Chu Qing is only responsible for the overall situation. To put it more bluntly, he provides an idea and then spends money. Others will take care of the details.
In fact, he didn't want to do this. In the eyes of outsiders, it would seem that he had turned away from the shopkeeper. But the problem was that there was nothing he could do. He had no choice. Who said he was rich? What would he use the money for? Of course, it was to prevent himself from suffering. , otherwise why would you make money if you suffer?
The brewery in Wangyuan City has finally opened, and limited quantities of wine are on sale.
It opened early in the morning, and the news spread around noon. The coolies on their lunch break rushed to the city.
However, there were also working people in the city, and those who were near the water were first to get the moon. More than a hundred jars of twenty-three-day "old wine" were sold out. Chu Qing went over to smell it, but was very dissatisfied and did not taste it.
A well-fed man doesn’t know a hungry man is hungry, and the third brother who is always a prostitute doesn’t know the resentment of a single couple. Just because Chu Qing doesn’t want to drink it doesn’t mean that the people don’t want to drink it.
The people of Wangyuan City who had not bought any wine were cursing and cursing, just like voting at the beginning of the month only to find that the writer had been idle for a month, a sign of urgency.
But in the afternoon, Cloth Shop opened for business.
This is the first cloth shop in Wangyuan City. It is a serious cloth shop. You can buy all kinds of fabrics that can be seen on the market.
You must know that in the past, people had to rely on salesmen from customs to buy cloth, or buy ready-made clothes directly.
It was also sold out. The fabrics brought from Guan Nei were sold out in less than half an hour.
Naturally, Chu Qing did not do it to make money, but just to circulate the money. When the winery was opened, the initial income and expenses would be the same at most. As for the Buzhuang, it was completely losing money.
But this is also the change that Chu Qing wants to see. In the past, the people of Wangyuan City were as poor as anything. A family of eight would sleep with just a band-aid on them at night. Now they buy wine and cloth without even covering their eyes. In a blink of an eye.
Originally, several businesses should not have started so early, but Tao Weiran was afraid of depreciation and money depreciation.
The people have earned wages but have no money to spend. Big problems will definitely arise.
The Bian Gong residential area was still in full swing, and the chief engineer Cu Yu was called to the Marshal's Mansion.
"Brother Mo."
Chu Qing pointed to a somewhat broken piece of armor in the corner of the main hall: "Can it be made?"
The cuttlefish squatting on the ground stared at it for a long time, and Fu San explained: "Lang Jia, the wolf armor that catches the wolf army."
The so-called wolf armor is considered the standard equipment of the wolf-catching army. Fu San asked the detectives to go to the Sixth Camp to inquire all night, and then they pieced together a set of wolf armor that was not too complete.
"This A..." Cuiyu, an old driver, looked at it for a long time with a very strange expression: "Is it A?"
Chu Qing also looked at Fu San with confusion.
When the scouts first delivered the parts of the so-called wolf armor, he was also confused.
The so-called wolf armor is better said to be "paper" than armor.
The style is not much different from other armors, except that there is no helmet and it is very light. Just now, he scraped off a piece with his fingernails and found that it was compacted plant fiber.
Fu San couldn't explain it clearly. He said that the wolf armor was like this. It was "invented" by Chu Wensheng and had stronger protective power than ordinary armor.
Chu Qing was skeptical, so he asked someone to call Cuttlefish over to see what was going on.
At first, Cuttlefish thought this thing was just a fake. After squatting on the ground and touching it for a long time, he suddenly exclaimed: "What a good armor."
Chu Qing scratched his forehead.
Is it fake or fake?
The cuttlefish got excited and asked Fusan for Qianji. He stabbed it lightly a few times, but it couldn't penetrate.
Chu Qing was very confused: "Isn't this made of paper?"
"yes."
Cuiyu quickly disassembled the wolf armor into different armor components. The more he looked at it, the more admiration grew on his face, and he immediately began to mutter to himself about the imitation process.
Cutting the paper, compacting it with a sledgehammer, padding it with cowhide, and then soaking it may seem simple, but the process is extremely complicated.
Chu Qing finally understood what was going on.
Wolf armor is made of paper, at least most of the material is paper.
And the defense is not low. He also fell into a misunderstanding just now.
Paper is very fragile because it is thin, but if iron is made as thin as paper, it is also not strong. A piece of paper can be cut easily, but a stack of A4 paper can be directly shouted into someone's face, which is no less powerful than a Adult's big pussy.
Paper is made of wood pulp, which is essentially compressed and compacted plant fiber, and paper is compacted wood. Wood can be used to make shields and armor, and so can paper.
The most important thing is that this kind of armor is very light, which can greatly save the physical strength of the wolf-catching army and the war horses, and is suitable for the wolf-catching army in rushing operations.
However, this kind of wolf armor is only suitable for riding and shooting on the grassland. It is almost difficult for arrows to penetrate. However, if the enemy is fighting in close combat and the enemy uses heavy weapons, this armor has no defense at all.
At the same time, the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of armor are equally outstanding. It is afraid of fire but not water. If it encounters water, it will be stronger, but if it encounters fire, it will stop immediately.
Even though the outer layer is sewn with cowhide and copper sheets, and the paper has been soaked, it is still afraid of fire. It can be said that if you are fighting against a cold thief, and the opponent does not use bows and arrows, but uses lighters, the wolf armor is just a decoration.
A group of Liangrong people rushed over with howls and screams, holding lighters in their hands. After rushing up, they ignored the click-click-click and clicked. The wolf-catchers wearing wolf armor were unable to fight back.
In addition to paper, there is other filling, some kind of soaked cloth, which looks light and thin, but is actually divided into many layers.
Cuttlefish stood up and asked curiously: "Who made this wolf armor?"
"My master."
Chu Qing was shocked: "Does my father still have this skill?"
Fu San seemed to have remembered something: "No, no, the master said back then that he didn't come up with the method, it was my wife who taught him."
"Which ma'am."
Fu San was stunned for a moment, how many mothers do you have?
Only then did Chu Qing realize, madam, that's not his mother.
His face was filled with bold and black question marks.
Regarding his mother, Chu Qing was not not curious, but he just didn't want to think too much.
He had no memory of my mother at all, and subconsciously, he also thought that my mother must have died. Otherwise, she would have left after giving birth to him, and there would be no trace of her again.
Before in Beijing, he had seen Lao Si and Sun An speaking eloquently. My mother and Princess Guangde had the same name. Later, he also found out that the time when Princess Guangde "disappeared" was before he was born, and the time did not match. How could the father, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, quietly let the princess of the country capture it?
Fu San looked at the cuttlefish expectantly: "Mr. Mo, can you imitate it?"
"It should be possible, but this paper will consume a lot of money..."
Halfway through, the old cuttlefish laughed.
Waste of money does not exist in front of Chu Qing.
"It's possible to imitate it, but if it's just Lao Sheng, I don't know how long it will take to make it. How much does Mr. Chu want, and when will he want it?"
Chu Qing looked at Fu San, who raised five fingers: "Five hundred sets are enough, the sooner the better."
Chu Qing: "Five hundred sets?"
"Master, not everyone in the wolf-catching army needs armor. Five hundred sets are enough. Running on the grassland and fighting are secondary matters."
Chu Qing said oh and roughly understood.
When operating behind enemy lines, the tactics are relatively clumsy. They usually include sneak attacks, setting fires, harassing, drawing maps, and stepping on points. Frontal combat is rare because it is impossible to replenish troops. It can only be carried out under the premise that victory is certain and the losses are small. Those who know how to fight and fight in wolf armor can only have five hundred people. Most of the others bring rations, arrows and other supplies.
"Okay, let's take five hundred sets. Write down how many supplies and people are needed, and I'll try my best to arrange them for you."
Cuiyu was a resolute person. Knowing that Chu Qing had specifically told him that it must be an urgent matter, he didn't ask any more questions and went to find paper and pen.
Fu San asked worriedly: "We have wolf armor, but we can catch the old wolf soldier..."
"Third brother, believe me. Of course, the main reason is to believe that Marshal Ma, the veteran wolf-catcher, will definitely show up."
