The wilderness in Yuzhou in winter is very monotonous, with gray-white mountains, yellow-white earth, frozen rivers, and dry cold winds. The temperature cannot be said to be severely cold, but the weather does not give people a trace of warmth.

In Dongxiang, Luoyang, Liu Cang let his horse go at a steady speed, with a huge bear running beside him.

After staying overnight in Luyuan with three tiger cubs for one day, the goat strategist was promoted to the fourth level, and Liu Cang unscrupulously stewed the tail of another fourth-level goat.

A tail fart had no effect at all. Apart from proving that the stewed tail of a Level 4 goat was quite delicious, Liu Cang had no sense at all about the viewing angle.

After taking the goat's spiritual marrow, Liu Cang had no choice but to hang out in the pig pen. The canopy had also reached level four, but compared to the sheep, the new abilities of level four domestic pigs were a bit strange.

Dangkang, the name of the ability, is not the gain of meat quality on the human body, but the effect of the fourth-level pig animal's body tissue on fertile land.

Pig skins, pork, pig bones, and even body fluids and feces. After level 4, everything on pigs is like natural fertilizer, mixed into the earth, and can also be fertilized in deserts, which can promote the growth of plants to a certain extent.

It's amazing and has huge potential.

But it is of no use to Liu Cang today, because there is only a level 4 pig in Tianpeng, and even if it is given laxatives every day, it will not be able to raise a large area.

Well, it is impossible for Liu Cang to bury pig skins, pork, and pig bones in the ground for the time being. Obviously, he will only use pig manure as fertilizer.

After the canopy was upgraded to level four, Liu Cang evolved three level three boars and five sows, mainly to see if high-quality animals would give birth to high-quality cubs.

In addition to collecting spiritual marrow to evolve animals, Liu Cang did not need to take care of other matters in Luyuan. There were Cai Yan, Zhang Xiuniang, and village elders. Liu Cang waited for a day, but what he was waiting for was news from Zhang Rang.

In the afternoon of the next day, a eunuch found the deer garden, and the matter of the tiger cubs was settled. Liu Hong not only gave several tiger cubs to Liu Cang, but also promised that all the tiger and bear cubs obtained during the hunt would belong to him.

But the premise is that the palace needs cannot be lacking, and the tigers and bears must not be allowed to harm the docile animals such as deer and sheep in Shanglin Garden.

Either catch wild wolves, snakes and rats, or take them home and feed them yourself.

Liu Cang treasured these ferocious beasts, but to Liu Hong, they were just an eyesore and a nuisance, ferocious beasts that affected the ecology of Shanglin.

Liu Hong promised Liu Cang benefits. Obviously, Liu Hong mainly wanted Liu Cang to work hard to deal with the troublesome animals such as wolves, venomous snakes in Shanglin Garden. As long as no human life was lost, it would be better if he could kill tigers, leopards, bears and bears.

His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care much about these ferocious beast cubs. As long as it doesn't delay the operation of Shanglin Garden, he is too lazy to argue with Liu Cang about these two ounces of meat.

Shanglin Garden occupies a very large area, and there are many mountains and forests in it. Seeing that Shanglin Garden allows villagers to hunt wild wolves, we know how difficult it is to clean up the wolves in it, but Liu Cang is ecstatic about this.

In addition to cubs, Liu Hong also asked Liu Cang to make the remaining animal meat from Jianzhang Palace into military rations for storage.

That is to say, it is baked and air-dried to make meat strips that are easy to carry. If possible, salt it and marinate it. If not, it will be authentic.

I am afraid that Liu Cang had too many ferocious beasts, and Liu Hong felt that it was a pity that the palace people had to eat them. Liu Hong didn't care about the two ounces of meat from the cubs, but he still knew how to use the remaining value for the adult beasts.

Nothing wrong, Liu Cang resolutely obeyed. As for saving money, how to save money, and what part of the money should be left, it is not up to him, the Shanglin Yuan Order, to have the final say.

Anyway, even during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Liu Hong was not seen paying for military rations himself. The so-called storage of military rations, the emperor's brother was afraid that he would forget about it in a few days.

Zhang Rang didn't say anything about his work, and Liu Cang was very satisfied.

It is said that people like Zhang Rang are really busy. In fact, many times they don't even have time to mess with people themselves. It's not to show off their power or how arrogant they are. They really don't have time.

If it weren't for their deep hatred, they would often kill people without even taking a look at them.

Most people want to face them face to face, and it is basically impossible to fight to the death. They have no time, and if you don’t have enough weight, it will be very difficult for them to appear in front of you.

After Liu Hong finished his explanation, the visitor also brought a message from Zhang Rang to Liu Cang.

The purple gold that Liu Cang had thrown at Shaofu Ruolu earlier had been smelted. Zhang Rang asked Liu Cang to go over there to see what kind of weapons were to be made. By the way, he also gave him the weapons and armors of the battalion of soldiers in Shanglin Garden.

Got it.

When someone came to deliver the message, Liu Cang understood instantly that the weapons and armor he had ordered had already been communicated to them. Obviously, this incidental matter was the main thing.

Liu Hong promised Liu Cang to lead the first battalion of Linyuan to garrison troops, but Jian Shuo never showed up, and Zhang Rang didn't want to ask Jian Shuo directly.

Liu Cang was asked to go to the Shaofu arsenal to collect the equipment of the first battalion. It was a legitimate matter. Why did Jian Shuo come out to explain such a big movement?

All the way from Dongxiang, Luoyang to the bank of Luoshui River, there is a blast furnace for melting iron. This is the forging site of Shaofu Ruolu. Soldiers and armor are stored in it, and the fine products are put into the arsenal of the inner city.

The military industry of the Han Dynasty was classified in detail, such as Ruolu Bikao Gong and Temple Gong. Although these were the departments responsible for forging weapons and armaments in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Nuolu was mainly responsible for storing weapons.

Ruo Lu, the Shaofu, was in charge of the Ku soldiers, and he rarely forged batches of weapons, but if he opened fire and hammered, the products he forged were often of high quality.

The Ruolu Forging Ground outside Luoyang City occupies the entire square in the southeast corner of Luoyang. Liu Cang walked to the entrance and the guard cupped his fists in greeting.

"Meet Your Highness." The six gatekeepers said in unison.

"Yeah." Liu Cang nodded in response.

The orichalcum next to him was panting heavily, and the hero behind him, Da Ya, had his tongue hanging out. When the two giant dogs caught up to him, Liu Cang drove his horse into the iron yard.

This is the place where the Shaofu holds power. To put it simply, it is the department controlled by the eunuchs of the inner court. Liu Cang has a small reputation here. Now that he wears the ribbons of the kings around his waist, he can still bear the call of Your Highness.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Cang rode his horse slowly, and the three ferocious beasts followed Xi Feng. Soldiers and craftsmen along the way tried to avoid it.

The main road of the forging yard is more than twenty meters wide, with bluestone paving, which can accommodate heavy carriages. There are armor casting workshops of 100 meters on both sides of the road. The sound of tinkling hammers is constant, which is annoying to hear for a long time, but here it is.

It is the main place where armor pieces and locking rings are made.

Although it is still far away from the big iron-making furnace, there are many blacksmiths' furnaces in the entire forge. The whole forge does not feel cold, and there are many strong blacksmiths in the armor-making workshop who are hammering armor pieces with bare arms.

Behind the main road there is a workshop with a plaque for horse gear. Liu Cang had already ordered horse armor and bear armor there, including Haohan and Daya, two big dogs. Liu Cang also ordered leather armors for them.

Armor pierces the neck to increase their attack protection.

Before they reached the horse armor workshop, an elderly official with a guard was approaching Liu Cang from a distance. He saw Liu Cang accompanying the beast from a distance. The guard seemed to want to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by the official with a wave of his hand.

"Haoxuan, go slow, are you a bear that can attack people? Don't scare my horse, I can't stand such a torment." The official stroked his beard and shouted to Liu Cang from a distance.

"Haha, I didn't know Sikong was here, so I just asked him to avoid going." Liu Cang said with a smile and called Orichalcum to give way.

Zhang Wen and Liu Cang were not very familiar with him either. They only knew that he was from the eunuch faction and the great Han Sikong had just taken office not long ago.

"Haha, if Haoxuan calls me Sikong, shouldn't I also address him as your highness? This is out of character."

Zhang Wen was slightly older than Cai Yong and had a strong body. Seeing that orichalcum was obedient, he walked to the other side of Liu Cang, put a further distance away from orichalcum, approached Liu Cang, and said with a chuckle.

"Mr. Zhang is joking, what is Mr. Zhang doing here?" The two approached and dismounted. Liu Cang smiled at Zhang Wen.

"It's nothing. I don't know how Sikong came from. Others don't know, but you still don't know?"

"Your Majesty wants me to lead the troops to conquer the Hu Qiang rebellion, so you are here to mobilize some soldiers and generals. Haha, Haoxuan is really good at it. Why don't you come and serve me as a vanguard general? Haha."

When the two of them faced each other, Liu Cang saluted Zhang Wen, but Zhang Wen did not dare to suffer. When he patted and supported Liu Cang, he was full of praises.

Zhang Wen bought his Sikong with money. What Zhang Wen said that others may not know is that he was forced to spend the money by Liu Hong.

To put it bluntly, Liu Hong not only sells officials and titles, but if the business is not good, he will also force officials belonging to the royal faction to buy an official as a model, asking for a discount, which is unpopular. It is another business experience of Liu Hong full of suicidal style.
