Li Zhe's pretentiousness rubbed the hearts of the farmers hot. Everyone was in high spirits, eager to learn blacksmith work immediately, only Hu Shi saw a little clue, and after everyone slowly dispersed, he came to Li Zhe's side,

"Sir! Do you want to be a firecracker workshop too? ”

Yes, it is a workshop, which is different from a traditional blacksmith shop, when there are more and more blacksmith masters and apprentices in a blacksmith shop, and they begin to gradually refine the division of labor and build equipment on a large scale, such a place can not be called a blacksmith shop, but a workshop.

It is not the product of the historical stage of the transformation into a modern factory without the specialization and scale of a modern factory.

Li Zhe encouraged Tian Liu and his family to learn to be craftsmen, not thinking about what it would be to be a workshop.

Li Zhe smiled and said to his companion,

"As far as you're clever, can you only see your way?"

"The old guys in the village can see it, but I'm providing a better way out for their children, and it's too late for them to be happy, who will stand up and debunk me?"

This is true, as a tenant in the land to dig food can not be compared to work in the workshop, even if it is just the simplest apprentice, it is better than the farmer, this era, there are many people have seen clearly, Tianzhuzhou gradually rose to the workshop fever has gradually penetrated the hearts of the people.

The traditional export products of the Song people were silk, spices and porcelain, but with the rise of modern iron and steel machine power represented by spinning wheels, silk wheels and steam engines, the general trend of the rise of the machine textile industry in Tianzhuzhou has been irreversible.

In recent decades, the wealthy of the Song dynasty have begun to enter the industry in a big way.

The relatively abundant population of Tianzhu Island is also being diverted from the planting industry in a steady stream to work in various workshops that have sprung up everywhere.

In the eyes of later generations, this transformation process was the classic primary industrial revolution, the first unprecedented large-scale division of labor in society. But in this era, people seem to be digging in the fields and planting for about a year is just to harvest some edible food, but working in the workshop, the harvest is heavy and shiny money!

Even though it is true that working in the factory is harder, the poor clanging farmers still prefer to work in the workshop.

Now Li He wants to set up a workshop in his manor and invite the children in the manor to do work and learn crafts, which is a great thing, and no one will come out to oppose it.

"Then to make a workshop, just these dozens of people in our Zhuangzi can't do it, there are not enough people." Thinking about this, Hu Shi habitually worried about his master.

Li Zhe smiled when he heard this,

"No, I've got enough, and I'm not going to have our blacksmiths use sledgehammers to make the barrel for me?"

"No sledgehammers? What is that used for? ”

"Hu Shi! I've had you go to school for a few years, but haven't you heard of a steam engine? ”

"What, a steam engine?"

Hu Shi's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of surprise.

He has heard of the steam engine, only knows that it is very magical, I heard that it can be used to pump water and move things, the steam crane on the port of Mengzhou Port is used to lift things, the strength is great, many people call it the iron bull, but in Hu Shi's opinion, the real iron bull is probably not so powerful, this steam engine can still be used to build a fire gun?

"Hehe, I don't know! You know what you learn in school and you don't know why. The steam engine can be used for a lot more than you might think. It is used to make things, the strength is great, the speed is fast, our workshop, I plan to use the latest set of steam engine tools! ”

Hu Shi was puzzled by what Li Zhe said, he really didn't know much about this to be honest, even so, he was also a senior talent with all-round talents under Li Zhe, it can be seen that although the steam engine has been invented for decades in this era, it is not widely used in society.

As in later history, the progress of any scientific and technological revolution and the process of social adaptation is a long process of machines. The Great Song Dynasty was the same.

Li Zhe said in his heart, I can be regarded as contributing to the promotion and application of the steam engine in the Great Song Dynasty.

The reason why Li Zhe knew about the application technology of steam engines in this era was due to the fact that the official scientific and technological research institute under the three divisions of Anwangfu was located in this era, the Jiangzuoyuan.

Many students in the state school are interested in this kind of thing, although the state school does not have a technical subject such as physics and machinery, which is still called the study of cheap servants and businessmen in this era, but objectively the role of science and technology in promoting the development of society can not be concealed, everyone knows that learning these things can make money, just like the official astronomy and navigation of the Great Song Dynasty, people will always turn around to learn and study these things with the most value of the times.

Li Zhe used to follow his classmates to the Jiangzuo Academy to play, and it is strange to say that the original owner before Li Zhe possessed him, although he didn't know anything about literature and other things, but he was very interested in mechanical things, and he learned quickly.

There are several steam engines in the courtyard, and various uses of steam engines are studied every day.

"Is what the master said true?"

Hu Shi listened to what Li Zhe said, but he still couldn't believe it.

"It's true, when you get it back, you'll know how powerful it is!"

Li Zhe explained to his companion that the steam engine was still in the stage of exploration and application in this era, and it had not developed its endless use, but he knew it! Since the time travel, only then can he sincerely feel the crushing of the intelligence of these predecessors from the modern brain, and his heart is extremely happy.

"But sir, even if we are really able to use a steam engine to build a fire gun as the master said, it is profitable, and the imperial court will not let us open a fire gun workshop in our own house casually, right?"

Hu Shi said frustratedly again, what he said was right. After all, the firecracker is a heavy weapon of the military state, not just anyone can open it casually, just like the blacksmith shop like Master Zhang wants to build the firecracker, it is also necessary to report to the imperial court, and a series of data such as output, style, specification, and sales object must be transmitted to the government regularly for verification by the imperial court, not to mention that Li Zhe wants to engage in a larger output of the firecracker workshop.

"It's okay!"

Li Zhe waved his hand and said in his heart, this problem, if it was a few days ago when there was no county lord covering, Li Zhe probably really had no certainty to solve it, but now that he has the relationship with the county lord, if he wants to build a small fire hammer workshop, he can't do it himself, then it will be too wasteful.

The county lord's signboard was not hung in vain.

After inspecting the Zhuangzi, Tianyan saw that it was almost afternoon, and the weather was hot, so Li Zhe and his group were too lazy to rush into the city in the sun, so they had lunch in this Zhuangzi.

Who knows, this box is just serving rice in Zhuangzi,

"Sir! Master! ”

A person rode a horse sweating and rushed into the manor, Li Zhe saw that the horse was covered with red blood, damn, this is Lao Tzu's mount, Li Zhe's only few purebred sweat and blood horses, and then look at the knight on the horse, who is not the full-time Mavlahal in his own family?

Who let this kid ride his own horse, what should I do if such a precious sweat and blood BMW is ridden like this, and the ride is wasted?

Li Zhe saw his baby horse is eyes changed, and he wanted to lose his temper, if these horses in the family were placed in the previous life, it would be sky-high, and he himself was reluctant to ride, who knew that the Malays couldn't stand steadily, and he was panting, and said urgently:

"Master, hurry, hurry up and enter the city, there is a lawsuit...... It's coming to our door! said that he wanted to take the old man to King An to ask for sin! ”

"Huh? What the? ”

When Li Zhe heard this, he was directly stupid.
