Chapter 172: Reform

Zhang Lang came to the armor workshop under the guidance of the person in charge of the factory, and the sound of ping-pong on the scene was deafening, and thousands of craftsmen were creating the main armor of the new plate armor! Zhang Lang picked up a pair of completed armor from a platform next to him, and felt heavier than the previous heavy armor, so he asked the person in charge on the side: "How much does this armor weigh?" ”

"Fifty-three pounds! It's ten pounds heavier than the previous plate armor! The person in charge replied.

"How effective are the defenses?"

The person in charge said proudly: "The bow and arrow can't penetrate at all, even a strong crossbow can only penetrate at a very close distance!" The defense effect is much better than the previous plate armor! ”

"How many are there now?"

"According to the requirements of the lord, it is being produced at full capacity, and now there are 3,000 sets, and it can be increased to 6,000 sets in the spring of next year!"

Zhang Lang nodded, "Very good!" With this armor, our hoplites will be even more powerful! ”

Then Zhang Lang visited several other places, some produced weapons, some produced siege equipment, everywhere was a hot scene, Zhang Lang's arrival did not disrupt the rhythm here! Everywhere there was the sound of ping-pong, bundles of weapons, pieces of armor were constantly being transported to the warehouse, and in addition to the equipment used by these single people, there were also heavy equipment such as bed crossbows, detachable catapults, and so on!

Zhang Lang was taken by Huang Yueying to a courtyard, where it was not as hot as other places, and hundreds of craftsmen sat neatly in front of hundreds of neatly stacked tables in front of them, like students in class, burying their heads in front of them, but their homework was not an article business, but a small crossbow. The craftsmen carefully assemble the various parts and then adjust them as if they were making a model airplane. This kind of crossbow is actually a kind of crossbow, firing special steel arrows, which can be loaded with ten crossbow arrows at a time, this is actually the Zhuge repeater in history, the so-called Zhuge repeater was actually invented by Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying, of course, today's Huang Yueying is no longer Zhuge Liang's wife!

Huang Yueying took a repeater full of crossbow arrows from a staff member's hand, turned around and handed it to Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang took the crossbow and weighed it, feeling very heavy. Hold it up, pull the lever above the tree trunk more than 20 steps away, snap! A crossbow bolt suddenly flew out of the magazine and nailed it to the trunk of the tree, reset the lever, and then pulled the lever, and the second bolt flew out again!

Zhang Lang laughed, "Okay! Great stuff! Sister Yueying, you are amazing! How can you invent such a powerful weapon! ”

Huang Yueying smiled slightly. glanced at the repeater in Zhang Lang's hand, frowned slightly, and said, "It's a pity that the power of this repeater is a little smaller!" Fifty paces away is useless, and you can't pierce thick armor! The arrows need to be soaked in venom to be unleashed! ”

Zhang Lang returned the crossbow to the staff, walked up to Huang Yueying, and said with a smile: "It's already very good!" If this repeater had the power of a strong crossbow, wouldn't it make people live! Huang Yueying pursed her lips and smiled, thinking: "Although it is impossible to make a powerful repeater that can be used by a single person, it seems that it can make a fuss on the bed crossbow." Huang Yueying fell into deep thought, completely leaving her eldest brother behind, which is like all real scientists, once they think of some problems in scientific research, they will immediately enter the state, and forget about the things around them.

Huang Yueying suddenly rushed into the drawing room, the staff hurriedly got out of the way, Huang Yueying spread out the rice paper on the work table and began to draw.

Zhang Lang was very curious and came behind Huang Yueying. I saw that she was making complex straight lines and curves on rice paper, which seemed to be an exploded view of the various parts of a bed crossbow, but it was more complicated.

Zhang Lang waited for more than half an hour, Huang Yueying was busy, stood up, and said excitedly: "Okay!" ”

Zhang Lang stretched his head forward and looked at it, "What is this?" It looks like a bed crossbow, huh? ”

Huang Yueying pursed her lips and smiled, "Big brother is right!" But that's not all right! This is no ordinary bed crossbow, I put the principle of repeater to use! ”

Zhang Lang was stunned, "You mean, this bed crossbow can shoot continuously?" ”

Huang Yueying nodded.

Zhang Lang became excited, turned his head and said to the person in charge of the factory: "Do your best to make samples according to the drawings, and once they are finished, send someone to notify me immediately." "No."

Zhang Lang looked at Huang Yueying and said with emotion: "Sister Yueying, you are not only a female Zhuge , but also a female doctor!" ”

Huang Yueying pursed her lips and smiled.

Zhang Lang looked at her smiling face and couldn't help thinking: Although talented women are uglier than ugly? Sister Yueying coexists with wisdom and beauty! The appearance is not inferior to that of Diao Chan, but the wisdom is not inferior to Zhuge Liang Jia Wenhe!

Huang Yueying saw Zhang Lang staring at herself, looking drooling, her delicate face couldn't help but turn red, she was ashamed and happy. Subconsciously reached out and stroked the hair on his sideburns.

The entire Lu Bu Legion temporarily ceased fighting, and according to the plan of Zhang Lang and the strategists, it was necessary to rest for at least half a year. During this period, the regiments stepped up their training, and in order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, Zhang Lang promulgated a new order on rewards and punishments, which more clearly and detailed the system of rewarding military merits and dealing with violations of military law. In addition, following the example of the political commissar system of later generations, a group of particularly loyal and thoughtful officers were trained intensively and then assigned to various armies; they did not get involved in specific training and command tasks, but had only one task, so as to instill in the officers and men the idea of loyalty and daring to fight.

At the same time as the army was carrying out rest and training, the work of the government was also in full swing, and the government structure of various localities was reformed, and some powers were withdrawn and delegated, the most important reform was to abolish the real power of the assassin history, and the assassin history of a state did not have the full strength to manage the localities, and their point was to supervise the administration of the county governments, and at the request of Zhang Lang, the work of the assassin history was inclined to anti-corruption. The administrative authority of each place fell on the shoulders of the county governor. At the same time, the functions and powers of the county taishou were also separated, he could only manage civil affairs, the local public security was managed by the county governor, the local finances were managed by the treasurer, and the militarized training and preparation of the local people were managed by Sima.

After such a setup, Zhang Lang was still not very satisfied, so he met with Huang Yueying, set up a patrol envoy, temporarily appointed and dismissed every year, and reported the reputation of political achievements in various places. The first person to patrol Shuzhong was Huang Yueying.
