See, remember our website) Days of 'cloudy' and rainy weather are over, and the bright sunshine has once again descended on the long-lost grassland, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold autumn morning.

In the early morning, the four knights hurriedly entered the city from the south 'gate' of Qishi City, which brought a surprise to Kang Mosa and also gave Li Huaitang a feeling of being extremely Tailai. [Search for the latest updates at BSP;] The strong bows and crossbows smuggled from Datang were already on the way, and the Kang family's caravan sent someone back to inform them first, so that Li Huaitang could send light horsemen to meet them.

The news of the three hundred strong crossbows made Li Huaitang's heart 'flower' bloom, and it also made the big chestnut's heart frightened 'meat', in addition to the strong crossbow, there are horned bows and longbows, how much does this have to pay? Big chestnut hurried back to deal with the headache that was coming.

Since being released and 'handed over', Da Lizi and Shamuel have knelt in front of Li Huaitang to ask for forgiveness like sinners. But Li Huaitang did not punish them, but told them to atone for their sins. In Li Huaitang's eyes, these full-time logistics people cannot be compared with people like himself who are accustomed to life and death and disregard life. As long as it doesn't cause losses, you can spare it, not to mention, the Ministry of Light is too short of professional manpower.

Big Chestnut and Shamuel are back in their old places.

Feeling 'excited' by Li Huaitang's leniency, Shamur volunteered to organize a caravan and go to Khorasan again to buy food and clothing for the army to survive the winter, as well as the Tang slaves that Li Huaitang cared about the most.

Li Huaitang is quite sleepy and 'confused', as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, how can so many of her subjects become slaves of foreign lands and aliens? After listening to Shamur and Wu'meng's explanations, Li Huaitang was quite embarrassed.

The Tang Dynasty set up Broken Leaf Town in the Zhenguan period, and the Broken Leaf City was built in imitation of Chang'an during the Gaozong period, and arranged soldiers to defend it, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Broken Leaf City. Later, the Tuqi Shi people rose, taking advantage of the internal power of the Tang Dynasty, unable to look westward, and blatantly invaded Broken Leaf City, and then brazenly asked the emperor to live in Broken Leaves. Seeing that the wood had been completed, the Tang Dynasty also made a favor, and at the same time, he also wanted to use the Tuqi Shi people to deal with the increasingly powerful Great Eclipse, and he didn't take into account the life and death of the tens of thousands of Tang people left in the Chu River Valley.

The vast and sparsely populated land of the great food and the demand for the population were far from being satisfied, and slaves were born as a result. There was a huge slave market in Da Shi, and a large number of slaves were sold from far and wide for dates and bread.

Shamur knew that there were Don slaves in Khorasan because Samarkand was forced to provide Khorasan with 3,000 slaves every year. Shamuel's former master, Hobie was also a human trafficker, and sold people from all over the world to Kangguo at a high price every year, and as a supervisor, Shamuel resold many slaves from the Turgish, a considerable part of which were Tang slaves. Except for these Tang slaves, who were sold to Shi to open mines for the king, the rest flowed into Khorasan. Shamuel never dared to tell Li Huaitang this secret, especially after seeing Abdullah and those slave traders brutally executed by Li Huaitang, he kept it even more secretive. Until this time, he was 'handed over' back from the hands of the Turges, but he was treated leniently by Li Huaitang, and under the feeling of 'excitement', he asked for 'sex' to 'reveal' this secret.

As he expected, Li Huaitang did not blame him, but very fairly put the blame on the head of the Tuqi Shi people, as well as the powerful Datang. In order to buy back the Tang people who had been reduced to slavery in a foreign land from the big cannibals, Li Huaitang raised hundreds of thousands of dirhams, which was almost equivalent to emptying Li Huaitang's pockets.

The slaves that the Great Cannibals took from Samarkand were discounted to only 200 dirhams, which was far lower than the market price, which was equivalent to making Samarkand bear more than 100,000 dirhams for no reason, plus the fixed 200,000 dirhams per year, almost reaching a million dirhams. (Remember to read.)

Look at the URL) and want to redeem these slaves from the hands of the Great Cannibals, the price must be about 300 dirhams.

A large caravan and a light cavalry set off from Qishi City at the same time. The caravan, led by Shamur, headed for Mulu; Five hundred cavalry, led by Kuroko, rode in two and followed the servants of the Kang family to meet the Kang family's caravan.

Kuroko's task was no easier than Shamuel's caravan, in order to avoid the scouts of the Turkish, and to shorten the time. They followed several servants of the Kang family, riding south for a whole day, and then turned east, crossing the rugged mountain trails that stretched between the country of Shi and the country of Gudu, and made them suffer terribly. This more than 100-mile mountain road took them five days and five nights, and during this period, they also fell and killed many valuable war horses, which made Kuroko feel distressed. However, after crossing this mountainous area, the road is much easier.

After the Turgish withdrew, everything went very smoothly. The production of bows and crossbows in the armed courtyard is being carried out in an orderly manner under the command of Gong Goro.

Early in the morning, just after eating the morning meal, Li Huaitang was ready to go to see the situation in the armed courtyard, and listened to Gong Wulang's report that everything was going well, and the first batch of strong crossbows called out 'desire'.

"Li Lang."

A crisp sound came from outside the 'door'. Li Huaitang turned his head to look, and a brisk shadow flashed in.

"Where are you going?"

Su Zizi, who usually likes to wear Tang costumes, has changed into a tight-fitting Hu suit, and her slender figure is concave and convex.

Feeling Li Huaitang's fiery gaze, Su Zizi glared at him with disgust.

"Is Li Lang going to restrict the freedom of concubines?"

The threat is heavy. Li Huaitang couldn't cry or laugh, he knew that he wouldn't have made that poisonous oath in the first place, and Su Xiaoniang's sense of freedom was so high for some reason.

"Care, pure concern."

Li Huaitang raised his hand and surrendered.

"Giggles,"

The beauty laughed, and the fragrant shoulders shook.

"The concubine is a weak 'female' stream, and she often complains that she can't help Li Lang share her worries, but it's still okay to help the wounded soldiers heal."

In a series of battles, the city was full of wounded soldiers. In order to facilitate treatment, Li Huaitang placed all the wounded soldiers in the heavens on earth, and Shi Yiwang was responsible for taking care of the medical treatment. Su Zizi ran to the heavens of the world with Wu Si and a group of 'women' of the Ministry of Light almost every day, learning to wash the wounds and apply 'medicine' to the wounded soldiers.

"Is Li Lang going with me?"

Su Zizi blinked her eyes with longing. These days, Li Huaitang has been busy with all things about the war, and he rarely has the opportunity to be alone with Su Zizi, and the beauty can't help but feel a little lost.

"Oh, this, this, you go first, I'll go to the armed courtyard."

In fact, Li Huaitang went to heaven on earth every day to visit the wounded soldiers, these wounded soldiers are valuable resources, unless they are rewarded or disabled, they are likely to become brave men in the future.

"Then, the concubine is waiting for Li Lang in the heavens on earth, Li Lang hurry up."

In the tone, there was a little helplessness and a little loss.

In the armed courtyard.

"This is a crossbow, it is being tamed, and the power of the strong crossbow depends on it. The first batch of 300 cedars were the most suitable for dryness and all aspects of the cedars that were shipped back, and then dried in the shade for a hundred days before they could be processed and assembled with other parts, and a foot crossbow was made. ”

When Gong Wulang said this, he seemed quite excited.

In a dry house, there are more than a dozen wooden shelves, and the shelves are filled with crossbow parts that are being "tamed", which, according to Gong Goro, are dried and formed in the 'yin'. In order to accommodate such parts, three such houses alone are occupied.

Li Huaitang sighed: "Tsk, a crossbow actually takes so long!" Wait, you say it's a foot crossbow? ”

I can't imagine what it would be like when thousands of powerful pedal crossbows 'shoot' in unison, and the feeling of falling apart and people turning over on their backs must be good.

Gong Wulang was not without pride, and said: "Yes, it is a foot crossbow, in Datang, also known as the Fuyuan crossbow, the 'shooting' range is more than 300 steps, and even up to 400 steps. I've estimated that a whole tree is just enough to make a foot crossbow, and it won't 'waste' money. The remaining scraps can also be processed into crossbow shafts. ”

"As for the time, this is already fast, this wood has been 'shaded' in the warehouse for more than a year, so it saves time. The second and third batches will probably take longer to complete, and the best materials have been used up. ”

Li Huaitang smiled regretfully: "Time is not waiting for me!" However, the first batch of 300 strong crossbows is also very good. ”

Gong Wulang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the general, the interior of the wood is different and cannot be observed, and the first batch of crossbows is estimated to be only eighty percent." ”

Hearing that some waste products had to be eliminated among the three hundred strong crossbows, Li Huaitang could not hide a trace of pity.

"I don't think the house is enough, why don't there be craftsmen in the spacious space outside? Is it not suitable for a cooperative workshop? ”

Li Huaitang asked casually.

"Yes, General. None of these timbers can be exposed to the 'moisture' to see the light, otherwise the previous efforts will be wasted. So, the craftsmen all went into the house to work. ”

Gong Wulang patiently explained.

"Let's go, let's see."

Li Huaitang raised a little interest again.

The armed courtyard occupies a considerable area, thanks to the former owner of this mansion, as for his name, Li Huaitang has long forgotten it, but he remembers when he cut off his head.

Li Huaitang followed Gong Wulang into a large house, it is estimated that in the past, this house was a banquet living room. Dozens of craftsmen were meticulously doing their work, completely unaware of Li Huaitang's uninvited guest.

"This is where the crossbow arms are made, and the wood that comes back can be used to process the crossbow arms, so that they don't have to be 'shaded' anymore. However, the material is fifty percent longer than the crossbow. It consumes a lot of materials, so one cedar wood is only enough for a crossbow. ”

"The crossbow is made next door to here, and there are several times more craftsmen than here, and there is no way, the speed at which the crossbow is shaped is far from keeping up with the other parts."

Gong Wulang gushed unconsciously like a few treasures, as if there was no one around.

"Oh, this is to open the arrow groove for the crossbow arm, and after completing this process, it will be 'handed over' to the next class of craftsmen to excavate and install the pores of the crossbow machine......"

Li Huaitang suspected that if he hadn't been interrupted, maybe he could have been able to talk for a whole day.

Slowly, Li Huaitang saw that the 'door' was coming, and each process was completed independently by different craftsmen, including the bronze hanging knife trigger, the 'fine' Wangshan with scales, and the crossbow bowstring, the division of labor was quite 'fine'.

"This, how to ensure that all these various components are properly assembled, is each component the same size?"

Li Huaitang picked up a lookout mountain, glanced at it, and asked Gong Wulang curiously.

Gong Wulang, who was interrupted, did not feel a little embarrassed, but his interest was even higher.

"The general didn't know, the craftsmen of each class took the lead, and I gave them a ruler of the same length, and the length and size of the components were also set for them, as long as they are all qualified, then there will be no problem with the final assembly."

Li Huaitang thought thoughtfully, glanced at Gong Wulang, and suddenly realized: "It is worthy of being born in a family of great craftsmen, and this kind of thinking of killing two birds with one stone has been thought of." Terrible! ”

This division of labor allows each craftsman to master their own skills, which improves efficiency and ensures quality. At the same time, it also protects the "intellectual property rights" of Gong Golang's family handicraft to the greatest extent.

In order to keep his family heirloom secret from his family, Gong Wulang racked his brains to come up with this method. However, Gong Goro, the initiator, was far from expecting it, because his 'selfish' intentions promoted the efficiency of the production of various weapons, including crossbows and bows.

"That, the general is discerning, Gong is ashamed!" Gong Wulang was quite embarrassed.

Li Huaitang smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and said bluntly: "You have to accept an apprentice to inherit the great business, only you are a master, I don't worry." See what I mean? ”

Gong Wulang hurriedly nodded and said, "Gong has two sons under his knees, and the family heirloom is gradually being passed on to Da Lang." He's making crossbows next door, or I'll let him come over and see the general? ”

"That's fine, don't bother him."
