The six-day itinerary was slow. After several girls used rulers to measure the length, width and height of the entire rooftop, the fleet arrived at Wuxuan County, Liuzhou Prefecture, and then walked forward to the Xunzhou Prefecture section. Zhou Shixiong ordered the fleet to station in Wuxuan County, and sent Zhou Er and Liu Wang to Pingxiangzhou by land, informing Huang Chengen to wait for him in Nanning Prefecture. In addition, Zhou Er used Zhou Shixiong's letter to transfer fifty elephants over, and Liu Wang took over Zhoujia Village and Zhoujiazhuang and officially became the butler.

It is not impossible for Zhou Shixiong to second the elephant in Liuzhou Prefecture. The problem is that if you borrow it, you have to pay it back. The imperial envoy does not have the power to borrow things but not repay it. Zhou Shixiong does not have the habit of making wedding dresses for others, and would rather waste some time than suffer this loss.

"Young master, the pulley and crossbow is ready, please go and have a look." The day after he was established, Molan came to report the good news. Molan basically left the maid's job and stared at the craftsman camp every day. If there is any movement, he would come to report the news.

"How is the test shooting effect?" Only by making a new toy will you be able to get a ghost. Zhou Shixiong doesn't need to guess it, you must have tested it.

"The range of 600 meters is flat, the range of 30 degrees upward is 800 meters, and the range of 45 degrees is 1,100 meters." Molan held a small notebook and carefully checked it before reporting. Zhou Shixiong thought that it would be good to have a long range, but the problem is that it would be boring if the shooting accuracy is poor.

"Okay, go and see what they are like." Zhou Shixiong took Molan Mozhu Zhu Ying off the boat and went to the temporary camp near the dock to see new weapons. The imperial envoy was of course very strict security. Liuzhou Prefecture sent a guard guard to be responsible for security work. Zhou Shixiong's quasi-elementary guards were training, and the person responsible for training was Founder. Zhou Shixiong originally planned to chemistry with Founder Qigong, but later he listened to Founder's memorization of the mantra. Of course, there was no problem. The problem was whether he understood it. The complex mystery was not the language of this planet at all.

Zhou Shixiong had to remember the mantra and ask for advice when he met someone who knew in the future. Zhou Shixiong deliberately avoided Fang Zhenghua. He knew that he could not avoid it, but it was necessary to put on an attitude that he didn't want people to know. As a result, Fang Zhenghua was very conscious and did not disturb Zhou Shixiong except for daily consultations. It was not until Wu Xuan stopped that Fang Zhenghua recommended himself and wanted to help Zhou Shixiong train his future Jinyiwei.

Founder Zhenghua has this ability and qualifications, and his origin in the Imperial Horse Supervisor is equivalent to graduating from the Special Forces of the Great Neighbors and is very familiar with the Jinyiwei style. Zhou Shixiong was not polite and gave him all three hundred young soldiers. As for Liu Ning's two hundred cavalry, Zhou Shixiong had already sent them away. Since he could not be bribed, forcibly staying would only be bad things and not good things.

The camp was divided into several pieces, and the coachmen gathered together. They were about to reach their destination after a long journey. Now they were basking in the winter sun easily, calculating how much reward the imperial envoy would give them.

The group of Hegong Road Workers from the Jianghu Camp and Kaifeng Prefecture were already mixed together. The four leaders called each other's senior brothers and junior brothers. Of course, the people below did not dare to do anything randomly, and took care of each other and hugged each other. The third part was the camp of the Future Jinyiwei. This part was completely in accordance with the rules of the army, and under the leadership of Fang Zhenghua, he practiced various formations and related skills in a good manner.

Mo Lan brought Zhou Shixiong and others to the craftsman camp. In the open space near the river, three crossbows were opened in rows. Zhou Shixiong saw that two were standard equipment on the ship and one was a new product with pulley sets. "Sir." A bunch of craftsmen saluted Zhou Shixiong and said hello to Zhou Shixiong. Zhou Shixiong found that behind them, there were several sneaky figures.

"Where do you guys want to run?" Zhou Shixiong pulled Zhu Ying's sleeve and pointed the direction. Zhu Ying immediately discovered the four girls who were about to sneak.

"I've seen the young master." Shimazu Minami was the oldest and was pushed to the front by the other three girls. Zhou Shixiong shook his head with a smile, "If you want to see, you are all my people, do you have the momentum to understand?" Zhou Shixiong publicly announced his ownership of several girls, which made the girls who were always nervous and confused. When he was in the Hejian Mansion, Zhou Shixiong said that he would give them a title, but it has been several months since then. Apart from being intimate with You Min, Zhou Shixiong had no intention of collecting a house for other girls. No wonder the girls were thinking randomly.

"Congratulations to all the concubines." The four craftsmen were all old and naturally congratulated and joked to the female girls in the organization. The girls who were originally going to see the new crossbow fleeing, and even Zhu Ying, who had always been the hardest, ran away.

"Gong Dajiang, all data must be archived, whether it is a manufacturing procedure or an experimental process, which is convenient for reference. In addition, make a few more crossbows and keep testing until more than half of the crossbows are broken. This can test the parts of that part to be damaged as fast as possible and the maximum number of uses can be calculated." Zhou Shixiong said while Gong Liu was holding a small notebook to record. This is not Molan's habit. After Zhou Shixiong's training, they have long learned to record everything.

"Iron Master, you should be good at making steel with knives that can forge wooden planks. Guangxi has good iron materials. You can try to make a batch of good steel." Although Tie Yong is just a supporting role in the imperial creation, Zhou Shixiong attaches great importance to him. Everyone knows that the future world is the world of steel, and the role of these carpenters will be gradually replaced by blacksmiths. Tie Yong was not placed in a suitable position and felt so wronged that he became a blacksmith who made knives.

"You two can start working, from Xunzhou Prefecture to Zhennan Pass, whether it is water or land, it is a place that needs to be inspected. You should organize people to prepare utensils now, and I will send someone to take you out in a few days." There is no need for these river workers in the war, so Zhou Shixiong sent them out for investigation and could start the matters related to him when he returned to Pingxiangzhou.

Several people took the order and left. Zhou Shixiong looked beside the crossbow for a while, and then asked someone to shoot continuously. He listened to the buzzing sound of the bowstrings every time they reset, and felt very happy. It was not until the sky got dark that Zhou Shixiong left the camp and returned to the ship. He saw a group of buffaloes transporting goods at the dock. The shelves were exactly the kind he designed for elephants. Zhou Shixiong couldn't help but sigh that the Chinese people's plagiarism ability is invincible in the world.

"Resurrection, go and ask who these buffaloes belong to." Zhou Shixiong looked at the shelves on the buffalo's back and suddenly thought of the light machine guns installed on cars and motorcycles. If a small crossbow was installed on the back of the cow, it seemed like a good idea to cross the water to set up rockets near the enemy ship.

"Sir, it's the transportation team of the Mo family in Liuzhou, so it's probably not possible to force the recruitment." Li Fusheng not only asked who the owner of the buffalo was, but also guessed that Zhou Shixiong wanted a batch of buffaloes.

"Liuzhou Prefecture's water transportation is so developed, the transportation team is not very effective. It seems that they were forced by Hu Fulong to change to the land bypass Xunzhou Prefecture." Zhou Shixiong basically guessed the role of the transportation team, but even if he knew that this was Mo's emergency measure, it would not change the current situation where Mo's current needs for buffaloes.

"Resurrection, send someone to find out where you can buy buffaloes. The price doesn't matter. At least you can help me get fifty heads back." The more Zhou Shixiong thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible, much better than a group of people who had never fought a water war to fight with their lives.

Back at the cabin, Zhou Shixiong asked Mo Lan to inform Gong Dajiang that he would organize the research and development of small crossbows or large crossbows that could be built on the back of a cow. Since he wanted to use a cow to fight, the elephant must of course consider that as long as the research and development is successful, Zhou Shixiong intends to be incorporated into his Qianhu Camp as a standing force.

Li Fusheng came back soon to report that the buffalo was found in Liuzhou Prefecture, Xiangzhou and Laibin County, and it should not be difficult to buy fifty heads. Zhou Shixiong asked Li Fusheng to handle this matter and transferred 100 people from Qianhu Camp for him to use. He could not let the former great scholar drive the cattle alone.

Fortunately, the craftsman camp has a lot of people, so under the assignment of Gong Dajiang, they were divided into three groups to start work. Tieyong's smith camp also sent people to assist in designing and manufacturing ox-made crossbows and elephant-made small bed crossbows. Zhou Shixiong looked at their design drawings and proposed to install arrow boxes with rocker arms and above the crossbow. If these two ideas can be realized, the increase in the rate of fire needs to be mentioned, and the reduction in operating manpower will double the practicality of the crossbows.

On February 18th, Huang Chengen brought his eldest son Huang Shouren to Wuxuan. The two respectfully paid a great gift to Zhou Shixiong and greeted Zhou Shixiong as the envoy of Xiangzhou Xuan.

"Mr. Zhou, my mother is very concerned about you and asked her to bring a set of clothes. This is what my mother is doing. I hope Mr. Zhou will not dislike him." Now Zhou Shixiong's identity is no better than that of ordinary officials. If an ordinary official dares to become sworn officials with chieftains, he will immediately face the punishment of dismissal and investigation. Zhou Shixiong is a little different. He is going back to Guangxi to settle down this time, and it is okay to interact with anyone as a scholar. But Emperor Chongzhen added him an imperial status and also gave him a thousand-household camp for his safety. Such honors and favors are rare in the world. If Huang Chengen dares to promote everywhere that he and Zhou Shixiong are kids, Zhou Shixiong may be fine. He may not be safe with Xiangzhou chieftains.

"Brother, I don't know these messy things. Since the court has regulations, it is not appropriate for me to be too willful. Why not do this? Zhoujiazhuang is my imperial envoy's headquarters. If you keep supplies, let a few nearby chieftains take them. If they don't give them, brother, you can use my imperial envoy's flag to attack them. Haha." Zhou Shixiong's words made several people in the house laugh.

"Mr. Zhou, we should not tell us what we do. If someone catches us, we are not good for anyone. As long as our mind remains unchanged, there is nothing to worry about." Huang Chengen is not afraid of Zhou Shixiong's plan to seize control of Xiangzhou. Looking at Zhou Shixiong's current pomp, how could he take the border areas like Xiangzhou into his eyes.

Zhou Si continued to guard the house, and Zhou Wu brought a team of elephant to Wu Xuan obeyed the order. Zhou Wu is now seventeen years old and has a tall figure. He is used to being the leader, and his aura has already taken shape. Zhou Wu took out the account book and handed it to Zhou Shixiong, and Huang Shouren also took out one and handed it over. Zhou Shixiong was called Li Jie, and Li Zhenhe was responsible for checking the accounts. These two girls may have learned similar jobs. After mastering the new abacus, they calculated the accounts much faster than Li Fusheng.

ps: Continue to ask for this and that, and give me some rewards if you have enough money.
