Li Xiang looked at Liu Susu, who was dressed in plain clothes and jumping around, so as not to hold back and pull her long hair. "The cost is not a problem, the main thing that is used is wood, linen and paper, and the village can produce it itself.

"However, there are more chickens, ducks and goose feathers used for gloves and shoes, and they need to be purchased from Xunyang Mansion. Twenty or thirty pounds is not heavy, just exercise and exercise, and there will be heavier ones in the future. Li Xiang explained, and then the faces of the teenagers collapsed.

Li Xiang summoned craftsmen to develop this set of cold-proof clothing, which is very well protected, with its own characteristics on the upper and lower bodies, and the materials used are basically cottages and common materials around.

There is a hat-shaped helmet with bamboo on both sides, cardboard in the middle, fastened to the jaw with strips of cloth, and the "Deluxe Edition" is also filled with chicken, duck and goose feathers.

The trousers have poor protection, and the knees are filled with chicken, duck, goose feathers and linen, which protects the joints and does not affect movement like cardboard.

Cold-proof clothing or protective clothing is generally plain, because undyed linen is the cheapest, and it can also be said to be convenient for winter camouflage. The upper body vest of the cold-proof suit, its protective power is equivalent to paper armor, and Liu Susu pulled a 40-kilogram bow at a distance of 100 meters, just enough to penetrate.

Li Xiang has made major changes to the training of young men and girls in the village, and teenagers at different stages need to receive different training. Lest someone be out of breath while others are just warming up.

Specifically, children between the ages of eight and 10 undergo basic physical training, young people under the age of 12 or who are relatively thin strengthen their physical training queues, teenagers over the age of 12 undergo complete training, and those over the age of 15 need to practice weapons and battle formations.

Li Xiang originally wanted to increase the amount of training, but when he saw that the young man of this era had a stronger physique and was more able to endure hardships, he raised his standards.

Li Xiang used technology to invest in the workshops of Carpenter, Lei Chenglei Blacksmith and He Lishi He Mingjiang, and from there he ordered a batch of simple training equipment, and formulated detailed training standards and gradually enhanced training plans. Combined with the experience of playing against Zhao Scarzi, Li Xiang adjusted the arms of the youth battalion.

The youth battalion is divided into sword and shield hands and pikemen, the sword and shield hand detachment is led by Xiong Chengwu, the pikeman detachment is led by Yang Jianchuan, and several young people who are very talented in learning, such as Xiong Chengwen, are engaged in cultural further education.

Gradually, the villagers discovered that Mengxue and the youth camp were no longer just a place to take care of their children, and that the size and strength of these young men were increasing day by day. So although everyone is very greedy for the wealth that Li Xiang has, their attitude towards Li Xiang is becoming more and more respectful.

Based on his usual training, confrontation with Zhao Scarzi, and experience learned from the high-level of the Zhai soldiers, Li Xiang customized the weapons of the youth battalion.

There are two types of spears, 2.3 meters and 3 meters, and thanks to the steady production of iron ore, the spears are equipped with easy-to-manufacture triangular iron thorns. It is characterized by being lightweight and sharp, simple to use, and has an extremely deep wound that is difficult to suture.

The big shield is a 45*100 cm bamboo and wood shield, and the protective effect is average.

A single knife according to the use habits of the soldiers to play more than a dozen knife samples, choose the most suitable one to put into manufacturing, * design Li Xiang has not yet come out.

In terms of weapon development, Li Xiang mainly improved the long spear, which has a two-way handguard to prevent slipping up and down, making it easier to use. The shield has a double handguard with a leather ring and an iron ring, and the single knife equipped with the sword and shield hand has two iron gauntlets to firmly hold the palm.

The cost of handguards is very high, but Li Xiang insisted on adding them, because Li Xiang found that handguards made the weapon less demanding on the soldiers, and could form combat power faster. Coupled with full-body protective clothing and bamboo and wood helmets, Li Xiang fully armed his youth battalion members.

It is worth mentioning that several craftsmen, including Li Xiang and Zeng Carpenter, were working on a straight bow, similar to the monolithic bow before the Qin and Han dynasties in China, making full use of mountainous materials to reduce costs.

In order to form combat power as soon as possible after equipping the bow and arrow, Li Xiang has begun targeted training, and dumbbells, pull-ups and pulley stones have been added to the training syllabus. The pulley stone is Li Xiang's proud work, that is, the wooden pulley hangs a stone, and the bow model is held with both hands to move back to simulate drawing the bow.

Not long ago, Liu Yuan's troops were ambushed by Zhao Scarzi, and more than a dozen soldiers were killed and wounded, which aggravated Li Xiang's sense of worry. Arm! Only by mastering a reliable weapon can you protect yourself, the safety of Susu and your students.

Maybe it's because Li Xiang is very lonely in this time and space, Li Xiang never wants to put his safety in the hands of others, even if he admires Liu Zhai very much......

I don't know when I will have the power to protect myself, Li Xiang thought depressedly. At this time, a soldier came to inform that the lord of Liu Zhai asked the high-level officials to go over to discuss the matter, and Li Xiang thought that it should be Liu Yuan's ambush.

"This revenge must be avenged, our brother can't die in vain, if you want me to say let's just kill Zhao Scar's old village!" Liu Yuan was furious, and his injured arm was fixed by strips of cloth. This time, a small leader was killed, causing an uproar in Mingyue Village, and Liu Yuan felt that his face was lost.

Xiong Dachun suppressed his emotions and put forward his own opinions. "The place of Hutou Cliff is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the official army has been defeated several times in encirclement and suppression, otherwise Zhao Scar would not be so rampant. If you can't fight it, it's not to say that even if you can beat it, how many brothers will have to die? ”

"This matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, and Zhao Scar must be solved, but it must be planned carefully." Liu Chengdong expressed his opinion and turned his head to look at Li Xiang. "Sure enough, there are some skills, and the accounts of the cottage are handled very clearly. That* is easy to use, but it's best not to use it all, I'm only going to reload half of the soldier's spear. By the way, how about the protective clothing you made, can you equip each soldier with a set before winter? ”

Hearing the owner of the village talk about weapons, everyone turned their heads to stare at Li Xiang.

After Li Xiang took charge of Mengxue, he put forward a lot of strange ideas. Some are very useful, such as public baths and cafeterias, as well as large bamboo and linen shields with acceptable protection. But there are also things that the villagers can't stand it, such as the pig hair toothbrush, which smells fishy.

Hearing that Master Li had a new gadget, everyone was very interested, but Lao Huang's eyes flashed with jealousy.

I went, and actually carried out a surprise attack, Li Xiang wanted to complain about this future father-in-law. "The owner of the village, the materials of the protective clothing are mainly paper, linen, bamboo and wood chips and poultry feathers, as long as a certain remuneration is given, the big girls and little daughters-in-law in our village can be made, and there is no problem in production." Li Xiang euphemistically raised the issue of remuneration, and he must give reasonable remuneration to craftsmen and villagers, so as to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for production.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xiang decided to be honest, after all, he couldn't hide it. "In terms of cold resistance and bow and arrow resistance, it can only be said that it is average, after all, it is not fur and iron armor."

Hearing Li Xiang say this, everyone suddenly didn't have much interest, but Liu Zhai still announced that he would try 50 sets.

Li wanted to strike while the iron was hot, and proposed to set up a craftsman household camp to manage the paper mill, iron ore and winter clothes workshop. Mainly responsible for the production of weapons and the size of the Mingyue Village, led by Liu Susu, naturally also approved.

Liu Susu, who was only present, was very puzzled, and didn't know what the hell Li Xiang was doing. Later, Liu Yidao inquired about various matters in the village, made some adjustments, and then disbanded everyone, leaving only Liu Yuan, Liu Sheng and Xiong Dachun to discuss secrets.

"Zhao Scar's guy is getting more and more presumptuous, but he should have raised winter supplies at this time in the past. Engaging in a sneak attack at this time, he's crazy, isn't it? Although Liu Yuan has a very angry temper, he also has some brains, and he can't figure out how Zhao Scar suddenly went crazy.

"Our dark line has reported some information, Huang Liren supported Zhao Scar with a certain amount of materials, the amount is unknown, but it is said that there is a crossbow." Listening to Liu Chengliang, who was in charge of intelligence, Zhao Scar had a crossbow, Liu Yuan and Liu Sheng were taken aback, and Xiong Dachun also raised his eyebrows slightly.

The crossbow is an equipment only available to elite officers and soldiers, and it is strictly forbidden for the people to hold it, how could the Huang family spend such a large amount of money?

Whether to fight or not, when to fight, or the owner of the village spoke, "Mr. Wang is going home to save his relatives, this is the best opportunity for us to express our feelings to Li Xiang and wash away our grievances. Liu Chengdong made a decision, and several masters echoed it.

Mr. Wang refers to the world-famous Confucian Wang Qi, and Li Xiang refers to Li Gang, who is fighting against Cai Jing, who has a reputation as a "virtuous minister" in Qingliu and the people. Of course, the "people" here of course refers to the gentry class, and has nothing to do with the common people.

Wang Qi and Li Gang have a good personal relationship, and they have great prestige in officialdom and among the people. The biggest wish of the top management of Mingyuezhai is to accept Zhao'an, clear up their grievances and return to the official army, and have the opportunity to "hijack" Wang Qi by chance.
