This is an old mansion, far more than General Zuo's Mansion and Cao Hong's Mansion, and it is already very spacious for Liu Tong and Hongli. The house has obviously just been cleaned up, and a lot of furniture and bonsai have been added.

"My father asked someone to vacate it overnight for Brother Luo." Cao Ang saw Liu Tong looking at the new furniture in surprise and said.

"General Zuo is so gifted, I deserve it." In Liu Tong's heart, a house should be worth a lot of money, if it is in the future life, my parents will work hard all their lives, and they can't afford to buy such a "villa"! Not to mention the fact that so many good furniture and five servants were sent.

"Brother Luo has made great contributions repeatedly, my father said, you have just joined the army, it is not appropriate to continue to be promoted, after you are familiar with military affairs, once you make meritorious service, no matter how big or small the military merit is, you will be promoted!"

Liu Tong was happy in his heart, it was indeed right to follow Cao Cao! But Liu Tong couldn't figure it out, didn't he just reward himself yesterday, why did he just add a reward after one night?

"Brother Cao, the so-called merit is not rewarded, yesterday was rewarded, the younger brother was already sincerely afraid, and today he got a generous gift, and the younger brother felt uneasy."

"Hahaha, why should Brother Luo be humble, last night there was Mr. Pu Yuan first offered a knife, and then there was a recommendation from Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, if it weren't for Brother Luo's weak crown, Brother Luo might have already paid homage to the general at this time!"

When Liu Tong heard this, his heart warmed, it seems that Cao Cao really attaches importance to himself and talents, it is not difficult to predict that as long as he follows Cao Cao, as he grows older, it will be a matter of time before he becomes a general. I have the knowledge of future generations, assist wholeheartedly, and continue to make contributions, in this era, I will definitely be able to make a difference, and I no longer have to worry about the life and future of myself and the red carp!

"Brother Cao is overrated. General Zuo's great grace, I have a fate to thank you in person! Liu Tongyi is indeed very grateful to Cao Cao for his reward, and more importantly, he wants to see this big bull with his own eyes, and Liu Tong is very much looking forward to it.

Cao Ang saw Liu Tong's excited expression of expectation, and said embarrassedly: "I wanted to take Brother Luo to see my father, but early in the morning, my father took Cheng Yu, Lord Xu Chu, and the two uncles Yuan Rang and Zixiao to Longzhong. ”

When Liu Tong heard this, Cao Cao was really thirsty for talent, he just learned the information of Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong last night, and set off early in the morning. In this way, I haven't seen Cao Cao recently, and I'm a little lost.

After Cao Ang helped Liu Tong settle down, he told Liu Tong to rest for a few days and then go to the barracks. Cao Hong also considered that Liu Tong had just arrived and had just settled into a new home, so he was not in a hurry to let him go to the barracks to report.

Liu Tong didn't expect to live a life with a house, a servant, and a job so soon, and the future is still very bright, and these days are very comfortable. The red carp was a little uncomfortable, Liu Tong didn't let her do housework, and she panicked all day long. Fortunately, Cao Xian and Cao Jie came to visit her on the third day.

The red carp has almost no friends, and the young lady of the Cao family is noble, and the red carp can get the two of them to interact, and they are very happy, and the reception is very courteous, and they tell them stories when they are free.

Cao Jie especially likes this story about monkeys, the red carp is not good at expression, the story is told jerky, Cao Jie came to the backyard to find Liu Tong, who was practicing martial arts, pestered him, and asked him to tell it.

Liu Tong had no choice but to tell the story to the three of them from the beginning. After a period of time, the sisters Cao Xian and Cao Jie came over when they were free, and Liu Tong is now serving under their father, and they also pay attention to proportion.

The days that followed were very peaceful, I don't know if Cao Hong got Cao Cao's instructions, except for the beginning of inviting Liu Tong and Hongli to his house for a meal, he almost didn't see anyone else, and he didn't ask Liu Tong to go to the barracks to report.

Liu Tong longed for the military camp, but he didn't take the initiative to bring it up, so he continued to live a leisurely life. Except for occasionally taking red carp to go shopping, he basically stays at home to practice martial arts. Because he was not familiar with the martial arts on his body, Liu Tong stepped up his speculation and practice, and slowly became more proficient, or "recovered" a lot.

After more than ten days of such a day, I began to think about the problem of leading troops when I had time, and now I am a soldier, and there will be about 200 people under my command, will I use the set of disciplined military training methods in later generations? But apart from a little bit of understanding through TV dramas, movies, and bits and pieces that people talk about, I really don't know much about those things in the barracks. As long as the general is enough, Liu Tong began to write the method of training on paper.

On this day, Pu Yuan sent Dawu to invite him to the workshop, saying that after this period of experiments, he had trained steel by frying steel, and asked Liu Tong to inspect the quality.

Liu Tong came to the workshop and saw piles of scrap iron piled up in the corner, which were thousands of catties. Dawu glanced at Liu Tong's eyes, touched his head, and said embarrassedly: "Because the temperature of the charcoal fire, the mixing method and the time and other issues were not mastered well, it cost two or three pots of molten iron every day a few days ago. ”

"If it's successful, it's a very small cost."

"The military candidate is right!" Pu Yuan came in from the backyard and greeted him with a smile. Behind him, the two disciples were holding a whole piece of steel. The two put things on the ground, and Liu Tong took two steps forward, thinking that this must be the steel that Dawu said had just been smelted, the color was similar to the iron seen in later generations, and one piece was brighter, but not as white and bright as stainless steel.

"It's all freshly smelted steel?" Liu Tong nodded with satisfaction and asked.

"One piece is steel, one is pig iron, and this is freshly smelted steel." Pu Yuan was a little surprised that Liu Tong couldn't distinguish the steel, and pointed to a piece of light.

"Oh, yes." Liu Tong didn't care, he hadn't seen the steel or iron that had just been produced before.

At this time, Dawu took a steel knife and handed it to Liu Tong, "Please try it." ”

Liu Tong didn't know why, turned his head and asked Dawu: "How to try?" ”

"Junhou, this is a hundred steel knives, if you want to try a good knife or good steel, this method is the most direct." Pu Yuan said and raised his hand to slash into the air.

Liu Tong shook his head, thinking, his head is in water, holding a steel knife to cut the steel block?

Pu Yuan originally wanted Liu Tong to try the steel made by his method by himself, which was also a sign of respect for him, but seeing that Liu Tong was unwilling to try, he signaled Dawu to come.

Dawu was originally tall and muscular, and he followed Pu Yuan to practice martial arts and strike iron all the year round, and he was very powerful. I saw him holding the knife in both hands, and the steel knife cloak fell, and a knife was cut on the iron, and when he lifted the knife, the steel knife was unharmed, and the iron left a deep knife mark.

Liu Tong looked at the iron and thought to himself that if he used a kitchen knife to cut the iron in the future, wouldn't it be rolled early? The iron of this era is too tofu.

Dawu's hands were in pain, he rested slightly, and shouted again, slashing at the steel block, only to see sparks flashing, and with a bang, the steel knife body broke, leaving a hair-deep fine mark on the steel block, Dawu's hands cracked, and blood flowed out.

A junior brother who had already prepared by him came over to help him bandage it.

"Luo Junhou, this is good steel?"

Liu Tong didn't know the quality of steel, and when he saw that this piece was indeed much harder than the previous one, he agreed, "Mr. Pu is really talented, and he actually made such a good steel!" ”

"How dare Pu be greedy for the merits of the sky, thank you for the secret technique!" As he spoke, he straightened his sleeves, clasped his hands into fists, bent down to bow to Liu Tong, and all the disciples also followed Pu Yuan to salute.

Seeing this situation, Liu Tong hurriedly returned the salute.

That night, Liu Tong was left by Pu Yuan to drink, and outside of Pu Yuan, most of them were rude men and drank a lot of wine. Liu Tong woke up the next day, he didn't know how he went home, and he couldn't remember the situation at the banquet, but he seemed to remember that Dawu begged him not to pass on this steel-making technique to others through the strength of wine, as if it was his master Pu Yuan who begged him, and said that there would be a good reward in the future.

When Liu Tong got up, he thought of this, and couldn't help but shake his head, this Pu Yuan wants a technology monopoly, no wonder the ancient technology is developing slowly, and the first thing that comes to mind when there is any new technology is to hide the smuggling.

Liu Tong has nothing to think about, after all, he follows Cao Cao, and Pu Yuan masters Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao has the advantage in weapons in the competition with other princes, which is also a good thing for himself.

At this time, we still have to talk about the camp, consider our own camp, even if Pu Yuan and Dawu are a little selfish, they can accept it. Anyway, there is no intellectual property right in this era, and I am not an ironworker, and I cannot bring wealth to myself by mastering steelmaking technology.

Liu Tong firmly believes that he is on the path of officialdom, and the idea of using gold fingers to make a fortune has never thought of it and does not disdain to do so.
