Farmer of Shu Han

Zhang Xingyi was probably really tired, before he finished speaking, he yawned again and again, and fell asleep after a while.

Feng Junhou wanted to sleep with her for a while with his arms around him, but he remembered that he came out while General Guan was beating the children.

So I couldn't sleep again, so I quietly got up and got dressed.

Chinese clothes are good-looking, but they are very troublesome to wear.

In recent years, Feng Junhou has always been used to reaching out for clothes and opening his mouth for meals.

I worked on it for a long time by myself, but I still couldn't complete it completely, and I always felt that my body was tense.

Reluctance to make a appearance of the robe, and then quietly go out, slipped to Amei's small courtyard.

The four wives and concubines in Feng's mansion have different courtyards.

For example, in the large courtyard of General Guan, a martial arts training ground is indispensable, and knives, guns and sticks are even more necessary.

And Zhang Xiaosi's yard is divided into two parts, inside and outside.

Because there are often emergencies or documents sent from various places, the outer courtyard is used to deal with emergency affairs.

In Li Mu's small courtyard, various fabrics are often hung, and a large room is specially set aside for spinning wheels and looms.

There are many small houses in Amei's small courtyard.

Some of these small houses store various materials by category, some are semi-finished products made by Amei, and some even store various raw materials and tools.

Knowing that Feng Junhou was coming, Amei came out of an unknown house with a look of joy on her face:

"Alang, why are you here?"

Feng Junhou opened his arms:

"Help me fix it, I don't feel comfortable in this dress."

Amei deftly untied Feng Junhou's belt with her fingers, and then put her hand inside the robe.

I don't know where to pull it a few times, and finally put Feng Junhou's belt on again carefully.

Well, the discomfort on my body is gone.

Feng Junhou twisted his body a few times and nodded in satisfaction.

"What were you doing in there just now?"

Now that you're here, you can't just leave when you run out.

Besides, since we haven't seen each other for a few months, there must be a lot to talk about.

"My concubine is sorting out the gunpowder data!"

As soon as Amei mentioned her own affairs, her eyes shone brightly.

She clenched Feng Junhou's hand and pulled him into the room.

"Look, Ah Lang, this is the data compiled by my concubine."

Ah Mei excitedly picked up a manuscript and handed it to Feng Junhou, "Didn't the army use gunpowder in this Guanzhong battle?"

"The concubine sorted out the data sent by the military staff, combined with the experiments in Liangzhou, and selected the most powerful ratio."

"According to what A Lang said, if you mix gravel in it, if it is really going to explode, it is not an exaggeration to say that it will be pierced by ten thousand arrows..."

Amei talked incessantly, telling her own idea to her family, Alang.

Feng Junhou smiled slightly and put down the manuscript:

"You should memorize these data well, and then burn them all. They must not be passed on."

"Also, your current direction is not to use it in the army, but to think about how to use it to blow up mountains."

"Fried mountains?"

"Yes, blasting the mountain." Feng Junhou nodded, "In the next few years, I am afraid that Bingzhou will need a lot of gunpowder, because I want to mine there."

Of course, opening the way is also useful.

Calculating the amount of explosives used in the next few years, it is estimated that the sulfur stored in Liangzhou will not be enough to last the state for a year.

Amei listened and nodded: "I know."

Then she looked at Feng Junhou again: "But in this way, Mrs. Zhang is afraid that she will know what gunpowder is all about."

"I didn't intend to hide this matter from her. It's just that according to the rules, even in the army, explosives are top secret, and the generals in the army don't know about it."

"In the past, this matter was reported directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion, not to mention that Si Niang doesn't care about military affairs, so naturally she can't intervene."

The government is governed by the Ge family, and the sacrifice is for the widows.

It's not just talk.

Even the Second North and South Armies built by Adou with his own money must obey the command of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As for whether the prime minister mentioned it to the little fat man, that is the prime minister's business and has nothing to do with Feng Junhou.

In terms of military power, General Guan can always hold down Zhang Xiaosi.

In addition to General Guan's own leadership ability, there is actually a balance between prime minister power and imperial power.

Feng Junhou shook his head, "Once the prime minister is gone, the palace will definitely take over the affairs of the prime minister's residence."

"It doesn't make much sense to keep Siniang a secret at this time."

After Feng Yong came out with the three-piece cavalry suit in Liangzhou, even the old monster Zhuge did not follow up easily before going through actual combat.

After seeing the real effect in the battle of Xiaoguan, the old monster Zhuge immediately united with the palace to rebuild the two northern and southern armies.

For any new thing, if it has not undergone large-scale practice or actual combat, unless it is a prophet, no one will know what kind of impact it will have.

Not to mention that it can be easily applied to the military.

General Guan is the first person to use gunpowder in practice.

But it's just a try.

I'm afraid that even a practitioner like her can't imagine how much room for gunpowder to be used—especially in the hands of King Feng Gui.

Not to mention those people in Hanzhong who have never seen gunpowder with their own eyes.

With the experience of the first battle of Xiaoguan, it is estimated that the two people in the palace are waiting to see how Feng Junhou uses gunpowder on a large scale on the battlefield.

Who would have imagined that at this time, Feng Guiwang was actually thinking of using this battlefield weapon to dig mines for himself before the real power of gunpowder was exposed?

"There should be a lot of sulfur mines in Bingzhou. You may have to take a hard trip there to have a look as soon as the manpower is ready."

"At that time, according to the standards of Liangzhou, write down whichever site you see is suitable for opening a sulfur refinery."

According to the collected information and book records, the three major sulfur mines in Dahan are:

Hanzhong, Liangzhou, and Bingzhou.

According to the experience of Hanzhong and Liangzhou, the sulfur in Dahan is basically extracted from pyrite ore.

Pyrite is often associated with coal mines...

In other words, where there are coal mines, there are often pyrite mines.

If pyrite has a high iron content, it may be possible to make iron.

This is why Feng Junhou concluded that there must be iron mines in Bingzhou.

On the contrary, in the Wuyuan area, next to the large and easy-to-mine iron ore veins, Feng Junhou was not sure that there would be coal.

After all, he only heard the name of the city of Baotou, and had never been there in person.

With the development of transportation in later generations, it is possible that the coal in Baotou was transported from outside.

Ah Mei listened to Feng Junhou's words, and nodded in response: "Everything is according to A Lang's orders."

Amei is very busy now.

In addition to doing research, he also serves as tutors for several children in Feng's residence.

Thinking about the struggle between Shuangshuang and Ah Chong, you can see how hard Ah Mei is on weekdays.

It's not that Feng Junhou didn't think about it, he doesn't need to bother Amei with his children's basic education.

It is a pity that both General Guan and Secretary Zhang expressed strong opposition.

Even Li Mu quietly followed behind the two of them without saying a word.

Although he didn't speak, his attitude was very clear.

So Feng Junhou had no choice but to secretly feel sorry for this most docile concubine.

After talking with Amei for a while, Feng Junhou got up, left the small courtyard, and returned to General Guan's large courtyard.

Sure enough, the courtyard has quieted down.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ah Chong standing in the courtyard with a sad face.

At the door of the house facing the courtyard, there was a table, and both of them were lying there writing something with the same bitter face.

"Where's Ah Shun?"

Feng Junhou walked over leisurely with his hands behind his back, and asked General Guan who was sitting at the door supervising the two of them.

Shuangshuang sees her lord coming over, remembering his desperation, she turns her head away, deliberately not looking at him.

General Guan glanced at Feng Junhou, as if he was also very dissatisfied with his behavior of running away.

"He said he wanted to see his three brothers, so I let him go out."

"Oh, that's it." Feng Junhou took a few steps, then walked behind Shuangshuang, and stretched his neck to have a look.

That's right, it's almost as good as myself.

It seems that Shuangshuang has indeed inherited her wild and unruly font style.

No wonder General Guan is always angry at Shuang Shuang.

Shuangshuang secretly looked up at Feng Junhou, then pursed her lips, deliberately covering the words she wrote.

Feng Junhou coughed, turned his head and said to General Guan:

"Kids, actually..."

General Guan was furious, and when he heard Feng Junhou open his mouth, he knew what he wanted to say, so he yelled immediately: "Shut up..."

Then he glanced at Shuangshuang again, as if realizing something, his tone suddenly softened, and he said softly:

"If Ah Lang is fine, you might as well go ahead and have a look. After all, you have been away from Chang'an for so long, and you may have accumulated a lot of official business."

The so-called front is naturally the government office that handles public affairs.

"Is there any official business? Isn't Siniang here?"

I just got off Si Niang's couch, don't I know if the government office has any official duties?

However, Feng Junhou naturally didn't dare to say this kind of thing in front of General Guan.

It's just that seeing that the mother and daughter don't want to see him, Feng Junhou is also embarrassed to stay for a long time.

At this time, a greeting card sent by the servant saved Feng Junhou's face:

"Your Majesty, someone is coming to visit."

Feng Junhou was startled, reached out to take it, and opened it:

"Zhu Ju Zhu Zifan? Hey, the name sounds familiar, but why can't I remember who it is?"

Who is this person?

No manners at all.

I don’t know, Junhou, I just came back from a patrol outside, do I need to rest?

According to the general practice, how to say it is the third day to come to visit.

Feng Junhou was muttering, but General Guan, who was sitting at the door, got up and walked over, took the greeting card, and reminded:

"Is it someone sent by Wu Guo to learn how to ride and fight?"

"Hey!"

Feng Junhou patted his thigh, "I'll just say, how come it sounds so familiar."

It is precisely because he knew that this person was sent by Wu Guo, so he had collected this person's information early on.

Unexpectedly, after such a long time, I didn't remember it for a while.

When General Jing Guan reminded him, Feng Junhou couldn't help touching his chin:

"According to the collected information, this person is Sun Shiwan's son-in-law. He is humble and generous, and he cares about wealth. Sun Quan once said that this person is a generation after Lu Meng who is well-equipped with both civil and military skills."

Hearing the word Lu Meng, General Guan's eyes flashed, and he said:

"My concubine and Ah Lang go to the front to see this person."

He came from the Zhu family, one of the four surnames in Wu County, and according to Zhu, he was also a descendant of an aristocratic family.

In addition to being well-equipped with both civil and military skills, his appearance and demeanor are also extraordinary.

Naturally, he also knew that it would be too impolite for him to come to visit the host's family just after he came back from outside.

It's just that he came here on the mission of Emperor Wu. He didn't expect that from the moment he entered the Han Kingdom, it was like being walked by a donkey. He followed someone's buttocks and walked more than half of the Han Kingdom.

This made Zhu Ju really suspicious in his heart. Could it be that Feng Guiwang, known for his foresight and foresight, was deliberately avoiding him?

So there must be some sense of injustice in my heart-since you are rude first, so what's the matter with me being rude later?

Don't forget, there are still a group of people from your country of Han who are learning how to steer a boat in our country of Wu.

When Feng Junhou and General Guan came to the front hall, they didn't know at all that what they were going to face was Zhu Shi who was full of doubts.

"But General Zhu face to face? Haha, some are far away, some are far away!"

When Feng Junhou saw Zhu Ju, he cupped his hands again and again, smiling all over his face.

Little did he know that his words and deeds reminded Zhu Ju of a word: cunning words.

When I can't find you, you hide from me.

Now that I have finally caught you, and you put on this look again, do you think I will be fooled?

"Feng Junhou, Zhu has admired his name for a long time. It is really not easy to meet Junhou."

After all, he was also from a noble family, no matter how dissatisfied he was in his heart, his self-cultivation still made Zhu Ju return a gift to Feng Junhou.

It's just that his tone was a little stiff, and the smile on his face was even more stiff.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Feng Junhou couldn't help feeling a little puzzled:

Didn't it mean that Zhu Zifan is a bold man who despises money in righteousness?

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be a hard-to-reach character.

What does he mean by the expression that Sun Quan's daughter is dead now?

Thinking in my heart, but my hand is not slow:

"General Zhu, please sit down, please sit up."

After serving tea for the host and guest, Feng Junhou took the initiative to speak again:

"The general came from a long way, but Yong has been away all the time. It's really rude not to see the general in time."

Zhu Ju saw Feng Junhou's enthusiastic appearance, and the resentment in his heart dissipated a little.

I secretly thought that the main purpose of my coming here is to learn the method of riding and fighting. If I can not offend this person right now, it is better not to offend him.

"Don't dare, it's because I was in a hurry, and I didn't inform Junhou in advance, so I didn't know that Junhou was going on inspection, but it made me miss the opportunity to meet Junhou."

Feng Junhou laughed: "It's all a coincidence. If I had known that General Zhu would come, I would have waited longer in Hedong."

"After all, there is one of the most elite cavalry troops of the big man stationed on the east side of the river. General Zhu can just see what the big man's cavalry looks like."

Believe your ghost!

Maybe you knew that I was coming, so you ran away on purpose to prevent me from seeing the cavalry of the Liangzhou Army.

But seeing Feng Junhou take the initiative to bring up the matter of cavalry, Zhu Ju is no longer polite:

"Feng Junhou also knows that a certain person came here this time because he was ordered by my lord to learn the riding and fighting skills of a big man."

"Feng Junhou is the most proficient horseman in the world, so this time, I'm going to bother Feng Junhou."

Feng Junhou heard the words and quickly waved his hands:

"I'm sorry. In fact, what happened before this battle is not my expertise. It's all the work of the general in the army."

It's coming again, is it possible that you still want to trick me?

Zhu Ju despised someone in his heart.

If you are not good at things before the battle, then how did you become a famous general in the world?

Could it be that the Wei thieves you defeated were all incompetent?

"Jun Hou is really humble. Even in Great Wu, he knows that Jun Hou is a famous general in the world. Since leading the army, he has never lost a single defeat."

"If such a record is achieved, and you still say that you are not good at the front, who in the world dare to say that you are good at the front?"

"The two countries of Wu and Han formed an alliance to fight against thieves. Now the great Han sent people to learn the art of sailing in Wu. According to their talents, they were sent by His Majesty to learn how to ride and fight."

"In this way, Wu and Han learn from each other's strengths and complement each other's weaknesses, and they just work together to hunt down thieves."

Feng Junhou said in his heart, the materials say that you are good at debating and questioning, but you are really better at speaking than me.

"Okay, since General Zhu said so, then I won't be hypocritical. Dare I ask General Zhu, do you want to learn the art of fine cavalry or the art of iron cavalry?"

Hearing what Feng Junhou said, Zhu Ju, who originally thought he would have to spend a lot of time talking, was a little surprised:

"Your Majesty agreed?"

"It's about the alliance between the two countries, how dare I not agree?"

For a moment, Zhu Ju didn't speak immediately, and couldn't help but suspect:

It seems that the rumor of "Feng Langjun's clever words and charming looks..." is not so accurate?
