Chapter 172 Reform

Zhang Lang came to the armor workshop under the guidance of the factory manager. The sound of beating on the scene was deafening. Thousands of craftsmen were creating the main armor of the new type of plate armor! Zhang Lang picked up a pair of completed armor from a table next to him, and felt heavier than the previous heavy armor. So he asked the person in charge: "How heavy is this armor?"

"Fifty-three kilograms! Ten kilograms heavier than the previous plate armor!" the person in charge replied.

“How effective is the defense?”

The person in charge said proudly: "Bows and arrows cannot penetrate at all. Even strong crossbows must be penetrated at a very close distance! The defense effect is much better than the previous plate armor!"

“How many sets are there now?”

"According to the lord's request, we are fully producing. Now there are 3,000 sets, and it will be increased to 6,000 sets in the spring next year!"

Zhang Lang nodded, "Very good! With this kind of armor, our heavy cavalry will be more powerful!"

Then Zhang Lang visited several other places, including those who produce weapons and those who produce siege equipment. There was a scene of enthusiasm everywhere, and Zhang Lang's arrival did not disrupt the rhythm here! There were loud noises everywhere, bundles of weapons and armor were constantly transported to the warehouse. In addition to these equipment used by single people, there were also heavy equipment similar to bed crossbows, detachable catapult cars and other heavy equipment!

Zhang Lang was taken to a yard by Huang Yueying. It was not as enthusiastic as other places. Hundreds of craftsmen sat neatly in front of hundreds of neatly placed tables, just like students in class, burying their homework in front of them. However, their homework was not a matter of articles, but a small crossbow. The craftsmen carefully assembled various components and then debugged them, as if they were doing a model aircraft. This crossbow is actually a kind of crossbow, which fired special steel arrows and could load ten crossbow arrows at a time. This is actually the Zhuge crossbow in history. The so-called Zhuge crossbow was invented by Zhuge Liang's wife Huang Yueying. Of course, Huang Yueying is no longer Zhuge Liang's wife!

Huang Yueying took a crossbow full of crossbow arrows from a staff member, turned around and handed it to Zhang Lang. Zhang Lang took the crossbow, weighed it for a while, and felt very heavy. He held it up and pulled the pull rod above to the tree trunk that was more than twenty steps away. Bang! A crossbow arrow suddenly flew out of the arrow box and nailed it to the trunk, resetting the pull rod, and then pulling the pull rod, and the second crossbow arrow flew out again!

Zhang Lang laughed, "Okay! Good thing! Sister Yueying, you are so amazing! You can actually invent such a powerful weapon!"

Huang Yueying smiled slightly. She glanced at the crossbow in Zhang Lang's hand and frowned slightly, saying, "It's a pity that the power of this crossbow is a little less! It's useless beyond fifty steps, and it cannot penetrate thick armor! You need to soak the arrows in venom to exert their power!"

Zhang Lang returned the crossbow to the staff, walked to Huang Yueying and smiled, "It's already very good! If this crossbow has the power of a powerful crossbow, wouldn't it be impossible for people to live!" Huang Yueying smiled and thought, "Although it is impossible to make a powerful crossbow that can be used alone, it seems that it can be used on the crossbow." Huang Yueying fell into deep thought and completely threw her elder brother behind her. This was a glance at all real scientists. Once she thought of some problems in scientific research, she would immediately enter the state and forget about the things around her.

Huang Yueying suddenly ran into the drawing room, and the staff quickly made way out. Huang Yueying spread the rice paper on the work desk and began to draw.

Zhang Lang was very curious and came behind Huang Yueying. She saw that she was on the rice paper with complex straight lines and curves, which seemed to be a decomposition diagram of various parts of a bed crossbow, but it looked even more complicated.

Zhang Lang waited for more than half an hour, Huang Yueying was busy, stood up, and said excitedly: "Okay!"

Zhang Lang stretched his head forward and looked at it, "What is this? It seems to be a bed crossbow?"

Huang Yueying smiled with a pursed lips, "Brother is right! But it's not all right! This is not an ordinary bed crossbow. I've used the principle of the crossbow!"

Zhang Lang was stunned, "What do you mean is this bed crossbow can be shot continuously?"

Huang Yueying nodded.

Zhang Lang became excited and turned his head to the factory manager and said, "Make the samples as soon as possible according to the drawings. Once the production is done, send someone to notify me immediately." "No."

Zhang Lang looked at Huang Yueying and said with emotion: "Sister Yueying, you are not only a female Zhuge, but also a female doctor!"

Huang Yueying smiled with a pursed lips.

Zhang Lang looked at her smiling face and couldn't help but think: Although talented women are ugly, Sister Yueying's wisdom and beauty coexist! Her appearance is no less than Diao Chan and the others, but her wisdom is no less than Zhuge Liang and Jia Wenhe!

When Huang Yueying saw Zhang Lang staring at him, she looked drooling, and her delicate face turned red, shy and happy. She subconsciously reached out to stroke her hair on her temples.

The entire Lu Bu legion temporarily stopped the war. According to the plan of Zhang Lang and the counselors, it would take at least half a year to rest. During this period, the legions stepped up training. In order to enhance the combat effectiveness of the army, Zhang Lang issued new reward and punishment regulations, which further clarified and refined the system of rewarding military merits and handling measures that violated military law. In order to ensure that the military law can be implemented effectively, Zhang Lang specially established a Ministry of Military Law directly, which was specifically responsible for reward and punishment. In addition, he imitated the political commissar system of later generations, and concentrated training of a group of particularly loyal and thoughtful officers, and then assigned to each army. They did not get involved in specific training and command tasks. They had only one task, instilling the idea of ​​loyalty and daring to fight in the officers and soldiers.

While the army was undergoing rest and training, the government work was also in full swing. The government structures in various places were reformed and some powers were reclaimed. The most important reform was to abolish the real power of the governor. The governors of a state had no full efforts to manage the local governments. Their pointing was to supervise the governance of the county governments. At the request of Zhang Lang, the governors' work was tilted towards anti-corruption. The management powers of the local governments fell on the shoulders of the county prefect. At the same time, the powers of the county prefect were also separated. He could only manage civil affairs. The local public security was managed by the county magistrate, the local finance was managed by the treasury, and the militarized training and preparation of the local people were managed by Sima. The four aspects performed their duties and did not interfere with each other, and formed a restraint. Moreover, they were also subject to the supervision of the governor, and the governor had the power to impeach the local officials.
