Night.

Chengdu Post House.

Meng Yu looked at Meng Miao, who was sitting in front of him and studying the Taishi chair, with a confused face.

Seeing that Meng Miao didn't pay attention to what he meant, Meng Yu couldn't help but ask, "Second uncle, what does Your Majesty mean by this?" ”

Seeing the hope of survival, Meng Shu was no longer as desperate as before, and he no longer used silence to resist the injustice of fate as before.

Meng Miao glanced at this rugged nephew and shook his head secretly, he knew that in the barbaric land of Nanzhongman, where strength was the most, a good seedling like Meng Huo could definitely be cultivated into a future integrator of Nanzhongman, and even there was no problem in becoming the king of Nanzhongman.

But such a person, when they come to this place, they will inevitably be a little uneaten, and they are not proud of their fighting power, and everyone is playing a game of wit. In comparison, Meng Shu seemed a little straw, after all, he still had little knowledge, and he hadn't experienced much, where was the opponent of the young emperor.

What could be more torturous than letting people see hope in despair, but not talking about it? Looking at Meng Shu, who is restless now, you will know the result. Perhaps, the silent woman is much more shrewd than this rough guy!

Compared with Meng Huo, Meng Miao is actually more optimistic about Jiang Li, just because Jiang Li is a daughter, in the barbarians, women have always been vassals, and they are not much better than Han women in the Han people. Of course, it would be even better if this woman could be married into the Meng clan.

But now, he didn't dare to mention it. Liu Xie was above the main hall, looking at Jiang Li's eyes, which was obviously different from looking at Meng Shu. Perhaps, Nanzhongman can let Jiang Li be by Liu Xie's side and get more benefits, but it is not necessarily. This is the idea of Meng Miao and Yongyue.

Because Yongyue was also talking to Jiang Li at this time, but seeing Jiang Li's low eyebrows, but the look in his eyes was still cold, Yong Yue knew that what he said was also in vain, this is a woman with her own opinions, if she is in a hurry, it may backfire.

Meng Miao and Yongyue are both people who know how to read faces, and compared to other barbarians, they are actually more like scribes.

In fact, they are the brains of Meng and Yong.

"Sit down and have tea!" Meng Miao smiled and beckoned to Meng Shu, "I didn't expect that Your Majesty would design such a table and chair, it's really unimaginable!" ”

"Second uncle, I ...... You ......" Meng Shu was speechless, and secretly wondered: Can't you see that I'm in a hurry?

"Okay, okay, Your Majesty didn't take you to prison on the spot, hasn't it already explained the problem?" Meng Miao smiled confidently, "It's just that his appetite is a little bigger than we thought." But in fact, this is also an opportunity, not afraid of him opening his mouth, just afraid that he will not speak! ”

"Then the second uncle thinks, how will he make me confess?"

"You're a man, the battlefield is where you should be! Don't worry, wait a few more days to find out. ”

"......" Meng Shu was speechless.

But in fact, Meng Miao was even more speechless, if he could really guess, he would be a god.

……

"How many handles can be made in a day with such a horse chopping knife?"

For several days, Liu Xie threw these Nanzhong envoys aside, and then ran to the Jiangzuo camp to check the weapon forging project.

This is a Mo knife that is nearly one and a half meters long, Liu Xie came here today to see this. As early as more than half a month ago, this was created by Pu Yuan. Even Liu Xie also reminded them to use the assembly line work method to increase the output of the production of Mo knife.

But now, the output is still unsatisfactory, and sure enough, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Pu Yuanwei's slightly round face, "Although there is good steel and good carbon, and there are enough manpower, Your Majesty's requirements must be strict...... As a result, we can now produce up to 50 stalks a day. ”

"Fifty handles, that's good!" Liu Xie nodded, reached out and patted Pu Yuan's shoulder, then turned around and walked towards the stake, slashed at the armor tied to the stake, and directly cut through the three layers of leather armor with one sword. "Not bad! I'm quite satisfied with this achievement, but you can't be proud. Also, in terms of heavy armor, you need to step up a little more, and in two months, I will need three thousand pairs of this equipment......"

"Understood! Your Majesty, please rest assured! ”

With the backing of Mi and Zhenshi, and in the land of Yizhou, there is no shortage of coal and iron ore...... Naturally, he didn't need to worry too much about these things. Coupled with Liu Xie's proposal to use the urine and grease of livestock to quench the blade, the method of forging the knife has been directly improved a lot.

"Your Majesty, you brought it, can you try it now?" At this time, Wei Yan came to Liu Xie with a set of golden-colored, but fluttering armor.

Liu Xie chuckled and said, "Naturally, the reason why I want to give it a try is also to give you some confidence, lest you think this thing is a waste!" ”

Let Wei Yan put this set of paper armor on the wooden stake, and then take another pair of armor and put it on another wooden stake, "Okay, you can try it!" ”

Wei Yan didn't believe in evil, so he opened his bow and set up arrows, one bow and two arrows, and shot at the two pairs of armor respectively. Behind him, Lu Meng, Guan Ping, Liao Hua, etc., were all impressed by his archery skills. But if you are not convinced, there are naturally people, such as Tai Shici.

Puff puff......

The two arrows easily pierced the armor, but soon the crowd found out.

"This ...... How is this possible, is this thing really made of paper? "Lu Meng was a little unbelieving and buttoned the paper armor with his fingernails, and sure enough, he easily buckled a few sets of tissue paper." What's going on? It doesn't make sense! As His Majesty said, this is not scientific! ”

This truth, because of the scarcity of paper books, many people have not discovered it, but Liu Xie knows the reason. As for why he thought of making paper armor, in fact, Liu Xie didn't know it.

But when he saw the paper made, Liu Xie suddenly remembered that when he used to read novels, someone wrote this paper armor into the novel, although I don't know what era it was, and in the end this thing didn't become popular, but I have to say that it's absolutely okay for this thing to be scared.

Moreover, compared with other armors, its cost is not very high, and it can be produced in large quantities.

Of course, this thing has advantages, but there are also many disadvantages, one is afraid of water, the second is afraid of fire, and the third is afraid of cutting. The water is fine, just apply a layer of wax to the outside, but the fire is more difficult to prevent. And if you cut it with a sharp blade, you can easily cut it open.

But this thing is more effective against arrows than ordinary armor. If you don't believe it, you can take a book and do an experiment, use an iron nail to staple the book, or use a knife to cut the book, and see which one is easier to penetrate.

"Does Your Majesty want to use this thing in the next war?" Tai Shi Ci asked.

Liu Xie nodded and said, "We don't have many cavalry in Yizhou, and to deal with the cavalry in Xiliang, we don't have much advantage except for taking advantage of the terrain." But with this thing, you can give Xiliang Tieqi an unforgettable lesson, think about it! What would happen if the cavalry on both sides shot at each other, and one side of King Kong was not bad, but the other side was frequently dead? Against those iron cavalry, 3,000 heavy infantry alone is completely insufficient......"

"Is Your Majesty ready to send troops to Xiliang?" When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but rub their hands together.

"It's a matter of time before Xiliang sends troops!" Liu Xie chuckled lightly and said, "I thought that I would first settle down and subdue Nanzhongman." But I didn't expect that the heavens would help me, and they didn't need me to make a move, so they would run to join the ministers. That way, I'll have free hands to deal with those who don't obey. ”

And just as they were listening to the blood boiling one by one, wheelbarrows were pushed in from outside the camp. The wheelbarrow was covered with a black cloth, but through the cracks, it was clear that there were some clay pots inside......

At this time, a young man who was not tall, but very energetic ran over, "Grass people Mi Fang, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”

This is Mi Zhu's younger brother, after Mi Zhu did things for Liu Xie, he moved the Mi family to Chengdu, and Mi Fang also followed. He did not become an official, but he still worked for Liu Xie. Although Liu Xie did not give him an official title, he gave him respect, and at the same time, his status in the Chamber of Commerce was not low.

Of course, he also has a younger sister, who is now in the prime of life, and wanted to marry Liu Ranran, but now he ...... He is still in the boudoir.

Helping him up with his own hands, Liu Xie smiled and said, "It seems that Zifang's trip was quite successful, right?" ”

"With the help of Your Majesty's Hongfu, the journey was smooth, and the things were also obtained, and Jingzhou didn't say anything." Mi Fang grinned, "In fact, Jingzhou doesn't know what the grass people want those things for!" In fact, the grass people are also very puzzled, although that thing can be burned, it stinks when burned......"

Liu Xie laughed and said, "Stinky, that's right!" In fact, there should be people in Jingzhou who have tried to use that thing as military supplies! ”

"It did happen, but in the end, it was gone, otherwise, the grass people really couldn't get it."

This is natural, ordinary things and military supplies, those are definitely two different concepts. Not to mention the current era of war, that is, the era of peace in the future, strategic materials are still strictly forbidden to be sold at will.

Liu Xie wanted Mi Fang to do it, naturally it was oil and crude oil, although Yizhou also has oil, but now the exploitation and exploration technology is completely in its infancy, so it is necessary to find a place with open-pit oil fields in Jingzhou. In this era, there are not many people who know its use, that is, some people use it to treat skin diseases, or use it as lamp oil, but the crude oil that has not been refined, its viscosity is too high, and it is not very easy to use.

Therefore, in the military, not many people think about using this thing.

In Chinese history, it took two or three hundred years for this thing to appear in war.

But now, with Liu Xie here, if this thing is not used, it will not be wasted. Although he did not understand the advanced methods of how to refine crude oil, he still knew the land method. Precipitation, distillation, and re-cooling are simple steps and methods.

Of course, the refined things are naturally very rough.

However, compared with today's viscous and even solidified crude oil, the utilization rate is much higher.

"Let's go back first! I have something to do with Duke Wen! ”

"Whoa!"
