Chapter 236: Blacksmith Battalion
After cleaning up Hu Jie ruthlessly, Song Qing began to click on the blacksmiths sent over this time, these blacksmiths are doing errands in Pizhou on weekdays, and most of them are building weapons and the like, and they have a lot of dealings with soldiers, Hutong Zhi is an old acquaintance, some skills are good, and he also helped Hutong Zhi repair weapons and armor, although the dog camp has never seen it, but he has been watching it all day during the day, but he has no fear, as for the Song Lord in front of him, it is needless to say that he will be the proprietor in the future.
When they arrived in front of Song Qing, the blacksmiths showed a little fear, after all, Hutong Zhi was already a big man in their opinion, but he was so respectful to this young man, although the two of them were playing just now, but the beaten Hutong Zhi looked flattering, and the young adult in front of him was naturally an even more remarkable figure.
As for the official position or something, they have also heard that the biggest one here is only a thousand households, but there are many tricks of the guard office, if you have no one in your hands, no one will listen to you no matter how big the grade, this Lord Song is obviously the kind of person who has someone in his hand, and it is estimated that he is still very rich, otherwise Hutong knows why he respects him so much.
If you can do things under this person, it's pretty good, anyway, it's iron everywhere, now that it's been caught and sent by Hutongzhi, it is estimated that you don't want to go back to Pizhou in a short time, fortunately, Xuzhou is not far away, but I don't know how much this salary can give, this little adult must not be too black-hearted.
Hu Jie is actually very attentive, and the ones he selected are those who have good skills and their own shops are not big, if they have a foundation in Pizhou City. It is estimated that he will not follow Song Qing when he is killed, now these are young blacksmiths, and they have not reached the master's perfect skills, but the level is not bad, and the most important thing is that he has a hope for life, always thinking about making more money, Song Qing He also knows better, and he is quite generous, just looking at the dog camp soldiers wearing food, it can be seen that it is estimated that these blacksmiths will also be good. That's why I was relieved and boldly sent all the blacksmiths over. just wanted to give a surprise, but who knew that Lu Dao let Song Qing wander around the city for a day.
Song Qing was very satisfied, and he was planning to set up a blacksmith battalion based on the group of people he had brought back from the capital. Plus a local blacksmith in Xuzhou. It's just that the number is still a little worse after all. Now with the addition of these blacksmiths in Pizhou, it is basically enough, and when the time comes, we will select some children who are smart and willing to endure hardships. Give these blacksmiths a hand, learn for a year and a half, and then they can make something, and when their team grows stronger, these people will just be able to use it.
Blacksmiths are basically straightforward people because of their professions, Song Qing is not polite at the moment, and said bluntly: "You are all people from Hutong, I am naturally trustworthy in my craft, after I arrive in Xuzhou, I will weave you together with the blacksmiths in Xuzhou, make a blacksmith battalion, give you three taels of silver per month, eat and live, and give meat to eat during the New Year, two sets of new clothes every year, contract for three years, if you are willing to stay, the salary will rise again, and if you don't want to, you can go back to Pizhou by yourself, do you want to do it?" ”
"It's done!" The head of the big man first agreed, this year the slaughterer who kills pigs and sells meat is only thirty taels a year, those with apprentices, and the masters themselves have blacksmith shops, it is estimated that they are not much stronger than this, their young generations are worse after all, almost a dozen taels of silver every year, since the place is in charge of food and housing, then these thirty-six taels are almost a net income, not to mention the meat of the New Year's Festival, and two sets of new clothes every year, of course he will not refuse.
This big man seems to have a lot of prestige among the blacksmiths, and the rest of the people also nodded when they saw him agree, and a few of them pondered carefully for a while, thinking that it was indeed beneficial, Xuzhou was not far from Pizhou, and after a while, everyone should go down, Song Qing immediately asked someone to take them to have a good meal, and waited for the return to Xuzhou with the army tomorrow.
Seeing that Song Qing was satisfied, Hu Jie was also full of smiles, seeing that it was not early, and he no longer ate in the dog camp, but said in a low voice: "In this case, I will leave first, and when the old man arrives, I will definitely send someone to inform Lord Song, I just hope that Lord Song will not lose his word." ”
"Although Lord Hu can rest assured, if that Lord Yang lives one more day, I will not be able to live in peace for one more day, but I still hope that he will kick his legs sooner than you, as long as you don't delay here, I will definitely not have a problem here." Song Qing swore and promised: "As long as Lord Hu can pass the news in time, my side guarantees that there will be no mistakes." ”
After explaining to each other, Hu Jie left with both apprehension and excitement, but if he knew that Song Qing had done such things in the past, and he was good at calculation, he could save the worry and the like, and directly calculate what would happen after becoming a commander.
However, Song Qing's mind is not on this, after all, the old man is still nowhere to be seen, when the time comes, he is most concerned about his blacksmith battalion, or when the firearms workshop can be officially established, he has been thinking about this matter for a few days, but first, the number of blacksmiths is not enough, and secondly, after coming back, he is fighting with others for the sake of turf, and he really didn't have time for a while, and now the outside matter has finally come to an end, and he can step down and prepare for his life.
Early in the morning of the second day, the dog camp quickly pulled out the camp and started the village, heading towards Xuzhou, along the way the bandits from all walks of life went down the mountain to greet them, and it was a good gong and drum, the harrier who went over the mountain did not have the opportunity before, and now he finally understood all the things, and said that he had to go to Xuzhou's Bibo Pool with Song Qing to see and see, and there were several villagers who were also close to the dog camp with this wish, Song Qing did not shirk it, but let them eat some and play, if they could return to their hearts, they would be their own arms in the future.
The army drove out of the mountains, but did not go back to Xuzhou directly, but walked around Pei County, one to see how the Tun was being built, and the other was to show off the force, Song Qing did not have this addiction, but when he broke Zhou Feng Zhuangzi before, it was night, and there was the name of bandits, I was afraid that there would be people around Pei County who did not know much about the combat power of the dog camp, and now they drove over in broad daylight. walked around the place, and let everyone see what kind of power they were cooperating with.
This trip is really effective, almost all the heroes around Pei County were alarmed, and they all honestly carried pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks out, Song Qing finally experienced a handful of military and civilian fish and water, but he was not interested in bullying these small households, let alone that habit, plus he had to buy a good reputation, all the people were given silver. Along the way, this military discipline is strict. Qiu's reputation for not committing any crimes is a record, and when he left, he really heard a few old scholars in the village praise a few words in the crowd, 'True King Shiye', which is worth the trip.
After arriving in Xuzhou, Song Qianhu was still busy. first met with Liao Hong in the east of the city. Arrange the affairs of the new camp head again. After going home to accompany his father and mother, he asked Ding Kui, a friend of women, to arrange the venue for making clothes, and by the way, he found someone to contact the girls, daughters-in-law and mothers of each family. I'm going to do this business first.
After two days of busyness, I finally got free time, and I had a meal at home with my father and mother, Song Li is a person who only has a son in his eyes, seeing Song Qing's hard work, the meal is also sweet, after saying a few words, he almost fell into tears again, Song Qing suddenly panicked, and hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Mother, the child still has something to ask you for help." ”
"It's the thing that makes people make clothes, right?" As Song Qing's father and son become more and more powerful, Song Li's family is now also rising, and there are a group of women from military families around them every day, and the news is also very well-informed. There is no precedent for our Ming Dynasty. ”
"There is no precedent for which dynasty or generation, but this may not be impossible, my blue wave pool, then you said that which dynasty and which generation of bathhouses have been? And the United Supermarket, it's not all things that are made later, you can be relieved that you are guaranteed to make money. Song Qing saw that Song Li was still a little puzzled, so he patiently explained: "My son is not only making clothes, but also making a brand, just like what Granny Cao's meatloaf used to be, whoever can make meatloaf, why should I go to her house to eat, the price of her family is more expensive than elsewhere, delicious is of course one thing, the key is that this brand has been created, and my son is now also going to make a ready-to-wear brand, in the future, the Ming Dynasty will be in the north and south, as long as you wear clothes, the first thing to think of is the goods of our Song family, and our family has made a lot of money. The women in the guard house also make a small amount of money, and you can still be a good person. ”
Song Hu has been eating meat with his head bored, and he also said at this time: "Our son doesn't say anything else, except for going into battle to fight and making money, you don't have to worry about anything, he said that if he can make money, he will definitely be able to earn it, you can help him find some mother-in-law who is idle at home!" ”
"That being the case, the lady will help you find some good needlework and a mother-in-law, and take advantage of the fact that the business is opened!" The father and son both looked like they were convincing, and Song Li was relieved, and after thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "Have you thought about this brand?" It's called Song Kee Garment Shop? ”
"No, there are too many people with the surname Song in the world, in case another person surnamed Song sees that our family is making money and makes such a brand, wouldn't there even be a lawsuit." Song Qing thought for a while, and blurted out: "We Xuzhou people all grew up singing the song of the great wind, simply call the big wind card, simple and easy to remember, and it is easy to explain to others, I asked them to draw a few drawings out, pick one as the emblem of our shop, if anyone imitates it in the future, the son will raise the soldier out of the army to destroy him!" ”
Hearing the last sentence, Song Li suddenly raised his eyebrows and said: "Take a look, after saying a few words, you have to fight and kill, when will you have a daughter-in-law, have another son, and let your mother and me rest assured!" ”
I have a son together, can you rest assured that I will kill people and set fires?
Song Qing scolded in his heart, and pretended to be a good son on his face, hurriedly ate, accompanied his parents to say a few words of homely things, and then went back to his room.
After lunch the next day, Xue Wu and Zhou Ling came to the door and said that the blacksmiths had all been assembled, the house was ready-made, the stove was ready, and the settling-in allowance had also been sent in the morning.
Of course, Song Qing wants to take a look at such a big thing, in addition to how to kill Yang Fang, he is most concerned about the matter of this blacksmith battalion, at present, cannons and the like can't be counted on, Xuzhou Wei itself does not have this thing, he plans to find a way, see if he can get a waste cannon from Nanzhili, and then find a way to imitate it, but there is basically no problem with the firecracker, many of the craftsmen brought back from the capital will make firecracker, the only thing to worry about is the quality problem.
The quality is not a joke, after having a wealth of experience in the capital, Song Qing has a deep understanding of the double-edged sword attributes of this thing, especially in the case of unqualified quality, the possibility of the double-edged sword hurting himself is far greater than hurting the enemy, and the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who had been sympathized with by him at that time were said to have died a lot, and they naturally deserved to be shot without taking out the tong, but those who did it all according to the rules, and died in the explosion incident after the worst, there is really no place to shout.
Therefore, Song Qing deliberately found Xuzhouwei's arsenal, asked for a batch of axes to come out, set up a blacksmith battalion supervision team, and also required that each weapon be engraved with his own special mark when making it.
In fact, the blacksmith battalion has been barely operating before, and this time it has brought back a lot of blacksmiths, and it is estimated that the efficiency can be much faster, at least the work of the first batch of twenty firecrackers is estimated to be completed in a few days, Song Qing is very much looking forward to this, and the supervision team with the axe is also looking forward to this.
Coming to the legendary blacksmith camp, Song Qing suddenly found a feeling of the chief inspecting the scientific research studio, and the arched hand was never put down, and the blacksmiths were also very moved by the kindness of this big official, and a few young people even had red eyes, and after a big turn, they were arranged to drink tea in a quiet room, and they were still kind and kind-eyed, and the Song chief, who looked like a brother next door, had changed his square face, and said to the leader of the axe team: "Keep an eye on these people, dare to cut corners, and do all military law!" ”
The leader was puzzled: "My lord, isn't it the most unqualified person who has tried the firearm to engage in military law?" ”
"You know a fart, this is called prevention before it happens!" Song Qing reprimanded without hesitation: "If you can find out in advance, why should you wait for something to find out?" You are responsible for the compensation for wasting Lao Tzu's iron, right? (To be continued......)
PS: Everyone voted for the monthly ticket too enthusiastically, the name was brushed off, and I had no place to find out who it was, so I had to thank the group here, I really bowed to you, and I wish you all a happy Dragon Boat Festival!
