Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 14

"The rivers and lakes are dangerous, brother has two things to give you." Chai Jin said as he took out a silk-wrapped bundle from the cabinet and unfolded it on the table. One was soft armor with golden wires densely woven vest.The other is a short hunting knife.

"This soft armor can defend against swords and swords. Its protection is better than that of heavy armor, but it is also quite good. This short knife is made of snowflake iron and fine steel. It has a sharp edge. It is perfect for self-defense when you are doing business outside." Chai Jin said.

Shi Xiu's jaw almost dropped in surprise, who hasn't heard of gold silk soft armor, all of them are family heirlooms, enshrined as treasures.This thing does not talk about its real value, but the workmanship of this thing. It takes a skilled craftsman one or two years to complete this set of soft armor.The gold wire soft armor is not made of gold, but gold-plated steel wire, but the value is too high, there is no market for it, and you have no place to buy it for 3000 taels of silver.

This hunting knife is not ordinary, it is covered with patterns of snowflakes, with a sharp edge and exquisite workmanship, it is definitely a precious knife.

Shi Xiu said: "This set of soft armor and this precious sword are probably worth no less than three or four thousand taels of silver. It's too expensive, how dare Shi Xiu accept it."

"Brother Shi Xiu is so loyal to Yuntian, and he draws his sword to help when the road is uneven. He is a rare man. How can the friendship between you and me be measured by money? If I, Chai Jin, are in trouble one day, will Brother Shi Xiu not go because of danger? Help?" Chai Jin said.

Shi Xiu said: "Definitely not, my brother is in trouble, even if it is difficult and dangerous, Shi Xiu will help."

"That's it. No matter how good the treasure is, it's just something outside of the body. If you manage the horses for your brother, it can be regarded as a benefit to the people. In the future, the people will use mules to plow the land and pull carts, and that is all thanks to Brother Shixiu." Chai Jin Say.

Seeing that Shi Xiu couldn't evade it, she carefully accepted it.Chai Jin gave Shi Xiu a golden silk soft armor on his body, and there was a coat on the outside, which he couldn't tell from Ben.

Shi Xiu went back to prepare, and tomorrow he will take people to Zhending Mansion to sell horses again.

When Chai came into the school grounds, everyone was actively training, the queue had already practiced in style, and the obedience of the nurses had also been greatly improved.Everyone admired and feared Chai Jin's military training ability.What I admire is that the training is too good, and what I am afraid of is tossing people, and the legs of a person who can stand in a military posture tremble.

Chai Yong took someone to the West Village to replace Chai Meng, and arranged for Chai Meng to return to the school for rotation training.When Chai Meng came back, he also brought back a shocking news. A bandit appeared in a place more than a hundred miles south, reporting his name to Guoshanlong.The Guoshan peak in the south refers to the cobra, and the Guoshanlong in the north refers to the white-haired wind that blows when it snows in winter. The strong wind is mixed with snowflakes and covers the earth like a dragon.The name of the bandit means that it is very powerful, and no grass grows where it passes.

"Chai Meng, is the news reliable? How dangerous are these bandits so close to us?" Chai Jin asked.

"The news is reliable. There are about 400 bandits. The day before yesterday, they broke into a village and robbed all the food and livestock. Anyone who dared to resist would be stabbed. The leader is a dwarf. It is said that his hobbies are wide-ranging. He robbed cattle, sheep, livestock, and women." .” Chai Meng said.

Chai Jin also had no choice, he had only traveled through time for a few days, and he had no scouts under his command, let alone secret agents.

Chaijiazhuang is rich, and recently bought more than 200 horses. There is no guarantee that it will not become a fat sheep in the eyes of bandits.

Chai Jin immediately sent two shrewd guards to inquire about the news. The art of war goes like this: Know yourself, know your enemy, and win every battle.

The guards were training horse riding again today. A group of people left the village and trained towards the Shahe Beach in the east of the village, riding horses back and forth. The first step of training is to be proficient in riding horses.Wu Song's performance is still very eye-catching, but he learned how to ride a horse in two days.

At this time, the village was in deep trouble, because there was good news again, female workers were recruited, and the monthly salary was [-], and they would work in Chai's house.Room and board are included, and bonuses are calculated separately.And there were nine people at once, and the whole East Village was boiling with such good news.The registration point in the East Village Plaza was crowded with more than a dozen people.The sister-in-law of the Yang family yelled and waited in line for a long time before registering her daughter Yang Dayatou. Everyone was so careful. When the daughter was sent to work in the Chai family, at least she had to meet with Chai officials often. Chai officials Young, handsome, and rich, if he could marry his daughter to Chai Jin, he would be rich and carefree for the rest of his life.

Of course, Chai Jin didn't know about these small thoughts, and the nine maids he recruited were not with Chai Jin, but worked in the kitchen and the pig farm.Because Chai Jin transferred four of the kitchen maids to the back garden to guard the machines.

The metal factory is processing the wooden handle of the engineer shovel. Two female workers guard the factory, putting wood into it every ten minutes, taking out finished products and scraps.The whole process is only an external assistance, and there is no need to get started.Two female workers work in six-hour shifts, two shifts a day, and can produce more than [-] wooden handles.

Elm, willow, jujube, and ash are all good choices for processing wooden handles.The wooden handle is 1.2 meters long, with high hardness, smooth and no scars, and the workmanship is completely at the level of art.

"How many have been produced?" Chai Jin came in and asked.

The female worker on duty turned out to be Chai Jin's personal servant girl named Hong Yan, who helped Chai Jin get dressed and so on. Unexpectedly, Chai Jin didn't need her to serve her now.But now he is the director of the metal factory, responsible for command and dispatch.

Hong Yan said: "Master, now we have [-] bundles in stock, so we can get [-] bundles after get off work today. I'm not tired of waiting, but this machine is so weird that it won't move at that time."

"Don't worry, there should be [-] pieces tomorrow afternoon, and I will send someone to carry them. We will start producing shovels the day after tomorrow," Chai Jin said.

Hongyan asked: "Young master, to produce so many shovels, but to dig rivers?"

"No, the men who dig the river have their own farm tools, and the blacksmith shop must make them. The shovels we make are much better than ordinary shovels. As for what they are used for, don't ask them. Got it." Chai Jin said.

Hongyan stuck out her tongue in fright, she signed a non-disclosure agreement when she came to work here, you can’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, and you can’t say what you shouldn’t say, otherwise deducting money and fines will be a trivial matter, not to mention that Hongyan has served Chai Jin for several years Yes, I know Chai Jin's temper.

Chai Jin wants to organize strong men. There are exactly 500 households in Chaijiazhuang. Each household has one man, and the team leader is [-] households. There are a total of [-] people. .

Early the next morning, 100 strong men gathered neatly in the East Village Square, and each team of [-] people carried a team flag.The organization is very simple, the first team, the second team, and the third team are like this.

Chai Jin stood up first, and said with a loud voice: "This year is not peaceful, wild wolves and wild boars are constantly making troubles, and recently there have been bandits."

Chai Jin's voice exploded, and the villagers made a lot of noise.
