I am engaged in construction in Datang

He looked around, bewildered.

At this time, students like him who were wearing long gowns with double-breasted collars were almost gone. He also saw a few pieces of green clothes sticking out from the moving crowd.

I suddenly felt a chill down my spine.

Zheng Wen quietly stepped back.

Although it is unlikely, what if he is on the remaining two lists?

far away.

The middle-aged man in the carriage clenched his fists excitedly. Only one of the twenty-one people he had been eyeing made the list, and he hadn't grabbed it yet.

But the remaining twenty-nine people all focused on those on the list.

Two!

His face flushed with excitement, he had already brought two home!

"Xiao Si, there are too many people watching Master Zheng. Let's just give up and let the rest of us focus on watching Master Wen."

There is an undercurrent in the field.

Zheng Wen wanted to escape, but he was surrounded by a wall of people.

In front of us, the second to last list slowly opened, and the words "Zheng Wen" were prominently listed in the first column.

There are only the top three names on the first list, which means he is ranked fourth this time!

Zheng Wen didn't have time to be happy and started to assume a fighting stance.

He glared fiercely at the group of men who were trying to get close to him and shouted, "Don't come over here!"

"You two fight first, and I'll follow whoever wins!"

……

Female village.

Li Yin took great pains to get different alfalfa seeds from all over the country. She wanted to cultivate some cold-resistant and drought-resistant seeds for the herders in Qinghai.

Nuzhuang wanted to establish a base in Qinghai, so Li Xiaoyang set off for that place years later and has not returned since.

"Master." Feng Sanxi came running over hurriedly.

"The imperial court has announced the results!"

"How did the students do in the exam?" Li Yin put down the brush in her hand and hung the written breeding recipe on the bamboo pole behind her.

"Master Yu is at the top of the list!"

Feng Sanxi was very excited, but then his face fell again: "It's a pity that he was captured."

"That merchant is so shameless that he kidnapped three students from my village!"

"How could he catch so many?" Li Yin was puzzled.

Aren't these negotiated one by one?

There will be a good result only when both parties are satisfied.

"That's not enough." Feng Sanxi glanced at his owner dimly, "Another family has captured eleven people from the village!"

“……”Li Yin had never heard of this before.

"Master Zheng sent someone to tell Zhuang to rescue him."

Li Yin stood up and paced back and forth: "How many people were captured in total?"

"113."

"Good fellow!" she continued, "Don't leave any one behind."

Everyone will not encounter any danger, it just requires the man and the lady to meet first, and whether it will succeed in the end depends on their willingness.

"There's no need to rush." ​​Li Yin said, "Just be more careful with those who are married."

"Uncle Sanxi, please be sure to inform the students of their marriages in detail. The village will not recognize anyone who abandons his wife and children."

Li Yin thought for a moment and then said, "Those who take concubines will not be recognized either."

"You should deny it." Feng Sanxi nodded. He was the manager of the women's farm and the only uncle Li Yin had left. He knew what she wanted.

There are no concubines in the manor now, and there will be no concubines in the future.

Even the lowly status of ten slaves including Xiaochun was changed to good status through Li Yin’s connections.

If she wants to change others, she must first ask Zhuang Shang to do the same.

This is what happens when leaders lead by example.

"Wait till night, I'll have to trouble Uncle Sanxi to go there in person."

Since Zheng Wen asked the village to rescue people, she must send someone, no matter whether the marriage is successful or not, they cannot stay overnight.

……

barracks.

Zhao Tianzhu looked at the flintlock rifles in the hands of the officers around him, his eyes full of admiration.

He saw how the general used it. Even at such a far distance, he could hit the target with just a press of the paddle.

I don’t know how much more effort it saves compared to a bow and arrow.

Unfortunately, there are not many flintlock rifles. If you want to keep the right to use one, you have to be one of the top shooters.

"My dear disciple, how about we compete when we shoot at the target later?"

Li Xiaoqiu glanced at the other party and said, "No."

During the Chinese New Year, she practiced shooting in the village all day long. Her hit rate was frighteningly high. When she competed with Zhao Tianzhu, it was like she was bullying a little kid.

"Okay, I'll show you how powerful I am."

Zhao Tianzhu had never used a gun, but this thing was different from a bow and arrow. Just because he couldn't shoot an arrow accurately didn't mean he couldn't shoot a gun accurately.

The people taking the trial ahead had run out of ammunition, so it was Zhao Tianzhu's turn to take the trial.

It was Li Xiaoqiu's turn in the team next to him.

"Aim at your own target and don't miss it, okay?" The soldier handed enough ammunition to the two men and pointed at the target about a hundred steps ahead.

"Don't try to help your brothers improve their grades, otherwise you will not be welcome in the Gunners Battalion."

Zhao Tianzhu could not wait to raise his gun: "No way! We will rely on our own abilities."

The flintlock rifle was not difficult to learn. Zhao Tianzhu imitated the previous person and posed, then fired the first shot according to the soldier's instructions.

'boom! '

"Is it on target? Is it on target?"

"Keep shooting." The soldier had a blank expression on his face. The target wasn't moving, so where could he shoot?

Over there, Li Xiaoqiu was ready. Without any instructions or reminders, he completed the loading of ammunition with a technique more skillful than that of the officers.

Immediately afterwards——

'boom! '

"Xiao Qiu hit the target, the head, the critical spot adds 2 points."

Zhao Tianzhu had just reloaded his ammunition when he heard this and turned around blankly to look at Xiao Qiu beside him.

I never thought that you have this skill!

Zhao Tianzhu miserably raised his flintlock rifle again, and then his eyes became determined. He was sure he could do it this time.

'boom! '

"Did you hit it? Did you hit the target?"

He seemed to see the target shake twice.

The officer had no expression on his face. He wrote down Zhao Tianzhu's name on the paper and then uttered two cold words: "Continue."

Zhao Tianzhu also felt very disappointed.

Over there, Xiao Qiu got familiar with the feel of the new gun, and he shot at the target very quickly with a very high hit rate.

By the time both of them had used up their ammunition, Xiao Qiu had already changed three or four targets, while Zhao Tianzhu's target could still be used by the next person.

The two walked to the cafeteria in silence.

"Master Xiao Qiu!"

Zhao Tianzhu suddenly spoke up, his tone extremely cheesy: "Master Xiao Qiu, can you teach me how to shoot a gun?"

Li Xiaoqiu suddenly stopped, with a complicated expression: "How about you practice flying knives first?"

She had never seen anyone with such an outrageous accuracy.

Hearing this, Zhao Tianzhu's face instantly fell.

He had given up on the flying knife thing a long time ago.

"Flintlocks and matchlocks are not as powerful as you think. In bad weather, the flint in a flintlock can be easily broken."

Li Xiaoqiu said: "Besides, the flintlock rifle's accuracy is not good, and it will cause countless troubles."

She had heard from the owner of the manor before that when guns first came out, production would definitely not be able to keep up.

At that time, our army will retain traditional arms and create new arms.

Just like the skill of archery.
