Chapter 109 Returning to the Mountain

For Ying Yi, the Yuan Qi branch under Yuan Qi's plan is the future development direction. Although the development potential of firearms is visible, Yuanqi is more mysterious and unfathomable.

But unleashing this potential will not happen overnight. The opening of the Yuan Qi branch under Yuan Qi's plan only gave Ying Yi the key to open the door. To discover the secrets, more in-depth research is needed. For the time being, firearms remain a demand.

For a certain period of time, the armaments of the army in Ying Yi's hands will not change across the ages.

As Ying Yi's manufacturing focus, the workshop must also meet Ying Yi's needs in terms of firearms. At least until the gold-yuan alloy under the element branch is refined, nothing will change much.

To refine Jinyuan alloy, Ying Yi first needs to manufacture the basic Yuan Qi energy device, and then create the alloy refining equipment to seamlessly connect with the Yuan Qi energy device.

All this has not yet begun for Ying Yi.

"For the time being, firearms are still very important." Before leaving Bibo Valley and heading to Crescent Valley, Ying Yi said to Erniu and Pu Tiechui, "I know the time is too short, but I can't give up on studying."

He said to Erniu: "I will leave the two valleys of Fangcheng Mountain to you, Erniu, don't let me down."

Erniu nodded silently.

Finally, Ying Yi said: "Master Pu will pay more attention to what I said before. I will use it as soon as I get back after clearing the siege of Kaifeng and driving away the intruders."

Pu Tiechui smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir."

When Ying Yi rescues Kaifeng and drives out the intruders, the environment in Nanyang will immediately stabilize. That was the time to farm.

For Ying Yi himself, with a stable environment, it is urgent to realize everything in Yuan Qi's plan.

So at this time, Ying Yi had to make preparations.

Ying Yi planned to start manufacturing Yuan Qi energy devices and breeding devices immediately after ending the war against the intruders. The materials for making these two components must be prepared at this time.

The quality of components is closely related to the material used to make them. If we can be the first to create Jinyuan Alloy, then everything will be easily solved, but unfortunately, the prerequisite for making Jinyuan Alloy is Yuan Qi energy device. So we can only settle for the next best thing. Ying Yi asked the Bibo Valley Workshop to forge a batch of hundred-melted steel for him as soon as possible as a material for making Yuan Qi energy devices.

Compared with the completeness of Bibo Valley, Crescent Valley has just begun.

When Ying Yi arrived at Crescent Valley, he saw a busy construction scene. The people of Crescent Valley have begun to migrate out one after another in the past few days, and the vacant valley will be transformed into a large workshop like Bibo Valley.

So Crescent Valley looks very chaotic.

There were people dragging their families and families about to move out, there were officials and catchers shouting back and forth to maintain order, and there were also teams of slave laborers shouting and shouting to work on the construction.

Everything, although chaotic, showed a vigorous vitality.

Speaking of the matter of the two valleys in Fangcheng Mountain, Ying Yi handed it over to Er Niu, but Er Niu obviously didn't have the ability to sort it out. Fortunately, with the help of many officials, there was no trouble.

Erniu is uneducated. Although he was forced to learn literacy because he was responsible for some matters in Bibo Valley before, that was all.

Ying Yi's arrangements for him probably stopped here. Unless Erniu develops any great potential in the future, even as an old man who started his career in Yingyi, Erniu's future is foreseeable.

"grown ups!"

Jiang Xi came forward and bowed.

Jiang Xi had previously served as Bibo Valley's 'housekeeper's assistant' to help Erniu take care of Bibo Valley's chores. Although his time was short, his ability was evident. Now that Erniu has become the person in charge of the two valleys, Jiang Xi has also risen to the occasion and has taken on the specific affairs of the two valleys.

Ying Yi nodded: "Go up and talk."

Then he went up to a ridge on the side.

Ying Yi stood on the beam, and the entire Crescent Valley came into view.

"The Twelve Valleys of the Crescent Moon, don't move the innermost three valleys yet." Ying Yi said: "I have a use. I will seal people off later. No one can enter or exit at will without my order."

Jiang Xi nodded immediately: "Yes, sir."

Ying Yi said again: "I want to make two battle flags." He said, took out the folded blueprint from his sleeve and handed it to Jiang Xi: "The flagpole should be made of the best pole, and the flag surface should be made of rattan hemp. Tomorrow I will To see the real thing.”

Jiang Xi took the drawing, opened it and took a look, and couldn't help but ask: "Chi You Banner?"

Ying Yi glanced at him in surprise: "Do you know Chi You Banner?"

There are various theories about Chiyou Banner. Some say it is a celestial phenomenon, some say it is a comet, but no matter which one, it means war.

Chi You was one of the ancestors of the Xia Dynasty. He competed with the Yellow Emperor for co-mastership. Although he failed, after his death, he was named the Lord of War and the God of War by the Yellow Emperor. Since then, as for Qin and Han Dynasties, Chi You has been one of the main gods worshiped by the country. Whenever there is a war, the leader of the army must be worshiped.

The Chiyou flag is a kind of war flag. The flag is embroidered with the image of Chiyou with three heads and six arms, symbolizing killing and implying invincibility in battle.

However, since the Han Dynasty, Chi You, as the Lord of War and the God of War, has been artificially distorted and turned into a "demon". The country no longer worships the Lord of War, and the Chi You Banner has disappeared from the army. Until now, there are very few people. Know that the Chiyou flag is a war flag, not just a celestial phenomenon and a comet.

Jiang Xi said: "I like to read small books and unofficial history."

Ying Yi smiled and nodded: "Two Chi You flags, the flagpole is one foot three feet three inches, and the flag surface is four feet nine inches. Is it possible to complete it at this time tomorrow?"

Jiang Xi said: "Yes."

"Okay." Ying Yi said, "Call a few more earth-character masons, I can be useful."

"yes."

Not long after, Jiang Xi brought seven or eight masons. Ying Yi divided the craftsmen into five font sizes based on metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, corresponding to the Five Elements Workshop. Stonemasons are native craftsmen.

To be recruited by Ying Yi and receive generous salaries, these masons have unique skills, and it is by no means as simple as breaking stones.

Then he said to the stonemason: "I want to build an altar, with eight sides on the base, engraved with the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, vegetation, farming and livestock raising, poetry, etiquette, literature and Taoism, and war and conquest to expand the territory. The platform is one foot high and surrounded by Four feet and nine inches.”

Upon hearing this, several stonemasons thought for a moment, and one of them said: "Sir, it's not difficult to build an altar of one foot, but it will take half a month for only seven or eight people."

Ying Yi nodded: "It must be completed tomorrow. How many people are needed, Jiang Xi, you can dispatch them."

Jiang Xi responded: "Yes, sir."

This time Ying Yi hurried back to Crescent Valley just to build a humanitarian platform.

It is a top priority to build the Humanity Platform early, involve the Qi, enshrine the Humanity War Flag, and transfer the matter of capturing the true spirit to the military expedition.

Once the platform of humanity is erected, Ying Yi will have no worries anymore. In the future, he will not need to take action personally to capture the true spirit. Moreover, with the help of the Humanity Platform, Ying Yi can perfectly integrate the forces, know the opponent's enemies well, and use it to bestow true spirits and cultivate talents.

Then Ying Yi came to the deepest part of Crescent Valley and asked Zhang Siling to guard the entrance of the valley. He walked in alone with two boxes of jade.
