"Yutai County is scared, originally these people were still counting on the east wind of Liaojiao to annex the land and the population to fatten themselves, but they didn't expect that the people couldn't get money and food, and the government would take them.

"It's no wonder, there is no big power in the county, these people are just a plate of loose sand in front of the government, no wonder they can't hold on."

A simple answer, everyone understood what was going on, Ji Xiang was there for a while, but said: "Big brother, it's better to let all the people in Xuzhou kill again, the time given to them today is short, if the time is enough, these pursuers will definitely be killed by Yu Jing, and the strength of this Yanzhou Mansion will be weaker at that time, let's take the opportunity to take it."

Zhao Jin shook his head with a smile, looked at the expressions of Chen Huang, Ji Xiang and Liu Yong, lowered his voice and added: "Don't let them kill them all, and I will leave Xu Hongru without killing, it's a truth, it's not early, let's rest early."

The three partners were stunned, and then they thought about it, and after thinking for a long time, Chen Huang first stood up and said in a muffled voice: "What do you think, just follow along, I'll go to the camp for a walk." ”

Liu Yong and Ji Xiang glanced at each other, both shook their heads, and also stood up and followed towards the camp.

Early the next morning, Zhao Jin took the team to embark on the return journey, and all the people and horses who came to meet saw Zhao Jin's generosity, according to the number of people who came here, each team got more or less horses, and the saddle bridle harness of these horses is complete, the price of a war horse with complete horse harness is not low, and the people from all walks of life who came to meet can get together only sixty people who can hang the harness, such a distribution naturally makes them feel heavy, this is not counting those who have been captured, these have additional rewards, The spoils of war also belong to individuals, and everyone from all walks of life feels that they are all happy, and they all feel that this time is not in vain.

"Such an action is really too costly, and we must be cautious and cautious in the future." People from all walks of life felt that Zhao Jin was generous, but Zhao Jin and his partners felt that the cost was too great

"So it's best to be a foot soldier, the cost of this horse is as high as six people and ten people, this time we hurriedly retreated, almost throwing the cost of a group family for a year, and the family is not so expensive." Liu Yong's accounts were carefully calculated.

However, Liu Yong felt that something was wrong after saying this, so he coughed a few times and peeked at Mu Shulan, who just smiled and shook her head, saying that she didn't have to take it to heart.

Zhao Jin smiled, and after riding forward for a while, he spoke: "This time saving Xiaolan back is the main reason, and letting all the forces on the side of Yanzhou Mansion know that we are powerful is also a reason, for so many years, we have been abiding by the rules but the provincial border, so that many people here are carried away, kill Lulu Dao once, so that they dare not mess around, so that we can have a reason to enter Shandong."

After the team entered Xuzhou, it was a lot easier, the tired and poor cavalry and horses stayed directly in the first brigade and the regimental training station and the manor to rest, Zhao Jin left more than 100 horsemen around him is enough, the next road is still a little rushed, because you can't cross the river at the ferry near Hejiazhuang, the Yellow River is about to freeze, but the downstream is not frozen tightly, Zhao Jin's team can only cross the river from Xuzhou and Henan Guide Mansion adjacent to the river.

Anyway, when I returned, I had to stop at the Xu family in Jingshan, after all, this was Zhao Jin's Yue family, and I always had to show some closeness, but this time I took Mu Shulan with her, and I was a little uncomfortable.

But the reason for the discomfort is not in Mu Shulan, Xu Zhenzhen's father Xu Benrong is a self-proclaimed celebrity, he likes poetry and books, seeking pleasure, and can't deal with martial artists like Zhao Jin, and Xu Housheng is too honest, he has heard about his brother-in-law's deeds, and he is always trembling in front of Zhao Jin, and he doesn't even dare to raise his head, as for Mu Shulan's side, no one notices.

"Uncle, you have also seen it, the huge Xu family, if it is not supported by my hard-working niece, either these greedy and insufficient Xu family members inside will be corrupted, or they will be swallowed by the tigers outside." At present, Xu Bende is in charge of the Xu family, and although Xu Zhenzhen's uncle is also very mediocre, he is still working hard.

However, Xu Bende came to Zhao Jin not to sigh, but to complain for another time: "Uncle, can you relax the construction of this bird gun, even if you build a bird gun with your heart, it is enough for two skilled masters to be busy for twenty days, but you require each one to be launched, if there is a mistake, you will be held accountable for the sin of building and inspecting the goods, they are all afraid of killing their heads, and they dare not find anyone to do it, so go on, don't delay the important things on your side, uncle." ”

Zhao Jin smiled and shook his head, but he didn't give an inch in his words: "If a bird gun can't be hit or explodes at a critical time, it may kill my family, and the person who built this bird gun will become a murderer, shouldn't I settle accounts with this murderer?" ”

Xu Bende naturally couldn't get angry in front of Zhao Jin, but continued with a smile: "Uncle, you are right, maybe the people who go to work to build the bird gun are all skilled craftsmen in our Xu family's workshop. ”

In Zhao Jin's former memory, these people are the so-called technical bones, although they are also hired to work, but the status is much higher, and they can't be too hard, Zhao Jin groaned and said: "Let them engrave their names, and for each shot they make, I will give one or two pieces of silver according to the name, and I will arrange for someone to put it when they take the name." ”

When he said this, Xu Bende was taken aback, and waved his hand again and again and said: "Why is my uncle like this, it's my own business to build a bird gun for you, just add some wages to them, how can you give so much, this, this, fast hands and feet, the annual salary is equal to more than three times."

Zhao Jin shook his head, Xu Bende was also thinking about Zhao Ziying, but he couldn't figure out the joint, Zhao Jin wanted a weapon of good quality, and Xu Bende was to save money, but he didn't expect that this two pieces of silver were really not worth mentioning compared to the improvement brought by this bird gun to Zhao Ziying, Zhao Jin smiled and asked again: "According to my method, the blacksmiths will not be reluctant to write names, right?"

"Of course I'm willing to write, uncle, if you're willing to give more, I'm afraid they'll write the names of the apprentices, but it's still too expensive." It's no wonder that Xu Zhenzhen uses Xu Bende as a housekeeper, and this idea of saving money and settling accounts is indeed good.

"This silver will be specially released by a special person from Yunshan Bank, so the Xu family should not interfere." Zhao Jin ignored Xu Bende's emotion, and said the arrangement by himself, Xu Bende naturally had no objection to this.

Give incentives to craftsmen, make them feel that it is profitable to do this, set up a reward and punishment mechanism, and if they do a good job, they will be held accountable if they don't do well, so that these craftsmen of the Xu family can do their best to build bird guns, Zhao Jin heard from Dong Bingfeng that I don't know how many allusions to the use of firearms by officials and soldiers, what can't be far, it can't be beaten, and it will explode when it's close, etc., etc., the reason for this is nothing more than that the craftsmen who make firearms are like slaves, and they don't do hard labor without pay, and there is no reward for doing a good job, and no one will be held accountable if they do it badly. The superintendent of the production has to constantly deduct materials, and also instruct craftsmen to do private work, in such a situation, naturally there will be no good weapons to create.

The Xu family gives the craftsman a salary, but it avoids many drawbacks of the official workshop, but the blacksmiths are the same wages for building other and building birds, so they are naturally unwilling to work hard, and they are not willing to take responsibility, but each bird gun can get one or two silver, this extra reward is extremely attractive, the skilled blacksmith is ten taels of silver a year, and this bird gun gets one-tenth of his annual income, and it is not difficult to build twenty rods this year, which is equal to doubling the annual income, and there is the temptation of such a rich income, Naturally, they will work hard to build it, and they are naturally not afraid of being held accountable for carving their names on the bird's gun.

But what Xu Bende didn't know was that Zhao Jin was not willing to spend this silver, although the silver was not much, but the bird gun was not the firearm that Zhao Jin wanted, but the Songjiang Yu family was looking for a standard Western firearm that had not been very smooth, and he could only reluctantly use the bird gun first, Zhao Jin also knew that the Yu family was not delaying and pushing, and now the sea situation is changing, several sea main dragon heads are connected to each other, and the attack is non-stop, and even the price of foreign goods from the Wa Kingdom and the Francophone is soaring, and this Western firearm is really difficult to find.

Zhao Jin also had the idea of researching and modifying the short firecracker, but after careful dismantling, it was revealed that the structure of the short firearm seemed to be different from that of the long firecracker, so he broke off this idea, so as not to go far on the wrong road and end up laborious and costly.

The Xu family was extremely attentive to Zhao Jin's arrival, this time in Shandong, the armor and weapons of the Zhao Ziying team were damaged, Xu Bende persuaded Zhao Jin to leave the damaged armor, and then send it to Hejiazhuang after repairing.

"The weapon is placed on your side, and the armor must be repaired in Hejiazhuang, you report a list of craftsmen who have built this armor to Xiao Yong, these people will go to Hejiazhuang, and the style and drawings of this armor cannot be retained." Zhao Jin said very carefully, and Xu Bende hurriedly agreed.

Zhao Jin designed and manufactured this armor, compared to the armor, chain mail and cotton armor of this era, whether it is protective or lightweight, if this kind of military weapon is learned by others, it will definitely be a big trouble, the coal mine iron yard here of the Xu family is really not rigorous, but it is just a larger workshop, Zhao Jin does not want to arrange Yunshan Xing to take over all at present, Yunshan Xing has done his best to open branches everywhere, the Xu family's stall is too big, it must be difficult to take over, and it is good to keep it as it is for the time being.
