Chapter 211: Farm Tools
In the forging workshop on the outskirts of Danyang Township, Guan Ping turned around and was quite disappointed: "Your Majesty still thinks that Xiaoxian will supervise the creation of many divine weapons, and I came to Danyang to visit my little sister is a private matter, and there are many missions." ”
A small charcoal burning field is set up in the villages along the Danshui River, and the burned charcoal gathers in Danyang Township, where the collected ore is also smelted.
There is a mature method of frying steel, the only problem is that the material of the molten steel in each furnace is different, and the small probability may be excellent molten steel, and it is often more likely to be overfried and fried mature iron.
There are two furnaces, two steel furnaces, and one forging furnace, and the production of agricultural tools is mainly casting.
Tian Xin also has the knowledge that wrought iron has less carbon content, pig iron has high carbon content, and steel is in between; I also know the molecular ...... in a high-temperature environment It should be the molecule, or the carbon atom is more active.
Therefore, there is already a primitive carburizing treatment method, and there is also a stable agricultural tool casting production process.
First of all, the steel is fried by the frying method, and the molten steel is fried without pursuing the control of frying technology, and the wrought iron is fried in one step; Then cast the farm tools with wrought iron.
The casting mold is limited by the skill, there are a few flaws, wrought iron casting farm tools by hot iron, forging and forming, standby.
Pig iron is then smelted, and the temperature at which the pig iron melts is low and the temperature required for wrought iron is high...... Soak the wrought iron cast farm tools in the molten pig iron, soak them at a temperature for a day, then take them out and quench them with urine, then heat them and temper them, and cover them with soil to cool.
As long as the agricultural tools made are more durable than wrought iron casting, they are qualified in Tian Xin's eyes.
The importance of tools needs not be overstated...... A battalion of infantry is often armed with less than fifty hand axes; During the military camp, the hardwood was harvested and burned to make tools by fire and sharpening, which was better than nothing, and it took a lot of manpower to manufacture and repair these tools to maintain them.
Instead of wasting manpower on maintaining wooden tools, it is better to open a forge and make your own tools.
Nanyang is one of the smelting centers, and it is not difficult to restore the construction of the smelting base, which is much easier than other areas.
As long as the energy source is continuous to produce high-quality agricultural tools, the productivity increase brought by agricultural tools is enough to feed the manpower of the forge-related industries.
The productivity that tools increase can feed the manpower of tool manufacturing, and that is earned.
Because of this, there is really no need for the forge to pursue the creation of weapons, the foundation of the Northern Army and Zhaoyangyi is too weak, and the technical reserves are also insufficient, and the creation of weapons is half the effort, which is not beneficial to the overall situation.
Tian Xin really didn't build weapons and armor, and Liu Bei and Guan Ping's expectations were destined to be disappointed.
Even if Guan Ping turned around the forge and came to the warehouse to stroll, all he saw was farm tools, no weapons and armor.
He was very disappointed, and the idea of fighting the autumn wind was in vain, so he turned to get down to business, and asked first: "Does Xiao Xian know why His Majesty didn't deal with Laimin?" ”
This didn't need Tian Xin to think about it, Zhang Wen had already jumped out to comfort Tian Xin and explained the reason.
The influence of the Lai family...... said that there is, there really is, and it is constantly expanding; Say no, but no.
Lai Min went to Yizhou for refuge, Nanyang suffered from war for a long time, and was controlled by Cao Wei for more than ten years, so the influence of the Lai family on the party in Nanyang Township was limited, and the connections accumulated by his father and ancestors were not inherited and operated.
If you don't kill Laimin, you don't want to open a bad example with blood.
Tian Xin held back his anger and didn't kill Laimin, not because he was afraid of the influence of the Lai family, let alone the Nanyang Township Party, but he didn't want to kill people in front of Guan Ji and Liu Bei, and he didn't want to start killing the minister's head.
Liu Bei didn't kill Lai Min with the same consideration, he didn't want to make a bad start.
Otherwise, it is a small matter to kill Lai Min to vent his hatred, although he is happy in the moment, it will also bury long-term disasters for Tian Xin.
In order to eliminate this scourge, Tian Xin refused to sacrifice himself...... That's going to kill more people.
It is precisely by cherishing this precious atmosphere that Laimin has no fear.
"Killing is useless, and there will be endless troubles."
Tian Xin replied casually, still thinking about the scene of Sun Quan and Pan discussing the law change, and his mind automatically brought in Yingquliang's resolute, tough, and bold temperament...... I just think it's weird.
"Yes, it is useless to kill, fortunately, Xiaoxian endured and restrained that day, otherwise His Majesty would be in a dilemma."
Guan Ping walked out of the warehouse with no interest, Tian Xin followed, and saw Guan Ping handing over a small group of silk books in his hand, and there were only dozens of simplified Chinese characters in his hand, and the content was only one.
Prime Minister Zhuge Liang dismissed Prince Laimin from the post of family commander on the grounds that 'Laimin is more crazy than Kong Wenju', and he was also ordered to think about it behind closed doors.
Liu Bei is not easy to deal with, Tian Xin will definitely hold a grudge, deal with Lai Min early, and the matter will be revealed, there is no need to make trouble with the Northern Expedition Group for a Lai Min.
In order to cover up and cover the stain on Pan's body, too many people followed the bad luck, and in the end they didn't keep Pan, Pan also ran away from Jiangdong, and Jingren's various hardships were like a joke.
Pan is talented, young, and worthy of protection, but what about Laimin?
Guan Ping didn't see Tian Xin's words for a long time, so he asked: "The prime minister disposes of it, Xiaoxian may be satisfied?" ”
"It's still light."
Tian Xin handed the silk book back: "I don't kill people, I still imprison the disciples of the Lai clan and the protégés of the old officials." ”
Destroying a scholastic family can imprison the official career.
The reason why the Runan Yuan clan developed rapidly was that the skills of speculation and standing in line were so good that they exploded, and they almost did not make mistakes, and they would win every gamble.
Yuan's Shizhi "Meng's Yi", protégés and former officials are all over the world, and there are children of Shuliu who serve in the palace...... Zhongchang servant, several generations of accumulation of prestige and connections, by the time of the Yuan Shao brothers, they had reached a qualitative change.
If the Yuan family fails to stand in line, like the Jiangxia Huang family, it will also decline and fall apart.
Tian Xin has no right to imprison the children of the Lai clan and the protégés, but he has this influence.
Guan Ping didn't bother with the career of Lai's children, Tian Xin promised not to take revenge by force and intensify the conflict.
Walking on the road, Guan Ping pondered and said: "In addition, there are two other things, the first is the establishment of the Northern Army, Your Majesty wants to have an in-depth understanding of the specific policy of the Northern Army. The second is the prince's private letter, which is related to the beast. If the beast dies unfortunately, will it really lose its luck? ”
"Brother, the theory of luck is illusory, and it is difficult to have a definite number."
Tian Nobunaga said with a three-foot-long white smile: "People's luck is fickle, just like a wooden scoop scooping water, there is more water in a big scoop and less water in a small scoop. Damaging a few Rui beasts is like a hole in a scoop of water. No matter how big the scoop is, if it has holes and cracks, I am afraid it can only be used for a small time. ”
This explanation barely conformed to Guan Ping's understanding, nodded slowly, and explained: "The prince is just curious to ask, and has no other intentions. ”
"I know that the prime minister is very strict in discipline, and the prince wants to raise Rui Beasts, but he can't start."
Tian Xin smiled even more, if Zhuge Liang did not lead the troops to the battle, he would always stay by Liu Chan's side to deal with government affairs...... It's a nightmare for Liu Chan.
Not to mention raising a delicate and arrogant uncle, it is a common tiger, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and even hunting dogs, pet dogs, and bright birds and finches are impossible for Liu Chan to touch.
It is estimated that Liu Chan can only drive oxen and plough when farming, ride horses every day to exercise, and hold a cat to play on weekdays.
There was a tacit understanding, and after the two of them mourned for Liu Chan for a while, Tian Xincai said: "The establishment system of the Northern Army is complicated, my brother may wish to dine first, and I will tell in detail in the warm pavilion after the meal." ”
"It's okay, I'm in a hurry."
Guan Ping laughed, and as soon as he came, he pulled Tian Xin to inspect the forge, which was completely on a first-come, first-served basis, and he wanted to meet and divide half of it.
Tian Xin is not surprised, and the only thing that can make Guan Ping care is armament and food.
As for the change in the establishment of the Northern Army, it was purely to move closer to the military system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
This is not only the development of the world military system, but also the economic trend of Zhaoyangyi, Wudang Houguo, and Maicheng.
