It can be said unceremoniously that in Mojia Village, the four-wheeled carriage business is the main business of Mojia Village, as long as the four-wheeled carriage business does not fail, the status of Mojia Village will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai. Merton first showed Li Shimin the second-generation four-wheeled carriage, and the most important purpose was to prove to Li Shimin the strength of Mojia Village.

It proves that the Mo family is still continuing to develop at this moment, has not gone downhill, and has not lived up to the reputation of the first village in the world.

Li Shimin naturally didn't want the first village in the world to be slapped in the face so soon, and when he saw the potential of Mojia Village, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Merton continued: "The second generation of four-wheeled carriages added glass, but in the boy's opinion, but not perfect, the glass is still very brittle, the slightest touch will break, in the boy's imagination, if you can make the glass as hard as steel, inlay it on the four-wheeled carriage, and the glass inlay it on the door, it will be even more perfect." ”

When Uncle Zhang on the side heard this, he suddenly felt like he had found a treasure, and hurriedly wrote it down, and said with a smile: "Young master, don't worry, my old Zhang will definitely strive to complete the young master's orders as soon as possible." ”

Li Tai carefully imagined Merton's idea, and then he was surprised: "Now I finally believe that this carriage is not from you. ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Merton in surprise, and then said with a straight face: "If it weren't for Master Zhang's contributions, how could he have thought of this, icing on the cake, just clever!" ”

Merton suddenly looked embarrassed, his expression was very different, and Li Zhi and Princess Jinyang on the side couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.

"Where's the pot workshop?" Mo Dun hurriedly changed the topic and said, the pot workshop is probably the most serious among the major workshops in Mojia Village, after all, there are too many iron strikers in the entire Tang Dynasty, and the pots and pans are the easiest to imitate, once a large number of low-cost iron pots appear on the market, the sales of pots and pans in Mojia Village will suddenly stagnate, and a large number of backlogs.

Lao Zhangtou's expression suddenly changed: "Back to the young master's words, although the Mo family's pots and pans are of high quality, they are still not as cheap as those in other workshops. ”

Merton couldn't help but sigh, he naturally knew the plight of the pot workshop, otherwise he would not have given priority to asking the pot workshop.

"However, the pot workshop has gone the opposite way and made cheaper pots!" Lao Zhang gritted his teeth and said.

"Cheaper pots and pans!" Merton frowned and said: "Could it be shoddy, the signboard of Mojia Village can't be smashed!" ”

Lao Zhangtou shook his head and said: "Whether it's good or bad, Lao Zhang is not sure, the young master will know at a glance." ”

Under the leadership of Lao Zhangtou, everyone came to a warehouse in the east.

"Tieping! The young master is here! With the call of the old man, a lean man appeared in front of everyone.

Tie Ping is the elder brother of Morton's guard Tie Ping, although he was born to the same mother, Tie Ping is the opposite of the tall Tie Ping, he is thin and does not know the slightest martial arts, and he usually makes a living by striking iron.

"Tieping! I heard you made cheaper pots and pans! Merton said solemnly.

When Tie Ping heard this, he immediately said proudly: "Young master, don't worry, although the pots and pans made by the small ones are cheap, they have not cut corners. ”

"If you haven't cut corners, why is it so cheap!" Li Shimin asked puzzled.

Although Tie Ping didn't know Li Shimin, he knew that he was either rich or expensive by looking at his clothes, not to mention that he was personally accompanied by the young master, so that the young master could personally accompany him last time, but Han Tiemian didn't dare to slack off at the moment, and hurriedly replied: "If you go back to your nobles, that's because the villain can use one day to make pots and pans that used to take ten days to build." ”

"Really?" Li Shimin suddenly exclaimed, looking at the thin Tie Ping with a look of disbelief.

In the suspicious eyes of everyone, he directly took out a round iron plate and put it on an inverted semi-circular mold in a grinding machine.

The original round iron plate was rapidly rotating, and it was quickly ground into the shape of an iron pot by this mechanical grinding disc resembling a grinding disc.

"That's it?"

Li Shimin was surprised, he just doesn't eat the fireworks of the world anymore, and he also knows that the iron pot is cast from a mold, and it needs to be beaten many times to complete, and the iron pot made by Tieping does not have this process at all.

"That's right! I heard that only the iron pot created is tough and durable! Li Tai was surprised.

Tie Ping explained: "Back to the nobles, this round iron plate itself is a high-quality iron material in Mojia Village, which has been stamped in a steel furnace in advance, and it is extremely strong, and the iron pot forged by this hair is not worse than the forged iron pot in terms of durability!" ”

"Really?" Li Shimin still didn't believe it.

Merton nodded solemnly and said: "That's true, the thickness of the iron pot pressed out by this method is uniform, which is not available for forging iron pots, and what is even more commendable is that this method is extremely convenient and greatly shortens the manpower." ”

Tie Ping nodded solemnly and said: "Excluding labor, livestock and iron materials, the cost of casting an iron pot is probably only about half of that of forging an iron pot, and the speed is several times faster." ”

Li Shimin was puzzled: "This is a good thing!" The quality of the iron pot is not bad, the price is cheap, and the people have benefited a lot, so why is Zhang Dajiang sad? ”

Lao Zhangtou smiled bitterly: "As soon as this method comes out, the pot making skills passed down by the ancestors will gradually be lost." ”

He still couldn't accept an unforged iron pot, and in his opinion, this kind of pressed pot had lost the ingenuity of the craftsman.

Morton understands Lao Zhang Tou very well, an old man who has been a lifelong traditional craft, suddenly saw the outdated state of mind of the craft he has been insisting on, and couldn't help but comfort: "Uncle Zhang has ever thought about how many people in the world are still cooking rice in clay pots, they need such a cheap iron pot, and the expensive and cumbersome hand-forged pot can make the people of the world use high-quality and inexpensive things, and the world can benefit, which is the purpose of the Mo family." ”

Lao Zhangtou couldn't help but be stunned, thought for a long time, and then sighed dejectedly and said: "What the young master said is very true, it is the old man's appearance." ”

If Lao Zhangtou represents the pinnacle of traditional craftsmanship, and Tieping is the germ of Mojia's mechanical technology, he asked solemnly: "Tieping, have you ever attended night school!" ”

Tie Ping hurriedly replied, "I have never missed a section!" ”

Merton nodded and said, "From now on, you will be in charge of the pot workshop!" But it's not pot-making! ”

"What is that?" Tie Ping looked at Merton in confusion.

Morton showed an inexplicable smile and said, "The machinery responsible for producing iron-making pots!" When the cheap iron pot of the Mo family spreads, I believe that there will be many workshops coming here. Mojia Village only needs to sell pot-making machinery. ”

Li Shimin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but glance at Merton with admiration, once this kind of pot-making machinery spreads, the people of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be able to use cheap iron pots in the shortest time, and with the power of a village, the world will benefit, how can such a courtier not let Li Shimin appreciate it?

"What about the blacksmith in the pot and pan workshop?" Tie Ping asked.

Merton waved his hand and said, "All of them will build machinery, as long as they can use this method instead of forging, they will make corresponding machines for me." ”

"Yes! Master! "Tie Ping Zhengse.

Mo Dun looked at the simple press cooker machinery in front of him, and couldn't help but be excited, Mojia Village finally broke through the pure manual process, the era of manual mechanical technology has begun, and Tieping is the hope of the future of Mojia Village.
