Chapter 271: The Arsenal Opens
Under the personal leadership of Zhu Youzhen, the militia took the initiative for the first time and was a great success. It's just that due to the excessive loot, it took seven days just to transport things back to Qinwangzhuang. Among them, it took six and a half days from the mountainous area of Lantian to Jingyang County, and as soon as you entered Jingyang County and got on the West Qin Highway, the speed was greatly accelerated, and it took less than half a day to arrive at Qinwangzhuang.
"Xiqin Highway" is the first project completed before, the brick and stone road from Xi'an to Qinwangzhuang. This name was chosen by Zhu Youzhen according to the rules of his previous life, and everyone felt very fresh when they heard it. Because in this era, roads only have general names such as "official roads" and "post roads", but there are no specific names.
Zhu Youzhen felt that this was very inconvenient, especially since the roads would definitely be built more and more in the future, and it would be easy to manage with a name. Another road leading to Jingyang County is also named "Jingqin Highway". Of course, it is called a "highway", but in fact it is too far from a highway in the modern sense, and there is not even the most basic asphalt pavement.
Zhu Youzhen has secretly made up his mind that he must find ways to make asphalt. But he still doesn't have a clue how to do it. After all, in his previous life, he was just an ordinary student at a third-rate pheasant university, not a Super Saiyan with a Baidu brain and a power that penetrates the world.
Of course, Zhu Youzhen will not rush back slowly with the brigade transporting supplies, his time is very precious! At dusk the next day, he was protected by Li Dingguo and brought the more than 20 craftsmen and more than 100 birds back to Qinwangzhuang first.
After a few days, Qinwangzhuang has undergone some changes. The large area of low shacks that used to be is still there, but a small piece of open space has begun to dig trenches and start laying foundations to build houses. Because there were no new roads built during this time, and the output of the brick factories also increased, there were a large number of bricks that could be invested in the construction of houses.
This time, Zhu Youzhen also made a clear plan for Qinwangzhuang's new residence. In the past, the courtyard pattern of independent courtyards, each main house, inverted seat room, east and west wing rooms, and ear rooms was completely abandoned; The newly built buildings are all townhouses, with 10 households in each row, and each household is divided into two rooms, the outer room is the living room and the inner room is the bedroom. If the family has a large population and cannot live in one household, it can be allocated to two households.
As for the kitchen and toilet, they were all abandoned. Because the porridge factory in Qinwangzhuang has now been transformed into a large-scale canteen, all the villagers who participate in the work of the Jingyang Shanggang can solve the problem of three meals a day in the canteen, and there is no need to cook at home. Of course, the canteen is no longer free, but charges for meals according to the amount of food. But the price is still relatively low, and with the salary level of the common people, it is completely affordable.
Men's and women's toilets, which are shared by each row, were built before the premises and are now in use. These toilets are cleaned by a special person, and Rui'er, who exercises power instead of Zhu Youzhen, pays the most attention to hygiene, and has to check several toilets every day. Once it is found that the feces are not cleaned up in time, the monthly silver of the manager will be immediately deducted, and all the managers will be cleaned together. The others were not punished, and of course blamed the lazy one. After a few times, no one dares to be lazy.
In this way, firstly, a large amount of bricks and land were saved, and secondly, the management of workers was invisibly strengthened, which was quite a bit of the collectivized life of the previous life. In the current situation of waste and limited funds and manpower, this approach has achieved good results. If we continue to build houses as before, I am afraid that even in a few years, we will not be able to return to the previous scale, and other work will be greatly affected.
The people's houses were in full swing, but the Qin Wangfu was still a large open space. Except for Bao Yulian, who was pregnant and built a single room next to the medical center, the others still lived in makeshift tents.
Zhu Youzhen went to visit Bao Yulian first. Since she no longer sits in the clinic, Bao Yulian is very idle. It's just that her pregnancy reaction is more severe, she vomits whatever she eats, she vomits darkly, and she is much thinner than before.
Zhu Youzhen was very distressed, and said guiltily: "My husband is too busy these days, and he can't take care of you at home for two more days, which makes you suffer!" ”
Bao Yulian smiled and said, "It's nothing bitter!" Yu Lian is a doctor and has her own way. It's the prince, you have been outside for too long, and those men are rough, how do you know how to take care of the prince. Why don't you let the princess follow and take care of your daily life! ”
"Rui'er is also very busy!" Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly, "If your husband is not at home, she wants her to hold it inside and out..."
Bao Yulian smiled narrowly and said, "Lord Wang, why are you so stupid, do you have to say it to you?" Yulian is pregnant, although the princess doesn't say it, she is in a hurry! Okay, okay, there's nothing to do here, so why don't you hurry up and accompany the princess! ”
Zhu Youzhen almost let Bao Yulian push her to the outside of Rui'er's tent, but saw Rui'er dressing up in the tent. When the maid Yiyi saw Zhu Youzhen coming back, she exclaimed in surprise: "Lord Wang, you are back!" ”
Rui'er also heard the sound. At this time, she had just finished dressing up, and she was really charming and moving. Bao Yulian hurriedly glanced at Yi Yi and said, "Sister, come to my room, my sister has a flower that is always embroidered badly!" ”
The second daughter went away giggling and hung Zhu Youzhen and Rui'er on the spot.
Zhu Youzhen led the militia to fight this time, Rui'er was worried to death, and hoped that he would come back quickly. At this time, they met, but they were a little timid, and they just hung their heads and wept silently.
Zhu Youzhen was moved in his heart, and hurriedly hugged Rui'er into the account.
As the saying goes, Xiao Bie is better than newlywed, and the two of them lingered on this night, doing it four or five times until they were exhausted and ran out of food. Rui'er was like a pitiful kitten, snuggling in Zhu Youzhen's arms and saying happily: "Lord Wang... It would be great if you could get rid of those chores, every day! ”
Zhu Youzhen was taken aback and said, "This... Isn't Rui'er afraid of dying for her husband? ”
"The prince is so bad, people don't mean that!" Rui'er blushed busily, beat Zhu Youzhen's chest and said, "People just want to accompany the prince more, who is going to do that kind of bad thing..."
"Husband and wife, the great desire of people, how is it a bad thing." Zhu Youzhen said with a smile, "Besides, if you don't have sex, how can you give birth to children for your husband." ”
When Rui'er heard this, her mood suddenly became low, and she said faintly: "But until now, Rui'er is not pregnant..."
Zhu Youzhen was also stunned, vaguely remembering Chongzhen in history, as if he and the queen did not have children. Could it be that Rui'er really has some defects in her body that lead to infertility? This is troublesome, and now there is no artificial insemination and IVF technology in the previous life, if Ruier has not been able to conceive, I don't know how sad it should be!
Thinking of this, he didn't dare to continue thinking about it, so he had to shake his spirits and pick up his gun again. I want to be sincere, the gold and stone are open, for the happiness of Rui'er's life, this king has to be a seven times a night!
This battle was dark again, and in the end, Zhu Youzhen completely surrendered and fell asleep. It wasn't until the third pole of the sun that he was woken up by the maid Yiyi.
"The princess is up?" Zhu Youzhen asked embarrassedly.
"The princess has already gotten up, and she is training those group warriors at this time!" Yi Yi whispered softly, "Please allow the slave to change the clothes of the prince..."
Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, and hurriedly said vaguely: "What, you go and get busy, I'll just dress myself..."
"But the mother just told me that you must be a slave and maid to change your clothes..."
Zhu Youzhen was really a little crying and laughing, secretly thinking that this Rui'er was too anxious, and he couldn't conceive a child, so he wanted Yiyi to replace him? However, he couldn't poison a childish little girl no matter what, so he had to say embarrassedly: "You are right to listen to the princess, but the princess must also listen to the king!" Well, you go get that flintlock pistol for me first! ”
By the time Yi Yi took the pistol, Zhu Youzhen had already dressed haphazardly and stepped on his shoes. Yi Yi's eyes were full of tears, although he didn't dare to speak, he looked extremely aggrieved!
Zhu Youzhen had to comfort her and said, "You are still young..."
This ambiguous sentence made Yi Yi happy. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes embarrassedly, and smiled at Zhu Youzhen: "Lord Wang, the slave maid will go to the canteen and bring your breakfast!" ”
"No need!" Zhu Youzhen hurriedly said, "I'll just go to the cafeteria and eat by myself!" ”
He took the opportunity to escape from the tent, but instead of going to the cafeteria, he went straight to the arsenal outside the village.
It turned out that as soon as he returned to Qinwangzhuang yesterday, Zhu Youzhen immediately encircled a vacant land outside the village, and ordered Tuan Yong to seal this place tightly, prohibiting anyone from approaching, and he would build an arsenal here in the future.
Of course, the factory building cannot be built overnight, and now it is only a bamboo pole around the open space, and then separated by a thick curtain, so that the inside cannot be directly seen from the outside.
At this time, the curtain tent was already noisy, and the more than 20 craftsmen brought back by Zhu Youzhen had already begun to overhaul the captured birds.
Zhu Youzhen did not alarm them, but just watched quietly behind them. After looking at it for a while, his brows furrowed. It turns out that the production process of these bird guns is very ordinary, and they have been left in the warehouse for too long, lack of maintenance, and many of them have rusted. Although these craftsmen are skilled, they are helpless against these scrap copper and rotten iron, so they have to try to pick out the bird guns that can be used, and then carefully polish the rust marks, and then apply oil to prevent rust.
After picking for a long time, out of more than a hundred birds, only a dozen can still be used. Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but be disappointed, thinking that the bird guns were slow to fire, and these dozen guns were really not as good as bows and arrows when they were put on the battlefield.
In the midst of his depression, he suddenly saw a craftsman beside him, carefully fiddling with the rusty guns that others had discarded. I saw that he was flying, and in a short time he dismantled a bird gun into a mess of parts.
Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, and said in his heart, the guy who took a long time to get it, how can you say that it will be demolished! He was busy behind the man and shouted, "Stop me!" ”
But the man didn't look back, and continued to stir up. This time, Zhu Youzhen was really anxious, grabbed him and yelled: "What are you doing!" ”
The man stopped in a daze, and shouted like thunder, "What are you talking about? I can't hear clearly! ”
