Early the next morning, Li Chengqian continued to get up early to practice boxing and martial arts. After washing up and eating, Du He rushed over. Since the East and West Markets did not open until noon, the two accompanied Li Chengqian straight to the dyeing and weaving workshop, watched the prince arrange the production of clothes, shoes, hats and underwear, and arranged for people to try special embroidery, and also assigned a few people to specialize in dye proportioning. I couldn't stop muttering in my heart, and when His Highness came out, he ran around and walked around. Yesterday I went to the market, visited the porcelain kiln, lived in the manor, and today I have to go to the dyeing and weaving workshop, the paper workshop, the woodware workshop, and the ironware workshop. You have to be involved in everything, and you want to have fun with everything. This prince is suffocated in the mansion, but what is it for every time he makes a stack of papers? It's just that they are all holding back in their hearts and don't dare to say it clearly.

Then go to the paper mill, arrange the new papermaking process, arrange and improve the pulp material selection, paper, sulfur bleaching and other processes. Arrange to test new processes and produce new paper. Recycling and reuse of scrap waste. Looking at this messy arrangement, the mouths of the two never closed again, how did they come up with this? What's the use of making something weird?

Especially the eldest grandson Chong, he still can't understand why he also eats chicken, and why is the prince more fragrant than the one in the imperial dining room? Why did he cut the lamb into small pieces and grill them on skewers? Why is the so-called lamb skewers so fragrant? Why does his tea have a natural fragrance? It was also very refreshing, so that he couldn't sleep all night.

Along the way, in addition to them, the stewards and craftsmen of various workshops all had a different attitude, and they threw themselves to the five bodies that the prince admired. First of all, it is the increase in rewards and wages, and the most important thing is that this prince who lives in the palace actually knows everything, and the key problems in technology and craftsmanship cannot be difficult for him, this is too smart, slightly stronger than them, they are just jealous, when they need to look up, the only thing left in their hearts is worship and admiration.

No matter what everyone thinks, the three of them have come to the woodware workshop in a carriage and baking the stove, and the steward of the woodware workshop is an old acquaintance. Coming here for nothing else, the first pot of gold is mainly implemented here, clenching his fists, Li Chengqian was a little excited.

The eldest grandson Chong followed Li Chengqian, who had finished his inspection, and stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lang Jun, do you have any new ideas here, let me also have a long experience." Li Chengqian glanced at him, but said: "From yesterday to today, you have followed me almost the same, so let's do it, after all, we are all brothers, I want to do some business, and I am not rich in hand." Each of you will lend me 5,000. What do you think? ”

"That's no problem, although it's a bit much, but it's okay to squeeze the money," the eldest grandson replied. I thought, as long as your prince speaks, my family will earn it.

Du He also said: "No problem, don't say 5,000 guan, even 20,000 guan is no problem." ”

"Okay, I'll give you 20,000 too."

Li Chengqian said in his heart, stingy, his family is a big landlord, a local tyrant and a bad gentry. After thinking about it, he said: "I can't let you suffer, you two each contributed 20,000 yuan, even if it is capital, my carpentry business counts half of each of you shares, how about it?" ”

"Forty thousand is only half a percent, why don't you grab it?" The two of them said in unison, "Lang Jun, you have your back to the saint, and a lot of money is not rare, but how hard it is for us to get some money, you can borrow money, and you can just buy shares." ”

"That's what you said, if you don't want to, forget it, just let me borrow you. Don't regret it. Li Chengqian shook his head and smiled. Xindao, in the end, it's a little kid, I don't know, and you will regret it when the time comes.

Then he greeted Ren Junxing and said: "In addition to the original work, there are three things, first, make wardrobes, bookshelves, tables and chairs, dressers, coffee tables, beds and beds A full set of furniture, which can be divided and classified according to the materials of families and wood with different assets. Second, find skilled craftsmen to make molds, engraving templates and instruments according to the drawings. Third, make a four-wheeled vehicle. Made according to the drawing requirements and dimensions. It can be improved according to the actual situation, and if it can't be solved, report to me again. You can make these things in three separate ways, or you can work on them collaboratively. In addition, your rewards and wages will be increased in the same amount as other workshops. The finished furniture will be sold at the wood shop. ”

"Lang Jun rest assured, his subordinates will do their best." Ren Junxing held the drawings handed over by Li Chengqian in his hand and assured loudly. As long as you do a good job, this is a good opportunity for meritorious service, the prince is not short of money, it depends on his own ability.

"Then it's up to you, and when the time comes, I will reward those who have merit. Those who are lazy or messy will be expelled. Li Chengqian said, got up to greet the two, and left the woodwork workshop.

The ironworks are the farthest. Things were not very smooth at first, and at first, when the master craftsmen heard that there was a new method of steelmaking, their faces were full of suspicion and disdain. It's been hundreds of years, who dares to say that steelmaking technology can surpass? Not afraid of being laughed at to death? It's just that the prince said it, so he treated it as a child and didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Li Chengqian was also full of helplessness, so he had to be a teacher on the spot, and used the identity of the prince to order the craftsmen to come over and listen to his explanation of the steel forging method and the steel filling method. Then let the craftsman verify it on the spot, and half a day passed, which suddenly won people's respect, and some people even bowed down on the spot, which is simply the wisdom of God.

Then the enthusiasm was aroused, and he promised to experiment with his crucible steelmaking and other production plans at once. Later, the blast furnace converter steelmaking method was also asked to be tested as soon as possible. However, Li Chengqian did not insist on it, even if there was coal, it would not work, and the use of ordinary coal alone still could not meet the requirements; first of all, the impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus in the coal were difficult to overcome in steelmaking.

Nowadays, without coke, what to do is just paper and meaningless. What's more, in the workshop, there is only charcoal, and there is no coal, after inquiry, I learned that coal (coal) is a particularly rare thing, because there is no mining technology, manual production alone is extremely rare, and now that the war has just ended, where will there be people who are idle all day long, doing that dirty and tiring work. It's better to farm the land more efficiently, who will dig coal? The social system and productivity are very rigid, so in the eyes of people, such as charcoal, which is of little use except for fire, is very rare.

Li Chengqian sighed, he thought too simply, how can mining without explosives? How to coke without coal, and how to produce ammonia without coking? How can ammonium nitrate explosives be produced without ammonia? It's an endless cycle, and it can only be relied on by slow primitive accumulation.

I suddenly despised the novels and movies I had read before, and I used explosives and machine guns at every turn, but I know the manufacturing method, how do you get raw materials for me? Basic industry and mining of ore are the big problems. Dig by hand? You look at the social structure and institutions today. Thinking of this, I gave a thumbs up to those novels and movies in my heart, and the middle finger didn't dare, what if it was discovered by some existence?
