Luo Kaixian's three-day wedding ceremony finally came to an end, but the people in the Lingzhou camp did not have time to spend their time in the winter - like most people in most places in this era, but unlike other places, people in most places were driven away by hunger or so-called rulers, and the people of Lingzhou were mostly busy to control their own fate.

Most of the people of Lingzhou are always busy, several mines on the periphery, always interspersed with the jingle of chiseling stones and people's shouts, as long as the road is not closed by heavy snow, between the main camp and several mines, there is always a steady stream of carriages running, the workshops in the south are always tinkling or buzzing, jingling is naturally the blacksmiths are knocking, the buzzing is purely the strange movement of the newly trial-made fan, more than a dozen horse farms, all kinds of cattle, sheep, horses, camels and the constantly shouting crowd is also very noisy, Not to mention the busy military camps, the neat roars during training every day make people's blood boil.

Luo Kaixian, the general, is also not a mascot ornament, of course, he is not a hands-off shopkeeper, from the day of the wedding, for more than half a month, only when Li Ji or Ge Rina urged him to rest for a while, the rest of the time is all occupied by all kinds of affairs in the camp.

First of all, the end of the war in Xingzhou in the north, before all the guests left, Luo Kaixian fell into the chores of finishing the war and placing the prisoners.

The matter of rewarding military merits is simple, and the matter of placing prisoners is actually quite simple, because the issue of employment was considered as early as when the mine was opened, so the preparations were sufficient, and more than 10,000 people who escaped from Xingzhou were all resettled.

When Luo was on his way, he found out that the origins of these so-called Ma family members were actually very mixed, and it could be said that they included all the clans he could imagine, and as for the beliefs of the so-called Green Sect, they were far less pious than those in Central Asia. Luo summoned some representatives of the captives with some influence, and found that for these displaced people, being able to eat and clothe was more important than any god.

With this view, he met with the envoys of the Wang Cao family of Xingzhou again, compared to the previous envoy of the Ma family, Ma Xuanji's compassion, the second son of the Wang family, ****** and Wei Dao'er, the envoy of Cao Yixing, gave him a much better impression.

Perhaps it was because the cavalry battalion and the scout battalion had solved the Ma family without bloodshed, and the ****** and Wei Dao'er were very respectful and honest in front of Luo Kaixian, and the two parties easily reached an agreement on mutual non-aggression before the summer.

As for how the Wang Cao family planned later, Luo Kaixian didn't know, anyway, he didn't think about sending troops to Xingzhou City immediately for the time being, not for anything else, but he didn't want the soldiers who had been running all the way to fight for another winter.

Regarding Luo Kaixian's decision, no one asked, not only did no one dare, but no one thought about it at all, Luo Kaixian's idea could not take the initiative to explain to anyone, and there was no need to explain it, this is the prestige of a general who has mastered the hearts of the people and the army in this era.

After a few days of busy military affairs, Luo Kaixian put his energy into the workshop, which was the most important core of the Lingzhou camp in addition to the army.

Although today's workshop is still grass-made, it only covers an area that is more than ten times that of the old Tang people's camp, and in addition to iron, wood, and leather, there are too many things that outsiders can't understand, such as paper work that rarely moves, such as soap work that emits all kinds of messy or fragrant or stinky smells all day long, such as oil work that keeps pulling all kinds of strange monsters in and out of traffic, and wine work that all the men in the camp want to get into......

There are too many such places, but it's a pity, under the spur of Luo Kaixian, the soldiers are busy training or stationed everywhere, the craftsmen are busy in different workshops, and there are the uncles of the Military Justice Department staring and patrolling everywhere, no one dares to run around in the workshop, you must know that each workshop has a real-name registration number plate since the date of its establishment, and if it is lost or damaged, it will be held accountable, each license plate has a different symbol, indicating a different source and authority, want to run around? Wait for the blue-eyed devil's men to serve with whips and blindfolds!

The expansion of the area of the workshop is only the appearance, and the difference between the inside is actually only the old man inside, the first thing that has been subtly changed is that the new weights and measures system has been fully implemented - Luo Kaixian used his height (this is also Luo someone secretly more comfortable, his height was originally close to two meters, so the difference between the proposed new specifications and later generations is not big) as a benchmark to set the concept of "meter", and then it is subdivided downwards into centimeters, centimeters, millimeters, and wires, and set up the miles (kilometers), As a result, the concept and unit of measurement of area and volume were reset, and then the unit of mass or weight such as grams, taels, catties, and tons was derived, and the adaptation period of this weights and measures began two years ago and was now fully implemented, which is the biggest change in the workshop.

With the change of weights and measures, there are various measuring tools, the name of the ruler is still the same, but the scale on it has been completely different, and the specification accuracy and coverage have also changed more, such as the 100-meter ruler rolled from animal skin, the kilometer rope made of leather rope, and the caliper used for downward subdivision, and the crude micrometer with a screw......

Changes such as these have greatly increased the efficiency in the workshop, and the original concept of simple assembly line operation has been improved, although the journey has not stopped, but the craftsmen in the workshop have not stopped, because there is no need to worry about safety, they do not stop discussing when they are on the road, although they are not famous mathematicians, but they are ingenious craftsmen with a variety of practical experience.

As soon as they arrived in Lingzhou, most of the people were busy building houses, but a group of master craftsmen were busy realizing their ideas, and new things began to emerge, such as bearings that were more suitable for reducing wear and tear between wheels and axles, a thinner and tougher bow spring structure, more effective brake and deceleration devices - four-wheeled carriages full of ore were no joke when they went downhill, and freshly baked belt drives - used to feed or add coal to the furnaces...... Along with this, there are two "small crafts" that are not very conspicuous, such as gears and screws......

Of course, everything has not lacked the shadow of Luo Kaixian, and the new things that have emerged in the workshop are not limited to iron and woodwork, and the new branch workshops are mostly Luo Kaixian's ideas, such as wine shops, such as oil work, the most important purpose of the former is not to eat and drink, but to provide new disinfection materials for the medical camp, and the latter is also not to solve the remaining animal fat, but to produce the residue of oil - glycerin, the purpose is naturally needless to say, Luo Kaixian's root is not a civilian, but a professional-level weapons expert.

Part of the oil was used for food, and the other part was sent to soap, and there is no doubt that the simple chemical knowledge of saponification caused the curiosity of many people, including Al Hessin, and became one of the biggest secrets within the workshop.

There are many secrets in the workshop, so many people can't count them, and the easternmost place enclosed by a wooden fence is the most secret, which is next to a garrison camp, and every day there is a roar of different sizes in the open field behind the wooden fence, sometimes like the next door is farting too much, and sometimes it is like the thunder of the angry grandfather.

For ordinary craftsmen or the public, the workshop hides too many secrets, but for Luo Kaixian, the current secret is only the most basic foundation, it is good to be able to hide it for five years at most ten years, with the development of time, after Lingzhou has gained a firm foothold here, it is still necessary to go out, a piece of land by the river, it is still too narrow, according to the current technology, iron ore and copper ore can only mine a layer of the surface, not five years, maybe three years later, he has to dig deep - that is not what he is willing to do, without him, The riverside land is not suitable for mining operations, not only to destroy water and soil, but also to improve the tunnel operation equipment and technology, for a little minerals, how many lives need to be buried?

Although it is possible to go to the large-scale slave hunting to fill the shortfall, how is that different from the European and American ghost animals that are despised by later generations? And what is the impact of the communal hatred that followed the capture of slaves?

Luo Kaixian is not a saint for everyone, but I can't help but be afraid of the impact of hatred - if I can buy people's hearts and belong, why oppress and cause hatred? As for those who are really blind or treacherous, his whip and long knife are not left in the treasury to rust, and such a thing as exterminating the clan may cause the world to be angry in the future, but in this era, it is really easy to kill a tribe of 10,000 or 100,000 people, and as long as the operation is good, no one will complain about it - as early as when passing by Erzurum, Luo someone understood that the bones buried in the snow are not only protein and fat, but also countless weak souls.

In all ages, weakness is the original sin!

Luo Kaixian, who wants to be stable, understands this better than anyone else, so he rarely complains, even if he is "assigned" to this era.

got married and had a home, and suddenly had two women to accompany him, which gave Luo Kaixian a sense of belonging, and at the same time a sense of tension.

He knows that the peaceful days in the Hexi region will not last long, don't look at the current situation around Lingzhou, there is no movement, but Li Deming, who has lost 40,000 troops, is a hidden danger, needless to say the disputes within the party, the Zhao and Song border troops who are eager to make contributions and the Confucian scholars in the court are really willing to talk about peace with a small clan in the west?

None of the youngest dolls in the camp would believe it.

After walking through the army and the workshop, Luo Kaixian inspected all parts of the horse farm, this part of the most extensive area is also his most headache, nearly a million large livestock were slaughtered a while ago, and now there are three or four hundred thousand scales, including the largest number of more than 100,000 war horses, tens of thousands of horses, tens of thousands of camels and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep of different kinds, and the rest of the small breeding species are even more difficult to count clearly.

In later generations, Luo Kaixian has never returned to the pasture since he joined the army, although he is very unfamiliar with animal husbandry, but he still has a little knowledge. Therefore, after ordering the herdsmen under the jurisdiction of Corn Philo and Muniqi, they screened and put forward some suggestions for the management and operation of some pastures.

Today's horse farms are mostly managed by Corn Philo and the short man Muniqi, not to mention how comfortable the two of them are now, and even the shepherd slaves managed by them are smiling all day long - the first slaves to be caught and captured are still with a bitter gourd face, now? Many people have become fat, not to mention, there are also herdsmen who have remarried their mothers-in-law. Those who can become herdsmen are either warriors who are used as cannon fodder in the tribe, or horse thieves who wander and pretend to be bandits, but now they don't have to worry about playing with their lives, they have to eat and wear without worrying, and there are rewards for doing well, and they are not afraid to marry, what else can they be dissatisfied with?

So Luo Kaixian's suggestion became a new measure for horse farms within a few days, and the branch fences were erected one by one, and with the extra stables built before, several large breeding farms were carefully divided, such as heavy war horses, speed war horses, large beef cattle, dairy cows with strange fur, long-haired camels, long-cashmere sheep, and meat sheep......

Fortunately, before the arrival of winter, too many green storage ponds were dug, and today's hundreds of thousands of large livestock can be regarded as eating and drinking, even if it is snowing heavily.

Of course, there are pleasant things, there are troublesome things, the feeding of hundreds of thousands of livestock has been solved, pulling and scattering has become a big problem, there are dozens of carts of cattle, horses, sheep and camel manure that need to be transported from the horse farm every day, and the things that are counted in tons every day have now been piled up into a hill on the periphery of the horse farm, how to deal with these things has become a big problem, fortunately, there are crops in the private sector who like to farm, and the irritable old man Dou Milling is the most typical one, a group of old men pulled a bunch of young offspring, and dug up the frozen soil layer in the east of the horse farm, It took a lot of big pits to make a fertilizer pond to solve this problem.

After this round of tossing, it took twenty days for Luo Kaixian to have a little free.

That night, in order to take care of the physical strength of the two little girls, Luo Kaixian did not work hard, but rarely lay on the stone kang and talked about going to Zhao Song, and the two little girls quit.
