Chapter 400 The person I'm looking for
Fu Jinzhan stood up and looked into the distance with a smile. She stretched her upper body slightly, raised her head and took a deep breath, "Well..." A gentle and moving sigh, with laziness and intoxication.
Guo Shao looked at her beautiful posture blankly, then turned his head to follow her eyes. He saw the blue sky, the vast and colorful plains, and the large wheat fields after harvest exposed brown-yellow soil, and white smoke was everywhere in the fields.
"What are those cigarettes burning?" Fu Jinzhan asked excitedly.
Guo Shao took a closer look and said, "The fertility of the land is very important. After the crops are harvested, the farmers will burn the straw on the ground in the fields as fertilizer."
After saying that, he took out half a piece of wheat cake from the horse's back and started eating it with water. Fu Jinzhan glanced at him: "The soldiers usually eat this? Try it for me." After hearing this, Guo Shao broke a piece for her.
The smooth and vermilion lips of the golden cups kissed, and the jade-white white porcelain bit a small piece, frowned slightly. Guo Shao smiled and said, "Try chewing it more, it will become sweet."
She chewed for a while and smiled, "It's really sweet! It's not bad..."
Guo Shao said: "This kind of cake is certainly not as good as a finely prepared staple food. It is very coarse at first; but as long as you taste it carefully, you can still taste the sweetness and its original cereal fragrance."
"It seems to make sense." Jinzhan smiled. After a while, she murmured softly: "I have never been as comfortable, relaxed and happy as today... Brother Shao was given to me by God. That morning when it was stormy and rainy, you were lying on the street so inconspicuously and trembling. It turned out that God was rewarding me with the most inconspicuous method."
Guo Shao listened thoughtfully, as if he was savoring the words of Fu Jinzhan and feeling what she could feel.
Fu Jinzhan turned his head to look at Guo Shao again: "Do you know what I said in Jinxiang Palace yesterday?"
Guo Shao snorted, looking a little dull. He didn't say much, but he was very attentive in daily life. Fu Jinzhan said, "I want you to be with me all the time."
Guo Shao thought about it and gradually understood Fu Jinzhan's meaning. Yesterday she said, "When I was leaving" (left the world) that she wanted Guo Shao to be buried alive, probably to express an attachment... a bit extreme, but Guo Shao didn't feel scared, but looked at her face moved. Her eyes couldn't help but look at Fu Jinzhan's delicious lips.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance.
The heartstrings that had just trembled were interrupted. Guo Shao turned around and saw that Lu Chengyong and the others had finally caught up.
Fu Jinzhan also looked back, squinted his eyes and danced the straight post road on the plain, and turned around and said, "I still want to run between the heaven and earth, as free as a bird!"
After hearing this, Guo Shao carried her directly on the back. This time he didn't run so fast, but ran with two guards. Fu Jinzhan hugged him tightly from behind, and the soft touch on her back made people feel heart-pounding, and her warm face was also very comfortable to put on her vest.
"That river is Caishui." Guo Shao pointed ahead, and several small hills in the distance where the river extended came into view. "Go!" He shouted, and accelerated to run towards the mountain.
The group climbed up a hill, and Fu Jinzhan immediately made a sound in surprise. On the hillside, the noise of "bang bang bang..." came from the wind, and other noises suddenly became noisy.
Looking at me, I saw a large area of houses with horizontal and vertical layouts in front of me, and the noise came from the complex. Behind these hills, beside the Caishui River, it seemed like a small town was built, with rough and simple buildings, with at least dozens of buildings. A wide canal was dug out of the Caishui River and introduced into a valley not far away. It was divided into more than a dozen tributaries on the edge of the mountain. The river flowed straight down the valley from above, like man-made waterfalls; there were many houses in the valley.
Below the waterfall, you can see the huge wheels of the waterwheel turning slowly.
This is not a beautiful natural scenery, but it has a unique charm, especially the water wheel is like a Ferris wheel in an amusement park, and looks very magnificent. No wonder Fu Jinzhan burst out in surprise when she first saw it.
"Is this the Jiafang?" Fu Jinzhan asked.
Guo Shao smiled and said, "I asked the Empress Dowager to allocate a large amount of money from the inner treasury to build armor. The money was spent. Wherever it was spent, you see it is here."
Fu Jinzhan looked slightly sideways, and saw that there was a guard behind him immediately, so he didn't say anything. The guard now thought she was Guo Shao's wife Fu Ermei.
"The water wheel is the best." Fu Jinzhan said softly, very much like Fu Ermei's remarks. Fu Ermei will pay the most attention to this simple and intuitive thing.
Guo Shao said: "The water wheel was made by Li Fang's office, which was ordered by Li Fang to find someone. I only saw his results after I came back from Shu Kingdom. This guy is a little greedy for money, but I was so scared that I probably didn't greedy anymore. All the money was spent on my ideas. This time I won a lot of money to conquer Shu, so I have to let the empress dowager reward him highly... Let's go down and take a look!"
The closer the valley, the louder the sound.
The river water poured down from above hit the huge water truck's wheels with a loud "rustling" sound. The wheel was not very exquisitely made, and it was very friction when it rotated, and it was "gurgling" sounds with a rhythmic sound from the house, which must be the impact of the forging hammer.
The entire forging hammer assembly has basically not changed, the power unit has changed from power accumulation to hydraulic power. The ancients used water trucks in many places, including on ships, and it was easy to carry them over according to the same rules... Guo Shao did not take care of this step. He was still fighting in Shu at that time. This kind of workshop was too noisy, and it would have caused trouble in the city for a long time, and now it has moved to the suburbs.
Hydraulic forging hammer! It was actually created like this. Guo Shao didn't know what the structure of the hydraulic forging hammer developed in human history was, but it was definitely not what he saw now. In fact, the device he made was very strange and inconsistent, but it could forge a whole piece of metal abrasive... It's enough to be used, but he couldn't figure out what the hydraulic forging hammer should look like.
"The water wheel drives this rotor. The water wheel is big and slow, and the rotor inside is small and fast." Guo Shao said with a pointing voice.
Fu Jinzhan opened her eyes wide with interest. In this dirty workshop full of dust, she looked like a pearl falling into ashes. The scene at this time was very strange.
"Did you see the iron chain hanging on the outside of the rotor?" Guo Shao pointed again, "When turning, the iron chain will be pulled because the direction is far and near."
The circular motion turns into linear motion, and the efficiency of the transformation seems to be a bit low and there is no way to go.
At this moment, two civil servants came in, and the Jiafang Office ordered Li Fang to breathe heavily, and he was running. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "Greetings to Guo Du to inspect, Mrs. Guo."
Another official who held the ceremony was actually the envoy of the Ministry of Vehicles, Zan Jurun. What did this guy come here to do? The relationship between Zaojiafang and the Ministry of Vehicles, Guo Shao ignored him for a moment.
"Li Shuling, you're doing a good job." Guo Shao patted his shoulder. Fu Jinzhan ignored them. She is Fu Ermei now, so she can't say anything like the Ai family has rewards.
Li Fang hurriedly said: "What matters are all about?... I am very happy to be driven by Guo Du's inspection."
Guo Shao said: "Continue to do it well, I will not treat you badly."
Fu Jinzhan asked softly: "Did these things be made by Li Fang?"
Li Fang hurriedly said, "Madam, I'm all made according to the arrangements of the inspection by Guodu. I'm looking for someone."
Fu Jinzhan couldn't help but look up at Guo Shao.
Guo Shao said: "Hydraulic transmission was made by Li Fang."
"It's not me, it's Manager Lu, who built the ship... I'm looking for someone." Li Fang said. After hearing this, Guo Shao laughed and said, "It's also a skill to find someone who can use it."
Li Fang smiled and said, "Guo Du has over-professional."
At this time, Guo Shao turned his head and looked at Zan Jurun who was left aside and asked, "Envoy Zan came to inspect the Afang Office?"
Zan Jurun bowed and said, "A while ago, the lower officials were in charge of the Northern Army. They found that the new armor was very good at defending, and the previous ring-locked armor and bows were not very defensive. This whole armor had a very high defense against sharp weapons, so they came to take a look at the workshop."
Guo Shao nodded and did not make any mistakes. Zan Jurun has always been an official of the Zhou Dynasty. He was well-off, so there was no problem.
At this time, Zan Jurun said, "The officials think they can change it. For example, the soldiers of the Northern Army said that the helmet is not breathable, and the whole iron plate is so hot that it can't be worn. They come over and have someone try another look, so General Guo is interested."
"It's really not breathable, and it's not very comfortable for me to wear it." Guo Shao went to see him.
I saw that there were various armors in another room as a warehouse. There was also a guardian at the door, who probably managed the things going in and out. A pair of armor was hung on a wooden rack. There was no change in both chest and arms, and the helmet and shoulder armor had slightly changed. The helmet was connected by two pieces of armor with rivets. The iron plate on the top pressed against the lower part, which was breathable in the middle, but there were two layers at the connection, which was not easy to be inserted by weapons. The appearance on the top was also changed, and a feather was inserted, which looked much better.
Zan Jurun said: "When the officials watched the formation, they thought the clothes and armor were better, the plastic surgery was more powerful, and the morale of the soldiers was higher. There was also these shoulder armor, which made it easier to move."
Guo Shao looked carefully and couldn't help but look back at Zan Jurun. The mail at the moving part was thickened and connected to the plate armor. In this way, the soldiers could wear it directly without the inner and outer layers, reducing the weight. Guo Shao could see that the most troublesome part of this pair of armor was not the main parts of the plate armor, but rather the mail at the connecting parts, such as skirt armor; of course, the plate armor consumed more iron.
Sure enough, Li Fang said: "The mail is laborious and costly. The dozens of workshops above are all made of mail, and only a dozen hammer workshops below are enough. Fortunately, the inner treasury is generous in allocating money, so how can you find someone if you have money?"
Guo Shao said: "Li Shuling Ting can find someone."
