In the Imperial Royal Garden, Princess Xiyun, who was pruning flowers, put down the sharp knife in her hand, put the bouquet on the bottle, and walked to the dressed Coffey.

Xiyun had a smile on his cheeks, but he looked at Kofei with a coarse expression: "I heard that in five days, you are going back to the north, right?" ”

Kofi: "Yes, Your Highness. ”

Xiyun nodded: "After graduating this year, I rarely go back to the imperial capital, right?" ”

Coffey looked at Xiyun and nodded. As a girl, Coffey understood what His Highness had summoned him and what he meant by saying it now.

Xiyun chuckled and walked away slowly, fiddling with a model of a military airship with his back to Kofi, and said, "Grand Duke Dragon's Tooth is an important minister of the Empire, and sister, as a rookie of the Empire, many people are watching you. ”

Coffey: "Your Highness, I know what you mean. ”

Xiyun smiled back and asked, "I'm not interesting?" I mean, sister, it's cold in the north, drink more hot water along the way. ”

【In the Sky Tower, the dormitory area of the Mechanical College. 】

Leaning on the staircase, Bing checked the dust behind him and instructed, "If there is a quarrel, remember to help me out." Let me get out, your role today is to stabilize the atmosphere, you know? ”

Dusty nodded, "Understood." But Chenjia then asked curiously, "Master, do you need this?" ”

Binghe said as if facing a great enemy: "Prevention is better than prevention." ”

After hesitating, Chenjia finally said: "Sister Liyun looks very gentle, are you making a big fuss?" ”

Binghe raised his finger: "The relationship between people is different, and the relationship between him and you is an ordinary relationship between sisters and brothers, but you don't know a few years ago, when I dealt with her, hey." Binghe covered his eyes with one hand, looking unbearable.

A few minutes later, at the door of the classroom, Liyun saw a happy expression on Binghe's face, but after taking two steps, there was timidity on his face, and he opened his mouth when he came to Binghe, and finally said embarrassedly: "Hello, uncle." ”

Binghe, who was concerned about how much taller he was than Liyun, first breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this title, then was vigilant, and then finally reacted, and said in a time-lapse emotional tone: "Hey, I've finally grown up." ”

Binghe: "Is there enough pocket money to spend?" Liyun nodded.

Binghe: "Are you having difficulty in your studies?" Liyun shook her head

Binghe: "No one bullied you, right?" Liyun looked up at Binghe. The straight eyes made Binghe a little stunned.

Binghe's body leaned back slightly, turned his head to Chenjia and asked, "Recently, does someone in the Mechanical Academy not give us the face of the Gun Flame Family?" ”

Chenjia: "Master, I have a stomachache and need to go to the toilet." ”

Binghe tried to reach out and grab Dust, but Dusty "stabbed" and fled.

Binghe looked at the little guy dumbfounded, and watched Dusty leave the direction blankly: "I've grown up, my wings are stiff, and I'm disobedient." ”

Binghe turned his head, but watched Liyun walk in front of him, and Binghe asked with a little nervousness: "If you have any grievances, tell me, I'll help you make the decision." ”

"Wow!" Binghe was hugged by Liyun, and his head was buried in Binghe's chest like a flood. Binghe helplessly looked at the attracted eyes around him, and hurriedly coaxed: "What's going on, don't cry, calm down." ”

However, Binghe's helplessness got Liyun's crying roar: "Why are you leaving?" The fist smashed on Binghe's back, and then he grabbed Binghe's clothes behind him and didn't let go.

After more than ten seconds, Liyun raised her head, revealing a begonia-like face after the rain, wet white cheeks, red eyes, and sobbing sound, like a milk beast rediscovering its nest in the dark jungle.

Seeing this attached face, Binghe couldn't help but silently think: "Now I am an old man or a young person." ——Should the girl in front of him use a childcare posture or a friendship and companionship?

Binghe patted Liyun on the back and said, "Okay, come home with me the day after tomorrow." ”

Three days later, the station in the northeast of the imperial capital.

Didi, fifty cars (these cars in the shape of small pickup trucks) carrying military supplies were speeding along dirt roads in the countryside of the empire. The dust kicked up forms a unique landscape.

Around the car were soldiers with guns trotting forward. These soldiers can be said to be completely lightly armed, except for firearms. All the supplies on his body were placed on the car. As for the non-commissioned officers, who were very interested in such a car, sat in the back of the truck, holding on to the iron railings. to check your troops. As for the war horses, they are also liberated. This semi-mechanized speed is very fast, the marching speed of the whole army is two or three hundred kilometers, and the troops of 1,000 people and cars transport the soldiers to the forward garrison points in batches.

The soldiers in the car felt very fresh. This feeling of effortless, speeding for tens of kilometers. In this era, it is as novel as the airplane ride at the end of the twentieth century.

Binghe is the leader of this convoy, half-open and reconnoitring the surrounding road conditions. There were no accidents along the way. There were no cases of the convoy overturning into a ditch. Still, these roads are very torturous for passengers.

After two hours of travel, the convoy came to a halt in the town of Potan.

The door of Binghe's car opened, and Coffey ran out of the passenger seat, holding on to a small tree next to him, and began to vomit. Binghe also ran out of the car, asked for a pot of water from the non-commissioned officer in the back, and ran to Coffey's side, patting her on the back while handing the water over.

Binghe said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were motion sickness." Coffey leaned weakly on the tree and said weakly, "It's just that I'm not used to it, I'm fine." Cars are good inventions. ”

Binghe looked at Coffey who couldn't move, and hung her arm on his shoulder. Carrying her, he said, "Don't be reckless. ”

Binghe picked up six groups of soldiers back and forth, and during these six round-trips, Kofei's face gradually turned pale, and he insisted on sitting with Binghe to finish all the journey.

Coffey, who was being carried by Bingnu, had a trace of blood on his pale face. At first, he took two steps, but after a few steps, he stopped holding on, and pressed half of his body weight on Binghe's shoulders. Binghe looked at Coffey and remembered the scene when he was young in his previous life, carrying a drunk buddy and walking together with a snort. A nostalgic smile appeared on his face.

Of course, this scene was seen by the knight beside Bing and remembered in his heart.

In this town, the local lord has led his family guards and greeted them with great hospitality.

The Iron Fence family, the highest inheritance is the knight. Politically attached to the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth in the north. This dependency has no legal effect. But it is better for the minor nobles to take sides and show their loyalty. This family has been in existence for three generations, loyal to the army of the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth.

They had learned by letter two days in advance that Coffey had arrived with his troops.

And today they immediately came to greet them. Of course, when he saw a large number of cars, the head of the family looked thoughtful. The sons and nephews he brought with him were looking at these new gadgets from the imperial capital with wide eyes. Mechanical products are only available to the privileged class within the empire, and for most of the world, machinery represents science fiction.

When Binghe arrived with Coffey on his shoulder, the surrounding troops immediately stood and saluted. And the Viscount Iron Fence, who was in charge of greeting him, saw this scene and immediately set his eyes on Kofei. After confirming that this is Her Royal Highness.

This viscount couldn't help but focus his eyes on Binghe, who was beside Coffey with a "kiss" attitude. The Viscount was curious about Binghe's attitude. - The Dragon's Tooth letter doesn't mention that Coffey's team is a Bing Core.

After seeing the viscount, Binghe naturally let go of Coffey. Said to the girl beside him, "Okay, you should recover." ”

After Binghe let go, a hint of complaining that 'Binghe has no knightly demeanor' flashed in Kofei's eyes. But he soon regained his strong posture. As a seventeen-year-old sighter. She walked up to the viscount and said, "Uncle Jianhammer, this time I have returned to the north, and I have trouble arranging accommodation for you again." ”

Viscount Iron Fence said: "It is the glory of the Iron Fence family to be able to serve His Royal Highness. As he said this, he unconsciously looked at Bing Nucleus behind Coffey.

There was a serious formation of soldiers and mechanics all around. Binghe padd his feet, looked east and west, and looked like he was fine. Such a misfit is indeed very striking.

As if he had noticed Viscount Iron's gaze, Coffey smiled and said, "Uncle, you should bow one more time." ”

Before the words fell, Binghe waved his hand and said, "Don't be, it's not a vassal relationship." Don't make it so formal. ”

Then he complained: "Kofei, now I won't call you Your Highness." Do you think I'm a villain? ”

Coffey paused, thinking back on the changes in his identity over the past year, and said dryly: "You, thinking too much? ”

Binghe walked up to the Iron Fence family and introduced himself: "Viscount Iron Fence, hello, my name is Binghe. Coffey's classmates in the Imperial Capital, from the Gunflame family in the north"

Such a rude performance made the people around him, the nephews and servants of the Iron Fence family frown. But when it came to the Gun Flame Family in the north, these people couldn't help but start to be in awe.

In the Northlands, the guns still maintained their politics for hundreds of years under the influence of the Grand Duke of Dragon's Tooth, and their reputation was very resounding. And recently, the limelight has been more prosperous, of course, after reporting the reputation of gunfire, the people of the Iron Fence family can't help but be moved.

Viscount Iron Fence thought of something and looked at Binghe with wide eyes, and then asked respectfully: "Excuse me, you, who are you?" ”

Binghe smiled harmlessly, waved his hand and said, "Now I'm a classmate of Kofi." It's a simple thing, you don't have to be complicated. And we're repairing it for a day. With that, Binghe turned his head and motioned to Coffey not to cause trouble.

Coffey said, "Please." ”

Halfway through, Coffey rode a horse to the front, and Viscount Iron Fence kept looking at Binghe, who was surrounded at the back of the team, and patted the horse in front of Coffey and said, "Your Highness, who is that?" ”

Coffey said lightly: "That's right, it's so approachable under the crown of the gunfire." The viscount on the side was stunned.

Coffey: "But don't have any ideas, uncle. Beside that crown was a knight sent by the royal family of Saint Sauce. ”

And just after Coffey's half-warning to the Iron Fence family.

Binghe led Chenjia to the front of the queue on horseback, and took the initiative to find the Iron Fence family to start the topic.

Binghe said: "Dare to ask Lord Viscount, what is the area of farmland in your territory. I mean, this kind of great plains. How much land you occupy. ”

The head of the Iron Fence paused and looked at Coffey, and after receiving permission, the head of the Iron Fence said, "In total, 145 meters of land (roughly forty-seven hectares). ”

Binghe snapped his fingers and said, "Your Excellency is interested in a cooperation with our Gun Flame Family?" ”

Binghe used the field to observe, from the Gun Flame family to here, a straight line of four hundred kilometers, along the way is the most fertile agricultural land. Most of this agricultural land was under the administration of the aristocracy. It is most suitable for mechanized farming.

When Binghe saw this large area of land, he suddenly thought of a farm market to house industrial machinery. Reduce the production costs of these nobles and at the same time nurture industry.

In order to create a machinery consumer market, Binghe can be said to spare no effort.

Binghe opened the technique of development, introduced mechanical sowing, mechanical harvesting, spraying herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers. This large pile is involved in the mechanical engineering and chemical industries.

Of course, these super-advanced things make the head of the backward-minded Iron Fence family confused. Mechanical farming, chemicals kill insects, weeds, and give crops. These are things that people are accustomed to in the 21st century. For these traditional knight families, they don't understand it at all.

Not only did the people of the Iron Fence family not understand, but Coffey also didn't understand what Binghe said. Keep your eyes open and look at Binghe.

Binghe opened the mirror technique as he spoke, and a huge mirror technique twenty meters long appeared on the ground. The frightened neighing of the surrounding horses.

These horses in an instant. Mistakenly thinking that there was a big hole in the ground, he immediately jumped away, thanks to the knightly horses around him.

The huge mirror surface showed a topographic map of the surrounding two hundred kilometers. Four rivers pass through large areas of fertile land, and the ships and bridges on the rivers are visible one by one. Such a clear picture shocked the people around him.

Binghe apologized for the chaos caused, then cleared his throat and said, "The Gun Flame family has received strong support from the Empire in recent years. The purpose of the Empire's resources, I know very well, is to enable the Gun Flame Family to develop newer weapons. But I feel that machinery, not just for war,"

Bing checked the iron fence master on the side: "Is the Viscount willing to cooperate with me to do an experiment?" The risk of your family's experiments is at my own risk. ”

At this time, Lord Viscount's wooden flute was not because of this production method at all, but confirmed the identity of Binghe as a high-ranking profession.

At this time, the Saint Sauk knight on the side saw that Binghe had finished speaking, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, please take back the map." The Empire's map is classified red. ”

Binghe: "Oh," the young man who was still looking flying for a second immediately turned into a child who knew that he had made a mistake, and obediently turned off the mirror technique.

Chenjia, who was riding a horse on the side, held a notebook to record this important idea of Binghe, and drew a circle with a red pen on the cost of agricultural production.

At the Viscount's behalf, the convoy left the next day.

The convoy and soldiers lined up and continued on the road.

In the car driven by Binghe, Coffey, who was sitting next to Binghe, asked, "How much is the idea you said yesterday?" ”

Binghe: "Now that we have achieved mechanized mass production, this locomotive will be controlled in the cost range of three hundred silver dollars in the future. If the machinery designed for agricultural production is carried out, it will be twenty times more efficient than the ploughing cattle. The cost of fuel consumed by the internal combustion engine is even more incomparable with livestock. Sooner or later, the empire will choose a more cost-effective mode of production. ”

Corfidai frowned slightly, "If this is really the case, then you Gunflame Family" - she wanted to say that "the Gunflame Family will replace the Dragontooth Family in the north" but she couldn't say it.

However, Binghe smiled and said to Coffey, "The Gun Flame family doesn't want to get involved in military rights. And I knew before I returned home that if I fought for military rights, there would be a lot of obstacles, so I decided to work my old job. Those of us who master mechanics and those of you who master military affairs can win together. ”

Binghe's smile is so honest and confident, like the rising sun. There is no haze to obstruct it, and there is no conspiracy to obscure it.

But this mutual gaze, ushered in the back seat of the car, critical gaze.

In the back seat, Liyun leaned forward, put her arm on the back of the driver's seat, and complained: "Uncle, don't be distracted while driving." ”
