Chapter 141 Recruitment

In the newly built farm, there is a building called Tielu.

It is an independent courtyard, located at the handover of the farmland and the building warehouse. This place belongs to the inner house and is not accessible to ordinary people. A simple pig iron furnace was built in the courtyard. Liu Kan held iron pliers in one hand and a sledgehammer in the other, and made objects in the iron hut with his shirtless. Liu Ju and Wang Xin watched curiously.

Logically speaking, Liu Kan doesn't need to do this kind of thing.

However, Liu Kan still specially invited a craftsman from Tong County and studied for a whole month.

What is he going to do?

The answer is very simple... He wants to create horseshoes and stirrups by himself. In this era, horseshoes have not yet appeared, and stirrups are just one-sided stirrups, which are only used for horse-mounted convenience. Liu Kan first needs to solve the problem of horseshoes, and it cannot be let others know.

The best way is to do it yourself.

According to the memories of his previous life, Liu Kan finally succeeded in building it after a month. He tried to use it on several other horses. Seeing that there was no problem, he began to prepare to install horseshoes for the Red Rabbit. Moreover, after previous experiments, Liu Kan's skills have also improved a lot. The horseshoes created are much more beautiful, and they can be used for the Red Rabbit Horse.

While acting as guards, Liu Ju and Wang Xin looked at the horseshoe formed on the anvil curiously.

"Brother, is it really useful for you to make this thing?"

Liu Ju asked curiously, "Would it be uncomfortable if Chitu brought this thing with her?"

"Will you feel uncomfortable wearing shoes?"

"Won't!"

"That's it!" Liu Kan used iron pliers to pick up a horseshoe and put it into the water. With a sizzling sound, a stream of water vapor surged.

"This thing is like we wear shoes, and Chitu will definitely not feel uncomfortable. Walking barefoot is prone to injury, but with this thing, Chitu doesn't have to worry about being injured while walking... Let me, have you done what I asked you to make?"

Wang Xin said: "It's done!"

As he spoke, he picked up a pair of saddles from the side. Of course, this saddle was not the common Takahashi saddle in later generations, but the flat saddle that was very popular in this era. The difference from the ordinary flat saddle is that there was a stirrup hanging on each of the two times of the saddle.

Stirrups are made of bronze and there are many on the market. One stirrup is worth twenty yuan.

Maybe it's just a conceptual problem. Although stirrups have already appeared, no one expected them to be assembled into double stirrups.

Liu Ju walked over with the red rabbit horse. Wang Xin stepped forward and put the flat saddle on it. Four large cowhide belts passed under the horse's belly, tightening.

The Red Rabbit's horseshoe was already installed two days ago, and there was no adverse reaction except that it was a little uncomfortable at the beginning.

Liu Kan turned on the horse and buckled her feet in the stirrups. After running two laps in the yard, she felt pretty good. However, this kind of flat saddle is indeed not comfortable. Although it is much more convenient with the help of stirrups, it seems very unstable compared to the high bridge saddle.

What a pity, Takahashi saddle cannot be allowed to appear now.

Liu Kan asked Wang Xin to bring a bag and put it on the horse's back, which could just cover the stirrups. Then he hung the red flag on the horse's body and tried it twice to make sure it would not affect his actions. Only then did he feel relieved.

"Brother, there is still a letter... Remember, no one can tell you what you see today. This is our life-saving guy."

Liu Ju and Wang Xin nodded repeatedly to show their understanding.

Liu Kan turned over and stepped on the Red Rabbit. He was about to ride out for a walk, but saw Kuai Che running over hurriedly.

"Original Lord, the Qin family in Bajun has sent someone here!"

Liu Kan was stunned, quickly dismounted and threw the reins to Wang Xin.

"Who is sending?"

"Qin Zhou!"

Liu Kan nodded and waved his hand and said, "Let's go and see him!"

The two hurried to the living room and saw Qin Zhou standing in the courtyard with dust.

"Mr. Qin!"

Qin Zhou and Liu Kan were also old acquaintances, so they bowed and said, "Cang Ling is polite. Qin Zhou is just a disciple. How can he afford the word "Sir"?"

As he said that, he took out a piece of talisman from his arms.

"Zhou came today, and was ordered by the head of the family to ask Cang Ling to go to Ba County."

The Fu Xin was Qin Qing's Fu Xin. After hearing this, Liu Kan finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.

After three months of waiting, Liu Kan finally got Qin Qing's reply. Although he didn't understand Qin Qing's attitude very well, at least he didn't need to be worried anymore. Everything will be known after he and Qin Qing met.

Liu Kan is still looking forward to going to Bashu.

If he can really get Qin Qing’s support, it would be like he’s holding on, which is very beneficial to his future development.

Well, if the Qin Dynasty does not perish for a day, I can plan for one day. It is best to have a longer time, so that I can prepare more fully. Sometimes, Liu Kan hates himself very much. When he was in school in his previous life, why didn’t he pay more attention? At least find out which year did the First Emperor die? In this way, I can be more sure, right? Why are you worried all day now?

However, Liu Kan is not able to leave just by saying that.

After all, he is now the warehouse order of Lou Cang, and is responsible for the transportation of Huai Han grain roads. Therefore, he must arrange the matter carefully, and then go to Xiang County to take a leave of absence to Ying Zhuang. I believe Ying Zhuang will not stop him. After all, the grain roads of Huai Han are now open and there is no big trouble. Moreover, it was Qin Qing's invitation, Ying Zhuang should have agreed. However, this scene will be a little bit ahead.

Liu Kan first found Cao Shen and arranged the matter for the winter.

This winter is busy, and there are two major things to be solved. First, the construction of the building wall must be completed. At least the main outline must be completed, and the rest are some details. It is not too late to be carried out next year. There is also the work of canal repairs, so we must prepare to start construction.

And, and...

I don't feel so busy on weekdays.

But when it was time to make arrangements, Liu Kan discovered that there were so many trivial matters in every detail.

This is the case with a small building warehouse, so how heavy will the affairs of the entire empire be? I heard that the official documents that the First Emperor had to handle every day were 100 or 200 kilograms. I really admire his diligent attitude, at least Liu Kan felt that he could not do it.

After arranging all the affairs of the Lou Cang, Liu Kan took Chen Daozi and Wang Xin and prepared to leave for Xiangxian County.

But before they set off, Ying Zhuang sent someone over first.

"Cang Ling, the county magistrate asked Cang Ling to go to Xiang County immediately, and there was an important matter to discuss with Cang Ling."

The person who came to report the news was also an acquaintance of Liu Kan.

The Sima of the army under Ying Zhuang was now the chief of Sishui County Shao Ping.

Liu Kan said strangely: "Major things? Does Mr. Ping know what important things are?"

Shao Ping shook his head, saying that he was not very clear.

It was hard for Liu Kan to continue asking questions. Anyway, he was about to go to Xiang County, so that would be a good way. At that moment, Liu Kan and Shao Ping immediately set off and rushed to Xiang County without stopping. At noon the next day, Liu Kan and Shao Ping arrived at the county magistrate's mansion and reported it to him, waiting for the summons.

After a while, Shao Ping walked out of the county magistrate's mansion.

"Cang Ling, the county magistrate is waiting in the study, please follow me."

Liu Kan couldn't help but even more strange and walked into the mansion with Shao Ping. Along the way, there were soldiers patrolling, which made people feel nervous that a war was coming. Moreover, if you were talking about business, Ying Zhuang should have summoned him in the living room, why did he summon him in the study?

Something big happened!

Liu Kan muttered in her heart.

Ying Zhuang's study is like a military tent.

In the middle is a huge sand table, but there is no way to tell where the terrain is.

A raw cowhide map was hung on one wall. Ying Zhuang was standing in front of the map, watching quietly, as if he did not notice Liu Kan's arrival.

"County magistrate, Liu Cangling is here."

Ying Zhuang seemed to wake up, turned around and looked at Liu Kan, and said in a deep voice: "Cang Ling, sit down."

"Mr. I wonder if you are so urgent and have your orders?"

Ying Zhuang and Ren Xiao are different. Liu Kan can be casual in front of Ren Xiao, but he dare not be casual in front of Ying Zhuang.

Ying Zhuang nodded, turned around and walked to the desk, and took out a roll of black silk.

"Cang Ling, congratulations!"

"ah?"

"Xianyang sent two edicts." Ying Zhuang smiled, then spread the black silk and said in a deep voice: "Liu Kan listens to the edict!"

At this time, Liu Kan was full of confusion and didn't know what the black silk in Ying Zhuang's hand was for. What does it have to do with me when I issued an edict in Xianyang? Liu Kan knew it himself, and with his current identity, it was not as good as the eyes of the First Emperor. Could it be...

Liu Kan was thinking randomly, but she was not slow at all.

He hurriedly leaned down and knelt down and said, "My minister Liu Kan, receive the imperial edict!"

"Since Liu Kan was appointed as the Lou Cang Cang Order, he was diligent and ensured the safety of the Huai and Han grain roads... The Shangqing Mansion commented that he could be promoted to the first-class title and be the title of the doctor; he also developed military rations, and the Baiyue War was carried out smoothly. Although he had not been beheaded, he made great contributions. He was promoted to the first-class title and enjoyed the title of the official official. He made soy wine, and the number of our great Qin soldiers survived, and he could be promoted to the first-class title and be the title of the Duke's Office."

Liu Kan couldn't help but be confused!

Ying Zhuang smiled and said, "Since the Great Qin Shangjun's legislation, no one has been able to upgrade three levels in a row in a row. Cang Ling can be said to be the first person."

"This... I'm afraid!"

Gongdafu, also known as Seventh Doctor, is the seventh-class title among the twenty-sixth military titles of Qin system. Compared with the non-stop, it is another watershed. When the civil servants reach the Duke, they can see that the county magistrate and the chief bow without bowing. In other words, when they see the official, they can just bow their hands.

Ying Zhuang stepped forward and helped Liu Kan up and placed the black silk in Liu Kan's hand.

The smile immediately stopped, and turned around and picked up another roll of black silk from the desk and opened it: "Liu Kan received the imperial edict!"

"Ah... I received the imperial edict!"

"I ordered Liu Kan, the Lou Cang Cang Cang of Sishui County, to take the imperial edict and set off immediately and arrive in Yangzhou within 30 days to report."

Liu Kan was stunned and looked at Ying Zhuang blankly. At this time, he was really a little overwhelmed. Why did I just want me to report to Yangzhou?

Ying Zhuang said: "This is the conscript order issued by the Taiwei Mansion, the Cang Order, please accept the imperial edict."

Liu Kan took the edict in a daze, and it took a long time to react, "County magistrate, where is Yangzhou, and why is it called?

Also, when I arrived in Yangzhou, who will I report to?"

Ying Zhuang said: "Don't ask so much about this. In short, Your Majesty has decided to use troops to the Xiongnu, and the army of the border counties has begun to gather in Shangjun. Yangzhou is in Shangjun... In theory, you don't need to apply for the conscription, but this is the conscription order issued by the Taiwei Mansion, which is unusual for corvee service. After you arrive in Yangzhou, someone will naturally tell you who to report to...

Time is a little tight, but it's still enough.

Let me do this, I will transfer three hundred Lantian soldiers under my command to you, and the chief official Shao Ping will accompany you to Yangzhou. You can go back to Lou Cang first and make some arrangements. After two days, I will send Shao Ping to join you in Pei County. As for the specific servants, you can arrange it yourself.

However, if you go to Yangzhou to report and return, you still need to ensure the smooth flow of Huaihan Grain Road. Do you understand?"

Liu Kan clicked dizzyly and withdrew from the study with the imperial edict and Fu Xin.

Standing on the steps of the county magistrate's mansion, when the cold wind blew, he shook a chill.

Starting war against the Huns?
Chapter completed!
