"Liangzi, do your best. I know your skills. We have been hunting birds since we were young, and no one is more accurate than you. I believe in you!"
Quanzi Village.
In the newly expanded simple shooting range behind Li Yuanjing's old house.
Li Yuanjing patted Zhang Liang's shoulder heavily and looked at him with tenderness and hope.
"My boss..."
Zhang Liang's eyes were red with excitement. He wanted to say something, but couldn't.
actually.
When he was a child, his relationship with Li Yuanjing was not very good.
The main reason is that Li Yuanjing is a student, he is aloof and poor, and he has been studying in the county. This always makes Zhang Liang, an aboriginal boy who only knows how to catch birds and fish, feel very uncomfortable.
Including later when he went to work in the county town, he always wanted to get ahead and put Li Yuanjing under pressure.
But after his accident, his character was completely different from before!
Especially as Li Yuanjing is getting higher and higher now, let alone competing with Li Yuanjing, he is almost out of reach even when he looks up.
Who would have thought.
At this time, Li Yuanjing actually trusted him so much regardless of what he did when he was younger.
"OK."
"Then you practice hard and come to me anytime if you need anything!"
Seeing that Zhang Liang had been successfully subdued by him, Li Yuanjing was so excited that he couldn't control himself. Li Yuanjing smiled and patted his shoulder, then went to call Mao Fugui, Zhao Zengjin, Mao Xiaocao and others to gather together.
road:
"Xiaocao, I see you usually pack gunpowder. This is all based on experience, right?"
"Hey, yes, sir..."
Mao Xiaocao couldn't keep up with Li Yuanjing's rhythm for a while, so he nodded subconsciously.
Li Yuanjing smiled:
"Xiaocao, this is what I think. You have a lot of experience and are familiar with it, but for novices like Liangzi, I'm afraid it will be difficult. If you get nervous, there may be a risk of the barrel exploding."
"Do you think this is okay?"
"Based on your experience, let's choose the most suitable weight of gunpowder and wrap it in oil paper. Then when it's time to use it, just open the oil paper and pour it into the fire door."
"This will eliminate the risk and increase the accuracy of the novices, right?"
"Forehead?"
"this……"
Mao Xiaocao was stunned for a moment. She was young after all. She seemed to have figured out something, but she was slightly missing the mark.
But beside.
Risking wealth, adults like Zhao Zengjin quickly understood the logic and were shocked beyond measure.
Especially when he risked his wealth, he knelt down on the ground with a 'plop' and kowtowed to Li Yuanjing desperately:
"My master is so talented, my master is so talented!"
"I'm afraid only gods can think of this kind of method. If it can be done like this, we novices like fire guns will be able to take shape in at least ten days."
Mao Xiaocao finally reacted at this time, knelt down in front of Li Yuanjing with great admiration and kowtowed:
"My boss is such a talented person, Xiaocao admires..."
not far away.
Although Zhang Liang and other recruits couldn't quite understand what was going on, they could not help but feel more awe and admiration for Li Yuanjing when they saw Ma Fugui and the others looking at Li Yuanjing with such excitement and admiration.
Zhang Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and his mouth was filled with silent bitterness.
No wonder.
No wonder people say you must study.
It's funny that I used to foolishly think that even if Zhang Liang didn't study, he could still do well.
But only now does he understand...
How stupid and hopeless he was before...
fine.
The sky could not stop him, but Li Yuanjing pulled him back from hell again...
"OK."
"Since everyone agrees, I will arrange for two girls to come over to help later, and let them be responsible for this matter from now on. Everyone should be busy with their own affairs, and come to me anytime if you need anything!"
When Li Yuanjing saw the faces of the people around him, he couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, and said unhurriedly.
This is the effect he wants!
Don't think that "fixed gunpowder" is just a small trick, but in the history of later generations, this is the essence of countless lessons of blood and tears!
It can even be called a qualitative change in the age of firearms, which greatly improved the killing efficiency of the age of firearms.
At this time, Li Yuanjing asked the elderly Mao Fugui to lead the "Fire Gun Team", which also hinted at Zhang Liang.
With Zhang Liang's temperament and his eldest brother Zhang Kun's fierce rivalry, it would probably take less time than he thought for this 'fire gun team' to take shape!
…
Left the shooting range.
Li Yuanjing went to discuss the further planning of Quanzi Village with the old village chief and several old craftsmen, including the planning of his industrial building complex.
However, Li Yuanjing really wanted to build Quanzi Village into a city scale with all functions similar to the cities of later generations.
In this way, he can advance and attack, retreat and defend, which seems to have more choices and leeway.
However……
Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.
Even though Li Yuanjing had made up his mind to build a brick factory, it was by no means an overnight success.
Especially now.
The external situation is extremely uncertain, and the various functions of Quanzi Village must first be focused on defense and security.
After deliberation for more than half an hour, Li Yuanjing gradually had a plan in his mind after taking into account the opinions of the old village chief and veterans.
A brick house needs to be built, and he, Li Yuanjing, must build it first!
It also needs to be covered with a little more style and beauty!
Because if Li Yuanjing didn't build brick houses first and set an example, how could the common people dare to build them?
How can we use brick and mortar houses to stimulate domestic demand?
However, it is possible to build houses made of bricks and tiles, but it is necessary to stop filling in earth slopes.
Because this is really a bit idealistic, too impractical, and it takes too long!
Mainly, Li Yuanjing now knows better what he needs most.
The first thing to bear the brunt is the warehouse!
Moreover, you can build as many warehouses of various sizes as you can!
Because only by building a warehouse can we store grain and grass, and then we can store some of the things Li Yuanjing wanted to store.
Then there are the dormitories, office areas, including workshops.
Only when the distinction between these things is clearer can efficiency be better improved.
And these things don't have to be made of bricks and tiles.
It is quite economical to construct these with very sticky soil embryos dug out from the trenches of Quanzi Village, plus some wooden beam structures.
And the durability is very good, there will be no problems for twenty or thirty years.
After straightening out his thoughts, Li Yuanjing immediately made the decision!
Because there are other houses on the south, west, and east sides of Li Yuanjing's home slope, although with Li Yuanjing's current influence, demolition is not impossible, but this season, in the depth of winter, demolition seems uneconomical.
To the north of Li Yuanjing's house, although you go down a slightly steep arc and reach the back mountain, the surrounding area is fairly flat.
This requires at least twenty acres of land, and there are several wild springs, so you don’t have to worry about water sources.
So he directly enclosed this piece of land and regarded it as Li Yuanjing's private space.
after all.
It was Li Yuanjing who had the final say on how to build the earth city wall and what scale it should be, and the cost was almost negligible.
The biggest cost of this plan is to build a good road to connect many building groups.
But this is not difficult for Li Yuanjing.
even.
Li Yuanjing took this opportunity to reorganize the defense and security of the entire Quanzi Village, especially on his territory.
After making a plan, in less than half an hour, Li Yuanjing and the old village chief pulled over forty or fifty young men and women from the Beimen construction site and started working directly!
This made Li Yuanjing unable to stop sighing for a moment...
Having money and power is really wonderful, especially in this era...
Even if his status and status were to be the same in later generations, how could he be as good as he is now?
But just when Li Yuanjing's earth wall trench construction was in full swing, Zhang Kun rushed over at the wrong time and reported to Li Yuanjing in a low voice:
"My boss, there have been five or six spies outside since noon. Our people just recognized one of them. He seems to be from Dagou Village..."
"Um?"
Li Yuanjing frowned slightly, but soon he looked relieved and a hint of playfulness appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"It's fine to let the brothers keep an eye on it, but we can't let them in, let alone pry out any information. Do you understand?!"
"clear!"
Zhang Kun perked up and nodded vigorously.
He has been with Li Yuanjing for a long time, and he has a better understanding of Li Yuanjing's thinking. It seems that Li Yuanjing wants to send a wrong signal to Dong Ye!
But when Zhang Kun finished speaking and was about to leave, Chen Chunyan ran over as if she had lost her soul. She literally rolled over and crawled over, shouting in horror:
"Master, something happened again, something big happened again..."
"Second Lady Zhao, Zhao Yinling's grave was dug up this afternoon, and her body was also stolen..."
