Chapter 92 The old horse from Shaanxi
Sun Ce immediately frowned and shook his head and said, "How is this possible? Father left Yuan Shu because he didn't want to be controlled by others. How could he leave Yuan Shu and turn to serve another person? Moreover, if father really had someone loyal back then, we would have taken When it comes to Yuxi, wouldn't my father hand over Yuxi to that person? How could he think of keeping it for himself?"

"Father didn't say that he wanted to keep the jade seal for himself!"

Sun Quan immediately retorted: "That was all told by you brothers, father will make such a decision in the end!"

"How is that possible? The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes."

Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan, with a little displeasure in his eyes, and said, "You mean, my uncles and I forced my father to make such a decision to betray his allegiance for Yuxi? Alright! Go back to sleep!" "

After saying that, Sun Ce stopped Sun Quan from talking, and directly picked him up by the waist, and walked to the bedroom.

But even though they didn't care about what Sun Quan just said, Sun Ce and others also realized one thing, that is, if they want to find something for everyone in Jiangdong, they should find that mysterious golden-faced military adviser.

"However... I can't go to the military adviser empty-handed, right? We are all dependent on others at the moment, but there is nothing we can get out of it..."

Sun Ce returned to the room and showed his hands to several generals.

But at this time Han Dang suddenly said:

"Did the Major General forget that...after we were rescued that day, we captured a group of maids and some antiques that Yuan Shao didn't have time to take away from the barracks where Yuan Shao escaped?"

"Didn't those things...was taken away by General Huang Zhong?"

Sun Ce frowned and looked at Han Dang with a puzzled expression.

But Han Dang shook his head and said: "General Huang Zhong doesn't pay much attention to these things. Our army suffered heavy losses when we were beaten by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's troops, and the general even died. So on the way back, General Huang Zhong Give us all the seized luggage and maids, and let us use those things to reorganize and appease the soldiers when we come back."

"It's just that in the past few days, everyone has been busy with the general's funeral, so this matter has been left unattended. Whether it's the maids or those antiques, they are all well placed in the camp, and everything is not bad! I think Since the golden-faced military commander usually shows his face as a military division, he must be a person who understands antiquities, and I have never heard of the military division having any maids... The major general might as well give those maids and antiques to the military division, so that Once it comes, the major general won’t have to go empty-handed.”

"As for the reorganization of our army, although we currently have no opportunity to train, there are still no problems with food and grass. It will only take a while for the morale of the soldiers to slowly recover."

Sun Ce rubbed his chin, "Wen Wan and the maid..."

……

On this day, Liu Bian had just returned to his residence from the street, and was about to ask Shangguan Wan'er about the progress of the previous matters, but unexpectedly, when he came to Shangguan Wan'er's garden, he saw her and Mulan playing with each other. holding a model of a loom.

This loom is obviously different from the current style, and Liu Bian's eyes are also brightened.

"Lord!"

Mulan's five senses were more sensitive, she turned her head away from the sound of Liu Bian's footsteps coming in, and her eyes lit up when she saw that it was Liu Bian coming in.

"Oh! It seems to have a good shape!"

Liu Bian stepped forward with a smile, looked at the loom that was already in operation, nodded in satisfaction and said, "You two did a good job!"

"This is all thanks to Wan'er. I have never seen this type of loom! It is ten times more efficient than the loom we are using now!"

Mulan immediately said to Liu Bian with bright eyes: "These thoughts of Wan'er are simply too powerful! If it were me, I would definitely not be able to think of it!"

Hearing Mulan's praise, Shangguan Wan'er on the side did not show a proud look, instead she looked at Liu Bian with a reddish face and said:
"I'm ashamed. I only knew a little bit about it. If Mulan hadn't come here to explain a lot about the basic situation of the loom, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to make this loom by myself. Mulan must have half of the credit for this." .”

Seeing that the two were still evading each other, Liu Bian immediately laughed and said, "The credit belongs to both of you! Not bad! With this thing, and Wan'er's dyeing and weaving skills, it seems that I don't have to worry about missing it in the future." Money spent!"

"When will this machine be ready for use?"

Shangguan Wan'er turned her head and patted the loom with satisfaction, and said with a smile:
"This is just a prototype, and there are still some flaws in it. If we want to mass-produce it, we still need some improvements. Fortunately, in recent days, we have already had craftsmen who are familiar with the craftsmanship due to the production of prototypes. I believe that mass production is only a matter of more than a month. At that time, we will have to train some female dyers and weavers, and we will need the help of Wang Taishou, who manages the people's livelihood in the city."

Speaking of Wang Kuang, Liu Bian recalled what he had explained about the wooden plow, and immediately asked:

"By the way, speaking of this matter, have the craftsmen who made farm tools that Wang Kuang recruited made any progress on the wooden plow?"

Shangguan Wan'er sighed lightly, then shook her head and said, "Those craftsmen are actually the ones who made the looms for me. Most of them are masters of making looms, but they are not good at research...especially the ones you draw, my lord. The blueprint of the wooden plow is too far ahead, I am afraid that ordinary people really can't understand it... It's a pity that I don't know much about farming..."

"Don't blame yourself, it's not your fault."

Seeing that Shangguan Wan'er was depressed, Liu Bian comforted her softly, and then said:
"It's okay, I'll meet these craftsmen in a while, and see if they can give me some inspiration."

"Um……"

Shangguan Wan'er said: "That's just right. The leaders of the craftsmen will come to me in a while to take the prototype of this loom and go back to change it. The Lord can just ask them."

Just as he was talking, there were a few footsteps outside, and then a voice with a slightly different accent sounded outside.

"My lord! Let us get the mold for the loom!"

Liu Bian slightly raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "This Luoyang... why is there a Shaanxi native here?"

"Shaanxi people?"

Both Mulan and Shangguan Wan'er looked at Liu Bian. Only then did Liu Bian realize that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, that place should not have been called Shaanxi. He immediately smiled and told them not to care.

Shangguan Wan'er let those people in, and Liu Bian finally saw those craftsmen.

The leader among them was a man in his 30s, with a thick build and calluses on his hands. At first glance, he looked like a veteran who often played with tools.

"This is an old horse from Fufeng, Xiliang. He is the best craftsman among this group of craftsmen. He also gave me advice about the loom."
