Chapter 110
Cheng Shijie sat in the carriage and watched the Mauser twenty-shot shooting video downloaded from the Internet. Cheng Shijie has no chance to come into contact with real guns, even if he has money now, he can go to a shooting club with real guns and live ammunition.
For the price of 330 yuan and 20 rounds of pistol ammunition, Cheng Shijie could barely accept it, but the problem was that the shooting club only had 54 pistols, 92 police pistols, shotguns, and rifles. He almost searched all over the sea. There are live ammunition shooting halls around the city, but there is no Mauser 20-gun shooting hall.
In desperation, Cheng Shijie just downloaded the Mauser 20-shot shooting video from the Internet and took a look at it for himself. Cheng Shijie actually shot the fire blunderbuss equipped by Ning Haijun in the late Ming Dynasty, and also shot the original version of the machine gun, the Thunder blunderbuss.
As a pistol, the recoil of the Mauser is obviously greater than that of ordinary pistols. When shooting, you must hold it firmly. With Cheng Shijie's strength, there should be no major problems.
When the guards escorted him to the palace outside Jinzhou City, the entire official road was full of traffic and bustling. After Zhang Huaize accepted Cheng Shijie's road construction task, he began to lead more than 6,000 field troops and reform-through-labor prisoners to briefly repair the official road outside Jinzhou City.
The big and small potholes on the road are just filled with soil. However, it is already much more convenient for the convoys entering and exiting the Golden State Acropolis.
Sitting in the carriage, Cheng Shijie started to disassemble the Mauser pistol while playing the video downloaded on his mobile phone, and then installed it awkwardly. For Cheng Shijie, this pistol was actually not complicated, at least compared to many of the equipment of Hansteel Group. It is much simpler. For an engineering student, hands-on ability is their absolute advantage.
The whole journey from the Ning Haijun Military Mansion in Jinzhou Acropolis to the pine forest in the southeast of Jinzhou Acropolis takes about twenty-five minutes. It was during these twenty-five minutes that Cheng Shijie disassembled and assembled Mauser Twenty Rings. Three times.
Arriving at the pine forest, Cheng Shijie ordered: "Come here!"
"Commander, please give me your orders!"
"After searching, no one is allowed to approach within a radius of five hundred steps with the carriage as the center!"
"yes!"
The three hundred guards and soldiers who had officially written in the Guard Bureau immediately dispersed.
Cheng Shijie got off the carriage and saw that the guards around him had dispersed. Although the effective range of this Mauser pistol was one hundred and fifty meters, he was worried and asked the soldiers to disperse five hundred steps away.
"Father, what are you doing?"
"Test the gun!"
Cheng Shijie did not fire continuous rounds, but switched the pistol to single-shot shooting mode, loaded the magazine, opened the safety, raised the pistol, and started shooting.
"boom!"
A plume of smoke erupted from the muzzle, and a bullet flew towards the big tree in the distance. It was a pity that Cheng Shijie aimed at a pine tree thirty steps away, but the bullet hit a tree more than forty steps away. On a pine tree. The unfortunate tree shook, and a large piece of bark was ripped open, exploding into a large cloud of white sawdust.
Fortunately, Cheng Shijie’s strength
Cheng Hu was startled. He didn't see Cheng Shijie light the match rope, but the gun fired directly: "This gun..."
Cheng Shijie said nothing, loaded the gun, took aim, pulled the trigger, and there was a bang.
The tree targeted by Cheng Shijie had a hole in it. He continued to load, aim, and fire. He fired more than a dozen shots in a row, and none of them misfired.
This shows that the reliability of these bullets is quite good. Although the effective shelf life of the bullets is thirty years, the problem is that some bullets can still fire after sixty or seventy years.
After finishing the bullets in the magazine, Cheng Shijie put away the gun with satisfaction. There are only 240 bullets. He shot 20 and there are 220 left. If he continues to shoot, there may not be enough.
Cheng Shijie has no channel to buy new bullets, even if this 7.62mm pistol bullet is still in production.
The only trouble is that this pistol does not have a holster, but this cannot stop Cheng Shijie. He has strong craftsman teammates, and it is too simple to build a holster for a Mauser pistol.
Cheng Shijie asked the guard to go to the wood factory to make a holster. It's like asking a leather goods factory to make a suitable leather gun holster. It's actually very easy.
When Cheng Shijie rode a carriage to the woodwork factory. Since he did not notify him in advance, the bosses of the woodwork factory did not come out to greet him.
On the other hand, Baihu Tianfengshou, who was responsible for looking after the woodwork factory, and dozens of young men, bowed and flattened their chests: "I'm sorry to see you, the commander-in-chief!"
"No gift!"
In the eyes of Cheng Shijie, his Hundred Households in the Camp was a panacea. Zhang Huaize needed manpower to build the road. Cheng Shijie transferred the military households from the Hundred Houses in the Tuntian. Zhou Yandong needed manpower to build the post station and transferred the military households from the Hundred Houses in the Tuntian. Luo Coal mines need to be excavated in Mashan, and hundreds of households must be stationed to support them.
Cheng Shijie will support the expansion of the Jinzhou Port Terminal, the expansion of the Gaizhou City Terminal, and the expansion of the resettlement sites.
As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Cheng Shijie relied on Zuo Qianhu of Dengzhou Guard to make his fortune. Zuo Qianhu of Dengzhou Guard also benefited from it collectively. Now Ning Haijun has a total of 553 farms and hundreds of households. These five Almost 90% of the one hundred and fifty-three field officials came from the Zuo Qianhu Office of Dengzhou Guard.
Baihu Tianfengshou, who was in charge of the security woodwork factory, also came from the Tengzhou Weizuo Qianhu Station, but he was originally just a military household at the Tengzhou Wei Hot Spring Baihu Station.
"I didn't know that the commander-in-chief was coming with a tiger, but I missed him from afar. Please forgive me, commander-in-chief!"
"Okay, you kid has learned how to flatter me!"
"Commander, please come inside!"
Tian Fengshou attracted Cheng Shijie to a courtyard of the woodworking factory, and then sent someone to notify the foreman of the woodworking factory.
Only then did Cheng Shijie discover that compared with other factories, the industrial equipment factory actually had large courtyards. Almost all of these buildings are mainly wooden buildings, which are also the traditional house structures of the Ming Dynasty. They walk to a yard for temporary rest.
This is a courtyard made entirely of wood. The wood is chopped into tiles and bundled into walls. Even the floor inside the wooden house, the corridors outside, and the handrails are all made of wood. I took the scraps of the wooden boards and laid a wooden path with bowls. The foul-mouthed tree stumps formed a small courtyard. There was a kennel at the entrance of the courtyard, and four or five Shandong fine dogs were squatting in the kennel.
Seeing Cheng Shijie's arrival, these thin dogs didn't even bark, but were very quiet.
The craftsman in charge of the woodware factory is a strange man named Zhao Chuanfu. He was one of the three thousand craftsmen under the jurisdiction of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry. In his early years, Zhao Chuanfu was proficient in large wood work, small wood work, saw work, bamboo work, tile work, mud work, brick work, kiln work and other related construction work. He is ingenious in the twelve types of work he will do and can learn everything very quickly. By chance, he was sent by the Nanjing Ministry of Industry to the home of Ge Yuying, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, to build a pavilion. At that time, the young master of Ge Yuying was only eight years old, and he took a fancy to him for making pavilion models.
Mr. Ge snatched the model away. In order to get back the model he planned to give to Mr. Ge, Zhao Chuanfu spent one night using a willow root to carve a sailboat for Mr. Ge. This one-foot-three-inch sailboat is so lifelike that even the boatmen and figures on it are clearly visible.
Zhao Chuanfu relied on this craftsmanship to win the respect of Mr. Ge. Later, when the tower of Ge Mansion was built, Ge Yuying asked Zhao Chuanfu what reward he wanted. Zhao Chuanfu said he wanted freedom.
Because although he was a craftsman affiliated with the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, he was called a craftsman, but he was actually a labor slave, and his income was simply not enough to make ends meet. Ge Yuying was a wonderful man, and he personally made connections and lifted Zhao Chuanfu's status from a humble status to a civilian status.
The problem is, the cost of freedom is too high. Zhao Chuanfu thought that with his skills, he could make money to support himself, marry a wife and have children, and live a good life.
The ideal is very beautiful, but the reality is too cruel. Zhao Chuanfu had just been married for a few years. When his eldest son was just four years old, his wife Ye Shi suffered from angina pectoris. He asked a doctor to treat his wife. It didn't take long before he continued to spend all his money and borrowed loan sharks at high interest rates. , and soon Zhao Chuanfu couldn't hold on anymore.
Until he became a refugee in order to avoid debt. Even though Zhao Chuanfu is less than forty years old, he looks like a little old man. If he is sixty, no one will doubt him.
"I wonder what the commander has to do with the little old man?"
Originally, Cheng Shijie just wanted to make a gun holster, but the problem was, after seeing this small wooden courtyard, he changed his mind: "My commander-in-chief's military headquarters also wants a courtyard like this. How long do you think it will take to complete it?"
Zhao Chuanfu was slightly startled: "It's not that the commander-in-chief doesn't like luxury..."
Cheng Shijie said: "It's true that I don't like luxury. What's so luxurious about a wooden house like this?"
Zhao Chuanfu suddenly realized.
"This handsome man, the second thing I want to do today is to make you a gun holster!"
"Don't worry, Commander, it can be completed in up to three days!"
"Three days, so fast?"
“All the parts are readily available, you just need it!”
Zhao Chuanfu said: "In order to expand Ning Haijun Academy, the woodwork factory has built accessories for more than a thousand houses instead of the current Jinzhou Academy. This Jinzhou Academy has dozens of houses less, so it shouldn't matter!"
"It doesn't matter!"
Cheng Shijie took out the Mauser pistol and began to hand it to Zhao Chuanfu, hoping that he could quickly build a convenient gun case by himself or instruct the craftsmen below. With a twenty-ring Mauser pistol, Cheng Shijie had a certain reputation in the late Ming Dynasty. Ability to defend yourself.
With the power of twenty Mauser blasts, ten or eight people would have no chance of rushing in front of Cheng Shijie. Their ability to protect themselves was enough for the time being.
If General Ning knew that Cheng Shijie had such thoughts, countless people would probably commit suicide in shame. Not to mention that Cheng Shijie was afraid of death. Even if he was not afraid of death, countless people would be willing to take bullets for him.
Because all Ning Haijun officers knew that as long as Cheng Shijie was here, they would have hope in the future.
…
As Cheng Shijie left, Feng Sanniang, the fake Mrs. Cheng, breathed a sigh of relief. She and Yang Yuniang began to look at the Ning Haijun General Military Mansion seriously.
The inner house belonging to Cheng Shijie is actually not very big. After all, he originally had no wife or concubines. The Ninghai Navy General Military Mansion is divided into four parts. The large courtyard in front of the left, including the six small spans in the courtyard, belongs to the Supervisory Military Road Office, and the front right The large courtyard and the six small courtyards in it are the Military Affairs Administration.
This part occupies more than half of the Ning Haijun General Military Mansion. In the middle backyard and three steps into the house, it belongs to the Ning Haijun General Accounting Room under the jurisdiction of Yang Yunniang. However, this general ledger room is also divided into a bank part and a factory part. As for Ning Haijun's accounts, they are controlled by the Military Affairs Bureau and the Equipment Bureau.
Feng Sanniang feels that the Ning Navy General Military Mansion is very grand, but there is a strong shabby smell in the atmosphere. No matter which courtyard it is, the architectural style is very grand, but the decoration is very simple.
This is due to limited time and not enough time.
However, standing at the Ning Haijun General Military Mansion, you can see thick smoke rising from the chimneys outside. These are the chimneys in the factories around the Golden State Acropolis.
In Feng Sanniang’s opinion, Jinzhou Acropolis is a very strange place. Not only is it clean and tidy, but it is also full of vitality. It is completely different from those dirty and messy health centers that look like beggars’ dens. It is even better than many counties and cities. Prefectural cities and even prefectural cities need to be more dynamic.
The people here seem to have endless energy and work vigorously, which is in sharp contrast to the numbness and indifference of other military households in the guard station.
Feng Sanniang said: "As a teacher, I have traveled south and north. I have been to many places, but there is no place like Jinzhou Acropolis. It seems..."
"What does it seem like?"
"This Marshal Cheng can cast a spell to replace everyone's souls with his soul, making them all positive..."
Yang Yuniang suddenly discovered that her master seemed to like this place a little bit.
As Yang Yuniang guessed, Feng Sanniang had completely given up on her feelings after being deceived by Zhou Shichen. If Cheng Shijie was willing, she would have been pretending to be Mrs. Cheng.
You don't have to worry about eating and drinking here. The key is that you don't have to worry about being intimidated. Even if your former enemies come to visit, who would dare to come to Ning Haijun's general military mansion and act recklessly?
After lunch and changing into a brand new dress, Feng Sanniang began to assume the responsibilities of Mrs. Cheng. Of course, don't misunderstand, she was not sleeping with her, but came out to comfort Cheng Shijie.
Feng Sanniang said to Yang Yunniang: "I want to ask Marshal Cheng for instructions..."
"What do you ask for?"
"We need some supplies for our division!"
"Please give me your instructions, Master!"
Yang Yunniang said: "The commander-in-chief has given orders. Whatever Master needs, Yunniang will do it with all her strength!"
"It seems like you, this damn girl, are quite favored!"
"Master...look at you..."
"I want money for my teacher!"
"If the amount is less than 30,000 taels of silver, Yun Niang can pay it to the master at any time!"
Yang Yunniang said with a serious face: "If it exceeds 30,000 taels of silver, it needs to be reported to the commander for approval!"
"oh!"
Feng Sanniang said: "I'm just kidding, I don't need money, but I need some shoes, socks, and clothes. On the way here, I saw a lot of people in ragged clothes, so I went to prepare some worthless clothes!" "
Yang Yunniang immediately wrote a note and asked Qiaoer, Xueer, Anjing and Anning to prepare it. These supplies include six pancakes, about three kilograms, four pairs of socks, two pairs of shoes, and one cotton coat.
These things are wrapped together with three feet of cloth, and one portion is one package.
It didn't take long for these things to be prepared, and Feng Sanniang took the cart loaded with supplies to the resettlement site outside Jinzhou City.
The military households who came to Liaonan and the people in Liaodong thought that this winter would be very difficult to stay up late, but in fact, this winter is not difficult. There are job opportunities everywhere...
For example, in Cheng Shijie's eyes, the New Year would be incomplete if he could not have a meal of dumplings. In order to allow the entire military and civilians in southern Liaoning to eat dumplings, Cheng Shijie started preparations half a month ago. He used various methods to prepare dumplings. Commercial channels include purchasing wheat from Shandong, Henan, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and even Jiangnan.
It was originally planned to distribute twenty kilograms of flour to each person, but as the population in southern Liaoning increased, people came to seek refuge almost every day. This wheat could be bought with money, but the problem was that the flour was not easy to process.
For this reason, Liaonan built more than a hundred mills at one go, specifically for emergency flour processing. These people from Liaodong who came to Liaonan could build houses in various factories and earn a bucket of grain a day, or they could go to A flour processing factory is a mill that processes flour. You can also do odd jobs in various factories. You can also pick coal and make briquettes in the coal yard. Although a hundred briquettes only cost one penny in wages, a strong man can make tens of thousands of briquettes a day. A few briquettes can earn hundreds of cash.
This work of making briquettes is very hard, but the problem is that as long as you are not afraid of tiredness and hard work, people in southern Liaoning will not starve to death. In fact, people from Liaodong will basically not starve to death when they arrive in southern Liaoning.
This is a town located outside Jinzhou City. The town now only has a simple wall. Inside the earthen wall, the homesteads of each household have been planned. After getting their own homesteads, the army began to clean up. Some are laying the foundation, while others are preparing plant ash in the planned vegetable plot, which is used as fertilizer to fertilize the fields.
Some people have started to weave fences out of tree branches on their homesteads, and if possible, have begun to build grass sheds, or directly use soil frames to make adobes on the spot in preparation for building houses.
"Fellow villagers, each of the hundreds of households, bring your family to the threshing floor at the entrance of our town. Our marshal's wife has come to visit you. The marshal's wife has brought a lot of good things..."
As the mayor started to announce with a simple loudspeaker, most of the people in the town were actually old, weak, women and children. The real strong laborers were either working on construction sites or in factories. No one was idle anyway.
The cold wind was howling. On the threshing floor at the entrance of the town, there was a long row of motorcades parked. The carts were loaded with supplies. These supplies were arranged in categories, including quilts, blankets, washbasins, and bowls. Chopsticks, iron pots, kitchen knives, cutting boards, etc. are all tools commonly used at home. In fact, these things were originally prepared by Cheng Shijie to distribute to all military households in the field.
It's just that the quantity is insufficient, and there is no way to distribute it as a whole, so we don't worry about the shortage but the unevenness.
A similar incident occurred at Hansteel Group, causing strong dissatisfaction among employees.
In fact, that time it was just because of an accident that the group company issued a year-end welfare notice. Everyone knew that two boxes of apples, two boxes of pears, and other things would be distributed during the New Year. But the problem was that during the distribution, a fruit truck rolled over and 28 tons of fruit was smashed. It was too late to make temporary arrangements.
Although an announcement was made immediately, employees did not believe the company's explanation. Rumors and curses were flying everywhere. It was not until the fruit was transferred later that the fruit incident subsided. When you are not fully prepared, it is better not to receive welfare benefits than not.
Cheng Shijie originally had a headache, but now it's gone. Mrs. Cheng helped him solve the problem.
Not according to head, not according to family, it depends on Feng Sanniang's wishes, whatever is caught, will be distributed randomly.
Because it’s random, no one says anything. It’s like opening a blind box. If you have bad luck, can you blame others?
Feng Sanniang, who was dressed in a rich dress, accepted the salutes of the people in a grand manner: "Common people pay their respects to Madam!"
Feng Sanniang will deliver the prepared things to the people one by one: "You have suffered, the commander-in-chief will lead everyone to live a good life. I believe the commander-in-chief, next year will be better!"
Feng Sanniang is the master of the Yan family, her acting skills are really not just fake, her voice is soft, especially her eyes are slightly red, she will cry with distress when she sees the children wearing ragged clothes.
Every move she made moved all the people. Even though it was obvious that some supplies were missing, the problem was that these people did not complain, because from her mouth, everyone knew that Marshal Cheng did not know. Marshal Cheng originally had a family fortune of hundreds of thousands, but many common people in southern Liaoning, The Cheng family is now bankrupt. This is what the Cheng family can take out. In order to provide food for everyone, Marshal Cheng has lost dozens of pounds.
This is not a sign of panic, especially those who knew Cheng Shijie earlier. They all know that Cheng Shijie used to be a fat man weighing more than 200 kilograms, but now he has become very strong.
"Long live the handsome man!"
"The handsome prince Wandai!"
Just as the soldiers and civilians were kowtowing to Feng Sanniang to thank him, Song Xiance and Cheng Shijie, who had twenty-ring Mao sers hanging on their waists, were not far away.
"My lord, this "ma'am"..."
Before Song Xiance finished speaking, Zhou Yandong said with some distress: "What a waste!"
Zhou Yandong didn't know that the lady in front of him was fake, but he felt heartbroken. It was not easy for Ning Haijun to buy these belongings now, whether it was the distributed bedding, clothes, farm tools, hatchets, axes, shoes, etc. , all can be sold for money.
Cheng Shijie and Ning Haijun did make a lot of money by taking advantage of the Dengzhou Mutiny, Kong Youde's Rebellion, and the previous suppression of bandits. But now that there are more and more people, there are more places to spend money. The wealth that Ning Haijun saved, You can't squander it like this.
"pattern!"
Song Xiance said angrily: "Vice General Zhou, where is the pattern? You can't just focus on the palm-sized place in front of you..."
"I see that you, Mr. Song, don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you are not a family member!"
Zhou Yandong said: "Although we have a lot of land that can be reclaimed in southern Liaoning, these are all new fields, and delicate crops such as rice and wheat cannot be planted in a year or two. With the military expenditure of more than 20,000 troops, so many troops Households and craftsmen eat, drink, and eat, not to mention raising so many cattle, sheep, and horses, they also need to eat part of the food, and soldiers who have made military exploits also need a share of money and food as rewards... No matter how you calculate it, it is not enough! "
Cheng Shijie said calmly: "We have no money, let's go grab it!"
PS: There will be another chapter in the evening. This chapter was originally written in the morning. I had my first chemotherapy session in the morning. It was very painful and I couldn’t type. I hope you all understand!
