Yang Dun led Qi Mo, Xiong Tuo, Shangguan Zhao and others at the scene to inspect the color change of the riser exposed by the molten iron that had been poured into the mold.

"Masters, how is this method?"

Qi Mo took off the brown sunglasses on his face, and was happy:

"It turned out to be General Wei, what a rare guest."

At this time, Xiong Tuo and Shangguan Zhao surrounded one after another:

"General Wei, this treasure mirror has really helped the old man a lot, can the general sell it to the old man, the old man is willing to buy it with a lot of money." Xiong Tuo said, pointing to the brown sunglasses he had taken off.

With the change of temperature, the eye color of molten iron gradually changes from dark red to red, bright red, orange red, crimson, fiery red, bright white, white and other stages, and heat radiation and high brightness are extremely harmful to the eyes.

In order to observe the temperature of molten iron in the deserted village, Bai Liyan privately refined some glass, added some lead powder to it, and made brown lenses, a total of 30 pairs were made at that time, and eight pairs were damaged one after another.

In the early days, brown glass for medical use was actually brown with the addition of lead. Xiong Tuo and others are all masters of smelting, and they have dealt with molten iron and copper for half their lives, and they suffer from eye diseases.

Hearing that Xiong Tuo wanted to buy it, Bai Liyan waved his hand and said:

"Since Xiong Tuo likes it, take it, and you can refine some more in the next day, in case you need it."

Hearing the news, Xiong Tuo, Shangguan Zhao, Qi Mo and others looked at each other, and Shangguan Zhao asked:

"General Wei, can this thing really be refined?"

Bai Liyan didn't affirm, but said lightly:

"This thing is actually very simple, but it can't be passed on below, and I ask the masters to forgive their sins."

"It's not a hindrance, craftsmanship is the specialty of each family, and we have benefited a lot from being able to see such a superb steelmaking method from General Wei in a few months, how can we ask the general for more, only then did I lose my words and offend the general." Shangguan Zhao bowed deeply.

"Master Shangguan doesn't have to be polite, I came here today to discuss important matters, and it is inconvenient to speak here, so please move to the hall to speak."

In addition to An Kong, Liu Dan, Lu Gao, Zhu Ming and others who are still in Guantangqu, together with Qi Mo and his sons, Xiong Tuo, Shangguan Zhao and others, more than 20 people came from the Ligong faction.

"Master Qi Mo, the new city will be completed at the end of this month, and the preparation for the construction of iron factories and workshops will be carried out one after another, and there can be no delay. However, the method of steelmaking is related to the national capital of Xianguo, and I hope that Qi Mo and the masters will strictly keep secrets, and our Xianguo will also carefully select craftsmen to strictly prevent the steelmaking law from falling into the hands of Xiaoxiao and harming Xianguo. ”

"What General Wei said is extremely true, the Black Turban Army is fierce at the moment, and it will be unimaginable if the steelmaking method falls into the hands of the Black Turban Army." Qi Mo agreed, and Xiong Tuo, Shangguan Zhao and others nodded in agreement.

Bai Liyan turned his gaze to Yang Dun and said:

"Yang Gongzheng, Ben will go on an expedition in the near future, Yang Gongzheng's official position will be submitted by King Xian in person after Ben will return victoriously, and Yang Gongzheng will be asked to wait a little longer."

"I have no intention of going out of the down, I have been smelting iron for half my life, and I can't put it down, and it's nothing to do a job."

Bai Liyan continued:

"Although Gongzheng is the head of the hundred workers, he has no real power, which is not conducive to the management of the workshop, and there is no need to discuss this matter, it will have its own arrangements."

"No, Yang Dun is at the mercy of the general."

In addition, the new workshop is bound to expand dozens or even hundreds of times larger than the scale of the deserted village, and there are no less than 10,000 craftsmen in the steelmaking method and forging, quenching, steel-cladning, carburizing, etc., and the craftsmen in the deserted village should be supervised by the leader, and they must be dedicated to their own duties.

In this matter, Yang Gongzheng must strictly control the pass, and there must be no mistakes, and this order is not among the people sent by the Ligong faction. During the absence, if there is anything inappropriate, Yang Gongzheng should discuss with the masters of the Gong Gong faction before taking attention. Yang Gongzheng can understand. ”

"Under the command."

"Well, Liu Zao, Liu Chuan and his son assisted the master of the Ligong faction and Yang Gongzheng to build a blast furnace after the completion of the new city. The blast furnace is a major matter, a little careless, the consequences are unimaginable, you two must act in accordance with the regulations, not to change the process without permission, but they are all clear. ”

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, my father and son will never dare to be negligent in this matter." Liu Zao assured.

In fact, the early kiln, blast furnace, and refractory clay technology were all processes and technologies separated from pottery and porcelain, and then evolved into another discipline and type of work. With the progress of the times and science and technology, the smelting technology has changed from easy to difficult, and after a long-term process of accumulation and development, it has gradually become systematic and scientific, and finally formed a technological independence and differentiation.

After sorting out all the big and small things, Bailiyan focused on arranging ice making and soap production. The weather is getting hotter, and King Xian urged people to come over two days ago to ask when he can supply cold ice to Chenling, of course, King Xian's money should not be earned, it can be regarded as a free supply.

To this end, Master Ankong excavated a huge ice cellar under the new city, and successively excavated a large number of bunkers according to the requirements of Bailiyan, and repaired the internal structure with bluestone bricks as support, so that people can hide from throwing stones, and secondly, they can also be used to hide goods.

In addition, it is extremely necessary to restore animal husbandry, breed and popularize seedling transplanting, and the poultry and livestock raised in the deserted villages provided a large amount of meat for the early stage of the pioneer camp, boosted morale, provided a large amount of protein, and ensured the nutrition and rehabilitation of the wounded.

Well-equipped is the key to winning or losing a war, and food also determines the strength of morale. In the equal equipment, the generals are comparable, the side with fewer people, the morale is not as good as the side with more people, at this time, if the enemy's food is still better than yours, even if you are the righteous side, no one can go hungry, tighten their belts and carry their heads to fight hard. Although food cannot directly determine the outcome of a war, it can often give a morale boost to one's own side.

For inconspicuous details such as bird blindness, casualties, and return-to-work rates, meat plays a role that cannot be underestimated. Without adequate protein and cholesterol protection, wounds don't even heal well.

It was late at night when everything was arranged, and after the meeting, Bailiyan took the escort to Chunrou and Chunfang's residences. Seeing someone coming in the dark, the young man on duty at night raised the fire and shouted ten paces away:

"Who?"

"It's General Ben!"

Baili Yan said, the young man raised the fire and stepped forward:

"It was General Wei, and his subordinates were rude."

"Well, excuse me."

Bailiyan rolled off the horse and looked at the young man:

"Where is Jiang Jie?"

"General Yu, Jiang Jie took people to check the post outside the backyard."

"Let him come and see me."

"No!"

The young man turned around and left, Bailiyan looked at the courtyard, there were still some lights, thinking that Chunrou and Chunfang had not fallen asleep yet.

After a while, the young man Jiang Jie came with the two of them, and when he saw that it was Bailiyan, Jiang Jie stepped forward and saluted:

"Jiang Jie has seen the general."

"Excuse me Jiang Xiaolang."

"General Xie."

Jiang Jie is fifteen this year, and he is one of the outstanding among many teenagers, in addition to many teenagers, Bailiyan organized them as guards to garrison the second daughter's courtyard, first, to save them from war and have enough time to grow, and secondly, although Jiang Jie and others are young, they have better brains than teenagers of the same age nowadays in all aspects, and they are the seedlings selected and screened out by Bailiyan one by one.

The frequency of wars has put a large number of young people into the battlefield, and they die prematurely before they can grow up.

The lack of knowledge resources also leads to the lack of sufficient education and enlightenment for smart people, so that these people are buried in the vast sea of people.

Nowadays, the establishment of military ranks is relatively chaotic, in addition to the regular military positions such as army commanders, chiefs, centurions, officers, and commanders, there are also miscellaneous formations such as "school lang" and "school army lang".

These miscellaneous personnel also have no salaries and no real power, which is the result of the chaos of the military system. Sometimes there is no suitable military position in the army, so they can only temporarily put forward a name in other names, and after a long time, it has become a routine and custom, and the confusion of the military system made Bailiyan difficult at first.

Those who have merit and brains can't go up, so they can only continue to act as the big head soldiers and rush to kill, resulting in a large number of old soldiers who can only die in battle.

If there is a reasonable promotion and reserve system, a large number of talented people from the bottom of the ranks can be supplemented into the middle and upper ranks, and the surplus can be listed as a reserve and withdrawn from the front-line struggle, filled into the conscription, or served as a staff officer.

Only in this way can we ensure an efficient and energetic leadership system of the armed forces, and even if the entire structure is crippled, as long as the officer ranks and sergeant majors are sound, they can quickly restore their combat strength in a short period of time.

Since there is no early military rank system similar to that of Shang Yang after the reform of the law, most of the middle and lower-level officers below the rank of lieutenant do not have a salary, only such as a reward for military merits, and the purpose of being a soldier is to eat, which is difficult to motivate.

The same is true for civil officials, there is no nine-grade system, and the official position depends on the level. Although there are suggestions to change the law to promote the new military rank system, behind the new law is still the support of national strength and the interests of the aristocracy.

Especially at the moment, if too many official vows cannot be fulfilled, their bad effects will be fatal to morale.

In the same way, if we can have sufficient national strength, the implementation of the military function promotion system will not only be able to unite our own internal strength, but will also have a great impact on other countries.

Imagine that even the commander of the army can rely on the salary to support most of the family, and if the soldier can kill the enemy without selling his life, how will the enemy sergeant and the middle and lower-level military attachés think, when the recruitment of talented people will be recruited, and the recruitment order of the capable will not be rejected all over the Central Plains, and why worry that the world's capable people and people will not be used for themselves.

Jiang Jie and the others are carefully selected young men in the Bailiyan campaign, although they are young, they are not lacking in brains. Stationed in Wang's Village, Yang Dun will come to teach them to read and read in their free time, and teach them some common sense in machine building to broaden their horizons.

In the next two years, Bai Liyan plans to open a martial arts lecture hall, focusing on the selection of outstanding generals and potential soldiers, and teaching the art of war and the art of martial arts.

The so-called "Gewu" is both scientific and first seen in the Confucian doctrine of Confucius. Confucius was the founder of Confucianism and an early thinker who focused on scientific progress. A large number of Gewuxue records the achievements of a hundred craftsmen in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but after Qin unified China, Gewuxue was not passed on to later generations.

It is believed that it was because of the fact that there were a large number of natural techniques that could not be recognized at the time, and Qin Shi Huang was included in the category of spreading heresy and destroyed in the book burning pit.

As a result, China's scientific and technological thinking was greatly attacked in the late Qin Dynasty, which had a profound impact on the technological process of the whole of China.

The fundamental reason why the Black Turban Army was able to sweep the Central Plains was that the people of the time lacked sufficient understanding of nature and science and technology, and a chemical phenomenon could be easily interpreted as the divine will of God, which eventually led to a mutiny in the army.

It is imperative to popularize the necessity of Gewuxue and a certain basic education, the fundamental and social stability of human resources is education, without education, no matter how many people can only engage in low-level production, and whether generals can have the ability to unify the army, often depends on how the art of war is used, in fact, behind the proficiency of the art of war, is a set of strict logical thinking and technical cognition, which can also enhance people's cognitive vision and exercise their thinking and logical ability by imparting common sense of things.
