When Zhang Yuqing was planning the iron mine, he set aside a piece of land next to the mine, leveled the rocks, and built houses and factories for miners and blacksmiths.

As the business gets bigger and bigger, more and more people are building, and more and more houses are being built here.

After this period of training, the young blacksmiths have become more and more proficient, and after Zhang Yuqing saw a few weapons, he made two requests to the leading blacksmith.

"I want to build a longbow, one person high, five hundred stone strength can be pulled." Zhang Yuqing said.

The leading blacksmith smiled: "Madam, don't worry, this matter is easy to do." "It's nothing more than using more fine iron, forging and hammering.

When Zhong He, who was accompanying him, heard such a good bow, his eyes lit up instantly.

Madame must have made it for him.

"Not only that, I want this bow to be detachable, and after disassembly, it can be assembled into something other inconspicuous, and after being reassembled and assembled, it will be a strong bow with a range of several miles!" Zhang Yuqing said.

The leading blacksmith was in his thirties, and he didn't agree, and said calmly: "Let's go back and discuss, see how this bow is played, and strive to make a satisfactory bow for Madame!" ”

Zhang Yuqing took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket, on which was drawn a strange thing and a few lines of words, "There is one more." ”

"It's ...... Crossbow machine? Can at least fifteen beads in a row? The more the blacksmith looked, the more frightened he became.

It was already very difficult to build a crossbow machine, let alone a repeating crossbow machine, they had never heard of such a thing.

Zhang Yuqing nodded, "Changing the crossbow arrow box must also be convenient and fast, and it will not be delayed." ”

Swords and guns alone were not enough to deter the enemy, and what she wanted was to make the enemy dare not enter within ten miles of the city.

Fang Mo followed Zhang Yuqing to inspect, listened to it, and sighed to Wang Chunniang: "Sister-in-law, why do you say that Madame's brain is so smart!" ”

He couldn't even think of these things!

Wang Chunniang smiled but did not speak, her eyes were very proud.

Zhang Yuqing looked at the blacksmiths circulating the notes, her face was sad, and she said with relief: "Make a simple crossbow machine first, and slowly improve it little by little, you can always make what you want." ”

Many blacksmiths were selected from the army, and they were originally soldiers, so they saw the significance of this thing at a glance, and said excitedly, "We also want to make such a good thing as soon as possible!" If there are a lot of these things and put them on the battlefield, we don't need our Baochuan Army brothers to fight with the Hu people, and we can directly kill the Hu people! ”

"Yes, with this thing, the Hu people have to shrink on the grassland for the rest of their lives, and they don't dare to step into our Great Xia for half a step!"

"Let's see if they dare to rob our food and kill our people!"

Zhang Yuqing smiled and looked at the group of blacksmiths, discussing what to do with the two things that Madame ordered.

Fang Mo accompanied Zhang Yuqing to watch for a morning, and finally felt the opportunity at this moment, so he leaned over and asked, "What about adults?" Didn't you come along? ”

"The adults are too busy to take care of it." Zhang Yuqing said lightly.

Zhang Yuqing went around the iron mine for a few days, seeing that everything was fine and orderly, just when everyone thought she was going to go home, she went to the salt field again, gathered a few workers from the salt factory, provided the process method, and spent more than ten days to make a few boxes of soap out, so that everyone could continue to do it according to this method, and see if they could sell it to a rich place to make some money.

Coming out of the salt farm, Zhang Yuqing went to the surrounding countryside again, went around one village after another, and every time he arrived in a village, he pulled the local people to ask if there were officials who bullied the people and what difficulties they had in life.

For a while, the officials up and down Baochuan tightened their skins, for fear that they would not do something well, so that the people would sue the Qilin Niangniang and be cleaned up by the generals.

After Zhang Yuqing's visit during this time, the atmosphere of Baochuan has become clearer, and the image of Qilin Niangniang's generosity and benevolence has become more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The matter was reported to Lu Wei's desk, and the root of Lu Wei's hatred itched.

Okay, don't stay in Baochuan City, run so far, wander around just don't go home, isn't it just to avoid him!

After hanging outside for two months, spring turns to summer, the wheat turns yellow, and soon the summer grain will be harvested.

After a few torrential rains, the Great Wall of Water was filled with water, and there were no more Hu people sneaking across the border to loot the people, as in previous years.

Lu Wei's letter once again came to Zhang Yuqing's hand, and after briefly talking about some things in the barracks, the conversation changed, saying that the Lingxiao flowers planted by Zhang Yuqing in spring by the wall had bloomed and climbed all over the wall.

The flowers bloom on the mo, and the Qing can slowly return.

After Zhang Yuqing read it, she put down the letter indifferently.

The handsome Langjun, who is less than twenty, is between a teenager and a young man, with both the youth of a teenager and the calmness of a youth. Zhang Yuqing could imagine that when Lu Wei wrote this letter, he thought about the words he used to write, his eyes were full of tender love, and he cherished her in his heart.

If she hadn't experienced all kinds of life and death before, she hadn't been hurt by this world, and she was willing to respond to Lu Wei's pure and warm feelings. Even if he knows that he will not hug the pipa in the future, Zhang Yuqing is willing to enjoy the happiness of the moment.

But alas, there are no ifs in this world.

Wang Chunniang retched a few times on the road, what she ate and vomited, Zhang Yuqing found a doctor's pulse, and it turned out to be pregnant, three months old.

This time, Zhang Yuqing didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly took Wang Chunniang back to Baochuan.

The house is still as clean as when she first left, and it is obvious that someone often comes to clean it up.

There are a few Lingxiao flowers on the wall, and they are red and bright hanging on the branches.

"Another lie!" Zhang Yuqing sneered, where is the blooming period! In order to coax her to come back quickly, Lu Wei learned to fool people.

Zhong Heniang hurriedly ran in from the outside, and said in a hurry: "Madam, it's not good, the son of the ruling family is here, and he caught Steward Du!" ”

"What's going on? Let's talk about it! Zhang Yuqing was taken aback and immediately asked.

It turned out that Shen Menglong followed the officials to Baochuan to read out his father Shen Shoushan's order, and even asked him to find Du Jingyi, shouting that Du Jingyi was a fugitive slave from his family, and wanted to take Du Jingyi back to Liangzhou City.

Fortunately, none of the people under them were vegetarians, so they stopped Shen Menglong and didn't ask him to really take people out of Baochuan.

Zhang Yuqing knew in her heart that Du Jingyi had betrayed Shen Menglong, and Miss Du, whom Shen Menglong had been using to hold Du Jingyi hostage, disappeared into the Shen Mansion inexplicably, and Shen Menglong may not have guessed that Du Jingyi's brothers and sisters were all in Baochuan.

The reason why the Shen father and son have been holding back is probably waiting for the opportunity.

When they started spring, they found an excuse to transfer Lu Wei away from Baochuan, giving the Hu people the opportunity to attack Baochuan, Lu Wei did not hesitate to openly disobey the military order in order to save the people of Baochuan, but it was a pity that God was on Lu Wei's side, Baochuan not only defended, Lu Wei also killed the prince of the Hu people, this splashing credit blocked the mouth of Youyou, so that the Shen father and son plan failed.

However, then Shen Shoushan reprimanded Lu Wei and ordered Lu Wei not to enter the barracks for a month.

Now that Shen Menglong is here, he must have a new trick and is about to turn his face.

Zhang Yuqing's carriage arrived at a teahouse in Baochuan, and before the car stopped, Zhang Yuqing immediately jumped out of the car and rushed into the teahouse.

The guests who drank tea in the teahouse were almost gone, the first floor was empty, and the shopkeeper and the servant were far away, not daring to say anything.

Shen Menglong was wearing a white Hangzhou silk robe, wearing a white jade crown on his head, shaking a folding fan with gold trim in his hand, sitting at the table in the middle and drinking tea.

Du Jingyi was escorted by several guards and stood in front of Shen Menglong. The people on their side guarded the door and resolutely did not let Shen Menglong out.

Seeing Zhang Yuqing coming, he made way for the guards who were surrounded at the door.

"Yo! Mrs. Lu is here! What a coincidence! Shen Menglong put down the teacup with a smile, looked Zhang Yuqing up and down, and sighed in his heart that landing is really blessed!

But it doesn't matter, when their father and son finish cooking Lu Wei, such a beautiful Mrs. Lu will be his.

Zhang Yuqing didn't give Shen Menglong a look, ran straight to Du Jingyi, and asked with a calm face, "What's the matter?" ”

When Du Jingyi saw Zhang Yuqing's attitude, she had a bottom in her heart.

Someone asked him to come to the teahouse to talk about big business, he was not a gullible person, and brought a lot of small guards, but he didn't expect that what he saw when he came in was Shen Menglong.

Du Jingyi knew that he was cheap, Shen Menglong was the son of the ruler, Zhang Yuqing and Lu Wei were probably not willing to tear their faces directly with Shen Shoushan because of him.

When he was caught by Shen Menglong's guards, he was already prepared for the worst.

He had betrayed Shen Menglong and knew many unsavory secrets of the Shen family, and Shen Menglong would not let him live. As long as Zhang Yuqing is willing to take care of his sister and save his sister's life, he will die without regrets.

But when Zhang Yuqing was Shen Menglong, Du Jingyi knew it.

Zhang Yuqing will not treat him as an outcast.

Du Jingyi put on her signature smile again and said, "Actually, ......"

"Forget it, don't say it, it's like that anyway, you can guess it." Zhang Yuqing waved her hand, looked left and right on Du Jingyi's face, frowned and said, "You were beaten?" ”

Du Jingyi pointed at Shen Menglong and said, "This person beat him." ”

Zhang Yuqing waved his hand at the people at the door, and more than thirty strong men rushed up and rescued Du Jingyi from the Shen family's guards.

Shen Menglong was annoyed, slapped the table and shouted, "Mrs. Lu, you deceive people too much!" This person is my fugitive slave, and I haven't been able to find him, but I didn't expect to hide in your Baochuan, and quickly return this person to me, and if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, this matter is not over! ”

"You just hit him?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Shen Menglong was choked and sneered: "He is my family's fugitive slave, what's wrong with me beating him?" ”

Zhang Yuqing looked back at Du Jingyi's face, looked Shen Menglong up and down, as if he was looking for something, suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped Shen Menglong's face.
