Then Wang Lun said about Lijiazhuang's industry, "Brother Li's carpentry business, and the younger brother also knows something." In addition to horse-drawn carriages, sedan chairs, and wheelbarrows, some chairs and benches are also made. The younger brother suggested that the axles and wheels should be made of iron as much as possible, and the lubrication should be changed to castor oil, so that the car is more durable. โ€

The economic development and prosperity of the city in the Song Dynasty also provided a good social environment for the vigorous development of the furniture industry. The habit of sitting with your feet down has become popular, and the furniture is stereotyped as high-profile furniture, and has spread to ordinary families, and the living pattern centered on tables, chairs, and stools has been formed during this period.

All kinds of high-profile furniture are basically stereotyped, with rich varieties, including beds, couches, tables, desks, stools, boxes, cabinets, hangers, towel racks, basin racks, etc., and the furniture system has been established and prosperous.

Lijiazhuang's timber business may seem small, but it is not small and is one of its industrial pillars.

Then Wang Lun took out a book and handed it to Li Ying in the middle, "This was officially printed a few years ago, and there are many techniques in it, and Brother Li can be handed over to reliable people to learn." โ€

The "Construction of the French Style" was compiled by Li Jie, who was in charge of engineering in this dynasty, and was a "standard" formulated by the Northern Song Dynasty government on the basis of summarizing the predecessors in order to strengthen the governance of construction design, structure, materials, and construction. Among them, there are 13 types of work, such as woodwork, stone work, brick work, carving, bamboo work, masonry work, color painting work, etc., according to the grade, material, proportion, scale, and art processing method of the delineation of the operation system, which is the main document of ancient wooden structure construction in China.

Li Ying is also literate, but after a cursory reading of this book, he was attracted by the content inside. This is a secret of the craftsman, and the official publication has been in the hands of the government for a few years. I don't want Wang Lun to be so generous and give it to myself.

"With this book here, why bother looking for a craftsman, brother, you can train yourself!" Li Ying said with emotion.

Wang Lun's book was also obtained by virtue of Wen Huanzhang's relationship. He also has his own plans to train his descendants of craftsmen, not to mention anything else, even if the siege equipment of the cottage cannot be faked by others, but it is not too early now.

Wang Lun also handed over a copy of the same book to Hu Sanniang. The Hu family's largest business in Yunzhou was iron manufacturing and animal husbandry. The reason why it was not handed over to Wang Xin was because Hu Sanniang was the daughter of Hujiazhuang, and she could better represent the power of Hujiazhuang.

"Brother, don't worry, my little sister will definitely do a good job in the ironcraft workshop." After receiving the book, Hu Sanniang assured Wang Lun.

Wang Lun nodded and said, "Seeing that spring is about to begin, you can't miss the farming time when you build farm tools." However, the manufacture of weapons cannot be delayed, and only strong strength can keep the family business. โ€

Hu Sanniang knew that Wang Lun meant that Hujiazhuang was coveted by Zhujiazhuang, and he had to expand his strength to fight against Zhujiazhuang.

"There's one more thing to leave to you and your wife!" Wang Lun also said, "Liangshan iron materials are scarce, but there are many materials, so it is best to launch a relationship to mine an iron mine." โ€

The benefits of salt and iron are profound, and those who have a little insight know it. In the border of Yunju and Jeju, in addition to the government, it is the industry of the family. The largest mines in Dulonggang are all under the hands of Zhujiazhuang, and the Li Hu family has only two small ones.

But since there are mineral deposits in Dulonggang, they must all be a vein, and there will be several mineral deposits nearby, so Wang Lun handed over the matter to Wang Xin and his wife.

Hearing his brother Wang Lun's order, Wang Xin frowned, "Hujiazhuang usually uses some farm tools, but now the government is not allowed to open iron mines on a large scale." Even if you want to make a business, I'm afraid you will have to be embarrassed. โ€

"You don't have to worry about it in the government, I have my own arrangements. And Zhujiazhuang can also be against the yin and yang, if there is a conflict, you have to do some fighting. โ€

Wang Lun also knew that there was a lot involved in opening a mine, so he had already entrusted Chai Jin to him, only saying that it was his business. It is said that Chai Jin helped Wang Lun with many things, and Wang Lun met with him. When the cottage was over, Wang Lun made up his mind to go on a journey. In terms of time, I am afraid that Lin Jiaotou is going to be unlucky, and Wang Lun is also very uneasy about this.

In China, the total annual production of steel reached 1,200 tons in the Tang Dynasty, 4,700 tons in the Song Dynasty, and up to 40,000 tons in the Ming Dynasty. The development of ironmaking in the Ming Dynasty was astonishingly efficient, and it was inseparable from bellows technology and coal as fuel. Wang Lun told Wang Xin about the high-temperature furnace and the quenching technology of beast urine, and Wang Xin wrote them down one by one.

"Brother has any other wonderful recipes, give them to my little sister!" Hu Sanniang has become familiar with Wang Lun in the past few days, knowing that Wang Lun is a generous person, and she has learned a lot of things in the conversation just now, and she can't help but look at Shu.

Before Wang Lun could speak, Chao Gai pointed to Hu Sanniang and said to Wang Xin: "Sanniang is a competent housekeeper!" โ€

Everyone laughed, and Wang Xin looked at Hu Sanniang's eyes full of joy.

"Do you want to say that opening an iron mine is too risky, and the government is strict in its investigation. You can rest assured that I will ensure the safety of the issue. Chao Gai said.

"Since the third sister wants to hear it, I'll say more." After pondering for a while, Wang Lun said, "Hujiazhuang operates animal husbandry, raising horses, cattle, mules, donkeys and other large livestock, all of which are profitable transactions. The first is to respond to the national policy, and the second is to meet the needs of the people......"

China's animal husbandry began with hunting and domestication, and by the Sui and Tang dynasties, the organization and management of government-run animal husbandry had been perfect. At that time, there was a pastoral office under Taifu Temple, which was in charge of cattle, sheep and dairy products, and also managed the breeding of domestic animals, and many pastoral supervisors (the ancient name of horse farms) and breeding other domestic animals.

In the Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty, which lost the sixteen states of Yanyun, had scarce war horses, and the horse political organization system was used to develop animal husbandry. Large herds of various domestic animals spread throughout the grasslands and became the main resources constituting national strength. Under the court of the Great Song Dynasty, the state capitals were very concerned about large livestock such as horses and cattle. At this time, intentionally injuring a ploughing cow is punishable, and the famous Bao Qingtian has accepted such a case.

Immediately, Wang Lun gushed endlessly, and talked about the benefits of animal husbandry for a while. Then the conversation changed and taught everyone a few tricks of breeding.

Since the Han and Tang dynasties, good horses from Dawan, Wusun, Persia, Turkic and other places have been imported from the Western Regions. The introduction of these high-quality horses has played a great role in the improvement of horses in the mainland. The New Tang Dynasty Book? "Bing Zhi" said: "Both mixed beards, horses are strong." Wang Lun also instructed to introduce improved breeds of war horses from outside and do replanting experiments.

Liangshan has Yang Lin and Deng Fei are veterans among them, and it is cheap for Hujiazhuang to employ people. As for the golden retriever Duan Jingzhu and the dangerous god Yu Baosi, two experts in horse theft and horse dealers, Wang Lun has no eyebrows and can't find them. Half of Genghis Khan's prestige was created by Mongolian horses, and if he had the opportunity, Wang Lun would definitely introduce Mongolian horse breeds, but now he has no leisure.

"Today's domestic pork is not tasty, mainly because it has not been castrated. The uncastrated pig has thick skin and coarse hair, which is called "pig"; The castrated pig grows fat and full of hip fat, and is called "porpoise" ......"

"I also have a fat pig method here, 'use three catties of guanzhong, four taels of atractylodes, a bucket of soybeans, and a liter of sesame seeds, each of which is fried, and the total is the end, the bait, and the fat on the twelfth.' โ€

Later, Wang Lun talked about using earthen jars or fire kang to artificially incubate eggs, artificially moulting ducks and geese, making toothbrushes with pig hair, and making cotton clothes with duck down and goose down. There are many things that people have never heard of, and they are dumbfounded and convinced.
