Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 365

On the other side of the warehouse, there are piles of iron objects that Qin Feng asked the soldiers to collect.

These ironware are all of the kind that are not used in daily life, and they are placed in a pile in a mess.

"Not bad, it's almost there."

Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction, and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a figure walking in from outside the door.

The two met face to face, and Qin Feng recognized the identity of the other party, which turned out to be Zhang Aolong.

"General Zhang, long time no see."

Qin Feng didn't expect to meet Zhang Aolong here, so he immediately laughed and said hello to Zhang Aolong.

But Zhang Aolong's expression looked a little embarrassed.

He has been questioning Qin Feng's decision before, but every time Qin Feng does something, he can surprise him.

"It turned out to be Lord Qin. You didn't say anything when you came back. You brought so much food this time. You can be said to be the lifesaver of Black Creek City. I should thank you very much."

"Haha, general, what are you talking about? I just came back to the city, and I haven't had time to find you yet."

Qin Feng made a haha, but the atmosphere became awkward at this moment.

It's not right for him to leave now, but he doesn't know what to say if he stays here.

It was Zhang Aolong who broke the calm first: "Lord Qin, all the things you want have been brought back. But there is less than a month left before the arrival of the barbarian army..."

Although he had already had the will to die before, and wanted to fight the barbarian army forever, but now that he saw hope, he certainly couldn't die again.

Before, Qin Feng said that he would use the ballista to deal with the barbarian army, but now it is not long, and he has not seen a single ballista, so he is inevitably a little worried.

"Master Qin, when do you plan to start making ballistas?"

Zhang Aolong's expression was a little dignified.

But Qin Feng just smiled: "Don't worry, general, since I have arranged these things, I naturally have a plan in mind."

"As the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood. Before doing something, you still have to make preparations."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Zhang Aolong was not relieved, but Qin Feng had done things like this before, and everything was arranged in an orderly manner, so of course he couldn't point fingers.

After the two chatted casually for a few more words, Qin Feng left the warehouse.

Although what he said to Zhang Aolong just now was that sharpening knives is not a mistake in chopping firewood, but he is also very clear that the day when the barbarian army arrives is getting closer, and now the progress must be accelerated.

Ironware is just needed, so no matter how many reserves there are, it is not too much, but these woods are enough, and it is useless to store more.

So Qin Feng asked people to call back all the troops who went to cut trees.

As for the silver brought back by Qin Feng, it was not placed in this warehouse, but was placed in Lin Song's residence by Ling Chong.

Qin Feng did not get the money to fill his own pockets.

He also found several officers who were in charge of collecting iron objects. Before he left, he asked these soldiers to write down the origin of these iron objects when they collected them.

When the officers heard that Qin Feng was looking for him, they rushed over quickly.

But as soon as they entered the door, they saw several large boxes beside Qin Feng. The boxes were opened, revealing the glistening silver inside.

Where have they seen so much money, they were naturally taken aback: "My lord, you... are you?"

Qin Feng didn't take this matter to heart, but asked lightly: "When I asked you to collect iron objects, you should also squeeze out who these iron objects come from and how much they weigh. Did you follow through?"

"Of course, we must do our best to do what Master Qin told us."

The officers didn't know what Qin Feng meant, but they still replied respectfully.

"Very good, then you take out the account books you wrote down and calculate the accounts, and give them all the money you should give."

"What... what?"

Several military officers were surprised. They were not surprised that Qin Feng could spend so much money. After all, there are many officials who have embezzled much more money than this.

But these iron objects were collected and used by the soldiers of Black Creek City. It is very rare for Qin Feng to spend his own money to buy them.

They already admired Qin Feng very much, but now it is like a torrential river, continuous, and like the Yellow River flooding, it is out of control.

Seeing that the eyes of these people looking at him were full of little stars, Qin Feng couldn't help feeling a chill.

If these people are big girls who are like flowers and jade, then Qin Feng is of course happy, but a group of old men look at him with stars, then Qin Feng can't accept it.

But before letting these people leave, Qin Feng did not forget to tell them to give more money to these common people when they were counting the money.

Now the price of iron in the market is five renminbi a catty, so Qin Feng simply asked them to give it a price of seven renminbi.

Anyway, the money is not his own, and he doesn't feel bad about spending it.

Even if it is placed in the treasury of Bincheng, it will be embezzled by Li Jianghe sooner or later. It is better to use this money to really do something for the people.

After these people left, the soldiers responsible for cutting down the trees had also been summoned back.

Only then did Qin Feng go out, leading them to the location of the warehouse just now.

The soldiers were a little confused, not knowing what Qin Feng wanted them to do.

When everyone came to the door of the warehouse, Qin Feng stopped.

Before, Zhang Aolong gave Qin Feng 500 people for his use, 1000 of them were responsible for collecting ironware, and the remaining 500 people were all in front of Qin Feng.

Because the wood is enough, Qin Feng also let them not continue to cut down trees.

However, the role of these woods is to make ballistas, but the accessories of ballistas need to be absolutely accurate, such things are definitely not something that ordinary people can do well.

In Black Creek City, apart from Wei Quanyou, a blacksmith, there is no other available person.

If Wei Quan was expected to make so many crossbows by himself, he probably wouldn't be able to do it even if he was exhausted.

And an idea that Qin Feng had a long time ago can finally be realized now.

Through the assembly line production of machine tools, things that cannot be done by manpower can be easily done.

Moreover, Qin Feng has already prepared the parts of the machine tool, but he has not brought them out for a long time, because the most important part of the machine tool-the power source is still missing.

But now, Qin Feng has thought of an alternative.
