Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 391 Willow's Tens of Thousands of Coolies

"Fight, keep fighting." Liu Mu shouted into the arena.

Nearly a hundred people in the open space started to fight again. The simplest fist and the weapon that can be used is only a one-foot-long wooden stick.

Nearly a hundred people were not in a melee, but a one-on-one duel.

In just a few breaths, he collapsed while wearing the monk's clothes.

"What is this? It's not even a warm-up. Hurry up for the next batch." A bare-chested servant with his own rank badge tied to his arm pointed around and shouted.

Even if they used to be gangsters, if they stayed in the temple for a long time, they could not compare with these strong servants who practiced all day.

In addition to their previous abilities, these people practiced two sets of boxing, one was Liu Mu's seemingly tricky tricks, but even Su Dingfang was convinced by later generations of military boxing.

The other is terrible, the bayonet body technique of later generations, the deadly dagger routine of the knife.

With the short sticks in the hands of these people, as long as they stab the opponent, they will roll all over the ground in pain, and even faint directly.

Those people on the ground were dragged aside by the government soldiers, and Liu Mu's servants continued to yell for the next batch to hurry up and don't waste time.

Su Dingfang kept smiling and watched this scene.

Liu Mu raised his head back, looked at Su Dingfang and said, "Are you planning to give the government soldiers a blow?"

"That's right. I think that each government is very strong, and it's hard to control the rebellious ones. Fortunately, we have a good reputation, but there will inevitably be some people who are not convinced. It's not bad at the moment, and we haven't formally recruited servants. We will let them know What is real training?" Su Dingfang answered Liu Mu with a smile.

In the next three days, no matter whether it is a monk or a Taoist priest, less than 5.00% of men have not been beaten.

The 5.00% are young.

Each era has its own way. Liumu’s so-called virtues are more suitable for convincing people with sticks. They are beaten first, and then they all rush to the river after the beating. Everyone is washed with a hard pig hair brush, and they receive new clothes. , collar tool.

Compared with monks and Taoist priests.The nuns and nuns are much gentler here.

But bathing and changing clothes are hard rules.

Each person was given a piece of scented shampoo, plus two sets of underwear of white folded cloth, and then clothes of fine linen and sackcloth.

The first matchmaker in Sanyuan County, Piaohong Liugu, was promoted to the first head of the women's battalion. She carried a leather whip and inspected from battalion to battalion. .

More and more people were sent to Sanyuan, all of Liu Mu's servants and the five thousand borrowed government soldiers stared at these people day and night like an enemy, for fear that someone would cause trouble.

When encountering thorns, countless men and women are locked in the small black room first.

Another two days passed, and this was the fifth day after the first batch of people arrived. The camp finally became a bit more orderly and settled down.

The stewards of each battalion began to put up big signs and spread the word in each battalion.

"If you can read, stand up."

There are nearly 5 people, less than 100 people can really write freely, less than 500 people can know [-] characters, and they can barely write.

"I don't even know the words, how can I recite the scriptures, they are all fakes." Liu Mu cursed while looking at the directory.

Everyone was speechless.

The literacy rate is less than [-]%, which is really embarrassing.

"Is there anyone with rough medical skills..."

Each battalion began to select people, from those who could read and write, to those who knew medical skills, and then blacksmiths, carpenters, and masons...

Among the monks and priests, less than 5000 people were selected, and the rest of them had no special skills. A few said that they could fight, but they could only be sandbags in front of Liu Mujiading, and few of them really had skills. Those who are not in the body, when they meet the ranger on Liumu's side, they are also sandbags.

Seeing that Liu Mu's brows were all twisted into a ball, Su Dingfang persuaded from the side: "Mr. Lang, what you want is hard work. It's a good thing to be able to pick out ten or eight craftsmen. What's more, there are more than [-]% of the craftsmen in the women's camp. They all know the work of weavers, and many of them are proficient in medical skills."

"proficient?"

"For ordinary people, they are proficient." Su Dingfang changed his words.

It is really inappropriate for Liu Mu to say that he is proficient in medical skills.

Su Dingfang added: "A dozen or so people are really proficient in musical instruments."

"Well, go back and ask if you'd like to play musical instruments again. It's not an errand like a singing and dancing girl, and it's not a lowly background. Then ask Ye Siniang to send a few people to take the test."

What Liu Mu said was right according to his moral values, he would not force anyone to do anything.

But Su Dingfang objected: "They have all been sent down to become official slaves, and they can choose. It is not intentional to oppose the decision of your husband, but I am afraid that other people will not be able to control this matter once it is opened. What's more, they have proposed it on their own initiative. If you are proficient in musical instruments, otherwise you can hide it, what does your lord think?"

"Okay, do what you want."

Liu Mu backed down. In recent months, Liu Mu has been greatly impacted, and the conflict between his own moral values ​​and Datang's moral values ​​has become more and more serious.

Even Dugu Lanruo and her own values ​​and morals began to have many differences.

"Lang Jun, so the construction of Xinsanfang will start?" Su Dingfang asked Liu Mu.

Liu Mu nodded slightly: "Has the item I wanted from Liangzhou arrived? Have you tried it?"

"Yes, there is indeed gum and the output is not small. The several stewards of the workshop think that a workshop should be built in Liangzhou, where the gum is extracted and then transported here, and then the gum is further processed. Several rubber craftsmen are using their own methods to research. , It has been clearly posted that the best person will be rewarded with ten strings."

Listening to Su Dingfang's words, Liu Mu looked at his feet.

On Liumu's feet are a pair of half-Han half-Hu style buckskin short boots, and the cost of these boots is [-] Wen.The cost of linen shoes is [-] Wen for the cheap ones, and [-] Wen for the expensive ones.

What Liumu got from Liangzhou was in fact Eucommia, and Liumu failed in chemistry.

But Datang's glue makers are thinking about how to harden the gum, and use multiple layers of hemp woven bottoms and then apply glue to increase waterproofness and durability.Liu Mu believes that there will be results in another month, at least something that can be used initially.

"Start the workshop!"

"Choose an auspicious day these days, and start work after offering sacrifices to heaven and earth."

The three new workshops that Su Dingfang mentioned are three very remarkable workshops.The first workshop enamel workshop, this kind of craft has never been thought of by Liumu.

But when the Liumu school Shadow Knife was looking for excellent craftsmen, the Shadow Knife found a group of broken barbarians.

They are not craftsmen, but they dedicated a set of enamel crafts to Liumu. Some craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty had come into contact with it in the former Sui Dynasty. At this time, there is a complete album of enamel crafts, which has been perfected and improved.

Tried it on a one-off stamped iron basin without all the fancy parts.

The result is super similar to the enamel pots of later generations.
