Poor family mother and son

"This Marquis is guarding the gate of the country, and Lao Xu is engaged in economics." This sentence was originally said casually by Chu Qing when he was arguing with Xu Guangze.

But Xiaobao is concerned, he has to guard the house.

Mother's safety is more important than anything else.

Now that my mother has been made a marquis, there are still people who dare to assassinate, what does that mean?Still not strong enough, not ruthless enough.

When a person is strong enough to "break the bridge according to the water" or "Zhang Liao stops crying", is it considered safer?

During the time when Xiaobao wandered around the county government, he encouraged Xu Guangze to establish a new department - Border Town Public Security Joint Defense Office, and hired Wei Chengyi as a consultant, and the patrol inspector was also a part-time joint defense deacon.

He came to study the management of the county government. He had to understand the responsibilities and powers of various departments and positions, and he had to find out the possibility of "skimming the ball".

Inspectorate is a hereditary profession, even though it is only a rank nine, it is the most respected person by squires and businessmen.

All counties in Daxuan have inspection departments, whose main responsibilities are to catch thieves and maintain law and order, similar to township police stations.

But in addition to its main responsibilities, the Inspection Department also plays another important role, that is, the local extension of the national army, and it has to undertake part of the army's duties, such as gathering intelligence and suppressing refugee uprisings.

In other words, although the inspection department belongs to the lower level of the county government, it also has the nature of the army.

Each inspection department has dozens to more than a hundred people under its jurisdiction. These people are not regular officers and soldiers, and they are all recruited from the local area.

The nature of these people recruited by the Inspection Department is a bit like the current militia.

Although the magistrate has the highest power in a county government, and all matters in the county government must be approved by the county, but the inspection can be said to be a parallel position with the county magistrate.

The inspection is not done in the county government, but its power is second only to the county magistrate.

The Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Officials is responsible for the selection of officials. Since there are many inspections and the grades are too low, it is not worthwhile to continuously select talents for this position, so the imperial court made the inspections hereditary.

Most of the inspectors are local tyrants.

The county magistrate has to change places after several years of work, and the inspection will not do it. This has caused the phenomenon of "it is better to offend the county magistrate than to offend the inspection", otherwise it will be retaliated from generation to generation.

Therefore, if local officials like magistrates want to manage the county well and maintain their status in the county, they must have a good relationship with the inspection.

Of course, it doesn't mean that inspections are the best in the world, and the real rich and powerful families still look down on them.

After the destruction of the Eastern Lun Kingdom, in order to quickly stabilize the border, many positions were retained by officials from the old Eastern Lun. Even if there were any changes, they would only be fine-tuned.

Therefore, the inspections in Linyang County have always been officials from the old Donglun, which also guaranteed most of the interests of the local gentry and businessmen.

Xiaobao suggested that Xu Guangming let the patrol inspector work part-time as a joint defense deacon. In fact, it was nothing more than to insert his own manpower, but the patrol inspector could get a sum of money for this.

Xu Guangguang can afford these funds.

The Chu family's cement factory is now officially open for business, and Xu Guangze helps sell it in the name of the county government.

The inspector was already responsible for part of the army's duties, so the "Border City Public Security Joint Defense Station" was dispensable to him. Since he had the money to get it, why not do it.

However, Wei Chengyi, as a "consultant", would come to inspect from time to time, which put a lot of pressure on the inspection, which was not so frequent before.

At the same time, because Linyang County was raided and occupied by the Voss before, and the inspections were also jointly and severally responsible, so this time the addition of the "Joint Defense Station" recruited more than a thousand "Joint Defense Officers" at once, and he did not dare to say anything.

From this moment on, the patrolling of the border was separated, and he could no longer intervene.

He is famous, but he still can't get involved. If something happens, he has to bear the responsibility.

Xu Guangze was so happy that he didn't want to do this operation.

Doesn't this mean overhead inspections, making it easier for him to manage the nobles and big families in the old Eastern Lun?
Not only that, the Chu family began to recruit tenants.

For the tenants in the old East Lun, who rented the land instead of renting?Anyway, I had no land, and the Chu family paid high wages, so they all switched to the Chu family one after another, which also dealt a heavy blow to the local big family.

The border town public security joint defense station was established, and the joint defense personnel were in place. The first thing Xiaobao did was to let the Chu family boy serve as the team leader of each team, and he was equipped with flintlock guns and grenades.

Now, he is working on mortars again.

The blueprint of the heartless cannon has been handed over. If the imperial court also has the heartless cannon, then the advantage of the Chu family will be lost.

It must be a little bit higher than the "hard work" of the court.

Since the detonation of the grenade depends on the pulling ring to pull the spring, so that the bound flint can strike the primer, can a similar fuze be made to turn the grenade into a shell?
Xiaobao's idea is very good, Chu Qing doesn't know it yet, if he knows, he must admire the child's ability to infer other things from one instance.

It just hurts too much for reality.

There is only less than [-]% probability of firing the primer with flint. If the grenade is pulled off the ring and directly thrown out, it is a gamble whether it will explode or not.

Xiao Bao watched Kong Xi throw the iron-like cannonball into the cannon barrel, and then there was nothing else, just smashed into the cannon barrel.

"Ah, this..." Both Xiao Bao and Kang Xi were at a loss for words.

In order to prevent Xiao Bao from being in danger, Kang Xi used his broken body to test the gun himself. Xiao Bao also thought about Kang Xi's safety, and specially used a rope to pull Kang Xi's wheelchair.

Now Xiao Bao pulled Kang Xi back the moment Kang Xi threw the cannonball into the cannon barrel, but the cannon barrel didn't move!

What should we do now?
Xiaobao didn't dare to ask people to check it, what if the chamber exploded?

Waited for a stick of incense, and waited for another stick of incense.

Even though Linyang County isn't very cold in winter and doesn't freeze much, the mountain wind has blown through the cotton-padded jacket this time.

"Cotton armor, cover it when it gets wet!" Xiaobao said, "Go home and eat first!"

Alas, I thought I learned the real skills from my mother, so I made up an improved cannon to make my mother happy. It was a new year's gift, but it failed.

But one thing is successful.

"Self-starting" flares.

Because there were many mice, Chu Qing made spring mouse traps.

Since it was made by his mother, Xiaobao insisted on mass production and turning them into money.

Therefore, the craftsmen made mouse traps in their spare time, and made a large number of them, but none of them were sold.

Smoke, watering mouse holes, oleander or arsenic-made rat poison can kill rats, and they are cheap. Who would want to buy a mousetrap made of iron?Old and expensive.

Even if most of them are wooden boards, there are iron springs on them, and things with iron are expensive.

There was a backlog of these traps.

However, can Xiaobao admit that he has insufficient market analysis?no way!
There are still a lot of smoke bombs made before in the warehouse, and Xiaobao used them in combination.

Pour all the nitrous sugar in the smoke bomb into the bamboo tube to make it look like a firecracker, and connect it with a mousetrap with a thin hemp rope.

The hemp rope is very thin and long, dyed in a dirty camouflage color, it is difficult to be found when it is tied in the woods.

If someone invaded the Chu family's territory and tripped over the hemp rope, the mousetrap would be pulled, and when the mousetrap closed instantly, the pull ring on the fuze of the smoke bomb would be pulled off.

Even if a smoke bomb is not ignited, it doesn't matter, there are many around it, there is always success, who let too many mousetraps.
