248 Friends come from afar

The soldiers who beat the iron camp and flowed water, this sentence is not bad at all, and after a few months, he returned to the Niulanshan camp again, the camp was generally undiscussed with the original, but it was already a thing and a person, and the guards were the subordinates of the Zhao family, and the trainees were the children of the Zhao family.

People have no foresight, there must be near-term worries, now the mob is in trouble, the thieves are everywhere, many lawbreakers take the opportunity to make trouble, and the risk of business is getting bigger and bigger, especially after the battle of not sticking to the mud, Zhao Yuqing, who has always been shrewd, also consciously sent the children of the clan here for training to enhance the strength of the Zhao clan.

For a shrewd businessman, he can get rich at any time, but no matter how much money he has, he has to save his life to enjoy, Zhao Yuqing has added some entertainment living facilities on the basis of the original camp, such as bathhouses, study rooms, tea rooms, etc., after all, these are their own children, not people recruited from homeless people or ordinary people, to Lu Haoshan's surprise, this is only the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and there are already people training in this camp.

"Bang Bang"

"Bang Bang Bang"

When Lu Haoshan took Zhao Min and Lin Yuexuan to the Niulanshu camp, there were people inside who were practicing muskets, listening to the sound, it was a bird.

"Sister Min, the children of your Zhao family are really diligent, it's only the fourth year of junior high school, and you're training so soon." Lin Yuexuan said with some surprise.

Rao is a thousand households in Wenchong, and he officially started training on the sixth day of the first month, Lu Haoshan is a thousand households, so he can be lazy, and soldiers like Jiangyou have set off one after another, ready to return to the team for training.

Zhao Min said with a smile: "It's not that it's diligent, it's mainly this need." ”

"Need this?" Lin Yuexuan said with some curiosity: "These are also Haoshan's private soldiers?" ”

"That's not it, but Xianggong needs it, and these soldiers will definitely listen to his orders, mainly for today's spring tea, Sister Xuan, you also know that now Shaanxi is in a mess. The road is not smooth, in order to collect tea smoothly and safely, these soldiers naturally have to train hard to contribute to the growth of the family. ”

Although it is still the New Year, the Zhao family has prepared for this year's spring tea early, everything in the world is like this, there are good sides and bad sides, the political situation is turbulent, group thieves are everywhere, and the reduction of tea production is certain, but unknown risks can also eliminate a large number of people who have no strength. That people's demand for tea is undiminished, for them, they would rather not eat meat for three days, can not drink tea for a day, there are fewer monks, the porridge will naturally be more, with Lu Haoshan as a backer, the Zhao family has long been grinding their fists and preparing to do a big job.

Seeing that Lin Yuexuan didn't understand very well, Zhao Min explained again. Lin Yuexuan suddenly realized, and said with a wistful face: "The tea and horse exchange is a profitable business, and with this financial road, it is natural not to worry about money." ”

Lu Haoshan recruited a large number of troops. The food is good, the treatment is good, and there is no need for free "soldiers" to recruit those soldiers who want to be paid, I thought Lu Haoshan was crazy. Sooner or later, he would have to go bankrupt, but he didn't expect Lu Haoshan to integrate with one move, and the source of income and throttling was eye-catching. And he also made a lot of achievements in the exchange of tea and horses, and it turned out that he was planning to act.

"It's not like that" Lu Haoshan said lightly: "There is an old saying that is good, money can make ghosts grind, in this world, money is not everything, but without money, it is absolutely impossible, if you don't worry about money, it is estimated that you will reach the peak of life, there is no goal and no pursuit, that is, to improve your life, say don't worry, it is impossible." ”

Everyone said while entering the camp, which was transferred to the Zhao family, and the people guarding the door were all from the Zhao family, and when they saw Lu Haoshan and Zhao Min coming together, they didn't need to be instructed to open the gate early.

"Zhao Tianyun, you fool, do you know how difficult this gun is, see if I don't smoke you to death."

"Fourth uncle, don't, I, I, I didn't mean to."

As soon as Lu Haoshan entered the camp, he heard someone begging for mercy, turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man holding a leather whip, driving a teenager everywhere, and the boy begged for mercy while running, the situation looked a little funny.

Zhao Min was a little overwhelmed, the people who were trained in this camp were either the descendants of the Zhao family or the children of the Zhao family, and when he saw him walking over, he smiled and said, "Fourth uncle, why did you start Tianyun?" ”

Seeing that there was a backer coming, Zhao Tianyun hurriedly ran behind Zhao Min, pouted and said, "Sister, I broke the musket, no, it was the musket that was broken, and I didn't mean it." ”

The fourth uncle is Zhao Yuqing's uncle and brother, a generation higher than Zhao Min, and has been a soldier, has experience, and was put here by Zhao Yuqing to "shine", although the seniority is high, but the status is much worse than Zhao Min, and Zhao Min is not only the daughter of the patriarch, but also the wife of the five-grade official, as soon as the fourth uncle who was still fierce just now saw that it was Zhao Min, he immediately stopped, put down the whip in his hand, and had a smile on his tense face: "It turned out to be a good niece, it's nothing, it's just that this kid is not angry, and he broke two muskets in one day, Do you think you shouldn't fight? How precious this musket is. ”

Before Liu Jinzhu transferred the treasure, he buried part of the musket depot that did not stick to the mud into the ground, and afterwards Lu Haoshan told Zhao Yuqing the secret, Zhao Yuqing secretly sent someone to dig it up, and saw that Lu Haoshan used the musket to make great contributions in the eradication of the mud, so he also let the children of the Zhao family practice the musket diligently.

At this time, Lu Haoshan also came over, and when he heard that Zhao Tianyun had broken two muskets in one day, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, breaking two muskets in one day, the ability is not small." ”

"The villain meets the adult." Seeing Lu Haoshan coming, the fourth uncle immediately saluted.

Zhao Tianyun also shouted obediently: "Brother-in-law"

Lu Haoshan hurriedly persuaded: "Excuse me, excuse me, it's all my own people, and besides, I'm not dealing with business now." ”

"Yes, yes"

Zhao Tianyun said with some grievances: "Brother-in-law, I didn't mean it, I just left it and it broke by itself." Zhao Tianyun explained to himself in a low voice.

"Bring me all the muskets." Lu Haoshan's heart moved, and then he spoke.

Having status is different, as soon as they opened their mouths, the Zhao family quickly gathered about forty muskets together for Lu Haoshan to check.

Lu Haoshan first looked at the two broken ones, and saw that both of them were broken barrels, for muskets, a crack in the barrel is useless, it is not comparable to a burning stick, it is considered a complete reimbursement, and then look at the others, Lu Haoshan shook his head in disappointment: Except for a small part that is still new, most of them have dilapidation, small trachoma, rust and other problems. It is estimated that it will not take long to be fully reimbursed.

"Fourth uncle, don't blame Tianyun, this is a musket that is too worn, and it will be broken if you change it." Lu Haoshan said a little depressed after reading the musket.

Although these muskets are not his own, Lu Haoshan knows that the batch of muskets in his hands will not last long, this is not a matter of old and new, nor is it improper operation. And the technology, for the Ming Dynasty, now the most advanced should be the bird gun, by gunpowder fire, the operation is more troublesome, in addition, the material is also a fatal injury, although the Ming Dynasty said that there were firearms and artillery, but the iron to create firearms still has a lot of impurities. All processes are manual, and one qiē needs to be improved.

"I know this too, otherwise I would have really smoked him." Fourth Uncle Zhao said with a depressed face: "It was easy to do something before, but there was a matter of not getting muddy." The management of military materials is becoming stricter and stricter, even if you are willing to pay for it, it is not smart, and it is difficult for the patriarch to entrust others to buy it, and it is difficult to buy it with money. ”

For the sake of the upper position. Han Wenden set up a big game, allowing Bu Muddy to rob the armory, allowing him to maximize the impact in the shortest possible time. dragged his predecessor off the horse, but in this way, it also attracted the attention of the imperial court, and sent people to take inventory and check, so that it was a little difficult to get some military supplies, that is, Lu Haoshan asked Han Wendeng several times and wanted musket equipment, but in the end only thirty muskets were approved, half of which were seven-eyed guns.

It is also more generous in terms of grain and grass.

Lu Haoshan had no choice but to comfort him a few words, and then took the two girls around at will.

"It seems that it's time to set up your own workshop and build your own muskets." This was the first thing Lu Haoshan said when he left the Niulanshan camp.

It is better to ask for others than to seek yourself, when the era of hot weapons comes, cold weapons end and exit, that is an irreversible trend, if you want to make firearms on the battlefield, in addition to quantity, quality is also very important, to be honest, later generations spent money to experience a lot of real guns in the barracks Lu Haoshan, but also really look down on these so-called muskets, it is not an exaggeration to say that the future is a high-pressure air gun is much stronger than these, stronger than not, will be used.

In the past, he didn't dare to think about it without strength or conditions, but now that he has the conditions and this experience, Lu Haoshan's mind is active, and he is ready to make a processing workshop by himself and make a gun for himself.

These muskets are not high-tech, that is, the process requirements are more rigorous, Lu Haoshan has experience in blast furnace iron training, mainly for the needs of some parts in later generations, Lu Haoshan is still a bit level in this regard, as for the process, it is better to do, later generations have played with guns, and also bought those simulated toy guns tossed, somewhat impressed, as long as they find the right and experienced craftsmen, have their own guidance and their experience, Lu Haoshan definitely has reason to believe that he can make better muskets.

"This is a good idea," Zhao Min immediately echoed: "But the craftsmen who can shoot muskets are all strictly managed by the imperial court, and it is difficult to recruit them." ”

Lu Haoshan said confidently: "Don't worry, it's man-made, Min'er, you ask your father to pay more attention to it, and if there is a skilled blacksmith, he will accept it, by the way, in recent years, it has become a trend for military households and artisan households to go into exile, and sometimes they also look for it among the homeless, maybe there will be unexpected gains." ”

"yes, I see." Zhao Min happily celebrated.

Lin Yuexuan also echoed on the side: "This is a good idea, I will also ask people to find it." ”

After visiting the Niulanshan camp, the group went straight home, according to the itinerary, the group was ready to return to Guangyuan tomorrow, after all, Lu Haoshan is still a thousand households in Wenchong, and he has the responsibility of guarding the land, even if Han Wensheng takes care of it, it can't be too much.

"Miss Lin, you're finally back, if you don't come back, the little one will send someone to look for you." As soon as everyone came back and got out of the carriage, the menzi immediately said happily when they saw Lin Yuexuan.

Lin Yuexuan was a little strange and said, "Looking for me? What's so urgent? ”

"There's a woman who says she's your relative, and she's waiting for you in the side hall." The man said respectfully. (To be continued......)
