Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
It involves the fundamental interests of each village, and each village can only be described as scrambling. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter)
The strong men themselves get benefits, and the village itself also has benefits, and there are even rumors, saying that if there is a cottage with manpower, a plaque will be sent, and the cottage with a plaque will be given a lot of preferential treatment by the Hou Mansion in the future, not only to buy salt with a better texture, but even to buy timber in the future will try to give some favorable conditions.
Such a good thing cannot be found with a lantern.
In fact, the mountain people gradually have a good impression of this Luzhou Hou Mansion, although the Luzhou Hou did similar to Liu Jian before, but this Hou Ye Shi gave them a chance to eat after all, the resources in the mountains are limited after all, everyone cultivates so many acres of thin fields in spring and summer, usually organizes people to hunt, on the surface it is self-sufficient, but because of the low price of mountain goods, and the necessities of life they need are expensive, many cottages hard-earned mountain goods, Even after a month, I can only barely exchange for some living needs.
Under such circumstances, the life of the mountain people can be imagined.
On the Hao family's side, on the surface, the price system of the Liu family is continued, but on the other hand, it has opened up financial resources for the mountain people, such as the purchase of wood and medicinal materials, although the price is not high, but it is enough for the mountain people, and with more income, everyone's life has naturally improved a lot.
Nowadays, the mountain people of each village have been attached to the Hao family, and the Hao family has become their food and clothing parents, although this is a little ridiculous on the surface, the Hao family is more like a vampire attached to them, but compared to the Liu family, it is still much kinder.
Two days later, the strong men of each village set off with their bags on their backs, but what they didn't expect was that it was not so easy to serve the Hao family.
Because there are more than 500 strong men who have gone down the mountain, these are still carefully selected, but Wu Xiong's side obviously does not want as many people as they want. Instead, they were specially asked to take the school exam, measure their height and weight, see if they had any diseases, and even wrote on the wall for the strong men to look at it from a distance to test their eyesight.
In the end, only 275 people were selected, and it was a pity that there were no strong men who were shortlisted. After all, young people don't want to be confined to the mountains forever, and go to logging, hunting, and farming every day, and although they know that there are many unpredictable 'dangers' in the outside world, they still want to go out and have a good time.
As for the selected people, they were taken by Wu Xiong to the Hou Mansion, and several people who looked like hundreds of households appeared, and then began to distribute clothes to them.
These clothes are naturally different from the firecrackers. The Torch Corps are dressed in black suits and are covered with a yellow pro-army fish suit. As for their clothes, they are blue cloth shirts, which are also vigorously dressed, and there are special leggings on their legs, and a cloth wrist on their wrists.
The most striking thing is the belt around the waist, which is very wide. It is tied around the waist to make people look particularly handsome.
Subsequently, the hundreds of households began to lead the team to practice, and the method of training was similar to that of the fire gun team at first, mostly running, standing in line, etc., which was not unusual.
As for the workshops, the manufacture of ironwork has been suspended, and several skilled craftsmen have already begun to make molds, apparently intending to make something new. The foremen were holding the drawings and constantly comparing the drawings with the molds, and they all knew that although Lord Hao liked to make some strange things, this master was obviously also a half-ass, and there were many mistakes in the sketches, according to past experience. Even if you make something out according to a sketch, the end result is just scrap.
However, with the help of Lord Hao's 'aura', these highly skilled craftsmen have become familiar with the refinement of sketches, and they will improve them according to Hao Fenglou's intentions. Until mass production is possible.
After the sample is produced, there will be a special craftsman to carry out the actual yàn and comparison, and after several modifications, finally a large number of productions will be carried out.
This process seems easy, but in fact it is the most labor-intensive, not all 'inspiration' can meet the current process, since it can not be satisfied, it is necessary to find other ways to compromise, as for the improvement is even more difficult, every small progress needs to take many painstaking efforts.
There have been several quarrels in the No. 1 Iron Workshop of the Hou Mansion, most of which are disputes caused by the disagreement between the craftsmen, and everyone has become accustomed to this, and quarrels have become a common thing in the No. 1 Iron Workshop.
In the end, several plans were determined and trial-produced respectively.
However, the newly built No. 3 Iron Mill was not controversial at this time, because their task now was very simple - to forge a fire.
In the Purple Mountain, the new artillery technology has been perfected, and they don't need to improve it at the moment, the only thing to do is to try to produce seven or eight of the latest guns in this limited time.
The time is quite enough, so everyone is not in a hurry, and there is inevitably talk and laughter after casting. However, there are also differences, and the Shenwu Creation Bureau will take out some drawings on time and order people to send them quickly, such as some improvements in artillery.
In recent months, the Shenwu Bureau has improved the rifling, after the new rifling application, according to the saying that the range of about fifteen zhang can be increased, and the accuracy has indeed improved a lot, but the problem has come out again, the new process needs new milling cutters and new tools, if this latest technology is used, it may delay the output, and finally after several discussions, it was decided to use the old method, one to stabilize the dìng, and the other to try to increase the output.
The workshops of the entire Hou Mansion gathered near a river not far away, at this time the sky above the simple workshop was already thick smoke, and a pot of molten iron was produced in the blast furnace, and the craftsmen either made molds, poured molten iron into the molds, or took milling cutters and files for final processing, which was very lively.
However, a group of stonemasons are also in a hurry, and the things they make are called 'green alum', which is called sulfuric acid in later generations, which is highly corrosive and is definitely a murderous weapon; at this time, green alum is also a necessary product for hooligans, and it is often recorded in many ancient books that thieves take green alum and corrode the rich man's house into a hole, and then enter the house to steal.
As for the manufacture of alum, it is actually easy, the process is ready-made, and it can be made with sulfur and pyrite. The materials were insufficient, so they bought from the mountain people, and they asked for as many as they wanted.
Everyone had a premonition that something big was about to happen, because whether it was Lord Hao or Wu Xiong, as well as several foremen and hundreds of households, they were all extremely nervous, so that these craftsmen did not dare to take it lightly, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest day and night.

A few days later, the military horses from Luzhou have arrived, and Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, took the soldiers and horses out of Langshan Pass, waving the flag, and tens of thousands of military horses meandered for several miles, marching towards Shenglong.
Zhu Di and Hao Fenglou have arrived at Langshan Pass with the men and horses, standing on the pass, Zhu Di has his hands behind his back, watching the military horse leave from a distance, and his eyes can't help but be a little moist.
He rubbed his eyes and sighed, "Go to the Guanlou, here...... The wind was so strong that it made my eyes uncomfortable......"
Hao Fenglou did not expose Zhu Di's 'lie', nodded his head, and followed Zhu Di into the customs building.
Zhu Di sat on the chair, although it was winter, but the weather here was not cold, Zhu Di was still only wearing a long coat, after drinking a sip of hot tea, his feelings gradually stabilized, and said, "Hao Fenglou, what are you thinking about just now?"
Hao Fenglou said: "His Royal Highness King Zhao is gone, and the strategy of the father and emperor will not be able to turn back, in order for everyone to survive, the sons must protect the safety of the father and the emperor and guard this Langshan Pass." ”
Zhu Di smiled faintly and said: "Yes, I don't know if my decision is right or wrong, but I believe in you, and I believe that Sui'er will not disappoint me, and will definitely bring back on time with men and horses." I also believe in you, and I believe that you and your firecrackers will guard this pass and will not let the rebels step further. ”
Zhu Di put down the teacup, refreshed a little spirit, and then continued: "Therefore, I believe that in this battle, I will undoubtedly win, and the time has come to settle accounts. The reason why I took this risk was to let people know that there were no traitors in the Ming Dynasty, and even if there were, then the next moment they would be in a different place. ”
Hao Fenglou can understand Zhu Di's intentions, and the reason why Zhu Di made this choice is not only a military consideration, but also a political one. If you can't fight the battle, but let these rebels wreak havoc in Annam, even if the imperial court regroups the army, Xu Tu invades and suppresses, and after a year or two, they will be wiped out, and it may not be able to deter those who plot against it. The only way is to react immediately and eradicate them with a thunderous force, so that people can understand that rebellion is a dead end, and there is no escape.
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but sigh faintly, as if he had some feelings, and said: "What my father said is very true, the affairs of the world, people's hearts are fundamental after all, and the sons can now understand the thoughts of their father, if they don't kill all these traitors, the Ming Dynasty will never have peace." ”
