One kick to the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 415
"What's the current situation in Chang'an?" After talking about the edict, Qin Yi changed the subject and asked Xi Zhicai.

Xi Zhicai said: "The situation in Chang'an has stabilized. Wang Yun pardoned Dong Zhuo's generals in the Xiliang Army and let them keep their duties. However, because Niu Fu was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he was implicated and was demoted by Dong Zhuo. , sent to guard Tongguan."

"Is this news reliable?" Qin Yi asked.

Xi Zhicai said: "After my lord led his troops and left, I sent people to Chang'an to inquire about it. When the envoy from Chang'an came to deliver the edict, I also asked about it, and the situation was basically consistent with what the spies we sent to inquire about."

After hearing Xi Zhicai's words, Qin Yi thought to himself: Wang Yun seems to have accepted his advice, and did not punish Dong Zhuojun's generals as in the past.This is a good result.It's just that history has turned such a big corner again, and for me, the future situation is even more difficult to grasp.

It's messed up, it's all messed up, even though it's only been a year since I traveled to this time and space, history has changed beyond recognition.

At this moment, Qin Yi let out a long yawn.Xi Zhicai saw it, and said: "My lord, Zilong, Zhongjie, Fengxiao, and Yuan Shao must have been exhausted after driving for so long. Why don't you take a rest first, what's the matter, how about discussing it tomorrow?"

"Okay, okay, those who know me are talented!" Before Qin Yi could express his opinion, Guo Jia nodded hastily.He is a frail scholar, traveling thousands of miles with the army, his body has long been unable to bear it.

"Okay, then according to Mr.'s words, we can discuss things tomorrow."

………………

On the first day back to Zhangzi County, Qin Yi had a good night's sleep.Early the next morning, he sent Zhang Liao to the Second Hall.

After Zhang Liao arrived, Qin Yi chatted with Zhang Liao for a while, and then proposed to visit Zhang Liao's mother and younger brother.Zhang Liao pushed back, but Qin Yi insisted, so Zhang Liao and Qin Yi left the government office.

Both of them were in casual clothes, and they didn't ride horses, they only walked.

Xi Zhicai arranged for Zhang Liao's family to live in the small courtyard where Cai Yan used to live, very close to the government office.

After Cai Yong came to Changzi County, Qin Yi allocated Qiu Rui's residence that was previously confiscated to Cai Yong, and Cai Yan moved out of this small courtyard to live with Cai Yong.

When they came to the small courtyard, they saw Zhang Liao's mother and younger brother.Zhang Liao's mother was only in her forties. In the era Qin Yi lived before, women of this age were still in their prime, but in this time and space, women in their forties were already in their prime. Called himself "Old Body".

Zhang Liao's younger brother looks sixteen or seventeen years old, perhaps because he has been doing farm work for many years. His complexion is a bit dark, but his eyes are very bright.He is not like a villager who has never seen the world in his dealings with others. On the contrary, he is polite, neither humble nor overbearing.

When Zhang's mother learned that Qin Yi was the governor of Bingzhou, she hurriedly took Zhang Liao's younger brother to salute Qin Yi.How could Qin Yi dare to accept this gift? He immediately stepped aside and said to Zhang's mother, "Auntie, please don't do this. Wen Yuan and I are brothers, and you are my elder!"

Afterwards, Zhang's mother asked Zhang Liao's younger brother to make tea, and Qin Yi chatted with Zhang's mother for a while, asking about their move to Changzi County.Finally, Qin Yi told Zhang's mother that if there is anything needed, just tell Zhang Liao, and Qin Yi will definitely arrange for someone to bring it.

After staying at Zhang Liao's house for about half an hour, Qin Yi and Zhang Liao returned to the government office.

Afterwards, Qin Yi called Guo Jia and Pei Ji, and rode to Cai Yong's house to visit Cai Yong.

Cai Yong was very busy during this period. While he was busy with the history of Han Dynasty, he also had to take care of the preparations for the academy.Although Xi Zhicai arranged for someone to do these things, Cai Yong will be the head of the academy in the future, so naturally he will not be the shopkeeper, and often runs to the academy.

Perhaps because he was reunited with his daughter and found something he was interested in doing, Qin Yi found that Cai Yong's mental complexion had changed greatly compared to when he was in Chang'an. His face was rosy and he seemed to be at least five years younger.

During the conversation with Qin Yi, Cai Yong urged Qin Yi to quickly recruit teachers who teach and teach, so that the academy can open as soon as possible and recruit students.

Qin Yi introduced Guo Jia to Cai Yong, and said that Guo Jia is from Yingchuan, and Yingchuan is a place where humanities are flourishing. He intends to ask Guo Jia to recommend some scholars from Yingchuan, write to them, and invite them to Zhangzi County.

Seeing that Qin Yi had made arrangements, Cai Yong felt relieved.

Qin Yi, Guo Jia, and Pei Ji stayed at Cai Yong's house for half an hour, and the conversation with Cai Yong basically revolved around the establishment of the academy.

What made Qin Yi slightly regretful was that he did not see Cai Yan.Cai Yan now lives with Cai Yong and has become the rich daughter again. Cai Yong will naturally not let Cai Yan show up in the public eye again.

………………

Qin Yi's main task today is to drop by.In the morning, he went to Zhang Liao's house and Cai Yong's house.In the afternoon, he took Guo Jia and Zhang Liao to the Huangshiya Iron Mine.

The reason why Guo Jia and Zhang Liao were brought along was because they had just joined Qin Yi, and Qin Yi wanted them to see some of his important strongholds with his own eyes.At the same time, you can also show your trust in them.

Huangshiya Iron Mine reopened this year.In the early stage, Qin Yi was busy dealing with Niu Fu's attack, and only let the iron mine operate according to the previous management mode.After defeating Niu Fu, he reorganized the iron mine.Today, the iron mine has been in operation for two months after its reorganization.

However, it is still in the trial operation period, and the ore and steel produced have not been sold outside.On the one hand, craftsmen still use the old method to smelt ore and make farm tools.On the other hand, the Iron Mine has set up a research and development department, where skilled craftsmen try out the new smelting technology provided by Qin Yi, explore and accumulate experience.

Wang Heng, the chairman of the Iron Mine Management Chamber of Commerce, has already moved to live in the iron mine.After Qin Yi arrived, he asked Wang Heng about the operation of the iron mine, and then asked Wang Heng to lead them to visit the R&D office.

The R&D Department is the most important department of the iron mine, guarded by heavy soldiers, and the work of keeping secrets is quite well done.

After Qin Yi came to the R&D department, he listened to the work report of the head of the R&D department.The principal told Qin Yi that they had practiced a lot of furnace steel with the new smelting technology provided by Qin Yi.At present, this set of technology has been basically penetrated.After smelting a few furnaces of steel to verify the feasibility of this technology, it can be implemented in iron mines.

The chief also led Qin Yi to the warehouse, took some weapons, and showed them to Qin Yi and Zhang Liao.These weapons are all made of steel smelted by new smelting technology.

Qin Yi tried it with a Han sword on the spot.He asked Zhang Liao to use his saber to strike at the Han sword. As a result, Zhang Liao's saber broke a big hole at the first stroke, but the Han sword in Qin Yi's hand was not damaged.Shocked, Zhang Liao slashed three times with the Han sword in Qin Yi's hand.At the third stroke, Zhang Liao's saber was finally overwhelmed and broke in two.

However, the Han sword in Qin Yi's hand had only a small gap, which could not be seen without looking carefully.

Surprised and delighted, Zhang Liao asked Qin Yi for the Han sword on the spot.Qin Yi generously gave the sword to Zhang Liao.

After personally verifying the weapons made of steel obtained with the new steelmaking technology, Qin Yi is very satisfied with the iron ore work.

As a result, his confidence was also built up.No matter how difficult the future is, I have a golden finger to help me, what else is there to be afraid of?
