"Your official understands!" That Lord Jiang's face tightened.

"Have you prepared all the craftsmen who understand firearms?" Kang Dahe still looked stern.

"Ready!" Master Jiang immediately nodded and said, "A courtyard has been specially marked out, and they are all waiting there at this time."

Only then did Kang Dahe's expression ease, and he turned to Luo Xin and said, "No weapon, you go to the Firearms Camp first, and I'll check the progress of the bow and arrow and ballista."

"Okay!" Luo Xin nodded and said, "I'll go find your lord in a while."

Kang Dahe nodded, and then the two separated. Kang Dahe went to check the production of bows and ballistas, while Luo Xin walked towards a courtyard accompanied by Mr. Jiang.

Luo Xin turned his head and glanced at Mr. Jiang and said, "I haven't asked Mr. Jiang for his name yet."

That Lord Jiang immediately replied respectfully: "My lord, my name is Jiang Song, and I am currently the head of the Military Weapons Department. I have been in the Military Weapons Department for more than [-] years, and I know a lot about the Military Weapons Department, my lord." If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask your subordinates."

Luo Xin glanced at Jiang Song, saw that he was only in his forties at this time, and it seemed that he had worked in the Military Weapons Department all his life, so he couldn't help laughing and said:
"Master Jiang is the old man of the Armament Department."

A wry smile appeared on Jiang Song's face. He had worked in the Military Weapons Department all his life, but now he is only the head of the Military Weapons Department. However, he also knew his shortcomings, so he said with a wry smile:

"The qualifications of the lower officials are dull, just a juren."

Luo Xin immediately understood that Jiang Song did not have Jinshi status, so it became very difficult to get promoted.After thinking for a while, now he needs Jiang Song's best cooperation, so he said softly:
"Master Jiang, I think you also know that I am here to take up the position of Armament Supervisor only temporarily. As long as we can work together to complete the task entrusted by His Majesty this time, I will definitely recommend you to Lord Kang."

Jiang Song's spirit was revived, his eyes glowed with gratitude, and he bowed to Luo Xin and said:

"Thank you, my lord! I will do my best to cooperate with you, my lord."

With these words, the relationship between the two people is obviously much closer.Under the leadership of Jiang Song, they came to a courtyard gate, walked into the heavy gate, and saw hundreds of people standing inside. These hundreds of people first looked at Jiang Song, and then at Luo Xin.Jiang Song stepped forward and said:

"This is the champion of the current department, the current military supervisor Luo Xinluo, sir, why don't you see me?"

Hundreds of people knelt down on the ground and shouted, "See you, my lord!"

"Get up!" Luo Xin said lightly, then turned to Jiang Song and said, "Are these people who understand firearms?"

"Yes, my lord! There are finally 520 people, of whom 270 know how to mix gunpowder, and the rest know how to make firearms."

"That's good!"

Luo Xin's heart is loose, with these skilled craftsmen, his task is easy to complete.He first inspected the warehouse and saw that there were all kinds of materials in the warehouse, so he divided the 270 people into a group. This group was responsible for making gunpowder, and then selected ten strong and strong people as a group. , this group is responsible for transporting gunpowder.Divide the rest of the people into two groups, one group is responsible for filling gunpowder and broken iron pieces into the earthen jar, and the other group is responsible for pressing the leads and sealing. This is already a standard assembly line. A large number of Thunderbolts are produced in it.

Luo Xin first gathered the 270 six people in an independent yard, and began to teach them how to make black powder. Daming had already invented gunpowder, but the power was far from the gunpowder made by Luo Xin, but the basic principles of these craftsmen were I understand, so Luo Xin just told them the ratio, and then demonstrated it with his own hands, and these craftsmen all understood.

Soon the first batch of gunpowder was produced, and then Luo Xin began to teach other groups of craftsmen how to make thunderbolts. Unexpectedly, these craftsmen knew how to make thunderbolts, and they just got started in an instant.After thinking about it for a while, Luo Xin understood that the Armament Department of Daming had made Thunderbolt bombs before, but the power was different because of the difference in gunpowder.

In this way, it took less than a morning for Luo Xin to let go. More than 500 craftsmen started working nervously and busyly, and Luo Xin had nothing to do at all.So, he handed over the matter here to Jiang Song, and went to find Kang Dahe himself.

After finding Kang Dahe, Kang Dahe was watching craftsmen making bows and arrows in the workshop. Luo Xin came to his side and whispered:

"Master Kang."

Kang Dahe's eyes lit up and he said, "Is everything about the firearms battalion arranged?"

"Yeah!" Luo Xin said with joy on his face, "They are all skilled craftsmen. I estimated just now that if they sleep less, they should be able to make a thousand thunderbolts a day, and they can make them in ten days. Ten thousand pieces came out. At that time, they will be transported to Datong together with the bow and arrow ballista, which should be able to play some role, and then they will be continuously produced here and sent to Datong continuously.”

"Great!" Kang Dahe also became excited, but then he said anxiously: "No weapons, the issue of firearms is settled, here is the problem, but you can figure out a solution?"

Luo Xin looked at the craftsmen who were working around him and said, "My lord, I don't know much about making bows and arrows, can you explain it to me?"

Hearing Luo Xin's words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Kang Dahe's eyes.Since Luo Xin didn't even know how to make a bow and arrow, how could he figure out a way?But in the end, I still held a glimmer of hope in my heart, so I explained it to Luo Xin in detail.

"No, the first thing you need to make a bow is bamboo, which is used to make the body of the bow. The second thing you need is horns, and a bow needs two horns, which are installed at both ends of the bow. The third thing you need is tendons, which are used as bow tendons. The fourth is to attach the bow body, and the fifth is to combine these parts to complete a bow, so five steps are required."

Luo Xin nodded and said, "My lord, how long does it take for a craftsman to make a bow?"

"It takes a craftsman a day to make a bow."

Luo Xin couldn't help but frowned slightly. It took only one person to make a bow in a day, and the efficiency was low enough.asked again:

"Then how many people are there in the Ordnance Department?"

"There are more than [-] people."

"That is to say, [-] bows can be made in one day?"

"Yes." Kang Dahe said with a look of anxiety on his face: "Only 1 bows can be made in ten days. There are 1 bows in stock, and 1 bows have been made recently, and now there are only 3 bows. Zhang Gong. In the next ten days, [-] bows can be made, and the total is only [-] bows, which is still [-] short."
