344 Clusters of arrows
Ordnance Bureau Workshop.
Just do it, Lu Zhi and Ambassador You, the two leaders of the Bureau, plus a resident Lu Jian sent down from above, formed the leadership of a temporary casting arrow cluster team, and the team members are naturally all the craftsmen of the Ordnance Bureau.
Ambassador You is not obedient to Lu Zhiyan like Lu Jian, and he will still raise questions when he has questions, "Well, Deputy Envoy Lu, why do you want to form such a group?" ”
Lu Zhi not only suggested the establishment of a group, but also what kind of pledge meeting should be held.
Ambassador You probably understands the role of the oath, and every time before the big war, the imperial court will also make one to boost morale.
But the group or something, it's not necessary at all.
"For the water...... Presentation level? Ambassador You, don't you think this looks more professional? Lu Zhi's answer was a little stumbling, but in fact, he didn't know the specific reason.
This is a practice before he crosses over, whether it is a company or a government department, once there is a project, they like to do a group or something.
Everyone is doing this, it should have some effect, Lu Zhi thought about it, and inherited the tradition of "project team".
Specialized? …… Ambassador You's professional level is average, thinking that this is some kind of quirk of a good craftsman, so he simply doesn't care.
Well, I can't control the point.
In fact, there is a closed loop of rights in this, in terms of official positions, Lu Jian is in charge of Ambassador You, Ambassador You is in charge of Lu Zhi, and then Lu Jian obeys what Lu Zhi says.
After all, Ambassador You actually doesn't have much right to speak.
…………
“…… This concludes the pledge meeting. Lu Zhi set up a small podium and went up to fool around, but the reaction of the craftsmen was always not big, not salty or light.
Seeing that the effect was not good, Lu Zhi had another plan, "Oh, by the way, if this mission is completed well, I will go to Yang Shangshu to apply for a bonus." ”
For fear that the craftsmen would not understand, Lu Zhi explained, "This bonus is silver, wages, apply for it when the time comes, and give everyone more wages." ”
As soon as they heard about the overpayment, the eyes of the craftsmen finally changed, and the atmosphere became warm.
"How much can you give?" Some craftsmen have spoken out to everyone.
Lu Zhi smiled slightly, "Then it depends on your performance, the more you work and the more you get, the better you do, the more points you get." ”
"That's fine, yes, I just want to know how much?"
It's not easy to fool, Lu Zhi stretched out a finger, "One tael of silver, at least one tael." ”
One or two pieces of silver, the craftsmen calculated, this time the task of casting arrow clusters will not be short, at least three months, three months more than one or two silver, not less.
After a while, the whole workshop burst into applause, and there was finally some atmosphere.
"Okay~~~" Lu Zhi raised his hands and pressed down, "At least one or two are destined to die, but if anyone makes a big mistake and delays work, this extra salary will not count." ”
"That's nature." "What Deputy Envoy Lu said makes sense." "√, we all support it."
Lu Zhi pursed his lips and secretly slandered, what ideal? What character? What is allegiance to the nation? It's all fucking bullshit, and there's no silver to make it with.
These craftsmen are really realistic, and they have a fight with him.
…………
Ambassador You blinked his eyes, and he felt like he was being hollowed out, the key is that it's only been a few days?
"Borrow a step to speak." Ambassador You couldn't help but pull Lu Jian aside, "Your fourth child is really amazing, I always feel that there seems to be no difference between the two of us here!" ”
"Why do I sound sour? Vinegar into essence? Lu Jian's strong arm clamped Ambassador You's shoulder, "Those who can work harder, besides, as far as the relationship between the two of us is concerned, are you still worried about stealing credit?" ”
"What do you think you are talking about? The starting point of your fourth child is as high as my end point, what is there for me to be sour? ”
Ambassador You backhanded Lu Jian and tried to compete with his strength, but Lu Jian was a blacksmith with a sledgehammer, so this move was a bit overwhelming.
This ambassador is not only a handicraft dish, but also a dish.
"The end?" Lu Jian peeked at his little ancestor, and took a few steps to the side with Ambassador You, "Don't underestimate yourself, it's too early to say the end now."
If you look at me, I'm inpatient enough, and I may not be able to go up in the future. ”
Ambassador You: "??! ”
What do you mean? What does that mean? Do I have a chance to go up as well? Yu Langzhong?
"Hey, hey, hey~~~ yes." Lu Jian and Ambassador You looked at each other and smiled.
…………
"Deputy Envoy Lu, look at it." The one who spoke was a master of the Ordnance Bureau who cast arrow clusters, and this person was introduced to Lu Zhi by Lu Jian.
"Our Dayue's arrow clusters have various shapes, including this three-winged, double-winged, triangular and quadrangular ......, double-winged and double-tailed, three-winged and three-tailed."
There are samples, and Lu Zhi looked at them one by one, which was an eye-opener.
One thing to say, although he has also built arrow clusters in Xuanwu City, compared with the old master, his knowledge is still short, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
"What about poison arrows? Have it? "Whether it was when he was in Xuanwu City, or when he came to the capital for so long, Lu Zhi had never seen a poisoned arrow.
As for the method of smearing feces and urine, it is just his brainstorming, just think about it, there are unspoken rules on the battlefield, so it may not be allowed to be used.
"Yes! Some! The old master searched for a pile of arrow cluster samples, and finally handed Lu Zhi a "small dagger".
"Deputy Envoy Lu, please see, a poisonous trough is cast on this arrow cluster, and the poisonous powder is applied to the trough, which can increase the lethality." The old master pointed to the poison trough and showed it to Lu Zhi, this thing really looks like a dagger, and the so-called poison trough and the blood trough are also very close.
"Hey, this cluster of arrows doesn't feel very useful." It's better to smear feces and urine, Lu Zhi added in his heart.
"Deputy Envoy Lu Gaojian, it's really not very easy to use." The old master seemed to be a little embarrassed and regretful, "Hey, in fact, there is no need in the army." ”
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Zhi was really interested in this poisoned arrow, the old master wouldn't even want to say any more.
Poison arrows, because of the lack of poison sources, do not have the conditions for large-scale equipment.
You know, in an ancient environment like Da Viet, poison was not as easy to obtain as it is in modern times, and it was mainly collected from nature.
This includes things like ores, poisonous insects, poisonous weeds, etc.
These raw materials are already very scarce, and it is not easy to get some of them, let alone make them into poisons.
Another important point is that there are relatively few people who know how to make drugs.
As soon as these objective conditions are superimposed, the difficulty of making a batch of poisoned arrows can be imagined.
Lu Zhi listened carefully, and exclaimed from time to time, the old man, you have to hold it.
But it's not a loss, these are the master's lifetime experience, and they are still worth learning.
