After saluting the Master, the young man hurriedly ran outside. When he arrived at the square of the academy, he discovered that many students were walking out of the classroom.
One of the students hurriedly stopped him. After the exchange, they all laughed and thought about it together.
The rich students got on the carriages and rushed towards the village with their poorer classmates.
Following the flow of people, I came to the registration office inside Zhuangzi and found that there were already many people surrounding the registration point.
"Stop making trouble, everyone, please queue up and pay attention to the order."
When the clerk who registered saw so many people coming, he immediately became anxious and ordered the soldiers to maintain order, so as not to cause trouble and cause trouble.
In a short time, everyone lined up neatly.
"Name?"
"I don't have a last name, my name is Zan."
"How old?"
"19."
"Place of origin?"
"Yuntong County, Fuping County, Ningxiang, Erduoli."
The clerk nodded, wrote his name on the official document, and then wrote Qian Shou, male, 19 years old in the identity column.
"what will you do?"
"This little guy has been a carpenter for three years and knows how to do chiseling."
"good!"
After checking the person's identity certificate, the clerk began to write information and handed the official document to the person next to him. The person next to him looked at the official document and quickly took out a few metal movable types from the drawer and put them on the stove next to him to bake them. , just for a minute or two.
He took out the movable type and placed it on a piece of wood, placed a metal plate on it, and squeezed it hard. Instantly, a lot of smoke came out. After taking it away, he smeared some lard and wiped it with deerskin a few times, and it suddenly became shiny. .
Black fonts appeared on a piece of wood.
"Zan, male, 19 years old, has been a carpenter for three years, good at chiseling, and is from Erduoli, Ningning Township, Fuping County, Yuntong County."
The staff tied the piece of wood with a rope and handed it to the young man and said, "Hang it around your neck. This is your ID card. Use this thing to receive your monthly salary. Don't throw it away. If you accidentally lose it, you have to ask your superior for a replacement." ,Understand?"
"Okay, I will never drop it." Hearing that this was related to the monthly salary, the young man nervously hung the wooden sign around his neck.
One after another, a team of nearly a hundred craftsmen was quickly recruited. The soldiers were so fast that the general who received the mission did not dare to neglect and immediately arranged for these people to go to Wanghai County to take a boat.
After the estimation of several experienced crew members and local fishermen, it would be much faster to travel by water. It is undeniable that the speed of the track is fast, and the distance of thousands of miles can be reached in a few days.
Unfortunately, the track was only built to the border with Goguryeo, so it would take a long time to reach the destination by land, but it would be much easier to go by sea.
Starting directly from Wanghai County, we came to the Mazi River near Taihang, and followed the water veins northward to reach the military camp fifty miles away from Heshenggu City.
As long as more than a hundred people are collected, they will start setting off, and they will work hard for time.
In addition to more than a hundred craftsmen, the warship will also be equipped with a large number of engineering supplies, cans and other things.
With the arrival of the craftsmen, the ordnance manufacturing in the military camp instantly improved to more than one level. Especially when some Mohist disciples landed, the efficiency was absolutely amazing. Small modifications were made on the corresponding design drawings according to the surrounding situation. .
Auxiliary soldiers and strong craftsmen with no skills will be arranged to cut down trees.
At the beginning, these craftsmen were very frightened. It was freezing cold, and the tree trunks were so hard that they could not be moved. Generally, in weather like this, an ax would not cut much, but would be able to cut down a lot. My hands were numb with shaking.
But when they received the corresponding clothes and tools, everyone was stunned.
A shiny and sharp steel axe, a thick and warm felt hat, clothes and sheepskin gloves, after wearing them, it is almost warm.
Get a sharp ax
He tilted his head upwards and downwards with an axe, and suddenly a living mouth appeared in the big tree, and the wood quickly flew away.
There were also some auxiliary soldiers who cooperated tacitly, holding saw blades that were more than eight feet long, and kept sawing the tree trunks back and forth.
Often a tree that is too big for an adult to hug can be sawed off in just a cup of tea.
After correcting the forks of the branches above, use the horse to drag them towards the huge camp.
With the help of the table saw, the huge tree trunk was divided into neat strips of wood in minutes, waiting for subsequent processing.
"General!"
Young Zan wiped the sweat from his forehead and called out to a general who was passing by.
"Huh? What's the matter?"
Zan gasped and laughed, "General, did you give us our clothes, gloves and felt hats when we went back?"
The general sneered and said, "What are you thinking? These thick clothes are made of the best materials, the gloves are made of lamb hair, and some felt hats are made of wild beasts in the mountains and forests."
Seeing that Zan's expression slowly solidified, the general changed the subject and said, "But~~~ As long as we win the battle here, after you go back, you can take your monthly salary and buy it in the army. There is a special batch of clothes for your convenience. But each person can only buy three sets."
I'm a little confused "Why is this?"
"You are stupid. This is the compensation given by Wu An to your craftsmen. But some people are smart. If they buy good clothes and sell them outside, they may get two or three times the profit. If you are rich, you will not make it yourself. ?"
"If you craftsmen perform well during this period, your Majesty may reward you."
Zan nodded suddenly. Although he had made two or three times the profit, he had no idea of selling these things.
The two elders in the family are very old, and the eldest brother is disabled due to his previous service as a corvee, so three sets of clothes can be used by the family.
Thinking of my father and mother, their old appearance, their trembling figures every time they went out to pick up firewood, and their big hands holding the ax, they immediately started swinging again.
In the military camp.
The atmosphere was not as lively as the logging side, but rather a bit solemn.
People in Yuntong County will definitely obey Wu Anjun's orders unconditionally whenever something happens in the army. Anyway, they have never heard of Wu Anjun mistreating his subordinates.
If one person says that this person is good, that may not necessarily be true. If everyone says that this person is good, even if he is a bad person, it probably won't be too bad.
After all, there really aren't many fools these days.
"General, can you tell us where this is?"
"Yes, let us do something, and you have to tell us the whole story."
"Humph, we came here because of Mr. Wu An. When we got here, we went straight to work without even drinking."
Some people in gold and jade looked at Jing Huai angrily.
Jing Huai's face gradually darkened. He glanced around and understood.
In the past, my family was just a small landowner. Now that I am in the army, I have gradually made some achievements and my mental ability has been greatly tempered.
After a quick look, you can tell who are the monsters.
"Stop talking. You are not timid. Who gave you the courage to dare to act arrogantly in my military camp?"
Jing Huai stood up, and his strong figure gave everyone present an unspoken pressure.
He pointed at some other Mohist disciples who were wearing slightly shabby clothes and said, "Look at them, these are the real Mohist disciples. You wear gold and jade, but you still have the nerve to say that all the rules of the Mohist family have been swallowed up by you." Already."
Jing Huai looked at the guys he scolded like quails, and immediately became furious.
"You don't need to ask why when you are working in the army. You just need to obey the command of your superior. Now I ask you to decide on the siege equipment to be built. You must build all the engineering equipment for me within one month, otherwise~~~ Military justice!"
After Jing Huai finished speaking, he walked away directly, too lazy to talk nonsense to these people.
, Judging from the way these guys talk, the family must be prominent, but no matter how prominent it is, you have to keep quiet in Yuntong County, otherwise you may cause big trouble for the family.
After being scolded, the children of the Mo family were a little aggrieved, but when they recalled the huge battleship like a city, the frozen weather of thousands of miles of fertile fields, and the murderous soldiers, they suddenly withered.
The Mohist rules are actually very strict. Compared with other doctrines, it is more like a gang, and even overrides local laws to a certain extent.
Can this be tolerated?
However, since Junzi died hundreds of years ago, it has also been divided. From being famous before to being ignored now.
In the end, the reason is that the regulations are too rigid. The first priority that Mohists must abide by is the Mohist rules. The money earned must be handed over to the Mohists. Not many people can tolerate this alone.
There are also a group with many rules. After the split, although some Mohists still regard themselves as members of the Mohist family, their ascetic life has long been left behind.
With ability and a stage, it is not difficult to make a fortune, so many Mohists now have a high net worth.
After everyone calmed down, they began to study some siege equipment suitable for this place. qs
After Ran Jing gave the order, the craftsmen just asked people to cut down the wood and assembled a few machines. Now they have to dismantle them all and build them again.
After two or three days, the following siege equipment was determined.
Borrowed carts/catapults: "Mozi Bei City Gate" records: "All borrowed carts are made of iron. The pillars of the borrowed carts are seven feet long, and those of Yuanli are four feet long."
Cart crossbow: Yuntong County's more advanced three-bow bed crossbow, so it can be ignored directly, because at this time, a large number of three-bow bed crossbows have been transported by warships.
Linchong Lu Gongcha: A siege tower with eight wheels and five floors high. When approaching the city, put down wooden planks to connect to the city wall. The soldiers will walk up from the inner stairs, pass by the wooden planks, and come to the city to show off and perform. Hand-to-hand combat.
Of course, the Linchong Lugong Car also has limitations. It is built based on the height of the city. The higher is not the better. The higher it means, the larger the base, the heavier it is, and the more difficult it is to move.
