Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-fifth: Being Pitted and Pitted
"Brothers are all good, Lao Luo, just endure it. After this period of time, everything will be fine..." He stood up and patted Luo Wen on the shoulder. Xiao Han was also a little uninterested. In this time of chaos,
What can anyone do?
"Of course the brothers are good, but these days, everyone is here to bully us. Just after sending away the Turks, the damn Qiang people came to rob the grain truck again. The brothers are now transporting grain, and they are all very nervous. I don't know.
A bunch of Qiang people with knives and guns came out from nowhere to grab food. Although the King of Qin now sent troops to escort along the way, the escorts also had to eat food. Plus the people and horses transporting food, when they arrived at the destination, they
There is only about 30% to 40% of the truck food left..."
After listening patiently to Luo Wen, Xiao Han's hand that patted his shoulder suddenly tightened, then let go, walked around Luo Wen, sat opposite him again, stared at him, and said slowly: "Brother Luo, you
Just tell me, what do you want to do?"
Luo Wen was still silent on the suffering battlefield. Hearing Xiao Han suddenly change the subject, his face couldn't help but froze, and he looked up at Xiao Han embarrassedly: "You, you can see it?"
"Nonsense! Who taught you this? You are all stupid as pigs, who doesn't understand you, I don't understand you? You are just a killer who has been looking forward to fighting all your life! I still believe it when you say that your brother is suffering, but when someone says someone robs you,
?
I guess the person who robbed you has gone to hell to repent a long time ago! What do you think some people want to do now? They have learned to beat around the bush? Why can’t you just say it directly? I can still bear being tricked by Tang Jian, but if I get tricked by you again
Make a show and I’ll jump into the river right now!”
"Xiao Hou, please don't. It's my brother's fault. You can't jump into the river. If you jump into the river, I will be beaten to death by King Qin when I go back..."
Rowan's face was wrinkled into a bitter melon. He was good at asking him to kill people with a knife or scolding his incompetent subordinates! But he was really not good at asking him to lie to people...
His father once said: Quartermasters cannot cheat, otherwise they will lose their heads! So Luo Wen, who has never been able to lie since he was a child, was put on the shelf this time by Chai Shao's bad idea, which was really difficult for him...
"Don't talk nonsense, tell me, whose idea was it? Are you really treating me like an idiot?"
"Um..." Luo Wen thought for less than a second, and decisively sold his Shangguan, and said to Xiao Han in a flattering manner: "This was not Supervisor Chai Shao's idea. All the armors you sent were stolen by him."
They were divided, but when King Qin asked, he only had two sets in hand. King Qin repaired them severely, and then sent me for help. Hey, don't mention it, Xiaohou, you are really good at making armor! Knife chop.
No damage, not as good as being soaked in water, the protective power is incredible!
At first, everyone saw that the armor was so dark that they thought it was a defective product. However, the person who sent the armor to you was also very tough. He took out the knife from the body of Old Liu, who was the most skeptical, and slashed the armor on the car with one knife.
As a result, there was not even a mark on the armor, but the knife had a broken tooth! The owner of the knife, Old Liu, was in pain and hugged the knife as if his wife had died..."
Hearing what Luo Wen said, Xiao Han finally stopped being angry: "Nonsense, what I made, could it be defective? Every piece of nail leaf on it is made of the best steel ingots, folded several times, then quenched, and treated with anti-rust treatment.
How can it be compared to those crappy things!"
Xiao Han's words are not bragging. Indeed, a group of skilled craftsmen have worked hard to combine various craftsmanship. The armor produced in this way is definitely more than a little bit better than what is currently in use!
"Yes, yes..." Luo Wen keenly noticed that Xiao Han's mood had improved, and quickly complimented him, then continued with a grimace: "However, Xiao Hou, your output of fifty sets this month is too small.
…At this rate, if we equip a military guard, it won’t be enough for ten years. Manager Buchai is so anxious that he can’t even sleep. Let me coax and prod you to help, and give him five thousand sets first…”
Before he finished speaking, Luo Wen glanced at Xiao Han guiltily. Sure enough, Xiao Han's face was now full of astonishment.
"Otherwise, four thousand sets...three thousand sets will also work. Of course, if it is because of money issues, I am here to discuss with you this time and never let my family suffer..."
Luo Wen's voice became softer and quieter, and he probably felt that Supervisor Chai Shao was a little pushy.
Sighing, Xiao Han patted the table, stood up and said to Luo Wen: "We are not outsiders. Speaking of which, I also came from our army. We are all a family. There is no reason why I should not give you good things."
! But look, I only have so many people here, working day and night, and I can produce at most a hundred sets in a month. You also know that this thing cannot be fast, and all procedures cannot be sloppy..."
"Then, you recruit more people..." Luo Wen tried to say, but he immediately felt that this was a bad idea, and quickly picked up the water glass to drink water. Naturally, fewer people know about military technology like this.
The better, where outsiders who don’t know the details dare to get involved.
Sure enough, Xiao Han shook his head and said to Luo Wen: "Man, I am doing this trick, but unfortunately the effect is not very good. Most of the blacksmiths now are in the military camp, and they are still indispensable in the army. Besides, even if there are enough people, they are not that good."
More steel for my use.
The iron ore I bought in advance is almost used now. The quality of the ore outside is different. The best producing area, Hebei, is controlled by Dou Jiande. Also, I recently discovered that someone is tampering with the supply of iron.
It was originally scheduled to be delivered every half a month, but recently it was changed to one month. It was said that the supply was insufficient, and I was very helpless..."
"What? There's this guy, I'm going to fuck his grandma!"
Before Xiao Han could finish speaking, Luo Wen jumped up angrily on the spot, his eyes were red, and he said to Xiao Han: "Don't worry, Marquis Xiao, who provided you with the iron material, you tell me, now I will
I went to Chang'an to ask him, but he rebelled against him. He even dared to do small things with the King of Qin's things. He was so tired of living. Believe it or not, the King of Qin sent an order and asked his whole family to go to the battle!
Luo Wen was furious. The whole family was waiting for Xiao Han to put the rice into the pot, but someone stuck his neck on it. He was going to piss him off to death!
When Xiao Han saw that Luo Wen was about to rush out angrily, he quickly stopped him: "Lao Luo, Lao Luo, don't be anxious, eat first, it's not too late to go tomorrow!"
"I can't wait! Xiao Hou, just sit here and I'll go meet this group of profiteers. I have to ask them to send you all their capital and profits! I can't help you solve the big problem, but I, Lao Luo, can still solve this small problem.
It’s done! It’s not too late to eat food and other things later, Xiao Hou, please take your leave now!”
Having said that, Luo Wen rushed out of the door in a dusty manner. Amid Xiao Han's plea, he directly climbed on his horse and headed straight for Chang'an! The men in the military camp did not procrastinate at all...
After Luo Wen left, Zhang Qiang arrived belatedly. He and Luo Wen were old acquaintances. When he learned that he was coming this time, he rushed over to take a look. He looked around and didn't see Luo Wen. He only saw Xiao Han.
The old god is here to drink water.
"Where's that bastard Rowan? Didn't you say he's here? Where has he gone?"
Zhang Qiang sat down on his seat. When he saw that the water glass in front of him was still half full of water, he knew that someone had indeed come just now.
Xiao Han smiled slyly: "Let him solve the trouble for us."
"Trouble? What trouble do we have?" Hearing what Xiao Han said, Zhang Qiang was a little confused.
"Iron materials are troublesome. Didn't you say that we specialize in salt and iron? Our orders are so big that the merchants who supply iron materials are so scared that they don't dare to supply in large quantities. They think they have to hoard weapons. They don't even listen to the explanation. This time
Come on Luo Wen and let him make a fuss. Now everyone will probably know that the iron material is from King Qin, which will save us a lot of trouble!"
"Oh..." Zhang Qiang nodded. He didn't know that Luo Wen was tricked by Xiao Han. He just thought that this was indeed a problem that the quartermaster wanted to solve, so he didn't think much about it. He took another cup and gave it to himself.
He poured the water, drank it all, wiped his mouth and said, "He is going to Chang'an. It seems that he won't be able to come back today. It just so happens that I have to pack up. Although we are all familiar with each other, some things are not suitable.
Let him see that the mild steel coming out of the blacksmith recently is good, and he has shot a few small crossbows with good accuracy and power. Apart from the slow launch, there are no other shortcomings, but the output is too low. The water turbine you mentioned
When can it be used?"
"I guess it will be soon..." Xiao Han scratched his head. He was not particularly aware of the recent development of this matter, but he could often see Lao Zhao and Director Cao leading people to conduct experiments by the river.
This thing was all carried out by Master Cao and Lao Zhao from the time it was proposed to the research. He just proposed the theory of the axis and didn't bother with it. Of course, he really didn't understand this thing. The only thing
My impression is that of the big round wheel I saw on TV. After being gesticulated by Chief Cao and others, he was invited out by a few people. It seems that the technicians hate themselves the most, guys who are dissatisfied with only one bottle and sway with half the bottle, especially
He also likes to come up with bad ideas...
"You, you, you don't pay attention to such an important thing, and you go around playing crazy every day, you are simply not a son of a human being!"
After pouring a bottle of water and glaring at Xiao Han, Zhang Qiang decided to get up and take a look.
Zhang Qiang now feels like Xiao Han's big housekeeper, taking care of all the trivial matters. Xiao Han is extremely idle all day long. He and the others are almost exhausted, but even so, nothing they do seems to be as good as Xiao Han's.
Han's seemingly random action is important.
For example, Mr. Cao, whose origin is unknown, really has a few brushes. He can even think of a waterwheel. He has already seen the model. When the time comes, there will be no need for manpower. As long as the river flows, the waterwheel will move.
The hammer replaces a person in striking iron, and can also pull the bellows along with it. It is simply a genius idea!
In fact, Xiao Han didn't even bother to explain to him. In fact, waterwheels were used on a large scale for irrigation and rice pounding in the Han Dynasty. However, very few such good things were passed down. Let alone him, even Chengtian claimed to know three things.
The teacher who was in charge of everything in the world didn't even know. Zhang Qiang ran over to ask a few more questions in order to seek confirmation, and was even slapped by the angry teacher! Who is he!
