Chapter 146: Breakthrough Point
"When I moved to Kaifeng, Grandpa's belongings were all trapped in Chengdu, bottle, you go back and take 2,000 yuan from the account room and give it to Grandpa, what is the specific statement, you can do it yourself." Li Zhongyi is not short of money, what he lacks most is the harmony of the family.
"Hehe, the slave said that it was the money that the public temporarily lent to the old lady." The bottle smiled and brought out the reason, Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile slightly, this concubine was not married in vain.
As long as it is a human being, it is all with dignity, although Li Dahe does not talk much and is not good at communicating, but he has the hardness of a feudal scholar in his bones.
If Bottler directly said that it was the money given by Li Zhongyi to open a medical center, Li Da and Bacheng would not accept this kind of gift.
On the contrary, if it is borrowed money, Li Dahe secretly accumulates family funds for his second son Li Zhonghao, and he will be much more comfortable psychologically.
"Master, will you eat a red fruit?" Seeing that Li Zhongyi and the bottle were finished talking, Peony hurriedly saw the stitches and offered his courtesy.
Li Zhongyi took the red fruit, took a small bite, and casually praised the peony, "This fruit is well controlled with well water, and it is very delicious." ”
Peony smiled happily and glanced at the bottle, feeling a little proud in her heart. Although she doesn't know how to take care of the house and can't help with serious things, she still has this little ability to be coquettish and make Li Zhongyi smile.
"Vomit ......" The bottle suddenly retched for no reason, and all he vomited was yellow water.
Li Zhongyi didn't care about it at the beginning, but after thinking about it, his eyes couldn't help but widen, could it be that there was one?
Grabbing the bottle's right hand, Li Zhongyi took a deep breath and took the pulse. The pulse pulses strongly, fluently back and forth, like a bead-on. It should mean sleek.
Hehe, this is not a happy pulse, so what is a happy pulse?
Seeing a hearty smile gradually blooming on Li Zhongyi's face, Bing Xue's smart bottle, shyly turned her head, and her heart was sweet, she was finally pregnant!
Li Zhongyi is very beautiful in his heart. He is finally going to be a father again, and the child in the belly of the bottle is a testimony of his complete integration into this era.
Peony felt that Li Zhongyi and Bottle's eyes were a little wrong. At first, she didn't quite understand, but when Li Zhongyi told Bottler to pay more attention to rest and not to be too tired, she vaguely understood: Bottler was ahead of her. Pregnant with the Lord's Seed!
Li Zhongyi was happy for a while. Jue Peony's face became more and more pale, so he grabbed her thin waist, hugged her to his lap, and comforted, "What's the hurry? Sooner or later, you'll be pregnant with your grandfather's child. ”
Peony still doesn't know that her favorite soup has always been added with mild contraceptives.
Before the conditions of Peony's body are mature in all aspects, Li Zhongyi has no intention of letting his woman break through the ghost gate of childbirth!
Mrs. Xue gave birth to a pair of twins. In addition to the fact that she had given birth to Li Zhongyi before, another major reason was. Li Zhongyi racked his brains and tried his best to give full care from nutrition, sports, spirit and other levels.
From the perspective of eugenics, the probability of dystocia is surprisingly high for pregnant women who give birth for the first time before their bodies are far from mature children.
Even if Li Zhongyi is a top famous doctor, he does not dare to guarantee that his woman will definitely be able to give birth smoothly.
Of course, when the bottle is pregnant, Li Zhongyi has many more means at his disposal than Mrs. Xue, at least, he can find out where the fetus's head is anytime and anywhere.
No matter how close her mother is, Li Zhongyi can't touch her belly, and there is always a sense of helplessness itching through her boots.
In the morning, not long after the city gate opened, Li Zhongyi took a carriage out of the city. There is no way, the task is heavy, the time is tight, and the craftsmen are still in short supply, so he can only use more thought.
After sitting in the official hall, Li Xiaoqi stood in front of Li Zhongyi and whispered: "Childe, everyone talked about going to bed late last night. According to the old craftsmen, the most difficult thing to make arrows is the three-edged arrowhead, and the shaft of the arrow is made from wood, and as for the rest, it is easy to say. ”
Li Zhongyi nodded and motioned for Li Xiaoqi to continue, Li Xiaoqi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and explained: "This arrow requires the blacksmith to hammer out a sharp cone, and also to leave a hole for inserting the wooden arrow shaft, which is not only cumbersome, but also has a very high rejection rate. ”
"Yes, but I don't have a blacksmith right now." Li Zhongyi sighed, Sun Daqing and Zhou Chong secretly did everything to the end, so that he had a hard time.
After Zhou Chong had a stroke last night, Li Zhongyi was about to get back a little debt, but the problem of making arrows was not alleviated in the slightest.
"I thought all night last night, and the possibility of temporarily mobilizing a blacksmith is almost non-existent. Alas, we can only consider the mold for making zuò arrows. "Li Zhongyi really didn't sleep very well last night.
Iron smelting is a monopoly and regulated industry by the government, and most of the folk blacksmiths will only make some farm tools and other things, and repair kitchen knives or scissors, even if these folk blacksmiths come, they will not be of much use.
The blacksmith is lacking, so he can only start by improving work efficiency, and Li Zhongyi decided to make a mold for the arrow.
With molds, you can use standardized production methods to speed up the degree of arrowmaking.
"Xiaoba, I remember that there are charcoal sellers on the outskirts of Kaifeng, you go and sell a few big trucks." Li Zhongyi told Li Xiaoba to go shopping, and found the only blacksmith left yesterday, Xie Xiaosan.
"Can you make a mold for an arrow out of refractory clay?" Li Zhongyi didn't want to waste time, so he asked Xie Xiaosan straight to the point.
"Mold?" Xie Xiaosan looked at Li Zhongyi with an ignorant expression, Li Zhongyi smiled dumbly, mold is a modern word, and it should be called a paradigm to conform to the rules.
After Li Zhongyi's explanation, Xie Xiaosan understood what he meant, so he touched his head and replied: "The paradigm made of clay is easy to break, and there is no way to use it next time." ”
Mud? Xie Xiaosan's misunderstanding made Li Zhongyi's eyes suddenly brighten.
It is recorded in the history books that some people made cannon models out of clay, which greatly increased the production efficiency of artillery.
Although the failure rate of clay cannon is very high, generally about 3o%, however, the process is too complicated.
For the clay arrow paradigm, as long as the triangular pyramid-shaped arrow wooden mold is made in advance, it is cut in half. After the soil is compacted and dried, only molten iron needs to be poured in. That's it.
In this way, all craftsmen can participate in the work of making arrowheads after a short period of training, and their efficiency will be greatly improved.
Even if there is a waste product, it can be directly reused in the furnace without wasting iron.
Thirty days in a month, yesterday has already wasted a day. In other words, there are still twenty-nine days to go.
It's a hot day. The temperature on the outskirts of Kaifeng is very high, and the mud arrow paradigm is believed to dry soon.
Besides, even if the weather is bad. Li Zhongyi can also burn a big kang. Artificially raise the room temperature to speed up the drying of the mud.
Xie Xiaosan has never done a clay fan, and Li Zhongyi is just relying on imagination, and the final result still needs to be realized.
"Li Gong, fortunately, the iron-making furnace did not go out, and the villain added some charcoal last night to keep the furnace warm. Otherwise. It will take at least five days or more for the fire to be re-ignited. Xie Xiaosan's explanation. Let Li Zhongyi feel very lucky.
Now at this juncture, he really can't stand the five-day delay in vain!
In the arrow workshop, there is only a small iron-making furnace, which is actually a crucible furnace for chemical and pig iron in this era, but Li Zhongyi doesn't understand it.
First, the carpenter came in. Led by Wang Xiaoyi, according to the triangular pyramid shape of the iron arrow, a mold of a wooden triangular arrow was made within an hour.
According to Li Zhongyi's request, Wang Xiaoyi divided the wooden mold into two, so that the wet mud could be sandwiched out of the shape of an arrow.
After having the first physical wooden mold, Wang Xiaoyi led his carpenter class to draw a scoop according to the gourd, and in more than two hours, he made 20 such wooden molds.
After Li Zhongyi's spot check, he felt that except for the first wooden mold made by Wang Xiaoyi himself, the rest of the wooden molds were very ugly, but at this time, Li Zhongyi couldn't care so much.
As long as the inside is used and the appearance is ugly, Li Zhongyi has no way to care about it at all.
The wooden mold of this arrow is larger than the iron arrow on the feather arrow, and it can be seen that Wang Xiaoyi also used his brains.
There are 50,000 arrowheads, and there are 29 days left, and it takes about two to three days for the yellow mud to dry out, and about 2,200 arrowheads are produced every day. Regardless of the proportion of defective products, it is necessary to pinch out at least 3ooo hollow mud arrows every day to make qualified iron arrows.
Fortunately, there is yellow mud everywhere, and there is no need to worry about the raw materials at all, so Li Zhongyi mobilized dozens of craftsmen to dilute the dug yellow mud while carrying water.
At the same time, in order to improve the efficiency of the yellow mud drying and make it easier for the yellow mud to be dried at night, Li Zhongyi ordered someone to build a wooden house with a fire pit, about 300 square meters.
At the critical juncture, as soon as he was simplified, Li Zhongyi just ordered someone to smear a layer of thin yellow mud in the cracks of the fire pit, and he did it hastily.
For the time being, Li Zhongyi only has a wooden model of twenty arrows, and he can only arrange twenty young craftsmen to make an arrow model with yellow clay.
Don't look at the fact that there are not many people, because the work is simple and the yellow mud is sufficient, according to Li Zhongyi's private observation, the fastest craftsman, within an hour, actually sandwiched out 200 clay molds.
Well, Li Zhongyi is very satisfied, and the work of the arrow has finally been settled.
Next, Li Zhongyi's attention focused on the blacksmith, in order to realize the clay mold of the arrow, whether it was used or not.
Li Xiaoqi spent more than two hours drying twenty hollow mud arrows on the fire.
Li Zhongyi ordered Li Xiaoqi to dig a small soil pit next to the iron-making furnace, the shape was only slightly larger than the hollow mud arrow, so it was convenient to put it in.
There were thirty craftsmen on Xie Xiaosan's side, in groups of six, who took turns to pull the huge blast bag, one by one they were tired and sweaty, but they gritted their teeth and waited for the moment of shift.
Li Zhongyi saw this situation, and couldn't help but secretly ask for it, relying on manpower to drum up, the efficiency was too low, and it was difficult to sustain.
Now there is no way, even if Li Zhongyi has the intention to improve the bellows into a piston bellows that can blow air repeatedly, he no longer has the time to do it. (To be continued......)
