The simple experiment passed quickly, and a longbow that had the potential to change the entire Great Song Dynasty army was born in Miaojiazhuang, and the carpentry workshop in Miaojiazhuang was hired by Zhao Xin to go all out to make longbows, the first batch was about 124, and the price was 200 Wen, but the rewards were very high, and anyone who proposed valuable improvements to the production of longbows could get 2 to 20 yuan.

This is probably the first time to provide rewards to craftsmen, even in the Northern Song Dynasty Weapons Division, some craftsmen who have made outstanding contributions are at most a little spiritual reward, and the real rewards are very few, Zhao Xin is unprecedented.

Even the lowest two crosses are equivalent to making 10 longbows, 20 crosses, and even 100 pieces, so many craftsmen began to invest in improvement.

The longbow will become the standard equipment of the Great Song Dynasty in the next few years, or even more than ten years, although Zhao Xin knows that the appearance of the musket will change the trajectory of the longbow, but the musket will develop from the level of usability to surpass the longbow, which will take time.

The length of this time varies, coupled with the economy and other aspects, the number of longbow's future equipment is very terrifying, maybe 500 to 10 million, so a little improvement will bring great benefits to the longbow, whether it is a penny reduction in price, or a quarter of an hour faster in production, when this small amount of money and time, multiplied by the entire huge number, will be extremely terrible.

Inside the carpentry workshop, the sound of woodware sounded again, when Zhao Xin and others were experimenting with the longbow, the carpentry masters were not idle, they began to analyze the production method of this longbow, I don't know if they want to do it, such a weapon is the first weapon they came into contact with, and they all studied it a few times.

Who knows, a few hours later, they received an order, the first batch was 124 units, which will be increased in the future as appropriate, and the final total will not be less than 500 units.

Among the first batch of 124 bodies, there are 4 of Sun Ji and others, and 20 of 20 families, and the rest are selected from the village.

As soon as the news of Zhao Xin's conscription came out, Wang Song, in particular, had handed over the money for the purchase of livestock to Miao Yuan, and asked him to go to the livestock market in the near future to buy hundreds of large animals.

This is to make the whole Miaojiazhuang boiling, a family out of one person, can compensate for a cow, this is such a good thing, a strong cow, can replace three or five strong laborers, so that this is calculated, not only not lost, but also a lot of money, of course they actively participated, not to mention, there is also a lot of money.

Zhao Xin will give a part of the Yulu, this Yulu is not very high, lower than the forbidden army's Yulu, but higher than the ordinary Xiangjun Yulu, Miaojiazhuang itself has a team to protect the village, the number is about fifty or sixty people, after selection in the middle, mainly because of the strength, plus a little experience in archery, there are almost 40 or so, and the rest are selected in the village.

Based on the power of 1.5 stones, the height is at least about 1.7 meters, which is not easy, a total of only 47 people to reach the goal, and 13 are still missing, in the middle of the team and the unsuccessful, the best of the best, especially select some under the age of 18.

The reason why they don't have the final growth is because of the lack of nutrition and all aspects, and giving them more nutrition and training should allow them to reach the standard after a year or two.

120 people finally got together, among them, 10 Jiading and Xue Yu They have not yet arrived, currently in Miaojiazhuang, a total of about 110 people, this part of the people will be handed over to Sun Ji and them for preliminary training, mainly queues, discipline, and preliminary training of bows and crossbows, this training, almost no bow, or less bow training.

The production speed of the long work is very fast, 12 craftsmen, with more than 20 assistants, some simple processing, such as the preparation of wood chips, some corner treatment, etc., can be handed over to them, which greatly speeds up the speed, an average of one and a half hours, 12 masters, 6 hours a day, can complete 48 bows, overtime, it took two days, to do 124 bows to do well.

Longbowmen, only with a longbow can they be regarded as real longbowmen, they completed the basic training in just 2 days, eating and drinking every day, especially the next day, Miao Yuan brought back 21 ploughing cattle and 12 fat pigs from the cattle and horse market, which made the entire Miaojiazhuang boil.

In the cattle and horse market in Baozhou, the number of cultivated cattle traded every day cannot fully meet the needs, and a large order of 200 heads will take at least a few months.

100 people, the next day, according to the standard of 3 taels per person per day, standard food, 37 pounds of meat a day, this amount is definitely a lot, a big fat pig, but only seven days, this life, I am afraid not less than the life of Miaoyuan.

You are the owner of the village, but Miaojiazhuang is not Miao Yuan, at most in terms of distribution and income, a little bit of benefit, a little bit of money, but he can't afford to eat meat every day, 3 taels of meat a day, maybe forty or fifty Wen, plus other expenses, a large family, but not to sit and eat empty.

On the evening of the third day, Xue Yu and the others, who were slowly hurrying behind, also arrived at Zhuangzi, Zhao Xin and Sun Ji, who had always been worried about him, among the three golden gun shifts, only he had a specialty of being a shooter, and his arrival would greatly ease Sun Ji's work, and Sun Ji could concentrate on other aspects instead of being an archery instructor.

When the canal was attacked, Xue Yu was one of the few wounded, and he was seriously injured, and he was cut directly in his arm by the iron arrow of the falling moon bow, and he almost lost his life at that time.

Next, in order to send Sun Ji to Baozhou as soon as possible, he took the initiative to stay, together with the remaining family members and maid servants, this part of the self-protection ability is the worst, if the Wang family really retaliates, they are likely not to survive, even if Xue Yu sees the opportunity early, it is very likely to be stayed.

Perhaps the main target of the Wang family is Zhao Xin, or perhaps, the Wang family was not prepared, and they successfully returned, which also means that their strength has increased, and the 124 members of the longbow team have successfully arrived.

After a few days of traveling, Xue Yu was a little tired, he was the only master, and he had to be vigilant for a long time, in case he was attacked, he had to make a choice, whether to leave or stay.

Fortunately, there was no turmoil on the road, they came back successfully, after a few days of rest, his arm was much better, the wound had basically healed, and there were not too many problems except that he couldn't use a lot of force, and even pulled some not-so-strong bows no problem.

After a night's rest, Xue Yu was completely relaxed, and the next day he was in good spirits, knowing such a magical bow, and he also came to the scene on the morning of the second day of their arrival, that is, during the first collective bow training of the longbowmen.

The power of the longbow is known from Sun Ji, he will not doubt it, he has the best relationship with Sun Ji, and he knows very well what kind of person Sun Ji is, it is impossible for him to lie, even Renzong.

Is it really so magical to have a bow that is so simple, cheap, but has excellent performance, and may even replace all the armies of the Northern Song Dynasty in the future?

After two days of training, the longbow team has begun to see the scale, not only is it more neat, even if you pick up the bow, it is decent, these freshly baked, simple maintenance bows, in the hands of big people, it feels full, and after adjustment, the arrows are not as ugly as the original, after simple refining, at least there are no irregularities and burrs.

Xue Yu didn't join in, half leaning against the tree, watching the process of their training, the queue and some simple movements to practice together, there was nothing to see, he didn't concentrate, and even chatted with Yan Hua and the others next to him, asking Yan Hua and the others from the details how they felt about this longbow.

In a short period of time, Yan Hua's perception of the longbow took a hundred and eighty-degree turn, and he was full of praise, his strength was worse than that of Sun Ji and Xue Yu, and the accuracy was not enough, but the longbow became his best choice, even if it was under the premise of the same accuracy, it increased his durability.

Feeling Yan Hua's love for the longbow, Xue Yu noticed that the bow in Yan Hua's hand was slightly different from the one in the longbowman's hand, and took the initiative to ask out of understanding.
