Luo Shixin looks like a tiger, although he is only eleven years old, he is already about the same size as Jiang Fei, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wide and powerful palms, and at first glance he is the embryo of a fierce general. There was a battle with Tianqi just now, and he looked obviously tired, Jiang Fei knocked on Luo Shixin's head and said, "I entered the city before yesterday, and your master specially bought a roast leg of lamb for you to gnaw, what is it called." ”

Luo Shixin glanced at Yang Chong and said with a smile: "I want to ask Master, when will you start to help me fight that iron gun." ”

Yang Chong knew about this, Miao Yun was in vain, and promised Luo Shixin to ask Yang Chong for help and specialize in playing an iron gun; Yang Chong pointed at Shan Xiongxin and said, "This is my eldest brother's eldest brother, you talk to him well, let him help you design a gun shape, and leave the rest to me." However, when I got the gun from me, you have to bring Pang Huan's consent letter to prove that you have met my requirements for studying. ”

"Ahh Luo Shixin scratched his head and said, "Isn't it just memorizing the "Art of War" and the eleven articles on defending the city? No problem. ”

"The Art of War" was exchanged by Yang Chong with a drawing of a giant crossbow and Zhang Bojian, and the eleven articles of Mozi Guarding the City were found by Kong Yingda for Yang Chong, namely "Preparing the City Gate", "Preparing the Moth Fu", "Preparing the Ladder", "Preparing the Burst", "Banner", "Miscellaneous Guard", "Preparing Gaolin", "Welcoming the Enemy Temple", "Preparing Water", "Preparing the Cave", and "Order". Yang Chong knew that he did not have the ability of the famous general Zhang Xutuo, so he could only hope that Luo Shixin would read more military books and change history against Liu Heimin in the future.

Yang Chong saw Yang Long in the crowd, shouted to the side and said about the cold forging armor, Yang Chong said after speaking: "The material should be made of iron from the Western Regions, forged into thin sheets, and the hardness of the steel should not be used, and it should not be quenched." After the wrought iron is fired and the fever is reduced, it is directly forged with a cold hammer and the teeth are opened with a file, which is reduced by two-thirds compared with the original thickness. Leave a piece the size of a chopstick head at the end of wrought iron without forging, and use it to verify the thickness of the iron sheet when it is not forged. ”

What Yang Chong is talking about is actually the Song Dynasty's Western Xia's Qizi Armor, which the generals of the Song Dynasty once experimented with, at a distance of fifty steps from the iron armor, they used a strong crossbow to shoot it, but they couldn't shoot into it; An arrow had pierced through the armor, and it had been shot through the small hole in the belt through which it had been pierced, and the arrow had been drilled and scraped, and the iron was rolled up. Because a piece of iron that is not forged is faintly like a warts on the skin, this kind of nail is called "scarlet armor" by the folk.

According to the views of later generations, the Northern Song Dynasty had the appearance of a squirrel, but he knew the method but couldn't make it, and the problem was in the material, so Yang Chong asked that iron must be used. Although the Great Sui controlled the flow of iron among the people, through the iron factory of the Zhuge family and the workshop of Yuwenhu, Meng Kunpeng still got a lot of iron, according to Yang Chong's estimate, enough to make ten pairs of helmets and armor. When Yang Long heard this, he immediately went to gather all the blacksmiths and prepared to start forging in shifts.

The crowd dispersed, and Jiang Duo brought Shan Xiongxin and Liu Hongji to Yang Chong. Shan Xiongxin has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his speech and demeanor have a faint sense of bearing, and his demeanor is confident and calm; Liu Hongji has a straight nose and a wide forehead, a rough face, and sparkling eyes, giving people a sense of stability and resourcefulness. The two have a wide range of friends and have seen a lot of things, and they don't believe that Yang Chong just came to them for their own safety, so as soon as they met, Shan Xiongxin asked Yang Chong: "What do you want a certain family to do?" ”

Shan Xiongxin and Jiang Duo fought each other, defeated in thirty moves, and later married Liu Hongji and Jiang Long, and became the eldest brother according to age; Shan Xiongxin learned that Jiang Long's martial arts under Yang Chong were only ranked fourth or fifth, and he didn't believe it at first, but after watching two competitions today, he knew that what Jiang Duo said was true, Wei Chigong's kung fu was on par with Jiang Duo, and Tianqi and Luo Shixin were not under Shan Xiongxin. Shan Xiongxin is sure that Yang Chong does not value his martial arts, but needs to do something by himself; Yang Chong thought for a while and said, "Brother Shan, have you heard the story of the three caves of the cunning rabbit?" ”

During the Warring States Period, the situation changed, and Feng Tan said to Meng Weijun: "The cunning rabbit has three holes in order to avoid death." So Feng Tan made a plan and did three major things for Meng Yanjun, burning bonds, lobbying King Wei Hui, and persuading Meng Yanjun to take in the disciples who had betrayed, consolidating Meng Yanjun's position in one fell swoop.

Shan Xiongxin is a person who has read the book, knowing this allusion, his eyes obviously lit up, and he immediately asked, "What three caves are Brother Yang preparing for?" ”

Yang Chong said unhurriedly: "As an official, a businessman, and a Mo family, but I come from a poor family, and now I need a lot of help from high-ranking people, so please come and help." ”

Yang Chong said it simply, but each of the three things is unpredictable; Shan Xiongxin is a little strong in Caozhou, rampant in the township, the most important thing is courage, and said boldly: "I am Jiang Duo's eldest brother, you are his brother-in-law, we are a family, since you are here, what you say is what you say." Even if it's murder and arson, I won't frown. ”

Liu Hongji is now so poor that he has no way out, seeing that Yang Chong is still running a school, thinking that Yang Chong is just offending the Pei family and the Chijin Turks, and all measures are just to prevent trouble, and then said: "Brother Yang, I have the same attitude as Brother Shan, and everything is up to you." ”

Yang Chongyan said with a smile: "Then I will arrange it, you will live in the other courtyard first, and if you have time, you will go to the horse farm under the mountain to yoke the horses and enter Chang'an City to play." I have discussed with Jiang Fei, the eldest brother will be in charge of the Shannan Courtyard in the future, Brother Shan, you are interested in my business, and you are welcome to make money together at any time; Second Brother Liu is the son of an official eunuch, and I will ask you for help when I have something; Now that there is more business, I am ready to set up a separate quality bank, which will be specially taken care of by Yang Lei and Wu Duan'er. ”

Yang Chong simply arranged for people to reopen the land by the mountains and rivers, and changed the marking of the fields in Chang'an County, and changed the seabuckthorn land into a horse farm. One of the functions of the horse farm is for the caravan to graze the horses and camels, and the other is to train the dozens of children in the family to ride and shoot, Yang Chong's idea is to make full use of all resources and train the family as much as possible.

Shan Xiongxin and Liu Hongji went to the racecourse before going up the mountain, and they had a bottom in their hearts when they heard it, and Yang Chong's consideration was very thoughtful, almost tailor-made. Yang Lei was also reassured, Jiang Duo is Yang Chong's brother-in-law, and he is good at kung fu, Yang Lei himself is just a slave of Yang Chong, so he was ready to be replaced early, but he didn't expect Yang Chong to let him be in charge of the quality warehouse, which is the foundation of all Yang Chong's business, which shows that Yang Chong still values him as an old man. Sikong Xing came over and asked another thing: "Family owner, if Procter & Gamble is sold to Louguan, what will Kunpeng do?" ”
