"Human hands with knife edges, horses, cattle, sheep and dogs. Human hand knife edge, horses, cattle, sheep and dogs. Hands ......" Mo Daming was carrying the literacy textbook on his back, and at the same time peeking at the few things hanging side by side with the bronze bell in the distance, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Damn, I forgot again! What's behind the human hand? ”

"Knife edge!"

Huang Lian'an, who was rubbing his clothes with soap on the side, reminded him with a smile.

"I said Lao Mo, are you thinking about that again?" Huang Lian'an pointed to the plough stick hanging high on the tree with some playfulness.

"Go! It's like you don't want to! Mo Daming's black face flushed slightly, took a sip, and continued to endorse.

Mo Daming and Huang Lian'an were both outstanding elements selected by their respective villages in accordance with Li Shouhan's requirements. According to the conditions of guarding the Han: to be familiar with the affairs of agriculture and mulberry, to be trained by strong men, and to participate in the suppression of bandits, quelling chaos and other things; Be under the age of twenty-five. And so on, the most important one, to be literate, to account.

This time, many villagers have made it difficult, and there are not no people who know this, but if they have it in one person, there are few.

There is no way, Shouhan has to relax the conditions, it doesn't matter if you don't know words, but you have to be able to settle accounts and count.

At the very least, you must know how to recite Xiao Jiujiu.

The dwarf Li pulled out the general, and among hundreds of thousands of people, he selected Mo Daming, Huang Lian'an, and others, a group of 238 political affairs hall students.

Later, he was called a student of the village chief training class.

However, on the first day of reporting, these characters, who were the pride of the sky in their respective villages, were happily killed by the Shouhan.

Each person was given a piece of paper and a charcoal pencil, "You are not required to write articles or letters." On this piece of paper, write down which village you are from, how many people are in your village, how many fields, how many men, women, and children are in the population, how many cattle and horses there are, what is this year's harvest, and what each family plans for next year. An hour later, rewind! ”

Shouhan's words immediately made the people present like splitting the eight-petal top yang bone and pouring down a bucket of ice water. An hour passed quickly, a gong sounded, and the time was up.

To Shouhan's surprise, the 238 test papers were all blank sheets. Oh, and it can't be said to be all blank slate. There were a few rolls that had accidentally left traces of charcoal on them.

Thus, the three-month intensive training began.

Each person was given a set of farm tools, a spear, a set of literacy textbooks, and a set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

"Get up at midnight every day and go down to the ground to clear the wasteland; About half an hour later, wash up and have breakfast. After breakfast, there was a half-hour literacy class that required us to learn at least 300 words. Then there is the drill, the drill until noon, and lunch. Take a break for an hour after eating. Then there are literacy lessons, drills, and going to the ground. "That's what a lot of people say when they talk about it afterwards.

However, there is something else that supports them besides the desire to learn.

"This is the latest and best farming tool in our Ha Jing! It's the latest in the smelter! Ploughshares, hoes! "The gentlemen and stewards of the hall tied the brand-new plough staff with ropes beside the bronze bell, and kept preaching the origin of these things.

"Look! An all-steel plowshare! All-steel hoe! It's a thousand times stronger than the pears you used before! is dozens of times stronger than the wrought iron ladle! ”

The people present have seen the benefits and disadvantages of these farming tools that are said to be made of nine-turn steel in the agricultural class.

A person, holding a wooden pear, of course, the plow is made of nine turns of steel. A buffalo worked hard in less than half a day, and it was easy to complete the paddy field that used to take two or three strong men to finish in a busy day.

The shovels, pickaxes, hoes and other agricultural tools that were sent to people were also made of these nine turns of steel.

If every household uses such plough sticks and farm tools, and then rents ploughing cattle in the General's Mansion, I am afraid that one person can plough the whole family's fields! People are starting to figure it out.

"Your Excellency had something to say yesterday! Anyone who graduated from the government hall will be given a prize for personal use with the farm tools in your hands! This set of guys is not available on the market today! Even if you can buy it in the future, I'm afraid it will cost you more than ten stone rice! Also, the top 10 results, do you see? The steward struck the blue-glowing ploughshare of the plough stick, and a crisp and pleasant metallic sound echoed in the ears. A pair of ploughsticks per person! ”

"In addition, if the overall score of that village is in the top three, the general will also be rewarded! A set of large farm tools will be issued to the area! Encouragement! ”

So, people went crazy!

"Then you say, what are the six policies of the chief of security? What are the three things? ”

"The six politics are three specific things, oh no, six things. It's about land reclamation, tree planting, fish farming, sericulture, ditches, oh no, it's water conservancy. And one more, yes, yes, yes, literacy! The three things are civil affairs, agricultural affairs, and military affairs! Three things! ”

Similar scenes can be seen everywhere, where people are asking themselves questions and asking each other questions.

The same hot scene appeared in Shouhan's study.

"My lord, according to the strategy you gave me that day, I will go back and refer to it for a few days, and then I will follow the process that my lord said, consider the profit and loss, study the share to be added to the molten iron, and make steel." Ling Zheng smiled toothlessly, the fatigue of the past few days, at this moment, it was worth it.

On the ground of the study, there is a steel ingot, from its color, hardness, toughness, texture, sound, and the performance of the made farm tools, in the eyes of Ling Zheng and others, there is indeed no doubt about steel. Although it feels a little worse than 100 refined steel, what else can be said about the fact that such steel can be made by adding the mysterious thing in the sea water to the molten iron?

Shouhan knew very well in his heart that this thing, in terms of appearance and use, was the same as steel, and some properties were superior to most steels of this era, but it was not steel.

Its name is ductile iron!

Ductile iron is a cast iron in which the carbon in the iron is stored in graphite in the form of a ball. This is the metallurgical definition.

In order to make graphite carbon in spherical form, it is only necessary to add magnesium at the time of smelting, and the modern metallurgical industry adds pure magnesium, and in the 17th century, if you want to make ductile iron, you can only add magnesite or dolomite, but neither of these things is available on Shouhan's territory, and he knows that the place where these minerals are stored is now moaning under the iron hooves of Jiannu. However, he has alternative methods and substitutes, no dolomite and magnesite, and the same goes for magnesium chloride.

The manufacture of magnesium chloride is even simpler, and there is not only salt in seawater, but also others.

The method of adding lime water to seawater mentioned by Shouhan is actually the reaction of magnesium chloride in seawater and calcium hydroxide in seawater, and then magnesium hydroxide is formed.

After magnesium hydroxide encounters the high enthusiasm of molten iron, the hydrogen and oxygen in the body will disappear, and after magnesium and iron are combined, it is ductile iron that is formed!

Of course, it's easy to say, if it weren't for Ling Zheng and the others who didn't sleep for days and nights, they wouldn't have formed a very complete set of process production processes so quickly.

"My lord, I am waiting to come today, and I have two things to ask for your instructions."

"Oh, speak!"

Shouhan stroked the "steel ingot", giving him the feeling that was no less than stroking Yan Mei'er's body. This thing, as a substitute for steel, is still very competent, and, now in their own land, raw materials, additives, fuel labor is not lacking, the test has been tested, can produce about 5,000 catties of "steel" per day, this is still a test furnace, there is no large-scale production. If the productive forces are fully opened, whether it is used in agriculture, military equipment, shipbuilding, and the equipment of those factories, it will be an epoch-making revolution!

"Please give this steel a name. That's the first thing. ”

"Huh?! Still have a name? ”

Shouhan is a little difficult! There was no such thing before! An industrial product, but also a name?

"What do you mean?"

"The little ones are stupid, and it is thanks to the orders of the adults that this thing came out, and they dare not trespass." Several people unanimously handed over the naming right to Shouhan.

"Just, just turn ......"

Shouhan wanted to say, then let's talk about it another day! I don't want to be clever for a while, so a misunderstanding will occur!

"Good! The adult gave the name Nine Turns of Steel! ”

"Sure enough, a good name! You can't do this thing if you don't turn it nine times! As a result, ductile iron has a name that is extremely pitiful.

In the future, with the expansion of the territory of the Shouhan, this thing was rarely dispersed, or trade, or war, and was obtained by others, when people learned that the name of this thing was called Jiuzhuan Steel, they took it for granted that they imitated it according to the way of 100 steels in the past, but there was no successful case.

"Oh," Shouhan secretly wiped the sweat that didn't contain zài, and let out a long breath in his heart, maybe this is the benefit of the superior!

"Just now you said there are two things, this is one thing, and two is one thing, what is it?"

"My lord, it's also related to this thing, well, nine turns of steel."

Lei Mingsheng didn't speak for a long time, and when he opened his mouth at this time, what he said was important.

"My lord, a few days of practice, a furnace can produce 5,000 catties a day, the first furnace of steel has been made into agricultural tools, hoes, plowshares, rakes, sickles, etc., the descendants of the political hall use these. The villains want to ask the adults to show the output of these nine turns of steel, as well as whether the steel used to be refined, and if so, how much is appropriate. ”

"In addition, the villain took a piece of steel to Taiping Cave to try, the knife and spearhead made are sharper than before, please show the adults, in the future, the knives and guns of the soldiers and horses in the house are not all made of nine turns of steel......"

Ling Zheng, Lei Mingsheng, and Wang Quan are technicians, and what they consider is output, use, product variety and other issues.

"If I give you enough manpower, iron ore, how much can you guarantee a day? Is there 10,000 catties? Shouhan habitually tapped his index and middle fingers on the table, silently calculating in his heart.

"My lord, now we have four iron-making furnaces, and we can produce more than 20,000 catties of iron every day, and 10,000 catties of nine turns of steel, which is more than enough!" Ling Zheng, who was in charge of the smelter and Taiping Cave, answered Shouhan's questions on behalf of the other three.

"In this way, you are like this, and you are guaranteed to produce 10,000 catties a day. The other two furnaces, one of which continued to be used for testing, "Shouhan picked up the magnesium hydroxide that was cherished by several craftsmen and was cherished in a brocade box," and continued to experiment with the profit and loss, and saw if there were any other varieties and labels. Experiment boldly and document carefully. ”

"The fourth furnace will continue to be used to make steel, but whether the process needs to be improved will be discussed later."

"My lord, then this ten thousand catties and nine revolutions of steel, according to your words, is five tons, what is this lot of steel used for? It can't all be used to make farm tools, right?! ”

"Hahaha!" Shouhan looked up to the sky and laughed, and the four leaders of the craftsmen present looked at each other with a smile, not knowing why.

"This 10,000 catties of nine turns of steel was sent to 5,000 catties in Taiping Cave to build all kinds of farm tools. After a while, I will draw another diagram and adjust the plough slightly, so that one person, one cow and one pear, will plough the field of the previous three people! ”

"Then, what about the five thousand catties?" Several people were a little excited by the beautiful picture sketched by Shouhan.

"Three thousand catties, used to make knives and spears, and artillery. Whether it is a tiger squat cannon, or a large or small Franc machine, a Hongyi cannon, or a fire gun, it is necessary to start experiments. The iron used in the test was to cut 1,000 catties out of these 3,000 catties and use them as trial firearms. ”

"The remaining 2,000 catties will be handed over to the shipyard to see if the various components on the ship, such as nails and anchors, can be replaced with this thing."

Feng Mofeng's lips rolled up and down, and he thought silently, and a few people next to him knew that he must have some accounts in his heart, but they didn't care. However, Feng Mofeng himself seemed to be frightened by the number, and his face immediately turned pale.

"My lord, the villain has a love in return!"

Looking at Feng Mofeng, who was pale and his forehead was full of sweat from his hair, kneeling in front of him, Li Shouhan knew that something big must have happened, or something big was going to happen.

"My lord, a sickle head needs about six taels of steel, and there must be at least two sickles for a family of three, which is one pound and two taels of steel, a hoe, one pound and two taels, a nail rake and a rake to two pounds, a hoe, two nail rakes, and a pair of nail rake sockets, a plow is about ten pounds of steel. In this way, the total is only 20 catties of steel, which can meet the needs of a family of three for farm tools. Feng Mofeng reported the results of his mental arithmetic to Li Shouhan.

Shouhan's fingers were also constantly fiddling with the mahogany on the table as a frame and a jade abacus, calculating Feng Mofeng's statement.

"In this way, 5,000 catties of nine-turn steel per day can be produced to supply the agricultural tools needs of 250 peasant households in one day, 7,500 households in January, and 22,500 households in March."

The accounting was correct, Shouhan smiled, "Isn't that a good thing?" By the time of spring ploughing next year, wouldn't it be good for all villages to use newly made steel plowshares to plough the fields? ”

"My lord, that's what the villain is worried about!"

"Speak!"

"Lord Fang just said that this thing is made of a plowshare, one person, one ox and one plow, which can be equivalent to the farming efficiency of three strong men in the past, my lord, I am now a strong man, if two-thirds of the strong men are used to plough the field, and have nothing to do, idle and idle, wouldn't it be a big disaster?!"

Feng Mofeng did not study philosophy, did not know what was productivity, what were production relations, and did not know the relationship between production tools and labor. However, he keenly discovered that the use of advanced agricultural tools will inevitably cause a surplus of agricultural labor, and if these surplus laborers do not have a good place to settle, it will inevitably cause trouble to Li Shouhan's territory.

It is a public security case at the worst, and it is a robbery at the worst.

Who said that the ancients had poor insight?!

Shouhan was amazed in his heart.

In the expressions of admiration and amazement of everyone, Shouhan helped Feng Mofeng who was kneeling on the ground, "Mr. Feng," he changed his title, "We Hejing here to grant fields, according to my standards some time ago, it is fifteen acres for each strong man and ten acres for each woman, right?" ”

Everyone nodded yes.

"What do you think if I raised the bar and encouraged people to reclaim the wasteland? The rule of 30 acres for each strong man and 20 acres for each woman, Mr. Feng, will the situation you said still occur? ”

Pushing open the carved wooden window, on the playground in the distance, a strong man who was being trained, holding a spear in his hand, shouted at the commander and the team officer, "To the left, stab!" "To the right, stab!"

Not far away, the group of future security chiefs in the political affairs hall were discussing, "I think the distance between the various security cantonment stations should be limited to a half-day's foot......

"After the New Year, I will order the number of people to be reclaimed with 100 people for every Han and 50 for the Tu people. At that time, the rank would worry that we didn't have enough farming tools. In this case, you have to hurry up and build at least two more furnaces. ”

Knowing that his opinion coincided with that of the general, Feng Mofeng was also happy, but his thoughts immediately thought a little farther.

"My lord, this method is naturally excellent. It's just that if after three or five years, the population is getting bigger and bigger, but the land is not that much, what should we do? ”

"Well, you can rest assured, as long as there is enough food, I will have a way to resettle enough people!"

Joke! In the future, where will the workshops, smelters, and shipyards not require a large number of laborers? A large number of employment opportunities are concentrated in the secondary industry, and the primary industry is dominated by agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery.

(Nearly 5,000 words again.) And in this chapter, the soil technology of the pig's foot destroying the three views appears. In the future, there will be more of these earth technologies. Don't shoot me with a brick, everybody. If you want to shoot, it's best to use weapons of mass destruction such as evaluation votes and recommendation votes. ）
