Chapter 21: The First Craftsman (I)

Gao Peng walked away. Originally www.biquge.info Sun Tianhao volunteered to return to Qiongzhou with Gao Pengju, but after discussion, the committee vetoed it, although business is important, safety is always the first. When Gao Peng lifted it away, he carefully took the mirror away, but left a family member and Lin Chao and Lu Xing.

After reaching a business agreement with Gao Pengju, the scientific research team seized the time to develop iron smelting furnaces, cement and glass processes. As for whether he can take out the goods that Gao Pengju needs when the time comes, this Fan Qiuming is not worried, because Sun Tianhao will always have a way to fool that Ming Dynasty person again, even if he can't fool him, the black cauldron will also be carried by Sun Tianhao.

The black cauldron was carried by Sun Tianhao, but the crucible made it difficult for Fan Qiuming. A series of methods for smelting iron and steelmaking proposed by the research group were all rejected by the committee, what a joke, according to their proposal, it cannot be done without the support of a complete set of industrial systems. In the end, the committee decided to build an earthen blast furnace for making steel by soil method before Gao Peng brought in pig iron, and wait for the materials to be put into the pot.

Xu Lang almost fainted, earth method steelmaking? Do you think it's that crazy era, is it called steel? The science and technology group came forward to explain, in fact, the soil method of steelmaking is not completely impossible, until the original era of the traverser, there are still many small workshops using the soil method of steelmaking, but the soil method of steelmaking is seriously polluted, the waste of raw materials is great, and the yield is very low, but now these are not problems, the problem is to make steel as soon as possible, with steel will have the foundation of modern industry. In Sun Guodong's words, it is to try, and if you don't try, you don't know if it will work.

A few days later, Liang Chengdong and Gu Yunkun's agricultural team returned. Liang Chengdong made an overall plan for the paddy fields in Lizhai, planted some rice, and explained the problem of fertilization. The next time I go again, I will have to wait until the rice heading, Liang Chengdong brought back some grain and cattle, but Gu Yunkun's iron ore exploration still has not made much progress.

Ye Sun Quan struggled to push the wheelbarrow on the rugged mountain road, followed by Lao Fo Luo and his three sons, Ye Da, Ye Er, and Ye San. Lao Buddha is the meaning of Hainan wife. Roche was also holding a 6 or 7-year-old girl in his hands, their only daughter Ye Mi, and a nursing child in her arms.

Ye Sunquan wiped his sweat and asked Ding Laosan, who was walking in front of him; "Third brother, how far can I get there, it's been almost 2 days."

"Soon, I'll be there today." Ding Laosan also wiped his sweat, "This ghost weather is still so hot." ”

Ye Sunquan is Ding Laosan's aunt and cousin, just 30 years old this year, and was originally a military craftsman in Fujian. In the Ming Dynasty, the artisan households and military households should be inherited from generation to generation, and in order to facilitate the deduction, they are not allowed to divide the households. If the craftsman and military registration want to break away from the original household registration, it is necessary to obtain the special approval of the emperor, and the craftsman and military registration are not allowed to take the test to be among the scholars. The labor of the artisan households was unpaid, and from the 41st year of Jiajing, all shift craftsmen were levied silver, and the government hired workers in silver. In this way, artisans were free to engage in industry and commerce, and their personal restraints were greatly weakened. But now it is the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the artisan households are collecting more and more silver, and an ordinary family can't afford it at all, causing a large number of artisan households to flee. At present, piracy is rampant in Fujian, and Zheng Zhilong is very happy to fight with Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin, and Liu Xiang after accepting the Ming Dynasty's recruitment. Ye Sunquan couldn't stay in his hometown anymore, so he took his family to Yazhou to join his cousin Ding Laosan.

This Ye Sun Quan has little ability to make money, but the belly of the Buddha is angry, and the children are born one after another. Originally, it was a lot of blessings for many sons, but Ye Sunquan was not yet able to enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren, seeing that Ye Da and other three sons were growing up day by day, and half of the eldest son was eating Lao Tzu to death, Ye Sunquan was busy with the seven mouths of the whole family every day, but he couldn't even mix food and clothing. This time, Ding Laosan went back to tell him about Yulin Bay to recruit workers, Ye Sunquan was stunned for a long time and couldn't believe it, the whole family was in charge of eating and living, a meal of meat for 5 days, and a monthly amount of 1 silver money, this is the ancestor appeared or the sun came out in the west.

Not only did Ding Laosan swear and pat his chest and promise, even Li Shuang, who has always had a high prestige, asked from door to door, and the people who went, regardless of men, women, old and young, first paid 5 cents of silver according to their hair, and even Ye Sunquan's children who were still nursing also had a share. Ye Sunquan put his heart on the side, packed up his belongings, but in fact, there was nothing to tidy up, and took his family to follow Li Shuang to Yulin Bay.

This time, under the stimulation of silver, Li Shuang recruited a total of more than 50 people, and more than 20 dragged their families, plus Li Shuang's subordinates, a group of more than 100 people pushed carts, carrying grain, ironware, and cotton cloth and slowly marched to Yulin Bay. Li Shuang took out all his family resources this time. Since Xu Lang promised to hand over all the refined salt in the entire Qiongzhou to him for distribution, he reciprocated the favor and bought a large number of things needed in Yulin Bay. It's just that for Xu Lang's title of commissioner, Li Shuang still hasn't figured out how big an official is, but at least it should be bigger than the general manager.

I saw the earthen wall of Yulin Bay from a distance, and it seemed to be a little taller. Ding Laosan stopped, turned around and said to Ye Sunquan: "It's here, it's inside the earthen wall." ”

"It's done." Ye Sunquan stopped the wheelbarrow, sat on the ground, unbuttoned his coat, and fanned it flickering.

"Get up, get up." Ding Laosan stepped forward and kicked him, "The front has just arrived, and it hasn't arrived yet." ”

After Xu Lang and Zhang Hai heard the sentry's report, they came to the gate early to greet Li Shuang.

"Brother Li, we're meeting again."

"Huh. Brother Xu, Brother Zhang, don't come unharmed. ”

"Brother Li." Xu Lang pointed to the crowd behind him, "You recruited all of this?" ”

"Yes, Li has done his best this time."

Xu Lang's eyes were attracted by Ye Sunquan's family. This family, isn't this the entire superborn guerrilla, this will be placed in the future generations, I am afraid that it will be punished for bankruptcy.

Xu Lang walked over to Ye Sunquan, Ye Sunquan's legs trembled a little, "This is the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty that the third brother said?" This looks like a person from the Song Dynasty. This clothes, this hair. Although Ye Sunquan doesn't know a single big character, he also knows the truth of people's hair and skin.

Xu Lang patted Ye Sunquan's shoulder, and just about to say something, Ye Sunquan's legs were weak, and he fell to the ground with a plop: "The grass people knock to see the master." ”

As soon as Ye Sunquan knelt like this, the people behind him, except for Li Shuang's subordinates, all knelt on the ground in an uproar, and their bows rose and fell to each other. Xu Lang frowned, and hurriedly pulled Ye Sunquan up: "All up, all up." I don't bow down in Yulin Bay. Not only do you not have to kneel today, but you will not need to kneel when you see anyone in the future. Remember, the man has gold under his knees, and he only kneels to heaven and earth with his mother. ”

Zhang Hai couldn't help but burst out laughing: "This Xu Lang, there is nothing to say." ”

It was getting late, because there was no quarantine and inspection, Li Shuang's people temporarily camped outside the earthen wall for one night, and Xu Lang and Zhang Hai also accompanied Li Shuang to live outside.

Dinner was delivered in Yulin Bay, and it was actually white rice and broth without any grains, which surprised these first-time visitors to Yulin Bay. After several trades in Yulin Bay these days, the grain problem has been quite alleviated, and today another cow that was driven back from Liangchengdong was killed, and the dozen or so pigs were already eaten. In order to get these newcomers into their roles as soon as possible, the committee specially arranged for Ming women from the garment group to bring them food.

Roche grabbed a woman who was feeding her and asked, "You eat this every day?" Is it enough? ”

Although she had only come a few days earlier than Roche, the woman still looked like an old man: "The meals are all the same, the meat is once every five days, and sometimes there are fish, not enough to add more, but not to waste." ”

"My mother is here, even the emperor can't eat it." Luo opened his mouth wide, turned his head to Ye Sunquan, who was bored and grilled rice, and said, "Dad, we're here for the right time." ”

Ye Da took the bowl and looked at Sun Jiayi's clothes strangely, why did this dress be sewn up and down, how to wear it?

Sun Jiayi was wearing a modern dress sewn by He Yun himself, He Yun now treats Sun Jiayi as his granddaughter, and even hugs her when he sleeps, which saves Sun Tianhao a lot of things.

Sun Jiayi knocked Ye Da's head with a rice spoon: "What's your name, why do you look at me like this?" ”

"I, my name is Ye Da." Ye Da touched his head and smirked, and stretched the bowl back again, "I still want to eat another bowl." ”

"No, you've eaten 3 bowls, and if you eat it again, you'll be broken." According to Dr. Ouyang's request, although it is enough, it is not possible to let these people eat too much at once, if they die before they enter Yulin Bay, it will be a big trouble.

Sun Jiayi looked at Ye Da, who was a little disappointed, and said comfortingly: "Let's eat again tomorrow morning, there is breakfast." ”

"Have dinner in the morning?" Ye Da felt that this place was so good, and he actually ate in the morning.

"Jiayi." Zhang Hai called Sun Jiayi in the distance.

"Hey." Sun Jiayi threw down Ye Da and ran towards Zhang Hai, "Brother Zhang is good, Uncle Xu is good, Uncle Li is good." Sun Jiayi greeted them one by one.

"Xiao Jiayi is beautiful again." Zhang Hai took Sun Jiayi's hand and said, this little girl has now become the darling of several of them, "Why aren't you with your grandmother and brother, why are you coming out?" ”

"Grandma and my brother are busy, I'm fine, my brother asked me to come out and help."

Ye Da looked at Sun Jiayi's back: "It turns out that her name is Jiayi." ”
