Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

"So, all previous debts can be paid off?"

"Yes." Meng Changqing said, "Look, I came to you first."

Wei Fangyun invited someone in to pour tea. "I'm not in a hurry here. I was just thinking of taking care of you. If you can't get it, you can get the one from Liangzhou Prefecture later."

"That's enough." Meng Changqing said with a smile, "I have brought it and will give it to Sun Tongpan later."

"Okay." Wei Fangyun pressed his brows and leaned back in his chair tiredly.

"Uncle just came back from the camp?" Meng Changqing asked.

Wei Fangyun nodded, "Every year at this time, we have to strengthen our defenses. Since the construction of your Beishan County wall, the Yan army has not launched a large-scale attack. I guess we are lucky.

But we cannot say whether we will have such good luck in the future, so we must not relax in the camp."

Wei Fangyun pushed the snacks in front of Meng Changqing and said, "According to the news sent back by the spies over there, the health of the current king of Yan State is not as good as before. He has fainted several times within this year. The situation in their palace is also unclear. I heard that there is a lot of infighting going on."

"I naturally hope that they become as chaotic as possible."

Wei Fangyun smiled and said, "Who isn't?" He quickly stopped smiling and said, "However, the news from there cannot always be timely, nor can it be guaranteed to be accurate, so we still need to be on guard."

"You're right." Meng Changqing considered that the other party had not rested well, so he exchanged a few words and was about to get up and say goodbye. As soon as he said this, Wei Fangyun raised his hand and said, "Sit down. We haven't seen each other for a long time. If you don't have anything urgent, sit down and talk."

Meng Changqing sat down again, took the teapot from the table and added tea for Wei Fangyun.

"Okay." Wei Fangyun didn't bother to be polite with her, "You can pour it yourself."

"I didn't visit you during the autumn harvest this year because I really didn't have time. I also didn't take care of Liangzhou because many things were handled by Sun Tongpan." Wei Fangyun said, "Although that's the case, I still listened to the situation in all aspects. The weather is good this year, and the harvest in Liangzhou is also good.

I think the same is true for other counties.

If the Yan army hadn't come, the grain output of Liangzhou might have surpassed that of other states. The land and weather here are good, but it's a pity that there's a Yan State next to us."

Since Wei Fangyun mentioned the Yan army, Meng Changqing continued: "Although the Yan army is strong, we have thunder bombs in our hands, so we don't have to be as afraid as before.

To put it bluntly, even if the Yan army comes again, they won’t get any benefit now.”

Wei Fangyun understood what Meng Changqing meant and took two sips of tea. "Speaking of Thunder, I think of Chen Xingqi. You two have been good friends in Beijing. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past two years, he would go to Beishan County to see you regardless of whether he had anything to do or not. It shows that he is a man who values ​​friendship."

“Yes, I didn’t feel that way when I was in the capital in previous years, but after coming here, I feel closer than before.

Young Master Chen is obsessed with the research of thunderbolts and has never paid much attention to other things. "Meng Changqing quickly changed the topic and said, "But when I saw him during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, he seemed to have a lot of worries."

"Everyone in the world always has troubles. Didn't you ask him why he was troubled?"

Meng Changqing pretended, "You know my temper. If he doesn't say anything, I won't ask any more questions."

Wei Fangyun sighed, "I don't know what bothered him, but this matter makes me unhappy too."

Hearing what the other party said, Meng Changqing did not ask, but her eyes clearly said, "What's wrong?"

Wei Fangyun was very sensible. When he met Meng Changqing's gaze, he started talking, "We said earlier that the palace of Yan State was in chaos, and it is the same in Daliang.

What Chen Xingqi did should be the most important thing. He has the ability to improve such a weapon with such great destructive power, which is a blessing for the entire Daliang. The people above should not have set their sights on him. "

At this point, Wei Fangyun sighed again, "Sometimes I just hate that I am insignificant and have little influence. If I had the ability to stand in the palace, I would really like to beat him up. Is the country just a plaything in his hands?"

At first Meng Changqing thought he knew who the other party was talking about, but as he listened more he became unsure.

But she has always been cautious, and even if she didn't know the answer to this question, she wouldn't ask out of curiosity.

"That's getting off topic." Wei Fangyun shook his head. "For something like this, we can only worry about it in our hearts. How can you and I improve it?

By the way, did Chen Xingqi tell you about the grenade he made? "

"Grenade?"

"He didn't say that? Hey, you don't know how many good things he has made in this year. Not only did he improve the thunder bomb, he also improved the earlier throwing bomb, and based on that, he made the hand grenade.

Although this thing is not as powerful as other thunders, it is more flexible to use. If it can be perfected and used on the battlefield, it will definitely make the Yan army suffer." (End of this chapter)
