Three Kingdoms

The front of the main hall of Moriyama Academy has been surrounded by a curtain for the past few days. Labor craftsmen are coming in and out, extremely busy, and no one knows what they are doing.

On this day, the curtain was finally removed, revealing the new look of the main hall of Shouyama Academy.

Located on the left front side of the Academy Hall, in the open space in the square in front of the palace, a small archway has been newly built. In the middle of the archway, there is a lintel decorated with logs. On the lintel, a piece of The plaque has the words "Eternal Grace" written on it.

Lintels gradually became popular during the Han Dynasty. The lintel is a manifestation of status. Ordinary people are not qualified to erect lintels. The popular word "glorious lintel" is actually an intuitive expression of people's yearning for power and wealth.

"Eternal favor?"

"There's more behind this!"

The archway has two sides, and there is naturally a plaque on the back. The words on it are replaced by "Unity of Knowledge and Action."

“Unity of knowing and doing?”

This concept was proposed by Wang Shouren, a Confucian scholar of psychology, only in the Ming Dynasty. It was undoubtedly extremely novel in the Han Dynasty. After seeing these four words, many people couldn't help but murmured them several times. Some people seemed to understand something, while others still looked up at the plaque, dazed.

While these people were pondering these words, Fei Qian was at home, trying on the latest armor developed by Huang's workshop.

In the Han Dynasty, Mingguang armor and lock armor had already appeared, but because of the complicated craftsmanship, they were not the first choice for large-scale equipment.

The value of a pair of armor is much higher than ordinary swords and guns, so in many cases, princes with limited financial resources would rather equip their peasant soldiers with swords and guns than distribute armor on a large scale.

The iron armor of the Han Dynasty actually evolved from the armor of the Qin Dynasty, and the armor of the Qin Dynasty was transformed from the leather armor of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In other words, in the Qin Dynasty, due to the large-scale The wars between countries catalyzed the armor's transformation from leather to metal. In the three to four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, because although there were some battles on the border, within the overall Han Dynasty, except for that time during the Wang Mang period, Apart from the nationwide turmoil, most of the time it is relatively calm, so there is not enough motivation to develop armor.

But now, the situation has quietly changed.

"...How is it?" Huang Yueying watched Fei Qian put on the armor with joy, then swung Fei Qian around in a circle and kept asking.

Several hundred descendants of the Huang clan are now with Fei Qian. Part of it is in Pingyang and nearby counties, and part of it is in the workshop. Now that Fei Qian's career has been fully developed, the Huang family's descendants also have many more errands, which can be easily distributed and accommodated.

Especially after there were some so-called Mohist disciples in the workshop, the development of weapons and armor seemed to be moving towards more and more sophisticated methods.

Although Huang Yueying also likes to make some equipment, if she really goes to the workshop, it will not be very convenient for Huang Yueying or the staff in the workshop. It is better to just make one by herself in the house like now. A small workshop, and if you need some materials or something to be processed, you can have them taken to a large workshop outside the city.

Huang Yueying is now gradually growing longer. Perhaps because of the trade with the Hu people in Pingyang City in Bingyang City, there is relatively more meat supply, so the head is raised a little higher, and now it is almost the same as Fei Qian's shoulders. It's flush.

The wind and frost in the north were heavier, but they were defeated in front of Huang Yueying. Perhaps it is God's compensation. Although Huang Yueying's skin color is darker, it is very delicate. After so many days, Fei Qian has never even seen Huang Yueying have the most common acne for girls of this age...

Iron armor, also known as black armor. In fact, it is not that mysterious, but because in order to prevent rust, most of them are dyed with a layer of black paint, so it is dark, so it is called mysterious armor.

The armor of the Han Dynasty was crushing to the surrounding barbarians. If it was just to fight against the barbarians, the current iron armor would be enough. But the problem is that the next opponents are not only the barbarians.

Therefore, the research of armor has always been an important topic within the workshop.

This time it is a simplified version of the Mingguang Armor, testing the possibility of large-scale mass production.

Because the iron armor used now actually has many weaknesses. In addition to the silk ribbons being easily worn and broken, they can also become gaps in the battle formation and be cut and punctured by enemy weapons. There is another point that is more troublesome. The thing is that iron pieces rust too easily, and this rust is like onychomycosis on the human body. One infects two people. As long as you are not careful, you will infect a large area. If the rust is not removed by this time, it is very likely that The entire armor is useless.

To clean the iron armor, you must first untie the silk tapes at the four corners of the iron armor, then remove the armor. After polishing the rust, it is best to apply a layer of black paint and wait until it dries before putting it on. Silk ribbon, make up for the original position.

So normally, craftsmen accompanying the army would carry a large number of armor pieces for replacement, and if they encounter rusty armor pieces, they would directly replace them, and then slowly process those rusty armor pieces so as not to delay the fighter aircraft.

Even so, it is still very troublesome. Often due to the tightness of the battle, the soldiers have to transfer the iron armor pieces from the back of the body to the front for emergencies.

In the final analysis, Fei Qian has also done investigations and research, and it is because of the structure of the iron armor. There is nothing wrong with the fact that the iron sheets are painted with black paint to prevent rust, but because the loose sheets are connected with silk tape, whether in normal time or during combat, the silk tape and the iron sheets, and the iron sheets and the iron sheets rub against each other. As a result, the layer of black paint used to prevent rust wears off easily. After exposure to moist air, the iron pieces naturally begin to rust.

To solve such a problem, one is to completely solve it in terms of materials and develop stainless steel. However, such a technology tree looks easy but is too difficult to climb, so we turned to another direction, reducing the number of iron sheets and using large pieces. Iron armor replaces finely divided iron pieces, thereby reducing problems caused by friction between iron pieces.

Mingguang Armor uses large pieces of iron on the chest and back for protection. Only on the waist, abdomen and arms, iron armor is used to maintain flexibility, taking into account both protection and flexibility. It has been used since the Han Dynasty. After hundreds of years, it has become the mainstream armor model of the army, and its advantages cannot be underestimated.

But Mingguang Armor also has disadvantages, that is, it consumes more iron than Iron Zha Armor. In other words, it costs more money...

But the money is indeed somewhat worth it.

When Fei Qian put it on, he realized that although the Mingguang Armor was made of a large piece of iron, the overall weight of the armor was lighter than the sleeve armor made of Tie Zha Armor. The most fundamental reason was not because Iron, but because of the skin.

Leather armor used in military equipment is not one layer, but usually three or five layers. The combined weight of these three and five layers of leather is actually not small, especially when encountering some wet conditions. Depending on the weather, a lot of extra weight will be added.

On the battlefield like Fei Qian, even if he doesn't go into battle and fight with his own hands, it actually takes a lot of physical effort.

"...Well, it's really good," Fei Qian said, wearing the Mingguang Armor, twisting left and right, stretching his waist, "...it feels...well, this shoulder is much more comfortable...unlike the sleeve armor, Everything must be resisted by the shoulders..."

Huang Yueying's big eyes smiled crookedly, and she nodded and said: "Well, yes, this Mingguang Armor has a frame inside, which can transfer part of the weight of the armor to the belt, so the shoulders will be lighter. …”

Xiao Mo Dou quickly took credit for Huang Yueying and said: "My little girl came up with this!"

"It's amazing!" Fei Qian naturally praised him without hesitation, and the design was indeed very good. Fei Qian wore the armor and walked a few steps in the hall, then walked back again and said with a smile: "The key is that I didn't feel the support structure inside the armor when I was moving..."

Huang Yueying walked over, then stretched out her hand to gesture on Fei Qian's Mingguang Armor, and said: "Of course Mr. Lang doesn't know, in fact, it is hidden in the gaps in the armor, connected in one place, and finally fell on the belt... ..." As she spoke, Huang Yueying also made gestures, but she didn't know what she thought of. A blush suddenly appeared on her face, and then she spoke softer and lowered her head...

Unfortunately, just when the atmosphere in the hall began to turn into a charming one, an attendant reported that Hu Shao, the master of the academy's wine festival, came to ask for an audience...

"Uncle Kong is here? Ask him to sit in the side hall for a little while..." Fei Qian motioned for Xiao Mo Dou to help remove the armor, and said to Huang Yueying, "...it must be something related to the academy. I will come when I go..."

Huang Yueying pouted slightly, but still nodded gently.

Seeing this, Fei Qian couldn't bear it, so he said: "... This time it's for education... Well, how should I put it, Yueying, do you know... Actually, I thought of this promotion method, and you also have it. Part of the credit..."

"Really?" Huang Yueying's big eyes suddenly curled up.

Fei Qian laughed and said, "Of course! But for now, I'll go to the front hall first, and I'll talk to you in detail when I come back later, okay?"

Huang Yueying nodded quickly, and the expression on her face was naturally much better.

Although part of what Fei Qian said was to comfort Huang Yueying, it was not entirely true. Some of it was indeed true.

Huang Yueying, like most people in the Han Dynasty, actually lacked a certain amount of entertainment, not just ordinary stuff, but entertainment projects full of popular flavor in later generations.

Take the football feast that was celebrated all over the world in later generations as an example. It was a group of people who were crazy about it regardless of rich or poor, national language, male, female, old or young.

In the Han Dynasty, there were no grand gatherings of any scale, let alone the football feasts of later generations. On a normal day, the most you can do is go outing and climb mountains, that's all, and at most you can go to the market.

But the entertainment needs of human nature will not be reduced by the changes of the times.

Fei Qian had seen sacrifices and Nuo dances in the Han Dynasty. As long as there was even the slightest such activity, the surrounding crowds would gather. Although the crowds seemed a bit exaggerated, they were still densely packed with people on three floors inside and three outside.

It can be seen from this that people in the Han Dynasty, including Huang Yueying and others, lacked spiritual entertainment content, so why can't this "enlightenment" be turned into an event like a national carnival?

Why does it have to be very heavy when it comes to education?

Why is it that when it comes to going to Hudi, it seems to be an extremely tragic thing?

Why can't we change the direction of our thinking and change all these original concepts?

Fei Qian has always been good at this thing. For example, if you need to work overtime, it's not because the workload is heavy, but because your personal abilities and skills need to be improved, right? For example, if you need a salary increase, it doesn't mean how much work you can do with how much money, but how much work you need to do before you have enough money, right?

Anyway, for Fei Qian, this theory is as simple as drinking water.

A small football can feed tens of millions of people, and even help some people change their destiny and become stars, so why can't "enlightenment"?

Although Fei Qian did not have any cameras or live broadcast equipment in the Han Dynasty, it did not prevent Fei Qian from making a simplified version of the growth story of "Cinderella Liang".

How do you say something?

Everyone has a Cinderella dream in their hearts?

Although compared with those entertainment projects of later generations, it may be far different in terms of intensity, exciting highlights, storylines, etc., but the problem is that we are in the Han Dynasty now...

Those little tricks in later generations, if used casually, will probably cause people to go crazy.

Binh Duong was already a center of trade at this time. How much money was circulated every day, and the surrounding area had been generally peaceful, so compared to other places, it had better conditions to carry out such an activity.

As for the people of the Han Dynasty, from the time of Emperor Guangwu to the present, it has been passed down for more than a hundred years, and there are few new tricks to play for more than a hundred years. When suddenly a far superior new thing appears in front of everyone, what will these Han people think? How can it not cause a sensation?

What's more, over the past two or three years, there have been quite a few gentry children gathered near Pingyang. These guys all have some money in their waists. As long as these guys are involved, the profits will naturally come rolling in!

At that time, even Fei Qian himself will not have to pay for the education of these personnel from Pingyang's warehouse, and there will be a lot of surplus!

Fei Qian walked forward with a smile and a relaxed pace.

Come on, come on, as long as this trend is stirred up, it will be like the wind blowing up on the grassland, it will gradually become stronger, and eventually it will be overwhelming and unstoppable!
