The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

"Pa, PA, PA..."

With the sound of the birds' blunderbusts, Xu Liang tried to fire more than 20 blunderbusses. Except for one shot, because the lead bullet was not tamped, there was a misfire. After refilling and tamping, the rest of the blunderbusses were normal.

Li Yuanqing nodded slightly, and did not let Xu Liang continue to test fire.

It is inevitable that such mechanical things will fail. Even if it is the sophisticated electronic instruments and high-end cars of later generations, there will be some small problems, which Li Yuanqing can accept. However, these problems must be within the controllable range, and there must be no major hidden dangers, such as explosion, which will endanger the lives of soldiers. This is something that Li Yuanqing absolutely can not tolerate 。

"Brother Xu, you've done a good job." Looking at Xu Liang's nervous appearance, Li Yuanqing expressed his affirmation with a smile.

Xu Liang couldn't help but feel relieved. Just now, the blundering of the bird's blunderbuss made his heart go up in his throat.

After all, human beings are not gods. It is impossible to make any mistakes at all.

However, if you want to make a small mistake, you should beat a person to death with one stick, which is not a good way.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

Li Yuanqing's tolerance also moved Xu Liang. If such a problem had occurred in the military storehouse of Guangning before, even if Xu Liang could have escaped death, he would not have been able to get rid of it.

"Little Mr. Xie is tolerant." Xu Liang kowtowed to Li Yuanqing heavily.

Mr. Yang also knelt down on the ground.

"I'm still worried. If you can be more patient, you should be able to do better. " Xu Liang knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing glanced at them. Then he helped them up one by one and said slowly, "there is nothing good that can be done to correct mistakes. In fact, it's not you who are in a hurry, or I am too anxious. "

Li Yuanqing looked up at the sun in the sky and relaxed his tone. "From today on, the blacksmith shop should not pursue the quantity of tasks, but start from the most basic quality. Now that our army is short of materials, it is even more important to cherish and utilize existing resources. In this way, the task of the blacksmith. "

Li Yuanqing thought for a moment, "it's mainly based on bird's blunderbuss. The monthly quota is set at 80. Can you make sure you don't have a bit of stubble for the 80 strokes? "

With that, Li Yuanqing scanned the crowd.

When Xu Liang and Mr. Yang got to know each other, they were all relieved. For the 120 stroke task, they really had some pressure, mainly because of the lack of raw materials. When they were in Guangning City, they could achieve the process in two days, but it took three or even five days to get here.

Li Yuanqing all of a sudden shrunk the 40 pole task, their pressure suddenly reduced.

Xu Liang quickly kowtow: "adults, 80 bars, small available items on the head guarantee, must guarantee the quality and quantity of the task."

Mr. Yang kowtowed, but said, "my Lord, there is no problem for the small old man to complete the 80 pole task. But I don't know, the bonus... "

In the future, the most important work of Yuanqing is to gather all the work of the blacksmith. At this time, in non wartime, all work evaluation is based on quality. As long as you can complete the task with quality and quantity every month, I can assure you that you will not be stingy with rewards. "

"Thank you for your kindness. The little old man will serve you wholeheartedly."

Xu even kowtowed to Li Yuanliang.

"Ha ha. Get up. It's getting late. It's time for us to eat, too. Let's go to the dining hall. It's my treat

The people were overjoyed.

……

The dining hall is in the old camp, which is not far from the blacksmith's shop. Usually, these craftsmen and workers who work in the blacksmith's shop have breakfast in the dining hall, and lunch and dinner are sent by the strong women from the dining hall because they have to work overtime in a hurry.

Today, Li Yuanqing came over and gave them a short holiday. In addition to the soldiers on duty, all the rest went to the dining hall for lunch.

At this time, although there was a shortage of grain on the side of Guanglu Island, Li Yuanqing said that the Zhuang women in charge of the dining hall naturally asked these people to eat enough, and the food was enough.

In Chinese culture, it is often the most effective way to ask for something at the dinner table.

In addition to the blunderbuss, Li Yuanqing also consulted Xu Liang and Mr. Yang about the production technology and time of various weapons such as spears, armor, and knives.

The reason why he gave the blacksmith shop here to reduce the production of bird spears, Li Yuanqing also had a thorough consideration.

The main reason, in addition to the shortage of materials, there is also a big reason is the shortage of young people under Li Yuanqing.

At this time, the young Dingkou under Li Yuanqing's command was just at the beginning of a thousand people.

There are less than 1000 soldiers in the order of War soldiers. It will take some time for the imperial court to award rewards for meritorious deeds. For Mao Wenlong's side, young and strong people will not be removed so soon. After all, Li Yuanqing is only a garrison, and there are many more than 1000 young men and women.

Even if Li Yuanqing is Mao Wenlong's favorite general, these things are not too coveted, including Chen Zhong and Zhang pan.In this way, the production capacity of the blacksmith shop is too high. Instead, it is a waste. It is better to set aside some energy to make weapons such as spears, armor and short knives.

Although firearm is the mainstream of future war, in this era, subject to the development of science and technology tree, it can not blindly pursue firearms.

Even in the Second World War, imps had bayonets on their guns.

Later studies have also shown that the number of bayonet hand to hand combat is even higher than that of all firearm fighting.

At this time, Li Yuanqing's main enemy was the eight banners of Houjin.

It's too big to fight these experienced and brave professional soldiers with basic firearms.

Before the birds and blunderbusses, there must be sufficient protection to ensure that they can be safely exported and complement each other.

In this way, the most suitable protection arm is the Lancer.

Advance can attack, retreat can defend.

To the maximum extent, the available resources of the force can be utilized.

It's just that in terms of armor, there are not too many problems, but there are still a lot of things to discuss and improve in terms of long spears and short knives.

How much is the best scale of the spear? How to design a short knife?

Li Yuanqing also wants to go to the front line of the army and make a decision after careful discussion with soldiers and officers.

As the ancients said, "it's not the number of soldiers, but the essence."

At this time, the resources of Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong's headquarters were too limited.

Just like the island countries of later generations, we must maximize the use of resources.

After lunch, Li Yuanqing, with Xu Liang and Mr. Yang, inspected several iron furnaces and coal and firewood warehouses in the blacksmith's shop. Everything was in good order.

Li Yuanqing is also a little surprised, happened to meet Qu minqiu came to inspect the work, this just solved the doubts.

It turns out that Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu have already gone through a careful division of labor. Zhang yunniang is responsible for coordinating the overall situation, and Qu minqiu is responsible for looking for bu Yilu. Zhang yunniang doesn't understand this blacksmith shop, and Qu minqiu has always arranged it.

Qu minqiu had been in charge of the Zhang's Baofeng hall in Guangning before. She had rich management experience. She used her merchant's style to manage the work of the blacksmith's shop. Naturally, the effect was very good.

In fact, this is just like the state-owned enterprises and the first batch of private emerging enterprises in the early days of later generations. Different profit models are bound to lead to different efficiency.

State owned enterprises, because of the support of policies, have the state to pay for the better, the worse, the more extensive and the more wasteful. However, due to the problem of profit, private enterprises must ensure that the boss makes money, so they will be more strict in management, more firmly control the cost, and the efficiency will naturally be improved.

It was only after the marketization that the difference gradually became smaller.

For example, when these craftsmen worked in the Guangning military storehouse, although there was no shortage of raw materials and advanced equipment, their personal interests could not be guaranteed. Therefore, the state of "no contribution to work" could not be avoided.

At this time, although the resources of the blacksmith shop in Guanglu island was limited and the equipment was not advanced enough, Li Yuanqing could guarantee their own interests. Naturally, they would work harder to make good products to win Li Yuanqing more financial rewards.

This is equivalent to that Li Yuanqing took the lead in privatizing the blacksmith shop in Guanglu Island, even if the order was made by himself.

It was night to leave the blacksmith's and return to the house.

According to the "rotation system", Li Yuanqing will rest here in Qu minqiu tonight.

Although the conditions in Guanglu island are poor, Qu minqiu's living habits are still very delicate. She went to fry a few small dishes and warmed Li Yuanqing with a pot of hot wine. Then, under the service of lotus root, she had dinner with Li Yuanqing.

Frankly speaking, although Li Yuanqing was born in a pure mud leg family, he also enjoyed Qu minqiu's small days with a trace of petty bourgeoisie sentiment. He had a comfortable and comfortable meal.

In the evening, he finished his routine work, handed in public grain, and lay in Qu minqiu's warm quilt. Only then did Li Yuanqing have time to talk to Qu minqiu in private.

"Minqiu, have you heard from your brother? When will that batch of grain and grass come over? " Li Yuanqing hugs Qu minqiu's slender waist road.

Although Qu minqiu has been "killed" in the fire in the Zhangjia compound of Guangning City, she has always maintained contact with the Qu family as another status of the grand clan in Guanglu island.

This is what Li Yuanqing did deliberately.

After all, liaohao merchants are not good at making money, even though they have limited credibility in this era.

Li Yuanqing also needs them to provide some basic exchange for his side.

Qu minqiu said: "this year's grain harvest is not good. Now it's not time for the next new grain. The Qu family doesn't have much grain, so they have to supply it there first. Yuanqing, I estimate that it may not be until the end of March or the beginning of April that big brother can come over. "

Li Yuanqing nodded. It's human nature for the Qu family to guarantee their regular customers first.After all, compared with those big heads, Li Yuanqing's goods of 20000 Liang silver are too insignificant.

At this time, it was the end of February and lasted for more than a month. Li Yuanqing had some difficulties, but he was not unable to insist.

"By the way, minqiu, how much money do I have in my account now?"

There are not many literate people under Li Yuanqing's command. Shang Laoliu knows a few words, but it's obviously far fetched to make accounts. After Qu minqiu came to Guanglu Island, she did all the work, and she was able to do it. After all, it was Li Yuanqing's taboo.

Qu minqiu thought for a moment and bit his lips gently, "Yuanqing, now you only have more than 21000 Liang silver. If we pay for the grain trade, we will have less than 3000 Liang left. "
