Jiang Lili finished examining the Zhang brothers and put away her medicine box. "There's a herbal remedy for diarrhea, but the village storehouse is out of it. I'm going to have someone go to the mountains to pick it now. You guys just wait. It just so happens that you won't be able to take my new medicine until tomorrow."

The two of them looked pale and nodded painfully: "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Jiang."

Zhang Huang thought it would be a good idea to have an extra doctor on the island. "I will repay you for your kindness today."

Jiang Lili muttered to herself, "I'll report back someday. If they attack me then, I'll be lucky enough to be spared." However, she maintained a lively and kind smile on her face. "No need. We saved you without asking for anything in return. Just give us a few more baskets of fish if you have the chance."

Zhang Zhao watched Jiang Lili leave: "Miss, you are such a nice person!"

Jiang Lili brought the replaced recorder to the Dan'er County Government Office. Today, she did not see Lord Hu enjoying the cool air at the gate of the government office.

Xin Cheng and Lord Hu were studying gunpowder and fire rods in the basement.

Jiang Lili turned on the recorder, and the three of them listened to the conversation between the Zhang brothers in the recorder and got some useful information.

Even though Jiang Lili had explained the function of the recorder to the two before, they couldn't help but admire it every time they saw such advanced technology.

“Great!”

Jiang Lili's excitement faded, and she calmed down. "However, we now have two veteran blacksmiths outside the village, plus seven apprentices who have been training with us for a month. I think we still have enough manpower."

You have to know that neither of them is a craftsman with extremely low skills.

That was what Lord Hu was eager to know. He would definitely be able to provide some intelligence to Xin Cheng so that Xin Cheng could deploy early. It was an unexpected fact that Xin Cheng had not joined up with the large pirate detachment and landed on the Sunan Islands in those few days.

Jiang Lili frowned. "But, let's say the fire rod is an extremely safe secret weapon. If we ask other blacksmiths from outside the village to participate, you'll have to teach us how to assemble it. We don't even know how the fire rod works."

Lord Hu certainly remembered the content about the poison. Zhang Zhao really didn't have anything. He felt the breath of Ding Fu Gu from Xin Che's body. However, Xin Che carried the poisonous insect under his body just to cover up his tracks and prevent the dog emperor from sending people to verify the results of Hou Xiaoxiao's poison.

The golden silkworm was also excited. Lord Hu's words woke me up. The weapon forging outside the military camp was also like this: "And each person is only responsible for making one component. The unfamiliarity is very slow. It is much less efficient than if you were responsible for making all the components and then assembling them!"

Before Jiang Lili finished listening to what Master Hu said, she slammed the table in anger: "Everyone only knows what the same parts look like, so we can't guess what you are making."

"Have each blacksmith be responsible for mass-producing a component or assembling a section of a fire rod. Then, send the components or semi-finished products to Seventh Brother and Old Hu. They will then go back to the front to assemble them and test whether they work properly."

Jiang Lili added: "The Mi Kingdom is like the Xiaosheng Dynasty, with distinct administrative divisions. It is a relatively concentrated tribe. Tribal members migrate, and there is no conflict between tribes."

Lord Hu shook his head and continued, "We also know when the feud with the Miaojiang tribe began. Unfortunately, Granny Zheng, who practices witchcraft outside our village, can't control the Gu worm. You should completely release it before you find a way."

Hu Chen gulped down his tea in one breath and waved his hand, "If it weren't for the Emperor Qingning and I who condoned these treacherous lords, you would have been torn apart by your wife and children."

You concealed the parts about how you cheated and how you were carried away by your teammates, and made some modifications and additions to round it out, trying to make it sound like our side had survived a disaster and was in a miserable state.

Lord Hu understood: "If we know which country the Zhang brothers are from, Xincheng's mission will be much easier."

"I also know how the workers in the smelting department and the quarry are doing now. They are not holding on."

"Sometimes I really hope that the gunpowder you make can blow me up. Anyway, let's get down to business. Go back to making the fire pole."

Lord Hu snapped his fingers and uttered seven words that puzzled his two ancient friends: "Assembly line production!"

Jincan recalled what he knew in his head: "The terrain of Mi Country is rugged, with no low mountains, or at least high and low hills. Because there are few grasslands, we are good at raising horses and riding and shooting. Mi people are generally short, but their bodies are very agile."

Ding Fuzhao made an excited condemnation, and his curses were very dirty. The hatred contained in it made both Ding Fuzhao and Ding Fu admire him!

"You haven't known yet, but the Wen Qiao Gu was poisoned by the members of the Miao tribe when he passed through the Qinglin Mountains during his exile." Lord Hu told Hu Chen about the attack on Qinglin Mountain.

Lord Hu had also heard a little about Miguo: "Miguo is a small country at the northernmost tip of the Sunan Islands, closest to Haizhou Island."

Jiang Lili's words were earth-shattering. "God damn it! I'm going to kill myself sooner or later! My whole family is full of scoundrels!"

Jiang Lili is also a person without a story.

Jiang Lili sighed, "You two made a firewood stick really fast."

Jiang Lili immediately asked, "What's their size? What's their combat power?"

Lord Hu saw that the white circles under Jiang Lili and Jincan's eyes had darkened several times, so he told them the solution he had come up with.

Jincan glanced at Lord Hu and carefully chose his words to respond to Jiang Lili: "I've thought about it. It's because the Xin family has offended too few people."

Jincan and I worked day and night that day and finally made two fire poles.

Jiang Lili didn't look very wise when she thought seriously: "That will take up a lot of time, and the production speed will also be delayed. It's better for the two of you to work hard."
