When Wang Zezhi heard Zhao Can's words, a nameless fire rose with a sound.

He ignored them from head to toe, because he knew that these people were very stubborn and couldn't move them at all.

Another reason is that they are the official craftsmen of Shouyang, and he is not good at touching them.

Since these people don't know what to do and hit the muzzle of the gun, then he doesn't plan to be polite anymore.

"Craftsman Zhao, General Ben asks you a word."

"My lord, excuse me."

"Since you came to the camp, has this general treated you badly?"

"No, I didn't."

"Has General Ben ever deducted your wages?"

"No, I didn't."

"Then tell me, why can't this Fa be passed on lightly?"

"My lord, your kindness, the little ones will keep it in mind, but the rules set by the ancestors cannot be broken."

Zhao Can raised his head and stood tall, not humble or stubborn, and argued with Wang Zezhi's reasoning.

"Good, good." Wang Zezhi said three good words in a row, and his face suddenly changed.

"Someone, Zhao Can and others stole the military secrets of the camp, secretly learned the casting skills of Lu Migong, violated military law, and committed a capital crime, so they were dragged down and beheaded."

Wang Zeyi waved his hand, and the guards in charge of guarding the iron room swarmed up and escorted the eight people.

"No, no, no, you can't do this, you can't do this." Zhao Can was shocked and shouted in horror.

"What can't I do?" Wang Zezhi squinted his eyes and asked coldly.

"You can't kill us."

"You don't say the Fa lightly, do you?"

"Yes." Zhao Can replied with trembling lips in fear, he already knew what Wang Zezhi was going to say next.

"You learned the casting method of Lu Mi Gong from me, right?" Wang Zezhi took out the "Artifact Spectrum" and patted it in his hand.

"Yes, yes." Zhao Can knew that he was at a loss, and the more he spoke, the softer his voice became.

"You stole the military secrets of my guerrilla battalion, and you should be punished for the crime, no problem, right?"

"No... There are problems, there are problems, we accept apprentices, we don't need money, we accept ten apprentices each, we don't want a penny. Zhao Can came back to his senses and immediately shouted anxiously.

"Okay." Wang Zezhi stretched out two fingers and continued: "Each of you will receive twenty apprentices, just like them, one apprentice will be rewarded with one tael of silver. ”

"Thank you, your lordship is merciful."

"Very good, from today onwards, the ironcraft room will be officially changed to the Foundry Bureau, responsible for the casting of weapons and equipment of the whole battalion, and priority will be given to the casting of Lumi guns and red-coated cannons.

The team led by the two of you is divided into the left battalion of the Foundry Bureau and the right battalion of the Foundry Bureau, and you teach apprentices at the same time, and whichever side of the apprentice casts a weapon of high quality, which side will be the main one, and the other side will be supplemented. ”

Wang Zezhi was worried that these people would disobey the yin and yang, and they would not do their best to recruit apprentices, so they came up with such a trick.

"Yes."

"Yes."

Wang Zezhi gave them an appointment order, a recruitment order, and asked them to choose suitable candidates from among the common people, homeless people, and sergeants.

After dealing with the matter of the iron room, Wang Zezhi went to find Wang Sanlang.

Originally, he wanted Wang Saburo to speed up the production of bows and arrows, but when he learned that Wang Saburo's apprentices were all killed in battle except for Tian Ridge, he decided to slow it down for a while.

Wang Sanlang's apprentices chose all sergeants who were good at bow and arrow shooting, and these people died in a battle and never came back.

Wang Saburo was in a state of grief as he stroked the apprentices' crafting tools, as well as the half-finished longbows they made.

Wang Zezhi glanced at the sad master and apprentice, sighed, and turned to leave.

As soon as he came out of Wang Sanlang's place, he met the ore transport team.

After careful consideration, Wang Zezhi still did not go to the coal mine to build a sub-camp.

With the sergeants he has at his disposal, the combination is strong and the division is weak. Beautiful

He just sent the miners back and put a few sergeants in charge.

Of course, he still paid the food and wages of these miners.

"Unload, unload, hurry up, try to pull a few more times before dark."

A black man commanded the miners pulling coal to unload the goods, constantly shouting.

"Sun Tou'er, celebrate today, don't have to work so hard, go to the kitchen to get a few sheep, and go to the mine to give the brothers something good."

Wang Zezhi looked at him and said.

Zhang Tou'er, a person with considerable prestige among the miners, that is, the person who spoke to the miners, Wang Zezhi let him manage the miners.

"Lord Xie, Lord Xie!"

Zhang Touer thanked him again and again, and happily ran to the kitchen to lead the sheep.

Zhang Touer ate and drank well in Wang Zezhi's hands, and every time he thought of the kind of pigs and dogs that were not as good as the pigs and dogs in the hands of Wenju people, he would sigh that the adults are so good now.

When Zhang Tou'er led the sheep, Wang Zezhi fell into deep thought.

There was more and more coal piled up in the camp, and even a lot of coke.

After questioning, he learned that the mine occupied by Wenju people was a big mine, and it might not be dug for decades.

Da Ming already knew that coke was used to smelt iron, and it generally took about one ton of coke to smelt one ton of iron, and at present, coke was about eighteen taels of silver per ton, and ordinary coal was also seven or eight taels.

And the coal of ironmaking must be selected, as far as Wang Zezhi knows, there is already anthracite coal in this county.

The price per ton of iron in Daming is 278 taels, and the price of fried steel is higher, but the consumption of coke is also higher.

He remembered that the Wenju people had smelted in the coal mines.

He wanted to make his own steel.

Thinking of this, he ran over to ask Ma Huai, but Ma Huai said that there was no equipment in the camp, and although the Wenju people were bad, the steelmaking equipment he bought was excellent, and the equipment was still in the mine.

Hearing this, Wang Zezhi made another difficulty, and it was difficult for him to build a branch camp.

"My lord, the most powerful thing in iron smelting is Lao Qian, you just need to let him bring his apprentice over."

Ma Huai beckoned, and a man with a scorched and honest face walked over.

"Old Qian, do you know how to make fried steel?"

"Back to my lord, the small ones can smelt iron, smelt steel, smelt magnetic soil, these things are all in the mine, you pulled me here, I haven't done any of these things.

My lord, the fried steel you bought back is not as good as mine, if I come to refine it..."

Lao Qian looked honest, but he didn't expect it to be a chatterbox, and he couldn't stop this mouth, and kept complaining.

Roughly speaking, Wang Zezhi was blamed for buying some poor quality iron and fried steel, and he looked uncomfortable.

Ma Huai kept pulling the stunned sleeve of Lao Qian, but Lao Qian was unmoved, still chattering and complaining.

He was complaining, but Wang Zezhi was thinking about iron ore and magnetic soil.

Magnet, that is, aluminum.

He didn't expect that the mine occupied by Wenju people not only contained coal, but also iron ore and aluminum ore.

No wonder he would arrange for these people to build weapons on the spot in the coal mine, it turned out that he did not lack iron ore at all.

Thinking of this, Wang Zezhi patted his head, he was so stupid, he actually spent money to buy so much iron and steel back.

He could have made it himself.

"Old money, okay, okay, I decided to add a new bureau, called the Metallurgical Bureau, the boss of this bureau is you, I will give you three days, choose a good apprentice, and take someone to the mine to give me iron smelting, steelmaking, and magnetic soil smelting."

Wang Zezhi was overjoyed and patted Lao Qian's shoulder.

Lao Qian was stunned, he didn't care about anything else, and when he heard that Wang Zezhi arranged for him to let go of iron, steel, and magnet smelting, he cried excitedly.

Mainly, he hasn't done any of these things since he came here, just helping them.

Whenever he saw those bad steels, he was so uncomfortable that he wanted to rebuild them.

Now, he can finally go back to his old ways.
