"Why is Zhang Kun so happy?" Zhang Yue joked.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Kun said with a peach blossom face, "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord..."

Zhang Yue was stunned, "Where does joy come from?"

Zhang Kun smiled and said, "Today the second lady and the third lady suddenly felt unwell..."

"The servant did not dare to neglect, and immediately invited Taichang (the name of a doctor in the Han Dynasty) from the army to enter the house..."

"After being diagnosed by Taichang, both ladies have happy pulses... Congratulations to the Lord..."

Zhang Yue was also extremely surprised when he heard this. He immediately put down other things and went to the mansion.

When he returned to Yunyang Houfu, Cai Ting, Zhao Guanghan, Han Ye, Pan Hong, Mani and others were already waiting in the house.

"Congratulations, Lord!"

As soon as Zhang Yuegang entered the mansion, everyone congratulated him.

Zhang Yue smiled and returned the greetings one by one, then confessed his crime and went to the inner house first.

"Thank you ladies for your hard work..."

Zhang Yue chatted with his two concubines for a while, ordered his servants to take care of his wife, and then prepared to return to the front hall.

When the two girls saw that Zhang Yue was about to leave after sitting for a while, they felt a little disappointed.

After Zhang Yue left, the two women looked at each other and said, "Alas"

The two of them sighed sadly at almost the same time.

Zhang Yue heard the movement behind him, paused for a moment, and walked out of the room.

When they returned to the hall, everyone was discussing enthusiastically how to celebrate this time.

Zhang Yue heard Zhao Guanghan shouting from a distance, "Such a happy event should be treated with wine and music..."

Guo Kai said, "The Lord has a lot of good wine. Zhao Guanghan, you may ask the Lord to take out one or two..."

Zhao Guanghan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Marquis Guo, I will keep it safe for you all as you wish..."

At this time, Zhang Yue laughed and walked into the hall, "Zhao Guanghan, you must be greedy!"

"Junhou!"

"Junhou!"

When everyone heard the sound, they stood up one after another.

Zhao Guanghan laughed out loud, "The Lord knows about me. I have long heard that the Lord has hidden a lot of good wine. It's time to take out some this time..."

Zhang Yue also smiled and said, "I have known for a long time that you have been thinking about a certain fine wine..."

Zhao Guanghan smiled and said, "Who in the whole Luntai has the best wine from Junhou..."

"Hahaha……"

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Zhang Yue was also very happy at this time, so he gave himself half a day off that night and had a good time with everyone.

The next day, when Zhang Yue got up, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Kun outside the door has been waiting for a long time.

After Zhang Yue had finished washing, Zhang Kun came in and asked for instructions, "Your Majesty, have you informed the eldest lady about the two ladies? Also, have you sent an announcement to the King of Khotan and the King of Shache?"

Zhang Yue thought for a moment and said, "I ignored this, and it should be like this... I will leave this matter to your disposal..."

After Zhang Kun left, Zhang Yue thought about it and decided to give himself a day off.

After thinking about it, Zhang Yue prepared to take the two ladies to the countryside for a day.

"Ladies, it's sunny and sunny today, so it's a good day for a trip..."

Khotan and Princess Shache never expected that Zhang Yue would take them on a trip for the first time, and they were both overjoyed.

"Thank you Alang. If you are just traveling with my sister, will you miss Alang's important event?" Princess Khotan asked.

Zhang Yue felt extremely guilty after hearing this. He bowed to the two women and said, "...This is beyond the pale..."

"Alang is the lord of the Western Region, and he is responsible for everything. How can he be trapped by a little girl..."

Although Princess Khotan said this, Zhang Yue still felt a trace of resentment from her tone and expression.

At this time, Zhang Yue stepped forward and hugged the two women and said, "If we can't handle family affairs well, how can we come to the country..."

On that day, Zhang Yue took his two girls to have a fun day outside the city.

On this day, there was a tacit understanding between the top and bottom of the Tianlun Platform and no one was sent to disturb them.

When they returned home in the evening, the two women couldn't help but sigh, "I really hope I can be so happy every day..."

Zhang Yue said ashamedly, "How about traveling every ten days from now on?"

The two women looked surprised, "Are you serious about what A Lang said?"

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Of course I take it seriously..."

…

In the blink of an eye, half a month later, Zhang Yuegang sent away several brothers-in-law.

Pang Yi came to the door with a group of people.

"Your Majesty, Duke Pang has arrived..." the attendant reported

Zhang Yue was delighted when he heard that Pang Yi was visiting.

"Pang Gong is here unexpectedly, please hurry up and invite me!"

Zhang Yue walked out of the hall while talking.

"It seems that the cotton armor should have been made!" he thought in his mind.

When he saw Pang Yi, as he expected, Pang Yi and others brought two boxes, and he thought they should contain newly made cotton armor.

"Pang Gong, please come in quickly!" Zhang Yue greeted him personally.

"Greetings to the lord!" Pang Yi led everyone to salute quickly.

Zhang Yue took Pang Yi and his party back to the hall, and personally made a pot of tea for Pang Yi.

"Pang Gong has a taste first. This is a new recruit who found it from Shu to cover his head..."

Pang Yi said with a smile, "The tea of ​​the king is the best in the world... I should taste it carefully..."

The two of them drank a cup of tea, and then Pang Yi asked his entourage to open the two boxes he was carrying.

"Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Pang Yi took out the contents of the box with a smile on his face, and it turned out to be two sets of cotton armor.

Zhang Yue's eyes lit up and he said with surprise, "Pang Gong has indeed made cotton armor!"

He touched the two sets of cotton armor and then asked, "Can Mr. Pang explain something to me?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look!"

Pang Yi unfolded the cotton armor in the first box and introduced it.

"The princes and subordinates wet the picked cotton and beat it repeatedly to make very thin cotton pieces...Multiple such cotton pieces were then embroidered into very thick and solid cotton cloth...

"Iron armor is embedded between two layers of cotton... and copper nails are used to fix the inside and outside..."

Zhang Yue asked with a smile after listening.

"How much cotton should I use for this armor? How many days can it take to make one armor? How is the effect?"

Pang Yi looked happy, "This armor is made of sixteen jins of cotton, forty jins of iron, and four jins of copper..."

The first thing Pang Yi introduced was the first set of armor, which was a set of cotton-iron composite armor.

"Your Majesty, please do not underestimate this armor. In the eyes of the following officials, this armor is as good as iron armor!"

According to Pang Yi, the protective ability of this cotton-iron composite armor is not much different from that of pure iron armor, but the cost and production speed are much faster.

On average, it only takes a craftsman fifteen days to make it.

After Zhang Yue thought about it in his mind, he smiled and said, "It's so fast. It's as fast as leather armor..."

Pang Yi also smiled when he heard this and said, "Now the craftsmen are not skilled yet. Once they are skilled, they should be faster than leather armor."

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Good... great good..."

Pang Yi heard this and said, "This is all due to the guidance of the king..."

Zhang Yue waved his hand after hearing this, "It's just a sudden thought. Without Pang Gong and all the good craftsmen, how could there be such good armor..."

Pang Yi complimented, "Without the wonderful ideas of the kings and princes, how would we, the stupid people, have thought that cotton can also be used to make armor!"

Zhang Yue laughed loudly at this time, and then he pointed at another pair of armor and said

"Pang Gong, what about this armor?"
