Chapter 32: The Barracks
Liu Rong retracted some strength slightly, although Yuan Yuan was still under his control, it also made his breathing smoother.
A tear slipped from the corner of Yuan Yuan's eyes and said, "Your Majesty, the slave family wants to live, and the father of the family spends a lot of effort to let the mother escape, just to let the slave family and the mother live, but in this world, it is not easy, and there is a price to live, just like nine years ago, the slave family and the mother were left here, and if you want to, you must be committed to Shentu, so that she is willing to take in and pay to heal the slave mother." Now the same is the case, if the slave family wants or to, it must follow Your Majesty, if the slave family resisted yesterday, how can they live today? As for revenge? The slave family is just a weak woman, and she really can't do it! ”
She paused, looked into Liu Rong's eyes and said again, "When my mother was reincarnated, she once told the slave family that the death of my father was inevitable, even if there was no emperor, my father would be surrounded and killed, and the emperor treated my father with the gift of the emperor, and left the whole body to preserve his name." Mother once said that the first emperor was benevolent and righteous! If you change to any other princes, your father will definitely be embarrassed, speaking of which, in fact, the first emperor was kind to your father, and the slave family still understands this truth. ”
"And Your Majesty will not investigate the fault of the slave family and his son, and spare my two lives, how can the slave family not know what to do?"
"Therefore, in the face of Your Majesty, the slave family does not dare to hide, cannot hide, and does not want to hide! Your Majesty is the dragon among people, and it is a blessing for the slave family to be able to win a smile on the face of the dragon! Your Majesty, rest assured, the slave family really has no second thoughts! ”
Since Yuan Yuan opened her mouth, Liu Rong has been observing her expression, and during the whole process, although her eyes are worried, they do not flicker and float, and the possibility of lying is less than thirty percent.
Moreover, what she said was basically the truth.
He killed her husband, and Liu Bei forced her father to death, but what could he do.
Now, she is an ant, and she is a towering tree, even if the ants try their best, they can't shake this towering tree.
In that case, why should we not live well?
Therefore, Liu Rong slowly let go of his hand and said, "You persuaded me!" Go to the city with me today and take care of the rice shop for me, are you willing? ”
Yuan Yuan was overjoyed when she heard this, and she couldn't care about being naked at the moment, so she knelt on the couch and thanked her, "Your Majesty, the slave family is willing!" ”
Liu Rong nodded and said, "Also, you can take your son with you, but you must personally give him the gift of a monarch and a minister, so that he can make contributions to me one day!" ”
Yuan Yuan's head was lowered, and on the other hand, her buttocks were pouted higher, and Liu Yuan's eyes were hot for a while, which was another wonderful thing about the young woman, once she accepted it, she could let it go.
"Change my clothes!" Liu Rong shifted his gaze with difficulty, it was too damn a test of concentration.
However, if you want to get drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman in the future and wake up to the power of the world, you must refrain from it at the moment, and the plan you make must be strictly implemented.
It was time to practice martial arts, under the service of Yuan Yuan, Liu Rong came to the courtyard with only a shirt and trousers, first Zama, and after feeling that Zama's effect was not good, he practiced Taijiquan again.
Although the time of practicing martial arts is not long, with Zhao Yun's breath warming and medicinal bathing method, he can indeed feel the changes brought by his body.
The body is getting stronger day by day, the strength is gradually increasing, and the Tai Chi proficiency is also increasing.
These real effects are the motivation for Liu Rong to persist every day.
The boxing technique is becoming more and more proficient, making Liu Rong feel like a Tai Chi master at the moment, and his movements are smooth, extremely elegant, and full of beauty.
This not only caused Yuan Yuan, who had just left the room, to applaud, but he saw his hands folded, put them to his lips, and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this dance is really beautiful!" ”
"Bang dang!"
After Liu Rong, who had just practiced to the independence of the golden rooster, heard about it, he was scorched by the thunder and fell to the ground!
After a while, he was helped up by Yuan Yuan, and he patted the dirt on his body, okay, it's okay if you don't dance.
Out of the courtyard, the old patriarch was already waiting outside, ate breakfast in the village, Liu Rong took half of the gold cake and a box of mausoleum materials, took Yuan Yuan and a cadre and others, and embarked on the road back to the city.
Unlike yesterday, there is no need to rush today, so Liu Rong stopped and walked to enjoy the scenery of Shu while familiarizing himself with the surrounding situation of Chengdu City.
"Your Majesty, if you take this fork in the road and cross this mountain, it will be a garrison of the Prime Minister's Northern Expeditionary Army, garrisoned by about 50,000 soldiers and horses, and General Wei Yan is in charge of training!" Pang Bo came all the way and introduced Liu Rong.
Liu Rong nodded, at this time, there were not many famous generals in Shu Han, and Wei Yan was counted as one.
The team continued to move forward, and after walking for a while, Liu Rong saw a large camp in the distance, and the green smoke rose in the camp, so he asked, "Where is this?" ”
Pang Bo replied, "Back to Your Majesty, this is the Si Barracks, and seventy or eighty percent of all the weapons in the country come from here!" ”
"Sword-maker?" Liu Rong muttered to himself, and suddenly became interested, grabbed the horse rope, and said, "The team is resting here, and the three of you will go with me to take a look!" ”
After the three of them received the order, they followed Liu Rong to the gate of the camp, and there were soldiers holding their hands, and when they saw them, they stretched out their halberds in their hands and crossed them in pairs to show their blocking.
One of them said, "Weapons are heavy, you can't trespass, is there an edict?" ”
Pang Bo stopped and said, "Your Majesty has arrived, and you haven't notified the person in charge to come and greet you!" ”
"What? Your Majesty? All the soldiers changed color, and then looked at the armor on Liu Rong's body, it was indeed a high-end goods, even if he was not the emperor, he was also a relatively high-level general or a person with status, and someone left the team at the moment and ran inside to report.
But the halberd in their hands still did not put it down.
After a while, someone came panting, and he looked at the man on horseback outside the camp from a distance, isn't this the emperor? Isn't there the three commanders of the forbidden army behind him?
The foot sped up a few points again, and he opened the halberd of the guard soldier in three or two times, came to Liu Rongma, and knelt down and said, "Zhao Yi'an, the general of the minister's army, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”
Really the emperor? All the soldiers knelt down one after another, shouted long live, and looked at Liu Rong one by one.
Long Yan is not something that everyone can be lucky enough to see.
"Get up!" Liu Rong waved his hand and said, "I happened to pass by here today, go in and take a look!" ”
Zhao Yi'an got up and said, "Your Majesty came to inspect in person, and the minister is honored!" Then he took a few steps forward, took the reins from Liu Rong's hand and said, "Your Majesty, please!" ”
After entering the camp, Liu Rong heard a burst of shouting and the sound of ping-pong banging. As Zhao Yi'an led the way in, he saw where the shouting came from, the sound of soldiers shouting with force when pulling bellows or striking iron tools.
On both sides of the road, there are workshop-style production rooms, each production room has five to six people working individually, two people are taking turns pulling the bellows to provide blowing for the stove next to them, one person uses iron tongs to clamp the iron to be forged, put it into the furnace, Liu Rong calculated the time, and it took a long time to burn the iron red.
When the iron was red, the man took out the red-hot iron and put it on the iron felt behind him, and there were already two people with sledgehammers standing next to the iron felt.
And so on, gradually, a piece of iron that was originally rectangular was gradually shaped into the shape of a long knife, followed by fine forging, smashing blades, and forging handles.
A long knife took two hours.
At the end, the man took the long knife from the furnace and put it into the bucket that had been prepared next to it, and quenched it several times!
Liu Rong sighed, the ancients still had wisdom and knew that quenching could increase the hardness of the sword.
In the entire battalion, only a small part of the sword is made, and more are made of halberd parts.
The reason is obvious, the sword uses too much iron, and it is too time-consuming, and it needs to be accompanied by a scabbard. However, the halberd only needs a small amount of iron, and if the halberd head parts are made and the wooden handle is installed, it can be put into the battlefield.
Liu Rong said, "I look at here, there are a few questions, General Zhao can come to me in a few days, I give you some suggestions, I should have some help or improvement in weapon manufacturing!" ”
Zhao Yi'an nodded his head, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart.
Out of the camp, Liu Rong asked as he walked, "Is there a place for iron-making nearby?" ”
Lin Youzhi replied, "Iron comes out of the mine, and it is generally built near the mine, which is indeed a bit far from here!" ”
Liu Rong was a little sorry, but he was actually most concerned about ironmaking.
If the efficiency of ironmaking is improved, weapons will be continuously crafted.
In addition, if the quality of the iron smelted is high, the weapons made will also be of higher quality.
Also, I have to see if I can make a seamless steel pipe now.
