But there are people coming and going on both sides, and people from the inside often send people out to teach, and people from the outside often send them inside for further study, but under good discipline, there is really no leakage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wang Zhongping and the county lieutenant, the two of them have been busy recently, and after hurriedly handling official business in the county government during the day, they rode to the official residence to attend classes. is more serious than anyone else, and the wife at home can't take care of it at all, and she can't even find where the door opens. Wang Zhongping was originally a Taoist, but he was not a Huang Lao madman who only talked about nature and did not know how to change, but a research school that focused on classical dialectic. With his own ability, he learned new knowledge quickly and well, and even went to Taoyuan several times to participate in academic seminars hosted by Yuan Zhouzi. won great praise, Wang Zhongping's heart was like eating honey. I feel that all these years of officialdom drilling camps have lived to dogs. Knowledge is the power of truth.

And the county lieutenant, with his military talents, joined Xundao. The military literacy of his strategy is even higher than that of Zhang Quandan and others, mainly because he is suitable for the study of ordnance rather than the use of it. After seeing the gunpowder, he plunged into it, and the class didn't want to go to it, and reported to Xue Qing several times if he could resign and go to Taoyuan to concentrate on the study of ordnance. Let Xue Qing refuse.

I usually found time to study the crossbow bolt that Xue Qing wanted, and now the whole design work is progressing rapidly. The two men even sent their children in to mingle with the children they bought, to eat, live and study together. Xue Qing unconsciously made up a lesson for everyone, the concept of what everyone is born equal is a little earlier, and it is only said that all believers in the way of heaven are brothers and sisters. Flesh and blood.

Xue Qing found Yuan Zhouzi a few good calculations, and carefully studied how many people could be supported with the current emergency situation. Yuan Zhouzi and they calculated for a long time, except for the materials brought from Chang'an, those things Xue Qing was going to stay as the capital at the bottom of the box. Of course, I've been using it a lot lately.

According to Yuan Zhouzi's statistics, there are now more than 2,000 children under the age of fifteen, basically over the age of ten, or they can be regarded as full-time laborers in less than two years. The transferred guards and subordinate officers add up to four or five hundred, and these are the backbone. True henchmen.

The rest were two or three hundred of the adult servants bought, hundreds of recruited disciples, and the retired Han army transferred by Wei Qing, adding up to nearly three thousand.

It was 4,500 people. food, clothing, housing, and training expenses. According to the calculation, the annual tax revenue of the food is sufficient.

But if you recruit more people, and research new inventions or something, and produce new weapons, you have to count it separately.

Xue Qing is entangled, she has to find some more financial resources, relying on food alone, it is dead. It's a pity that in these years, there are not many things that come to make money, and any business and trade are all unreliable.

Before opening up new sources of wealth, they could only spend all the money from Huo Quai's illness first, and then ask Wei Qing and Pingyang for the main points, anyway, it was useless for them to take the money.

In fact, if you think about it, from the very beginning to the founding of the country, our party had no money at all. There are still so many people who throw their blood and follow the party hungry. It is simply a spectacle in the history of the world.

Although the people who are bought now are not paid, they are still paid when recruited, but Xue Qing has already called on the Taoist friends who join the Heavenly Dao to support the construction of the Heavenly Dao, so everyone unconditionally gives up the right to receive wages, and every time she thinks of this matter, Xue Qing feels like a black-hearted coal boss.

It's not enough to throttle, it has to be open source. It's better to let these people work for a while, give full play to their economic ability, and provide a little surplus value for Xue Qing to squeeze.

You can't always expect the old lady to earn money to support so many people alone, it's only a few thousand and you can afford it, what if it's tens of thousands, what if it's tens of thousands, just eat it to death. If one day, the capital chain is broken and the business collapses, you people will still be scattered. No, no, Tiandao must have its own business.

Since there was not enough money, the pace of expansion stopped again. He also focused on training and research, and just happened to try the self-reproduction ability of Tiandao.

It stands to reason that after a few years of education, when a child grows up, it is a sharp weapon from the mind to the body. Those adults are much worse, after all, they are not as easy to coax as children. It is difficult to change the beliefs that have already been formed. But I'm afraid there won't be much time for them to grow.

No money, no time, why is the old lady so inch. Forget it. At this time, Huo Quai's letter came, saying that the training was becoming more and more heavy, and by the way, he gave a poem, which was all Guan Guan Ju dove copied from the Book of Poetry. Didn't the bullying lady go to junior high school?

Xue Qing held the bamboo piece in her hand, knocked on the side of the boat, and muttered in her heart that this stinky boy was heartless, and he didn't know that the old lady had broken her heart.

There is a major scientific research project waiting to be accepted today. Xue Qing got up early in the morning and took a boat to Taoyuan.

As soon as he passed the road, Wang Zhongping and the county lieutenant hurriedly came to greet him, and Xue Qing was quite surprised: "Why is the county zun here." ”

Wang Zhongping said: "Your Highness, as soon as the crossbow is accepted today, the ministers are just here to join in the fun, unlike the county lieutenant, who has taken several days off and is preparing in Taoyuan day and night." ”

It seems that the enthusiasm is quite high.

Crossbow 1 is a crossbow arrow specially designed according to Xueqing's requirements, after more than two months of continuous improvement, today has reached the moment of acceptance.

A shooting range has been set up along the stream, but instead of a traditional round target, large wooden planks are connected together to check the effect.

Yuan Zhouzi was already debugging his weapons by the stream. Xue Qing walked over and took a look, the main part of this crossbow arrow is a bamboo tube, the kind used is relatively large, roasted with fire, and the strength is okay, in fact, this cylinder only plays a role in fixing the direction of the arrow.

At the point of the tube, the part that really works is the cast iron tube about a foot long, which is basically completely enclosed, and it is impossible to see what kind of structure it is, and there is a trough above and below. There is a clip at the end of the slot.

Yuan Zhouzi bowed down and said, "Your Highness, please see, this is the finalization of crossbow one." ”

Xue Qing weighed the weight, about twenty or thirty pounds, and felt good. said, "Let's get started." ”

Yuan Zhouzi commanded ten people to come out, and after training, these people already had some military spirit. They used a crowbar on their waists to put on the strings in the barrel under their feet, and then turned the barrel upside down, and loaded the crossbow arrows, which were in a holster in advance, the size and the barrel were just right, and when they picked it up, they inserted all the arrows into it, and then removed the holster.
