Chapter 85: Ironmaking
Yang Xing was taken aback, what is this for?
I only heard the sound of the cow urn and said angrily: "Yang Touren, we have to work overnight, do you give it a count?" β
"Yes, we're going to work all night!"
"We're going to work!"
Yang Xing rubbed his ears vigorously, didn't he hear it wrong?
Aren't these people the ones who grind during the day?
"What does it mean that you don't do a good job during the day, but you have to work all night at night?" Yang Xingyi said solemnly.
Niu Da felt ashamed for a while, and said embarrassedly: "I don't hide it, we think that Yang Touren is cheating me, and I won't give more food if I work hard, but I didn't expect you to really give it."
Since you really give it, I naturally have to work hard for 12 points. β
Only then did Yang Xing understand that these people didn't trust him before, so they cheated and played tricks.
At this time, I believe it, but I want to make up for it during the day.
He was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Wait until I go and ask the county guard to see if he agrees." β
After a short time, Yang Xing came back, and said dejectedly: "The county guard is not allowed, and he will talk about it tomorrow if he has the strength." β
For Liu Ping, it is not advisable to work overtime at night (author's voice).
First, no matter how strong a person is, he lacks sleep, and it is difficult to guarantee that it will not affect the next day.
Second, there is no good lighting equipment in this era, even if you work, the efficiency is not high, in case you hurt a few, the gains outweigh the losses.
Niu Da and the others could only go back stupidly.
The next day, the gang went crazy, and each of them had to carry at least two baskets (three of which they couldn't carry).
The Niu brothers have great strength and big steps, so they explained to the other people in advance among the 100 people, and they settled separately.
The strength of others is not comparable to that of their brothers, so they are naturally convinced.
In fact, the same situation occurs in every group, the person who cheats and cheats, others don't know, don't the brothers around you know?
There is no room for him in such a group, and no one dares to be lazy.
By the evening, Niu Da and his group had received a full five stones of grain.
The two brothers each received more than a dozen catties, and both of them were about to cry with excitement.
That's right, so that not only the two of them can eat enough, but even the whole family can eat enough.
This strength finally came into use, and they couldn't help but be grateful to the Yang Tou man and Liu Fujun, who had never met.
Yang Xing looked at the nearly three times more stones than yesterday, and couldn't believe it.
Today he took a casual look, although no one supervised the work, but no one was lazy.
Until it gets dark, they can't drive them back.
Everyone wants to carry a little more.
There were even a few leaders who came to discuss with him, and let him delay for an hour, and they would together gather a pound of food for him.
Yang Xing has also served a lot of labor, and he has never had to bribe the guards to make profits, and he completed it early in one day, but now it is the first time he has seen it, bribing the guards to complete it late.
Only then did he get convinced, it turned out that the method taught by the county guard really worked.
No wonder he is so young that he can be a county guard, and this trick is not something that ordinary people can think of.
After some time, Liu Ping began to order people to install magnets and build kilns.
He also ordered ten huge iron pestle mortars to be put into place.
The mortar has a square circle and is fixed on the flat ground.
The pestle body is an iron pillar that needs to be hugged by two people and more than one person high, and it is pulled to a height of more than three zhang with a winch.
The stone is placed inside the mortar, and the winch is suddenly released, and the pestle falls freely, and with the weight of the pestle, the large stone is broken into small stones.
Of course, there were more advanced crushing equipment in later generations, and Liu Ping could only come up with this stupid way at this time.
After the stone was broken, he ordered a man to carry it on his back and dump it from the top down.
The magnetically large stone is attracted by the magnet, changes the direction of its fall, and automatically falls into a pit, which is the purified ore that can be used for ironmaking.
As for those who are not attracted by magnets, they fall by their own weight and become waste rocks.
Of course, in later generations, this kind of stone was not a waste stone, but a stone that could be used to build roads and make concrete, and the price was not cheap, but it was of little use in this era.
After the kiln was about to take shape, Yang Xing slowly determined that the county guard was going to make iron here.
The stones on this mountain can make iron, and this death can't be believed.
If you can make iron, why is your village so poor?
On the day of the furnace, the surrounding people heard about it and all came to see the excitement.
The matter of the county guard making iron here has become a big local anecdote, who doesn't want to come and see, for a time there are thousands of people.
In the past, when the officials apportioned labor, everyone avoided and did not want to come.
After all, at home, they also eat relief, and when they get here, they still eat relief, who wants to work more?
However, they were forcibly sent to Qingzhuang to send food home one after another, and everyone began to regret it again.
It turns out that the labor here is different from other labor, as long as you have the strength and hard work, you can never eat enough food for one person, and you can also subsidize the family.
They heard that the most exaggerated thing was a Niu family brother, who was poor before, but now the two brothers have saved nearly three or four stones of grain in less than a month.
According to this method of saving grain, it is almost time to catch up with the harvest of a small landlord's family.
That Niu Er was originally unwilling to marry him, but now he came to the door to say that the matchmaker had broken the threshold.
During this time, the legend of the young men who served in this place and the good life of their families were spread everywhere, which made the surrounding people itch.
On this day, all the young and strong people also stopped their work and gathered around the ten big kilns, and their nervous hearts were about to jump out.
All of them have received practical benefits, and they will not be able to eat all the food they get every day, and they could not even think of such a day before, but now they are most worried about whether such a good life can continue.
They also know that if there is no income, it will not last long anyway if they rely on the support of the county guards themselves.
But can the stones they carry really make iron?
The answer is coming soon......
"Ignition!"
Liu Ping gave an order, and the charcoal in the ten kilns was ignited at the same time.
Each kiln has two or three bellows, and some people desperately blow air into it, lest they are not good at operation, resulting in the failure of ironmaking.
There were nearly 10,000 people at the scene, silent, as if they could only hear the sound of their own heartbeat, and they all quietly watched the mouth of the kiln.
The mountain wind is howling.
A moment passes......
Two moments passed......
At three moments, suddenly someone in front of me screamed: "Out of the water!" β
"Look, it's out of the water!"
Everyone watched carefully, only to see that red molten iron flowed out of the furnace, fell into the square mud, and quickly condensed into black iron bricks.
The gang of people were stunned for ten breaths, and then instantly let out a thunderous cheer.
Iron was actually made from the stones on their backs!
Niu Da couldn't help lying on the ground and burst into tears, and Niu Er was crazy, grabbing whoever he was hugging.
The rest of the thousands of people were also almost crazy, crying, laughing, shouting......
Nothing can stop them from binge.
The smelting of iron means that their good life will not be interrupted and can continue forever.
The rest of the people who came to see the excitement were sour in their hearts, and they inquired one after another, wondering if there was still a need for labor here.
If you need to, sign up first.
I am afraid that this is the only place to take the initiative to inquire about those who come to serve in labor.
After the people calmed down a little, someone suddenly said, "Why did Liu Fujun leave?" β
Only then did they find out that Liu Fujun did not participate in their carnival, but took the two servants and silently went to the small courtyard of Yang Xing's house.
Only then did all the people suddenly remember that it was this young county warden who began to quarry stones and smelt iron here, and it was from this that their good life came from.
Everyone knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Liu Ping's back, and shouted in unison: "Fujun Ende!" β
