Wang Zezhi took Wang Er to watch Li Hua and Wang Sanlang train the sergeants.

Wang Er couldn't help but be amazed when he saw their repeating arrow skills, and he wished that his men could also learn this skill.

Wang Zezhi took advantage of the reason for Wang Er to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and ordered someone to prepare wine and food.

At the banquet, everyone took turns to toast Wang Er, and after Wang Er was drunk, Wang Zezhi coaxed and deceived the more than 2,000 people he brought to Li Hua.

As for Wang Er, he was named the general manager of Lian under his command by Wang Zezhi.

According to Wang Zezhi's salary standard, the total monthly salary is eight taels and the rice grain is four stones.

In order to thank Wang Er for bringing more than 2,000 young men, Wang Zezhi rewarded him with another 100 taels of silver.

Subsequently, Wang Zezhi arranged him to Yuxian County and bought him a house.

Since then, Wang Er has been unhappy drinking wine and eating meat every day, and gradually has some taste of happiness.

The two thousand young men brought by Wang Er are of very high quality, because those who are not in good health have died in various battles.

After Li Hua's brainwashing, these people received the new clothes designed and cut by Liu Yang, ate and drank well every day, and no longer had to hide in Tibet, and they all began to forget the existence of Wang Er.

Wang Zezhi had manpower, and began to build shields, although he had a lot of chubby in his hands, but the chubby was too small, and the range of protection was not enough.

Therefore, all he wants to build is a large wooden shield that is more than half a person tall.

As for why the Iron Shield was not built, it was because the Iron Shield was too heavy and not conducive to battlefield performance.

Craftsmen are needed to build shields, and the craftsmen of Yuxian County have been killed by the thieves brought by the loaches, so he can only send people to Shouyang to find some official craftsmen.

Since the new magistrate of Shouyang has not yet taken office, Wang Zezhi easily found a group of officials and craftsmen from Shouyang.

There are eight officials and craftsmen in Shouyang, and three of them are proficient in forging wooden shields.

These people stood in front of Wang Zezhi, all of them were rude, full of vicissitudes.

The clothes on their bodies were shabby, their toes were wearing shoes, and they looked at Wang Zezhi crampedly one by one.

Wang Zezhi arranged for someone to cook them a delicious meal, and brought eight sets of new clothes from Liu Yang.

After eating, these people had some energy and received new clothes, and Mu Ran's face finally became a little angry.

Among these eight people, there is a craftsman named Zhao Can, who is about thirty or forty years old, and his body is very strong, and he can clearly see the muscles on his arms.

"Adult, it's not a small bragging, the small shield is one of the best in this Taiyuan Mansion, in addition to this shield, the small one is also a good hand at building a fire gun, if the adult needs it, the fire gun can also be made."

Zhao Can's face showed a proud look, sniffed, and said to Wang Zezhi in a shy.

Wang Zezhi looked at him and wanted to confirm whether he was an expert, so he asked him some knowledge about building bird guns.

"The pipe must be made from the root to the general thickness of one foot two or three inches, so that it is appropriate.

The fate of the fire starts from here, and it is fixed here, and it will naturally go straight forward, and there will never be the danger of exploding... The fire gun consumes a lot of iron and steel, but adults don't have to worry, Yuxian and Pingding Prefecture have a lot of refined iron and fried steel. ”

According to Zhao Can's estimate, plus iron, steel, gunpowder, and the wages of craftsmen, the cost of a firearm is between eight and twenty taels.

Wang Zezhi asked him if he would make Lu Mi Gong, Zhao Can smiled, and said that Lu Mi Gong is not a Chinese cabbage, and not everyone can make it. Ranwen

Wang Zezhi suddenly remembered that he had two books, "Artifact Spectrum" and "Fire Dragon Sutra".

Wang Zezhi handed him the two books, Zhao Can trembled with excitement, he brushed the book cover with his sleeve, and read it page by page with trembling hands

"Yes, there it is, the manufacture of the Lumi Gun is here." Zhao Can pointed to a page in the artifact spectrum, and his excitement was overwhelming.

Wang Zezhi didn't read this book carefully, and he didn't expect that there was a method of building Lu Mi Gong in this book.

Since there were a lot of firecrackers in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zezhi was very worried about this and asked Zhao Can if he could solve this problem.

Zhao Can said with a smile: "My lord, the reason why the firebird exploded was caused by cutting corners, secondly, when the craftsman was making the gun, he did not start from the root, resulting in the uneven thickness of the gun, and thirdly, the skill was not perfect, and the made guntube was defective.

But the small ones are skillful, and as long as the adults give enough refined iron and fried steel, the small ones can create a Lumi gun for the adults that does not blow up the chamber. ”

Wang Zezhi was a little relieved when he heard him say this.

However, he was still a little worried, after all, even the firecrackers made by the craftsmen of the capital had many explosions.

You must know that the guns in the capital are to be engraved with the words made by someone, a certain year, and a certain month on the gun, even if there are still defective products.

Therefore, it is impossible for him to fully trust Zhao Can just based on his words.

"What Craftsman Zhao said, I will believe it, but we still have to make a note.

From now on, you will stay in the guerrilla camp and concentrate on building firecrackers, and I will pay your monthly wages on the first day of each month in advance.

Now it is less than a month, and I will pay you as many days as you want, and I will pay you as many days as there are left in the month.

Whenever you build a qualified Lumi gun, I will give you a reward of two taels of silver, provided that it does not explode, and the exploding does not count.

If the defective rate is too high, such as ten Lumi guns, and you blow up more than three, I will deduct the money, and in serious cases, your monthly salary will be deducted. ”

Wang Zezhi said flatly.

Zhao Can looked at Wang Zezhiyun's indifferent appearance, his eyes flickered, and finally he looked at the two books in his hand, slapped his thigh and said fiercely: "Okay." ”

These two books record in detail the origins, performance, advantages and disadvantages of firearms, the process of building, the disassembly of components, and how to use them.

The most important thing is that there are illustrations in these two books, if this can't be created, then he, Zhao Can, will be the head of these craftsmen.

Another point is that he has long heard that as long as he goes to the guerrilla camp, even the homeless people can drink wine and eat meat.

For these craftsmen who have not been paid for more than six months and are hungry and cold, being able to drink wine and eat meat is a life that only the gods can live.

Now that he had arrived at the guerrilla camp, he did not believe that he could not drink wine and eat meat here with his good skills.

"If you want to make a Lu Mi Gong, the shield can't be left behind, give priority to making a shield, Lu Mi Gong can be pressed back, but you can't relax, you have to take it to heart, I will wait for you to make the first Lu Mi Gong and give you a silver reward."

"Rest assured, sir... If we can't build a Lumi gun, I'll see you later. Zhao Can thought about it, he didn't know what words to use, he could only remember the jokes told by the storyteller

When the craftsmen behind him heard this, they all trembled, and a cold breath appeared on their necks, this Zhao Can had gone crazy in order to drink wine and eat meat.

Wang Zezhi smiled and asked someone to arrange their residence.

Subsequently, Zhao Can and the others were arranged, and Wang Zezhi divided the eight of them into a small barracks, and ordered people to temporarily build a small house next to the weapon room that had been built to shelter from the wind and rain.

Zhao Can and the others did not dislike this makeshift house, and as soon as the iron-smelting furnace was built, they took out the guys they carried with them and began to make wooden shields.
