Li Zhi became a relative, and the newlywed Yan'er and Cui He were like glue, and they did not separate for a honeymoon. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn March, the peach blossoms bloomed, the thick padded jacket was taken off, and Li Zhi returned to work.

Li Zhi first went to the rifle workshop to check it out.

Li Zhi asked his second uncle Li Dao to manage the rifle workshop, and he managed it well. It has been seven months since the rifle workshop mass-produced Mini rifles, and more than 60 gunsmiths have produced more than 400 Mini rifles in these seven months. Not only that, but the vast majority of the one hundred and thirty blacksmiths who had been apprenticed had already gone out and made the first batch of one hundred and twenty-seven qualified rifles.

After the new craftsmen came out, their monthly money changed from two taels to three taels, and three of the reward money for each rifle after one tael was made went to the old craftsman master, and the remaining seven dollars belonged to themselves. Now that they have made money, the new gunsmiths are very excited and work very hard. Not to mention the old craftsmen, the monthly money plus the reward silver is four taels or six dollars a month, which is already a wealthy family in this era, and they are also very careful when they work.

These artisans produce one Mini rifle per month. Each rifle is tested with four times the gunpowder before leaving the factory, and the quality is very reliable. Li Zhi used these rifles to equip four companies with 500 people, and let the soldiers of the company practice shooting on the shooting range every day, striving to become qualified riflemen as quickly as possible.

Other units that did not have their rifles continued to train in combat, in parades, and in the field.

Li Zhi went to the artillery workshop again to check it out.

In the past two months, the artillery workshop has been exploring the manufacture of iron-core copper cannons, and the gunsmiths have mastered the trick of combining the two metals, and the six-pounder cannon requested by Li Zhi has been preliminarily cast. Not to mention the 900-pound experimental artillery, it was completely qualified after inspection. The 800-pound qualified cannon was also cast, and no cracks were found in a hundred shots intermittently, and it was 100 catties lighter than the Mining light cannon of this era.

However, the gunsmiths felt that the potential of the iron-core copper cannon could still be tapped, and prepared to further reduce the thickness of the barrel and reduce the weight of the gun. However, he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the two experimental six-pounder cannons of 500 jin and 550 jin were blown up after they were cast, almost injuring people. The gunsmiths did not know what the limit of the thickness of the barrel was, so they could only grope it step by step.

But it is estimated that it will not be long before the gunsmiths will be able to figure out the most suitable parameters for the iron-core copper six-pounder cannon. The five gunsmiths are all looking forward to the day when the parameters of the new artillery will be found, and hope that Li Zhi will be able to resume their status as craftsmen by that day.

Li Zhi told the gunners to pay attention to safety and left the artillery workshop.

The capacity of the soap workshop has been increased after Xu Mince's additional order, and now there are 150 workers working in the soap workshop in Fanjiazhuang. However, last month, Cui Wending ordered another batch of orders of 50,000 yuan per month, and Li Zhi simply recruited 50 more workers, making a total of 200 people. The production capacity of the new 50 workers far exceeds Choi's needs, and the extra soap Li Sik is sold directly at TJ.

The textile factory was operating normally under Zheng Yuan's management, and nothing happened. The cement workshop normally supplies cement to the masons, and nothing happens.

After checking around and confirming that all lines were working properly, Li Zhi began to develop new industries.

What Li Sik wants to do this time is glass.

As an industrial designer, Li Zhi certainly understands the glass industry, which is a commonly used livelihood product, and is very aware of the detailed theoretical production method of glass. Now that Fanjiazhuang has been preliminarily built, and all kinds of industries can be safely placed in Fanjiazhuang, Li Zhi is ready to get the glass out.

The first thing to consider when building a glass workshop is to build a crucible furnace. Firing glass requires heating the raw materials mixed with soda ash, limestone and quartz to 1550~1600 degrees. In addition, the crucible that holds the raw materials also needs to be made by professionals.

In this era, the most commonly used high-temperature firing products were porcelain craftsmen, and Li Zhi was going to find a few porcelain craftsmen to make glass for himself.

Li Zhi inquired for a while in the Tian0jin Acropolis, and knew that there were porcelain craftsmen in Qing0 County, one hundred and fifty miles to the south, so he personally took his family and rode to Qing0 County. When he arrived in Qing0 County, Li Zhi inquired for a while, and knew that there was a Liu Village in this county, and all the people in the village were burning porcelain, among which the Cai family's blue and white porcelain was the best.

Li Zhi spent money to hire someone to lead the way and found the Cai family in Liucun.

The Cai family's house is very large, occupying a large piece of land in the middle of Liucun, and it is a large courtyard with a single family. Li Zhi stood outside the courtyard and looked at it, and saw that there were several erected clay stoves inside, which were probably the stoves where the Cai family fired porcelain.

Li Zhi handed over the name card at the door, and a Cai family ran out and took Li Zhi to the main hall.

Before Li Zhi entered the main hall, he saw a young man kneeling on the floor of the hall, standing up and kneeling there proudly.

In front of the young man stood three old men, one of whom was extremely angry and kicked the young man in the shoulder.

"I'll kill you rebel!"

The young man was kicked to the ground, stubbornly got up again, knelt on the blue brick floor and said loudly, "Daddy! Cui'er and I are truly in love! ”

The old man was so angry that his face was flushed, and he said loudly: "Our Cai family is also a big family in Liu Village, and you have a crush on such a poor merchant who is so poor that she can't even open the pot at home!" You don't want the kiss I told you, you want to make me angry to death? ”

The young man on the ground said loudly: "Cui'er and I have worshiped heaven and earth in private, and he is already my daughter-in-law!" She won't marry me in my life! ”

"Let me ask you again, do you listen to my marriage with the daughter of the Han family?"

The young man straightened his neck and said loudly: "I only have one daughter-in-law in my life!" ”

The old man was angry, and kicked the young man in the chest again, and scolded loudly: "Get out, get out of Cai's house!" Our Cai family doesn't have a rebel like you! ”

The young man got up and knelt on the ground, looked up at the old man, and said tremblingly, "Daddy! If you kick me out, I'm going to starve! ”

The old man shouted loudly: "I have raised you for eighteen years, and taught you to burn porcelain for ten years!" You repay me like this? You make me can't even lift my head in the village! Do you know that people have to eat? Don't you have Cui'er? Go to her house and look for her! After saying this, the old man shouted loudly with all his might: "Get out! Our Cai family doesn't have you like you! ”

The young man lowered his head, slowly got up, and walked out the door with his head down. He and Li Zhi, who was standing on the side watching the excitement, staggered by, and neither raised their heads.

Li Zhi stood aside and watched the excitement, knowing that this was the children who wanted to make their own decisions, and their own marriage had provoked their father. He secretly said that the power of this Daming's parents is really great, but fortunately, he and Cui He's marriage is not opposed by his parents, otherwise he would not have been able to become a parent.

When the Cai family's parents stood in the second hall to dissipate their anger, Li Zhi walked into the hall with the little girl.

When the parents of the Cai family saw Li Zhi's official uniform, they put away their anger and saluted and said, "The official is here, and he is not welcome!" ”

Li Zhi smiled and said, "No courtesy." ”

The head of the Cai family asked Li Zhi to sit on the throne, let Li Zhi sit on the main seat and accompany him, and asked the servant to bring tea.

Li Zhi took a sip of tea and went straight to the point and said, "I don't know how much profit Cai Gong has in a year when he runs this porcelain workshop?" ”

When the head of the Cai family saw this official come up, he asked about his income, he was a little embarrassed, thought about it and said: "The six members of the Cai family burn porcelain, and in addition to food and clothing, they also have a profit of more than 100 taels a year. ”

Unexpectedly, the Cai family's annual profit is quite high, counting the use of six people, the Cai family has at least one hundred and fifty taels of silver a year. If someone else's income is high, you need more money to dig the foot of the wall. Li Zhi felt a little pain in his heart, but he said quietly on his face: "How about I go out for two hundred and fifty two years and hire six of you to go to Fanjiazhuang to do things for me?" ”

The head of the Cai family was stunned and asked, "Fanjiazhuang?" What does the official want to burn? ”

Li Zhi said: "What I want to burn is glass, and I need some manpower!" ”

The head of the Cai family shook his head and said: "Official, forgive Xiaomin for not knowing how to lift, but our Cai family has been burning porcelain for seven generations, which is an industry of hundreds of years, and I don't want to leave Liucun and lose this industry!" ”

The head of the Cai family refused to work for himself, Li Zhi took a breath and said, "I am willing to pay three hundred taels of silver, and each of the six members of the Cai family will give fifty taels a year, how about it?" Cai Gong considered considering? ”

The head of the Cai family still stubbornly said: "The official is a thousand taels of silver, and the people are not willing to give up their ancestral business!" ”

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Cai Gong thinks about it again, who can't get along with silver?" ”

The head of the Cai family was in a very bad mood when he just kicked his son out of the house, and said: "The official forgives Xiaomin for being stupid, and Xiaomin's family will not agree to this matter no matter what!" ”

Li Zhi finally said helplessly: "Then I invite one of the six of you, as long as one person, how about it?" ”

The head of the Cai family said arrogantly: "The six of us just support a cellar, and the industry can't support it without one person!" ”

Li Zhizhi's old-fashioned family master was shocked, and he took a breath helplessly.
