Time was fast, and in the midst of the busyness, the cathars had been in the city of Amu for two days.

During this period, due to the heavy snowfall, the cathars did not make any major moves. Only in conspicuous places in the city, post notices for the people. And at noon every day, the ban is lifted. The people were allowed to go out of their homes and go out into the streets to buy and sell food and clothing.

There are also nearly 20,000 households in the city, with a population of more than 50,000. Eating and drinking every day is a big drain. So it had to be opened up for a while, and they were allowed to buy and sell. Otherwise, it will cut off their way of life, which will inevitably arouse their resistance.

Li Chengji is planning to take Amu City for himself!

Therefore you cannot sin the people of the city to death.

After all, water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. If the people's will is unstable, the regime will collapse even if it is stable.

Fortunately, in this era, the people are relatively simple. As long as there is a way to live, there are no big thoughts. Therefore, Li Chengji has a good grasp of the bottom line and knows where the people can endure it and where they can't.

Something like this, which allowed to be bought and sold on the streets, was a good way to dissolve the resentment in the hearts of the people.

On the other hand, he also sent an apologetic. Temporarily unite with the old officials of Amu City to check the fields, shops and other household registration matters in Amu City. Because the mess after the upper-level officials and dignitaries of the original Mother City were hastily withdrawn, they were also repaired one by one.

For example, some grain shops, cloth shops, and firewood shops that are related to the lives of the people must be reopened. The vacant materials inside must also be replenished.

He deliberately asked people to brave the heavy snow and go to Puhua City to get supplies.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have too many dreams at night, he would have asked Ali Silvard to return the empty treasury.

Otherwise, now, there will be no rush to solve the people's livelihood issues in the city.

But the harvest is not without it.

Like many ownerless shops, fields, mansions, etc., were included in the name of the governor's palace.

Although, in general, the number is not large. Compared to Puhuacheng's income, that is even less than an order of magnitude. But because of the withdrawal, almost all of them are upper-class people. Therefore, the value of the fields, mansions, and shops left behind is still very considerable.

So in the past two days, the governor's palace has been so busy that his feet don't touch the ground. Among them, Li is the busiest. The affairs of the soldiers and civilians in the city were almost all entrusted to him.

Li Chengji, the leader, has no tail of the dragon all day long, and he is very idle.

It's just that this is in the eyes of others who don't know the inside story.

Like Li Weiwei, he knew that Li Chengji was paying attention to a major event related to the development of the Guardian Army.

Speaking of which, it is also necessary to mention the fact that Zahair went to the military tent a few days ago.

At that time, after Zaheil revealed his identity, he was interrupted by Li Qiqi, who suddenly broke in. But Li Chengji didn't leave him behind afterwards! Just let him stay and talk about it in detail. Not only did I understand the situation of Puhua's craftsmen, but also knocked on the side, and inferred the level of weapon manufacturing in Khorezmo.

And that's not all!

After the talk, he also asked Zaheil to take himself to visit the artisan workshop in Amu City.

It was a large courtyard, located near the army. Fortunately, it was nearby, otherwise the fire a few days ago would have burned it out.

But there's no well-made weapon inside!

As early as when Ali Silvard led the royal army into the city, he emptied all the weapons accumulated by the previous governor.

Therefore, there is nothing else in the workshop except for some semi-finished products and armor, knives and other things that need to be repaired after being damaged.

Fortunately, the low-status craftsmen have stayed!

It was also because the time of evacuation was too short! In order to avoid chaos, it is necessary to block the message. Therefore, many craftsmen were forced to stay.

For Li Chengji, these craftsmen are the most precious.

Because he had a long time ago the mind of searching for craftsmen. Especially after the occupation of Puhua City, it was thoroughly put into action.

But there are many craftsmen in Puhua!

But most of them are civilian.

Therefore, in terms of weapon manufacturing, it is not strong. Asking the Secretariat to collect it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

After all, all countries have very strict control over artisan households. Not only does it limit the scope of accommodation, but it also has extremely strict requirements for travel. His descendants are also under control.

In particular, craftsmen who are good at making weapons are like prisoners, and they are closely guarded.

As a result, the Division's progress has been slow.

It will also be difficult for Li Chengji to recruit the talents he likes and implement his military plans.

Now seeing this group of craftsmen who are good at making weapons, he can't help but be happy and excited as if he sees a beautiful and incomprehensible beauty.

It is also the special status of Amu City, so there is an army of Khorezm stationed here all year round. In order to save time and facilitate replenishment. There is a craftsman who is responsible for the manufacture of weapons.

Of course, compared with the craftsmen in Puhua City, the category of craftsmen here is obviously not as comprehensive as Puhua. In the end, Puhua is a local separatist regime, so all aspects are relatively comprehensive.

But the advantages of Mother City are also very prominent.

That is, the artisan is more targeted!

In terms of military affairs, it is superior to Puhua.

After all, the craftsmen here are collected and assigned from all over the country by Khorezm, and their skills are much more exquisite than those in Puhua City. When Li Chengji watched their workshop, he saw a lot of drawings of siege equipment.

I'm glad Ali Silvard was in a hurry! Otherwise, such an important workshop would have been destroyed, and it would have been a huge loss.

Among them, Lee Seung-ji saw a pile of black jars. When you open it, you can see a layer of water stains inside. According to Zaheil, this is fire oil.

Hearing this, Li Chengji was faintly excited in his heart.

"Oh? How about your skills? ”。

When Zaheil heard this, he immediately briefly explained the manufacturing method.

After listening to this, Li Chengji knew that their manufacturing process was still in the initial stage. It was mined from the ground, and there was not even a little refinement.

There are also a lot of impurities in it.

And when used, it is also used to dip away arrows. As a result, rockets are made to enhance lethality. In addition, it is used to burn the enemy's siege tools during siege warfare.

Otherwise, there is no other use.

Li Chengji secretly remembered it in his heart, and his brain began to work rapidly.

If, on the battlefield, the effectiveness of fire oil is used to the limit. Then the advantages will also be extremely obvious. Because compared with cold weapons, hot weapons obviously have an advantage.

In his mind, there is Xiao Zi, a mobile encyclopedia. It's easy to find some manufacturing methods.

I made up my mind secretly! We must make good use of the sharp weapon of fire oil. In the future, it will become one of the great killers of the cathars.

Thinking of this, he thought of the return cannon again.

There was no one before, but now with these craftsmen, you can plan it well.
