Chapter 505: Craftsman's Camp (2)

Seeing Qiu Tie coming up, Lin Ze almost laughed on his face, because the official robe on Qiu Tie's body was no longer clear in color, and even on his face, some black ash was faintly visible, and the few craftsmen behind him were almost the same as his current appearance.

It can be seen that although Qiu Tie and they have become officials of the craftsman battalion, their own responsibilities as craftsmen have not been let go.

Seeing this, Lin Ze was relieved in his heart!

When he learned that Lin Ze was going to inspect the craftsman camp, Qiu Tie's heart was really a little apprehensive, because, a few days ago, he sent the made horseshoe and other equipment to the barracks, and today Lin Ze came, so Qiu Tie couldn't help but wonder in his heart, is there something wrong with the chariot, it didn't meet the requirements of the chief soldier?

If Qiu Tie was still working as a craftsman in the barracks in Qingzhou before, he would not have been so worried in his heart, anyway, at that time, Qiu Tie's food and clothing were a problem, and at most he lost his job in the barracks, but with Qiu Tie's ability, he could easily find a job.

Not anymore, though.

Lin Ze's treatment to Qiu Tie was really too high, not only allocating nearly two hundred acres of land to his family. (Qiu Tie's craftsman level is very high, he alone has been allocated nearly 150 acres of land, plus several of his family members, so a total of 215 acres of land has been obtained.) )

Moreover, Qiu Tie also became the steward of the craftsman's camp, and also had an eight-grade official position, and the monthly salary was ten gold coins more, such a high treatment, Qiu Tie had never dreamed of it in his dreams before.

Therefore, Qiu Tie is extremely satisfied with his current state and doesn't want to lose his current job because of this, so he will suffer such gains and losses in his heart.

"I've seen the chief soldier, my lords!" Seeing Lin Ze and them coming to the door, Qiu Tie rushed over like flying, and then knelt down and kowtowed.

Lin Ze, who was riding on top of Bai Yue, hurriedly stretched out his right hand, and a stream of true qi directly cushioned under Qiu Tie's knees, directly pulling him up, and then said with a smile: "Qiu Tie, you don't need to be so polite, the craftsman camp you manage has pointed out extremely sophisticated weapons to the army, I should thank you." ”

"Ah........h

"It's okay, my lord didn't come here to blame me, it's okay!" Qiu Tie's heart finally relaxed.

Qiu Tie, who was determined in his heart, said with a smile: "My lord, you are my superior, I should kneel to you!"

"Hehe, Qiu Tie, don't say more, let's go in and have a look!" Lin Ze said with a smile.

He knew that if he wanted to change the mentality of Qiu Tie and these people now, it would not work at all, in the hearts of Qiu Tie and these people, it was a matter of course to bow down to their superiors, if you didn't let them kneel down to worship themselves, they would feel uncomfortable in their hearts, and other people would also think in their hearts, is this person too rude.

Therefore, Lin Ze didn't say anything more.

The habit of bowing, even in modern society, is more, in order to get a job, many people kneel down and beg for help.

"Yes, my lord, I'll lead the way!" Qiu Tie quickly got up, and then led Lin Ze and his party into the craftsman camp, and then introduced everything in the craftsman camp.

Qiu Tie took Lin Ze and them to inspect the craftsman camp, and in the middle, he asked Lin Ze with some anxiety in his heart: "My lord, did you come to inspect the craftsman camp today because there was a problem with the weapons sent by the last batch?"

Lin Ze shook his head with a smile and said: "Qiu Tie, don't worry, there is no problem with the weapons last time, and besides, you have made them very well, of course, there is no improvement in the middle, but you can slowly explore these things when refining weapons in the future, don't worry now!" For example, you can try to replace some wooden things with iron in some logistics vehicles, and install bearings on the axles, so that not only will the logistics vehicles be stronger, but also the vehicles will be more labor-saving, faster, and the axles will be more wear-resistant, and you can try to unify the manufacturing of some weapons and logistics vehicles into one specification, so that once these things are damaged, they can be repaired in the shortest possible time....... Wait, wait, wait!"

"Yes, my lord, I understand the humble position, and the humble duty will immediately start the relevant research!" Qiu Tie replied respectfully, and he admired Lin Ze even more in his heart.

Lin Ze's suggestions, Qiu Tie knew as soon as he heard it, this is extremely conducive to the future army operations, and such a plan is not very difficult to achieve, as long as you use dim sum, you can make it.

However, Qiu Tie had never thought of such a simple plan before, so for Lin Ze, he really admired it in his heart!

"Qiu Tie, I hope you will take the lead in learning more knowledge in the future, so that you can improve your ability even more, and if you want to be promoted in the future, you must first know how to read, otherwise, you will only be able to go so far in the future. Lin Ze made a suggestion.

Qiu Tie's craftsmen are extremely capable, but there is one thing that is not good, that is, nine out of ten of Qiu Tie's craftsmen are illiterate, and even if they are literate, there are not many of them.

They are now able to have such a strong ability to make weapons, relying on their ability to continuously train their hands from childhood to adulthood.

It stands to reason that Qiu Tie has already been practiced, and it doesn't seem to matter if they need to read or not, but in fact it is not like this.

Lin Ze also wants Qiu Tie and them to continue to bring out batches of highly powerful craftsmen, which requires Qiu Tie to know how to read, only when they know how to read, Qiu Tie and they can pass on their experience.

What's more, as a craftsman, it is necessary to look at pictures, which requires craftsmen to recognize words, so even if Qiu Tie and many of them are now in their thirties and forties, Lin Ze still requires them to learn to read and write.

"This .........!" Qiu Tie hesitated a little, he was already forty-three years old, and it was really difficult to read and write now.

"What's the matter, literacy is as difficult as your life as a homeless person before?" Lin Ze said with a smile: "And, Qiu Tie, you don't want to be a good example for your future children and grandchildren." Once they don't study well, you can just say, even your grandfather is so old and still studying, don't you feel ashamed if you don't study? Qiu Tie, don't you say?"

Lin Ze was not ready to forcibly ask Qiu Tie and them to read and write, after all, the twisted melon was not sweet, so he directly used their descendants to talk about things.

No one doesn't want to be a good example for their offspring, so Lin Ze believes that using Qiu Tie and their offspring to inspire them is definitely a matter of getting twice the result with half the effort.

"My lord, I must know how to read and write, and I will never embarrass you!" Qiu Tie said categorically, his eyes full of determination.

Seeing this, Lin Ze laughed in his heart.

"Sure enough, it's best to motivate with offspring, hehe.......!"

"Let's go, take us to see your craftsman camp!" Seeing that his motivation had already worked, Lin Ze said with a smile.

Now that he has aroused Qiu Tiexin's passion for literacy, there is no need to do anything more.

"Yes, my lord, lead the way!" Qiu Tie said immediately.

"You should call yourself a subordinate!" Li Qing corrected.

Soon, Lin Ze and his party came to a craftsman's room.

As soon as they came to the outside of this craftsman's room, Lin Ze and the others felt a burst of heat.

At this time, Qiu Tie began to introduce.

"It's hot, this is the ironmaking section of the craftsman's camp, which is specially used to improve the quality of pig iron. My lord, we didn't have an iron mine before, so if we wanted to refine weapons, we could only buy some pig iron to refine them, but the quality of these pig irons was uneven, and we had to return to the furnace to retrain before we could use them to make weapons, otherwise weapons would be easily damaged. ”

Qiu Tie introduced to everyone as he walked, Tie Ying, who was beside Lin Ze, and Lin Hu, they knew the importance of weapons on the battlefield for soldiers, it can be said that on the battlefield, the weapons in the hands of soldiers are simply the second life of soldiers, so it can be seen the importance of weapons to soldiers.

No one wants to be in a fight, someone else's side slashed at the knife, and their own side slashed with a knife, and there was a 'bell ......', but their own knife was easily broken, isn't that waiting to be slaughtered?!

Therefore, now when Tie Ying and Lin Hu listened to Qiu Tie's introduction, they were all wide-eyed and refused to let go of any detail in this, because they needed to be responsible for their subordinates, so Tie Ying and Lin Hu wanted to pick out a few problems in their hearts, so that these craftsmen could be more attentive when building weapons, and it was best to create sharper and more durable guys, so that the second life of their soldiers would be more guaranteed, and they could also get more victories.

It's a pity that Tie Ying and Lin Hu are all laymen, let them use knives to cut people, but let them refine weapons, hehe...... Dream on!

"Oh, that's the case, what about the quality of the iron you re-smelted?" Lin Ze asked as he looked carefully at the molten iron that was tumbling in the furnace.

Compared with Tie Ying and Lin Hu, who have eight tricks and seven tricks for ironmaking, and the rest don't know anything, Lin Ze still understands some in ironmaking.

"My lord, it depends on the quality of the pig iron we buy. Qiu Tie said cautiously on the side, he knew very well that Lin Ze knew how to make iron, so he didn't dare to hide anything.

"My lord, the quality of the weapons we make now cannot be compared with the craftsman battalion in Heavenly Trench City, whether it is the sharpness of the weapons or the durability, they are all one or several grades worse. Qiu Tie said with a hint of shame on his face, very worried in his heart.........
