Behind me is the earth

Anyway, I have to be quarantined for an hour now when I go back. Sledgehammer will take a detour to the farm in the south of the city to take a look.

Ren Pingsheng shouted towards Sledgehammer who was driving the car outside.

As Chen Dachui flicked his whip, the horse started running smoothly.

The road around Qingcheng Town is fairly smooth and not so bumpy when running.

When the carriage approached the farm, Ren Pingsheng saw a group of people patrolling the road outside.

However, these patrol members all knew Chen Dachui, so no one blocked the carriage.

When he arrived at the door, Ren Pingsheng saw that the camp not far away had been demolished.

I looked up and saw that there was a wooden lookout tower set up on the city wall, and there were people standing guard.

Master!

Liu Qiang was leading people to practice jogging at the door. When he saw his employer's carriage approaching, he asked the escort to run by themselves and greeted it himself.

The lads look in good spirits.

Ren Pingsheng jumped out of the car and looked at the team running away shouting slogans and said.

We sent 20 people to follow the caravan out, and there are still 20 people left, and we have added 10 new people. It is better to lead the new team with the old people.

The old men in the team have been training for two months, and now they can fight even if they are pulled out.

Looking at the soldiers he brought out, Liu Qiang was also very high-spirited.

Practice hard, sweat more in peacetime and cry less in wartime.

Ren Pingsheng said.

Um.

Liu Qiang responded, but silently remembered what his boss said in his heart, thinking about conveying this sentence to the team during the next training.

These soldiers are not very old. They don't just need to practice. They should also learn to read in their free time. They don't need to be talented, as long as they can read.

Ren Pingsheng instructed.

My boss, since I received your advice some time ago, I have taught them a few words after lunch every day. Now these children can now write their own names.

My expectations for them are not just simple guards, but at least the grassroots force in the team in the future.

Liu Qiang said.

Ren Pingsheng knew that his behavior of hoarding armor seemed to have planted a seed in Liu Qiang's heart.

This can be seen from the degree of care he puts into training these teenagers.

However, Ren Pingsheng did not say anything in explanation.

There are some words that don’t need to be said, because no one knows which direction the final situation will develop, and many things are not dependent on human will.

Ren Pingsheng entered the farm and, accompanied by Liu Qiang and Hu Laosan, walked around the farm.

The farm was completely different from the last time he came.

The farmhouses have been built, the houses and courtyards in the workshop area have been built, and even the original adobe walls of the inner city have been repaired.

Some buildings in the inner city were demolished, several large courtyards were built, and a martial arts arena was built. The tenants no longer live here.

Let's go and see Liu Wen.

Ren Pingsheng said to Liu Qiang, and then he looked at Hu Laosan and said: You go ahead and find some people who know how to raise pigs. In a few days, I will send someone to send some piglets to raise in the village.

Okay, I'll leave now.

Hu Laosan is still cautious when facing Ren Pingsheng.

This is the wisdom of survival for these little people whose fate is in the hands of others.

Boss! Captain!

The workshop is located in a large courtyard in the inner city.

The two people standing guard at the door saw Ren Pingsheng and Liu Qiang coming over, and opened the door for them while greeting them.

Along the way, although Ren Pingsheng was a layman, he felt that Liu Qiang's deployment of troops was good.

At least he didn't find anything wrong.

I thought to myself that when I go back, I can look for some military books and continue to cultivate Liu Qiang's ability to lead troops, especially when I saw the Militia Training Manual recommended by an expert on the forum.

It contains almost all the essentials of combat, such as tactical movements, marching and fighting, setting up camp, cooking with pots, shooting with rifles, etc. If Liu Wen can develop guns here, he can also extract some content from them and give them to him. Liu Qiang studied military training.

Bang!

When Ren Pingsheng walked in, he saw a man holding a simple gun and shooting into the sand at the base of the wall.

Smoke was coming from the muzzle, and sand was flying everywhere.

What are you doing!

Liu Qiang was startled when he heard the sound, and subconsciously blocked in front of Ren Pingsheng. After reacting, he yelled at the shooter.

Liu, Manager Liu is testing gunpowder.

The man was also startled by Liu Qiang's scolding and stammered to tell the truth.

Liu Wen, who was in the house, heard the noise and came out quickly. When he saw Ren Pingsheng, he quickly came over and said, Master, you are here!

Well, has the black powder been prepared?

Ren Pingsheng also saw the effect of the shot just now. Although he was shocked, he was still happy at this time.

At least, in such a short period of time, the gun-making workshop has already seen results.

Well, the black powder has been prepared, and the ratio and power are being tested.

After continuous learning, words from another world began to come out of Liu Wen's mouth.

Is this a flintlock gun?

Ren Pingsheng glanced at the carpenter standing aside, stretched out his hand, took the gun in his hand and looked at it.

Yes, this gun was made by us during this period. New firearms are also being developed at the same time. For the first project, I plan to make a shotgun first.

This structure is relatively simple, powerful enough, easy for soldiers to master, and the bullets are relatively easy to make.

Liu Wen let Ren Pingsheng and Liu Qiang into the room.

Ren Pingsheng saw seven or eight large tables in the room. Each table was equipped with some parts and woodworking tools such as planes, chisels, rulers, set squares, and drills.

Just now in the yard, I saw a blacksmith stove with some iron parts and tools placed on the stove.

Looking up, I saw a large piece of paper hanging on the wall, with the mechanical structure of the shotgun and the size of each accessory drawn on it.

Everyone has his own division of labor and is responsible for the structure of his own parts. Now many accessories have been conquered.

I think it won't be long before the first shotgun is built.

Liu Wen said excitedly.

After listening to what Liu Wen said, Ren Pingsheng was also very excited: If you are missing anything, just tell me.

“There are seamless steel pipes, but now we are lacking some stronger springs, and most of the rest can be made by hand.

After a while I will write down the missing items and their sizes.

Liu Wen said happily when he saw that his boss would solve the problem as soon as he arrived.

When the shotgun is formed, report it to me as soon as possible. Then each of you will be rewarded.

When Ren Pingsheng said something encouraging, the carpenters' eyes lit up.

Not only because of the reward Ren Pingsheng said, but also because of his attitude as a carpenter to be valued by his employer.
