Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

After realizing that what the other party said was one or two million yuan, instead of a withdrawal of one hundred and eighty thousand as before, Zhang Yan's face was stunned for a moment, and then a look of joy suddenly appeared.

"One or two million yuan... Deheng, what do you want so much money for?"

"Could it be...?"

Looking at Ma Jun with some surprise and some expectation, before Zhang Yan could finish speaking, he saw the other party nodded with a smile on his face, and suddenly became ecstatic.

……

"exactly."

"My lord, you haven't come to my side these days, so it's normal not to know."

"After a period of study and experimentation, I finally understand the knowledge about artillery that you taught me."

"At least in terms of principles and mechanisms, I am confident that I have fully understood the contents of artillery."

"Well... how should I put it, relying on the power of the gunpowder explosion to heat the air, and then relying on the violently expanding air to push the projectile out of the barrel..."

"It's a very delicate design, it's simply ingenious, and I don't know who came up with such a good idea."

"However, now that we have figured out the principle, I believe that now is the time for preliminary practice."

I saw Ma Jun shaking his head and talking to Zhang Yan, and only at this time, Zhang Yan felt from him again the very familiar psychology of a young man's eagerness and desire to be praised.

But if what the other party said was true, not to mention verbal praise and praise, Zhang Yan really felt that he should reward the other party well.

"Deheng, are you kidding me?"

"The development of this artillery is no small matter. Have you really mastered all those things?"

He glanced at the other party in surprise, Zhang Yan didn't know whether to attribute this matter to the other party's intelligence or what, once this kind of knowledge that was very obscure to the ancients was in Ma Jun's hands, it was as easy as twisting flowers with ten fingers .

How long has it been?

Counting more than two months since he arrived in Lujiang, Ma Jun has already told himself that he understands the principle of artillery, and plans to apply for a fund with himself to trial-produce samples of artillery?

The respect for the ancients in his heart has been raised again. Zhang Yan only feels that since Ma Jun can learn the knowledge of later generations so quickly, he is like a ruthless person at the level of Crouching Dragon and Tsukatora. He can figure out the blockchain in a day. I am afraid that the principle is not really an exaggeration.

Beside him, seeing Zhang Yan's surprised expression, Ma Jun was secretly happy, so he held his head higher than before.

"My lord, what Jun said today is true, there is absolutely no falsehood."

"The reason why I applied for the fee to the lord is precisely because I plan to try to design and build a simple bronze cannon, so that I can know more details in practice."

"My lord, you have also seen what happened today. I have studied and developed the Zhentianlei in this city for several days. I thought it was already a very good product, but in the actual use process, there are still some deficiencies. "

"I believe that this is because General Xu Huang and others have really experienced the practice of fighting, but I just keep the battle on paper. This is the gap between practice and non-practice."

"In order to help the lord better, Jun today has the guts to ask for millions of copper coins to cast into cannons, and I hope the lord can do it!"

While talking loudly, Ma Jun stood up and bowed to Zhang Yan with his hands clasped in fists.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan bit his lip lightly. After a moment of silence, he made up his mind and agreed to this matter.

……

"Well, a million dollars, right? If you don't want to part with your child, you can't catch a wolf. In order to form a weapon with the surrounding forces, why not give you a million dollars today?"

"As the saying goes, no matter how poor you are, you can't be poor in science and technology, and you can't save money on weapons. Today I approved this million dollars for you. If you come to Lujiang, you will definitely be rewarded several times or even dozens of times in the future."

"Deheng, I agree with you!"

Pursing his lips and agreeing to the other party's request, Zhang Yan first got up and pulled the other party up, and then he seemed to be worried, and ordered softly:

"But Deheng, then again, we have to eat every bite, and we have to walk step by step."

"I'm naturally very happy that you can tell me about this today, and I hope you can achieve a good result."

"It's just that in terms of scientific research, the most taboo thing is to be eager for quick success and quick success, so you must pay attention, don't set yourself too high a goal at one time, take it step by step first, don't look at me worrying about this matter all day long, but even if you don't With the help of artillery, if we really compete with forces like Shanyue and Qingzhou Yellow Turban, we may not be afraid of them."

"Deheng, artillery is a weapon, there is no need for anything else. Presumably you have already discovered in the trial production of Zhentianlei that this firearm will cause great damage if you are not careful. You must pay attention to safety. This is the only thing I have for you. requirements."

"As for the weapons... don't force too much power and caliber, as long as you can use this money to build a cannon that doesn't blow up or run out, it's already a great success."

Gently patted the opponent's shoulder, it can be said that for Zhang Yan, artillery is important, but it is not one ten thousandth of Ma Jun's.

And Ma Jun was also a little moved when he heard the words, and then he set a goal for himself, and responded loudly to Zhang Yan:

"Here!"

"My lord, don't worry, give me some time, I will never let my lord down!"

Chapter 12 Moon Festival

Leisurely time always flies by quickly, and in the midst of such a busy schedule, the people of Lujiang ushered in the annual Moon Festival.

On Zhang Yan's side, in order to enhance the festive atmosphere and at the same time demonstrate the tranquility and harmony of Lujiang under his command, he issued an order as the prefect of Lujiang to advocate that all non-service industries in Lujiang should The common people do not have to work, but take a good rest and reunite with their relatives and friends.

At the same time, he even ordered a lantern show to be held in the streets and alleys of Wancheng for the common people and merchants to watch.

After this coming and going, under the feasting and feasting, Wancheng also had a festive atmosphere, and became more lively than usual.

……

"Hey, you guys, don't be distracted!"

"The vice-captain and I are in charge of patrolling this street. You can go to the side road over there, and the alleys next to the main road. Don't forget!"

"This is the first time we have canceled the curfew in Lujiang. The prefect said that if the effect is good this time, there will be no curfew in Wancheng during the New Year's Eve. This is a big deal!"

"I can tell you, don't blame me for saying ugly words first..."

"This gathering in Wancheng, our Public Security Bureau and several senior officials above are all watching. If something goes wrong, you don't want to eat this official food again in the future!"

……

On a brightly lit avenue in Wancheng, several officials wearing the official uniforms of the Lujiang Public Security Department are gathering together, and a middle-aged man is constantly giving lectures.

I saw them all holding spears in their hands and knives on their waists. They looked majestic and majestic, not much different from regular troops in other cities.

After hearing a burst of discussion from citizens behind him from time to time, the team leader who belonged to the Public Security Department suddenly raised his voice again.

……

"Remember, today is the first time Lujiang lifted the curfew. This is the order of the prefect Zhang. No matter which forces in Lujiang are behind you, you all know the consequences of offending the prefect!"

"Since the prefect entrusts us with the task of maintaining law and order at night, he trusts the ability of our security department. We must also go all out to meet the expectations of prefect Zhang. We must not let him feel regretful!"

"Do you understand everything!"

After shouting loudly, the team leader saw everyone nodded, and then, according to the plan in advance, he arranged the patrol and monitoring tasks for the few people present.

"Okay, all of you remember, our mission tonight is to protect the safety of all Lujiang people who travel at night, and at the same time prevent and punish all violations of laws and disciplines such as theft, robbery, and murder."

"Our team is in charge of the third part of the main road in Wancheng. From the hour of Xu to the third quarter of the hour of Hai, the security tasks will be handled by other teams after the third quarter of the hour of Hai, and we don't need to intervene."

"If you have any questions, please ask them quickly. If there are no questions, let's start patrolling in groups of two according to their respective tasks!"

……

Loudly issued orders to everyone, just as the team leader said, for the future economic development and progress of his territory, Zhang Yan not only held the lantern show at night this time, but also canceled the Lujiang Moon Festival The curfew policy during the period allowed people to take to the streets after dark, instead of returning home early to rest when the sun went down.

As we all know, in the Qin and Han Dynasties, in order to protect the lives and property of the people in their area, most cities except Luoyang would impose curfews at night. The development gradually improved, and finally a free system of no curfew during non-wartime was realized in the Ming Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that the curfew has now been lifted. This feeling is more or less curious about the big officials under Zhang Yan, or the citizens of Lujiang, or they are not used to it.

Now, in order to ensure the safety of the residents when the curfew is lifted, Zhang Yan naturally pulled out all the [-] public security bureau officials in his hands.

Just like what is happening on this street now, similar things are happening in all the streets in Wancheng at this moment.

While the officials of the public security department were gradually getting busy, Zhang Yan was wearing a regular uniform that he seldom had the opportunity to wear in the largest courtyard in Wancheng, without any official seal ribbon, and just accompanied him like this. Qiao Ying and the others drank the last sip of sweet-scented osmanthus wine in the cup, and then slipped out through the side door of the Qiao Mansion with a few people.

The moon has risen.

As if it was a signal, when the bright moonlight began to sprinkle on the earth, a large number of people who had worked hard all day began to walk out of their homes and walked onto the streets in groups, feeling the long-lost peaceful atmosphere.

At this moment, some of them were visiting friends' homes, some were wandering on the road with their families, and most of them walked towards the most prosperous street in Wancheng at the same time. The street where the light show is held.

It is said to be a lantern show, but it is not just a lantern show. On the busiest street in Wancheng, besides all kinds of lanterns, there are also many vendors on both sides of the road selling themselves to passers-by. of goods.

These goods are mainly simple snacks, and most of the rest are handicrafts such as small lanterns and round fans, which have attracted the attention of many people passing by.

Perhaps for Zhang Yan, such a scene is still somewhat crude after all.

Whether it's the festive atmosphere or some fun items on the lantern show, for him who was born in the afterlife, such scenes are not at all comparable to some festivals and celebrations in later generations.

It’s just that for the ordinary people in Lujiang, and those “Eastern Han people” who came from far away to do business and lived here because of various things, it’s like this kind of gathering to exhibit lanterns on a large scale, watch dragon dances, The sight of a lion dance performance was enough to cheer most of them up.

……

"General Xu, General Xu!"

"What are you looking at, come here quickly?"

"This is the first time I have participated in your Han people's festival. I may not have seen such a lively scene in our grasslands for several years. You have to introduce it to me!"

Among the crowd, a woman with the appearance of a barbarian was seen wearing Hanfu, and she greeted an extremely tall and mighty man with an extremely resolute appearance not far from her with a clever smile.

The other party has a hint of exoticism, facial features that are very rare in the Jiangnan area, and the youthful vigor that permeates her whole body, which made many Lujiang locals look sideways, and looked at her with a touch of goodwill The smile, obviously thought of something.

Beside her, Xu Huang rubbed his eyes at this moment, with a hint of suspicion on his face.

"Sarituya, wait a minute, there are many people here, don't get lost with me!"

Undoubtedly, the Hu man who appeared in Lujiang was none other than Sari Tuya, who was from the Yitu clan of the Southern Huns.

Because she had to take care of the horses along the way, after Xu Huang returned from buying horses in Bingzhou, she followed the trend to Lujiang County and temporarily lived in Wancheng.

But for some reason, now that these thousands of horses have been handed over to Zhang Yan's army as she wished, she still has no intention of leaving.

At this moment, Xu Huang first turned around and told her something, then rubbed his eyes again, looking at the somewhat familiar figure not far away, his expression became dazed.

"This is... my lord?"

"Uh, I read that right, my lord is here too?"

Not far in front of him was a young man in his twenties, dressed in a clean white robe, with a gentle smile on his face, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this man was his The lord Zhang Yan.

But today, Zhang Yan didn't go out in his iconic four-horse carriage, but just walked like this, taking a few girls for a walk on the streets of Wancheng.

……

"Uh, my lord seems to be quite busy, I think it's better not to bother me..."
