"Isn't Master Yang not happy because I found a red-haired person to cast a cannon for me?" As soon as Xiao Tianjian entered the house, he immediately asked Yang Changshou. （..)

Yang Changshou just grabbed his butt against the stool, so he quickly jumped up again, hugged his fists and bowed down: "Little don't dare!" ”

"It's not that you don't dare! I don't dare to say! I can see that you're a little unhappy about it! There's nothing to hide in front of me, and you say I'm talking about it, right? Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and asked.

Yang Changshou was a little embarrassed, Xiao Tianjian was observant, so that his little thoughts had nowhere to hide, so he had to nod and replied to Xiao Tianjian: "The general is really sharp-eyed, and he doesn't hide it from the general, and the little one is really not convinced when he learns the news!" The little one also cast a cannon for the government in his early years, but I don't know why the general asked a red-haired ghost to cast a cannon for the general, is it because he can't trust the little ones? ”

Xiao Tianjian smiled, waved his hand for Yang Changshou to sit down and speak, and then said to Yang Changshou: "Then tell me, what cannon have you cast before?" ”

"The small ones used to cast tassel cannons, bowl mouth cannons, copper and iron Furlong machine cannons, and tiger squat cannons!" Yang Changshou replied honestly.

"And how far can you hit these cannons you? How much projectile to hold, and how much gunpowder? Xiao Tianjian then asked.

"The tassel cannon and the bowl mouth cannon are not good, it is good to be able to hit the cannon a hundred steps away, the Furlong machine gun is expensive in changing the gun quickly, and it is not far to fight, needless to say, the tiger squat cannon also knows how far to fight!" Yang Changshou scratched his head and replied.

"So have you ever cast a Hongyi cannon?" Xiao Tianjian didn't say anything, and then asked.

"That's not true, we northern craftsmen have only heard of this Hongyi cannon, some people have seen it, but they haven't cast it! I heard that there is a capable person in the government office in Dengzhou who can make this thing, but how to make it, the small one is not very clear! Yang Changshou replied with some regret.

"Huh! That's why I'm going to use this red-haired man to cast a cannon for me! You have to remember that there must be my division in the threesome, you must know that the Hongyi cannon is cast by their foreign devils, although our craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty will also imitate it, but you people have not been in contact with it, so even if you want to paint a cat and a tiger, you can't! In the case of our current Furlong cannon and Tiger squat cannon, the power is too small, and it is too close, although it is light, but the power is limited!

And this Gao Su is from a family of cannon casters on the foreigner's side, and the cannon he casts is farther and more powerful than the cannon we use, which is exactly what I want! At the same time, this is the reason why I want to use Gao Su to cast cannons for me, you must know that the artillery of foreigners has exceeded the power of our chaotic cannons in this era, don't be unconvinced, you should take the opportunity to see more and learn more, figure out the principle of their cannons, and you can also cast cannons for me when you turn back!

As for whether this Gao Su is blown, whether it is a mule or a horse that comes out to slip away, you don't want to get in the way of him, let him try it first, if he lies to me, then I will drive him away and let you preside over the cannon casting, but now it is what he wants to give him, and he must not stumble on him, so that he can't do it, can you remember? ”

Xiao Tianjian directly said the reason, and gave Yang Changshou a preventive injection, the provincial Yang Changshou was not convinced, secretly stumbling on this Gao Su, so that he could not do things, many Chinese people like to do this, many times some things can not be done, it is precisely because some people in the same industry make trips and consume energy on internal fighting, so Xiao Tianjian will never allow such a thing to occur among his subordinates.

Yang Changshou secretly pinched his sweat and didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction again, because he also knew that Xiao Tianjian was not a stupid person, he was a person he could fool, since he wanted to use Gao Su to cast a cannon, then there must be a reason, so he couldn't be happy about this matter.

So he hurriedly bowed down and nodded: "The little one obeys the order, the little one must do it, and he will never dare to make him stumble in secret, and the little one will see if this foreign devil can succeed, if he is lying to the general, then please ask the general to hand over the matter of casting the cannon to the small one, if he can really cast a good cannon, even if it is to let the small one be his apprentice!" ”

"Good! Just do as you say, you have to remember that we are not an official government here, and it doesn't matter what it doesn't matter, whoever has the ability is a capable person! As long as we work together, we can make a profit!

All right! That's all for this, I've drawn a picture of the three-edged thorns on the top of the bird's gun, you can take it and arrange people to build it according to this, I don't care about how to modify it, this matter is not very urgent at the moment, the most urgent thing at the moment is to build the bird's gun, and before the beginning of spring, to create enough farm tools, this can first let a craftsman grope for a few handles out, try it out, if available, after the beginning of the spring to free up manpower to do this is not in a hurry!

Tell me about your men building birds! Xiao Tianjian took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yang Changshou, and explained it to him.

Yang Changshou took the paper, he was a little suspicious of what Xiao Tianjian did before, as if there was nothing he didn't understand, he and his subordinates thought about it for a long time, and didn't come up with a good way, Xiao Tianjian drew the drawings in just a few days, and let him do it according to this pattern so surely, so that Yang Changshou couldn't accept it a little, after opening it, he immediately accepted defeat, Xiao Tianjian drew it with a few simple strokes, and a short blade jumped on the paper, and the details were also drawn very clearly, the front and side were drawn, It's clear at a glance.

And Yang Changshou just glanced at it, and immediately saw that this short blade that can be hung on the front end of the bird gun is very delicately designed, it can be easily hung on the gun tube, and it does not affect the bird gun to fire, it can also be easily taken down, a small mechanism, it solves the problem they faced before, although it has not been actually built, but Yang Changshou immediately realized that the design of this short blade is much more practical than what they used to do.

So Yang Changshou sighed: "I didn't expect the general to do this!" It's a shame for us people!

The iron work is very busy at the moment, some craftsmen are specializing in building all kinds of farm tools, and now they have to help the carpenter to build some iron nails and rivets and other things. In the middle of spring, we must work overtime to prepare things!

As for the Bird Gun, we are currently building more molds, and as long as we have the molds, the blacksmiths can understand it at a point, and in a month, we can build new types of Bird Guns in large quantities. ”

"If you were to build it with all your might in a month's time, how many bird guns would you be able to build for me every day?" Xiao Tianjian cares about this issue.

"As long as there is a mold for the pipe, the craftsmen learn the craft quickly, with the current craftsmen, it is not a problem to be able to play ten pipes a day, and there will be fewer qualified ones at the beginning, and there will be more and more in the future, and I told the generals that the assembly line method was also told to the subordinates, the big guys think it is a good way, and has arranged for everyone to specialize in building something, and now I am trying to play it!

The key is to drill the top of the pipe, after the pipe is laid, we have to use the drill bit to drill the bore repeatedly, this is all fine work, a person can drill two suitable pipes in a month, so a month, I estimate that I can make a hundred birds, even if it is good! Yang Changshou then told Xiao Tianjian about the production of birds.

Xiao Tianjian frowned, a little dissatisfied, he has invested so much manpower and material resources in the manufacture of bird guns, but at the moment bird guns still can't be mass-produced, a hundred a month, it seems to be a lot, but if you want to replace all the bird guns currently used by the Xingtian Army and equip them with a new type of bird guns, such a cycle will not be possible without more than a year, not to mention that he has to increase the number of equipment of bird guns, this output cannot meet his requirements, but the fact is here, it is useless for him to be anxious, In terms of craftsmanship, he can't interfere, and if he wants to hurry, he can't reach it, and once he rushes too quickly, it may lead to a decline in quality, which will affect the equipment of the new bird gun.

After Xiao Tianjian thought for a while, he said to Yang Changshou: "That's it! I'll follow you to see how to drill the bore! Let's see if we can figure out how to speed things up a bit. ”

After saying that, Xiao Tianjian immediately greeted Gao Su and walked towards Houshan Tiezuo with Yang Changshou.

On the way, he first detoured to the stream, and looked at the dam built from the highest place, hundreds of people, under the dispatch of craftsmen, are busy working here, the construction of the dam is not very difficult, first lead the water to the side, after selecting the address of the dam construction, lay the wooden pile, and then build it with wood, and finally put the stone block by stack, between the stones are filled with marl pebbles, the construction is not difficult, as long as it can provide enough to push the wooden waterwheel work, it is much simpler than the barrage dam, After all, this is with the help of existing terrain transformation, so the difficulty is not great, and the amount of work is not large.

And just a few days, the foundation of the first dam here has basically been completed, according to Zhang Chao said, the first dam will be built within 20 days, there is absolutely no problem, look at the current progress, Zhang Chao has already been discounted, the fastest ten days, the first dam can be basically completed.

And a group of carpenters are also working here to build a waterwheel, Xiao Tianjian took a look, this kind of waterwheel is a vertical wheel-shaped waterwheel, relying on the flow of water to push the blades to rotate, not the kind of waterwheel he wants, such a waterwheel is relatively low, and the power provided is not very strong, so he is not very satisfied with this, but since it is the first time to do it, it is not easy for the craftsmen to do this, Xiao Tianjian did not express any dissatisfaction, but nodded again and again to praise these craftsmen.

But at the same time, he also wrote down this incident, and sighed in his heart that it seemed that he was born to work hard, and it was difficult to take a break here, and the design of this waterwheel seemed to have to be done by himself.

After the people working here saw Xiao Tianjian, they all realized that Xiao Tianjian might be the big boss here, at least he was also quite a person in charge, so they quickly knelt down and saluted Xiao Tianjian.

Among these ordinary people, some of them have already been allocated the fields, just waiting for the spring to burn the wasteland, and then they can farm, and now they are still idle, so they came here to help the Xingtianjun, and by the way, they mixed two full meals, and there are still people who have not yet been allocated to the fields, but they are also willing to come, so that they can save the poor grain at home.

Xiao Tianjian laughed with them while thinking that what he did here in Shuangfeng Village was already considered a cash-for-work to a certain extent, and in this winter, it basically solved the problem of eating thousands of people, and at the same time greatly used the idle labor, which can be regarded as a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

(There are still 60 collections left to be enough for 7,000, and as long as there are 7,000 tomorrow, how about I add another chapter?) ）
