"Crackle", "Crackle"

As soon as the Tongji docked at the dock of Liujia Village, Su Jin and others, who had been waiting here, immediately lit firecrackers, and with the villagers of Liujia Village who were beating gongs and drums, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.

"Congratulations to the second young master for winning the first place in the county exam!"

"Congratulations to Uncle Uncle, Dou Gongzi, Assistant Xu, and Chen Gongzi for passing the county exam!"

Good guys, the directors of all the houses in the village are basically here.

Chen Yiding stood behind Liu Ximing and couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and waved vigorously to the crowd on the dock, quite a feeling of returning home.

Liu Ximing was not used to these scenes, and after smiling and waving to everyone, he walked up to Su Jin and the other supervisors who stayed behind and smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, I have been in turmoil for a few days, but fortunately, I was able to take the exam with peace of mind, Liu Mou is here to thank you." ”

Fucheng is not far from Liujia Village, and any important news in all villages can be notified to Liu Ximing in time.

Zhang Yuanlong had palpitations on his face when he heard this, not to mention the constant turmoil, just like the spy war blockbuster that the second brother said.

In the past half a month, the thieves who went to the village to listen to the news and steal secrets were wave after wave, but fortunately, with the previous Chen family's incident as a reminder, Liu Ximing quickly re-established the police room in the village, and taught some of the police management knowledge he knew in later generations, so that these thieves could be arrested one by one in time.

In the past, for the more than 10,000 new recruits in Liujia Village, the village managers could not fully grasp the latest situation of each family, and the management method was slightly extensive.

But now there are more than 150 people in the police house, and every 10 to 20 people are zoned and managed, and the police know exactly which people live in which area and what these people do.

It was for this reason that several spies were arrested for unknown reasons, and Liujiacun used vivid examples to educate them about how terrible a fully organized and managed collective is.

In addition, the second phase of the fortifications of Liujia Village is also in full swing, and the two areas along the river in the north and south are beginning to gradually fill in the silt land, and at the same time build wooden city walls.

Liu Ximing knew what he was thinking when he saw Zhang Yuanlong's expression, he laughed and patted Zhang Yuanlong on the shoulder, and encouraged him: "You have done well in the past few months, it seems that it won't take long for you, the deputy superintendent, to become a regular." ”

"Oh, sure enough, the people's war is the most powerful", Liu Ximing made a posture to expand his chest, and he was prepared at home, but now he only feels refreshed.

"This is just the beginning, in the future, we will explore the establishment of a council, mobilize the enthusiasm of the villagers to participate in urban construction and prevent external troubles, and at that time, it will be the real unity of mind and water will not be poured in."

At present, the world has entered the Age of Discovery, and although feudal rule can be maintained for hundreds of years, it will eventually be swept into the dust of history and replaced by a more civilized civil society.

However, in order to build a sound civil society, various civic organizations are indispensable to help bring into play the enthusiasm of all people to participate in social activities.

"Hahaha, what the second young master said, but let's talk about these later, how about we go to the ancestral hall to worship first?" , Su Jin knew that Liu Ximing was about to start coming up with new ideas again, and it was not a matter to stand on the dock and talk about things at the moment, so he simply suggested going to the sacrifice first.

"Okay", Liu Ximing stretched out his hand and waved it arrogantly, "Brothers, let's go to the ancestral hall first." ”

"Whoa"

"A Worship of the Emperor"

"Erbai Yanhuang"

"Three Worships to the Sages"

A group of people came to the ancestral hall of Liujia Village, and after Liu Ximing took the lead and recited a few words of gratitude and blessing, the loud voice of the ancestral hall master of ceremonies sounded in the empty hall, and everyone stood and bowed.

"When", the master of ceremonies tapped the bronze bell to signal the end of the worship.

"Since you're here, let's have a meeting here", Liu Ximing turned around and saw that there were only one or two villagers in the main hall who came to worship, and motioned for Liu Xihe to go up and ask these two people to hurry up and worship and close the door.

"In addition to the previous report, is there anything else you have to report in each room?" , Liu Ximing sat on the bench with his butt and motioned for everyone else to sit down and reply.

Su Jin, as the leader of the left-behind personnel, immediately sat up and leaned forward and said: "Young master, there is a lot of good news here in the workshop, the Smelting Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau have jointly improved the method of casting cannons, and the first four-inch cannon has been successfully trial-produced, and the young master can review it at any time." ”

"What?"

Liu Ximing slapped his right hand on the armrest, and blurted out with surprise on his face.

The original artillery in Liujiacun was only a kind of crow cannon equivalent to a 4-pounder gun, and now the newly developed four-inch gun is close to the caliber of a 24-pounder gun.

"How could it be successfully developed suddenly, didn't you say before that the strength of the cannon barrel made by the Smelting Bureau was not enough?"

Su Jin smiled, although he had learned Liu Ximing's materialism and was convinced that Gewu technology was the key factor in promoting the development of productive forces, but after all, he was a traditional literati, and he was still a little reluctant to do anything about these craftsmen.

Of course, Su Jin can also be regarded as a model of doing a line of love and a line of love, anyway, he will take the initiative to learn and understand what Liu Ximing values, which is much better than most readers today.

At this time, he was also unequivocal when it came to the key to this, "Young master, this is still because our hydraulic forging hammer has been successfully developed, although in the past, it was also made of iron fan, but there are still a lot of pores in the cannon body, and now there is a hydraulic forging hammer, when the cannon body is not cold, use the forging hammer to continuously knock the cannon body, and the cannon will be more resistant to explosion...... It's a pity that the strength of the hydraulic drilling machine is not enough, otherwise you can directly drill the bore. ”

"Hahaha, I don't want to become an expert in weapons, not bad", Liu Ximing laughed heartily, not only for the newly developed artillery, but also for the transformation of Su Jin, an old Confucian student.

As Su Jin said, now this kind of cannon-making process is still a little backward, the iron cannon in the process of making steel core to make the cannon cavity, unlike the later generations of cannons are one-piece molding, and then use a drilling machine to drill, so that the inner wall of the cannon is smoother, and the quality of the gun body is better.

Hey, when will you be able to light the steam engine, Liu Ximing had a broken thought in his heart.

"Young Master", Gu Nan saw that Su Jin finished speaking, and then said: "The workshop has recently made a few microscopes according to your requirements, and our infirmary has also done several bacteriological experiments with this object, but it seems that we haven't found the Penicillium you said yet, and the young master will ask the infirmary for guidance when he is free." ”

As soon as Gu Nan talked about this bacteriological experiment, the people around him were all cold, and their faces were full of disgust.

A few days ago, Gu Nan just got this microscope and began to go to various filthy places to find some samples to observe, Su Jin heard that the infirmary had new results, and without thinking too much, he took all the supervisors to inspect, but everyone was scared enough by the dense bacteria in the microscope.

"Okay, this is great news", Liu Ximing couldn't help but rub his hands and said happily, now modern medicine is about to originate from Liujia Village.

Seeing that everyone else had an unknown expression, Liu Ximing smiled and explained: "With the microscope, we can have a better understanding of the microscopic material world, and many problems and diseases that were difficult to solve in the past can be found from it, such as the penicillium fungus that Dr. Gu just said, once it can be made into medicine, the death rate of the wounded soldiers of the Longxiang Regiment will be reduced by at least half in the future." ”

"What?"

"So powerful?"

With this intuitive introduction, everyone suddenly had a new understanding of the role of the infirmary, especially Mu Jingnan and the other people from the Long Xiang Group, who almost had a bright look in their eyes when they looked at Gu Nan.

Seeing this, Liu Ximing laughed and said: "Don't get excited, the development of medicine will take a long time, just wait patiently." ”

"By the way, how are the recruits trained by the Dragon Clan?" , Liu Ximing turned his head to Mu Jingnan and asked.

Mu Jing straightened his waist with difficulty, "Second brother, rest assured, all the personnel of the Longxiang Regiment can enter the battle at any time, even if they are recruits, as long as the array does not disperse, it is no problem to fight two at a time." ”

"Heh, you just blow it", Liu Ximing laughed and scolded, the earliest of the Longxiang Regiment was only one year of training, if he could become an elite soldier so soon, then Liu Ximing would really wake up laughing when he fell asleep.

After these major battles, he was deliberately avoiding the situation of dividing his troops, and he must try his best to pinch everyone together, coupled with the advantage of firepower, these teenagers can fight the battle smoothly.

But now that the recruits have been training for almost three months, it's time for expansion.

"Respect for difficulties, respect for thought, you two go back and sort it out, let's set the promotion list in the next few days, and the Longxiang regiment will be expanded into the Longxiang battalion immediately, with five regiments under its jurisdiction, with a total of about 2,000 people."

"Huh", Mu Jingnan and Li Jingsi saluted and replied excitedly, they can finally be upgraded again, and this time many brothers can also mention it.
