Xie Yu suggested that the craftsmen could be used as supervisors to smelt weapons using honeycomb briquettes. Major General Ling Busu was overjoyed after hearing this.
The original craftsman used charcoal to smelt weapons, but the cost of charcoal was too high.
Later, it was improved by master craftsmen and could be smelted from smokeless pebbles. Although the quality of the output was relatively poor, and a considerable part of it was even substandard military products, the expanded output was still worth it.
If briquettes are used instead, although the quality will be lower, the total output will increase, and there will definitely be more suitable products.
Moreover, the craftsman's smelting technology for smokeless coal has been greatly improved compared to before. Technology will always improve, so don't give up eating because of choking.
Speaking of ordnance, it was because the coal smelting technology was immature back then that there were a large number of substandard ordnance. These substandard ordnance should have been destroyed.
However, the huge profits contained in it made those black-hearted powerful people collude with the remnants of the ruthless emperor. This is how the Gucheng Eucalyptus was created and the Huo family...
He said goodbye and Liang Qiuqi walked out of the rear compartment.
Liang Qiuqi: "Young Lord, Xie Yu does have some skills and vision. Considering the kindness that Young Lord has shown him, why not accept him as a subordinate."
Ling Busuo was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he said dissatisfiedly: "Qiu Qi, I have said this before, and I will not accept him as a servant of the tribe."
"First, I still can't see through this man's methods, and second, he was once a slave. Even though he says he doesn't mind, he can still see through it."
"But, if you are serious and want to treat him as a slave, you must have forgotten that cruel hand on the grassland!"
Liang Qiuqi: "The last general made a mistake, it's just a pity for the young lord. Xie Yu is a very talented person. If such a person is not gathered in the palace, if he is gathered by other nobles, he will bite the young lord back."
Ling Buyi: "No, there's no need to feel pity. Xie Yu is proud in his heart. If you treat him well, he will remember it and use it for me."
"Besides, everything belongs to Your Majesty. I congratulate Xie Yu for being able to serve the country."
Liang Qiuqi: "Young Lord, I understand..."
Xie Yu, who returned to the mansion, smiled when she saw Pan'er counting the clothes and belongings in the palace with a happy face.
At least there will be some benefits. The three shops pointed out are compensated by the Shaofu. As long as my Xie family is always there, they are qualified to sell briquettes. Pan'er is naturally very happy.
I also talked with Pan'er about the manpower to take over the three shops, and about arranging for people to open a factory and purchase low-quality coal from the Shaofu to make briquettes for sale. Taking advantage of the cold weather, we must arrange it as soon as possible.
By the way, there are still thousands of acres of fertile land to receive, and they will be ready for spring plowing after the weather warms up. I am really glad that Xie Yu recruited them from Qing County at that time.
While eating, Zhu Er, who said that she was proficient in singing, dancing, cooking, and cooking, cooked the meal herself. This day was fine.
With the palace call, although he felt a little sorry for his brothers in the Qimen Army, Xie Yu could finally fish in an open and honest manner.
Even during the last three days of rest, it was hard to say anything in the Qimen Army. It was great to fish in an open and honest manner.
Finally, it was the Lantern Festival, and after knowing that they could catch fish, they hoped that Erzhuer and sisters would take advantage of Xie Yu's favor for them, and wanted to beg Xie Yu to take them to the lantern festival.
Xie Yu, who was about to agree, suddenly thought of something and immediately organized the sisters not to go to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival tonight. At the same time, he also restricted the servants in the mansion not to go to the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
Because Xie Yu suddenly thought that some netizens seemed to have said something about what happened to the male and female protagonists at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
Xie Yu couldn't remember what happened at the moment, but he expected it to be something that could be mentioned alone. It might not be a trivial matter.
Xie Yu has no confidence in the ability of the male and female protagonists in TV dramas to cause trouble.
Moreover, Ling Buyi specifically asked Xie Yu to accompany him tonight, which made Xie Yu have some bad thoughts in his mind.
So, this decision was made. Zhu'er still wanted to act like a spoiled child, but the sensible Pan'er stopped her.
Because Pan'er thought of it, Xie Yu told her to sew a new military uniform for herself. She specifically requested it to be black, with extra white folds of cotton as lining, saying that it would be warm to wear at night when traveling.
Pan'er naturally fulfilled Xie Yu's instructions with all her heart.
But seeing Xie Yu's intention, Pan'er said tentatively: "Master, I have already prepared your new military uniform. Do you want to use it?"
Xie Yu said happily: "It's done. It's just right. I'll use it tonight."
Pan'er suddenly circled Xie Yu's arm and said, "Master, what are you trying to do? Could it be..."
Xie Yu: "What are you thinking about? The Major General is kind to me and wants me to patrol the camp with him tonight. It's the New Year again, so I need to put on new military uniforms to show respect."
Pan'er: "In this case, Pan'er understands and will restrain the servants in the mansion for the general."
Later, after Xie Yu had a "love" meal, he put on his warm black military uniform, carried his bow and arrows across his sword, and rode slowly to the Major General's Mansion.
After having a simple dinner with the other black guards, they put on one of the black guard's armors and wore full military uniforms, and together they welcomed Major General Ling Buyi.
Ling Buyi walked forward with a solemn expression. Liang Qiufei pulled Xie Yu who was leading the horse and asked him to follow behind him.
He whispered: "Brother Xie, why do you feel fatter than me in this body?"
Xie Yubai took a look and said: "Who made General Xu think that I was too thin and didn't have the body and bones of a male from the Qimen Army, so he asked me to gain weight."
Hearing what Xie Yu said, Liang Qiu Feifei said happily: "No wonder General Xu cares about me so much because he was greedy for my body. He was in Qimen..."
At this time, Liang Qiuqi saw Major General Ling Buyi and Zou frowning in front, and immediately stopped him in a low voice: "Silence."
Liang Qiufei had no choice but to swallow back what he wanted to say.
The only sounds left in the team were the sound of horse hooves, footsteps, and the occasional collision of weapons.
When I arrived at the garrison, I listened to the order from Shangfeng, saying that these were peaceful days and there was no war in the surrounding areas. This year's curfew would be postponed by two hours compared to previous years, and a long and wide street would be opened for the subjects to watch the lanterns and have fun.
Thinking about it this way, it’s not basically until dawn.
It seems that I have to turn into a night security guard and work the night shift, but I still work overtime for free. As expected, the debt of gratitude is the hardest to repay.
Not long after, Xie Yu, who climbed up the city tower, saw the lively lights of the long street and immediately put aside his small thoughts.
This is the best viewing platform!
Then Liang Qiuqi found Xie Yu and said that they were going to arrest some people tonight. In order to prevent the thieves from resisting or committing suicide, they needed to borrow Xie Yu's superb archery skills.
After all, Xie Yu had no choice but to agree.
After Liang Qiuqi walked away, Xie Yu secretly exclaimed: "Sure enough, something must have happened during the Lantern Festival, if it weren't for the fact that netizens didn't bother to say it."
"Could it be that the thief is very capable of escaping, takes the heroine hostage, and asks the hero to be a hero to save her, and then the relationship between the two... the end of the book."

Throwing away this idea containing two million words, Xie Yu began to prepare his bow and arrows again.
When shooting at night, you need to be familiar with the characteristics of the bow and arrow.
