54, back to Moling
When the ambitious Peng Hu was busy gathering the various Shanyue tribes in the Yellow Mountain, Sun Ce and his party had already left Wanling County and went to Moling County.
Unlike Wanling County, today's Moling County is extremely important as Sun Ce's ruling center and transformation center.
There are more than 100,000 households, a population of 630,000, and a total of 9 counties, which is the basic situation in Moling County.
Moling County, close to the Yangtze River, is different from the undulating mountainous terrain of Wanling County, most of Moling County belongs to the plain terrain, with fertile land, developed agriculture, sufficient water sources and convenient transportation.
On November 13, Sun Ce and his entourage finally arrived at the port of Ma'anshan Town.
Moling County Taishou Order, County Cheng Hongzhi, County Sima Cui Bing, and Tieguan Xu Xuan came to Sun Ce and his party.
"The subordinates (the last general) meet the lord!" The four of them greeted each other together.
Sun Ce smiled and helped everyone up one by one, exchanged a few words of greeting, and then went to the nearest Ma'anshan town to inspect.
Ma'anshan Town is the largest steel smelting base in Jiangdong, including the entire process of iron ore mining, steel smelting, and weapon manufacturing.
It can be said that more than half of Jiangdong's steel production depends on Ma'anshan Town.
On the edge of the wharf is the weapons manufacturing field, the entire manufacturing field is heavily guarded, half of the Moling County soldiers, a total of 500 people are stationed here, day and night guard.
The armory factory mainly produces ring-headed knives, spearheads, and iron armor.
Every month, a large number of weapons are produced and transported to the treasury of Moling County by water.
There are two reasons why the weapons manufacturing yard should be built next to the Yangtze River.
First, next to the Yangtze River wharf, the transportation is convenient, and after the weapons are produced, they can be directly transported to the treasury of Moling County by waterway.
Second, the weapons manufacturing field has begun to use hydraulic hammer forging technology, of course, Sun Ce only put forward this idea, and the specific technical research is still done by Ma Jun.
With the application of hydraulic hammer forging technology, the production efficiency of steel smelting in the iron yard and the production of weapons in the weapon manufacturing yard have been greatly improved.
With a monthly output of 500 ring knives and 2,000 gun heads, this level of production is quite good in this era.
As for the iron armor, most of the armor produced by the manufacturing plant is Mingguang armor and two-crotch armor, which has a long production time.
After all, although the production efficiency of the nail piece has increased, the speed of embroidering the iron piece is still very slow. The workers had to cut holes one by one and then decorate them with leather threads, which was extremely troublesome.
Therefore, Sun Ce has ordered the iron supervisor Shi Manqiang to start exploring the technology of producing plate armor, and Sun Ce believes that with the hydraulic hammer forging technology, the production of plate armor should not be too far.
After carefully inspecting the weapons manufacturing site, Sun Ce was generally very satisfied.
As for the problem of production quantity, it was mainly due to the shortage of workers, and a large number of smelted iron ingots were stored in warehouses waiting to be made into weapons.
For the production of Ma'anshan Town, Sun Ce naturally still had to encourage the iron official Xu Xuan and the iron supervisor Shi Manqiang to say a few words.
Then, Sun Ce and his entourage left in a hurry and went to Moling County.
Along the way, Sun Ce hastily inspected the fields on the side of the road, and at this time the rice had been harvested, and according to the report of the Taishou Rank of Moling County, it was a bumper harvest year.
Winter wheat has been planted in the field, and the water conservancy facilities around the field are operating fairly well, but they are not as badly affected as the two Huai.
Sun Ce and his entourage did not stop too much on the road, and went directly to Moling County.
As for the reason why Sun Ce was in such a hurry, it was naturally that Liu Yun was about to give birth.
Among Sun Ce's wives and concubines, Liu Yun didn't pass the door early, but his luck was really good.
Du Rui and the step trainer who had already started her had not moved, but Liu Yun was lucky to be pregnant with Sun Ce's child, according to Hua Tuo's calculations, these two days were the days when Liu Yun gave birth.
Sun Ce was dressed in a military uniform, and the red tassel draped behind him flew up with the gallop of the horse under his crotch, and the red tassel on the iron helmet also fluttered.
Wu Zhongchen and thousands of cavalry also galloped and followed closely behind Sun Ce.
On the road leading to Moling County, smoke and dust are flying.
When Sun Ce and his entourage hurried back, Wuhou Mansion was also in a panic.
Fortunately, it is not the first time that this kind of thing has happened in Wuhou Mansion, when Chen Bing gave birth to a daughter and Gu Ying gave birth, the servants and maids in the mansion can be regarded as having a test.
With Mrs. Wu in the house, everything is in order.
Gu Ying stood behind Mrs. Wu with an expressionless face, and so did Chen Bing, Du Rui, Foot Trainer, and Ma Yan. As for the brocade, everyone didn't like it, and her status was not high, so she didn't appear here.
Several midwives were busy in Liu Yun's bedroom, accompanied by Liu Yun's mournful shouts from time to time, intermittently, sometimes high-pitched, sometimes low.
Gu Ying listened to it in her ears, and scolded secretly in her heart, giving birth to a child is like singing, as for it?
Of course, Gu Ying's mood is not very good, and anyone who knows that Liu Yun may give birth to a son may not be happy.
Chen Bing doesn't care, anyway, she has always been tranquil, and she has no family to worry about, her heart is on Sun Ce and her daughter Sun Yun, it is said that Chen Bing has now begun to inquire about the school-age boys in various families in Jiangdong.
Du Rui didn't care very much, she knew that she was from a bad background, and she didn't have any ambitions, she just wanted to serve Sun Ce well. Fortunately, Sun Ce didn't care about anything else, and Sun Ce was extremely satisfied. As for having a child, Du Rui thinks it's good to follow fate, anyway, Sun Ce is still young, and his age is not too old.
And the step trainer is different, although "Zhi? Volume fifty? Wu Shuwu? The record of the foot trainer in the fifth "Legend of the Concubine" is like this: "The husband is not jealous, and he advances more, so he loves to see him for a long time." ”
But the problem is that the foot trainer only has two daughters in his life and has no children. If you have a son, can the foot trainer really be as sexually jealous as recorded in the history books? Sun Ce didn't believe it.
What's more, the two daughters under the foot trainer, Sun Luban and Sun Luyu, are well-known in history, and it is probably not easy to train such two daughters.
Of course, these are all Sun Ce's guesses.
Of course, the step trainer is a little uncomfortable in his heart, and if he marries a woman, he must want to have his own children. Besides, the teachers and students are smart and can see some things clearly, so they still have some extravagant expectations.
Ma Yan and the foot trainer are in a similar mood, because the situation of the two is generally the same.
Hua Tuo can be said to be the most in and out of the Wuhou Mansion, and he also understands a little about the undercurrents surging in Sun Cehou's mansion. However, he has always believed in the preservation of his life, and at this time he is really standing there with his head bowed and his hands down.
Hua Tuo was a casual person by nature, and he didn't like to be an official, if it weren't for the purpose of carrying forward the art of Qihuang, he would not have stayed in Jiangdong, and even moved his family here.
The people in the courtyard had different thoughts.
It didn't take long for the baby's cry to finally come from the room, and it was extremely loud, I think it was a son!
Gu Ying was thinking in her heart, but she saw a stable woman walking out sweating profusely, and said to Mrs. Wu with a smile: "Congratulations to Mrs., Mrs. Hexi, it is a dragon and phoenix fetus, and the mother and child are safe!" ”
When Mrs. Wu heard this, she smiled happily and said, "Reward, ten gold per person." ”
The rest of Sun Ce's wives and concubines looked at each other when they heard Wen Po's words.
