When he heard that Xixia was defeated, he decided to return to the Central Plains.

The journey to the south was indeed difficult. It took almost two years to eat and sleep in the open, and climb mountains and ridges. Li Hong's family finally escaped... It was said to be a family, but there were actually five people.

From Huanqing into the territory of Song Dynasty, Li Hong was included in the refugee resettlement personnel.But Li Hong has a backup, he presented the god arm crossbow...

Therefore, Li Hong's family was recruited into the workshop city...

Li Hong also knew that it was impossible for him to be trusted by Da Song in a short period of time, but he enjoyed the same treatment as the craftsmen of Da Song.It is also because of this treatment that Li Hong is very glad that he escaped back... This is what it feels like to be alive.

He became the team leader of the artisans who fled from the Western Xia to the south. Although he was only in the carriage workshop, he still enjoyed all the treatment that artisans should have.The mother-in-law went to the wool workshop, the son entered the school of the workshop city, and the younger brother was also selected by the workshop city to be the guard patrolling the outer city...

From that moment on, Li Hong made up his mind to repay his kindness with death!

When Workshop City called Northwest craftsmen to Huazhou for disaster relief, he was the first to sign up...

Li Hong was brought into the headquarters before he was fully ready... Is this to see His Majesty the Emperor?

As soon as Li Hong entered the door, he knew he had guessed right.

"Li Hong, the team leader of the fourth group of the carriage workshop in the workshop city, greets His Majesty!"

Li Hong is a true prostration... Their Li family, the glory that has never been seen before, appeared on him Li Hong!

"Are you Chinese?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I am indeed a Han Chinese."

This humble official is a real humble official, the leader of the ninth-rank class.

The craftsmen in the workshop city are all paid according to the rank of the imperial court, and they are also the officials of the Ministry of Industry.

Li Hong doesn't know how to call himself, but he knows that there is the title of Weichen...

There was a sudden roar of laughter from the headquarters, the sound was not loud, but Li Hong knew that he might have made a mistake in his claim.

"Well, this claim is correct. The squad leader of the workshop city, I remember that the lowest is the ninth rank. You come from the northwest, and you must have made special contributions to be the squad leader, right?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I am familiar with the construction of the god arm crossbow..."

"What? God arm crossbow?"

"The god arm crossbow of the Xixia people?"

"Why isn't the army equipped with a god arm crossbow?"

"Officials, this matter needs to be verified!"

Suddenly there was a commotion in the headquarters.No wonder, after all, the god arm crossbow is very famous, even Zhao Xi has heard of the god arm crossbow in later generations, it is considered a sharp weapon in battle.

Li Hong didn't expect such a big reaction, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"It is true that the workshop city has reported to me..."

Just one sentence, the headquarters is quiet.Li Hong suddenly felt that His Majesty the Emperor was very kind.

"Li Hong, right? Let's get up and talk... According to Li Hong's narration, the workshop city did manufacture the god arm crossbow, but due to the flaws in the frequency and strength of the god arm crossbow, the workshop city needs to be remodeled and equipped later. army."

There is no need to explain too clearly, the ministers and workers really dare not entangle with the officials on this matter.

"Li Hong, right? Do you know how to make sheepskin rafts?"

Li Hong was stunned, how could this be?Just now you mentioned the god arm crossbow, why did your majesty ask the sheepskin raft all of a sudden?

In Xingqing Mansion, even those stupid people like Dangxiang can make sheepskin rafts, why did His Majesty ask him this?

"Li Hong, the officials are asking questions!"

Li Hong was woken up by the sound, and remembered that he was in front of His Majesty the Emperor, so he lost his mind.

If it was in Xingqing Mansion, with just one blow, maybe his head would fall to the ground.

"Don't be nervous. Li Hong, do you think it's overkill to call you all the way to make sheepskin rafts?"

"Things depend on their use rather than the difficulty of making them. Just tell me, will it or won't it?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I can make sheepskin rafts, and all craftsmen from the northwest can make sheepskin rafts."

"Okay! I ordered you to be the temporary head of the workshop and lead all the craftsmen to make sheepskin rafts!"

Chapter 649 Let him die like an insult

The material transportation and artisan transportation in the workshop city are separated, not only this time, but every time.

Only then did Li Hong realize that this train had actually transported so many sheepskins.

Li Hong has already been ordered to make sheepskin rafts, leaving behind a group of bewildered servants in the headquarters...

This stuff is simple and quick to make.A group of ignorant ministers in the command center were dazed and discussing for a while, and Li Hong offered a sheepskin raft first...

In the words of later generations, this Li Hong has a high EQ, and he can quickly understand what's going on.

"This thing..."

"Walking on water is comparable to rafts and bamboo rafts!"

"It should be said that it is better than a wooden raft and a bamboo raft!"

Although the smell of mutton is quite strong, the ministers and workers are still discussing enthusiastically.

"Building this thing, controlled by soldiers, can save the plight of thousands of people outside Huazhou City! Your Majesty, this is a sacred act!"

"Officials, looking at the annals of history, have you ever seen a king who rescued the people from the fire and water? This move by the official family is the first of its kind for a sage, and it is a clear proof of a sage in the prosperous age..."

All flattering and flattering tones, as if the sheepskin raft was created by Zhao Xi.

Who knows what they were thinking.

"The water flow cannot be slowed down, nor can the sheepskin raft be manipulated. It is difficult to save the people!"

Wang Anshi also agrees that this thing is easy to use.The problem is, he can't bear the flattery at this moment.

Yes, the officials are angry, so they should find a way to make them feel better.But does such a bottomless compliment really work?

Outside the tent, the heavy rain is still falling, and the people of Huazhou are still struggling to survive in the vast ocean, and the lives and deaths of tens of millions of people are unknown...~

However, Zhao Xi's mood did improve a little bit, at least he temporarily forgot about Linghu Jiu's shamelessness.

Zhao Xi didn't think it was inappropriate for Wang Anshi to be offensive... Indeed, it's not the time to relax yet.
