Chapter 156: Lack of Manpower

"It's okay. The group came to the place where the explosion just now, and after taking a look at the damage, Cheng Siping nodded slightly and said indifferently.

Kou Yun and the two principals who were next to him twitched when they heard this, and said in their hearts: The village chief is just the power of the explosion just now, I'm afraid that the full force of the peak of the Martial King Realm is not so strong, right, you have an okay evaluation in your mouth? This is already very good, okay. They had all seen the power of the grenade, and they had guessed that the power of this shell would be not small, but they didn't expect it to be so big. They instantly understood what Cheng Siping said before, what was the use of the new explosives.

"Let's go, go back and try again. Cheng Siping beckoned people and returned to the cannon at the entrance of the village. This time, he didn't need to do it, the two directors were very diligent in learning Cheng Siping to carry a shell and stuff it into the barrel. And the matter of firing the cannon was robbed by Kou Yun, and it is rare that this daughter of the Kou family, who has always been upright, has actually thought about this addiction to firing guns this time. However, before firing the gun, Cheng Siping still told Kou Yun a few precautions, mainly to prevent the explosion. This is only in the testing stage, the stability is definitely not very good, and the probability of such an accident is not small.

"Bang" another shell was fired, but this time it hit not in the air, but on a small hill in front. The explosion soon rang out, and the hill looked like a mess from a distance, and a large crater had been blown out in front of it.

"It's basically okay, go back and let the ironworks speed up the production, select and make sixteen cannons, and put them at the entrance of this East and West Village, and our village will be basically stable." Cheng Siping said with a smile indifferently.

Kou Yun and the two principals couldn't help but get excited when they heard Cheng Siping's words. With this big guy in charge, plus grenades, they don't have to worry too much about this beast tide.

"That village chief, shouldn't we also get another workshop to make this kind of cannonball?" asked the head of the copper smelting workshop. When he was appointed by Cheng Siping to be the head of this copper smelting workshop, to be honest, he was quite depressed. The reason is very simple, the brass he smelted seems to be useless at all. The copper is soft, and it can't be compared with the special steel made by a few iron-making mills. At this time, he realized that this copper smelting workshop was prepared for the manufacture of cannonballs.

"Naturally, we have to build a special one. And there is a certain danger in doing this, so the people who enter this workshop should be specially selected. Make sure you're the kind of person who is calm and meticulous. And everyone's state must be kept at the best, just after something, unstable, can not let them work, in order to ensure the safety of the workshop operation. Of course, the people who are selected to enter this workshop will definitely be treated differently from others. Specifically, go back and let the Council of Elders study it and come up with a plan. Cheng Siping Shi Ran said.

"I'm going to tell a few of the elders to come to the council chamber for a meeting. Kou Yun reacted first. It's not a small matter to set up a new workshop, and there are cannons. According to the principle of deliberation set by Xuanyuan Village at the time of merging the villages, it is necessary to convene all the elders for joint coordination.

However, as soon as Kou Yun turned around, he found that he didn't need to run to find someone, such a loud noise was heard by the whole village, how could the five elders not hear it. They didn't know when, but they had already come.

"Let's go, let's go back to the Zhu family's courtyard to discuss. Cheng Siping didn't explain too much, waved his hand and took everyone back to the village. After returning to the village, everyone else dispersed, and Cheng Siping and the five elders, Kou Yun, came to the Zhu family compound.

At this time, the Zhu family compound had been completely divided into two, and the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard were completely separated. Zhu Sheng even let people build a high wall between the inner and outer courtyards, completely separating them. The inner courtyard is now the residence of the direct relatives of the Zhu family. The outer courtyard is where Xuanyuan Village's office and deliberations are located, and according to Cheng Siping's previous life, it should probably be called the village committee.

"This cannon is so powerful, it really should be rushed. If there are several such cannon guards on the left and right sides of the village, it will not be so easy for the alien beasts to attack our village. Kou Tiansheng spoke first.

"The biggest problem now is manpower. It is important to build a village, to make cannons, and to build a new workshop to produce shells. The manpower in the village was already tight, and the number of people in the three iron-making workshops, three explosives workshops, and one grenade workshop was enough for the city. Now a new workshop is going to be built, and the copper smelting workshop must be re-emphasized, which is also important. In this way, the gap in employment is really big. Zhu Sheng counted with his fingers, looking a little helpless.

"The lack of people is indeed the biggest problem we are facing at present. But in order to cope with the upcoming beast tide in the future, let's grit our teeth and persist during this time. Cheng Siping has nothing to do about this matter. How can a small village of 1,000 people support a large industrial system. And what Cheng Siping was doing in Xuanyuan Village at this time was a small military industrial system. With such an industrial population, if it weren't for his strong beast-hunting ability, it is estimated that he would not be able to sustain it for a long time.

"In a few days, some of the people sent out to mine can be called back. This is the agreement I just signed with the Golden Knife Tribe, you all take a look. Cheng Siping handed the agreement signed with Ashali to Zhu Sheng, and motioned for him to read it and pass it down. Cheng Siping, the village head, usually doesn't care about things. However, nominally, it has full authority to dispose of foreign-related matters. Therefore, he signed this agreement with the Golden Knife Tribe, which was also in line with the rules of the village. Of course, after the signing, out of respect for Cheng Siping, he still had to give it to the Council of Elders for consideration. If the elders disagree, they may also propose to abolish the agreement.

After the agreement was read by several people, the faces of several elders were filled with joy. Zhu Sheng even smiled: "The village chief's agreement is too good. In this way, we don't need to merge the people of the Golden Knife tribe into the village, and we can make their people use for us, and they are the kind of willingly. ”

"I guess that Patriarch Axiali, when he saw this agreement, thought he had taken a big advantage. If she knew that our village was producing grenades a day now, she would probably regret it. Wang Linyuan also smiled.

What satisfied the elders present with this agreement was the number of grenades. Others don't know how many grenades are produced in the village, but they do. Now the daily production is approaching 2,000 pieces. After all, there is no technical difficulty in this thing, and it is not enough for a person to assemble two or three hundred pieces a day. According to the agreement, only one or two hundred pieces were provided to the Golden Dao tribe every day, which was less than one-tenth of the output, which was really a lot of money.
