"As long as they can join Andong's army, I think they will agree." Yang Renliang was stunned. He originally wanted to bring his brothers with him, but from Lin Dong's meaning, it was not possible.

That's good. You leave their names first. I will arrange for someone to review them. Once they pass, they can be recruited into the army.

Yang Renliang thanked him and asked the team he was going to.

Lin Dong called Xu Hongwei over directly. Yang Renliang was a good seedling. I hope he would learn more from Xu Hongwei. After all, in this era, those noble families had many advantages over ordinary people due to their different family resources.

After seeing Yang Renliang off, Lin Dong returned to the military tent. Shang Ba was already waiting there, and when he saw him coming in, he hurriedly came up to meet him.

"General, Shang has something to report."

"What's the matter?" Lin Dong frowned slightly. Shang Ba came to find him at this time, not knowing what was important.

"The iron ore that the general wants has been purchased and is currently being transported to Haizhou. However, the sea route has not been peaceful during this period, and we happened to offend Huang Xin some time ago. If we go by sea, we will be in trouble." Shang Badao.

"This is indeed a problem. If you take the land route, it will probably affect the progress." Lin Dong fell into deep thought.

"By the way, are there any other businessmen taking this sea route?" Lin Dong had a sudden idea. Although he offended the pirates, not everyone offended them. There are always people who can eat delicious food at the sea.

"Other businessmen? There really is such a group of people." Shang Ba thought for a moment and asked in surprise: "Could it be that the general wants..."

"Yes, we can outsource transportation to them."

Shang Bayi was stunned. He had never thought about this before, but now he suddenly realized when Lin Dong said it.

"Yes, since we can't do it ourselves, why don't we leave this to capable people? This will not only save manpower and material resources but also save a lot of trouble." Shang Ba was also a rolling in the mall. He quickly figured out the joints and admired Lin Dong even more.

"General, don't worry, I will do it immediately and promise to transport the iron ore to the iron plant before the construction of the iron plant starts." Shang Ba said excitedly.

"It's getting late now, so it's not too late to do it tomorrow." Lin Dong ordered.

Shang Ba agreed and said, "This matter is related to the operation of the iron plant, I have to hurry up."

Lin Dong nodded and agreed.

That morning, Lin Dong came to the school again to participate in military training. He has never stopped this period since the last morning exercise.

After this period of continuous training, the training results of Anton's soldiers have gradually been revealed. They were already out of breath after running for a few laps and now they are gradually able to keep up with Lin Dong's footsteps.

At the same time, their tactical training has also made great progress, and the spear phalanx and four-phalanx formations have also been well trained.

Lin Dong had already made arrangements for the whereabouts of these new recruits, that is, to train them into musketeers, so musketeer training is also indispensable.

Unfortunately, due to the production capacity problem, the number of flintlock rifles has not been kept up, so Lin Dong could only ask the soldiers to train with wood-made guns.

At the beginning, the recruits were curious about training, but as time passed, they gradually became lazy, and there were so many movements back and forth all day long. Who wouldn’t be upset to watch?

At this time, the military judge Zhang Tie came in handy. Whenever the training began, he would patrol back and forth with a whip. Whenever he saw someone wandering around, he would love you with a whip. If he accidentally had to review in public, someone would even be locked up in a small dark room.

This series of operations made these recruits hate this iron donkey, but they couldn't do anything about it.

Not to mention that after Zhang Tie's rectification, the training effect has been greatly improved. Because of his existence, no one dared to be absent, so he could only participate in the training wholeheartedly.

After leaving the military camp, Lin Dong headed towards the arsenal. Judging from the current situation, the speed of making guns must be accelerated. Huang Xin's potential crisis has not been resolved yet, and they may make a comeback at any time. He didn't want to eat it if there was not enough guns last time.

The reason why we were able to win the last time was because the batch of firearms brought back from Fengyang. After the last battle in Qushan County, the batch of coercines had been damaged by five or six, and we could never do it again.

Seeing Lin Dong arrive, Bardo seemed very enthusiastic and welcomed him from a distance.

"General, is there anything wrong with coming to the arsenal? Are you planning to negotiate the order?"

"Baldo, I ask you, how many flintlock guns have you produced during this period?"

"General, you know the production capacity of our factory. So far, a total of 150 pieces have been produced."

Lin Dong frowned slightly and asked, "It has been at least ten days since the last battle. Why is this so much?"

"My sir, we have tried our best, but because there are too few workers, the production capacity cannot be increased at all. You know, it takes at least half a day to build a barrel. This is the master, let alone other things..." Bardo shrugged and complained.

Lin Dong thought to himself: This would not work. The war could break out at any time. If there is no weapon at that time, would the soldiers really use their bodies to fight? It seems that the process flow must be improved.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong immediately stood up and walked towards the arsenal.

Soon, they arrived at the factory one after another. At this time, the craftsmen were sweating profusely when they saw Lin Dong coming in and bowing in a hurry.

Lin Dong waved his hand and said, "Dear masters, don't be too polite. Just concentrate on your work, don't delay the construction period."

After such a long time of contact, these craftsmen also understood Lin Dong's temperament, so they stopped persevering after being kind to each other and returned to their posts to continue making guns.

"Mr. Bardo, I think our factory should implement the assembly line production model so that it can improve production capacity." Lin Dong was silent for a while and finally spoke.

"Assembly?" Bardo asked at Lin Dong with confusion.

"Yes, everyone is responsible for one thing. Those physical labor without any technical content can be fully recruited to take responsibility for it. Only those with high technical content can be completed by these masters."

"General, this is a good method. Why didn't we think of this method before? Don't worry, General, I will make arrangements as soon as possible." Bardo slapped his head and rubbed his hair.

As the head of the factory, he naturally has an understanding of processing that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. Lin Dong explained casually, then he understood and became very excited.
