This long winter gradually passed in Yang Feng's busyness.

He's really busy.

During the day, he led his subordinates to carry out construction, built a small blast furnace for ironmaking, built a wrought iron furnace, built a hydraulic forging hammer, and even had to guide those women in mineral processing, and also had to teach them to make feces soap with fertilizer and plant ash, and had to go to Atami to guide how to improve the salt-making technology, especially brought a group of women to be in charge of salting salted fish. It is also necessary to build a wharf on the side of the Chu River, and at the same time build some small inland river boats, once the river thaws, you can transport the iron ore to the river nearby, and then put it down downstream, even his salt field transportation can be like this, the source of the Chu River is in Atami, although this kind of small river can not go to a big boat, but the flat-bottomed small sampan has no pressure, and the small sampan is stronger than his horse. In addition, he had to instruct his subordinates on how to make four-wheeled transport wagons, which were indispensable for fighting on the prairie, in fact, the Western Regions were basically similar to the western United States, and the four-wheeled caravans that also supported the movement of the western United States were also the best means of transportation here.

In addition, he had to take his men out to hunt for wild food.

Although there was no food pressure at this time, and winter was not very suitable for long-distance expeditions, the general was still full of interest in it, but he rarely went out in the later period, mainly because except for those tame tribes, other nomads around him had been so plagued by him that no one dared to operate south of Yibohai.

By this time he was as far as Talus.

The general, who has no one to harm, can only express his deep feelings for the Hu sisters in the general's mansion at night.

For this reason, he also deliberately made a big bed, a large bed that almost occupies a room, the bed is piled with long-haired animal skins of various colors, and then he and the twenty female slaves are buried in the whole pile of furry to do what they like, although he temporarily loses the ability to transform, but his strengthened stick is also very powerful, 1V20 is completely stress-free. The only regret is that I don't know why a belly hasn't gotten bigger, and he's at a loss for this, in short, this time through, because of the sudden change from the samurai department to the mage department, which led to a lot of inexplicable things that made him baffled, including twenty female slaves tossing every day and not getting a big belly

You must know that most of the soldiers under him have already made achievements, and even some of them have become bigger, and the scene of the big belly in the city at this time is also very spectacular.

I have to say that this is really confusing to him.

By the spring of the following year, his other efforts had largely borne fruit.

First of all, the first furnace of iron was smelted.

Although his furnace can only smelt a thousand catties of pig iron at a time, and then it becomes even less mature iron, about three or four hundred catties, and because of the poor efficiency of charcoal, there are at most two furnaces of pig iron a day, but this is enough, a body of Mingguang armor does not use too much iron, as for the armor, of course, it has to be cold forged, he is charcoal iron-making and there is not much sulfur, and the ores are all high-quality ores that have undergone a certain degree of beneficiation, and the iron produced is of very good quality, which can completely follow the cold forging of the Xixia people, and even try to make as large a piece of armor as possible, and there are armorers in his armyHe doesn't need to worry about this.

And that's what the hydraulically powered hammer does.

This hydraulic forging hammer is powered by the water of the Chu River, not to mention forging armor, even forging plate armor is actually no problem.

Of course, but he still prefers Mingguang armor.

Second, his salt industry was truly perfected.

Now he has dried it first and then boiled it, and he has filled the lake with water in a circle on the sand on the shore of the lake, and then exposed it to the warm sun until it is almost dry, and then he dug it out and wrapped it in a cloth and poured some lake water, and what flows out is the high-salt brine, which can be boiled after clarification.

In this way, the yield is greatly increased.

Even the merchants of the Stone Kingdom came to him to buy salt, and a commercial center was forming.

The third is urban construction.

The broken leaves of the original broken city wall have been repaired again, the muddy dirt road in the city has also been paved with stones, and there are pebbles washed out of the mountains by the Chu River, this paving can solve the problem of the general going out in the mud, which has always been hated by the general, and even he built a kiln to burn green bricks, but because of the current scale restrictions, the output is not very high, and he is ready to continue to produce bricks for the city wall in the future.

It's very advanced.

China's ancient city wall has not really completed the brick wrapping until the Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty even Bianliang is only a partial brick, this thing really popularized the brick also got the Ming Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty at this time even the vast majority of Chang'an City is still rammed earth, so a brick of broken leaves, that is enough to call the city, you must know that this city is not small, the circumference is seven miles, which is also the county level in the interior......

Well, it's not that big!

Because it was too laborious to build an outer city and his labor force was insufficient, Yang Feng used another method to solve the problem of the outer buffer zone, he buried a ring-shaped horse-repelling stake belt around the city, and used a half-human high wooden stake with the tip outward to create a dense forest, and burned the outside in advance in order to prevent corrosion, and this three-zhang wide horse-repelling stake belt was enough to limit the cavalry impact.

And it's within range of the crossbow on the city walls!

Once the cavalry dismounts, it will be targeted as it passes.

In the future, when the population is larger, you can dig a moat and build an outer wall at the same time.

And his fourth achievement is to equip the Tang Army with a divine arm bow.

This is the best weapon for defense.

Although the Tang army also has a large number of strong crossbows, but these crossbows are worse than the divine arm bow, in fact, without the use of firearms, in the future, he is really ready to learn from the Song army to play heavy infantry and divine arm bow, after all, if he expands the size of the army, he will definitely go to the infantry, and elite soldiers like his current command are to be used as the main heavy cavalry, infantry can only be consumables, and it is impossible for recruits to draw strong bows like these people.

And to say that the infantry is undoubtedly the heavy infantry of the Song Army, which is alone in the world.

It must be understood that the strength of the Tang army is actually the strength of the cavalry, those famous generals of the Tang army are all sitting on horseback, and the simple Tang army infantry is probably worse than the heavy infantry of the Song army.

The Song army just didn't have horses.

Yue Fei, who had a horse, was immediately invincible.

And he didn't have this problem at all, his subordinates now had a maximum of three horses, and when they went out in the wilderness, they usually rode one horse with one pack equipment, and one of the best Arabian horses or Dawan horses for combat use, and he could even make sure that every infantry was equipped with horses or carriages.

In the future, he is preparing to form a version of the Tang Army of the Yue family.

It was then supplemented by the most well-equipped heavy cavalry of the era.

At that time, he was basically invincible.

May of the eleventh year of Datang Tianbao.

"That's life!"

Under the warm sunshine, Yang Feng lay leisurely on the soft sand, feeling the coolness of the lake in Atami and said.

His big stick stood proudly on the surface of the lake, like a majestic flag.

And his beloved Sogdian slave girl, Ah Zi, lay beside him seductively, sticking out her tongue from time to time to hold out this towering flagpole, her eyes full of longing, and several other slave girls also lay comfortably in the surrounding lake, enjoying the warm sunshine and refreshing water like him.

Of course, the previous names of these female slaves were invalid, and Yang Feng, who was too lazy to think too much, simply used the color as their name, so not only Ah Zi, but also Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, and even Ah Hei! Behind them was a large log hut on the edge of the forest, and on a bonfire in front of the hut was a skinned fawn roasting with oil, and two Turkic slave girls, who were not yet of edible age, sat beside them, flipping and brushing spices on them from time to time.

This is the General's holiday villa.

The general, who works hard every day, also needs a place to relax.

Atami was a resort for generations to come.

Lying in this saltwater lake surrounded by mountains, looking at the ancient primeval forests around him, the white snow tops on the blue sky, fishing and hunting, such a day is in line with his identity.

And, of course, doing something else.

"Little sao goods!"

Yang Feng, who was interested in Tian, picked up Ah Zi, and in her happy scream, he held her back to him and pressed down fiercely, and then turned over in the water like a sailfish out of the water, and immediately pressed on Ah Qing next to her, and the two slave girls stacked up and down directly on their chests, and in their laughter, Yang Feng was about to drive full power with a cruel laugh, but at this time......

"Huh?!"

He and a girl in red on a horse not far away looked at each other.

The latter stopped there stupidly, apparently not seeing most of them in the water before, when they suddenly jumped out of the water, completely bewildering the poor girl, she looked at him stupidly, and then at the two slave girls who turned their heads at the same time below him, and in an instant the little face turned bloody, and then let out a heart-rending scream, and then turned the horse's head as fast as she could, and ran back.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Feng said speechlessly.

Almost at the same time, at the foot of the mountain not far away, a middle-aged man in armor rushed out with dozens of soldiers on horseback, the man directly took off the Mo knife behind him on the horse, and stepped forward to grab her against the girl, the latter covered his face with an unsightly expression and pointed behind him, the man turned his head and saw Yang Feng who was turning over, and then his face changed and the Mo knife in his hand swung, urging the war horse to rush straight towards him.

Yang Feng and the other female slaves looked at him calmly.

Soon the horse was ten feet away, and they retreated neatly into the lake, and lay down in the lake and paddled to watch him.

"Yang Fengsheng?"

The middle-aged general took the horse and said in amazement.

Yang Feng, the word Fengsheng.

Yang Feng looked at him, then looked at the Mo knife in his hand, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

"Deputy marshal, please forgive your subordinates for the inconvenience!"

He said with a pure face.
