If Zhao Xin can't fully accept it, he can accept 4,000 craftsmen and helpers first, they are also afraid that Zhao Xin will not be able to accept it, this is tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of mouths to eat, always give some time, otherwise huddle together, there will definitely be problems.

In the past, when the order of the Privy Council and the Daimyo's Mansion was not completed, maybe Zhao Xin would still think about it, after all, a large number of people would come in, which would bring great pressure, but now, when this order is completed, the first batch of funds from the Daimyo's Mansion and the Privy Council will come over, and everything will not be a problem.

Even if they still owe these workers wages, as long as there are no problems in daily life and there is the endorsement of the imperial court, this is not a problem at all.

The Renzong Dynasty was not the later Huiqin Erzong, when the reputation of the Northern Song Dynasty was bankrupt, but in this era, it was quite strong.

It is also related to the financial situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, the financial situation of the Northern Song Dynasty has been problematic, but there is no degree that the Tao cannot solve, although there are hidden worries, but with the efforts of Ye Qingchen and Renzong, it has not deteriorated, and the entire Northern Song Dynasty is still the Northern Song Dynasty that has developed well, at least in terms of payment ability, quite outstanding.

Zhao Xin, has been waiting for this group of blacksmiths for a long time, although it is said that there are only about 4,000 people who are professional, and other laborers are also very important, relatively young and strong, on the other hand, they themselves work in the Foundry Department and the Ministry of Industry, and they are very familiar with blacksmiths, and it is easy to be trained to become official blacksmiths.

Although there are already about 30,000 people in the blacksmith workshop, plus 20,000 people, it may not be able to support the huge steelmaking plant in later generations, but no matter how much it is, it is not necessarily.

When handing over the personnel, Cao Di also told Zhao Xin a thing that surprised him, that is, in Bianliang, there are more than 200,000 people, of which at least 20,000 are blacksmiths, and the rest are assistants and laborers.

I really fell asleep, so I sent a pillow, with such a total of almost 250,000 prime-age laborers, if you fool their family, some close relatives, there may be millions, plus hundreds of thousands of people from Huainan East Road, it can be said that the first batch of 1.5 million people is no problem.

As long as the problem of money for the construction of the Dinghai Navy is solved, and the problem of food for these people is added, the construction of the Dinghai Navy will be given wings.

People are the most amazing thing, and the terrible GDP of the Northern Song Dynasty was created by hundreds of millions of hard-working people.

The production capacity of industrialization is even more terrible, this point, only Zhao Xin, who has personally seen it, knows that taking the blacksmith workshop as an example, when in Miaojiazhuang, in the early days of the blacksmith workshop, who could have imagined that the blacksmith workshop would have such a terrible performance, and a steel complex with an output of 450,000 tons in this era may appear.

They are all official personnel, at least, craftsmen and helpers, they are registered, and even in a certain sense, the helpers who can be left by the official are not simple, most of them have a skill, or are proficient in a certain link of steelmaking.

The thirst for manpower has reached a certain level, Zhao Xin was a little impatient, and directly accepted these people, and began to take stock and count.

The performance of those masters in the past gave him hope, and now, here in the Daimyo's Mansion, there are craftsmen with official status, and their level is quite high.

Sure enough, among the 800 craftsmen, there are 100 real masters, they have a deep understanding of iron, and in less than three days after joining the blacksmith workshop, they have mastered the overall operation rules of the blacksmith workshop and can operate alone.

Although other ordinary blacksmiths are a little worse, they can operate independently after a maximum of 5 days, and their overall performance is also above the standard.

This group of 20,000 people was integrated into the blacksmith workshop, even in the process of learning, the blacksmith workshop seemed a little crowded, but there was no way, no one expected that the Daimyo Mansion would not hesitate to push these people over.

The entire blacksmith workshop was running at full strength, not only successfully accepting people, but also cultivating them, and quickly showing their strength.

These new blacksmiths who joined the blacksmith workshop, in fact, are still a little apprehensive, they are afraid that this treatment is not as good as what they heard before, and they are afraid that they will not be able to integrate into it.

They have also heard that the blacksmith's workshop uses the method of piecework, calculated by the number of things completed per day, so that in their opinion, the secret or something, should be self-cherished, after all, the more you can produce, the higher your bonus, and others will learn it, and they will not be able to share a little from you.

But after arriving, I found that there was a complete training process, and everyone could pass on their know-how to others, because there were larger detachments and brigades in the group, all of which had certain tasks, and after completing them, there would be high bonuses.

People are selfish, especially these craftsmen in feudal society, who often regard their secrets as ballast things, and easily do not teach them to others.

However, in addition to setting a high reward for originality, there is also an overall reward, which is also a way to promote the overall improvement.

10 people who can produce 2,000 pounds alone, it is better to produce 1000 pounds alone, and most of the people must reach a higher level before they will consider anything else.

This is also the perspective of industrialization, but after including these people, especially after becoming proficient, these masters still surprised him.

Masters who are in the prime of life, they may not be as experienced as old masters, but their abilities in all aspects are obviously above them.

In the beginning, there was a little bit of self-cherishing the idea of a broomstick, but when their peers and co-workers took out the ability to teach, some of their experiences began to circulate in the blacksmith workshop.

At the same time, the rumors of those heavy rewards also shocked them, and the blacksmith who received the most rewards in the entire blacksmith workshop even won 4 rewards, with a total income of more than 8,000 yuan.

This is the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty, not the later period and the Southern Song Dynasty, and the purchasing power of 8,000 guan is very strong, at least equivalent to 80 cattle, or hundreds of acres of land.

It was such a sky-high reward that made them very excited, and they did not hesitate to take it out under the impetus of their friends and relatives.

There is even a reward of 5,000 guan, which is provided by a master craftsman named Niu Dali.

Niu Dali was born in poverty, only 6 years old was sent to the blacksmith workshop as an apprentice, he is talented and smart, all the way to the present, almost 35 years old, is already in the entire blacksmith workshop, there are several top masters.

In fact, after such a long period of development, the blacksmith workshop has improved very obviously in many aspects, and there is very little room for improvement, and several of the master craftsmen have also mastered the catalyst similar to the one provided before, but under verification, it has been provided.

This is a no-brainer, first-come, first-served, in this era, there is no so-called copyright or patent, and personal secret recipes are all kept by themselves.

What this cow vigorously provides is not a catalyst or a method of iron smelting, this is a grasp of the state, which seems to be inconspicuous, but in fact, in the whole smelting process, it is also a very important thing.

The temperature required for iron smelting is not as high as possible, after cleaning up impurities, this temperature cannot be determined, and ordinary blacksmiths can only come based on experience.

However, this experience is not representative of everything, there will be subtle differences in the difference in iron ore, the difference in iron content, and the difference in some surrounding environments.

Zhao Xin knew the exact temperature, but there was no standard, and there was no thermometer specifically used for blast furnace steelmaking, and this standard temperature could not be promoted.

Niu Dali is observing, especially the catalysts provided by several other masters, on the premise that they have been provided, and came up with this method.

This method was also discovered by accident, when it was discovered by mixing only an ore into the smelting, the ore could not be dissolved, and it was also quite eye-catching in the iron solution.

This is a kind of natural ore, through a certain treatment, will not dissolve, but will change color, when he smelts iron, he is used this stone to manipulate,

This is a natural thermometer, although it only changes color, and the range is very large, it is impossible to be accurate to 1 degree, or even 10 degrees, but it can show the approximate temperature, which will be around 100 degrees.

A thermometer for precision is absolutely useless, but it is sufficient for steelmaking and iron smelting.

Why do blacksmiths have to be masters, only masters, they are quite familiar with iron smelting, and judge what is enough based on experience.

This kind of subjective thing, let alone a master, even if it is a master craftsman, can not be accurate in every one, more or less there are some errors, this error is reflected in the grade of the material, excellent master craftsmen can ensure ninety, or even ninety percent of more than five good products.

However, with the help of this thermometer, coupled with scientific planning and calculation, it can be guaranteed that the yield rate reaches 100%, and even for future steelmaking, it has a good knowing effect, and even all smelting related to the temperature of about 1000 degrees Celsius, such as glass and cement, has a wide range of applications.

Zhao Xin knows very well that his extensive, even said, the catalyst that has improved the huge before, is not as useful as this, and the accurate judgment of the temperature range, even if it is only 100 degrees, can also allow many refining and mass production that can only rely on experience.

Glass, cement, and traditional ceramic refining can all be used.

On the premise that there was no way to give a higher one, Zhao Xin wrote down this person, and at the same time approved the highest reward of 5,000 yuan, and Niu Dali, who was heavily rewarded.
