After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Li Chenan took over the fish scale armor.

Press your hands!

It is at least five times heavier than the previous one!
"Get the Hundred Refinements Sword!"

"it is good!"

Peng Dachui took out a Bailian Dao from the shelf.

Li Chenan put the light fish scale armor on a wooden figure and thought for a while, "Come and give it a try."

"Strike with all your strength!"

"it is good!"

Peng Dachui was not worried. It was obvious that he was extremely confident in the fish scale armor he had built.

Even if it is very thin, he still firmly believes that the defensive capabilities of this armor that he forged with hundreds of forging methods and improved with thousands of hammers are unrivaled in the world!
The Bailian Dao is very sharp.

Its sharpness is unrivaled in the world.

So which one is more powerful, the sword or the armor?

A group of craftsmen gathered around.

Peng Dachui is their leader, appointed by the Minister of Industry. I heard that as long as the fish scale armor he forged catches the eye of the emperor, he will become the first person to become a national official as a craftsman!

Very few craftsmen have seen the emperor.

The emperor is here, now is the time to test this fish scale armor.

If it passed... many craftsmen suddenly became excited. After all, that identity was something they had never dared to imagine before.

Peng Dachui held the Hundred Refined Sword in his hand and stood in front of the wooden man wearing armor.

He was still very calm.

He took a deep breath, the muscles in his arms bulging.

He waved the knife!

"Hey...!"

With a loud roar, he slashed diagonally at the wooden man wearing armor with all his strength!

"boom……!"

The wooden man who was originally fixed on the stone pier was chopped away by this knife, and with another "Bang!", the wooden man hit the wall hard.

A craftsman ran over quickly, picked up the wooden man, took a closer look, and was immediately overjoyed:

"Tou Peng, the armor is not broken, only a few marks!"

"emperor……"

He ran over with the wooden figure in his arms, and a guy knelt in front of Li Chenan: "Please take a look at it, your Majesty!"

Peng Dachui was immediately stunned.

He looked at Li Chenan with wide eyes, "...No, isn't your lord, Imperial City Secretary Lin Linqi, a secret agent?"

Huang Xiumu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry on the side, grinned:
"Sledgehammer, you haven't met the emperor yet!"

Peng Dachui panicked.

He never expected that the easy-going man who came to the slums and stewed a pot of dog meat in his house would be the current emperor!
Peng Dachui quickly threw the knife and knelt in front of Li Chenan with a "pop" and said in panic:

"You villain, you villain have blind eyes and don't recognize the Emperor. Please forgive me!"

Li Chenan grinned, bent down, and helped Peng Dachui and the craftsman next to him up.

"Not only are you not guilty,"

Li Chenan looked at the fish scale armor on the wooden figure and touched it carefully. There was only a slight knife mark.

The Hundred Refined Sword did not break through the fish scale armor...

"You have great achievements!"

"From now on, I announce that the Armor Forging Department has been officially established!"

"I appoint Peng Dachui as the first Chief of the Armor Forging Department!"

"Affiliated to the Ministry of Industry, with a fifth rank, and a monthly salary of ten taels of silver!"

All the craftsmen were stunned.

What was once a rumor turned out to be true!
Peng Tou'er really became an official of the Ministry of Industry with this skill, and he was still a fifth-rank official!

A monthly salary of ten taels of silver... This, this treatment is really good!

Peng Dachui was also in disbelief at this time. He looked at Li Chenan dumbfounded, and his mind was in a state of confusion at this moment.

Huang Xiumu took a look and quickly reminded:
"Sledgehammer, why don't you thank me?"

Peng Dachui was about to kneel down again, but Li Chenan reached out to stop him.

"No need to thank me!" "This is your ability. I once said that as long as you have ability, you are a talent!"

He glanced at the craftsmen and said loudly:

"What is most important to Ningguo now and even in the future?"

"Talent!"

"The so-called talents are not just scholars."

"Those who are unique and innovative in their respective fields are all talents!"

"You... after the construction of the Academy of Sciences is completed, Huang Shangshu will personally assess you. Those with excellent skills... can join the Ministry of Industry."

He looked at Peng Dachui again, "Master Peng,"

Peng Dachui was startled. He was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by Li Chenan again:
"The Academy of Sciences is not a forging workshop in the true sense, but now that matters are urgent, the Armor Forging Department will go all out to create this fish scale armor after the New Year..."

"Next year, as the Sizheng of the Armor Forging Department, I want you to set up an armor forging workshop in an important border town in Ningguo next year."

"The fish scale armor must be equipped with the entire Ningguo army as soon as possible!"

Peng Dachui was entrusted with an important task by Li Chenan, and he suddenly felt proud of being valued.

This was something he never had when he was in Huihe.

He quickly bowed and said, "I obey my orders!"

Li Chenan patted his shoulder affectionately and picked up the thin fish scale armor:

"I like it very much. If I go on a personal expedition, I will definitely wear this armor to fight against the enemy!"

After saying this, he turned and left.

After leaving the gate of the Materials Research Institute, I suddenly heard cheers like a mountain roaring and a tsunami coming from the door.

That was the craftsmen celebrating Peng Dachui.

It’s also a celebration of their future.

……

……

Back at the Hot Spring Villa, just as I was hanging the fish scale armor in the study, a maid hurried over with someone in tow.

He is Zheng Wang, the commander-in-chief of MI1!

Zheng Wang bowed and stood in front of him and handed Li Chenan three notes:

"Your Majesty, please take a look at the news about Yong'an City that was sent back by the three carrier pigeons."

Li Chenan frowned slightly and took the note.

Even though he was busy at the Academy of Sciences these days, the rebellion in Hexi Prefecture was always on his mind.

Although many arrangements have been made, such arrangements are still being made.

The battlefield will not necessarily proceed according to the deduction.

There are many variables on the battlefield.

How about the final redress... He, Li Chenan, is not a god, and he cannot predict it.

Finally the news came from over there.

This is a piece of paper three fingers wide. Open the top one and take a look:
"Fortunately, the army behind the city lived up to its orders, and I recaptured Yong'an City on the night of December 17th."

"All the Taiping thieves were captured and no one slipped through the net."

"The three leaders of the thieves have sent Bu Jinghong and his colleagues from the Imperial City Division to escort them to the capital to let the emperor do whatever he wants."

"There are more than 10,000 remaining thieves. I am good at making decisions and will temporarily take them to Youdu County to build customs defenses."

"Your Majesty, Qin Rigang."

Li Chenan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little surprised, because to seize Yong'an City with the strength of the city-backing army... This seemed impossible to him!
The army behind the city has become so powerful in just over four months?
Or are the Taiping thieves too weak?

But Beimo Dao Shangdaotai said in the excerpt that the Taiping rebels were based on people from the Jianghu of the Great Banner Gang outside the Pass, saying that their fighting power was extremely powerful...

Could it be that Shang Yuan is exaggerating?

If so, we should be recalled to Kyoto and held accountable!
Then he looked at the second note, also written by Qin Rigang:
"In this battle, Yuehong, the wife of Zhuge Buliang, the magistrate of Youdu County, played the most important role!"

"She single-handedly poisoned all the rebels. My army behind the city easily won without losing a single soldier."

"On behalf of the 40,000 soldiers of the army behind the city, I would like to ask the emperor for a reward for the red moon!"

"All the troops carrying the city, please bow to your Majesty and express your gratitude!"

Li Chenan suddenly realized it, and then he was surprised again——

Zhuge Buliang actually got married? (End of chapter)
