    "Your Majesty, Mr. Cai is asking for an audience outside the door. He looks very angry!"

    Liu Deng just breathed a sigh of relief when Du Ziteng suddenly came in and said.

    "You are so angry. What can make our Mr. Cai so angry? Let him come in!"

    Cai Xin is basically a technical geek and never pays attention to officialdom. However, with Liu Deng¡¯s care, no one from the top to the bottom of the Dai Kingdom would dare to show his face.

    "Your Majesty, why don't you change your position to become a master craftsman? I really can't stand this position anymore!"

    Cai Xin started to complain as soon as he entered the door. This guy even forgot to salute.

    "What happened? To allow a guy like you to come to me and show off your prowess?"

    Liu Deng was really curious, this guy was really here to show off his skills.

    "Your Majesty, this is the output of the Ordnance Supervision these days. Among them, there are several craftsmen who have contributed the most. According to your original proposal, I submitted a report to the Lieutenant's Mansion and prepared to give them an official status. But this matter  They were beaten back directly by the lieutenant, who said that they were just untouchables and not qualified to be officials!"

    Cai Xin said as he took out a scroll from his sleeve and put it on Liu Deng's table. Judging from the angry look on his face, it seemed that he was really pissed off by Wu Guoxiang this time.

    "Have you really developed coke technology?"

    Liu Deng was stunned and suddenly felt ecstatic. At first, he just mentioned it casually and then left it to Cai Xin and the others to put it into practice, but he didn't expect that they would achieve results so quickly!

    Although this thing looks inconspicuous, only Liu Deng understands that with the introduction of coke, the speed of steelmaking and the quality of steel will be greatly improved. Moreover, with the application of coke, the impact on wood carbon will be greatly reduced.  The use of it can be regarded as a contribution to preventing soil erosion.

    "This thing was made by Wu Kui. This guy did the most work this time. He used the method of refining charcoal to refine coal. Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good. This alone has directly doubled the output of several nearby iron plants.  I really don¡¯t know why the lieutenant refused to exchange such a great contribution for a small official with less than two hundred dan!"

    Cai Xin became angrier as she spoke, and started to gnash her teeth when she said this.

    "You don't have to be so angry. That's good. I'll give you a privilege in the future. You don't have to report the appointment and dismissal of officials within the Ordnance Supervision. You can just report to me afterwards. In addition, after the New Year,  I plan to expand the weapons supervision department again, and then turn the weapons supervision department back into a general supervisory position, and will no longer accept the jurisdiction of the Lieutenant¡¯s Mansion, what do you think?"

    This is also one of Liu Deng's plans. There are still many things that require a lot of manpower and material resources to study in the future. If these things are placed under the name of the Arms Supervisor, they will always be under the jurisdiction of the Lieutenant's Mansion. It is indeed a bit inconvenient to put the weapons  The prison was restored to the position of general prisoner, which was on the same level as the Lieutenant's Mansion. Only in this way could things be done legitimately and without any restrictions from them.

    "Is what the king said true?"

    Hearing what Liu Deng said, Cai Xin was immediately overjoyed. Liu Deng didn't want to ask so much from Cai Xin. After all, if he fell in love with the old bureaucrats in the officialdom, he would lose his original intention.

    That would be unsightly. What he wants is Cai Xin¡¯s innocent heart.

    "Of course what I said is true. You can go on and do your work. These people will do what you want. I will just go and talk to the Lieutenant's Mansion. You don't have to worry about it anymore!"

    Cai Xin finally got the promise he wanted. He came here angrily and went back happily. A pure guy like him is really not suitable to hang out in this officialdom.

    After Cai Xin left, Liu Deng began to secretly look at the scroll he left behind. He did not expect that the people in the weapons supervisor were so successful now.

    It seems that what the Taizu of later generations said is indeed correct. The wisdom of the working people is infinite. Without those bureaucrats, the entire military supervision and inspection department is running faster.

    In less than a month, there are now more than 4,000 sets of plate armor, and the number of Mo Dao has reached 10,000.

    According to Liu Deng¡¯s plan, the number of the Modao Army needs to be maintained at about 10,000. After all, Dai¡¯s civilian strength is limited, and the Modao Army¡¯s main role is to attack and defend, so a standing army of 10,000 is enough.

    Even though a large number of war horses were obtained this time, compared to the huge army, the number of war horses is still far insufficient, and infantry is still the main force of Dai State.

      Equipping the infantry with iron armor is what Liu Deng will do in the next few years. However, it is not an easy task to equip the entire army with iron armor.

    The steel production alone gave Liu Deng a headache, but fortunately, the coke technology and the blast furnace issue have been solved. After the completion of his own infrastructure, the steel production will be able to be doubled several times.

    Everything is developing in a good direction. Liu Deng is full of confidence in the future of Dai Country. After all, he is a time traveler. He has more than 2,000 years of experience. If he can't beat the Huns into obedience, then he will really be a time traveler.  What a shame!

    But what troubled him the most was the problem of cavalry. The existing cavalry in Dai State were really bad. Whether it was their fighting skills or their personal tactical accomplishments, they were completely unable to fight against the Huns. During this war, the entire cavalry force  There is almost no achievement at all, and it is completely at the soy sauce level.

    Such an army consumes several times more food and grass every year than other armies. It is the lowest cost-effective army. If there is no way to make them more effective, Liu Deng really feels like he is wasting food.

    "Pack up your things and let's go to the military camp outside the city to have a look!"

    Liu Deng was thinking wildly while processing the documents. In the afternoon, Liu Deng finally finished processing the documents. He stood up, stretched out and gave instructions to Du Ziteng outside the door.

    "No! I'll have someone prepare the car for me!"

    Du Ziteng also spent a day bored during the completion. Seeing the king preparing to go on tour, he suddenly became energetic.

    "Let them prepare the horses. The weather is nice today, so we will just go for an outing. By the way, how is Mr. Feng doing? Is he feeling well?"

    Liu Deng asked casually as he walked towards the door.

    Feng Jing was already very depressed. He was a good censor doctor, but suddenly he was beaten to the bottom and became the prefect of Yanmen. Whoever changed him would feel comfortable.

    Coupled with the exhaustion of traveling and traveling from Chang'an to Daiguo, he himself was not in good health and had some acclimatization problems. As soon as he entered Jinyang City, he fell completely ill.

    "A doctor has already gone to see me, but they only said that it needs to be nursed back to health slowly. I still haven't seen much improvement after so many days. Do you think you should ask Dr. Wang to come over and take a look?"

    "Mr. Wang? I think we should forget it and let the old man go and take a look. I'm afraid Feng Jing was fine at first, but half of his life was lost after he looked at it!"

    Liu Deng was gnashing his teeth with hatred for that old bastard. When he thought about this guy sticking a needle in his head, Liu Deng felt the roots of his teeth itching with hatred. It was just that he hadn't caught the old boy's fault for a while.  That's why he has been free until now.

    "I think he is mentally ill. Let's take a detour to see Mr. Feng first, and then go to the military camp!"

    Liu Deng knew in his heart that the emperor was using Feng Jing to compensate him. However, he was a person after all, not an object. It was normal for a good-looking court official to suddenly become a prefect. It was normal for him to have emotions, and he should comfort him.  !
