Chapter 144: Blast Furnace

The matter of special training has only started now, Fu Xiaoguan didn't worry too much, let Bai Yulian toss those guys first.

Next, he began to design a soap workshop and a paper workshop, which were relatively simple, and after drawing them in two hours, he told Chunxiu to call Zhang Ce.

"This thing is made of soap and soap, the raw materials are simple, you look at it, and then you can find a trustworthy person to manage these two workshops. As for this paper-making technique, I have written it down in detail, and there are many differences from other methods at present, so you have to find some masters and follow my method. You can take a look first, find someone first, then buy raw materials, and then try to make it and show me. ”

Zhang Ce took it and saw that this soap was actually made of lard, grass ash and spice alcohol...... These materials are simple, but the steps of this production are quite cumbersome, but the young master writes very carefully, and if you follow the operation step by step, there will be no baskets.

Then he looked at the method of making paper, and sure enough, the young master actually used wood - this wood can make paper? Now the material for papermaking is hemp, the cost is very high, and the average person cannot afford to use it.

Well, the method written by the young master is also extremely detailed, and I haven't seen the young master study these things, how did he know these methods?

Zhang Ce was puzzled, and then retired to deal with these two things.

Fu Xiaoguan walked out of the courtyard and went to the Xishan Research Institute.

The ** laboratory that Li Yi is in charge of is in the outermost room on the first floor - the first thing Li Yi thought about when he chose a place was that this place could run out as quickly as possible.

It makes sense, and Fu Xiaoguan also feels that this job is really a bit dangerous.

When Fu Xiaoguan walked into the fire and medicine laboratory, Li Yi was arguing with several masters about the ratio of this thing.

He listened and left the fire and medicine laboratory without interruption, and went to the firearms laboratory, which was also located on the first floor.

Qin Chengye was gathering around with twenty masters to study the information on the flintlock pistol provided by Fu Xiaoguan, and Fu Xiaoguan listened to it again, and there was no problem with their research direction, so he left the Xishan Research Institute and returned to the Xishan Courtyard.

The equipment and materials needed for the firearms laboratory have not yet been put in place, and at the moment they are still in the discussion and understanding of the flintlock pistol.

He suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have anything to do now, so he sat in the courtyard and meditated and continued to cultivate the Jiuyang Heart Sutra.

Su Xiu turned around and looked at Fu Xiaoguan twice, the embroidery needle in her hand was about to move, she wanted to prick Fu Xiaoguan a few stitches, but the voice of the senior brother came from her ears: "Don't pull out the seedlings!" ”

Su Xiu pouted, thinking to herself that kid was too busy, and he had too little time for cultivation, and if he wanted to practice internal strength, he didn't know that he would have to do it until the Year of the Monkey.

As for whether the Dao heart is stable...... Where did that kid come from!

If the second senior brother is here, he will definitely agree to let me prick him a few times.

Fu Xiaoguan didn't know that if it wasn't for Su Jue to stop him, he would be able to fly tonight, at this moment his soul was too empty, and according to the meridian route described in the Jiuyang Heart Sutra, he was wandering around with his mind, looking for the elusive so-called internal force.

In the afternoon, Fu Xiaoguan wrote a letter to Dong Shulan and practiced swords in the courtyard, and Feng Si walked in under the leadership of Zhang Ce, which made Fu Xiaoguan very happy.

"Come on, sit down." Fu Xiaoguan put Su Mo's sword on the table and ordered Chunxiu to make three cups of tea.

"Hello young master!" Feng Si clenched his fists, and Fu Xiaoguan smiled, "Don't give me these polite things, sit down." ”

"This ......" Feng Laosi thought about it and sat down, Zhang Ce was about to leave, and Fu Xiaoguan left him behind.

"How is Feng Linshan now?" Fu Xiaoguan asked.

"The road is estimated to be open next month, and the villain in the Broken Soul Mountain has already arranged for people to start mining...... "Feng Laosifu turned around and said mysteriously: "Young master, the villain will tell you, that mine is huge!" Master Xia said that this mineral deposit alone may be able to be mined for hundreds of years! ”

Fu Xiaoguan was overjoyed, and Liu Zhizhou gave him a big gift.

"Who is this Master Xia?"

"The old blacksmith who was dug up by the villain from the Yao County Foundry Bureau has a pair of fiery eyes for prospecting, and it is because of him that we can accurately find the location of the ore vein."

"You've done a great job, and we'll be rewarded together at the end of the year! Steward Zhang will write this down, I'm afraid that I will forget too many things. I've asked you to come back this time to discuss another thing with you, I heard that you're starting to build an iron furnace? ”

"Yes, the valley of Broken Soul Mountain is very large, and there are waterfalls and lakes on the south side of the mountain, and Master Xia means that this smelting furnace is built in this place...... Does the young master have other plans? ”

Feng Si was a little apprehensive, after all, such a big matter had not been approved by the young master.

Fu Xiaoguan shook his head, "I originally intended to smelt in it, but the construction method of this smelting furnace needs to be improved, show you this-"

He took out the drawing of the structure of the simple blast furnace and handed it to Feng Si, and said: "After you go back, discuss this smelting furnace with this Master Xia and other masters, it is called a blast furnace, and it needs a big blower to help the furnace burn, so if there is a waterfall in that place, it is the best, you go to Zhou Zheng, build a few more of the big waterwheels, and use the power of the water wheel to drive the blower - it is similar to the nature of making cement, you know." ”

Feng Laosi is a stonemason, he can't understand this thing, the young master also wrote a lot of steps on this paper, but he doesn't know how to read, after thinking about it, Master Xia is a learned person, he should understand.

"Don't hide it from the young master, I have to take this thing back to Master Xia and them to study, I know the waterwheel fan, what else does the young master have to explain?"

Fu Xiaoguan thought about it, and he felt that he had to remind Master Naxia through Feng Laosi, lest he not accept this new thing.

"You just tell Master Xia that this blast furnace can produce a very high temperature, can melt iron ore in the shortest time, and remove more impurities, if it is not a process problem, try not to change."

Feng Laosi kept these words in his heart and got up to say goodbye, and Fu Xiaoguan said to Zhang Ce: "Tell me after the road in Fenglin Mountain is repaired, I want to go in and have a look, and the other is that the people who built the road will let them stay there for the time being, and after I have seen it, I will decide the follow-up of these more than 30,000 people." ”

"Good!"

"Next spring, Xishan School will officially open, and there are many scholars in Xishan, so let's find some elderly people to teach in this school."

"Also, there is a medical center that needs to be set up in this West Mountain, those guys will definitely be injured during training, and they must be treated as soon as possible."

"Soap and soap workshops, go to the Xishan people to choose some female workers, the consumption of this thing will be very large, you must remember that the supply of raw materials should not be a problem."
