The society of the Song Dynasty was equal, clear, and orderly, even if it was the prime minister, if it was unreasonable, it was also impossible to bully a commoner at will, in such a society, the ordinary people of the Daimyo Mansion could feel that their social rights had been greatly improved, no matter which official you are, touch me and try it, see if I don't sue you until ...... The appearance of Xu Deshan.

Xu Deshan is like a spoiler, suddenly disrupting the existing stable order of the Great Song Dynasty society, as the hottest young talent in the Daimyo Mansion now, he was favored by Jia Changchao Minghao, the top high-ranking official of the Daimyo Mansion, holding the power of the heavens, unscrupulous in the Daimyo Mansion, and Xu Deshan still has money, the 50,000 taels of silver allocated by Jia Changchao are enough for Xu Deshan to toss in the Daimyo Mansion, and most importantly, Xu Deshan is smart, he can easily play with the existing rules in the palm of his hand, This is called people who live and are accustomed to living under the existing rules, and they can't keep up with Xu Deshan's rhythm at all, and they can't say anything in their hearts.

Now I hate Xu Deshan the most, the horror is those workers who want to get rid of the Terracotta Division, I only saw that the Terracotta Division has a cheap place to take advantage of, so I signed and drew on the paper, where do I know that on the paper, there are still such things, and I didn't expect that the price of labor in the Daimyo Mansion has risen so much.

Now those workers want to quit, it's not impossible, but there are a few steps here, the first is to pay the cost of the procedure of 30 yuan, which is also quite simple, after all, according to the current market, 30 yuan, it is just a matter of two days of work, and most people can still accept it.

But this is not the end, next, the workers have to go to the Pi Pi who recruited them again, and ask the Pi Pi to get back the head money that he took from the Terracotta Division, the first ten cents per person, so that he can take his deed of sale from the Terracotta Division.

This step seems simple, but it can stump most people, what kind of person is the splash, if you can get the money back in your hand, he is not called splashing, this worker wants to quit, called splashing back the money, how can the splashing skin give up, the light is clever words and temptations, the heavy is threats and intimidation, anyway, no matter what, you have to keep the money in your pocket.

The worker is a single person and it is good to say, if he has a family, just these two, it is enough for him not to dare to move, honestly work for Xu Deshan, this cannot be said that Xu Deshan is ruthless and unrighteous, every worker here is a skilled worker trained by his painstaking efforts, if he leaves easily, there is no loss on the surface, but the loss caused by efficiency behind the scenes is not generally huge, if some harsh conditions are not set, Xu Deshan does not have the confidence to control the team of thousands of people.

Of course, among the workers, there are those who accept their fate, and there are those who dare to resist, those who can't resist the temptation of the outside world, can't stand the life of going out early and returning late, overcame all kinds of difficulties, and finally left the Terracotta Division, and there are people outside who envy the welfare of the Terracotta Division, work steadily, and continue to join in.

The market is the market, he does not take anyone's will as the transfer, even if Xu Deshan is in the huge market, it also seems very small, the labor market of the Daimyo Mansion, with the flow of personnel in and out of the Terracotta Division, finally became a balance, this balance is the balance between the market needs and the labor force, when the outside wages and the wages given by the Terracotta Division are about the same, the Terracotta Division workers have been mobile several times, and they have gradually been fixed and began to produce steadily.

Don't doubt Xu Deshan's ability, after Xu Deshan carefully studied the manufacturing process, parts and structures of the existing ordnance, Xu Deshan decomposed and combined the process, and then improved it slightly, and it became the current assembly line operation of the workers.

After the work on this side was on the right track, Xu Deshan's focus shifted to the other side, the casting office.

These workers recruited now are only manufacturing some simple ordnance, such as leather armor spears, etc., and Xu Deshan and Jia Changchao have been blowing bows and arrows for a long time, but they have not started construction at all, because Xu Deshan is waiting, waiting for the transformation of the blast furnace he designed is completed, only by verifying the performance of the steel smelted by such a blast furnace, Xu Deshan can determine how his next plan will be carried out.

The manufacturing of the blast furnace, the progress is not optimistic, Xu Deshan said simply, as long as a few parts can be changed on the original blast furnace, but this is a blast furnace for steelmaking, want to transform, where is it so simple, this is not like a pinched sugar man, what is missing to do a put on it and stick it yourself, this is steel, the maximum temperature can reach hundreds of nearly 1,000 degrees, Xu Deshan pointed out those parts, want to transform can only be recast, some casting can be installed, but some casting, but found that no matter what, the installation is not in place, Either the size is poor, or the safety is not in place, and the main body needs to be recast together.

When it comes to the specific implementation stage, Xu Deshan can not help much, he can only give the craftsmen ideas in theory, but what the specific blast furnace can be made of, or the craftsmen should decide according to the actual situation, Xu Deshan has done a good job in this regard, and has not restricted the craftsmen to play freely under the condition of ensuring that the performance of the blast furnace is not reduced.

This blast furnace, which is full of the hopes of countless people, has finally been perfected little by little in theory and practice.

In the end, after tossing a few back and forth, the entire blast furnace was finally finalized, compared with the initial expectation, the appearance was not much worse, but it was said that it was a transformation, in fact, almost all of it was completed by new casting, and the cost was almost doubled compared to building an old steelmaking furnace, and the time was several more than expected.

However, the benefits of this are also obvious, not only Xu Deshan has increased his practical work experience in these days, but also the craftsmen who lead the blast furnace casting have completely understood the structure and principle of the blast furnace, and the next time there is no Xu Deshan here, they can also cast the blast furnace.

Then, it is time to start the furnace steelmaking, the first furnace steel, the most important, is to test the performance of the blast furnace, but also to prove Xu Deshan's authority, Xu Deshan took out half a day to train craftsmen in the principles and skills of steelmaking.

Of course, what Xu Deshan said is also a theory, but after a few days of study, these craftsmen have been able to understand what is iron and what is steel, and they have also combined their own practical work experience to apply Xu Deshan's theory to this steelmaking.

Finally, the blast furnace began to heat up, not only Xu Deshan was looking forward to it at the scene, but even Jia Chang Chaoming Ho also came to the casting place to witness with his own eyes what the blast furnace praised by Xu Deshan was.

The process of steelmaking is boring, Xu Deshan sweats like rain in front of the blast furnace, checking the situation, and the two bigwigs are much more harmonious, in the only few small houses in the foundry, boiling water, boiling tea, chatting about idle days, being able to stand in this position, not to mention that there is still a topic now, even if they meet every day, there is nothing to say, it is completely nonsense, and it can be withdrawn for half a day.

It's easier at noon, the wine and dishes are set on a table, the two eat slowly, drink slowly, the afternoon will pass again, rest for a while, and it's time for dinner, according to the specifications of noon, the two will come to the table again, look at the meaning of the two, anyway, it's time to go to work, to have such a good reason not to go to work, paid drinking, nothing is more wonderful than this.

Finally, with a cheer from Xu Deshan outside, a red light flashed in the dark night sky, this red light went straight to the sky, sweeping away the darkness, and between a sputtering spark, the hot molten steel was poured into different molds, and then, the sound of the hammer constantly beating, forming, and soaking in water and cooling was endless.

A big guy like Jia Changchao and Ming Hao, being able to stoop down to a small yamen like the casting place is already a supreme honor for them, where can they go out and cheer with the outside, wouldn't it be too faceless, so even if the hearts of the two of them have drifted outside, they all sat on the chair together, and ate without a bite.

Fortunately, Xu Deshan didn't ask them to wait too long, only to see Xu Deshan, in a hurry, kicked open the door and broke in, still holding a short sword in his hand.

Jia Chang had no heart to blame Xu Deshan for his rudeness, and the two asked eagerly, "How is the new steel?" ”

Xu Deshan did not speak, but raised the short sword in his hand and asked Jia Changchao and Ming Ho to watch carefully.

The sage taught that the six arts of the gentleman, this sword technique, is also one of them, the Tang Dynasty poet immortal Li Bai, there is a legend of the sword to the end of the world, Jia Changchao is also a gentleman, also has status, also has money, how can there be no little study of the sword, let alone the Ming pickaxe, all day long with all kinds of weapons, the sword can not be familiar with the master.

The two took the sword in Xu Deshan's hand, and looked at it carefully, only to see that the sword was silver and translucent, and the cold was pressing through the light, Ming Ho picked up the sword and slashed at the corner of the table, and the corner of the table fell off in response, and the sword was unscathed.

Sharpening iron is like clay, this is the most basic condition for a sword to be called a treasure, but in addition to this, Jia Chang turned over and over again towards Ming Hao, and he was not able to find anything more special on the sword.

I have to say that Jia Changchao and Ming Ho were a little disappointed with this sword, because Xu Deshan boasted about how good his steel was, but the sword he created looked just like that, it was not unique, nor was it amazing, in general, it was a very ordinary feeling, and it was even a distance away from the peerless divine weapons he had been in contact with.

Jia Changchao pondered for a moment, hesitating how to express his death to the sword, and not to discourage Xu Deshan's enthusiasm, Ming Ho was direct, and said, "Xu Deshan, this is the sword you made for five thousand taels of silver?" Any one in my house is better than yours. ”

Xu Deshan knew what the two adults meant, nodded, didn't speak, ran out directly, and after a while, took an old-style saber, asked for the sword he cast, picked it up, blade to blade, directly cut it, after a burst of sparks, and then look at the result, Xu Deshan's sword cast, left a small gap on the blade, and the old iron sword, was cut a gap that reached about one-third of the entire sword body.

The effect was obvious, but Myeongho still snorted coldly, "So what? ”

Xu Deshan is still

Without speaking, he pulled the two adults to the window, and then looked outside, in the open space, dozens of swords that were the same as those in Xu Deshan's hands had been piled up, the silver-white body of the sword, reflecting the light of the blast furnace torch, was extremely bright and dazzling, and the craftsman next to him was still holding the swords and throwing them together as if they were rags, piling up more and more.

To tell the truth, Jia Changchao and Ming Ho are a little distressed now, the sword that Xu Deshan took, although it can't be compared with the peerless divine weapons collected by the two, but when it is placed on the market, it can be sold for a price of dozens or hundreds of taels casually, and it is still priceless, if ordinary people get one, they can take it out and show it off, as a family heirloom, and in front of them, these swords are thrown on the ground as if they don't want money, as Jia Changchao Ming Ho, who has been educated to love swords as himself since childhood, suddenly felt that it was not applicable for a while.

At the same time, Jia Changchao and Ming Ho also understood Xu Deshan's intentions, Xu Deshan made swords, not for himself to take to the house to collect, the swords made by others are really for front-line soldiers, and those who really equip the troops are to be mass-produced, and take a look at the comparison between the new sword and the old sword before, think about the power that such equipment can play on the battlefield, Jia Changchao Ming Ho has to admit that Xu Deshan really made a big scene this time.

By this time, Xu Deshan had already painted half of the pie for Jia Changchao, and Xu Deshan had no time to celebrate, so he arranged for craftsmen to continue to produce the next blast furnace, and on the other hand, according to the quality of steel, began to design the structural parts of bows and arrows, and assigned strong workers from the Ordnance Department to learn how to cast iron from craftsmen.

Everything here is going on in an orderly manner, Jia Changchao wrote the news of the success of the new steel refining into a fold and reported it to Zhao Zhen, while increasing the allocation of Xu Deshan, as long as Xu Deshan used the money, Jia Changchao never said a word, and even planned to double the amount of the original ordnance production, and asked the Song army to renovate the equipment as soon as possible.

And when many things were in full swing in the Daimyo's mansion, in a tent in the Xuanyi Army in the north hundred miles, a meeting was secretly carried out, headed by a person, with a white face and beard, eagle eyes and hooked nose, a rare appearance among the northerners, it was Wang Ze, the leader of Maitreya Buddhism, and his two subordinates, sitting on Wang Ze's right-hand man, Zhang Luan, Bu Ji.

The three of them sat together, Wang Ze's face was solemn, his heart was heavy, and he couldn't stop sighing, while Zhang Luan looked resolute and persuaded Wang Zedao, "Sect Master, since the letter has been leaked, what are we waiting for, if the letter falls into the hands of the government, and the forbidden army surrounds and kills it, let's make plans again, but it's already too late." ”

Bu Ji also said, "Sect Master, since we have already planned the uprising, but we have been delaying, and now that the secret is leaked, it is also the will of God, we might as well take this opportunity to rise up, with the current strength of our sect, we may not be afraid of the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty." ”

Wang Ze was silent, and only then did he say for a long time, "Now that the general trend of my religion has been achieved, I have to rebel, but this rebellion is a big deal, once the situation rises, the Kaifeng forbidden army will swarm in, hundreds of thousands of giants, so how can we resist?" ”

Zhang Luan said, "Sect Leader Hugh wants to grow their ambition and extinguish their prestige, the forbidden army has long been war-free, and it can have some combat effectiveness, not to mention hundreds of thousands, even if it is a million, it is a waste when it comes, and we have now controlled the Five Route Army Town, all of them are elite soldiers in a hundred battles, once the momentum rises, echoing each other from afar, even if the forbidden army comes, it is not easy to use." ”

Wang Zedao "This is also what I am most worried about, our forces are weak, if we want to become a momentum, we must gather all forces together, in order to have the strength of a battle with the forbidden army, but before the agreement with all roads, it was in the first month of the month, and now we have encountered this change, if we suddenly rise to the momentum, all roads can't respond, we will have to fight alone, and we will definitely lose." ”

Bu Ji shook his head and said, "There is no way to do it, the letter is lost, and I don't know who it is, if he is greedy for money, it will be enough, the rich man has paid five thousand taels of silver, and the man did not return the letter, but I am afraid that he will send the letter to the Daimyo's Mansion or even Kaifeng Mansion, and now the imperial court is calculating how to get rid of us, the guards are on the way, and it is too late to agree with each other, if it is the opposite, there may be a glimmer of life, if it is not reversed, it will definitely die." ”

Zhang Luan sighed and said, "If we have a dark line in the Daimyo's Mansion, how can we be so passive." ”

Wang Zedao: "It's useless to talk too much about this matter, let's discuss what should happen now." ”

Zhang Luan Buji said in unison, "There is no other way to wait, except for rebellion, there is no other way." ”

The king thought for a long time, nodded and said, "In this case, you two go and gather the leaders of my camp and ambush them to the left and right of the handsome hall, and I will go to meet the commander and say that he has something important to ask for a meeting, and when he gathers all the generals and listens to my order, you will lead people to rush in and kill them, and if there are any more people in the army who do not obey the order, they will be slaughtered together." ”

Zhang Luan Buji said: "Obey the holy order of the sect leader. ”

Wang Zedao: "You two are the elders who started with me, if I am the emperor, I will definitely not treat you badly, you two are my prime minister's privy envoys, one left and one right, to help me conquer the world and seize the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhang Luan Buji's eyes were happy, and he knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live." ”
