In reality, everyone's assets have been counted and all turned into a bunch of numbers. As for what the bunch of numbers really have, the federal government has not announced it.

In the morning, Ouyang Shuo called Sun Xiaoyue to find out about her grandfather's summoning scientists.

According to Xiaoyue, her grandfather has contacted more than 20 scientists in the past half month, and has been staying in Dali Mansion for the time being, led by Xiaoyue to be familiar with the game environment.

In addition, Ouyang Shuo asked Sun Xiaoyue to do one thing, which was to investigate the situation of the Cui family in Dali Prefecture, especially after the disappearance of Cui family's eldest daughter Cui Yingyou.

After the territory was promoted to the county town, Ouyang Shuo gradually became confident to contact the Cui family. While Sun Xiaoyue was still in Dali Prefecture, she wanted to make a move.

In the afternoon, Song Jia called Ouyang Shuo again.

Ouyang Shuo's military talisman and letter were indeed effective and successfully moved the Song family. The marriage between Song Jia and Ruan Ping has been postponed indefinitely.

After Song Jia learned the news, she admired Ouyang Shuo so much that she showed her daughter's side more and more, and often called him.

In the evening, Ouyang Shuo went online on time.

After completing the routine practice, Ouyang Shuo did not stop at the Lord's Mansion, but walked towards the east area. For more than half a month, although the city wall had not been completed, the county town planning had been updated in advance.

The East District is the exclusive area of ​​the Bow and Crossbow Workshop, the Jiafang Workshop, the weapon workshop and the alchemy workshop.

Ouyang Shuo walked into the workshop of the Bow and Crossbow Department. Wu Peng, the director of the Bow and Crossbow Department and the director of the workshop, came up and said respectfully: "Sir!"

In ancient society, skilled talents, or craftsmen, had very low social status. Therefore, these skilled talents were generally inferior and were very respectful to the Lord Ouyang Shuo, including the previous senior carpenter Lu Guangzhi, senior winemaker Du Chun, pottery maker Zhu Youzhi and others, all of which were like this. Perhaps, only the director of the Jiafang Department and the master-level blacksmith Wang Zi were an alien.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and asked, "Director Wu, how much has the crossbow machine been made?"

The structure of a crossbow can be divided into three parts: arm, bow, and machine. The "arm" is generally made of wooden; the "bow" is horizontally located on the front of the arm; and the "machine" is installed at the back of the arm.

The crossbow machine Ouyang Shuo refers to is the most important part of the "machine" of the crossbow.

Crossbow machines are generally made of copper, or can be made of iron, and are installed in the crossbow "Guo". In front is the "tooth" used for stringing, and behind the "tooth" is "Wangshan". The "Wangshan" is engraved with a scale, which is equivalent to a watch ruler on modern guns, which is convenient for adjusting the angle of the crossbow firing according to the target distance and improving the shooting hit rate.

Below the copper turret is a "hanging knife", that is, a trigger, used to fire arrows.

When the crossbow is launched, first open the string, hold it on the "tooth" of the crossbow machine, put the arrow in the arrow groove on the "arm", aim through "Wangshan", turn the "hanging knife" to shrink the "tooth" and unhook the string. Use the kinetic energy formed by the rapid rebound of the open bow string to shoot the arrow out at high speed.

Twenty days ago, just after advancing in Shanhai County, Ouyang Shuo suddenly visited the crossbow department workshop and asked them to make all their efforts to make a batch of crossbow machines, with the number of no less than 100,000 pieces.

Although Wu Peng, the crossbow director, was puzzled about such strange requests from the Lord, did not raise any commission objections out of inferiority and obedience, but obeyed the law.

Crossbows are not like bows, and the materials are not difficult to find, and the requirements are very simple. They are directly forged with iron ore. The output of crossbows is limited by materials such as bow strings, horns and cowhide, and the output has not increased.

Because the Crossbow Department also takes into account the manufacturing of other finished crossbows, it can only forge an additional 500 crossbows every day on average. So far, just 10,000 pieces have been forged.

After listening to Wu Peng's report, Ouyang Shuo was not satisfied and said, "Director Wu, you still need to speed up the progress. You can appropriately compress the manufacturing of finished crossbows. Anyway, the demand for crossbows is not very large during this period."

"I understand!" Wu Peng nodded and responded.

Ouyang Shuo came out of the Bow and Crossbow Department and walked into the Jiafang Department workshop next to him.

It has been three and a half months since the establishment of the Jiafangsi. In early May, nearly two months after the Jiafangsi was established, the Jiafangsi delivered fifty sets of bright light armor to the cavalry battalion and one hundred sets of infantry armor to the infantry battalion.

These two batches of armor played an important role in the Battle of Zhuolu and were intimidating.

Similarly, this batch of armor also suffered varying degrees of damage. The damaged armor was brought back to the main map and handed over to the Jiafangsi for repair. It has been re-delivered to the Cavalry and Infantry Battalions for use.

After two months of pain, the group of craftsmen in Jiafangsi has finally begun to take shape. Nowadays, Jiafangsi has 1 master blacksmith, 4 senior blacksmiths, 20 intermediate blacksmiths, and 150 junior blacksmiths. In contrast, there are 1 master tailor consultant, 1 senior tailor, 5 intermediate tailors, and 10 junior tailors.

Such a huge group of craftsmen, the monthly salary is 340 gold coins, which is more than the military expenditure of one battalion, not including the costs of the consultant Mu Qingsi.

After the pain, the results were significant. Starting from May, Jiafangsi can forge 150 sets of bright light armor and 200 sets of stair armor every month.

Because the two batches of armor delivered in early May were forged before May. Therefore, at the end of May, Jiafangsi delivered 150 sets of Mingguang armor to the Pioneer Camp and 200 sets of Bingren armor to the First Battalion of the Mixed Brigade.

At this speed, the Pioneer Battalion can be completed at the end of July. The first battalion of the Mixed Brigade can be completed at the end of June. As for the second battalion of the Mixed Brigade, it will have to wait until mid-September before it can be completed.

In a short period of time, the production of Jiafangsi will not increase much. One is that the apprentices with blacksmith qualifications in the territory are all collected, and now they can only slowly search for new refugees. The other is that the supply of iron ore has also encountered bottlenecks.

The only mining farm in Shanhai County needs to supply weapons workshops forging Tang swords and horse lances, supply crossbows forging machines and arrows, and supply Jiafangsi forging armor. It has reached the supply limit. Even if it is increased to increase miners, it is useless because the place is so big that it cannot be expanded.

The only way is to find new iron ore in the territory.

After leaving Jiafangsi, Ouyang Shuo returned to the lord's mansion and continued to handle government affairs.

...

In the next week, Feng Qingyang's Swordsman Town and Di Chen's Handan Town were successively upgraded to first-level county towns. Especially Handan Town, after the failure, it was very difficult to rise again in the shortest time.

In this way, there are only three places left for the top ten areas in China, and it is unknown who will win.

Whether it is the domineering Bawang Town, the Shapojun Shura Town, the floating and illusory fallen leaves, the poor stone town, or even the search dragon and point acupoints, there are all opportunities.

These five territories belong to the third sequence. Compared with Shanhai County in the first sequence, Danyang County, Luofeng County, Chixue County, Lingxi County, Jianxia County and Handan County in the second sequence, they are one step behind. In a short period of time, they may not have the confidence to apply for promotion. Especially for Wanshi Town and Xunlong Town, they are not even satisfied with the basic conditions.

The decline of Shapojun was within Ouyang Shuo's expectations. In his previous life, Shapojun was the weakest among the six hegemons of Handan. Because the power represented by Shapojun has innate defects. Once the assets of the group in the gray area are frozen in reality, the powerful people who are good friends will no longer pay attention to them. Then, they are like a chamber pot, and after they are useless, they are abandoned aside.

These people are naturally very powerful in fighting bravely, but they still lack the opportunity to manage their territory.

In this week, Lushui Town became the biggest highlight of the entire territory, with a total of one medium-sized tribe and four small tribes settling in Lushui Town. In other words, the three tribes that hesitated before all decided to go down the mountain. In addition to the initial small tribe, Lushui Town suddenly increased by 14,000 people.

In this southern area, there are only two medium-sized tribes and four small tribes left in the mountains, including the Xuanniao tribe.

Except for the Xuanniao Tribe and the three small tribes that rely on the Langshan Mine, the remaining medium-sized tribe and small tribe are all stubborn. In a short period of time, it is difficult to convince them to go down the mountain.

The arrival of the mountain barbarians made the population of Lushui Town exceed 20,000, and was directly promoted to a second-level county. Zhao Dexian was also naturally appointed as the magistrate of Lushui County.

The ambitious Zhao Dexian threw out a plan of 400,000 acres of farmland.

In Zhao Dexian's plan, Lushui County will reclaim 380,000 mu of farmland before August, increasing the scale of farmland in Lushui County to 400,000 mu.

According to the average of 10 mu of land per person, 40,000 farmers need to farm for 400,000 mu. However, Lushui County now has less than 20,000 farmers, and most of them are agricultural novices like Shanman. If the elderly and children are out of the way, the real labor force will be even smaller.

After all, the 400,000 mu of indicator seems to be a bit aggressive and exaggerated.

In fact, Zhao Dexian has his own plan. Lushui County uses a silver-level village building token, and the attraction rate of refugees has increased by 40%. In other words, in the county, 280 refugees can be fired out every day and 8,400 refugees can be fired out every month.

There is still more than a month left before the second season of rice cultivation in early August. In other words, as long as you overcome the difficulties of one and a half months, by mid-September, the population of Lushui Town can exceed the 40,000 people mark.
Chapter completed!
