Douluo: My dear grandson, come quickly, Grandpa, I am Titled Douluo

Chapter 233 Lou Gao Comes to See You
"What about two thousand rifles for one month?" Ye Tian stared at Amory and said.

"This..." Amory fell into a dilemma for a moment.

Although the output of [-] rifles in three months seems to be much less than the output of [-] rifles in a month.

But you must know that the steam engine has not yet been mass-produced.

The power of the steam engine can be used to make firearms, at least until next month.

It's a bit unacceptable to make a rifle purely by hand for a month.

"First of all, according to the artisans just mentioned, I will allocate them to you. If there are not enough manpower, you can tell me, but the delivery of the weapons will be completed in one month."

Before Amaury could promise, Ye Tian spoke again.

In times of crisis, all we need now is time.

More guns, more power.

Having said that, Ye Tian looked at Zhou Jing, Wang Ling and the other generals again:
"The [-] troops repairing the railway can be ordered today to move along the railway, and Wang Ling will lead it."

Wang Ling is the youngest among the several generals, and he has a stronger desire to be promoted.

The soul masters around the railway have already been cleared by the army once.

Therefore, there are not many aspects that require troops to fight.

The main thing is to maintain order and help transport supplies, and there are some engineers in it.

"The last general takes orders." Wang Ling stood up and bowed to Ye Tian, ​​with a look of disappointment on his face.

Repairing the railway, in the eyes of Wang Ling, is a small job after all.

It is far less than going to the battlefield and earning more military merits.

Regarding Ye Tian's arrangement, Wang Ling had some vague guesses.

Probably because there are still a group of capable ministers and generals in Suotuo City.

After careful calculation, those people were the first batch to follow Ye Tian, ​​and naturally they were more highly valued by Ye Tian.

"Ye Dutong, except for the [-] troops led by Wang Ling, can the remaining [-] troops return to Suotuo City for training?" Zhou Jing asked:
"My lord, when you ordered General Hu Yanxiang to form the law enforcement team, you transferred 3000 people. When Hongdou formed the military supply department, you also transferred more than [-] people. Among the army, there are still several thousand people stationed in the cities of the parish. maintain security."

"Actually, after General Wang Ling took away 2 troops, the remaining army was only a little over [-]."

"It just so happens that the household registration system of the Angel Diocese has also been established, and Hongdou can help to recruit another [-] innocent sons from good families into the army." Ye Tian nodded lightly.

In terms of supplementing military strength, there should be no ambiguity.

"As for the training you mentioned, you can wait a few days later and give them a half-month vacation to reunite with their families."

The preparation of food supplies takes time.

Especially guns and ammunition, at least one month later.

Ye Tian was going to use the Jiancheng army as a surprise soldier.

Naturally, the surprise soldiers should be hidden first, so as not to catch anyone by surprise.

Therefore, there is no need to pass the tension to the army in advance.

"This subordinate understands." Zhou Jing cupped his hands.

"After today, I will set off and rush to Soto City."

"Do you have any questions?" Ye Tian asked.

Everyone was speechless.

Ye Tian looked at Bai Chenxiang, smiled and said, "You go with me."

"Okay, Lord Dutong." Bai Chenxiang smiled sweetly, and readily agreed.

……

evening.

Dutongfu.

A personal guard came to report: "Lord Du Tong, Su Zi asked Master Su to bring a master named Lou Gao to visit."

Hearing this, Ye Tian was slightly stunned.

Didn't it be agreed, Su Ziwen took him to the hotel for a gathering.

Why did Lou Gao take the initiative to come?Ye Tian straightened his clothes, waved his hand and said, "Take me there."

"Yes."

Led by his personal guard, Ye Tian came to the guest room.

"It's an honor for Master Lou Gao to come here in person."

Ye Tian took the lead for the first time and saluted Lou Gao.

Then he looked at Su Ziwen who was next to Lou Gao, and said with a light smile, "Originally, I planned to ask Zi Wen to take me to the hotel for a visit, but I didn't expect you to come here in person, Master."

"My lord, you are too serious."

In front of him was a tall man with very solid muscles and a bearded Lou Gao, who hurriedly returned the gift.

Seeing that Ye Tian was like the etiquette for juniors to meet their elders, Lou Gao looked quite surprised.

You know, blacksmiths have a very low status in Douluo.

Although he has some fame in the forging world, his status is definitely not higher than that of the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall.

Logically speaking, with Ye Tiansheng's status, he should be extremely proud.

Unexpectedly, Ye Tian was so humble.

When you meet him for the first time, greet him.

Lou Gao was really flattered.

Lou Gao said, "I came to Jiancheng for two things. One is to observe the steam engine made by the student."

"Secondly, I just want to communicate with you, Master Shengzi."

"According to Ziwen, the steam engine was actually developed by you, Master Shengzi. In terms of blacksmithing skills, your ability and ideas are not inferior to my master. In terms of emotion and reason, I should take the initiative to visit you. .”

talking.

Lou Gao saluted again: "Please forgive me, Son, I came here uninvited."

"What's the point?" Ye Tian smiled and stretched out his hand to invite Lou Gao to sit down.It seems that the other party is not only a skilled person, but also very flexible in mind.

This kind of talent is exactly what Ye Tian needs.

At Ye Tian's invitation, Lou Gao sat down again.

Looking sideways at Ye Tiandao with a thoughtful face: "Before you came, my lord, Ziwen had already told me about the principle of the steam engine."

"To be honest, the old man was also surprised."

"The steam engine is not the most difficult of the mechanical crafts I have made, but the power it can provide is beyond the reach of a hundred giant waterwheels."

"Dare to ask, Master Shengzi, how did you come up with the idea of ​​the steam engine?"

As a blacksmith, especially a master blacksmith.

What I care most about is nothing less than inspiration and self-breakthrough.

What Lou Gao said was exactly what he pursued all his life.

Ye Tian, ​​who is familiar with the plot line, also understands this point.

In order to attract a master talent like Lou Gao, it is necessary to show him a path that can lead to a higher realm.

Ye Tian said without thinking:

"I think that everything in the world, everything, has a reason."

"I didn't create a new thing, but let the principles that already existed in nature work for me."

"Water flows downhill, and from this, people made waterwheels."

"Water vapor expands, and that's why I invented the steam engine."

"Waterwheels and steam engines may be exquisite, but their principles already exist in nature."

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Su Zi asked next to him in a daze, the principle of the steam engine already existed in nature?

"It's in line with nature, it's close to the Tao!" Lou Gao seemed to have realized something, with a look of emotion on his face.
