Chapter 44: The plan opens the way
Building a workshop in the mountains is not a wise choice.
The main problem is inconvenient transportation.
The materials need to be transported in and the finished products need to be transported out. I don’t know how much effort it takes.
The only benefit is that it is concealed and has higher security.
Fortunately, what we need now is safety and concealment, and there is no shortage of labor. There are still five thousand young and strong women in Crescent Valley, and there are tens of thousands of healthy women who can work. The land in Crescent Valley has long been cleared out and planted with food, and now most of them are doing nothing. Since there is no shortage of labor and inconvenient transportation, it can be temporarily used to get it with manpower.
It is too chaotic outside the mountain now. The court's soldiers and bandits are about to break out, and it is not a good place to develop with peace of mind.
No words all night.
The next day, Ying Yi lingered in Bibo Valley for a whole day and confirmed the levels and categories of 247 craftsmen.
In terms of level, as Ying Yi said before, it is temporarily set to three levels. Among them, there are only eight third-level craftsmen, forty-one second-level craftsmen, and the remaining 198 are all first-level craftsmen. Among them, Pu Tiech is a master craftsman in the workshop as a third-level craftsman.
It is also divided into five categories according to their own expertise, namely gold, wood, water, fire and earth. Among them, some of them are also mentioned. Gold is the craftsman who prepares metal utensils, wood is naturally the craftsman related to woodworking, water is mainly craftsmen who dig wells and canals, fire is naturally craftsmen who smelting and firing, and soil is naturally stonemasoners and bricklayers.
Classify and then register.
It is very formal, making the craftsmen feel very happy. The more formal it is, the more trustworthy it is. If it is too casual, it will naturally not be trustworthy.
After registration and construction, the entire Bibo Valley began to enter the construction of the big construction. These craftsmen included almost all categories and were experts in the construction. Seeing that they had hope, they all tried their best. Under the leadership of Pu Tieqiao and seven other third-level craftsmen, they divided the labor and cooperated, logging and quarrying, and quarrying, and were in full swing for a while.
There are eight third-level craftsmen, including five categories. Among them, there are two gold, wood, earth, and fire. Ying Yi appointed as the leader and deputy leader, responsible for one category of craftsmen. There is only one third-level craftsman in the water category, but there is no deputy.
Second Niu and fourth sister-in-law formally introduced the craftsmen and told them what they would be responsible for in the future. Bibogu's temporary airs were set up.
Before Ying Yi left, the fourth sister-in-law pulled him aside and said, "There is not much food in the valley. There are more than 200 mouths, and they are all big-bellied men. Twenty stones of grain have been taken in just two days. Brother Ying, you have to think of a way."
Ying Yi smiled and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, just don't worry. There will be food."
He called Erniu again: "From now on, you and your fourth sister-in-law will take responsibility. If you have anything to solve, solve it immediately. If you can't solve it, write down the problem, or go to the scholar or look for me."
Ying Yi left with a slightly nervous expression.
When we returned to Crescent Valley, it was just getting dark. The soldiers were just disbanding. Ying Yi looked at it and nodded slightly. Although it was only a day or two, he could finally see some of the rules compared to the beginning.
In his military book, Grandpa Qi Jiguang said that there are strict requirements for choosing soldiers. Don’t be slick gangsters, don’t be strong and tough, and choose honest and honest good-fathers. Naturally, there are his reasons for this.
The gangsters in the market and the strong man who show off their strength and ruthlessness are just thorns, disobeying discipline, and are self-centered.
Qi Jiguang's idea is to open a large formation and train a formation against the great enemy. The cowardly ones do not retreat, the brave ones do not advance, the whole army is as one, and thousands of troops are as armed as one. The more honest ones are, the easier it is to train. The more innocent ones are, the more likely they are to lose their chains at critical moments.
Ying Yi highly agrees with this. Although the army is a melting pot and any kind of person can be refined. But for now, time is the key. Of course, the thorns can be melted, but it takes longer, and Ying Yi does not have that much time to grind for the time being.
So the more than 3,000 people chose honest people.
Under the strict military law, it took only two days to take shape. If it weren't for an honest person, it would definitely not be possible.
After the army was disbanded, they arranged for dinner and rest. After that, Ying Yi and Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun exchanged views, and then called Sun Xiucai and Lian Biao.
"I guess I have to open the road." Ying Yi said, "The road leading to the Crescent Valley to Bibo Valley and the road leading to Xiaowangzhuang will be opened together. The transportation in the mountains is inconvenient, and Bibo Valley will be built as a workshop. Whether it is the transportation of materials or the transportation of finished products, it is extremely difficult. There are many people working on the left and right now, so the matter of opening the road can be temporarily planned. What does the scholar think?"
After hearing this, the scholar nodded repeatedly: "If you don't say it, your subordinates will also recommend it."
Ying Yi nodded slightly: "Then you plan to organize the manpower. According to my opinion, it is divided into three batches, one of the ends of the Crescent Valley, and one of the two batches of the Bibo Valley, one of the two batches of the Bibo Valley, one of the two batches of the Bibo Valley, and one of the batches of the Crescent Valley, and one of the small Wangzhuang outside the mountain. However, before opening the road, you must first explore the path and walk along the valley and streams, and you cannot come hard."
Sun Xiucai said, "Don't worry, sir, I'll save my subordinates."
He said: "But it's difficult to get the road in the mountains, but in terms of tools..."
Ying Yi nodded: "Don't worry, I will start a batch of materials from Ye County as soon as possible. Once the shelves on Bibo Valley are built and the tools required can be made by themselves soon. You can organize the manpower first, and I have a district for the rest."
He also said: "There are five tiger squatting cannons in Ye County, which means that there should be some gunpowder stored. Some craftsmen in Bibo Valley can also make gunpowder, but they need materials. If the gunpowder is sufficient, it will be easier to open the road. But there may be no way for the time being, so they can only be done by manpower."
He paused and sighed, "Now everything is just beginning, and there are difficulties everywhere. Let the army be the first. I plan to start making the gun after the craftsmen make the first batch of gun tips I need."
Sun Xiucai also sighed, but soon cheered up: "As long as you start, it will be smoother and smoother in the future. Don't be discouraged."
Ying Yi laughed: "Since I have taken this step, how can I be discouraged?"
Then he said, "Besides opening the way, there is one more thing that you have to put on the agenda immediately."
The scholar said: "Please give me instructions."
"The gun tip is made first in Bibo Valley, so when the gun tip is available, the gun stick must not be missing. Therefore, I want you to organize some people and start making the rod immediately. I am afraid that some people will say that if you don't understand, go to Bibo Valley to find a few craftsmen to guide you." The gun stick is the primary requirement, so Ying Yi said it very seriously.
Then he said, "Apart from weapons and armor... I'm afraid I don't have to think about it for the time being. But I thought, if there is a condition, I might be able to unify the military uniforms first. But there is no resources in the valley, so I'm afraid I can only suppress it for the time being."
Sun Xiucai thought for a while: "I think of a solution after I go down."
"It's good if you have a way, and there's no way, there's no need to force it." Ying Yi said: "Remember not to force the people."
