Chapter 15: Chance Encounters

In fact, in the case of low technical conditions, copper is a better artillery casting material than iron, and the melting point is low and the hardness is low and easy to process, the disadvantage is that it is too expensive, they have also tried to make a cannon with copper, but after making it, they can't help but want to turn the copper cannon into copper money.

As soon as Guo Wenying came in, a craftsman saw it, hurriedly stood up and saluted, and shouted happily: "The quartermaster is here." ”

As more and more craftsmen shouted around, they all saluted her, "I've seen the quartermaster." ”

Guo Wenying politely returned the salute, softly comforted them, and told them to work hard and reward them for their merits after they were completed.

Zhang Xinfang said that she is the backbone of the workers, although there is some exaggeration, but it is not a complete nonsense, Guo Wenying has a high reputation in the workshops of the supervision office, which is not all because she is the current official of these people, but more because of her ability.

She is very proficient in the craftsmanship of various weapons, and is proficient in mechanical techniques, good at improving and innovating, and many of the workers' techniques are taught by her. Except for her small strength and inability to hit iron, she is no worse than these workers in other tasks.

Sometimes, when I am not busy outside, I will stay here for a few days, working with the workers every day, and occasionally learning some new skills. There are also some ready-made crafts that I learned from the old craftsmen here.

In the past, her master often said that skills are not pressing, no matter who it is, it is not a bad thing to have one more skill on the body. So when she was very young, the master often asked her to make things by herself, although her hands were very rough and her arms were a lot thicker, but she learned everything she should have learned. Otherwise, just with the official position given to her by Feng Jingting, it would be really difficult for these craftsmen to convince her.

Guo Wenying exchanged a few words with several foremen, told them to go down to work, and told them to be careful and pay attention to fire safety.

Several foremen obeyed the orders and led the workers down.

The cast iron cannon body is first completed in the ironsmith, and after the construction is completed, it is taken to the firearms workshop to assemble, and finally the ammunition is filled. A cannon should be equipped with at least a hundred shells, and ten guns are a thousand. Although they are all skilled workers, they can complete the entire loading job in a month, which is an astonishing amount of work.

Looking at the slightly tired faces, Zhang Xinfang was also a little unbearable, and said in a low voice: "My lord, you also know that the workshop is not allowed to light the lamp, and it is impossible to work at night. ”

Guo Wenying shook her head, time is really not something she can control, Warat will start a war at any time, they may not be able to wait for a month.

After thinking about it, he said: "There can be less ammunition first, the casting and assembly of the cannon body must be paid attention to, and the big war may start when it starts, and you also know that once the construction period is delayed, it is not possible to lose one or two heads to finish the matter." ”

Zhang Xinfang hurriedly bowed, "Yes, the lowly post must step up his efforts to supervise and rush to work." ”

Guo Wenying nodded, and set up with Zhang Xinfang to test the artillery in a few days.

Zhang Xinfang should all be ordered, what he listened to in the army was the military order, and the commander's orders had to be completed by any means.

After everything was done, Guo Wenying also got up and left. While slowly riding his horse out of the valley, he secretly thought to himself: The four artillery pieces that have already been built must always be tested for power, and it is impossible to find trouble with Warat again this time for the test cannons, but where is the best place to find it? There is also the Nine Palaces maze outside the valley, once the artillery is transported out, the valley mouth is not spacious enough, and the maze will also have to be dismantled. And this supervision office, which I have devoted a lot of effort to, is it really going to be destroyed?

I was thinking about things in my heart, and I didn't know how long I had been walking out, when suddenly the horse under me shook violently, and the horse raised its body and let out a long neigh.

She panicked, and when she looked up, she realized that she hadn't looked at the road, and the horse's head had collided with a carriage, but fortunately the horse stood in time, otherwise it would have crashed into the body, and she would have been injured.

It was a very luxurious carriage, with a body made of golden silk nanmu, and the carriage was surrounded by expensive and exquisite silk, and the gold-inlaid windows (you) were covered by a curtain of pale blue crepe, coupled with a delicate curtain woven of silk, which made people think of two words at a glance: rich.

Guo Wenying can be regarded as having seen the big scene in Beijing, but few families can have such a generous carriage.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. She hurriedly jumped off the horse, afraid of being scolded, so she hurriedly apologized first.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a handsome boy walked out of it. The boy was dressed in a snow-white robe embroidered with green bamboo, and a cloak that was also embroidered with bamboo, his smooth and white face showed a cold and angular handsomeness, his dark and deep eyes, which were full of charming color, and his thick eyebrows, high nose, and beautiful lips gave people a sense of nobility and elegance all over his body.

Guo Wenying has always liked men with good manners, and she likes them even more when they are handsome, but he is such a person in such clothes, and he is still harmonious when he appears on the streets of the bustling city.

"This lord, is he a person in the Northwest Army?" Childe's voice was also very good, soft and soft, with a glutinous vigor unique to the south.

Guo Wenying looked at the military uniform on his body, and he didn't have to hide the military uniform of the Northwest Army, so he nodded and said: "I am a person from the Northwest Army, I don't know ...... this son?"

As soon as she opened her mouth, the boy looked at her in some surprise, and said in his heart, why is such a delicate and bright young man with such a hoarse voice? Although it is not difficult to hear, he always feels that he has a bit of a violent nature, and he has failed this excellent skin.

He clasped his fists, "In Yuntang below, I came from the south, and I have something to do in the northwest military camp, and I don't know how to go. ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just on the way. Guo Wenying nodded hurriedly, and couldn't help but look at others a few more times, she has seen a lot of beautiful men, there are men in the army, strong, thin, handsome, rough, really ring, fat and thin, everything.

There are also those who are as beautiful as Feng Jingting and are so angry that they don't need a reason at all; there are also those who are as bad as Lu Weixin, who are so beautiful and a little innocent; and there are also those like Chen Zan, the general of the Chinese army, who are obviously not good people, but they can't help but make people look at them a few more times. But the sum of these people is not as good as the person in front of them, looking at him, it is like a dry land suddenly pouring into a clear spring, how can it be so comfortable.

If such a 'beauty' were to be surrounded by a group of big-headed soldiers in the barracks, and ...... would be like that?

There are countless pictures of weak sons being bullied and crying fathers and calling mothers, and they are very sympathetic to this son who met for the first time. In a place surrounded by male wolves, it is difficult to get in and out!

That boy didn't know that Guo Wenying was the best at 'thinking', just for a while, she didn't know how many thoughts turned in her mind, she had been in the barracks full of men for a long time, and it was inevitable to think about life with colored thoughts, and to think about beauties by the way, it was purely idle and boring.

Guo Wenying politely led the way in front, Fang Gongzi was very grateful for her unexpected enthusiasm, and he didn't sit in the car, just leaned on the wheel and spoke politely to her.

His sitting posture is not very elegant, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, and his smile is kind and a little alienated, "It's really admirable to see that the little brother is not very old, and he has already served in the army." ”

"Well said, well said. Guo Wenying doesn't mind that she has changed from an "adult" to a "little brother", with a beautiful man on her side, she is even happier to be closer to others. Especially if he is an unsuitable person who has suddenly appeared, who has traveled thousands of miles, what is he doing from the south to the northwest?
