Chapter 111: Inspecting the Back Mountain
Tang Zheng walked out of the room refreshed, and Cai Yan followed behind Tang Zheng with a shy. "Brother, sister-in-law. Come and eat! Tang Ji watched her brother and sister-in-law come out and greeted them.
"Well, my mother is early, and my sister is early!" Tang Zheng greeted his mother and sister.
"Is it early? Brother, don't look at what time it is. If my mother hadn't told me to let you sleep a little longer, I would have knocked on the door. Tang Ji said, and after speaking, he didn't forget to squint at his brother with his eyes.
"Well, I was a little tired and overslept yesterday. Well, let's eat! After speaking, Tang Zheng helped Cai Yan fill a bowl of rice and handed it to Cai Yan, and then he filled another bowl and began to eat.
"Zhang Chao, we were not at home at the end of last year, and the year-end summary was not carried out. In this way, you should send someone to inform the chief officials and military leaders of the counties to come to Rinshan to see how Youbeiping is developing during my absence. Walking on the way to the city hall, Tang Zheng said to Zhang Chao.
"Okay son, I'll arrange someone to convey it in a while." Zhang Chao said to Tang Zheng.
After a while, the two of them came to the city hall, and Zhao Yun had been waiting for a long time. He knew that Tang Zheng only came back yesterday and had a lot of things to do, so he didn't bother Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng saw Zhao Yun guarding the gate of the city hall from a distance, and he was speeding up and walking towards the city hall.
"Zilong, it's good to be away for a few months." Tang Zheng said to Zhao Yun.
"With the blessing of the king, everything is fine with his subordinates." Zhao Yun saluted Tang Zheng and said.
"Let's go, let's go in. I have something to ask you. After speaking, Tang Zheng took Zhao Yun and walked towards his office.
"Come, Zilong, please take a seat. There's not been much going on in the barracks lately! After Zhao Yun took a seat, Tang Zheng asked.
"That's why I specially reported it to the king." Zhao Yun said, "The subordinates have lived up to the trust placed by the prince when he left Rinshan, and have completed the tasks assigned by the king. Now there are a total of 5,000 cavalry in our battalion, all of which are light cavalry assigned by the prince, most of them are Wuhuan Hu people who moved inward, these Hu people have been with our Han people for a long time and have been assimilated, but their housekeeping skills are still there. I thought that since they were all part of the Great Han, I agreed to their participation when recruiting soldiers.,These Sinicized Wuhuan people are also very desperate when they train, and they are never ambiguous about the execution of orders.。 ”
"Well, Zilong, you handled it well, since they have abandoned the clansmen outside the border to join my Han, then we should treat them equally as our own people. By the way, how are your weaponry? ”
"Now most of them use wooden swords that they usually train, and their weapons and armor are not yet equipped."
"Well, in this case, you can follow me to the weapon workshop to have a look, and bring back your weapons and equipment by the way. I have only one requirement for your cavalry, and that is to be fast, so your armor is mainly light, and your weapons are mainly equipped with bows and crossbows. ”
"Well, I usually train him according to this policy."
"Let's go, let's go to the weapons workshop." After speaking, Tang Zheng took Zhao Yun and walked towards the weapon workshop in the back mountain.
"Fujun, don't come here for a few months." The steward of the weapon workshop, Xianhe, stood at the gate of the weapon workshop and asked Tang Zheng.
"Okay, how is Master Ou doing?"
"With Lao Fujun worried, the old man can still contribute to Rin Shan for the time being. Please inside the house! He made a gesture of invitation and said to Tang Zheng.
"So I'll rest assured, Master Ou, please."
Beat Xianhe was not pretentious, turned around and walked towards the workshop with Tang Zheng and his party.
"Master Ou, the workshop has expanded a lot!" Tang Zheng looked at the greatly changed weapon workshop and said to Xianhe.
"No, more and more people came to serve after hearing about our Rinzan Daimyo, and I accepted them all in line with the principle of not wasting it, so it is what it is now."
"Hahaha, it seems that I did nothing wrong by handing over the workshop to Master Ou. By the way, what is the output of Master Ou's workshop now? Tang Zheng asked.
"Now there are nearly 1,000 people in the weapon workshop, and they can forge 3,000 Mo knives every month. Two thousand bows and crossbows, and a number of arrows. As for the armor, it can forge two thousand sets per month. To achieve the current production capacity, it is all dependent on the hydraulic press invented by Fujun. ”
Master Ou laughed, I have a few catties and taels myself, and I still know very well. The weapon workshop can develop into today's situation depends on Master Ou's command! By the way, how much light armor and crossbow does Master Ou have in his treasury now? ”
"There are more than 6,000 sets of light armor, and 21,386 crossbows."
"Oh, there are so many crossbows?" Tang Zheng asked curiously.
"Last year, a lot of cattle and sheep froze to death in the grassland, so the people we sent to buy beef tendon collected a little more."
"That's right! Master Ou, I now need five thousand sets of light armor and the same number of bows and crossbows to assemble Zilong's light cavalry battalion, you have someone count it, and I will ask Zilong to send someone to fetch it. ”
"Yes, the light armor and the bow and crossbow are all counted, and you can come and get them at any time."
"Well, then I'll let Zilong bring someone to pick it up tomorrow."
"Good!"
"Master Naou, let's go to the hydraulic press and have a look." After speaking, Tang Zheng and Zhu Xian turned around and walked towards the hydraulic stamping machine.
"Master Ou, there is a meeting in Rinshan in two days, and I will send someone to inform you when that happens." Tang Zheng said to Xianhe after visiting the hydraulic stamping machine.
"Okay, I'll be on time."
"Well, Master Ou should be busy first, and I'll go to the mines to take a look." After speaking, Tang Zheng turned to Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, you go back to the barracks first, remember to bring someone to pick up the equipment tomorrow." ”
"Yes, Fujun! Then I'll take my leave. After speaking, Zhao Yun arched his hand to Tang Zheng and Yu Xianhe, and then turned around and walked towards the barracks at the bottom of the mountain. Tang Zheng also said goodbye to Xianhe and walked to the mine and various workshops.
"Zhang Chao, it seems that the pace of development of Rinshan has not slowed down during our absence." After Tang Zheng inspected various workshops and mines, he said to Zhang Chao in a good mood.
"Yes, Childe. Looking at the current Rinkan Mountain, who would have thought that two years ago this was still a small village, and the surrounding area was still a barren mountain. All of this is inseparable from Childe, and Rinyama has contributed to the development of Childe as he is now. ”
"Hahaha, don't put gold on my face. By the way, Zhang Chao's meeting will make a formal adjustment to everyone's positions, do you plan to continue to follow me or do you plan to go to the barracks to take charge alone? Tang Zheng asked Zhang Chao, Tang Zheng hoped that Zhang Chao would continue to stay by his side, but he couldn't force Zhang Chao to stay by his side and not give others the opportunity to make contributions. That's why Tang Zheng asked Zhang Chao.
"Childe, I want to stay by Childe's side to protect Childe, Zhang Chao is a hunter thanks to Childe's dislike of Zhang Chao to have today. There are already fierce generals like Brother Cheng, Brother Zhang, and Zilong in the barracks, but there is no one around Gongzi to protect him. So the subordinates want to stay by Childe's side and guard Childe. ”
Tang Zheng patted Zhang Chao on the shoulder and didn't speak, he didn't expect that Zhang Chao, who was only one year younger than himself, still had such a delicate side, he used to think that he was just a martial artist, but he didn't expect to underestimate him.
