Yang Cong looked at the cavalry and fire dragon chariots "confronted" in the middle of the school ground and frowned and pondered. What should he do if there are too few long-range attack methods?

It seems that it is not very difficult to solve this problem, just build more long-range attack equipment.

However, the Tartar cavalry will most likely attack Xuanfu Town in more than two months, and he has no time to build muskets and artillery.

Now, it seems that the only thing that can be used is the Sky Thunder. A group of five people have only thrown out one Sky Thunder in total. Why not each person throws one?

He simply asked, "The effect of this sky-bombing thunder seems to be pretty good. Why can't a group of five people throw only one sky-bombing thunder? How can we throw a few more?"

When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but focus on Tang Shunzhi. It was obvious that this tactic was drafted by Tang Shunzhi, and the others were not very clear about it. They were just practicing according to the tactics.

Tang Shunzhi quickly explained: "Sir, this throwing of the sky-bombing thunder requires certain skills. The time of burning the lead needs to be estimated. If it is too early, the sky-bombing thunder will break on the ground. If it is too late, it may explode as soon as it is thrown out, and it is very likely that it will hurt its own people. The burning time of this lead is the most experienced. The soldiers of the border soldiers were shaking a little with the Sky-bombing thunder hand, so the subordinates just asked the soldiers of the Shenji Camp to throw the Sky-bombing thunder, but did not let the soldiers of the border soldiers throw the Sky-bombing thunder."

This is understandable, just like setting off firecrackers. If you haven't let go, you are really scared to get the firecrackers in your hand. After all, it hurts to blow up firecrackers, and it is even more amazing to blow up the sky thunder. It may be pricked with iron thorns when blowing them. It is not surprising that the soldiers of the border soldiers are afraid.

Yang Cong thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "This is not possible. Everyone must throw the thunder on the sky. If it is just a matter of estimating the burning time of the lead, you can make a red mark on the lead and hit it when it burns it to the mark. Isn't it okay for each soldier to try it a few times."

If you faint, it’s no problem for each soldier to try a few more times. You have to have so many thunderstorms.

Tang Shunzhi felt a little embarrassed: "This, sir, we can't create so many thunders in a short time."

Isn’t it a simple thing to bomb the sky thunder? Burn a pottery jar, then stuff the gunpowder and iron needles into it and press it tightly, and seal it with a plug to lead the fuse out. You can’t make as much as you want.

Yang Cong said in confusion: "Sir, how many thunders can we make in a day now?"

Wang Xuan said a little embarrassedly: "This one, about one hundred."

There are 100 pieces a day, only 3,000 pieces a month, and only 8,000 pieces in more than two months. No wonder Tang Shunzhi dared not let the border soldiers try randomly. You should know that there are tens of thousands of elite border soldiers in Xuanfu Town, and each person will try tens of thousands of them. When the Tatar cavalry comes, they will be able to do anything!

It seems that the efficiency is too low. You should know that there are quite a few military craftsmen and craftsmen transferred here this time. The military craftsmen in Xuanfu Town alone gathered hundreds of people, and more than 200 craftsmen were transferred to the capital. Total of more than 300, it only takes 100 thunders to be built a day. Doesn’t that mean that a person can’t make a thunder in a day?

Yang Cong couldn't help but frown and said, "These military craftsmen and craftsmen are too slow to do things, right?"

Wang Xuan quickly explained: "Sir, they are not slow to do things. Although the structure of this thunderbolt is simple, it is actually quite troublesome to make. Just burning the clay pots includes six processes: soil, clay training, billet repair, drying, and firing kilns. Each process requires more than ten people to be arranged, and more than three hundred clay pots can be made in three days. There are also cast iron needles, milling leads, filling gunpowder, etc. behind it all require people. It is good that more than one hundred people can create 100 thunderbolts a day on average."

Yang Cong had not carefully understood the process of creating thunderbolts. According to Wang Xuan's opinion, it seemed that it would take at least three days to create a batch of thunderbolts, and there were more than ten processes. In this way, it was not too slow for more than 100 people to create thunderbolts a day.

This is definitely not possible. Booming Tianlei is a disposable consumable. The production capacity is so low, how can it be supplied when fighting?

Yang Cong thought for a while, then asked, "Sir, it seems that there is no need for any skilled craftsmen to pick soil and practice mud in simple steps, right?"

Some links do not require any skilled craftsmen. For example, picking soil, you just use a hoe to dig. If you have the strength, you can make it. For example, drying the blank is like carrying the prepared blank to dry in the sun, and then reclaim it after drying it. There is no technical content at all.

Wang Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, some links are about working hard and there is no need for any skilled craftsman."

This is easy to deal with. Yang Cong said without hesitation: "Okay, go to the city to post a notice and recruit military families to work. One or two taels of silver a month. As long as you have the strength, both men and women can do it. Recruit one or two thousand people to help first."

this!

It is not a problem to recruit one or two thousand people. There are almost tens of thousands of military households in the city, and each household has at least three or four people. Apart from the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled, there are always one or two people who can work in each household. However, this money is quite large, each person costs one or two taels of silver a month, and one or two thousand people is one or two thousand taels.

Wang Xuan subconsciously hesitated for a moment when he heard this, but when he thought of the Yang family's terrifying assets, he felt relieved again.

What Yang Cong needs at this moment is probably not money, but achievements. As long as he can defeat the invading Tartar cavalry, one or two thousand taels are nothing, I am afraid that even one or two thousand taels a month, Yang Cong will not frown.

Thinking of this, Wang Xuanluo said a little embarrassedly: "This, sir, the Fire Dragon Chariots are also a little short of people. Now we can only build a few cars a day, and at most two hundred cars a month. If the Tartars come, I'm afraid this Fire Dragon Chariot will be seriously insufficient."

This means that the Fire Dragon Chariot also needs manpower. Yang Cong asked lightly: "Is there any work that ordinary people do to build chariots?"

Wang Xuan nodded repeatedly and said, "Some, some, like logging, taking materials, tug-of-saw, etc., ordinary people can do it, and it's not difficult."

That's true. The problem that money can solve is not a problem. Yang Cong really doesn't care about money now.

He nodded without hesitation and said, "Well, you can do it. You can recruit as many people as you need. Three thousand, four thousand, five thousand, and tens of thousands of people are not a problem. Just one thing, you can only recruit military households. Moreover, you should also pay attention to some important processes and do not allow ordinary people to participate in some important processes."

As expected, Wang Xuan said understandably: "This official understands, don't worry, sir."

Yang Cong thought for a while, then solemnly said: "I don't care how many people you recruit. In short, the Sky Thunder must be more than 500 per day, and the Fire Dragon Chariot must be more than 20 per day. Is there any problem?"

Wang Xuan nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem."

The production problems of the Sky Thunder and Fire Dragon Warriors have been solved, but the problem of insufficient long-range attack methods seems to have not been solved yet.

Yang Cong immediately asked, "Yi Xiu, if each group of five people throws a thunderbolt, do you feel that this long-range attack is enough?"

Tang Shunzhi shook his head without hesitation and said, "Not enough!"
