Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 52

[Chapter 52]

“What kind of armor is this?”

Chang Wei couldn’t move his eyes away immediately after glancing at the shape of the armor on the picture.

“Is this the armor for the last general?”

He recognized the two sets of armor in front, and they were scale armor.

He hadn’t seen the one behind, but seeing so much coverage, he also felt that it was not ordinary.

“Your Highness, is this for the last general?” Chang Wei said happily.

“No, it’s for all soldiers.” Zhao Xu said.

Chang Wei was speechless in shock.

The armor painted by King Yan is very sophisticated, and in Dasong, only generals can wrap it so tightly.

It would be nice for ordinary soldiers to wear armor sewn with bits and pieces of iron.

He couldn’t imagine if all his soldiers wore such armor.

“Your Highness, if the royal family’s troops have such armor, they will be able to enter the grassland at last.” Chang Wei said excitedly.

“Don’t brag now, wait until you get better and hit the grassland.” Zhao Xu said with a smile.

But even so, he was looking forward to it.

Although it is said that weapons are not the only criterion for victory in war.

But with this condition why not?

Old Chang Wei blushed and scratched his head.

Because the action involved the wound, he grinned again in pain.

After giving some instructions to Chang Wei, Zhao Xu left.

Chang Wei’s physical fitness is good, and the infection is cured.

Such an arrow wound can probably go to the ground after seven or eight days of rest.

It is estimated that he will be alive and kicking in ten and a half months, after all, he has no injuries on his legs.

Walking to the outside of the palace, he was going to the Military Division.

Suddenly I saw Hu Langzhong coming with a medicine box on his back.

When I saw him, I immediately greeted him.

“Your Highness, Caomin has something to ask.” Hu Langzhong’s eyes were shining, and he looked at Zhao Xu like first love.

“You want my king’s medicine?” Zhao Xu asked, remembering Feng’er’s words.

Hu Langzhong nodded, “A few of the grass people’s hands are also dying due to red and swollen wounds. May His Highness give the medicine a try, and this is enough to tell whether His Highness’s medicine is really useful?”

Zhao Xu nodded, thinking This old man is quite strict.

I still suspect that Chang Wei survived by himself.

“Okay.” Zhao Xu called Feng’er, “Give Hu Langzhong a jar and take it back.”

Feng’er responded and led Hu Langzhong.

When they arrived at the middle courtyard, Feng’er asked people to open the big vat. Hu Langzhong’s eyes straightened immediately, and he kept begging, “Miss Feng, give me more, give me more.”

Feng’er laughed and said, “Hu Langzhong, this jar is full. How can there be more?”

Hu Langzhong felt itchy when he saw that Chang Wei had gradually improved after taking the medicine externally and internally.

He had never heard of it, never seen it.

Most importantly, this drug can save lives.

How many years in this Yancheng were bitten by wild beasts, and those who were wounded by swords died.

The most important thing is, if this medicine enters the army, how many soldiers can be saved.

So, at night, he tossed and turned unable to sleep, his mind was full of whether the medicine was really useful.

Then he had the cheek to ask King Yan for medicine.

Now that King Yan has agreed, he naturally wants more.

So when he saw that Feng’er was young, he deliberately relied on the old to sell the old, hoping to take advantage of it.

So he said: “Your Highness, if you can give one altar, you can give two altars. Miss Feng might as well make another altar.”

Feng’er heard this, and rolled her eyes: “Hu Langzhong, as much as your Highness says, not too much at all, Your Highness lets the servants take care of the palace, and the servants dare not be careless.” After

finishing speaking, she asked the servant to cover the medicine jar , went away.

Hu Langzhong had an embarrassing expression on his face, thinking that this Feng girl was pretty, but she was difficult to deal with.

He could only look back three times and watch the medicine vat leave.

After giving Chang Wei a diagnosis and treatment, another prescription was prescribed, Hu Langzhong went back to the clinic.

He immediately asked his apprentice to exchange the patient who had a fever due to redness and swelling of the wound.

Then give the three people internal and external use according to the amount used by Chang Wei.

Military Division.

After Zhao Xu arrived, he first inspected the blast furnace under construction.

The blast furnace last time was only for testing.

Now the blast furnace he asked Wang Ying to build is officially used for production.

So the height and volume are bigger than the first blast furnace.

“Don’t stop day and night, speed up the construction of the blast furnace, the armor of the royal family’s army is imminent, we can’t delay.” Zhao Xu ordered.

June is about to pass, and there is not much time left for him.

Wang Ying held the blueprint that Zhao Xu gave him.

The King of Yan had told him that this is the armor that Bing Zhansi will make next.

In addition, there are swords, spears, shields and other things.

And that requires a lot of steel.

If it was the former Bing Zhansi, even if he was given a year, he wouldn’t be able to guarantee that he would be able to forge so much steel.

But now he has the confidence that as long as there are enough materials, he can completely smelt a sufficient amount of steel within two months.

Seeing that the foundation of the blast furnace had been laid, Zhao Xu and Wang Ying went to Liuzhan River.

He said, “Dui, do you know?”

Wang Yingwen said with a smile: “Your Highness, this lower official naturally knows that it is a thing used by the people to beat grain. It is built along the river, and the water flows to drive the wheel, and the wheel drives the handle of the hammer to strike up and down.”

Zhao Xu nodded. , and then asked: “Blacksmith hammering is similar to this, isn’t it?”

Wang Ying frowned, and suddenly realized, “Your Highness, you mean to use a hammer to forge steel utensils?”

“Well, you are still smart.” Zhao Xu laughed.

Those who understand technology like Wang Ying are good at communicating.

“Whether it is a piece of plate armor or a piece of scale armor, it needs to be tempered, and this takes a lot of time, and a thing called a hydraulic forging hammer can use water power day and night to greatly speed up the process of making iron tools. Speed, this hydraulic forging hammer can be transformed from a water hammer.” Zhao Xu said slowly.

“Hydraulic forging hammer?” Wang Ying was terrified.

There are erected armor plates on the straight rod of the water hammer, and each armor plate corresponds to a hammer handle.

When the straight rod rotates, the nail piece moves the hammer handle, and the hammer head can fall once.

In this way, as long as the water pestle is enlarged, more than a dozen forging hammers can beat the iron tools day and night to shape the iron tools.

“Why didn’t I think of it, why did I think of it?” Wang Ying patted himself on the head.

In the end, he gave up competing with himself, and set his sights on King Yan, admiring him beyond measure.

Zhao Xu noticed Wang Ying’s expression.

In fact, the wisdom of the ancient people was infinite.

It’s just that sometimes it goes in the wrong direction.

For example, since the water hammer can beat rice to peel it, it can also be used to beat iron.

In contemporary times, there is still gunpowder, which is used by others to make guns and cannons, but is used by oneself to set off firecrackers.

Therefore, many instruments existed in ancient times, but they were used in the wrong place.

Use it to modify it and change its use, and it will come in handy.

“I don’t need to talk about the rest. The Liuzhan River is very fast, and the Bingzhang Division was built along the river. It would be a waste not to use the water power.” Zhao Xu looked at the emerald green river.

“Your official understands, let the carpenter build a giant water hammer, no, a hydraulic forging hammer.” Wang Ying bowed.

It’s just that he suddenly remembered that the Bing Zhansi did so many things at once and was short of manpower, so he said: “Your Highness, I’m afraid there are not enough manpower for so many tasks.”

Zhao Xu thought of this problem when he came.

The servants and maids sent by Wang Yanzhong last time were of no importance.

He said: “The king will send you more than two hundred people later.”

Remembering that Wang Ying sent a large number of people to dig limestone in the mountain, he said: “Call the people who dig the limestone back, and I will give you these things.” Solved.”

Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

After instructing him about the important matters in the near future, Zhao Xu left the Military Division and went to the Yan County Commercial Firm.

For ease of management.

Now the rich people have specially set up a shop as a commercial residence.

This station is by the Golden Scale Pool.

These rich families have now handed over the land at will, but they have begun to get returns from the income from selling wine, and their hands are not tight.

So it was natural to think of putting the firm by the Golden Scale Pond.

In this way, you can not only have fun by yourself, but also entertain merchants who come to buy goods from other places in time.

“Your Highness, what wind brought you here.” On the

west bank of Jinlin Pond, the Tianxiang Building on the opposite east bank is where the firm is located.

When Zhao Xu arrived and looked at the plaque on the two-story building, a voice sounded.

Hearing the reputation and looking around, it was Dong An.

“So it’s Da Lang.” Dong An is the boss at home.

Da Song’s general polite address is Lang, and it is in the order of the family.

So he called Dong An Da Lang.

“I haven’t seen Your Highness for a few days, and I miss Dong so much.” Dong An greeted him, and bowed to invite Zhao Xu to enter.

These days, his father has snatched his chance to meet Zhao Xu.

Although I was not angry, my arms couldn’t twist my thighs.

So when I saw Zhao Xu, he was extraordinarily considerate.

After all, he didn’t want to neglect the relationship with King Yan.

Zhao Xu is invited to sit down at the main seat, and Dong An asks to serve tea.

At this time, when they learned that King Yan was coming, the children of the Hao family came out to greet him.

Yang He came down from upstairs and came over with a grinning face.

Now all the fields in the family have been handed over to the Wangfu.

They no longer need to go to the farm to inspect.

The family thought their idleness was an eyesore, so they all sent them to the commercial firm.

“Your Highness, I don’t know what kindness you have for coming here today?” Dong An immediately asked Yang He when he saw Yang He coming.
