Huo Quai's words counted, and sure enough, he led the orphans of Yulin that night and moved over to eat and live with the servants; Moreover, the daily training of the soldiers has not relaxed at all.

Every morning, when the rooster crows all over the place, the field camp begins to practice, crawling and rolling, bending bows and riding and shooting, and there is no shortage of everything.

When the servants got up for breakfast, just after the morning training was over, they ran back and gobbled up for a while, and then went to work with the servants.

After a hard day, when the servants were squatting in the courtyard chatting and bragging, Huo Qubing took the Yulin orphans out for night training, and after tossing a stinky sweat, he dragged his tired body back to sleep......

……

After two or three days of watching from the sidelines, Yang Chuan finally couldn't help it.

It can't go on like this, the orphans in Yulin are all half-sized, and the oldest is Huo Quzhi, who is only fifteen years old, and is in the stage of growing his body and bones, so he can't bear such high-intensity labor and training.

The only thing that made him happy was that Huo Quzhi was really a ruthless person, and when he said it, he really got along with the servants on Yang Chuan Zhuangzi, and he was no longer a high-minded second-hand man.

Even, he suggested to Yang Chuan that the weather was getting hotter, and he should cut some thin clothes for those servants.

Yang Chuan agreed without hesitation, took out some linen, animal skins, sheepskins, deer skins, etc. stored at home, and personally designed some 'spring clothes' with shoulders and big pants, and let those women cut them.

In addition, the relationship between Huo Quzhi and Li Kang seems to have eased a lot, at least, they will quarrel and needle against Mai Mang when they don't meet again, and no one will let anyone; It's just that Li Kang was always not convinced by Huo Quzhi, but was convinced by Yang Chuan.

Regarding this, Yang Chuan always felt a little incredible, no matter how you look at it, as a Yulin Lang, the mighty and handsome Huo Quzhi, shouldn't he be the object of his worship?

Of course, these trivial matters are not too important, anyway, these two people don't want to become a 'nirvana', and Yang Chuan's progress in helping Huo Qu change his life against the sky will not be too affected.

He was basically satisfied with such a result.

"Go sick, you can't practice like this."

At dinner on this day, Yang Chuan looked at the staggering Yulin orphans, and said very seriously: "We are still young now, we are growing our bodies, we should strengthen physical training, and then gradually increase our strength." ”

Huo went to eat with his head bored and didn't say anything, looking very unconvinced.

Yang Chuan sighed and turned his head to look at Cao Xiang: "What's the situation on your side now?" The dam is closed, the sluice gates are functioning normally, and our mill should be put into use, right? ”

"Who wants to know, Ben Hou is too lazy to go to the embankment to command." Cao Xiang muttered weakly.

What's wrong with this thing? Didn't you secretly run to 'hold eggs' and hatch ducklings?

Yang Chuan has been busy debugging the new foot plow these days, and he has no time to supervise the work on the embankment, so he simply assigned all the work there to Cao Xiang.

Unexpectedly.

Why does this thing seem to be in a low mood, everything is wilted, and the dejected appearance makes Yang Chuan annoyed for a while, and he slapped his huge head with his hand: "You want to go back to Chang'an City, right?" ”

Cao Xiang scolded aggrievedly: "Ben Hou has such a big formation, and those evil young people in Chang'an City can't see it, what's the point?" By the way, there are also my uncle, Gongsun Hong, Zheng Shi and those bullshit civil and military officials, there are no big names present, even if I pierce the sky, it won't be interesting......"

Yang Chuan understood.

Feelings are the pretending to be sick of this big man Pingyang Hou?

Let Cao Xiang say this, Yang Chuan really feels that it is not good to deal with this matter in a low-key manner, isn't his original intention to let water wheels, water mills, water mills, water mills and other tools come out in advance?

"Go to the sick, go back and write a daily training plan for the field camp, and I will formulate a complete set of dietary and supply regulations according to the physical consumption of the brothers, so as not to waste everyone's training."

Yang Chuan groaned a few times, turned his head and said to Cao Xiang: "As for the problems you mentioned, they are not problems, you just have to hurry up and work, and within five days, all the water wheels, water mills, water mills, and water mills will be installed and debugged."

Don't worry, let's do a big thing this time! ”

"Really?" Cao Xiang sat up straight, rubbed his hands with a smile, "Do you want me to go to Chang'an City and trick my uncle to come over?" ”

Yang Chuan shook his head and scolded with a smile: "Isn't it just a few broken water wheels and broken water mills, and you still want the emperor to give you a platform?" ”

Cao Xiang laughed and couldn't help but recite a poem, but this thing searched his intestines and scraped his stomach for several breaths, and he didn't expect a 'famous sentence for the ages' that was suitable for the occasion, so he had to give up stupidly......

……

There are too many things at hand, Yang Chuan is busy all day and night, but he always feels that there is not enough time.

However, as a qualified cook, taking care of everything, mastering the heat, and taking care of the dishes is not what he is best at?

The affairs of the field camp can be delayed a little, anyway, with Huo Quai's stubborn temper, he will not hit the south wall and will not look back, and it will not be too late to make some reasonable adjustments when he finds that there is a problem with his all-weather training.

The new foot plough has almost been debugged, as long as there is enough steel, plus Zhuo's blacksmith shop, the imperial court master and the blacksmith shop on Yang's Zhuangzi, it will take more than ten days to cast about 10,000 frames, although it can't be implemented to the entire Guanzhong land, but as long as this head is opened, it is not a matter of Liu Che's words?

After all the calculations, Cao Xiang's side has become a top priority.

So, Yang Chuan took a little time and wrote three letters, one of which was addressed to Princess Pingyang and Wei Qing, asking them to find a way to invite some "suitable nobles" to participate in Cao Xiang's pretending ceremony.

The second letter was written for Cao Xiang, inviting the Prime Minister's Mansion, Da Nong Ling and other yamen to send officials and craftsmen to come to Yang's fiefdom to "examine" Pingyang and wait for more than three years of hard thinking and meditation before designing and producing a batch of farm tools, and attached several copies of "farm tool patterns" such as water mills, water mills, and water wheels for discussion.

The third letter was also written on behalf of Cao Xiang, but it was directly instructed to the wicked young men in Chang'an City, so that they would come over to visit the spring, play, and see the women in five days.

In this letter, Yang Chuan specially told that Yang's Zhuangzi was so poor that he didn't even have a decent jar of wine or a group of decent lambs, and naturally there was no grain, venison, bear's paws, musicians, cooks, dancers, gold, vegetable seeds, and flower seeds......

In short, in a nutshell: when you come, try to bring as many gifts as possible.

Holding the two letters he "ghostwrote", Yang Chuan found Cao Xiang, who was busy on the dam, and asked him to sign it after looking at it.

"Yes, hahaha, although the writing is not as good as Benhou's, the meaning is clear."

Cao Xiang read the two letters and laughed: "However, you have to add a sentence to the letter to the gentlemen of Chang'an City, let them bring their sisters and sisters who have not come out of the cabinet to marry, otherwise, get out of the way!" ”

Yang Chuan was stunned and asked, "Can you still write like this?" ”

Cao Xiang sneered and scolded: "What do you think those bullshit things think? I am the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, you are the righteous son of Princess Pingyang and Hussar General Wei Qing, Huo Qubing is my uncle's heart, not to mention letting their sisters and sisters marry into our family as wives, it is to let a few of us sleep in vain, for them, it can be regarded as a big advantage!

You can rest assured to write it, anyway, my Cao Xiang's reputation is not good, and they will come up with it instead. ”

Yang Chuan nodded, and asked with some concern: "Let's mess around like this, don't be discounted by your uncle......

Cao Xiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, if we don't mess around, my uncle will think about breaking the dog's legs, and even maybe even think about cutting off our dog's head." ”

Yang Chuan pondered again and again, and felt that Cao Xiang's words should be reasonable, so he added with confidence: "Take your sister, bring your sister, and come to my house in that carriage......"

……

In the next two or three days, Yang Chuan stepped up the speed to debug the new step plow.

This kind of step plow, can be flipped left and right, the structure is simple, only a cow, a horse, and even a donkey from the Western Regions can also pull, the depth of the plough can be adjusted according to the need, up to seven inches.

For the current farming conditions of the Han Empire, this improvement alone can increase the speed of reclamation by about five times, and at the same time, it can also save a lot of human and animal labor.

In this way, if Liu Che can promote the foot plow, within ten years, the cultivated land area of the Han Empire will increase by three or five times without any problem.

Moreover, because of the ability to plough deeply, the water storage capacity of the land will also be greatly enhanced, and the grain output will naturally increase significantly.

Water mill, water wheel, water mill, water mill, new step plow......

The display and promotion of this pile of new agricultural tools must be unexpected, and spread out in one go, otherwise, when those big dogs react, they will definitely become a 'patented product', and after making money from the court, they will turn around and go to the people to die.

it.

Therefore, on the evening of the fourth day, Yang Chuan walked out of the warehouse, intending to arrange the 'Pingyang Hou Farm Tools Expo', but he only walked two or three steps out of the house and noticed that something was wrong.

Everywhere there were brightly armored soldiers.

See these soldiers!

How to say it, if the armor, blades and war horses of the Yulin Army can be regarded as the most elite youth army of the Han Empire, these soldiers in front of them are the most fierce veterans of the Han Empire.

These taciturn veterans are generally older, many of them have frost on their temples, and the scars on their faces, hands and other exposed skin are shocking.

The Emperor's Guard?

Or the most elite Northern Army of the Han Empire?

Yang Chuan walked slowly and looked at it with a confused face, looking like he had never seen anything in the world, which made Wei Qing, who was standing on a high platform not far away, smile dumbly: "Yang Chuan, come here." ”

Yang Chuan raised his eyes and saw Wei Qing, who was dressed in ordinary armor, standing on the high platform and looking at him, with no expression on his ordinary black and purple face, but the smile contained in the corner of his eyes made him feel warm.

"Father-in-law, why are you here?" Yang Chuan quickly climbed the high platform, looked around, and was taken aback when he landed, "This battle is too big, right?" ”

Raise your eyes and look around, there are veterans who have experienced a hundred battles everywhere, a team is arranged neatly, hunting with flags, and the cowhide tents are divided into four directions: east, west, south and north, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

Yang's Zhuangzi, the center of this large camp, was arranged as a camp, a large circle of giant wooden fortifications, silent, two or three hundred giant crossbow machines hidden behind the wall......

Yang Chuan was dumbfounded.

In the morning, he led his cousin and his father into the warehouse, busy digging iron, debugging the foot plow, and eating a few bites of pot helmets, cold elbow flowers, cold-cut mutton and so on for lunch.

Unexpectedly, when he went out in the evening, his fiefdom turned into a huge military camp!

This hand alone was enough to make him, a cook, dumbfounded.

By the way, why hasn't Sister Leopard seen her in the past few days, didn't she go to the depths of the Qinling Mountains to engage in a partner?

Facing a large area of majestic and murderous military camps, Yang Chuan suddenly thought of Sister Leopard, which made him a little funny, and his nervous mood gradually calmed down.

"Father-in-law, what's going on?" Yang Chuan asked with some apprehension.

Wei Qing said lightly: "The emperor is coming." ”

Liu Che is finally about to make his official debut.
