However, he said that when Liu Qi went to Guiyang, Huang Yueying came to the camp to ask for instructions, and he had to go with the army to conquer Guiyang.

Although Liu Qi didn't know Huang Yueying's true identity, he was reluctant to let such a top talent who was good at equipment manufacturing go to the front line to take risks, so he persuaded him: "Our army will soon conquer Linxiang, you are first in the lead in manufacturing siege equipment, and after you capture Guiyang, you will soon return to Yuxian, and about Qi Jiangxia Huang Zu and Yiyang Ganning will attack Linxiang." ”

Huang Yueying saw that what Liu Qi said was reasonable, so she reluctantly stayed.

But Huang Yueying did not relax after Liu Qi left, but urged the craftsmen of the Ordnance Division to step up the production of various siege equipment and ladder parts as usual, in just over a month, she has been confident that the ladder parts she produced are enough to assemble hundreds of ladders, in addition to collision cars, antlers, ballistas and other offensive and defensive equipment.

But just yesterday, Huang Yueying suddenly received Liu Qi's requisition order, so that she led all the members of the Ordnance Department to Leiyang immediately, although she didn't know what Liu Qi was going to do, but she knew that there would be something big, so she handed over the equipment and parts she caused to Huo Jun, and solemnly instructed him to guard carefully, and then led all the members of the Ordnance Department to Leiyang in the starry night under the command of hundreds of cavalry.

Because everyone was lightly armed and simple, there was no heavy grain and grass, so the march was very fast, and it only took two days to reach Leiyang.

Huang Yueying came to Leiyang County, informed Menzi of her name, and waited outside the door.

After a while, I saw Liu Qi and Pang Tong go out to greet them in person.

"Haha, General Huang, I really didn't expect you to arrive so soon, it's really hard work." Liu Qi laughed as he stepped forward, ready to hold Huang Yueying's hand.

Unexpectedly, Huang Yueying pretended not to see it, gave a salute to Liu Qi and Pang Tong, and then said to Pang Tong in surprise: "Shiyuan, why did you appear here?" Did you make this Leiyang county order? ”

Seeing Pang Tong, he nodded and smiled: "Thanks to the love of General Fenwu and Lord Taishou, I appointed Tong as the commander of Leiyang County." This is not the place to speak, General Huang, please go to the county office to speak. ”

Pang Tong's three words "General Huang" bit very hard, and looked at Huang Yueying with a smile.

Huang Yueying naturally heard the mockery in Pang Tong's words, but it was not easy to attack in front of Liu Qi, so she had to glare at Pang Tongyi fiercely, and then silently followed Liu Qi and Pang Tong into the county office.

After the three of them sat down, Huang Yueying took the lead in speaking: "I don't know what is important for the general to transfer to Leiyang in the future?" ”

"Hehe, this time I came to find Mr. is indeed a big thing to entrust, the cause of this matter is that Shi Yuan discovered iron ore in Leiyang, and it is a particularly rich iron ore, according to preliminary estimates, this mine is enough to easily equip a 10,000-strong army."

"What? Such a huge iron ore was discovered? Huang Yueying couldn't help but be overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "This is really good, so that the last general can use these iron mines to create an ironclad hero division for the general, why worry about Changsha at that time?" Hegemony fails? ”

Unexpectedly, Liu Qi shook his head and said: "I am going to use these iron ores to cast ploughs and hoes, so as to improve the agricultural development of my Jingnan counties and make these four counties a real land of fish and rice." ”

"What?" Huang Yueying was also like Sima Zhi and Pang Tong, looking at Liu Qi with an incredulous expression, feeling that the person in front of her was crazy? Finally, a large area of iron ore was discovered, and it was not kept for military use, but was used for the development of agriculture.

But he saw Pang Tong sighing with respect on his face: "How do you know the ambition of the bird? The general's broad-mindedness and long-term vision are really admirable, General Huang, do you know the story of King Qin's repair of Zheng Guoqu? ”

Huang Yueying was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "It turns out that he is building a strong foundation for himself, I have to say, I admire his long-term vision." But what can be explained by being broad-minded? It's not your Pang County Order's boasting, right? ”

Pang Tong couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "You have been in the army for nearly half a year, why are you still speaking so straightforwardly?" Guarding the generals dare to talk such nonsense? Fortunately, the general did not blame you, otherwise even if you had ten lives, I am afraid you would be gone. Anyway, today Pang will explain to you, why praise the general's mind? Pang Mou heard that the general planned to give the newly cast plough hoe to the villagers for free, and the general also said that his intention to do this was not just to become a tyrant, but more to make the south of the Yangtze River, so that this place is called a paradise on earth that everyone yearns for. Now you should understand that Pang's words are not boasting, right? ”

"Oh? And so it was! Huang Yueying stopped talking, glanced at Liu Qi seriously, and felt more and more that this man was interesting, but she thought about it and said: "It's just a casting plough and hoe, so why do you have to summon my ordnance department to Leiyang?" You levy a folk blacksmith to cast, and there will be a need to do it. ”

But see Liu Qi Zhengse said: "What you are doing now, that is, the most important thing, you also know that today's plough is a long wheel, straight wheel, difficult to turn, ploughing is laborious, in the north can still be used, and for the southern paddy field is difficult to use, this will be after thinking, it is planned to transform the plough into a curved wheel, short wheel, and install a freely rotating plow plate at the head of the wheel, so that not only the plow frame becomes smaller and lighter, it is more convenient to turn around, not only to use more flexible and light, but also to save manpower and animal power. As a result, the agriculture of the four counties of Jingnan has been thriving. ”

After Liu Qi finished speaking, he took out a pair of cloth and drew the shape of a quyuan plough on it.

Although Huang Yueying was born in a big family, his father Huang Chengyan often ploughed in Longmu, so he still knew something about the plough at that time, but she saw that Liu Qi's sample actually included eleven parts, such as ploughshare, plow wall, plow bottom, press, forehead, plow arrow, plow wheel, plow tip, plow evaluation, plow construction and plow plate, etc., which eliminated the original plow balance, making the new plough appear short and flexible, and more suitable for the terrain characteristics of small farming area and frequent turns in the south of the Yangtze River, she couldn't help but admire.

"And what's the use of this plow review?" Huang Yueying pointed to the flat sloping wood in the middle of the picture and asked.

"This plough evaluation is mainly used to control the depth of the cultivated land, if you want to plough deeply, then press down the plough arrow, if you want to plough shallowly, then lift the plow arrow, and this plough is built to facilitate the control of the plough arrow activity and installed on the horizontal wood, in fact, we have the plough review mainly because we are not familiar with the new plough, so we come to fix the depth, if you are familiar, you can do without the plow review, only rely on the plow tip can control the depth freely, because we lift the plow tip, that is, shallow ploughing, down the plow tip, is deep ploughing, and the plow review is not needed, Ploughs and arrows are not needed, of course, if there are some steep and uneven terrain, such as mountains, plow reviews are still useful. ”

Liu Qi gestured with his hands and pointed to the drawings and said, although this Quyuan plough was learned in history books, but he had also seen it when he was a teenager in his hometown with his father in the mountain village, so he was very familiar with it, so he explained it very thoroughly.

At this moment, a faint fragrance suddenly came into Liu Qi's nose, which made him feel very intoxicated, but it also made him feel strange in his heart, and he couldn't help but secretly think: "Why have I never smelled this fragrance when I was with Mr. Shiyuan and Mr. Yuanzhi?" And men have a scent on them, don't you think it's strange? Although there is incense in this era, the fragrance is obviously different. This Huang Shuo is really a strange man, is he really a pseudo-girl? ”

Thinking of this, Liu Qi couldn't help but feel a chill again.

saw Huang Yueying clapping her hands and exclaiming: "Sure enough, the knowledge is extraordinary, it's really hard to imagine, how did your genius brain grow?" I can even come up with such a strange thing. Hehe, if this plough is produced, it will definitely be able to make Jingnan a thousand miles of fertile fields, I just thought about it carefully, this plough can be made of wood in addition to the ploughshare, plough wall and pressing the plough, so that the iron mine where Leiyang is located can cast tens of thousands of such advanced ploughs. But what's the name of this plow? Please also tell the general. ”

Liu Qi thought about it and said: "Because this plow is a Quyuan, it is called a Quyuan plow." ”

Huang Yueying thought about it and said, "Quyuan plow!" Sure enough, according to the last general, this plow is not only made by the general, but also to improve my Jingnan agriculture, you might as well take another name, it is for Jingzhou plow, how? ”

Unexpectedly, Pang Tong sneered: "Fang Cairu also ridiculed Pang for touting the general, but I didn't expect that within a moment, your famous Xiangyang Huang Shuo actually learned to slap the horse, cough cough, people's hearts are not ancient." ”

Huang Yueying said loudly: "Ben Xiao...... When will Ben slip away? Ben Jiang is just explaining the facts, unlike some people, who have just stayed in officialdom for a few days, and they have learned to play official tones and speak official language, which is disgusting without yin or yang. ”

"You, you ......" Pang Tong was sarcastically ridiculed by Huang Yueying, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak, so he had to smile bitterly, stopped his mouth with interest, and said secretly in his heart: "If you don't want to expose your identity, see how this official refutes you?" ”

At this moment, Liu Qi suddenly said, "Where is Huang Shuo?" ”

Huang Yueying hurriedly bowed and said respectfully: "The last general." ”

Liu Qi nodded, and said loudly: "I will worship you as the captain of Si Jin, the commander of the military weapons department, responsible for building military weapons and agricultural tools, you are allowed to recruit hundreds of folk blacksmiths, from now until the time of spring ploughing, build 10,000 pairs of Jingzhou plows, and distribute them to 2,000 pairs of Wuling County, 3,000 pairs of Guiyang County, and 5,000 pairs of Lingling County. ”

"No, the last general will take the order." Huang Yueying straightened her chest and said loudly.

Liu Qi then wrote a letter of appointment, handed it to Huang Yueying, and put Pang Tong in charge of recruiting hundreds of blacksmiths in Guiyang to cooperate with Huang Yueying in casting Jingzhou plows.

After Huang Yueying received the order, she immediately rushed to the Leiyang Iron Mine, and when she saw the mountain of iron ore, she was faintly excited in her heart, and said secretly: "I, Huang Yueying, have also done a major thing that is beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood now, hum, who said that women are inferior to men?" Of course, this does not include Liu Qi's man who only arrived at ** that day. ”
