Three Kingdoms, I open a tavern in Xudu

After distributing the gifts, the children were finally willing to let Mi Zhu go, and then ran to the side to play.

Fortunately, Sui'er and the others haven't grown up yet, otherwise this group of brats would be even more lively.

"Zizhong, next time you come, you don't need to bring any gifts."

Zhang Chunhua watched them play a little crazy.

"It's nothing, the child likes it, it's more important than anything else."

Mi Zhu smiled and said: "After a while, I will have to move to Chang'an. The Western Regions are basically stable. If there is anything to do, I can hand it over to the people below. In the future, we will take care of each other in Chang'an."

Shu'er ran over and asked in surprise, "Uncle, is it true?"

Mi Zhu nodded and said, "Of course it's true."

Shu'er laughed happily, and then played with Ru'er.

This girl was very quiet at the beginning, but she became more and more lively when she grew up.

"Slow down!"

Mi Zhen had to remind her.

Chen Yang looked at them with a happy face, and said: "Zi Zhong, come into the house quickly, you have been here for so long, and you have been standing outside without reminding me, Lao Fang is ready for tea."

Because of Mi Zhu's arrival, the somewhat empty palace in Chang'an suddenly became a little more lively.

Chen Yang and the others are already living in the palace. Anyway, there are ready-made palaces and houses here. After a simple repair, they can be used normally. There is no need to build another mansion or expropriate other people's mansion.

In the future, he will have to live in sooner or later.

Time passed quickly, and another few days passed.

The Dawan war horses that Mi Zhu had prepared were also sent from the Western Regions, not the [-] horses he had just mentioned, but [-] horses.

All the war horses were already in Chang'an's barracks. They were tall and majestic, and many generals didn't blink their eyes.

Guan Yu is lucky to have a red rabbit horse. People like Wei Yan, Wenpin, and even Zhao Yun have not yet had a batch of decent war horses, and they are all very excited at this moment.

"My lord, can we have one of these horses?"

Ye Shun couldn't help asking first.

"I want one too, but it's used to form cavalry, and the group is incomplete without a horse, so let's forget it."

Wenpin said expectantly, and soon overturned his own thoughts.

"I've prepared your war horses, Zizhong, let someone bring them out."

Chen Yang knew they wanted it too, so why didn't he prepare in advance.

Mi Zhu clapped his hands with a smile, and a soldier appeared in front of them pulling a taller horse.

"My lord, are these all for us?"

Huang Zhong looked at the horse in front of him in surprise, he had never seen such a tall, majestic horse in his many years of military service.

"That's right, share it with you. This is Dawan's hard-earned horse, even more precious than ordinary ones."

Chen Yang gave a brief introduction.

Wei Yan touched the horse first, the horse should have just run, his hands were covered with red sweat, exclaimed: "This sweat is red, it's really a sweat horse, this is amazing, no, I have to Give it a try first."

The saddle and other things have not been hung up yet, but Wei Yan can't control that much, his riding skills are also good, he got on the horse, and started to run as soon as he lifted the rein.

That sweaty BMW is really not comparable to ordinary horses, it runs so fast that everyone can only see a series of shadows.

"I don't know who is more powerful than my red rabbit horse."

Guan Yu said in admiration.

"Yunchang's red rabbit horse is also a famous horse, so there is absolutely no need for these horses."

Chen Yang said: "I saw that Yunchang had Chitu, so I didn't prepare another bloody BMW. If you need it, you can ask me, and you can stop it at any time."

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "I, the red rabbit horse, was given to me by my lord from Lv Bu. It's enough. Don't dare to think about it any more."

After a while, Wei Yan, who was going to test the horse, finally came back and pulled the reins. The speed was too fast. He didn't have a saddle and stirrups, so he almost fell off the horse's back. gone."

"Thank you, my lord, for giving me the horse!"

They spoke in unison again.

"It's useless to thank me, this is given to you by Zizhong, and I don't need a copper coin."

As soon as Chen Yang finished speaking, they all laughed happily, so they had no choice but to say their thanks to Mi Zhu.

"I'm in the Western Regions. There are not many things, but there are more horses. Not to mention this bloody horse, I can get some more."

Mi Zhu said confidently.

After trying all the horses, they first put saddles and iron hooves on the horses, let them adapt for a period of time, and then they can go to the battlefield.

Then, they went back to Chang'an happily.

However, Chen Yang didn't go back with them, he went to the weapons factory first, where the people were rushing to produce crossbows, firearms and other things.

"My lord, you are here!"

As soon as Ma Jun raised his head, he saw Chen Yang walking over.

"Take me to see how our new weapons are doing."

Chen Yang said.

Soon, they came to the farther north of the factory, where there was a huge furnace, the coal below was burning hot, and molten steel was pouring out continuously.

Those steel blocks are slowly formed, and will eventually be forged into a handful of weapons.

This is the place where steel is made. There happened to be a coal mine in the north of Chang'an. Chen Yang excavated it and used it. Then he bought iron ore in the Western Regions through Mizhu, and came back here to smelt weapons.

He wants to compete for the world, and he doesn't have enough advantages, so let's start with weapons.

After walking inside, Ma Jun asked someone to bring a long knife that had just been forged, and raised it to Chen Yang with both hands.

Taking it over for a look, Chen Yang found that the knife was quite heavy, which met his requirements.

"Bring other weapons here, I want to try the sharpness."

Chen Yang said loudly.

Soon someone brought an ordinary long knife and put it in front of him.

Chen Yang raised his hand and slashed at the ordinary long knife.

Clang!

A crisp sound sounded, and the ordinary knife broke directly.

Looking at the steel knife again, there is not even a gap, it is very hard and sharp.

Chen Yang nodded and said: "Good job, you first use these steels to make a sword for me and Old Wang, and then send someone to tell Zilong and others that anyone who needs to make new weapons will come to you."

Ma Jun said again: "My lord, the new artillery you mentioned, we have made similar ones, but we haven't tried it, so we don't know if it will work or not."

"Already almost?"

Chen Yang's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Take me to see it."

In the northernmost part of the steelmaking plant, there is another factory, which is blocked by tall and thick walls, and ordinary people cannot enter.

Chen Yang followed Ma Jun here, and just as he entered, he saw a tall cannon standing in front of him.

"My lord, according to what you thought at the beginning, try to make it as small as possible, but we can't do it with our current technology, so we can only make it bigger."

Ma Jun pointed at the cannon, which was bigger than the previous Hongyi cannon.

This artillery, known as the Krupp cannon in later generations, is a German thing. It was purchased in large quantities in the late Qing Dynasty to defend against foreign enemies, but it was still defeated.

Chen Yang asked Ma Jun and the others to try to build it according to the structure of the Krupp cannon. The barrel of the cannon is all steel, so there is this place.
