Chapter 339: Rockets for Labor
When the main general Ashu, the deputy general Liu Quan, and the leaders of the Tatar army above the rank of deputy general were discussing how to deal with this small fortress, there was also a group of people who were studying the possible tactics of the Tatar army on the island of Liuqiu, thousands of miles away.

On the fortress at the mouth of the Eight Rivers, almost all the personnel above the rank of captain were gathered in the council hall, except for those who were seeking development outside.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, knew the trend of history in advance, so he arranged detailed work in the two cities of Xiangfan and several strategic points early.
Such people often use the opening of shops as a cover to sell products that are not popular in the local area.
They worked in groups of more than a dozen to send the so-called various pieces of information back to Liuqiu Island at any time.
At present, it seems that the tripartite forces on both sides of the Taiwan Strait on the mainland and Liuqiu Island have achieved almost the same results in intelligence work.
The Liuqiu Guards were above the ranks, and they expressed their opinions on the military map of the Xiangfan and Xiangfan areas hanging on the wall------ but one thing they were sure of was that this kind of fortress was obviously not a new commodity on the mainland, but it was indeed thanks to the effect of Liuqiu cement that they were able to build so much.
The Great Song City Bosi adopted a monopoly management method in Liuqiu cement, but it is non-negotiable that they will still play a military role.
The adhesive effect of cement and the purchase of iron-reinforced concrete made the construction of the fort easy and fast.
The improvement of construction technology prompted them to build in large quantities.
In terms of construction purposes, the Lu Group now attaches great importance to the production of dry land on the Jianghan Plain, and the construction of more forts will help to fully develop the so-called cotton, peanuts, sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, whether they are used as food or cash crops, the output of the previous seasons has made the Lu Group make a lot of money.
Therefore, the so-called dry fields are no less important than paddy fields.
Build a fortress. Helps with defense and management.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Tatar army, it is inexplicable that there are so many fortresses in the place where they are advancing.
Captain Huang Zu said during the discussion: "If I were a Tatar army, I could throw thunderbolts or explosives/medicine packs directly, and I would not need rockets at all, just a few hundred rounds." Win without a fight! ”
After Mei Lezhi and Mu Mu, who were in charge of the ammunition processing, finished discussing in a whisper, Mei Lezhi said: "
There are two points that the Tatars could not do.
First, due to the purity of their black fire/medicine, it is almost only seven to eighty percent of the explosive power of the Great Song Dynasty's black fire/medicine, and the secrecy work of the Great Song Ordnance Institute has been very good this time, so their so-called thunderbolts and explosives/medicine packets are heavier than those of the Great Song Dynasty.
Second, when the Lu group was building the fortress. Most of them also take into account the topography, which are all conducive to defense, and even if they are unfavorable, they will add obstacles such as moats, so in terms of distance, the Tatars are at a disadvantage. ”
Mu Mu added: "So, their stone cannons either have to be big or they have to be close. It's too big,
not conducive to transportation; It's too close. It was completely under the blow of the Great Song Stone Cannon, and it was too late to erect it! ”
At this time, the people in the chamber suddenly thought about how important this kind of rocket must be that only in Liuqiu Island.
For a while, their hearts were full of pride, and they must regard rockets as a unique weapon here!
Since then, the world has been invincible.
But. What none of them expected was that at this time, the owner of Zhang Guoan Island made a plan to exchange rockets for labor------
Including Captain Huang Zu, everyone was stunned. What is this doing?!
They had never doubted the correctness of Zhang Guoan's approach, but this time they really didn't understand it.
Labor is not as scarce as it was at the beginning, especially with the development of equipment such as hydropower, wind power and, quite importantly, vacuum steam power, which has increased output a lot.
Moreover, with the best-selling of Liuqiu jade products in the Great Song Dynasty market, many copper coins that are about to become copper mines can't help but be taken out and replaced with crystal clear Liuqiu jade, so they have to wait in line.
At least, the revenue of the Great Song government, which was involved in the collection of commercial taxes, increased significantly, and the amount of copper coins circulating in the market increased.
The small Liuqiu jade products have become a major product that stimulates the commercial flow of many Great Song Dynasty.
Similarly, this commercial mobility stimulates the movement of labor.
Of course, the Great Song Dynasty also does not have a household registration system, which also promotes this positively.
A good economic development method must be matched by a political form that conforms to common sense, otherwise it will only be a short-lived prosperity.
As a result, there is an increasing number of workers, both men and women, who are coming to the island in search of opportunities.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, looked at their wide-eyed expressions and said, "If you have any questions, please speak up------
If something goes wrong, you cover other people's mouths, and if others don't understand, you also cover other people's mouths, which is asking for your own death.
Understanding why is always more important than knowing how to do it, and this is how Zhang Guoan tries his best to cultivate their big-picture vision.
Captain Huang Zu's mood is extremely complicated, he really hopes that Zhang Daozhu can give the Great Song Dynasty more armaments, and even help the Great Song Dynasty to send troops, he is all supportive, and he will be successful in the future, not seeking to glorify the ancestors, at least leave a good name in the history.
If the owner of Zhang Island can take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, judging from the current development of Liuqiu Island, it is easy to get the official position of a Liuqiu envoy, then it is a feudal official, a generation of important ministers!
However, Zhang had no such intention------
Huang Zu's team said for a long time: "------ such a heavy weapon, is Zhang Island Lord willing to use it to exchange labor? ”
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, smiled lightly, presumably everyone thinks so.
The most important thing for this kind of rocket is the processing of the black fire/medicine engine, and secondly, the processing of the streamlined body of the rocket launcher.
However, as long as they learn to process the deep-hole medicine column, and then grasp the data of the bazooka body, they will soon master it by virtue of the exhaustive method of the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty, plus the processing characteristics of knowing what it is and not knowing why it is true.
Therefore, if you take it out now, you can only make some cash, and it won't be too long.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, said:
"If the generation difference in weapons is not enough, then weapons will not be the only reason for victory, but still rely on morale, that is, who is more ruthless than whom.
We will first sell this batch of weapons directly to the armies in various places, because the Great Song City Bosi still doesn't understand what kind of commodity this is, and maybe they will be regarded as fireworks or something.
Our production is not enough, if it is directly handed over to the Great Song Dynasty government now, they may all be used to defend Lin'an City, I am afraid that the effect will not be great, and we also want to have some personal relations with the military supervisors in various places------"
Captain Huang Zu said: "Why don't you directly teach the techniques built by the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
"Not good. I hope this time it's going to be from the bottom up. ”
Zhang Guoan patted Captain Huang Zu on the shoulder and said, "This time, you take a rocket team and a hundred high-explosive rockets directly to the Jinghu Theater and sell it to Lu Wende."
For the remaining 100 pieces, you will go to Gaoyou Zhang Shijie and Yangzhou City Li Tingzhi to sell 50 pieces each, and teach them the methods and essentials of launching.
The price, you can order it yourself, if there is more labor, you will want more, and if you have less, you will ask for less, the old rules, three years of labor. ”
Captain Huang Zu is happy, Zhang Daoist is still mainly helping the Great Song Dynasty, and the people who are working here now should feel that they have earned it.
Of course, the first batch of laborers, after the expiration of three years, returned to the Great Song Dynasty, less than one percent, and there were many like the director of Hu Zhenbei, who settled down. (To be continued.) )
