Ning Changrong rubbed his nose, looked at the officials who were acting like birds and beasts, and wondered if he was so scary?Why do you call him like he saw a ghost?
This morning he was busy drinking tea and learning about Chang Yuan's power.

He glanced at those ledgers and then threw them aside. Anyway, he was not in a hurry. Many of those ledgers were from the past, and he would not be in a hurry if he needed to.Not to mention putting it all in his hands alone.

In addition to these account books in his room, some other documents were moved one after another.

He mainly read those documents to get a general understanding of the situation in the army.

If Chang Yuan's current subordinates include Beibei, there will be about 20.

It looks like a lot, but those cities that have been taken down also need soldiers to guard them, otherwise they will be fought for nothing, so the ones that can really be used are only [-].

Food and other necessary materials should be barely able to make up for it at present. Just wait for the spring to sow after winter, and they can raise a lot of soldiers and horses.

Chang Yuan's subordinates are mainly generals capable of fighting, who were formerly loyal to Nan Chen and took refuge here, and some he recruited from the people.

The old generals from Nanchen who took refuge here were mainly stationed in the two prefectures in the north to help Chang Yuan guard his hometown. Wang Hanting, Ma Honglin and others who followed him were all recruited from the people and climbed up to today's ordinary farmers step by step. .

Seeing that it was noon, Ning Changrong went out and walked around twice before returning to the public house. They didn't have a lunch break, and someone would bring the lunch.

Ning Changrong is a counselor anyway, and he can be regarded as the chief of these ordinary officials, so the food is better than that of the outside officials. Those people only have two vegetarian dishes, which look bland. Where is the delicious food?

Ning Changrong was eating a tasteless lunch here, while Ning Qingxi was happily eating braised rabbit meat at home.

"Grandma, it's delicious! Have you eaten it yet?" Ning Qingxi asked while eating.

Wang Xiujuan originally wanted to separate the kitchens of the two families so that it would be convenient to do something, but when she thought about what Ning Lao Er and Ning Lao San had in their house, they didn't know?
In that case, don't bother, just eat together, she doesn't have to do it.

It was really that banquet that hurt her.

Don't want to touch the kitchen for months.

She is responsible for carrying the food over there.

Wang Xiujuan watched her granddaughter eat with a smile, "We all ate it when you got off work. This is specially reserved for you. I made it specially for your second aunt. Otherwise, she must be reluctant to add seasoning with her picky and sour nature." ingredients, and make good meat tasteless."

"How do you feel today? What did you do?" Wang Xiujuan asked curiously.

Ning Qingxi went to the workshop, which was mainly used to make military equipment and agricultural tools. It was a little farther away, and it was in two directions from Ning Changrong's office.

Ning Qingxi nodded while eating, "It's okay, everyone takes good care of me. The boss over there is Master Lu Cui, a master craftsman. I have dealt with him before."

"Actually, I didn't do anything all morning. I just visited those places in the workshop, mainly to see what they are doing now."

"I'm going to start finishing all the blueprints we gave to General Chang in the afternoon."

Wang Xiujuan was relieved to hear that her granddaughter was not at a disadvantage. Her granddaughter was also a student who only knew how to study in modern times. She didn't expect to start working in this ancient time.

Other things are fine, but I am afraid that my granddaughter will be bullied when she is young.

Ning Qingxi saw Wang Xiujuan's worry, and comforted her, "Don't worry, baby, I'm just a child, how can they have the face to bully me? Besides, Master Lu is helping me, baby, you don't even know that those craftsmen have What a pity, I will be fine if I don’t bully them. Some of them have been craftsmen for generations, not only do they have no money and salary, they are also not allowed to quit, and their children and grandchildren have to be craftsmen.”

"Great craftsmen like Master Lu are alright, but other low-level craftsmen are really miserable. When I came here, I took a look at their food. I guess I can't get enough of the hot water. In this way, they still have to do the hardest and most tiring heavy work."

"You say that's it, how dare you bully me?"

Wang Xiujuan frowned, "This craftsman's status is so low, then you..." She looked at Ning Qingxi worriedly.

Ning Qingxi didn't care, "I'm different from them."

Wang Xiujuan thought the same, her granddaughter may have done it, and has an encyclopedia. As long as the industrial base can keep up, what can't be researched?No matter what, I will not be reduced to the level of those craftsmen.

Ning Qingxi returned to her room after eating, and went to work as soon as the lunch break came.

Ning Qingxi had just arrived, and Master Lu couldn't wait to pull her to start working.

Master Lu communicated with Ning Qingxi all morning, and found that the other party's thinking was very out of the ordinary. Many incredible things seemed to be effective when spoken out of the other party's mouth. No wonder so many incredible things were researched.

The respect for Ning Qingxi increased greatly in my heart.

"Miss Ning, let's start? The general ordered to develop gunpowder first."

"Gunpowder doesn't need to be developed, just make it directly according to the ratio I gave. Of course, if someone can continue to improve the formula, that would be even better. However, the process of making gunpowder is very dangerous. Master Lu, you must explain it clearly to those craftsmen."

"And when making gunpowder, remember to keep open flames away! Otherwise, there will be a violent explosion, and it will not be worth the loss if it hurts innocent people."

"It's best to do it during the day, and don't light a lamp to do it at night." Ning Qingxi worried that these people would rush to work artificially, so he lit a lamp to make explosives at night, and said in a very serious tone.

Lu Cui felt the solemnity of Ning Qingxi's words, "Don't worry, Miss Ning, I will definitely give orders."

Then he showed embarrassment again, "It's just that if we can't continue to do it at night, then we may not be able to reach the quantity required by the general."

Ning Qingxi asked: "How many explosives does the general want us to make?"

"Ten thousand bales in two months."

Ning Qingxi was surprised. If she remembered correctly, she had seen the workshop in the morning and remembered the approximate number of people. There were only 200 people in the whole workshop, not to mention that not all craftsmen could devote themselves to making explosive kits. Other weapons, armor and agricultural tools also need people, so how many people are left who can make explosive kits?
She asked, "How many people can be spared to do it?"

Lu Cui had a bitter face, "At most 50 people can be drawn. At most 60 people, no more."

Ning Qingxi fell into silence, two months, 1 packages, how could it be possible with just five or sixty people?

Explosives do not say that the direct mixing needs to be careful, that is to say, the explosives have to be submerged before they become powder, and there are step-by-step procedures that cannot be done in a short time.

It's over, isn't this picking up a spreading potato?

Ning Qingxi originally wanted to ask if she could recruit people from the outside, but she opened her mouth and swallowed the words. Needless to say, she knew that she definitely couldn't recruit people from the outside.
