"Madam, isn't this set of steel armor very powerful? The outside is a bright light breastplate with a chimeric scale armor, and the inner lining is a rhinestone-skinned pig-porn dragon-skinned skin. This cloak is made of white tiger skin from the Duguo prefect Li Hui, who was given by Yongchang Prefecture. It is really warm in the winter and is very suitable. This folding fan is replaced with a stucco iron fan bone, which is just right, and it matches the sword and gold crown."

As the work of supervising Zhang Yi ended, the end of the year was approaching, Li Su naturally had to prepare to go back to Chengdu. After getting the latest armor, he couldn't help but try it on for a day, and then came back to show off his wife, showing off his rare demeanor of being in the general and being in the same place, and asked his wife to pack her luggage.

"It's just that." Unexpectedly, Cai Yan just glanced at him slightly, then lowered his head to do his own thing, and wrote something there, which looked like a Han Fu.

Li Su was slightly surprised: Is this taking gunpowder?

But Li Su didn't think much about it and sat next to Cai Yan: "I'm thirsty~"

Xiuser hurriedly came over to pour the tea, but Zhou Ying grabbed the pot with one hand and poured a bowl himself, but didn't take it over.

Li Su waited for a few seconds, and turned her head to notice that Zhou Ying was looking at him with a tea bowl. Only then did he realize that the girl had something to say, so he walked over and took the tea bowl in a stern manner.

Zhou Ying took advantage of Li Su's tea and whispered in an inaudible way Cai Yan said, "I'm still angry. That day my husband said that the poem written by my sister was a vulgar word. She said that you were wearing iron armor and wanted you to admit your mistake. I didn't hear this? I'll admit my mistake quickly, and it's okay if I admit it."

Li Su was speechless for a while: Didn’t he do anything before he went into seclusion? It’s been several days since he came back, and he still remembers his grudges?

Li Su: "No, right? Do you still remember it? Are you real or fake?"

Zhou Ying stamped her feet in a hurry: "You yelled at her! How long will it take for a woman to remember? Quickly! Otherwise, I would have reminded you, you will be dishonest!"

Although Li Su was straight, he knew that he could make a quick decision to solve the problem with the least cost. When he said this, he also made a quick decision.

Isn’t it just a few good things to say, and I say a few words earlier and say ten or eight words later. I am not afraid of my wife, but to save money.

He immediately took off the poisonous white tiger skin cloak he had just obtained, walked behind Cai Yan, and put it on his wife without saying anything.

Cai Yan shook her shoulders and couldn't help sobbing slightly: "Who wants your vulgar things?"

Li Su said with great righteousness and ripeness: "The mountains are not high, but there are immortals, but there are names, but there are waters, but there are dragons. The white tiger skin is a killing thing, and it is of course a vulgar thing when I put it on me. But it is also elegant when I put it on a strange woman like my wife who has a bright and elegant mouth.

Maybe this white tiger is a talented woman who knows in the dark that her wife is a talented woman who wrote the Han Dynasty "Biography of the Southwest Yi". As a specialty of poisonous body, the white tiger is afraid of being buried in history, so she fell into the trap and left a name for her species in history."

Li Su just doesn't care about coaxing women. As long as someone reminds him to be careful, he will pile up his IQ and insights into this field, and there is nothing he can't get.

After Rainbow trained her with good words, Cai Yan found the steps and stopped getting angry. She stretched over the paper in front of her and gave Li Su a chance to comment on how she wrote the new half of the essay.

Li Su took it and saw that it was indeed much more neat than the one who took it on the boat at the time. He was purely praising the original wilderness of the land, which is now so prosperous in the market.

"Four ports are breathable, nine cities are dragon scales, hundreds of boats and thousands of sails, and the carvings are carried by Lumin. The Han Yi is skillful, and Bi Ji is a city. Among them are the stars of Xiangxiong, Yelang, Ailao ivory, Linyi Jiahe, and various different species come from thousands of miles away, either exceeding the peak of Kunlun, or crossing the Buzhou Ruoshui..."

Since there are no sentences praising industrial pollution, Li Su can still praise it. After a moment of thinking, he realized that his wife's fu was imitated by Ban Gu's "The Fu of Xidu"—

In fact, let alone Cai Yan, after Ban Gu got up early in the Eastern Han Dynasty and finished writing "The Fu of the Western Capital", until Zuo Si of the Western Jin Dynasty wrote "The Fu of the Three Capitals", which caused the allusion of "The Paper in Luoyang is expensive", literati for more than two hundred years did not break out of this style when writing articles to praise the prosperity of cities and industries.

Knowing the opponent's routine, Li Su of course understood how to praise it: "Madam's article is probably too much as Ban Gu's "Xidu Fu". If it is circulated back to Chengdu and attracts scholars to copy and print, it is probably going to make Chengdu's paper expensive again..."

Since the idiom "Luoyang Paper is expensive" is historically praised Zuo Si for surpassing Ban Gu in this type of vocabulary, Li Su's use of describing his wife is of course very conspicuous.

Moreover, he knew that Cai Yan had always been holding back his energy, and wanted to compete with Patriarch Zhao for his historical contributions and keep his reputation in literature and history. Now he praised her for checking Ban Gu, how could Cai Yan not be happy? After all, Ban Zhao just helped his brother Ban Gu complete some final supplementary work. Being surpassed Ban Gu wouldn’t it be like going far beyond Ban Zhao.

Cai Yan was really overjoyed when he heard this: "Hmph, I forgive you. I did not write the limerick that day. I didn't blame you."

Cai Yan surrendered so thoroughly, not because she was easy to fool. She actually thought about the possibility of "Is her husband deliberately flattering me?" But she didn't think that the artistic conception of "Chengdu paper is expensive" would be something a person who wants to flatter and thinks of a dirty soul with such dirty motives.

The beautiful picture is depicted so sincerely, it must be a heartfelt praise.

In addition, Cai Yan didn't hear Zhou Ying's quiet reminder just now, and the resentment of drawing circles of fingers completely dissipated.

Zhou Ying looked at her secretly ashamed. Li Su was clearly comforting Cai Yan, but she felt that the ground was red and her ears were weak and her legs were weak: My husband is so amazing. He just disdains to coax women. Once he becomes serious and is willing to take care of himself, it is simply a sentence that can make the talented woman be hit by the center.

But I just refuse to use this intention.

...

The next morning, all the wives, concubines and maids who were convinced were packed up, put their luggage on the boat, and returned to Chengdu. Li Su brought twenty sets of armor and prepared to give them to the generals as gifts when holding a New Year banquet.

He would not give it all, after all, only Zhang Fei is the highest-level person in Chengdu now, so he has to keep more than half of it, and then he will send guests from Chang'an.

I had to sail against the current when I returned. The boat drove for two more days and arrived in Chengdu five days later. It was already late in the twelfth lunar month.

Li Su asked people to arrange a program in the provincial government office and his marquis' mansion, and then he would have to intensive banquets and listen to the report. Many officials who were busy in other places would also return to Chengdu at this time.

This was the case in the officialdom during the Han Dynasty. If you become the top leader in the local area and listen to reports from lower-level officials, you will be in a series of banquets. Just like when Liu Bei was at Liu Biao, when he encountered a bumper harvest and the autumn grain harvest was harvested and winter storage was stored, Liu Biao had to invite officials from nine counties to dinner. When Liu Biao was sick, he had to invite Liu Bei to accompany him to drink, otherwise he would have the opportunity to be rigged over Tanxi by Cai Mao.

Halfway through the arrangement, Zhang Fei first brought a group of martial arts to join in the fun and enjoy the good things. Li Su first took a few pairs of armor for Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei's eyes lit up and he accepted it with satisfaction, but he disliked the oxide layer outside the armor was not dense enough, not as dark as the black armor. Who made him used to wearing the black armor?

Li Su smiled and scolded Zhang Fei and asked him to go back. The nail plate was polished until it was rough and matte, so that it was rusted for a month and then applied to the maintenance phytic acid oil, which would have the effect.

In addition to Zhang Fei, Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, the generals who are currently staying in Shu, also received armor and thanked them one by one.

Li Su looked at them all who had never seen the world and thought to himself: Wait aside, if the cost is allowed in the future, I can find a way to get the whole body armor, but now I can use this to make do with it. At least it is better to protect it than the existing fish scale armor. (This question is not too watery here, after all, most readers don’t care. If you are interested, please read my free single chapter explanation later. I don’t want to use technical discussion to describe water)

As for the plate armor, Li Su of course knew that the plate armor had higher defense. Moreover, the most well-made and most sensitive joint movements in Western history have very little constraints on people's activities. But it is impossible to use stamping technology to standardize large-scale processing. It is too expensive. If it weren't for the Earl of the Earl in history, it wouldn't be able to use the flexible and fine plate armor in history, so it is not a problem that Li Su is eager to solve at present.

When you have free time in the future, you can consider it when you give a small meal to the top general, but now he is solving the problem of the overall equipment upgrade of nearly 10,000 heavy cavalrymen.

The cost is not reflected in the amount of steel, but in the labor cost of armor craftsmen. The top-quality plate armor and six curved steel sheets with a shoulder joint must be achieved in each size. The curvature of the arc is different. So you must not let the fitter smash it with one hammer? How many craftsmen have to be trained? How much time does it take to master the processing size of each component? Can it be compared with the stamping equipment that can be opened at any time when you find someone?

In the 21st century, when I walked outside the Sanhe Manpower Market in Shenzhen, I knew how low the technical requirements of stamping workers were. I also wanted to recruit Sanhe masters to get a daily salary of 150 yuan a day, and work for more than 12 hours. I just need to put the metal in and take it out after pressing.

After sending away the military generals, Li Su soon ushered in a wave of civil servants who reported their duties.

The prefects of each county have no unexpected events to report, and some of them are promoted by Li Su this year.

In the last two days of the end of the twelfth lunar month, it was Diannong Zhonglang's turn to return to Chengdu and visit him to report his work. Li Su vaguely felt that Guo Yuan was good at studying and was very pragmatic, and would definitely bring him some problems and additional gains.

Li Su's expectations are indeed correct. Guoyuan has been responsible for promoting the cultivation of Linyi rice in the past two years and also promoting body toxic long-tail cotton. The two have been planted for at most two or three years respectively. As expected, they have accumulated a lot of problems, but their achievements are also significant.

As soon as the two met, Li Su personally poured tea and wine for Guoyuan, encouraging and commending: "Zi Ni, I have worked hard for the past two years, but if you insist on persisting, the court will send troops to pacify Guo Si next year. It has been three years since you first taught the people to plant poisonous white flowers, right?

You also said that white laminates require a dry and sunny climate, and there are not many kinds of them in Shu. Next year, the rice and Hexi Corridor will be planted in a wide range, which will also help the imperial court to naturalize the Qiang people. If you work hard for two years, the Qiang people will get used to farming and wearing cotton coats, I report to the emperor to serve as the deputy position of the Grand Secretary Liu Ba. If the nine ministers are transferred in the future, the civil affairs will persuade farmers and separate them from the tax and tax branches, you and Zichu will have the hope of the nine ministers."

Although Guoyuan had many people who wanted to complain, the leader had first appointed officials and made wishes to block him, so he stopped complaining for the time being and drank the toast wine first.
