Chapter 45 The Foundation of Industry
"Ning Army, Ning Army, the army guarding Jiangning, our Lin family was born in Jiangning and grew up in Jiangning, if the Jin people come to attack, the children of the Lin family will definitely shed the last drop of blood for their homeland."
Lin Yang's face turned red because of excitement, "The court is cowardly, cutting the land, and paying tribute, which makes the Jin Kingdom stronger and the Hua Dynasty weaker, no matter whether it succeeds or fails this time, I, Lin Yang, will never be a slave to the country." “
"The third brother is right, today's Hua Dynasty is the main court, and the civil main war, the court is because these corrupt officials do not want to forge ahead, greedy for wealth and nobility, and just want to keep the gentle township in the south of the Yangtze River, the main civil war is because the people know that the Jin people are a big trouble, blindly appeased, when its wings are full, it will definitely swallow the Hua Dynasty, then thousands of people will become slaves of the country, and the Han people will no longer be in the country." Lin Qing is also a person who can read and write, and he is also quite helpless about the absurdity of the current Chinese Dynasty.
Therefore, after Lin Mu proposed the group training, he was very much in favor of preparing for the establishment of the Lin family's private army, after all, once the Jin people went south, I was afraid that the imperial court would not be able to protect the lower Li people.
Thirty years ago, the Chinese Dynasty army was defeated, and the entire north was left to the Jin people to wreak havoc.
As a lesson from the past, Lin Qing is in favor of training now.
"The second uncle and the third uncle are all righteous people, if the ministers in the court are like you, how can the Chinese Dynasty have today." Lin Mu sighed.
Throughout the ages, whenever a nation is in peril, there are those who flee from the battle with arrogance before the war, there are those who betray the country to seek glory, there are those who would rather die than surrender after defeat, and there are those who have died after doing their best, the former is the scum of the nation, and the latter is the backbone of the nation.
It's just a pity that at the end of the dynasty, the east and the west often press the east wind, the evil presses the good, and the scum presses the backbone, they are born at the wrong time, but they let out their loudest cry when the country is annihilated.
Obviously, the current Hua Dynasty is such an era, so Lin Mu admires Liu Jiangbai, admires King Duan, and admires anyone who dares to fight for his own nation with his life.
Lin Qing waved his hand, "The court is high, and we and other small people can only look up, all we do is to do our part and seek peace of mind in the troubled times." ”
"The second uncle is right, it's just peace of mind." Lin Mu laughed, there are too many big truths, it is not as good as this simple peace of mind, he continued: "Second uncle, third uncle, you have to work hard in the next few days, my nephew has to concentrate on running regimental training and military workshops, and the business matters will get rid of you." ”
"Why do the family talk about two families, you just have to run the Ning Army, provide a way to make money, and we will take care of the silver, and we will also set up a military order for you here today, and the two of us will never use our power to bend the law for personal gain and ruin the reputation of the Lin family." Lin Qing and Lin Yang glanced at each other and showed their attitude to Lin Mu.
"Second uncle, third uncle's character nephew can be trusted, you didn't take a penny more when you were in the Lin family's compound before, and my father often praised you in front of me." Lin Mu is telling the truth, in his memory, Lin Mu's father does often praise the two, and it can be said that the three brothers of the Lin family are very upright.
At the mention of Lin Shu, Lin Qing and Lin Yang were sad for a while, and after a while, Lin Qing said: "Da Lang, leave it to us here, don't delay the group training." “
Lin Mu nodded, he called Lin Feng, and the two went to the Lin family's carpenter shop.
These days, with the support of the Lin family's financial resources, the carpenter shop has changed from a small workshop of five people to a large carpenter shop of more than 200 people.
It was the work of so many carpenters who completed the transformation of Jenny's spinning machine and loom in such a short time.
"Boss, now the loom is in order, and there are still a hundred spinning machines." When the two arrived at the carpenter's shop, Ding Li immediately came over to report the current progress.
Leave some people to continue to finish the rest of the spinning machine, and the rest of the people will start working on this thing with all their might from now on.
After speaking, Lin Mu spread a set of drawings on the stone table in the middle of the carpenter's shop.
Ding Li and Lin Feng looked together, only to see that there was a large waterwheel structure on the drawing, a pole stretched out in the middle of the waterwheel, there was a slightly smaller gear at the end of the pole, and there was a large gear next to the gear, and a pole also stretched out in the middle of the big gear, but the structure of this pole was a little strange.
"Owner, what is this?" Ding Li asked.
He knew most of the structures on the drawings, except for the last thing he hadn't seen.
"This is the barrel boring machine."
Lin Mu lectured to Ding Li and Lin Feng on the spot, for him, it was not enough for him to revitalize the Chinese Dynasty and keep the Han people, so from now on he had to impart his knowledge and cultivate a group of people who understood technology, otherwise he would not be able to fight against the Western powers that had a perfect scientific system and had entered modernization.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up, "The cannon barrel boring machine, is it said that it is used to produce artillery?" ”
"That's right, if the inner wall of the cannon barrel is not smooth, the barrel boring machine needs to be cut, otherwise the accuracy of the shells fired is poor, and the distance is not as good as the smooth barrel of the gun." Lin Mu was not stingy to teach the two of them, and the barrel boring machine he took out was a hydraulic boring machine that only appeared at the end of the eighteenth century, relying on water power to drive the waterwheel to rotate to make the boring machine rotate.
Ding Li was naturally clear about Lin Mu's group training, and he said: "Owner, wooden structures such as waterwheels are no problem, this thing is not a blacksmith, but there is no way." ”
"You just need to get this thing to spin, and you don't care about the rest." Ding Li was referring to the boring knife, and Lin Mu already had a way to do this, "Now you just need to tell me how long it will take to make it." ”
Lin Feng is also proficient in carpentry work, he said: "It takes at least ten days. ”
Ding Li nodded and agreed with Lin Feng's statement.
"Okay, I'll give you ten days." Lin Mu handed over the drawings to Ding Li and asked him to organize the carpenter to work now.
After Ding Li left, he took Lin Feng out of the side door of the carpenter's shop, and an empty idle land appeared in front of him, "Lin Feng, I have already asked Ding Li to buy this land, and a steel mill will be built here to make iron and steel." ”
Out of the inner city, there is relatively a lot more idle land outside, because there is no shortage of carpenters and blacksmiths who produce weapons, so he asked Ding Li to buy the adjacent land.
Lin Feng looked at it, and some craftsmen were building a fence along the land to separate this place from the outside.
"Big brother, are you going to involve me in ironmaking and steelmaking?" Lin Feng has a dull temperament, but he is a smart person.
"That's right, steel is the foundation of industry, only by mastering the forging of steel, can we enter the age of steel, without steel, the military workshop is just a joke." Lin Mu's expression was serious.
It is difficult to build an industrial system from the desert of industry, but no matter how difficult it is, he has to try, but fortunately, he has the resources of a city, and he can naturally use the ready-made resources.
After all, at present, the West is still only trading commodities with the Chinese Dynasty, and has not imported complete sets of industrial equipment, and he believes that as in the late Qing Dynasty, even if foreigners import industrial equipment to the Chinese Dynasty, they will still have the core technology in their hands, and the contemporary Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is a precedent.
