Chapter 40: Preferential Treatment (2)
Since he was transferred to a formal management company, he has also been recognized and named by the General's Mansion in Guangzhou City. Although he was asked to bring back a wooden sign carved with famous names and ministries, it means that Zhou Huaian can justify mobilize and use more resources under the banner of Nufeng Camp.
For example, if he takes the initiative to confess, he can take people out of the camp with justification and collect and purchase the required materials and materials without unnecessary reporting and requests; or, according to the righteousness of the Nufeng Camp, who is preparing for war, people will directly requisition or take over temporarily, and be responsible for specific places, personnel and other resources within the territory; this also means that Zhou Huaian's specific scope of activities and the source of information collection will be further expanded.
In a sense, the possibility of him escaping and getting out is more and more important than in Shixiang Town; but in this case, he has extinguished his intention of taking advantage of tricks. After all, this huge Lingnan land is no more convenient than the Jiangnan roads with densely populated areas. If he really wants to leave alone, how far can he run and where can he go?
Therefore, he focused his attention and thoughts on things around him, and letting early and late come back and night lights gradually become a common norm in the raging wind camp. Therefore, after several days of busy schedules, he finally waited for the initial acceptance results.
Under the sun's light of the daylight,
With the skill of an old military soldier who was a barber, Zhou Huaian's hair ends gradually became long and long, and left a thin stubble like a tiny plate. Then he foamed the dried and grinded soapy horn foam on his mouth and began to shave his beard with a grinded small scraper.
This is also his only privilege as a monk, because most men in this era had the habit of keeping beards, and men without beards were usually regarded as father-in-laws without eggs, or as slaves and servants who advocated favors and other things. When he was in the crowd, he was mistakenly recognized as a monk by the Captain Chai, which was somewhat of a reason for this.
After repairing his head and face, with the diligent help of Xiaoqi, who was carrying the hot water pot, he began to rinse the debris on his head and face, and then wiped some foam on his head and face again. This kind of thing that can produce turbid foam is one of the short results of his efforts during this period.
The finely filtered reeds and wormwood ash, plus the filtered animal fat, after sufficient stirring and reaction, they become the yellow, black and dirty things like skimming strips in front of you. This is the original soap with certain cleaning and washing effects;
This also means that he can finally wash his clothes and body well, instead of continuing to rub the body with smelly dried pig pancreas and melon pulp. Especially when washing his hair, using this kind of thing to apply on the scalp is simply a torture. However, due to the raw materials and costs of hand-made this thing, the current pitiful output can only be used as a trial product. The team's top players can all be divided into a disguised way to buy people's hearts and promote it.
Although this thing has caused a lot of jokes after being given out due to its appearance, once you understand the purpose and benefits, it quickly becomes a popular thing in various senses. Zhou Huaian, who has a truly wonderful idea, can easily become the object of help and inquiries, and slowly reveals some expanded influence.
After sorting out personal hygiene, through the window with a good vision, Zhou Huaian could see a busy and similar center of the camp. Except for the men who practiced routinely, the rest of the people were almost all concentrated here to carry out various temporary production and material preparation activities. In fact, even the expanded new soldiers were adjusted to the schedule, and only arranged for morning exercises and equipment. After lunch, they were fully transferred to the helper roles in the camp.
With those figures pushing the carts in and out, the old swords, guns and rods were uniformly taken back, and they were re-polished and renovated by the blacksmith team in the camp, melted and cast off the damaged and incomplete parts, and replaced them with newly made ones. Then, on this basis, try to achieve limited uniform styles and regulations.
In a blacksmith's shed with jingling and sparks splashing around the corner, several shirtless men were waving their hammers to hit several iron sheets, and finally forged them into curved flat strips bit by bit; finally put them in fine sand and chalk water to temper them, and then they were basically formed;
This is the original spring steel made of forged with cast iron and cooked iron sheets. After drilling holes with iron felt and drills, it is a ready-made bow arm, with some of the longer ones being iron arm bows and shorter crossbow arms; then installed with fixed corners and tendons, it is a freshly baked reinforced crossbow.
According to the test results of several samples made in advance, although there are slightly different due to the general manual process, at least in terms of the elasticity of the accumulation and stretching, these reinforced iron arm bows are much stronger than traditional wooden bows and corner bows. Therefore, they soon became popular goods in the camp, and the generals led by Wang Pan were asked for it without saying a word and refused to return them.
He also seemed to underestimate the obsession and concern of these ancient people about having a good bow, and they would not feel much worse than the true love fans in later generations who lined up all night to buy "Shen Qi". Therefore, during this period, outside the blacksmith's shed, there were always many figures that could not be driven away and could not be driven away.
Then, the dismantling and imitating of the wooden single crossbows. By replacing the crossbow arms with a clipped iron, adding a simple de-cut and polished wooden support and lower grip, the stepped mountain and star ring were added. Without adding too much weight, twenty-five so-called iron single crossbows could be skewed with one hand and stably shot with the other. Ten of them were bargained, and the near-water tower was given priority to more than a dozen soldiers under Zhou Huaian, which was considered to have fulfilled their original promise.
He also used all-fine iron in private to create a small iron-arm crossbow that can be quickly wound, which is legitimate for close-fitting protection. However, the current improvement in military industry has reached this level, because this transformation on the crossbow alone has basically consumed most of the high-quality iron materials that can be found in the current Nufeng Camp.
In addition to the preparations for logistics assistance, such as in temporary warehouses and sheds, others are making new shoes that are easy to travel with coarse cloth and woven straw, along with hardwood bases that should be shaped.
Some people, led by the tailor group, used the collected coarse cloth and thick silk to make leggings and straps, as well as coarse cloth sewn shoulder bags and waist bags. At the same time, a group of people were running outside to collect materials for making rain gear such as straw hats and straw raincoats; the kitchen began to steam and bake dead bread for long-term carrying and storage, and no longer stingy with firewood and charcoal to smoke and bake the slaughtered poultry and livestock into dried jelly, wax and bacon,...
There is no tall fiberglass iron and steel cement steam engine, only lime, earthen bricks, pig iron, wood and pottery, coarse cloth and vines. Basically, changes start from the subtleties and daily subtleties of these moves to ensure that this temporary army can obtain better out-of-stage status and potential action bonuses; and even provide itself with a better shelter environment and living conditions.
In other words, it is also a preview and experience when he wants to leave in the future.
However, today, Zhou Huaian, who was dressed neatly in a long blue robe, had another important thing; for this reason, Wang Pan even sent his own copper official defense and wooden deeds.
