Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 69 If you want the horse to run, let the horse eat the tender grass first

"I plan to build a forge in our barracks!"

"General Cao needs to select fifty trustworthy and powerful soldiers from the brothers and let them join the forge!"

With the words in his mouth, Lu Yu put out the "tool maps" that had been drawn on the table one by one.

Cao Xiu narrowed his eyebrows and watched these patterns.

Among these, there are patterns similar to fishing nets, some similar to hoes, and more shovels often used by farmers…

However, if you look closely, these patterns are slightly different from fishing nets, hoes, and shovels.

This is?

Immediately, Cao Xiu had a doubt in his heart.

"This is the tool needed to increase the efficiency of tomb raiding."

Lu Yu's words came next, and he pointed to these patterns in turn, "This is called Tie Xian. During this time, General Cao always asked me a question. During the robbery of tombs, some of the heavy stone gates in some tombs were extremely strong and difficult to pry. For this reason, there is no choice but to face many houses with treasures hidden in tombs.”

"However, it would be different if you had this iron drill. This iron drill is made of high-quality iron. As long as you can find the gap in the tomb door and insert the iron drill, it is enough to pry open the heavy stone door."

"Besides, inserting the iron drill into the soil can easily determine whether the masonry or soil is buried under the soil layer, which facilitates the simple survey of the location of the tomb and the scope of the tomb."

Don't look at Lu Yu's words...

In fact, it is already concise enough.

Really want to talk about it carefully, the lever principle is used to pry open the stone gate.

A fulcrum can shake the knowledge of the earth... Give Lu Yu a blackboard, and he can teach Cao Xiu a whole day.

... Cao Xiu heard it in a fog. This "Thousand Miles Horse" is not good at these theoretical knowledge.

Anyway, I don't care if I can understand what Lu Yu said, in a word... just the two words "brilliant"!

After talking about the iron drill, Lu Yu described some other tools, such as "Luoyang shovel", "flying tiger claws", "centipede hanging on the mountain ladder" and so on.

Of course, with Cao Xiu's brains, it is definitely incomprehensible... You have to practice to realize the true knowledge!

However, Cao Xiu raised a whole new question.

"Young Master Lu, this is... an ordinary forging, you can just hire a famous craftsman in Yanzhou, why do we need to build a 'forge' by ourselves, and choose fifty brothers?"

No wonder Cao Xiu asked so...

You know, he is the most elite cavalry in Cao's camp.

Now it has been given the title of "Dragon Rider". If it is said to be a tomb robbery fight, it is necessary to draw out a hundred or ten people.

Can...forge some iron tools?Why bother?
Brothers have enough to eat every day... That's waiting to fight for Young Master Lu Yu on the battlefield, not to be a craftsman in logistics, none of Qiao Pei's children are afraid of death.

However, how could Cao Xiu understand Lu Yu's mind?

To give the simplest example, Lu Yu collaborated with a friend to create an APP when he was in college.

After the test, the response was very good. I thought I would make a lot of money, but I never thought, but within half a month, "an Antarctic animal company" made a very similar APP, and then used super traffic to crush Lu Yu's side. There is no slag left.

It is for this reason that the fear of being dominated by "copying homework" accompanied Lu Yu throughout his university career.

In ancient times, although the involution was not so serious, but... it was plagiarized and imitated... I had to guard against it!
"Luoyang shovel", "flying tiger claws", "centipede hanging mountain ladder" and these tomb robbery things must be made from their own forging workshops and used by their trusted brothers. Each person is equipped with a sufficient number of tools, each tool It must be bound to the person who equips it, so that the drawings and tools will not be leaked, and naturally it will not give other princes the opportunity to "copy homework".

Of course, if Cao Xiu thought about this kind of thing, he couldn't understand it...

Simply, Lu Yu patted his shoulder. "General Cao, just listen to me, it's beneficial and not harmful! In the future, the brothers of these forging workshops are afraid that there will be more opportunities for promotion and fortune..."

This…

Cao Xiu hesitated for a moment, and then he murmured. "I'm afraid... it's not easy to choose someone! After all, big guy, who doesn't want to make contributions on the battlefield and shine on the lintel..."

Oh...that's it!

Lu Yu rolled his eyes and thought for a while, but soon his eyes were fixed.

"This is simple. Anyone who is willing to enter the forge will get double the salary! If there are still not enough people, then the salary will be tripled. If it still doesn't work, then it will be quadrupled, five times, six or seven times... Anyway, we are not bad. At this point!"

The salary of a big Han soldier is low... Even if it is several times, it doesn't cost a lot of money. For today's Lu Yu, sprinkle water...

Uh... Cao Xiu was stunned when he heard it.

Sure enough, there is no humanity... He can suddenly feel a little bit of the happiness of a rich man.

"Okay... okay!" Cao Xiu agreed.

In this chaotic world, as long as you have money, ah no... As long as you have food, let alone one forge, you will have no problem opening ten or a hundred forgings!
"General Cao." Lu Yu patted his shoulder again and said earnestly. "Now, we're not short of money, don't save where you use money! Brothers' salaries, if you can make more money, don't hide them... As the saying goes, if you want to make a horse run, you have to let the horse eat it. Tender grass."

"Right..." Lu Yu suddenly thought of something. "General Cao Xiu seems to have an old mother who is still in Wu. Now that Yanzhou is stable, you might as well bring her over. We big men rule the world with filial piety. Go to the grain depot to get some grain...and also give my aunt a big house in Chenliu County, so that she can live long in the future!"

This…

Lu Yu's mention of replacing the house for his mother brought tears to Cao Xiu's eyes. At this moment, Cao Xiu wanted to cry.

You know, this "thousand-mile horse" is a big dutiful son!
In the first year of Chuping, the Cao clan scattered and left the village.

At that time, Cao Xiu was more than ten years old and was dying of his father, so he carried his father's coffin alone... rented a cemetery to bury his father.

Then... he took his mother across the river to Wu for refuge, and was taken in by the prefect of Wu County.

During this period, Cao Xiu burst into tears when he saw the portrait of the former prefect, his grandfather "Cao Ding" hanging on the wall in the official residence of the prefect.
But Cao Cao and Chen Liu raised an army, and Cao Xiu ran for thousands of miles. The only worry and concern in his heart was his mother, who was still in Wu.

This time, listening to Lu Yu's talk about... wanting... asking him to take back his mother, and... asking him to fetch food to buy a mansion for his mother, how could Cao Xiu's heart not be throbbing with the kindness here?
"Young Master Lu... please... please accept Xiu for a bow!" Cao Xiu immediately knelt down...

This move really startled Lu Yu. Lu Yu really didn't think about it that much, mainly because he was too rich. What he said casually... was really just "sprinkling water"... He was far from thinking of giving favors.

He immediately helped Cao Xiu up.

"Small things, small things... Since my aunt is my mother, General Cao should not take it to heart."

"Young Master Lu's kindness, Xiu's heart will be smashed to the ground, there is no way to repay it!" Cao Xiu still kowtowed before standing up.

Uh... Lu Yu was a little embarrassed right away.

In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, he simply said. "Hey... I'm so envious of General Cao, if it wasn't for my father who suffered thousands of swords, I must have...my mother is still alive now! Alas...don't say it, don't say it...

"Master Lu..." Hearing this... Cao Xiu's expression suddenly became very serious, and he cupped his hands. "If one day Young Master Lu finds his father, no matter what his identity is, as long as Young Master Lu gives an order, Xio will take a ruthless shot and give him a good beating for Young Master Lu! Let Young Master Lu have such a bad temper!"

This statement came out.

"Ah..." Cao Cao, who was far away in the government office, sneezed violently. He had a faint feeling in his heart, as if... someone wanted to beat him!

Cao Cao frowned...

Who is so brave?Don't want to live anymore?
