Lu Yan stood on the high platform and looked at the more than two thousand people below. His loud voice reached everyone's ears, "Soldiers, who am I?"
Everyone in the camp was puzzled by what he meant, and someone replied tentatively: "Master Imperial Advisor, you are the Captain of the Protective Army, and we are all under the command of the Protective Army Mansion."
Lu Yan shouted loudly, causing the entire army to tremble, "Will the army of Great Qin greet their commander-in-chief with this look?"
He pointed to the first person to strike, "Who are you and where are you from?"
Ying Jue, who was standing first, immediately responded: "Ying Jue, from Xianyang County."
"What about you, what's your name, and where is your home?"
"Meng Li, from Yi County."
"you!"
"The villain doesn't have a surname, his name is Ke, and he is from Yunyang."
"The villain is from Jingyang."
"The villains are gone, Pucheng people."
Lu Yan turned to the side again, "Dian Wei! Where is the military status?!"
Dian Wei, who had been prepared for a long time, held a box of bamboo slips in his hands and placed it on the general's platform, "Lord Captain, here is your military registration."
Lu Yan casually sucked a scroll of bamboo slips, "Ying Yan is from Yong County. Xie is from Chencang. Ying Meng is from Qili County. Liao is from Lantian County. Ningqin County, Du County, Feiqiu, Meiyang...
I call out a name at random, and behind it is a piece of land of the old Qin people. It is rooted in these lands. Your ancestors, for generations, fought with swords, guns, and blood to create the beautiful country of Qin.
Why are you standing here? Instead of following in the footsteps of those rebels and being jailed or exiled?!"
Lu Yan threw the bamboo slips back, his fierce momentum sweeping across the entire army.
"Because the traitors are afraid of you! The traitors know that the blood of the old Qin people is flowing in your bodies! The traitors want to rebel, can you agree?"
Gradually there was a response in the camp.
"disagree."
"disagree!"
"I will never obey!"
"Swear not to be a thief!"
"So, they have to hide it and hide. Those who are weak-minded and have evil intentions have already followed the traitors to hell.
Those of you who remain behind are the loyal and brave men of Great Qin and the pillars of our army. What are the responsibilities of the Forbidden Army?!"
Everyone shouted back and forth: "Defend your Majesty, protect our great Qin."
Lu Yan was still dissatisfied, and the entire army could hear his boiling anger, "Is this how you defend the king and protect our great Qin?!"
"Protect the king and protect our great Qin!"
"Protect the king and protect our great Qin!"
"Protect the king and protect our great Qin!"
One after another, the roars of the entire army gradually converged into one place, like one person.
"Ying Jue."
"The end will be here."
"Arrange and practice."
"promise."
Lu Yan stood on the stage, watching the army's momentum gradually rise, and the roars of killing gradually rising into the sky, and nodded with satisfaction.
By the time the military drill was over, the sun had already set. With a military position, it would be best for Lu Yan to live with the soldiers.
However, for this reward, Ying Zheng also filled up all the servants of the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion. He, the Imperial Preceptor, didn't even have time to go home when he returned from Yongcheng, so Lu Yan decided to go back to the mansion.
Recently, the first step of papermaking has been almost completed, and each subsequent process only takes a few days to complete, so frequent work is indispensable.
"Huh? Inexplicably, I feel like I, as a worker, have a lot of tasks."
After leaving Dian Wei in the forbidden army camp, Lu Yan rode back home, sitting on the horse and complaining.
"I also have to help educate the younger members of the clan..."
There are only over 2,000 people in the Forbidden Army now, so they must make up for the 5,000. Lu Yan suddenly had a hunch that Ying Zheng would most likely fill his place with many clan members. Anyway, if you are chasing a sheep, you are driving a group of sheep.
…
While he was thinking wildly, someone called him.
"Master National Preceptor, Master National Preceptor."
"Xu~"
Lu Yan stopped his horse and looked at the person coming.
He is tall and thin, with a childish face, many parts of his clothes are covered with alloy armor, and his hands are wearing metal wrist guards.
When he saw Lu Yan, he saluted directly and said, "Master Imperial Master, I have lost my father's wings. My father invites Master Imperial Master to come to the house to have a talk."
Gongshuqiu's son?
The son of a man whose father-in-law has lost more than half a hundred enemies seems to be less than twenty. Well, in this era, he can be called a son of old age.
"Look, you've been guarding me for a long time."
"The Imperial Preceptor has just taken charge of the army. I don't dare to intrude, so I can only wait while the Imperial Preceptor is on his way back home."
Gongshuqiu came to see him specifically. It should be that the civil agencies he told him before had achieved results.
Lu Yan was immediately interested, "Let's go to your mansion."
"Please, Master Imperial Master."
Nearly three months have passed since I arrived at Gongshu's house, and the mansion has already changed drastically.
After stepping inside, the mansion is divided into three areas, "Citizen Workers Area", "Military Industry Area", and "Experimental Area".
Lu Yan's brows jumped at the sight, "Where do your family members live?"
Gong Shuyi scratched his head and said, "Well, generally speaking, wherever my father is doing research, he sleeps there. Because he is responsible for the maintenance of his own institution, the children in the family each have their own room."
The organization family is so terrifying. You can still find someone with your style. This is really...
"Master Imperial Master, please come with me. My father should be in the migrant workers' area."
Lu Yan followed Gong Shuyi into the "migrant workers' area" and saw Gong Shuqiu greeting him with enthusiasm, "Gongshu Qiu hasn't congratulated the Imperial Master yet, hahaha."
He didn't hesitate and asked directly: "Mr. Gongshu, why are you looking for me specifically?"
"The farm tools that the Imperial Master gave me earlier have been made into a set of finished products. Imperial Master, please take a look——"
Gong Shuqiu took Lu Yan to show off his finished products one by one.
The terrifying machine that appeared in front of him made Lu Yan a little panicked. Is this step too big...
"Civilian Breaking the Earth Shiro" is a plowing machine that looks like a carriage and is pulled by livestock. There is an adjustable rolling blade under the bottom of the car, which can be adjusted to the depth according to the needs of farming. When a person stands on top and steps on the pedal, the lower blade will turn
Rotation. The blades are designed differently depending on the field.
"Master Imperial Master, this civilian soil-breaking Shilang is more suitable for plowing soil in a large number of flat and standardized fields. In order to adapt to intensive farming in more areas, I also designed a simpler Wulang."
"Civilian Potu Wulang" is somewhat similar to the curved shaft plow in that history textbook, and it is more flexible to use.
Strictly speaking, these two are serious farm implement mechanisms, and they cannot be called machine beasts.
It is impossible to explain where the power of the machine beast comes from. The two in front of me can be regarded as scientific.
Lu Yan composed himself, "Mr. Gongshu, does this name mean it is also used for military purposes?"
"Of course. Master Imperial Master, please move."
Gongshu Chou then led him to the "Military Industry Zone", and what he saw was a ferocious four-wheel drive chariot with an ox head.
"Haha, Poto Shiro, start spinning."
As Gong Shuqiu activated the mechanism, huge blades spread out on both sides of the bull-headed chariot and began to rotate. A strong wind blew and the chill was overwhelming.
Lu Yan saw the horns sticking out from the front of the chariot, and its whole body was glowing with metallic luster. If it were on a plain battlefield, if this thing were placed in a crowd of people, it would chop people like mowing grass.
Even if he saw this unpowered thing with his own eyes, he still couldn't understand it. He pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Mr. Gongshu, I will arrange for someone to start trying your civil agency soon. If it is really successful, I will ask the king for instructions."
Build a factory specifically for you and establish an independent government for you."
Gong Shuqiu said with a smile on his face, "Haha, I would like to thank the Imperial Master in advance."
Lu Yan asked again, "What's going on with Zheng Guo?"
"After nearly three months of measurements, Zheng Guo's drawings have been perfected, and hundreds of my Poto Ichiro have been produced. The construction of the large canal should start in the near future."
"Recently, recently..."
It's cold now, but I'm even busier than before.
Lu Yan thought to himself and said goodbye to Gong Shuqiu.
