Husband has a sweetheart

When Zhang Yuqing was planning the iron mine, he marked out a piece of land next to the mine. After leveling the rocks, he built houses and factories for the use of miners and blacksmiths.

As the business grows bigger and the number of people grows, more and more houses are built here.

The young blacksmiths became more and more skilled after this period of training. Zhang Yuqing made two requests to the lead blacksmith after seeing a few weapons.

"I want to build a longbow that is as tall as a man and can be drawn with the strength of five hundred stones." Zhang Yuqing said.

The lead blacksmith smiled and said, "Madam, don't worry, this matter is easy to handle." It is nothing more than using more fine iron, forging and beating more.

When Zhong He, who was accompanying him, heard such a good bow, his eyes lit up instantly.

Madame must have made it for him.

"More than that, I want this bow to be detachable. After disassembly, it can be assembled into other inconspicuous things. After disassembly and assembly, it will be a strong bow with a range of several miles!" Zhang Yuqing said.

The leading blacksmith, in his thirties, did not agree, and said calmly, "Let's go back and discuss how to make this bow, and try to make a satisfactory bow for Madam!"

Zhang Yuqing took out a piece of paper from her sleeve pocket, on which was drawn a strange thing and a few lines of words, "There is one more thing."

"This is... a ballista? Can it fire at least fifteen beads in a row?" The blacksmith looked more and more frightened.

It is very difficult to build a ballista, not to mention a continuous firing ballista, they have never heard of such a thing.

Zhang Yuqing nodded, "It must be convenient and quick to change the crossbow and arrow box, without delaying things."

Relying on swords and guns alone is not enough to deter the enemy. What she wants is to make the enemy dare not enter within ten miles of the city.

Fang Mo followed Zhang Yuqing to make an inspection tour, and was speechless when he heard it. He sighed to Wang Chunniang: "Sister-in-law, why do you think Madam is so smart!"

He couldn't think of these things!
Wang Chunniang smiled without saying a word, her eyes were very proud.

Zhang Yuqing watched the blacksmiths pass the note around, showing distress, and said with relief: "Make a simple crossbow first, and gradually improve it a little bit, and you can always make what you want."

Many blacksmiths were selected from the army. They were originally soldiers. They saw the significance of this thing at a glance, and said excitedly, "We want to make such a good thing as soon as possible! If there are many of this thing, put it in On the battlefield, we don't need our Baochuan Army brothers to fight the Hu people, we can directly put the Hu people on the ground!"

"Yes, with this thing, the barbarians will have to stay on the grassland for the rest of their lives, not daring to take half a step into our big summer!"

"Let's see if they dare to grab our food and kill our people!"

Zhang Yuqing watched with a smile as the group of blacksmiths were discussing how to make the two things that Madam ordered.

Fang Mo accompanied Zhang Yuqing to watch it all morning, and now he finally got his chance, leaned over and asked, "Where is your lord? Didn't you come with me?"

"I'm busy with other affairs, so I can't take care of it." Zhang Yuqing said lightly.

Zhang Yuqing wandered around the iron mine for a few days, seeing that everything was fine and orderly, just when everyone thought she was going back home, she went to the saltworks again, summoned several workers from the saltworks, and provided craftwork The method took more than ten days of hard work to make a few boxes of soap, let everyone continue to make according to this method, and see if they can be sold to rich places to earn some money.

After leaving the salt field, Zhang Yuqing went to the surrounding countryside, and walked around the villages. Every time he came to a village, he dragged the local people to ask if there were any officials bullying the people, and what difficulties were there in life.

For a moment, all the officials in Baochuan tensed up, for fear that if they did something wrong, the common people would sue the Qilin Empress and be severely punished by the general.

After Zhang Yuqing's visit during this period of time, Baochuan's atmosphere has become more clear, and the image of Qilin Empress tolerant and benevolent has become more popular.

When the matter was reported to Lu Wei's desk, Lu Wei's teeth were itchy with hatred.

Alright, leave Baochuan City alone, run so far, wander around just not to go home, isn't it just to avoid him!
After staying outside for two months, spring went and summer came, the wheat turned yellow, and the summer crops would soon be harvested.

After several torrential rains, the Water Great Wall was filled with water, and there were no barbarians sneaking across the border to loot the people like in previous years.

Lu Wei's letter came to Zhang Yuqing again. After briefly talking about some things in the barracks, the conversation changed and said that the scorpion flower planted by Zhang Yuqing in spring by the wall had bloomed and covered the wall. If Zhang Yuqing set off now, hurry back It happened to be the peak flowering period of Ling Xiaohua when I was home.

The flowers on Moshang are blooming, and Qing can return slowly.

After Zhang Yuqing read it, she put down the letter calmly.

The handsome man in his twenties is between a teenager and a young man, with both the youthfulness of a teenager and the calmness of a youth.Zhang Yuqing could imagine that when Lu Wei wrote this letter, he thought over and over the words to write, his eyes were full of tender love, and he cherished her in his heart.

If she hadn't experienced all kinds of life and death before, and she hadn't been severely hurt by this world, she would be willing to respond to Lu Wei's pure and passionate feelings.Even knowing that he will not hug the pipa in the future, Zhang Yuqing is still willing to enjoy the present happiness.

But unfortunately there is no if in this world.

Wang Chunniang retched a few times on the road, throwing up whatever she ate. Zhang Yuqing checked the doctor's pulse and found out that she was pregnant for three months.

Now Zhang Yuqing didn't dare to be careless, and hurried back to Baochuan with Wang Chunniang.

The mansion was still as it was when she left, not a single speck of dust, apparently someone often came to clean it up.

There are a few sporadically blooming Lingxiao flowers by the wall, and the bright red ones are hanging on the branches.

"It's a lie again!" Zhang Yuqing sneered, it's not the blooming season!In order to coax her to come back quickly, Lu Wei has learned to fool people.

Zhong Heniang ran in from the outside quickly, and said in a hurry, "Ma'am, it's not good, the son of the ruling family is here, and he has caught Steward Du!"

"What's going on? Tell me carefully!" Zhang Yuqing was startled and asked immediately.

It turned out that Shen Menglong followed the officials to Baochuan to read his father Shen Shoushan's order, and even asked him to find Du Jingyi, yelling that Du Jingyi was his family's escaped slave, and wanted to take Du Jingyi back to Liangzhou City.

Fortunately, none of their subordinates were vegetarians, so they stopped Shen Menglong and didn't tell him to really take them out of Baochuan.

Zhang Yuqing knew in her heart that Du Jingyi had betrayed Shen Menglong, and that Miss Du, whom Shen Menglong had been using to hold Du Jingyi hostage, disappeared in Shen's residence inexplicably. Shen Menglong might not have guessed that Du Jingyi's siblings were all in Baochuan.

The reason why Shen's father and son have been holding back is probably because they are waiting for an opportunity.

At the beginning of spring, they found an excuse to transfer Lu Wei away from Baochuan, giving the Hu people a chance to attack Baochuan. Lu Wei openly disobeyed the military order to save Baochuan, but it was a pity that God was on Lu Wei's side. Baochuan not only defended, Lu Wei also beheaded the prince of the barbarian. This overwhelming contribution blocked Youyou's mouth and made Shen's father and son's plan come to nothing.

But then Shen Shoushan reprimanded Lu Wei and ordered Lu Wei not to enter the barracks for one month.

Now that Shen Menglong has followed, he must have a new trick and is about to turn his back on him.

Zhang Yuqing's carriage arrived at a teahouse in Baochuan. Before the carriage stopped, Zhang Yuqing immediately jumped out of the carriage and rushed into the teahouse.

Almost all the customers drinking tea in the teahouse had left, the first floor was empty, and the shopkeeper and the servants were hiding far away, not daring to make a sound.

Shen Menglong was wearing a white silk gown, a white jade crown on his head, and a gold-rimmed folding fan in his hand. He was sitting at the table in the middle sipping tea. From a distance, he looked quite romantic and suave.

Du Jingyi was escorted by several guards and stood in front of Shen Menglong.The people on their side stood guard at the door, determined not to let Shen Menglong go out.

Seeing Zhang Yuqing approaching, she made way for the guards surrounding the door.

"Hey! Mrs. Lu is here! What a coincidence!" Shen Menglong put down the teacup with a smile, looked Zhang Yuqing up and down, feeling that Lu Wei is really blessed!

But it doesn't matter, when their father and son finish taking care of Lu Wei, such a beautiful Mrs. Lu will be his.

Zhang Yuqing didn't give Shen Menglong a look, and went straight to Du Jingyi, and asked with a sullen face, "What's going on?"

Seeing Zhang Yuqing's attitude, Du Jingyi felt confident.

Someone asked him to come to the teahouse to discuss big business, and he was not a person who trusts others, he brought a lot of servants and guards, but unexpectedly, the one he saw when he came in was Shen Menglong.

Du Jingyi knew that she had a low life, and that Shen Menglong was the son of the ruling family. Zhang Yuqing and Lu Wei might not be willing to directly tear themselves apart with Shen Shoushan because of him.

When he was captured by Shen Menglong's guards, he was already prepared for the worst.

He had betrayed Shen Menglong and knew many shady secrets of the Shen family. Shen Menglong would not let him live.As long as Zhang Yuqing is willing to take care of his sister and save her life, he will die without regret.

But when Zhang Yuqing thought Shen Menglong was air, Du Jingyi knew it.

Zhang Yuqing will not treat him as an abandoned son.

Du Jingyi put on his trademark smile again, and said, "Actually..."

"Forget it, don't talk about it, anyway, that's what happened, you can guess it." Zhang Yuqing waved his hand, looked around Du Jingyi's face, frowned and said, "You were beaten?"

Du Jingyi pointed at Shen Menglong and said, "This guy beat me."

Zhang Yuqing waved at the people at the door, and more than 30 strong men rushed forward and rescued Du Jingyi from the guards of the Shen family.

Annoyed, Shen Menglong patted the table and shouted: "Mrs. Lu, you are too deceitful! This person is my family's escaped slave, and I have been unable to find him. I never thought he would hide in your Baochuan. Return this person to me quickly. Also, If you don’t give me a reasonable explanation, this matter will never end!”

"You hit him just now?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Shen Menglong was choked, and said with a sneer: "He is my escaped slave, what's wrong with me beating him?"

Zhang Yuqing looked back at Du Jingyi's face, looked up and down Shen Menglong, as if looking for something, suddenly stretched out her hand, and slapped Shen Menglong's face.
