It was rare for him to have some free time and be able to develop steadily for a while. Naturally, Yuan Shu kept a close eye on the ordnance factory, preparing to update the weapons of his soldiers.

Unlike Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others, who were too poor to even be equipped with ordinary armor, swords and guns, and mostly used junk weapons such as pewter guns and leather armor. Yuan Shu now had enough money and food, so naturally he had to continuously improve weapons and equipment.

Strengthen, thus forming equipment crushing.

Among the equipment, the most meaningful ones at present are armor and crossbows. No matter how sharp the swords and guns are, if you encounter the soldiers under Cao Cao and Liu Bei who are not even equipped with armor, it will all happen at the same time, and the difference is not big. As for crossbows and armors

, once there is a breakthrough, it will be a qualitative change.

"Huang Lao, I heard that your daughter has also made achievements in this field, right? Are you interested in letting her give it a try?" Yuan Shu, who was experimenting with the ballista, suddenly asked Huang Chengyan.

"A certain woman is indeed talented, but as a woman, how can she show her face outside? What's more, she already has a husband, and that's even more unacceptable," Huang Chengyan said.

Looking at this old antique who has never changed, Yuan Shu couldn't deny it. The values ​​​​of an era are not so easy to challenge. Although Yuan Shu has been committed to improving the status of women in this era, he cannot reverse these common values ​​​​in a short time.

The issue of the women's college almost caused a falling out between Yuan Shu and Rulin. If it weren't for the middleman Cai Yong and Cai Yan, Yuan Shu would have been scolded to death. That's it. After women's colleges gradually became popular,

It only alleviates the value that women's lack of talent is a virtue, and the situation of men being superior to women has not changed.

Although as a man, Yuan Shu had his own selfish motives, the treatment of women in the Han Dynasty was pretty good in ancient times. This era is indeed not suitable for promoting the equality between men and women of later generations. The productivity and social structure are such that women are naturally lagging behind.

In terms of status, Yuan Shu could only try his best to protect some rights of women legally.

"Just like a workshop, isn't it enough to build a separate area for women? I heard that your daughter's talent in this area is much better than that of an old antique like you. This time the repeating crossbow was made by her.

The design was improved. Don't you think it's too much to confine such a talented woman at home?" Yuan Shu raised his eyebrows.

"Your Majesty is right, Chengyan, wouldn't it be a pity to keep Yueying as talented and learned as she is at home?" Mo Shen heard this and quickly agreed.

He has coveted Huang Chengyan's daughter Huang Yueying for a long time. Of course, at nearly fifty years old, he is not an old pervert. What he calls coveting is because of her talent.

He and Huang Chengyan, who both had profound knowledge in the art of mechanism craftsmanship, were close friends, so naturally he had met his daughter. At that time, he was amazed by her talent and knowledge, and wanted to accept her as a disciple and serve as a subordinate of the Mohist family.

She was trained by a generation of Mozi, but the old man Huang Chengyan disagreed. As for Huang Yueying's gentle and virtuous personality, her father did not agree. Naturally, she could not disobey her father's orders, so the matter was left unresolved.

But Mo Shen has never given up this idea. It is hard to find a good master, but it is also hard to find a good apprentice. The Mohist family has declined for so many years, and the master-disciple inheritance has long been discontinued. They basically rely on inherited books for self-study. Just like him, his

The master is the previous generation Mozi, but he just learned a little bit about the mechanism crafting method inherited by the Mo sect and introduced him to the sect. The rest depends on his self-study. Fortunately, he himself is a genius, and he has passed on the inheritance through self-study.

Understood one-tenth of the knowledge.

Don't underestimate these ten or two, because in the past two hundred years, he can be regarded as the number one person. There is no way, he was targeted too hard by his arch-rival Confucianism, so it would be good if he can still breathe. Many

The knowledge cannot be recorded in books and can only be taught through hand-to-hand teaching between master and disciple.

But in Huang Yueying, Mo Shen saw the hope of carrying forward Momen. Although she is a daughter, her skillful hands and exquisite heart are hard to find in the world. At the beginning, Mo Shen, as an elder, gave her a self-defense

He had a mechanism box that could fire hidden needles, but he never expected that it would be completely dismantled in an instant. After observing it for a while, he reassembled it and even made some suggestions for improvement.

At that time, Mo Shen felt that he was ashamed, but he was even more ecstatic and excited because he had discovered a genius. Although Huang Chengyan did not allow him to accept disciples, and Huang Yueying was not allowed to join the Momen, Mo Shen still recruited Mo

All the books passed down by the family, including those at the bottom of the box, were copied and given to Huang Yueying.

Nowadays, Momen is so immortal that he no longer cares about inheritance and secrets. Being able to carry it forward is the key. Look at the legalists, military strategists, and farmers among the hundreds of schools, all of them are doing well.

Shui Qi. As for the Mohists, they were also highly valued by Yuan Shu, but they did not achieve much.

Although basically all the craftsmen were deceived into the Mohist family by this Mohist giant, his ability as a Mohist giant is indeed slightly insufficient. For example, Zheng Hun and Huang Chengyan are all comparable to him in ability. In order to truly restore the Mohism

In order to achieve the glory of the sect, he needs people who are astoundingly talented and can carry the banner.

Huang Chengyan glanced at Mo Shen lightly: "I understand what you are thinking, don't even think about it."

Then he pointed at Mo Shen and looked at Yuan Shu: "Your Majesty, my daughter can come to help, but please promise me not to let this guy get entangled with a certain daughter."

Yuan Shu looked at the two old men in confusion: "What's going on? Mr. Mo is causing trouble for your daughter?"

"He insists on accepting his little girl as his disciple, and wants her to inherit his position as a powerful figure in the Mo family. It's really abominable." Huang Chengyan blew his beard and glared.

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Huang Chengyan looked at Yuan Shu and said in an incomprehensible tone: "My little girl is ugly and not suitable for communicating with outsiders. How can she be a disciple of the Mohist sect? What's more, my little girl's husband is now a high-ranking official and is highly valued by His Majesty. There is

This virtuous son-in-law and my daughter are even more unfit to appear in public."

When Huang Chengyan recruited Zhuge Liang as his son-in-law, Huang Chengyan took a fancy to his talent, and now it turns out that he has a keen eye for people. All the people in the aristocratic family are now amazed by Huang Chengyan's vision and luck, and he has caught a future prime minister in one fell swoop.

.

Although the Huang family was one of the four great aristocratic families in Jingxiang at the beginning, with the fall of Huang Zu, their vitality was severely damaged, and their former glory was completely lost, and their status was greatly reduced. However, with Zhuge Liang's appointment as the Southern Barbarian, and later Yuan Shu's

With a single edict, the already declining Huang family became a hot celebrity overnight. Even Cai Mao personally sent people to send congratulatory gifts, and his status suddenly skyrocketed into a big family that could rival the Cai family.

Huang Chengyan understood very well that too much is not enough. He already had a son-in-law who would be the prime minister in the future. If his daughter became a powerful Mohist tycoon, it would be a disaster rather than a blessing. Just like Cai Mao now, Yuan Shu has been keeping an eye on him.

It's not bad to be beaten at every turn. If Yuan Shu is buried in the future and the next emperor ascends the throne, if the Cai family continues to act like this, there will definitely be a catastrophe.

Huang Chengyan saw clearly that although Cai Yi was deeply favored by Yuan Shu and had countless money in his hands, but because of this, his son would definitely not become the next emperor in the future. If Cai Mao is already so greedy and unwilling to cut off a strong man's wrist, then he will

When the Cai family died.

Yuan Shu glanced at Huang Chengyan in surprise. This old man seemed stubborn, but he was really mature and saw things very clearly! As Zhuge Liang's wife, Huang Yueying was definitely not suitable to become a Mohist giant, but Yuan Shu didn't care.
