Chapter 181 Could it be Mr. Wolong?
Youde shook his head: "No, this is a workshop, I have to watch everyone work..."
"Let them do their thing. We...don't have to worry about it."
Ye Kun raised his hand and gently wiped away Youde's tears: "Does your stomach still hurt when you had your period last time?"
"It still hurts, but after using Teacher Wen's method, it's much better."
Youde blushed and whispered, "My sister-in-law said that after we get married, the pain will go away."
"Little girl, it turns out you want to get married."
"You're talking nonsense, I didn't."
"You have, you think in your heart. If you don't believe me, let me see your heart."
“Can you see my heart?”
"I can feel your heartbeat and know your heart..."
Ye Kun felt it with his heart.
Youde's heart was beating very fast, as if there was a little deer hiding in it.
After a long while, Youde sneered and said, "It's been a long time. Have you seen my heart?"
"I saw it. You are so bold that you want to eat me."
Ye Kun continued to feel that beauty, whispering: "You have two hearts, both are the same. Give them to me, Youde, give me both hearts, okay?"
"not good."
Youde suddenly pushed Ye Kun away, his face flushed: "Go back quickly, I want to go to the workshop to take a look."
"Then when can I see your heart again?"
"Didn't you say, let me wait a little longer?"
"Ok."
Ye Kun was reluctant to leave and patted Youde's head: "Silly girl, eat more. Next time I come back, if I see you so thin again, I will lock you up and punish you to eat half a pig every day."
"Got it. You should also take care of yourself and don't get too tired."
Youde smiled brightly and pushed Ye Kun: "Go back and get busy, I'm working."
Ye Kun nodded and said goodbye.
In the evening, Ye Kun accompanied Yue Juan and talked about this trip to Jingzhou:
"Yuejuan, Lord Wei said that he felt guilty about your parents and felt that he had not taken good care of them. Lord Wei asked me to come back to comfort you and also asked me to take you with me to visit relatives next time."
Ye Kun didn't dare tell Yue Juan about the murder in Jingzhou for fear of worrying her.
Yuejuan was reminded of the sad past. She curled up in Ye Kun's arms and sobbed, whispering:
"Although Lord Wei didn't take care of my parents, I am still touched by his words. Kunlang, if you have the chance in the future, go to Jingzhou again and thank Lord Wei for me."
"Don't worry, I will definitely do it."
"By the way, Kunlang, Sister Yourong is about to give birth, but I haven't seen any movement yet, what's going on?"
"It's not your fault, it's my fault that I don't have time to accompany you." Ye Kun kissed Yue Juan and comforted her:
"In fact, the best childbearing age for women is after the age of 20 and before the age of 30. Yuejuan, you are still young, and I don't want you to have children so early. You have two younger brothers at home, so you can spend more time with them."
Speaking of the two foolish brothers, Yuejuan felt a little sad again and smiled bitterly:
"My two younger brothers are ignorant and can't learn anything. What should I do in the future?"
"Don't be afraid, we can take care of the two younger brothers."
Ye Kun smiled and said, "I asked the carpenters to make a tricycle for us to ride and play on. It should be delivered tomorrow. My two younger brothers will definitely like it."
"Kunlang, it's hard for you."
Yuejuan was very touched and said, "Don't make things for your two brothers in the future. If others see you, they will say that you are not doing your job properly, not caring about government affairs, and focusing on boring things."
"No, the tricycle is also a supply cart model designed by me. I have a lot of them, so it can't be considered as a waste of time." Ye Kun said with a smile.
The horse-drawn carriages of the Dading Kingdom all had two parallel wheels, similar to flatbed carts.
A carriage with four wheels could not be made because there was a four-wheel steering problem that could not be solved.
Later generations solved the problem of four-wheel steering by relying on a small component called a differential.
Ye Kun doesn’t have the materials and can’t make this thing.
So we designed several tricycles, fixed-gear types, to be used for fun first, and also to help carpenters broaden their horizons and stimulate their thinking.
The next morning, the carpenters indeed delivered two three-wheeled fixed-gear motorcycles.
One big and one small.
Ye Kun went up to try it out and finally found the long-lost joy of cycling!
Because there is no rubber, we can’t make pneumatic tires, so your butt will shake.
If it is a paved road, this thing can also be ridden.
Yuejuan's two silly younger brothers were having a lot of fun playing with the tricycles.
Yuejuan was also happy. She took Ye Kun's hand and said with a smile:
"Kunlang, on behalf of my two younger brothers, I want to thank you. Only you have the ability to coax them and make them obedient."
"When the two younger brothers grow up, marry them off. Once they have wives and experience the joy of being married, they will be more obedient."
"Go, my brother is not as bad as you."
Yuejuan pinched Ye Kun and took him to visit Jiang Yourong.
After staying in Pingye County for four or five days and comforting Dai Xi, Jiao Jiao and others, Ye Kun went to Dongba County.
In Pingye County, Xiping Mountain, Shuangya Mountain and Dongba County, as well as Fuling County and Jigongling, Ye Kun arranged professional personnel and allocated special houses to start raising pigeons.
Once a complete military pigeon network is established, it will greatly enhance communication capabilities, save time and improve efficiency.
Carrier pigeons are not as magical as in ancient costume TV dramas, where messages can be delivered at will. But fixed point-to-point messaging is completely feasible.
If there were carrier pigeons in the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Bei could have sent 20 pigeons to Guan Yu every half a month when he was in Yizhou. When Guan Yu encountered an emergency, he could have released a few carrier pigeons to inform Liu Bei in time and get reinforcements, so there would not have been the regret of being defeated in Maicheng!
Taking confidentiality into consideration, Ye Kun numbered various landmarks. Tianmen County was 001, Dongba City was 002, and strategic locations such as Pingye County and Xiping Mountain were all numbered.
The leading generals, including Ye Kun and Shangguan Jifu, also had numbers starting with 5.
When the pigeons were sent, it was like this: 501 encountered the enemy at 001, 517 was in a tight spot, asking 502 to go to 003...
Don’t underestimate this simple password; outsiders cannot understand it.
In the future, when sending reports of military intelligence by flying horse, they can do so to prevent the messenger soldiers from being caught and the military intelligence from being leaked.
Ye Kun also wanted to set up a complex password, but it would require a lot of effort to cultivate cryptographic talents, which was too troublesome and he did not have the conditions at present.
After returning to Dongba City, the first thing Ye Kun did was to visit Yu Lian and her son.
The child was born half a month ago.
The child has grown up, and is fair and tender, very pretty.
Ye Kun held the child in his arms, showing a fatherly smile, and cared about Yu Lian:
"Yulian, are you okay? I'm so sorry. I should have stayed by your side these days, but I was always out and about..."
Yu Lian has also recovered and gained some weight. She smiled and said:
"Brother Kun, you have been so good to us mother and son. You have two of the best midwives, two of the best nurses, serving me here, and a special cook. My mother, sister-in-law, and younger sister are taking care of me, and there is also Chunhua. How can I not be good to you?"
As they were talking, Chunhua and Yulian's sister Yuhe walked in together.
Chunhua was holding a big bowl filled with fragrant chicken soup.
"Brother Kun, you're back."
Chunhua put down the big bowl and said with a smile: "I'll go get you a bowl of chicken soup so you can replenish your body."
"No, I'm not hungry."
Ye Kun shook his head, took Chunhua's hand, and said with a smile: "Chunhua, look at your little nephew, isn't he pretty?"
"Of course it's beautiful."
"When will you give birth to a child?"
"I... already have one." Chunhua blushed and whispered, "I'll give birth to you after the New Year."
Yu He on the side chuckled.
Ye Kun turned his head and smiled: "Yuhe, what are you laughing at?"
Yu He was adopted by her elder sister Yu Lian. She changed a lot in three months. Her skin became whiter, she grew taller, her curves became more pronounced, and she looked more and more like Yu Lian.
Girls really change a lot when they grow up.
"Master Ye, I'm not laughing." Yu He was still timid and shy, and answered weakly.
"I clearly saw you smile." Ye Kun looked at Yu He and said with a smile:
"Sister Yuhe, take good care of your sister in the future. I'm too busy, so I can only entrust you. When the child grows up, let him respect you as his aunt."
Yuhe nodded repeatedly.
Chunhua said with a wicked smile: "Let Yuhe be the child's stepmother, so that there will be one more person to love him in the future."
"Little girl, don't bully Sister Yuhe."
Ye Kun pinched Chunhua's nose and said, "Huang Jingzu is my son and also a child of the Huang family. He will continue the incense of your Huang family in the future. I will notify the Huang family and the Cheng family in Fuling and invite their clan leaders and elders to drink the full moon wine."
Chunhua was very touched and nodded, "Brother Kun, the patriarch of the Huang family has sent gifts, many old hens and eggs."
Ye Kun nodded: "I will train the child well and let him bring honor to the Huang family in the future."
The guards outside the gate reported: "Master Ye, the great scholar and famous scholar of Dongba County, Mr. Zhuge Feng, has been waiting for you in Dongba City for a few days, and has come to the county governor's mansion to ask for an audience."
"Zhuge Feng?"
Ye Kun was delighted, could this be... Mr. Wolong?
