Chapter 70: The Blade
Although they complained in their hearts, they soon became jubilant again, and there were large pieces of meat for dinner, although one person was divided into two or three large pieces of meat, and it was also the rhythm of the meal with cooking cakes, these people ate a mouth full of oil, and most of the day's fatigue seemed to be dispersed, anyway, after each exercise, the food was good, so that everyone had less bad feelings towards Zhang Sanlang, and the image of Zhang Sanlang's demon disappeared a lot.
The next day, the next group of personnel experienced this kind of immortal practice.
The result, of course, is the same sourness.
"Childe, how do you look at this farrier,"
Fang Shan took out a semi-circular horseshoe, which was no different from the farriers of later generations, dark and ugly.
"Is this material tough?"
Zhang Huan asked.
"Childe, the little ones have beaten the iron billet for several days, this is all suitable fine iron, and the small ones dare to take the head of the item as a guarantee, which is enough to use,"
Zhang Shan almost swore an oath.
Zhang Huan nodded, he couldn't help but worry about this matter, don't look at the horseshoe is not a big deal, but if the iron material is not up to par, it will be very delayed if it breaks.
The broken hooves under the horse's hooves, the war horse said that it was running, and it was not neat to walk.
Zhang Huan brought Heiyun here, Heiyun felt nervous when he saw the appearance of the craftsmen around him as if he was facing a great enemy, Zhang Huan pulled its reins and patted its neck himself, which made Heiyun quieter.
However, when a craftsman grabbed Heiyun's hind hooves, he was kicked out by Heiyun, and it took a while to get up in pain, and no one else dared to step forward.
Zhang Huan was speechless, so he had to follow the ideas of the other craftsmen, and tied the four hooves of the black cloud to the four pillars, and the black cloud tossed and did not want to give in, so Zhang Huan had to appease it and finally installed the horseshoe.
After the tie was untied, Black Cloud always stared at the horse's hooves, always wondering what was under its hooves, which made the craftsmen around him laugh.
Zhang Huan rode the black cloud and tried it, and found that the speed of the short sprint had increased a lot, of course, the wear of the hooves could not be seen in the short term.
He lifted Heiyun's hooves and looked at it, the horseshoe was not worn, it seemed to be okay, Fang Shan did his best, Heiyun also felt something, maybe with this object, it was easier to run with less effort and more energy, so he also accepted this small circle honestly.
Zhang Huan returned,
"Make more, well, make a thousand, if the iron is insufficient, tell my eldest brother to buy it."
As soon as he saw that Zhang Huan was very satisfied, Fang Shan's black face was full of small folds, and only one nodded vigorously.
'Again,'
Zhang Huan looked at a few humanitarians,
"Don't say anything about anyone, otherwise don't blame someone for not being emotional,"
This was a rare cold face from Zhang Huan, and the others hurriedly nodded in response.
"Well, you guys have worked hard, this month each person has added more money, and dinner at night,"
As soon as Zhang Huan said this, Fang Shan and the others immediately burst into laughter.
That morning, the boys found that production had stopped, and they were called together to form a large formation of thirty people.
And Zhang Huan, Dugu Ren Rong, Dugu Honghua and others were at the front of the big array with bows and arrows.
Zhang Huan, Dugu Ren Rong, and Dugu Honghua first shot arrows to kill the enemy of nothingness, and then the enemy approached, several people retreated into the formation, and the boys immediately formed a fan-shaped close military formation, with shields on the outside and spearmen behind, ready to harvest the opponent's life at any time.
This time, Zhang Huan let everyone practice the three rows of shields, spears and archers covering each other, attacking the enemy's front and rear positions, looking inconspicuous is actually very important, just like the order of the army in later generations, long, medium and short-range strikes are carried out in turn, and there must be no mistake.
If this forward and backward formation is not skilled, who retreats and who tops up and who covers the problem, there will be chaos and commotion in the battle formation, and it will not be possible to attack the enemy in a timely and effective manner, and even let their military formation be chaotic and disorderly and finally crushed by the enemy, so the flow of this formation must be skilled, and if it is really time to practice against the battle, then wait for death.
After two days of drills, this formation is much more proficient, but in Zhang Huan's opinion, it is not satisfactory, but since it is not enough to hold on to the treasury after a long march, it is impossible to maintain the whole training for a long time.
"Nie Yuan, Zhang Zhao, Hu Teng, Zhao Yi, Liu Yishan, Pang Wei, Wang Banqing, Ma San,"
Han Zhifeng shouted the names of several people, and several of them walked out in accordance with the rules.
"You're in the first row."
Nie Yuan responded, looked at the person whose name was called, and realized in his heart that five of them had their father and brother killed and injured at the hands of the West Thief, and they had a common enmity with the West Thief, for example, his eldest brother was killed in Shunning Village.
Several people came to the front and stood at the front as ordered.
Wang Banqing's body was a little thinner among several people, he held the spear tightly in his hand, his knuckles were white, and his heart was ruthless, if he really had the opportunity to meet the Qiang people, he would risk his life to kill a few.
Remembering that a few years ago, his forty-year-old father died in Jinmingzhai, and when he didn't see half an area in the house on the day he died, although the eldest brother in the family took the position of Daddy, but just joined the army for a month and will not be able to support a large family of people with three yuan of monthly money, and he couldn't sell the youngest two sisters to the family of Shangjia, and the two sisters left with desperate and crying faces, Wang Banqing hated the Qiang people to the bone.
Zhang Huan looked at the first row of eight people and was satisfied, the first row is the key to hard work, if the first row withstands, the back will not collapse, so he chose five people who have a deep enmity with the Qiang people, and the other three have ruthlessness, these people are very energetic in his observations, especially Nie Yuan, Wang Banqing, and Ma San are all ruthless, Zhang Huan has long remembered it in his heart.
These people are the blades of his military formation, in order to defeat the opponent in a hard encounter, after all, morale is too critical in the era of cold weapons, and the front army is not defeated and the rear army is not dispersed.
Zhang Huan's army array practiced a few times, and sure enough, the first row of movements was strong and powerful, which was much better, so Zhang Huan nodded secretly.
The warehouse was only stopped here for two days, and Feng Xiaohe rushed over immediately after hearing about it.
"San Lang, Qi Niang sells perfume and clothing soap to Hedong and Jingzhao Mansion, but there is a lack of output here, how can Qi Niang bear the anger of those merchants,"
Feng Xiaohe expressed his dissatisfaction after seeing Zhang Huan, and now it is equivalent to selling the inventory outward, and the inventory will not be able to support it.
You must know that Hedong and Jingzhao Mansion are not comparable to the two military states and a few small counties of the small Yanyan Road, there are several large states and dozens of large counties, and the 100,000 pieces of soap and hundreds of bottles of perfume sent over are really nothing, but they will be enough to distribute the goods, she expects that the local use will be urged, and according to Zhang Huan's output is far less, so she wants to store some items earlier, but Zhang Huan actually stopped production, Zhang Sanlang didn't do this to drag his feet.
"Qi Niang rest assured, production will resume tomorrow,"
Zhang Huan knew that he was in a bad situation, and hurriedly agreed to resume production as soon as possible.
"Can we only resume production, can't Childe increase production?"
Feng Xiaohe still felt these shortcomings, but hated too little.
"Wait for these people to be proficient, and then there is a shortage of places, which is these boundaries,"
Zhang Huan is now producing while guarding against the enemy's plots, which really consumes energy, and the current warehouse is a little small, and some can't be opened, and the production of wine and clothing soap interferes with each other.
"This is easy to do, the slave family has a Zhuangzi five miles south of the city, which is not big or 300 acres of land, and there is a four-entry courtyard, and the son can move there."
This Zhuangzi is the farm of the Feng family's father and daughter, and some grains and vegetables are produced there, and sometimes Feng Xiaohe's father and daughter go there to rest, mainly in the summer, and it is usually useless.
Now Feng Xiaohe is offering it without blinking his eyes, Zhuangzi can buy it at will, as long as he has money, but if these perfumes and clothes soap can be produced earlier, how much money can be brought, Feng Xiaohe made a quick decision.
