Chapter 431: Is This a Love Token?
Zhao Junsheng scratched his ears and cheeks, and said, "ThatΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Have you asked Mulan? β
"Ask her? She was a girl's house, and asked her what she was doing. Ask her, she is embarrassed! I'm in charge of this, and the two will get married later! β
"Two months later? That's a little too fast, right? There are too many things to do after the beginning of spring, and you can't be busy, even if you set up a wedding banquet, no one will come to eat the wedding wine! β
Hua Arc thought about it, after the beginning of spring, everyone was busy with farming, to graze, to fertilize the fields, to water the wool, to cut wool, after a period of time the wheat had to be harvested, and the real time had to wait until the autumn when the farmers were idle.
"You're right when you say that, so let's do it, set the marriage for the first snow after the harvest this autumn, and don't change it anymore!" The flower arc said categorically.
Zhao Junsheng hugged his fists and agreed: "Okay, then listen to uncle!" β
Construction continues in the city, the market has long been scaled, the shops and houses in the market continue to be built, and the houses in the horse market and the cattle market are being built every day, and these houses are rented by merchants from the north and south before they are completed.
Zhao Junsheng made a tour of the construction site, and led some people to gallop towards the river dozens of miles outside the city.
An hour later, Zhao Junsheng stopped at the river, rode along the river and observed for a while, and saw that the herdsmen were grazing by the river, the grass was lush and the livestock were fat and strong.
Zhao Junsheng said while riding a horse: "We have too many livestock, we can't raise too many livestock on both sides of this river, and it won't be long before the grass here will be gnawed up, we have to find a way!" β
Pei Jin said: "General, then we can only expand the area of grazing and drive the cattle further north for grazing!" β
Zhao Junsheng nodded, and pointed to the river beach and said: "Look at the river beach on both sides of the river, I think you can plant reeds here, and the reeds will grow a large area in a few years, and then all the reeds on both sides of the river will be reeds, and when the season comes, the reeds will be harvested and cut off to feed the livestock!" Pei Jin, you are responsible for this matter, find someone to plant reeds on the sides of several rivers in our jurisdiction! β
The terrain on both sides of the river is low for a mile or two, and the land is moist and fertile, so that reeds can be planted, and once the reeds grow in patches, the reeds harvested each year can feed millions of animals, and the animals should not be driven farther away to graze and destroy the water and soil vegetation.
In order to protect the water and soil vegetation here and prevent the land from desertification, Zhao Junsheng strictly stipulates that the grazing position must be changed every once in a while.
The families of the soldiers and generals were successively taken over to add a lot of population to Wuchuan City, and the people outside Senese also gradually took the initiative to emigrate to Wuchuan City, and the population of Wuchuan Town exceeded 50,000 in the summer.
In order to provide more garrisons, Zhao had to order craftsmen and slave construction teams to build houses in the sweltering heat, and put up notices that residents could buy ownership of these houses from the town guard.
Until now, the vast majority of the houses lived in by the townskeepers were rented from the town guards, and many people wanted to buy them for a long time, but the town guards have not relaxed the purchase restrictions, and now the town guards allow residents to buy, and the residents naturally come in droves.
The sale of houses brought a large amount of income to the town guard's house, and soon after the shops began to be sold, many merchants flocked to it.
I don't know when, the news that Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan will get married after the autumn spread out, although many soldiers and generals have long known that the two of them are married fiancΓ©s, but they are really happy after hearing the news, which is not only the benefit of a meal of wine for them.
"Young lady, I heard that you and the young master are going to get married after the autumn, congratulations!" Liang Lin found Mulan and said with a smile.
A hint of blush flashed on Mulan's face, and she quickly changed the topic: "Uncle Liang came to Mulan to talk about this?" β
Liang Lian remembered the matter, and immediately said: "It's such a young lady, there are too many workers in several factories, and I can't manage it alone, today I see that Miss Wan seems to have nothing to do, she has been in charge of the garment factory before, and has some experience in this, I want her to come over to help, do you think it's okay?" β
Hua Mulan said: "You just have to watch and call the shots about this, you don't have to ask me about everything!" By the way, would she like it herself? β
"I haven't gone to her yet!"
The two were talking, but they didn't expect Wan Yutong to come.
"General, Miss Wan is here!"
"Oh?" Hua Mulan was puzzled and ordered, "Please let her in!" β
After Wan Yutong was introduced, Mulan asked with a smile: "Miss Wan, you rarely come here, do you have something to do today?" β
"Yes, I'm here to bid farewell to you and Zhao Junsheng! My father wrote to me saying that he had settled down in Pingcheng and had sent someone to pick me up, and I was going to Pingcheng tomorrow, thank you and Zhao Junsheng for your care for most of the past six months! β
Hua Mulan and Liang Lin glanced at each other, she smiled and said, "This is nothing, not to mention that General Wan specifically asked us, even if there is none, this is what we should do!" Has it already been decided? Don't think about it anymore? Heijo doesn't have to be more comfortable than here! β
Wan Yutong smiled and said, "I have already decided, it is always better for relatives to be together than to be separated!" β
Hua Mulan was silent for a few seconds and nodded: "I was going to ask you to stay and take charge of the production of the garment factory, but since you have decided to leave, I won't force you to stay!" I'll send you tomorrow, and I have a little gift for General Wan, so I'll bother General Wan to bring it over! β
"Good!"
Armory.
Two armor founders came out with a large spear wrapped in coarse cloth, and a craftsman followed behind with a wooden box more than three feet long in both hands.
"General, this is the spear and war knife forged from the 'ice hockey' metal you bought at the beginning, they are all forged according to your body shape, weight and strength, and you shouldn't feel any discomfort when using it!"
Only the user knows if the weapon is in hand, but who is suitable for how long and how many weapons are suitable for use can be calculated according to the user's height, body shape, weight and strength, which is the ability of the weapon forger.
The two craftsmen took off the coarse cloth that had wrapped the spear and placed it on the weapon, and the wooden box containing the sword was placed on the table.
Zhao Junsheng walked over and reached out to grab the spear, this gun weighed forty-nine catties, many times heavier than ordinary spears, the head of the gun was prismatic, there were blood grooves on all sides of the prism, the tail of the head of the gun also had blades open to the left and right sides, and there was a cluster of red tassels at the junction between the head and the barrel.
The barrel is made of all-metal, because it is mixed with some other metals to make it very tough and elastic, and the barrel has a raised dragon pattern, which can be convenient to wrap hemp rope and/or coarse cloth on the barrel to increase the friction when holding the barrel, so as not to slip when making the gun.
Zhao Junsheng held the gun with both hands and opened the posture, and used the Yang family's marksmanship, and the marksmanship was unleashed, and the surrounding soldiers and craftsmen all felt the chill all around, and the temperature of the air seemed to drop by more than ten degrees, and they shivered involuntarily.
Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that many people's teeth were chattering after playing a set of marksmanship: "How can this be?" β
"General, I'll feel so cold after you play with the gun!" A soldier said with his teeth chattering.
Jiao Yunzhe stepped forward and said to Zhao Junsheng: "General, this may be the special effect of that piece of cold iron at the beginning!" In addition, its spear head has a very strong ability to pierce armor, and his subordinates have tried it by finding someone, putting three sets of the thickest armor on a human-shaped stake, and only one shot can pierce through all three layers of thick armor, and no one can block its frontal stabbing! β
"Okay, this gun is well cast, it's very handy, and the weight is just right!" After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he pointed to the wooden box: "Is this a knife?" β
Jiao Yunzhe opened the wooden box, "Yes, it weighs thirteen pounds, and it is extremely sharp!" With its weight and sharpness, no one and no armor can stop its slash, and it can cut a person into two with a single sword! β
Zhao Junsheng walked to the table and took out the war knife in the wooden box, the scabbard was also beautifully made and artistic, and it was inlaid with gold, silver and precious stones.
With a "sonorous" sound, Zhao Junsheng pulled out his battle knife, and a cold cold light shone out, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
The blade of this knife is not very wide, and it is only one inch longer than an ordinary waist knife, and the blade is slightly curved, which is suitable for chopping, but it feels several times heavier than ordinary steel knives in the hand, which must be because the metal density is much greater than that of iron.
He walked up to a humanoid stake in armor and slashed diagonally, the sword slashed down without hindrance, and almost without encountering any resistance, the upper half of the humanoid stake gradually slid down, and the armor and stake fractures on it were smooth and neat.
Looking at the blade again, there was no defect, Zhao Junsheng was overjoyed: "Okay, good knife!" β
Jiao Yunzhe said with a smile: "General, it took a total of one year and eight months for these two weapons to be cast, and the subordinates can be regarded as having completed the task, and in the end, there is still a pound and two taels of materials left, and the subordinates are in charge and let the casting master make it into a pair of dragon and phoenix daggers!" β
A small wooden box was sent to Zhao Junsheng, he opened the box and looked at it, and said with satisfaction: "Okay!" All craftsmen involved in forging these weapons will be rewarded! β
"Thank you, General!" The craftsmen were overjoyed.
"General, General Hua, please go back!" A soldier came over and clenched his fists in retribution.
Zhao Junsheng handed over the weapon to Li Bao and the others to take it and returned to the town guard mansion.
As soon as they met, Mulan said, "Miss Wan is leaving!" β
"Going? Why do you want to leave all of a sudden? Where are you going? Zhao Junsheng wondered.
Hua Mulan looked at his expression, "Naturally, I'm going to General Pingcheng Wan!" I guess she probably heard the news that we were going to get married, so she felt like she couldn't live here anymore! β
Zhao Junsheng said quietly: "If she wants to leave, let her go, and you will send it off when the time comes!" β
"You're not going?"
"I'm not going!"
"Are you willing?" Hua Mulan looked at Zhao Junsheng with a strange expression.
Zhao Junsheng took out the two daggers in the wooden box under his armpit, "This is a pair of dragon and phoenix daggers, this phoenix dagger is for you, the dragon dagger belongs to me, keep it well, don't lose it!" β
Hua Mulan took the dagger and looked at it, it was very exquisite, and when she pulled it out again, she immediately felt its sharpness, she liked it very much, and looked up and asked, "Is this a token of love?" β
