In addition to flintlock guns and bayonets, there were ammunition belts, powder cartridges, primer cartridges, cartridge boxes, water bladders, backpacks, small sewing kits, first aid kits.

These things are done by several workshops, and everyone contributes to each other's hands.

At this time, Sun Jingting pondered for a while on the side, and said: "The gun and bayonet are over seven taels, and the rest of the miscellaneous things are not cheap, plus several sets of clothes and boots, a soldier has to take twenty taels to buy weapons, robes and bedding, Wen Lan, you are an old soldier." ”

"Soldiers are not expensive, if one person is issued with a bamboo bow and iron spear, it is considered a soldier, but it is cheap, I am afraid it will not be useful."

Twenty taels per soldier is just the cost of weapons and equipment, and the construction of barracks and various supporting facilities in the early stage has already cost a lot, and the money spent in various workshops in the future is a bottomless pit, and the silver is used like flowing water...... Nearly 20,000 silver was spent on these 1,000 houses and school yards, and more utensils and beds had to be purchased, but the money was just beginning.

In addition, the monthly salary and food consumption of each soldier are calculated in terms of 2,000 people, and in order to ensure high-intensity training, it is necessary to have adequate nutritional intake; preliminary statistics show that every 2,000 people have at least 5,000 taels of silver a month, and this is not yet a wartime system, but only training.

Zhang Han said to everyone at this time: "Wang Debang initially made a flintlock pistol, although he did not succeed in finalizing it, he also made a great contribution...... he paused and continued: "The reward is 1,000 silver, and two courtyards and one courtyard." ”

"Huh?"

Wang Debang's mouth was open like a toad, his mouth twitched and only inhaled into the lung tube, his hands were trembling, Zhang Han looked very worried, Wang Debang is the most effective craftsman leader at his moment, in case of a happy stroke, the loss will be too great.

Yang Hegao and Li Changnian next to him were no better than Wang Debang, and Chen Yaozong and others, who rushed over after hearing the news, were also frightened.

"Lao Wang, look at your appearance, it's a little outstanding." Zhang Han scolded with a smile and waved his hand: "Everyone is scattered, if someone makes meritorious contributions in the future, they will generally be rewarded." ”

He said it easily, how could the people present relax up?

One thousand taels, if it was the previous Wang Debang, he wouldn't be able to earn this number in a hundred years. In the past, the craftsmen were hungry and cold, and the annual income of ordinary people was only five or six taels of silver, and it had to be a good year with good weather and good weather, one thousand taels, and a peasant with 30 acres of land had to earn 200 years.

The courtyard is also, in the middle of several barracks in the north near the river, there is a large residential area, a gatehouse, three partial rooms, two rooms, and then a stable and miscellaneous room, the cost price of each set is more than 100 taels, this house has only built dozens of sets, ready for the officers and Zhang Han's powerful stoppers to live, now only Zhang Han and Sun Jingting live in one set, I don't want Wang Debang to get this big lottery.

Zhang Han waved his hand and left, Li Changnian and Chen Yaozong stared at Wang Debang, their eyes were similar to bull's eyes.

……

Yang and Gao returned home dejected, and he didn't know how to walk on the dark road.

Now everyone lives in the dormitory area, the dormitory area of the workshop is in the west, the whole building complex is a large pinzig, extending from north to south along the riverside, the innermost character is the courtyard area, the east is the barracks area, the middle is the large school field, the west is the workshop area, and the outermost area is the dormitory area of the workshop area.

To the south, there are large shacks, which are temporary camps for recruited workers, which will be converted into warehouses and armouries in the future.

Yang and Gao also lived in a shack, but as the tiled house was built, the furniture was almost finished, and they lived in the dormitory area one after another.

The houses here are five rooms in a row, similar to the miners' dormitory built by Zhang Han in Lingqiu, those who have families live in a single room, and the bachelors have several people in one room, and there are not many houses that have been completed now, and when all the houses are completed in the future, even bachelors can get a room to live in.

Yang Hegao's house is also a single room, five families share a thatched house, the house is decorated and placed according to Zhang Han's requirements and standards, there is a dining table near the window, there are wardrobes and wooden boxes against the wall, families with children in addition to a large bed, but also give more small beds, blue bricks are all over the floor, the walls and the roof are pasted, the house is clean and atmospheric, and it is very practical, Yang Hegao's wife has been thinking about adding some practical small objects by herself, such as buying a mirror, adding a box with rouge and jewelry...... In the past two months, Yang Hegao's wife has dared to buy a few inexpensive pieces of silver jewelry, and she didn't have the courage to think about such a thing even if she dreamed a year ago.

Looking at his yellow-faced mother-in-law teasing himself, Yang Hegao was very happy in his heart, he sang a little song and walked out of the house every day when he went out to work, and he felt extremely happy, and it was the same when he went out at night, when he walked into the house at this time, his face was already as ugly as his dead father.

Yang and Gao's wife walked over, handed over a glass of boiled water, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"I feel so suffocated...... Yang He raised his cup and drank it all, looked at his wife, and told him everything about tonight.

"Courtyard ......" every woman has a dream home of her own in her heart, before living in the current house, Yang and Gao's wife's highest fantasy is to be able to live in a yard with a patio and a well, tile house to not necessarily, as long as there is a yard thatched house, there must be an independent thatched house, so as to satisfy the fantasy, now listen to Yang Hegao's words, she doesn't care much about a thousand taels of silver, what makes her hit is that Wang Debang's wife can move to the blue brick floor, there is an independent thatched house and a bathing room in the courtyard to live, Yang and Gao's wife already seemed to see the smug face and flamboyant laughter of the Wang family's sister-in-law, and she felt as uncomfortable as being pricked by a needle in her heart.

"One thousand taels, did you hear that, one thousand taels!" Yang Hegao roared in a hoarse voice, now He Yusheng is frantically buying land in Tianchengwei's place close to Lijiazhuang, the average dry field is three to four taels, the paddy field is five to six taels, and one thousand taels of silver is enough to buy more than 300 acres of dry land, Wang Debang took such a big reward at once, Yang Hegao felt that he was going crazy.

Yang and Gao's wife said with an anxious face: "Boss, how can we be rewarded by the proprietor?" I don't want to get the 1,000 taels, I just want to live in the big courtyard of the two. ”

Yang Hegao drank saliva again, feeling that his body was very hot, and at the same time he also had incomparable strength on his body, he stood up and said to his mother-in-law: "The owner wants me and Chen Yaozong to do that wire drawing machine, Chen Yaozong has done a lot of chain mail in Beijing, unlike I used to only make cotton armor and cloth face armor, but I have made iron scale armor, and I can also do armor, but the proprietor said that these things are expensive and difficult to make, the construction period is too long, only called chain mail, and the chain mail is still made by a wire drawing machine, as well as a roll machine, a boring machine, and a drill bit for drilling the barrel, If these can be made, I will have a thousand taels and a large courtyard. ”

His wife looked at him with a blank look and asked, "Can you make it?" ”

"Chen Yaozong has an advantage, but I'm not a vegetarian...... Yang He Gao said: "It's really not possible to work with him." ”

"Didn't you ask him to learn your craft?"

"In the past, I hid my craft because I was afraid that the apprentices of the church would starve to death of the master, but now what are we running for? Stupid. ”

Yang Hegao didn't know that Zhang Han also planned to introduce patented technology to further promote the research and development of craftsmen, but the bonus was enough for him not to hide his secrets.

Since the Tang Dynasty, China's metallurgical capacity has regressed significantly, a large number of craftsmen died in the war, annealing and cold forging technology have regressed a lot, the famous Tang Mo knife, horizontal knife, forging technology have been lost, but Dongying's apprentice learned, the beaten knife is sold to China every year, and there are many people who buy.

"I'm leaving, I'll come back to sleep in the middle of the night."

Yang and Gao couldn't sleep hotly, got up and put on their clothes again, and lit the lantern again, this time he saw the road clearly and walked out steadily.

"It's too hard to be in charge...... Yang and Gao's wife didn't persuade much, she looked at her husband with eagerness and anticipation.

When they arrived at the workshop, someone inside had already lit a lamp and was looking at the drawings, Yang and Gao took a closer look, and sure enough, it was Chen Yaozong, whose hair had turned a lot grayer, Yang and Gao nodded, and the two craftsmen looked at each other and smiled.

……

"Stand up, line up!"

Tang Wangzong held a red and black stick in his hand, and roared loudly, his voice was already very hoarse.

In late July, all the barracks were built, and most of the furniture and supplies were placed, and at the same time, Zhang Han had already received an official license, which became an official inspection, and began to recruit archers in the four towns and eight miles.

Zhang Han's conditions are very generous, one or two per month, compared with the border army, but also provide three meals a day, recruits are not allowed to go home during training, after passing the training, they can take turns to go home, when the archer is not a border army, although Zhang Han made it clear that he wants to fight bandits, but everyone still feels that the risk is very small, as soon as the list is posted, the entire Tianchengwei to Ulzhou area is a sensation.

In half a month, 600 archers were selected.

Zhang Han selected dozens of people from the dart masters in Xinpingbao to come over as officers, and all the selected dart masters were very happy.

Eleven people stood in a row.

There are such scenes everywhere in the whole school field, a team of more than a dozen people, and there are team officers with military sticks standing at the end of the team, of course, all the team officers are dart masters, they have experienced Wang Changfu's long-term training, and they are actually qualified border soldiers.

Tang Wangzong glanced at his subordinates, they were not short, their shoulders were very broad, their chests were also thick, their arms were mostly thick, their hands were thick, most of them had not grown beards, and only a few of them had some black whiskers between their chin and mouth.

The average height of men in the Ming Dynasty has definitely not been counted, but after Zhang Han has seen many people in the north and south, he feels that the average height of men in this era is between 1.65 and 1.7 meters, of course, all the people he has seen are northerners, and the average height may be higher than that in the south.

The people in front of Tang Wangzong are all the top people who have been selected from the tens of thousands of applicants, most of them are farmers in Tiancheng and Zhenyujia Ulzhou and other places, about thirty percent of them are selected from the homeless, Zhang Han did not take care of them because of the homeless, and the unqualified ones were all washed down, and there were not many qualified archers among the homeless-

It's a little normal today, wipe your sweat.
