Chapter 49: : Craftsman Workshop
After setting up the current affairs, Lu Bu took Dian Wei and went around the city from time to time, especially in the artisan workshop in the north of the city.
There is also a factory in the north of the city that is producing paper. Although paper is available in this era, it is not popular. The people who can use it are basically high-ranking officials and ordinary people. It is difficult to see paper.
The paper mill was built when Jinyang planned to build. With advanced knowledge and concepts, Jinyang has mastered the technology of papermaking, and it is only waiting to be put into large-scale production.
In Lu Bu's plan, the paper mill is a major source of the state's economy. The price of paper is not cheap, and it is operated properly. That is not a source of money.
If people in the world knew Lu Bu's thoughts, they would definitely be very contemptuous. Such precious things as paper are things that benefit the scholars of the world. How can they be measured by money.
However, Lu Bu is practical. Without money, it means that the state and animal husbandry will be in financial crisis.
Another important thing is to go to Chang'an. On that day, the suspected Xiu'er woman in the city of Luoyang might follow Wang Yun to Chang'an, and Jia Xu from Dong Zhuo’s army needs him to go there in person. Although it is dangerous, As long as it is properly arranged, there will not be too much danger. This idea has been brewing in his heart for a long time. If there is no chaos in the family, he has already set off for Chang'an.
The remaining small families in Jinyang City are very cooperative and happily handed over the fields. Some left Jinyang City lonely. They could not feel the space for development in Jinyang, and their talents were also lost invisibly.
Li Su has been very busy recently, he was so busy, he was scared in his heart, he knew what he was doing.
However, the people looked at his fanatical eyes and the respect from his heart, which made him firm up his determination to go on. The lord was not afraid, what would he be afraid of? During this period, the number of guards around him increased to 50, all of them. Lu Bu's guards exerted great pressure on the family, and Lu Bu was afraid that someone would deliberately retaliate.
A conscription order made the Bingzhou Army camp suddenly become lively. The benefits of being a soldier are obvious. There is no taxation, but it is a treatment that nobles can enjoy. Moreover, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Army are rich in salary. If you perform well, you can be a member of the army. Xiaoguan, it's even better.
The army is no longer a way out for the poor.
In contrast, the recruitment of other princes was basically compulsory. Apart from no way to survive, few people were willing to join the army. However, in Jinyang, the opposite was true.
According to Lu Bu’s vision, the state army recruited 30,000 soldiers. Except for those that were screened out, there would be about 20,000 left. Then, let Gao Shun and Wei Xu conduct training and follow Lu Bu for so long. They know how to train soldiers. If you have a habit that you can't get rid of, start with these recruits and let the Union State Army become an army that is forbidden and ready to fight at any time.
I believe that under the discipline of iron, once this army comes out, it will shock the world.
Now that he has money in his wallet, Lu Bu also has the idea of forming a special force. He was a special force in his previous life and understands that such a team can determine the outcome of a war to a certain extent.
However, the formation of special forces is not a one-day effort. It is necessary to cultivate the soldiers' versatility in order to adapt to the complex and changeable battlefield.
An ordinary blacksmith's shop in the south of the city. Old man Cheng just finished building a handful of farm tools. He drank tea leisurely. There are more people in Jinyang and they need more farm tools. Although they don’t make much money, He is satisfied.
The old man Cheng was originally named Cheng Gang. Forging steel is a blacksmith’s dream. On that day, Dong Zhuo moved a large number of people to Chang'an, and he was among them.
The family left Luoyang and came to Jinyang. Although it was a strange place, the Zhou Mufu quickly found him a sense of belonging.
In Luoyang City, he was a blacksmith in the workshop of Luoyang City. The weapons he was responsible for were also the secrets of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty did a good job of keeping secrets of some weapons, such as the bed crossbow, which was a weapon for defending the city. , The range is amazing.
The craftsman’s status is low, and his treatment in Luoyang is not much better than it is now. If he can settle down in Bingzhou, he can't forget who gave him everything, a handful of old bones, and he can enjoy his old age in Bingzhou. It looks good.
"Old man Cheng can be in the shop?" Lu Bu strolled in, and Dian Wei glanced at the people in the house. Standing outside the door, watching the passing pedestrians vigilantly, the murderous expression on his body caused the passing people to stay away.
"This lord, what can I do with my father?" Cheng Tie's tone trembled.
"Don't be afraid, take me to see your grandfather." Lu Bu smiled and said, "We are not bad people." Although the people in the city all know that there is a state shepherd who is kind to them, there are only a handful of people who have actually met Lu Bu.
"In...please inside." Although Lu Bu's tone was calm, the looming murderous aura revealed on his body, showing that he was not an ordinary person, plus Dian Wei was able to brazenly wear a sword in the city, he was obviously a government official. Middle man, Cheng Tie can only suppress the fear in his heart.
"Old man Cheng has a good life. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com" Lu Bu took a look inside the house. Compared to the cold weather outside, the house looked much warmer after the farming tools had just been built.
"Big...sir." Old man Cheng knelt to the ground immediately, "Caomin Cheng Gang pays homage to the lord."
Lv Bu helped the old man Cheng up and said with a smile: "Old man, it's still a habit to live in the city."
"Xi... Habits." Old man Cheng glared at Cheng Tie, who was standing still and bewildered: "Hurry up and see the adults. If it weren't for adults, our family wouldn't have today."
"Okay, no more, I came here today to beg the old man for something." Lu Bu waved his hand.
"If you have anything to do, please give orders." Old man Cheng said from the bottom of his heart.
"Let's go inside and talk." Lu Bu pointed to the back room.
"Okay, okay, sir please." Old man Cheng respectfully said.
"Smelly boy, please go and pour tea, this is Master Zhou Mu." Old man Cheng lowered his voice to Cheng Tiedao.
"Master State Shepherd?" Cheng Tie felt that his brain was not enough. It turned out that this is the Bingzhou Shepherd who is dedicated to the people, and the fear in his heart instantly turned into kindness.
"Old man, I'm going to trouble you this time. Although the artisan workshop in the north of the city is under construction, it can also build weapons. The conditions may be a bit worse, but you can rest assured that it will definitely get better and better." , Old man Cheng happily agreed to Lu Bu's request.
Old man Cheng was originally a blacksmith. He was best at building weapons. He had even participated in high-end goods such as ballistas, the weapon of defense for the city. With many years of experience, he is definitely the best candidate for the craftsmanship.
The bed crossbow is definitely the most high-end defense weapon in the Han Dynasty. It is equipped in important levels such as Hulao Pass. However, the long-term peace has left these weapons in dust, and it has been difficult for the princes to use them when attacking.
