The head of the artisan camp stood at the foot of the hall, holding the paper handed over by Jia Ke, carefully looking at the production method on it, standing below for a while frowning, concentrating for a while, and thinking for a long time.

Only then did he raise his head and say to Jia Ke: "Lord Qiqi Qianhu, the method of making this paper armor you gave me is unheard of and unseen. I thought about it for a while, and if I made it according to the adult's method, I would be able to make the paper armor mentioned above. But I don't dare to vouch for anything else. ”

Jia Ke nodded after listening to his words, and said to him: "You recruit capable personnel, make two or three sets first, and I'll see the effect." If the effect is not bad, I will make a large number of them, and ensure that each of our Kaipingwei soldiers can have one. How long will it take you to complete the prototype? ”

The head of the camp bowed down and said to Jia Ke: "My lord will do it according to the method you said, and I will be able to make it for my lord in about three days." ”

Jia Ke then said to him: "It's still a little slow, speed up, I want you to make it for me within two days." Time waits for no one now, the weather is about to get cold, and the Tatars will not wait for us then. ”

The head of the camp knew that Jia Ke was telling the truth, and every year when the autumn was high and the horses were fat, the Tatars would invade on a large scale, so he thought about it again and said to Jia Ke firmly: "If the adults are in a hurry, the small ones will be made overnight, and I will make them for the adults within two days from now on." ”

When Jia Ke heard his words, he said happily: "Okay, I can really do it, and I have a lot of rewards." What's your name, I'll give you credit when the time comes. ”

As soon as the head of the camp heard that Jia Ke was going to ask his name, he was immediately excited, and said to Jia Ke: "My lord, the villain's surname is Chen Mingxi, and he will definitely live up to the trust of the adult, and he will definitely make this fingernail for the adult." ”

Jia Ke heard his assurances and said to him: "From now on, you will start making this paper armor, and when it is ready, you will immediately go to the Thousand Households Mansion and report to me." There must be no delay. ”

Chen Xi, the head of the camp, arched his hand and said: "I will never dare to delay the major affairs of the thousand households." ”

Jia Ke got up from the stool, walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't let me down, and I won't let you down." With that, he walked out of the room. took Liu Yu back to move back to the household registration.

After Jia Ke left, Chen Xi, the head of the camp, called all the most experienced opportunities in the craftsman camp, the masters.

These masters are all treasures of the artisan camp, and they have solved many problems in the artisan camp over the years. Among them, the master surnamed Wei is the most skilled.

This Master Wei is holding the paper given by Jia Kezi that records the method of making paper nails. He looked at it with frowning eyebrows, and said to Chen Xi: "My lord, this paper armor is not difficult to make. But it's hard to say whether it can be used or not. ”

And Master Zhang next to him also said: "It's unheard of to use paper to make armor." I'm afraid it may not be able to achieve the effect that the thousand households want. ”

Chen Xi said to them: "Anyway, something is better than nothing, and now none of our soldiers are wearing armor, with this paper armor." If it can be used, how many fewer people will die in a year for us to Kaipingwei? ”

A Master Zhu next to him, seeing that they were still grinding here, couldn't help it a little, and said, "Can it be done, won't you know if you make it?" It's useless to be here. It's better to hurry up and do it, it's really coming. ”

When Chen Xi heard Master Zhu's words, he agreed very much, so he immediately spoke: "What Master Zhu said is good, start doing it now, you three masters, each take a few people, and go to make it separately." But my lord said, there is a heavy reward for making it, and I don't want the bounty this time, whoever makes the bounty will be whom. ”

This time, the three masters became excited, don't look at them as the oldest and best skilled masters in the craftsman camp, but they are barely enough to eat and wear, if they can get the bonus this time, they don't have to worry about their lives for a long time in the future.

So the three of them didn't say anything, they glanced at each other, and a vigilant look shot in their eyes. And then there are their casual twists.

Chen Xi saw the movements of the three of them clearly, and was secretly proud in his heart, only by dividing the three of them so that these three old guys could be used for themselves. Besides, this time the reward is nothing to him at all, as long as he can register in front of the thousands of adults, the day of soaring in the future will not be far away.

At Chen Xi's request, the three masters of the artisan camp immediately took their apprentices and grandchildren to start the production of paper armor.

Because the information is only the piece of paper written by Jia Ke, many of the details are missing. The three masters each came up with their own ideas, and their apprentices and grandchildren also helped to come up with ideas, and it only took one day to make three pieces of paper armor each.

Chen Xi was pleasantly surprised when he heard their report. It was already the middle of the night, and he couldn't disturb the Lord Qianhu, so early the next morning, Chen Xi asked the three masters to go to the Qianhu Mansion with the paper armor they made with him to report to Jia Ke.

At this time, Jia Ke was also in the house, anxiously waiting for their news, and as soon as he heard that the family said that Chen Xi came to report with the made paper armor, he immediately ordered them to come in and meet them in the inner hall.

Jia Ke was waiting for them in advance in the inner hall of the Thousand Households Mansion.

As soon as Chen Xi and the others walked in, Jia Ke's eyes passed over them and saw three pieces of paper armor that had been made.

The three pieces of paper armor are generally similar in style, whether it is a helmet or the armor on the body, they are all connected by pieces of armor made of white paper.

Jia Ke stepped forward directly, looked carefully, and found that the thickness of these paper nails, although it did not reach three inches, was more than two inches thick. From helmets to armor, they are all connected to each other by such pieces of paper.

The more Jia Ke looked at it, the more he liked it, and turned to Chen Xi and asked, "After these three nails are made, can they be tested." How's the defense? ”

Chen Xi bowed down and replied, "Because the day before yesterday, the Lord commanded that once it is done, I will report to the Lord immediately." So no trials were conducted. I ask for your pardon. ”

Jia Ke waved his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you. This is what I wanted, too urgent. We were able to do it in two days, which was already a big surprise to me. If you succeed this time, you will have a lot of credit. ”

Jia Ke instructed Liu Yu on the side: "You go and inform the two deputy thousand households, and all the hundred households." Let them go to the teaching field, and let's see if these three treasures work? ”

Liu Yu heard Jia Ke's order and immediately went out to inform all the thousands and hundreds of households.

Jia Ke asked Liu Yu to inform everyone, and then said to Chen Xi, "Let's go to the church and wait for them first." Then he took the lead and walked out, Chen Xi and several old masters, with three pairs of paper armor, followed closely.

When I arrived at the teaching site in time, I found that the thousands and hundreds of individual households had not yet arrived.

Jia Ke ordered the nearby soldiers to erect three dummies in the center of the teaching field, and then asked the three masters to put paper armor on the three dummies.

When they were preparing, thousands and hundreds of households had already arrived one after another.

They looked at the dummy in front of them, covered in paper armor. With a puzzled face, I thought to myself, I haven't heard of anyone dying recently, so I will prepare paper armor for people. (In ancient times, there were some customs in some places, if a soldier died and did not have the money to bury the iron armor, he would use a pair of paper armor to accompany the burial).

Among them, Huang Baifeng, who was Jia Ke's deputy, Feng Mo came to Jia Ke's side. He respectfully asked Jia Ke: "My lord, now that no one has died in the castle, and it is not time to sacrifice, what are you doing with these paper armors?" ”

Jia Ke glanced at them, and said angrily: "Could it be that this paper armor can only be sacrificed?" This is the defensive armor I made for my warriors. I just finished it today, and I called you over to see if this thing can be used as armor? ”
