The industry that Wang Song understands is completely different from the industry that Zhao Xin saw, and the real industry is to use machines to bring the power of people into full play and industrialize large-scale production, which will inevitably cause the bankruptcy of most of the industry and commerce dominated by the small peasant economy and individuals.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were not many people doing such work, but there would still be them, and that's what Zhao Xin was waiting for.

These people will become the first batch of technicians and founders of the Dinghai Navy.

However, it had not appeared for a long time, especially when the iron tools had been scattered all over the vicinity of the Daimyo's Mansion, which made him very strange.

However, Zhao Xin did not care, perhaps because the time was not long, the habit of Chinese saving, coupled with the products of the blacksmith's workshop, the reputation was not too smooth, that is, within a radius of 200 miles around.

Iron ware is different from steamed buns, it has a certain timeliness, and it can't be too long, with the speed of the clipper, it is at most 2 hours, that is, about 100 miles.

However, iron and soap, which can be stored for a long time, bulk transportation of goods, the price is quite low, compared with the market price, the freight of a pound and a half or a penny, is almost not worth mentioning.

Open the market with iron tools, or open the market with soap, you can do that.

In the past few days, the production of the blacksmith's workshop has begun to change, and the finished ironware has only kept a few new products that are not in sufficient quantities, and the iron material is left to produce in full force.

After inquiring in detail about the needs of the Daimyo's house, 20% of them are Buren A, and the rest is billet, on the one hand, it is easy to transport, a billet of about 100 catties, and it is not too heavy, and it is easy to store in a boxy way.

After the production of iron becomes large-scale and programmed, the appearance of iron, as long as it is not irregular and difficult to process, can be made in any way.

Looking at the hot scenery, Zhao Xin couldn't help but think of the stamping equipment, in fact, for armor, the strongest protection is also the lightest, and it should be stamped out of steel.

With the help of a large stamping machine, the plate armor can be formed at one time, and the force of more than ten tons is enough to release most of the stress in the steel, so that the surface force tends to be stable, and the plate armor with sufficient thickness and strength is also enough to resist most of the damage, especially the hammering and shock of heavy weapons, and stronger materials will also make the entire plate armor lighter.

Plate armor rarely appears in China, the Ming Guang armor of the Tang Dynasty is more on the heart guard, with the characteristics of plate armor, the whole is still composed of different parts, as long as there is a combination, the overall strength is not large, the connection or weak point, can be attacked.

The reason for this is not that the smelting technology in ancient China is not up to par, in fact, before the Qing Dynasty, China's smelting technology is the best in the world, and during the Song Dynasty, it was 500 years higher than Europe, and in fact, it already had the possibility of making plate armor.

It's just that there is no need for that, the terrible weapon of the English longbow has never appeared in China, which has caused the attack power of the bow and arrow to be insufficient, although the musket is a promising weapon, in the early days, arquebus, and even the flintlock period, the overall power is not large, not to mention plate armor and piercing armor, even paper armor can resist.

The spear and the shield are mutually reinforcing and mutually injurious, and only a stronger spear can give birth to a stronger shield.

The appearance of the longbow was insoluble at first, in order to fight against the English longbow, the countries on the continent could only start with raw materials to reduce the possibility of raw materials entering the United Kingdom, and Britain also bundled some sales, with some imported and exported products, must be equipped with purple shirtwood, which formed a contradictory mechanism.

It is difficult to achieve total control, in order to find a weapon against the longbow, plate armor came into being, in the 15th and 16th centuries, plate armor is known as a model of shield stronger than spear, a plate armor that guards the torso of the whole body, plus a helmet, enough to withstand most of the English longbow, this is the real full armor, the protection is terrifying.

Of course, Zhao Xin wants to popularize stamping equipment, not to mention the problem of protection of stamping equipment, but simply to talk about efficiency, it is enough to completely destroy the armor.

The cost of step armor, iron is only one aspect, the key is the labor cost, pieces of iron armor, according to different specifications, little by little to form armor, which requires a skilled worker, and a lot of experience can be produced.

For the Northern Song Dynasty, where productivity is relatively underground, there may be tens of thousands of people who are producing step people, but for Zhao Xin, who is used to industrialization, the production cost is too high.

As long as the stamping equipment is made, the smelting can directly create the iron or steel sheet of the plate armor, and then send it to the stamping equipment for one-time forming, fast speed, and saving, which is the benefit of stamping equipment.

Many large-scale weapons in later generations, such as firearms, can easily increase their costs if there are not many standard or stamped parts.

Why AK is called a poor man's artifact, that's it, almost the whole is made of stamping, except for a few parts, the cost of the rest is extremely low, which can also be equipped on a large scale for poor countries.

Stamping or something, or even intervening in the production of weapons and equipment, this is a somewhat long-term thing, even if it is production, it can't be placed in the Daimyo's Mansion, this is not a place that Zhao Xin completely controls, and it's not safe to say otherwise.

Going all out to produce, 4 days, production capacity, more than previously imagined, reached about 4.5 million catties per day, a total of 18 million catties were produced, not only completed the order of 15 million catties of the Privy Council, but also completed the additional 3 million catties of the Daimyo's mansion.

When he got the news, Cao Di was taken aback, although Zhao Xin said that it could be completed in 4 days, but he was more or less bottomless in his heart, and the large fleet was ready for surprise, a total of 40 ships, all of which were large ships of 800 materials, according to the number that each one can hold up to 500,000 catties, that is, 250 tons, 30 ships are enough.

Arrange for personnel to load the ship, at an economical speed, a distance of 400 miles, at most 8 days, can be reached, Cao Di can already foresee, when the Privy Council Jia Chaochang saw the scene when these iron materials arrived.

Jia Chaochang's private affairs are not a secret in the Privy Council, and once, he also wanted an order from the Daimyo's Mansion, but unfortunately he was rejected by Cao Di.

On the one hand, the Daimyo's Mansion was also a well-established military base, with a blacksmith workshop and a foundry division, and on the other hand, he was not used to his style.

The local officials with real power in the Northern Song Dynasty, especially those who added the titles of Zaifu and Governor of the Council, their autonomy was very large, even if it was Jia Chaochang, he was angry and helpless, now, complete this order as soon as possible, and avoid the Privy Council from ordering another order in the name of not delivering for a long time.

Cao Di, who was born in the Privy Council, knows very well that there are policies and countermeasures under the sentence, not just talking, Cao Di plus the term of office of the Daimyo's Mansion has been in the Privy Council for more than 35 years, including 15 years of privy deputy envoys, of course, everything is clear.

On the pier specially built and expanded by the blacksmith's workshop, Cao Di saw the ships that had arrived in advance, which had begun to be arranged after returning home.

The loading of full manpower, 800 materials require manpower is very huge, according to a person can transport 100 catties of items at a time, 500,000 catties, 5,000 people, converted to 15 million catties, 150,000 people.

One person can make several trips a day, 10 trips, 20 trips, and more than 1,000 are prepared just for the labor of loading the ship.

These laborers, not anything else, are hired from nearby, the Daimyo Mansion is close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the shipping is developed, and the laborers related to shipping are also numerous, generally speaking, as far as a labor force is concerned, at the end of the day, it may be about 100-150 Wen, but the blacksmith workshop gives more, about 100 catties for a trip, 10 Wen.

It seems, it is similar to the ordinary wharf, but here, manpower is only a necessary auxiliary, from the warehouse to the ship, there is a special passage and hoist crane, the role of manpower is to carry things onto the channel, and wait on the ship, when the hoist hoist is on the ship, send the things into the cabin, neatly placed.

This saves a lot of physical strength, at most there is only the beginning and the end, and even two groups of people are in partnership, and they don't have to walk back and forth, just a few steps to a dozen steps.

Although this is not the most convenient and modern port that Zhao Xin understood, it is much better than the river ports and seaports of the Northern Song Dynasty, which are completely manpowered.

Most of the labor can carry about 50 times a day, that is, 5,000 catties a day, and if you load a boat, maybe a hundred laborers a day can be enough.

In other words, a laborer can earn 500 wen a day.

This is an astronomical amount, if you do it every day, it may be 15 times a month, such a high salary, it suddenly attracts a large number of laborers, at least more than 3,000, although 1,000 are left on the dock, and the rest also recognize the benefits of the blacksmith workshop and look for work in the surrounding area.

The blacksmith workshop itself is no longer short of people, and the blacksmith workshop with a labor force of 30,000 supports an output of more than 4 million catties per day, but there are still some odd jobs in terms of handling and people's livelihood.

Under the leadership of Zhao Xin, the labor on the blacksmith workshop is relatively expensive, which refers to the other places of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the Northern Song Dynasty, even if it is a casual job, it can be mixed with at least 100 yuan a day, which is an inexplicable attraction for labor.

Although they can earn more than 100 wen a day in the port, it is not every day, sometimes, they have to work for several days.

Labor force is most afraid of idleness, they generally can't save money, sometimes 100 a day, it stands to reason that the monthly salary is 3 times, but generally about 1.5 times a month, you can hire a person, why, is afraid that it will not last long, and it will be stable for a long time.

The blacksmith's workshop was such a stable place, at first attracted by the wages of laborers, and when they came, they saw an opportunity, and the port began to liven up, and it had the appearance of a really busy port.
