The things in my mind were gradually emptied, and I was completely free of thoughts and worries.

"Mr. Lang!"

Wang Laoer's shouts were heard outside, as loud as the earth.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Yang Xuan's mood was broken.

Wang Laoer came in with an angry look on his face and said, "There is a burglar in my house."

"Huh?" Yang Xuan asked, "What was stolen?"

Wang Laoer said aggrievedly: "All the dried meat I hid has been taken away."

"I'll resupply you later."

After coaxing Wang Laoer away, Yang Xuan said quietly: "It seems that there is no peace in the city!"

During lunch, Cao Ying mentioned what happened recently.

"Someone sneaked into the backyard, first entered Wang Laoer's room, and stole the dried meat. The next day, he entered Lang Jun's room. As soon as he entered, Yi Niang noticed him, and then escaped."

"That's okay." Yang Xuan said: "If you want to steal my things, you won't use the dick's dried meat to scare the snake. It's okay."

"My dear sir." Cao Ying flattered her out of habit and then said another thing, "Prince Wei has been traveling frequently between Lin'an and Taiping recently..."

He stopped here and Yi Niang said angrily: "Can you finish what you said!"

Cao Ying coughed dryly, "Many things can only be understood but not expressed."

"Then why are you still talking?" Yi Niang patted the table, "From now on, if you have something to do, all you have to do is give me a wink. What are you doing... just keep silent."

Women are unreasonable!

Cao Ying frowned, "This is fun among scholars."

Yi Niang said disdainfully: "You are just pretending to be mysterious and sophisticated. You were like this back then, and I told you that you were sick. Over the years, your condition seems to have become more and more serious, so I invited Chen Huagu to come over.

You take care of it."

Cao Ying was angry, "Can you still talk easily?"

Yi Niang patted the table and said, "It's not easy for you to talk to me first."

The two argued for a while and ended with Yi Niang's victory.

Yi Niang said proudly: "Back then, when I was invincible, you were still dragging me down!"

Wang Laoer swallowed the mutton and opened his mouth to send a rainbow fart, "Yiniang is mighty."

The old thief said smoothly, "Yiniang is mighty."

Cao Ying ate her food in a few moments, stood up and said, "A gentleman does not argue with a woman."

"Ha!" Yi Niang raised her eyebrows reservedly.

After dinner, Yang Xuan and Cao Ying went to the study.

"King Wei is trying to win over people." Cao Ying has been observing King Wei recently and has some insights, "King Wei frequently wins over Northern Xinjiang officials and generals, I feel a little impatient."

"Regardless of whether he is impatient or not, he is trying to win over officials and generals in Chenzhou. What will I win over in the future?" Yang Xuan touched his chin and thought for a moment, "He is too impatient. Could it be that something happened?"

Cao Ying said with a smile: "I have become the county magistrate. Langjun will only plan for political achievements and make friends. He will go to Chenzhou only when everything is ready. When the time comes, I will be optimistic about the foundation of Taiping for Langjun. A few years later... it will make people look forward to it.

ah!"

…

"Your Majesty, Yang Xuan is back."

Huang Ping entered the study and saw King Wei sitting there drinking. He sighed: "Your Majesty, why are you doing this?"

King Wei was silent.

Huang Ping advised earnestly: "Your Majesty's frequent visits to Chenzhou these days have attracted many people's attention. They all say that Your Majesty is too impatient and can't wait to win over the officials and generals of Northern Xinjiang. If this word spreads to Chang'an, I am afraid that the King of Yue will

I’m going to be very proud of myself.”

King Wei said calmly: "Get out!"

Huang Ping was about to speak but stopped, sighed and left.

…

Yang Xuan rested in his mansion for half a day and went to the foot of the mountain early the next morning.

"I've seen the Ming Dynasty."

More than two thousand Taiping troops lined up to wait.

Nan He stepped forward and saluted, "Please give me instructions." He lowered his voice and said, "After the last battle, the soldiers were a little discouraged."

Once a person achieves success, he is like a soft-boiled man who found a rich wife and never wants to work hard again. This is normal.

Yang Xuan stepped forward.

These soldiers gradually lost their aura of criminals and transformed into tough men.

"Our Taiping Army performed outstandingly in this battle. When my husband mentioned our army in Taoxian County, he was full of praise!"

Everyone couldn't help but be happy.

Some people couldn't help but raise their hands.

"Say!" Yang Xuan nodded.

The sergeant who raised his hand said, "I dare to ask Mr. Lang how our husband praised us."

Everyone needs affirmation. Children need affirmation from their parents, relatives, and people around them, which can help them build confidence. Adults need affirmation from their family members and those in authority.

Yang Xuan said: "My husband said that our Taiping Army is as strong as tigers."

He recalled Huang Chunhui's expression at that time and those words: A group of tough bandits!

I am the bandit leader!

"Bei Liao is newly defeated, and He Lianfeng will not give up. Before Chenzhou, we were the three major tribes, and in Taiping, we are currently the Waxie tribe."

Yang Xuan pointed to the distance, "We have cultivated a lot of fields this year, and the farmers are eagerly waiting for the harvest. Taxes will be paid on the harvested grain. Who will the taxes be used for?"

He pointed at the soldiers, "Use it for you. The armor you wear, the swords and guns you hold, the horses beside you, and the food you eat three times a day are all those that the common people raised in the fields with their hands.

It was dug out in sweat on the loom. Now someone wants to take it all away, can we agree?"

"cannot!"

"Louder!"

"cannot!"

The faces of each of the soldiers turned red, and their eyes were filled with anger.

Yang Xuan nodded, "Then practice with all your heart."

Nan He praised: "Now that the Ming government is asking them to go through fire and water, I think they will be happy with it. The Ming government's methods of boosting morale are brilliant."

"It is useless to use reason to these people. It is better to use it to benefit them." Yang Xuan thought of the movie he saw in the scroll. "What do they want and what do they want to protect? Then tell them what is threatening them now."

With these things they want to protect.”

Nan He stood there and raised his head for a long time, "Protection, men have to protect their mothers, their wives and children, and their friends. They also have to protect their jobs, the farmers who farm for them, and the weaving for them.

Women...yes, protection, only protection can make men work hard for it."

"My husband is so clever!" Nan He wanted to look for Yang Xuan, but Yang Xuan had already left.

"Where's Mr. Lang?"

"Said he was going to the south of the city."

South of the city.

Gu Zhong stood by the stove, observing the color of the molten iron.

"I've met Mr. Lang."

Gu Zhong turned around and saw Yang Xuan coming in with the old thief and Wang Laoer, and said happily: "Lang Jun's method is really clever. Now you can make a furnace of iron in an hour."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yang Xuan nodded, "Are you having any difficulties?"

"Yes." Gu Zhong pointed to the stove and said, "Pig iron can be poured into the mold, but it is quite troublesome to make wrought iron. It is difficult to pick up the molten iron when it comes out."

Yang Xuan stopped, as if thinking about something.

"This matter is troublesome, but I'm worried about it." Gu Zhong felt that he was going too far and threw such difficult problems to Mingfu.

Several bellows-pulling criminals thought the same way, and they all smiled at Gu Zhong, thinking that he was stubborn in his work. No wonder he was robbed of credit by superior officials in the Ministry of Industry.

Yang Xuan suddenly said, "You haven't thought of a way yet?"

Gu Zhong said with shame: "I have tried several methods, but none of them are very good. I also wasted a lot of iron."

"The iron was turned into iron slag, which the Taiping Army could use." In the last war, the Taiping Army used iron slag, which caused the Northern Liao people to suffer a lot.

"Yes." Gu Zhong said gratefully: "That is to say, the Ming government was generous. In the past, villains worked in the workshops of the Ministry of Works. If they made mistakes, or failed to do well within the time limit set by the superior officials, they would either be punished or punished.
