Li Yan didn't know that the trouble he caused last year had only broken out now, but Hou Fangyu, who was in Guide, didn't know the specific thing. After returning to his hometown, he formed a "Xueyuan Society" literary club, and in addition to reviewing books all day long, he met friends with literature, preparing for the next exam, and the rest of the time, he just wanted Li Xiangjun. This time, he was only entrusted by his relatives to write a letter to ask Zuo Liangyu to help clear up the bandits in Germany.

As for whether this kind of private transfer of court officials and soldiers to suppress bandits is in line with the rules, he doesn't care, and he doesn't have the awareness of this. Zuo Liangyu has soldiers and generals, and it is just a matter of bringing soldiers over to help, even if it is a private affair, it can be regarded as justice, and there is always nothing wrong with suppressing thieves and catching thieves!

Li Yan was in the carpentry workshop at this time, and he and Master Huang came to discuss the issue of the gun carriage.

"The bend of these two sons should be wrapped in iron to enhance the ability to withstand force." Li Yan pointed to the tripod of the gun carriage and said, "The recoil of the cannon will all fall to these two positions. Also, in the bracket that touches the ground, an iron drill or something like should be installed so that the gun does not slide backwards after firing. ”

"Well, Childe is right." Master Huang nodded and said: "I didn't expect the power of the artillery to be so great before, these places need to be strengthened, and the entire gun carriage also needs to add iron plates to various parts to strengthen the hardness, especially the position of the cannon lugs." ”

Li Yan asked, "Have you been in contact with the blacksmith workshop?" ”

"The size has been sent to them." Master Huang replied.

Li Yan nodded, and then said, "It's a matter of transportation." The way you installed the wheels on the mounts of the gun carriage was not good, and it would roll over if you were very deliberate. It is better to have a double wheel in front, with a smaller diameter, and remove the two small wheels after the cannon is transported to the place. ”

"Why use small wheels?" Master Huang asked puzzled.

Li Yan motioned to the two carpenters to lift the gun carriage and said, "If you use wheels of the same size, the downward inclination angle of the gun muzzle is too large, and the closer it is to the ground, the more unfavorable it is for transportation." There is also the problem of the center of gravity, if the center of gravity is too backward, it is also easy to overturn. ”

"Oh, I see." Master Huang thought as he nodded in approval.

Li Yan continued to make a request, and said: "The connection between the front car and the gun carriage must be strong and reliable, whether it is uphill or downhill, the front car and the gun carriage must not be separated." You can ask the blacksmith to get some bolts for fixing. ”

"Childe, rest assured," Master Huang assured, "as long as this gun mount can withstand the recoil of the cannon, you can rest assured that everything else will be done properly for you." The towing part of this gun carriage will also be done for you, you can make a cannon of several thousand catties or ten thousand catties, and there are enough horses to drag it. ”

Li Yan said with a smile: "Don't bother me, these are all things used in war, if you are not careful, the soldiers will lose their lives." They were all raised by their fathers and mothers, and I can't let them die worthless! ”

"Childe Gaoyi!" Master Huang bowed his hand and said, "In this world, we don't care about human life anywhere, and only you, Gongzi, still care about our life." Please bow down to the little old man. ”

Li Yan held Master Huang's arm and said, "Master Huang doesn't have to be polite, Li is just following his heart." ”

He had just held Master Huang here, but the other carpenters also bowed down with their fists and said loudly: "Thank you for the grace of Li Gongzi's life." ”

Li Yanxu helped: "Let's all get up." If you can do the things at hand well, it is the greatest reward for Li. ”

As soon as the carpenters straightened up, Li Mu hurried over.

"Fourth brother, but I found you," Li Mu said after he came in, "You should go back and have a look." ”

Li Yan said goodbye to Master Huang and them, and only after leaving the carpentry workshop with Li Mu did he ask, "What's wrong?" ”

"You brought back that Wu Niang, and you quarreled with Qiu Niang." Li Mu explained: "I'm making a fuss about leaving now. I stopped you, fourth brother, go back and take a look. A few mothers-in-law are noisy, we don't scold, we don't fight, you can deal with it yourself. ”

Li Yan frowned, he had promised Daddy Niu to take good care of Wu Niang. And the construction of artillery is not something that can be made with just a few words, it has been more than two months to build a gun carriage, not to mention a cannon. Moreover, the cost of the cannon is much higher than the gun carriage, and if the first one is scrapped, I don't know how long it will take for the second one to start casting. He also wants to use the relationship between Wu Niang to get Master Niu over, so that the cannon can be cast more smoothly.

So he nodded and said, "Let's go, let's go back." ”

"Fourth brother, I didn't think you were interested in women's sex before, why did you go to Kaifeng and bring one back?" Li Mu asked gossip as he walked.

"What nonsense?!" Li Yan scolded unhappily: "Wu Niang is the key person in our cannon casting. ”

"Just her?" Li Mu said in disbelief: "An old girl, can cast cannons? I don't believe it. ”

Li Yan explained: "It's Master Niu, Master Niu treats Wu Niang as a girl." said that after a while, he would come to see Wu Niang with us. If Wu Niang is unhappy, then we can only try it slowly. ”

After Li Yan arrived at Qili Village, he saw Wu Niang standing at the door of the village with a puff, and Qiu Niang was holding her arms and looking at it contemptuously. There are also many people who watch the excitement from a distance.

"What are you guys making a fuss about?!" Li Yan scolded: "Go back!" Everyone else is scattered! ”

Li Yan scolded like this, and the people who watched the excitement soon left, and Qiu Niang didn't dare to stand in place anymore. But Wu Niang was not afraid, and said loudly: "Let your people get out of the way!" I'm getting out of here! ”

Li Yan persuaded: "Don't make trouble, it's much safer here than other places." With food and soldiers, where is it better than here? Besides, Master Niu also said that he wanted to come to see you, and you are gone, how can I explain to Master Niu. ”

"They said you are in the county seat, and I will go to the county seat with you." When Wu Niang heard "food", she was a little scared. But he said, "I'm not staying here anyway!" ”

"Okay, let's go to the county seat." Li Yan readily agreed.

After that, he reprimanded Qiu Niang again: "Didn't you take good care of Wu Niang?" Why is there a fuss?! ”

"I told her to go to the weaving mill, and she said no." Qiu Niang explained aggrievedly: "Can't you learn, we have never raised idlers here." After that, she made a fuss about leaving, so let her go, saving a waste of food. ”

Li Yan ignored Qiu Niang's words and said to Wu Niang: "Go, follow me to the county seat." ”

Wu Niang didn't have anything, so she left with Li Yan directly, and Li Yan also set a carriage for Wu Niang.

Qiu Niang looked at the back of Li Yan, who was leaving on the horse, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

At this time, Shi Jincai came to Qiu Niang's side and said, "You saw it, the general doesn't have you in his heart at all." ”

"Shut up!" Qiu Niang scolded: "What does it have to do with you?!" With that, he quickly went back to her room.
