Liu Xin is about to tell Wu Shu's sister that Sun Ce has been selected as a guardian of the Flying Tiger. I felt a warm feeling on my arm. He is experienced. I immediately understood what was going on. Can not help but secretly call "not good". Sun Ren, the little girl, peeed on herself. Repeatedly said: "Quick. Get the diapers."
Wu Xian has also seen Liu Xin's arms and chest wet. Can't help but laugh out loud with a "pouch". The embarrassment just now has long since disappeared. Hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "I'm really sorry. The adult's clothes are soiled. I will come."
Liu Xin said nonchalantly: "It's okay. It's okay. What's wrong with this. Leave it to me. Don't wake up the child."
Looking at Liu Xin holding Sun Ren in one hand. One hand skillfully helped her change her diapers. She is simply a competent "nanny". Sister Wu Shu looked at each other. To know. It was an era when male chauvinism prevailed. Don't talk about letting men change diapers. Many men would not even agree to holding a child. As for people with noble status like Liu Xin. I dare not even think about it.
Liu Xin didn't know what they were thinking. Self-conceited side is busy. He said, "Tell you good news. Sun Ce has been selected as the Flying Tiger Guard. This is very good for his future development. After a year or two. He has outstanding words. I am going to promote him to a school first. Wei."
Wu Shu's heart moved suddenly. Give a deep salute to Liu Xin. Said: "Master Liu treats my Sun's family like a mountain. Even if the concubine's body is broken and bones, it is difficult to report in case. The concubine has one more thing to ask for. I hope the lord can agree."
Wu Xian looked at her sister. Seems to think of something. Reached out to take Sun Ren. Said: "Master Liu. Talk to your sister slowly. I will send Shang Xiang back to sleep for a while."
There was a flash of inspiration in Liu Xin's mind. I thought of how Wu Xian would go out. I and Wu Shu are left in the room. Lonely man and widow. Cheng Ho style. So he didn't wait for Wu Xian to go out. He quickly said: "Mrs. Sun, please speak."
But Wu Xian hurriedly backed out. And took the door. The meaning of avoidance is very obvious. Wu Shu is also at a loss. I don't understand what it means for my sister to do this. Frozen for a moment. Then he said: "Master Liu. I heard that there is an academy in the city. Quan'er is not too young. Can you let Quan'er go to the academy to study? Relentless please. I hope that the adults can agree."
Liu Xin said without hesitation: "This matter is not a big problem. How old is Sun Quan this year."
Wu Shu is overjoyed. Said: "Quan'er will be ten years old after the first year."
Liu Xin listened. He said flatly: "This is not possible. The college only accepts eight-year-olds. No one can be an exception. How old is his brother. You will come to me when his brother is eight. I will take care of the arrangements."
Wu Shu's expression can't help but feel sad. He murmured: "Yi'er will be eight years old next year. It's just that Quan'er can't do it without reading. He also asked the adults to help them find a way. The concubine kowtows to the adults."
Talking and talking. Wu Shu really knelt down. Liu Xin hurriedly helped her up. Said: "Mrs. Sun. He must not be able to enter Xiangyang Academy. Let's do it. There is also a Academy in Yingchuan. Let Sun Quan study there. Just stay away from home."
Time passed day by day. This winter seems to be extremely cold. The counties and counties under Liu Xin are relatively wealthy. The people have no worries about food and clothing. There will be no signs of hunger and cold. But it's hard to say elsewhere. But Liu Xin no longer has a kind heart. It is impossible to help people elsewhere. Just instructed all counties to pay attention to inspections. In case of a large influx of refugees. They shouldn't be allowed to starve to death or freeze to death.
Just this winter. Liu Xin carried out a collective facelift of his more than 300,000 troops. The soldiers put on new armor from the inside out. Every soldier's personal clothing was replaced with silk products. Because Ma Yun had read a book in her impression. Silk has strong flexibility. Can slow down the lethality of bows and arrows. And it is easy to clean the wound. It seems that Genghis Khan once ordered his men to wear silk clothes under the armor. For the reliability of this message. Ma Yun also had no way to verify. But silk is for Liu Xin today. Not a luxury. She thinks the same as Liu Xin. . The life of a soldier is the most precious. Then I would rather believe it. Don't believe it.
In order to better identify the battlefield. Distinguish from the armies of other princes. Liu Xin also organized personnel to investigate the situation of clothing and armor in various places. get conclusion. No army has used pure black armor. Black and red were the most noble colors in the Han Dynasty. Black and red clothes can only be worn by nobles and officials. Ordinary people cannot wear it casually. But Liu Xin ignored this. He even recognized the emperor Liu Xie. What is there to scruple? He hardly hesitated. Let the soldiers put on brand new suits with red and black as the main tone.
This change is not limited to armor. Even weapons and equipment have been replaced in large numbers. Yizhou is rich in gold, silver, copper and iron. Although Liu Xin's newly occupied Guanghan, Shu County, and Qianwei County are not the main production areas. But the output is also considerable. Solved a big problem for Liu Xin. In addition, the four counties of Nanzhong that have refused to be attached so far. Many production and subsistence materials there need to be supplied by other places. It is inevitable to exchange gold, silver, copper, and iron. Come here. The production base of the research institute in Xiangyang. You will never worry about the lack of high-quality copper and iron ore again. There are a lot of copper and iron. The academy can produce more sophisticated weapons.
As the most commonly used weapon in the military. The waist knives have all been replaced by a new type of knives. This kind of knife adopts three new technologies of partial quenching, folding steel and clad steel in the process of building. When the knife is quenched, only the blade is quenched. So as to achieve the effect of hard blade and tough back. The quality of steel for casting knives has been greatly improved through repeated folding and forging. Cladding steel can make the knife hard outside and soft inside. Have stronger resilience. Simultaneously. The style of this knife has also undergone some changes. But the ring head was dropped. The blade is widened. The handle is extended. So that this kind of knife can be held with one hand. You can hold it with both hands. It can be used right away. Because of the great power of this knife. And very durable. It can easily split all kinds of armor equipment currently in use. Domineering. Therefore, Liu Xin directly named it Badao.
The second weapon to be replaced was the pewter gun. The spear is developed from the spear, the gob, and the halberd. Although the spear was already in heavy use at that time. But the wooden barrel is easy to break. Especially in the face of the impact of powerful cavalry. It is even more vulnerable. After Liu Xin came to Xiangyang. Then began to plant a large number of ash trees. Now it's time to harvest. A large number of spears made of ash began to equip the army. The gun barrel made of ash is as white as jade, hard but not hard, soft but not broken. The shaft will be bent to one hundred and eighty degrees without splitting. And no matter it is dry or wet, it will not deform.
Because the tyrant knife and the pewter gun still need long-term training in the use of skills. After the change. The combat effectiveness of the army cannot have an immediate effect. but. Liu Xin is not worried. He still has enough time. He can afford to wait. And he believed it. One more year later. A large number of strong bows were produced in two years and equipped with troops. The combat effectiveness of the entire unit can be raised to a higher level. At that time, dealing with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang cavalry should not be a problem.
Gradually entered the cold twelfth lunar month. The five major legions were not affected by the weather. The winter troop training campaign was carried out in full swing.
Cai Jue's body also slowly recovered. The actions are no different from ordinary people. Gradually approaching the end of the year. Liu Xin offered to take her home. Cai Jue understands what it means to send her home. His face was blushing. But she also knows that there are more things in the twelfth lunar month. Liu Xin has to wait until after the Spring Festival to marry her. He couldn't help but lowered his head and murmured, "The slave family won't go back. If you want to go back, you have to wait for the New Year to go back."
Liu Xin smiled and persuaded: "Je'er. You have not been at home for the New Year for five or six years. I am afraid that you will not have this opportunity in the future. You can go home with peace of mind. I will pick you up in person after the New Year."
Cai Jue's eyes felt a little moist. Although she was sent to Liu Mansion to her brother and sister-in-law. In the end, it was not embarrassing or embarrassing. There is a bit of hatred in my heart. But now five years have passed in a flash. It's finally going to be a real fruit. She also had some memories of Cai's family in her heart. After all, it was Cai Hong and his wife who pulled her up. This feeling is still there.
The new year has passed. Liu Xin did not break her promise. The fifth day of the first month. He rode a tall horse. Put red and green. Leading a large number of standard bearers and drummers. Carrying the sedan chair to Cai Mansion. This kind of ostentation did not even occur when Cai Yan got married. And it makes sense. Cai Jue is just a concubine. There shouldn't be such a pomp at all. but. All this was done by Ma Yun himself. For nothing else. That's why Cai Jue gave up his life to save her son. Ma Yun felt that she could not be wronged.
Cai Jue learned the news the day Cai Jue returned home. Naturally, I was overjoyed. He has long been looking forward to this day. Since years ago. The entire Cai Mansion has been busy with this matter. Even New Year's Eve and Spring Festival have never had a comfortable time. To this day. Colorful lights hung up and down the whole government. The sound of firecrackers has not stopped since early morning. The Cai family deserves to be the No. 1 gentry in Jingzhou. The dowry's makeup is full of twenty carts. Gold and silver jewelry, silk satin, antiques and rare. Everything. Cai Hao also specially selected twelve young and beautiful teenage girls to be maids for her sister. These girls are indeed carefully selected by Cai Hao. It must be beautiful and smart. Can't surpass Cai Jue. How much effort did it take? Only Cai Hao knew it in his heart.
Although Cai Jue only married Liu Xin as a concubine. But Cai Tao didn't feel at all a disadvantage. he knows. Since then, the Cai family has added another amulet. Although Cai Hao already has a gold medal to avoid death. But he acted more carefully. The examples of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan are there. There is only one death-free gold medal. It will be gone after use. Let him cherish more. right now. My sister married Liu Xin. It is equivalent to having a double insurance. The Cai Mansion has a big banquet today. The guest is full of doors. I am afraid that others will not know that Cai Jue is married to Liu Xin.
For Cai Tao's approach. Although Liu Xin doesn't have a cold. But he just laughed it off. Today's State Shepherd House. Not a single guest was invited. This is to take care of the emotions of other women. but. Under Ma Yun's arrangement. The programs of worshipping, getting married, and being sent to the bridal chamber are not a save. It also allowed Liu Xin to get over the addiction to weddings in the Han room.
