99. Peace of mind

Ride and slash the world.

Noon.

In the lord's hall, Zhang Qi was dining, and since there were craftsmen who were able to produce ceramics, his residence had a lot of pottery furnishings.

Nowadays, the bowls for eating and the dishes for serving dishes are also as white as snow and extremely ceramic.

Zhang Qi just mentioned that a mouthful of bones can also be used to fire ceramics, but he didn't expect it to be really made out by craftsmen and wolf cubs.

He didn't know how many failures he had experienced during this period, but the results were already there, and the refining techniques were also recorded, and as for those processes, it didn't matter if he knew them or not.

The lunch at noon was quite simple, a charcoal-grilled leg of lamb, a stack of fried meat with chili, a roast duck, and a bowl of pumpkin soup.

He didn't eat alone, Hu Ling was there, and the three craftsmen were there.

While eating, Zhang Qi said: "Lime, clay, iron-making waste residue, crushed and mixed with water, and then calcined in a kiln. ”

"The process is such a process, I don't know much more specifically, I only know that the fire temperature required is higher, you take the time to study and study with those juniors, anyway, what I need is the agglomeration after calcination, grinding into fine powder and mixing with sand and water to harden something."

While speaking, Zhang Qi used chopsticks to give each of the three craftsmen a chopstick dish.

The three craftsmen looked at each other, they have been here for several years, This is the first time to eat at the same table with Zhang Qi, The mood is a little surging, who is Zhang Qi?

He was a 'child of heaven' who was favored by the gods.

The three craftsmen buried themselves in the work and nodded again and again in response to Zhang Qi's request.

Hu Ling on the side waited for Zhang Qi, putting vegetables on his plate from time to time, and then recorded everything he had just said.

The meal is not long or short, Zhang Qi mainly wanted to inform the three craftsmen to test the cement, and when he came, he was just in time for lunch, so he simply added vegetables and left them down.

From last night to now, he has been resting for more than ten hours in the riding and chopping world, and there are also thirty or forty minutes in the outside world, ready to prepare, he is also going out.

This time, in addition to the plough frame and some basic supplies, he also planned to take thirty khan's personal guards.

The blessing of the town of Tosillonia, since he could garrison the army, he took people out to recruit NPC soldiers whenever he was free, and after a year or two, the number of more than 300 garrisons in the city has been filled, most of them are Cusette troops, and the rest are legionary infantry and mounted cavalry.

The monthly military expenses of more than 300 garrisons are quite a lot, but fortunately, the business of striking iron and boiling sugar is booming, and he has found a few more wanderer NPCs, and his dinar has been growing.

Now he has more than 20 million dinars, which is 200,000 catties when converted into the amount he has brought out.

If you bring all the grain and grass, then 200,000 catties of food is enough for 20,000 people to eat for half a month.

Of course, this is the most unreasonable approach, he wants to bring weapons that are ahead of the times, excellent horse breeds, and crops.

——

Xianbei royal court yurt.

The sudden appearance of more than 30 people startled the female soldiers who usually guarded Zhang Qi, but soon they all calmed down.

This has happened before, but not as many people as this time.

Looking at these exquisite armor, the female soldiers knew that their own monarch had another terrifying force.

"Take them to Ma Gui and assist the Eagle Army."

Knowing that the place where he disappeared would be guarded, Zhang Qi gave the order directly after he appeared.

The female soldiers surrendered their promise, and then took away the thirty Khan's guards and their horses.

Zhang Qi's spirit was more radiant than before, and the more than ten hours of rest completely swept away the fatigue he had accumulated while drinking.

With his hands behind his back, Zhang Qi walked out of the royal court's yurt.

There are no herdsmen in the Xianbei tribe who used to walk around, and last night's battle made all the Xianbei people dare not walk around, and no one knows if these people will kill people indiscriminately.

In a dilapidated yurt, apparently half smaller than the one next to it, a woman comforts two crying children.

Her man had died in the previous struggle, and someone had brought back her man's body, and it was customary for her and her children and her man's possessions to belong to the man who brought back his man's body.

But what no one expected was that the day after they moved to the man's yurt, the man who was also her man died.

The people of the tribe regarded her as a bad thing, and although they did not expel her for the sake of her man, the cattle, sheep and wealth that originally belonged to her family were taken away by the tribe.

Even the dilapidated yurt was newly made from the rags she had picked up.

"Auntie, I'm hungry."

In the woman's arms, the small child looked at his mother aggrievedly with a pair of clean eyes.

With the other hand, the girl who didn't dare to speak also nodded silently.

The woman sighed.

Normally, she could have gone to the woods to pick up things that others didn't eat or weren't used to eating to satisfy her hunger, but today, she really didn't dare venture out.

Because she knows that once she is gone, her two children will most likely be gone.

"Aji, Ahua, my good boy, bear with me, A-Niang can't find anything today, good."

She lovingly touched the hair of the two children in her arms, and a few painful colors flashed in the woman's numb eyes.

The area around the yurt was already noisy, and as a woman who grew up on the prairie, she knew nothing more than what was going on around her, rape and plunder, and it was time to come.

I just hope that after those men are satisfied, they won't be beastly and make a move on her children.

Although the steppe people do not kill children on horseback, there are always some unfortunate people who die at the hands of those who are brutal every year.

The woman hugged the child tighter, quietly waiting for fate to come.

The curtain of the yurt was lifted, and a few pieces of rotten wood used to block the door were kicked open at will.

The children exclaimed, and the woman closed her eyes in agony.

"Your family is just you and the two children, right, register and I'll distribute food to you later."

The crisp voice made the woman jerk her head up.

It was a woman's voice, not a man's.

Seeing that the woman was stunned, the female soldier who came in shouted again: "Just the three of you, right?" ”

The woman nodded sluggishly.

The female soldier didn't say much, but drew three circles on the cloth, one of which added a horizontal to represent the adult, and one of the remaining two circles dotted two dots for the girl, and one dotted for the boy.

After the record was completed, the female soldier nodded: "Don't run around in the yurt, someone will come to give you food later, just find a way to cook it yourself and eat it, there will be a few days later, don't save it." ”

After speaking, the female soldier lowered the curtain and left, and there were still many yurts in the area she was responsible for that had not been registered, and there was no delay.
