Chapter Fifty-Eight: Zhending County

Last night, they explained to Xiong Da, Lao Qian, and Feng Wen about the military camp, the steel factory, and Mengxue, and specially asked He Banxian to go to see Hua Niang's condition in the next two days. So early in the morning, Han Wang took the long sword that Ou Fei had built overnight, and followed Steward Zhang and Ye Huan to Zhending.

Steward Zhang and Ye Huan both have carriages, and they also say that there are carriages for pick-up and drop-off. But Han Wang felt that his equestrian skills were too inferior, and he naturally refused to let go of one more opportunity to practice horseback riding, so the two carts and one horse rolled away.

Horseback riding during the day is still quite cool, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the seedlings are like green waves. Han Wang touched the scene, couldn't control it for a while, and sang with his voice, "The white clouds are floating in the blue sky, and the horses are running under the white clouds!" Whip the sound in all directions, a hundred birds fly together~"

"How can you sing so indiscriminately about good words, what a Beihu, and a teacher! Don't mislead people! The old man opened his mouth wide, and finally held back and didn't speak, and he was a young man who was careless and reckless.

"This Han Wang is really versatile, although the tune is not harmonious, but this northern minor tune is really good to sing!" Ye Huan is young and has a strong adaptability to accept new things, and he feels that this song is sung very smoothly, and he can't help but hum along in his heart.

The two coachmen and their subordinates covered their mouths and snickered, Mr. Han was really godlike and could sing such a strange song.

Yesterday, looking at the steel mill, the barracks, and Mengxue, and listening to the people in the village talk about how to defeat the murderous bandits, it was all the credit of Mr. Han, and I couldn't help but feel awe in my heart.

But this morning, he yelled so wildly, leaving his awe behind, and Han Wang suddenly became funny and cute.

In the process of these people praising and making fun of them, Han Wang was ruthless and presumptuous with the beautiful nature nine hundred years ago. Look at the distant mountains, look at the river, shake your head, and dance with your hands, stop for a while, and run wildly for a while, it can be called a wandering wreck.

People in this era will never be able to understand: what is so strange about this blue sky, white clouds, green mountains and green waters, why is Mr. Han so excited and crazy?

Han Wang didn't meet a few pedestrians along the way, but the county seat was closer, there were more talents, and the villages and roads were relatively dense, Han Wang suddenly remembered how many people were in this county? How many people are there in the whole thing? So casually accosted a few words with Steward Zhang, and kissed under the pretext.

Steward Zhang didn't want to report it to him, "There are more than 2,000 households in Zhending City, and more than 2,000 households in more than 40 villages under the jurisdiction of the county, totaling 4,500 households. ”

Han Wang roughly calculated that according to the calculation of a household of five, the true number of residents was about 20,000 to 25,000. According to the adult men between the ages of 15 and 40, there are no less than 8,000 men.

I only have a hundred soldiers at present, a little less, it is not a big problem to make four or five hundred, eight hundred and one thousand is the best!

Seeing that he was thinking about something, Steward Zhang asked, "Mr. Han, why do you ask about the number of accounts?" ”

Han Wang said casually, "There are too few soldiers, so you can fight with more recruits."

"Where are you going to fight?"

Han Wang suddenly woke up and hurriedly diverted the topic, "The kid is only afraid that Northern Liao will take the opportunity to make trouble, and if the first class comes here and harasses the territory, the Sixth Union Barracks is only afraid that they will be outnumbered and will suffer a big loss!" However, this is also a kid who is worried about the sky, with Lord Ding and Lord Song here, he will naturally strategize and win a thousand miles! Haha~"

As he spoke, he could already vaguely see a low house in front of him, as well as a high city wall.

When he got closer, Han Wang saw clearly that the city wall was seven or eight meters high, and except for the circle around the city gate, which was stacked with blue strips, the rest of the city wall was made of mud and directly exposed; Piece by piece, layer by layer, it is very distinct.

So he asked, "Shouldn't this wall be made of brick and stone?" ”

Steward Zhang glanced at him, "Masonry? Have you calculated, this city is five miles square, the entire city wall is twenty miles, the wall is three feet high, all made of stones, and the flowers are hundreds of thousands! In addition to the capital and important towns, no one will use bricks and stones to build the city wall, and there is a lot of real money! ”

Due to the leadership of Steward Zhang, the group naturally passed the customs smoothly and entered the city.

Sure enough, the scene in the city was much better, most of them were brick houses; Although it is about two meters tall, Han Wang always feels that the house is low when riding on a horse.

There are many shops along Chengmen Street, and at noon, the guys of snack bars, taverns, inns, tailor shops, cloth shops, and all kinds of shops go out to solicit customers, and there are many small traders and craftsmen who stick to the eaves and shout loudly, and those who are eloquent even make up small songs and sing them.

There are many novelties and customs on the shops and vendors, especially the antiques in the city, which make Han Wang want to stay and enjoy it.

But looking at Steward Zhang's hurried look, he had to suppress his mood and follow closely. Put your mind away, and then talk about it after you get down to business, people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes!

Soon came to the county office, Ye Huan was inconvenient to follow up, and he had to go back to his father to discuss, so he said goodbye to the two. Steward Zhang asked Han Wang to wait in the official room at the door, and went in by himself.

After a while, Ding Pei came to the lobby and sat down, Master Cao also came out with Steward Zhang to greet him, and Han Wang stepped forward to greet Master Cao and entered the lobby.

The lobby is quite clean and spacious, about 20 square meters, in addition to Ding Pei's official desk chair, there are two chairs on the left and right sides below. At this time, Master Cao and Steward Zhang were already standing on both sides of the official case according to their habits, waiting for Ding Pei's envoy at all times.

Han Wang stepped forward and bowed, "Student Han Wang has seen Lord Weng!" ”

Ding Peishi had already learned that Han Wangsheng was in charge of the important military situation, and he did not dare to despise it, so he immediately let Han Wangsheng sit without courtesy; Ordered the subordinates to send fruit tea, which is already a rare guest treatment.

Han Wang took the teacup, tasted it lightly, and was thoughtful for several weeks, silently dismissing his breath, in preparation for Ding Pei's inquiry.

Ding Pei nodded, he had a good impression of this magical Han Wang, although his short hair looked nondescript, but if he could dig gold from him, even if he was bald, he would feel pleasing to the eye.

coughed lightly, and asked, "Han Wang, this official has long heard that you have a unique education, led the villagers to fight against thieves, and created Mengxue, educated the children, and was ordered by Lord Song to set up the Sixth Union Barracks to ensure the safety of one party. ”

Han Wang stood up and saluted, "The student's tricks are really small skills of carving insects, and they should not be valued by adults, even if they are a little tricky, they are also led by adults." The county Weng is really the official of the parents, and the students are also the people of adults, Han Wang is young and frivolous, and less tempering, and I hope that the adults will not hesitate to teach, and mention more, the students should be inscribed in the five, only the adults are the first to look forward! ”

After speaking, he untied the burden he brought with him and presented the sword, "The student heard that the adult is proficient in swordsmanship, this sword is the sword casting master Ou Fei, made of the new steel from the steel mill, dare to invite the adult to taste!" ”

Ding Pei couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, this kid knows and knows, as long as he is willing to listen to my arrangement, everything will naturally be easy to do, it seems that Manager Zhang will still be able to do things, and turn around to plant a fat shortage for his son and nephew.

After taking over Master Cao's sword, the rosewood scabbard has no flowers and no patterns, simple and plain, and it is definitely a master-level handiwork. Then press the trick spring, with a loud sound, accompanied by the dragon's groan, the sword was unsheathed, and the cold air emitted by the black sword body was enough to prove that this sword was extraordinary.

Although Ding Pei is a civil official, he is a scholar who travels to study with swords, and has been a literati since the Tang Dynasty; What's more, Ding Pei is not a weak scholar, and he is also a person who is proficient in swordsmanship, so he can naturally distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of swords.

However, in front of Han Wang, Ding Pei did not show off, closed the scabbard casually, and deliberately said, "Such a sword is rare in the world, is it really forged in Fengzhuang Steel Mill?" ”

Han Wang replied honestly, "I don't dare to expire my lord, it was indeed built overnight yesterday, and there is a steward Zhang who can prove this matter." ”

Ding Pei waved his hand and didn't ask about it, but asked, "How many catties of this kind of steel can be produced in a day?" ”

"Now there are three furnaces, one furnace a day can produce about 100 catties of steel, if there is no accident, 300 catties of steel a day can still be guaranteed."

"Three hundred pounds a day? Wasn't that a full 100,000 catties of stainless steel that year? Han Wang nodded in confirmation.

Ding Pei's mood set off huge waves, what is the concept of these 100,000 catties of stainless steel if they are all made into weapons, this situation is definitely not lighter than the military intelligence of Liao. If you can't say it, you can take Han Wang south to Tokyo and face the housekeeper saint.

Found a treasure!

It's like picking up a cornucopia!
