Gongsun Yue returned to the Chamber of Commerce, chagrined.

"I'm afraid he has already been favored by the empress and princess, and in the future, he will either be a concubine or an emperor, and it will be difficult for him to go to Bashu willingly!"

Jian Canglang said helplessly: "Can't you do anything?" ”

Gongsun Yue snorted: "I will never lose to any woman!" Any! ”

Jian Canglang breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "You must not be in a hurry, you must be prepared to work hard for two or three years, as long as you ensure that Xue Mei returns to the Sword Clan before she becomes an adult." ”

"Two or three years?" Gongsun Yue's delicate body trembled, and then her eyes were firm, "Even if I work hard for ten years, I want to bring my little sister back!" ”

Hearing this, Jian Canglang's eyes were strange, and he glanced at Gongsun Yue.

Inside the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Liang Xiao was amazed while tasting tea and looking at the design drawings on the table.

This is the "profit and loss repeater" researched by Zhuge Hui and his wife!

I was actually fortunate to see the repeater developed by another Prime Minister Zhuge in this world......

Moreover, the structure of this repeater is different from that of modern restored repeaters, and it looks even more sophisticated.

The modern restored repeaters are actually mostly repeaters from the Ming Dynasty, and they have nothing to do with Zhuge Liang's profit and loss repeaters.

And the kind of repeater provided by Zhuge Hui can also fire ten rounds in succession, which makes Liang Xiao believe that the Zhuge repeater that can be used by a single person is indeed not a salvo of ten crossbow arrows at one time.

Ma Jun, the inventor of the Wei State during the Three Kingdoms period, was amazed by the Zhuge repeater after seeing it, and improved it, and could shoot fifty crossbow arrows at a time, but because of the complex production, the crossbow arrows must also be specially made, which was quite troublesome and was later lost. From this, it can be seen that the Zhuge repeater is more likely to be fired in succession rather than in a salvo.

Because, if you change the salvo from 10 to 50 in a salvo, the burden on the crossbow string will increase by at least five times, or the kinetic energy of each crossbow arrow will be at most one-fifth, which is very unrealistic.

This Zhuge Prime Minister only began to conceive this kind of repeater when he was more than a few years old, and his ability seemed to be worse than that of the one in his hometown.

But Liang Xiao quickly figured it out.

Perhaps, Zhuge Hui's management of the Great Zhou is vast, far better than Shu Han, so he doesn't have so much time to study these clever things.

"Do you think this is possible?" Zhuge Hui asked.

Liang Xiao exclaimed: "It is worthy of being the prime minister, but it seems that the structure can be improved a little bit, and maybe it can enhance the power......

Zhuge Hui smiled: "After you improve, try the two designs together, which one is more practical, use which, keep improving." The old man knows that if you can come up with something like sugar, you know some clever things, and if you look for reference, you will definitely gain something. ”

Liang Xiao nodded again and again, moved in his heart.

For such an important thing, Zhuge Hui can let him refer to it, which is undoubtedly a kind of trust.

Zhuge Hui looked at the young man in front of him, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever been to Taimiao today?" ”

Seeing Liang Xiao nodding, Zhuge Hui sighed: "Your grandfather, Marquis Lanling, and his brother King Wu are all eligible to enjoy the Taimiao, and His Majesty is discussing this matter with the Ministry of Rites recently. But the Ministry of Rites is Duanmu Cao, you know. In any case, a hero is a hero, and his merits cannot be erased, so the Great Zhou Wusheng was posthumously admonished by the martial king. ”

Liang Xiao was stunned for a moment, thoughtful.

Zhuge Hui must have seen Shizu and the old man, it is impossible not to see the clues, so he suddenly mentioned this matter......

Zhuge Hui seemed to be talking to himself.

"Gaozu once said that most of the world was fought for him by King Wu, so he has always been grateful for King Wu's exploits. It's a pity that King Wu failed to leave an heir and inherit the title. ”

"Actually, there is one thing that has not been recorded in history for the time being because it is so tragic. Back then, King Wu and Gaozu were both old sons, and the two children were the only sons of their parents, and they were born in the same year. It's a pity that there was an unexpected outbreak of smallpox in the capital that year, and the queen of Gaozu and the wife of King Wu were infected and died, and only one of the two children survived, and that child was the prince. ”

Hearing this, Liang Xiao's pupils shrank: "This ......"

Liang Xiao's reaction was seen by Zhuge Hui in his eyes, and it was instantly clear.

Duan Yunchong mentioned to him that Liang Xiao said that his master was Xianyun Yehe, and he was not allowed to mention his master's name to outsiders casually.

Now, Zhuge Hui has finally figured out the ins and outs.

"Liang Xiao, you must not spread these things that the old man told you."

Liang Xiao nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "I understand, thank you for believing in Ren!" ”

At this moment, the old and young were tacit, and no one broke it.

Zhuge Hui said meaningfully: "After all, you will at least be a great Zhou concubine in the future, and you are qualified to know about this matter, and you must not live up to the trust that Your Majesty and His Highness have placed in you." The old man is over the age of old, and the future of the big week will be entrusted to you. Before that, as long as it is beneficial to the king and the people, you just have to ask Your Majesty to do it with confidence, and the old man will try his best to maneuver, and you can't let the important ministers of the court always embarrass you. ”

Hearing this, Liang Xiao couldn't help but feel sad and looked at the elder in front of him.

The prime minister in his hometown died suddenly before he was a sixtieth year, leaving behind the tragedy of the stars falling and the autumn wind in the five zhangyuan.

"How is the Prime Minister's diet lately?"

Zhuge Hui said with a smile: "Barely maintained at a normal level, if it weren't for the division of labor and cooperation of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the old man wouldn't have to be so tired." ”

Liang Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Dazhou is vast, and there are naturally more talents available, but it shares Zhuge Hui's workload.

For the sake of safety, Liang Xiao still asked Zhuge Hui about his diet and daily life, including drinking water, and said: "Prime Minister, my master's friend has a set of health preservation methods, you might as well refer to it?" ”

"Oh? Just say that. Zhuge Hui's eyes were a little more curious.

Based on modern knowledge, Liang Xiao wrote down some details of relatively healthy life.

Zhuge Hui glanced at them one by one and bowed slightly: "You can also try it, at least it looks harmless, such as drinking only boiled water and eating less pickled and grilled food." ”

Liang Xiao remembered something again, and said: "The prime minister just now talked about smallpox, which is a virulent infectious disease that everyone hears about. I stumbled upon the fact that those cattle breeders had never had smallpox in their lives. In areas where smallpox is outbreaking, almost no cattle farmers are infected with the disease. ”

"What's the connection?" Zhuge Hui became even more curious, and looked at Liang Xiao with more and more strange eyes.

This kid is only seventeen years old, how can he know so many things?

Liang Xiao said: "I was curious about this later, checked the medical books, and found that these people have had cowpox, this kind of cowpox, equivalent to cattle have smallpox, after infecting people, there should be something in the human body that can resist smallpox, so that these cattle farmers can avoid the threat of smallpox." ”

Zhuge Hui realized something, and smiled with relief.

"The old man understood, what do you mean is that in the smallpox-infested area and the surrounding area, try to make the people suffer from less virulent cowpox, maybe it can be effective in preventing this disease? I really can't imagine that you would care about such details, and the Venerable Master is really well taught. ”

"You can try to cut through the skin of a person with a burning knife, and then apply the scab from the cowpox on the cow to the wound, and you should be able to get cowpox." After Liang Xiao finished speaking, he smiled and was satisfied.

Talking to smart people is saving trouble.

"Good! The old man would propose to His Majesty that cowpox be tried on a small scale, after all, cowpox is not enough to kill people. But if you can effectively prevent smallpox and protect millions of people, then you have made a great contribution to the generations. ”

Zhuge Hui patted Liang Xiao's shoulder, with a rare look of excitement.

It's just that letting this kid be a big Zhou colt is really wronged by him......

is not a simple teenager, but he has not realized that he has been targeted by the old prime minister.
