Chapter Eighty-Six: Recruiting Wei Yan

Zhuge Liang said movingly: "Brother Chongru, please speak." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Yong said sincerely: "Brother Kong Ming and I hit it off at first sight, and we are willing to become friends with Jinlan, I don't know if I can appreciate my face." ”

Zhuge Liang smiled: "I also have this intention. The two looked at each other and laughed, and under the witness of Huang Yueying, they burned incense and swore an oath to worship as brothers.

On this day, Liu Yong did not go back, but talked with Zhuge Liang and his wife at night, first, he didn't have much time to stay in Xiangyang, and he wanted to talk to them more, and secondly, the next day Zhuge Liang made an appointment with Xu Shu, Pang Tong and others, these two geniuses in the world must be seen.

In the evening, the focus of the trio's conversation changed to invention. Huang Yueying's mechanical manufacturing technology and thinking made Liu Yong surprised, not only the previous wooden dog, but also the wooden man who can shake a fan, etc., although due to the power, the action can only last for a short time, but these are enough to make Liu Yong, a person from modern society, ashamed of himself.

"The wooden dogs and wooden people made by Sister Yueying are certainly fun, but they are not very useful. I don't know much about mechanics, so if only the girl could build something that would play an important role in life or war. ”

"Oh!" Huang Yueying's face was excited, she likes to invent, but today's society doesn't care about these, not to mention that she is still a woman, so she can only play at home. But Liu Yong is different, this is a person who attaches great importance to invention and creation, and a person who respects and appreciates women. Moreover, Liu Yong's mind is full of many seemingly fantastical and unbelievable ideas, but there are traces to follow when they say it, which can be of great use. Huang Yueying asked happily: "Brother Liu must already have a plan in his heart, tell my sister about it." ”

"Hmm." Liu Yong really had an idea, and pointed to the more leaky in the corner as he spoke, saying: "For example, the method of keeping time is neither convenient nor accurate. ”

Huang Yueying was immediately full of interest and said with a smile: "Could it be that Brother Liu has any good ideas?" ”

"I think I can make a pendulum clock."

"Pendulum clock?" Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang asked at the same time.

"Hmm. I've seen a diagram once, and there are some introductions, and it should work. Wait a minute. Liu Yong's eyes swept around, took the heavy hammer that Huang Yueying used to hang the wire when she was doing carpentry on weekdays, and said with a smile: "Take a look." ”

As he spoke, Liu Yong held the top of the rope in his left hand, grabbed the hammer with his right hand, pulled it at a certain angle, and then as soon as he put it, the hammer swung back and forth. Liu Yong smiled and asked, "Have you husband and wife seen anything?" ”

The two observed carefully for a while, glanced at each other, and Zhuge Liang asked cautiously, "Is it the same height that swings back and forth?" ”

Liu Yong nodded with a smile, and said: "The height and frequency of the back and forth are the same, which is called the isochronism of the single pendulum, and it is also the basis for making a pendulum clock." ”

"But ......" Huang Yueying asked: "Little sister guessed well, this pendulum seems to be at the same height every time now, but if it goes on for a long time, it will definitely stop." ”

Liu Yong nodded and said with a smile: "Sister Yueying has looked carefully, it is indeed so. Therefore, it is necessary to add a clockwork to the pendulum clock. ”

Liu Yong picked up the pen, drew it on the paper again, and said while drawing: "This is called a coil spring, which is somewhat similar to a spring, but it is densely rolled into a circle, and the power can be released slowly and little by little, so that the swing of the pendulum is consistent." When the force of the coil spring is gone, it needs to be tightened again. ”

Huang Yueying thought for a while, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said happily: "Little sister thinks that the idea of the eldest brother is feasible. ”

"It's good that the girl thinks it's feasible." Liu Yong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he was just a half-ass, and he only made suggestions and was not responsible for implementation.

Zhuge Liang still had some questions, and said, "Then how to time it?" ”

"It's easy." Liu Yong began to draw again, "The clock face is a circle, which is divided into 12 large grids, and each large grid is divided into 5 small grids. Then make 2 hands, one long and one short, each square of the short hand is half an hour, also known as 1 hour, and a circle is 12 hours; Each square walk of the long needle is called 1 minute, and one hour of walking one circle......"

Huang Yueying and Zhuge Liang worked hard to digest Liu Yong's thoughts, and Zhuge Liang said worriedly: "So, while the long needle walks in a circle, the short needle can only go up one square, is this easy?" The latter sentence was asked to Huang Yueying.

Huang Yueying thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's not difficult to do." All you need to do is set the size ratio of the gears. ”

Liu Yong secretly praised in his heart, it was really worry-free to meet this ancient inventor.

"Where did Brother Liu get all these wonderful ideas?" Huang Yueying sighed for a while, and then asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Sister, let's build this pendulum clock first." Liu Yong smiled lightly, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhuge Liang pondering beside him. Liu Yong knew that Zhuge Liang didn't believe that he got the Book of Heaven, so he wouldn't believe it. What is valuable is that others are very curious about this, but Zhuge Liang didn't mention half a word, he must know that he has a bitterness that he doesn't want to say, so Liu Yong is even more grateful and admired Zhuge Liang.

On the second day, Sima Hui, Pang Degong, Cui Zhouping and others were really invited, these are all famous Confucians in Jingzhou and Xiangyang, especially Xu Shu and Pang Tong, both of whom are as famous as Zhuge Liang, and also have profound knowledge, superhuman insights, keen judgment of the current situation and unique strategies for governing the country and using troops. Liu Yong was overjoyed, and under the introduction of Zhuge Liang, he bowed his hands one by one.

At that time, today's Liu Yong was no longer Wuxia Ameng, the staff general in front of Cao Cao's tent had already been famous, but he still maintained his usual easy-going, respectful, and courteous, so these usually arrogant talents also had a good impression of him. This group of people are all knowledgeable, and their common hobbies are similar, so they first talk about astronomy, geography, yin and yang, and then talk about the general trend of the world in their hearts, evaluate the heroes of the world, and discuss the way of governing the country and using troops. Liu Yong is the most outstanding, he doesn't speak much, but his views are novel and unique, and he hits the nail on the head, which makes Pang Tong, Xu Shu and others also admire.

Because of the fear of Zhang Zhongjing's prescription, although the two sides were still a little unsatisfied, Liu Yong had to say goodbye to everyone and reluctantly returned to Xiangyang. When I returned to the inn, I saw Zhou Cang still gesturing in the open space in the backyard, his eyebrows fluttering, and his face was happy. Liu Yong asked with a smile: "It seems that Brother Zhou is in a very good mood." ”

Zhou Cangxi smiled and said: "I'm too addicted, I haven't fought like this for a long time." ”

"Brother Zhou returned victorious?"

Zhou Cang scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "His grandmother's." In a hundred moves, I also attacked more and blocked less, and then later, the two of them had the upper hand. ”

"Brother Zhou admits defeat?"

"Phew!" Zhou Cang spat on the ground and said, "Old Zhou, if you are that kind of person, you will fight again tomorrow." ”

Liu Yong smiled secretly and said in his heart: "It turns out that you are not going to the martial arts competition, you are here for fun." Then he asked, "Is there any news from Director Gao?" ”

Zhou Cang patted his head and shouted, "I almost forgot." As he spoke, he took out a note from his bosom, but it was already soaked with sweat. Why is this happening......" Zhou Cang was startled and regretted it.

Liu Yongyi frowned, took it carefully, and said to Zhou Cang, "Bring me a clean white paper." Then pour half a bowl of water, put the paper slip in, take a bamboo skewer, slowly pick up the paper, wait for the paper to fully unfold, then hold up the wet paper, and gently put it on a clean dry paper.

Zhou Cang asked worriedly: "Brother, I didn't make a mistake." I also know that this Laoshi is important, so I carry it closely. I didn't expect that I forgot about ...... when I compared it."

Liu Yong saw that the handwriting on the note was quite clear, and there was a reason for it, so it was not easy to blame, so he said: "Forget it, Brother Zhou will have to know the priorities in the future." Zhou Cang nodded again and again.

"We have to leave early, Yuan Shu has left Shouchun, and something big is about to happen." Liu Yong read the content of the note clearly and said, "Brother Zhou, you go and talk to Director Gao, if you receive a doctor's order to send it back to Fuyi." Early tomorrow morning, we will visit Wei Yan together, and then leave for Fuyi and then go to Qiaojiazhuang. ”

"Good, good!" Zhou Cang smiled: "I haven't seen Sister Yun'er for a long time, I don't know if I've grown taller?" ”

Liu Yong thought of Dong Yun's worried and worried face, his heart ached, and the picture of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao being reluctant to say goodbye came to his mind, and he missed and apologized, and he couldn't wait to give birth to wings and fly to their side.

Wei Yan couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Zhou Cang, who had been fighting with him for a few days, leading a handsome boy to visit, and asked with his fists: "It's Wei Yan down there." Who is the son, and why did he come to Wei Yan? ”

Liu Yong saw that Wei Yan was tall, sturdy, and his face was like a heavy jujube, except that he had no beard, he looked like a young version of Guan Yu. Liu Yong replied: "Under Liu Yong, the word Chongru, is now a staff general under Prime Minister Cao Cheng's account. ”

"It turned out to be General Liu, and sure enough, there are no weak soldiers under the strong general." Wei Yan glanced at Zhou Cang and said, "General, please take a seat inside." ”

The two sat down separately, and a servant offered tea. Wei Yan asked, "I don't know why Gongzi came to find Wei Yan?" ”

Liu Yong smiled slightly and said: "Wen Chang is brave and fierce, his skills are outstanding, and he treats his soldiers as brothers, and everyone praises them. However, it is difficult to be appreciated by the officials, and it is a pity that he has not been promoted for several years. ”

Wei Yan sighed and replied: "I am born like this, I don't like to bribe officials, and Xiangyang has no soldiers, so it is difficult to make military achievements, so it is not reused. ”

Liu Yong said with a smile: "Brother Tai is willing to gallop on the battlefield with him, establish meritorious deeds, and not learn in vain." ”

Wei Yan was stunned and said, "Is the son letting him follow Cao Cao?" ”

Liu Yong knew that Wei Yan was not interested in Cao Cao, so he said, "Definitely." Liu Yong wants to wronged his brother to Fuyi. Fuyi's land military affairs, large and small, are all in charge of Brother Tai. ”

Wei Yan was even more stunned and replied, "The general is so important, Wei Yan can't afford it." ”

Liu Yong felt strange in his heart, didn't he just bring hundreds of people? What is not important? He replied: "Fuyi is only a small county, and with the talents of Brother Tai, it doesn't hurt to be a Taishou or a general." But at the moment, Liu Yong has no power but no power, so he has to do this, and I ask for the forgiveness of the editor. ”

"The general really doesn't know?" Wei Yan was puzzled for a while.

"Know what?" Liu Yong said inexplicably, "Liu Yong has been away from Fuyi for more than a year, is there something wrong?" ”

Wei Yan laughed and said, "No wonder." The general didn't know that Fuyi was no longer what he used to be. It is said that the city expanded more than ten times as much as it originally was, with a population of 300,000 or 400,000 and more than 50,000 soldiers. ”

"How did it change so quickly?" Liu Yong never expected it.

"The county magistrate Yu turned over the implementation of light Yao and light taxes, and encouraged the opening of mountains and fields, and the surrounding people did not like it when they heard it. Now the city has surpassed Jiangxia. ”

"I see." Liu Yong nodded, "That's okay." How about the chief still in charge of Fuyi's land military affairs? ”

"It's just that I heard that the magistrate of Fuyi County, Yu Xuan, didn't even obey the edict of the imperial court, how could he ...... How can you ......?"

Zhou Cang on the side couldn't help but interject: "The methods used by Yu Flip are all from my son, without my son, there will be no Fuyi today, as long as it is the meaning of my son, Yu Flip will not object." ”

Wei Yan was full of emotion and sighed: "I have been in charge of the government for many years, but I have not seen much effect, but in just over a year, there have been sudden earth-shaking changes, and I am as strong as this, it turns out that this is all the credit of the general." As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee in front of Liu Yong and arched his hand: "The general values Wei Yan so much, Wei Yan will be ruined and swear to serve the general." ”

Liu Yong hurriedly picked Wei Yan up and said with a smile: "Wen Chang's words are serious. He also explained: "Don't blame Wen Chang, I didn't hand over the Fuyi Naval Army to you, just because I had already left this position to another person first. (To be continued.) )
