Looking at the slightly magnificent craftsman's workshop in the valley, Lu Bu showed a satisfied smile. In order to choose a place to build the craftsman's workshop, Lu Bu spent a lot of thought.
If you want to enter this valley, you have to go through the place guarded by soldiers. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. A thousand soldiers are enough to block the attack of tens of thousands of people. There are also fields in the mountains.
The increase in demand for hundred-refined weapons made the craftsman's workshop more and more busy. At this time, the craftsman's workshop was able to accommodate [-] craftsmen to forge weapons at the same time, and the number of craftsmen exceeded a thousand.
When Lu Tong heard that Lu Bu was coming, he hurried over with the support of Lu Zhu.
"Greetings to Marquis Wen." Lu Tong got rid of Lu Zhu and saluted.
Lu Bu helped Lu Tong up and said, "It is thanks to you that the craftsman's workshop can develop like this."
"It's an honor for Caomin to serve for Marquis Wen at such a young age," Lu said.
Lu Tong is a craftsman, he is valued by Lu Bu, which is of great significance to him.
"From now on, in front of this Marquis, don't call yourself a grassroots." Lu Bu said with a smile.
Lu Tong didn't know why, so did the craftsmen who followed Lu Tong.
"Lu Tong is in charge of the craftsman's workshop. He is a person who has made great contributions to Xuzhou. From now on, Lu Tong will be appointed as the county magistrate." Lu Bu said slowly.
"Thank you, Marquis Wen, grass-roots, I am very grateful. From now on, Marquis Wen has an order, and I will never give up." Lu Tong saluted excitedly, his voice trembling.
In the eyes of Lu Bu, the county magistrate is a low-level official, but for a craftsman like Lu Tong, it is a great honor, and this is a matter of honoring the ancestors.
The craftsmen behind Lu Tong were also stunned. They didn't realize from the appointment that a craftsman had become an official, and he was also the county magistrate, not to mention the county magistrate, even if he saw a young man from the government office Officials, they dare not speak loudly.
"What the Marquis pays attention to is the clear distinction between rewards and punishments. As long as you are a capable craftsman, you can get an official position." Lu Bu said solemnly.
"Wen Hou is wise." A craftsman shouted.
The rest of the craftsmen agreed one after another, and many craftsmen blushed when they shouted. This kind of news had a great impact on them, and it also gave them new hope.
After the shouting gradually subsided, Lu Bu laughed and said, "Of course, such an official position is an honor, not for you to actually go to be an official. You will enjoy corresponding treatment in terms of clothing and salary."
The craftsmen burst out laughing, even if they were asked to be officials, they would not know how to do things, such an honor was enough for them.
Lu Tong's face was reddish, as if he was ten years younger, "Marquis Wen, these are the most outstanding craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop, and they all have mastered the forging method of [-]-year-old steelmaking."
Lu Bu nodded. There are ten craftsmen in the arena. "Loyal and reliable people, choose more. This Marquis needs a lot of hundred-smelting weapons."
"Craftsman, humble job understands." Lu said.
After the craftsmen left, Lu Bu said: "The craftsman's workshop is of great importance, and there should be no slack in the slightest. This Marquis does not want the secrets of the craftsman's workshop to be known to others."
Lu Tong said yes, although he was old, after taking charge of the craftsman's workshop, he did everything by himself. This way of doing things also made many craftsmen admire him.
"Is it possible to make the strong crossbow sent by the Marquis earlier?" Lu Bu asked.
Lu Tongdao: "The craftsman is making it, and it will be fully mastered within five days."
"In terms of range and power, there must be guarantees." Lu Bu said: "The weapons made by the craftsman's workshop are related to the soldiers of the army fighting the enemy in front of the battle."
"The humble post takes orders." Lu Tong said.
The craftsman's workshop is divided into five areas, the craftsman in charge of weapons and armor is one area, the workshop for making immortal jade is one area, the place where immortal jade, weapons and armor are stored and transported is one area, and the place where the craftsmen's family lives is one area. The place where the lieutenants live is the first district.
Outside of the five major regions, there is a rather mysterious place guarded by soldiers from the army, even the craftsmen in the craftsman's workshop cannot approach it.
This area was also specially established by Lu Bu to develop gunpowder.
Gunpowder is a sharp weapon. In the era of cold weapons, it will definitely sweep the battlefield. If it is used properly in war, its role cannot be ignored. Although Lu Bu knows the formula of gunpowder, he wants him to develop gunpowder himself. It's not realistic, and besides, it's normal for the development of gunpowder to kill people.
Chapter 215 Gunpowder
Such matters are handed over to specially selected craftsmen, who only need to conduct research according to the formula given by Lu Bu.
People living in the craftsman's workshop can occasionally hear the rumbling sound, which is shocking, but they can't find out more information about the sound, so they think the sound is thunder.
Li Fu is the person in charge of gunpowder research and development.
Li Fu, who was in his thirties, gave people the first impression of being capable and capable, with a slightly dark complexion.
"How is the development of the things that the Marquis gave me?" Lu Bu asked.
Li Fu said: "Marquis Wen, this thing is quite difficult to make. Explosions that Marquis Wen mentioned often happen, and more than [-] people have died in the explosion."
When it comes to the development of gunpowder, Li Fu also has lingering fears.
"If someone dies, I don't hesitate to do so, because of this matter, the Marquis will give compensation to their families." Lu Bu said.
"This subordinate understands." Li Fu said.
"After the successful development of this thing, you will be the hero of Xuzhou, and I will give you a lot of rewards." Lu Bu said.
"Thank you, Marquis Wen." Li Fu hurriedly thanked him. As Lu Bu, he will be rewarded for speaking out, and there will definitely be no less.
The place where the gunpowder is developed is mysterious, not to mention the people living in the craftsman workshop, even the soldiers guarding this area cannot enter it.
The life of the craftsmen inside can be described as extravagant. There is no shortage of meat for every meal, and there is plenty of wine. It's just that the things they are developing are too dangerous, and there is a possibility of death if they are not careful.
Gradually, the craftsmen also got used to this, and saw too many bloody scenes, not because they didn't want to leave, but because they couldn't.
These craftsmen will have close contact with the god of death at any time, but they can see it away. Anyway, more of them come from poor backgrounds, and they are satisfied with enjoying a life.
Once the gunpowder is actually made, the craftsman will be extremely serious, and no one will take his own life as a joke.
Lu Bu has high hopes for gunpowder. After the flame is successfully developed, he will be able to develop more sharp weapons. At that time, will he still be afraid of the coming of war? It is a sharp weapon far beyond the weapons of this era.
Afterwards, Lu Bu took a look at the craftsman's workshop. Not only the workshop for making weapons and armor has been expanded, but also the workshop for producing immortal jade.
Immortal jade has brought huge profits for Lu Bu, and also made the princes flock to the production method of immortal jade. As long as the production method of immortal jade is not broken by others, immortal jade can bring far and constant income to Lu Bu.
The fairy jade in Pengcheng has already affected the lives of the upper class.
With the help of Xianyu, Lu Bu's strength will be further strengthened, even if some people see the impact of Xianyu's profits later, do they dare to resist Xianyu at this time?
If you resist, at some point, it will definitely promote the sale of immortal jade at a higher price, so the most important thing is to get the production method of immortal jade and form a rivalry with Lu Bu.
Pengcheng has the secret work of many princes, and they want to find out more secrets of Xuzhou.
"Marquis Wen, the soldiers in the army have discovered many suspicious people who came to Yingshan." The general who guarded the craftsman workshop said: "Many of them are secret craftsmen sent by the princes."
"There is no need to be lenient when dealing with the fine work of the princes. The craftsman's workshop is the most important place under the rule of this Marquis. The soldiers guarding the craftsman's workshop must be cautious." Lu Bu warned.
"The general understands." Being able to talk to Lu Bu was also a great honor for this general, and he instantly felt the importance of his position.
Guarding the craftsman's workshop is undoubtedly boring, but with Lu Bu's order, the meaning becomes different.
The Hundred Refined Weapons and Immortal Jade can bring great benefits to Lu Bu. Naturally, what Lu Bu hopes most is to sell more immortal jade. This is the basis for obtaining benefits. , will be continuously consumed, and the Hundred Refined Weapons will enhance the strength of the princes.
This is also the reason why Hundred Refined Weapons must be stricter in terms of sales.
After returning to the State Shepherd's Mansion, Lu Bu got the price agreed by Jizhou to buy a thousand weapons.
Before, Yuan Shu bought thousands of them and sent a large amount of supplies to Lv Bu. Now Yuan Shao has bought them again. It can be seen that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu also have a contest in this matter.
If Yuan Shu's strength increases too quickly, it will have a bad influence on Yuan Shao. If he wants to stabilize Jizhou, Yuan Shao must have powerful means to deter Gongsun Zan.
Just after the materials from Jizhou were transported to Xuzhou, the news that Yuan Shao sent an envoy to Xuzhou spread like wildfire. After the princes learned about it, they couldn’t calm down. You must know that Yuan Shao was the first to stand up when Lu Bu took control of Xuzhou Against Lu Bu, the princes of the world condemned him one after another.
At the critical moment, it was Yuan Shu who gave Lv Bu support, but now, Yuan Shao's actions have already demonstrated his support for Lv Bu. Thinking of the relationship between Lv Bu and Yuan Shu, it is not difficult for them to see that this is Yuan Shao's plan to unite with Lv Bu to contain Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shao is the lord of the princes, and his words and deeds will even affect other princes. Even Yuan Shao changed his attitude when facing Lu Bu. Do other princes dare to underestimate Lu Bu's influence?
This incident also told the princes of the world that in the face of absolute interests, past grievances can be put aside.
"Father, Lingqi heard that you are going to marry Aunt Xiu'er, right?" Lingqi jumped forward when she saw Lu Bu.
Lu Bu touched Lingqi's head with a smile, "Does Lingqi agree?"
"Of course Lingqi will agree. Aunt Xiu'er is very kind to Lingqi. She often plays with Lingqi, and Aunt Xiu'er is very beautiful." Lingqi said seriously.
Lu Bu laughed loudly and said, "Okay, since Lingqi has agreed, I will definitely marry Xiu'er as my father."
"Well, Lingqi will tell everyone the good news." Lingqi said happily
Lu Bu stayed in Lingqi, and said in a low voice: "But it's not the time to tell everyone, wait until the time is right."
"When will the time be right?" Lingqi asked, with a thoughtful look on her little face.
"When the time comes, Weifu will tell you that this is a secret between Weifu and you, don't let other people know."
"Don't mother tell me?"
Lu Bu smiled and nodded, "Only the two of us know."
"En." Lu Lingqi nodded excitedly, as if she had a secret with Lu Bu, which was something to be happy about.
"Let the person in charge of cooking in the mansion come here," Lu Bu said.
After the servants get the order, they dare not neglect.
After giving some instructions, Lu Bu left.
Chapter 216 Yuan Shu Gets Wrathful
It was night, and there was joy in the state pastoral mansion. A bunch of barbecued meat was made. The condiments were very simple, but Yan Yu, Xiu'er, Mi Zhen and others were very happy, especially when they knew that this dinner After it was arranged by Lu Bu, I was even happier.
In Lu Bu's previous life, kebabs were a very common snack, but they were quite popular, and it was not troublesome to make. There are cooks in the mansion, and they can make them as long as you order them.
The family enjoyed themselves happily, and Lu Bu showed a knowing smile. In order to gain a foothold among the princes, he put in a lot of effort. In order to obtain a stable life, and in order to be strong, he had to maintain a ruthless side in front of outsiders.
But as soon as he returned home, Lu Bu felt a different kind of warmth. His heart, which had been indifferent because of the battle, also melted in this kind of warmth. When dealing with enemies, Lu Bu was cold, but when facing his relatives, he There will be a warm side.
The family is also where Lv Bu's rebellion lies. No matter who dares to provoke Lv Bu, they will suffer revenge like a storm.
This is why Xiu'er, Mi Zhen and the others feel that Lu Bu is different from the rumors, but Lu Bu can treat his family like this, which also makes them feel at ease.
Lu Bu is a brave general, famous all over the world, and they don't want Lu Bu to be a ruthless person who only knows how to lead troops in battle.
As long as they are with Lu Bu, they will cherish it even more.
"When does my husband plan to marry Xiu'er?" Yan Yu asked with a smile.
The three girls all drank a little wine, and their faces were red at this time. After hearing Yan Yu's question, Xiu'er lowered her head, and she didn't know where to put her hands. She looked a little nervous, but there was something in her heart expect.
Mi Zhen smiled and said: "A beautiful woman like Xiu'er is hard to find in the world."
Lu Bu said, "Wait a little longer."
Although Xiu'er has passed the age of Jiji, she is still a young girl. In the future world, Xiu'er will never reach the age of marriage. Perhaps people in this era don't pay much attention to this point. I can't wait to marry off the daughter of the family as soon as possible.
After hearing this, Xiu'er hid behind Yan Yu, and it was really embarrassing to discuss such an issue in front of her.
"After two years, if Xiuer is still interested in Benhou, Benhou will marry Xiuer in." Lu Bu said solemnly.
Although Yan Yu didn't understand why, Lu Bu had already said it face to face, and she had no way to refute it, so she could only nod in agreement.
What do you mean two years later, still interested in Lu Bu? With Lu Bu's status, even after Xiu'er left the State Shepherd's Mansion, would other people dare to have other ideas? Even the servants of the State Shepherd's Mansion can see it , Lu Bu was so gentle when he treated Xiu'er.
Even when Lu Bu and Xiu'er go out, they will be called brother and sister, what kind of treatment is this.
Whether it's Xiu'er's appearance or Xiu'er's character, Yan Yu and Mi Zhen agree.
"Xiu'er has no objection?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.
Xiu'er whispered: "But according to Marquis Wen's orders."
Even if Lu Bu wanted to marry her tomorrow, she would have no objection, but Xiu'er also wondered why it took two years.
A meal can be said to make the mansion rejoice. The cook made a lot of barbecue, and every servant got the barbecue. It is so delicious, and it is also very attractive to the servants.
It is very difficult for ordinary people to eat a meal of meat.
In the early morning of the next day, after Lu Bu did his morning exercises in the courtyard, the mansion gradually became lively.
In charge of most of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, Lu Bu's strength is also top-notch among the princes, but Lu Bu dare not relax in the slightest in his own martial arts training. He knows what he is best at. It's fine for civil servants to do it.
Such a monarch is a good thing and a bad thing for the civil servants under his rule. They will have more power in their hands. Besides, Lu Bu will not dictate, they only need to follow the orders of the state shepherd's office. Those who are capable Officials will do better the tasks assigned by them.
But after all, Lv Bu is a vassal, leading an army to fight, it’s nothing, the key is that whenever a battle occurs, Lv Bu will take the lead, the battlefield is so dangerous, and any general with high martial arts skills cannot guarantee that he will be able to fight every time. Get out of the way on the battlefield.
Scholars who didn't like Lu Bu wished that Lu Bu would die in battle, but the officials who sincerely took refuge in Lu Bu wanted to persuade Lu Bu, but they didn't know how to persuade them. Besides, ordinary officials couldn't speak in front of Lu Bu.
After Yangzhou, Shouchun and Yuan Shu learned that Yuan Shao had sent an envoy to Pengcheng, their complexions were not very good.
