Chapter 3 New Workshop and New Technology (Happy Christmas Eve!)

Changshan County, Yuanshi County.

After Liu Qing arrived at Yuanshi, he went straight to the governor's mansion. The people from the county government also informed him early that Ju Shou was already waiting at the gate to greet him.

After getting off the carriage, Liu Qing looked at the tall and spacious house door. It was much more imposing than the county government in Guangping. The official was promoted one level, and the house was even more grand. It can be said to be a true portrayal of the strict hierarchy.

Jushou stood in front of the mansion and led a group of subordinates to greet Liu Qing. It was good that he recognized Liu Qing. Some of the old officials of Changshan Kingdom were very curious about the identity of the person whom the county governor personally welcomed.

"Master Jufu!" Liu Qing said with a smile. This is no joke. Now that Jufu has just entered Changshan, he must first establish his prestige. After he has completely controlled Changshan, it will not be too late to reveal his identity.

"You are trying to break me, please come in and speak." Jushou tacitly said to all his subordinates without addressing him as "lord": "Everyone, this is Liu Qing and Liu Junzheng, the man with sharp swords and horns, who is now Yanmen County.

Prefect!"

All the subordinates paid tribute to Liu Qing one after another.

After entering the county government, Liu Qing met Ju Shou and Tian Feng alone.

"Lord!" There was no one around, so Jushou made up for it with a courtesy. Liu Qing nodded and said to the two of them: "To make a long story short, the war in Yanmen is tense. I will set off today and leave Changshan County to Gong Yu and Yuan Hao.

"

"Don't worry, my lord!" they both replied in unison.

"The bandits are rampant now and the people are homeless. I don't need to say more about how to do things. I will only talk about two things." Liu Qing paused and took out two scrolls. "The demolished workshops in Guangping were transported to Zhending."

The county is where the Hu[hū] Tuo River divides. The terrain here is flat, the river surface is wide and the flow speed slows down, which is suitable for building Tianjin. In addition, water power can be used to save labor. The Hutuo River flows from Yanmen through Taiyuan into Changshan. In the future, Yanmen will be

The iron produced is transported here through this river."

Jushou spread out the map and began to search. Tian Feng also moved over, and within a short time, he located the place Liu Qing mentioned.

"Lord, this is Shiyi Township, Xiumenli." Ju said.

"If workshops are built on a large scale and workers settle here, Shiyi Township can be established as a county within ten years." Liu Qing said. "However, large-scale construction will definitely become the target of rogue bandits. I will leave Pei Yuanshao behind and let him

Responsible for the defense of the workshop."

Jushou and Tian Feng looked at each other and built a workshop. From site selection to material transportation, everything was arranged. In terms of location, it was almost perfect. The only shortcoming was that there was no danger to defend this place except the river, and it was far away from Zhending County.

, there is still some distance, but Liu Qing still arranged for someone to be responsible for defense.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do what you want."

Liu Qing took out a scroll in his hand, "This is the forging process of fish scale armor. After the workshop is completed, we will work hard to create it. I want every soldier to be able to wear this lightweight metal armor."

Liu Qing then picked up another scroll and said, "These things are called stirrups and horseshoes. They also need to be made in large quantities. When the number reaches five hundred pairs, they will be sent to Yanmen. These things are of great use to the cavalry!"

Fish scale armor: Armor made of thin metal sheets. It can protect against most arrows and cuts. It requires 2000 achievement points.

Stirrups, horseshoes, war horse auxiliary accessories, and recipes each require 500 achievement points, and the remaining achievement points are 59,500.

With only a thousand points, the effect of these two things is almost timeless, and the improvement of the cavalry is also immediate.

Jushu took the scroll and said with emotion, "My lord, he is so impeccable in his work that I am ashamed of myself."

From Jushou's point of view, these are very detailed matters.

"That's true. When we were in Yuxian County, my lord arranged many matters in an orderly manner." Tian Feng also agreed.

Liu Qing had discovered that Tian Yuanhao had changed his character. Did he stay with Magistrate Cheng of Dangyu County for a long time and get close to Zhu?

If he had talked to Yuan Benchu ​​like this back then, I'm afraid he would have listened to one or two more sentences. If he had listened to one or two sentences, it might not have led to the defeat of Guandu.

"Don't exaggerate. The things I have listed are trivial matters. How to control this county as soon as possible requires the efforts of both of you. Another thing is that I want to develop mines in Yanmen. Yanmen has a sparse population, so I have to start from

Changshan will absorb some, and you can absorb refugees from the border counties. The more the better, but for now, there is no need to worry about insufficient food and grass."

"Don't worry, my lord, in such troubled times, if you have food, you won't have to worry about people." Jushu said.

"In addition, I am looking for a small courtyard and I want to place one person there."

"Lord, come with me!"

Jushou led the way and went straight out of the county mansion. When they arrived at Zhang Ning's carriage, Liu Qing was about to tell people to turn around when he saw Zhao Yun galloping over.

"Lord!" Zhao Yun shouted. Before the white horse stopped, he jumped deep and came to Liu Qing. He cupped his hands and knelt down on one knee.

Liu Qing's quick eyesight and quick hands immediately grabbed him.

"Zilong doesn't need to be polite!"

"My lord's kindness in knowing me will never be repaid with death!" Zhao Yun said.

Liu Qing was surprised for a while. He thought he hadn't seen her for more than half a month, but he was thinking what I was thinking!

It turned out that Zhao Yun was from Changshan because he had returned to his hometown in glory.

To be honest, Zhao Yun's experience should be second only to his own in terms of legend. He was only seventeen years old. First, he was promoted to county captain by Ju Shou, and now due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he follows Liu Qing, who is a big boss, to kill enemies all the way and make great contributions.

, finally relying on Zhang Liang's merit, he was promoted along with Ju Shou.

The imperial court probably didn't even know that he was only seventeen years old.

If it weren't for troubled times, Zhao Yun would have been asked for bribes from his entire army, let alone the county captain and the captain.

"Lord, two thousand cavalry and five hundred archers have been assembled and on standby. Most of those five hundred archers can already ride horses. After half a month of intensive training, they can now ride and shoot." Zhao Yunhui reported.

"It's hard work, Zilong. The military situation in Yanmen is urgent now, so I will take you as the vanguard and set off immediately. I will catch up later."

"Zhao Yun has your order!" Zhao Yun replied sonorously, turned around and jumped onto his horse, "My lord, Zhao Yun goes first!"

The captain of Changshan County fought for Yanmen County.

Liu Qing thought about it and turned around to declare Zhang He as the captain of Yanmen and fight for Changshan.

When he arrived at the house that Jushu mentioned, Liu Qing patted the carriage and motioned for the people inside to get off.

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and Ju Sue saw a woman without makeup sticking out. She stretched out her slender arms and jumped out of the carriage lightly. She walked past Liu Qing and Ju Sue as if there was no one else around, and walked straight towards the house.

Apart from Dian Wei, Guo Jia, and the imperial guards, no one else knows about Zhang Ning's affairs, including Ju Shou.

So Jushu looked confused. Why was the lord bringing a beautiful woman on the road? And it seemed that he was ignoring the lord and seemed to be angry.

Jushou's head turned rapidly, and based on the known conditions, he thought of an approximate possibility.

The lord has not had a maid to serve him in these years. When he wanted to introduce the Wang family's daughter, he was rejected by the lord. It turns out that the lord is not not close to women, but has already hidden his beauty in the golden house!

Why is she so cold now? Because the master married Cai Yan behind her back!

Liu Qing looked at Ju Shou's eyes, and the more he looked at them, the more wrong he became. He thought he must have misunderstood. Just when he was about to explain, Ju Shou said first, "Lord, I have never seen this person!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Liu Qing shook his head helplessly. It is not good for people to be too smart. It is easy to think too much.

Following him into the house, he saw Zhang Ning standing blankly in front of the door.

"This is Changshan Yuanshi. You will live here in the future. I will ask someone to send you a thousand dollars every month, which is enough for you to live alone. Do you have any other requirements? If you want to grow vegetables, I will ask someone to pick some soil.

Come to the courtyard." Liu Qing joked.

Zhang Ning turned around and looked at Liu Qing.
