Chapter 19 The Mi Family Girl

(PS: It is difficult for newcomers to reach the sky. Each collection and recommendation from friends is a step up for the pure new wolf. Please continue to support the pure wolf, old and new friends.)

She had doubts about the practicality of Tao Ying's Thunderbolt Car, and she needed to be flattered. Mi Zhu shook his head while appreciating Tao Ying's masterpiece, and complimented him sincerely: "Young Master is really talented. I didn't expect it to be lost for hundreds of years."

The long-awaited thunderbolt car can actually be reborn in the hands of the young master. I admire you very much."

"Sir, this car is so magical, it will definitely be effective on the battlefield. Mi Fang loves it so much." Mi Fang was thinking about another level and asked tentatively: "Sir, I am bold and want to copy a copy of the master's Thunderbolt Car.

Let the craftsmen at home help you create the sketch, and it will also open your eyes. I wonder what you want?"

"That won't work." Tao Ying quickly closed the sketch, shook his head and said, "This car is Tao Ying's hard work, and it is also Tao Ying's trump card on the battlefield. It must be kept secret carefully. If it spreads, it will let the enemy be on guard.

Then there will be no surprise and winning effect.”

Mi Fang secretly winked at Mi Zhu again. Mi Zhu knew that Mi Fang wanted her to help persuade Tao Ying, and prepared to copy a sketch to present to Liu Bei - if this Thunderbolt Chariot could really play a role in siege warfare, then he would also help.

Liu Bei was very busy. But Mi Zhu did not ask for it, but deliberately asked: "Master, so you bought sandalwood, iron and raw silk on credit from Xiaguan just to build a thunderbolt chariot? I don't understand.

, why does this siege thunder vehicle use expensive and rare sandalwood, iron and raw silk?"

"Don't drive, please take a closer look." Tao Ying didn't know what the plan was, so he immediately unfolded the sketch of the Thunderbolt Car again, pointed at several parts and explained: "Don't drive, please take a closer look. The throwing arm of this Thunderbolt Car is the most critical, and it requires wood.

It needs to be strong, durable and flexible, so Tao Ying wanted to try it with sandalwood, the best among the woods, maybe he can throw heavier stone bullets farther."

Mi Zhu nodded, while carefully memorizing the dimensions of the Thunderbolt Chariot on Tao Ying's sketch, he asked again: "Master, what about the iron and raw silk? What's the use of it?"

"Iron is used to make wearing parts. This type of Pili car has many parts that are subject to wear and tear. If it is made of wood, it must be replaced frequently. It is not only troublesome, but also a waste of time and wood. Therefore, Tao Ying wants to use good iron to build it and save money.

Cost." Tao Ying was talking casually while pointing out a few wearing parts on the carefully drawn sketch. Mi Zhu nodded repeatedly, feeling that Tao Ying's words made sense.

"As for the raw silk, it is not used for thunderbolt chariots, but is intended to be used on soldiers." Tao Ying added: "As you know, the army built by Tao Ying himself is named after a gentleman. A gentleman is benevolent, righteous, courageous, free and easy.

, If the soldiers under Tao Ying's command only wore armor, they would be too murderous and lose the reputation of being a gentleman, so Tao Ying wanted to sew a silk robe for each of his soldiers to make them more elegant, so he needed thousands of kilograms of raw silk."

"To add elegance?" Mi Fang almost didn't laugh out loud, thinking, damn, this nerd is really stupid because of his studies. He wants to dress soldiers in expensive and thin silk robes, but he can't think of it!

"I see, the young master is indeed very talented. He dares not think what others think, and dare not do what he does." Mi Zhu couldn't help but sarcastically said, while trying his best to memorize the dimensions and components of the Thunderbolt Car on the sketch.

"Mi Biejia, you also know Tao Ying's secret weapon. Now Tao Ying can buy the necessary military supplies from you on credit?" Tao Ying closed the sketch again and said sincerely: "Mi Biejia, you are

A man who is versatile in civil and military affairs must also be able to see that this Thunderbolt Chariot can not only be used to attack cities, but can also be used to defend cities and fortresses. It is extremely powerful. Once built, it will definitely greatly improve our military strength in Xuzhou! I don’t know how others can drive it.

Can you lend a helping hand to Tao Ying? If the job is done, Tao Ying will naturally reward you generously!"

Mi Zhu remained calm, just making quick calculations in his mind. The military supplies that Tao Ying originally asked for were nothing in Mi Zhu's eyes - the total value was less than one-tenth of what Mi Zhu brothers had funded Liu Bei. Mi Zhu could have done it once.

Venture capital, but the problem is that Mi Zhu really doesn’t believe in Tao Ying, a nerd, and that the Thunderbolt Car built by Tao Ying can really play a role in siege. If Tao Ying, a nerd, only talks about it on paper, Mi Zhu’s venture capital will all be in vain.

.

"How about, Mi Biejia, you can give Tao Ying a thousand catties of iron and a thousand catties of raw silk on credit. I don't want the sandalwood for the time being. I'll make do with other wood for the time being, okay?" Tao Ying took the initiative to make concessions - for the

For the various weapons that Tao Ying is secretly developing, sandalwood is indeed a dispensable military supply, but iron and raw silk are too important. If they can get these two military supplies from Mi Zhu, Tao Ying can not only

This saves a large amount of military expenses, and it also eliminates the need to wait for Cao Hong to purchase raw silk from Jiangnan and Sichuan, and does not have to use undurable wrought iron to make horseshoes and horseshoe nails, which greatly speeds up Tao Ying's army building pace.

Mi Zhu was still calculating and refused to speak, while Mi Fang stared at the sketch of the Thunderbolt Car in Tao Ying's hand, her eyes almost bursting into flames. During the stalemate, a green shadow flashed outside the door, and a young girl in green clothes suddenly appeared.

Walking into the hall, Tao Ying glanced casually from the corner of his eyes, but his gaze suddenly froze, and he couldn't help but swallow hard. It turned out that the girl who entered the hall turned out to be an extremely rare and stunning beauty, seventeen

, eight years old, with fair complexion, picturesque eyebrows, graceful figure, delicate and enchanting, Tao Ying has been in this era for more than a month, and this is the first time he has seen such a charming beauty in this era.

"Brother." The girl in green shirt opened her red lips lightly and spoke out a string of beautiful sounds like silver bells, "Little sister Mi Zhen, I would like to pay my respects to my two brothers."

"Brother? Mi Zhu and Mi Fang's sister? How could two 25-year-olds who look like human beings have such a beautiful sister?" Tao Ying muttered in his heart, then suddenly froze, and secretly shouted in his heart: "Fuck him!"

Yes! I was completely confused. How could I forget that Mi Zhu, a young boy in his second and fifth year, had a sister who married a big-eared thief and died in Changbanpo? Could it be that this beauty is the famous Mrs. Mi? Big-eared thief, you are the real one.

Mother is so beautiful!"

"Little sister, why are you here?" Mi Zhu turned his head and yelled at his sister: "My lord's second son is here, how can you show your face so casually, it is so disrespectful?"

"My little sister heard that the second young master is coming, so she came here to pay her respects." Mi Zhen, the girl in green shirt, pursed her lips and smiled. She walked up to Tao Ying generously, bowed and said respectfully: "My little girl, Mi Zhen, to pay my respects to the second young master."

, I have long heard that the young master went through fire and water for the people of Xuzhou, sacrificing his life for righteousness, Mi Zhen has great admiration and admiration, and seeing him today, Mi Zhen has been lucky for the rest of his life."

"Miss..." Deputy Director Tao almost shouted out of habit the names commonly used in foot washing shops and massage parlors. Fortunately, he reacted in time and remembered that the title "miss" did not exist in this era. He hurriedly changed his words and said: "Miss Mi

Please get up quickly, the girl is too praised, and Tao Yingshi doesn't dare to accept her."

"No." Mi Zhen was very polite and stood up and said: "When the young master persuaded Cao Cao's soldiers to retreat, Mi Zhen was in the East China Sea and could not witness the young master's feat, but he also heard what happened. The young master sacrificed his life to rescue him.

Mi Zhen admires the great righteousness of the people of Xuzhou, and has always looked forward to seeing the prince's dignity with her own eyes for comfort in her life..."

Speaking of this, Mi Zhen suddenly pursed her lips and smiled charmingly, and added: "Thanks to Mi Zhen for taking the liberty to come to see the young master, otherwise, Mi Zhen would really have been deceived."

"What do you mean by this, girl?" Tao Ying asked confused. Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were also a little confused, so they didn't shout away from their sister.

"Master, don't be angry after hearing this." Mi Zhen chuckled and said, "Someone told Mi Zhen that you are extremely ugly, with the head of a deer and the eyes of a rat. They also said that you have no eyesight, and that you are just a rotten tree..."

A bookworm who cannot be ignored. Hey, luckily Mi Zhen didn’t fall for her."

"Who said this about Tao Ying'er? It's really appropriate." Mi Zhu and Mi Fang thought together.

"Who said that about me? Do I have a grudge against him?" Tao Ying was even more confused, thinking that although the bronze mirrors of this era are not clear, I still know what I look like. Even if he is not a peerless handsome guy, he can

She definitely has a pretty face and looks talented, at least she can be considered a pretty boy, right?

"For her, the young master may have a grudge against her." Mi Zhen was very cheerful, pursed her lips and smiled: "Her father proposed to you, the young master, but you rejected it - the young master, you know that she is

Who is it?"

"General Cao Bao's daughter, Cao Ling?!" Tao Ying replied blurtly, and suddenly shuddered, subconsciously thinking of the extremely ugly Cao Bao's daughter.

Hearing Tao Ying's answer, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang looked at each other and realized that Cao Bao had proposed marriage to Tao Ying. Mi Zhen covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, saying: "That's right! Sir, please forgive Mi Zhen for being rude.

Sister Ling'er is as stunningly beautiful as the one that would captivate the whole country. Mi Zhen is not even half as good as her. How can the young master still have the heart to refuse? As far as Mi Zhen knows, there are definitely more than one or two scholars and talented people in Xuzhou city who have ever proposed marriage to Sister Ling'er!

"

"I'm afraid those so-called scholars and talented people all have myopia, astigmatism and cataracts, right? If Cao Ling was half as beautiful as you, I would have agreed long ago." Tao Ying muttered in his heart and said with a bitter smile on his face: "Miss Mi is too modest, it's Miss Cao.

My appearance is not even half as good as yours, right? Words such as "alluring the country and alluring the city" and "as beautiful as a fairy" are only suitable to be used on you, Miss Mi."

Mi Zhennian blushed, feeling both shy and secretly happy, but Mi Zhu and Mi Fang looked angry at the same time and scolded in unison: "Little sister, you are a girl who has not yet left the court, how can you say such a thing to Mr. Tao?

Go back to your room!"

Mi Zhen stuck out her sweet tongue mischievously, showing her innocent and lovely side, and saluted Tao Ying, and said with a sweet smile: "Master Tao, Mi Zhen has resigned. Before retiring, Mi Zhen has one more thing that she must tell you -

Although Miss Ling'er has said bad things about you, Master, Mi Zhen can see that Miss Ling'er still cares about you, and if Master changes her mind, Miss Ling'er will definitely not refuse."

After saying that, Mi Zhen immediately pursed her lips and smiled and ran out of the hall amidst the scoldings of Mi Zhu brothers. She sprinkled a sweet laughter like silver bells and a breath of sweet fragrance, and also took away Tao Ying's greedy eyes like a hungry wolf.

Looking at Mi Zhen's moving back, Tao Ying could not help but mutter in his heart, "What a bad luck. I happen to have a bad relationship with Mi Zhu's brother. If Mi Zhu marries his sister to me, I can consider forgiving them for their sin of cheating."

Already."

Sensing Tao Ying's lustful eyes on Mi Zhen, brothers Mi Zhu, who already disliked Tao Ying, were even more disgusted. Mi Zhu immediately coughed loudly, reminding Tao Ying to respect himself, and then Mi Zhu said to Tao Ying with a stern face: "Master, we still

Let’s get back to the subject, as I said before, my financial resources are very limited and I really cannot provide the young master with the wood, iron and raw silk he needs. I hope that the young master will be kind to you.”

After that, Mi Zhu did not give Tao Ying a chance to defend himself, and said directly: "Well, since the young master has opened his mouth, Mi Zhu can only do his best. Mi Zhu will offer the young master two hundred kilograms of iron and a bag of iron.

A hundred catties of raw silk can show your inner feelings, so there is no need for the young master to account for it."

"Give the big-eared thief so much, give me so little, these two bastards are really fucking born in the middle of nowhere!" Even though Tao Ying could not express his emotions and anger, he couldn't help but feel a little sad at this moment.

His expression changed. Tao Ying immediately left the table and stood up. He cupped his hands to Mi Zhu and said, "In that case, I would like to thank Mi Zhu for farewell. Tao Ying takes his leave."

"Master, go slowly." Mi Zhu did not hold back and ordered Mi Fang: "Brother, please send off the second master for me. Also, tomorrow morning, send the iron and raw silk to the master's camp and ask the master to reward them."

Mi Fang agreed and sent Tao Ying out of the gate of Mi Mansion with a smile on his face. Mi Zhu quickly drew the dimensions of the Thunderbolt Car on the picture without mentioning it.

Unhappy, he returned to the Junzi Army camp outside the east gate of Xuzhou. As soon as he entered the camp gate, Tao Ji, who replaced Tao Ying in charge of the army, had already come forward and asked Tao Ying straight to the point: "Second brother, how are you doing?"

?Brother Mi Zhu, have you promised to give us those military supplies on credit?"

"No credit, only two hundred catties of iron and one hundred catties of raw silk, no need to pay back," Tao replied.

"Dog thieves!" Tao Ji was furious and cursed: "Whose ministers are these two dog thieves? They gave Liu Bei so many soldiers, money and food, and only gave us so little. In their eyes, who is the real one?"

Is he the lord of Xuzhou?"

"Forget it, I didn't have much hope." Tao Ying shook his head and sneered: "Besides, it was just an excuse for me to buy military supplies from them on credit. The real purpose was just to let them know what I was building and let them

I no longer care about my construction site, now that my goal has been achieved, and I have obtained some scarce military supplies, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone."

As he said that, Tao Ying took out the sketch of the Thunderbolt Chariot from his sleeve and threw it into the bonfire in the camp nearby. Tao Ji couldn't stop him and said in surprise: "Second brother, didn't you say that this picture is true?

You can build a thunderbolt chariot for siege, why are you burning it now? Keep it to build a few thunderbolt chariots, won't we be able to use them when we attack the city in the future?"

"This picture is true, but it's a pity that it's too outdated." Tao Ying said with a sinister smile: "Of course I want to build a siege catapult, but I won't build one that requires dozens of soldiers to operate and only needs to be operated by dozens of soldiers.

I want to build a thunderbolt chariot that can shoot eighty or ninety paces, and it only requires a dozen people to operate it, and it can also fire a return cannon four hundred paces away!"

"Can it hit a return gun four hundred steps away?" Tao Ji's eyes lit up - just today, Tao Ji had secretly experienced the effects of stirrups and high-bridge saddles, and naturally believed in the new weapons Tao Ying said.

.At that moment, Tao Ji quickly asked: "Second brother, when will we start building the return cannon? I can't wait to see this new weapon."

"We'll start building it tomorrow!" Tao Ying's answer made Tao Ji overjoyed. "Those two 25-year-olds are very cunning. If they don't quickly start building a return cannon similar to a Thunderbolt car, those two 25-year-olds may not win.

count."

When Tao Ji cheered, Tao Ying couldn't help but glance at the towering Xuzhou City in the distance. Mi Zhen's beautiful figure flashed in his mind, and he finally understood why he was so angry. He seemed to

She is jealous and anxious.
