The soldiers who were fighting the camp and flowing through the river were described in a good way. After a few months, they returned to Niulanshan camp again. The camp was just as uncontroversial as before, but it was a change of things and people. The guardians of the Zhao family were the servants of the Zhao family, and the trained children of the Zhao family.
If people do not have long-term plans, they will have immediate worries. Nowadays, mobs are causing disasters, thieves are everywhere, and many illegal people take the opportunity to make trouble. The risks of going business are getting greater and greater. Especially after the battle without getting involved in mud, Zhao Yuqing, who has always been smart, also consciously sent the children of the clan here to train and enhance the power of the Zhao clan.
For a smart businessman, he can make money at any time, but no matter how much money he has, he has to save his life to enjoy it. On the basis of the camp, Zhao Yuqing added some entertainment living facilities, such as bathhouses, study rooms, tea rooms, etc. After all, these are all their own children, not from refugees or ordinary people, which surprised Lu Haoshan, that it was the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, and there were already training in this camp.
"Bang...bang"
"Bang bang bang..."
When Lu Haoshan brought Zhao Min and Lin Yuexuan to the Niulancai camp, someone was practicing muskets inside. Listening to the sound, it was a bird gun.
"Sister Min, your Zhao family's children are so diligent. Now they are the fourth grade of the junior high school, so they are training so quickly." Lin Yuexuan said in surprise.
Even the Wenchong Qianhu Institute was the sixth day of the first lunar month, and Lu Haoshan was the Qianhu Institute, who could be lazy, but soldiers like Jiangyou had already set off one after another and were ready to return to the team for training.
Zhao Min smiled and said, "It's not about diligence. It's mainly because of this need."
"Is there any need?" Lin Yuexuan said curiously: "These are also Haoshan's private soldiers?"
"That's not, but my husband needs it. These soldiers will definitely follow his orders, mainly for today's spring tea. Xuanmei, you know that Shaanxi is now in chaos and the road is not peaceful. In order to ensure the smooth and safe harvesting of tea, these soldiers naturally have to train hard and contribute to the growth of the family."
Although it is still the Chinese New Year, the Zhao family has already prepared for the spring tea this year. This is the case in the world, with good and bad sides. Political situations are turbulent, and thieves are everywhere, and tea production is reduced. However, unknown risks can eliminate a large number of people without strength. In that case, people's demand for tea remains unabated. For them, they would rather not eat meat for three days than drink tea for a day. With fewer monks, the porridge will naturally be divided into more. With Lu Haoshan as their backer, the Zhao family has long been ready to do a big fight.
Seeing that Lin Yuexuan was not very clear. Zhao Min explained again, Lin Yuexuan suddenly realized and said with longing: "The tea-horse exchange is a profitable business. With this wealth path, you will naturally not have to worry about money."
Lu Haoshan recruited a large number of soldiers and horses, and the food was good and the treatment was good. He didn't need to place free "soldiers" to recruit those soldiers who wanted to pay. He thought Lu Haoshan was crazy and would lose everything sooner or later, but he didn't expect Lu Haoshan to integrate with one move. Increased revenue and reduced expenses and made people's eyes bright, and he still made great achievements in the exchange of tea and horses. It turned out that he was planning to do it.
"It's not like that," Lu Haoshan said lightly: "There is an old saying that it's good. Money can make the devil push the mill. In this world, money is not omnipotent, but it's absolutely impossible to have no money. If you don't have to worry about money, you will probably reach the peak of your life. Without goals and pursuits, that is, it's impossible to improve your life and say you don't have to worry."
Everyone said as they entered the camp, which was transferred to the Zhao clan. The people guarding the gate were all from the Zhao family. Seeing Lu Haoshan and Zhao Min come together, they opened the gate early without giving instructions.
"Zhao Tianyun, you are useless. Do you know how difficult this gun is to get? I won't kill you."
"Uncle Fourth, don't, I, I, I didn't mean it."
As soon as Lu Haoshan entered the camp, he heard someone begging for mercy. When he turned his head, he saw a middle-aged man holding a whip and driving a boy around. The boy was running and begging for mercy. The situation looked a bit funny.
Zhao Min was a little overwhelmed. The trainees in this camp were either servants of the Zhao family or children of the Zhao family. When they saw him walking over, they smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle, why did you fight Tianyun?"
Seeing that there was a backer coming, Zhao Tianyun hurriedly ran to Zhao Min, pouted and said, "Sister, I broke the musket, it's not right, it's broken. I didn't mean it."
The fourth uncle is Zhao Yuqing's uncle and brother, one generation higher than Zhao Min, and has served as a soldier. He has experience. He was placed here by Zhao Yuqing to "glow and heat up". Although he has a high seniority, his status is much worse than Zhao Min. Besides, Zhao Min is not only the daughter of the patriarch, but also the wife of a fifth-rank official. When the fierce fourth uncle saw that it was Zhao Min, he immediately stopped and put down the whip in his hand. A smile appeared on his tight face: "It turns out that he is a good niece, it's nothing. It's just that this kid is not good and broke two muskets in a day. Do you think he shouldn't shoot? This musket is so precious."
Before Liu Jinzhu transferred the treasure, he buried some of the mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick, so he also asked the children of the Zhao clan to practice mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick mud-stick.
At this time, Lu Haoshan also came over. When Zhao Tianyun broke two muskets in one day, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Oh, breaking two muskets in one day is quite capable."
"Goodbye to the Lord." Seeing Lu Haoshan coming, the fourth uncle immediately saluted.
Zhao Tianyun also shouted obediently: "My brother-in-law"
Lu Haoshan quickly persuaded him: "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm all my own people, and I'm not dealing with business now."
“Yes, yes”
Zhao Tianyun said a little aggrievedly: "Brother-in-law, I didn't mean it, I just broke it by myself when I put it." Zhao Tianyun explained in a low voice for himself.
"Take all the muskets and I'll see." Lu Haoshan's heart moved and then spoke.
Having a status is different. As soon as he opened his mouth, the Zhao family quickly gathered about forty muskets together for Lu Haoshan to inspect.
Lu Haoshan first looked at the two broken ones, and saw that both of the barrels had broken barrels. For the musket, the barrel was useless and was not as good as the fire stick. It was completely reimbursed. Looking at the others, Lu Haoshan shook his head in disappointment: Except for a small part, it was brand new, most of them had broken, small trachoma, rust and other problems, and it was estimated that they would be reimbursed in no time.
"Uncle Fourth, don't blame Tianyun, this is the musket that is too old. Anyone who replaces it will break." Lu Haoshan said with some depression after seeing the musket.
Although these muskets are not their own, Lu Haoshan knew that the batch of muskets in his hand would not have a long lifespan, which is not a problem of new and old. It is not an improper operation. For the Ming Dynasty, the most advanced one now should be bird guns, which are fired by gunpowder, which is more troublesome to operate. In addition, the material is also a fatal injury. Although there were firearms and cannons in the Ming Dynasty, there were still many impurities for the iron to build firearms. All the processes rely on manual work, and everything needs to be improved.
"I know this too. Otherwise, I would have really beat him." Uncle Zhao Si said with a depressed look: "It was a good idea to do something before, but when it happened to be a problem of not getting stuck in mud, the management of military supplies became more and more strict. Even if he was willing to pay the money, it would not be easy. The clan leader asked someone to buy it, and it was difficult to buy it."
In order to get to power, Han Wenden made a big plan, allowing him to steal the military equipment warehouse without sticking in the mud. He asked him to make the impact the most in the shortest time and drag his ex off the horse. However, this also attracted the attention of the court and sent someone to take stock and inspect it. In this way, it was a bit difficult to get some military supplies. Lu Haoshan asked Han Wenden for musket equipment a few times, but in the end he only approved thirty muskets, half of which were seven-eyed guns.
It's just a little more generous in terms of food and grass.
Lu Haoshan had no choice but to comfort him a few words, and then he took the two girls around casually.
"It seems that it's time to build your own workshop and make your own musket." This is the first sentence Lu Haoshan said after leaving the Niulanshan camp.
It is better to seek oneself than to seek others. When the era of hot weapons comes, the end and exit of cold weapons is an irreversible trend. If you want to make firearms great achievements on the battlefield, in addition to quantity, quality is also very important. To be honest, Lu Haoshan, who spent money to experience many real guns in the military camps in later generations, really looked down on these so-called muskets. It is no exaggeration to say that even high-pressure air guns in later generations are much stronger than these. If there is one or not, just use them.
I used to be without strength or conditions and dare not think about it. Now I have the conditions and have this experience. Lu Haoshan is very active and is planning to build a workshop for himself and build a gun for himself.
These muskets are not high-tech, but the craftsmanship requirements are more rigorous. Lu Haoshan has experience in practicing iron with blast furnaces, mainly for the needs of some parts in later generations. Lu Haoshan is quite good at this. As for the craftsmanship, it is easier to do. Later generations have played with guns and bought those simulated toy guns to make trouble. There is some impression that as long as you find a suitable, experienced craftsman, have your own guide, and with their experience, Lu Haoshan has absolutely reason to believe that he can make better muskets.
"This is a good idea," Zhao Min immediately echoed: "But craftsmen who can fire muskets are all strictly managed by the court, and it is difficult to recruit them."
Lu Haoshan said confidently: "No hurry, the matter is done by humans. Min'er, please let your father pay more attention to it, and if you have experienced blacksmiths, you will take it away. By the way, in recent years, craftsmen have become popular in exile in military households, and sometimes they also look for it among the refugees, and maybe there will be unexpected gains."
"Well, I understand." Zhao Min was happy to celebrate.
Lin Yuexuan also echoed: "This idea is good, I'll have someone look for it."
After visiting the Niulanshan camp, the group went straight back to the house. According to the itinerary, the group prepared to return to Guangyuan tomorrow. After all, Lu Haoshan was still Wen Chong Qianhu, and he had the responsibility to defend the territory. Even if Han Wensheng was taking care of him, it should not be too much.
"Miss Lin, you are finally back. If you don't come back, the young man will send someone to find you." As soon as everyone came back, they got off the carriage, and when the door saw Lin Yuexuan, they immediately said happily.
Lin Yuexuan said a little strangely: "Look for me? Is there anything so urgent?"
"A woman said it was your relative and was waiting for you in the side hall." The servant said respectfully. (To be continued)
ps: I had a toothache for a few days. I felt so painful yesterday that I wanted to knock myself out. Sorry, I will make up for it more today.
