Zhu Yuanshan was very surprised by the industrial construction of Qingquan Village, mainly because he did not expect that a village would be equipped with such a complete industrial base system.

"Please rest assured, the small one must be sure to cast a good cannon for you, because you provide the best environment for the small one to build a cannon here, there is a hard and good steel to plane and mill the pipe wall, and there are such convenient hydraulic conditions."

Zhu Yuanshan made a promise to Lu Yuan, and immediately began to prepare for the casting of artillery.

The first is the construction of the artillery casting base, which was jointly designed by Zhu Yuanshan and Chunjian First Bureau, and used a sandy area in the northeast of Qingquan Village as an artillery casting base.

The entire artillery casting base is composed of four parts: an artillery manufacturing workshop, an artillery shell manufacturing workshop, a test firing field, and a storage warehouse.

Because there is only one quasi-technician in Zhu Yuanshan for the entire artillery casting, and the entire artillery casting process and inspection process have not yet been finalized, it is not possible to set up an assembly line for production for the time being.

During the construction of the artillery casting base.

Lu Yuan was called by Huang Jiayin, the deputy commander-in-chief, because he was promoted to deputy Qianhu and promoted to the defense officer of Qingshui Zhenbao and the general manager of Jiama Battalion.

Lu Yuan used to be a test hundred households, but now he has been promoted to the deputy thousand households of the health center, which is equivalent to being promoted from the sixth grade to the fifth grade official in terms of grade.

As for the defensive officer, it is equivalent to the current increase in his authority from managing a garrison of Qingquan Village to managing the entire Qingshui Town Fort.

And Jiama Yingqian explained that Lu Yuan is now not only a guard officer, but also a battalion officer.

The Ming military system is divided into the guard system and the battalion system.

The officers and men of the guard system are mainly stationed and guarded, while the officers and men of the battalion system are mainly fighting.

Normally, battalion officers are also recruited from the guards or directly from the martial arts.

Lu Yuan first obtained the status of Wuju through his father-in-law Tang Jin, and then was appointed to the rank of trial hundred households, and with the help of Governor Yan Jizu, he became the chief flag officer of Qingquan Village.

Now, because of his first contribution to suppressing bandits, Lu Yuan has been promoted to the deputy thousand households and battalion soldiers, and the general manager is naturally considered a normal promotion.

Lu Yuan is still very satisfied with this.

Being promoted to the defensive officer of the deputy Qianhu Qingshui Town Fort means that Shuiyang Village has now become Lu Yuan's garrison.

And becoming the commander of the battalion means that he can now manage a thousand battalion soldiers.

Because after Jiajing, the military attachés relied on private placement for their battles, so the imperial court simply supported the military attachés, and these families became battalion soldiers.

Lu Yuan can now manage a thousand battalion soldiers, which means that he can manage a thousand family members.

In addition, as the defense officer of Qingshui Town, he can manage more than 200 people with the rank of chief flag officer of two test hundred households.

This means that he Lu Yuan can now recruit more than 1,200 soldiers.

Of course.

And that's just in theory.

Basically, due to the financial constraints of the imperial court, it was difficult for Lu Yuan, a thousand inland battalion soldiers, to be paid a thousand battalions.

In addition, the military attache has to eat empty salaries, and he will not take enough military salaries to raise the battalion soldiers.

You must know that even the deputy commander-in-chief Huang Jiayin is only 200 families, and he uses the guards to make up for temporary battles.

But.

Lu Yuan planned to use his private treasury to expand to 1,200 soldiers.

After all, he will fight against Jiannu and the thief in the future.

It is worth mentioning.

The chief flag merchant Yongxin became his subordinate.

This time, Shang Yongxin did not get promoted because he fled too quickly with Luan Qianhu, and he did not have enough money to bribe like Luan Qianhu.

On the contrary, because Luan Qianhu stuffed enough silver to Huang Jiayin, the deputy commander-in-chief, and gave benefits to Lu Yuan, he also got a credit, and was promoted to the commander of the guard, but he was still responsible for guarding the Qishan Station.

The conversation turned back.

Lu Yuan returned to Qingshui Town Fort in the official uniform of the fifth grade, but happened to meet Shang Yongxin, the chief flag official who was recovering from his injuries.

When Shang Yongxin saw this, his heart was full of anger, and he shouted that the sky was unfair, why did he let such a bastard who broke the rules of the guard be promoted to a deputy thousand households within half a year!

"Mr. Shangqi, are you healed?"

Lu Yuan asked with a smile rather open-mindedly.

Shang Yongxin had already learned from Luan Qianhu that Lu Yuan was now the deputy Qianhu, not only led the battalion soldiers, but also became the defense officer of Qingshui Town Fort, and was his top boss, so when he saw Lu Yuan asking, he didn't dare not answer, nor did he dare not salute: "If you go back to your lordship, the injury of the lower official has been healed." ”

Lu Yuan still just smiled and said: "This is very good, then it will be troublesome for the general banner of Shang to call all the military households of Shuiyang Village to Qingquan Square tomorrow to gather, and say that the official has something to announce." ”

Shang Yong's confidence was extremely uncomfortable, he didn't expect Lu Yuan to become his top boss so soon, but at this time, he could only endure: "Obey!" ”

Lu Yuan rode back to Qingquan Village, while Uncle Fei and Shen Guangzu had been waiting for him for a long time, in order to hand over the combat summaries of their respective companies to Lu Yuan for review.

Since the end of the suppression of bandits, Lu Yuan asked Uncle Fei and Shen Guangzu to prepare for a combat summary in their respective companies, and then draw up the terms.

First, each unit will conduct an exchange summary, then conduct an intra-team exchange summary, then conduct an intra-company exchange summary, and finally summarize it to Lu Yuan, convene representatives at all levels to make a final summary, and form a reference book for future revisions to the combat regulations and training regulations.

Lu Yuan looked at the list of deputies and the content of the summary, and said: "I'll look at it for a while, and you will let these deputies come to the military and political hall of the official office in half an hour to attend the final military summary meeting." ”

Uncle Fei and Shen Guangzu nodded and went.

Lu Yuan went to the Civil Affairs Department after reading the content of the battle summary here, and saw that Tang Ying was holding a financial meeting with Yin's, Yuan Changgui, Zuo Tieji, Er Niu and other senior civil managers in the Civil Affairs Department, so he directly pushed the door and walked in, sat next to Tang Ying, took Tang Ying's tea cup and drank it clean: "How long do you have to finish the discussion?" ”

"It's coming!"

Tang Ying said a word in passing, waved his hand and was about to pick up the teacup, when he found that his teacup was gone, he looked back and saw that Lu Yuan had drunk only the tea powder, and couldn't help but glance at Lu Yuan: "Lu Lang, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"Come with me to the military meeting, when it comes to this battle summary, you and the former Changgui and Zuo Tieji, who are in charge of quartermaster and ordnance manufacturing, need to listen to it."

Lu Yuan said.

"Oh, we're done in a moment."

Tang Ying said and asked the second girl next to him: "Second girl, what is the accounting result?" ”

"The cost of procuring the account books is less than the cost of spending the account books, and the surplus of silver taels is in line with the excess expenditure."

Erniu raised her head and replied, seeing that Lu Yuan was already sitting beside her, she laughed hurriedly: "Young master, when did you come?" ”

When the second girl looked up, Lu Yuan found that the ditch under the second girl's thin shirt was still quite deep, and he thought to himself, why didn't it feel very big before?

"Just here", Lu Yuan smiled.
