Chapter 37 Establishment of the Seiko Workshop

"It's been announced! Or two announcements! Come and see! ”

"Let's go and see the announcement!"

"Who's going to read what is written on the announcement?"

"The heavy weapon of the soldier country, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen the weapon, now set up a Seiko workshop, especially recruit blacksmiths, carpenters, tailors, leather craftsmen to join the Seigong, and recruit 500 apprentices to study weapons and armor and other heavy weapons for our village. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info those who enter the Seiko Workshop may be hired, and the formal craftsman will be paid 500 wen per month, and the apprentice will be paid 200 wen per day。。。。。。 ”

"Ah, 500 Wen, I asked my second child to apply for a job"

"I want to participate, I want to participate, where can I sign up?"

。。。。。。

Early in the morning of June 10, the first year of the Great Controversy, an announcement was posted in Qilin Village, and for a time many villagers rushed to watch, and the high treatment of the Seigong Workshop also made many villagers rush to participate.

However, with the exception of skilled blacksmiths, carpenters, tailors, and tanners, only 500 apprentices were recruited, and eventually a total of 33 craftsmen signed up, and the 500 apprentices were quickly filled.

Ten days ago, after receiving Wang Yantong's service, Sima Yu immediately went to their residence and took out a Huatuo Ji Shidan for Wang Yanzhang to take.

The effect of this elixir is really magical, the medicine is only an hour's time, Wang Yanzhang's internal injuries have healed most of them, but in a few days, the injuries of this fierce general have all recovered, just because of a long-term illness and some blood and gas, and a little conditioning can be restored to the state of the heyday.

And Wang Yanzhang, who already had a good impression of Sima Yu, didn't say a word after recovering, and also recognized Sima Yu as the master, and the two Hou Liang Meng will be taken under Sima Yu's command.

After the overjoyed Sima Yu and Guoyuan discussed, they immediately appointed Wang Yantong as the military Sima, responsible for recruiting a new army, and with Wang Yantong's strength, he commanded a group of soldiers and horses.

Because of Sima Yu's suggestion, the idea of the assembly line was successfully introduced into the production of food stamps, and there were already 100,000 finished products per day, but it took a few days to make up enough food stamps for the initial use.

After the grain stamps were put into use normally, Guoyuan no longer had to worry about the problem of too little copper coins, so Sima Yu decided to recruit another soldier.

At the same time, the five departments of Cheriji, Huchuquan, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao, and Wang Yantong were combined into one battalion, and the Shaoshan Battalion was established, and Wang Yanzhang was appointed as the captain of the supervising army and the five soldiers and horses of the governor.

At first, Cheriji, Hu Chuquan, Zhou Cang, and Pei Yuanshao were still a little unconvinced, but the army has always respected the strong, and after seeing Wang Yanzhang's peerless force and training talents, they also had to surrender.

With the newly recruited 1,000 soldiers in place, Sima Yu's original only 90 ancient artifact bags have all been opened, and after all the soldiers are equipped, the weapons and equipment reserved for replacement are already insufficient.

Moreover, at this stage, all the soldiers are equipped with weapons that are only rudimentary and not sophisticated.

At this stage, it is not a problem to face the forces around the coast, but once they face the well-equipped iron cavalry like the Eight Banners of the Great Qing Dynasty, I am afraid that they will suffer a big loss.

For this reason, the formation of Qilin Village's own weapon workshop had to be put on the agenda.

In the ancient era of cold weapons, the quality of weapons and equipment was very obvious for the improvement of soldiers' combat effectiveness.

Even if they were strong soldiers, if they were dressed in rags and armed with wooden sticks and rotten iron, they would not be able to defeat the heavily armed new army.

Moreover, Qilin Village has a natural advantage in the development of weapons manufacturing, in the open space next to the warehouse in Qilin Village, 160W units of iron ore are piled up into a small mountain, and 160W units of iron ore are equivalent to 1600 tons.

Sima Yu has already looked for experienced blacksmiths, the quality of these iron ores is very high, even if the ancient iron-making methods are relatively backward, according to the low proportion of iron, I am afraid that more than 600 tons of steel can be smelted.

According to the calculation of 2-3 kg of iron used in ordinary weapons, 600 tons of steel can make 200,000 pieces of weapon armor, enough to equip nearly 100,000 troops.

In the future, with the activation of other resource packages, Sima Yu will also open more iron ore.

Moreover, in Sima Yu's impression, the Sichuan-Chongqing area also has some coal reserves, which are completely enough for Qilin Village in terms of the efficiency and scale of iron-making in ancient times, and he has already sent a lot of people to investigate.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about the raw materials for ironmaking, and only need to train enough blacksmiths to expand the scale of production.

In Sima Yu's plan, the ordnance manufacturing industry will also become one of the pillar industries of his territory in the future.

Since ancient times, the sale of weapons and ordnance has been a profiteering business.

The location of the Seiko Workshop is located in the south of Qilin Village near the edge of the city wall, and the entire Seiko Workshop covers an area of nearly 100,000 square meters.

In the clearing, a man of about 30 inches with a board size left behind is directing the workers to build a precision workshop, and horse-drawn wagons carry a large amount of supplies to the place.

This man's name is Wang Zhiyuan, and Sima Yu is the same post-80s generation from later generations, originally a senior technician of Heavy Steel, after coming to this world, he almost died in Huangquan several times, and finally came to Qilin Village after several twists and turns.

After Sima Yu issued the recruitment order, Wang Zhiyuan came to the recruitment hall for the first time to recommend himself.

When Sima Yu learned that someone was from the same era as him, he immediately summoned Wang Zhiyuan, and after some conversation, Sima Yu found that this Wang Zhiyuan was a standard technical nerd, a talent, but with an upright temperament, to put it bluntly, it was a tendon, and it could be used with confidence.

This made Sima Yu attach more importance to him, and directly appointed him as the director of the Seiko Workshop after the establishment of the Seiko Workshop, fully responsible for the construction and post-production of the Seiko Workshop.

On the construction site, hundreds of workers skillfully use axles to transport large stones to the center of the site, and as the craftsmen pile up, five circular bases with a diameter of up to 5 meters have been formed.

Around these five circular buildings, hundreds of small refining blast furnaces have been built.

Wang Zhiyuan, who took over such a big task for the first time, was so excited that he immediately spent several days designing these five blast furnaces based on his experience in his previous life, and he once promised Sima Yu that once these five blast furnaces were in normal operation, the daily pig iron output of Qilin Village would exceed 10 tons.

Moreover, Wang Zhiyuan, who came from later generations, naturally knew how to fry steel, and a large part of the hundreds of small iron-making blast furnaces around the five furnaces were planned for frying steel.

With the addition of enough manpower, once the Seiko is fully operational, the daily steel production of Kirin Town will reach about 2-3 tons, which is simply unimaginable in ancient times.

Coupled with enough manpower to smelt and forge, Qilin Town will be able to produce hundreds or thousands of sets of high-quality equipment every day.

Sima Yu seemed to have seen that he was walking on the broad road of the arms king, and the rolling wealth was pouring towards him.

Immediately, Sima Yu ordered Guoyuan to fully cooperate with Wang Zhiyuan's work in terms of materials and manpower.
