Chapter 263: Fluke

Lu Gao mentioned cartography, most of them have learned from Yang Dun, especially modern three-dimensional mapping and standard specifications, which is a field that is difficult to recognize nowadays.

negotiated with Lu Gao and Liu Dan about the crossbow, and rushed to inspect the coking mill and chain mail.

It is said that the coking mill opened in late May, and two people died on the sixth day, because there was no visible external cause and disease, many people thought that they were killed by witchcraft, but in fact, they died of carbon monoxide poisoning, which once affected coke production.

There are strict ventilation regulations when coking in deserted villages, Bailiyan has taken care of Liu Zao's father and son many times, and must keep ventilation when scorching, only saying that coal poison will be produced when scorching is stuffy, but he doesn't want to die and poison the two people just after the refining started.

Even in modern industrial coking, the carbon monoxide concentration is diluted mainly through ventilation and extraction equipment, but at present, due to the constraints of technology and equipment, there is no better measure but to strengthen ventilation.

Bai Liyan (Wei Xian) inspected the site on the spot, and decided to penetrate all the walls on the east and west sides of the workshop, replace the load-bearing walls with brick and stone columns, and open up the roofs on the left and right sides of the coke oven, and add rising platforms to facilitate the downward flow of air on the top floor, and drive out the dense carbon monoxide that sinks at the bottom of the room.

The production of chain mail consumes more than sixty percent of molten steel, mainly in the production of pawn chain mail, the output of various types is only more than 800 pieces, between weapons and chain mail, Zhao Xun tends to produce chain mail, which coincides with Bailiyan.

The Xian army lacks manpower, and it is one person who can die less, even if the lower body is disabled, at least it can be passed on to the next generation, which is better than death.

Yang Dun's work was carried out in an orderly manner, and there were more than 20,000 craftsmen transferred by King Xian from all over the country, engaged in carpentry, metallurgy, forging, steelmaking, coking, cutting edges, weaving, building houses, chiseling stones, kilns, etc., among which the Imperial Division allocated more than 30 workers, more than 500 craftsmen, according to professional expertise, after passing the unified screening and assessment, they were assigned to work in various independent workshops, so as to enhance the relative isolation of each link of the process.

The key core processes such as cold forging, quenching, and heat treatment are supervised by the original team of the deserted village and the envoys sent by the workers, and the apprentices with clean roots are selected to work and pass on the skills.

The production of bone china, soap, and ice has been intermittent, and some productions are insufficient, and the difficulties in logistics and transportation lead to the failure of raw materials to arrive in time.

The main problem is that the transportation of the Yongxing River is paralyzed, resulting in the fact that Beihai County's products can only be transported by land, and the cost remains high and the transportation volume is seriously insufficient. It can only barely maintain the transportation of potassium nitrate in Lincheng, and as the cattle have become more and more precious, the king of Xian once issued a ban on slaughter, and the acquisition of cattle bones has become a big problem.

The production is not smooth, directly affecting the income of the last two months, but it is not useless, the production of rice paper, hemp paper, yellow paper and other papers is extremely convenient, and the entire Shanling is in short supply. Due to Bailiyan's reform of the process and the improvement of the quality, the paper of Yongxing City was also exported to the Jin and Xihai kingdoms through Dongyuan County, but the profits were much lower. After all, paper is made, not banknotes.

Chengxi was busy all day, almost about to break two legs, returned to Zhao Xun's camp at dusk to rest, just sat down to eat a few mouthfuls of dried meat, Jiang Jie rode a fast horse to the camp, left and right to ask Bailiyan where he lived, and followed the direction to the outside of the tent.

"General Wei is here!"

Bai Liyan frowned, listening to the familiar voice, he came to the outside of the tent, and saw that it was Jiang Jie leading the horse.

"Jiang Jie, why are you here?"

"It was the two sisters who heard that the general had returned, and asked their subordinates to come and ask when the general would be free."

"Oh, Ben forgot about it. In this way, you let the two of her prepare tonight, wait in the village tomorrow morning, Ben will go to the tomb tomorrow, and you take the young guards and ride into the city together. ”

"No, then I'll go back and tell my two sisters."

"Well, go ahead."

Once a woman tastes the joy of fish and water, it is like a flood that opens the gate out of control, and it is lonely and difficult to burn herself at night.

Baili Yan pinched her fingers and calculated, not to mention that she had not had sex for four months, and the second daughter must have been hungry and thirsty and suffering from lovesickness. At this time, Bai Liyan felt inexplicably ashamed in her heart, but she couldn't help but think about it at the next moment.

Early in the morning of the second day, he visited Zhao Xun, and Bailiyan rode to Wang's Village.

The two daughters were dressed in coarse cloth and pink clothes and so on under the pergola in the small courtyard, wrapped tightly in the hot weather, and the light clothes were removed from the face, and the charm and grace of the past could not be seen at all.

"Chun Rou and her sister Chun Fang have seen the general." The two of them bowed deeply.

"Well, excuse me. It's so hot and so tight up and down, it's really hard for your sisters. ”

"The general once asked my two sisters to restrain their manners, so this is the only way to make a decision."

Chun Rou said softly, and Chun Fang stepped forward with beads of sweat rolling on her forehead:

"The general doesn't know, last month Chunfang and her sister went shopping in the village, and they were almost teased by a few soldiers and ruffians, it's really annoying."

"Yes, this army is chaotic, the military discipline of the veteran ruffians is scattered, and the families of the children of the powerful are located in the Wang Dependent Village, and most of the soldiers have loose military discipline. In the future, you will move to Yongxing City, where it is much safer and there are more women who work, which is more convenient than Wang's Village. ”

Wang's village has a tendency to develop into a county seat, only two months away, the village actually moved into nearly 10,000 people, and also opened a brothel, even many Jin army generals bought a few concubines in Chenling, and placed in the nearby Wang's village, this is a big dove to occupy the magpie's nest, this is not a good sign.

It is not their share to shed blood and fight, and the women who hide behind and sleep at night in Xianguo can't run away one by one, if the 250,000 Jin troops are all in Xianguo, they will have it after fifty years.

Jiang Jie asked people to bring a carriage, put Chunrou and Chunfang into it, and then asked him to send people to Yicaotang, Xiyi Caotang, and then Bailiyan rushed to Chengling with his guards to meet King Xian.

As soon as he ran out of less than ten miles, he saw a Liang Guoma team coming towards him, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Li Yi, the nephew of Antai Hou Jitong and Bailiyan.

"What a coincidence, General Wei, my uncle ordered me to come and invite General Wei to come over, but I didn't want to meet him halfway."

Li Yi controlled the reins of the horse, and the smile on his face made Bai Liyan feel that this kid must have a bad stomach, and there must be no good thing.

"I don't know what Master Hou is doing, but please ask Li Gongzi to say it clearly."

"Oh, it's not very important, I heard that General Wei returned with a great victory, my uncle just wanted to ask the general to come over the house to teach one or two, I don't know if General Wei can appreciate it."

Bai Liyan really suspected that Li Yi, this kid, must not have any good intentions, and he must have come to harm his uncle again.

"Wei still has to meet the king today, if you don't know the day, how about Wei take the time to visit Antaihou tomorrow."

"Well, that's a deal."

If you don't come early, you don't come late, but you return a few days later, it's definitely not a good thing. Thinking of this, Bai Liyan originally wanted to go back to the city with this kid, and talk to him on the way, but he didn't want him to slip his head and shirk to travel to Wang Dependent's Village, which was obviously a plan to get out, which only increased Bai Liyan's suspicions.

It was already afternoon when he arrived at the Lingling, Baili Yan went straight to the palace non-stop, and after some courtesy, he finally saw King Xian who was studying with the prince in the Bailing Garden.

"The last general, Wei Xian, see the king."

"The widowed General Wei is finally here, excuse me."

"King Xie."

Bailiyan put away the number of gifts, and King Xian stood up and called the prince to his side:

"Sting, this is General Wei Xian Wei that my father told you about, hurry up and salute General Wei."

The prince carefully glanced at the man in front of him, and an unprecedentedly powerful momentum hit him, which made him breathless.

"See, I've seen General Wei."

"The prince's gift, the last general will not dare to take it." Bailiyan bowed and returned the salute.

The crown prince Jiang Yu is fifteen this year, and there are several sisters above him, one of whom is married to the crown prince of Jin as a concubine. It is said that fifteen years old can also have sex with Xihuan, but Xihuan's stomach has not moved for a long time, so there are only three possibilities. Jiang Yu is too small and weak, either Xihuan is a hen that does not lay eggs, and then Jiang Yu does not like Xihuan, and there is no side concubine, so there is no intercourse.

However, with Xihuan's strength, before he has a relationship, he will definitely not let Jiang Yu take the side concubine, otherwise if Mr. is a prince and grandson, she will be embarrassed as a prince and concubine in the future.

After a few words of greeting, King Xian sent the prince away and said it alone:

"General Wei's journey to the west is not easy."

"Thank you for your concern, there is no danger all the way, but it is also a blessing in misfortune. The Black Turban Army Divine Power King is extremely cunning, if it is not a fluke this time, it is really difficult to defeat him. ”

"Listen to Lu Gao, you defeated him in four formations, outwitted Shao Ping in one formation, deceived the black turban stallion in the second formation with a beauty trick, killed the rebels in the third formation, and seized the horses, and the fourth formation led locusts to destroy the fields, causing them heavy losses. The array is taking advantage of it, and General Wei is modest. ”

"No, my lord. When a soldier is in danger, he should always introspect and admonish, never overestimate himself, nor underestimate his opponent. The thrill of this time lies in the fact that the Black Turban Army transferred 50,000 troops under the nose of the Jin army and came to encircle Shaoping.

Secondly, in the battle of Shaoping, our army has actually been trapped in the strategy of the supernatural king, and the last general will realize it later, and he has no choice but to make this strategy, and the strategy is a dangerous move, and the supernatural power is to be killed by the last general several times and is unprepared, and he has broken his poisonous plan.

The secret of this ingenuity lies in the fact that the enemy does not know the mysterious truth, but it can be one or two, but it cannot be repeated, and it can be opportunistic every time, and if you want to defeat the supernatural powers, you still have to outwit it, and you can't take it by skill. ”

King Xian was puzzled when he heard this, so he asked:

"What's the difference between being clever and outwitting?"

"Ingenuity is small wisdom, outwitting is great wisdom, ingenuity is inferior to great wisdom, and ingenuity is not the right way after all. Great wisdom is needed to stabilize the country, and the same is true for marching and fighting. Xiao Zhi's strategy, with a time and a place is acceptable, the overall situation is like a frog at the bottom of the well, not only can not be competent, but suffer from it, but also hope that the king Mingjian. ”

"The widow understands, General Wei is worried that he is not a supernatural opponent, but is this?"

"Exactly, our army knows nothing about supernatural powers, and the Black Turban Army knows the situation of our Xianguo well, and it is very easy for them to understand the reality of our army, which is not conducive to our army's battle.

This time, the 150,000 Jin army in Lei Cheng was able to hold the troops and release the water to let the Black Turban Army draw troops south, which can be seen. If this matter is spread, what face will the Jin army have to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, even if there is no credibility between countries. But when the Central Plains is in danger, the Jin State, as the upper state of the Xian State, is just a walled mountain to watch the tiger fight, and at the critical moment, the black hand behind the back of our army, such bad deeds are spread, who can still be allied with the Jin State. ”

"Yes, what General Wei said is extremely true, even the old gentleman never expected this, and the widow is even more strange, how did the black turban traitors collude with the Jin army, or what happened to the Jin army in Leicheng, what does General Wei think?"

"The king's analysis is extremely true. If it weren't for the Jin State secretly communicating with the Black Turban Army, it would be the Jin Army stationed in Thunder City that had a problem. If this is the case, the 150,000 Jin army may become a sharp blade hanging over the head of Beihai County in the blink of an eye, and the Xianguo will be in danger and must be guarded against. The last general suggested that the Guangxin Military Headquarters should be transferred back to Beihai County as soon as possible to avoid changes. ”

"Yes, Jiang Min has been waiting for the troops to return to Guangxin, and when he goes like this, the widow will not be at ease. In case of self-respect with troops, can Beihai County still be a widowed Beihai County? ”

"That's better than being occupied by the black turban traitors in the name of the Jin army, after all, Guangxin Gong is still in the Jiang family's lineage, in the face of such a big thing, you must not do treason and betray your ancestors."

"Well, what General Wei said is reasonable, he is also a descendant of the Jiang family, if he really wants to rebel against the widow at this time, the widow will treat him with kindness. By the way, can the marriage date between General Wei and the county lord of Guangxin be set? ”

"The king, I originally planned to hold a wedding ceremony on the auspicious day of the summer harvest in July and the harvest of grains, but now Beihai County has already suffered a calamity that is not encountered in the New Year, and it is not appropriate to hold a wedding ceremony this year. Moreover, Yongxing City has just been built, and all matters are still to be prepared, and the marriage period will have to be a month and a half to say the least, and it will be difficult to get out at the end, so I plan to postpone the marriage for the time being, and wait for next year. ”

When King Xian heard the news and postponed the marriage, he not only laughed and said:

"If the widow remembers correctly, the county lord of Guangxin will be twenty-one next year, and the good years are so tossed by General Wei, I'm afraid it won't be beautiful in the future."

King Xian was obviously referring to Jiang Rong's age, and there were fewer opportunities for intercourse, but he was just a little more obscure.

Bai Liyan didn't pick up the conversation, and instead said:

"King, I don't know what Antaihou has to say about the poisoning of the imperial wine?"

"The matter of poisoned wine, the widow is ordering someone to investigate secretly, but it must not be Liang Guo's poisonous hand. As for Guo Pan, the widow has already cut him off from the post of royal secretary, and will clean him up in the future. ”

According to King Xian, Guo Pan went to give a banquet, which is the meaning of the Queen Mother, if there is no poisonous wine, Guo Pan represents the Queen Mother and the following, as soon as the poisonous wine comes out, the following will be yellow.

"King, the last general thinks that most of the poisonous wine is secretly done by the Black Turban Army, which intends to severely damage the commander of our army, and then eliminate the ability of the Xian army to unify the army, so that the combat strength of the Xian army can be weakened once and for all."

"This matter can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, but the Black Turban Army is too indiscriminate to use this means to harm our generals. If General Wei captures them alive in the future, he must not be kind to the woman, and those who still kill must be killed, otherwise they will open this head, and who will still abide by the rules in the future. ”

"The last will obey."
