Duwei Mansion.
Zhang Qi was dressed in luxurious dark clothes.
Dozens of servants and maids behind him knelt down and kowtowed.
"My lord, Zhang Qi, the captain of the central part of Youzhou, would like to thank your majesty for the reward."
Zhang Qi bowed slightly and faced the consecrated eunuch and Zong Zheng.
After bowing, the eunuch and Zong Zheng stepped forward and placed on him the accessories and seal that symbolized Liehou.
"The Marquis of Liao is Yingwu. Capturing the two kings alive this time can be said to have done a great service for our great Han Dynasty."
Zongzheng smiled and stroked his beard. He was the member of the Liu clan and was responsible for managing the marriages of Liu's children and recording the genealogy.
This time I also came here to get Zhang Qi’s birth date to use with Princess Qingling.
"Hahaha, Zongzheng is ridiculous. These are what I should do. As a captain, I have the responsibility to protect the land!"
"Hahaha, okay, if all the soldiers in the world are like Liaohou, then the big man will live for thousands of years!"
"Thank you for your reward, Zong Zheng, please come to Huangmen. I have prepared a banquet, and I also ask for your respect."
"You deserve to drink Liaohou's wine, please."
"please."
The main hall of the Duwei Mansion.
Zhang Qidu used to work here, but today, it has become the venue for banquets.
Meat.
fruit.
vegetable.
liquor.
soup.
Everything is available.
This made the eunuchs and clan members who came to the bitter cold land of the border county during this period extremely greedy.
"Everyone, today is my first day as a marquis. This glass of wine is dedicated to Your Majesty!"
"Respectfully!"
Everyone knelt down on the soft floor, raised their wine glasses, and drank with a flick of their sleeves.
"Second cup, here's to you all, please!"
"please!"
"Third cup, here's to my great Han soldiers. Only with them guarding our land can we have peace. Here's to you!"
"Respectfully!"
Three glasses of wine.
Zhang Qi chuckled: "Please do as you please, Liao land is short of supplies. Please forgive me if there is any inconvenience in hospitality."
"Haha, the Marquis of Liao is too humble. The banquet here is even more sumptuous than the banquet in Chang'an."

"Everyone sent away?"
bedroom.
Zhang Qi smelled of alcohol all over his body.
Bai Xing nodded: "They are all sent away, each with a thousand white dragons. It's hard to say about the clan, but the eunuchs feel that they are in a good mood."
"Well, we can win over whoever we can. Having an informant in the Han Dynasty is a good thing for us."
"I think so too."
Bai Xing wet the towel from the copper basin and wiped Zhang Qi's body.
While wiping, he reported the summary of the recently sent intelligence.
"The captains from the Zhao Kingdom who escorted the gifts stayed at the Zhao Palace. Their letter arrived today, saying that the Prince of Zhao Kingdom is plotting something against the king's wife."
Zhang Qi's closed eyes suddenly widened.
"We didn't succeed. The captains arrived just in time and had a conflict with the prince's servants. They almost killed someone in the prince's palace."
"Deploy 10,000 Liaodong troops to station at the border of Zhao. I want to see if the prince of Zhao really doesn't want to die!"
"In addition, I will send something to the clan, and ask them to set an auspicious day to pick up the princess as soon as possible, and inform the captains who stayed in the Zhao Kingdom that if they die in the Zhao Kingdom, I will ask the entire Zhao Palace to They were buried with him.”
"promise."
Bai Xing agreed and continued to wipe Zhang Qi's body.
"The sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corns that were trial planted in Xianbei have all been harvested, and the yield per acre of land is very high. Manager Hui asked whether a large area should be replanted."
"Change, I asked Liu Perun to look for these crops to increase grain production. Now that we have achieved results, let's get started."
"The 680,000 acres of fields are now at the limit of cultivation. Unless the water is drained, the fields cannot be extended. Let Hui start to replant, and allocate 400,000 acres of land to potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn. The remaining 200,000 acres are still planted with sorghum and soybeans, and those scattered areas continue to be planted with seasonal vegetables."
"promise."
Zhang Qi closed his eyes. He drank too much today and felt sleepy. Under Bai Xing's service, he soon fell into a deep sleep.
evening.
He just woke up, opened his eyes, and yawned.
Liaohou.
"Haha." Zhang Qi couldn't help but shook his head and smiled.
"Bai Xing, I'll be away for a while, and everything in the Captain's Mansion will remain as usual."
"promise!"
With his eyes closed, Zhang Qi came to the world of riding and slashing.
Nowadays, Silonia, the stronghold in the world of riding and cutting, is already as lively as the towns outside.
Of course, there are also a few dull-looking NPCs among the pedestrians walking on the street.
These pedestrians are naturally the people that Zhang Qi brought into the world of riding and cutting.
There were originally 3,000 men and women and now there are almost 8,000 people.
It has been five years since Zhang Qi came to this world. The three thousand people before him were brought in three years ago, three years from the outside world, and seventy-two years from riding on the world. Two generations have passed.
They live here and regard Zhang Qi as a god. They are absolute loyalists in the true sense.
And besides the number of people.
The biggest changes are the dozens of large buildings outside Silonia.
Among them are colleges, academies of sciences, factories, materials research institutes, and other buildings built based on Zhang Qi's cognition.
Leaving the castle, saying goodbye to a few old acquaintances.
Materials Research Institute.
Zhang Qi came here. Rubber trees have taken root in the world of riding and cutting for decades. During this time, scholars who use rubber parts have almost regarded it as a lifelong subject.
Nowadays, rubber products are becoming mature, and rubber water pipes, sealing rings, rubber gloves and other products have detailed processing and production records.
And these are what Zhang Qi cares about the most.
The rubber water pipe can perfect the idea he proposed and the peristaltic pump was born from the hands of scholars. This is the simplest water pumping equipment. It does not require electricity and can use human or animal power to pump water continuously.
This was of vital help to him in transforming the vast swamps in the Northeast.
The seals and rubber gloves are prepared for war.
One is related to food preservation during long-distance marches, and the other can be used as sterile gloves.
With the sealing ring, the storage time of cans can be extended again. Now Xianbei has begun to produce cans. These are all preparations for future battles with the Han army.
Don't think that just giving some pancakes and dried meat to a war is enough. During the war, food is as important as equipment.
Because it can make people feel better. Only when the mood is good can the morale be sustained.
When the war started, Zhang Qi would dare to say "crush" as long as he didn't encounter troops with high faith while munching on bread and dried meat and eating delicious cans with high salt and sugar.
Metal, materials, equipment, the world of riding and slashing can bring surprises to Zhang Qi almost every time.
He has already planted the seeds of physics and chemistry. When the number of people studying them increases, great men will be born from the masses.
Zhang Qi never thought of completing the reform of the world from his generation.
That's impossible.
He is no saint either.
Technology needs time to accumulate. Things that are far ahead of this era that can be born now are all derived from Zhang Qi's self-knowledge, rather than pure research.
