That day, Shi Gang listened to Xiao Yi's words and secretly made plans, Xiao Yi had already said this, after all, Shi Gang was his brother, and it was enough to say this, Shi Gang had never disappointed Xiao Yi for so long, and Xiao Yi hoped that it would be the same this time.

In fact, Shi Gang and the rice shop owner Lifang got married, which helped the Yong'an Army, because in this way, it would be much more convenient to buy rice and rice, and there would be a lot more eyes and ears in various parts of the state city, so why not.

But Xiao Yi didn't know who Lifang was, and he only had the fate of one side that day, so he could only properly remind Shi Gang to take care of it, after all, he didn't know his heart when he knew people.

There is also the reward of the soldiers who returned last time, and each soldier who returned from victory has a reward of silver, a few taels of less, dozens of more, and those who fought bravely were recorded in the military merit book regardless of the size, and the soldiers were very happy.

After receiving the reward, they all returned home with rice, noodles and meat bought in the market, and their wives and children were reunited with their parents.

Xiao Yi was not idle in the past three days, he felt that it was time to make a pair of helmets for the soldiers, and he still only wore a hat made of coarse cloth leather that was issued, which was difficult to resist the bow and arrow knife cut, and secondly, it greatly affected the appearance of the army, so he called Qi Lao and the three on the first day to ask about the helmet styles in various places at this time.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many kinds of armor, and the most valuable and the most protective was the armor worn by Yuan Chonghuan under the Jingshi City that day, the famous mountain pattern armor, which was specially made in the Ming Dynasty to show the rule of the Han people.

It is the most beautiful armor in the Ming Dynasty, and the protective power is also very strong, and there is a difference between gold lacquer and black lacquer, and Yuan Chonghuan is wearing gold lacquer mountain pattern armor.

The gold lacquer mountain armor with the iron helmet is a kind, but there is no special name.

There is also a hood armor, which was originally a purple flower armor, but due to the conflict with the royal family, the imperial court canceled the purple flower armor nine years ago and replaced it with black and yellow, etc., purple is only for the royal family, and the helmet with the armor does not have a corresponding name.

There are also cloth face armor, chain mail, etc., Xiao Yi is also concerned about the matching helmet of chain mail, which is the famous six-point hat helmet in later generations.

This kind of helmet is divided into six pieces in order to save manufacturing costs, and after careful polishing, it will emit a dazzling luster in the sun, and can be used to enhance the formation.

However, most of the helmets at the end of the Ming Dynasty were made of pig iron, which was fragile and easy to rust, and the craftsmen coped with it, and most of the helmets produced were uneven, both in terms of protection and aesthetics.

The first thing to make a six-break pointed hat helmet is to smelt the pig iron into mature iron, so that the helmet will be strong and wear-resistant, and then after the fine polishing of the craftsmen, it can be glamorous.

On the one hand, Xiao also asked Qi Lao to gather the newly recruited craftsmen to make helmet drawings in detail, and on the other hand, he arranged for Shi Lu to go to the state city to purchase the coal and equipment needed, and then invited some new technicians and craftsmen.

----

Three days later, a group of new craftsmen and technicians have moved into Changning Town with their families, and there is one person with them, according to Shi Lu, it is an old technician named Zeng La, and this person is familiar with the production method of Daming iron helmets, Xiao also let him join in the production of iron helmets, this Zeng La's family of three, a wife Deng, and a son Zeng.

Shi Lu also said that this Zeng La was fifty years old in Chinese New Year's Eve, and his son Zeng La was also eighteen, and it was time to go into battle to kill the enemy, when he heard that he was from Yong'an Fort, he was anxious to follow Shi Lu to join the army, Xiao Yi only laughed when he heard it, and did not care.

Xiao Yi's request for all soldiers is that they cannot go home outside the early spring ploughing holiday, and they eat and live in the barracks, and there is a day off every six days, and in addition, the barracks will arrange three meals a day.

In addition, Xiao also found that people in some different regions had the habit of skipping breakfast, so he decided that the soldiers could choose to eat or skip breakfast according to their needs, but for the sake of training and the health of the soldiers, two meals in the evening were a must.

Many soldiers laughed and praised each other, and the problem of worrying about the Yong'an Army was not whether they would be able to eat, but the problem of how much they ate would help them train, and this back and forth was also spread throughout the Datong Right Guard.

Early in the morning, I saw a soldier with the help of his wife putting on his newly issued leather armor, saying goodbye to his family and going to the barracks with the same armor from the other houses.

The women leaning on the door looked at the backs of their men, and they all felt extremely proud, and the leather armor soldiers wearing the Yong'an Army on the road felt the responsibility and honor on their shoulders.

It was on this day that Xiao Yi personally returned to Yong'an Fort to take Huang E to Changning Town. When I went back this time, Xiao also found that Yong'an Fort was very different, and it seemed to have changed a lot compared to Yong'an Fort in Changning Town.

As soon as he arrived in Yong'an Fort Huangyang, he was busy complaining to Xiao Yi, saying that after such a long time in Yong'an Fort, the people and homeless people who came to join their families every day from all over the country were already in an endless stream, even if they carefully screened every day, there were many new people entering the register, and Xiao Yi didn't know what to do if he didn't come again.

Xiao Yi looked at the booklet, until now Yong'an Fort has more than 300 households, and nearly 1,000 people live in this area, and the number of people has actually exceeded that of Changning Town.

And now the land in the territory has been reclaimed to the edge of the mandarin duck water, and more than a dozen new wells have been opened, and several ditches have been led to irrigate the farmland.

Xiao Yi also found that the territory of Yong'an Fort is simply everywhere for farming, and people live everywhere, as long as it is within the scope of Yong'an Fort Dunwei, there is land where people can live and work in peace and contentment.

When Xiao Yi returned to Yong'an Fort, the people dispersed from Xiao Yiyi's arrival to the official hall of Yong'an Fort for a long time, and Xiao Yi didn't want to go out because of the enthusiasm of the people.

This official hall was built some time ago, and the original site was the stone house where Xiao Yi lived here, and the two stone lions visiting in front of the official hall were still showing their fangs, showing their majesty to the visitors.

In addition to the official hall, the new urn city outside the west gate of Yong'an Fort, Xiao Yi came back this time to let Huang Yang build a circle of city walls outside the original city, Yong'an Fort has nearly 1,000 people living nearby, but the fort is still only about 700 meters in width, which is far from enough.

The construction of Yong'an Fort Xiao Yi was ready with Qi Lao and the three of them as early as the time of construction, the scale of this drawing can be said to be very large, and the current Yong'an Fort is only the innermost inner city when it was first built.

From this day on, it is time to add a layer of city wall to Yong'an Fort, this circle of city walls, more than 2,000 horizontally and vertically, after the completion of Yong'an Fort will be more than three times the original, when most of the people outside the castle can move into the fort to live, no longer have to live in simple houses or nests.

This is a big project, and before starting construction, it will be discussed carefully by Qi Lao and others.

On that day, Xiao Yi and Huang Yang discussed the affairs of Yong'an Fort for a long time, and Huang Yang, the official document of Yong'an Fort, voted to Xiao Yi every day, and Xiao Yi has always had a spectrum in his heart, this time he came to pick up Huang E, and secondly, to deal with the urgent task of Yong'an Fort, so that Huang Yang could take care of Yong'an Fort according to Xiao Yi's instructions, but at this time, it was difficult for Huang Yang to decide when he encountered a major event, and Xiao Yi still needed to determine the overall situation.

Xiao also decided that Yong'an Fort will no longer accept displaced people and ordinary people to enter from today, because all the land in Yong'an Fort has been reclaimed for spring ploughing, and there is nowhere to resettle the displaced people, not to mention that there is no land to divide.

Yong'an Fort used to be short of people and land, but now it is full and nearly saturated, and Xiao Yi's current position is only a management team, and Yong'an Fort can't be allowed to divide more land for wasteland, so it can only be done temporarily. (To be continued.) )
