In the years of ancient traders

The little general's bow horse riding and shooting has always been top-notch, they have never seen him so outrageously deflected, even when he first started learning.

The soldiers in Xiying had little contact with Song Anan, so they were not very surprised.But the eyes of the soldiers in the northern battalion were about to pop out.

Is this still their little general who pierces Yang with a hundred steps?

Back then, even if his brother Yin Sheng was tied to the target, the little general could calmly shoot the apple on his head.But now it's just a pass, and the shot misses so far.

The soldiers of the Northern Camp looked at Song Shu and Anan with complicated eyes, heartbroken.

Their little general has been kicked... No, no, their little general has grown up and can beat cabbage.

Song Shu and Anan on the side were unconscious.

"You missed the shot." Song Shu said.

"Accident." Song Anan insisted, if someone hadn't suddenly said that Song Shu was coming, how could he have made a mistake, "Come again!" He picked up the bow again.

"I said don't worry." Song Shu pulled him back, "I have a paper armor here. If you can shoot through it with an arrow, I will admit that you are good at archery."

"What's the difficulty?" Song Anan took the bow and walked towards the school grounds.

The paper armor brought by Song Shu was put on the scarecrow and replaced it with an arrow target.

Song Anan stood still, drew his bow, and took aim.

With a whoosh, the arrow flew out.

What Song Anan used was not the standard bow and arrow in the army, but the heavy bow he captured during the battle. This bow is very heavy, and the arrows it shoots are faster and stronger than the standard bow. A scarecrow like this can easily shoot a pair wear.

The arrow flew out with lightning speed, and the tip of the arrow was nailed to the straw man, but it didn't shoot the scarecrow right through as imagined.

Song Anan frowned, gestured, and immediately a soldier ran to check.

"Report to the little general, the arrow penetrated half an inch into the armor." The soldier put the arrow and the paper armor with both hands, and saw that there was indeed a hole in the paper armor, but it was only half an inch, and it did not completely penetrate the paper armor.

Hearing this, the old general came over immediately and took the paper armor from Anan's hand for a closer look.

"It really is a good armor!" Yin Rong has been in the army for many years and has researched all kinds of armor. This paper armor can prevent Xiao Min's arrow, which is comparable to iron armor!If it is an ordinary standard arrow, I am afraid that it will be unscathed and only suffer a little impact.

It was indeed a good armor, Song Anan knew it when the bow and arrow shot out.

It is of course a good thing to be able to get this armor in the army, but first I missed my shot, and then my arrow was blocked by the armor, so I didn't show one ten-thousandth of my archery skills, so I was really upset.

"Song Silang, is this armor of yours likely to be mass-produced? Is it expensive?" Yin Rong had already pulled Song Shu to ask.

"Aye, let's talk in the tent." Yin Heng said.Although they are all their own people here, it is better to keep a low profile about the armor.

"Yes, yes, let's go." Yin Rong took the lead to walk to the big tent.

Song Silang didn't follow him, so he found an excuse and went to Song Anan who was following him.

"Don't be sad, I know your shooting skills are very good." Song Shu hooked his neck.

"I'm not sad." Song Anan turned his head, no one said he was sad.

"Isn't there really? It seems that I am being sentimental, so I take back what I just said." Song Shu said.

"No." Song Anan immediately turned his head and said eagerly.

He's not upset, but he's a good shooter!

Song Shu didn't want to laugh at first, but when Song Anan turned around, he couldn't hold back anymore, he pursed his lips and laughed out loud.

what's so funny.Song Anan turned his head to look at the ground, but he was reluctant to remove his arm from his shoulder.

"Your ears are red." Song Shu said again.

"No."

Song Anan's ears were completely red.

"The main materials of this paper armor are paper, kapok, silk cloth and inch nails. The cost is not high, and it can be mass-produced just by making an assembly line." In the big tent, Song Shu talked about paper armor to Yin Rong As for the matter, "as long as the general is willing to use Song Ji's paper, I will be happy to tell you all about the manufacturing method, and send the masters in my workshop to train armor-making workers for the general."

"No problem." Yin Rong readily agreed.

Song Ji's paper is good and cheap, even if Song Shu didn't mention it, he would still use Song Ji's paper.Inch nails and silk cloth are also easy. They Yicheng Army already has an iron mine, so there is no shortage of iron, and silk cloth is produced from the mediocrity accumulated in the past.It's just that there are no growers in Yicheng Seven States, so there are still some troubles.

"The general doesn't have to worry about the kapok. There are many people who plant it in the Jianghuai area. As long as the price is reasonable, they will definitely receive it." Song Shu said, and he took out another piece of paper, "This is the geographical location of Baijia Village, General You can send someone to look for Bai Yicheng in this village, he once came to my Xianghe village to sell kapok, and he has some friendship with me."

"Very good! Heng'er, let you handle this matter." Yin Rong said.

The day before yesterday, he played the sand table repeatedly, worrying about the imminent war. Today, he got such a good armor, which is really God's help.With this, all his Yicheng soldiers can wear protective gear, and the casualties can be greatly reduced.

"As the order continues, the matter of Zhijia must not be circulated or discussed, and anyone who violates it will be punished as a traitor!" Yin Rong said.

"Yes!"

To solve a major worry, the New Year's Eve dinner that day was very comfortable.

Song Shu brought three big pots of boiled base ingredients and mixed it with the beef bone soup made in the army, and the aroma of spicy butter hot pot filled the entire camp.

People in the army are bold, and they are also bold when eating hot pot.

The copper pots brought by Song Shu were limited, so they set up the big iron pots they usually use, and put a fire under them, and they ate the meat directly.

The fire under the iron pot was burning very vigorously. Some people thought that the chopsticks were too short to avoid burning themselves, and they were a little worried.Later, I don't know who broke off the branches and cut them into long sticks, skewered the meat, vegetables and threw them into the pot to cook.

Others saw that this method was very convenient, and they all picked up branches one after another.

Maybe the earliest skewers were eaten like this.Seeing this, Song Shu couldn't help thinking.

After New Year's Eve, it is unavoidable to walk around to pay New Year's greetings.Song Shu's status in Hengzhou City has risen, and since the beginning, there has been an endless stream of people who have come to pay New Year's greetings.He also went back to Xianghe Village, visited Mr. Fu and others, and personally distributed red envelopes to the employees in the workshop of Xianghe Village. He was busy until the fifteenth day.

At this time, Yin Heng had finished the matter of kapok, and received a large amount of kapok from Baijia Village and surrounding villages.

He split a piece of land behind the barracks, invited Yan Zhuo to design, and followed Song Shu to build a workshop.After the kapok was transported back, Song Shu brought his Grandma Liu and a blacksmith to the barracks. It was the two of them working together, together with the information provided by Song Shu, that made the paper armor comparable to iron armor.

That's all for the blacksmith. When he saw Grandma Liu, Yin Heng was obviously taken aback.

"Song Silang is really... not sticking to one pattern and descending to talents." Yin Heng said.

"Grandma Liu was originally the manager of my silk quilt workshop. Some processes of this paper armor are somewhat similar to quilt making, so I asked her to help. Thanks to her rich experience, she gave many useful suggestions." Song Shu said.

"Come inside." With Song Shu's words, Yin Heng paid more attention to these two people and hurriedly invited them to sit inside.

In order to prevent the craftsmanship from being spread, Yin Heng did not recruit workers from the outside, and directly recruited a group of soldiers to fill in, and each group of workers was only responsible for one part of the process, and Yuan Sanlang was in charge of supervising the work, so as to ensure that the craftsmanship would not be spread to the greatest extent.

As for the two people brought by Song Shu, Yin Heng had no choice but to ask them to live in the army temporarily.

After the Chinese New Year, Anan often had to go back to the military camp, and Song Shu sometimes went there with him.

While Anan trained soldiers, he wandered around the paper armor workshop.

After the Qingming Festival, it was time for cotton planting. Song Shu went back to Xianghe Village, Siping Village, Wu'an Village and other places to find many families who were willing to grow cotton, and agreed on the purchase price in the coming year.

After more than half a year of research and production, from the cotton gin to the loom, Song Shu has a complete set of brand-new machinery for weaving cotton cloth, and made several sets of clothes with the cotton collected from Yin's garden at that time.

Everyone in the Song family has them, and he also sent gifts to Xie Wan, Shen Qing, Shopkeeper Tang, Shopkeeper Wang, Fu Wen, Yin Rong, etc. The name of Songji cotton cloth has spread quietly in Hengzhou City, and many people have come to inquire about it Ordering, Song Shu's cotton has not been planted yet, and it is no longer worrying about sales.

In the past few months, the Yin family's paper armor workshop has been working day and night, and tens of thousands of sets of paper armor have been produced, which have been distributed to Yicheng troops stationed in various places from far to near.

When Song Shu went to Beiying again, the last batch of paper armor happened to be shipped, and the soldiers in Beiying also put on new armor.

"Hey! Ha!"

On the school field, slogans were shouted loudly, and all the soldiers were wearing uniform paper armor, wielding their spears, and were practicing formations.

Song Anan stood on the high platform, holding the command flag.

Seeing Song Shu approaching, he made a pause gesture, handed the command flag to Duwei Yuan, and walked over by himself.

"Are you okay these few days?" Song Shu asked, Song Anan hadn't come home for more than ten days, maybe he did, but only returned after he fell asleep, and left before he woke up, it was very hard .

"Yes." Song Anan nodded.

While the two were talking, a fast horse galloped from outside the camp and rushed directly into the camp.

The rehearsal on the school grounds stopped, and the soldiers cleaning their swords and arranging their armor also stopped their work at the same time, and all eyes were on the galloping man and horse.

"Little General, Zhonghua Jiedu Envoy, Qiong'an Jiedu Envoy, and Lide Jiedu Envoy have jointly invaded. The Guanzhong army has approached Hengzhou. The old general has an order to break out of the camp immediately!"

The military situation was urgent, Song Anan didn't even have time to say a word to Song Shu, and immediately started to organize the army.

The northern camp and the western camp were pulled out at the same time, and the people inside and outside the city also smelled something strange, and panicked for a while.

Yin Heng led the defenders to sit in Hengzhou, Yin Rong led the Western Battalion to the western border, and joined the local garrison to meet the imperial court, while Song Anan led the army to the northeast to confront the coalition forces of the Jiedushi of the three places.

Song Shu followed Yin Heng to the city wall, and Song Anan rode a war horse, all in armor.

The army had already moved ahead, Song Anan was the last, and looked back at the city wall.The setting sun dyed his side face red, and the red tassels on the top of the helmet were flying. He took a deep look at the people on the city wall, rode his horse and swung his whip, and galloped away.

"Don't worry, we will win." Yin Heng patted Song Shu on the shoulder heavily.

Song Anan's figure had disappeared.

"Of course." Song Shu said.

The author has something to say:

Cheer for Anan, and reward you for falling in love if you win!

Thank you for your support, okay~
