Next, Zhao Min appointed Ma Jun to work in the Tiangongfang, although this is not an official position, but Ma Jun, who is still young at this time, does not have such great ambitions, he is planning to get an errand and show his strengths, and at this time he can get the role of the workshop director, in fact, it is quite satisfying. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Looking at his fart and turbulent appearance, Zhao Min couldn't help but sigh in his heart, such a future god-level person, he can do it with a simple little supervisor, and the life with a golden finger is really not too proud!

Now the construction of Jimo is basically on the right track, the number of tunbao has increased to 35, the spring ploughing has been basically completed, and the remaining work is to sow seeds and fertilize and take care of the crops. At this time, the main crops are millet, millet, rice, wheat, soybeans, etc., among which millet is millet, millet is yellow rice, and the above five kinds are the main sources of staple food. In addition to rice, they are all planted in dry fields, so the sowing function of the quyuan cocoon plow saves a lot of manpower and material resources.

The two branches of the Tiangongfang have been fully started, but the function has deviated from the earliest idea, and there is no difference between carpentry and ironwork, and it is replaced by two parts: the armory workshop and the civil tool workshop. Among them, the main production of agricultural tools is the main workshop, in addition to a small number of hoes, sickles, rakes, and the creation of the thumperium, the main force is the production of curved plows. At present, the local Quyuan plough in Jimo has basically reached saturation, but with the previous seven eastern counties to Jimo to see the extraordinary effect of this new type of agricultural tools, they have to inquire whether they can buy it. At the request of Zhao Min, the workshop does not hide its selfishness, responds to requests, and is currently working overtime to produce at full capacity, which is still in short supply. When the Tuntian in Duchang, Pingshou and other places rise, as well as the purchase after learning the news in a little farther places, the market for Quyuan cocoon-plough should last for two to three years. The cost of building the Quyuan plough is about 200-300 yuan per frame, and the market price is unified as 1,000 yuan, and the profit of a single frame can reach more than 700 yuan! This is much better than Zhao Min originally expected, and at present, when wine and tea are not on sale, the sale of Quyuan Cocoon Plough has become the main source of income for Jimo.

The production task of the armory workshop is much more complicated. Although the Jimo army has nearly doubled in size, because of the bumper harvest in Pingshou, there is no shortage of weapons. At present, the main gap is the creation of armor. As mentioned earlier, the main armor of the soldiers of the Xia Dynasty is mainly armor, and the most common equipment of the soldiers is two-level armor, so the most important thing to build now is two-level armor. In fact, with the current situation of lax armaments in various parts of the Xia Dynasty, except for the border army, there are few places where the soldiers are equipped with two-grade armor mixed with metal and leather, and there are only a few sets of symbolic armor in the armament of the imperial court, so even in the repeated battles experienced by Zhao Min, almost all of us and the enemy are fighting without any protection, and of course there can be no armor in the capture.

However, the Jimo soldiers are happy to have a paranoid leader - Zhao Min. Ignoring Xiahou Ying's opposition, he strongly demanded that all conventional combat units must be equipped with armor, at least two-grade armor. Zhao Min's idea is very simple, the armor like the two-gear armor can protect the vital points of the human body, and the other parts are injured, as long as they are not fatal for a while, our army that can be disinfected with alcohol can basically escape their lives. Although Zhao Min has become a little accustomed to the loss of life after the baptism of repeated wars, since there is always bloodshed, it is better to shed the blood of the enemy than to shed the blood of his own people. Under the guidance of such simple thinking, the Jimo Army ushered in a major change of clothing for the whole army, but this also made Xiahou Ying, who was in charge of finance, bitter. A pair of armor costs at least 3,500 yuan, and now there are more than 7,000 people in the entire army of Jimo, and a set of armor per person is 25 million yuan! If it weren't for Zhao Min's promise that the future sales of wine and tea would be handled by Xiahou Ying with full authority, I'm afraid that his maternal uncle would really have to stage a jumping scene in front of Zhao Min.

In addition to armor, the armory workshop also has to create weapons for Zhao Min's personal guards. And although the total number of these weapons is not much, it is precisely the most troublesome part. In order to fit the equipment of Zhao Min's personal guard mandarin duck array, a total of several weapons such as spears, short guns, large shields, round shields, big knives, ring head knives, etc., are also equipped with completely different armor because of the different positioning and standing positions of the troops, for example, the big shield hand is not afraid of piercing damage because of the big shield, and the armor on the body is mainly plate armor to prevent blunt hits, and the pikeman must use fish scale armor with excellent protection performance in all aspects due to the lack of protection of the whole body. As we all know, each piece of non-mass-produced equipment needs to be made by hand individually, so this batch of armor also consumes a lot of time and energy of the craftsmen of the armory.

Another highlight of the armory workshop was the ballista and thunderbolt, which performed well in the hands of the small test man in Xiami, which made Zhao Min affirm his determination to increase production and investment. His idea was to expand both of these instruments to 100 units, and Xia Houying almost didn't get angry when he learned the news. Fortunately, whether it is a ballista or a thunderbolt cannon, the construction is quite time-consuming, and the cycle of building one is about ten days, so the investment belongs to the long-term flow investment, and there is still some room for rotation in funds.

Of course, in fact, neither of these two things has been produced yet, because neither the imitation of the ballista nor the improvement of the thunderbolt cannon can bear fruit in three or two days, in addition to the craftsmanship, there are also the constraints of skilled workers.

When Zhao Min took Ma Jun to visit the armory workshop, Ma Jun seemed to have found a beloved toy, and was immediately attracted by the thunderbolt cannon and the ballista. When Zhao Min put forward his own improvement ideas, Ma Jun immediately assured that it would take a month at most to see results, which made Zhao Min let go of a matter.

Compared to agriculture and industry, the barracks are a little more chaotic. Because there are nearly 4,000 more professional soldiers, the original barracks are not big enough! Fortunately, the soldiers themselves could also act as builders, and all they needed to build the barracks was wood, felt cloth, and other materials, so they suspended their training after returning from the understatement, and the whole army threw themselves into a vigorous large-scale construction campaign.

The matter of building a military camp is easy to solve, but it is not so simple for thousands of people to eat, drink, and sleep. Military uniforms and weapons don't need to be worried, but soldiers need a lot of personal items such as quilts, beds, utensils, and other bits and pieces, which add up to a lot of expenses. During this time, because of this Xiahou Ying, she was so worried that she had gray hair on her head, but no matter how anxious she was, she had to do these things, and she couldn't let thousands of soldiers not even have a place to sleep at night, right? If you lay on the floor, there is no problem for a day or two, but after a long time, the voice of natural complaints will come out, if there is no place to sleep and provoke a military mutiny, such a big sin Xiahou Ying can not afford. So the caravan under the name of Xiahou's family has been shuttling around to buy daily necessities for the past two days, and even the people's tool workshop has stopped working for three days to help build utensils, and Xiahou Ying is also honored to be the busiest person during this time.

In addition, there are also quite a few problems in the establishment of the army, after all, it is a team of nearly 4,000 people, and it is certain that it will be broken up and reorganized, and it will be done before returning to Jimo. But that's a stopgap measure after all, and there's still a lot of work to be done for a real reorganization. For example, it is necessary to classify according to the strengths of the soldiers, those who are good at hand-to-hand combat are classified into melee arms, those who are good at bows and crossbows are rowed to long-range combat camps, and those who know some technical operations should enter the equipment battalion, and even those who are familiar with cooking must be incorporated into the army, etc. Zhao Min's idea was to form a melee battalion of 2,000 people, a bow and crossbow battalion of 3,000 people, and an equipment battalion and cavalry battalion of 1,000 people each.

Among them, the formation of the cavalry battalion naturally benefited from the harvest of Duchang Horse Farm, but due to the characteristics of Wuhuan war horses, they were not all suitable for heavy armor horse training, and there were not so many war armor vests to equip them, so the final result of the discussion with Zhao Yun, Jiang Qin and others was that only three hundred heavy armored horses were retained, and the war horses and knights were required to be physically strong, and the remaining seven hundred war horses were classified as light cavalry, and the daily weapons were mainly strong crossbows and war knives, mainly for fast running and daily harassment tasks.

The problems of the army are protracted and cannot be completed in a day, so this mess must continue for some time. Compared with Zhao Min's most troublesome government affairs problem, it has been effectively solved. Due to Zhao Min's increasing authority in Jimo, the addition of the post of protector, and Lu Xu's rebellion breaking the original equilibrium situation, etc., now the wealthy families of Jimo have shown favor to Zhao Min, and the children of various families have also sprung up to ask for help. Of course, Zhao Min will not be polite in the face of such a situation, and he will not refuse all of them. Now is the time when there is a need for manpower, and these educated scholars can be qualified for many positions. So Zhao Min placed them in various places to serve as clerks and assistants, which also greatly reduced the work tasks of Meng Hou and others, and allowed the bookkeeper of the Xiahou family, who had to be brought in to fill the number, to return to his due post.

Zhao Min is not worried that so many children of various families will flood the government affairs system and form leaks, because all his secrets are either in his own brain or belong to the military system, and he cannot access the core confidential content when dealing with ordinary government affairs. And the people who can get in touch with the core, except for a limited number of people such as Meng Hou and Xiahou Jie, all the rest are direct family members of the Xiahou family.

Nowadays, Jimo is full of prosperity, and although everyone is busy, everyone has a sense of fulfillment and pride, because watching the city change day by day in their own hands, this sense of accomplishment also inspires the pride of Jimo people.

Everyone is busy, and Zhao Min is no exception. Every department needs his care, after all, the accumulation of knowledge and culture that has been ahead for more than 1,000 years, often Zhao Min's casual remarks can induce a change in the thinking of the responsible department, thereby causing a chain reaction, or improving efficiency, or improving methods, in short, it can always cause everyone to sigh, Beihai King is worthy of being the son of heaven, he can always hit the key point, and he is far-sighted, so that Zhao Min is full of admiration everywhere he goes, so that Zhao Min himself is also a little embarrassed.

In addition to inspecting the work of various places, Zhao Min is also busy exercising and studying government affairs. But the most important thing is that he is waiting—waiting for the final will of the imperial court, which is the key to whether the results of the bloody battle of the Jimo soldiers in Beihai can be implemented. As early as after taking the secret city, Zhao Min had already sent the celebration chapter to the Beijing Division, of course, the chapter was written by Meng Hou, Zhao Min could not write such a gorgeous rhetoric, and he had to try his best to sing praises for himself, but he couldn't just say it, and expressed his meaning in the rhetoric in an obscure article. However, the efficiency of the imperial court is always much lower, especially in the current situation where eunuchs and relatives are in power, so it is reasonable to take more time.

In the busy and anxious anticipation, someone from the Qingzhou Mansion came to inform him that the King of Beihai should rush to Lingong, where the state capital is located, before March 15, the third year of Xinping, and there will be an angel of the court to announce the will after the rebellion. After Zhao Min got the news, he jumped up and ordered loudly: "Quickly pass the chief officials everywhere, go to the front hall immediately, and discuss important matters!" ”
