Chen Mu felt like a tribute.

It didn't take long for Zhang Han to feel tired, so he waved him down, but it was getting late, so let him stay in the governor's yamen for the night.

Before dawn on the second day, the officials in the yamen called to open the city gate with a waist card, and then returned to the Xiangshan Thousand Households.

For a period of time, Chen Mu didn't have to expect to see Governor Zhang Han again. There was no governor in Guangdong, whether it was Zhang Han or Wu Guifang, or Tan Lun in the past, their official positions were the governors of Liangguang, supervising the military and political affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the real governor's yamen was also set up in Zhaoqing from the previous year to supervise the two Guangzhous.

It's just that last year, Li Yayuan was first discussed, and this year there was Zeng Yiyi, and Wu Guifang and Zhang Han were only on the board of directors in Guangzhou Mansion.

Now that the military affairs in Guangxi are over, Zhang Han wants to go to Zhaoqing to deal with the beginning and the end.

The governor is leaving, but Chen Mu saw that there were fewer and fewer things in the warehouses of the guards piled up into a hill, and the flag army cart pushed one by one towards Guangcheng, not to mention how uncomfortable it was!

To the beak of the cooked duck, fucking flew away!

Tens of thousands of catties of salt, thousands of catties of copper and iron, as well as mountains of silk and utensils, went to the governor's yamen, and they were all in the soup.

In exchange for a piece of paper from the governor's yamen, and the shipyard set up by Xiangshan Qianhu to repair the warship, Chen Mu didn't know whether he made or lost it.

The shipyard repaired it, Chen Qianhu didn't plan to just repair the ship, but also build the ship!

A few days later, more than a dozen old men who were mourning came with their families to comfort Chen Qianhu's heart.

A carpenter who is proficient in casting, a sailmaker who knows how to make hard sails, a shipwright who repairs and builds ships, a boatman, and of course a blacksmith who is proficient in casting.

"Thousands of households, Lao Er has registered them in the register, seventeen craftsmen, thirty-three apprentices, and forty-six of their family members, a total of eighty-six people's military registrations have been recorded, and they will be the military craftsmen of the Thousand Households in the future."

"Where are the thousand households going to let them live?"

Guan Yuangu saluted and said, the boss of the Guan family was holding a craftsman's note on the side, this Xie Ming's school was enlightened, and the boss and second of the Guan family also learned a little. They work for a long time, mainly when Xie Ming teaches mathematics, and the craftsmen have a bit of arithmetic foundation, and it is easy to learn.

The eldest Zun'er followed the old man Guan, and the second Zun class is now in charge of leading craftsmen in the ironshop.

"Let's live in a thousand households first, and then pick a place after a while, and manage the affairs of the craftsman, there will be a laborer, and there is another matter that needs to be related to the craftsman's heart."

Chen Mu said and led Guan Yuangu and Guan Zunban into the house of a thousand households, asked the entourage to go to the house to take out the drawings on the bookcase, and sat in the backyard before explaining: "The thieves in Huangliang are undecided, so don't build a house for the craftsman first, wait until the thieves are pacified, and then find a suitable location for the shipyard, and then the craftsman will live next to it." ”

Guan Yuangu nodded in response, and then said to Chen Mu: "Qianhu, now there are seventy-six new bird guns in the library, thirty-three flint guns, three handguns you specially advised, and one hundred and ten small flag arrows. ”

"The lead pellets of the past have been remelted, and there are still more lead in the new combination, but there is not enough gunpowder."

A large amount of gunpowder was used for hundreds of small flag arrows, which almost used up the nitrate that Chen Mu brought from Qingyuan. Originally, the guard purchased willow charcoal and prepared to supplement the military with a large amount of gunpowder made of nitrate yellow from the inspection, but at this time and at that time.

Guan Yuangu said: "The remaining gunpowder is at most enough for the flag army to practice for more than a month." ”

Chen Mu nodded in response, he couldn't help it, Shao Tingda hadn't come back in Yuegang yet, and the Wei Institute had just sent a letter to him to sell all the houses in Yuegang City, and he wouldn't be able to come back for a while, and the money from the land sale couldn't be returned to his hand, so he could only say: "Let's see how much the state government can allocate this time." ”

Fortunately, a large number of pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks were purchased in advance, and the state government did not ask for the grain under the card, as long as there was no worry about eating, the health center would not be too nervous.

He didn't have much money left.

"These things, Guan Jiang and Zunban will take a look together."

Not long after, the entourage brought the wooden box, and Chen Mu took out a few drawings made of charcoal and explained to the craftsman's father and son: "Look at this first, this is a forging hammer." Xiangshan relies on the river, and there are rivers in it, and the water power is abundant, Chen wants to make something with water power, and the craftsmen can use it to make weapons. ”

"The water flow is huge and stable, do three or four people to enclose the disc as the cover, the inside is a large wooden leaf leaf, even the long rod turntable above, there are gears one horizontal and one vertical, this is a tooth ......"

Guan Yuangu listened patiently, Guan Zunban's eyes lit up when he looked at the drawings, and nodded with some urging and daring: "Qianhu, the villain knows the gears, but this gap is slightly larger, even the gears of the turntable move, let the gears placed vertically on it move, and you can transfer the water power to the side, which is very exquisite!" ”

"You know? I know it's just right, just look at the two of you, and ask me if you don't understand. Chen Mu was not ashamed to be interrupted, smiled and clapped his hands for them to sit down and watch, and said: "This picture is a bit sloppy, only the general meaning is drawn, and there are some tricks in it that I can't figure out, you can figure it out." ”

Coming to this era for nearly two years, Chen Mu's biggest feeling is that it is not possible for laymen to guide insiders.

In military affairs, he was able to use the more simplified training methods of modern lower-level stragglers to train the flag army, and subtly increased the advantages of ideological construction and organizational improvement, which did take some advantage for him in small-scale conflicts.

But in the big battles, it was also proved that his method was not a panacea, for the enemy and our armies in this era all over the mountains and fields to fight closely, more important is the command of the large army formation, the dense formation, the rewards and punishments of grace and power, and sufficient logistics support to make the army serve the death.

At least in this era, the excellent old military law has taken the first step towards modernizing the army, and Qi Jiguang's art of war, which can only take one step with a restricted identity, is the right direction.

It is not that Chen Mu's experience in the new era is borrowed from Qi Jiguang, but that Qi Jiguang's art of war is used to learn from his knowledge and experience, and on the basis of Qi Jiguang's half-step ahead of the times, he will take another half step.

This is true in the military, and even more so in the technology of complete laymen, Chen Mu thinks that the role he can play is to open the locked door in front of the craftsmen, but push it open - it also depends on their complete basic knowledge in their own jobs.

Chen Mu is like a baby without strength, not enough to push the wheels of the times forward.

But he holds the key to open the door of the times, and with just a slight turn, the light shines in the world!

The drawings placed in front of the two of them are rows of Seiko small hammer machines driven by water power and a single water driven big hammer machine for rough machining, a large sawing round wood machine for water power and a small fine rough processing giant wood machine, and the steam engine that Chen Mu is most looking forward to.

The first few of them can be used as soon as possible, but the steam engine, even if the drawings are made, is just a small boiler without any practical effect, not to mention that he has no idea what can be replaced by the materials in this era.

Answering a few questions from Guan's father and son, after seeing that the two of them roughly understood, they happily discussed, and even asked him if he could modify the drawings.

Leave things to someone else to do, and he has his own things to do.

Cavalry and military books, in addition to military books, you also have to read the history of the scriptures and do eight shares at night.

He was born to be a military household, but what he wanted to do was not just a commander or a commander, which was not enough.

Far from it!
