Chapter 432: A Sudden Turn in the Situation 2
(Ask for subscription, ask for subscription, ask for subscription...... Then, thank you for the reward of "autumn fruit"! )
Wei Wuji rushed to the barracks, it was already late at night, and the barracks was so quiet that people almost forgot that this was still the front line of the border pass where big waves were about to rise.
Originally, Wei Wuji was going to discuss matters overnight, but seeing this situation, he didn't want to disturb the peace of the army, and only the soldiers on duty knew that Wei Wuji was back.
After entering the barracks, Wei Wuji went to the depths of the barracks, the camp of more than 4,000 people, the place where he stood was definitely not small, not to mention that Wei Wuji also deliberately detoured, so as not to disturb the soldiers' dreams.
Not only that, Wei Wuji also ordered these people in the guards to be on the spot, and they would camp and rest, and only Zheng Dali was the only one who followed Wei Wuji.
As far as it is now, Zheng Dali has really become an indispensable part of Wei Wuji, and he is inseparable at all times.
Originally, Wei Wuji was also going to sleep, but he heard the faint sound of gold and iron clashing in the distance, which made him suddenly change the direction of his actions.
He knew it was a voice from the Ordnance Department, and if it was expected, the craftsmen were still working, so Wei Wuji decided to go over and take a look.
The last time he gave benefits to the whole army, he forgot about these people, which made Wei Wuji a little embarrassed, after all, they were also forced to come by him when they left their hometowns.
Sure enough, when Wei Wuji got closer, he found that the stove was still not extinguished at this time, and a staff member was busy.
"It's so late, and you still haven't rested?" Wei Wuji asked.
At this time, he was in charge of one of the two craftsmen who had been brought by Wei Wuji, and he was directing his disciples and helpers to keep busy.
After hearing someone talking outside, he was the first to react, looking at Wei Wuji's eyes full of excitement.
In the old man's opinion, this is because the work really values them, and he has to visit them so late.
"Meet Childe!" Yu Qian knelt down and said, it is indeed quite difficult to see a big gift at a large age.
Wei Wuji was not the cold-blooded person, and he didn't care about the stains on the old craftsman's body, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help the old craftsman up.
At this time, the disciples and helpers under Yu Qian, who were still busy, also saw Wei Wuji's arrival, and they suddenly looked a little excited.
The "supreme leader" inspected late at night, what a precious thing, so these 20 or so people immediately knelt down and said "meet the son".
At this time, Wei Wuji had to hold some of it, although he had to be friendly, but he also had to be measured.
Standing in place, Wei Wuji glanced at the people kneeling on the ground, and at this time, Zheng Dali and Yu Qian, one left and one right, stood beside him.
"It's so late, you are still fighting, but this son is ashamed!" Wei Wuji said in surprise.
But when I heard these words in the hearts of the craftsmen below, it was as if I had smeared honey from the bottom of my heart, after all, what could be compared, and my conscientious work was affirmed by the above.
Yu Qian, who was standing beside Wei Wuji, took two steps back and bowed at this time: "Gongzi is falsely praised, now that the Hu people and wolves are ambitious to enter the customs, we don't have the ability to stabilize the country and secure the country, so we can only build more weapons for the army, and we have done our best!" ”
The words are very good, and Wei Wuji will not think that these people are talking about the scene, the people of this era have a high degree of identification with their own country.
Even the Chen land, which had been occupied by the Wei State for more than a year, still resisted from time to time at this time, although it certainly could not escape the stirring of the Qin people, but it could also be seen that the hearts of the people were pure at this time.
"Although the Hu people are fierce, but with all of you sincerely united, my Great Wei soldiers are all united, and they are just clowns jumping off the beam, so there is nothing to be afraid of!" Wei Wuji said forcefully.
His words undoubtedly strengthened everyone's confidence in their hearts, after all, Wei Wuji's status was too high, and it was really not easy to encourage them personally.
Seeing that everyone was still kneeling on the ground, Wei Wuji said, "Okay, everyone hurry up, this son still has something to discuss with Yu Lao!" ”
"Thank you, Childe!" In this way, these young people, covered in stains, slowly got up from the ground.
And Wei Wuji's "Yu Lao" made Yu Qian ten years younger in an instant, and his excited eyes were like a little young.
At this time, although there was no serious class discrimination, the craftsmen were still the kind of business that could not be put on the table.
But Wei Wuji's voice made Yu Qian, who had lived for more than 50 years, even have a feeling of meeting a soulmate...... Let's take a look, this son attaches great importance to iron smelting and craftsmen, this can not be his bosom friend.
After walking aside with Wei Wuji, Yu Qian calmed down his novelty, after all, this was not the time to complain to each other, and besides, this was just his unilateral thinking.
"Old Yu, the casting speed is slow now, although iron ore is a limiting factor, but you do have less manpower here!" Wei Wuji said slowly.
But in fact, Yu Qian doesn't agree with this very much, and now there are a group of people who are already resting here, there are already fifty people, that is, double the iron ore every day, which can also be digested.
And the reason why they are still working overtime at night is just that there is more iron ore bought back today, and of course they have to process it and smelt it well.
"Childe, there are enough people now, but there are too few sources of iron ore...... And now that there are many refugees, iron ore is even rarer! Yu Qian voiced his concerns.
Of course, Wei Wuji was aware of this situation, and he was looking to the future, so he felt that there were not enough manpower now.
"You don't have to worry about this, the iron ore will continue to flow in the future, and this son is just worried, you don't have so many manpower!" Wei Wuji said indifferently.
It was now the middle of September, and the weather had begun to get cold, and the Huns would continue their attacks until November at most, when the whole northern land would be covered with snow and ice, and they would inevitably retreat.
However, there is a problem here, to be honest, choosing this time to attack, the time is indeed a bit insufficient.
If the attack could have been launched a month in advance, or two months in advance, the Huns would have had more time to attack.
And when the ice and snow were covered, it was when he came into contact with the Iron Forest Department, and he took out food and exchanged them for stones, presumably the people of the Iron Forest Department were very willing.
After all, the reason why the Hu people want to break through the Great Wall is nothing more than to eat and drink these things.
Therefore, Wei Wuji didn't think that iron ore was a problem, so he asked Yu Qian to hurry up and recruit another batch of people back.
"Elder Yu only needs to recruit apprentices again, and the two of you will expand the number of your subordinates to a hundred, I'm afraid it will be enough!" Wei Wuji roughly estimated.
"Subordinates obey!" Yu Qian naturally wouldn't object, anyway, he was also looking forward to the expansion of his manpower.
As for the cost of recruiting personnel, you only need to go to the quartermaster department and ask Mr. Zhou to open a bill.
"Everyone has worked hard tonight, let's all go and rest, the body is the capital of victory......" Saying this, Wei Wuji continued: "Tell them that each of them will go to the quartermaster office tomorrow to receive a hundred dollars!" ”
Wei Wuji began to give favors, and this little money was completely ignored by him.
In fact, all the money should belong to all the soldiers, and according to what he said at the beginning, he wanted to distribute all the gains to the soldiers, and now it is obviously a violation of the agreement.
"Then the subordinates will thank the son for the reward for his subordinates!" Yu Qian bowed again, presumably this news would make them happy again when the news came back to the apprentices.
