Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 362 Mo Dao Army
Chapter 64 Mo Dao Army
In fact, together with the craftsmen from Lingzhou who came to Chen Ying from Lingzhou, the craftsmen from Shuozhou and the children of the Eight Great Powers, on the construction site in Shanglinli, the number of civilians at this time was approaching the 5000 mark. It is impossible to easily see the scene of construction together, or even at the same time, in Chang'an City.

Li Xiuning has seen this kind of situation a lot. When the Women's Army was at its peak, it had more than [-] troops and [-] troops. The camp it set up was a city, and it was much larger than ordinary county towns. The joint construction of civilian husbands is far from enough to shock Li Xiuning.

However, Li Xiuning also saw the difference.The first is the neat rows of houses, which are the temporary residence of the craftsmen. This way of arranging the rooms is just like the tents in the army. In the process of working, more than three people lined up in a row, although they were not like Chen Ying's Dingyuan Army soldiers, who raised their legs and settled down neatly, just like the shadow of an army.

In fact, Chen Ying is indeed using militarization to manage civilians, because militarization can improve efficiency, and the phenomenon of chaos and disorder cannot be seen in Shanglin.

When Li Xiuning came to Chen Ying's Wubao, Li Xiuning was really shocked. At a glance, Li Xiuning saw that what Chen Ying built was not an ordinary manor at all, but a castle. The tall and majestic city wall, but from the solid foundation, it can be seen that with such a foundation specification, the city wall can be built to a height of more than three feet.

Chen Ying was still inspecting the progress of Modao in Ironworks, and when Li Xiuning came, Lan Er had to welcome Li Xiuning and go directly to Ironworks. For Chen Ying, he had no secrets worth keeping from Li Xiuning.

Li Xiuning looked at the pretty Lan'er, who was still dressed as a maid, and was faintly curious, why did Chen Ying keep entering the room for Na Lan'er?

Suddenly, Li Xiuning saw a huge pond covering an area of ​​more than one hundred acres, glowing with black luster, even though it was winter, there was still a strong stench.Li Xiuning asked curiously, "What is this?"

Lan'er said: "Well, my lord said that the harvest of crops in the field is too low because of lack of fertility. My lord collects weeds and human and animal manure to fertilize. My lord said that if I use the manure field, The yield per mu of an acre of land can easily be doubled.”

"Double?"

Although Li Xiuning is a princess of the Tang Dynasty, she is not a flower in a greenhouse. She is very aware of people's livelihood accidents. In this era, the grain output is extremely low. In a bumper harvest year, the grain output is only about two stones. If it doubles, wouldn't it be It is said that three or four acres of grain can feed one person?You must know that although Guanzhong is known as the fertile land of eight hundred miles.

Lan'er said: "Returning to the princess, the slaves and servants have never planted different lands. I heard from the gentleman that the millet seeds are the same, and the original land is also adjacent to each other. There is no difference in watering and weeding. The only difference is the fertilizer used. Composting and retting is indeed more effective than fresh manure!"

Li Xiuning nodded and said: "If it is really possible to double the amount, there is no need to double it, even if you only need to charge an extra three or five buckets, I will definitely ask for the title for Chen Lang."

Grain is the country's strategic resource. In later generations, due to the improvement of chemical fertilizers and biotechnology, the yield per mu is extremely high, so China can be completely self-sufficient in grain.However, in this era, even the national strength of the Tang Dynasty will cause large-scale famine due to the famine years.The people were displaced, and even their sons ate each other, causing human tragedy.

Lan'er smiled slightly, and said with a very firm expression: "Mr. Lang is the most knowledgeable person in the world. He said that if he can increase the production, he will definitely increase the production. This year we have bought land, and next year we can harvest a lot of food..."

Li Xiuning is not Lan'er. Lan'er is very superstitious towards Chen Ying, even to the point of paranoia. She believes in her own eyes and judgment. As long as Chen Ying can really increase production for Datang, Datang can earn an extra five or six million yuan every year. Stone grain, these grains are in the hands of the imperial court, and they can play a great role.

Suddenly, Li Xiuning pointed to the busy people and asked, "Are these people Chen Lang's tenants?"

Lan'er shook her head and said: "That's not true, these people are all short-term laborers recruited by Lang Jun, and the craftsmen also came from Lingzhou or Shuozhou to join Lang Jun. In fact, our Chen family has no tenants yet..."

"There are no tenants?" Hearing this, Li Xiuning was taken aback, and asked in surprise: "There are no tenants, so what about next year's spring plowing? Are you busy?"

"Lang Jun said that people who want to farm and make money are idiots!" Lan'er sneered and said: "Lang Jun said that the people he bought will be distributed to those craftsmen who have made outstanding contributions in the future, those craftsmen who have made outstanding contributions , will not only reward dozens or hundreds of acres of land, but also distribute houses, and Chenjiazhuang will become Chenjia Town, or Chenjiacheng in the future."

Li Xiuning felt inexplicably irritated: "What nonsense!"

Li Xiuning subconsciously felt that she seemed to have said something wrong. In her subconscious mind, all of Chen Ying's things should belong to her. Chen Ying's extravagance would definitely ruin his family business.

……

There was nothing to say along the way, Li Xiuning followed Lan'er to the Iron Square Office, but unexpectedly discovered that the Iron Square Office actually had guards from the Eastern Palace's guards outside, and the guards were Li Jiancheng's personal guards, looking at Princess Pingyang. The carriage arrived, and hurried forward to salute.

Before Li Xiuning entered the iron workshop, he saw Li Jiancheng, Chen Ying and dozens of people gathered together. Li Jiancheng rushed to Chen Ying and said, "No, it's too extravagant!"

What Li Jiancheng said was extravagant is justified, because Chen Ying actually wanted to use pineapple wood as the handle of the Mo knife. Pineapple wood is a very precious wood, the wood is tough, the wood grain is very straight, and it has a faint Fragrance is the best material for longevity materials and pillars.

The key is that the handle of the Mo Dao is too much. The Mo Dao made of high-manganese carbon steel has a very strong hardness and is tougher than high-carbon steel. The blade is more than one foot and six feet long. The Mo Dao, which is more than six feet long, may lose the most damage to the handle rather than the original blade in battle. If you count the losses in training, this is not a small amount, not to mention the need for a long about For a straight log of six feet, only the trunk of a whole pineapple tree is suitable, and even the trunks may not be suitable for individual trees. (Customization began to be formed in the Tang Dynasty. The total length of the Mo Dao in historical records is seven feet (one foot in the Tang Dynasty is about nine inches and three minutes now, which is 0.307 meters, and seven feet is about 2.15 meters). The blade is three feet long and the handle It is four feet long and weighs fifteen catties (equivalent to about 20 catties today). This book is not a real history, so there are some changes, readers and friends, please do not take it seriously.)
Some pineapple trees are bent, some are worm-eaten, and some are cracked. I am afraid that cutting down all the pineapple trees near Chang'an may not be enough.

But how Li Jiancheng objected, Chen Ying only looked for the right one, no matter what the price was, anyway, Chen Ying thought more clearly than Li Jiancheng, Mo Dao is not something everyone can play, only strong warriors can wield Mo Dao, Tang Junfu There are about 40 soldiers, of which the Modao Army has no more than [-].

It can be said that every soldier of the Modao Army is one of the best heroes in the Tang Dynasty.

However, Li Jiancheng didn't know that the moment he saw Mo Dao, he fell in love with this weapon.At this time, there were more than [-] Mo Dao made by Chen Ying, and Li Jiancheng couldn't wait to see the effect of Mo Dao Army.

Chen Ying selected fifty strong men over eight feet tall from the left and right guards of the Prince of the Eastern Palace, wearing Mingguang armor and holding Mo Dao, standing in an array.

Mo Dao is worthy of being the king of swords. Although it is only a small formation of 50 people, fifty Mo Dao are lined up in a row, which is quite imposing.

Chen Yingchong said to Li Jiancheng, "His Royal Highness, do you want to see the effect?"

Li Jiancheng nodded.

Li Xiuning, who was standing in the outer circle, didn't show up at all. She also wanted to see what Chen Ying was up to.

Not long after, fifty big pigs weighing more than two hundred catties were put on leather armor or iron armor one by one. The appearance of domestic pigs wearing armor looked very funny, and Li Xiuning couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, Chen Ying turned around and saw Li Xiuning.

Chen Ying was overjoyed, he yelled at the fifty Mo Dao fighters: "Get ready, use the sword!"

The fifty Mo knives were raised neatly, and fell down neatly.Now that the Mo knife is out, who will fight for the front.

"Pfft puff..."

There was not even a sound of screams, and fifty pigs, including pigs and armor, were chopped to pieces by Mo Dao.

Li Jiancheng was dumbfounded.

Li Xiuning was dumbfounded.

Chen Ying was elated.

　There are some mistakes in the description in the original text. The high manganese steel should be dark and not reflect light like a mirror. It has been changed now.
