The money turned in from the city, some ancient paintings and agates and other things were sent to Xinghan City, and the rest of the gold and silver were kept by themselves for the reconstruction of the city.

Du Rufang and Jiang Yuhua went out of the city together. This day was the day when the soldiers were conducting drills, and they wanted to follow along.

What kind of combat power does this elite group capable of defeating the Tartars possess?

After they came out of the city with these soldiers, they saw that the trebuchet was quickly assembled.

On the hillside in the distance, a big target had already been set up, and after some adjustments, the soldiers threw out black objects and hit the target directly.

Immediately, all the scarecrows inside were blown up and scattered, and some even caught fire.

Seeing this scene, Du Rufang's eyes widened immediately, and he stared at this scene.

He never imagined that this thrown thing would have such a powerful power!

I've heard it before, saying that there is such a thing in Xing Seoul City, which can blow people up or something.

I just heard about it before, and I don’t know what it is, and I have a little understanding of it.

Looking at it now, I realized that this thing is actually so powerful.

Looking at the soldiers on the side, all of them are well-trained, marching or preparing for war, such well-trained and strict military discipline is even more shocking.

Da Cang Kingdom should not be able to defeat such soldiers.

In particular, the opponent still has such an artifact in his hand.

"Yiyi!"

Bai Yi came back riding a bloody BMW. After dismounting in front of the yard, she rushed into the yard. Seeing Qiongyue holding one in each hand, her expression became slightly calmer.

"Sister is back!"

Knowing that Bai Yi might want to kill her daughter right now, Qiong Yue stood up and handed Yiyi out of her arms.

Bai Yi hugged her in her arms, looking at her daughter's familiar face, her heart almost melted.

"I miss you!"

Bai Yi hugged the child, and after leaving for such a short time this time, she realized how hard it is to leave her daughter.

Qiongyue watched from the side, and said softly when she saw this scene, "My sister should not go out to war in the future, just stay with Yiyi, now that Chengxue and the others are available, my sister doesn't have to work so hard."

They are also Lu Chensheng's wife, it doesn't make sense for her to be at home, but Bai Yi just went out to fight for his life.

Bai Yi raised her head and shook her head when she heard the words, "If the battle line is divided and there is a shortage of manpower, we still need to go to the battlefield. Everything should be focused on the important matters of the husband."

Bai Yi was a general in the first place, and he paid attention to important matters in everything, how could he delay the important matters of his husband just because of himself.

What's more, as long as she is unified, she can stay by Yiyi's side for as long as she wants.

When Qiong Yue heard the words, she immediately felt a little uncomfortable trying to persuade her, and what Bai Yi said was right after all.

I can't ask her to persuade her, but her family's family affairs are not that important, right?

"Where is Mr. Xianggong? Are you working in the city again?"

Bai Yi looked around, but he didn't see Lu Chensheng, so he asked.

"Well, it is said that the craftsmen are asked to build a weaving machine."

"Weaving loom? What's that?"

Bai Yi was startled when he heard that.

"I don't know. Husband always has a lot of weird ideas. It seems that it is a machine that can help people weave cloth quickly. This thing can increase production capacity. That's what Husband said."

Qiong Yue was somewhat immune to her husband's thoughts from time to time.

I only know that every time my husband has these ideas, as long as he can come up with them, it will have a huge role in promoting the development of Xinghan City.

"How is Sending Cloud City going? I heard that there has been some unrest recently."

Qiongyue turned her head and asked about the situation in Jiyun City.

"Recently, Governor Liu has been paying off those gentry and taking back all the fertile land, and now he is busy again, distributing fertile land to the common people, seeing him busy when he left, wishing that one person would become two.

Then he also dug up the previous case files and retried the prisoners in the prison, but all those who were wronged were released again, even if they were dead, but as long as they were wronged, the case was also overturned.

In addition, the reconstruction plan in the city, as well as the manpower from Xinghan City, who are going to build some workshops there, require him to grant a piece of land for the construction of workshops.

In short, all kinds of things are going on, but it's okay now, the people who should be killed are almost killed. "

Bai Yi briefly told Qiong Yue about the matter in Sending Cloud City.

Qiongyue felt extremely troublesome when she heard it.

"No wonder my husband said that there are not enough manpower. There are so many things in Jiyun City. If we add another Weibian City and then have Xinghan City, my husband will be very busy."

When Qiong Yue heard this, she felt a little dizzy.

Not to mention the rest, the case files that have been closed before have to be dug out for re-examination. Isn't this embarrassing?

Just thinking about it like this makes me feel very overwhelmed.

"That's right, we need to get more talented people for Xianggong, otherwise, there will be no one under his command, and Xianggong must have a headache."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi immediately nodded and said something.

"Recently, Du Rufang from the Great Cang Kingdom came to visit again. I don't know if he will stay. He seems to have some talent. If he stays, maybe he can bring some people to help your husband with things. "

Qiong Yue heard the words and talked about Du Rufang's arrival a few days ago.

Bai Yi couldn't help but twitch her eyebrows when she heard this, she knew this Du Rufang, and he did have some talents.

Chapter 541 Expansion of Troops

"This thing is really extraordinary. With this machine, the production capacity can be increased by dozens of times!"

In the workshop, everyone looked at the somewhat simple machine in front of them, but their faces were full of surprise.

This is the weaving machine developed by Lu Chensheng. It was originally called the Jenny Weaving Machine.

It's just that now that Lu Chensheng is using it, such a name is a bit too awkward, so he replaced it with the Weaver Girl loom.

Zhinu was originally the patron saint of weavers, so it is the most appropriate name to put on it.

"It can be used, and the efficiency is not bad. Let them make more machines like this as soon as possible."

Lu Chensheng took a look, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he spoke.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the machine, Lu Chensheng naturally asked the craftsmen to step up production.

With this machine, the textile industry will achieve rapid progress and provide many jobs.

At that time, the cloth can be made cheaper, and the burden on the people will be reduced.

This machine is not particularly difficult for craftsmen.

Compared with the construction of some palaces, this machine is simply too simple, especially this thing can be made of wood, so it is easier to make.

The craftsmen have already seen it, and the shopkeeper of his own shop makes some shocking inventions from time to time.

It's just that I'm still shocked when I see it now.

There is always the appearance that one's own knowledge for many years has been constantly refreshed by the shopkeeper.

After solving the matter, Lu Chensheng clapped his hands and left.

He can rest assured that the craftsmen are doing things. Now that the matter has been explained, he can relax a little bit.

When Lu Chensheng returned home, he saw Bai Yi sitting in the yard, holding Yiyi in his arms, feeding her breasts, and the scene revealed was astonishingly tender and quite eye-catching.

Because of this, outsiders are no longer allowed to enter the yard casually.

The servants who have been notifying all the time are now replaced by women.

Bai Yi listened to the movement, and after seeing that it was Lu Chensheng, she continued to feed Yiyi in her arms.

"The lady is back."

Seeing this, Lu Chensheng immediately smiled.

Bai Yi responded, "Everything is fine in Jiyun City, you can rest assured, sir."

Xinghan City, which was once recovered by Lu Chensheng before, has now been recovered once again when it comes to her.

"Have you started recruiting soldiers over there? Is it easy to recruit?"

On the side of Xinghan City, due to this autumn harvest, many refugees outside the city have passed the assessment and can enter the city.

The number of people increased a lot at once, and many people were overjoyed. The craftsmen responsible for the construction of the palace began to recruit people to work there.

On the pier, now that the war is over, all the Tartars have been driven away, more ships coming and going at the pier, and more workers.

There are tens of thousands of Tartars who have been captured before, and now all of them are sent to dig canals.

Because there were too many people, thousands of people were specially sent to take care of these Tartars.

The Tartars only had some shovels in their hands. Even if they wanted to make trouble, with the crossbows in the hands of the soldiers, they had no ability to resist at all.

Therefore, the side of the canal has been very calm, and no one has escaped.

No horses, no food, no place to run.

What's more, if there is one person sitting in a row, dozens of people in the team will be buried with them, which directly limits their thoughts.

Due to the increase in the number of people, the excavation of the canal has now accelerated a lot.

In Star Seoul, soldiers also started a new round of recruitment.

A few days ago, Lu Chensheng had just held a funeral for a soldier killed in battle this time.

Under the grand funeral, coupled with the respect and favor for the soldiers, many men were infected and joined the ranks of recruitment one after another.

Originally there were only about 4 soldiers, but now they have directly recruited 3 soldiers. The [-] people are new recruits who still need training.

The number of soldiers increased, and the expenses all of a sudden increased a lot.

But just such a small number of soldiers is not enough now, Lu Chensheng needs more troops.

Star Han City can almost only recruit these, and now it depends on Jiyun City and Chuibian City.

"Recruitment has already begun. Our soldiers have a good reputation in Jiyun City and are very popular with the people. Coupled with the good strategy requested by my husband, more and more soldiers joined the team. When I left , Sending Cloud City has already recruited [-] soldiers."

There is actually another reason why so many soldiers can be recruited, and that is that the soldiers are treated so well.

It's already late autumn now, and it will be winter in a while.

This year's late autumn was not so easy. The Tartars were repelled, but with such a large-scale southward movement, plus the advance time, many people's land was ruined.

It is because he is worried about how to spend this year, now that he can get this military salary, it seems extremely generous, after serving as a soldier, he can directly eat military salary, and there is also military salary to support the young and old in the family.

Under such temptation, more and more people join the army for natural reasons.

Especially after seeing the other party's military discipline, the common people were very relieved to let their sons join the army.

"That's good. Xing Seoul has made a lot of money this year. Although the military salary is a huge expense, it has to support such an army."

How can we do it without troops?

At that time, no one will guard the cities that have been captured.

According to some people's practice, when the time comes, recruit those soldiers while fighting, or recruit some strong men to join the army, so that they can expand the size of their army.

But Lu Chensheng didn't want that.

In this way, the military discipline is really broken, and adding these people to the army will make the original army scattered, which is not what Lu Chensheng wants to see.

It's better to directly recruit enough elite soldiers to deal with various situations.

"On the other side of Sending Cloud City, Chengxue is watching over it, and everything is fine."

Bai Yi then said another sentence.

Sending Cloud City is recruiting soldiers, and the same is true for Chuibian City. We have exchanged letters before, and we know that the situation there is also good.

Bai Yi was quite relieved, with such a generous military salary, recruiting soldiers would naturally be much easier.

Lu Chensheng relaxed a little when he heard the words, and then nodded, "That's fine, as long as there are enough soldiers, we can start next year, and finally I have to complete my small goal."

There was a hint of excitement on Lu Chensheng's face.

He has been waiting for this day for a long time, and now the time is finally ripe.
