Author: Use your soul to aim

On the Yanshou Fort side, since the last time troops could not be dispatched due to heavy snow, those thousands of households have been looking forward to the snow stopping.

It's a pity that the snow is falling too hard. The snow more than a foot thick blocks all illusions. Even if the soldiers are given part of their military pay, the soldiers don't want to go out.

Soldiers are not stupid. Wearing single clothes to fight in the snow is not asking for death. It is not a military order from the imperial court. You generals' personal affairs cannot be exchanged for my life.

It's almost the twelfth lunar month, and the soldiers don't want to go out to fight anymore. No matter what the commander says, they just have to come in the New Year.

Those thousands of households were unwilling to spend their own money to pay the soldiers and waited for the beginning of spring.

And Mr. An's staff were almost desperate. In Poisonous Scorpion's village, they had little food and clothing, and no troops were sent out. Poisonous Scorpion locked him up because he was always urging troops to be sent out.

When Poisonous Scorpion saw that Yanshou Town would not send troops, he did not send troops. His men were all cavalry and could not attack the city, and the heavy snow was not conducive to his escape.

He had made up his mind that when the time came, his goal was to capture the magistrate and run away.

In Changsheng Fort, Zhang Zongxian did not feel the malice of Yanshou Town at all, but still let Yunong's people keep an eye on the poisonous scorpion.

On the third day of the new year, Old Man Liu finally came to Zhang Zongxian with his own blunderbuss under the deadline.

Zhang Zongxian didn't want to talk to him anymore and went straight to the training ground to try out the weapon.

In the test, the ignition rate still failed to meet the requirements. Only four out of ten times were successful, which was too low to meet the requirement of eight out of ten times.

But at least the appearance is exactly the same as Zhang Zongxian requested.

Old Man Liu had been tiptoeing anxiously since he was trying out the gun. When the results finally came out, he saw that Zhang Zongxian was not angry. He breathed a sigh of relief. The Liu family workshop relied entirely on Zhang Zongxian's orders. If Zhang Zongxian went to other places to buy weapons, their Liu family would

The workshop really doesn't know what to do.

"Why doesn't Old Man Liu have a short gun?" Hearing Zhang Zongxian call him, Old Man Liu quickly stepped forward and returned.

"The County Lord's short musket is still being made, please give me some more time."

"No matter how long or short the gun is, it must be made before the end of the year, and the fire must reach 80%. If you can't hit me, you will find someone else."

"Please, the county magistrate, rest assured that the people will do it."

"As long as the good minister passes the inspection, I will directly place an order for 10,000 guns. And how many muskets has Lumi made?"

"Three thousand of the five thousand ordered by the county magistrate last time have been completed."

"Don't make any more Rumi blunderbuss. From now on, we only need this self-generated fire blunderbuss."

After saying that, he went back to the college to teach. Old Man Liu waited for Zhang Zongxian to enter the fort gate before he dared to leave, and hurried back with his men to improve his self-made firecrackers.

When Zhang Zongxian was taking a break in the morning and afternoon of the next day, Li Jiasan reported that Diao Sanyi wanted to see him.

It seems that Diao Sanyi must have heard that the Liu family is about to acquire 10,000 self-made fire guns. Diao Sanyi must not be able to sit still for such a big deal of tens of thousands taels.

Diao Sanyi was arranged to wait in the study, while Zhang Zongxian went to the study to see him after finishing the lecture.

As soon as Zhang Zongxian sat down, Diao Sanyi couldn't wait to say:

"Xiao Min and the masters have reviewed the drawings given to me by the county. As long as I give you time to try out a few doors, I should be able to meet the county's requirements."

"Good, very good. Can we test the cannon before that year?"

Diao Sanyi hesitated for a moment before answering.

"The county's cannon requires a lot of copper and is very expensive. Moreover, the cannon-making process is cumbersome. It will take at least three months to produce a prototype cannon."

It costs a lot? Zhang Zongxian understood the meaning.

"As long as you build this cannon and meet my requirements, I will reward you with a thousand taels. The first batch of cannons will be at least thirty small cannons and twenty large cannons."

"Don't worry, the county magistrate will let the county magistrate test the cannon within three months."

In order to encourage Diao San, Zhang Zongxian also placed an order for 10,000 lances in his workshop. However, the delivery time was extended to half a year. This was also preparation for the large-scale formation of cavalry in the coming year.

In the days that followed, Zhang Zongxian continued to scold his disciples morning and night. Until the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, a disciple choked while eating in the cafeteria. When Zhang Zongxian saw it, he immediately instructed others to use the method he saw on Douyin in his previous life to scold the disciple.

Saved.

Only then did Zhang Zongxian realize that many common sense things in the previous life are life-saving magic weapons in this era.

For example, baby incubators, midwifery forceps, some simple surgeries on the human body, and some first aid knowledge.

There are also ways to defend against epidemics. After all, the capital's defense forces were rendered ineffective by the plague.

These can save the lives of many people, especially for mothers who have given birth and are facing death.

Zhang Zongxian first sorted out the knowledge of past lives, and then invited Miss Su over.

Aunt Su, you have been more serious about studying medical skills since the disaster relief. She is a very smart girl and it is appropriate to teach her this knowledge.

Miss Su came to Zhang Zongxian's study wearing coarse linen clothes, as if she was handling medicinal materials. Although her opinion of Zhang Zongxian had changed a lot after the last disaster relief, she still maintained a cold look.

"I don't know why the county magistrate asked the daughter of the people to come."

"Miss Su, you must have seen that my academy never teaches the Four Books and Five Classics. They are all about things related to people's livelihood and the truth about governance passed down by the sages. Among them are many lost medical skills. Many of them help women give birth.

medical skills."

After hearing this, Miss Su became uneasy because she had seen many sisters who accidentally became pregnant and died due to dystocia.

After studying medicine, I realized that giving birth is really a journey through hell for women.

Miss Su knows that Zhang Zongxian possesses a lot of weird knowledge. She doesn’t know what price she has to pay to obtain these medical skills. Do she want to become his teacher?

But isn’t it against human ethics to worship him as a disciple after having a physical relationship with him?

When Miss Su was still fantasizing about what she had to pay?

Zhang Zongxian directly took out the compiled content and handed it to Miss Su. He also asked:

"These medical skills have been clinically tested and were only lost due to wars and other reasons. Miss Su can use them with confidence. The theories and descriptions of many microorganisms in it are all true. In a few days, the college will build the microscope

Miss Su, you will understand when you see it."

Miss Su opened the book and saw that the first volume was about the treatment of major trauma, how to disinfect it, suture it with catgut, and sterilize it with honey.

Miss Su flipped through a few articles and saw diagrams of the human body structure, including the heart, skeleton, aorta, etc.

Miss Su couldn't believe that she could obtain such important medical skills so easily. She actually asked Zhang Zongxian directly:

"Did the county magistrate give his medical skills to a common woman so easily? Doesn't the famous woman need to pay any price?"

The price is not free but there are requirements.

Sure enough, this magistrate is still greedy for my beauty. If he makes excessive demands, I should not agree to it. I have already taken advantage of his medical skills. If I can't do it, I will treat him like sleeping with a pig for a night.

While Miss Su was still thinking wildly, Zhang Zongxian made the request directly.
