453 Returning to Broken Leaves 2
With such an arrangement, Li You, the site near Juli City can be owned by Datang, and he can speed up the construction with peace of mind. As long as the houses and streets in the city are completed, they can be sold. As for the city walls, he doesn’t plan to After all the repairs are completed, there is really not so much time for him. The ramming of the wall is simple, but the bricks of the city wall have to be pressed up, but it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Besides, this can be built slowly in the later stage. As long as the repairs are completed in the city, Xiao Ming was also assigned to Gao Huailiang by Li You, and one more person should take care of it, so he should be quicker.
In the main hall of the Broken Leaf Palace, Xiao Ming said unwillingly: "Brother-in-law, I was thrown by you to repair the city just two days ago. Is this reasonable?"
Li You smiled and said: "This is the place that Beiting officials want to go. Don't you want to? Don't say that my brother-in-law doesn't take care of you. You are just a supervisor, and you are not asked to repair it yourself. On, one year later, from the sixth rank, as long as the city is completed, you will be at the sixth rank. When you return to Beijing, what official position do you think you will be? Shi, you really think it's easy! Don't worry, now Juli City has repaired some houses and will not let you live in a shed."
"Really? Hey, that's all right, I'll go to Ju Belvedere."
Li You smiled and got up, walked to Xiao Ming's side from the front of the case, still smiled and said softly to him: "When I left Broken Ye and returned to Beijing, I visited Juli City once, and I heard that there were a few millets. Special merchants brought many Sogdian girls to the city for business, and they also bought a house in a newly built workshop in the west of the city. Business is booming every night. I don’t know what they do. You can help me go there. Check it out."
Xiao Ming also smiled intentionally: "Haha, okay, I'll go and check it out."
At this time, Gouzi came in and said, "Young Master, Dong Kui and Qiu Chengfu come to see you."
Xiao Ming stood up and said, "Brother-in-law, you are busy first, so I will go back to the post house first. I will come over to get the paperwork tomorrow, and then I will go to Ju Belvedere."
Li You also bowed his hand in reply and said, "Brother Uncle, go slowly."
Then Li You said to Gouzi: "Go and call someone over."
After a while, Gouzi came in with Dong Kui and Qiu Chengfu, and as soon as the two arrived, they hurried to see you in a week.
Li You asked, "Dong Kui, the road is good, and everything can be delivered safely."
"Young Master, everything is in order, and everything is delivered safely." New Bayi Chinese website first published
Li You nodded and said to Dong Kui: "You let the brethren have a good rest. When I finish dealing with the matter here, you can go to the fire to search for the country with me, and I will build steelmaking there. Workshop."
"Yes, young master, Dong Kui should obey his orders."
Li You turned his head to look at Qiu Chengfu, who was in his forties. This is a master who can forge iron parts of any shape. He believes that with their excellent blacksmiths, they will be able to forge in a short time. Out of artillery.
"Qiu Chengfu, I told you to travel a long way here this time. I just want to build a weapon with you. You must learn these crafts. After you go back, Hongwu will arrange for you to go to Siam City. There, you need Build this weapon a lot and teach others."
Qiu Chengfu handed his hands and said: "It's the Patriarch, I will explain to others, and I will do it in accordance with the Patriarch's arrangements."
Li You went on to say: "This time the location is not in Broken Leaf. You and Dong Kui will stay here and wait. After a while, I will take you to Huoxun."
"Patriarch rest assured, wherever you let us go, we will go wherever we go. There is no inconvenience."
"Well, you should go back first. When that happens, I will let the dog inform you."
After people left, Li You picked up the treasure knife on the table, looked at the treasure knife that almost killed him, and muttered: "This time it depends on whether you can do it."
Li You is very familiar with weapons such as artillery and firearms, but he believes that in the absence of post-loading, the power of the musket is obviously insufficient. Although the penetrating power is greater, the rate of fire cannot be matched. The bow and arrow ratio, to put it bluntly, the crossbows are better than the muskets, and they are still very powerful. The real thing that can be said to have a great effect on the battlefield is artillery.
The cannon he is going to build this time is not a forged cannon, but a forging. It will also cut to make the accuracy of the bore more accurate. As to whether it can be done, it depends on the alloy short knife in his hand. If a short knife can do it, he has a way to perform fine cutting and turn the artillery into a backfire. Once he succeeds, firearms are naturally not a problem.
He has painted all the pictures, it depends on whether it works at the end, anyway, even if it doesn’t work, he can at least make a cannon with a front chamber charge. This can be used as well, and it doesn’t have much impact. It’s nothing more than an operation. It's a bit more complicated, and someone needs to clean the inner chamber every time a shot is fired, which is really troublesome.
The next day, Li You called the shopkeeper He who helped him build the two-stone crossbow. He wanted to ask about the situation of the crossbow. If possible, he wanted to take a thousand with him when he came to Huoxun this time. It can be regarded as a supplement to Heizi's side. In fact, he is really a little worried about the sunspots. It's certain that the eclipse comes and it's definitely a lot of people. So Li Yousheng is afraid of losing, Yi Wu and his son. But he was staying at Huoxun. If he was defeated in a battle, he wouldn't dare to think about the consequences.
As soon as shopkeeper He arrived, he bowed to Li You and said, "The Caomin has seen Daduhu."
"Treasurer He does not have to be so polite, no courtesy, please sit down." After waiting for someone to sit down, Li You asked: "Treasurer He is here today. I want to ask about the crossbow. I don't know what the situation is about the crossbow. If it is feasible, Ben Duhu would like to pick up a batch."
"There is no problem. Most of the guards can pick up 1,200, and the rest will be delivered early next year. Now the materials for the corresponding items are basically ready, and the rest is time-consuming to build."
This is something Li You would like to hear. He nodded, and then asked again: "I don't know how the shopkeeper can deliver the two hundred crossbows for this thousand years to Pondok in a few days?"
Shopkeeper He said, "Most Protector will be delivered in three days."
"Okay, then three days later." For Li You, as long as it is built, it doesn't matter if it is a day or two late.
This is one thing, and bring some fierce fire oil. He only needs to wait for Li Siye to return before he can set off to Huoxun. Today, Li Siye is bringing people back, and he will be able to return to the broken leaves in a few days. Li You really wants to know what the current situation of the Geluolu people and Beidi is. Although the army returns, it must have won, but what exactly is the result of the Geluolu people? This is what Li You wants to know. .
In fact, there is nothing for Li You to pay too much attention to these problems now. Regardless of whether the fight is miserable or not, the Geluolu people will be annexed by others in the near future and disappear into the long river of history. (End of this chapter)
