Liu Zhang put down the bamboo slip and looked at Huang Yue.

"Miss Huang, when it comes to this, I'm sorry for you......"

As soon as the three words "I'm sorry" came out, Huang Yueyu's face became snow-white, thinking of the dusk on Elm Street.

"I'm sorry", "thank you", I just thought it was the same result.

Twisting his fingers, Huang Yue lowered his head and said slowly: "I understand, the adult is to deal with the Cao Jun envoy, the adult only has Miss Xiao in his heart, Huang Yue understands, understands." Huang Yue smiled after speaking, and smiled a little bitterly.

"What do you understand?" Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yue strangely, Huang Yue raised his head in amazement, Liu Zhang said: "I haven't asked for your consent to this matter, so I said that, although the situation is compelling, Rong'er doesn't want other people to be his wife, and I don't want the Cao family's people to be his wife, but if you don't want to, I ...... your reputation."

"I'm willing to ......" Huang Yue blurted out, suddenly realizing that he was out of shape, and his fair face floated with a faint red.

Since Elm Street, my thoughts have been suppressed for too long, and in the nine months since the Sichuan Army went out, why has I been a yellow flower girl in the pastoral mansion?

Although it is to take care of Liu Xun, but this reason is too far-fetched, even Yahuan can't hide it, he just wants to wait for Liu Zhang's words in his dreams countless times, since he heard Liu Zhang say in front of all the civil and military in Fancheng that he wanted to make himself his wife, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, so he was so disappointed when Liu Zhang said "I'm sorry".

Now when I hear Liu Zhang say this, I am only afraid that Liu Zhang does not understand his state of mind, misses the result of his hard waiting, and his heart that has just relaxed, does not restrain himself, and says what he wants to say, but after speaking, he finds that he has lost his words, his face becomes red, and he stands in place in a daze, and he doesn't know what to do.

Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yue, saw her two pairs of white jade hands pulling each other in front of her lower abdomen, indicating the master's chaotic thoughts, reached out and pulled Huang Yue over, the quilt was lifted, and the bamboo slips on it rattled, all falling aside.

Liu Zhang pulled Huang Yue to the bed, Huang Yue was stunned for a moment, and as soon as he touched Liu Zhang's body, his whole body stiffened all of a sudden.

Liu Zhang covered the quilt and hugged the tight-skinned Huang Yue in his arms, Huang Yue was at a loss for a while and didn't dare to break free, but it was the first time he touched the man's body, and the hot air on Liu Zhang's body made him upset, and there seemed to be countless deer crashing in his heart.

"My wife, if you will." Liu Zhang whispered in Huang Yue's ear.

Huang Yue's head shrank for a moment, and it took a long time to regain some senses, his hands were half open, and he hesitated to hug Liu Zhang's waist, snuggled in Liu Zhang's arms tamely, and then raised his head to look at Liu Zhang: "My lord, then do you still care about your previous scruples?" ”

Huang Yue looked at Liu Zhang steadily, and Liu Zhang sighed lightly: "I used to worry about the sky, I don't know if I can live tomorrow, tomorrow, and how long I can live, what are you thinking about going so far?" ”

Although Huang Yueying analyzed the internal affairs, Liu Zhang was no longer as pessimistic about his future as before, thinking that the number of ninety-one would be nine deaths, but he never dared to take it lightly.

I'm afraid that Huang Yueying's senior brother Zhang Jiao, when the million-strong army got into trouble, he also felt that he would definitely be able to win the world, Huang Yueying's expectations are idealized, there are too many variables, at least so far, he still has no foundation, and the power of the world is surging, not to mention the ten years that Huang Yueying said, can he wait?

It stands to reason that his future is dangerous, and he should not harm Huang Yue, but Huang Quan and himself have long been tied to a chariot, Huang Yue has been in the pastoral mansion for a year, and everyone knows that even if there is no Fancheng matter, at this time, if he finds some high-sounding reasons to prevaricate, he is not worthy of being a man at all.

In fact, for Huang Yue and Xiao Furong, it no longer matters whether their future is dangerous or not.

Liu Zhang smiled and said to Huang Yue: "Look at our family, you are well organized, when Xun'er does not have me, you can write poems and essays with peace of mind, the girls are angry and well-behaved, if there is no you, I don't know what the chaos will be, is this still a home?" ”

Huang Yue gradually got used to being held by Liu Zhang, his pink face was pillowed on Liu Zhang's chest, and he said softly: "People have been ridiculed by those girls I don't know how many times, if you don't want to give people a name, they don't know how to live in the future." ”

Huang Yue thought about it at this time, he was really a little afraid, he didn't think so much at the beginning, and he had a reason to take care of Liu Xun, so he naturally moved in, but as soon as he moved in, although he warned himself many times that this was not good, he still unconsciously stayed in it and did not leave.

Until almost everyone knows their hearts, if in the end he doesn't get the promise he wants, Liu Zhang comes back, and he is forced to leave here, what a bleak scene it would be?

I didn't think that I would get a promise before, but why didn't I think of such consequences?

But now everything has become a lot of worry, with Liu Zhang's words, that nightmare can never happen to him again, Huang Yue felt unprecedented peace of mind, and couldn't help hugging Liu Zhang tighter.

"So, you agreed?" Liu Zhang turned over and pressed Huang Yue's body underneath, his eyes fixed on her from above.

Huang Yue said in his heart, you are like this, can I still not agree? But feeling Liu Zhang's gaze, the skin of his whole body seemed to be scratched, his pink face was flushed, avoiding Liu Zhang's gaze, and after half a sound, he nodded sheepishly.

At the same time, Liu Zhang's body pressed Huang Yue, and kissed Huang Yue's lips at once, only feeling infinitely sweet and moist, and he never wanted to separate after kissing, Huang Yue was caught off guard, "Hmm", first widened his eyes, then closed his eyes, his long eyelashes fanned, and he responded jerkyly.

After a long time, it wasn't until Liu Zhang's hand passed through his clothes and touched the sensitive existence through Huang Yue's clothes that Huang Yue woke up.

"No...... Don't ......"

Huang Yue stretched his jade body impatiently, his lips were released, he gasped, his hands pushed Liu Zhang, and his eyes looked straight at Liu Zhang: "Wait, okay?" I want to wait until the wedding day to give everything to the adults and beg the adults. ”

Huang Yue begged, although he was willing in his heart, but he was from a famous family, and he still couldn't accept it.

Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yue, who was breathing like an orchid, kissed her lightly on the lips, lay back next to the beauty, hugged Huang Yue from the new and said, "Then tell me, when will you hand you over to me?" ”

Seeing Liu Zhang's evil smile, Huang Yue's face was flushed, and the hand around Liu Zhang couldn't help but pinch Liu Zhang's back.

"I think it's common sense, three months from now." Liu Zhang saw that Huang Yue didn't speak, and it seemed that he wouldn't answer, so he could only say it himself, just looking at Huang Yue's dignified face with a cowardly expression, and holding the warm jade body, two upright and soft balls pressed on his chest, and he couldn't help but feel a little impulsive in his lower body, afraid that Huang Yue would find out, so his body moved back a little.

"Three months later is Xun'er's birthday, and Mrs. Yun's ...... How can you get married, or, let's postpone it. As soon as Huang Yueguang wanted to wait for three months, he felt that his heart was empty, but in order to take care of the overall situation, he could only suppress the expectations in his heart.

Liu Zhang was stunned, he almost forgot about this stubble, he didn't remember last year, Liu Xun went to worship his mother alone, he couldn't be like that this time, although he had no feelings with that "Mrs. Yun", but Liu Xun's birthday, he must give him a time.

"Then why not in advance? I think it's only these two months. Liu Zhang said.

Huang Yue looked at Liu Zhang's urgent gaze, and couldn't think of anything to refuse, so he nodded: "It's all up to the adults." ”

"It's still called an adult, and it sounds good." Liu Zhang approached Huang Yueyurong and stroked her smooth face.

Huang Yue hesitated for a while, and shouted with a red face: "Husband", the voice was like a mosquito. Liu Zhang looked at Huang Yue's shy appearance, his voice was soft and intoxicating, and his whole body was even more uncomfortable, and he almost couldn't hold it anymore, and he wanted to swallow the beauty in front of him.

Liu Zhang climbed out of the quilt and half lay on the couch, Huang Yue also got up and leaned on Liu Zhang's side, Liu Zhang picked up Liu Xun's poems and said to Huang Yue: "Come, let's see the masterpieces written by our son." ”

Huang Yue's heart was sweet, and he also picked up a bamboo slip, the two leaned together, looking at Liu Xun's poems, Liu Xun's writing is really good, but it is also full of childlike fun, especially those articles that "stabilize the country", Huang Yue couldn't help but laugh when he read it, and finally got rid of the embarrassment, and snuggled up next to Liu Zhang, like two people who have been together for a long time.

………… On the day of the erection, the ministers came to the hall early, Liu Zhang had just returned to the capital, but he didn't want to leave a bad impression, not to mention that all the officials had already received the order to be rewarded, and all the officials were at least one level higher, in this case, everyone was naturally very motivated.

"See the lord."

Liu Zhang came out with a group of powerful people, and the civil and military officials bowed down together, their voices were loud and full of spirit.

"This official has just returned to Chengdu, and I am very pleased to see everyone working hard." Liu Zhang sat on the main seat.

"Serve the Lord and never give up."

Liu Zhang asked Huang Quandao: "Have all the official promotions in Yizhou been announced?" ”

Huang Quan saluted and said yes.

Liu Zhang nodded, and said to all the officials: "I Jingyi Erzhou has been fighting one after another, and there have been disasters, and now, entering the period of suspension and recuperation, in the next few months, you will still perform your duties as usual, listen to Lord Huang in everything, and you need to prepare for a few other things, first, the four imperial examinations are coming again, and they must not be abolished, or like last year, try your best to select my Jingyi talents, the spring test that was originally said, because the war has not been carried out, and after the autumn test, you must also start to prepare."

Second, it is expected that Cao Cao will marry his daughter in early September, and Lord Huang will arrange for someone to take her back, and start to choose an auspicious day in September, and Benhou and Miss Huang will get married.

Third, the flood in Jingzhou has basically subsided, but reconstruction requires a lot of manpower and material resources, and Yizhou must fully support it. ”

"I'll do my best." The ministers said in unison.

"Okay, Huang Quan, Wang Fu, Zhang Song, Wang is tired, Fa Zheng Zhang Ren stays, and the others return to their own duties."

The ministers retreated, Liu Zhang walked out, Fazheng Huang Quan and others followed, and when they arrived in the courtyard of the pastoral mansion, there were Hu Che'er and some personal soldiers standing guard in a circle, and there was a basket in the middle, and there were some books in the basket.

Zhou Budo was flipping through those books, and when he saw some pictures and texts, he patted his thigh excitedly from time to time. Everyone else thought he was crazy.

The soldiers set up a circle of chairs, and a long square table was placed in the middle, on which tea and peanuts were dropped, and several people saw this formation and knew that there was a big move.

Fa Zheng sat down first, and the others also found a place to sit down, except for Zhang Song who picked up a peanut, just peeled it, made a click, looked at everyone with his eyes, and put it down honestly, and the others looked at Liu Zhang.

Liu Zhang pulled out a chair, sat on the main seat, and said to the others: "Everyone feel free, what we want to talk about today is the basic policy for the next three to five years, this person has more gossip and can't discuss anything, but I can't have the final say alone, I will come to you, one is to inform you, the other is to ask for your opinions, if there is anything unreasonable, just put it forward." ”

Wang Xu commanded his soldiers to hand out a book to everyone, and the others all looked at it carefully, some frowned, some had bright eyes, Fa Zheng picked it up and turned two pages and put it down, these are Huang Yueying's governance strategies, I have already read it, and I have also mentioned the opinions that should be raised.

Liu Zhang picked up the book in his hand, raised it and said: "The strategies above are all put forward by the military advisor Huang Yueying, mainly about money and food, talents, people's hearts, soldiers, four aspects, I think it is very reasonable, the first three points Jingzhou has been implemented, I think Yizhou should also be implemented, do you have any opinions?" ”

Several people looked at the article carefully, and Liu Zhang waited while eating.

Wang Fu looked at a few pages, raised his head and said: "Lord, this reclamation of agricultural famine and absorption of refugees is nothing, this absorption of foreigners to cultivate has two inconveniences, the first is that those foreigners do not obey the control, do not practice education, and are prone to cause trouble, and second, if a large number of foreigners really come in, the foreign barbarians think that we have weakened their strength, what should we do if they raise troops to cause nuisance?" ”

"When things happen to the barbarians, they will deal with the barbarians, and when the Han people live, they will deal with the Han people, just do two things, first, deal with it fairly, and publish the handling process in detail, try to be open and transparent, so that the Han people and the barbarians have the bottom in their hearts, and second, try to distinguish the barbarian farming area from the Han farming area."

In the middle and late period of the Three Kingdoms, Soochow absorbed many Shanyue people to go out of the mountains to cultivate the fields. As for the drawbacks, Liu Zhang and Huang Yueying have already thought about it.

"As for the barbarians raising up troops to make a nuisance." Liu Zhang peeled a peanut and put it in his mouth: "Although we have suspended the army to support the people, can't a few foreigners still deal with it?" Don't worry about the Wuxi barbarians, the southern barbarians have Jiangzhou Li Hui to defend, and the Qiang people in the west are left, and we will talk about the armor later. ”

Wang Fu nodded, and was about to continue to look down, Liu Zhang said again: "I will add two more points to this, all prison inmates in Jingyi Erzhou have all been changed to labor reform, no need to be imprisoned, either work or open up wasteland and cultivate fields, and if they do a good job, their sentences will be reduced."

All barbarians and Han people marry, regardless of gender, can obtain Han nationality and become Han people. ”

Wang Fu and everyone were shocked when they heard the latter sentence, and after thinking about it carefully, they knew the cleverness of this strategy, who would be willing to be a barbarian, especially those barbarian girls, who would not desperately marry outside, fortunately, the barbarians are all five big and three coarse and do not know politics, and a little bit of brains know that this is to destroy them from the foundation.

Huang Quan frowned slightly when he saw the training officials and reserve officials, he knew the consequences of doing so, now because the Shi clan has knowledge, the officials are basically from those big clans, so they can still take what the government wants, thinking that the government is afraid of them, as long as they don't do too much, even Liu Zhang can't help them.

However, this strategy is to enable a large number of Hanmen Shu clans, which is undoubtedly the most proud of the clan's reliance on ice and snow melting, which will definitely exacerbate the panic of the clan, and as soon as the clan panics, the nerves will be tense, and the nerves will be tense, and they don't know what they will do.

But Huang Quan also knew that although the balance could be maintained now, the government was under heavy pressure, and the family was dormant, one day it would cause trouble, so it was better to strike first, so he didn't say anything.

But later, I saw that the people worked long and short to monitor the clan, as long as the clan rebelled, after the clan was wiped out, the land and family property would be distributed to the informant as appropriate, and he couldn't help but be surprised, Huang Quan really couldn't figure it out, as a child of the family, how could Huang Yueying be so ruthless?

Sure enough, the most terrible thing in the world is a woman.

"My lord." After reading it, Huang Quan closed the booklet and said: "There is nothing wrong with these strategies themselves, but the subordinates feel a little impatient, if they must be implemented, we need to guard against two aspects, one is the dissatisfaction of the wealthy family, and the other is the dissatisfaction of the foreign family, they may use drastic means to resist the lord's policy." ”

"Don't you hunt if you're afraid of tigers?" Liu Zhang said in a deep voice: "I know they will complain, but I believe they don't dare, now Cao Cao is fighting against Yuan Shao, we have a naval army against Sun Quan, they can't threaten us, and the internal clans and some primitive foreign clans are even less likely to be our opponents."

I'm afraid that those who have bad intentions will not rebel, and if they rebel, I will just eradicate them completely, and if they can continue to lie dormant until the policy is fully implemented, then they will have nothing to threaten us, do you say? ”

What Liu Zhang hates the most is that the clan can endure and always play tricks, Liu Zhang also knows that those clans under his rule are submissive on the surface, but they are unpredictable, but they can't catch the evidence, just like a loach, they can't keep their hands.

Now there is no external trouble, if these people are reversed, they just concentrate on quelling the rebellion, if they wait until the future Cao Cao Dingding in the north, the Jiangdong naval army develops, and Liu Bei rises, these clans will rebel, it will be a big trouble.

This is how he went to Jingzhou, just when he was on an expedition to Chaisang, if Huang Quan hadn't dealt with it properly, and he would have landed in Jiangling soon, Chengdu and the clans around the country, I'm afraid it would have been reversed a long time ago, and this would have led to a whole body, as long as he was defeated once on the front line, the clans would have attacked in the rear, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Liu Zhang didn't want to wait until he fought Sun Quan, Liu Bei, and Cao Cao in the future, and he had to take care of these flies, so he decisively implemented these strategies to anger those clans.

Huang Quan gritted his teeth, since Huang Yueying dared to propose these strategies and dare to implement them in Jingzhou, why couldn't he say to Liu Zhang: "In this way, there is no problem." ”

"Well, Huang Quan Wang Fu, you will work hard to do these three things, talents, money and food and people's hearts, next year's four imperial examinations, I hope to see a large number of Hanmen and Shu people, as for their examination subjects, of course, there is only one governing one, after the selection of these officials, there will be an examination every year, in addition to governing the government, appropriately add some history and humanities knowledge.

Intensify the reclamation of agricultural famine, recruit peasants, and at the same time continue to develop business, all the industries that the government can decentralize, and there are also some businesses that benefit the country and the people, such as renting ploughing cattle, renting water wheels, and opening irrigation canals for retail households who cannot afford to raise cattle, all of which encourage businessmen to do so, and can also share some of the burden for the government. ”

"Yes."

Liu Zhang took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said: "Okay, these three points are arranged, and the armor is left, but the soldiers, in addition to training, there are also equipment, Huang Quan, has the steward of the craftsman's room called?" ”

"They're all outside the house."

"Please come in."

The young Ma Jun and a man in his thirties walked in, and Huang Quan introduced: "This is called Ma Jun, this is called Zuo Bo, Ma Jun designed a new type of dumping and weaving machine, Zuo Bo has made improvements to the dyeing of cloth and the coating of porcelain, because of his outstanding contributions, he is now the steward of the craftsman battalion." ”

"I've seen Master Hou." The two bowed to Liu Zhang together.

The soldiers brought two chairs and put them under Liu Zhang's head, Liu Zhang glanced at the two, the two looked at each other, and did not dare to sit down, Liu Zhang said lightly: "The things discussed today don't seem to be big things, but they are all big things, but Ben Hou can't give orders directly, and you must listen to everyone's opinions, especially the two of you."

If you keep standing like this, how can you think about it and not think, I just give the order like this, and you will do it? ”

Ma Jun and Zuo Bo glanced at each other, doing technical work, what they are most afraid of is that outsiders point fingers and don't know how to pretend to understand, especially Shangguan, that will make them very painful, Liu Zhang can think about them like this, it's not bad.

The two were really afraid that Liu Zhang would give orders indiscriminately, so they sat down nervously.

Liu Zhang glanced at the two of them: "Well, they are all great talents, I think that making a rollover and improving the coloring is not smaller than the contribution of the governance side, Ben Hou is now sealing Ma Jun as the head of the craftsman battalion, with a rank of two thousand stones, and Zuo Bo is the deputy head of the craftsman battalion, with a rank of 1,500 stones, and the rest of the craftsmen with outstanding contributions are all sealed, and the specific details are drawn up by Huang Quan." ”

Everyone was shocked, especially Ma Jun and Zuo Bo, they didn't expect that they had done something that others despised and that they would be rewarded like this, with a rank of two thousand stones, what kind of concept is this, it is already the concept of a member of the imperial court, it stands to reason that even if Liu Zhang is a general of Hou Ye, he does not have the power to seal such a big official.

Ma Jun's status suddenly rose to the level of Huang Quan and others, everyone was surprised, Zhang Song looked at the two of them jealously, originally thought that he was a "bank sacrifice wine", the rank was more than 1,000 stones, it was already very high, but I didn't expect that people would be 2,000 stone masters as soon as they came up.

Ma Jun and Zuo Bo hurriedly left the table and bowed to Liu Zhang, Liu Zhang signaled to the pro-soldiers behind, and the pro-soldiers carried the basket not far away, and Zhou Budo also followed, found a bench to sit on, and held a book in his hand to read......

Zhou Budo also claimed to be erudite and talented, astronomy and geography, and knew everything from three religions and nine streams, but when he saw Huang Yueying's crossbows and various mechanical practices, he was still amazed, and he worshipped so many masters, but he didn't expect that there were people in this world who were so unattainable.

Of course, it's just machinery, other internal affairs and military literature, Zhou Budo basically only glanced at it and didn't look at it, it seems that Huang Yueying claims to have learned from her teacher and is biased towards machinery, and she has to be mechanical, and it is true.

Liu Zhang picked up a few bamboo slips and pushed them in front of Ma Jun and Zuo Bo: "Just take a look, there are ten crossbow arrows, seven crossbow arrows, single-shot crossbows, knife carts, water wheels, new papermaking, printing, ink production, plows, pumping machines and other more than 70 kinds of machinery, weapons and other items, you see, can you make them according to the drawings?" ”

The two listened to Liu Zhang's words, and at first they didn't think about it, thinking that these things that Liu Zhang said basically didn't appear, how could there be so many at once, unless Liu Zhang dug up some ancient tomb and discovered the former civilization.

But after the two of them opened those books, they couldn't help but be surprised, their eyes widened and widened, and the two of them began to sit under Liu Zhang's head and were still a little restrained, but they were both "science madmen", and when they saw so many novel and exquisite things, they were all nervously excited, and Ma Jun slapped the table one after another.

"Wonderful, subtle, unbelievable." Ma Jun slapped the table vigorously, as if there was no one around.

Uncle Zuo read some of them, felt exquisite, and showed them to Ma Jun on the spot, and there was a burst of admiration, Ma Jun finished reading the three volumes, got up and bowed to Liu Zhang: "Lord, dare to ask who did this, and I am determined to ask her for a lesson or two." ”

Liu Zhang said with a smile: "Just ask for advice, this is all done by Huang Yueying, the military advisor of my Sichuan army, she is very busy, and now she is busy governing Jingzhou to conquer the bandits, you better see if you can do these first." ”

"Oh, the subordinate has lost his word, the subordinate has lost his word." Ma Jun also realized that he was getting carried away, bowed twice awkwardly, sat down anew, looked through a few bamboo slips, and said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, I can do all of the things I just read, but the time spent is different, and there is a problem of funding."

As long as the time and financial problems are solved, these are all fine, and I think many can be improved, such as the ten-round bed crossbow, according to this principle, it can be completely improved into a fifty-round giant bed crossbow, so that if you guard the pass, only a few planes, thousands of troops and horses are not close. ”

"yes." Zhou Budo looked at the book in his hand, and said faintly without raising his head: "People can't get in, it depends on how many arrows you shoot, these fifty shots go out, how many can hit, and the shot is not an arrow, it is gold, and such a big bed crossbow, I'm afraid it will be shelved in Chengdu, where else to fight?"

The person who drew the picture had already thought of this, to really equip the army, ten rounds is the limit, unless the Hou Ye guards a golden mountain and can't finish it. ”

After Zhou Budo finished speaking, Ma Jun was embarrassed, and Liu Zhang scolded: "What are you talking about, can't you make a few decorations to deter the enemy?" ”

Zhou Budo has been in the pastoral mansion for a long time, and Liu Zhang treats him as his own child, anyway, it looks like Liu Xun's elder brother, who has to teach his younger brother and scold his younger brother, so he reprimands him casually, as for his talent, he refuses to be loyal to himself anyway, and automatically ignores it.

Zhou Budo pursed his lips and continued to read.

Ma Jun said: "Zhou Budo is right, this is indeed my negligence, I just thought of this possibility, the person who drew the picture must know that it can be expanded, and he is smiling and generous, and he is smiling and generous." Ma Jun wiped his sweat.

Zhou Budo can be said to be a frequent visitor to the craftsman's room, at first everyone looked at him as a child, and they didn't care, but within a few months, after Zhou Budo worshiped a few masters, he actually learned the skills of the craftsman's room, even more skilled than the old craftsmen for a few years.

Talented and intelligent, I can't help but let these craftsmen smack their tongues, now there is no one in the craftsman's room who doesn't know Zhou Budo, and Ma Jun naturally knows it.

Speaking in front of Zhou Budo is really stressful.

Liu Zhang waved his hand and said: "Don't pay attention to him, fifty rounds of bed crossbow, wait for Benhou to have money and rebuild, now, you say enough money, I am sure I don't have it, and I won't give it, now the most important thing is to make a few things as soon as possible, one is papermaking and printing, as well as flowable ink, so that with the pen, we can carry out official training more cheaply, and at the same time print more hundreds of schools and sell them to the people, so as to facilitate cultural promotion."

The second is to overturn the car, push the rake, pump, turn the plow and other farm tools, to make as soon as possible, this is good for the reclamation of fields and farmland to increase income, without grain, everything is empty talk, with food, there is other. ”

"I can make farm tools here, and the more complicated ones are mechanical, and it shouldn't be difficult to have these drawings, just papermaking." Ma Jun frowned and said, "It depends on Uncle Zuo." ”

Liu Zhang looked at Uncle Zuo, who was carefully reading a booklet, his expression was focused, Ma Jun pushed him, and Uncle Zuo woke up suddenly.

"My lord." Uncle Zuo said loudly: "If this booklet arrives early, why wait until today, I have invented a kind of paper, white, delicate, soft, uniform, bright color, paper is especially good, but the process is cumbersome, in order to make the paper soft and white, it is a very cumbersome process to get paper pulp and dry paper film."

But this ...... Oh, the paper-making method of the Huang Yue British Division, a large amount of stirring and fishing out the pulp with a fixed iron net, and then when it is drying, steam is sprayed at intervals, and when it is dry, it will not be easy to run ink and crack, this method greatly simplifies the procedure, how did I not think of it, alas, how did I not think of it, how did I ......"

Ma Jun pushed Zuo Bo with his elbow, Zuo Bo reacted suddenly, and said to Liu Zhang seriously: "This paper can be done, and Huang Junshi said that the ink is because the traditional paper has entered the misunderstanding, saving on raw materials, the actual papermaking is expensive is not the raw materials, but the process, so after I add a small amount of leather to a large amount of pulp, the ink running of the paper is greatly reduced, and I will definitely be able to make perfect paper." ”

Although Zuo Bo deliberately suppressed, he still couldn't restrain his excitement, these craftsmen, although they were humble in the eyes of the world, were very enthusiastic about their careers. It seems that I am even happier to show them these things than to make them officials.

Zuo Bo is a papermaking expert in history, the improved Zuo Bo paper is a unique in the world, but there is still no big pair to reduce the price of paper, until the new baking method replaced the previous burning, paper in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the price of the deputy is lower, and Huang Yueying's method is similar to this baking method.

In fact, science is often just a layer of window paper, when it is invented, it will be found that there is nothing profound, and when it is not invented, it has to go through countless people to spend a lifetime to explore.

Zuo Bo suppressed his emotions and continued: "Printing is really breathtaking, it will be passed down through the ages, as for ink, Huang Junshi has made great progress, and his subordinates are now responsible for the improvement of cloth dyeing and porcelain spraying, and they must try to mix thick ink that can flow freely, but time is not guaranteed." ”

Liu Zhang nodded: "It's good to do these two things first, if it is done, the two of you." Liu Zhang looked at Ma Jun and Zuo Bo and said, "Both are marquis." ”

Ma Jun and Zuo Bo were startled, immediately stood up, and bowed together: "Subordinates will serve death." ”

"Well, since the problem of farm tools and paper has been solved, there is only armor left, not to mention fifty-round crossbows, ten-round crossbows and seven-round crossbows, and you don't need to do anything about knife carts or anything, you can help me make a few things that have been done first, Ge, hook and sickle, and the single-shot long-range crossbow above, this kind of crossbow is too expensive, not too much, only twenty, and the rest will be done when you have money, and make a few more gadgets."

Liu Zhang mysteriously took out two pieces of paper from his arms, this action immediately attracted everyone's attention, because the previous things were too dazzling, including Zhou Budo, they all stared at the two pieces of paper in Liu Zhang's hand.

Liu Zhang handed the paper to Ma Jun, and Ma Jun glanced at it, and there were some things on it that he didn't seem to have seen or seemed to have seen, but when he looked down, he knew the purpose of those things.

There was a horse drawn under the paper, and these little things were clearly stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes.

The stirrup saddle has already appeared in its original form, but now the saddle is a thick cloth, and the stirrup was a rope with legs in the Western Han Dynasty, and it became a U-shaped iron tied in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Ma Jun looked at the painting above, the role of the saddle and stirrup is obvious, the saddle can keep the knight from jolting, the stirrup has almost one effect, the foot has a place to be stressed, it is easier to make movements on the horse, and the horseshoe is really an invention.

Ma Jun's eyes widened, according to the above description, Ma Jun saw the role of the horseshoe, if there was no horseshoe, the new stirrup and saddle were just a snake to add to the painting, and the current stirrup and saddle were enough.

The only role of the horseshoe is to increase the bearing capacity of the war horse, both the distance and the bearing have been upgraded to a level, so that the battle on the battlefield, the cavalry charge and durability have become very considerable, and you can also add protection on the war horse to become a heavy cavalry.

And the so-called good archery and spear throwing in Xiliang can be imitated by almost all farming Han people, and after training, they are also a nomadic cavalry and archery team.

"Can you do it?" Liu Zhang asked.

"It's easy." Ma Jun replied.

"Yes." Liu Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and said to Huang Quan: "Okay, with new farming tools and paper and ink, as well as many scientific farming methods, I believe that reclaiming wasteland, increasing grain production, and personnel training should not be a big problem, you go down and get busy first, Wang is tired." ”

Liu Zhang stopped Wang Lei, took out another piece of paper from his arms, and suddenly everyone's eyes were concentrated, only to feel that Liu Zhang's arms were hiding a lot of treasures, Liu Zhang handed the paper to Wang Lei: "The number written on this is called the Sanmiao number, which was invented by the ancient Chiyou tribe, after Chiyou was defeated by Yanhuang, it was lost, you are responsible for promoting, officials, craftsmen's houses, workshops, it is best to be identified." ”

Liu Zhang handed over the paper with Arabic numerals, a detailed description of each number, and the method of operation to Wang Lei, who looked at it, felt very novel, and replied: "Yes." ”

A few people got up to leave, and Zhang Song hesitated and said, "Lord, they all have something to do, so what does my bank do?" ”

Zhang Song had a bitter face, if you want to say that Liu Zhang doesn't pay attention to him, the official of Feng is big enough, if you want to say that you attach importance to him, this bank really has nothing to do, the so-called bank under Liu Zhang is to stipulate the maximum and minimum prices of commonly used items in the market, as well as regulate and control materials.

However, before business was fully prosperous, the bank almost became an ornament, and Zhang Song was about to get sick all year round, only feeling that he was a mediocre official with a high salary, and he was completely unable to display his talents.

Liu Zhang smiled: "Doesn't your bank have anything to do?" Wang Lei's promotion of the three seedlings number, you have to study hard, and now after the farming thing is issued, so many new farm tools, farmers may not be able to afford it, you can lend money to them, so that they can buy farm tools first, and then return them to you when the harvest is sold. ”

Zhang Song's face became even more bitter: "Lord, I don't have any money in this bank, where did I get the money to lend them money?" ”

Liu Zhang shook his head: "Yongnian, you are also a smart person, the money allocated to you by the government is used to purchase unsalable items, and now that commerce is not rising, and there is no item purchase, won't you use the money to invest in those workshops?"

Expand the scale of the workshop, the money earned, will naturally be distributed to you, such as waiting for Zuo Bo to make paper, this is a money-making business, you invest money in the paper workshop, isn't that waiting for a share? Still worried about running out of money? ”

Zhang Song's eyes rolled twice, and he clapped his hands suddenly: "Yes, why didn't I think that this is really a way to make money, and the lord is really a god." ”

Zhang Song didn't know that the banks of later generations were all engaged in investment and financial management, and at this time, after Liu Zhang's allocation, he immediately felt that this was a big way to make money, and with this method, the bank didn't make a lot of money? It will definitely become the most sought-after position, and I can't help but be very happy and the gloom will be swept away.

Zhang Song finally regained his confidence and sense of superiority, and strode out with Huang Quan and others.

Only Zhang Renfazheng and Ma Jun Zuobo were left, Liu Zhang said to Zhang Ren: "Okay, General Zhang, now it's your task left, Ma Jun will make stirrups, saddles and horseshoes, as well as Changge and hook sickles, and I think the white pole gun can not only climb and climb mountains."

After removing the hook, this short weapon should be able to become a cavalry weapon, and I will go all out to buy horses, and I want you to find an absolutely secret place in the west of Chengdu from now on, and train an absolutely secret cavalry, and a crack infantry. ”
