Royal Road - Chapter 26

[Chapter 26]

In the inner room, three people were sitting around, and there was no food and drink on the table, only a cluster of bean lanterns flickered, and it couldn’t compare to the moon outside the window.

“How many days has it been? The master hasn’t called us over yet!” Wu Jiangtou couldn’t help but spoke first.

In the past few days, they have prepared many rhetoric, waiting for the homeowner to summon.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the family didn’t pay attention to them at all, and instead let the stupid son of Lao Liu’s family in Mufang get a bargain!

It is said that not only has he received a sum of money, but he has also added staff to make paper behind closed doors.

Because of the difference between the gates, Sifang is somewhat estranged.

The Willow Wood of Mufang is even more like its name.

Therefore, the relationship between Zhifang and Taofang and Mufang is relatively cold, and it is not as good as Ding Daneng of Tiefang.

Who would have thought that after the Patriarch came back, he would start with Mufang first!

This time, Wu and Jiang were in a state of confusion.

Today’s world is not as good as it used to be. If the head of the family is really fascinated and wants to help Mufang, they will be miserable!

Tian Chang sat on the main seat, and his face was a little cloudy.

These days, he was as hard as sitting on a carbon basin.

The brothers of the Wang family were not only beaten with sticks, but also driven out of the inner courtyard. It is not known whether Liang Feng’s sick child knew the details of these two people.

Those account books didn’t make a sound. I don’t know if the other party didn’t read it, or if they saw something and hid it.

This feeling of being ready to hit the cotton is simply embarrassing.

However, he couldn’t watch the chaos in his backyard first. After clearing his throat, Tian Chang said, “Two craftsmen, don’t panic. I got the news from the inner courtyard. The owner of the house had suffered a serious illness in the past two days. I

can’t see anyone anymore.”

“What?” Jiang Jiang’s head couldn’t help but be startled, “The master is seriously ill? But aren’t the newly-received episodes still practicing?”

This is also a recent news in Liangfu.

The group of silly old men circled around the main house every morning, running sweaty and panting.

When practicing without saying anything about formations, he just stood in a row, and one station lasted for more than half an hour. From time to time, he had to turn around, making his head dizzy, which was very annoying.

If Liang Feng is really seriously ill, how could Buqu still have mental training?

Tian Chang smiled sadly: “It’s just a trick, in fact, the master is so sick that he can’t get out of bed, and no one can see it. I think it’s either that I’m hurting my body by looking at the account book, or the medicine prescribed by the doctor is not very suitable for the disease. In short, he I

‘m afraid I can’t take care of myself anymore.”

Hearing this, the two craftsmen looked at each other and seemed to be moved again.

Wu Jiangtou said: “But even if he is really sick, we can’t wait for him to die on the couch. Is there no way to let him make concessions?”

Tian Chang smiled: “Of course we can’t wait. , so I only invited the two of you over today. Isn’t it the time to harvest mulberries again? There is a severe drought this year, and the mulberry leaves in the yard are almost all harvested. Brother Wu, why don’t you go and ask the master to see what to do?”

Liang The government does not raise silkworms, but there is a mulberry garden that sells a lot of mulberry leaves every spring in exchange for silk.

Although the amount of silk in exchange is not much, it is enough for the whole family.

Now it is indeed time to harvest mulberries, but Wu Jiangtou is not stupid, this is clearly letting him take the lead!

With a cold snort, he said: “Although the harvest is a big deal, but it’s not right for me to go and report it alone, right?

” “The festival is there, and no one can make a mistake. Last year, the hemp harvest in the garden also failed, and there was

a

foreign debt of 20,000 yuan on the account. The deed is here, and Brother Wu can take it.”

The deed was handed in front of Wu Jiangtou, which was obviously encouraged by money.

The method is a bit crude, but money and silk can always move people’s hearts.

Wu Jiangtou

couldn’t help but stretched out his hand to take it, and asked, “Brother Tian is too polite, but will the master of the contract really recognize it?”

Jing.” Tian Chang smiled and didn’t care about the suspicion of the other party.

“Haha, so good!”

The two sang in harmony, and Jiang Jiangtou, who was sitting beside him, also agreed with a smile of approval.

After a while, the two retired and walked out of the side courtyard where Tian Chang was.

Wu Jiangtou walked towards the house proudly, but Jiang Jiangtou made a detour and came to the pottery workshop.

It was getting late now, but the pottery kiln had not ceased fire, and several potters were busy making a batch of new products.

Seeing Jiang Jiangtou entering the door, a young man greeted him: “Dad, you’re back.”

Jiang Jiangtou nodded: “How is the goods rush?”

“This is the last batch, and it will be out of the kiln tomorrow. .But the shop said that there is no shortage of pottery recently, and they are no longer receiving goods.” The young man replied.

Jiang Jiangtou was naturally aware of this, he sighed and said, “It’s a pity that there are a few good potters in the workshop, and it’s going to be a tough life.”

“Father, what’s the matter?”

“You come.” Jiang Jiangtou pulled his son to a secluded place, and told him carefully about the conspiracy on Tianshang’s side tonight.

When Jiang Ni heard this, he immediately frowned: “This Tian Chang is very brave, I think things are going to happen!”

“Who said no?” Jiang Jiang sighed, “This man has read a few books, I’m so arrogant that I don’t know how high the sky is. I think this time the owner of the house is going to be the real one.”

This was also what Jiang Jiangtou was most worried about.

His family has made pottery for the Liang family for generations, and has experienced several family owners.

But there has never been a person like Liang Feng who will actively recruit Yongjian and reset the part.

Today is in troubled times, and having soldiers to defend yourself is the capital of establishing a family.

If what Tian Chang said was true, and the owner of the family never gave up training even when he was seriously ill, then his determination should not be underestimated.

It’s not that there are no slaves bullying the master in this world, but if the master of the family is a little stronger, it is not easy to take care of a few slaves?

What’s more, the Patriarch still has soldiers in his hands!

Jiang Ni pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: “Father, we don’t actually have to walk with Tian guests. If the master wants to revive the Liang family, he must also need some help. Since he is willing to use Liu Jiang’s head, let’s Taofang, It’s not necessarily that we lost Mufang!”

How could Jiang Jiangtou not be aware of this, but he shook his head: “Since your grandfather’s generation, the Jiang family has been selling pottery privately. If this matter is revealed, how can the master let us go?

” It has always been a thing that people hate. If Liang Feng is angry, the entire pottery workshop will only die.

Jiang Ni clenched his fist: “But if we don’t rely on the boss, can we escape this?”

This is the most crucial question.

If they follow Tian Chang all the way to the dark, can they get any good fruit to eat?

Jiang Jiang’s head seems to be rough, but his mind is extremely meticulous, and of course he can think of the consequences of the incident.

This is simply a dilemma, making it impossible to make a decision.

Jiang Jiang gritted his teeth: “How about, let’s take a look at Lao Wu first. If he loses his hand, let’s make plans.”

“It’s too late!” Jiang Ni said anxiously, “It’s better to kill them. Tell all your tricks to the master, and we can also atone for our sins.”

“But in case…”

“If both sides die, it’s better to have a fight!” Jiang Ni’s voice was extremely firm.

Looking at the expression on his son’s face, Jiang Jiangtou finally gritted his teeth: “Come on, let’s go to see the master!”

※

“Master, can you really kill the enemy with this?” In the

courtyard, Yi Yan picked up a long spear, Shake vigorously.

After a few days of rushing to make it, Mufang finally sent the spear over.

This gun is made of sword-ridge wood, two feet long, the wood is hard and flexible, and it must be held firmly with both hands.

With a firm shake, it makes a humming sound.

However, the tip of the gun does not have a metal tip, which does not seem to be very threatening.

“Naturally.” Liang Feng leaned on the table and replied with a smile, “On the battlefield, it is never a place to compare personal martial arts. Only spears and arrows are the key to victory.”

Right now, the Liang Mansion’s part has not been able to adapt to the complex formation training, and can only start with the simplest spear formation.

The confrontation between the two armies depends on the moment of the frontal charge.

As long as the spear is like a forest, and it is not moving like a mountain, it is natural to be able to win first.

Whether it’s a long-distance run, a line, or a future spear assassination, it’s all for this.

The modern army no longer emphasizes fighting with a bayonet, but the special forces and even the armed police have continued this kind of teaching. Liang Feng is no stranger to this.

He raised his finger and pointed to the place where Yiyan was holding the gun: “You are holding it too far forward, the gun is two feet long, and the back hand should be held at the end of the gun, don’t show the root of the gun, the front hand is the center of gravity, in front of the root of the gun Three feet away. Clenching both hands at the same time, applying force with the front hand, and steadying the gun with the back hand. Keep your body straight, step forward and bow when you stab, so that the waist is strong and stabbed at full speed!”

This pointer is really accurate to every one detail.

Yi Yan carefully grasped the gun as instructed, took a deep breath, and stabbed the spear with a hey sound.

It was as fast as electricity, as fierce as thunder, and there was a buzzing sound in the air.

However, Yiyan didn’t stop, quickly retracted the gun, and stabbed again.

After five consecutive stabs, he took a deep breath and stopped: “This gun is too exhausting.”

After just a few stabs, Yiyan felt his arms swell and his waist throbbing. Continuously swinging such a heavy spear.

This kid is really keen in observation. Liang Feng smiled and said, “When a spear soldier is placed on the battlefield, he can only make one blow. After one blow, the undead enemy will approach, and the spear will lose its proper function. You said what should I do at this time?”

Run?

Throwing down the gun and fighting the enemy with a knife?

Yi Yan frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said: “Another column of long spears?”

Liang Feng smiled: “Yes, the spear array can be used in two or three columns, stripping away the enemy’s strength layer by layer. When the two armies officially confront each other, , our army will have a great advantage.”

Back then, Alexander the Great, who was invincible in Eurasia, relied on the Macedonian phalanx composed of spearmen. The six-tiered spearmen were like an invincible existence, and they could destroy the Roman legions using short weapons in an instant.

The deterrence of the spearmen is evident!

In the Daqin army of the same period, it is not surprising that the spear array is also equipped with a crossbow | arrow force, and it is not surprising that the six countries will be wiped out.

However, hearing this, Yi Yan still did not lift his brows: “What about the enemy attacking from the side? The Xiongnu and Xianbei are cavalry, they can turn around at any time and attack the flanks of the array. Isn’t the spear useless?”

Having an apprentice who can draw inferences from one case and connect with reality is indeed a lot happier to teach.

Liang Feng nodded and said, “This is the purpose of forming an array. There are thousands of formations, and they are inseparable from the original. How to effectively avoid the enemy’s attack and attack the enemy to the greatest extent is the key to defeating the enemy.

” There are Tiefutu and kidnapper horses known as moving fortresses, as well as shield soldiers and hooked spears of Yue Fei and Zongze.

The battlefield is never static. Whether it is weapons or tactics, it will change rapidly with the enemy.

This is the terrible thing about famous generals and the art of war.

However, for the current Liangfu trilogy, these are too early.

You can’t learn to run without learning to walk.

Liang Feng said: “Now concentrate on practicing the spear, and let those recruits master the use of the spear formation as soon as possible. The number of people is limited. It is best to let them learn to change formations. If you can shoot at least two shots in a row, you will have the basic ability to respond to the enemy.

” The gun formation is not a simple formation. The requirements for both psychological quality and discipline are more stringent. He does not expect those recruits to master this quickly, but compared to fighting with swords and fighting bravely, this is already the most difficult. Simple tactics.

Understanding Liang Feng’s deep meaning, Yiyan nodded vigorously.

However, he did not continue to practice, but said: “My lord, it’s time for you to sleep.”

He learned this word from Luzhu.

He has been training in the barracks all day these past few days, and he can only go home at night.

At this time, the lord would take some time to instruct him on the art of war, and teach him the basic skills of drills or formations.

Of course Yiyan likes this one-on-one teaching, but no one knows the master’s physical condition better than him.

These days, Yi Yan was wearing clothes and guarding Liang Feng’s couch. The symptoms of Dan Shi’s activation did not completely disappear, and almost every night, the person in front of him woke up from his sleep dripping with cold sweat.

The terrifying episodes like before have been reduced, but the prolonged sleeplessness is consuming his little energy, making the thin body even weaker.

These Yi Yan are all in the eyes, anxious in the heart.

Therefore, whenever there is a chance, he will urge the lord to rest.

“You’re about to become a green bamboo’s answering worm.” Liang Feng laughed and mocked, “Why, I’m in a hurry to wait for me to fall asleep, so I can be lazy?”

“My lord!” Yi Yan frowned slightly and whispered. .

Liang Feng had a smile on his face, but his body remained motionless.

He didn’t want to rest.

Addiction symptoms show no sign of getting better these days, instead there are some more insidious sequelae.

For example, the mood continued to be low, the nightmare was haunted, the spirit was tense, and the hand was shaking so that even the pen was a little unsteady.

For him now, sleep is not the best way to rest.

But there are some worrying little guys around him, and he can’t let these people worry about him.

Therefore, there were more flowers on Liang Feng’s mouth, and he deliberately made a relaxed appearance.

Seeing that the other party had no plans to leave, Yi Yan couldn’t help but take another step: “My lord, it’s really getting late…”

He was about to say something when Lu Zhu suddenly came over.

In the past few days, the inner courtyard has been cleaned up, except for a few strict mouths, only Green Bamboo can take care of them.

But Liang Feng had an order long ago, and no one could disturb him when he was teaching Yiyan and training troops.

Green Bamboo is an obedient child, and it is impossible to break in so rashly.

Sure enough, Luzhu’s face was a little puzzled, and he walked quickly to Liang Feng’s side, and said, “Lang Jun, Taofang’s Jiang Jiangtou and his son are outside asking for a meeting, saying that there is an important matter…”

It was getting dark. , also to disturb Lang Jun, it is extremely rude.

But the other party’s expression was very solemn, so Luzhu had to come in to report.

It’s so late, or is it “urgent”?

Liang Feng raised his eyebrows: “Let them come in.”

Jiang’s father and son cautiously walked into the inner courtyard.

Logically speaking, there should be candles lit here. After all, it is the master of the Liang family. Even if three or five lamps are saved, there are still some.

But the strange thing is that the hall did not light incense candles, only two torches were inserted in the corner of the courtyard.

There were torches and moonlight, which made the interior of the courtyard extraordinarily bright, but the hall was obscured by faint shadows.

The master Lang, who was riddled with illness, was reclining on the table at the moment, the faint moonlight reflected on Yuru’s face, and he couldn’t see what the sickness was. Instead, he looked unpredictable and extravagant.

Beside him, there was also a man with a strange face, with a high nose and deep eyes, and his pair of tricks were still blue and bark, like a wild wolf occasionally encountered at night.

Jiang Jiang’s head just felt that his knees were a little weak, and his heart was pounding violently. He hurried forward with his son, knelt down in front of Liang Feng, and kowtowed: “Lord, forgive me, the villain has something important to report. ”

Oh, what’s the matter?” Liang Feng’s answer was neither salty nor light, unable to hear his emotions.

Jiang Jiang’s head shivered, and he didn’t even dare to lift his head: “Damn the villain! The villain is obsessed, and he was deceived by Tian Chang’s little old man.

With just one sentence, Liang Feng heard Jiang Jiang’s head.

This is for a whistleblower, like a tainted witness, who wants to exchange confession for leniency in exchange for leniency.

It seems that Tian Chang is about to take action, but the faction of his subordinates is not very reliable, and it collapses directly.

With a chuckle, Liang Feng said lazily: “Why, Tian Chang doesn’t want to use you anymore, and wants to replace Wu Jiang’s head?”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Jiang’s head immediately broke out in cold sweat. Staring at Tian Chang, I am afraid that even their conspiracy knows clearly.

Fortunately, I came early, if I waited for the surnamed Wu to attack, it would be too late!

In the bottom of my heart, I secretly rejoiced that Jiang Jiang’s head did not dare to neglect, as if he had poured the beans into the bamboo tube, he seemed to be recruiting: “Lang Zhu, spare your life! All of them are surnamed Tian who have bad intentions and covet the management power of the government. I am just a craftsman, how can I have any Nian Nian. It’s just that he instigated Wu Jiangtou, saying that he wanted to embarrass the master with mulberry leaves, and he also tampered with the account book and made a debt deed. I really dare not listen to this kind of betrayal of the master. Listen, I just came to report to the master all night!”

As he said that, he burst into tears, feeling extremely aggrieved.

However, the people in the hall did not mean to make a sound. After crying a few times without embarrassment or embarrassment, Jiang Jiangtou couldn’t help it, and secretly raised his eyes to look.

Above the hall, it was still dark, and it was impossible to see the other party’s expression, but those black eyes, which were brighter than the stars in the sky, stared straight at them, cold and biting, as if they could read people’s hearts.

Jiang Jiang’s head was tense, and he hurriedly pierced his head back.

What does this mean?

He didn’t believe it, but he still saw something…

Jiang Jiang’s head was thinking wildly when a voice suddenly came from above: “How are the private goods burned in the kiln sold?”

These words were like a bolt from the blue. The frightened Jiang Jiang’s head softened, and he fell directly to the ground: “Langzhu… the villain, the villain was instigated by others, and he became obsessed for a while. The pottery workshops are all burning pottery for the mansion, only the workshops can easily get no rewards. , several craftsmen have to eat, lord…”

His cry didn’t bring any sympathy, his voice was still cold: “Is it my own shop, or did I ask someone to sell it?”

Jiang Craftsman wanted to say something, Behind him, Jiang Ni suddenly gave him a hand, stood up and replied, “Master Qi, he entrusted him with consignment, mainly to burn some large items and sell them to the barbarians. But this year, there was some chaos in Bingzhou. We

no longer accept these rough goods.”

Hearing his son say this, Jiang Jiang was frightened by the cold sweat on his forehead, so he quickly remedied: “Langzhu Mingjian! Our pottery workshop is really unable to make ends meet, and the food distributed by the government every year. It’s not enough for a few households to eat, and there’s no land to farm, so it’s really just to survive…”

Liang Feng ignored the miserable remarks, and said to the nervous but winking young man, “The only thing in the workshop is Can you burn pottery? Can’t produce porcelain?”

“The skill of burning porcelain is a secret, how can it be fired in the workshop? The legendary porcelain fire is even more rare. We have tried some methods, but we can’t improve the kiln at all. Wen.” Jiang Ni has already reacted, the master does not care about their greed for ink, but is extremely concerned about the affairs of the kiln.

These words are exactly on point. It seems that he really needs someone who can help him. Blindly begging for mercy and crying will only make people look down on him.

Sure enough, Liang Feng nodded slightly: “If the kiln temperature can be raised and the porcelain can be fired. Can the current Bingzhou still be sold?”

“Yes!” Jiang Ni replied affirmatively, “If there is real porcelain, don’t worry about those idiots. People don’t like it. Even if they don’t have money and food, they still have a lot of horses, cattle and sheep in their hands. The porcelain is used by nobles, and there will never be no sales! It’s just that it’s too difficult to burn porcelain. It may not be able to make good porcelain…”

There is no ambiguity, this is what Liang Feng wants to hear.

What he lacks the most is talents, especially talents who know how to do business.

This kid can not only quickly hear the meaning of his words, but also respond fluently, and he has already met his basic requirements.

Regardless of whether the porcelain can be fired or not, this is a guy that can be reclaimed for his own use.

In Liangfu’s semi-serfdom production method, it is a miracle that the people below do not want to steal the benefits.

Such a sneaky person can do a great job, and if you give a little freedom, I am afraid that you will be able to make a difference.

What’s more, he does know some ways to increase the temperature of the flame, such as a pull-out bellows.

Since Tao Fang is not stupid, he doesn’t mind taking these people for his own use.

“Good.” Liang Feng sat up slightly, “Yi Yan, press them down.”

Jiang Ni’s face changed color immediately after saying this.

Why did the master suddenly change his face and lock them up?

Didn’t you just say it well?

Jiang Jiangtou’s face changed even more, and he shivered.

It’s all their son’s big mouth, and he directly ripped off Taofang’s old money. If the boss punished him, wouldn’t he be a sheep in the tiger’s mouth?

!

“Master Lang, Master Lang! We are really here to share the news…”

Jiang Jiangtou couldn’t help but climbed two steps forward, trying to get in front of Liang Feng.

However, Yi Yan’s movements were several times faster than his, and the spear in his hand smashed directly on his back, crushing him to the ground.

Is this a slap in the face?

Jiang Ni rushed up: “Lang lord, I came up with the idea! You punish me and spare my father…”

Liang Feng said, “Tomorrow Wu Jiang’s head is really as you said, and this time I will forgive me.

for you. If not…”

He stopped sinisterly, turned his head and said to Yi Yan, “Find two people and watch them carefully.”

At this time, the father and son’s high-hanging hearts finally let go.

It seems that the master is just to verify whether their secret report is true, not really to punish them.

As long as the surnamed Wu comes, they will be safe!

This time, the panic turned into a fluke, and the two dared not say anything else, so they obediently followed Yi Yan and retreated.

Looking at the two slightly hunched backs, Liang Feng chuckled lightly.

This piece of slack immediately shattered the pre-set line of defense of the Jiang family and their sons, so they wouldn’t dare to act recklessly in the future, right?

However, Tian Chang was more cunning and cowardly than he thought. Since he chose someone to die, he was disrespectful.

Liang Feng instructed Lvzhu, “Go and call Ah Liang.”
