Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

"Mr. Shen" Sheng Changan bowed and saluted.

Shen Congye seemed unaware. "Why is Lord Sheng here? Is there anything wrong?"

"Mr. Shen, I would like to invite you to teach martial arts to those children in the newly opened school." Sheng Changan did not intend to drag it out and went straight to the point.

Shen Congye stroked his beard and said, "Of course there's no problem. If I don't move, my old bones will get rusty."

"Then I will take those students to thank Mr. Shen first." Sheng Changan hesitated after saying this. After spending some time together, this Mr. Shen really didn't seem like the kind of person who would push the original owner here.

Seeing Sheng Changan's hesitant expression, Shen Congye glanced at Shen Huaizhi.

Shen Huaizhi nodded in understanding and went straight back to his room.

Watching Shen Huaizhi's leaving figure, he spoke, "If you have anything to ask, please speak directly. I will tell you everything I know. I will tell you everything I know."

"I'm a little confused as to why Mr. Shen arranged for me to come here." The Xianbei were eyeing them covetously, and the original owner was weak, so it took him almost a year to get here.

Shen Congye was silent for a moment. "It's a coincidence. When I first saw your writing style, I found that you had sharp ideas and a deep mind. Although your thoughts and ideas are still too idealistic, you are indeed a talented person with great potential."

"Given time, you will surely become a good official. I did have some thoughts about you, so I sent a letter to Wu You. Later I discovered that you are a woman."

Shen Congye sighed. "The journey is long and dangerous. I had no choice but to change my mind. I wanted to take you in first, but the situation changed so quickly that I couldn't take care of you by then."

"The Emperor has long wanted to kill us. My son was seriously injured at the border, and someone took advantage of his misfortune to slander him. Only then did I realize that someone thought you were already one of my disciples, so they sent you here directly."

"I could only find a team to escort you. Not long after, the emperor issued a direct judgment. Only the two of us, grandfather and grandson, survived by chance. I don't know what happened after that."

It was also thanks to Mr. Shen, otherwise the original owner might not have been able to get here. If she were alone, she would probably not know how she died.

A year ago, General Shen was guarding the border, so the Xianbei did not dare to invade. After General Shen's death, the Xianbei began to act without any scruples.

Shen Congye looked relieved and said, "Although it was a coincidence, Guangping County is also thanks to Lord Sheng." Otherwise, Guangping would be in danger.

"I would also like to thank Mr. Shen for saving my life." Although the original owner is dead, she is the one staying in the original owner's body now, so of course she has to acknowledge this favor.

Shen Congye helped Sheng Changan up and said, "I have to thank Master Sheng, otherwise I would not be able to get out."

Sheng Changan smiled and exchanged a few words before leaving, but he was still in a bad mood. From what Mr. Shen said, it was not difficult to hear that the original owner was indeed a very talented person, but he was living in troubled times.

At daybreak, Sheng Changan got up and prepared to go see how the weapons were being made. This was of utmost importance.

Lin Chuan looked at Sheng Changan's back and was a little surprised. The adult seemed to be particularly motivated today.

"Sir" Zheng Jun came up hurriedly and took him directly to the place where weapons were manufactured.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a spear, which was four meters long and weighed about seventy kilograms. "Is this for Li Dashan?" Apart from him, Sheng Changan couldn't think of anyone else who could use it.

"Just as you expected, this was specially made by Captain Shen for Vice Captain Li. It's called a horse lance." Zheng Jun thought for a moment and added, "Captain Shen said he would find a way to find a few horses. Don't worry, sir."

Sheng Changan curled the corner of her mouth. She didn't expect Shen Huaizhi to be so bold. He had no money, so where could he find a horse? He could only rob.

Although it was similar to what she thought, she wanted to snatch a few horses when the Xianbei attacked. Judging from Shen Huaizhi's plan, he wanted to snatch a few horses back before the attack.

Sheng Changan sighed helplessly, "What is he going to use?"

"The only thing we've made so far is this big gun. It's about thirteen feet long and weighs about twenty pounds. The remaining spears are still being made."

"Shen Huaizhi seems to know a lot about this." From what Zheng Jun said, these were all his requests.

Zheng Jun nervously glanced at Sheng Changan's expression but couldn't see anything. For a moment he didn't know whether he should say anything.

Sheng Changan noticed Zheng Jun's nervousness and felt a little helpless. She wasn't that unreasonable! She thought she was usually quite kind.

She could only slow down her expression and said in a gentle tone, "I am very pleased to have such a capable person under my command, so you can relax."

Zheng Jun reassured himself that the gentleman did not intend to cause trouble before speaking, "Captain Shen is quite talented in this area and has read a lot of books on the subject."

Sheng Changan nodded in understanding. With this person here, she probably didn't need to pay attention to this side all the time. She was mainly worried that the weapons were too backward and would cause some unnecessary losses. She didn't expect that Shen Huaizhi had specially improved the weapons.

Sheng Changan turned his attention to other things. "I want to find some people to study paper."

"Paper?" Zheng Jun was a little confused. He had never heard of this thing.

"To replace the bamboo slips, County Magistrate Wu should have brought the things here soon." Sheng Changan estimated the time and walked out.

Zheng Jun hurriedly followed.

Sheng Changan pointed to the mulberry bark on the ground and said, "First, try it. Remove the skin, dry it, and then soak it in water."

This memory was a bit fuzzy, and she could only give a rough estimate: "It should be about ten days, and then add the wood ash and cook for five or six hours..."

I managed to give a rough idea, "Make some bamboo slips first, and then you can try making paper slowly." The main problem was that she didn't remember everything, so she could only watch them from then on.

Zheng Jun kept writing something on the bamboo slips. After Sheng Changan stopped, he said, "Don't worry, sir. I will do my best."

"If you need anything, just ask County Magistrate Wu directly." She would be really tired if she had to handle everything. Besides, didn't she recruit so many people just to help her with work?

She hasn't had a rest since she came here, but she will take a break tomorrow and discuss the limited delicacies with the cook in the kitchen.

"Sir," a dark-skinned man ran over, holding a brick in his hand, and said excitedly, "Sir, the brick is out!"

Only then did Sheng Changan realize that it was Feng Zhihong. However, after hearing what he said, Sheng Changan became excited and quickly took the brick. It seemed that he had indeed succeeded. The next step was to see if he could accept the main test.

Zheng Jun had long heard that Feng Zhihong and the others had been guarding it for this very reason, and that the brick was invulnerable to weapons. Curious, he grabbed a spear and handed it over.

Sheng Chang'an looked at the spear with some hesitation. What illusion made Zheng Jun think that a ten-year-old child could lift a spear weighing about 20 kilograms and still have enough strength to stab it?
