Chapter 125 Practice in the middle of the month
With the emperor's approval, things will be much easier.
Wu Yeshuang directly selected fifty members of the Youth League that she thought were good, and asked them to join the core production process.
Of course, according to custom, these people are divided into several groups, all of which only do one process, and they do not work together, and even the warehouse that temporarily serves as workshops is very far apart.
They are not together on weekdays, so they have to separate the interesting ones.
Even Du Wentao, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, had a friendly conversation with them one by one, telling them what kind of ending their parents, grandparents, and brothers and sisters would have when the secret was leaked.
The embroidered guard's red robe has always been scared of everyone.
Although they have no threat on weekdays, once they receive the emperor's orders, they are hungry wolves. No one can escape their pursuit, at least that's what ordinary people think.
This group of young people is generally between thirteen and fourteen years old. First, they will definitely not be brave, second, they have family concerns, and third, they have warnings from the embroidered yao guards, which immediately made them a little scared and kept Du Wentao's instructions firmly in their hearts.
This is no joke.
In modern terms, if you die, you will die of your entire household registration book. I’ll ask if you are afraid?
With such harsh conditions and requirements, the teenagers are rushing to join.
There is no reason, Liu Mingqi has mastered people's minds clearly.
These children who have experienced difficulties traveled thousands of miles to the capital and were finally taken to the palace by Prince Yu's mansion. This is a great blessing no matter how you look at it.
Children have simple thoughts. Whoever treats me well will do good to me. This is much more honest than adults.
But Liu Mingqi cannot trample on their loyalty by arbitrarily.
On the contrary, the teenager adopted a reward of heavy money.
For every young man who can add to the core of picric acid explosives, Liu Mingqi gave each person a subsidy of 100 taels of silver per month.
This number is really high.
Ordinarily speaking, the ordinary slaves in the Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince De's Mansion are now 10 taels of silver per month, and then they are rewarded with red envelopes during festivals, basically from fifteen to twenty wages a year.
If you don’t have special abilities, you usually earn more than one hundred taels a year.
This annual salary is considered high in the capital, and it is worth the owner of a shopkeeper of a shop.
However, for this group of poor families who once could not afford to eat and could only drink water and eat tree bark, of course, the more money the better.
It is impossible for them to feel at ease before they have experienced the unchanging kindness of Prince Yu's Mansion and Prince De's Mansion for more than ten years.
But more wages can make them feel safe.
The one hundred taels a month given by Liu Mingqi is like a kindness given by God. How dare the young men be negligent or not serious at all?
With their joining, Wu Yeshuang and Liu Mingyou were freed from the specific production and began to guide them on how to do it.
Gradually, the speed of making picric acid explosives began to accelerate.
However, Liu Mingqi's own progress was not fast for a while.
Because he is experimenting.
Didn’t it be the first time that five hundred detonations were made in one thousand square meters?
At an explosion point, two kilograms of picric acid explosives were placed, and a total of 1,000 kilograms were consumed.
The power of the explosion appeared, and only a few dozen of huge reef pillars were left, with the effect far beyond imagination.
Does this mean that my previous estimates were too conservative?
Physicists cannot say "almost" or "probably" like that.
What is required is an accuracy.
Accurate to one gram, accurate to one centimeter, accurate to one Newton, accurate to one cool!
Since it seems a bit wasteful now, and the production of picric acid explosives is very difficult and slow, so if you can save money, you need to redesign it when you turn around.
Finding a more appropriate explosion point again and burying the explosives again does not necessarily mean that every pit has the same weight.
Then, the design of semi-solid iron balls also needs to be reconsidered.
If you think about too much, it will naturally develop slowly.
Not only Liu Mingqi was constantly surveying and mapping, but Fang Xiaopang also brought his group of assistants to burn the reef pillars within a mile of radius all day long. Thick smoke could be seen in Tongjiang Town every day, just like a huge forest fire.
Seeing the power of the bomb, Zheng Ruwen excitedly returned to his scheming family to deal with matters that he had not yet completely sorted out.
Gu Chenyan, who was waiting here, was not in a hurry.
On the one hand, he followed Liu Mingqi to do surveying and calculations during the day, learning Liu Mingqi's various application knowledge, and on the other hand, he kept reading books at night, absorbing various physical theories and knowledge, and felt that life was very fulfilling.
A group of guards, including the Embroidered Guard and the Five Thousand Garages, did not slacken at all.
They are patrolling every day, and are alert to every possible risk.
The mountain people hired by Zheng Ruwen have been taken over by the embroidered yarn guards. They are responsible for paying the rewards and also for guiding them how to hide and fire signal flares.
Liu Mingjing was very happy. From time to time, he would go around the mountains with the mountain villagers. Every time he could bring some hares, pheasants, etc. back to change their tastes.
The hardest part is Liu Mingqi's 300 experimental tool guys.
They line up for two hours a day and queuing up and running is indispensable.
Even Liu Mingqi has begun to train them to adapt to the night.
For example, at the third update today, Liu Mingqi blew the gathering whistle and asked them to put on their clothes and run out as quickly as possible.
This really made a group of subordinates dress in a hurry while scolding Liu Mingqi for being so bloody.
It's early spring, it's very, very cold, and everyone is wearing winter clothes.
In this weather, when I was sleeping soundly, I suddenly had to blew a whistle and asked myself to wait for someone to go out to gather. Isn’t this full of food?
But they absolutely dare not violate the order.
Two hundred of the three hundred people are guards of the Dewang Mansion. They have to obey Liu Mingqi's command. Otherwise, they will pay you a monthly salary of hundreds of taels of silver every month, and all the elderly and children in the family will cover all the food, clothing, housing and use. What is the purpose?
The remaining 100 Qianniu Guards were appointed by Xiong Dabao, and the emperor also visited their training and asked them to obey the command and train them well to achieve a result.
In terms of emotion and reason, they all have to obey orders.
So no matter how much I complained, everyone would wear their clothes, bring what they should bring, and run to the middle of the open space in the camp.
For safety reasons, their station was at a bottleneck opening near Tongjiang Town.
There are not many people living nearby, so even if the whistle is a little harsh, people from other places are not panicked.
Liu Mingqi took Dazhu and Fan Shan, next to him was Liu Mingjing and Xiong Dabao, standing under the burning gasoline torch, looking at the scattered soldiers without saying a word.
Even when they arrived at the open space, it took a while before they woke up and began to find their teammates according to their numbers, and stood in a neat queue.
Xiong Dabao's face looked a little ugly.
Because before the whistle was blowing just now, Liu Mingqi said that this group of people must not be able to come out in one stick of incense, nor can they stand in the queue in one stick of incense.
Xiong Dabao was a little unbelievable, but now he has to admit that Liu Mingqi is right.
He thought that his 100 subordinates could meet the requirements of elite soldiers after such arduous training, but now he realized that they were still far from it!
Liu Mingjing disagreed with this.
He didn't think that Liu Mingqi was of such a sudden attack, but instead was a bit troublesome.
Not only Liu Mingjing thought so, but most of the soldiers who lined up in the cold wind and stood silently, thought so.
Liu Mingqi first let them stand for about half an hour, and then when they looked over one by one, they all avoided Liu Mingqi's eyes.
When a dignified prince can follow them to complete almost all training programs, and do better than them, it is to gain respect by strength.
"Bang!"
Liu Mingqi clapped her hands, "To be honest, I am very disappointed in your performance today. I thought you had already had the strength of an elite army after so nearly two months of training, but I didn't expect that you still have this kind of a fancy air and can't be taken seriously at all."
Three hundred people heard this, but none of them dared to interrupt.
The boy continued, "I originally thought you could run out to gather in the time of an incense stick, and then another incense stick could be arranged neatly, but you spent a whole three incense sticks!
You know, if an enemy attacks, my whistle will be a warning! You have been ready for three incense sticks. Do you think the saber of the grassland barbarians is not sharp enough to cut off your head?
Oh, no, I was wrong, you weren't ready at all! Look at the armor you were wearing! Look at what you were holding... Why, are you going to have a picnic?"
Liu Mingqi's words were very sharp and sarcastic, and she showed no mercy at all.
Xiong Dabao listened, as if he felt that he had heard Jing Hedi cursing.
It’s true that it’s a family, and it’s so poisonous to curse people!
However, Liu Mingqi did not scold her wrongly either.
Many people only start to look at their clothes at this time.
Some people wear only half of their armor, some don’t wear helmets, some of them wear simple shoes on weekdays, and some people wear jackets outside their armor.
As for what is in your hand, it is even more weird.
Some people only hold scabbards in their hands, some hold a shovel in their hands, some hold a broom in their hands, and some even hold a wooden barrel in their hands!
The person next to him couldn't help laughing when he saw the wooden barrel.
...
I have watched martial arts TV series since I was a child, and I saw that it was a very small stick of incense to calculate the time.
