Chapter 203: Logging and Shipbuilding (I)
With the agreement with the Nanjun County Government, the matter of dredging the water has been basically finalized, and even Ming Zifu's original plan was to use the low-lying county administration of one or two counties as a flood discharge place for the water, but now Gongziyan suggested that the water should be used as an important waterway connecting Jiangxia and Nanjun, and Ming Zifu also had to be tempted.
After all, it is located in the south of Daqin, and on the other side of the river is the huge Jing State, where the situation is complicated, even Ming Zifu has a hunch that sooner or later there will be a war between Daqin and Jing State, and at that time, if Nanjun and Jiangxia can be connected by borrowing Shuishui, they may not be able to earn some advantages.
It is precisely because of this that Ming Zifu also agreed to this matter, and even thought about dredging the connection between the water and the water secretion, and it took only three or four days from Wancheng to Xiangcheng at that time, such a speed is already extremely amazing!
Jiangxia and Nanjun are rare, and the land is sparsely populated, most of the places are flourishing, there are no human figures, some of them are inaccessible, there have been no human disturbances for hundreds of years, it is a primeval forest that has been in a quiet posture since ancient times, but some of today's noise is to break the tranquility of these weekdays when no one only hears the sound of birdsong!
"There are more than 100 years of cedar trees here, and a few people can't necessarily surround them, if it is usual, even the most skilled woodcutter comes, and he will take a detour, but today...... We have a logging saw built by the Shui Foundry, so don't worry, it will take at most a pillar of incense to be able to cut down the largest fir tree! ”
In Tongbai Mountain, Foil Tin rubbed the wood in front of the four people in front of him with his hand, this is fir wood, high-quality wood used for shipbuilding, this is only the outer area of Tongbai Mountain, it is able to see such a giant tree, if you walk ten miles inward, I am afraid you can see larger trees!
But......
Looking at the depths of the forest that still looked gloomy in the noisy voices not far away, there was the howling of wild things from time to time, and everyone was also stalked, and they decided to dispose of the wood in front of them in their hearts and wanted to go deep into Tongbai Mountain, after all, in this hundred miles of mountains, there are still dangerous poisonous beasts that are fearful.
"Let's get started!" Foil tin as the foundry of the department, this time is also to promote the foundry to create a "logging saw", this thing is not a rare thing in the Central Plains, more than 100 years ago Lu was invented, but the creation of this thing requires cast iron light and thin technology is extremely strict, the usual Daqin is still unable to cast, the general woodcutter felling, most of them use bronze woodcutters, this kind of face small branches and the like OK, like the four or five people in front of the giant tree, not cut down for several days in a row, don't want to chisel out an obvious opening, It is very likely that the giant wood was not damaged much during this period, but the bronze woodcutter is almost scrapped!
Hearing the instructions of the Division's Fangxi, the craftsmen of the foundry who created the "logging saw" around them were also in a group of two, holding the so-called [logging saw] in their hands, and they each found a suitable giant tree, aligned it with a good position, and began to pull up the saw.
The other people present were mostly prisoners of the Great Qin and Shouwang Army, and now their name is [Jiangxia County Mansion Suiyi Lijia Battalion], including the Yangyu Valley, with an establishment of about 2,000 people.
Sheep Tongue Valley looked at the lush dense forest in front of him and his scalp was numb, especially the giant trees that four or five people hugged, in the past, when the Beiwang Army wanted to cross the river or lay a pontoon bridge, most of the sheep tongue valleys who served as the general of the army led people to cut wood, but many times cut down light things such as bamboo, like such giant trees, cut down I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be delayed.
"How big a ship did the Qin people want to build such a giant tree......
Yangyu Valley guessed that the Qin people wanted to cut down these giant trees precisely for the newly built Han Navy to build ships.
Thinking of the Han Water Army, Yang Yu Gu couldn't help but clench his palms, the soldiers of this Han Water Army were just like him, they were all prisoners from Jing State, but ...... The conditions for the selection of soldiers by the Han Navy Army are extremely strict, and the Yang Tongue Valley is also slandered, because he knows that those who can enter the Han Navy Army as a soldier will be directly shortened by half for the period of slavery, and if he has made some contributions, he may be able to get rid of his affiliation in a year and a half!
Such favorable conditions made Yangyu Valley also red-eyed, but because he was unable to surpass the bodies of those untouchables, he was eliminated by the Qin generals of the Han Water Army and was assigned to the camp of Suiyi in the Jiangxia County Government.
In the face of the giant trees all over the mountains, the Sheep Tongue Valley is also obviously not optimistic about the so-called [logging saw] of this Lishui foundry.
"Huh...... Ooh...... Wow......"
It's the sound of a logging saw pulling on a giant tree.
Immediately, in the midst of the roar, the people of the Suiyi Lijia Battalion next to them opened their eyes wide and looked at the craftsman who was pulling the logging saw, because they were stunned to find that the logging saw, which was as thin as a money lip, was actually pulled several times and cut into the giant wood, and it fell deeper and deeper......
It is not difficult to predict what will happen after continuing to fall, as the main trunk of this giant tree will detach from its roots and eventually collapse!
As soon as they thought of this, many of the subordinates were also afraid, as if they were afraid of being hit by this giant tree hugged by four or five people, and they retreated two steps back, and Fang Xi also shook his head, and finally waved his hand and said: "Tie the hemp rope, and use a solid wooden pestle to support the giant wood and fall backwards!" ”
According to this progress, it only takes about half a column of incense to pull this [logging saw] to the position of the center of the giant wood wheel, and only a dozen young people need to push it to the giant wood together, and it can be transported away by a cart.
How could the Qin people's thin layer of iron cut the giant wood that four or five people hugged! 〗
Seeing this, Sheep Tongue Valley gasped, watching these craftsmen of the Qin State pull the logging saw with their hands and cut off such a huge fir tree, with an incredible expression!
This is the case in the Sheep Tongue Valley, how can the other Jing people not be surprised, looking at the logging saws of the Great Qin craftsmen pulling, they were stunned and didn't say anything.
They already knew the kindness given to them by Daqin, and now they saw Daqin's craftsmen sawing wood, and they sighed a little, and at that moment, two or three people took two steps first, and said to the foundry craftsmen who were unable to do it themselves.
The craftsman of the foundry naturally agreed, and seeing this, someone took the lead, and in an instant, those Jing people behind him stepped towards the craftsman and picked up the logging saw.
The director of the foundry, Qian Xi, said: "There are not a few logging saws, although you choose to use them, the saw edge is very sharp, don't hurt your hands!" ”
Although the sound was loud, it was drowned out by the sound of trumpets.
"Boom!"
After just a pillar of incense, a giant tree hugged by four or five people finally fell in response!
