After Liu Renyu set the set goal of suppressing bandits, in view of the fact that there are so many bandits in northern Shaanxi at present, it is natural to first determine the specific targets of attack.

The conditions for the selection of the target of the attack are, first, not too far from the north fort of Zhenbei, too far to mobilize troops, and there may be a risk of conflict with the surrounding Ming army; Second, it can't be too strong, and if it's too strong, it will either be a miserable victory or a complete annihilation.

According to a report by the Roadside News Agency, 60 miles northeast of Zhenbeibao, there is a Wulong Mountain, in which there is a nest of bandits, and the number of bandits is between 20 and 30 people, and they have been causing trouble for several years.

Liu Renyu was still very satisfied with this target, and he immediately ordered Liu Renjie to take a few capable generals to Wulong Mountain to reconnoiter intelligence.

Liu Renjie took the order and left.

At the end of July, the autumn wheat harvest is imminent, and the focus of the whole town is on the wheat harvest, after all, in this era of hunger, food is the last word.

Liu Renyu was also very busy at this time, in addition to constantly urging the army to strengthen training, he also went to the Zhenbeibao Industrial Factory (the former carriage manufacturing factory) to inspect, about to fight, the logistics and supply should not be taken lightly.

In the Zhenbeibao Industrial Manufacturing Factory, the blacksmiths, carpenters and masons hired by Liu Renyu performed their respective duties and were busy with their own business.

The blacksmiths were the busiest, sleeping only six hours a day, working day and night to make armor, firearms, and occasionally mend blades; The carpenter was working all kinds of carriages, and occasionally repairing blades; Only the masons had nothing to do for a while after the construction of the infrastructure in Zhenbeibao was completed, but Liu Renyu immediately found a new task for them.

As mentioned above, Liu Renyu opened the cheating function and directly informed the masons of the manufacturing process and types of raw materials of the glass, and asked them to fire the glass; In addition to glass, he gave the recipe for cement to masons to make it.

Relatively speaking, the glass making process is extremely simple, the masons have made it, only cement, Liu Renyu only knows what the raw materials are, but does not know the specific proportion, so this depends on the masons to explore themselves, if you are lucky, you can produce results within 2 or 3 years, and if you are unlucky, you have to take 3 or 5 years to produce results.

Liu Renyu attaches great importance to cement and glass, with these two things, the architectural pattern of my Ming Dynasty will be turned upside down, villages and cities will no longer be a collection of low-rise buildings, under the support of reinforced concrete, it is naturally unnecessary to repair skyscrapers, but 3-storey, 5-storey buildings are still no problem, when the time comes, Liu Renyu will build more Hitchcockian, Baroque, Renaissance, and Chinese and Western buildings in all the villages and towns under his rule, in addition to buildings, a large number of cement roads are built, The traffic environment can be improved, and the horse-drawn train can be loaded with it.

Liu Renyu thought about it, and was a little excited, but the reality was that after months of research, that is, glass could produce some finished products, and as for cement, even the shadow of success could not be seen.

"Adults, villains, etc., according to the recipe you gave, they made the glass you said, and the cement you said, we still don't have a clue." Chen Xuanli, who was older in the mason and was recommended by everyone as the talker, said worriedly.

"Lao Chen, you don't have to worry, think about the Taixi countries, the cement can't be made in a hurry, you can make the glass out of it, it's good."

"Little Lao'er didn't dare to take credit, if it wasn't for the adults who gave Xiao Lao'er the formula, how could Xiao Lao'er make glass."

"Alright, alright, I know, you go and get busy, bring up the production of glass, the quality is good, and I will use it in my carriage."

"Yes, the little old man wrote it down, and the little old man retired."

"Well, there you go." After talking to Chen Xuanli, Liu Renyu turned to the carpenter's work area to watch the production of the carriage.

In the storeroom of the woodworking factory, Liu Renyu saw two beautiful carriages painted with silver-gray paint, wind lamps hanging at the four corners, glass doors on both sides, and more than a dozen wide carriages with long wheelbases and open tops.

"Are those two silver-gray carriages your improved carriages?" Liu Renyu pointed to the carriage and asked Zeng Xiangbai.

"Exactly, according to your request, we installed the carriage with the shock springs you mentioned, painted the carriage, pressed the glass, hung wind lamps, wrapped the inside with leather, and the seats were also made of cotton and down, and then wrapped in leather." Zeng Xiangbai replied.

"yes, I'd be interested in taking a look." After speaking, Liu Renyu stepped into the carriage, opened the door, and entered inside. As soon as he entered the carriage, he tasted what is called low-key luxury and connotation, this interior is simple, the interior of a typical medium and large luxury car, ecstasy stitching, soft leather, there is a Mercedes-Benz S-class sense of sight, as for the seat, sit down, elegant is the buttocks are like sitting on the clouds, comfortable.

"I'm very satisfied with the interior furnishings of this carriage, but I wonder if it is comfortable to run?" Liu Renyu is more satisfied with the interior, and he wants to take a ride next.

"Old grandson." Zeng Xiangbai called.

"It's coming, it's coming."

"Use it as a handlebar for Lord Liu, and go out for a run with the carriage."

"Okay." The old grandson gave Liu Renyu a salute, and then let Liu Renyu get on the car, Liu Poyu followed and got into the car, standing outside the carriage, the old grandson said "rack", put the carriage out of the warehouse, and ran up in the open space in the factory area.

Liu Renyu sat on the carriage and felt that after installing the spring this time, the shock filtration effect was much better, and the carriage had a good shock absorption effect on slightly bumpy roads.

When he got off the carriage, Liu Renyu was smiling, Zeng Xiangbai saw it in his eyes, and the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, and it was good for Lord Liu to be satisfied, and it was good to be satisfied.

"Lao Zeng, after improvement, I am still very satisfied with this carriage, but I don't know if there are any problems with long-term use?"

"Back to my lord, our carriage is only a little bit of a suspension, it is this spring, it depends on the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, some craftsmen make it well, it takes a long time, and if it is not made well, it takes a short time, that is to say, the spring sometimes needs to be replaced from time to time."

"It's okay to do this, it's better to change more, in the future, we will sell the carriage outside, and we will also push out the repair company, and the carriage will be broken with spare parts, so we will take the money to exchange it."

"That's what my lord said."

"Ah, by the way, I plan to give this carriage a name, in the future, the carriage we produce will be called the "sweat horse" brand carriage, sweat horse, sweat blood BMW meaning also, this is a totem, you take it according to the engraving in front of the carriage, remember the engraving is a little bigger, eye-catching, but also with words, understand? ”

Zeng Xiangbai took the drawings that Liu Renyu asked the painter to draw, and when he looked at it, he saw that the drawings were a horse standing up, which looked very beautiful and matched the word "sweat horse", and he was secretly satisfied with this design.

"The open-top carriage over there must be covered with canvas as soon as possible, otherwise if it rains, the goods will be wet."

"Yes, my lord, the old man wrote it down."

"How is the production of carriages now?"

"Depending on your classification, there are two passenger carriages per month and eight freight carriages per month."

"Very well, keep up the good work, wait for our carriage to be in Damingre. When I sell, I will give you a salary increase when I raise your job title to engineer level. ”

"Thank you, Lord for your love." Zeng Xiangbai was overjoyed when he heard this, the salary increase or something fell second, and his value was recognized as the most happy thing.

In order to motivate the craftsmen's enthusiasm for work, Liu Renyu specially set up four grades for the craftsmen, namely apprentice, craftsman, technician and engineer.

Liu Renyu stipulates that craftsmen who have made outstanding contributions in their work or are skilled can be upgraded after assessment, and then they can enjoy different treatments, such as engineers, with very high salaries, paid vacations, and free Khan Horse carriages.

There are both heavy awards and honors, and the enthusiasm of the craftsmen is naturally extremely high. Of course, Liu Renyu likes to hear about this.

After coming out of the wood art factory, Liu Renyu went to the cold weapon factory and the fire gun factory to check the manufacturing of armor and fire guns.

Relatively speaking, the blacksmith is the most tired of the many craftsmen in Zhenbei Fort, armor, fire guns are counting on them to do, Liu Renyu considered the cost, and refused to recruit new blacksmiths to come in, so the blacksmiths had to be used as two people, generally speaking, minor injuries do not get out of the line of fire, work hard, can barely meet Liu Renyu's demand for weapons.

"Blacksmith Zhao, you have all worked hard." Liu Renyu saw that the blacksmiths were so busy that their eyes were black, and their faces were haggard, and they were somewhat unbearable.

"What are you talking about, and it's not that you didn't give us money, so we did it for nothing. Okay, there is overtime pay for overtime, and the job title can be prioritized, they are all willing, even if they are tired, they have to endure it. ”

"In that case, I won't say more, if you have any requirements or opinions, you just have to tell me."

"What, there are still opinions, who dares to have opinions, everyone is not worried about food and clothing now, there is money to be made in their work, they are not oppressed by Shangguan, they become technicians, and they can also be distributed to the fields and passed on to future generations, this is a blessing from several generations of cultivation, if you are blinded by lard, say that you Lord Liu is not half of it, and Lao Zhao knocks him with a hammer."
