After sleeping until he woke up naturally, Yuan Yao walked out of the door comfortably and stretched out in the yard, another day full of vitality.

instructed Wei Zhongxian to arrange an afternoon meal, Yuan Yao called Dong Bai and Cai Yan to dine together, Yuan Yao, who was thinking about it, didn't notice that Dong Bai's eyes were full of resentment at the dinner table.

Cai Yan was indifferent and had no waves.

Fortunately, women in this era do not have a small temper, but they appreciate straight men like Yuan Yao who are busy with business.

In addition, after Chang'an and his party, Dong Bai had already given a heart to Yuan Yao, not only did he not complain, but he also kept adding food to Yuan Yao very considerately, and he was as virtuous as a little woman.

After eating, Yuan Yao still didn't see Liu Ji's shadow, thinking that it was hundreds of thousands of homeless people who settled down that he couldn't get away.

Jiujiang County suddenly increased its population by hundreds of thousands, and even for the Yuan family, which had a big family, it was quite stressful.

Liu Ji led the generals to settle the displaced people in various estates in Jiujiang County, and mobilized the strength of the entire Yuan family in the name of Yuan Yao, so that the counties of Yangzhou could quickly mobilize grain.

Fortunately, the grain harvest in each estate is not bad, and with the grain mobilized from various places, it can barely last for a month or two.

After handing over the trivial matters to Liu Ji, Yuan Yao practiced the Nine Transformations of the Hidden Dragon at home, while taking Dong Bai and Cai Yan to wander around, waiting for He Shen's arrival while learning about the people's livelihood.

During this period, I spent a few days going to Shouchun, and after visiting Yuan Yin, I called Zhang Liao and Tai Shici together, and asked the two to gather more than 2,000 young and strong people in public among the homeless, and the two trained day and night in the manor.

Yuan Yao appointed Xu Rong as the commander of the cavalry, but because Xu Rong and He Shen were still in Nanyang, the cavalry was temporarily commanded by Huang Zhong.

This Xiliang cavalry inherited the title of Dong Zhuo's elite Flying Bear Army, known as the Flying Bear Iron Cavalry, due to the stocking problem of a large number of war horses, the barracks of the Flying Bear Iron Cavalry were installed on the south side of the Shaobi Manor.

Regarding the appointment of the generals of Xiliang, it was Liu Ji's suggestion, and Yuan Yao directly chose to agree after reading Liu Ji's letter.

Xu Rong is a native of Liaodong, but he has excellent command ability, whether it is defeating Sun Jian or defeating Cao Cao, it shows this person's strong military ability.

Letting an excellent foreign commander lead also minimizes the hidden danger of raising private soldiers, and it just so happens that Xu Rong was once the old boss of some of them, so it is more convenient to command.

Meantime.

Let Huang Zhong and Xu Rong be together, on the one hand, considering Huang Zhong's absolute loyalty, it can play a role in counterbalancing Xu Rong.

On the other hand, it is because of Huang Zhong's own strong force, he can have an absolute hole card to suppress the whole field when fighting in front of the battle and leading the army to kill.

Tai Shici and Zhang Liao are Liu Ji's little thoughts.

Taking advantage of the reason why Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are familiar with each other, the two fell to Yuan Yao's side, and saw if he could use Zhang Liao's relationship to make Gao Shun, who had nothing to do, train the soldiers and horses of the two into a new trap.

After all, Gao Shun's trapped camp made Zhang Liao highly admired.

Yuan Yao, who drank decoction and cultivated every day, was not idle, and took advantage of the time period when He Shen bought food to directly take Xu Chu and five hundred guards south and went to the naval camp in Moling.

Qi Jiguang respectfully welcomed Yuan Yao into the main account, but there was confusion on his face, he didn't know what was the matter with Yuan Yao coming in such a hurry.

Until he followed Yuan Yao and quietly came to a sparsely populated riverside.

After three days of cold wind blowing by the two of them accompanied by five hundred guards, Yuan Yao was stunned by Qi Jiguang and Xu Chu, and after conjuring a giant on the river out of thin air, everyone directly opened their mouths.

"Lord, this..."Qi Jiguang was surprised, and then looked at Yuan Yao tremblingly, with a dazzling light in the shaking of his body, and looked at Yuan Yao excitedly: "As long as there are ten such warships, I dare to attack Liu Biao immediately!" ”

Seeing Qi Jiguang, who was opening his mouth, Yuan Yao glanced at it speechlessly, and then said indifferently: "You think too much, just this one." ”

In fact, not to mention Qi Jiguang, even Yuan Yao was shocked when he saw such a scale of warship, and after the group stepped on the warship, Yuan Yao understood what it meant to be stable and domineering.

Whether it is the workmanship materials of the warship or the comfort level, Yuan Yao is very satisfied.

Moreover, the entire warship has four floors, and the layout and lighting in the cabin are very humane, even Yuan Yao is very excited.

If it weren't for Liu Biao's unwielding it, Yuan Yao would have wanted to treat this thing as his own private car, which was simply a luxury cruise ship in this era, and finally in Yuan Yao's reluctant gaze, he gritted his teeth and handed it over to Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang was also very amused when he saw Yuan Yao's demeanor: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely go back and study it well, and strive to mass produce such a warship." ”

"You take it back and study it?" Hearing Qi Jiguang's words, Yuan Yao seemed to be a little interested for a moment, and asked.

"That's... In fact, not only do I know how to train and fight, but I also like to make weapons, and I have my craftsmen build the new warships of our sailors according to my design drawings. ”

Seeing Yuan Yao's surprised eyes, Qi Jiguang replied a little embarrassed, and then took out a drawing in his arms and handed it to Yuan Yao's hand.

Yuan Yao unexpectedly took the drawings handed over by Qi Jiguang, and after seeing the neat design drawings on them, he was surprised and excited at the same time.

Unexpectedly, this Qi Jiguang is not only able to train and fight, but also a craftsman, and may even be an inventor, which makes Yuan Yao feel like he has picked up a treasure, and he is very touched.

In addition to being excited, Yuan Yao not only gave him the design of the treasure ship, but also threw two long-range catapults attacking Wu County to Qi Jiguang, so that he could also study them by the way.

After experiencing Yuan Yao's transformation into a big ship out of thin air, the rest of the people have gradually adapted to Yuan Yao's ability to create things out of thin air, although they were surprised in their hearts, but they tacitly did not get to the bottom of it. щщщ.щèńχūè⒈Θм

When Yuan Yao left, Qi Jiguang asked the name of the warship, and Yuan Yao replied with a red face: "Yuan's treasure ship." ”

No matter what Qi Jiguang's sailors will develop into in the future, at least for now, this so-called Yuan's treasure ship has directly become the main battleship of the sailors.

Even just one ship greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the entire naval division.

After satisfying his curiosity, Yuan Yao led Xu Chu and five hundred guards back to Shaobi Manor, where he met He Shen, who came to transport grain, and Xu Rong, who escorted grain and grass.

He Shen spent all his money, not only brought back a large amount of food, but also recruited tens of thousands of displaced people again.

However, due to the huge amount of grain, even with the addition of tens of thousands of displaced people, before the autumn harvest, Yuan Yao was able to ensure the basic rations of these people.

Xu Rong, who escorted grain and grass, learned that he was appointed as the commander of the cavalry, and personally came to meet Yuan Yao that night.

When everything gradually got back on track, Yuan Yao summoned He Shen and Wei Zhongxian to discuss.

"Wei Zhongxian, I didn't expect you to be so good at intelligence work, since this is the case, why don't I simply set up an intelligence department and hand it over to you to manage it in the future, what do you think?"
