My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Chapter 342
"Miss Ning, I'm afraid we don't have enough time. We can make at most five of each of these instruments in half a month. Even if we modify the original bed crossbows, we still won't be able to reach the quantity you want." Lu He looked embarrassed.

Ning Qingxi overestimated the production efficiency of the craftsmen. Even if all of them stopped what they were doing, it would take time to make these instruments. First it was the smelting and splicing of the steel, then the polishing of the details, and finally the transportation. Everything was a problem.

"Okay, just make it as quickly as possible. Make the bed crossbow first. If you don't make the rainstorm pear blossom arrows, it should be no problem to make ten bed crossbows in half a month, right?" Ning Qingxi said helplessly.

"In this case, everyone should be able to do it with some effort."

The Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Needle was modified by Ning Qingxi and made into the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Arrow. It is very lethal, mainly due to its simple operation and wide coverage.

But the number of arrows consumed is also huge.

After returning home, Ning Qingxi went to find Carpenter Sun again. All the shops in the county were closed and they had nothing to do.

The most troublesome thing about the Heavy Rain Pear Blossom Arrow is actually the arrow, but this is not a technical job. An ordinary carpenter can do it. The arrowhead can be directly wrapped with iron sheet, which still has the lethality and can save a lot of iron tools.

"Uncle Sun, I will leave the production of these arrows to you. I will pay you according to the quantity. As per the old rules, we will still work on a piece basis." Ning Qingxi said.

There is no income from being idle at home. In the past, he occasionally went to help outside the city to earn some money, but now there is no need for so many people there. Carpenter Sun is also happy to have more opportunities to make money.

These people have all been vaccinated. In addition, Wang Xiujuan and Ning Changrong have taken the lead, and everyone supports them. In the early stage of shortage of manpower, these people helped Wang Xiujuan a lot, otherwise the plague would not have stabilized so quickly. Come down.

Everyone is afraid of the plague, but they are not afraid, just because they trust Wang Xiujuan's family and believe what Wang Xiujuan said. They have been vaccinated against the plague and will never be infected with this kind of smallpox again in their lives.

But trust belongs to trust. When they were close to those patients, they still felt a little timid in their hearts. However, as time passed and they saw that they were fine, they slowly became more and more bold, and their attitudes infected them. After killing many people, those soldiers had the courage to maintain law and order.

The sick patients couldn't listen to any reason, and were obsessed with panic and fear of death. It was Mrs. Lai and the other old ladies who followed Wang Xiujuan to scold everyone awake, and they slowly cooperated.

It can be said that their contribution is both small and huge, and they are absolutely indispensable to the Ning family.

Carpenter Sun showed his teeth with joy, "Xixi is taking care of my uncle. Don't worry, I will definitely do this job for you. I will call all the people who work as carpenters with me here, and I will definitely hand it over to you on time." One hundred thousand."

Although the arrows in the Rainstorm Pear Blossom are arrows, they are different from the arrows of a bow and arrow. They are slightly smaller and are not as difficult to make as a bow and arrow, and do not require fletching.

Ning Qingxi smiled and thanked, "There is nothing to take care of. If Uncle Sun doesn't have this ability, I can't help you even if I want to take care of you. We are helping each other and can start at any time. You can go directly to the workshop to work. That’s fine, the more the better, there’s no upper limit.”

The space at home was too small to make arrows, so Ning Qingxi asked them to work directly in the remaining workshop in Taixi County, which would be convenient for transportation.

Once the bed crossbow is ready over there, it can be used to make Rainstorm Pear Blossom Arrows, and then the arrows are prepared here. Equip them at the nearest location first, and all the cities can be equipped within a month no matter what.

The most important thing is to equip Yuzhou first. Yuzhou is too close to Taixi County, and Liu Jianxing and Chang Yuan each occupy half of Yuzhou. As long as the other party takes the other half of Yuzhou, they can directly reach Taixi County and march to the city.

By then, if other places find that Taixi County is under siege, they will definitely have no intention of defending the city and will try their best to come to help.

Chang Yuan also knew this very well, and he immediately agreed when Ning Qingxi reported to him the matter of making arrows.

"Ms. Ning thought it through very carefully. We will do what Miss Ning said and equip Yuzhou first."

Chang Yuan looked at her with admiration, "If Miss Ning is a man, she will definitely be a general in the future." He is still the kind of wise general who is brave and strategic, and sometimes thinks about problems more thoughtfully than him.Sometimes Ning Qingxi also longed for the days of riding horses and fighting, but after her grandma took her to the wounded military camp once, she gave up that idea. She was not afraid of death, but was afraid that her grandma and her father would be sad.

Today's medical treatment is not as good as modern times, and people often die. In the past, a person whose stomach was slashed was able to be saved because he was lucky, and she was just doing her best.

The weather is so hot now, and if the situation happens again, it will definitely not be saved.

Ning Qingxi smiled slightly and said, neither humble nor arrogant, "General, everyone has their own talents and can play a role in their own positions. If everyone mounts to fight, who will manage the rear area?"

Chang Yuan laughed and said, "Miss Ning is right. Everyone performs their duties, but I am the one who takes care of them."

……

Somewhere in Jiuwan Mountain.

Wang Guilin, a group of people from the Fang family walked halfway and found that someone was sick, so they avoided those people. Then news spread that someone had the plague, so they walked around the crowd and climbed over the mountain.

Because they were always vigilant, no one in the team got sick.

Going up from the foot of Jiuwan Mountain, they passed through the mountains and forests all the way. When they came down again, they found that they had reached Taizhou Prefecture.

But when they wanted to go in, they were all blocked outside.

"Why! We are all refugees. Why won't we be allowed in? Why can those people get in?"

The refugees pointed angrily at the people being driven here by the soldiers.

The soldiers guarding the city were vigilant with knives and stood behind Juma. "If you want to enter the city, you must pass the inspection in Taixi County before you can be taken to settle in various places. Don't go any further! Otherwise, don't blame me for not sparing anyone with my sword!"

As soon as the soldiers finished speaking, the other soldiers on both sides looked at them eagerly, holding knives, and the soldiers on the city wall drew their bows and arrows.

Wang Guilin looked at this scene and patted Brother Fang, "Let's go, we went to the wrong place, we should go back to Taixi County, we can't get in here anyway." Originally, they thought of going in first to inquire about the news, but since they couldn't get in Then just go back.

Looking at the posture in front of them, these soldiers will not show mercy.

The refugees who rushed forward swallowed their saliva and were too frightened to take another step forward.

"Retreat!" the soldier shouted angrily.

They took a few steps back, and some were even pushed and trampled.

After everyone ran away, the soldiers stopped looking at them, and they didn't care about those who fell to the ground.

It was not known whether these people were sick, and the soldiers did not dare to contact them privately. If they came into contact with these refugees without permission, they would be punished with a stick or expelled from the army.
