Gao Fei had a look of surprise on his face. He had never touched Gong Shufei from beginning to end, so why did he touch her? He hurriedly asked: "When did I touch you?"
Gongshu Fei looked ashamed and said loudly: "You are shameless!"
"Why am I so shameless? Tell me, when did I touch you? Although I am not a gentleman, I will not do such a dirty thing. If I had touched you, how could I not do it?
Know?"
Gongshu Fei stomped his foot on the ground angrily, turned around, turned his back to Gao Fei and said, "Think carefully, did you touch my hand when I first saw you?"
?”
"Ah?" Gao Fei then remembered that when he saw Gong Shufei for the first time a few days ago, when he helped Gong Shufei up, he accidentally touched her hand. He couldn't argue now and asked.
: "You...that's also called touching? I just touched you. It was completely accidental and not intentional. Besides, I didn't know you were a woman at the time. If I had known, I wouldn't be so enthusiastic.
I helped you up."
"Hmph! Anyway, my innocence has been stained by you. Men and women are not allowed to be intimate. If you touch my hand, you will be responsible for me. You must marry whether you marry or not. Otherwise, if the news spreads, you
A dignified state shepherd who bullies a good girl at will will probably be reviled by everyone in the world. If you don't marry me, I won't be able to get married in the future, and I will only die."
Crying, making trouble, and hanging herself, woman, let Gao Fei see that compared to Diao Chan's kindness and gentleness, and Cai Yan's knowledge of books and etiquette, Gongshu Fei is a completely moody barbaric woman.
"Since you insist on marrying me, I have nothing to say. Three wives and four concubines are common. It doesn't hurt to have a few more wives. Besides, she is not ugly, so just marry her. After marrying her and giving birth to children, the public loses.
The mechanism skills of the Gao family have fallen into the hands of my Gao family, and we will carry them forward when the time comes.
Everbright, put Gao's trademark on it, invent some good things, and sell them on the shelves, that is also a good benefit, this business can be done." Gao Fei slowly thought about it in his heart, completely treating the marriage as a business, a businessman
His true colors also began to show gradually.
After a long time, Gao Fei said loudly: "Well, since I touched you, I have to be responsible for you. I will be responsible for you. But I still have a marriage contract in front of me. There must be a first-come-first-served basis. Wait for me first."
How about marrying the one in front of me and then marrying you after a while?"
Gongshu Fei turned around, looked at Gao Fei, nodded, and said softly: "It just so happens that I don't want to get married now. I still have to study the art of mechanism to deal with the people of the Mo family. We can talk about the marriage later.
.Since you have agreed to marry me now, should you, the husband, give me whatever I need in the future?"
Gao Fei nodded, suddenly realizing that he felt a little cheated, and asked: "Then what do you want?"
"Wood! The best wood. There are the best trees in the mountains and forests of Wuzhong County. You can send someone to cut some and transport them to me."
"Okay, I promise you." Gao Fei walked to Gong Shufei's side and said softly, "I said, since I am your husband, shouldn't you also give me something?"
Gongshu Fei's face was startled. He covered his chest with both hands and stepped back involuntarily. He immediately asked, "What do you want to do? I tell you, don't come over. Otherwise, if I hurt you, don't blame me for not reminding you."
Gao Fei saw that Gongshu Fei had misunderstood, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Before you marry me, I won't touch you with a finger. I just want you to
I’m wondering if you’d like to make something?”
Gongshu Fei said: "As long as you don't do that to me, I can do whatever you want me to do. Anyway, I'm yours and I can't run away in this life."
"Haha, that's true. Are you twenty this year?"
"Am I that old? I'm only eighteen years old."
"Oh, the eighteenth-year-old girl is very good." Gao Fei nodded and glanced at the things displayed in the hall, but there was nothing that he thought could be practical, and he didn't know what Gongshu Fei was tinkering with.
, "I said, can you make me some repeating crossbows?"
"Lian Nu?" Gongshu Fei had already put down his guard and said with a surprised look on his face.
"Well, a repeating crossbow. An ordinary crossbow machine can only hold one crossbow arrow at a time. After shooting, it has to be loaded again, which is very troublesome. I want an arrow box that can hold many crossbow arrows at a time. When the button
Crossbow powered
When the trigger is triggered, the crossbow arrows in the arrow box can be automatically loaded into the crossbow machine, saving manpower and increasing the number and power of shooting crossbow arrows. A crossbow machine that can shoot continuously like this is called a repeating crossbow. Can you make it?
?”
Gongshu Fei dragged his cheeks and thought for a while, his eyes wandering around the hall. After a long time, he opened his mouth and said: "I have never made such a thing, but I can give it a try. When I make it, I will ask someone to inform you.
of."
Gao Fei said: "Okay, I hope you can do it as soon as possible. By the way, do you need an assistant? Are you too tired to work alone?"
"No need, outsiders will steal my skills if they come in. I don't want my mechanism skills to be stolen."
"I am your husband. Can I come in and be your assistant? I have many strange things in my mind, but I can't make them myself. It would be great if you could help me make them."
Gongshu Fei glanced sideways at Gao Fei and thought for a while before replying: "Okay, but only you are allowed in, and no one else is allowed in."
"Okay, I still have things to do now, so I won't disturb you anymore. I'll see you another day."
Gongshu Fei didn't want to keep Gao Fei around either. Her thoughts were all on the mechanism technique. Although Gao Fei agreed to marry her, she just felt that she had found a good home for herself, which would be helpful for him to devote himself to studying the mechanism technique.
Of course, she was a little wary of Gao Fei, after all, beauties love heroes. But the top priority was to prepare for the Mo family's appointment at the top of Mount Tai more than a year later. When she saw Gao Fei leaving, she calmed down and continued to start her journey.
Work.
Gao Fei couldn't do this Hanlin Academy in vain. He needed a very strong team of craftsmen. First of all, the steelmaking was successful, but it has not yet been promoted because the steel production in Liaodong's steel mills was very low, and they had to produce and supply Goguryeo from time to time.
The iron weapons of the army took up resources, so his army has not yet been fully equipped with unified steel weapons, and only a few generals have armor, which is still in a state of uneven quality.
So after leaving the Hanlin Academy, Gao Fei issued an order to the two renovated steel mills in Yuyang, asking them to produce steel weapons and armor with the same specifications, mainly spears, steel knives, and arrowheads.
The steel factory was handed over to Xun You to produce armor, while the steel factory in Tianjin was entrusted with
Entrusted to Liao Hua, he was asked to supervise everything in Tianjin and start producing weapons. In addition, Gao Fei also transferred 300 blacksmiths from the Hanlin Academy to Tianjin, leaving only five blacksmiths in the Hanlin Academy to build whatever he wanted at any time.
Necessary things such as bearings and pulleys.
In order to completely unify the army, he also put Xun Chen in charge of the capital's clothing processing factory, where he personally designed military uniforms, spring, summer, autumn, and winter clothing. He also recruited some women who were good at women's work in Jicheng.
, first made him a model of clothing. To this end, he dedicated a large house where nine wealthy businessmen lived, euphemistically called it the Weaving Department, and gave it to Xun Chen.
On this day, after Gao Fei inspected various parts of Jicheng City, he came to the Weaving Department to see how the military uniforms were being made.
As soon as he entered the weaving department, Gao Fei saw some masters working stitch by stitch. He was thinking in his heart: "It will be necessary to do such stitch by hand if it is mass produced in the future."
How many female workers are there? It would be great if they could have sewing machines. Unfortunately, I don’t know how that thing works, and I can’t check it on Baidu. Otherwise, I would definitely get a sewing machine.”
"Lord, why are you here?" As soon as Gao Fei entered the weaving department, someone hurriedly notified Xun Chen. At this moment, Xun Chen hurriedly came out to greet Gao Fei and asked thoughtfully.
Gao Fei said: "I have nothing to do, let's take a look at how the military uniforms are being made. These female workers seem to be working very hard. Don't treat them badly. After the spring, we will recruit a large number of female workers for garment processing.
"
Xun Chen said: "I know this, and I will do everything according to your lord's instructions. My lord, please!"
Gao Fei was welcomed into the hall of the Weaving Department by Xun Chen. After the two of them sat down, they heard Gao Fei say: "Sir, have you ever gotten used to everything since you came to Youzhou?"
This was the first time Xun Chen met Gao Fei alone, so he nodded and said politely: "I'm used to everything, and it's rare for the house to be warm in such a cold winter. It's warmer than the winter in Yingchuan's hometown.
Too much."
Gao Fei smiled and said: "I will slowly carry out renovations in the future, and try to make every household use heating, so that it won't be too cold in winter."
"My lord is wise."
talk."
"Oh, sir, if you have any good suggestions, please tell me directly. From now on, no matter whether I am busy or not, I can express my opinions directly."
"Thank you, lord. I believe that Youzhou was originally a war-torn place and the people were not very wealthy. Now that Youzhou has become increasingly stable, the lord should implement benevolent governance and cultivate himself for two years. After two years, Youzhou will inevitably
It can become the most stable place for Dahan in one fell swoop.”
"Well, that's what I think too. If the people in the place you rule are unstable, you won't be able to compete for supremacy in the world, and going militarily will only lead to defeat."
Xun Chen said: "The nine wealthy businessmen and the eight bullies have all been eradicated. The governor's office has sufficient grain and abundant money. My subordinates believe that the lord should lighten the corvee, pay less taxes, build high walls, accumulate grain extensively, and unite with the barbarians."
As long as the princes accomplish these six things, Youzhou will be able to sweep through the Central Plains in two years."
