When Yang Zilu heard this, she couldn't help but clench her fists excitedly, and asked Ding Bian a little nervously, "My baby elephants, how long will it take you to train well?" ”

Ding Bian touched his chin and messy beard and said: "The chief, these baby elephants are still young and very well trained, they are not afraid of resistance, they can be successfully trained in more than half a year, and the elephant rider and the baby elephant live together, and they will be easier to control when fighting in the future." But if you fight, I'm afraid it will take at least two years, because these baby elephants have just been seen, and they are generally in their early years. At the age of fourteen or fifteen, these baby elephants are considered adults. ”

Yang Zilu couldn't help but be depressed when she heard this, it will take two or three years at the earliest, and thirteen or fourteen years for the long term, which means that it will not be used in the short term. Yang Zilu frowned and asked, "What about adult elephants?" Can you tame? ”

"Yes, but it's a bit troublesome, and it will take a year to tame it to be able to go to war!" Ding Bian said.

Yang Zilu heard this, nodded, a year is not a long time, in the era of cold weapons, fighting in the jungle, the war elephant is the mountain heavy cavalry. However, Yang Zilu knew that out of the plains, these elephants would not work. So Yang Zilu hit the idea on the cavalry again. asked: "I heard Lao Kan say just now, the horse you tamed for Limeng is a wild horse?" Are there horses in this mountain? ”

"Lao Kan?" Ding Bian blinked suspiciously.

Kan Pingtian on the side had a black line on his forehead, and he couldn't be angry with Yang Zilu, so he naturally vented at Ding Bian and roared: "What are you doing in a daze!" Answer the master's words. ”

"Yes!" Ding Bian hurriedly responded, feeling quite depressed and didn't know who he had provoked, "There are a lot of horses in this mountain, but they are not good, they are too short!" As far as the war horses of the Chu State are concerned, they are generally seven feet eight inches tall (about 1.6 meters), but the wild horses in the mountains are only about six feet eight inches (about 1.4 meters), a difference of almost one foot! And the speed is not fast, pulling the military vehicle on the flat ground to charge, compared with the war horse of the Chu State, the combat effectiveness is too poor! ”

"Then these mountain horses, don't they have merit?" Yang Zilu asked with a frown.

"Yes, yes, but in the mountains, the speed is much faster than ordinary horses, and the stamina is not bad, but the chief, you can't let these guys fight in the mountains!" Ding Bian said, it seems that this guy still thinks that plain warfare is the most important thing in his heart. However, this is also the mainstream of this era, after all, the places where agriculture is developed are in the plains. Defeated on the plains, you run into the mountains, generally too lazy to chase.

Yang Zilu nodded and said, "Okay!" This advantage is enough, Lao Kan, you go and take Ding Bian to capture the war horse! ”

"Hmm!" Kan Pingtian nodded expressionlessly.

In fact, Yang Zilu was originally going to give Ding Bian an official position to win people's hearts, but unfortunately the official position he knew was two eras, one was naturally modern, but it didn't seem to be an official position in charge of the war horse in modern times, at least Yang Zilu hadn't heard of it. In this era, the monarch is below the official positions of important ministers such as Xiangguo and Dazai, and then there are the secretary doctors, the upper, middle, and lower doctors, and below the lower-level official positions such as scholars and officials.

But it doesn't seem to have an official position to manage war horses, Bi Ma Wen? Yang Zilu scratched her head, thought about it and felt that this official position was really unreliable, but she still felt that the matter of the official position would be determined after a while, anyway, it would not be that much time now.

Yang Zilu didn't go back to the temple to teach, and went to the ordnance supervisor set up here, although it was said that this ordnance superintendent was just a simple and large-scale small workshop. At this time, the leather armor craftsman was kneading the leather, and three little ones of thirteen or fourteen years old were apprenticed.

When the leather armor craftsman saw Yang Zilu, his pupils shrank suddenly, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and the leather stopped rubbing and stood up slowly. is because Yang Zilu knows that he has always been particular about this time, and the apprentices of the church starved to death of the master. If you don't serve the master well for three or five years, the master won't teach a little thing about the real surname. Yang Zilu didn't have the time to do Huairou work, so he directly gave this guy a white knife in and out of the red knife with a sword, naturally not to the vital place, but it also scared the leather armor craftsman half to death. Yang Zilu claimed that if one of the three little guys could not succeed in teaching within a year, then he would be stabbed eighteen times and then poured salt water into the wound. For this reason, Yang Zilu asked the leather armor craftsman to casually try the taste of salt water to clean the wound.

Sure enough, it is soft and afraid of hard, and now leather armor craftsmen are afraid when they see Yang Zilu. For the three students, there is nothing to say, I can't wait to change one day into two days, I am afraid that these three little guys will not be able to get out of the class, and he will be unlucky.

"Where's that guy?" Yang Zilu glanced at the simple ordnance supervisor and asked directly.

"Palace...... Uterine ions say ...... Go out and find ore! The leather armor craftsman stammered.

"There's another guy there, I can't remember what it's called!" Yang Zilu scratched his head, Gong Ion is the best skilled swordsmith, according to Qi Dong, although this guy is still an apprentice, he is already infinitely close to a swordsmith. However, Yang Zilu only believed half of this.

"That miner's name is Jinping, and he was pulled together by Gong Ion to find ore." Probably seeing that Yang Zilu seems to have a lot less dangerous surnames, the leather armor craftsman also speaks a lot more smoothly.

"Where?" Yang Zilu frowned, but asked in a calm tone.

"I don't know! I went out early this morning, but judging by the current sky, I should be almost back. The leather armor craftsman smiled bitterly and said helplessly.

Yang Zilu was pondering whether to wait here for a while, or go home to appease Xiaohu's weak heart. At this time, a slightly vicissitudes of life suddenly sounded, and the cheerful laughter still reached people's hearts in the cold wind. "Found it! Finally I found it! Ha! Ha! Ha! ”

When Yang Zilu heard this, he looked over and saw a guy who looked like a beggar, holding a stone in his hand, but the distance was a little far, and Yang Zilu couldn't see it clearly. This beggar-like guy, followed by a panting middle-aged man behind him, shouted: "Gong Ion, you wait for me!" Running so fast to be reincarnated? ”

"Gong Ion!" When Yang Zilu heard this, he recognized the beggar as the first and only swordsmith under him, so the stone in his hand was still found, wouldn't it mean that one of the copper ore or tin ore was found, or even both! Yang Zilu's eyes lit up suddenly, and she couldn't help but feel an irrepressible excitement in her heart.
