The generals sat down in the city lord's mansion, and Lei Ming asked proudly, "What do you think of this iron-making furnace?"

Yang Tian stilted Erlang's leg and whispered to himself: "The conditions here are bad, and it is difficult to thunder if it can be built at such a level, but I don't know what the quality of the iron refined by the Dao is." ”

Mr. Wen smiled and said, "Thundering, with these iron supplies, we will be able to forge more weapons and even make armor." ”

The generals also happily responded.

After being happy, Luo Yangtian asked, "Master...... General Lei, I wonder if Lu Dao can forge a divine weapon like the one in your hand again?"

"Hehe~, this is okay. Lei Ming was also very satisfied with the Tang Dao in his hand, they hadn't seen the dagger tied up yet, "I also plan to train a group of blacksmiths who specialize in making divine weapons, but this group of people must be trustworthy and under our control!" Lei Ming said very seriously.

Luo Luotian and the others felt that the matter was important, so they all bowed their heads and pondered, cautiously not giving their opinions.

The more Yang Tian sat down, the more shapeless he became, he leaned back on the chair, his right foot rested on the armrest, and said with bared teeth: "Hehe, this is simple, just draw some people from the elite camp!"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, that elite must be highly valued, and they will not easily let the personnel get out of control, and they are all physically strong.

"Okay! That's it!" Lei Ming made up his mind very decisively, "Let's draw two hundred soldiers who are interested in forging first, you can give a proper hint, and arrange forging divine soldiers after training!"

"Well, when I heard that I could forge a divine weapon similar to my Tang Knife, I think they would flock to me. Yang Tian teased.

"Well, the matter is settled. After a pause, Lei Ming continued, "Our food is barely available at present, but when there are more people, I am afraid that we will not be able to supply it. After speaking, he glanced at the crowd and saw that everyone was puzzled, isn't this good enough to be able to supply?

Huang Chu asked tentatively, "Are you worried that this place will develop well, and there will be many people who come here and not enough to eat?"

"That's one of them. Lei Ming's right fingers tapped on the handrail, "The second is that this ironmaking requires a lot of people, and many people will not be able to participate in farming. The third is that the lower reaches of this small river are also difficult to cultivate. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, except for Yang Tian, the brows of the others were deeply furrowed.

Yang Tian smiled and said, "Then let's have some hybrid rice and apply some compound fertilizer......

"Stop, stop, stop!" Lei Ming hurriedly raised his hand to stop Yang Tian's words, and said, "It's too complicated to do, I'm not omnipotent." ”

"Then it's okay to get some bio-fertilizer, deep ploughing, for example, we have cattle ......" Yang Tian also turned his mind and remembered.

"Well, good idea!" Lei Ming patted the armrest, his head clear.

In the days that followed, Lei Ming took matters into his own hands and forged a few fairly smooth plowshares and rakes. Whether the effect is good or not, try it to know the way, so everyone made an appointment to try the test the next day.

It was a sunny morning, and in the midst of the cheerful chirping of the birds, Lei Ming found a piece of dirt that was still clean and moist, tied the hemp rope of the plough and made a bent wooden frame, and put it around the neck of an old cow. He held the plow in one hand and the whip in the other, and with a "pop~" sound, he gently whipped on the back of the ox, and the ox walked forward reluctantly.

The thunder pressed lightly on the handlebar, and the plowshare slowly sank to the ground, turning up rolls of black mud. Everyone was overjoyed when they saw it, and the plough was still good.

The old cow felt that his back was gradually sinking, and he glanced back at the strange fellow, how could it be so heavy with just a few wooden strips?

Lei Ming looked at the mud that was turned up, and suddenly the plow stopped moving, and when he looked up, the old buffalo actually looked at himself with a blank eye, and did not move. Yang Tianzheng on the side was grinning and looking at his jokes, and the other generals were also waiting for their results.

What an old cow, it actually embarrassed me, see that I don't smoke you to death! Thunder was furious, "smack!" and whipped on the cow's back. The old cow was in pain, "moo~" with a wail, and ran forward with all his strength, it wanted to run back.

Thunder laughed, and pressed the plow down a little more, and the dirt rolled up, and plowed straight over. "How's it going?

"Thundering, this cow is running straight to the city, looking for its owner!hehe~" Yang Tian watched Thunder show off, but the cow ran straight to the city, without turning, his heart was happy, this is the result of not making the cow.

"Then you hold on to it, or something will go wrong. Lei Ming was also anxious, and pressed the plow deeper and tighter, and he did not dare to let go of the plow in his hand at will, and if he let go, he did not know where the road would be thrown and hurt people.

"Hee-hee, no, if you press deeper, it won't be able to run, and if I run up again, it will run in fright. Yang Tian was not in a hurry at all, and stood aside to watch the excitement.

After dragging the heavy plough for ten meters, the pain in his body disappeared, and the breath was used up, and the old cow stopped again.

Lei Ming also exhaled the stuffy breath in his chest, wiped his sweat lightly, and said, "It seems that this ploughing is not simple." Liao Yun, go and invite the owner of the cow over!"

Liao Yun took the order, and the others surrounded him and judged the plow.

It didn't take long for Liao Yun to bring a thin old man in sackcloth and gray hair. Lei Ming stepped forward and arched his hand: "Old uncle, I bother you to lead the oxen, so that it won't run around when plowing the ground." ”

Originally, this old man saw a few powerful soldiers here, and his heart was worried, and after listening to Lei Ming's words, he saw that the people around him were only smiling and looking at him, so he was relieved and said, "Okay, there is no problem with this." The old man is at the command of the little brother. ”

So, with the cooperation of the old man and the ox, he quickly ploughed a piece of land. Looking at the rolled up piece of land, everyone's eyes were full of excitement, and they were lively to express their opinions.

The old man listened to their discussions, looked at the mud that had been turned up on the ground, and finally understood that they were improving the tools of the cultivated land. He was overjoyed in his heart, and said greedily: "This farm tool is very useful, can you give me a pair for the old man?"

"Hehe, there's no problem with that, it's just going to happen later, and it's still being improved. "Thunder is happy to see it. When the old man heard this, he was discouraged.

"Then how about we try this rake again?" Thunder Ming tested the old man's understanding of cultivated land.

"No, no!" The old man looked at the rake, knowing what he was probably doing, and waved his hand again and again, "If you want to rake this land, I'm afraid you have to bubble this upturned mud." ”

Lei Ming nodded again and again after hearing this, and then ordered Lin Chong and Liao Yun to collect the guys. After that, I thanked the old man again.

After returning home, Lei Ming handed over the improved hoes, shovels, plows and rakes to Mr. Wen, and put him in charge of the concept of general farming tools and deep ploughing. In the days that followed, Lei Ming instructed the new craftsmen in the morning to forge and in the afternoon to explore the plan of making fertilizer.

Time flickered, it was another month, and the new craftsmen learned to forge and forge the initial results, and most of the blacksmiths were already able to forge the cloud sword, but the number of swords made was still quite small, only more than a hundred.

In the craftsman's room, Lei Ming took a new sword and fought with the previous copper sword, only to hear the sound of "clang", the copper sword broke and fell to the ground. Behind him, Luo Yangtian, Liao Yun and Lin Chong were stunned.

Lei Ming took a closer look, only to see clouds and shadows, and there was a small gap in the blade, but this was also a good quality. Lei Ming nodded and said to the craftsman who forged this sword, "Yes, you have also seen the effect. If I work hard to forge a hundred times, I will catch up with this one in my hand. ”

"General Xie Lei appreciates, his subordinates must work harder!" In fact, the craftsman was furious in his heart when he heard that he had forged it a hundred times, his strength was not enough, his control was lacking, and if he forged it again, it would be layered.

Lei Ming also seemed to see the confusion in his heart, so he said: "Actually, you can use your internal strength to forge, which can not only practice, but also improve the effect of forging......"

"General Xie Lei gave me a lesson!" the craftsmen shouted respectfully, that was a valuable experience in practicing and making weapons, and this General Lei passed it on to them casually, can you not be grateful?

The three of Luoyang Tian hurriedly snatched a sword and took it in their hands and looked at it carefully. Lei Ming was speechless for a while, and said, "These are for ordinary generals, you better wait." ”

"That's good, use it first. "Luo Yangtian actually begged for it with a thick old face.

"Whatever you want. Lei Ming rolled his eyes and walked out, he still had to think about how to change the big manure tank, and at the same time, he also saw how troublesome it was to connect the metal without welding materials.

Just a few days ago, Lei Ming finally made up his mind to clean up the city, dig ditches and connect all the toilets that can be connected together, and gather together to make a big manure tank, which is a good biofertilizer after fermentation - of course, this method can also be used to put leaves and straw into it to ferment.

The slag of ironmaking and the slag of burning were collected, and Lei Ming ordered people to dig up yellow mud and mix it into thin mud, which was used to repair the ditches, but it would not be wasted.

Lei Ming looked at the neat and smooth ditch, and a sense of pride rose in his heart: if there was no scientist like him here, I don't know when these things would be able to be made.

"General Lei, does this big manure tank stink?" asked an old woman who came over on crutches and trembled.

"Uh...... No, old woman, we'll cover it with a plank. Lei Ming was embarrassed, he hadn't thought much about this stinky problem, but he thought of a solution again as soon as he had an idea.

"Oh, then, the old woman is relieved. Then she turned her head and shouted to the three children with their heads poking out of the corner, "Don't worry, the big manure tank will be covered with wooden planks!"

The three heads over there also looked over when they saw Lei Ming, and they didn't dare to respond, so they shrank back after brushing the ground.

After Lei Ming carefully inspected the manure tank, he ordered someone to dig a shallow ditch to connect it to a large pond outside the city, so that it was convenient to pick up large manure outside the city, and also to prevent too much accumulation and no place to drain it.

In this way, the problem of farming can be regarded as a preliminary solution.

After another month, after the ditches in the city were built, there was still a lot of slag smelted, and Lei Ming ordered people to pave the roads in the city with rough concrete made of slag, so that after the rain would not be muddy all over the ground, so that the residents were all praised. As a result, the happiness index of residents in the three towns under the jurisdiction of Lei Ming has gradually increased, and the enthusiasm to participate in the construction has also increased.
