"The owner of the village, fortunately not dishonored! 200 people, all in place. ”

Zhou Lang is quite high-spirited.

He's really proud.

It was left idle for a month or two, and finally reused.

The errand of recruiting people this time is Zhou Lang's "debut".

The effect is naturally very good.

The number of people found in full has not caused too many waves.

Outsiders only think that Longmenzhai is expanding the workshop, and they don't know that Longmenzhai has thousands of people.

I don't know that in two days, Longmen Village will send 2,000 men and horses to "go out".

was able to complete the task, and was low-key and confidential, Zhou Lang felt that he really lived up to the trust of the owner of the village.

"Good! Steward Zhou, well done! ”

Shen Wu did not hesitate to praise, not only verbally praised, but also let Goldman Sachs, who was in charge of internal affairs, give Zhou Lang a "credit".

The cottage still continues Shen Wu's merit mode - the point system.

From Shen Wu and Jiang Yanchi below, everyone will abide by the rules and accumulate points.

At the end of the year, or at the end of a cycle, rewards will be awarded.

However, Shen Wu's team has just been formed, and it has been less than a year since it was full.

When will it be settled, and what specific rewards will be there when it is settled, but it also needs to be actually operated at that time.

Of course, Shen Wu will not draw cakes in the void.

She has a lot of materials in the space, and there is also the territory of the cottage, and there are many prizes that can be rewarded.

"Thank you, owner!"

got Shen Wan's approval, and saw that behind his name, there were more double-digit points, and Zhou Lang's beard was a little floaty.

"You're welcome, as long as you work hard, the cottage will naturally not treat you badly!"

Shen Wan waved her hand and sent Zhou Lang out.

The people are in place, the food is sufficient, and the next step is to go on the expedition.

"Jiang Sanqi, let's go first."

Shen Wu turned her head sideways and said softly to Jiang Yanchi.

"Good!"

Jiang Yanchi faced Shen Wu and would not say a single word "no".

Moreover, Shen Wu's decision is also correct.

They also need to go to Sanguan in advance and make a deal with Zheng Qi.

In this way, the army can successfully clear the customs.

If he didn't advance it, but directly led the men and horses to Sanguan, Zheng Qi would definitely be like a great enemy.

The world is in chaos, and people's hearts are even more untrustworthy.

Zheng Qicai will not easily believe in a cheap "nephew"!

"By the way, the ironsmith workshop, have you got the things done?"

Now that you're going out, get your "gifts" ready.

Among the craftsmen recruited by the cottage last time, there was a blacksmith who could strike iron.

Shen Wu took advantage of the situation to open an ironware workshop.

In addition to crafting farm tools such as hoes and shovels, you can also repair damaged armor and weapons.

In addition, Shen Wu also came up with some gadgets.

She briefly described the production process, and briefly described the shape and size, and let the craftsmen develop it themselves.

Coupled with the horseshoe to be used this time, the work of the ironwork workshop is still very busy.

"It should be almost!"

Jiang Yanchi is not interested in other workshops, but the ironsmith workshop, because it also undertakes part of the function of "crafting weapons", so, in his spare time, Jiang Yanchi will also go to the ironcraft workshop for a stroll.

Especially this time, Shen Wu made a horseshoe.

Jiang Yanchi had never heard of this thing, nor had he ever seen it.

He didn't doubt Shen Wu's ability, but due to the limitations of cognition, he couldn't imagine the real thing.

After the drawings were handed over to the blacksmith, Jiang Yanchi went over to take a look from time to time.

Therefore, he is quite familiar with the work progress of the ironwork workshop.

"Let's go! Check it out! ”

Shen Wu did not hesitate, called Jiang Yanchi and went to the ironware workshop in Heilongzhai together.

Well, the infrastructure of Black Dragon Village is not as perfect as Longmen Village.

There are few houses and there are no terraces.

There are a lot of "secret rooms" dug in the back mountain.

It's a treasury again, it's a dungeon again.

After Shen Wan took it, these lands temporarily lost their effect.

Especially the dungeon...... No need! At least for the moment, Shen Wu didn't think she could use it.

These sturdy and hidden stone houses cannot be left unused.

Based on the principle of "no waste", Shen Wu converted these stone houses into workshops or material warehouses.

There are a few ironwork workshops.

Halfway up the hillside, a blast furnace was built with stones against the mountain.

Coal found in the mountains is piled aside.

There was a fire burning in the hearth, and the temperature was high enough to calcinate the iron.

Bang! Bang! Bang.

The blacksmiths were naked, revealing their bummy tendons.

One of them held a red-hot piece of iron between long tongs and placed it on the worktop, while the others held a sledgehammer and struck it again and again.

After calcination and tremendous thrashing, the iron began to deform little by little, and was made into the desired shape.

"That's it?"

Jiang Yanchi finally saw the finished product of the horseshoe.

Four U-shaped pieces of iron with a small hole in them.

"That's right! That's it! ”

Shen Wu also picked up a piece and looked at it carefully, it was similar to what she had seen in the racecourse in the later generations.

Maybe the craftsmanship is a little rough, but it already has the prototype of the basic model.

Not refined enough, but enough!

"How to use it? Is it possible to nail it with nails? ”

Jiang Yanchi is really smart.

He had never seen a horseshoe, but he had eyes and brains.

His fingertips groped for the holes, "These are the ones used to drive nails?" ”

But—

Here comes a new problem.

"Feasible? Won't hurt the horse's hooves? ”

That's meat.

Nail in the flesh, are you sure it's not the torture of the Imperial Prison in the capital?

Shen Wan: ......

She pointed to Jiang Yanchi's nails, "The nails are long, do you want to cut them?" When you cut it, does it hurt? ”

Jiang Yanchi raised his eyebrows, "You mean to say that horses' hooves are the same as human fingernails?" ”

"That's right! It is the stratum corneum of the human body. It is no different from human fingernails and toenails. ”

Shen Wan nodded, indicating that you got it right!

Jiang Yanchi: Cuticle? And what is it?

Could it be that this is a novel term for "immortals"?

Jiang Yanchi remained silent and secretly wrote it down.

In fact, since he knew Shen Wu, for most of the half year, he heard Shen Wu say too many novel words.

He didn't ask too much, just remembered it silently, and when necessary, helped Shen Wu cover and explain.

"Since it's the same, it shouldn't hurt!"

Jiang Yanchi bowed slightly, indicating that he had been taught.

"You can try!"

Shen Wu looked at the number of horseshoes made by the blacksmiths, well, there were more than a dozen pieces.

Just take out four pieces as a sample, and then a horse as a "model", which should be able to convince Zheng Qi.

“…… Good. ”

Jiang Yanchi agreed, went to the stable in the back mountain in person, and came to a horse.

Next, it's a matter of holding down and nailing.

The whole time, the horse struggled and neighed.

Jiang Yanchi could see clearly, it should not be caused by pain, but frightened.

For when the horseshoe was nailed, the horse was free to stand up, and it was quiet.

"Your Highness, I'll ride this horse to Sanguan."

"Good!"
