Song Pengfei wanted to show Qin Liangyu the cuirass, and told the old lady that Huang Shoubei was going to give General Qin and his brother Ma Xianglin, sister-in-law Zhang Fengyi, sister Qin Yanyi, and others each with a pair of such "treasure armor".

In this era, the generals all pursue protection, and the thirst for strong armor is endless, and the gift that Huang Han gave to the generals of the white pole soldiers should be able to make them happy in their hearts.

Now the dozens of skilled blacksmith masters who work for the Huang family are all radiant, without him, and the spirit of wealth is long.

Because Huang Han believed that the great craftsmen were one of the elites of the Han nation, and that they would be the mainstay of the Industrial Revolution in the future, it was indispensable to give them generous remuneration.

Nowadays, many master craftsmen have received a monthly salary that exceeds that of the knights of the "Red Banner Army", and they can get an average of three taels of silver and five buckets of wheat a month.

Sure enough, the effort will be rewarded, and the craftsmen who were always bullied in the past received the courtesy of Huang Han and also received a considerable income, and these people were grateful.

They spare no effort in their work, and will take the initiative to consider the head of the family everywhere, for fear that the blacksmiths who have taken more than double the remuneration of other blacksmith shops will be overwhelmed, and finally the head of the family will lose their money and make ends meet, and finally make them lose such a good job opportunity.

Xu Guangqi played a huge role in the whole process of steelmaking, he knew many officials of the Ministry of Industry with professional knowledge, and these people came forward to recruit skilled furnace workers and blacksmiths, and now the small blast furnace built in Kaiping Town should be well deserved to lead the world.

In this era, there was no way to judge the material of steel by chemical analysis, and it was only possible to rely on experienced blacksmiths to roughly determine the use of steel by bending and hammering.

Limestone and dolomite were used as ironmaking solvents in the Song Dynasty, and the blacksmiths of the Ming Dynasty had mastered many tricks, marking each furnace of steel with different solvents, and then deciding on the use of steel.

Huang Han had already recruited a lot of blacksmith masters in Zunhua, and Xu Guangqi used his connections to transfer dozens of blacksmiths who could judge the material.

As a result, expert Huang Han spent time in the blacksmith group all day long, believing that it would not be long before a steelmaking operation specification adapted to this era would be completed.

Next, Huang Han will also formulate material judgment methods and implementation standards, although compared with the standards of later generations is unsatisfactory like child's play, but it is better than nothing!

In order to give full play to the huge advantage of coal resources, brick kilns, ceramic kilns, lime kilns, cement kilns, and glazed kilns in Kaiping area are all in full production.

Because Huang Han waved his hand, as long as the workers completed the production tasks with quality and quantity, they would be paid, and whether they could be sold did not need to be pondered by the person in charge of the kiln.

Huang Han believes that sales is a profession, of course, there must be a professional team, and now lime, cement, bricks and tiles are in short supply, and the construction materials in their own system are not satisfied, where do we need to consider sales?

Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin have been resting in Yongping Mansion for more than a month, and there has just been gossip that the imperial court may send 7,000 white pole soldiers to garrison Shanhaiguan.

The white pole soldiers were one of the most loyal armies in the late Ming Dynasty, and the generals had no one to bargain with the imperial court, they were all packing up, and once the imperial court order was issued, they would lead 7,000 troops to march immediately.

When Qin Liangyu saw Song Pengfei, he was immediately attracted by the cuirass on his body, the old lady had a soft spot for armor and swords after a long time in battle.

Song Pengfei turned around three times in front of Qin Liangyu and showed his outfit generously, and then said:

"General Qin, the all-steel cuirass on the humble body was designed by the master himself, not only is it comfortable to wear but also much lighter than the ordinary iron armor, but the strength is also much beyond the ordinary iron armor, after we have tested it many times, it is difficult to penetrate the bow and shoot directly at thirty steps."

Qin Liangyu exclaimed: "It's really a good thing, Song always wears it on his body very well, and he looks very spiritual." ”

"The humble job is specially worn for you to see, the master said, if you look at it, I will tailor a pair for you."

Knowing that Huang Han was going to give her such a good armor, Qin Liangyu was really happy, and said with a smile: "Huang Shoubei is too polite, how can the old body be embarrassed to accept this gift for no reason?" ”

"The master said that General Qin has worked hard for the country and deserves the best armor and the sharpest weapons."

Qin Liangyu was even happier when he heard these compliments, and said happily: "You kid is really good at talking, okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Ma Xianglin, who was next to him, was unhappy, and said angrily: "Xiao Song, didn't your master think about his righteous brother?" ”

Song Pengfei hurriedly said: "How can it! General Ma and his sister-in-law, Qin Yanyi's sister and Qin Yiming, Qin Gongming's two elder brothers, will have them. ”

Ma Xianglin finally showed a smile and said, "It's pretty much the same." He suddenly felt that something was wrong again, and asked Song Pengfei: "Do you have any rules, you kid, you are a junior!" Why is it neither big nor small, and the brothers and sisters are still affectionate? ”

Song Pengfei blushed a little, Zhang Fengyi smiled and said: "Husband, let's let Xiao Song call it like this, the two or three thousand people of the 'Red Flag Army' are all disciples of Huang Shoubei, and many of them are his uncles, people are not more serious, why do you have a clear eye?" ”

After that, she told Song Pengfei about marrying Huang Han's sister as his wife.

Ma Xianglin laughed and said: "What kind of system is this, it's messy, isn't it all messed up, hahaha......"

Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin both knew that the cuirass was tailor-made, and Song Pengfei's purpose was to prepare to take the size back, and they were about to leave Yongping, and they both wanted to go to Kaiping to see Huang Han at this time.

Therefore, Song Pengfei did not bring back the size, but brought back the big living person.

Qin Liangyu and the following six white pole soldiers and twenty female soldiers came to Kaiping Town as an entourage, and on the way they found that this hot land was full of life, and there were no homeless people and beggars, and passers-by were in a hurry.

When you enter the city, you will find a bustling place, with pedestrians on the streets, shops full of goods, and the shouts of merchants and vendors.

What surprised Qin Liangyu the most was that the road was clean, and then Qin Liangyu finally understood why when they entered the city, they were asked to put a bag on the back of the horse's butt to catch the horse manure, what a terrible scenery it would be if the street was full of horse manure and eggs.

Qin Liangyu said to Ma Xianglin: "I didn't expect that Huang Garrison would go on the horse to manage the army, and lead the army of tigers and wolves to charge into battle and make many achievements. Get off the horse and manage the people, a large town of tens of thousands of people is not only orderly but also prosperous, what a talent! ”

In fact, this is nothing, more than 100,000 people have been employed, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of families have income, and the common people have more or less some silver in their pockets, of course, it will form purchasing power and naturally promote the development of commodity economy, and it is natural that Kaiping Town is prosperous.

Ma Xianglin said: "Mother is so right, Brother Huang Xian is indeed not simple. It's not just a lot of people here, but the most comfortable thing is that the people who come and go are full of eyes and energy, and they don't look like disaster victims at all. ”

Qin Liangyu sighed: "Rao is like this, I really can't imagine that so many homeless people will come to Kaiping, and they will be quietly placed by Huang Shoubei, I really don't know how he did it." ”

Seeing that her mother-in-law and husband were praising Huang Han, Zhang Fengyi peeked at Qin Yanyi and found that she was preoccupied, and couldn't help but sigh.
