"Smack, smack, slap......"

With a crisp bird's chirping, Xu Liang tested a total of more than 20 bird's guns, except for one, because the lead bullet was not tamped, there was a dumb fire, and after reloading and tamping, it was normal, and the rest of the bird's guns did not have any abnormality. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Li Yuanqing nodded slightly, and did not let Xu Liang continue to test fire.

It is inevitable that something like this kind of machinery will malfunction, even if it is a sophisticated electronic instrument and a high-end car in later generations, there will be some small problems, which Li Yuanqing can accept, but these problems must be within a controllable range, and there must be no major hidden dangers, such as exploding the chamber, which endangers the lives of soldiers who use it, which Li Yuanqing absolutely cannot tolerate.

"Brother Xu, you did a good job." Looking at Xu Liang's nervous appearance, Li Yuanqing smiled and expressed his affirmation.

Xu Liang couldn't help but feel relieved, the dumb fire of the bird just now also made his heart rise to his throat.

Man is not a god after all, and it is impossible to make no mistake at all.

But if you want to beat someone to death with a stick because of a small mistake, this is not the way to go.

Death for a confidant.

Li Yuanqing's tolerance also moved Xu Liang even more. If such a problem had arisen in the military treasury of Guangning before, even if Xu Liang could have escaped death, a ruthless board would be indispensable.

"Little Lord Xie is tolerant." Xu Liang kowtowed to Li Yuanqing a few times.

Old Man Yang and several others also knelt on the ground together.

"Adult, the little one is still a little anxious. If you can endure it a little more, you should be able to do better. Xu Liang knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing glanced at them, then helped them up one by one, and said slowly: "Knowing that mistakes can be corrected, good is great." Actually, it's not that you're in a hurry, or I'm in a hurry. ”

Li Yuanqing looked up at the sun in the sky and soothed his tone, "From today onwards, the blacksmith shop should no longer pursue the quantity of tasks, but start from the most basic quality. Now that our army is short of materials, it is all the more necessary to cherish and make use of the existing resources. In this way, the task of the blacksmith. ”

Li Yuanqing thought for a while, "The main thing is to focus on bird guns, and the monthly quota is set at 80 strokes." With these 80 strokes, can you guarantee that there will be no stubble? ”

After speaking, Li Yuanqing glanced at everyone.

Xu Liang and Old Man Yang glanced at each other, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the task of 120 strokes, they really have some pressure, mainly due to the lack of raw materials, the process that can be achieved in two days in Guangning City, but it takes three or even five days to get here.

Li Yuanqing suddenly shrunk the task of 40 strokes, and their pressure suddenly decreased.

Xu Liang hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Adult, 80 rods, the small ones can be guaranteed by the head, and the task will be completed with quality and quantity." ”

Old Man Yang also kowtowed, but said: "My lord, there is no problem for Xiao Lao'er to complete the task of 80 strokes." But I don't know, the bonus ......"

Li Yuanqing smiled, "The work of the blacksmith shop is the top priority of all the work of my future immortal camp, and it is also the core of the gathering of salaries and silver. At this time, when it was not a wartime, the evaluation of all work was based on quality. As long as you can complete the tasks every month with quality and quantity, I can assure you that you will not hesitate to reward them. ”

Old Man Yang couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Thank you for your kindness, the little old man will die for the adult." ”

Xu Liang also showed joy and kowtowed to Li Yuanqing again and again.

"Huh. Get up. It's not too early. It's time for us to eat, too. Let's go, go to the dining hall, I'm in for a treat. ”

The crowd couldn't help but rejoice.

…………

The canteen is in the old camp, not far from the blacksmith shop, and usually, these craftsmen and workers who work in the blacksmith shop eat breakfast in the canteen, and lunch and dinner are sent by the strong women on the other side of the canteen, because they have to work overtime in a hurry.

Today, Li Yuanqing came over and gave everyone a short vacation temporarily, except for the soldiers on duty who stayed behind, everyone else went to the canteen to eat at noon.

At this time, although there was already a shortage of food on Guanglu Island, Li Yuanqing spoke, and the strong women in charge of the canteen naturally wanted these people to be full, and the amount of food was very sufficient.

In Chinese culture, talking about things at the dinner table is often the most effective means.

In addition to the bird gun, Li Yuanqing also carefully consulted Xu Liang and Old Man Yang about the production process and time of various weapons such as spears, armor, and short knives.

The reason why the blacksmith shop was given to reduce the amount of bird guns was also carefully considered.

The main reason, in addition to the shortage of materials, is also a big reason, which is the shortage of young and strong people under Li Yuanqing.

At this time, the young and strong Dingkou under Li Yuanqing was just in his early thousands.

The number of soldiers is less than a thousand, and on the side of the imperial court, it will take some time for the reward for meritorious service, and on Mao Wenlong's side, the young and strong will not be allocated so quickly, after all, Li Yuanqing is only a garrison now, and the number of more than 1,000 young and strong is already a lot.

Even if Li Yuanqing is Mao Wenlong's favorite general, these things are still not too covetous, including Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan.

In this way, the blacksmith's production capacity is too large, but it is a waste, it is better to set aside some energy for making spears, armor, short knives and other weapons.

Although firearms are the mainstream of future warfare, in this era, subject to the development of the science and technology tree, it is not possible to blindly pursue firearms.

Even in World War II, imps had bayonets on their guns.

Later generations also conducted surveys and studies that showed that the number of bayonet hand-to-hand combat in the war was even higher than the number of all-firearm battles.

At this time, the main enemy on Li Yuanqing's side was the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry of Houjin.

It is still too big to use the basic firearms to fight against these experienced and brave professional soldiers.

Before the Birds, there must be enough protection to ensure that they can be safely exported and complement each other.

In this way, the most suitable class of protection is the pikemen.

Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended.

It is possible to maximize the use of the available resources of the troops.

It's just that in terms of armor, there is not much of a problem, but in terms of spears and short knives, there are still many things that need to be discussed and perfected in detail.

How much is the scale of the spear? How to design a short knife?

Li Yuanqing also wanted to go to the front line of the army and carefully discuss it with the soldiers and officers before making a decision.

As the ancients said, 'There are not many soldiers, but fine.' ’

At this time, under such conditions, whether it is Li Yuanqing or Mao Wenlong's headquarters, the resources are too limited.

Just like the island nation in the future, it is necessary to maximize the use of resources.

After lunch, Li Yuanqing took Xu Liang and Old Man Yang to inspect several blacksmith stoves and coal and firewood storage in the blacksmith shop, and everything was in good order.

Li Yuanqing was also a little surprised, and happened to meet Qu Minqiu coming to inspect the work, which solved his doubts.

It turned out that Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu had gone through a careful division of labor before, Zhang Yunniang was responsible for coordinating the overall situation, and Qu Minqiu was responsible for finding and repairing the dew.

Qu Minqiu had been in control of Quang Ninh's Zhang's Baofeng Tang before and had rich management experience, and she used her businessman's set to manage the work of the blacksmith shop, and the effect was naturally very good.

In fact, this is just like the state-owned enterprises and the first batch of private emerging enterprises in the early generations, the different profit models are destined to be very different in efficiency.

State-owned enterprises, because of the support of policies, the good and bad, extravagant, and wasteful, all have the state to pay. However, because of the problem of profitability, private enterprises must ensure that the boss makes money, so the management will be stricter, the cost will be more firmly controlled, and the efficiency will naturally be improved.

Later, after the marketization, this difference gradually became smaller.

For example, when these craftsmen worked in the Quang Ninh Military Treasury, although there was no shortage of various raw materials and the equipment was also very advanced, it could not guarantee their personal interests, and the state of 'not contributing to the work' could not be avoided.

At this time, although the blacksmith shop in Guangludao had limited resources and equipment was not advanced enough, Li Yuanqing could guarantee their own interests, and they would naturally work harder to make good products to win more financial rewards from Li Yuanqing.

This is equivalent to Li Yuanqing taking the lead in privatizing the blacksmith shop in Guangludao, even if the order is set by himself.

It was already evening when I left the blacksmith shop and returned to my lodgings.

According to the 'rotation system', Li Yuanqing is going to rest here in Qu Minqiu tonight.

Although the conditions of Guangludao are poor, Qu Minqiu's living habits are still very exquisite, she personally went to fry a few side dishes, and warmed a pot of hot wine for Li Yuanqing, and then under the service of Lotus Root, she had dinner with Li Yuanqing.

Frankly speaking, although Li Yuanqing is a pure mud leg, he also enjoys Qu Minqiu's small life with a hint of petty bourgeoisie, and he eats a comfortable and comfortable meal.

In the evening, after completing the routine work, handing over the public grain, and lying in Qu Minqiu's warm quilt, Li Yuanqing had time to whisper to Qu Minqiu.

"Minqiu, is there any news from your eldest brother? When will that batch of grain and grass come over? Li Yuanqing hugged Qu Minqiu's slender waist and said.

Although Qu Minqiu has 'died' in the fire in the Zhangjia compound in Guangning City, she has always kept in touch with the Qu family as another identity of the wealthy family of Guangludao.

This is also deliberately done by Li Yuanqing.

After all, Liaohai's resources are too limited, although the Qu family is not authentic, but in this era of paying attention to reputation, their reputation is still good, plus they are bold, as long as there is money to earn, they dare to do anything.

Li Yuanqing also needs them to provide some basic exchange for his side.

Qu Minqiu said: "This year's grain harvest is not good, and it is not yet time to get new grain. Yuanqing, I estimate, it may not be until the end of March, or the beginning of April, that the eldest brother can come over. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, the Qu family must first ensure that the old customers are served, which is also human nature.

After all, compared with those big heads, Li Yuanqing's goods of 20,000 taels of silver are really insignificant.

At this time, it was already the end of February, and after more than a month, Li Yuanqing had some difficulties on his side, but it was not so bad that he could not persevere.

"By the way, Minqiu, how much silver do I have in my account?"

There are not many literate people under Li Yuanqing's command, and Shang Lao Liu can read a few words, but it is obviously far-fetched to do the accounts, after Qu Minqiu came to Guanglu Island, these jobs are all done by her, and she is also able to work hard, after all, it is Li Yuanqing's ban.

Qu Minqiu thought for a moment and bit her lip lightly, "Yuanqing, now you have more than 21,000 taels of silver here." If this grain deal is paid, there will be less than three thousand taels left. ”
