Chapter 389 Qiu Niang

Liang Gewei quickly interjected: "That's very good. Don't worry, sir. I understand that the Gao Kingdom does not suppress warriors like the Song Dynasty. As long as you are brave and resourceful, you will have no worries about success."

Wei Minglangyu couldn't help but sigh again: "There is no one in the Song Dynasty, so it can't be used! So please sir, take a rest as soon as possible. By the way, sir, you are not familiar with our military system. Please don't wander around in the camp. If you tell me in advance, you will

Can."

Chaogu bowed and saluted: "That's what you should do, so Chaogu please excuse yourself."

When he was about to leave the tent, Chaogu turned around again: "By the way, I have something important to report."

Wei Minglangyu asked: "What's the matter?"

Chaogu said: "I am afraid that the three of you have underestimated Su Mingrun's strategic talent and his cunning. The salt wells in Meishan can reach three hundred feet underground. So you must not think that Dun'an Village is a dry village.

He, Su Mingrun, is really capable of drilling through rock formations, like Qingjian City, to create clear springs!"

The three of them were all shocked. Wei Minglangyu stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Youlao, please rest for a while while we continue to explain in detail!"



It was late at night, Chaogu had retired to rest, and the three people in the tent were still making plans.

After some conversation, the importance of Chaogu was highlighted, and Wei Minglangyu asked Liang Yiduo in more detail.

Finally, Wei Minglangyu asked: "Do you think there is anything wrong with Mr. Chao?"

Liang Yiduo was dissatisfied at first: "Chao Yuanxiu must be a trustworthy person. I have tested him in many ways along the way. He knows everything about the inside story of the Song Army and has told me everything. I deliberately stayed alone with him. If Chao Yuanxiu had other intentions, I would

Isn't it a great achievement to capture me and send him to the Song Dynasty?"

Wei Minglangyu waved his hand and said: "This doesn't explain the problem. He said it himself. Weizhou Su Tanhua is his enemy. If he kidnapped you, he can't offer her to Su Mingrun."

Liang Yiduo smiled and said, "Don't you know, Uncle Emperor? The civil and military forces of the Song Dynasty were at war with each other. That Xiao Su Tanhua took over Zhong Dalang's property in Weizhou City and pulled out Zhong Dalang's informants in Weizhou City. The lawsuit went all the way.

The Ludu Transport Envoy was there, and the Du Transport Envoy favored the literati and severely punished Dalang Zhong. Wouldn't it be better if Brother Chao kidnapped me and handed me over to Dalang Zhong?"

Liang Gewei was angry and funny: "Xiannephew, your words sound weird. Why do I think you and the kidnapper are on the same side?"

After speaking, he thought again: "The timing of Mr. Chao's appearance is too coincidental after all. What he just said revealed the secrets of the Song Dynasty. In comparison, I think the possibility of him being a spy of the Song Dynasty is relatively small.

, I will try his method of alcohol and steel another day to see if it is really effective, and then I can judge whether he has sincerely surrendered."

Wei Minglangyu paced back and forth in the tent: "Even if it cannot be ruled out, it is not a big deal to be supported by an official position with the two important weapons of alcohol and steel-making. But have you ever thought of anything else?

possible?"

Liang Gewei asked: "Uncle Huang, what is possible?"

Wei Minglangyu said word by word: "That! Person!"

Liang Gewei also reacted immediately: "Li Wenzhao?! It's the rebel!"

Wei Minglangyu shook his head, as if he was unwilling to call this person a traitor: "I was born at the wrong time. If it weren't for my background, it's hard to say that I couldn't have become a talent that has never been born before. It's a pity..."

After thinking about it: "I still have to continue testing, but what I said makes sense, so there is no need to care about his origin. I heard that the Zheng Guo Canal in Guanzhong in the Song Dynasty was also used by spies at the time, but after it is completed, it will be of great use!"

"In this way, Yiduobian, you can continue to win over Mr. Chao, undress him, and feed him."

"Gewei, you should build a workshop here and give Mr. Chao a job of repairing instruments. Try the methods he mentioned and get rid of all the skills he knows."

"As for me... let the informants in Weizhou City find out where he came from, and then we can make further calculations."



In Weizhou City, Qiuniang was lost in thought while looking at a piece of paper in her hand.

This is an advertisement issued by a wealthy businessman in Sichuan, offering a reward of one hundred taels of gold for wool thread weaving techniques.

The maid came over, cleaned up the woolen dustpan beside Qiuniang, and said, "Miss, do you really want to receive the reward?"

Qiuniang was worried about gains and losses: "With a hundred taels of gold, Xiaoyu, do you think we can deregister?"

Xiaoyu tilted his head: "Miss, what's the benefit of deregistering? Can we still support ourselves after deregistering? Besides, this is a bounty offered by a wealthy businessman, but deregistration is a government matter. Do you want to marry a wealthy businessman as a concubine?

?Those old men are lustful and greedy for money, and none of them are good!"

Qiuniang grabbed the ball of wool in the dustpan, as if she was trying to convince Xiaoyu, but also as if she was trying to convince herself: "What a good thread, Xiaoyu, this is the best wool I have ever seen. Once we are deregistered, we will

Knit sweaters, knit gloves, knit socks! We can feed ourselves!”



Cheng San looked at Qiu Niang's blue eyes and was a little dazed for a moment.

He checked the scarves, gloves, and a sweater on the table again: "Qiu Niang, right? It seems that we have met at the chamber of commerce..."

Qiuniang lowered her head and was about to cry: "Yes, I was a musician in the slave family, but now I am in a lowly position."

Cheng San said: "Looking at you, it seems... you are not from the Central Plains?"

Qiuniang said: "The mother of the slave family was originally the concubine of a wealthy businessman from a Hu people. It is said that the Hu people came from a very far away place. The local men worked in business and the women used wool and dairy products to support the family."

"My mother is very skilled and learned the art of weaving from Maid Hu."

"Then the war started, and my father disappeared. In order to support the slave family, my mother became a lowly citizen."

"When the slave's parents grow up, he will also be reduced to the commonplace, playing and singing with others."

After saying this, Yingying knelt down and said, "Mr. Cheng, I offer you the method of knitting wool. It doesn't cost a hundred gold. All I need is a word from Xiao Su Tanhua. I want to get rid of my lowly status and ask Gong Cheng to do it."

Cheng San sighed: "Twenty years of chaos have ruined an entire generation... Mingrun is really capable of things that others cannot. He said that there is no other way to weave clothes with threads in the world, and this is true."

"Madam, please get up. Since you have this ambition, I also admire you. In this way, I will show you a clear way. You can take these things and ask to see the little lady Wei'er. As long as you can get a word from the little lady, for the young master,

I'm afraid it's more effective than the Master's words in the Nine Classics."

Qiuniang thanked her and took the knitted fabric: "Ms. Shi often stays at the charity home, I know."

Seeing Qiuniang about to step out of the door, Cheng Sancai nodded secretly: "Wait a minute, as for the hundred gold reward, I will keep it for you no matter what the young master does."

Qiuniang paused for a moment, then turned around and prostrated herself again: "Thank you, Mr. Cheng, for your mercy."

The next morning, Shi Wei came to Su You with Qiuniang's knitting.

Su You was holding an arrow, looking at the arrow with one eye closed, and talking to Shi: "The maximum cross-sectional area of ​​this arrow is much smaller than that of a cone-shaped arrow. How is its hardness?"

Shi said: "The hardness is a little worse than that of stamped arrows, but it is close to steel. With the design like this, the power is no weaker than an armor-piercing cone."

"Can you break the wart armor?"

"No problem, you can get an inch inside after breaking it."

"What about our ram helmets?"

"Uh... this is a little bit worse, uncle. In order to prevent the Xixia people from picking up this kind of arrow and turning against the Song Dynasty, we made this design."

"Look, this is a light arrow with a short tail and a thin needle at the bottom."

"We made such a design on the arrow shaft, with a wedge opening, which is similar to the mortise and tenon structure of carpentry. In addition to inserting a fine needle, it can also hold the arrowhead, which is very stable. Even if the Xixia people pick it up, it cannot be processed.

It is useless to produce exquisite arrow shafts."

Su You expressed that he was very satisfied and took out another drawing: "Last time I went to Longshou Village, I saw that the sheep herders were good at throwing stones. If you throw a stone at the horn of the leading ram, you can control its direction.

I made something like this."

When the stone was taken over, it was found to be a cylindrical porcelain jar with a wooden handle on the top and two holes on the side. There was a nail-like thing inserted into the hole on one side.

Su You said: "This nail is an impact mechanism. It is usually stored like this. When you need to use it, you only need to take out the nail, insert it into another small hole on the porcelain cylinder, and then smash it on the helmet or rock.

Light the fire message."

"The fire signal can be delayed for a few seconds and can be thrown out to damage the enemy. What's the design like?"

ps: The author of the recommended book "Rampage into the Ming Dynasty" has a bad title and a bad introduction. It is a story about a native who brings a lunatic asylum and wants to restore the backbone of the Ming Dynasty. The author has 1.5 million old books to guarantee his character, and the new book is still interesting.
