Chapter 180
Chapter 180
Excitement flowed in Liu Bei's heart.
What an honor it was to be able to mingle with the military officers led by the Zhonglang Jiang?
In the past, these big men were the county magistrate in his small county, and they were completely out of his league.
But now, they were all around him.
Liu Bei felt an inexplicable sense of refreshment.
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly jumped out of his mind.
Liu Yu!
The young man who had become the county magistrate smiled slightly.
As if he was laughing at him.
The comfort in Liu Bei's heart was instantly destroyed.
A huge feeling of disgust emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Liu Bei frowned.
He stood there for a long time before he came to his senses.
When he found that all the military officers in the central army tent were looking at him, Liu Bei realized that he was being rude.
He quickly ran to Lu Zhi's side. He had just called him, but he didn't hear anything.
"Xuan De, I'll give you two hundred cavalrymen. You must reach Tanghai County quickly." Lu Zhi said earnestly.
"There must be no delay."
"The war in Guangzong City is tight."
"If you are a day late, there will be more risks here."
"Xuan De, do you... understand?"
Facing Lu Zhi's meaningful gaze, Liu Bei thought about it a little, and then nodded quickly, saying solemnly: "Don't worry, sir!"
He patted his chest to guarantee it.
"No matter how difficult it is, I will definitely get the weapon in Tanghai County!"
"I will definitely live up to your teachings now."
"Okay!" Lu Zhi nodded, "Xuan De will set off now."
"When you return, I will arrange a welcoming banquet for you!"
"Wait until the Yellow Turban rebels are defeated and the rebellion is successfully suppressed."
"Xuan De's contribution must be extremely great, don't worry about that."
After serving as an official for many years, Lu Zhi certainly knew what to say at this time to inspire people.
He knew exactly what Liu Bei came for.
"Thank you!" Liu Bei did not say anything to refuse.
He took the document from Lu Zhi and turned to walk out of the big tent without any hesitation.
Lu Zhi ordered his men to arrange the relevant matters.
He was fascinated by the standard saber that was easily cut into two pieces.
If he had known earlier that there was a place to make such elite weapons.
Let alone a mere 150,000 Yellow Turbans, even if it was 150,000 Imperial Guards, what would that count for?
…
Tanghai County.
In the steel mill outside the city, Liu Yu brought several commanders to inspect.
Blacksmith Lao Zhang was appointed as the director of the steel mill at this time, and his salary was raised to 1,500 coins a month.
Completely different from the peasant-like look in the past, there has been a huge change now.
Standing there, with a serious expression and a steady breath, he gradually has a bit of the airs of a manager.
"Mr. County Magistrate," Lao Zhang reported, "Now all production lines are suspended."
"According to your instructions, we will make all-out efforts to produce the tube sleeve armor, and we can produce 500 pieces every day."
"There are already 2,500 pieces in stock in the warehouse."
"It won't take long before all 12,000 soldiers in Tanghai County can be armed."
"Very good." Liu Yu praised, "Not bad."
"However, even if the number of armor is enough to arm all the soldiers, don't stop."
He ordered, "Specially reserve a separate workshop to produce this tube sleeve armor."
"The daily output is controlled at 200 pieces."
"Among them, 100 pieces are made of the best steel, and the other 100 pieces are made of the lower-grade 50-tempered steel."
"After they are made, they will be placed in two warehouses."
"Apply protective oil to prevent rust."
"I will use them when the time comes."
"Yes!" Lao Zhang replied loudly.
"In addition." Liu Yu walked in the factory and said: "Continue to recruit some more people."
"Choose men over 35 years old from the people."
"Expand all the production workshops to about three times the current size."
"You decide on the specific talent selection."
"New craftsmen will start as basic apprentices, with only food but no salary."
"Look at their performance in the future, and consider salary after they are promoted to formal craftsmen."
"The specific amount will be determined by the government."
"Yes!" Lao Zhang nodded again: "Don't worry, County Magistrate, I will definitely complete your order seriously!"
Snap!
As Lao Zhang said this, he imitated the Tanghai soldiers and stood at attention in a standard manner.
The two shoes knocked together, making a crisp sound.
"You, Lao Zhang, learn quickly." Zhang Fei was about to pat the other party on the shoulder to express his appreciation.
But he found that the other party jumped away with a whoosh, extremely frightened.
"Don't." Lao Zhang shook his head, "Commander Yide, you slapped me"If you go down, my old body can't handle it."
"I'm afraid it will break me apart."
"No one will help the county magistrate to forge iron in the future."
"Hahaha!" Several commanders laughed.
...
In the Liu family compound, several commanders were looking forward to it.
"What does it taste like?" Zhang Fei scratched his head.
The legendary sweet potato stew has been brewed.
This made several commanders who received the news rush to the Liu family compound.
Waiting to taste it.
The taste of strong liquor made them restless.
I wish I could see the real body of the sweet potato stew right away.
"You came quite quickly." Liu Yu walked out of the inner courtyard and ordered the maids to bring a huge round table.
Then hot pot and many ceramic plates were served one after another.
"Huh? Why is the meat slice so thin? "Zhang Fei stared at the red and white slices of meat on the plate with his round eyes, a little bit unbelievable.
"This knife skill is comparable to Yun Chang's."
"Moreover, each slice is almost the same, with almost the same thickness."
"Even Yun Chang would find it difficult to do this."
"It's okay to cut a few slices, but if there are too many, it's impossible to maintain such a fine level."
The arrogant Guan Yu surprisingly did not interrupt Zhang Fei, but nodded in agreement: "Indeed."
Liu Yu smiled and greeted several people: "Sit down."
"This is cut by a special machine, not cut."
"If Yun Chang holds the Qinglong Yanyue Sword to cut it, it would be a waste of natural resources."
"Yun Chang will be a general who will take the heads of enemy generals in the midst of thousands of troops in the future."
"How could he do such a small thing."
"Hehe, that's right. "Zhang Fei agreed with a smile, rubbing his hands anxiously.
"County magistrate, when will the wine be served?"
"I am so greedy!"
The other commanders were also eagerly waiting.
We are all men, how can we not like wine?
Clap!
Liu Yu clapped his hands.
Two rows of maids walked out of the inner courtyard.
Two of them held a jar and placed it in front of each commander.
Zhang Fei's eyes lit up: "Are you really giving me so much to drink?"
He stood up and couldn't wait to reach out to take it. He tried the weight and his eyes widened.
"I'm afraid the wine in this jar must be dozens of kilograms!"
"My dear!"
"County magistrate not only feeds people with food, but also gives people enough wine to drink!"
"It's really refreshing! ! "
