Chapter 36 Great Development

After a few more days, Xiao Jin almost ate and lived in the workshop, and after some small changes, the musket was finally finalized, if he had to say that he was an arquebus, it could only be said that it was a super strengthened version.

A total of two of their own out, in order to test stability, Xiao Jin found a soldier, every day to maintain a high intensity of shooting, just to test its stability, in the case of training is basically in place, the best result is about four shots per minute, this refers to the situation that no one interferes, if it is on the battlefield, a soldier with a good mentality, should be able to do three shots per minute.

The bullets were improved and also made into quantitative ones. Costs are also rising. Xiao Jin is not distressed, this is the foundation of his family, in the face of Wu Sangui and the imperial court may start a war in advance at any time, what Xiao Jin has to do is to hold on to the wheel of history.

After more than ten days of recruitment, Chen Jinnan's subordinates recruited more than 400 people, and Butcher Zhu plus his own brothers in front of him also had more than 600 people.

Xiao Jin asked Ji Xiaolan to build a temporary barracks and a simple playground for later generations to the west of the workshop, across two miles of wasteland, and built a training base with a large amount of wood and stone, including physical fitness, shooting, and fighting.

In order to improve the efficiency of training, Xiao Jin took Chen Jinnan to go through all the training subjects, but unfortunately Xiao Jin is also a half-ass, and can only make a rough idea, but Chen Jinnan is really a talent, and he is more standardized than Xiao Jin, the inventor, and he can play a good gun, and the two rifles PK used by the two of them are basically won by Chen Jinnan.

On the issue of the formation of the troops, Xiao Jin had a general idea in his heart, it was not realistic to be equipped with a large number of muskets at the beginning, he was going to divide Chen Jinnan's 400 people into four groups, the first group was equipped with muskets, and the first group was subdivided into two groups, which is equivalent to the current need for fifty muskets, and the two groups use one gun for every two people, including training, alternate training.

In actual combat, one person shoots, and one person loads. If one person is wounded or killed, the other person can pick up a gun and continue the fight. The next three groups are also in the same direction, but only in reserve, trained with gun models.

As for Butcher Zhu's men and horses, Xiao Jin's preparation is still based on cold weapons, big knives and spears, these things are easier to handle than guns, and physical training is still trained together, and the martial arts and battle formations behind will be handed over to Butcher Zhu's original three hundred brothers, and they will be trained in the way of bringing the old with the new.

Xiao Jin didn't get Kangxi's reply now, and the military generals around him didn't know how to arrange their identities, so they temporarily used the military ranks of the later generations to implement it, and waited for Kangxi to give him the will, and then made other plans.

Let Chen Jinnan and Zhu Tufu serve as the battalion commanders of the two battalions, and for every 100 people below, one company commander, one unit of 50 people, two deputy battalion commanders, one platoon commander for each unit of 10 people, and one squad leader for each unit of five people, so that they can be effectively managed from top to bottom.

The first thing Xiao Jin asked the soldiers to train was discipline. Titles, commands, and standing, and set about getting Chen Jinnan to begin training in unity.

The workshop has also more than doubled again, allowing Zheng Banqiao to personally manage the workshop during this time, and Ji Xiaolan is responsible for the overall planning and logistics.

With ten craftsmen as a group, a team leader of inspection and guidance, each person makes a part, complete assembly work, and performance bonuses, there is a competition every month, a total of three, the first place is the most generous, there are material rewards, and there are also monetary rewards. The combination of these factors has led to a significant increase in the efficiency of firearms, with an average group producing one a day.

The craftsmen and masters in this radius of 100 miles were all cleaned by Xiao Jin, and there were people who didn't know the situation at first, I heard others say that the government took people to arrest craftsmen, ran away when they saw Xiao Jian, and bribed them to let go, after being forced by Xiao Jin to bring them, but none of them wanted to leave, the food here and the soldiers ate the same, Xiao Jin built a large canteen in the middle of the workshop and the barracks, and implemented three meals a day, except for porridge and pickles in the morning, there was meat at the meal, I didn't dare to say that there was big fish and meat, but there was still meat foam, and every ten days, the canteen would add food.

Of course, this expense is also worried about Xiao Jin, many things are still asked by the merchant on credit, these days, Xiao Jian didn't dare to see Xiao Jin, the first sentence of the meeting is, how have you been looting these days. Pity the entire Linxian County, including a few big Zhuangzi in the near future, almost all of them have been scraped one by one.

As long as the big businessman who can shout the number, the owner of the village outside the staff, there is no one who has not been beaten. At the beginning, the offender handed over half of the family property, and the crime was determined according to the size of the crime and the family property. Later, the money burned out within a few days, and Xiao Jin was directly let go, but as long as he committed a crime, he directly confiscated all the family property.

In this way, it survived the early stage of the big construction, but later the huge logistics expenses gave Xiao Jin a headache, and he used his brain to think of a way to issue a national bond similar to that of later generations, Xiao Jin changed it to a nice name, called Linxian Development Voucher Roll, which can be exchanged after three years, and appreciates by two percent every year, and the maximum amount is not capped, and the smallest one has one thousand taels.

Originally, Xiao Jin didn't expect anyone to take the initiative to buy it, so he simply didn't do it twice, and directly asked Xiao Jian to take the servants to the big landlords' houses to "sell", which was really good, otherwise it would be really difficult to feed so many soldiers and nearly a hundred craftsmen.

The things of the workshop and military training began to be regular, and Xiao Jin took Wang Er back to the county office, and heard Ji Xiaolan say that Hu Xiancheng arrested him in the county government every day, and there was something to report, which was about the "revenge" of the local officials and village owners.

When Xiao Jin heard this, he was afraid of being annoyed by him, so he went directly to the back office as soon as he returned to the county office.

I haven't seen Xu Yingying for several days, and I miss it strangely, seeing that there is no Xu Yingying in the back office, she is holding a fan and knocking on it, as if talking to herself, and as if she is talking to Wang Erdao, "Since we are not at home, let's go to Mrs. Wang's place to see, I haven't visited for many days, I'm afraid she will think too much." ”

Bought a roast chicken on the road, and asked Wang Er to bring a jar of good wine, Xiao Jin thought, "It's been so many days, you should have a good face when you see me." Thinking about it, he was a little weak-hearted, and asked Wang Erdao, "Where is the most famous jade shop in the county?" Let's go buy a gift and take it with you. ”

Wang Er was carrying a large jar of wine, he was already too tired to do it, and he saw that he was about to go to Mrs. Wang's house, but he heard the adults say, and turned back to buy jade, and said with a bitter face, "My lord, this is almost a June day, the small one really can't bear it, and then go back to the market, I'm afraid that the small one is really going to suffer from heat stroke, and then no one will run errands for the adults and carry the wine." ”

Xiao Jin saw that he was sweating profusely, his legs were trembling, and he said with disdain, "Look at your empty chicken, don't go to the kiln less, don't die in the kiln that day." ”

After speaking, he didn't go back, and strode towards the house.

When Wang Er heard this, he blushed like a monkey's butt and muttered, "I don't have a mother-in-law, no one hurts, you are a full man who doesn't know how hungry." ”

As soon as he entered the front yard, there was a burst of laughter, it seemed that there were several people chatting, and there was a voice that was very familiar, Xiao Jin was curious, poked his head and looked inside, and saw Xu Yingying holding Mrs. Wang's hand, talking and laughing, the flower branch that laughed trembled, and the two maids in the back also covered their mouths and laughed, but Mrs. Wang just laughed mechanically.

Xiao Jin saw that Xu Yingying was there, and secretly said that it was not good, and immediately turned his head to leave, but he didn't expect Xu Yingying's voice to come from behind.

"Stop."
