plus generous, very respected by peers, so Liu Yi appointed him as the head of the utensils, and he is even more generous, his son ** has been filial piety this year, and is currently serving in Fangshan County, so Yang Shan's heart for Liu Yi is also the same as Ma Yuan, and people are extremely respectful! Moreover, some of Liu Yi's ideas also benefited him a lot, and now this plough tool is believed to be from him.

"Yang has always been meticulous in his work, and now you can rest assured that Liu Mou is here, but after today, the output of this plough tool will be counted in detail, and there must be at least 20,000 if you want to promote it in the whole state, hard work!" Liu Yi said with a smile, his requirements for the apparatus are the same as those of Youzhou Racecourse, there is one to say, there is no need to conceal and falsely report, originally today he was ready to say in front of everyone that this plough was made by Feng Ruoxi, but when he was at home, Feng Ruoxi and all the women were unanimously opposed, after all, as a daughter, even if a woman dressed as a man, there would be a lot of inconvenience, she could only hide behind Liu Yi, and Feng Ruoxi was already Liu Yi's person, and there was no need to divide each other.

"General rest assured, within ten days, the detailed figures will be handed over to Lord Chen!" Yang Shan was obviously accustomed to Liu Yi's style of doing things, and he did not hesitate to speak at the moment.

"Well, in addition to the detailed figures, the various materials and silver money required should also be counted and handed over together, and the prepared can be more than 20% of the pre-made loss, as for the required manpower Ji Ming is now in Jizhou, you can find Lord Zhong Xuan, if there is anything else that is needed Yang Suo, who is difficult for the two adults to solve, will come directly to my house!" Liu Yi thought for a moment and added some important points.

"General, this is the villain's redrawn map of the sea ship, this ship is different from the two ships of the sea dragon Jiaolong in the army, mainly for sea voyages, and its hull... Yang Shanshili sat down, Li Fengzhu got up and came to Liu Yi, there were people on both sides of the wooden frame, a huge sheepskin drawing was displayed in front of Liu Yi and everyone, the painting on it is the result of a dry shipbuilder brainstorming combined with practical experience, when the wooden frame was erected, he held a bamboo pole and began to point to the drawings one by one to explain the performance of the ship in detail and Liu Yi know, occasionally the two also have questions and answers, Li Fengzhu is the answer is like a stream, it seems that this time the design of the ship is full of confidence.

Liu Yi looked attentive throughout the whole process, and listened very carefully, which is also the look that the craftsmen like to see on the general's face the most, which shows that the general attaches great importance to their achievements and is also a great respect for them. After Li Fengzhu finished his tirade, Liu Yi nodded slightly but looked back at Feng Ruoxi, with encouragement in his eyes, at this time, Feng Ruoxi's eyes also became firm, and he walked to the field and took the bamboo pole from Li Fengzhu.

"Look at Mr. Li's design, this ship and the sea to travel to the wind-based, if the wind and waves are calm on both sides of the oars to slide by manpower, the design is very ingenious, small can be admired, but so the manpower required is very huge, since it is a long voyage, the people on the ship should be less appropriate, small but there is a thing here can be used for the oars, but it needs to be placed in the cabin, please Mr. Li and you for details!" Feng Ruoxi smiled at this Li Fengzhu before she spoke, her voice had been changed by Wang Xinran with medicine, although it sounded extremely soft at this time, it could barely be regarded as a man's voice, everyone was surprised when they saw him enter, and after he spoke, they knew that the entourage brought by General Liu today was probably also a master in this, otherwise how could the general let him do this? And Liu Yi's vision has always been convinced by these craftsmen.

As soon as Feng Ruoxi's words fell, Liu Liu and Liu Qiduo came to the field with a roll of white silk, and after opening it, what was painted on it was a wheel-shaped object, and the surrounding wood chips were shaped like oars but were wider, and the angle was also cleverly designed, which should greatly reduce the resistance between this object and the water! This is also a figure from the fragment, and it took several days and nights to draw this drawing for today's meeting, and it can be regarded as doing its best.

The so-called layman looks at the lively, the insider looks at the doorway, Feng Ruoxi's drawings are nothing in the eyes of others, but these industry elites have seen the extraordinary, and under her explanation, more and more feel that this thing is infinitely useful, among which the deepest feeling is none other than Li Fengzhu, in his opinion, if this thing is installed on both sides of the ship, then the sailors can get the forward power of the ship by stepping on it, which is more effective than paddling by hand, and roughly speaking, the use of this design can save at least half of the number of sailors, And in the navigation means that the endurance is enhanced, and when the wind is downwind, this thing can increase the speed of the ship or slow down, no wonder the lord will bring this person here today, it is really a master of this, at this time Li Fengzhu has subconsciously considered how to use the space of the cabin to place these equipment, although it may take more time to do so, but from the perspective of the effect, it is extremely worthwhile.

"This thing is cleverly designed, conducive to practicality, and itself is not too bulky, it can indeed play a great role in the sea ship, Mr. is admired by the villain, please see the name of the high surname." After Feng Ruoxi's explanation, Li Fengzhu immediately stepped forward and said with a deep salute, full of sincerity in his words, and the audience who said these words of praise also nodded again and again, such an exquisite design came from this person's hand, and the explanation was extremely detailed, which can indeed be praised.

"Xiao Ke's surname is Liu Mingxi, he is a child of the general's family, some shallow views are not worthy of Mr. Li's praise, this sea ship is cleverly designed, Xiao Ke is just on the order of the general to give Mr. Li and you a little advice." Fang Cai Feng Ruoxi was still a little nervous at first, but after starting to explain, she was already a lot calmer, thinking of her husband Fang Cai's words, she really regarded this place as the Qin Si Pavilion of the day, and she became more and more free in the face of everyone, at this time, seeing Li Fengzhu's words of approval, her heart was also quite complacent, and she bowed slightly to avoid it, said modestly, and smiled at Li Fengzhu and everyone after speaking, and slowly returned to Liu Yi to stand still, at this time she felt quite relieved in her heart, and looked at her husband's approving gaze was even sweeter.

"General, this Liu Gongzi's design is very extraordinary, if it can be used on the sea ship, it will definitely enhance its long-distance sailing ability, but it will take time to settle it, the villain will gather everyone to study again when he goes back this time, I hope the general can give the villain more time." Feng Ruoxi had already stood back, and Li Fengzhu pondered for a moment before speaking to Liu Yi again.

"Okay, even if you go back and prepare carefully, the things you need must be handed over to Chen and Zhong in advance, you don't have to be in a hurry in this matter, you have to try to ensure that nothing goes wrong, but to design such a sea boat, Fengzhu you have done a very good job, since it has no name yet, Liu will give a last, it is called "shooting the sun"! Liu Yi agrees with what Li Fengzhu said, although this matter is imperative, but there is no need to chase the time, and the efforts of these shipbuilders must be affirmed.

"Thank you, General! The villain and a kind of colleague must do their best, Liu Gongzi's design can not only be used for sea ships, but also for our military warships can also be used to improve, the wind and waves in the inland river are far less than the sea, this thing is more miraculous. Li Fengzhu didn't know what special meaning Liu Yi said about the word shooting the sun, but the general personally named the ship had made him feel honored, and then he knelt on the ground and said loudly, he seemed to always regard himself as a slave in front of Liu Yi, and said a few times to no avail, and Lang Sheng had to let him go, but what he said in the end was indeed reasonable.

"General, from a good point of view, this design of Liu Gongzi can be used not only for sea boats, but also for waterwheels, so it will be extremely beneficial for irrigation." Li Fengzhu retreated to sit down after speaking, but Yang Shan got up again and said, as soon as he said this, Feng Ruoxi had a look of admiration in his eyes, as the head of the instrument, this person's gaze was extremely good.

"Hehe, Yang is really far-sighted, this is what I want to discuss with you today, Liu Xi!" Liu Yi smiled slightly and nodded in approval, and then looked back at Feng Ruoxi behind him and said.
