In fact, there is another way, and that is to go by sea.

Pull the goods from the south and go directly to Liaodong Town, without passing through the checkpoints along the way.

However, there is no hope in the short term, and the sea route requires a sea vessel and an experienced crew.

Although he sent a group of people south, the main reason was to let them find a way to join a sea force, learn some sea navigation skills, and understand the distribution of forces on the sea.

I don't know when I want to have my own sea power and sea fleet.

"Steward He, you start to form a caravan first, let's run around the mainland first, and then go to Saiwai next year to see the situation."

He Chengdao: "Yes, third master, I have already gone to see the carriages, these modified carriages are indeed much stronger than the previous ones, I will start to form a caravan when I go back." ”

"Steward He, when choosing a coachman, don't choose the old and frail, only choose those young people who are strong and strong, and take the time to let Master Zhang help you choose and practice, so that they can have some combat strength, so that you can go out safer."

He Cheng hurriedly agreed, which would be safer for him, so he naturally readily agreed.

After the meeting ended, it was also noon, and everyone had a meal together.

After a little rest, I followed the master who fired the glass and went to the kiln.

I looked at the glass they had newly made.

The newly made glass still did not meet its own requirements.

It's not transparent at all, it's only transparent, just like that kind of frosted glass, and frosted glass.

However, this kind of glass is also much stronger than window paper.

Tell them to produce a batch of these glasses, and to replace the windows in the house with a bright and bright light.

Then, in the sunny place on the south side of the hillside, build a vegetable greenhouse, and grow some out-of-season vegetables, even if you don't sell them, you can eat them yourself.

In the winter of this era, there are too few fresh vegetables.

Although he has money to eat meat, he is not tired of letting you eat meat every day.

Some large families also build greenhouses, mainly to place flowers.

Mother Jia built a big flower house in Rongguo Mansion, which was very warm inside, and a banquet was usually set up in it in winter.

There are also some minds that have the flexibility to grow some vegetables, but the results are not good.

The main reason is that there is no light source, although this batch of glass is opaque, but the light can penetrate in, as the roof of the greenhouse, there should be no problem.

Now start building, when everything is ready, plant some vegetables and fruits, and when it is almost the New Year, you will be able to eat fresh vegetables.

Let the master who develops glass continue to develop more transparent glass.

When it comes out with a better one, just replace it again.

I went to the winery again, there was no big deal here, there were two winemakers watching, the quality of the wine has been good, and the output is gradually improving.

Jia Cong plans to go on sale at the end of the year, and with his current status, ordinary people don't dare to trouble themselves.

Jia Cong didn't plan to come forward in this matter, just leave it to Zhang Fu and a few stewards to be in charge.

I went to the cement workshop and looked at the carpenter's shop and the blacksmith's shop.

The last man walked up the hill and into a dense forest.

In front of the cliff that climbed the rattan on one side, there was a separate hut, and there were two hounds lying on their stomachs at the door.

Jia Cong teased them a few times, did not linger any longer, and went around the hut to the cliff behind.

Reaching out to push away the thick rattan, he pushed the stone behind him away, revealing a swarthy hole.

"Third master, you're here."

The two gatekeepers behind the door saw Jia Cong and hurriedly saluted and said hello.

Jia Cong nodded with an "um" and continued to walk inside.

After walking a dozen steps, turning a corner, and walking a dozen or so steps, a hall appeared in front of me.

A man of about forty inside, when he saw Jia Cong coming in, he quickly got up and said hello.

"I've seen the third master."

Jia Cong smiled: "Master Liao, how is the experiment?" ”

Master Liao said: "Third master, the triggering device has been tested thousands of times, and only two times have gone wrong, basically meeting the requirements." ”

Jia Cong shook his head and said: "No, we have to continue to improve, we are not allowed to make a mistake once, once we make a mistake, the people around me will be finished, in case I am also around, or it happens that I use it, wouldn't it be the same as playing with eggs?" ”

"Knowing the third master, we will try it for a while next.

In addition, we have already made samples of the firebolt, there are forging equipment and drilling equipment, plus the steel we have refined is better, this firebolt has reached the highest level at present, and the safety performance has reached the guarantee. ”

The two of them followed the passage to another room, where a firearm was placed on the table.

Jia Cong picked up the arquebus and looked at it carefully, this thing was similar to the earth shotgun in the previous life, and it was much more advanced than the arquebus in the current life.

It's too cumbersome to reload gunpowder, too slow, not ideal.

Put three or four shots, the barrel will be hot, and if it does not cool, continue to reload the gunpowder, and the chamber may explode.

Although this musket is powerful and simple to use, the disadvantages are not small, and the cavalry will be crushed with a charge.

Unless you get tens of thousands of firebolts and make them scale, you can see the power of firebolts.

If it's really powerful, unless you get the bullet out, it's really amazing, just sweep it.

However, with the current conditions, there is no need to think about it in the short term.

In fact, Jia Cong didn't want to get a firearm, this thing came out, and it was also a threat to himself.

However, now that there are firearms in the army, it would be too backward if you don't get them yourself, so you can't use them, but you can't help but study them.

Research it out and secretly make a part of it, and store it as a backhand.

"If the experiment is okay, make a hundred firecrackers and store them first, and don't distribute them outside."

Master Liao said: "Third master, don't worry, without your permission, no one here will be able to enter, and it will not flow out." ”

The two went to another room, where there were two small steel cannons, one relatively large and the other very small.

Due to the good quality of the steel and the equipment for special drilling, it is very simple and fast to make artillery, and the quality of the artillery is also very good.

Jia Cong prefers this kind of small one, although the power is smaller, but one person can carry it to the carriage and run around, which is more convenient to carry, transport, and operate.

These things are currently contraband and can't be known to too many people.

Only when I got to the army, I went to the front line, and secretly brought a few to use them as a backup at critical moments.

Jia Cong mainly wanted to get some grenades, which were small and could not be found by others in their pockets.

And the operation is simple, and the lethality is also large, just pull it open and throw it out.

The loud explosion will make the horses frightened and uncontrollable, which is very good against the cavalry.

When the ignition device is passed, a batch can be produced.

The grenade casings are all ready, they are the kind of hand melon shape, and the size is very small, so it should be called a grenade.

This thing is very easy to use whether it is charging or escaping, and when you go to the battlefield, each person brings seven or eight, and the safety factor is higher.

"Master Liao, that ignition device still needs to be adjusted faster."

"Third master, don't worry, I will keep an eye on the whole process, and strive to achieve 100% safety as soon as possible."

Jia Cong nodded and left the secret base.

The base was completed half a year ago, which is also an accident.

Once, while talking to the blacksmiths, one of them mentioned that he had a friend who was good at making firebolts.

After Jia Cong heard this, he became interested, inquired carefully, and asked Wangcai to invite people back.

It was this Master Liao, the two chatted together for a long time, and finally Master Liao chose the location and built a secret arsenal in the belly of the mountain.

With these things, Jia Cong has more confidence.

Back in the yard, Mandarin Duck and the others had already settled down, and let Mandarin Duck take over the backyard.

"Well, it's okay here, if you really don't get used to it, I'll have someone send you back."

Mandarin duck said: "There is nothing not used to, although it is not as good as the house, but it is also very good, there is no lack of anything, you can go to Zhuangzi if you have nothing to do, or even go to the mountains to go around, this kind of opportunity is rare." ”

The attacker also said: "It's good here, if it's like before, you have to stay in the house for the rest of your life, but it's good to come out with the third master." ”

Jia Cong said with a smile: "When I have time in the future, I will take you around and see the scenery of various places." ”

Han Nianci came in and asked, "The third master is ready, is it time to eat?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Now that we're ready, let's eat first." ”

After eating, take a slight break.

led Qingwen and the four of them in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, trained for an hour, and then began to soak in the medicinal bath again.

Jia Cong closed his eyes slightly, posed in the pose of "Mixed Yuan Pile", and stood in the bathtub.

Feeling the slightest medicinal power penetrating into the bones, I felt a little crispy and numb.

Could this be the reason why the master said that he was about to forge his bones?

Han Nianci sat next to him, holding a copy of "The Art of War" and began to read it to Jia Cong.

Sun Tzu said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked.

Therefore, the scriptures are based on five things, and the school is calculated, and the situation is asked: one is the Tao, the second is the sky, the third is the earth, the fourth is the general, and the fifth is the law.

The Taoist makes the people agree with the superiors, so they can die with it, they can live with it, and they are not afraid of danger.

Heaven, yin and yang, cold and summer, and time system.

The earth, far and near, dangerous, wide and narrow, dead and alive.

Generals, wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness.

The law, the bend system, the official way, and the main use.

All these five will be unheard, those who know will win, and those who do not know will not win. Therefore, the school plans to ask for its feelings······"

Jia Cong gathered his mind, listened carefully, and remembered silently.

For more than a year, every day when he took a medicinal bath, he asked Han Nianci to read to him.

I began to read some of the current texts sent by Daiyu, then read medical books, and recently collected some art of war, and began to read the art of war.

I'm going to join the army in more than a year, so let's watch more about the art of war.

Jia Cong was listening carefully, and Qingwen ran in and shouted, "Third Master, I'll take a medicinal bath with you." ”

Without waiting for Jia Cong to respond, he poured his portion of the liquid into the bathtub, took off his coat, and climbed into the tub with only his small clothes.

Fortunately, Jia Cong's bath bucket is specially made, much larger than the others, otherwise it would be really crowded.

The mandarin duck frowned, this is too unruly.

He glanced at the attacker, and saw that Jia Cong did not speak, nor did he say anything to meddle in his affairs.

I thought about talking to Qingwen alone in the future, so that she could understand some rules.

Jia Cong asked, "Qingwen, don't you have a bath bucket?" Why didn't I see you move over? I thought you were going to take a medicinal bath with them in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. ”

Qingwen stood opposite Jia Cong in a posture of "Mixed Yuan Pile".

Only then did he open his mouth and smiled: "Third master, the four of them have to take a medicinal bath in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the bath bucket is not enough, so I gave them my one, and I thought that your bath bucket was relatively large, so I came to you to soak together." ”

Isn't there enough tub? Seriously, Jia Cong really didn't care about how many bath barrels there were.

"Go to the carpenter shop tomorrow and let them make a few more, it won't be a problem to make this thing."

Qingwen nodded and said, "Well, I'll go and tell them tomorrow and let them make four more." ”

Jia Cong nodded slightly in acquiescence, looking at the little beauty opposite, as fresh and beautiful as a hibiscus out of the water, the two small breasts also bulged, and they had begun to develop, and they would soon become big girls.

Although he was wearing underwear, he was soaked in water, and his whole figure was even more exquisite, which made people think about it.

Jia Cong quickly shook his head, closed his eyes, calmed down, and collected his mind.

Seeing this, the corners of Qingwen's mouth hooked, and she closed her eyes slightly, and stood up seriously.

Han Nianci looked at the expressions of the two and smiled, he was used to it.

It's better in summer, but in winter, when the weather is cold, the two of them sleep together almost every day, and they become the royal bed warmer.

Looking at my own master, I also admired it a little in my heart, such a beautiful girl, she slept with her arms every day, and nothing happened.

Seeing that both of them calmed down, they also retracted their minds and continued to read "The Art of War".

"Therefore, the method of using soldiers, ten is to surround it, five is to attack it, and the multiple is divided, the enemy can fight, if there is little, you can escape, and if you don't, you can avoid it. Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is captured ······"

Hearing that Han Nianci read "The Art of War" again, Jia Cong turned on the learning mode again, listening carefully while silently memorizing.

Half an hour passed quickly, and the two climbed out of the bathtub, rinsed with clean water again, and went straight to bed to rest.

Early the next morning, Jia Cong got up early.

With Qingwen, and the four people of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, they practiced for half an hour.

Then he carried a 30-pound weight on his back and went to the circular track for a lap.

Spring, summer, autumn and winter are the first time to run with weights, although the physical training is very good, it is still a little unable to keep up, and slowly fall behind.

Running also requires a process, a long-term persistence process, and I believe that after a month, four people will be able to catch up.

After breakfast, he took the five of them to the master's courtyard.

"Master, the four of them are what I told you, Chunlan, Xia Zhu, Qiu Ju, Dong Mei, have been with me for almost two years, and they have been practicing hard, and in the past year, they have been taking medicinal baths every day, and their strength has improved rapidly."

The four of them stepped forward with Qingwen and saluted: "I've seen my seniors." ”

Zhang Moyan glanced at the four of them, asked the four of them to practice boxing, and after pointing out his fingers, he let them go to the side to practice.

The kung fu of these four girls is very solid, the foundation is also good, and there is no shortage of resources, so they enter the country very quickly.

"You kid is really willing, plus Zhang Hu and Li Biao, the eight of you alone have a medicated bath, which is nearly 30,000 taels of silver a year."

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Master, compared to life, this amount of money is really nothing, with them accompanying me, my safety is guaranteed." ”

The master and apprentice said a few more words, and Jia Cong took Qingwen to practice in the courtyard.
