Qin Meng quickly pulled Wei Da aside and whispered, "Weida, this attitude is a bit bad. You said you gave the newcomer off the horse to facilitate management and training. I have nothing to say, but it should not be so straightforward. Right?"
Wei Da arched his hands and said: "General, you don't know. Among the recruits, those from the peasant family are better. The daily formation, running and jumping, can clenched their teeth. Just the so-called powerful children of the gang, move. If you move, you will chirp and askew. It's not amazing, can you be obedient?"
Qin Meng frowned slightly. According to his assumption, everyone should be treated equally, and the last trained personnel were all capable staff who could be used immediately.
Compared with the selection of the army, the physical quality of these people is definitely far from the same, and Wei Da also reduced the training intensity as appropriate.
But some children from aristocratic families came in through donations, so they couldn't train people to run away. Or even eliminated them all directly with this excuse.
One or two, or five or six children from the aristocratic family can still make sense. If the children of the aristocratic family are eliminated in large quantities, they will inevitably be suspected of killing the donkey.
After thinking for a while, Qin Meng said: "Weida, since I asked you to train these people, of course I have absolute trust in you. However, these people are not members of the military after all. If you encounter problems, you should be flexible. The scolding, your authority, I want to defend it hard, no one can provoke it."
Speaking of this, Qin Meng groaned: "In this way, tell these people that all their performances are under your record. At that time, the court will use whoever does not use others, but it depends on the daily performance. Normal performance is not. Okay, not up to the requirements. Why should I use you in the end?"
Wei Da stuck his tongue out: "General, your method is good, but, but, you really can't recognize a few words in a humble job. How do you record this?"
Qin Meng glared, "Do you know the benefits of studying this time? Originally, I wanted Wei Liang to do this, but he was too young and energetic to get you here. In a few years, The world is peaceful. What the court needs is talents who can read and write, and don’t need people who can fight wars. What do you do? Shall you be a robber? When the court rewards money is spent, should you go to plant the land? Is it more comfortable than reading? Let you study and not study, the day you are not old! Reading books, the older you become, the more refined the court will be. Every day, reading is just like decapitating. At that time, there will be a lot of blind people who will not be able to do anything, and a lot of wives and children, all of them will be farming with you, so it will be completely comfortable!"
Wei Da looked bitterly melon: "General, you are too depressing, right? Talking about the matter well, why is it so far involved?"
Qin Meng shouted: "Far away! Turks are powerful, right? They have been crushing our northern central plains for hundreds of years. When today's son complied with the destiny of heaven, once he took the position, in just a few years, he reversed the disadvantage of repeated battles against the Turks. Turkic people knelt down and called Daddy. It’s not far away. Wait until you need to read a book, and you won’t be hot after eating shit.”
Wei Da's face flushed with suffocation, and he babbled for a long time without answering any words.
"General, now Xie Tue, the chief officer has returned, I'll go and get Wei Liang to help, okay? The humble post is getting older, and reading is unrealistic, but Wei Liang, a little bastard, doesn't want to study well, so I have to kill him. He can't."
Affirmed by Qin Meng, Wei Da immediately ordered someone to call Wei Liang and let him come quickly.
Wei Liang didn't know where the tent was. When he arrived in front of Qin Meng Wei Da, he was kicked in the chest by Wei Da, and he threw his legs into the sky.
"Uncle. Uncle, I haven't violated the military regulations, don't fight, don't fight, general, I haven't violated the military regulations in my humble position." When Wei Liang saw his uncle, he raised his eyebrows and raised his stance to start training, and hurriedly begged for mercy. , I was beaten in vain, arrogantly arrogant
Qin Meng coughed heavily, and Wei Da finally took the posture of beating.
Wei Da was not polite, and his fingers almost touched Wei Liang's nose: "I ask you, have you been studying hard during this time?"
"I have read it, Uncle, I swear, since your last teaching, my nephew has been studying very hard." Wei Liang was careful and replied in a low voice.
"Then recite a paragraph to me." Wei Da stab said.
"Guanguan... Jujiu, in... in the river... in the... continent, slim... lady, gentleman... good..."
As soon as he came back here, Wei Da snapped a big mouth, and directly fanned Wei Liang around.
Wei Liang's tears were about to come down: "Uncle, my nephew is here to endorse. Why are you hitting me again?"
Wei Da snorted: "You are also called an endorsement? You stubbornly, I don't know, I thought you were born to stutter. Look at our general, what kind of style is that? Come with your mouth open and have a meal. Literary words are more slippery than nonsense. That's what is called reading. Reading to the bottom of your heart, are you worthy?"
Qin Meng's eyes almost didn't fall off when he heard it. What is this? Quoting sages and sages, you can go smoothly. How can you call it more slippery than talking nonsense? Is this a compliment or a curse
But Wei Da didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what he said: "You say you can memorize a book and sway your head and tail for what you are doing? Also, what book do you read? At a young age, I didn't do much shit. , Miss women?"
Qin Meng saw that this was really outrageous, so he immediately interjected: "Weida, General Wei, let's stop. Wei Liang, he studied the famous articles in the "Book of Songs", and that's how other people's articles are. Reading is like this, pay attention to yin and yang. Shaking your head and shaking your head is also taught by the master. This, let's not make a joke, okay?"
Wei Da then breathed a sigh of relief: "Wei Liang, I am no better than a general, and I have a reason to let you study. What I told you is old fists and old fists! If you think you can resist my fist, then I can't help it. , I had to call you Lao Tzu."
Qin Meng's heart felt like this, and I co-authored this trick to invite parents. It was not only for later generations. In ancient times, this was also a trick that was tried and tested.
Sure enough, Wei Liang knelt down with a puff: "Uncle, you don't have to pay. My father said, if he doesn't listen to you, if he finds his old man's place, he will kill me directly. General, help. ."
Qin Meng couldn't stand it anymore: "Weida, you taught your children, I shouldn't have said anything. But, after all, Wei Liang is my subordinate. In public, if you teach you such a lesson, is it not even the general's face? Up?"
Wei Da stunned, and quickly bowed his hands to express his fear.
Qin Meng pulled Wei Liang up and looked at this rebellious young man, feeling wronged into this way, and he couldn't bear it.
"Wei Liang, your uncle is also for your own good, study hard so that you will be able to shine in the future. Okay, with your uncle, train these people well. I have delegated the power to your uncle. What does he say? Just do it whatever you want."
Qin Meng comforted Wei Liang and asked Wei Da to gather these selected people. Let Yang Sheng join in, rehearse again, and once again elaborated on his employment standards.
This time, Qin Meng emphasized the importance of literacy. As long as someone can understand official documents and communicate in simple words, then this kind of talent. Priority is given to the job, and the salary given is twice as much as that of the average small official, which is directly twenty taels a year!
Everyone exclaimed one by one, but Wei Liang felt terrified. His uncle couldn't teach him because of the crowd, but the look in his eyes. It's enough to make people tremble.
After Qin Mengxun finished speaking, he had just explained that Wei Da Wei Liang should pay attention to the matter, and he came to report with his own soldiers, saying that it was someone from Qinghe who needed goods to be checked by Qin Meng himself.
Qinghe? Qin Meng was a little surprised. Lin Kejun must have sent someone over. At this time, it should be when she was busiest, how could she send someone over
Qin Meng couldn't think about it, so he hurried over and saw that Lin Gao had brought dozens of trucks and goods.
"General, my lady is thinking of you and asked me to deliver the goods." Lin Gaolibi said.
What surprised Qin Meng was that in addition to some precious leather goods and New Year's gifts, Lin Kejun also had dozens of cars. It was the saltpeter and sulfur he asked Lin Kejun to send next spring.
Gunpowder is the pride of the Central Plains civilization, and it is also the eternal pain in the lingering heart.
This thing was originally invented by the Central Plains, but later, it was carried forward by the shaggy ghost, opening the Central Plains door to a great country that has been closed for thousands of years.
Qin Meng’s thoughts were all on saltpeter and sulfur, and he was very courteous with Lin Gao, but he was always distracted. When Lin Gao said goodbye, in order to make up for his impoliteness, Guan Xiang took twelve taels of silver as a gift. Yu Lin Gao. At the same time, he doubled the cost of saltpeter and sulfur.
Sending away to Lingao, Qin Meng asked Xie Yun to send someone to block the barracks. He and Xie Yun were together. Playing with saltpeter and sulfur.
Some things seem simple, but in actual operation, it is really not the case.
Monosulfur, dinitrogen and three charcoal, this is the standard gunpowder formula, but because there are impurities in the raw materials that cannot be eliminated, you have to experiment a little bit with the best combination formula based on the existing raw materials and in general proportions.
Xie Yun, but the person who crawled out of the sea of blood in the dead mountain.
However, what Qin Meng was instigating still shocked him.
What is this? Take the fire a little, rub it against the flames so high, and it's as dazzling as lightning.
It took a long time. Xie Yun slowly adapted to it.
After tinkering with the existing materials and formulating gunpowder, I made a bunch of gunpowder, Qin Meng thought, from simple to complex, let's try a firecracker.
But when he stretched out his hand to make firecrackers, Qin Meng discovered that professional things are really not just a layman's thinking.
For one thing, the paper for making firecrackers is not as sufficient as later generations. It is everywhere.
Secondly, Qin Meng knew that he needed to wrap the gunpowder firmly with paper, and seal the end with yellow mud.
But with such a small production process, Qin Meng froze for several days before he came up with a method.
Take a thick wooden stick of a teacup and paste it on the stick with paper. When the paper dries, take the stick out and paste yellow mud on one end of the empty bucket. Fill the gunpowder press after the yellow mud is dry. In fact, by connecting the fuse in the front section, a firecracker has been made.
In the middle of the night, the city of Wuwei was extremely quiet and everyone fell asleep. Suddenly, a sound of explosion spread for ten miles. After a short silence, the frying pan in Wuwei city generally went into chaos. The warning gong kept ringing, and the Wuwei City Defense Army lit a torch and quickly searched the city to investigate where the sound came from. (End of this chapter)
