In reality, everyone's assets have been counted and turned into a bunch of numbers. As for the role of these numbers, the federal government has not announced it.
In the morning, Ouyang Shuo called Sun Xiaoyue to find out about her grandfather's summoning of scientists.
According to Xiaoyue, her grandfather has contacted more than 20 scientists in the past half a month, and they are temporarily staying in Dali Mansion, and Xiaoyue takes them with him to familiarize himself with the game environment.
In addition, Ouyang Shuo asked Sun Xiaoyue to do one more thing, and that was to investigate the situation of the Cui family in Dali Mansion, especially the Cui family's reaction after Cui Yingyou disappeared.
After the territory was promoted to the county seat, Ouyang Shuo gradually had the confidence to contact the Cui family. While Sun Xiaoyue was still in Dali Mansion, he wanted her to be the matchmaker.
In the afternoon, Song Jia called Ouyang Shuo again.
Ouyang Shuo's military talisman and letter really worked, successfully impressing the Song family. Song Jia and Ruan Ping's marriage has been postponed indefinitely.
After Song Jia heard the news, she couldn't help but admire Ouyang Shuo. In front of Ouyang Shuo, she showed her daughter's side more and more, and often called him.
In the evening, Ouyang Shuo went online on time.
After completing the routine training, Ouyang Shuo did not stop at the Lord's Mansion, but walked towards the East District. For more than half a month, although the city wall has not been completed, the county town planning has been updated in place ahead of schedule.
The East District is the exclusive area for the Bow and Crossbow Division Workshop, the Jiafang Division Workshop, the Weapon Workshop and the Alchemy Workshop.
Ouyang Shuo walked into the Bow and Crossbow Division's workshop. Wu Peng, the director of the Bow and Crossbow Division and workshop supervisor, a senior bow maker, greeted him, and said respectfully, "My lord!"
In ancient society, the social status of skilled personnel or craftsmen was very low. Therefore, these skilled talents generally have low self-esteem, and they are very respectful to Ouyang Shuo, the lord, including Lu Guangzhi, a senior carpenter, Du Chun, a senior brewer, Zhu Youzhi, a pottery maker, and others. . Perhaps, only Wang Zi, the director of the Jiafang Division and a master blacksmith, is an outlier.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and asked, "Director Wu, how much has the crossbow machine been built?"
The structure of a crossbow can be divided into three parts: arm, bow, machine. The "arm" is generally made of wood; the "bow" is across the front of the arm; the "machine" is installed behind the arm.
The crossbow machine that Ouyang Shuo refers to is the most important part of the crossbow, the "machine".
The crossbow machine is generally made of copper, or iron, and is installed in the "Guo" of the crossbow. The front is the "teeth" for hanging strings, and the "teeth" is connected with "Wangshan". "Wangshan" is engraved with a scale, which is equivalent to the gauge on modern firearms. It is convenient to adjust the shooting angle of the crossbow according to the target distance and improve the hit rate of shooting.
Below the Tong Guo there is a "hanging knife", which is the trigger, which is used to shoot arrows.
When the crossbow is fired, first open the string, hold it on the "teeth" of the crossbow machine, install the arrow in the arrow slot on the "arm", aim through the "Wangshan", and pull the "hanging knife" to make the " The "tooth" is retracted, the string is unhooked, and the kinetic energy formed by the rapid rebound of the opened bowstring is used to shoot the arrow at high speed.
Twenty days ago, not long after being promoted in Shanhai County, Ouyang Shuo suddenly visited the Bow and Crossbow Division workshop and asked them to make a batch of crossbows with all their strength, the quantity should not be less than 100,000 pieces.
Although Wu Peng, the director of bow and crossbow department, was puzzled by such a strange request from the lord, out of inferiority and obedience, he did not raise any objections, but obediently followed it.
The crossbow machine is not like a bow, the material is not difficult to find, and the requirements are also very simple. It can be directly forged with iron ore. However, the output of bows and crossbows is limited by materials such as bow strings, horns, and cowhide, and the output has not been able to increase.
Because the crossbow division also has to take into account the manufacture of other finished crossbows, it can only forge an additional 500 pieces of crossbows per day on average. As of now, it has just forged 10,000 pieces.
After listening to Wu Peng's report, Ouyang Shuo was not satisfied, and said, "Director Wu, we still need to speed up the progress. The production of finished bows and crossbows can be reduced appropriately. Anyway, the demand for bows and crossbows during this period is not too great."
"Understood!" Wu Peng nodded in response.
Ouyang Shuo came out from the Bow and Crossbow Division, and then walked into the Jiafang Division's workshop next to it.
It has been three and a half months since the establishment of Jiafang Division. In early May, that is, when Jiafang Division was established for nearly two months, Jiafang Division delivered 50 sets of Mingguang armor to the cavalry battalion and 100 sets of infantry armor to the infantry battalion for the first time.
These two batches of armor played an important role in the Battle of Zhuolu, and they shocked the Quartet.
Similarly, this batch of armor also suffered damage to varying degrees. The damaged armor was brought back to the main map and handed over to Jiafang Division for repair. It has been re-delivered to the cavalry battalion and infantry battalion.
After two months of labor pains, the artisan group of Jiafang Division finally began to gradually take shape. Today, Jiafang Division has 1 master blacksmith, 4 senior blacksmiths, 20 intermediate blacksmiths, and 150 junior blacksmiths. In contrast, there are 1 master tailor consultant, 1 senior tailor, 5 intermediate tailors, and 10 junior tailors.
For such a large group of craftsmen, the monthly salary is 340 gold coins, more than the military expenditure of a battalion, not including the consultant Mu Qingsi's fee.
After the labor pains, the results are remarkable. Beginning in May, Jiafang Division can forge 150 sets of Mingguang armor and 200 sets of infantry armor every month.
Because the two batches of armor delivered in early May were all forged before May. Therefore, at the end of May, the Jiafang Division delivered another 150 sets of Mingguang armor to the Pioneer Battalion and 200 sets of infantry armor to the First Battalion of the Mixed Brigade.
According to this speed, the Pioneer Battalion can be completed by the end of July. The first battalion of the mixed brigade can be completed by the end of June; as for the second battalion of the mixed brigade, it will not be ready until mid-September.
In a short period of time, the output of Jiafang Division will not increase too much. Apprentices with slight blacksmith qualifications in one territory have been searched out, and now they can only be slowly searched among the newly spawned refugees. Second, the supply of iron ore has also encountered bottlenecks.
The only mining farm in Shanhai County needs to supply weapons workshops to forge Tang knives and horse lances, supply bow and crossbow divisions to forge crossbow machines and arrows, and supply Jiafang division to forge armor. The supply limit has been reached, and even increasing miners is useless. Because the place is so big, it cannot be spread out.
The only way is to find new iron mines in the territory.
After leaving Jiafang Division, Ouyang Shuo returned to the Lord's Mansion and continued to deal with government affairs.
…
In the following week, Feng Qingyang's Jianxia Town and Dichen's Handan Town were promoted to first-tier counties successively. Especially for Handan Town, it was not easy for it to rise again in the shortest possible time after its failure.
In this way, there are seven territories at the county level in China. In the competition for the top ten places, there are only three spots left, and it is still unknown who will win.
Whether it's the Bawang Town of Xiongba, the Shura Town of Shabajun, the illusory Fallen Leaf Town, the Stubborn Stone Town of だ砆, or even the Xunlong Town of Xunlong Dianxue, there are opportunities.
These five territories belong to the third rank. Compared with Shanhai County in the first rank, Danyang County, Luofeng County, Chixue County, Lingxi County, Jianxia County and Handan County in the second rank are one step behind. In a short period of time, they may not have the confidence to apply for promotion. Especially in towns like Obanshi Town and Xunlong Town, even the basic conditions are not met.
The decline of the Sha Po Army was within Ouyang Shuo's expectation. In his previous life, Sha Po Jun was the weakest of the Handan Six Overlords. Because the forces represented by the Shapo Army have inherent defects. These groups of them wandering in the gray area, once the assets in reality are frozen, the rich and powerful will ignore them. They are like a chamber pot, then, when they are no longer needed, they are thrown aside.
These people are naturally fierce in fighting and fighting, but they still lack a bit of fire to manage the territory.
During this week, Swimming Town became the biggest highlight in the entire territory. There were one medium-sized tribe and four small tribes who settled in Swimming Town. In other words, the three tribes who hesitated before all decided to go down the mountain. Coupled with the small tribe at the beginning, the population of Swimming Town increased by 14,000 at once.
In the southern area, among the Shanman tribes that cooperated with Shanhai County, including the Xuanniao tribe, only two medium-sized tribes and four small tribes remained in the mountains.
Except for the Xuanniao tribe and the three small tribes relying on the Langshan Mine, the remaining medium-sized and small tribes are all diehards, and it will be difficult to persuade them to go down the mountain in a short time.
With the arrival of the Shanman, the population of Shuishui Town has exceeded 20,000, and it has been upgraded to two levels in a row, making it a second-level county. Zhao Dexian was also appointed as the county magistrate of Yushui as a matter of course.
The ambitious Zhao Dexian proposed a plan of 400,000 mu of farmland.
In Zhao Dexian's plan, Yushui County will reclaim 380,000 mu of farmland before August, increasing the scale of farmland in Yushui County to 400,000 mu.
Based on an average of 10 mu of land per person, 400,000 mu would require 40,000 farmers to cultivate. However, Yushui County is currently full of resources, and there are only less than 20,000 farmers, and more than half of them are newbies in agriculture like Shanman. If the elderly and children are excluded, there will be even fewer real laborers.
At first glance, the target of 400,000 mu seems a bit aggressive and exaggerated.
In fact, Zhao Dexian has his own plans. Yushui County uses a silver-level village building token, and the refugee attraction rate has increased by 40%. That is to say, at the county stage, 280 refugees can be generated every day, and 8,400 refugees can be generated every month.
There is still more than a month until the second season of rice planting in early August. In other words, as long as one and a half months of difficulties are overcome, the population of Yushui Town will exceed the 40,000 mark by mid-September.
In Zhao Dexian's view, it is very cost-effective to work harder ahead in exchange for half a year's grain harvest. Since Zhao Dexian calculated it so clearly, of course Ouyang Shuo has no reason to disagree.
