The Battle of Princes Worldwide Online

Chapter 30 The Arrival of Xiao Wenhou

Today, Lucheng was dealing with official business, and the soft voices of Lin Wei and Xiao Di came to mind from time to time outside.

After two days, the spirit tree planted outside the flower hall finally germinated. Since the spirit tree can be crowned with the word "spirit" by the system, it is naturally somewhat extraordinary.

Lucheng had inspected it before, and although this spirit tree was only sprouting, it could be seen that it was extraordinary only from the branches and leaves.

The branches and leaves are full of emerald green, and there is a hint of spiritual light faintly. It is no wonder that the two were surprised by this scene. Lucheng was also amazed when they first saw it.

Listening to the sound outside, Lucheng put down the document in his hand. There was a document about the iron smelting workshop that attracted Lucheng's attention.

In Wuyang City, there was originally only one iron smelting workshop, but now it is not enough, so the iron smelting department plans to expand the scale.

The current iron smelting workshop has been able to create some basic agricultural tools, and gradually began to develop weapons, such as arrows, spears, and short swords, but the quality is not as good as the ordinary ones in the market. Even worse, it can only be used for normal training, but it is still the first step.

Equipment independence is a long-term plan, and since the iron smelting department intends to start to go to this point, Lucheng will definitely support it.

But this involves iron ore resources, so Lucheng is also a little hesitant about the expansion plan of the Iron Smelting Division.

The Sichuan Basin is rich in mineral resources, many of which rank among the top in the country, including iron ore.

And because the area has doubled, some of the previously inconspicuous small mines have also become large mines, and even an open-pit mine was discovered next to Wuyang City.

It's just that Lucheng can't decide whether to spare manpower to mine. Now the whole Wuyang City is in a time of employing people everywhere. If manpower is mobilized here, other places will be tense.

After hesitating for a moment in the study, Lu Cheng finally signed the document.

In Lucheng's mind, the iron smelting department is at the same level as the agriculture department, and they are the two most important departments among all the department-level units in Wuyang City.

One involves the food and clothing of the military and civilians, and the other involves weapons, equipment and farm tools, both of which are real power departments.

Lucheng also doesn't want to discourage their enthusiasm.

After making up his mind, Lucheng handed over the documents to the office, and the office issued notices one by one.

This matter is settled.

Just as he was about to get up from the study, it was Liu Hu who came in at this moment and said, "My lord, there is a man named Lu Fang outside the city who said he wanted to see you."

"Lu Fang is here?" Lu Cheng stood up from his chair, surprised.

After a lot of waiting, this Lu Fang finally came, a few days later than the system expected.

After ordering Liu Hu, Lu Cheng went to the meeting hall alone to wait.

Soon, Lucheng saw the second general he had summoned.

Different from Guan Hai and Leng Tianlu, this Lu Fang is quite handsome, wearing a red brocade robe, with jade hairpins on his hair, a dignified body, and a dignified appearance. gas.

Although he was a general summoned by himself, Lucheng did not hold him back, and greeted him with a smile.

"The last general, Lu Fang, pays his respects to the lord." At this time, Lu Fang also saw Lucheng sitting on the main seat.

I quickly knelt down to pay my respects.

"General Lu, please get up!"

Lu Cheng also laughed and helped him up, and greeted Lu Fang to sit down. At this moment, remembering the estimated time prompted by the system, he couldn't help asking: "General Lu, is something delayed?"

"Forgive me, my lord. This is not the general's intention. It's just that the general encountered a man who claimed to be King Wen of the Kingdom of Heaven in Nan'an County...solicited him, and the process was delayed for some time."

After Lu Fang finished speaking, he was a little embarrassed, but some details were omitted.

"Oh? He claims to be King Wen of the Kingdom of Heaven, but his surname is Lan?" Lu Cheng asked after hearing this.

"How did my lord know?" Lu Fang looked at Lucheng in shock, and continued, "This person has the surname Lan."

"That's why I didn't run away." With a murmur in his heart, Lucheng understood that he was the only one who caused trouble in Bashu in his previous life and was still the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

His name was Lan Dashun, who was from Bashu. He specialized in escorting opium in his previous life. Because he was dissatisfied with the policy of the Qing court (Lin Zexu had already gone to Guangdong to ban opium at the end of 1838), he used the name "Punish corrupt officials." , Calming tyranny, fighting the rich and helping the poor" slogan.

In Daguan County, Zhaotong Prefecture, Yunnan Province, together with Li Yonghe, he led the tobacco gang to burn incense and worship flags to announce the uprising. At the peak, more than [-] people gathered, and the active area reached more than [-] counties, disturbing the entire Bashu area. The Qing court suppressed him to death, but he was also considered a man of the hour in history.

Moreover, this person finally proclaimed himself emperor. Although Jianyuan Shuntian was not an orthodox emperor, according to his influence in his previous life, especially in the Bashu area, it may be difficult to obtain a county magistrate, but it is very difficult to obtain a village construction order. Fully qualified.

The reason why Lucheng knew this person was also related to the bad luck in the period after rebirth, especially about the famous historical figures in the Bashu area, Lucheng also had a general understanding.

Looking at Lu Fang's shocked eyes at this moment, Lu Cheng asked with a smile, "Does this man have a city?"

Lu Fang hadn't recovered from the shock just now, when he heard Lucheng's question, he quickly raised his head and said, "Yes, this person has a city called Shuntian City."

"How many armored sergeants are there?" Lucheng continued to ask.

"The last general is not clear about this, just look at the guards around him, they are elite."

"Well, I already know." Lucheng changed the topic at this time, and said with a smile: "General Lu is here for the first time, and as the lord of this city, I have to do my best to be a landlord. Tonight, I will be in the lord's mansion Set up a banquet to congratulate the general, then General Guan will also come, so you can get acquainted."

"In addition, the manor in the city is also prepared for the general, the general can go and stay first."

There are ten manor-style dwellings in the Lord's Mansion, one of which was given to Guan Hai and Leng Tianlu earlier.

When Lu Fang heard this, he also knelt down to accept the reward.

After Lu Fang walked out of the conference hall, Lu Cheng stood up from his chair with a happy expression on his face.

Lu Fang came at the right time, now, Leng Tianlu has gone out to spy on information, and Guan Hai is still in training, there is no general guarding Wuyang City for a while, but there is no need to worry at this time.

Regarding Lu Fang's whereabouts, Lucheng also has arrangements. Now that Huwei No. [-] Battalion has no leading general, Lucheng intends to let Lu Fang take up this position.

Originally, Guan Hai was the most suitable for this position, but Wuyang City still needed Guan Hai to lead the army to fight.

Guan Hai's leadership ability has been seen from when he first attacked the Yellow Turban Army. He acted cautiously, but without losing courage and determination, he was quite a general.

Moreover, Guan Hai's force value of 78 points can play a greater role than Lu Fang when he goes out to fight, which is why Guan Hai has been staying in the bandit camp.

Now that Lu Fang has been decided to be the leader of the Huwei Army, it is necessary to purchase equipment for him.
