As soon as Li Shizhen said it, Liu Mang immediately thought of someone!

"Divine Doctor Hua Tuo?!"

"That's it! Hua Yuanhua is proficient in surgery and must have a good prescription. ”

Find it now!

Li Shizhen and Hua Tuo are both famous doctors in the world and can be regarded as acquaintances. Hua Tuo's family lived in Peiguo County, Yuzhou (now Bozhou, Anhui), and practiced medicine in Qingxu, Yanyu and Henan Prefectures in the central and eastern parts of the Central Plains.

Liu Mang immediately sent people to the Central Plains states to inquire about Hua Tuo's whereabouts. Liu Mang also specially instructed that most characters like Hua Tuo have strange tempers, and try to be as good as possible. If you really don't move, then you don't have to be polite, and you have to tie it up! It's a big deal, I'll apologize after I tie it up.

The transportation is inconvenient, Hua Tuo's whereabouts are uncertain, even if everything goes well, it will take a month or two to find him and ask him back.

……

There are arrangements for major military and political affairs, and all the people under him are outstanding and capable, each performing his own duties, Liu Mang is absolutely assured.

Hua Tuo won't be able to come for a while, and it will take a while for Wu Yong to come back.

Liu Mang discussed with the eldest grandson Wuji and decided to use this time to go to Zhaoyuze to have a look.

Zhaoyuze is located at the southern end of Taiyuan County, is the richest area of Taiyuan County, Taiyuan County Cha 15 counties, half of which eight counties are located around Zhaoyuze.

In order to expel the party Zhang Yang, Zhao Yuze was surrounded by war. Now that Taiyuan is settled, Liu Mang wants to go there to have a look. Take a look at the customs, look at the situation in the counties of Zhaoyu Eight Counties, and comfort the people of Qi County, who have suffered the greatest losses, and of course, also condolences to Qiao Zhiyong.

The eldest grandson Wuji fully agrees, the head of a county, it is very necessary to inspect the jurisdiction and observe the people's feelings. "When is Taishou going to make the trip?"

"When the iron sample is delivered, we will set off."

A few days ago, news came from the people that it would take a long time for the ironmaking workshop to be completed. At the same time as the construction of the workshop, Qi Wuhuaiwen conducted trials in a small furnace to study the composition of the ore in preparation for large-scale iron smelting in the future.

In the letter, the man said that in the next few days, the latest iron samples will be sent, and Liu Mang is looking forward to it.

"It is possible to use these few days to prepare for Zhao Yuze's trip. Who is travelling? ”

The entourage, Liu Mang had a plan. "Jinyang was initially decided, there were too many affairs, so Mr. Auxiliary Machinery would sit in Jinyang. Mr. Berwyn has been working too hard lately and let him stay in Jinyang to rest. ”

"Good. And what about the rest of the entourage? ”

"Hongzhang and Mr. Chang Geng (Song Yingxing) accompanied him to study the farming of Xia Zhao Yuze. Man Gui accompanied us, and we stopped by to see the grassland near Zhaoyuze. ”

"Well, if a pasture can be opened up near Zhaoyuze, one south and one north of Yanmen Ranch, you can transfer grazing."

War horses are scarce in Liu Mang's army, and there are no military horses in the breeding now, but if you want to dominate the world, you must take precautions and establish your own military horse garden.

"For the others, Youtian and Shubao will accompany you, and the rest of you won't have to. Oh, by the way, let Shi Qian follow, he has been at home for a long time, maybe something will cause trouble. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, hesitated, and said, "Taishou, when you go out for a long journey, you should bring a close slave and maid and serve at any time." ”

Liu Mang really wanted to take the attacker with him, but the attacker was pregnant, and it was really inconvenient.

Liu Mang waved his hand: "It's too inconvenient, forget it." We rode horses, without a frame, go and go back quickly, and when Mr. Jia Liang came back from Chang'an, we had to arrange things in Hedong. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled slightly and didn't say anything.

Liu Mang continued: "Taiyuan is stable, and we finally have a stable home. It's time to bring in the families of the chiefs and generals. In particular, the families of the generals stationed abroad should be brought in as soon as possible and properly resettled. Mr. Auxiliary Machine asked more about specific things and let Xiao Yi do it. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji wrote them down one by one.

As soon as Liu Mang left, Li Hongzhang came to find the eldest grandson Wuji.

"Mr. Auxiliary Machine, what about it?"

The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head and said with a smile: "It's still not appropriate for us to mention this matter, it's better to let Mulan and them come forward." ”

……

The sample iron was sent, and it was Hua Rong who personally brought it to Jinyang.

Hua Rong has been stationed in the people for a long time, and he has never had time to see his father. Fan Zhongyan discussed with Yang Yanzhao and took advantage of the opportunity to send a sample iron to let him go back to Jinyang to see his father and sister Mulan.

Qi Wuhuaiwen is really powerful, in such a short time, he has succeeded in the trial, and he is worthy of the master of smelting.

The eldest grandson Wuji looked at the sample iron over and over again, and his excitement was beyond words.

Liu Mang was also very happy. "I'll take the iron sample to Qi County, let Brother Qiao's caravan take it away, let the merchants from all over the country take a look, and first do propaganda for our Yanmen pig iron, this iron will be the capital for us to eat and raise soldiers in the future."

Li Hongzhang played with a knife.

This knife was also brought back by Hua Rong, and it was made by Qi Wuhuaiwen with sample iron. The style is simple, the edge does not have the usual luster of sharp blades, and it is slightly thick, which is inconspicuous to look at. Moreover, there is a small gap in the front blade.

Li Hongzhang pointed to the gap and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Hua Rong said: "This is cut by Master Qi Wu, with a war knife commonly used in the army." As he spoke, Hua Rong took out two cutting knives from his package.

"So sharp?!"

Everyone gathered around, and they couldn't believe that such an inconspicuous knife could break the sword.

Hua Rong said proudly: "Master Qi Wu said that this is just a trial knife, not yet that, that, oh, yes, not yet 'filled with steel'." After large-scale smelting, the steel filling method is used to make sharp blades and cut ordinary swords, and there will never be a gap! ”

Liu Mang and the others looked at each other, their eyes full of anticipation.

In the era of cold weapons, especially in this era, when bronze weapons have not been completely replaced by iron weapons, with advanced smelting technology, the mass production of sharp iron weapons is no less significant than the replacement of millet plus rifles by aircraft cannons.

……

After handling official business, Liu Mang walked out of the mansion, and Hua Mulan Xing hurriedly greeted him.

Hua Mulan grabbed Liu Mang's arm and shook it. "Brother Taishou," Hua Mulan gave Liu Mang a new name at the right time, "Let's go, go to Tongfuyi for dinner." ”

Regardless of whether Liu Mang agreed or not, Hua Mulan sent the guards who followed Liu Mang away, and took Liu Mang to Tongfuyi.

"Why are you eating?" Liu Mang asked as he walked.

"Give my brother the wind."

"Oh, then it's time for me to have a treat." Liu Mang asked for debts from himself again.

"Come on! Just you? Hua Mulan looked very disdainful, "Brother Taishou, it's not me talking about you, you spend too much money." You don't want to think about it, after spending all the money in the house, what do the old lady and the attacking sister eat? What do you eat as a family? I'm in for a treat today. ”

"Hey, hey." Liu Mang scratched his head, "Is this appropriate?" ”

Mulan gave him a blank look. "You, you don't know how to take care of your own house, you should always find someone to take care of it for you!"

The two talked and came to Tongfuyi.

Hua Rong and Yan Qing had already stood at the door, leading Liu Mang to a big room in the backyard.

Tong Xiangyu came out when she heard the voice, and let her go into the house with a smile: "Sister Hua's ability is great, Sister Hua is out of the horse, and Liu Taishou will come."

As soon as he entered the house, Liu Mang was surprised: "Huh? How did you get her too? ”
