A week passed.

The first batch of 300 quintals of iron ore was secretly transported to Starfall Town.

Lu Chen followed the transport team back to the town, he needed to come back to test the actual effect of the equipment manufacturing department, and Xu Rong was in charge of the mine, and he was completely relieved.

The equipment manufacturing department is located on the entire west side of the north gate near the Songhe, the outside is four stone walls, the gate is a heavy wooden door, five or six people push open the heavy wooden door, inside is a walkway, the inner part of the walkway is four parts, in turn to the leather armor department, the smelting department, the research and development department, and the warehouse, and the back is where the craftsmen live.

Among them, the warehouse is divided into two floors, the lower floor is underground, and the upper floor is the same floor as the other three.

The iron ore is transported directly to the smelting department, which has a smelting furnace and 300 blacksmiths, who live here in secret, and when the iron ore is in their hands, the blacksmiths begin to melt the ore and extract the iron.

Lu Chen went to the R&D department.

It is not enough for the manufacturing department to have ferro, it must have drawings to make it, which is the restriction of the manufacturing department.

The tip of a simple spear is not difficult to draw, but its heat depends on the skill of the blacksmiths, it is different from the sword, the drawing of the sword is extremely complex, a knife, its thickness, width, density, and shape, all have a crucial impact on the quality of the knife.

Of course, the most difficult part is the design of the armor.

There are only 13 people in the R&D department, they are all intermediate blacksmiths and intermediate tailors, none of them are senior talents, and Uncle Niu and Aunt Sun, Lu Chen really dare not use them, although they are in the village, they are loyal to the Han, at least now they dare not invite them openly.

Nearly 700 people in the other two departments are both middle and low-level, and they are middle-level and low-level talents.

Lu Chen looked at the drawings they had already drawn, all of them were simple machetes, short swords, iron bows, arrowheads, spearheads, spearheads, stirrups, all of which were simple.

But none of the drawings are available.

Lu Chen exhaled deeply, and his heart was suddenly distressed.

"You draw according to the head of this spear, try to observe it as clearly, and make sure you draw a usable spear head." Lu Chen pressed his Heavenly Punishment Spear against the gun rack, praying that they would be able to draw a working drawing.

"Yes, my lord."

When Lu Chen left the equipment manufacturing department and returned to the mansion, he saw Tian Zhong in the hall, waiting for him in a panic.

I sighed inwardly, this thing must be no good.

When Tian Zhong saw Lu Chen coming, he immediately shouted: "Lord, you are finally back, Tian Zhong misses the lord." ”

Lu Chen glanced at him with disgust, and asked calmly, "Say, what's going on again." ”

"My lord, it's a big deal, the horses in the post house have been stolen." Tian Zhong said in a panic.

"What, the horses were stolen?"

Lu Chen asked in surprise, the horses of this post station are composed of Wuhuan horses, and the construction of the post station must put three hundred horses, and since there are no other post horses, Wuhuan horses are used.

But now it's not rented, it's stolen.

How can Lu Chen endure it.

"Tian Zhong, the post station will be closed first, and then find a way to get some inferior stagecoaches to open it again, otherwise, the post station will be stolen sooner or later."

"Yes, my lord." Tian Zhong nodded in agreement.

Suddenly.

He also said: "Lord, Tian Zhong has another matter, it is about the academy, now the academy has been established for some time, but there are very few villagers who have signed up, Tian Zhong thinks, is the academy's request to forcibly send children of the specified age to the academy?" ”

"Fuck off, does compulsory enrollment work? It will only make the residents disgusted with the town and resolutely refrain from it. Lu Chen didn't think about it, and directly rejected Tian Zhong's idea.

The establishment of the seowon marked the popularization of culture.

Yingchuan Academy is a very good example, and the history books record that the famous people of the Han and Wei dynasties came out of Yingchuan, which is absolutely true.

Whether it is Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Zhuge Cunfu, Sima Yi, etc., they have all entered Yingchuan Academy.

However, all of this is due to their willingness to learn.

"Give them eligible residents to enroll, and each family will be given a subsidy of 500 copper coins per year, and the only requirement is to send the children to study in the academy."

"The lord is wise." Tian Zhong praised him.

Then he withdrew from the mansion, and secretly hummed in his heart, isn't it just to smash it with money? I thought I hadn't thought of it, and if it weren't for the fear that you would say that I was corrupt, I would have done it a long time ago.

Lu Chen naturally didn't know Tian Zhong's thoughts, but went to the gate of Dongyuan, but he didn't see the maid, nor did he see Su Xiaomo, he wanted to enter it, but his hesitant feet never stepped in.

That's when it happened.

He didn't notice the girl Ah Yan appearing behind him, watching his hesitant movements.

Lu Chen still stepped in, he tiptoed along the courtyard wall, until he reached the courtyard door, and did not find the girl Ah Yan following him.

Gently push the door open.

There was silence inside, as if no one was there.

Lu Chen wondered, Su Xiaomo took them shopping? Still is? It's time to go back to Zhongyuan! Lu Chen fantasized for a long time.

He wanted to return.

Bang,

happened to collide with Ah Yan, a girl who was hiding outside the door after him.

Fortunately.

Lu Chen's vigorous skills hugged her fiercely, so as not to let her fall to the ground, otherwise this porcelain doll-like girl would probably have to fall and be injured.

The screen pauses for a few seconds.

The girl, Ayan, looked at the man in front of her in a daze, blushing and trying to struggle away, but the other party didn't seem to feel her reluctance.

"You ......"

Until the girl Ah Yan blushed and spoke hesitantly.

Lu Chen suddenly smiled and asked, "Ah, little girl, are you okay?" But he didn't have the slightest sense of letting go, helplessly, although this Lu Chen is a married man, he is still slow in terms of emotion.

The girl Ah Yan blushed and shook her head, and said hesitantly: "No, it's okay, can you let me go?" ”

"Oh, sorry, I'm in a hurry, you're fine." Lu Chen smiled, and when he saw that the girl was indeed fine, he immediately asked again: "By the way, where did my wife go?" Why didn't you see her come back? ”

The girl Ah Yan suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, and replied softly: "Mrs. Su went to collect medicine with the old doctor, and it will take about a week to come back." ”

"Oh. All right! Lu Chen responded, and then looked at himself in disappointment and walked towards Zhongyuan, thinking that Su Xiaomo was going to give himself a chance, but he found that he was thinking too much about himself.

Think about it before entering the game, I don't want to hug my daughter-in-law I can hug my daughter-in-law, I want to sleep with my daughter-in-law and sleep with my daughter-in-law, but now after entering the game, I find that this is not as good as reality, woo woo.

Then.

The two maids happened to meet Lu Chen, who had just come out of the East Garden, and immediately hurried to the side of the girl Ah Yan, and Lu Chen heard a voice: "Miss, what did the disciple do to you?" ”

Lu Chen stumbled a few times, almost fell into the lake in the courtyard, and burst out of his mouth.

Three days passed.

The problem of the academy began to bear fruit, but many of the children of the peasant households still refused to send them to the academy, saying that helping with the fields was much higher than 500 copper coins, and they refused to send the peasant children to the academy even if they were killed.

Lu Chen had to double the price, and in the end, some farmers were finally willing to relent.

The first batch of students of Xingluo Academy was officially enrolled, with a total of 3,169 students and 670 tutors, and the dean was temporarily served by Tian Zhong.

Same on this day.

Good news came from the manufacturing department, the first weapon drawing was successfully developed.

Simple tips

Attributes: The tip of the simple spear, 0.36 meters long, the tip of the gun is extremely sharp, the middle is diamond-shaped, the sides are like blades, and the tail can be connected to 1.9 meters of hardwood.

Material: Iron Moltonium

When Lu Chen arrived, the first hardwood spear had been assembled, the gun was 2.3 meters long, weighed 12.6 kilograms, the head of the gun accounted for 5.8 kilograms, and the hardwood and the tail of the gun weighed 6.8 kilograms.

The sharpness is comparable to that of a worn machete, and it is made of ordinary iron, which can finally be exchanged for a shotgun and slaughter the bandits.

Lu Chen took back the Heavenly Punishment Spear and told the R&D Department to continue to research on saddles, stirrups, leather armor, iron shields, and iron helmets, while the blacksmith shop continued to build hardwood spears.

At the same time, he was happy, but he didn't know that in the Nihetun mine, a war broke out.

Outside the fence.

Tens of thousands of masked players began to surround them, and defending the perimeter of the wall were 800 Beifu troops, the resistance of wooden shields, the fight of machetes, and the stubborn resistance outside the wall, with the posture of one enemy and one hundred.

Behind the player's army are 4,000 Han soldiers, 12,000 bandits, 3,000 Hun cavalry, and nearly 30,000 troops, all surrounded by the Nihetun mine.

The leaders in front are familiar players Pan Wenlong and Lin Jun, and then Yang Feng, the leader of the Bandit Alliance, and the leader of the Huns (Han military captain).

"This place is really a mine, and it can be regarded as a trip in vain, haha." The leader of the Huns looked at the Beifu army that was resisting to the death in front, and the miners who had begun to panic behind him, and he took the lead and laughed.

"Hmph, this place is my Yangzhai, if you Huns want to get it, you will divide my Yangzhai into 30%, and you have to sell me 3,000 war horses." Yang Feng said suddenly.

Pan Wenlong and Lin Jun laughed secretly in the back, the Huns wanted mines, the bandits wanted war horses, and the two of them wanted Xingluo Town and grain, but this was enough, at least they were willing to send troops to deal with Xingluo Town.

Of course, all of this is due to Zhang Ning.

At this moment, Zhang Ning had already led 3,000 soldiers to the north of Xingluo Town, intending to sneak in at night by the north gate of Songhe.

Return to Starfall Town.

As soon as Lu Chen left the equipment department, the scout hurriedly came to report: "Lord, there are a large number of enemies coming outside the town, and General Ayu has already arranged a defense on the city wall. ”

Lu Chen didn't say a word, and immediately rushed towards the stone-walled city tower at the main gate, and at the same time, the guards had already closed the four city gates and went up to the city tower, and he saw that Ah Yu and others were already around the defense.

"My lord, they are aliens."

Ah Yu saw Lu Chen, and said the first sentence, which was to explain the race in front of him, probably because of the reason for the location in the secluded and secluded two places, the customs and habits here have already begun to slowly merge, such as the Liaodong three-horse dealer he saw before, the first time Lu Chen thought they were Han, but the second time he came, people told him that they were all Wuhuan people, but in fact it did not affect Lu Chen's demand for war horses, and similarly, a batch of war horses that were set for next year's demand.

And at this time, the alien invasion, the first thing he thought of was!
