Become a feudal king from today

"What kind of armor is this?"

Scanning the shape of the armor on the picture, Chang Wei's eyes could not move away. Read

"Is this armor for me?"

The two sets of armor, he recognized the front one, it was scale armor.

He had never seen the back one, but seeing so much coverage, he felt that it was not an ordinary item.

"Your Highness, is this for me?" Chang Wei said happily.

"No, it's for all the soldiers." Zhao Xu said.

Chang Wei was shocked and speechless.

The armor drawn by the King of Yan is very fine. In Dasong, only generals can wrap it so tightly.

It's good for ordinary soldiers to wear armor with some scraps of iron pieces sewn on.

If all his soldiers wear such armor, he can't imagine it.

"Your Highness, if the royal family's personal army can have such armor, I can fight into the grassland." Chang Wei said excitedly.

"Don't brag now, wait until you get better and fight into the grassland." Zhao Xu smiled.

But despite this, he is also looking forward to it.

Although weapons are not the only criterion for victory in war.

But why not go if there are such conditions?

Chang Wei's old face turned red and he scratched his head.

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

After giving Chang Wei a few more instructions, Zhao Xu left.

Chang Wei's physical fitness is good, and the infection has healed.

With such an arrow wound, he can probably get out of bed after resting for seven or eight days.

He will probably be able to jump around in ten days or half a month, after all, his leg is not injured.

He walked out of the palace and was about to go to the Armory.

Suddenly he saw Doctor Hu coming with a medicine box on his back.

When he saw him, he immediately came up to him.

"Your Highness, I have something to ask of you." Doctor Hu's eyes were shining, and he looked at Zhao Xu as if he was in his first love.

"Do you want my medicine?" Zhao Xu asked, and he remembered Feng'er's words.

Doctor Hu nodded, "I have several of them who are dying because of the red and swollen wounds. I hope Your Highness will give me some medicine to try, and this will be enough to determine whether Your Highness's medicine is really useful?" Zhao Xu nodded, thinking that the old man was quite rigorous. He still suspected that Chang Wei survived on his own. "Okay." Zhao Xu called Feng'er, "Give Doctor Hu a jar to take back." Feng'er responded and led Doctor Hu away. When they arrived at the middle courtyard, Feng'er asked someone to open the big jar. Doctor Hu's eyes immediately became straight, and he kept begging, "Miss Feng, give me more, give me more." Feng'er smiled and said, "Doctor Hu, this jar is full, why is there more?" Doctor Hu saw that Chang Wei gradually got better after applying the medicine externally and taking it internally, and he felt itchy in his heart. He had never heard of or seen this thing. The most important thing is that this medicine can save lives. In Yancheng, there are many people who died every year from being bitten by wild beasts and being injured by swords. The most important thing is, if this medicine enters the army, how many soldiers can be saved.

So, he tossed and turned at night and couldn't fall asleep, and his mind was full of whether this medicine was really useful.

That's why he shamelessly asked King Yan for medicine.

Now that King Yan agreed, he naturally wanted more.

So when he saw Feng'er was young, he deliberately took advantage of his seniority and wanted to take more advantage.

So he said: "Your Highness can give one jar, you can give two jars, Miss Feng might as well get another jar."

Feng'er rolled her eyes after hearing this: "Doctor Hu, your Highness says how much, not more at all. Your Highness asked me to manage the palace, I dare not be careless."

After that, she asked the servant to cover the medicine jar and left.

Doctor Hu looked embarrassed, thinking that Miss Feng was beautiful, but she was difficult to deal with.

He could only look back at the medicine jar and leave.

After treating Chang Wei and prescribing another prescription, Doctor Hu returned to the clinic.

He immediately asked his apprentice to replace the patient who had a fever due to the red and swollen wound.

Then he gave the three people the medicine for internal and external use according to the amount used by Chang Wei.

Arms and Arms Department.

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

The last blast furnace 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 larger than the first blast furnace.

"Don't stop day and night, speed up the construction of the blast furnace, the armor of the royal army is imminent and can't be delayed." Zhao Xu ordered.

June is about to pass, and he doesn't have much time left.

Wang Ying held the drawings given to him by Zhao Xu in his hand.

The King of Yan has already told him that this is the armor that the Arms and Arms Department will make next.

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

And this requires a lot of steel.

If it were the previous Arms and Arms Department, even if he was given a year, he would not dare to guarantee that he could smelt so much steel.

But now he has this confidence. As long as the materials are sufficient, he can smelt enough steel in two months.

Seeing that the foundation of the blast furnace was well laid, Zhao Xu and Wang Ying went to the Liuzhang River.

He said, "Do you know about the water pestle?"

Wang Ying smiled and said, "Your Highness, I know this very well. It is a tool used by the people to pound grains. It is built along the river, and the water flow drives the wheel, which drives the hammer handle up and down."

Zhao Xu nodded and asked, "Blacksmiths' hammering is similar to this, right?"

Wang Ying frowned and suddenly realized, "Your Highness, you mean to use the water pestle to forge steel tools?"

"Well, you are quite smart." Zhao Xu laughed.

It is easy to communicate with Wang Ying who understands technology.

"Whether it is plate armor or scale armor, they all need to be tempered, and this consumes a lot of time. However, something called a hydraulic forging hammer can use water power day and night to greatly speed up the process of making iron tools. With such speed, this hydraulic forging hammer can be transformed from a water hammer," Zhao Xu said slowly.

"Water-powered forging hammer?" Wang Ying was horrified.

There are erected nail pieces on the straight pole of the water hammer, and each nail piece corresponds to a hammer handle.

The straight rod rotates, the nail plate moves the hammer handle, and the hammer head can fall once.

In this way, as long as the water hammer is made larger, more than a dozen forging hammers can be used to hammer and shape the iron tools day and night.

"Why didn't I think of it? Why did I just think of it?" Wang Ying patted his 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 ancient people was infinite.

It's just that sometimes it's used in the wrong direction.

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

In modern times, there is still gunpowder. People use it to make guns and cannons, but they use it to set off firecrackers.

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

Just renovate it and change it to another use, and it will come in handy.

"I don't need to say more about the rest. The Liuzhan River is turbulent, and the Bingzhan Division is built along the river. It would be a waste not to borrow water power." Zhao Xu looked at the green river water.

"Your Majesty, I understand. I will ask the carpenter to build a giant water hammer today. No, a water-powered forging hammer." Wang Ying bowed.

But he suddenly remembered that the Department of War had to do so many things at once and was short of manpower, so he said: "Your Highness, if we are doing so many things at the same time, I'm afraid we don't have enough manpower."

Zhao Xu thought of this issue when he came.

The slaves Wang Yanzhong sent last time still had some that were of no importance.

He said: "I will send you more than 200 people later."

Remembering that Wang Ying sent a large number of people to dig limestone in the mountains, he said: "Call back the people who dig limestone. I will solve these things for you."

Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief.

After giving instructions on important matters in the near future, Zhao Xu left the War Department and went to Yan County Trading Company.

For ease of management.

Nowadays, wealthy families have specially built a shop to serve as a trading house.

This station is right next to the Golden Scale Pond.

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

So naturally I thought of placing the trading company next to the Golden Scale Pond.

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

"Your Highness, what kind of wind has brought you here?"

On the west bank of Jinlin Pond, opposite to the east bank, Tianxiang Tower is where the trading house is located.

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

Hearing the reputation, he turned out to be Dong An.

"It turns out to be Dalang." Dong An is the boss at home.

The general polite title of Dasong is Lang, and the order in the family is followed.

So he called Dong An Dalang.

"I haven't seen His Highness for a few days. I miss you very much." Dong An came up to greet him and bowed to invite Zhao Xu in.

These days, all his opportunities to see Zhao Xu were taken away by his father.

Although I wasn't angry in my heart, my arms couldn't twist my thighs.

So when I saw Zhao Xu, he was extremely attentive.

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

Zhao Xu was asked to sit down at the main seat, and Dong An ordered tea to be served.

At this time, I learned that King Yan was coming, and a descendant of a wealthy family came out to greet him.

Yang He came down from upstairs and came over with a smile on his face.

Now the family's fields are all handed over to the palace.

They no longer had to patrol the farm.

The family thought their idleness was an eyesore, so they all were sent to the business.

"Your Highness, I wonder why you came here today?" Dong An asked immediately when he saw Yang He coming.
