"Oh, I call this thing coal, it comes from underground, and now it can be regarded as a specialty of my Yizhou."

Huang Yueying said with a smile: "The concubine has heard that Lu Servant has built Xiagang Village in Yizhou as a place of seclusion, and many special products produced in Yizhou are extremely profitable in Jingxiang, right?" ”

Lu Ren said with a smile: "It's just a matter of making some money to make a living." Again, I was afraid of being an official in my early years, and there is nothing wrong with being as free as I am now. ”

Huang Yueying smiled: "Sir's state of mind is very similar to that of my husband. Kong Ming is also willing to work hard, and he doesn't think much about becoming an official. ”

Lu Renxin is talking nonsense! Zhuge Liang didn't think he had met the right lord, okay? I remember that in the past, people on the Internet forum often argued about what Zhuge Liang would do if he helped Lao Cao, and what would happen if he defected to Sun Quan, but they often ignored Zhuge Liang's identity at the time, as well as his age and qualifications.

Whether it is to defect to Lao Cao or Sun Quan, they will definitely not even be ranked in the number of seats. You must know that there are a lot of strategists under Lao Cao, and there are definitely a lot of strategists in Sun Quan's hands, Zhuge Liang is really going to go, how old is he? And Zhuge Liang compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, which shows how high his heart is, and he will be willing to go to the land that cannot be taken seriously? In contrast, Liu Bei's camp, which is extremely short of strategists, is the most suitable place for Zhuge Liang.

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Ren suddenly remembered that Huang Yueying had just said that Zhuge Liang had written a letter saying that he was going to go to the Badong area, so Zhuge Liang was already preparing to defect to Liu Bei, but one was that the preparations at hand were not sufficient, and the other was that the time had not yet come, even if he defected to Liu Bei now, most of them would not get Liu Bei's real attention.

"Hmm...... It seems necessary to make adjustments. If Zhuge Liang is not brought out at the right time, there will definitely be a big problem with Liu Bei, which will be greatly detrimental to my future strategic arrangements......"

He was thinking about it here, but Huang Yueying's eyes stayed on the silk umbrella that Diao Chan put in her hand at this time. A little groaning. Huang Yueying said to Minchan: "Mrs. Xiu, can you give the concubine a look at your rain gear?" ”

Mink Chan was stunned, and then looked at Lu Ren. Lu Ren realized that most of these small organs would not be able to hide from a mechanical master like Huang Yueying, so he simply nodded to Minchan. After the umbrella was handed over, Huang Yueying didn't have much effort to find the spring on the handle of the umbrella, and then pulled out an inch after gently pressing it, looking at the sword blade that was shining with cold light, Huang Yueying nodded and said approvingly: "The mechanism is very exquisite, and the sword is also extraordinary." It is no wonder that with the dignity of a gentleman, he dares to travel like this with only a few attendants. Look at this sword today. Mrs. Xiang Bixiu's swordsmanship must be extraordinary. ”

Mink Chan smiled back: "Madame has won the prize." ”

Lu Ren also remembered something at this time, turned his head to look at Huang Yueying's donkey cart and then hesitated: "Although Xiangyang is not very far from Longzhong, Madame is traveling so alone...... I think that the donkey cart must be full of mechanisms, so Madame is so fearless, right? ”

Huang Yueying smiled a little smugly: "I can't hide it from Mr." ”

Lu Ren said: "Madame, can you take a look?" ”

Huang Yueying gestured to please: "Sir, please." ”

Lu Ren got up and came to Huang Yueying's donkey cart, and began to look up and down carefully at the donkey cart. If it was an ordinary person in the Han Dynasty, he might not be able to see anything, but Lu Ren was a traverser after all, and he could see something. And under this closer look, Lu Ren was dumbfounded. He muttered to himself, "Are you kidding? It's even more exaggerated than anything in martial arts novels! This, this, this, this are almost armed to the teeth! ”

It's hard to say what it is, because Lu Ren also has too many things that he can't see. But those pipe holes on the car beams and carriages, Lu Ren knew that there must be short arrows hidden in them. Huang Yueying only needs to pull the rope in the car or press the machine spring. Short arrows and dark arrows will shoot out, and people who really run into them will die quite ugly. In addition, behind the wooden man coachman is a joystick, and Huang Yueying probably uses this joystick to manipulate the wooden man to whip the donkey to ensure that the donkey cart will not go the wrong way.

"Really? That's an exaggeration, isn't it? The Han Dynasty had such sophisticated mechanical technology? It's just wood with a small amount of metal! Why hasn't it been passed down to future generations? How many lost skills are there in our ancient China? I'm! ”

With a face full of incredulity, he returned to the pavilion and sat down. And here, Huang Yueying was also very surprised and said to Lu Ren: "Looking at Lu Fu's expression, it is obvious that he has seen the mystery of the concubine's donkey cart...... Unexpectedly, Lu Servant is also a master who is proficient in the art of organs. ”

Lu Ren shook his head: "It's not proficient, it's just a rough fur." ”

Huang Yueying said: "Lu Servant shot Qian. The concubine actually went to Xiangyang Wharf to take a closer look at the boat built by Mr. It may not be surprising elsewhere, but the fact that the ship has three masts and the sails have a dozen times once puzzled the concubine. After several attempts, I realized that the boats of the land servants could use the wind to move forward, regardless of whether they were downwind, crosswind or upwind. ”

Lu Ren was slightly surprised: "You can try this?" ”

Huang Yueying said with a smile: "The concubine has always liked to fiddle with these delicate things since she was a child, and once she can't figure it out, she often doesn't think about it...... Ah, can Lu Servant shoot the experience of the concubine? ”

Lu Ren hurriedly nodded and said, "Madam, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

Huang Yueying raised the palms of both hands and compared them to sails: "Ordinary ships are only sloops and sails, if you take advantage of the wind, the wind blows from the back of the ship, the boat will go the fastest, the crosswind is inferior, if the wind is against the wind, it is difficult to move forward, you need to lower the sail to avoid the wind and then row in with the oars." The mast and sail of the gentleman's ship are not the same, and the wind comes from the rear, but cannot go at full speed, so the sail should be slightly sideways, and the wind will be guided to the mainsail with the auxiliary sail behind the ship; But if there is a slight side wind, the boat can get full speed, and it can get more wind power than a normal ship, so it can go faster. But no matter what, you need a rudder to ensure the course ......."

Huang Yueying said in a vague manner here, and Lu Ren nodded beside her and secretly surprised. Huang Yueying is purely a small experiment and inference, but Lu Ren has a large amount of ready-made information here, and over the years, the shipwright and sailors have long verified the correctness of these information. Huang Yueying can say that it is almost the same as the data based on small experiments and inferences, so what kind of genius does Huang Yueying have? At least Lu Ren was very jealous in his heart at this time!

Time passed mercilessly quickly, and at the beginning, Huang Yueying actually didn't want to communicate too much with Lu Ren, after all, Lu Ren's reputation was not very good, so Huang Yueying gave a very tactful eviction order at the beginning.

But when she really talked to Lu Renyi about machinery, Huang Yueying regretted it a little...... Don't be surprised, this is a typical "wine is less than a thousand glasses of confidants, and there are more than half a sentence of speculation". You must know that in the Han Dynasty, as long as these skills could not be used for production and development, they would be called "strange and skillful" by those stubborn people, and later even developed to the point that as long as they were attached to these things, they were all scolded correctly.

The most terrible thing is that Huang Yueying is a woman, and men will be said to be talking about this thing, let alone a girl. This is her father Huang Chengyan is relatively open-minded, seeing that Huang Yueying reads well, and doesn't go out much, he just turns a blind eye, otherwise...... Basically, what the consequences will be are conceivable.

It is precisely because of this that Huang Yueying fell in love with Zhuge Liang, who was also very interested in mechanical skills, at least there would be no rejection, but Zhuge Liang was away all the year round and did not go home, so Huang Yueying could not find people with "like-minded" people to talk about these things that she was interested in. Now that I suddenly found that Lu Ren was "proficient in this way", and not only did not reject it, but could also use it at a practical level, my interest naturally came. But don't get me wrong here, Huang Yueying is purely a kind of person who has found a good person in mechanics, and there are no other ideas.

It's a bit off, so I'll stop there. Anyway, Huang Yueying at this time actually regretted that she had given Lu Ren an eviction order at the beginning, but she had already issued an eviction order to Lu Ren before, and now if she wants to change her words, she will always be a little embarrassed on her face. I wanted to talk to Lu Ren more, but it was already late after all. If she doesn't go on the road, she may not be able to return to her mother's house in Xiangyang at night. In desperation, Huang Yueying could only say goodbye to Lu Ren when she was almost there, but asked Jiang You to go to her house when she had time.

Lu Ren has been mixed up for so many years, and Huang Yueying's changed opinion of him, Lu Ren naturally saw it. However, Lu Ren didn't dare to go beyond what he should be afraid of, so he said goodbye to Huang Yueying in time, and then took Minchan back to Xiangyang. And when the person was in the car, Minchan looked at Lu Ren's thoughtful appearance, couldn't help but smile and asked, "What?" Got a crush on someone else? ”

Lu Ren said dumbly: "Go and go, don't joke!" ”

Minchan laughed again: "Then what are you thinking?" ”

Lu Ren said: "You also saw Zhuge Liang that day, although he is still young, he has only learned people, and he is a character worth befriending, but this time it is not a coincidence, and I don't know when I will be able to meet him again." In addition, I really didn't expect Mrs. Huang's mechanism skills to be so amazing. So I suddenly thought, if I have the chance, I would like to invite the couple to our Yizhou for a few months. ”

"Do you want to drag Kong Ming and his wife to our Yizhou?"

Lu Ren shook his head: "No, I can't pull them, otherwise there will be deviations in the current situation that I can't predict, and it is likely that there will only be disadvantages but no benefits for us Yizhou." What I mean by this is just inviting them to play, and getting them to have a good impression of our Yizhou, and then we can have a good cooperative relationship. Especially Huang Yueying's agency skills, if they cooperate well, she may be able to help us Yizhou get a lot of good things that save labor. As for Kong Ming, ......"

Minchan was looking forward to Lu Ren's next words, but Lu Ren didn't say anything. Because Kong Ming may promote the cooperative relationship between Lu Ren and Liu Bei, it is really inconvenient to say it at the moment, after all, no one is really optimistic about Liu Bei now, so no one would have thought that Jingzhou would be Liu Bei's territory in the future......
