The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

After coming out of the armory, they were ready to leave.

After walking around here, Li Wen had a rough idea of ​​some problems. Only by implementing the reward system can they mobilize people's enthusiasm.In addition, we have to work hard to find talents in this field. It is best to cultivate a group of professional technical talents in weapon production, so that they can have a steady stream of scientific and technological talents to support them.

The former is easy to deal with, but for the latter, there are very few talents in this area in future generations.

Not to mention this era when weapons and technology are still very backward.

"Well, I will tell the people below to do it." Zhao Xiangyi understood the importance of this matter.

As a military commander leading troops, Zhao Xiangyi naturally supports the construction of this arsenal very much. He knows the importance of weapons. The Northwest Army uses outdated weapons and weapons. In the past few years, it is not to say that the imperial court is in arrears with the Northwest Army. None of the supplies.Over the years, the barbarians in the northwest have been restless, and people from both sides often fight. The weapons that the army needs are all solved by themselves.

Officials in the court are all corrupt, and it is not bad that [-]% of the silver taels approved by the court to purchase military supplies end up at the bottom, and [-]% of them are distributed by officials at various levels.Does the emperor really not know these things?If these matters need to be investigated, most of the officials in the DPRK and China will be investigated and dealt with. This will inevitably shake the foundation and foundation of the entire success.

Now the emperor ordered him to build this weapon workshop. If the court can build better weapons by itself, it will not only stop some officials from extracting money and benefits from purchasing military supplies, but the most important thing is to create a batch of really useful weapons. Weapons are provided to the soldiers in the army.

It is rare that they left the city to come here today, the camp here is not far from the past.

While helping Li Wen get into the carriage, Zhao Xiangyi suddenly asked, "This is not far from the camp, do you want to visit the camp?" He is currently in charge.

"Can I go?" Li Wen's eyes lit up.

He really wanted to take a look at Daying, after all, it was the place where his men worked, and he hadn't been there yet.But is it really okay for him to go to the military camp as a civil servant?

"Why not?" Zhao Xiangyi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Haha, of course we're going! Let's go." Li Wen took Zhao Xiangyi's hand and got into the carriage. Zhao Xiangyi followed suit and told the driver in front to go to the camp.The vegetation on both sides of the road was lush and green, and a carriage was ahead, heading for the gate of the barracks.

The guards at the gate of the barracks saw that it was their general who was coming, so they didn't stop him and let him go.

_--''

The soldiers on the playground were practicing. When Li Wen got off the carriage, he saw the soldiers practicing not far away. This was the first time he had come to the army. Hearing the sound of drills made people feel heartbroken. I couldn't help feeling a burst of pride.He was invited into the big tent, and at first glance, the big tent was the place where the lieutenant general lived. There were only a few tables and chairs in it, and there were no other furnishings.

"Have a cup of tea." Zhao Xiangyi asked someone to serve tea. The army is full of rough tea, and there is no good tea.

Li Wen picked up the tea and took a sip. It was worse than the tea His Royal Highness invited him to drink, not at 01:30, but he didn't mean to dislike it. The rough tea has its uniqueness... He saw that Zhao Xiangyi was bored when he drank tea No matter what good tea comes to these rough people, it is a waste of good things.

Compared with tea, this person probably prefers to drink more. It just so happens that a batch of wine brewed a while ago is good. When I find a time, I can take it out for everyone to drink.

"General, I heard that Master Li is here."

Before the person arrives, the voice arrives first.

When Xie Yunfei heard that their boss brought Li Liuyuan over, he ran over in a panic.

As soon as he opened the curtain and came in, he saw Li Liuyuan sitting in the big tent. This was the first time Li Liuyuan came back to their camp. Xie Yunfei couldn't hide his surprise, and said, "Li Liuyuan came to our camp. Daying is really full of splendor."

"Haha, don't dare dare." Li Wen and Xie Yunfei are old acquaintances, and he knew that this was to welcome him to the camp. He explained, "We just went to the Armory Workshop, and we came to you by the way. have a look."

"Boss, if you hadn't informed us earlier, if you had told me earlier, I would have taken people to the gate to line up to welcome Li Liuyuan." Xie Yunfei sat down at the vacant seat next to Li Wen, and when he saw Li Wen, he was full of stomachache If you want to talk to Li Wen.

Zhang Mingyu and Shan Cong outside knew that Mr. Li was coming, and all the soldiers who had gone hunting and drinking with Mr. Li ran over, and a small tent was immediately full of people.Zhao Xiangyi has black lines on his face

, ordered people to be thrown out.

This group of talents left reluctantly, and each of them winked at Master Li before leaving.

Li Wen couldn't help but smile, these critters!

"Don't worry about these boys, let's talk about business." Xie Yunfei knew that Li Wen had just come from the armory workshop. The armory workshop was built on the side of the camp, and their little general was in charge of it. Some things still went through. With his hands, Xie Yunfei naturally knew everything in the workshop clearly.

And the idea of ​​the Armory Workshop was proposed by Li Wen, there is no better person than to discuss this matter with the owner who originally proposed the plan.

As soon as this topic was discussed, the two talked about coal and blowers from the forging method of steel, and how to save time and manpower to create better steel knives. Xie Yunfei learned a lot of things, and he was slightly interested in the manufacture of weapons. I have learned some of these things before.

And Li Wen was a military fan in his previous life, and knew a little about ancient weapons.

The use of steel in later generations has been very extensive. Of course, steel forging in this era relies on manpower, which is completely incomparable with the production of steel in later generations that relies on machines.

Talking about bows and crossbows, Li Wen mentioned the sight, "If there is such a thing, as long as it is within the range of the bow and crossbow, let's not say that we can make white hair miss, at least it can increase the hit rate by more than [-]%! Even better, it can reach [-]%, or a higher probability than [-]%..."

"Is there really such a magical thing?" I didn't expect Xie Yunfei to be very interested in the scope.

Because not everyone is a sharpshooter like General Zhao, and Junshi Xie is a weak chicken who can't even shoot arrows. If there is such a blessed artifact, he, a flesh-footed military division, can become a sharpshooter!

So, thank you? Weak foot? Can the strategist not be interested in this?

The two chatted enthusiastically from the scope to the mirror. Li Wen mentioned the concave mirror and the convex mirror. In fact, it is very simple to use a mirror to polish the concave and convex surfaces. The middle is protruding outward, one side is concave inward, one side can shrink big things, and the other can enlarge small things... You can imagine, if we have such a mirror installed on the crossbow, we It is completely possible to aim at the enemy and shoot the arrow at the enemy without the enemy's defense."

"The mirror I'm talking about is not the bronze mirror that women and ladies use today, but a...transparent, higher-definition mirror, let's call it glass."

Of course, the mirror he was talking about was not the bronze mirror used by the ladies nowadays, but the glass mirror of later generations. "Isn't it a bronze mirror?...Glass...a mirror?" Xie Yunfei didn't say he had read the whole book, but he had read quite a few books. He had never heard of the mirror Li Wen mentioned, but if there was such a mirror , can zoom in on enemies thousands of miles away, and capture people who are invisible to the naked eye into the lens. This... really kills enemies thousands of miles away!

If the two armies are facing each other, they can find the commander of the enemy army from a high place, let people hide in the dark, and kill the commander invisibly!Once you shoot the commander, you can hit the morale of the enemy army before the battle and increase the chances of victory for our army...

Thinking of this, Junshi Xie's face turned red, all because of being too excited, "Tell me quickly, what is this glass mirror, and where did you see it? Is there really such a thing?"

"...how did you get it?"

Is there really such a thing?That must be there!

Have you ever seen it?That must have been seen before!Not only has he seen it, but he has used it! ...It's just that this is something that only later generations have.

Li Wen has a general memory of making glass mirrors. There are so many glass products in later generations that even small family workshops can make glass mirrors. It is not difficult for future generations to make mirrors.But for this era when there are no conditions, it is a bit difficult to make a mirror. He only remembers a general idea, and he stuttered to say what he remembered, "...I have been in a long time I read it in a book before, and I don’t remember where I went to that book, but these few things are probably needed to make a mirror.”

Also, if they can make mirrors, in addition to being used for making weapons, another advantage is that they can be sold for money! "As long as this thing can be manufactured, the production cost will not be too high... Girls love beauty, and the ladies in Beijing will definitely like it very much. At that time, we can produce it in large quantities and sell it at a high price? '

At that time, why worry about not having money to invest in the arsenal?As long as there are a few ways to get money, the operation of the military workshop will not need to be allocated by the imperial court in the future, and it will be able to operate by itself, and maybe even make a fortune!

"Am I right?"

"That's right, that's right!" But Xie Yunfei's mind is a bit different from ordinary people, and he is very interested in these strange and skillful things.No, the two of them got out of control as soon as they chatted, and completely forgot that there was a big living person sitting next to them.

General Zhao who was left hanging aside, "..."

Zhao Xiangyi began to regret bringing Li Wen to the barracks, where would he go, he had to come to the barracks? !No, this time I met Xie Yunfei, a dog-headed military adviser, and saw two people who were chatting enthusiastically, and didn't even give him a straight look.The most important thing is that he can't understand half of what these two people are talking about!
