My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 273 Inventor, Move the Capital (1+1)

The first day of February is also the last rain and snow of this winter.

Although it was raining lightly and the wind was blowing cold, the weather like this was considered good compared to the previous days of heavy snowfall.

The farmers who woke up in the morning lined up in an orderly manner at the entrance of the cafeteria, and the cooks enthusiastically served stomach-warming food.

With the supplement of 20 shi of grain, the development of Anyi County has no worries.

The food in the cafeteria gradually began to increase. This morning, it was porridge with broth, and fresh and crispy kimchi.

Wei Yan was also sitting in the corner of the cafeteria, enjoying the delicious food, and Wei Yan and Xu Ding were sitting opposite.

The reason why I had dinner in the satellite city this morning was mainly for an important project.

"Second Uncle, road construction is imminent. You saw it this morning. As long as it rains and snows, those dirt roads will become muddy and potholed. It is really inconvenient to walk on." Wei Cheng swallowed the kimchi in his mouth and said .

Wei Min nodded slightly. These roads outside the city really need to be repaired. Before, there was not enough manpower, but now there is a surplus of population and enough food to hire people. It is not easy.

Wei Cheng looked at Xu Ding again, and suggested: "As for the deployment of personnel, you should discuss with a few stewards. The construction of the water truck irrigation system is imminent. If manpower is really needed, people from the city guard army can also be temporarily transferred. .”

Xu Ding replied with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, I have already told several stewards that after breakfast, the stewards of satellite cities on the [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th will bring people over, and there will be water trucks provided by you." With the help of the drawings, there is no problem in catching up with the spring plowing."

The seventh satellite city is populated by masons, the eighth is a carpenter, and the ninth is a mason. Wei Cheng wants to build waterwheels and irrigation canals, and these three professions are indispensable.

Fortunately, for the first five-year plan, Wei Cheng had asked people to continuously recruit skilled craftsmen from all over the country. Now that everything is ready and there is enough food and grass, there is nothing that cannot be done.

This is Wei Cheng's style of doing things, constantly accumulating strength and waiting for the time to come.

After the three of them had breakfast, they visited several satellite cities and guided their work.

This is the same as many local leaders in later generations. Why do leaders always go down to the grassroots from time to time?To be honest, it's really not to buy people's hearts to earn fame, but to really worry about the grassroots.

You never know how outrageous the direction the people below can take things for you if they misunderstand a little bit.

Therefore, a responsible leader should go to the grassroots from time to time, so that the work can be carried out in order to move forward.

When Sishi is approaching.

The three of them walked to No. [-] satellite city, which was the entrance of the workshop specializing in the textile industry.

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard Yingying Yanyan's laughter coming from inside. Because of professional needs, the No. [-] satellite city is mainly female workers.

In the era of war and chaos, there were many widowed women. The men in the family died on the battlefield, or were forcibly conscripted as civilian husbands, and many of them never returned.

"I have seen the second master, I have seen the second master." The steward of the No. [-] satellite city is a nun of the Wei family, who is proficient in weaving and embroidery.

For this nanny, Wei Min was very respectful and always referred to her as 'Mum Mu'.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Wei Cheng knew that after Wei Min was born, his grandmother was in poor health and had no milk. Too much.

"Mum, what's going on inside, why is it so noisy?" Wei Yan asked curiously, pointing to the inner courtyard.

The mother smiled and said, "It's not noisy, it's the girl from Mr. Huang's family who's here, and she's helping the girls remodel the loom."

"Oh?"

Wei Cheng's expression changed, he exchanged a glance with his second uncle, and walked towards the inner courtyard.

Seeing this, Mammy hurriedly asked the people beside her to lead the way, and at the same time told the girls in the inner courtyard to restrain themselves a little.

After entering the inner courtyard, he saw a group of women surrounding a loom. Huang Yueying, who had a slightly sallow complexion, was crouching under the loom and fiddling with something.

After two months of recuperation, now Huang Yueying has the courage to face up to her illness. She was very bored, so she followed her father to learn mechanism skills, and recently she directly started working on Wei Cheng's loom.

While remodeling, Huang Yueying instructed the female worker next to her, and said, "In the future, fish oil should be applied frequently here, otherwise the pedal will be stepped on too many times, and this position will easily get stuck... Huh?"

Seeing that she had found him, Wei Cheng made a hissing gesture to her, motioning her to continue.

Huang Yueying froze for a moment, and felt a little embarrassed.

After all, this loom is already a product of Wei Cheng's "transformation", and its production efficiency has been improved by more than dozens of times compared with the previous pedal loom. Looking at Wei Cheng's own face, he was somewhat Meng Lang.

Wei Cheng didn't take it seriously, but was very happy to see such a scene.

His so-called 'renovation and upgrading' is actually to copy the blueprints on the Internet, so that the Song Dynasty looms made by the headband carpenters are naturally more efficient than the looms of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

But after all, it was a product of hundreds of years, and he thought he didn't have the talent to increase his production capacity on this basis.

But Huang Yueying, as expected of Huang Chengyan's daughter, actually upgraded the loom on the basis of the Song Dynasty.

After listening to Huang Yueying's description, Wei Cheng nodded sincerely. After her simple modification, the loom's production capacity has indeed increased. Although it is not much, it is already very rare.

The three of Wei Cheng didn't stay here for a long time, they were all women after all, it's not good for them three big men to stay for a long time.

Walking out of the No. [-] satellite city, Wei Cheng asked Xu Ding to record today's events, write an article, and publish it later on the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List", focusing on affirming and commending Huang Yueying's behavior.

Xu Ding nodded thoughtfully. As the head of internal affairs and the person who followed Wei Cheng first, he has been able to follow Wei Cheng's brain circuit in time.

Wei Yan guessed: "Is Cheng'er trying to encourage everyone to innovate?"

Wei Cheng smiled noncommittally and said: "That's right, my second uncle also saw it just now, just a small change can improve the efficiency of the loom's cloth output. Although it doesn't look like much, if there are enough For looms, the increase in output in just one day is not a small amount."

Wei Yan habitually squinted his eyes, crossed his arms around his chest, dragged his chin with one hand, stroked his beard, nodded and said: "That's true, if one loom produces half a foot more cloth, one hundred looms is fifty feet, fifty feet a day, a year... tsk tsk tsk."

Wei Cheng chuckled, and replied: "That's right, the principle of weaving is the same, and the same is true for other things, ranging from mining and transportation, to weeding and plowing, these are places where production efficiency can be improved. As long as there is a little innovation, It’s all good for us.”

···
So another two days passed.

This day is also the day when "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List" is published.

Xu Ding's writing was good, and with Wei Cheng's instructions, Huang Yueying's article on improving the loom took up a lot of space.

Xu Ding even asked the artist to add an illustration.

On the screen, Huang Yueying is standing next to a loom, holding a piece of cloth in her hand, and is instructing with the embroidery girl next to her.

"Hahaha, this picture is not bad!"

Huang Chengyan was eating at home, and was very happy to see his daughter on the "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List".

Huang Yueying, who was sitting across from her, was blushing. It was only just now that she knew that she had been included in this issue of "Big Han Dragon and Tiger List" and it only took up such a large space, which was even larger than the previous "Hedong Grain Famine".

The larger the length, it proves that Wei Cheng is more concerned about this matter.

Of course, the Huang family's father and daughter would not think that Wei Cheng was tempted by Huang Yueying, they were showing affection to Huang Yueying.

After reading the article, Huang Chengyan said in agreement: "Although this boy acts differently, he often makes people shine. It is true. It seems that it is only a small improvement, but the impact on the entire industry cannot be underestimated. You can reach a thousand miles without accumulating a single step, and you are helping him to take that step, so it is understandable for him to praise you so much."

"Father, don't talk about me."

Huang Yueying knew that she was worth a lot. Compared with the loom "developed" by Wei Cheng, what she did was at best the icing on the cake.

Wei Cheng herself didn't praise herself that much, but instead pushed herself to the front of the stage, which made her very ashamed.

As if he could see what his daughter was thinking, Huang Chengyan smiled and comforted him: "Silly girl, don't really think that he is flattering you. Think about it carefully. After this article is published, who will really benefit from it?"

Huang Yueying first instinctively pointed at herself, after all, she had become famous.

The ancients paid the most attention to fame, and women are no exception.

But she thought about it, no, the one who really benefited... was him!
Huang Chengyan laughed and said: "You, help him set a precedent. After you, there will definitely be more and more people involved in this matter. Maybe increase the production of food, maybe transform better utensils, In short, he is the one who benefits, of course, on a larger scale, the real benefit is the common people in this world."

"It's true what Daddy said." Huang Yueying nodded slightly, with a hint of a smile on her lips.

The father and daughter had breakfast.

Huang Chengyan went to Heluo College to attend classes on time.

Huang Yueying is extremely bored at home, and usually goes to Heluo College to help out, but today she has a new place to go.

"It would be great if I could be on the Dragon and Tiger List again. Today, I will go to the No. [-] Satellite City and talk to Old Man Mu..."

In this way, Huang Yueying was obsessed with invention and creation and couldn't extricate herself.

···
Weifu.

Wei Cheng saw Wei Gong, Huang Zhong and his party who had returned from the journey.

Zhang Fei was sitting on the futon, telling vividly what happened and what he saw along the way.

Knowing that they went after Cao Cao, Wei Cheng shook his head amusedly, but he didn't feel anything, anyway, Cao thief asked for trouble.

Wei Gong said: "Second brother, did Lu Zhonglang find it?"

Wei Cheng was stunned, and looked at Tai Shici who was sitting behind Huang Zhong. Wei Cheng smiled kindly at this equally handsome archer.

The addition of Tai Shici is very important to his subsequent layout.

Shaking his head, Wei Cheng casually said, "I'm afraid Lu Bu won't be able to get away for a while."

Wei Cheng briefly talked about the previous food shortage and the fact that Dong Zhuo had been forced to send food, and several people were amazed when they heard it.

Wei Gong looked at Wei Cheng admiringly, and replied with a smile: "In this way, I really can't get away to pursue Ziyi, but I don't know if Dong Zhuo is in such a hurry to recall Lu Bu, is there something ulterior? attempt."

"You don't know how to worry about this."

Wei Cheng put the teapot aside, took a piece of information from a low table beside him, and said: "The day before yesterday, Lao Taishan sent a letter saying that Dong Zhuo wanted to move the capital to Chang'an. Many people escaped."

Wei Gong took the general overview, frowned and said: "This Dong Zhuo is really rebellious, he dared to move the capital to such a big matter... Wait, Wang Yun actually agreed?"

Wei Gong frowned, looked up at Wei Cheng, "Second brother, why did Wang Yun and Dong Zhuo get along with each other?"

Wei Cheng was holding a teacup and sniffing lightly. Hearing the words, he said with a smile, "It's not considered to be a gangster, but it's just a temporary bondage of interests. Think about it, if Dong Zhuo doesn't move the capital, when the Dong Zhuo Alliance enters Luodu, the king will be defeated." Is this Situ doing well?"

"Just three days ago, news came from Wen Ruo in Jingzhou that Sun Jian had officially announced his determination to join the League of Disputers. Liu Biao couldn't hold back Sun Jian's offensive going north, and Liu Xuande was fighting him for territory. .”

With that said, Wei Cheng took another piece of information and handed it to Wei Gong, which was sent by Xun Yu from Jingzhou. Even if the rider rushed to deliver it, it would have been three days before the information was delivered to Wei Cheng.

Wei Gong read it in detail, suddenly realized, and said with a smile on his face: "From this point of view, Dong Zhuo's move to Chang'an is also a helpless move. After Lu Bu returns, in all likelihood, he will be arranged to help Liu Biao. Otherwise, wait for Sun Jian to go north. And Yuan Shao personally led the campaign against Dong Lian, under the attack of the two sides, Dong Zhuo may die soon, hahaha."

After a pause, Wei Gong suddenly straightened his face.

Wei Cheng looked at him curiously.

Wei Gong breathed a little and said, "Second brother, should we take this opportunity to take down Luodu?"

The voice just fell.

Wei Cheng obviously felt that apart from himself, the eyes and postures of several people present became sharper.

Zhang Fei even stood up, bowed and cupped his fists and said, "Young master, I, Zhang Fei, would like to do the work of a dog and a horse."

Wei Cheng clenched his hand holding the teacup slightly. This time he didn't refuse immediately, but was weighing the pros and cons.

After a long time, Wei Cheng let out a breath.

He shook his head and said, "Don't mention this matter again."

Wei Gong and the others looked at each other, a little disappointed. In their view, the opportunity was rare, and they didn't know why Wei Cheng refused.

But Wei Cheng has his own rhythm, and a real superior will not change his mind easily.

"By the way, Second Brother, this time Uncle Han and Brother Ziyi have made meritorious service in killing the enemy. According to the rules of our city guards, meritorious service has always been rewarded. I would like to ask Second Brother to make an exception and recruit Brother Ziyi as Longshan General. The Heavenly Gang Divine Soldier... a Wind Dragon Musket."

It seemed that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, so Emiya hurriedly changed the subject.

Wei Cheng nodded towards Wei Gong in satisfaction, and looked at Tai Shi Ci behind Huang Zhong.
