After Wei Renshi arranged the affairs on the kiln, and discussed the future affairs with Jiao Haiqing and Lin Sumian, after returning to Chang'an from Weinan the next day, the holy decree also came down.

Wei Renshi contributed to the army's method of forging and training soldiers, and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant. Li Liang also became a commander of the fold chong because of his meritorious training.

However, the mansion led by Wei Ren's real name is a middle mansion, so his Zhichong Duwei is from the fourth grade. And the mansion led by Li Liang is a lower mansion, so Li Liang's Zhichong Duwei is from the fifth grade.

But the two of them were still training soldiers in Jinwuwei, and this time, in addition to the previous three hundred, there were eight hundred.

"Captain Weidu, at this glance, the difference is really obvious." Li Liang said to Wei Renshi in front of him with great emotion: "I can't believe that such a general is really like this, these on the left are actually the appearance of the sixteen guards in the past!" ”

Wei Renshi nodded.

On the school field in front of him, on the left were the newly arrived 800 soldiers, and on the right were the previous 300 soldiers who had undergone several months of training.

On the right is a neat phalanx, although there are 300 people, but whether you look horizontally or vertically, or obliquely, it is a straight line, neat and tidy, quiet and quiet. But they all stood tall and straight, and they stabbed the enemy like javelins. Although I didn't hear it or see it move, I could feel a fierce aura like a beast waiting for an opportunity.

But the 800 men on the left stood loosely and unneatly. One by one, they even hunched over and whispered, standing there not like soldiers, but like a group of street ruffians who had gathered.

Not only Li Liang, but the three hundred soldiers before were also full of disdain when they looked at the eight hundred people on the opposite side at this moment.

Not just disdain, but also shock.

Three months ago, they looked like this?!

No wonder Wei Duwei was so disappointed in them when he first saw them!

Wei Renshi took in the performance of the soldiers below, and smiled at Li Liang: "I think the two of us will have to worry a lot now." Let the previous 300 people train with these 800 people, while continuing to train themselves, while teaching the newcomers, and still urging them, but it is just right. ”

"That's what the last general thinks, too." Li Liang said with a smile: "After these eight hundred people are trained, they will definitely be sent to various places in the Sixteen Guards to train others. However, we must train solidly, so as not to go out to train others with the wrong number of roads and fall into our reputation. ”

Wei Renshi nodded: "Yes, if they do a good job, they will all be the leaders in the future, and you can use this to motivate them." ”

Li Liang said: "Wei Duwei is right. By the way, the last general was promoted to Captain Wei because of Captain Wei, and this time he was promoted to Captain Wei, thank you Captain Wei! My father also wanted to thank Wei Duwei, so he set up a family banquet tonight and asked Wei Duwei to appreciate his face. ”

Wei Renshi said with a smile: "It's a normal thing to say that, you and my fellow brothers, I'll go to your house for a meal, and you come to my house for a meal." What is not a face. ”

Li Liang was already familiar with the training, so he went down and arranged for the 300 people to take the new 800 people to the initial military posture training, and then returned to the school platform.

Wei Renshi said to him: "Brother Li, Your Majesty is very interested in our ideological and political education, and wants to see to what extent this method can transform people's minds. Therefore, after some time, a person will be transferred to receive our ideological and political education. ”

"Oh?" Li Liang asked, "But who is it?" ”

"The righteous son of Wang Yi, the deputy envoy of Huainan Jiedu." Wei Renshi said: "If ideological and political education can make him as loyal to the imperial court as the 300 soldiers, then this method can be used to do a big thing." ”

"What?!" Li Liang was stunned.

Wei Renshi smiled and said, "Brother Li, what do you think will be the result if we bring our ideological and political education to the local army?" ”

Li Liang's eyes widened, and then he smiled: "Then you and my brother, don't you want to make a contribution to the world?!" ”

Wei Renshi laughed, Li Liang is really a smart person.

The three hundred people who have been trained are in full swing below at the moment, and they are training the new soldiers extremely strictly. They saw their beginning-ween-self from those people, and they were ashamed and hated that iron could not be made of steel, so they were very serious in leading them.

Wei Renshi watched in the army, and Li Liang led it, so he didn't have to watch there all the time.

As soon as he returned home, Ma Weilong came over.

"Xiaolang, the little one went to Zuichun Building last night, that Li Niangzi is the mother of Zuichun Building, and the background of Zuichun Lou is the person in the palace, but who it is, I don't know who it is. The little one feels that it is the Lin Nei servant that Xiao Lang said. Ma Weilong said to Wei Renshi: "That Li Niangzi is very shrewd in her speech, and she is afraid of being exposed, so she didn't dare to inquire more at first. ”

"Okay." Wei Renshi nodded and said, "You can go over and take a look in these days, and if the time is right, tell her that I will meet with Lin Nei outside the palace." ”

Ma Weilong nodded, retired and left.

Wei Renshi continued to be in the study, and after warming himself by the coal stove, he went to the desk and spread out the paper.

Coking has already begun in the coal yard and shaft furnaces have been built. It is time to experiment with an improved method of iron smelting and steelmaking. If this method is successful, the weapons of the Sixteen Guards will be settled.

With the improved method of iron smelting and steelmaking, the smelting speed and output of 100 steels, or even better steels, will be greatly improved.

Coupled with standardized assembly line operations, it can greatly increase output.

At that time, it will be possible to gradually replace the weapons of the Sixteen Guards with better weapons.

Because of the emergence of better quality steel and the acceleration of production, some more advanced weapons, such as steel crossbows, military swords, Mongolian sabers, etc., can be made.

The pattern should be drawn first and given to a professional blacksmith who knows how to see.

Wei Renshi himself is not a professional blacksmith after all, but he just draws it from memory, and sometimes there are still discrepancies after all. After the blacksmiths have seen it, they need to analyze it from a professional point of view, modify and improve the pattern, and finally it can become a weapon that can be built and actually used.

Whether it is the training in Jinwuwei, or the coking and smelting iron and steel in the coal yard, or the glass kiln and cement kiln, or those vegetable greenhouses, everything is in full swing.

It can't be said that everything is going well in the middle, but there are many talented people and craftsmen in Datang, and these things have not appeared before, just because there is no such idea, I didn't expect it.

But once it is "thought of", then it can overcome all the problems and difficulties encountered in it, and make it closer and closer to success.
