There was a pile of fragments on the ground. Li Zhi helped Xiao Qingqing puzzle the pieces and asked in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, where is the big cannibal?"
"Great food." Zhang Yang sighed in distress, "It's in the west, west of the Fourth Town of Anxi."
Li Zhi now had no vague idea of geographical location. Zhang Yang spread out a map and said, "This is Guanzhong, then this is Dashi."
There were still about ten pieces left in a puzzle, so he left it to Xiao Qingqing to put it together. Li Zhi stepped forward and looked at the map, "Is it here?"
"It's roughly at this location." Zhang Yang drew a circle on the map, "The boundary of the Great Eclipse should be this big now."
Curious, Li Zhi changed his position and looked at it carefully for a long time. "Well, it looks as big as the territory of our Tang Dynasty."
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Our Datang territory will be even larger in the future."
These words seemed to give Li Zhi a new direction. He whispered: "It would be great if the territory of the Great Cannibal belonged to our Tang Dynasty."
Zhang Yang nodded heavily, "Yes, that would be great."
He leaned down and spoke to him in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, from now on, you will tell your father more often that you will expand the territory and conquer all the territories of the cannibals and make them our territory."
"Well, brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely tell my father."
Sometimes it is not possible to nurse the emperor, but you can also breastfeed the emperor's children and let the children influence the emperor. Maybe this is a new idea.
Now in Persia, last year Zhang Yang sent another batch of kitchen utensils to the Anxi Protectorate, and now they have finally arrived in the capital of Persia.
Both Pei Xingjian and Xue Rengui were vilified a lot.
In order to prevent people at the checkpoint from discovering strange things when checking them, the county magistrate stored the stone powder used inside the mines separately from the machinery.
Pei Xingjian could only assemble the earth mine by himself. Pei Xingjian locked himself in a small room, opened the lid of the earth mine, put in a bag of stone powder, then closed the lid of the earth mine, and he was done.
According to the order of the county prince, he can only do these things by himself. The fewer people who know about such a big killer, the better.
Therefore, Pei Xingjian did not write about this incident at all in the military newspaper.
But paper cannot contain fire after all.
Sooner or later, the imperial court will know about this thing. This is also a back-up for the county prince's defense. No one can know the secret recipe of this thing at any time.
Pei Xingjian only knew how to assemble it, let alone how to cast it.
I don’t know what the secret recipe of that packet of stone powder is.
These things were all from Mount Li. Pei Xingjian didn't know how this thing was made, but he only knew that the core secret ingredient for making this thing explode was these stone powder wrapped in linen.
As long as it is loaded, it can be detonated.
A gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. Pei Xingjian knew very well that the less he knew about this thing, the better.
Before assembling it, Pei Xingjian placed a hundred earth mines in front of him. It was already dark, and the instructions for use sent by the county magistrate also warned that this thing should not be assembled under an open flame.
He stood up and walked out of the earthen house. The dozen or so officers and soldiers guarding the door had followed him all the way from Guanzhong, and they were also the most trusted people in the Persian capital.
Brother Xue also built a city defense in the royal capital, and Wang Xuance led his troops to build an earthen city ten miles away from the Persian city.
Pei Xingjian walked into his room, which was the closest room to the palace in the capital of Persia.
It was arranged by the current Persian King Belus. It was not easy to refuse, let alone occupy other people's palaces, and not to discredit the officers, soldiers and the Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty.
Pei Xingjian knew this bottom line very well and was unwilling to violate it.
Persians rarely use oil lamps. They like to dig a hole in the ground at night, and then live in the hole to bring themselves firelight and warmth at night. They even cook their meals in this hole.
Pei Xingjian did not like the Persian way of life, and the Tang people here still retained their own living habits.
There are no potholes in Pei Xingjian's room. There were holes before, but they were filled up.
Aren't Persians afraid of being stepped on and falling into the hole they dug when they walk around the room at night?
Pei Xingjian lit the oil lamp, and as soon as he sat down, someone came with several rolls of sheepskins.
The other party put down the rolls of sheepskins and replied: "Pei Duhu, these are all sent by General Wang Xuance from his humble position."
Only the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard from Guanzhong can participate in transmitting military reports and arranging matters.
Nowadays, most of Persia is under the control of the Tang Dynasty. Belus now has his own ministers, and most of these ministers are former nobles of Persia.
Pei Xingjian despised the idea of letting nobles serve as ministers of Persia and letting them control the people's livelihood in Persia. When Belus had his own ministers, some people also advised Belus, and the Tang people took control of all affairs in Persia.
Someone told Belus to beware of the Tang people.
However, Pei Xingjian didn't care about these rumors, because Belus had no confidence to rebel against the Tang Dynasty.
Belus was a very weak man and he did not dare to disobey the Tang Dynasty.
After living in Chang'an City for so long, Belus almost became half a Tang Dynasty man.
There were not only people from Tang Dynasty but also people from Anyanyan and Gaochang in the capital. If Belus really had different intentions, he would die miserably.
Even if there is internal strife among the three parties in the Persian capital, it is not difficult for Pei Xingjian to support another Persian king.
For Persia, once the Tang people left, the Persian king would no longer be able to protect itself.
Pei Xingjian opened the parchment scrolls and looked at the contents. With the Persian capital as the center, ten earthen cities were to be built within ten miles of the periphery.
In this way, even if there is civil strife in the Persian capital, the soldiers and horses from the ten earthen cities outside can reach the Persian capital in half a day.
If a cannibal invades, the ten earthen cities will serve as a barrier, and the royal capital can also continuously transport food, soldiers and horses to those earthen cities.
It has been four months since the Great Eaters retreated, and Pei Xingjian has been hoarding supplies during these four months.
With Anyanyan's connections, Persia finally contacted Tianzhu and used the money of Persian nobles to buy a lot of grain from them.
To my surprise, Tianzhu was much richer than expected.
Pei Xingjian played with the jade in his hand and thought for a long time. Tianzhu was so wealthy that it shouldn't be left alone, but should be attacked.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This will all happen in the future. Pei Xingjian thought that until the hidden danger of cannibalism was completely solved, he did not consider Tianzhu's efforts for the time being.
If I hadn't heard that the Great Eater had prepared another 600,000 troops, I would have to go all out to deal with the Great Eater, and I would not be able to spare the time to denounce Tianzhu.
The Tianzhu people gave so many war elephants to the cannibals. This matter cannot be solved so easily.
Persian food was very unpalatable. Pei Xingjian missed the millet rice in Guanzhong very much. He should have eaten a few more bowls before leaving the country.
Not knowing what the current situation was like between the DPRK and China, Pei Xingjian continued to look at the map in his hand. There were various topographic maps that needed to be surveyed and mapped. Wang Xuance was doing these things.
The so-called topographic map is a drawing technique used by the current Ministry of Rites when compiling geographical records.
During the days when he served in the Ministry of Rites, Pei Xingjian became familiar with the technique of drawing topographic maps, which is a skill that every official in the Ministry of Rites must master.
After taking the imperial examination and becoming an official, the six months he spent in the Ministry of Rites was the most rewarding half year for Pei Xingjian since he became an official. Whether it was the drawing of topographic maps, compasses, various topographies and diplomatic strategies, these were all gains.
Today in Guanzhong, it is spring in April.
People in Lishan are very smart. They will plant vegetables and some fruits on the edge of the fields, so that they can be self-sufficient. Even if there is a food shortage or famine in other places in Guanzhong, some people think that even in Lishan
You can also be self-sufficient.
People here can make salted duck eggs, tea eggs, and meat buns.
Grain is grown in the fields, and leeks, spinach and radishes are grown on the edges of the fields.
Shangguan Yi held a scroll in one hand and a pen in the other as he walked along the field ridge to record the growth of the crops. He unexpectedly discovered that the cabbage grew best. In less than half a month, all the cabbages on the field ridge had already grown.
He nodded heavily, "In the future, we can grow some cabbage in Guanzhong. The harvest will be fast and we don't have to pick the land. As long as the land can grow vegetables, we can grow cabbage."
Last winter, Lishan often sent vegetables down the mountain. When other people couldn't see green vegetables on their tables, Lishan people could eat green vegetables every day.
Rumor has it that the county magistrate opened up a piece of land on Lishan Mountain, which was called a greenhouse. The vegetables grown in the winter were too much to eat and had to be distributed to the villagers.
In this way, the villagers in Lishan also have vegetables to eat in winter.
People cannot avoid eating vegetables, otherwise they will become malnourished.
Shangguan Yi suspected that most Turkic people are bald, and this is related to their lifestyle of not eating vegetables for many years.
The children in Lishan are the strongest. The healthy and strong children have returned from outside the village. These children may go to fight with the babies from other villages.
Looking at the growth of garlic and onions in the fields, there is no shortage of ginger.
Spring is a good time to plant vegetables. These vegetables will grow better in summer. After summer, many fruits from the south will be delivered, as well as raisins and grape wine from the Western Regions.
From now on, we must prepare for the cultivation of melons and fruits. Shangguanyi hopes to grow some grapes and courgettes in the summer.
After recording this, Shangguan Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He had finished all the busy things he had to do today. Since he became the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, many affairs in the village had been left to the warrior Xun to arrange.
In this way, Shangguan Yi felt that the burden on her body was much lighter.
"Mr. Shangguan, people from the court are here and have sent many files." A boy in his teens hurried over.
This child was also very talented, so Shangguan Yi kept him by his side and asked him to help pack the books and do some homework.
The child put all these files on a small cart and pulled them all the way.
These files were reports on farming conditions in various places. After Shangguanyi sorted out these files, they placed them at the foot of Lishan Mountain. An hour later, the aunt from the mountain came down and sent all the files up.
Zhang Yang was busy in the workshop, and the two symmetrical semi-curved iron sheets were finally polished.
He held two bright iron pieces in his dark cloth gloves, put them into the bottom of the gun chamber, and tried them for size.
Fortunately, I left a margin before and just cut off some edges.
It is also necessary to drill holes in the iron piece so that it can be fixed to the bottom of the gun bore.
Zhang Yang took down his drawing, pondered it for a long time, then took out an iron pestle and knocked out four holes.
Suitable iron nails are also required for fastening.
"His Royal Highness King Jin!"
Li Zhi, who was skateboarding outside the workshop, poked his head in and asked, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong?"
Zhang Yang took off his cloth gloves and opened the window of the workshop for ventilation. "His Royal Highness, Prince Jin, come and clean the workshop."
Li Zhi looked at the huge workshop and hesitated to speak, looking troubled.
The teacher's workshop is very spacious, but there are a lot of debris, especially the pile of iron materials. How long will it take to clean them up?
You must know that since the completion of this workshop, this is the first time that it has to be cleaned up. Looking at the hills of various iron materials, Li Tai felt dizzy.
Zhang Yang added: "Call Qinghe, Gaoyang, Dongyang, Li Fu and Li Ming."
"good!"
Li Zhi left on his skateboard and came back on his skateboard a moment later.
Then a group of princesses and princes also arrived. Zhang Yang first assigned them tasks and took a group of little children with him to start cleaning up the workshop.
Dongyang and Gaoyang splashed water on the ground, and then cleaned the ground thoroughly. Some of the oil stains on the ground probably couldn't be washed away.
The workshop also needs to be kept clean and tidy. Zhang Yang found that he also needed a large cabinet to place his own tools.
Zhang Yang was picking the iron materials here. Some of the iron materials could be kept for further use, while some of the iron materials had to be taken back to the blacksmith's workshop for recasting.
After sorting these, another cart of iron materials was loaded, but there was not much iron material left.
Children are still very organized, an ability they have developed over time.
Half an hour later, the entire workshop was packed up.
Zhang Yang pulled a cart of scrap iron to the blacksmith's workshop, and Li Zhi followed behind him. He now likes to follow his brother-in-law, because his brother-in-law can make toys for him, like this skateboard, which he particularly likes.
There were several iron wheels under the skateboard. Zhang Yang lowered his head and glanced at him. The wheels were originally designed not to be so big, but they couldn't use the fine manufacturing technology of later generations, so the size could only be made larger. This made it look like this
The skateboard is very weird, the wheels are too big and the entire skateboard is very tall.
The roads in the village were relatively smooth. Li Zhi stepped on his skateboard and slid far away.
Zhang Yang added: "I'll make you a protective gear next time. Don't slide too fast or it will break again."
For safety reasons, the wheels are actually tampered with. This skateboard cannot slide very fast at all. Once the speed is too fast, the springs on the wheels will get stuck as soon as they tighten.
Of course, if the springs on the wheels are removed, the skateboard will return to normal level.
If Lishan's manufacturing precision could be improved, Zhang Yang would also like to build a bicycle.
Generally speaking, if the casting of the steam engine goes smoothly, the manufacturing accuracy should be achieved, and there will be no problem in building a bicycle.
But now Lishan's casting precision still cannot produce bicycle chains, and Zhang Yang wonders whether his technology tree has developed crookedly.
Or Lishan Manufacturing has a problem with its understanding.
Nowadays, the blacksmith shop is very busy. A pot of copper water is poured out. These are all made of fine copper.
Master Jiang walked out with a smile on his face, "Long time no see, how come you have time to come here today?"
