Chapter 339 Women's Training Camp and Glassmaking

Yang Zhengshan sent Song Dashan away, and then sent someone to invite Wang Yunqiao.

"Disciple pays homage to Master!" Wang Yunqiao came to the Yamen. He was very surprised. When he saw Yang Zhengshan, he was not at all restrained and saluted generously with clasped fists.

Yang Zhengshan looked at her while stroking his beard and nodded slightly, "Not bad!"

The little girl looks a lot more mature after getting married. She wears her hair in a woman's bun, and is a little less youthful and a little more heroic.

Wang Yunqiao smiled gently and stepped forward to help Yang Zhengshan pour tea, "Master, why are you here with me?"

"Well, we are preparing to set up a women's training camp for the teacher. Have you led this women's training camp!" Yang Zhengshan took a sip of tea.

"Women's training camp! Shall I lead it? Can I?" Wang Yunqiao was a little surprised, but also a little pleasantly surprised.

"What's not allowed?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

Wang Yunqiao thought for a moment, "Will my father-in-law have any objections?"

"Do you think he dares?" Yang Zhengshan smiled.

If it were other people, it would be hard for Yang Zhengshan to interfere. After all, it involves other people's family affairs.

But Song Dashan is different. Song Dashan is not only his subordinate, but also his in-laws.

And with Song Dashan's character, he wouldn't have any dissatisfaction. At most, he would just mutter a few words to himself.

In fact, Yang Zhengshan cares more about the opinions of Song Dashan's daughter-in-law, Li, because Li has always been in charge of the Song family. However, Li is a smart person, and Yang Zhengshan believes that she will support Wang Yunqiao.

"You can go back and discuss it with your mother-in-law, as long as your mother-in-law has no objection!"

"The women's training camp is set up separately. When the time comes, you will choose some people from the maids at home to assist you. Well, as a teacher, you will also have Miss Yulu and Miss Hongyun to help you."

Yang Zhengshan briefly expressed some of his thoughts.

Yulu is about to get married to Wu Zhan, but Yulu and Wu Zhan don't have so many scruples. Wu Zhan is a martial artist, and his ideas will be more open. He will definitely not mind Yulu joining the women's training camp.

As for Hongyun, Hongyun doesn't understand military matters, but she can handle some chores. As Yu Qingyi's personal maids, Qingxia and Hongyun are both rare talents.

As for the Yang family's maids, the Yang family has rules that everyone must practice martial arts, and almost all the maids of the Yang family are martial artists.

With Wang Yunqiao as the main one, Yulu and Hongyun as the supplements, and a dozen maids, it would be no problem to form a women's army.

Wang Yunqiao hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, women will get married eventually, this women's training camp!"

She was worried about what she would do if she got married after entering the women's training camp.

Getting married and having children will restrict women's public appearance.

Yang Zhengshan waved his hand, "The women's training camp will not prohibit marriage. I have thought about it. I will enter the camp for training when I am thirteen or fourteen years old, and get married when I am sixteen. After getting married, if you are willing to stay in the camp, you will continue to stay in the camp. If you are not unwilling, you will stay in the camp." , then go home and raise your children!”

This must not be forced, otherwise it will delay people's lives.

He didn't mean to drag a group of women to the battlefield, he just wanted to give the women a chance to get ahead.

As long as they receive training, even if these women can only be ordinary women in the future, they still have the foundation of martial arts, and they may also become warriors.

Moreover, after training, their physical fitness is enhanced, which is also beneficial to their fertility.

It can be said that this is a matter of no harm.

"Let's do this. I will issue an order. From now on, women in Tenglong Guard must be sixteen years old before they can get married!" Yang Zhengshan thought about it and said.

Getting married at the age of thirteen or fourteen and giving birth at the age of fifteen or sixteen is such a disaster.

Yang Zhengshan can't control other places, but Yang Zhengshan can still make the decision in Tenglongwei.

"Disciple understands, I will try my best to handle this matter!" Wang Yunqiao respectfully agreed to the task.

"No rush, you should go back and discuss it with your mother-in-law first!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Wang Yunqiao responded.

As Yang Zhengshan expected, the Song Li family did not stop Wang Yunqiao at all. Instead, they supported Wang Yunqiao very much. They personally took Wang Yunqiao to the Yang family to convey their opinions to Yu Qingyi, and also wanted their youngest daughter to Join a women's camp.

Song Li is very smart. She has always been Song Dashan's backbone. When Song Dashan followed Yang Zhengshan from Yinghe Fort to Anyuan City, it was she who made the decision for Song Dashan.

As for letting her youngest daughter join the women's training camp, it is also a reflection of her intelligence.

She doesn't want her little daughter to become a warrior or achieve any great achievements. She just wants her little daughter to follow Wang Yunqiao and get the glory of the Yang family.

Look at the women of the Yang family, from Yu Qingyi to an ordinary little maid, every one of them is healthy and full of energy. More importantly, the women of the Yang family are very fertile.

These are naturally the result of the spiritual spring water. She didn't know the existence of the spiritual spring water, so she felt that the Yang family could support people, so she wanted her little daughter to benefit from the Yang family's glory.

Her idea is correct. Yang Zhengshan will definitely add spiritual spring water to the women's training camp. I dare not say anything else. After entering the women's training camp and maintaining a healthy body, there will be absolutely no problem.

In this way, the women's training camp began to be formed.

Now a training ground is built outside the city, and then Wang Yunqiao takes Hongyun and Yulu to select people from various households and villages.

At the same time, Yang Zhengshan also asked the Wei Si Yamen to issue regulations that women could not get married until they were sixteen years old.

This move caused a lot of discussion among the military households. Many people felt that this regulation and the women's training camp were not good, but Yang Zhengshan now had a very high prestige in Tenglongwei. Even if someone had opinions in their hearts, they did not dare to stand up and oppose it.

The first batch of girls who joined the women's training camp only had 200 people. The number was not large, and the operation was relatively simple. Wang Yunqiao quickly sorted it out.

It was not easy for Yang Zhengshan to go to the women's training camp. Men were not allowed to enter the women's training camp, and even Yang Zhengshan was no exception.

However, this did not affect Yang Zhengshan's provision of spiritual spring water for the women's training camp. After all, the meals and medicinal materials of the women's training camp were provided by the Weisi Yamen. Yang Zhengshan could not directly provide spiritual spring water, so he provided some medicinal materials produced by the space.

After the matter of the women's training camp was determined, Yang Zhengshan focused on another thing, that is, firing glass.

It was not that Yang Zhengshan had never thought about firing glass before, but he always felt that this matter was a bit difficult to handle, but now he really wanted to experiment.

The main reason was that he now had enough manpower under his command, and he needed glass to make telescopes.

With the manpower and the demand, Yang Zhengshan naturally kept the glass-making thing in mind.

Yang Zhengshan asked Luo Zhen to find a dozen goldsmith apprentices to conduct glass-making experiments.

Why did he find goldsmith apprentices?

The reason is simple. Goldsmiths and silversmiths make gold and silver jewelry, which involves gold and silver smelting, which is similar to glass-making.

There is no need to use those goldsmiths and silversmiths. Only apprentices are enough. After all, everyone has made this thing, and they all try from scratch.

In fact, it is not difficult to make glass. You can make glass by setting up a furnace and throwing a handful of sand into it.

But it is very difficult to make glass with high transparency and the desired shape.

Yang Zhengshan only remembered that magnesium oxide can increase the transparency of glass, but where does magnesium oxide come from?

So Yang Zhengshan only stayed in the glass workshop for three days, letting these apprentices know what glass is and how to make glass, and then gave all his shallow understanding of glass-making to the apprentices, and then left it alone.

The rest of the things needed to be figured out by the apprentices themselves, and they had to experiment with all the materials they could find. This was a very long and boring process, and Yang Zhengshan could not help, so he could only let the apprentices study it themselves.

These apprentices were still confused at first, and they did not understand the experimental methods at all. However, after Yang Zhengshan's instructions several times, they learned to conduct experiments by themselves, and Yang Zhengshan completely let go.

...

Busy time always passes quickly. After the spring plowing, the Weisi Yamen led the entire Tenglongwei to operate, repair roads, build schools, start salt fields, train military camps, etc. Everything was going on in an orderly manner.

In such a lively and busy atmosphere, time soon came to June.

In June, the route between Tenglongwei and Jiangnan had been determined, and a new batch of naval forces were also put into actual combat training, which meant that Tenglongwei could open a route with the Li Sheng Dynasty.

Early in the morning of the third day of June, Yang Zhengshan rushed to the dock to send Yu Tonghai and Sun Cheng out to the sea to the Li Sheng Dynasty.

This time he did not go in person, because it was the busiest time for Tenglongwei, and he really could not spare the time.

The leader of this voyage was Sun Cheng, who was very familiar with the Lisheng Dynasty and the Desheng Dynasty. He used to run ships for the Zhang family in Liaoan, and the main routes were the Lisheng Dynasty and the Desheng Dynasty.

With him, there was no problem in trading with these two dynasties.

Moreover, the Lisheng Dynasty and the Desheng Dynasty were not far from Liaodong. It was only more than a thousand miles from the Tenglongwei Wharf to the Lisheng Dynasty. If the speed was fast, it would take two days to go back and forth.

The Desheng Dynasty was a little farther, and it would take about two thousand miles to sail, which was about the same as Jiangnan.

"Be careful on the road. If you encounter any trouble, it is important to save your life. It doesn't matter if the goods are lost!"

At the dock, Yang Zhengshan said to Sun Cheng.

Sun Cheng said with gratitude: "Don't worry, sir. I have many friends in the Li Sheng Dynasty, and nothing will go wrong!"

"Yes!"

Yang Zhengshan nodded, and said to Yu Tonghai: "If you encounter someone who is blind, don't care who it is, just kill him directly. I will bear the consequences for you!"

This time they went to the Li Sheng Dynasty, which was a vassal state of Darong. The kings of the Li Sheng Dynasty were all canonized by the emperor.

If they encountered pirates, there would be nothing to say, just fight directly, but if they encountered the navy of the Li Sheng Dynasty, Yang Zhengshan was afraid that Yu Tonghai would be timid and dare not act.

"I understand!" Yu Tonghai understood what Yang Zhengshan meant, but this matter depends on the actual situation, so he did not make any guarantees.

"Well, that's it, you can set off!"

Yang Zhengshan watched them board the ship and watched the warships set sail. Until the warships disappeared in the vast sea, Yang Zhengshan returned to the Acropolis.

It was just a few days of practice, so Yang Zhengshan was not too worried. However, it took Yu Tonghai and Sun Cheng more than half a month to come back from the sea, which made Yang Zhengshan wonder if they had encountered any big trouble.

If it was a small trouble, it would not have taken so long. Even if they encountered the navy of the Li Sheng Dynasty, the navy of the Tenglong Vanguard would not be completely wiped out unless they encountered strong winds and waves.

But Yang Zhengshan had sensed that there should not be any strong winds and waves during this period.

In fact, Yu Tonghai and Sun Cheng did encounter troubles, but these troubles were not what Yang Zhengshan thought, but came from the changes in the situation of the Li Sheng Dynasty.
