Wei's Blacksmith Shop in Xiuwu County sent something special.
Shao Shude personally took off a piece of mutton chop and began to cut the fat on it.
The charcoal burned quietly, grilling the iron plate. After seeing that the temperature of the iron plate was about the same, Shao Shude threw the meat on it.
The fat slowly gathers in the middle, and the golden ribs are filled with aroma, arousing people's appetite.
The large iron plate should be the biggest technological breakthrough of Wei's Blacksmith Shop in recent years.
The inability to make large pieces of iron not only restricts the military industry, but also greatly restricts the development of civilian ironware. You see, with an iron pan, the grilled lamb ribs are delicious.
"Gentlemen, open my wine." Shao Shude laughed and sat aside.
Li Zhong took a step forward and continued to barbecue.
Back then, his father cooked meat for the King of Xia on the Hetao Grassland, and now his son is grilling meat on the iron plate. Both generations of father and son have to trust him, which is extremely valuable.
Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng, who had a dusty look on their faces, finally arrived in Ruzhou. Guo Fu followed behind them, his expression a little reserved, but he gradually became a bit like a big shot.
The qualifications of a Tielin military judge who came from the Suizhou era are certainly not comparable to those of ordinary people.
The Tielin Army came over, but Princess Zhe and a group of people still stayed in Lingzhou. Zhao Yu, the "Princess Litong", gave birth to a son at the end of May, which made Shao Shude's heart drop.
Yesterday, he personally named Duanfeng. So far, there are Siwu (Zhao family), Chengjie (Zhe family), Mianren (Feng family), Guancheng (Zhuge family), Huixian (Pei family),
With the eight sons Mingyi (Zhe family), Shenli (Jiang family) and Duanfeng (Zhao family), the Shaw family gradually became prosperous. It should be even more prosperous in the future. After all, the size of Jinxianguan’s fertility preparation women’s army is still
Can continue to expand.
This time, Zhuge also came with his three sons and his fourth son. One is ten years old and the other is nine years old. They can continue to receive a higher level of education, including practical education.
The bottle of fine grape wine from Xiazhou was opened, and Shao Shude personally poured wine for Chen Cheng, Zhao Guangfeng, Guo Xiao and Xiao Fu.
I just put down the wine jar, thought about it, and got up to pour a bowl for a certain craftsman standing beside me.
"You are the eleventh son of the Weicai family, right? You have devoted yourself to iron smelting. Yes, I will reward you with this bowl of wine." Shao Shude smiled and said, "When you go back, I will reward you with two jars of Xiazhou grape wine and two jars of Shuofang raw wine.
Find a car and take it back by yourself."
When the eleventh man heard this, his brows lit up with joy and he thanked him repeatedly.
"I heard that you have trial-produced equipment in Ruzhou. How does it compare to practicing martial arts?" Shao Shude asked.
"A certain person mined Ru coal in Liang County and forged more than ten pieces of equipment, including swords, guns and swords. He also co-made a collar of armor with others, but it was not very good." Shiyilang replied: "Weapons are easy to break.
, the armor and stomach are also easily penetrated by heavy arrows.”
"Isn't that the same as Guanbei Coal?" Shao Shude frowned and asked, "Why isn't Xiuwu Coal like this?"
Most of the instruments used by Xia Jun are still smelted with charcoal, and a small number of them are smelted with Xiuwu coal. The effect is good, at least it does not look worse than those made with charcoal. But it can only be made with Xiuwu coal.
Coal from other places, such as Tongzhou coal, Ruzhou coal and even Henan Prefecture, is far less effective. It cannot pass the inspection of the military envoy's Yamen.
Originally, Wei's blacksmith shop was based on quantity, but in fact the quality of the weapons was not that good. Unlike Yeli's, who often produced some high-quality products, Weicai's was good at making medium-quality ordnance. And since it was about quantity, then if the quality
Very bad, even if you are a "relative of the emperor", you will not be able to continue this business, and you will even be troubled by the warriors.
"It should be as the king said, there are many impurities in your coal that are invisible to the naked eye." Shiyilang replied.
"Have you ever looked for these impurities?"
"I saw it when I was burning charcoal. Your coal emits yellow smoke and the smell is very strong."
"Find a way to collect them and see what they are." Shao Shude said.
"How...how to put away the cigarette?" Shiyilang was stunned.
Shao Shude thought for a while and said: "For example, if the water in Guangchengze is severely cold in winter, the lake will freeze. Ice is water, and water is ice. If it is very hot in summer or the water is boiled, the water will turn into ice.
Qi. There are traces for everything, so you can figure it out yourself. If you get something, why should I reward you so much?"
Last year's King of Xia reward of 3,600 coins was won by Wang Yong of Henan.
He combined long-term breeding experience, summarized and sublimated it, and wrote a book. He believes that people, livestock, and plants all have "bloodlines". There are many types of bloodlines. Taking horses as an example, some bloodlines can run fast, and some have longer bloodlines.
The horse has a high score, and some bloodlines allow the horse to run for a long time, and so on.
He believed that these bloodlines could be refined, fixed, and cultivated for special-purpose livestock. For example, draft horses needed to have good endurance and strong strength, cavalry needed to be tall and fast, and mounted infantry needed to have good endurance and be able to withstand rough feeding.
, and lists a large number of different bloodline uses in the book.
Shao Shude personally reviewed and commented.
Although the content is still a bit crude and even contains some errors, it is the first of its kind and has pioneering significance in breeding theory. Therefore, Wang Yong was designated as the winner of the first "Xia King Award" and sent 3,600 coins.
Send it to his home and give him a certificate to express his praise.
"I will obey the king's order. I will think of a solution after I return." Shiyilang immediately responded.
The issuance of the King of Xia Award has a sensational effect. At least in the Guanzhong, Guanbei, and Helong areas, everyone with a little information channels knows about it. And because this thing is so rare and the reward is so generous, it can almost be said that it is full.
It has a spreading effect and many people are talking about it.
I heard that this year the Xia King's Award is likely to be awarded to a peasant woman because she has made considerable improvements in wool spinning and weaving machines and has been recognized by the Xia King. She will become rich overnight and will also get a married woman.
The title is even more shocking than the first Wang Yong. Wang Yong was still a scholar after all.
After the eleventh man left, Shao Shude invited everyone to drink and eat meat.
"The Tielin Army is about to start reorganizing." Shao Shude said: "I will be the military envoy personally, and the deputy envoy Ye Liyu will be appointed."
After reorganization, the senior generals of the Tielin Army include one military envoy, deputy envoy, Du Yuhou, Du Youyi envoy, left wing soldier and horse envoy, and right wing army envoy. Among them, Du Yuhou is Zheng Yong, and Du Youyi is the envoy.
As for Xu Hao, these are all old men originally from the Tielin Army.
The military envoy to the left wing is Guo Qi, and the envoy to the right wing is Zhen Xu. Both of them can be considered old men.
Each of the left and right compartments has deputy military envoys, Yuhou and You Yi envoys. Shao Shude plans to select martial arts students with several years of war experience to serve.
Each troop commanded 12,000 infantry troops and 3,000 cavalry troops. There was a commander for every 2,000 infantry troops. The specific description was the first commander and second commander of the infantry troops of a certain army...
The cavalry has a commander for every five hundred men.
The second officer on the left of the commander is the deputy commander. Below the commander are the battalion, team, and fire, each with its own official position.
The Wuwei Army has already begun its reorganization. The military envoy Lu Huaizhong, the deputy envoy Li Yixian, and the positions of Du Yuhou will be transferred to Li Zhong, the military commander. To be honest, Shao Shude is quite reluctant to let Li Zhong leave. He is too sensible.
You Yishi, the commander of the Wuwei Army, was An Xiuxiu and was responsible for commanding a total of 6,000 army cavalry.
The military envoys on the left and right sides of the Wuwei Army are Han Xun and He Wei respectively. These two people have proven their loyalty, merit and hard work in many years of battles. This time they were promoted to "Generals of the Forbidden Army", and their families are wealthy.
Can be expected.
Like the Tielin Army, some of the following officials in the Bingma Army were appointed by martial arts students, and some were promoted internally.
"After Tielin and Wuwei's Second Army of 60,000 people were reorganized, they took the time to practice and get familiar with it. The military history files should be merged and consolidated. These things must not be ignored. Who held what positions, what battles they fought, and where they were stationed.
, there is no record to speak of, this is the honor of an army." Shao Shude said.
Obviously, the armies that have not grabbed the designation are the targets of reorganization, and their military histories can only be merged with others and become subordinate parts. Those who have grabbed the designation must either have deep roots or have outstanding military exploits.
Qualified to annex others.
For example, the third unit leading the reorganization is the Tianxiong Army. This is a unit that does not have a long history, but has relatively great military achievements. It is also the direct descendant of Shao Shude. It is absolutely unlucky to merge with them.
It's impossible to turn over.
Chen Cheng, Zhao Guangfeng and others naturally have no objections, because this was originally their proposal. On the one hand, it can strengthen the control of the army, on the other hand, it can slowly digest Liang Jun's surrender, and at the same time, it can also bring freshness to the army.
Blood has great benefits.
These reorganized troops will also be part of the new imperial army in the future, so they must select the best from the best to ensure strong combat effectiveness.
"The new army's bedding, blankets, and military uniforms are slowly switching to woolen fabrics." Shao Shude added: "I take the lead in wearing sweaters. You can't just wait and watch. You must bring this trend up. Sheep raised by people in Heyang
, more and more every year, and more and more wool is produced every year. Since I promised them to use the woolen cloth to deduct taxes, I can't break my promise. There must be a place to use so much woolen cloth."
"As ordered." Several people responded together.
They also saw that King Xia was very determined in promoting wool, which involved the country's foundation.
The weather is getting colder year by year. Sui, Yin and other Guanbeizhou counties that used to produce some miscellaneous silk are no longer viable. In the residential gardens outside the cultivated land, the original mulberry forests have been changed to
Orchards, but how much money can be made from fruits? Perhaps the solution is to let those farmers who originally reeled, spun, and weaved silk to weave woolen cloth.
Of course, this is not a bad thing. As far as ordinary people are concerned, it is generally impossible for them to wear silk clothes, so it would be good to have linen clothes. If wool production is huge and becomes cheaper and cheaper, people will have one more choice.
"I'm going to Heyang in two days. You guys come with me to see it." Shao Shude said, "Heyang is the first priority for the next battle."
