My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Early May.

While the workshop started to work, Ning Qingxi took time off to accompany Wang Xiujuan to the fields for a while to see the fish and rice cultivation, for a while to see the fruits and vegetables Wang Xiujuan was planting, and for a while to see the injuries.

On the other hand, Lu Cui, the person in charge of the workshop, was too busy to touch the ground.

With the experience of using it in the first battle, Chang Yuan attached the highest importance to the workshop.

In addition to recruiting new recruits every day, they would come over to check the construction progress of Taoyuan Village in their spare time.

"Master Lu, how long is it estimated that the relocation will start on the other side of the mountain?" Chang Yuan walked over with his hands behind his back, looking at Master Lu who was directing everyone to work and asked.

Lu Cui was awakened by the sudden voice, and quickly turned his head and bowed to salute, "General, there are really not enough manpower. If there are more manpower, it may be faster. If only these people help, I guess It will take a month anyway."

One month is not enough, Chang Yuan still thinks that the workshop will continue to make more gunpowder for him to march and fight. If it is relocated, it will take a month. During the relocation, these craftsmen will have to do other work. Do gunpowder?

"Master Lu, how many more people do you need here?" Chang Yuan asked.

With a bitter face, Lu Cui was overjoyed when he heard this, "General, the more the better, at least two hundred more craftsmen are needed."

It's hard to find craftsmen these days. Craftsmen are all privately owned. Chang Yuan's way of obtaining craftsmen is nothing more than taking captives from others. Even a few people who make a living by carpenters and blacksmiths will not expose themselves when they flee for their lives. Skill, because if he is captured, he will have to sell himself as a slave for the rest of his life.

"Can craftsmen be of any kind? Carpenters and stonemasons are fine too?" Chang Yuan asked.

Most of the work in the workshop is to build the never-before-seen tools given by Ning Qingxi, so in fact, it doesn't matter what kind of craftsman it is, as long as there is experience in craftsmanship, Lu Cui will not pick it.

"Go back to the general, it's fine, as long as you have experience as a craftsman, as long as you have been a craftsman and have a little training here, you can use it." After Lu Cui finished speaking, he paused. He thought that a lot of manpower was needed on the mountain. "General, another 1000 people are needed on the mountain. There are not enough people to dig the mountain. If we want to complete all the fortifications in a short period of time, we need some more people."

"Okay, I'll send someone over later, and you will be responsible for the arrangements." Chang Yuan wanted to go back after he finished speaking, but he settled down halfway, got on his horse, and led the people to ride towards Jiuwan Mountain outside the city. Hurry up, his destination is the Taoyuanzhai Fortification Office in Jiuwan Mountain.

The plan Ning Qingxi presented to him was very clear, concise and to the point. Chang Yuan read it once, and then cooperated with Ning Qingxi's explanation to understand what Ning Qingxi wanted to achieve.

If Taoyuan Village is rebuilt, Jiuwan Mountain will be the most important of all Changyuan's cities in the future.

Although it is time-consuming, labor-intensive and food-consuming to lay those tracks, Chang Yuan knows that it is all worth it.

They used gunpowder in the battle against Jinzhou City. The news must have spread all over the world in a short time. After all, not everyone was captured at that time, and some people still escaped.

At that time, all the eyes of those who are interested will definitely be put on him. Chang Yuan has to make preparations quickly and expend all manpower and material resources to relocate the artisan workshop in a short period of time.

"General." As soon as Chang Yuan's troops arrived, someone came up to receive them.

"Go and do your work. I'm just here to take a casual look, so don't delay the work." After Chang Yuan finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Just find someone to show us."

There are hot workers everywhere here, and he really doesn't know what to do there, even though he has read the plan.

"Yes, General." After hearing this, the steward bowed his hands and retreated. Not long after, a young and smart man came to receive Chang Yuan and the others.

Chang Yuan and the others walked forward with their hands behind their backs and watched. A group of people led the horses up the mountain, and they went to one place and asked one place.

"What's going on over there?" Chang Yuan asked, pointing to a few people carrying gravel not far away.

The clever man beside him bent down and replied: "General Haojia knows that they are transporting gravel to fill the track." Before Chang Yuan could ask, he explained: "The gravel is laid under the track, and then the track is filled with gravel." Adding sleepers can reduce the vibration when the mine cart passes by."

As soon as Chang Yuan heard what he said, he understood that the footsteps of the few people had been going up, and there were craftsmen laying tracks and people carrying various materials along the way.

He walked to the front of the mountain. At this time, half of the mountain had been dug out, and the stone wall of the dug out tunnel was covered with cement. It was no longer as narrow as the tunnel that Ning Qingxi and the others accidentally discovered. Five or six people stood side by side. Passing is not a problem.

Chang Yuan walked into the Taoyuan Village along the original narrow gap, and saw that the people who built the city wall were busy. After walking around for a while, he went back satisfied.

……

"Are you going to join the army? General Chang has recruited soldiers. I heard that their soldiers are treated very well. They have enough to eat every day. There is also meat to eat during training. If they win the battle, they may be able to reward you. Yinzi married a daughter-in-law."

The news of Chang Yuan's recruitment has been released for a few days, but at the beginning only a few people went there, until Chang Yuan began to let people spread the word about their treatment in the army, and then more and more people came to line up to serve as soldiers.

"Is it true or not? If you win a battle, can you still get money?"

"Look at what you said, what did I lie to you for? Didn't the people brought out by General Chang win the battle? My cousin who was a waiter in the restaurant told me that those people said in the restaurant that they fought There will be silver rewards for those who win! And all the wounded soldiers are well settled, and there is also a compensation for the wounded!"

"Is there any military salary on weekdays?"

"Can General Chang be short of something from us? They must be paid by the army! But I don't think there is any pay by the army."

As soon as the man said this, the others became curious and looked at him in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"You don't know yet, the top soldiers at the bottom are all paid by the army, only the small bosses don't get paid, but do you know what they get? They use the fields as their salary! Every year!"

"What? Are they allocated fields every year?"

"Not so bad? If you work in the army for a few years, the family will become small landlords! Although ordinary soldiers can't use the fields as military pay, they will reward the fields for bravery in battle or meritorious service."

The others gasped when they heard this, and then one after another they left.

No matter how stupid the person was, he also realized that there were fewer and fewer people around the man. Looking at the direction, many people were running in the direction of recruiting soldiers.
