"Brothers are all good, Lao Luo, just endure it. After this period of time, everything will be fine..." He stood up and patted Luo Wen on the shoulder. Xiao Han was also a little uninterested. In this time of war and chaos, who could What can be done?
"Of course the brothers are good, but these days, all the bullies are here to bully us. Just after sending away the Turks, the damn Qiang people came to rob the grain truck again. The brothers are now transporting grain, and they are all worried. I don't know. A bunch of Qiang people with knives and guns came out from nowhere to grab food. Although the King of Qin now sent troops to escort along the way, the escorts also had to eat food. Plus the people and horses transporting food, when they arrived at the destination, they There is only about 30% to 40% of the truck food left..."
After listening patiently to Luo Wen, Xiao Han's hand that patted his shoulder suddenly tightened, then let go, walked around from behind Luo Wen, sat opposite him again, stared at him, and said slowly: "Brother Luo, you Just tell me, what do you want to do?"
Luo Wen was still silent on the suffering battlefield. Hearing Xiao Han suddenly change the subject, his face couldn't help but froze. He looked up at Xiao Han embarrassedly: "You, you can see it?"
"Nonsense! Who taught you this? You are all stupid as pigs. Who doesn't understand you, I don't understand you? You are just a killer who has been looking forward to fighting all your life! I still believe it when you say that your brother is suffering, but when someone says someone robs you, ?
The person who robbed your things must have gone to hell to repent! What do you think some people want to do now? They have learned to beat around the bush? Is there anything you can’t just say? I can still bear being teased by Tang Jian, but if I am teased by you again, I will jump into the river right now! "
"Xiao Hou, please don't. It's my brother's fault. You can't jump into the river. If you jump into the river, I will be beaten to death by King Qin when I go back..."
Rowan's face was wrinkled into a bitter melon. He was good at asking him to stab people with a knife or scolding his incompetent subordinates! But letting him lie to others is really not good...
His father once said: Quartermasters cannot cheat, otherwise they will lose their heads! Therefore, Luo Wen, who has never been able to lie since he was a child, was put on the shelf by Chai Shao's bad idea this time, and it was really difficult for him...
"Stop talking nonsense, talk about it. Whose idea was it that you really think of me as an idiot?"
"Um..." Luo Wen thought for less than a second, and decisively sold his Shangguan, and said to Xiao Han in a flattering manner: "This is not Supervisor Chai Shao's idea. All the armors you sent were stolen by him." They were divided, but when King Qin asked, he only had two sets in hand. King Qin repaired them severely, and then he sent me for help. Hey, don't mention it, Xiaohou, you are really good at making armor! Knife chop. No damage, not as good as water immersion, the protective power is amazing!
At first, everyone saw that the armor was so dark that they thought it was a defective product. However, the person who sent the armor to you was also very tough. He took out the knife from the body of Old Liu, who was the most skeptical, and slashed the armor on the car with one knife.
As a result, there wasn't even a mark on the armor, but the sword had a chipped tooth! The owner of the painful knife, Old Liu, held the knife as if his wife had died..."
Hearing what Luo Wen said, Xiao Han finally stopped being angry: "Nonsense, what I made is defective? Every piece of armor leaf on it is made of the best steel ingots, folded several times, then quenched, and treated with anti-rust treatment. How can it be compared to those crappy things!"
Xiao Han's words are not bragging. Indeed, a group of skilled craftsmen have worked hard to combine various craftsmanship. The armor produced in this way is definitely more than a little bit better than what is currently in use!
"Yes, yes..." Luo Wen keenly noticed that Xiao Han's mood had improved, and quickly complimented him, then continued with a grimace: "However, Xiao Hou, your output of fifty sets this month is too small. …At this rate, if we equip a military guard, it won’t be enough for ten years. Manager Buchai is so anxious that he can’t even sleep. Let me coax you to help and give him five thousand sets first…”
Before he finished speaking, Luo Wen glanced at Xiao Han guiltily. Sure enough, Xiao Han's face was now full of astonishment.
"Otherwise, four thousand sets...three thousand sets will also work. Of course, if it is because of money issues, I am here to discuss it with you and never let my family suffer..."
Luo Wen's voice became smaller and smaller, and he probably felt that Director Chai Shao was a little pushy.
Sighing, Xiao Han patted the table, stood up and said to Luo Wen: "We are not outsiders. Speaking of which, I also came from our army. We are all a family. There is no reason why I should not give you good things." ! But look, I only have so many people here, working day and night, and I can only produce a hundred or so sets a month at most. As you know, this thing can’t be fast, and all procedures can’t be sloppy..."
"Then, you recruit more people..." Rowan tried to say, but he immediately felt that this was a bad idea, and quickly picked up the water glass to drink. Naturally, fewer people knew about military technology like this. The better, where outsiders who don’t know the details dare to get involved.
Sure enough, Xiao Han shook his head and said to Luo Wen: "Man, I am doing this trick, but unfortunately the effect is not very good. Most of the blacksmiths now are in military camps, and they are still inseparable from the army. Besides, even if there are enough people, they are not that good." More steel for my use.
The iron ore bought in advance has been almost used. The quality of the ore outside is different, and the best producing area, Hebei, is controlled by Dou Jiande. Also, I recently discovered that someone is tampering with the supply of iron. It was originally scheduled to be delivered every half a month, but recently it was changed to one month. It was said that the supply was insufficient, and I was helpless..."
"What? There's this guy, I'm going to fuck his grandma!"
Before Xiao Han could finish speaking, Luo Wen jumped up angrily on the spot, his eyes were red, and he said to Xiao Han: "Don't worry, Marquis Xiao, tell me who provided you with the iron material, now I will I went to Chang'an to ask him, but he rebelled against him. He even dared to do small things with King Qin's things. He was so tired of living. Believe it or not, King Qin sent an order and asked his whole family to go to the battle!
Luo Wen was furious. The whole family was waiting for Xiao Han to put this little rice into the pot, but someone stuck his neck on it. He was going to piss him off to death!
When Xiao Han saw that Luo Wen was about to rush out angrily, he quickly stopped him: "Lao Luo, Lao Luo, don't worry, eat first, it's not too late to go tomorrow!"
"I can't wait! Xiao Hou, just sit here and I'll go meet these profiteers. I have to let them send you all their capital and profits! I can't help you solve big problems. I, Lao Luo, can still solve this small problem. It’s done! It’s not too late to eat food and other things later, Xiao Hou, take your leave first!”
After that, Luo Wen rushed out of the door in a dusty state, and amidst Xiao Han's pleas, he got on his horse and headed straight for Chang'an! The men in the military camp do not procrastinate at all...
After Luo Wen left, Zhang Qiang arrived belatedly. He and Luo Wen were old acquaintances. When he learned that Luo Wen was coming this time, he rushed over to take a look. He looked around and didn't see Luo Wen. He only saw Xiao Han. The old god is drinking water.
"Where's that bastard Rowan? Didn't you say he's here? Where has he gone?"
Zhang Qiang sat down on his seat. When he saw that the water glass in front of him was still half full of water, he knew that someone had indeed come just now.
Xiao Han smiled slyly: "Let him solve the trouble for us."
"Trouble? What trouble do we have?" Hearing what Xiao Han said, Zhang Qiang was a little confused.
"Trouble with iron materials. Didn't you say that we specialize in salt and iron? Our order is so big that the merchants who supply iron materials are so scared that they don't dare to supply in large quantities. They think they have to hoard weapons. They don't even listen to the explanation. This time Come on, Luo Wen, let him go and make a fuss. Now everyone probably knows that King Qin wants the iron material, which will save us a lot of trouble!"
"Oh..." Zhang Qiang nodded. He didn't know that Luo Wen was tricked by Xiao Han. He just thought that this was indeed a problem that the quartermaster wanted to solve, so he didn't think much about it. He took another cup and gave it to himself. He poured the water, drank it all, wiped his mouth and said: "He is going to Chang'an. It seems that he won't be able to come back today. It just so happens that I have to pack up. Although we are all familiar with each other, some things are not suitable. Let him see that the soft steel coming out of the blacksmith recently is good. I have shot a few small crossbows with good accuracy and power. Apart from the slow launch, there are no other shortcomings, but the output is too low. The water turbine you mentioned When can it be used?"
"I guess it will be soon..." Xiao Han scratched his head. He was not particularly aware of the recent development of this matter, but he often saw Lao Zhao and Director Cao leading people to experiment by the river.
This thing was all carried out by Master Cao and Lao Zhao from the time it was proposed to the research. He just proposed the theory of the axis and didn't bother with it. Of course, he really didn't understand this thing. The only thing My impression is that of the big round wheel I saw on TV. After being gesticulated by Chief Cao and others, he was invited out by a few people. It seems that technical people hate him the most, a guy who is full of dissatisfaction and half-full of things, especially He also likes to come up with bad ideas...
"You, you, you don't pay attention to such an important thing, and you go around playing crazy every day, you are simply unworthy of a human being!"
After pouring a bottle of water and glaring at Xiao Han, Zhang Qiang decided to get up and take a look.
Zhang Qiang now feels like Xiao Han's big housekeeper, taking care of all the trivial matters. Xiao Han is extremely idle all day long. He and others are almost exhausted, but even so, nothing they do seems to be as good as Xiao Han's. Han's seemingly random move was important.
For example, Mr. Cao, whose origin is unknown, really has a few brushes. He can even think of a waterwheel. He has already seen the model. When the time comes, there will be no need for manpower. As long as the river flows, the waterwheel will move. The hammer replaces a person in striking iron, and can also pull the bellows along with it. It is simply a genius idea!
In fact, Xiao Han didn't bother to explain to him. In fact, waterwheels were used on a large scale for irrigation and rice pounding in the Han Dynasty. However, very few such good things were passed down. Let alone him, even Chengtian claimed to know three things. Even the teacher who was talking about everything in the world didn't know it. In order to seek confirmation, Zhang Qiang ran over and asked a few more questions, and was slapped by the angry teacher! Who is that?
