Master Liang, Master He, and Master Qian are three master craftsmen who are directing the work in the camp. They rarely do it themselves now. Now there are many more apprentices in the craftsman camp. Their main task is to teach them to do this work.

But it's much more important than doing it themselves.

The Jianzhou Army has recruited a large number of new soldiers, and there is a serious shortage of weapons and armor. The craftsman camp has endless work to do every day. Fortunately, the food can keep up, so there are not too many complaints. The craftsman battalion has completed standardized assembly line operations, and each production line

They all adopt a responsibility system to ensure that all products delivered are qualified.

"Sir, do you have something important to do here?" When the three master craftsmen saw Sun Yu, they asked their men to work hard. They walked to Sun Yu and said, Sun Yu hasn't been here for a long time.

"Well, there is something I want you to help build. Here is the blueprint. Just follow it." Sun Yu handed over the distillation device in his hand. It is not difficult to build this thing. What is difficult is the principle. If you don't understand,

I can't even think of it even if I try hard enough.

"This is a simple matter, it can be done in two or three days." Master He assured, patting his chest. Just follow the diagram and it will be done. There is nothing difficult to do.

"Well, build three sets and I'll take them back when they're done. How many artillery pieces are there now?" Sun Yu nodded and left this matter to them. He had to go to the artillery battalion to take a look. They were all new recruits.

Haven't seen it yet.

"There are fifteen guns delivered to the artillery battalion now, and three more are being polished. During these days, we have been rushing to make weapons, so there has been a delay." Master Qian replied, things have priorities, and the most important thing at the moment is to complete the weapons first.

Orders, armor and artillery can only be placed in the back row.

Sun Yu is not in a hurry about the artillery, since it won’t be used for the time being. Swords, guns, bows and arrows are the most important, and the recruits are waiting to use them. He also communicated with the three master craftsmen, and must satisfy the Jianzhou Army’s requirements as soon as possible.

In order to meet the demand for weapons and equipment, I took Sun Sandao towards the back, where the artillery battalion practiced firing.

"All of you, stand at attention!"

In the artillery battalion, each team has a veteran as the captain. Anyway, there is not that much ammunition for training, and physical training is carried out in spare time. In Sun Yu's plan, the entire artillery battalion requires one hundred artillery pieces, and five people

Responsible for an artillery piece to ensure the artillery's rate of fire.

Nowadays, basically three or four squads share one artillery, and each squad can only fire once a day. Because there is not much ammunition, it can only be used sparingly.

"Everyone, take a rest and come here first. I have something to say." Sun Yu waved to the captains. It was rare for him to come over. He should always say a few words to these new recruits. In just half a stick of incense, all the soldiers in the artillery battalion were

After gathering, they were waiting for Sun Yu, who was standing on the big rock, to speak.

"Everyone, many of you don't know me yet. Let me introduce myself first. I am Sun Yu, the governor and defense envoy of Jianzhou. I am also the largest official in Jianzhou. You are all under my control. You are very good and have been selected.

If you come here to serve as artillerymen, I guess you are also the first real artillerymen in the world. I believe that one day you will make the enemy tremble under your artillery. Of course, now we do not have enough artillery and ammunition, and we are facing various

Various problems. However, all problems will be solved. All you need to do is practice diligently, etc.

Do you have confidence that you will be good enough when the day comes when I need you?" Sun Yu stood on the big rock and said loudly.

"Yes" the soldiers shouted in unison.

"It's not loud enough. Is it because you don't have enough confidence?"

"Yes" all the soldiers shouted in unison, the sound was loud.

"Okay, everyone is here, stand at attention! I will personally train you today." Since there is nothing to do these two days, Sun Yu decided to personally train these boys to make them remember him. The best way to make them remember themselves is

Squeeze out every ounce of their strength. Although the artillery usually does not need to engage in close combat with the enemy, no one can predict what will happen on the battlefield. In the future, the artillery battalion will still be equipped with waist knives.

...

"Disband!" Today's training didn't end until the last ray of the sun disappeared. The soldiers who heard the order were finally relieved and walked towards the pool together. Although it was a cold day, they also sweated a lot, so

Just wash your face first.

"What's the matter? We used to be said to be unkind, but today we got a taste of rigorous training." A squad leader said with a smile. They had been here like this before, and it was a feeling they would never forget.

"Captain, this is too tiring." The soldiers washed their faces, sat on the shore, and kept slapping their legs, otherwise they might not be able to walk steadily tomorrow morning.

"You have to endure hardships to become a master. Didn't you train with us? Why are you okay? Let's go and eat." The captain stood up and patted his butt. He was going to go to the battlefield in the future. It's okay to endure some hardships now.

benefit.

"I don't know what adults eat every day. Do they use golden bowls?"

"I guess adults should only eat meat and drink alcohol, not meals."

"Adults eat at least three kilograms of meat a day."

...

As they walked, a group of new recruits said that eating more meat will make you stronger. If you are so powerful, you will definitely not eat rice.

"Stop talking nonsense, your daily diet is very simple. You will see it in a moment." The captain lectured with all his face. Whenever you are in the military camp, you eat and live with the soldiers. You never make special exceptions. He also sits on your desk.

I ate it before.

"Then what does this mean? I heard that the county magistrate's family is full of servants, and he eats delicacies from the mountains and seas every day." A soldier muttered. He is such a big official, but he eats and drinks like us every day.

What are you trying to figure out? He didn't believe it.

"You know what the heck, if all the officials in the world were like us adults, you wouldn't have had enough to eat before. You just know how to enjoy yourself, but you can't do something for the people?" The captain was too lazy to pay attention to him. Sun Yu

I didn't see him once or twice while eating. As long as you are brave, you can sit across from him with a bowl and it will be fine.

The artillery's food, like that of the craftsman camp, is prepared by the craftsmen's families every day. Compared with the soldiers outside, the biggest difference is that they have fish soup to drink and occasionally some fish. Since the last time Sun Yu was here

After fishing, the craftsmen later got fishing nets, and family members fished here every day. They could catch some fish every day, but there were too many people, and there was usually not enough to eat.

The captain took his recruits to the eating place and saw Sun Yu already carrying a big bowl of rice.

He was sitting on the stone, and many soldiers had gathered around him. They were eating and chatting. The recruits poked their heads to take a look, and saw that it was really the same.

"Sir, when will we go to war?" asked a soldier surrounding Sun Yu. This was what they were most concerned about.

"Tomorrow." Sun Yu said while taking a mouthful of rice.

"What? I'm not ready yet." The soldier was stunned after hearing this. He hadn't even grabbed a knife.

"It is not that the war will start tomorrow, but you must remember that the war will come at any time. Be prepared at all times. The enemy will not give you time to prepare. As a qualified soldier, you must be prepared for the war to start tomorrow or even the next moment.

Be prepared, this way, your probability of survival will be greater." Sun Yu looked at the young faces around him. They still didn't know the cruelty of war. Even the veterans from Jiangning had not seen it. Compared with the real

The war before was a small one, and the casualty rate was not high. Only those who have witnessed thousands of casualties and survived can be considered elites who have truly experienced the test of blood and fire.

The surrounding soldiers nodded silently, and then immersed themselves in eating. Yes, who knows when the war will start, just be prepared.

Five days later, all three sets of distillation equipment were completed. Sun Yu specially filled the water and tested it. It did not leak. It was produced by the master, but it was different. He asked Sun Sandao to catch the carriage, install all the equipment, and then go back out of the valley. Every time he passed by

At each level, Sun Yu called the guards to emphasize the importance of this place. Their responsibilities were greater than those of the soldiers training for combat outside. Once something went wrong here, all his plans would be ruined.

The Grand Canyon is very close to Jianpu City and can be reached in two or three hours. The brewery is still under construction. Sun Yu asked Sun Sandao to drive the carriage directly to the entrance of Jianzhou Trading Company. The equipment was first stored in the warehouse behind the trading bank.

Sun Sandao was such a thief, and when he met Ju Yao, he treated him like a wife. Ju Yao was so happy that she insisted on letting him have lunch at the merchant house. With Sun Sandao's virtue, he agreed without hesitation, without caring about the look of disgust on his face.

Sun Yu.

"Sandao, go ahead and buy a few jars of wine first." Sun Yu said angrily. The equipment has been shipped and we have to try it first. Sun Yu doesn't usually drink, so naturally there is no reserve in this business.

"Okay!" Sun Sandao was overjoyed when he heard this. Not only would he have food to eat, but he would also have wine to drink. It's good to have a sweet mouth.

Juyao asked the maid to get some silver for Sun Sandao. Wine was not cheap, and he couldn't let others pay for it. Sandao was not polite. The little money he had was deposited in the bank, and the food and drink expenses were all from the military camp, and he didn't have much left on him.

Broken silver.

"Lang Jun, what is this used for?" Juyao looked at Sun Yu playing with the equipment and couldn't help but ask, can this thing still make wine?

"It is a device that increases the intensity of wine. After its purification, the wine will be as clear as water and burn like fire in the mouth. It should have good sales." Sun Yu set up the equipment and put some charcoal underneath. After a while, the wine came and placed it.

Just go in and light the fire. The difficulty is to control the strength of the fire so that the temperature in the device exceeds the boiling point of alcohol, but does not reach the boiling point of water.
