Chapter 62: 30,000 Sets of Cotton Armor

Although it has already started spring, Duoyan City is still covered in white and white, and the weather in this season is still cold and people can't stretch out their hands. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info a team of dutiful patrol soldiers in cotton armor walked neatly, trampling the thick snow creaked, a few pedestrians with hurried expressions flashed by, and the entire Duoyan City was like a lady stealing a stream of gentleness.

Almost every household in Duoyan City has cats and dogs, and the cat disappeared when the sky was just dawning, and he didn't know where to go to the carnival, but the big yellow dog was still lazily lying at the door to avoid the sun and watch the door for the owner.

The wind outside was biting, but inside the house was as warm as spring. The family is busy after breakfast, and the task of making ten sets of cotton armor from the newly established quilt factory has been almost completed, and as long as it passes the acceptance of the quilt factory, you can receive wages.

The people of Duoyan City, who were originally sleeping at home, encountered a good thing of pie falling from the sky a few months ago, as long as the raw materials of the cotton armor received from the quilt factory were assembled and sewn according to the requirements, and after passing the acceptance, they could receive wages at the price of a set of three coins of silver. This is simply giving money for nothing, and there is money to earn without leaving home, where to find such a good thing in the world.

All commanded the embassy, at noon.

Wei Zhongxian was on the list of commanding the embassy to come and go at will, and the soldiers standing guard at the door did not stop the investigation, and after politely greeting him, he let him in.

Guan Shanyue's family was having lunch, and this guy was eating with a long green onion dipping sauce regardless of the image. Although Wei Zhongxian sometimes came three or four times a day, when he saw Wei Zhongxian's arrival, he still quickly stood up from the chair and greeted warmly: "Brother Wei, come, if you don't eat something, eat some more, this is the roe deer meat sent by Brother Neiqi, and Xue'er personally cooked and stewed it deliciously." ”

The well-behaved maid hurriedly put down the spoon in her hand, got up and handed Wei Zhongxian a pair of chopsticks.

Wei Zhongxian was also not polite, he handed the thick booklet to Guan Shanyue with a smile, took the dishes and chopsticks and ate and drank, "A second-class official, the family is really getting more and more unruly, how can there be a maid who eats at the same table with the master." This little girl is so blessed, she eats whatever you eat, change it to me, hum ......"

Guan Shanyue didn't have a maid at home, the little maid's name was Li Mengyao, and she was Qin Xiaoman's personal maid, "Hmph, if I were your maid, I would have poisoned your soup a long time ago, making you so bitter and mean, come and make fun of me once." After speaking, he stuck out his tongue at Wei Zhongxian and grimaced.

Wei Zhongxian has long been accustomed to it, and he is not angry, and scolded with a smile: "You sharp-toothed girl, you don't suffer at all, I have to find time to talk to Brother Guan about you another day, you don't want to get married in this life." ”

Guan Shanyue looked at Wei Zhongxian's eyes full of love, knowing that he was seeing things and thinking about things, and when she saw this clever little maid, she thought of his daughter, and shook her head with the thick booklet, "You two will talk as soon as you meet, and you two are really convinced." Brother Wei, what is this thick booklet? ”

Wei Zhongxian did not answer Guan Shanyue's question, but took a large piece of stewed soft roe deer meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, the juicy piece of meat was simply melted in the mouth, "Well, delicious, delicious." first simmered with martial fire for half an hour and then simmered for half an hour, Xiao Nizi's cooking skills are getting better and better. This broth is great for rice, but I've got another piece of meat, haha! ”

Guan Shanyue rolled her eyes, "Brother Wei, be careful not to eat your tongue in your stomach." You give me such a thick booklet, I can't see the Year of the Monkey, Ma Yue, tell me what is this thick booklet? ”

Wei Zhongxian pursed his lips, pointed at Guan Shanyue with chopsticks, and said angrily: "Brother Guan, don't you open a pot and mention which pot?" I don't know that Lao Wei is illiterate, you don't know, you can't read it yourself? This is something sent by the director of the clothing factory, saying that your method of breaking it into pieces has worked, and he has finished it, so let me hand it over to your old man. Finally, the words "you old man" are like popping out of your teeth.

Guan Shanyue spit out the soup in her mouth with a mouthful, and endured it for a long time before she couldn't hold back her laughter, "Brother Wei, are you mistaken, isn't the director of the quilt factory Liangqing?" ”

Wei Zhongxian slapped his chopsticks on the table, and said angrily: "Hmph, don't mention the name of this beast to me, if you don't say that I'm not angry." Back then, the miscellaneous family risked the disapproval of the world, and after the completion of the construction of the three palaces in the capital, he tried to give this bastard thing Jin Ning Guogong, and after Ning Yuan's victory, he withstood the pressure from all sides and crowned him as the Taishi, at that time I didn't see him so happy as now. Now that his official position has been swept to the end by the imperial court, he has been demoted to the common people, and you have sealed him as an unqualified quilt factory director **** who is busy hitting the back of his head, and when he gets home, he falls asleep and doesn't even say a few words to me, do you say that he is angry or not? ”

Everyone present looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was huffing and angry, and wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, Zhao Ruixue and Qin Xiaoman were trembling, they didn't expect him to be angry with Wei Liangqing for this trivial matter, and they all thought that this guy was really about to become an old child.

Guan Shanyue took the thick booklet and laughed while flipping through it, "Liangqing is a good hand in business, if you have to make him an official, then Mingzhu is secretly blind to such a talent." Not to mention, this kid's military order is not in vain, it is only three and a half months now, and he has produced 30,000 sets of cotton armor half a month in advance, and he is a talent. ”

Wei Zhongxian now looked at Guan Shanyue and felt that he was extremely annoying, because it was the kid in front of him who "snatched" his nephew who depended on him, but what he said made him hate it, and his tone suddenly softened, "I don't know what you did, that bastard boy worked so hard for you." However, I have to remind you that there are no immortals in war, even the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is not equipped with cotton armor. ”

After all, Guan Shanyue is from modern times, and she agrees with this. If he kills him, he won't be a virgin, he just feels that he cherishes his life, pushes himself and others, and he also cherishes the lives of the soldiers, after all, everyone has only one life in this life.

That's why he ordered the establishment of a quilt factory to produce cotton nails. Cotton armor is a kind of armor inlaid with dense iron sheets on thick cotton cloth and riveted with copper nails, and it also has the function of cold protection and warmth, which has a good protective effect on cold and hot weapons at that time, especially suitable for the infantry in the north.

A complete set of cotton armor usually consists of four parts: an iron hat, cloth armor, a leg skirt, and low boots. Wear boots first, then an apron hem and tie it behind you, then an armor coat, and finally an iron hat.

This set of cotton armor can be exchanged for two cattle in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and can be exchanged for four or five good horses in exchange for the Mongols or Houjin outside the Saiwai, so at that time, there were often officers on the nine sides who falsely reported the number of soldiers and overreported the attrition, and took the cotton armor to trade with the nomads outside the Saiwai, so as to fill their own pockets.

People have feelings, and these soldiers are not stupid, and they can tell who is good and who is bad. Looking at the entire army of the Ming Dynasty, no one of the officers of the Daning Dusi from high to low dared to beat, scold and squeeze the soldiers, and they were paid in full and on time and monthly. The soldiers were highly motivated, and they were willing to give their lives to this young commander.

Guan Shanyue's face shone with a holy light, and she said impassionedly: "Brother Wei's words are wrong, not everyone is a hero of the world, most people are still afraid of death, it is better to die than to live." The reason why I smashed pots and sold iron to provide armor for the soldiers was not only to let them win the battle without scruples, but also to hope that they would come back alive. Because these more than 30,000 soldiers are the green mountains of our Daning Dusi, and with them, we are not afraid of not having firewood to burn. And they are also raised by their parents, and behind each of them is a living family. I don't want to see the mother, wife, and children of the Daning Dusi blocking my door after the war, crying and shouting that I want a son, a husband, and a father. ”

Zhao Ruixue looked at her Lang Jun with tenderness, and after listening to this speech, she felt more and more that her Lang Jun was extraordinary, and he could always put forward some novel points of view to justify himself, which made people feel refreshed and convinced.

Qin Xiaoman, a snack snack, has been taking advantage of everyone's conversation to eat Haisai, at this time she also put down the chopsticks in her hand, clasped her hands on her chest to look, and looked at her husband with a look of admiration, she felt that Guan Shanyue, a bad guy, could actually love soldiers like children, it was really good.

Hey, women are always overflowing with love, and even Li Mengyao nodded frequently, feeling that her master is particularly radiant now.

Wei Zhongxian was a little wavering by Guan Shanyue's heart, he used to kill people like hemp, and now although he put down the butcher's knife, he has not become a Buddha yet, "You are still so bodhisattva-hearted, is it wrong to succeed in ten thousand bones?" Being an official, especially a big official, the miscellaneous family thinks it's still a little powerful, or who is afraid of you? ”

Guan Shanyue didn't want to entangle with Wei Zhongxian in this matter, this old stubborn usually made enough concessions to himself, why bother to speak so fast at this time! He hurriedly diverted the topic, "Brother Wei, we have to hurry up and send these armors to the soldiers, so that they can become familiar with wearing cotton armor as soon as possible." I went there during the trial production, and that iron hat was not light! Blessed are the officers from thousands of households upwards, Liangqing is equipped with chain mail for them, each small iron is thinner than the little fingers, and it is called a mighty when worn on the body! ”

Wei Zhongxian took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, Brother Guan, you said that the chain mail is more powerful than the Shanwen armor?" ”

The second monk Guan Shanyue was puzzled, and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, don't play dumb riddles with me, why did Shan Wenjia come out too?" ”

Wei Zhongxian obviously didn't think that Guan Shanyue really didn't know, and said angrily: "Brother Guan, don't pretend to be a miscellaneous family, that mountain Wenjia is not built for you by that little vertical in order to tie you up." Let's go, now you are in this Daning Dusi and you are very majestic, and my uncle will not be able to get those cotton armors without your appearance. ”

Guan Shanyue pursed her lips and didn't argue, "Xue'er, I've almost eaten, you leave me alone, keep eating, I'll take a look." ”

Zhao Ruixue heard that Naken let him do it himself, and he didn't care about eating, so he hurriedly got up and waited for Guan Shanyue to change into his official uniform.

Qin Xiaoman, this brute girl, seemed to have opened her mind today, and ran to Lan Qi at the head of the bed in the inner room to take Guan Shanyue's sword, and ran back with a gust of wind, and handed the frost sword to Guan Shanyue with a courteous face.

Guan Shanyue happened to be dressed at this time, took the saber, looked at Qin Xiaoman, who was standing in front of her and hiccuped, with a doting face, smiled and pinched her white and tender Qiong nose, and went to chase Wei Zhongxian, who couldn't bear to see their family show affection.
