Yi Lu Di couldn't help but look happy, although he had expected that the cadre Mo Ye and the others would surprise him, but he didn't expect it to be such a big surprise.

"How many have you forged a sword like this?" Lu Di looked at Mo Ye.

Mo Xie said: "A total of 5,116 handfuls."

Lu Di frowned, his heart shouldn't be, nearly 20,000 people have been forging these sharp weapons here for nearly three years, how can it be that there are only 5,116 of them?

Xue Zhu seemed to see what Lu Di was thinking, and explained: "Your Majesty, in fact, there are more than 20,000 new swords we have forged in the past three years, but sometimes it is the reason why the craftsmen have an unstable grasp of the fire, resulting in uneven quality of the new swords, so after I and Candle Yongzi selected, these five thousand one hundred and sixteen can be counted as good."

After listening to it, Lu Di suddenly realized that even in the mechanization era of later generations, the quality of the things produced on the same batch of assembly lines is not the same, not to mention the current era of pure handwork.

Thinking of this, Lu Di immediately announced that he would secretly transfer a total of 10,000 craftsmen and slaves to this place, and he must build at least 15,000 such swords within half a year.

Mo Xie, Xue Candle and Candle Yongzi didn't know why the construction period was so urgent, but they didn't want to ask too much.

After encouraging everyone, Lu Di comforted some craftsmen and swordsmiths who had performed well, and rewarded them lavishly.

Of course, the "pacesetter" among the slaves, Lu Di also met, in addition to encouragement, is to announce the release of their slavery on the spot, the slave pacesetters are excited to cry when they hear this, and the other slaves who are not "pacesetters" are more motivated after learning the news, they hope that they can also become pacesetters one day, and get rid of this life as soon as possible.

There is no need to go into detail here.

For those waste swords of poor quality, Lu Di originally looked at them with hope, but the results were unsatisfactory, most of them were about the same sharpness as the bronze sword, but the toughness was not as good as the bronze sword, so Lu Di was helpless and recast the furnace.

In this secret mountain, Lu Di circled for nearly half a month, and in this half month, he and the public loss team carefully inspected all aspects of sword casting, and put forward their own suggestions for modification, through the joint efforts of everyone, the efficiency of sword casting has indeed improved a lot.

Looking at Lu Di's team, the cadres Mo Xie Xue Candle Yongzi and others were sent away for a long time, until everyone had no shadow.

At this time, Mo Xie Fang said strangely: "The king said, in a few days, let people bring us salted eggs to eat, what do you mean?" ”

Others don't know, what is a salted egg?

shook their heads one after another, and the cadres smiled and said: "Whatever, the king's stomach is notoriously delicate in the world, and the salted eggs he said must be a special food, right?" ”

Candle Yongzi, a famous man of Qi State, nodded, which he naturally realized as a native of Qi State.

As for Xue Candle, Xue Candle and Lu Di accompanied him all the way from Yue Kingdom, naturally he tasted a lot of Lu Di's food, and he was also looking forward to salted eggs.

Why did Lu Di give these people salted eggs?

Because these people do manual work, the most indispensable thing is salt and protein, and salted eggs are their best choice.

How to send salted eggs, there is no need to describe the happy expressions of these people when they eat salted eggs, and as soon as Lu Di returned to the city gate of Linzi with Yayu, the palace uncle who reported the good news came.

It turned out that Xizi Shi Yiguang was born, and Lu Di was overjoyed and let the military vehicle drive quickly to the palace.

Haha, how did Lu Di look and laugh when he held his eldest daughter with his first legal identity.

At this time, it had just entered spring, the weather was still very cold, and Zheng Dan, who had a belly, was afraid that the baby would catch the wind, so he hurriedly took it down and carried it back into the arms of Xizi Shi Yiguang.

The little guy may have felt that he was being hugged, wow wow cried a few words, and when Xizi put ** into her mouth, her cry turned into a milky chirp.

Xizi's heart is not good, so whether to let her get pregnant, Lu Di was hesitant at the time, but in the end, it was best to plan to have a child with her, after all, in this era, the heir is her heaven for a woman, and it is everything to her.

Now that he saw Xizi safely give birth to an heir, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xizi Shi Yiguang looked at her daughter, but her expression was very indifferent, she thought she would give birth to a son, but she didn't expect it to be a daughter, which made her have the happiness of being a mother and the unwillingness to be a mother.

Lu Di looked at Xizi's appearance and thought that she was angry that she was not around when she gave birth to her daughter, so she said a lot of comforting words, which made the corners of Xizi's mouth flash a smile.

Daughters can't have official names, like Lu Di's ninth sister Zhuang Jiang, in fact, Zhuang is the milk name given to the ninth sister by his father Qi Jinggong back then, so Lu Di can't go beyond this rule and name the "eldest daughter" Yan'er.

This milk name is relatively vulgar, but it is good to be vulgar, and it will not be jealous of God.

After all this was done, Lu Di let Yayu outside the house come in and tell him about the matter.

Although Zheng Dan married Lu Di early, and her son was already able to run, she still had to walk forward and shout: "Sister." ”

Because Yayu's identity is more noble than her Zheng Dan.

Yayu hurriedly helped Zheng Dan up, Xizi was unable to move because he had just given birth, and nodded his head to make his eyes salute.

The three girls sat on the kang in the house and talked, but Lu Di saw that she couldn't interject, so she had no choice but to leave, and gave some food to the witches who were still in religious ceremonies outside the hall, and let them disband.

In addition to reading some of the newspapers of various prefectures every day, Lu Di is to accompany the family to talk about the day, and the most talked about is the next marriage to Princess Fujiyu.

Lu Di is proud, but the northern vassal states outside the Qi State are hard.

Because the great drought that swept the north has really come, and since the beginning of winter, there has not been a drop of rain in the north, and the rivers, lakes and swamps that used to be flowing are now as cracked as a child's mouth.

Those who had laughed at Lu Di for digging ditches and wells had all shut up at this time.

Zhou Tianzi Ji Kuo looked at the big house he dreamed of facing the big river and the spring flowers, but now it has become a big house facing the big ditch and the land is cracked, and he is crying and scolding the sky for being jealous of him.

The Qin State secretly intercepted and drained the ancient Yellow River, the Wei River and other rivers, so as to preserve the vitality.

The Jin Kingdom was already in a terrible civil war, and now it encounters a drought again, or it is terrible, it is a thousand miles of red fields, and mourning is everywhere.

Because the Han Wei clan had the ancient Yellow River passing through the fief, they learned from the Qin State and secretly picked up the Yellow River and drained it to their own fiefdom, but after all, they did not dig a ditch and prepare it earlier, so their drainage was often too late or a drop in the bucket, and the place covered was only a small area.

With the advent of drought, competition for water became the biggest trigger for war.

The Zhao family had just ended the peace talks with Rong Di and exchanged the conditions of land cession and compensation for marrying a daughter in exchange for peace, but who would have expected such a heavy blow to come.
