In the inner room, three people sat around, there was no food and drink on the table, only a cluster of bean lights flickered, and it couldn't compare to the moon outside the window.
"How many days has it been? The master hasn't called us over yet!" Wu Jiangtou couldn't help but spoke first.
In the past few days, they don't know how many speeches they have prepared, waiting for the homeowner to summon. Unexpectedly, the owner of the family didn't pay attention to them at all, and instead let the stupid son of Lao Liu's family in Mufang get a bargain! It is said that not only has he received a sum of money, but he has also added staff to make paper behind closed doors.
Because of the different gates, Sifang is somewhat estranged. The Willow Wood of Mufang is even more like its name. Therefore, the relationship between Zhifang and Taofang and Mufang is relatively cold, and it is not as good as Ding Daneng of Tiefang.
Who would have thought that after the Patriarch came back, he would start with Mufang first!
This time, Wu and Jiang were in a state of confusion. Today's world is not as good as it used to be, and if a family owner is really fascinated, if they want to help Mufang, they will be miserable!
Tian Chang sat on the main seat, and his face was a little cloudy. These days, he was as hard as sitting on a carbon basin. The brothers of the Wang family were not only beaten with sticks, but also driven out of the inner courtyard. It is not known whether Liang Feng's sick child knew the details of these two people. Those account books didn't make a sound. I don't know if the other party didn't read it, or if they saw something and hid it. This feeling of being ready to hit the cotton is simply embarrassing.
However, he couldn't watch the chaos in his backyard first. After clearing his throat, Tian Chang said, "Two craftsmen, don't panic. I got the news from the inner courtyard. The owner of the house had suffered a serious illness in the past two days. Can't see anyone anymore."
"What?" Jiang Jiangtou couldn't help but be startled, "The master is seriously ill? But isn't the newly-received part still practicing?"
This is also a recent news in Liangfu. The group of silly old men circled around the main house every morning, running sweaty and panting. When practicing without saying anything about formations, he just stood in a row, and one station lasted for more than half an hour. From time to time, he had to turn around, making his head dizzy, which was very provocative.
If Liang Feng is really seriously ill, how could Buqu still have mental training
Tian Chang smiled sullenly: "It's just a trick, in fact, the master is so sick that he can't get out of bed, and no one can see it. I think it's either that I'm hurting my body by reading the bills, or the medicine prescribed by the doctor is not very suitable for the disease. In short, he I'm afraid I can't take care of myself."
Hearing this, the two craftsmen looked at each other and seemed a little moved. Wu Jiangtou said: "But even if he is really sick, we can't just wait for him to die on the couch. Is there no way to let him make concessions?"
Tian Chang smiled and said: "Of course I can't wait, so I only invited the two of you to come over today. Isn't it the time to harvest mulberries? This year's drought has caused almost no mulberry leaves in the courtyard, so Brother Wu might as well ask for instructions. Let's take a look at the master, and see how to deal with it?"
The Liang mansion does not raise silkworms, but there is a mulberry garden that sells a lot of mulberry leaves every spring in exchange for silk. Although the amount of silk in exchange is not much, it is enough for the whole family. Now it is indeed time to harvest mulberries, but Wu Jiangtou is not stupid, this is clearly letting him take the lead! With a cold snort, he said, "Although the harvest is a big deal, I'm afraid it's not right to let me go and report back alone?"
"What's wrong?" Tian Shang couldn't understand Wu Jiangtou's meaning, "No one can make mistakes when the seasons are placed there. And last year, the linen in the garden also failed to harvest, and there are still 20,000 yuan of linen on the account. For foreign debts, the deed is here, and Brother Wu can take it."
A deed was handed in front of Wu Jiangtou, which was obviously encouraged by money. The method is a bit crude, but money and silk can always move people's hearts. Wu Jiangtou couldn't help but stretched out his hand to take it, and asked, "Brother Tian is too polite, but will Master Lang really recognize this deed?"
"I have already laid a foreshadowing in the account book to ensure that the beginning and the end are clean." Tian Chang smiled and didn't care about the suspicion of the other party.
"Haha, so good!"
The two sang in harmony, and Jiang Jiangtou, who was sitting beside him, also agreed with a smile of approval. After a while, the two retired and walked out of the side courtyard where Tian Chang was. Wu Jiangtou walked towards the house proudly, but Jiang Jiangtou made a detour and came to the pottery workshop. It was getting late now, but the pottery kiln had not ceased fire, and several potters were busy making a batch of new products. Seeing Jiang Jiang's head entering the door, a young man greeted him: "Dad, you are back."
Jiang Jiang nodded his head: "How is the goods rush?"
"This is the last batch, and it will be out of the kiln tomorrow. But the shop said that there is no shortage of pottery recently, and they will no longer receive goods." The young man replied.
Jiang Jiangtou was naturally aware of this, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that there are a few good potters in the workshop, and it's going to be a tough life."
"Father, what's the matter?"
"Come here." Jiang Jiang took his son to a secluded place, and told him carefully about the plot on Tianshang's side tonight.
When Jiang Ni heard this, he frowned immediately: "This Tian Chang is not small, I think things are going to happen!"
"Who said it wasn't?" Jiang Jiangtou sighed, "This person has read a few books, and he is arrogant. I think this time the owner of the family is going to come for the real thing."
This is also what Jiang Jiangtou is most worried about. His family has made pottery for the Liang family for generations, and has experienced several family owners. But there has never been a person like Liang Feng who will actively recruit Yongjian and reset the part. Today is in troubled times, and having soldiers to defend yourself is the capital of establishing a family. If what Tian Chang said was true, and the owner of the family never gave up training even when he was seriously ill, then his determination should not be underestimated.
It's not that there are no slaves bullying the master in this world, but if the master of the family is a little stronger, it is not easy to take care of a few slaves? What's more, the Patriarch still has soldiers in his hands!
Jiang Ni pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Father, we don't actually have to walk with Tian guests. If the master wants to revive the Liang family, he must also need some help. Since he is willing to use Liu Jiang's head, let's Taofang, It's not necessarily that we lost Mufang!"
How could Jiang Jiangtou not know this, but he shook his head: "Since your grandfather's generation, the Jiang family has been selling pottery privately. If this matter is revealed, how could the master let us go?"
Backing the master has always been a disgusting thing. If Liang Feng is angry, the entire pottery workshop will only die. Jiang Ni clenched his fist: "But if we don't rely on the master, can we escape this?"
This is the most crucial question. If they follow Tian Chang all the way to the dark, can they get any good fruit to eat? Jiang Jiang's head seems to be rough, but his mind is extremely meticulous, and of course he can think of the consequences of the incident. This is simply a dilemma, making it impossible to make a decision.
Jiang Jiang gritted his teeth: "Or, let's take a look at Lao Wu first. If he loses his hand, let's make another plan."
"It's too late!" Jiang Ni said anxiously, "It's better to tell the master all their tricks, and we can also atone for our sins."
"But in case..."
"Both left and right are dead, it's better to fight!" Jiang Ni's voice was extremely firm.
Looking at the expression on his son's face, Jiang Jiangtou finally gritted his teeth: "Let's go, let's go to see the master!"

"Master, can you really kill the enemy with this?"
Inside the hospital, Yi Yan picked up a long spear and shook it vigorously. After a few days of rushing to make it, Mufang finally sent the spear over. This gun is made of sword-ridge wood, which is ten feet long. The wood is hard and flexible. It must be held firmly with both hands. With a firm shake, it makes a humming sound. However, the tip of the gun does not have a metal tip, which does not seem to be very threatening.
"Naturally." Liang Feng leaned on the table and replied with a smile, "On the battlefield, it is never a place to compare personal martial arts. Only spears and arrows are the key to victory."
Right now, the Liang Mansion's trilogy has not been able to adapt to complex formation training, and can only start with the simplest spear formation. The confrontation between the two armies depends on the moment of the frontal charge. As long as the spear is like a forest, and it is not moving like a mountain, it is natural to be able to win first. Whether it's a long-distance run, a line, or a future spear assassination, it's all for this. The modern army no longer emphasizes fighting with a bayonet, but the special forces and even the armed police have continued this kind of teaching. Liang Feng is no stranger to this.
He raised his finger and pointed to the place where Yiyan was holding the gun: "You are holding it too far forward, the gun is ten feet long, the back hand should be held at the end of the gun, don't show the root of the gun, the front hand is the center of gravity, in front of the root of the gun Three feet away. Both hands are clenched at the same time, the front hand exerts force, and the rear hand stabilizes the gun. Keeping the body straight, when stabbing, step forward and bow, so that the waist is strong and stabbing at full speed!"
This pointer is really accurate to every detail. Yi Yan carefully grasped the gun as instructed, took a deep breath, and stabbed the spear with a hey sound. It was as fast as electricity, as fierce as thunder, and there was a buzzing sound in the air.
However, Yiyan didn't stop, quickly retracted the gun, and stabbed again. After five consecutive stabs, he took a deep breath and stopped: "This gun is too exhausting."
In just a few strokes, Yiyan felt her arms swell and her waist throbbing. I am afraid that few people in the series can continuously swing such a heavy spear.
This kid is really keen in observation. Liang Feng smiled and said, "When a spear soldier is placed on the battlefield, he can only make one blow. After one blow, the undead enemy will approach, and the spear will lose its proper function. You said what should I do at this time?"
run? Throwing down the gun and fighting the enemy with a knife? Yi Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Another column of spears?"
Liang Feng smiled: "Yes, the gun formation can be used in two or three columns to strip away the enemy's troops layer by layer. When the two armies formally confront each other, our army will have a great advantage."
Alexander the Great, who was invincible in Eurasia at that time, relied on the Macedonian phalanx composed of spearmen. The six-tiered spearmen are like an invincible existence. With the cooperation of rangers and infantry, they can be destroyed in an instant. Huge army of Persians. The deterrence of the spearmen is evident! In the Daqin army of the same period, it is not surprising that the halberd array is also equipped with a crossbow arrow force to sweep the Six Kingdoms.
However, hearing this, Yi Yan still did not lift his brows: "What about the enemy attacking from the side? The Xiongnu and Xianbei are cavalry, they can turn around at any time and attack the flanks of the array. Isn't the spear useless?"
Having an apprentice who can draw inferences from one case and connect with reality is indeed a lot happier to teach. No matter how powerful the Macedonian phalanx was, didn't it still lose to the Roman legion? Liang Feng nodded and said: "This is the necessity of multi-arms cooperation. In the face of field battles, sword and shield players and bowmen are also indispensable. There are thousands of formations, and they are inseparable from the original. How to effectively avoid the enemy's attack , and attacking the enemy to the greatest possible extent is the key to overcoming the enemy and winning.”
Even if there are Tiefu Tu and Kidnapper Horses known as moving fortresses, there are also Yue Fei and Zongze's shield soldiers and hooked spears. The battlefield is never static. Whether it is weapons or tactics, it will change rapidly with the enemy. This is the terrible thing about famous generals and the art of war.
However, for the current Liangfu trilogy, these are too early. You can't learn to run without learning to walk. Liang Feng said: "Now concentrate on practicing the long spear and let those recruits master the use of the spear formation as soon as possible. The number of people is limited. It is best to let them learn to change formations. If you can shoot at least two shots in a row, you will have the basic ability to respond to the enemy."
The spear formation is no longer a simple formation. Both the psychological quality and the discipline requirements are more stringent. He doesn't expect those recruits to master this quickly, but compared to fighting the swordsmanship and fighting bravely, this is already a problem. The easiest tactic.
Understanding Liang Feng's deep meaning, Yiyan nodded vigorously. However, he did not continue to practice, but said, "My lord, it's time for you to sleep in peace."
He also learned this word from Green Bamboo. He has been training in the barracks all day these past few days, and he can only go home at night. At this time, the lord would take some time to instruct him on the art of warfare, and teach him the basic skills of drills or formations. Of course Yiyan likes this one-on-one teaching, but no one knows the master's physical condition better than him.
These days, Yi Yanyi was standing beside Liang Feng's couch in confusion. The symptoms of Dan Shi's activation did not completely disappear, and almost every night, the person in front of him woke up from his sleep dripping with cold sweat. The terrifying episodes like before have been reduced, but the long sleeplessness is consuming his little energy, making the thin body even weaker. These Yi Yan are all in the eyes, anxious in the heart. Therefore, whenever there is a chance, he will urge the lord to rest.
"You're about to become a green bamboo's answering worm." Liang Feng laughed and mocked, "Why, wait for me to fall asleep so I can be lazy?"
"Master!" Yi Yan frowned slightly and whispered.
Liang Feng had a smile on his face, but his body remained motionless. He didn't want to rest.
Addiction symptoms show no sign of getting better these days, instead there are some more insidious sequelae. For example, the mood continued to be low, the nightmare was haunted, the spirit was tense, and the hand was shaking so that even the pen was a little unsteady. For him now, sleep is not the best way to rest. But there are some worrying little guys around him, and he can't let these people worry about him. Therefore, there were more flowers on Liang Feng's mouth, and he deliberately made a relaxed appearance.
Seeing that the other party had no plans to leave, Yi Yan couldn't help but take another step: "My lord, it's really getting late..."
He was about to say something else when Lu Zhu suddenly came over. In the past few days, the inner courtyard has been cleaned up, except for a few strict mouths, only Green Bamboo can take care of them. But Liang Feng had an order long ago, and no one could disturb him when he was teaching Yiyan and training troops. Green Bamboo is an obedient child, and it is impossible to break in so rashly.
Sure enough, Lvzhu's face was a little puzzled, and he walked quickly to Liang Feng's side, and said, "Langjun, Jiang Jiangtou from Taofang and his son are outside asking for a meeting, saying that there is something important..."
It was getting dark, and it was extremely rude to disturb Lang Jun. But the other party's expression was very solemn, so Luzhu had to come in to report.
It's so late, or is it "urgent"? Liang Feng raised his eyebrows: "Let them come in."
Jiang's father and son cautiously walked into the inner courtyard. Logically speaking, candles should be lit here. After all, it is the master of the Liang family. Even if three or five lamps are saved, there are still some. But the strange thing is that the hall did not light incense candles, only two torches were inserted in the corner of the courtyard. There were torches and moonlight, which made the interior of the courtyard extraordinarily bright, but the hall was shrouded in faint shadows.
The master Lang, who was riddled with illness, was reclining on the table at the moment, the faint moonlight reflected on Yuru's face, and he couldn't see what the sickness was. Beside him, there was also a strange-looking Jie man with a high nose and deep eyes, and his pair of moves were still blue and bark, like a wolf that occasionally meets at night.
Jiang Jiang's head just felt a little weak in his knees and his heart was pounding violently. He hurried forward with his son, knelt down in front of Liang Feng, and kowtowed: "Lord, forgive me, the villain has something important to report. !"
"Oh, what's the matter?" Liang Feng's answer was neither salty nor light, unable to hear his emotions.
Jiang Jiang's head shuddered, and he didn't even dare to lift his head: "Damn the villain! The villain is obsessed, and was deceived by Tian Chang's little old man.
With just one sentence, Liang Feng heard Jiang Jiang's head. This is for a whistleblower, like a tainted witness, who wants to exchange confession for leniency in exchange for leniency. It seems that Tian Chang is about to take action, but the faction of his subordinates is not very reliable, and it collapses directly.
With a chuckle, Liang Feng said lazily: "Why, Tian Chang doesn't want to use you anymore, and wants to replace Wu Jiang's head?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Jiang's head immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that the master Lang had already set his sights on Tian Shang, and I am afraid that even their conspiracy knew clearly. Fortunately, I came early, if I waited for the surnamed Wu to attack, it would be too late!
In the bottom of my heart, I was secretly glad that Jiang Jiang's head didn't dare to be neglected, and the bamboo tube poured the beans as if he had recruited him: "Lang Zhu, spare your life! They are all surnamed Tian who have bad intentions and covet the management power in the government. It's just that he instigated Wu Jiangtou, saying that he wanted to embarrass the master with mulberry leaves, and he also tampered with the account book and made a debt deed. I really dare not listen to this kind of betrayal of the master. , I just came to report to the master all night!"
As he said that, he burst into tears, feeling extremely aggrieved. However, the people in the hall didn't mean to make a sound. After crying a few times without embarrassment, Jiang Jiangtou couldn't help it, and secretly raised his eyes to look. Above the hall, it was still dark, and it was impossible to see the other party's expression, but those black eyes that were brighter than the stars in the sky stared straight at them, icy and biting, as if they could read people's hearts. Jiang Jiang's head was tense, and he hurriedly pierced his head back. What does this mean? Lord Lang, he doesn't believe it, but he still sees something...
Jiang Jiang's head was thinking wildly when a voice suddenly came from above: "How do you sell the private goods burned in the kiln?"
These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue. The frightened Jiang Jiang's head softened, and he fell directly to the ground: "Langzhu... villain, the villain was inspired by others, and he was obsessed for a while. Taofang is burning pottery for Fuzhong, only Fangfang It's easy to get no reward, and several craftsmen have to eat, lord..."
His cry didn't get any sympathy, and the voice was still cold: "Is it the shop you opened, or did you find someone to sell it?"
Jiang Jiangtou wanted to say something, but behind him, Jiang Ni suddenly grabbed him, stood up and replied, "Qi reported to the master, it was sold on consignment, mainly to burn some large items and sell them to the Hu people. However, this year in Bingzhou, there is some chaos, and the store has stopped accepting these rough goods."
Hearing what his son said, Jiang Jiang was about to be frightened by the cold sweat on his forehead, so he quickly remedied: "Langzhu Mingjian! Our pottery workshop really can't make ends meet. The food distributed by the government every year is not enough for a few households to eat, and there is no The land can be cultivated, it is really for living..."
Liang Feng ignored the miserable remarks, and said to the nervous but winking young man, "Can we only burn pottery in the workshop? Can't we produce porcelain?"
"The skill of firing porcelain is a secret. How can it be fired in the workshop? The legendary porcelain fire is even more rare. We have tried some methods, but we can't raise the kiln temperature at all." Jiang Ni has already reacted. The master did not care about their greed for ink, but was extremely concerned about the affairs of the kiln. These words are exactly on point. It seems that he really needs someone who can help him. Blindly begging for mercy and crying will only make people look down on him.
Sure enough, Liang Feng nodded slightly: "If the kiln temperature can be raised, the porcelain can be fired. Can the current Bingzhou be sold?"
"Yes!" Jiang Ni replied affirmatively, "If there is real porcelain, don't worry about those barbarians not being tempted. Even if they don't have money and food, they still have a lot of horses, cattle and sheep in their hands. Porcelain is used by nobles. There is no sales! It's just that it is too difficult to burn porcelain. Even if the workshop is full of veterans of pottery firing for generations, they may not be able to make good porcelain..."
One thing to say, one thing, no ambiguity, this is what Liang Feng wants to hear. What he lacks the most is talents, especially talents who know how to do business. This kid can not only quickly understand the meaning of his words, but also respond fluently, and he has already met his basic requirements. Regardless of whether the porcelain can be fired or not, this is a guy that can be reclaimed for his own use.
In Liangfu's semi-serfdom production method, it is a miracle that the people below do not want to steal the benefits. Such a sneaky person can do a great job, and if you give a little freedom, I am afraid that you will be able to make a difference. What's more, he does know some ways to increase the temperature of the flame, such as a pull-out bellows. Since Tao Fang is not stupid, he doesn't mind taking these people for his own use.
"Good." Liang Feng sat up slightly, "Yi Yan, press them down."
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ni's face suddenly changed color. Why did the master suddenly change his face and lock them up? Didn't you just say it well
Jiang Jiangtou's face changed even more, and he shivered. It's all their son's big mouth, who directly smashed Taofang's old capital. This boss punished him, wouldn't it be a sheep into the tiger's mouth? !
"Master, Master! We are really here to share the news..."
Jiang Jiangtou couldn't help but climb the first two steps, trying to get in front of Liang Feng. However, Yi Yan's movements were several times faster than his, and the spear in his hand smashed directly on his back, crushing him to the ground.
Is this a slap in the face? Jiang Ni jumped up: "Lang lord, I came up with the idea! You punish me, spare my father..."
Liang Feng said: "Tomorrow Wu Jiangtou is really as you said, and I will spare you this time. If not..."
He paused sinisterly, turned his head and said to Yi Yan, "Find two people and watch them carefully."
This time, the father and son's high-hanging hearts finally let go. It seems that the master is just to verify whether their secret report is true, not really to punish them. As long as the surnamed Wu comes, they will be safe! This time, the panic turned into a fluke, and the two dared not say anything else, so they obediently followed Yi Yan and retreated.
Looking at the two slightly hunched backs, Liang Feng chuckled lightly. This piece of slack immediately shattered the pre-set line of defense of the Jiang family and their sons, so they wouldn't dare to act recklessly in the future, right
However, Tian Chang was more cunning and cowardly than he thought. Since he chose someone to die, he was disrespectful. Liang Feng instructed Lvzhu, "Go and call Ah Liang."
