The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 89

Yuan Xu left the study with the drawings and went straight to the front hall.

Craftsmen have long been waiting outside the front door.

When he came, the craftsmen greeted him one after another.

"Come in with me." Yuan Xu greeted and stepped over the threshold.

Pang Tong and Tian Feng greeted him: "Young master is here."

Yuan Xu handed the drawings to them both: "You two have a look."

Tian Feng took it, and looked at the drawings with Pang Tong.

After reading the blueprint of the killing and forging process, the two of them looked astonished.

Pang Tong asked, "Is this the water dispenser?"

"It's also called well suppression." Yuan Xu said, "With the use of canals, it can continuously provide water to the fields. Why do we need manpower to carry water?"

"With this thing, the water supply in the field will not be a problem." Tian Feng said: "Every time the young master brings out novel objects, it will always be amazing."

"Aren't you two doubting whether it can be used?" Yuan Xu asked.

"Anything that the young master takes out must be usable." The two answered very neatly.

Yuan Xu chuckled: "You two understand. It uses compressed air to form a vacuum between it and water, and draws water in a siphon way."

Tian Feng and Pang Tong couldn't stop nodding, but they didn't fully understand.

They lived in the late Han Dynasty, how could they understand what is compressed air and what is siphon water intake...

The craftsman entered the antechamber.

Tian Feng and Pang Tong returned to their seats, and Yuan Xu asked the craftsmen, "Are you all blacksmiths?"

"Go back to your son." A blacksmith replied, "We are all blacksmiths."

"Everyone is as strong as a cow, and it can be seen that they are all blacksmiths." Yuan Xu nodded: "Can something more complicated be made?"

"May I ask you, how complicated is it?" the blacksmith lowered his head and asked.

Yuan Xu winked, and the guard took the blueprint from Tian Feng and handed it to him.

The blacksmith took the blueprint and looked at it with the others.

He said to Yuan Xu: "We have never built such a thing, but we can try it."

"What I want is not to try." Yuan Xu said: "It must be made."

"We understand." The blacksmiths agreed in unison.

"How many days can it be made?" Yuan Xu asked them.

"Seven or eight days should be enough." The blacksmith replied.

"Up to three days." Yuan Xu said: "After three days, leave it to me for inspection."

The blacksmith said seven or eight days, because he was worried that the time was too tight, and if he couldn't finish it, he would cause trouble to his upper body.

In fact, three days is more than enough for them.

They all agreed, and the blacksmith left with the drawings.

Pang Tong asked Yuan Xu, "My lord, aren't you worried that the blueprints will be circulated outside, and everyone else will learn from them?"

"The snubbing structure is inherently simple." Yuan Xu said: "Choose a blacksmith at random, and you can forge it after using it once. Do you think that if the blueprint is not circulated, you can hide it from the world?"

He smiled and shook his head: "There are some things we can enjoy exclusively, but there are more things we can't do."

"My lord, you mean to let it spread all over the place?" Tian Feng also asked, "Even if Cao Cao and others get the method of forging, it doesn't matter?"

"As long as something appears, it will always be learned by others." Yuan Xu replied: "For example, the tomatoes and peppers that will be planted in the farm, we can guarantee that the first crop will only be owned by us. Wait until the second crop, you will see, the folks must have already passed it on. open."

"Even so, the young master still wants to build a farm?" Tian Feng asked: "Isn't it unnecessary?"

"No." Yuan Xu replied: "If we plant this year and spread it next year, we have already made a huge profit for a year. When we plant other crops in the second year, wouldn't we be able to earn another year? As for other crops Haoxiong, after they have learned it, I will vigorously promote it in Hebei. Rare things are expensive, but once they are everywhere, can they be sold at a high price?"

Tian Feng and Pang Tong were stunned.

With Yuan Xu's ability, it is not difficult to get the seeds of crops that are not available in the Central Plains.

The farm introduces new ones every year, earns a huge profit and immediately changes the operating crops, and can make a lot of money every year.

As for other people, even if they get the seeds, since they are already common in the market, it is impossible to have much benefit.

Tian Feng said: "It turned out that crops would spread all over the world."

"You can't hide it, so why cover it up?" Yuan Xu said, "Being ahead of others is the root of profit."

"My lord is wise!" Tian Feng and Guo Jia said in unison.

Guo Jia and others led the army to conquer Bingzhou and came to Taiyuan within a day.

Entering Jinyang, local officials came to greet him.

"I see that the fields on the road are deserted. Is it true that the senior cadres have sent troops to Taiyuan?" Guo Jia asked the new governor of Taiyuan.

The sheriff replied: "There was no large-scale invasion, but Xia Zhao led troops to harass and harass Taiyuan, making Taiyuan miserable."

"What a Xia Zhao, let him run away, but now he is causing trouble in Taiyuan." Gan Ning said angrily, "If I catch him, he must be chopped into pieces!"

"General Gan, don't get angry." Guo Jia persuaded: "He is a high-ranking cadre and general, and it is reasonable to harass Taiyuan."

"Young master came to Taiyuan when the senior officials gave up the house." Gan Ning was puzzled, "Why did he turn his face so quickly?"

"It didn't touch the fundamentals at the beginning." Guo Jia replied: "Now the young master wants to take his military power, how can he agree?"

Gan Ning nodded, and asked Guo Jia, "What is Feng Xiao's plan?"

"Of course Xia Zhao will be destroyed first." Guo Jia asked, "Would General Gan want to go?"

Gan Ning asked, "What do you want me to do?"

"General Xu and I lead the army first." Guo Jia said: "We are stationed at the junction of Taiyuan and Yanmen, Xia Zhao will not dare to come. General Gan led a thousand soldiers to transport empty grain carts, and more than a hundred of them were escorted by armor. The rest are disguised as grain transporters. Xia Zhao’s purpose is to harass Taiyuan, and there are military grains to be sent to the army, how can he not come?”

"When will Fengxiao leave?"

"Soldiers marching long distances, it is not advisable to set off immediately." Guo Jia said, "Receive for three days, and then it will not be too late to go out again."

The sheriff asked, "What can Taiyuan do for the army?"

Guo Jia said: "Let the people go home, the son has done so much for Taiyuan, it must not be neglected."

"The young master is not here, and the people are very worried." The sheriff replied: "The high-ranking cadres have a strong army, and Jia Wenhe is also with him."

"The old man reunites but is on the battlefield." Guo Jia sneered: "I want to see, so what if he is here?"

The army rested in Jinyang. Three days later, Guo Jia and Xu Huang led the army and set off.

Gan Ning chose an officer of his size and put on his armor to accompany him.

Looking at the army from a distance, it seems that all three of them are there.

On the second day after Guo Jia and Xu Huang set off, Gan Ning led a thousand elite disguised as grain transporters and set off with empty grain carts.

After more than a hundred miles away from Jinyang, Xia Zhao has not yet appeared.

Gan Ning was a little anxious. He was worried that if Xia Zhao didn't come, it would not be so easy to track down and kill them.

The team was marching, and a sharp-eyed soldier pointed forward: "General, there are troops ahead."

Gan Ning looked over.

Sure enough, a cloud of smoke and dust billowed in.
