All the officials in Ji Country were stunned. The only thing was to be uproar.

However, Daxia asked someone to choose the prime ministers of the two countries and jointly recommend them. It must be reasonable and well-founded. It is impossible just because he was a fellow disciple of King Ji.

It is important to know that according to the practice of Ji State, if a high-ranking official with a score of 2,000 stones is more than a few years old, he will also be in charge of the palace position and be awarded the title of civilian at the discretion of his choice. He will be in such a high position at the age of fifteen and enjoy a salary of three. Is his age too... too light?

Liu Ye was talented as a king and liked the art of mechanism. According to what Liu Bei thought, he could succeed the Dalicheng Order first, and it would be appropriate to start with a thousand stones. Unexpectedly, the two prime ministers pushed him to the forefront and became a "trend player".

Liu Ye was inseparable from Zhou Yu when he was in Luoyang. Zhou Yu moved to Ji Kingdom with his family, and his father Zhou Yi was appointed as the commander of Jingshi. Zhou Yu was born alone in Jianghuai and entered the Taixue Academy. However, he did not change his sect again. He made a big splash and killed all directions. However, because he had no help from his fellow disciples, he was often attacked by groups.

After receiving letters from Zhou Yu, Liu Ye bid farewell to his mentor and came to help at night. The fellow disciples and brothers entered the school together and were invincible. They were called "Jianghuai Twins". Liu Ye was fifteen years old, and his junior brother Zhou Yu was only ten years old at the beginning. He was comparable to the name of "Saint Child".

The matter is very important. The so-called internal responsibilities do not avoid relatives. King Ji specializes in court meetings and ordered all 600 stones or more to attend the meetings. The officials of Ji State were asked by the palace.

Let’s see how Liu Ye is right.

All officials were in their positions, and King Ji was wearing a crown and made a grand appearance.

"Summon Liu Ye to the palace." Zuo Guo ordered the scholar to go straight to the point.

I saw a scholar from Jianghuai, with his Confucian uniform tied his hair and walked into the house. He bowed to the ground and bowed to the ground and bowed to the ground and bowed to him and said, "(Tai) student Liu Ye, pay homage to the king."

"Give a seat." Liu Bei said with great silence.

"Thank you, the king." Liu Ye stood up and fell down.

All the officials were in the same court and first entered the hall. Their faces remained unchanged and their behavior was normal. Liu Bei, who was the eldest brother, also nodded secretly.

Looking around the officials, Liu Bei looked at the head of the civil officials again: "Two prime ministers."

"I am here." Geng Yong and Cui Jun both stood up.

"Why not be a civil and military official? Let's explain why you choose."

"Yes." Geng Yong, the right prime minister, was in charge of internal affairs. He then reported: "Changlu and Changting counties, remove salt-filled mudflats. There are still fertile land in the north to be built. One mind should not be used. The two county magistrates should withdraw as soon as possible and take charge of the farmland in the shuizhong."

Liu Bei nodded slightly: "It is one of them to follow the power in an urgent matter."

"The Lord is clear to see." Geng Yong also replied: "However, the salt fields are different, and there is no precedent to cultivate and harvest. Therefore, we need to adapt to the situation and act according to the opportunity. In other words, whether it is a family official in the country or a newcomer in the academic field, what we know about the salt fields is the same."

Liu Bei also nodded: "The new things are all without old rules, and they are the two."

"Liu Ye is a famous teacher and has extensive knowledge. Although he is young, he is very talented. He is also a master of magical skills in the mechanism. The lord once said that Yantian needs to borrow various instruments to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Liu Ye is just a great use."

"You are young and talented, and you are also skilled in the mechanics. This is the third one." Liu Bei nodded slightly and asked again, "How can I know it?"

This was a question on behalf of all officials. Geng Yong smiled and replied: "It is false to hear it, but it is true to see it. Why don't the lord ask about the great power Su Yue?"

"Oh?" Seeing Liu Bei's appearance, Su Yue, Dali City ordered Su Yue, stood up and said, "Liu Ye offered a 'stone cart', and it has been built."

"So that's it." Liu Bei suddenly realized.

It is said that during the Battle of Guandu, "(Cao Cao) made a stone chariot, and attacked (Yuan) Shao Tower, and they were all broken. Shao's official name was 'Pili Car'." Rumors said that the design drawing of the stone chariot was presented by Liu Ye. It was installed on the machine pivot and launched the stone. Because the sound was like thunder, it was called "Pili Car". Also known as "throwing car".

Throwing a cart was not invented by Liu Ye. It was used in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was a type of ancient war chariot. It was called a "flying stone car". The car was placed on it and pulled by manpower, so that the stones in the basket could be thrown out. It was a long-range weapon that used the principle of leverage to eject stone bullets.

"Fan Li's Art of War": "Flying stone weighs twelve kilograms, and it is launched for the machine, and it takes three hundred steps."

What Liu Ye offered must be very different from the things in the pre-Qin period.

Sure enough, when the scroll was slowly unfolded, Liu Bei identified it at a glance. He gathered the tower crane, pile driver, and the mechanism used to combine it into one. First, use the winch to lift the counterweight end, wait for the crossbow to move the counterweight to fall, and throw the other end of the stone out. It is a very advanced "counterweight stone thrower". After careful observation, Liu Bei also saw the "torsion spring" used for energy storage and accelerated ejection. The most common torsion spring in later generations was placed in the wooden clip for drying clothes. He let go and closes it.

"What is the range?" Liu Bei asked.

"You can throw a projectile of one jin (15 kilograms) out eight hundred steps." Su Yue replied.

Far beyond the range of the crossbow. Nowadays, only the bed crossbow that stands high above the city and shoots thousands of steps from a distance can match it.

If it can be combined with the machine and the carriage into one, it will be a magical tool for destroying the wall!

How could Liu Bei not be happy?

"There are real things." Even Wang Fu Huangzhong, who has always cherished his words, couldn't help but ask.

"The real thing is too huge to enter the hall." Su Yue replied.

"Go down to the court and take a certain view."

"Here." Su Yue replied.

He is worthy of being a god of the country. He is powerful and can be distinguished at a glance.

"After this thing, all the city in the world will be destroyed." Jidu Yin Lou Gui also knew the benefits and disadvantages.

Right Prime Minister Geng Yong reported: "The new salt fields are only profitable. When it comes to employment, it should be free of charge. Therefore, my ministers and others recommend Liu Ye as the Order of the Great Xia."

Sure enough, it is reasonable and well-founded. King Ji looked at his ministers: "What do you think?"

Wang Fu Huang Zhong stood up and reported: "I will discuss it."

"I, please discuss it." Huang Gai, the General of the Henghai Central Committee, also stood up.

"I, please discuss it." The generals followed Wang Fu one after another.

Jidu Yin Lou Gui led the civil officials to discuss it.

If you can create this thing out of thin air, you are a genius. Why do you have to ask this more?

"In this way, let the Zuo Kingdom order to promulgate the imperial edict." King Ji said with a smile.

"Now." The scholar took the edict in his hand and recited it loudly:

"In addition to Dali Order Su Yue, he was appointed as the Arsenal Order. The rank was 2,000 stones, the 'silver seal and the green ribbon'. He also gave him 100,000 copper coins and 100 pieces of Shu brocade. The four seasons of court robes and a four-horse carriage."

"My minister, take the order."

"The title of the Tai student Liu Ye was appointed as the Grand Xia Order. The rank was 2,000 stones, the 'silver seal and green ribbon'. Another 100,000 copper coins and a hundred pieces of Shu brocade. Four seasons of court robes and four horses and chariots."

"My minister, take the order."

The female official brought the court robes and seals. The two entered the side hall and dressed neatly, and the clothes were displayed in the hall, and the seats were ranked at 2,000 stones. King Ji once said that he only needed to assign more than 10,000 households and more than 100,000 households, and they could be promoted to the order. The households and the population exceeded 200,000, and they would be given double salary. When Su Yue promoted the Dali Order, he also led the royal palace travelers and enjoyed double salary. Liu Ye had not yet achieved it and was not allowed to enjoy it.

"Who should Su Yue grant the Arsenal Order and the Great Power Order?" King Ji asked again.

The right minister said, "I will be the commander of Su Bo, and I will recommend one person."

"Who is it?"

"Why are you summoning me to see you in person?" Geng Yong replied.

"In this way, call us to the palace."

In a moment, a scholar came to the hall: "Wu Xun, Wan County, pay homage to the king."

Geng Yong introduced: "Wu Xun's courtesy name is Yuanshun, and he was from Wan, Nanyang. His ancestors were two of the twenty-eight generals in Yuntai. He was the Grand Sima Wu Han who was 'not so successful, just like a country'."

"It's my famous general." Liu Bei nodded happily.

"A month ago, I went north alone and climbed to the Sifang Pavilion. I regretted it and stopped at the Golden Palace. As the rules were used, I was appointed as the Thousand Stone Officials. The good craftsmen in Nanyang gathered together, and were well-informed since childhood, and were proficient in mechanical techniques. It is right for them to be used." Geng Yong said again.

When Wu Xun entered the Sifang Pavilion, King Ji personally went to Lou Sang to build the Pavilion and built a car behind closed doors. Therefore, he did not know.

"After the famous family, he was promoted to six levels, and there is no need to take another exam." Liu Bei Gan Gang made arbitrary decision: "The Zuo Kingdom orders, and the imperial edicts are written."

"Here." The Shi Yi wrote straight in the palace, and King Ji used the seal on the spot.

"Wu Xun was granted the order of Dali. He was given one thousand stones, a 'copper seal and a black ribbon'. He also gave him five hundred taels of gold, fifty thousand copper coins, and fifty pieces of Shu brocade. He was given four seasons of court robes and a carriage."
