Chapter 243: Weapon Master Cao Lesheng
Lu Shiyan has good handwriting, strong logical thinking, and his own insights and ideas on weapon making.
That night, with the help of Jiang Tangtang, he stayed up all night, wrote half a book and a letter, and sent someone to deliver the pills that Jiang Tangtang had prepared in advance to the capital.
In addition to sending letters to the weapon master, another group of people were sent to investigate the hobbies, weaknesses, etc. of the major craftsmen in the capital.
From then on, he trained soldiers during the day and went home at night to read and copy books with Jiang Tangtang.
In addition to copying the complete scroll on weapons given to Cao Lesheng, he also compiled many other scrolls based on modern books.
After that, he sent people to the capital to deliver several letters and things.
Time flies when we are busy, and it is the end of the year in a blink of an eye.
It was not until Mrs. Su came with her children and asked them how they planned to celebrate the New Year that Jiang Tangtang realized that another year had passed.
Counting it up, this is her third Spring Festival since she traveled through time.
"Mom!" Lu Tiantian's face was chubby, soft and tender. As soon as she saw Jiang Tangtang, she rushed over and hugged Jiang Tangtang, saying, "I miss you so much! If you don't come back to see us, grandma won't let us come to see you."
"It's not safe outside." Jiang Tangtang hugged the soft and cute little girl and instantly lost interest in her career. The little girl was so soft and cute, she really wanted to kiss her.
As she thought of this, she kissed the little girl's chubby face.
Lu Tiantian was happy, yet a little shy as she covered her face.
"Okay, stop bothering your mother. She is very busy!" Su has always been proud of her daughter-in-law who can handle government affairs well, and she is deeply afraid that she will delay Jiang Tangtang from doing her work.
"Mom, it's okay. I've almost finished the things I have to do." Jiang Tangtang said with a smile, "I'll tell the people down there and I'll walk around with you guys later."
After being busy for so long, Cangwu is finally on the right track.
In order to solve the food problem for so many refugees, Jiang Tangtang drew a lot of grain from the granaries in Lingnan and Baodao.
But these grains could not be given away for free, so she not only vigorously built city walls and other military defense measures, but also opened many workshops.
The largest workshop among them is the tile processing workshop.
Cangwu happens to have natural materials such as clay that are suitable for making tiles.
Of course, these newly recruited refugees could only do the most menial jobs, while the more skilled jobs were handled by experienced workers transferred from Taiwan.
The masters transferred from Taiwan will also select refugees with good moral character and suitable to be apprentices as disciples and provide guidance.
These were the skills Jiang Tangtang taught them. They were grateful to Jiang Tangtang and had no idea that they couldn't be passed on to outsiders.
In addition to the largest ceramic tile processing workshop, there are also brick kilns for firing ceramic basins, ceramic water pipes, ceramic knives, and firing red bricks.
These items were very popular with the newly arrived families in Lingnan, which allowed Cangwu to establish a trading relationship with Lingnan in the shortest possible time.
Cangwu's temperature is lower than Lingnan's, but that doesn't mean it's completely unsuitable for cultivation. Leek seeds, radish, and cabbage seeds, all grown in space, are adaptable to Cangwu's climate.
The common people are the most hardworking and always seize every planting opportunity that comes their way.
To be precise, it is a chance to survive.
Today, much of the land is covered with dead grass.
This was the method Jiang Tangtang taught them to keep the vegetables warm in the winter. They would cover them with dry grass every morning and evening, and uncover them at noon when the temperature was highest, so that they would not freeze to death.
Jiang Tangtang took the children to the countryside and smiled unconsciously when she saw the people working in the fields.
Although it is still far behind modern rural areas.
But the situation was very different from when he first took over, with corpses everywhere and no one to bury them, large tracts of land barren and no one to cultivate it, and refugees fleeing everywhere like headless flies.
Today, the refugees have settled down, and whether they choose to work in the city or farm in the countryside, they are gradually getting on the right track.
At the same time, a group of people, escorted by Xiaowu, finally arrived in Cangwu.
The person Xiaowu was escorting this time was none other than the weapon master Cao Lesheng and his family.
When he first received the letter from Lu Shiyan, he sneered and threw the pills and books into the corner.
The imperial doctors in the palace have all examined it. If his hand could really be cured, it would have been cured long ago.
He really thought that he was favored by the gods and had the elixir of life.
That’s right, the news that the Lu family received help from the gods had already spread to the capital.
When the Emperor of the Great Zhou heard this rumor, he became very angry and scolded Lu Shiyan in the court.
He said he was a traitor who came to seize his kingdom under the guise of divine help. He should not have been soft-hearted at the time and just exiled him to Lingnan...
Those who liked to flatter the emperor naturally followed the emperor's words and cursed the Lu family as traitors. They even had people spread the rumor that Lu Shiyan was just looking for an excuse for his rebellion and deliberately fabricating public opinion.
He had no divine blessing at all; everything was just a trick of his to deceive people.
The people in the capital had never seen the shocking sight of food appearing out of thin air in an open space. Unlike the common people in Cangwu who were full of respect for the Lu family, many people joined in scolding the Lu family.
Cao Lesheng was not as excited as those people outside, but he did not believe in any talk of gods or immortals.
This was how things went until his eldest grandson suddenly developed a high fever. Doctors from all the major medical clinics in Beijing shook their heads after seeing him and told his family to prepare for his death. He suddenly remembered the medicine Lu Shiyan had sent, saying it was a gift from the gods and might help to restore his hand.
Since it is a medicine bestowed by gods, it should be able to bring the dead back to life!
At this time, he had forgotten the sneer he had felt when he first received the medicine. He only hoped that it was really a gift from the gods and could save his eldest grandson.
With the mentality of trying everything possible, Cao Lesheng gave one of the medicines Lu Shiyan had sent to his eldest grandson Cao Jiancheng.
What he didn't expect was that his eldest grandson, who had been burned to the point of being mentally confused, actually woke up after taking the medicine.
He was overjoyed and quickly took out the remaining medicine. Thinking that it might really be a gift from the gods, he didn't dare give more to his grandson and only gave one pill to his eldest grandson at a time.
After eating like this for three days, Cao Jiancheng's illness was cured and he looked more energetic than before he fell ill.
Others said that the Cao family was blessed by their ancestors, but only he knew what was really going on.
The medicine that Lu Shiyan sent was really extraordinary.
He looked at the remaining medicine in the bottle and felt a little reluctant, as this medicine could save a family's life at a critical moment.
But looking at his hands, thinking about the great aspirations he made when he was young, and thinking about the beautiful world that Lu Shiyan described for him, he finally grabbed a pill and swallowed it.
Only then did he pick up Lu Shiyan and look at him carefully. The more he looked, the more frightened he became.
I thought that the rumor was that Madam Lu was a disciple of a god, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she received guidance from the god.
