"Brother Fang, since Pan Wudaunt died, I heard that the officers and soldiers of those guards are now panicked, you go over and tell them today, if you are willing to continue to be a soldier, then stay, and those who are not willing to be a soldier will be allocated land to them and let them cultivate well, of course, those who stay cannot directly join our new army, they must first go through training, select qualified people from them, and as for the rest, they will be used as auxiliary soldiers first, and they will be distributed according to sixty percent of the soldier's salary.

Lao Jia, now that we have enough food, you don't have to buckle the rope all day long, I heard that there are many displaced people from the south who are constantly fleeing here, you are like this, prepare in advance, I will send people to other places to recruit in the near future, in addition, the repair of the city wall, and the construction of the fortress outside the city, but we must speed up!

Tie Xiong, you will arrange it later, I want to go to the research institute for a while, I heard that a few masters have already figured out what they said last time, it is a good thing, I must go and see it! ”

Since the death of Wei Changqing and Pan Wuxing, Shi Lei has finally tasted the taste of monopoly, but unfortunately, he has become busier. Everything is difficult at the beginning', don't do not know, when things begin, only to know how many troubles there are, from the morning just after dawn, after a punch, to now, nearly two hours, he didn't even drink a sip of water, when the people in the house finally went out, he slowly sat down, a tired face, his eyes stared ahead, his mind couldn't help but appear a, delicate, pretty, warm figure, seeing this figure, he couldn't help but whisper in his heart asked, 'I don't know how you are, Are you okay? ’

Beijing, Qianqing Palace

"Queen Mother, I don't know what I have to tell you to call the child over today!" A girl in a light yellow palace robe sat in front of the mother of the Ming Dynasty, Queen Zhou, and asked lightly, and if you look closely, it is Zhu Weiyuan, the princess of Changping.

Seeing this ever-elegant and understanding daughter in front of her, Empress Zhou couldn't help but reach out and grab Zhu Weiyuan's little hand, and said worriedly: "Changping, why should you, those national affairs are handled by your father and the emperor and the Chinese martial arts, you are a girl's family, why should you participate all day?" Look at what you've lost now. ”

"Don't worry, the child is fine, besides, the child didn't help his father much, just dealt with some trivial matters, besides, at this time, the younger brothers are still young, if the child is not helping his father, then wouldn't his father be more tired?" Zhu Weiyuan comforted her mother and said.

Queen Zhou knew her daughter's sensibility and stubbornness, and she was not persuading, but touched the black hair on Zhu Weiyuan's head, and said, "Hey, forget it, I don't care, it's just, Changping, I don't know what the queen mother told you last time, how did you think about it, how about it, do you have any ideas, if you have, talk to the queen mother today." ”

Hearing Empress Zhou's words, Zhu Weiyuan was stunned for a moment, recently, because the situation in the world is not turbulent, the entire court has been busy, and even the first assistant of the cabinet has been replaced, so she has long forgotten what Queen Zhou said.

Seeing the doubts on her daughter's face, Queen Zhou reminded, "It's about your life's events, didn't I tell you last time, 'men should marry and women should marry', you are already sixteen years old, and you will be seventeen years old after the New Year, and many girls of your age have become mothers, although it is said, 'The emperor's daughter is not worried about marrying', but you can't delay, right?" So, recently, my father and mother have been thinking about it! ”

As soon as Queen Zhou's words came out, Zhu Weiyuan's face suddenly leaked a gloomy look, and she was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Queen Mother, the child doesn't want to think about this matter yet, seeing that the world is getting more and more chaotic now, and the father is also busy with court politics all day and night, the child doesn't want to add a burden to you at this time, about the child's marriage, let's wait until the situation in the world is stable!" ”

For Zhu Weiyuan's words, Queen Zhou didn't know how to refute it, it stands to reason that at this time, it is indeed not the time to consider this kind of thing, but thinking of what she had guessed before, Queen Zhou still couldn't help but ask, "Changping, you don't want to get married, is it because you already have someone you like in your heart, is it the Jinshi who was demoted to Shaanxi by your father, but, you"

Before Queen Zhou's words were finished, she was interrupted by Zhu Weiyuan and said, "Queen Mother, what are you talking about, the reason why the child doesn't want to get married now is because the timing is not right, there is no other reason, you don't have to think about it, okay, the few suggestions that the child promised to his father have not been written, if the queen mother has nothing to do, the child will retire." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Weiyuan bowed like Queen Zhou, and then left the Qianqing Palace quickly, when she walked out of the gate of the Qianqing Palace, she found that it was actually raining lightly in the sky, Zhu Weiyuan did not wait for the maid to give him an umbrella, but just walked in the drizzle, but, no one saw it, he didn't know when there were two more water marks on his face, like rain, and like tears, but her eyes looked firmly at the west, as if she wanted to see something clearly

People say, 'five hundred miles of one weather', this sentence is really good, when the city of Beijing is still cloudy, autumn rain continues, Yulin is indeed a very rare sunny day, this weather is good, people's mood is also better.

Walking on the street, I saw that although the building was a little dilapidated, the people on the street were in high mood and elated, not to mention that many of the various gadgets and snacks that had not been seen had never been seen appeared on the streets and alleys.

You know, all of this was slowly realized under his hands, not to mention anything else, let's just say that many people who make gadgets and snacks on this street are not locals, but those who were originally displaced people from outside the city.

I have to say that we Chinese people are the best at survival, no matter how cruel the environment, as long as they don't starve to death, they can always adapt the fastest and develop.

Shi Lei's recruitment of a large number of workers some time ago, although it was extremely difficult for him, but it gave those homeless people at least hope to live, to be fed, and to have the best wages, with these basic conditions, those homeless people finally broke out the long-accumulated enthusiasm.

In addition to the young laborers working or serving as soldiers, the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled who did not work did not wait for death, but tried every means to save themselves, and for a while, all kinds of rare gadgets and snacks appeared.

For these new novelties, Yulin locals are also very novel, for a while, Yulin City actually appeared a rare prosperous scene, so that those passing by outsiders feel very surprised!

Passing through the bustling streets, Shi Lei's group of people were finally able to drive their horses to run, and under the gallop of fast horses, they came to a somewhat dilapidated manor outside the city, but, before they entered, they heard a sound of thunder, coming from inside the manor.

Hearing this voice, the iron bear walking in front of Shi Lei couldn't help grinning, for the huge noise, he didn't hear it for the first time, and he was very familiar with it, you know, the first time he saw that thing, he heard Shi Lei say that just such a thing can explode the armor for explanation, at that time, he was still very disdainful, thinking that Shi Lei was bragging.

But afterwards, when the loud noise, his eyes instantly straightened, and he saw that a small hammer-like thing, not only loud, but also very amazing, those elite armor used for demonstration, was actually cracked by the small fragments after the explosion of that thing, to penetrate three layers, what is this concept, the iron bear who has been on the battlefield knows that the most powerful crossbow arrow is so powerful.

That's the effect of the first test, and now I don't know how many generations it is, anyway, since then, Tie Xiong has been thinking about wanting to get a few outfits, but Shi Lei has always refused his request because he is not yet mature, which makes Tie Xiong very depressed.

Sure enough, when Tie Xiong accompanied Shi Lei to a huge clearing through the six sentry posts, he saw the three old men discussing something with happy faces, but when they saw Shi Lei appear, they all hurriedly ran here.

"My lord, it's done, it's done, we've finally created what you said, although there have been some changes, but it's much more powerful." After saying that, he handed over an object.

Looking at the thing in his hand that finally looked like a grenade in the future, Shi Lei couldn't help but sigh.

Since leaving the capital to Yulin, Shi Lei knew that if he wanted to survive in this troubled world and rise in place, then he would have an invincible army, but unfortunately, there was no time, Da Ming was crumbling and was about to perish, and Li Zicheng was also attacking cities everywhere, trying to change the dynasty, and the Manchu Qing outside the gate ushered in a more aggressive Dolgon, so Shi Lei knew that if he developed according to the convention, he would wait until he was not wiped out by Li Zicheng's army. It was to fall under the butcher's knife of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

So, if you want to speculate, you can only start with weapons, although the firearms at the end of the Ming Dynasty are already very powerful, but in Yulin, a small remote place, where to find the kind of craftsmen who can make firearms, helplessly, convenient and trouble-free and powerful grenades have become Shi Lei's first choice.
