Guo Xingzu is a man in his thirties in the prime of life, long thin and dark, speaking with a Henan accent, so that Zhou Nan has a sense of intimacy at first glance, Guo Xingzu saw Zhou Nan ask him, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "In Kyoto, the siege work is divided into ten works, and the villain is made of gunpowder. Firearms are made of fireworks, rockets, fireballs, arrows, firebombs, etc. The villain was able to come to Hebei because he escorted 10,000 rockets with a divine arm bow, 10,000 gunpowder bows and arrows, and 500 firebombs from Tokyo to Cizhou. Zhou Nan asked Guo Xingzu again: "Does Tokyo escort firearms to various places?" Guo Xingzu said: "Only Hebei East Road, Jingyuan Road, and Xihe Road have been sent, but the rest of the state capitals have not." Zhou Nan finally asked the most important question: "You are a gunpowder craftsman, you must be able to mix gunpowder?" Guo Xingzu said: "It's not a secret, there are six or seven hundred craftsmen for gunpowder, there are trial production, milling, charging, etc., the villain specializes in grinding powder, and the rest can be remembered." ”

Zhou Nan was secretly happy, as long as they were working together, they would see it even if they could see it, as the saying goes, haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run? Besides, in terms of trial production, he can provide a rough formula, and the charge is also simple, for him, the most difficult thing is the purification and processing of these raw materials, and now this Guo Xingzu is specialized in this, isn't this a charcoal in the snow?

After being delighted, Zhou Nan said to Guo Xingzu: "No matter what method you use, you can find this gunpowder ingredient from this cottage and make gunpowder, are you sure?" ”

Guo Xingzu saw that he was valued by Zhou Nan, and hurriedly replied: "The lord of the village is treated favorably, and the villain will prepare gunpowder for the lord of the village." ”

Zhou Nan nodded, and said with two words of encouragement: "You only have peace of mind, if you need it, you will talk to Uncle Liu; If there is any difficulty, come directly to me, and I will do it for you. Guo Xingzu nodded hurriedly.

Thinking of what Guo Xingzu said, only one gunpowder was divided into more than a dozen processes and hundreds of craftsmen, and couldn't help but be surprised by the fine division of labor in the workshops of the Song Dynasty, and thought that a few days ago he was ambitious, and he wanted the soldiers of the Hujia Society to open a hard bow one by one, so he asked Wang Jing, the craftsman of the bow and crossbow, to Wang Jing to make some hard bows, so that the soldiers of the Hujia Society could practice, but Wang Jing replied: "If you want the villain to make a bow and crossbow, you will do it, but you can't do it in a hurry. When to do a good material, how long the material must be placed before it can be used, there are six ways to make a bow: dry, angle, tendon, glue, silk, lacquer, spring corner, summer tendon, autumn bonding materials, winter bow body, the following spring and then string, just made of the bow is not tight, can not be used immediately, but also need to be stored for a year, in order to relax and powerful, will not destroy the bow. In this way, it will take at least a year to do it. ”

After hearing this, Zhou Nan knew that there was so much attention to making bows and arrows, and when he was distressed, Wang Jing said: "The lord of the village, that day I followed Liu Laozhang to the warehouse to pick up things, and I saw the bows, arrows, knives and guns of the Song army in the warehouse, among which there is a stone bow and a stone five bows and two stone bows, I don't know if they can be used by the owner of the village?" Zhou Nan thought of the weapons he got from the bandits in Wohu Mountain, but he didn't know that they were in the army, so he asked how many they were, and Wang Jing said casually: "There are mostly stone five bows, there are thirty or fifty pieces, and one stone bow is the most common in the Southern Dynasty army, and two stone bows are the least, only five or six." Zhou Nan secretly wrote down these and encouraged Wang Jingyi.

The craftsmen who make large furnaces, small furnaces, and vests can't use them for the time being, so they asked whether it is feasible to make arrows, stick to the cottage, and the most important thing is the bow and arrow, of which the arrows are the most lossy, and Zhou Nan can't help but ask.

The arrows were made by Li Dayong and Sun Ning, and the two came forward to reply: "Making arrows is my two business, don't worry about the owner of the village, the two of us will specialize in making arrows from now on, and they will definitely be able to use the cottage." ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said to Liu Zongwang: "Uncle, the arrows are Li and Sun, and they will focus on the arrows in the future, and the rest of the matters don't have to bother the two of them." ”

Liu Zongwang agreed and wrote it down.

The matter of the retort has been explained to the carpenter Shen Ding, and there is no need to rush to ask. The other craftsmen have nothing to do now, and Liu Xin and Yue Xing, who are made of vests, see that other craftsmen have things arranged by Zhou Nan to do, and they are even more anxious to perform, Liu Xin said to Zhou Nan: "The little one and Yue Xing also ask the owner of the village to order something to do." Zhou Nan asked the two of them, knowing that these two people were making vests, and now there are very few war horses in the cottage, so the cavalry naturally doesn't need them, and it takes manpower and material resources to build vests, at least now is not the time. Zhou Nan's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know if the two of you can see the mole Zijia in the Duzuo Courtyard?" Although Liu Xin and Yue Xing were curious that the young hunters in the mountains knew about this mole armor, they were even more happy to be able to sell some strength for the cottage, and Liu Xin hurriedly replied: "Both of us can build this mole armor, let alone see it." Legend has it that at the beginning, my Central Plains people learned from the Southwest Qingtang Qiang, the Qiang people are good at forging armor, the iron color forged is blue and black, and the hair can be seen clearly............ "That Yue Xing even said: "Dazhai master, this mole armor is soft and tough, fifty steps away from the armor, the strong crossbow can not be shot into, it is really a talisman armor for people who go into battle" Zhou Nan nodded hurriedly, these two people saw that others opened their own business, held back, smiled and nodded to the two of them: "You two can rectify the tools, to be ready, there are other important things to entrust, when the time comes, don't miss the big things in the village." Liu Xin and Yue Xing stopped their gushing introductions. Zhou Nan also asked these craftsmen to first make the shape of the courtyard according to the capital, and reorganize the house and workshop, so that everyone's skills could be used in the future.

When he left the craftsman's place, Zhou Nan called Wang Jing and went with him to the public treasury. Gao Bingchang was found in the public treasury. Zhou Nan first asked Gao Bingchang to open the public treasury room where the bows and arrows were stored, and asked Wang Jing to take twenty stone five bows and five two-stone bows from the library, send them to the playground, and hand them over to Gao Yuan.

After arranging these things, Zhou Nan came to the study hall near the left, where the children were reading in unison, and Lao Zheng Tou was nowhere to be seen; After thinking about it, Zhou Nan rushed to the Zhaimen playground again. These days, since they set the rules of the village and posted announcements everywhere, almost everyone in the village now knows about it, and everyone supports it. What the common people want is to live in peace, in this worry-free village, there are fields and houses, there are family guards and social guards, and they are not subject to the control of the government, and there is no rent and no endowment, such a day, who does not support it? There are also those outside mountain people who have just joined Sanssouci Village, and after knowing the rules of the village, they are also willing to obey them. Zhou Nan is looking for Lao Zheng Tou, just to see how many people have joined recently? How many young people are there? Zhou Nan wanted to see if he could choose some more people to increase the number of family care clubs. More than 100 people, it is too few, if you really encounter a regular army attacking the cottage, even if you build a worry-free village, you can replace the army with danger, but after all, there are people who are the main thing, plus if there are casualties when defending the village, the strength is even weaker.
