Chapter 466: Changing the Ming Dynasty, Li Wu wants to be a deliveryman
As August approaches, even the mornings are stuffy, especially in the densely populated military camps.
Just by opening the curtain of the military tent, you can feel the unique summer heat coming towards you.
It drowns people in an instant, making it hard to breathe.
However, compared to the past, today's soldiers are still bored, but also have more expectations.
The news has spread in the army that starting from tomorrow, the things called "showers" placed in the rear camp will be laid out all around the military camp, and will be able to accommodate at least 500 people to take a bath together.
It is no longer like before, where everyone can only get a small basin of water.
Just sprinkle it on yourself before going to bed to get a moment of coolness.
Some soldiers in the army, after experiencing the pleasure of taking a shower and being soaked in cold water,
They never want to go back to the old way of taking a bath which is time-consuming, laborious and unpleasant.
This expectation was soon noticed by Liu Heiying who was driven back to the camp.
He walked in the military camp with his personal guards and Li Wudi, and saw the soldiers whispering to each other excitedly. He thought that they had received rewards from the court.
After asking several soldiers, Liu Heiying finally realized that something new had been created.
The group went around in circles and soon arrived at the army's tent.
It was no different from an ordinary military tent, except that there were some soldiers guarding it, and a line of craftsmen hurried in and out, holding blueprints in their hands.
Liu Heiying looked surprised and ordered Hu Xiaowu:
"Take him to another military tent first."
He looked at Li Wu, who looked anxious.
"My Lord still has things to do. I will see you when I am done."
Li Wu nodded repeatedly, his heart filled with excitement and gratitude:
"Of course, of course, my lord, please be busy first."
After Li Wu was taken away, Liu Heiying walked into the military tent!
ho-
As soon as he entered the military tent, he was shocked by the scene before him.
The places where maps, sand tables and round tables were originally placed were now vacated.
The ground was full of people. Several highly skilled craftsmen in the army were sitting around a pile of parts on the ground, thinking hard. From time to time, they would pick them up and gesture with them, and some of them would whisper to each other.
There was no sign of Liu Heiying's arrival.
The desk at the innermost part of the military tent was even more chaotic.
Piles of waste paper took up the space where the documents were originally stored, and the same was true on the ground, with no place to step.
Brother Yun'er, who had only been gone for a day, did not look like a general in the army, nor did he look like a handsome young man.
He looked more like a poor man, with a dirty face, messy hair, greasy face and sunken eyes.
It’s worth mentioning that the only familiar thing is the deep dark circles under the eyes.
Liu Heiying quietly walked past the craftsmen and came to the desk.
Before he could speak, Lu Yunyi's hoarse voice came over:
"What's going on? Which part is broken?"
Lu Yunyi took a casual glance and saw Liu Heying, whose face was flushed and looked a little tired.
"Black Hawk? You still remember to come back?"
Liu Heiying nodded repeatedly: "What's going on?"
He pointed at the chaotic and complicated environment in the military tent with a strange look on his face, his face full of dullness.
"Come and help, this is a gift prepared for His Highness Yunxun. If you don't hurry up, it will be too late."
Lu Yunyi had no intention of greeting him and handed him a handful of drawings.
"have a look."
Liu Heiying took the papers blankly and looked at them one by one. All kinds of strange parts were distributed on the drawings, with sharp edges and corners.
Soon the confusion in his heart spread to his eyes.
what is this?
"Oh, I forgot to give you the blueprint."
Lu Yunyi began to search back and forth on the desk, and soon found a crumpled drawing and handed it over:
“This is the final look, but now there are some difficulties to overcome.
We haven’t found the optimal solution for material selection and load-bearing structure. Let’s think of a solution together.”
Liu Heiying put away his smile and began to look carefully at the drawings in his hand.
Lu Yunyi looked at the time and saw that it was already noon, so he said:
"We still have four hours.
Within these four hours, we must finalize the plan and complete the assembly experiment!"
At this point, Lu Yunyi looked at Liu Heiying solemnly, and said in a serious voice:
"This thing is very important, more important than the cart and the telescope.
Once we get it right this time, we will go down in history and the entire Ming Dynasty will be different."
Lu Yunyi's voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing throughout the tent!
Liu Heiying's face became more solemn. He participated in the design and production of many new gadgets in the army, but none of them could make Brother Yuner so serious.
At this time, many craftsmen who were busy in the military tent also raised their heads and looked upward, with solemnity and faint excitement on their faces.
After a busy morning, they have clearly realized that
This thing is extraordinary. What the adults said is right. They will go down in history.
I saw a pair of eyes looking at me!
Lu Yunyi felt his heart surge. He stood up and looked at everyone in the military tent.
The whole body exudes desolation and depression, but the sharpness and heroism are not diminished at all:
"Everyone, please use all your life's knowledge to complete this task. The Ming Dynasty will change because of us."
The craftsmen below were stunned. Old Lu originally thought that the adult would say something passionate, but he didn't expect it to be so bland.
But, these words are so thrilling.
Will the Ming Dynasty change because of us?
As a craftsman, Old Lu never thought that this sentence would happen to him.
This made his old face more emotional, and the blood that had been flowing slowly for a long time seemed to boil at this moment.
He looked down at the most important part in his hand, nodded imperceptibly, and said in his heart with an extremely affirmative tone:
"Yes, the Ming Dynasty will change because of us. It is not shameful to be a craftsman."
Old Lu lowered his head and pulled himself together.
In an instant, he entered a state of working with all his strength, and the other craftsmen were almost the same!
For a moment, the military tent became quiet.
But the hot temperature became more and more intense, probably because their passion ignited this place.
The entire military tent was tightly surrounded, and no one was allowed to approach except a group of craftsmen. A tense atmosphere began to spread in the camp.
Not far away, Li Wu sat stiffly in the military tent.
He didn't dare touch the fruits on the table. He just sipped the tea in the cup and waited anxiously.
Time passed by minute by minute, half an hour, one hour, two hours, and finally four hours!
Li Wu's mood was filled with anxiety.
He had already eaten a lot of the fruits and vegetables on the table. The food in the army was also good, but it could not relieve the anxiety in his heart.
What happened? Did the Lord not want to see me? Then why did you keep me here?
Surrounded by all kinds of emotions, he paced back and forth in the room.
He just felt his scalp itchy and kept scratching it.
At this moment, cheers suddenly came from the military tent not far away, which scared Li Wu!
He hurried to the door of the military tent and looked through the gap at the central military tent.
I saw that the place was still heavily guarded.
But the guards were obviously not as serious and stern as they were in the morning. Instead, there was a faint smile on their faces.
Seeing this scene, for some reason, Li Wu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the adults were really busy.
He began to adjust his sleeves and wipe the sweat from his forehead, hoping to keep himself presentable.
I also started to think about what to say next.
In the central army tent, Lu Yunyi slumped in a chair.
After working intensively for six hours, he felt weak all over and dizzy. He didn't even have the energy to control his hands that were hanging by his sides.
But when he saw the big wooden box standing in the military tent, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
The same was true for the craftsmen sitting in various places in the military tent, they were tired but satisfied.
After resting for a while, until the afternoon sun came in,
Lu Yunyi sat up straight with tiredness and looked at everyone present: "Okay, everyone go back and have a good rest.
The quartermaster will give you a reward. What happened today cannot be disclosed to the outside world. Everything must be studied after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has read it. "
"Yes!"
The craftsmen climbed up one after another, their faces filled with excitement.
For them, it is a great honor to participate in the creation of a great object.
Not to mention offering rewards, even without any rewards, they will still do it.
As a group of craftsmen left in twos and threes.
Lu Yunyi looked at the chaotic and complicated military tent, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
The research and development of each new object is a paper-consuming project.
He looked towards the entrance of the tent and shouted:
"First, clean up the general's tent and burn all the papers, leaving no trace."
"Yes!"
Lu Yunyi stood up and walked to the side, sitting with Liu Heying. This was one of the few clean places in the military tent.
"Brother Yun'er, this thing is great, how did you come up with it?"
Lu Yunyi smiled and said, "It's a wonderful idea, I found it by chance."
Liu Heiying has heard this statement countless times.
He curled his lips and didn't take it seriously, thinking that Brother Yun'er was just making excuses.
"Where did you hang out yesterday?" Lu Yunyi asked.
Liu Heiying sat up straight and said, "Brother Yun'er, I am doing serious work.
I was busy at the fruit and vegetable market for a long time yesterday, and now I can open for business after some preparations.”
"Have you found everyone?"
"The recruitment is ready. The shopkeeper is an old man in the family. He has been in the fruit business for many years and has rich experience.
The clerks and accountants are looking for people who are down-to-earth and hard-working.
By the way, if some disabled soldiers in the army want to quit the army,
You can also work in a fruit and vegetable shop, which provides some light work, and can be considered a way to settle down. "
Lu Yunyi had no doubts about Liu Heiying's efficiency. He asked:
"Didn't you go to the brothel at night?"
As soon as these words were spoken, both of them could sense that the soldiers who were cleaning the tent paused.
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Liu Heiying's eyes, but he quickly found a reason and evaded the question:
"Brother Yun'er, isn't Hu Xiaowu still obsessed with that woman?
Yesterday I found a good brothel and let him experience what money can do.
Guess what, today he is not complaining anymore."
Lu Yunyi thought for a long time before he remembered the entanglement between Hu Xiaowu and Xue Lan, and was a little surprised:
"Does he still remember? He was the most ruthless one at the beginning."
Liu Heiying waved his hand with a powerful gesture:
“The opposite of love is never hate, but indifference.
Xiaowu hated Xue Lan so much, but this was also a kind of love.
But from now on, I shouldn't hate you anymore.
There are so many good women in this world, why bother hanging yourself on a tree? "
Liu Heiying began his true love story.
The guards who were cleaning the military tent couldn't help but slow down their movements, intending to take careful notes.
Lu Yunyi, noticing this, rolled his eyes and waved his hand:
"Clean up quickly, don't listen to his crooked ideas, taking the right path is better than anything else."
Liu Heiying also smiled and nodded.
"Yes, Brother Yun'er is right.
Love is about attraction, not pursuit, you guys should remember this."
As soon as these words were spoken, the guards' eyes suddenly lit up and they quickly took note of them.
Liu Heiying looked at Lu Yunyi with some pride and raised his chin towards him:
"See, Brother Yun'er? This is word of mouth."
Lu Yunyi ignored him and was thinking about the rules of going to the Prince's Mansion later. He had to think carefully about everything he said and did.
Now he was in a daze, trying not to make a mistake.
At this moment, Liu Heiying suddenly thought of something and sat up straight:
"Oh no, how could I forget about him!"
"Who?"
"Li Wu, I met him at the city gate."
Liu Heiying then told Li Wu how he met him and why he came.
Lu Yunyi blinked, looked at the time, and then smiled:
"Call him in. He is also a great contributor to this trip to Luchuan."
"Okay, I'll go call him now."
Liu Heiying left in a hurry, while Lu Yunyi stood up and walked to the side, combed his hair, washed his face, and took a steamed bun from the table and put it in his mouth.
He began to look around the big box in the military tent, with a gleam in his eyes!
After a while, hurried footsteps sounded at the entrance of the military tent.
Lu Yunyi looked back and saw Liu Heiying walking in with Li Wu, who was dressed simply.
Li Wu is still the same as before, full of reserve, simplicity, and a little honest.
Li Wu was excited to see General Lu, whom he had been thinking about for a long time.
He quickly stepped forward and pretended to kneel down and kowtow, but Liu Heiying pulled him back and smiled:
"This is the military, there are no such rules."
Li Wu was pulled up and bowed:
"Commander Li Wu pays homage to General Lu."
"Why are you being so polite? Come and sit down."
Lu Yunyi returned to his desk, sat down, and ate the last bite of steamed bun.
Liu Heiying took two stools and placed them opposite the desk.
After both of them sat down, Lu Yunyi looked at him with interest and asked:
"I heard that you want to drive?"
Li Wu nodded repeatedly, looking a little embarrassed:
"Business, General, since I got a new car, I have been transporting bulk goods near Jubao Gate and have earned some money."
At this point, Li Wu pursed his lips a little embarrassedly:
“I saw that this was a profitable business, so I thought about opening a car dealership.
But I don't know the ins and outs of this, and I'm afraid I'll lose everything, so I've been waiting for the general to come back, hoping to ask for some advice."
Lu Yunyi narrowed his eyes slightly and tapped the table lightly with his fingers.
"Hauling goods? This is not an easy job. The road is long and winding, with many bandits and robbers. Are you confident?"
Li Wu shook his head quickly and said, "General, you misunderstood. I found that some merchants traveled all over the country and only stopped at the city gates, and did not enter the city in large groups.
Instead, I want to hire someone to deliver the goods to a designated shop in the city. I want to do this business.
I dare not deceive you, sir. I have accumulated some regular customers over the past few days.
But I only have one car and one person, so I always delay business.
I then thought of buying a few more carts and hiring people to transport the goods."
Lu Yunyi's face looked a little strange after hearing this. It sounded like a deliveryman's business.
Seeing Li Wu's expectant expression, Lu Yunyi nodded:
"It sounds like a good business. Let me do the math for you."
"Thank you, sir!" Li Wu was very excited!
