Liang Xing was a little bit like this, and his heart was also puffed up, and he was a few steps behind at the moment, and told Zhang Chun to ask him to bring the bird gun earlier.

"You can use it carefully." Zhang Chun smiled: "I also practiced that, and it wasn't broken in my hands." ”

"Let's go for it, I'll miss the two of you."

Zhang Chun looked at Liang Xing and said with a smile: "The proprietor is still slowly picking people, and only the confidants who have been trusted by the fire gun can do it, at present, we are the two of us, we will definitely use the Lu Mi gun, we have learned, the proprietor picks out people, and we will take people to practice, so not only do we have to practice well, the proprietor also said, we have to think about how to load fast, how to hit accurately, what is the difference between Lu Mi Gong and Bird Gong, and is there any good improvement...... By the way, there are also books, I'll show you when I get back. ”

Liang Xing knew how to read when he was a child, and now he is also learning to read and write, but it is still very difficult for him to read books, Zhang Chun looked at Liang Xing's face and smiled: "Don't worry, there are fewer words and more pictures in that book, you can't read hard." ”

"Sincerely." Liang Xing now understands in his heart that Zhang Chun is pointing out that the proprietor treats himself as a confidant, and he also has the meaning of making friends.

……

"Proprietor, this is the new carriage with a steering axle."

This time the person who took the turn to introduce was Li Changnian, who was thin and tall, like a bamboo pole, nicknamed Li Changshan, the craftsmen had no leader at the beginning, Li Changnian and Wang Debang were the ones who came earlier, and they had high loyalty after a long time, and they knew more rules, and later a dozen craftsmen slowly regarded these two people as leaders, and it happened that Zhang Han also divided them into two groups, Li Changnian's group was responsible for improving the carriage, and there was also a group of people responsible for building and repairing weapons for the dart masters, and there was a leader named Yang Hegao, It's just that the status is not as high as Wang Debang and Li Changnian.

At that time, Liang Hong and Lao Cai were uniformly promoted, Li Yujing kept accounts, Yang Shiming recorded in the treasury account, and it was clearly organized, how much materials were used to make the fee, and the craftsmen rewarded and used the peace and use are also such expenses, these things may not be done well even for the government, the current officials are different from the two Han and Tang dynasties, and the government has been completely inadequate, there is no arithmetic and other miscellaneous support, and there is almost no ability and talent of the directors who only pass the eight shares, and of course there is no will, The biggest advantage of Zhang Han here is that all are businessmen, businessmen can be said to be the most efficient group of people in the Ming Dynasty, everything must be arranged in advance, to be organized, to be hierarchical, such requirements generally only appear in the army, in the European countries of the same era, local grassroots forces, including the police, most of them are played by veteran sergeants, this is because the army is a place that talks about rules and planning and efficiency, and in the Ming Dynasty, On the surface, the rulers were the emperor and the Confucian scholars, but in fact the local rulers were the clans and officials dominated by the gentry, and these people were precisely the most unruly, unplanned, and inefficient group of people.

The trial production of new cars is also an important research and development topic, Zhang Han has a lot of craftsmen here, even the strongest craftsmen in Xinping Fort have been collected by him, and recently he has been looking for craftsmen in other forts and acropolis, even if this strength is definitely insufficient, Zhang Han personally painted a model for these craftsmen, and the carriage with this steering axle was also trial-produced in the past two months.

It is necessary to build a car, even if it is in the mountainous areas of the north, it is still a two-wheeled vehicle to run, and it is good to be able to walk down the two-wheeled car on the road from the state and county to the township level, only the large official road connecting the military towns in Beijing can get off the large carriage, and the conditions of the official road are slightly better, these places also happen to be the places where Zhang Han has the most layout, and it is inseparable from a good cart to collect and transport grain.

The previous cars were two-wheeled vehicles, clumsy and slow, the design was very poor, two mules or donkeys pulled, a car pulled up to a dozen stone grain, the nearest point could not be loaded with twenty stones, at most three thousand catties, generally two thousand catties of load, that kind of big four-wheeled Zhang Han also seen, more cumbersome than two wheels, pull six or eight horses, can receive five thousand catties to six thousand catties, but the walking speed is outrageous, and very fragile, with such a four-wheeled vehicle is not as good as two wheels.

The car in front of him is a newly made four-wheeled car, Zhang Han's drawings are drawn according to his own memory, the body is longer, the guard plate is high in front and low in the back, the front guard plate is inlaid with a seat nailed by a wooden board, there are legs below, two layers of boards are made of the coachman's seat, under the coachman's seat is the front wheel, there is a long rod and two sides of the handguard to connect the front wheel, this is the connecting rod, the two front wheels are not fixed on the wooden frame like the previous carriage, but with the middle roller and the connecting rod connected, and the long connecting rod is fixed on the disc type front axle, The part of the connection between the wheel and the body is combined with the front wheel suspension, so that the front wheel suspension is also turned as a whole when the mule and horse turn.

When Zhang Han observed the carriage, Li Changnian and a group of craftsmen in the carriage group were nervous, Li Changnian's hands were slightly trembling, unlike Wang Debang, his manufacturing process was almost all Zhang Han's mention, and his contribution was in the craft, if this was not done well, he felt that he had a negative trust, and he was almost not qualified to stay here.

When I think of this, the craftsmen of each carriage group are sweating, they are tantamount to heaven here, and if they are fired, they might as well die.

The surroundings are quiet, even the children who often play noisily back and forth are very sensible to stop playing, in the eyes of those children, Zhang Han is like a celestial person, every time they eat a bowl of rice, every bite of food, their parents are telling them that this is the grace of the proprietor Zhang, to remember it firmly.

It may be that there are people in this era who do not repay their kindness or do not know how to be grateful, but they are only a minority.

"Well done, very good."

After watching it for a while, Zhang Han finally showed a satisfied look on his face.

At this moment, all the members of the carriage group breathed a sigh of relief, and this time they sighed for a long time, and the sound was so loud that it almost formed a wave of qi.

The originally oppressive atmosphere was suddenly loosened, and the dolls of half size and no small were cheering not far away.

Zhang Han turned his head to look at the children, Wang Debang saw that his eldest son was also inside, and hurriedly said: "The proprietor, the villain will drive them away." ”

"Don't make it," Zhang Han said with a smile: "I mean it's a pity for you children, now there is a shortage of people everywhere, a lack of buddies and shopkeepers, a lack of craftsmen, a storehouse, a ledger, everywhere, these boys look clever, no matter how they learn the craft, it is best to be literate...... I know you're also teaching them crafts, but they're too young to learn the craft and can't get in, and it's not like to talk about it every day, I asked someone to set up a literacy class, not only your baby, but also the children of the guys in the store can come to learn, and the tuition fee is not charged to you, and I also call the school to provide a meal every day, what do you think? ”

The children of each family look wild, in fact, they can help the family from morning to night, these craftsmen raise chickens, ducks and geese in the yard, all of them are taken care of by children, if it is not for a meal, Zhang Han knows that these people may not be reluctant in their hearts, although with his prestige and power to do whatever he wants, but Zhang Han has always been thoughtful, and the effect of people's own willingness and coercion must be different.

"Most of us are blind, and we don't hope that we can eat enough now, and the children can still read and write, so what's not to want."

Wang Debang knelt down and snorted his head as he spoke, and the rest of the craftsmen knelt down, and everyone put their heads on the mud floor.

Later generations of people can not understand the respect and thirst for knowledge of people in this era, there is a Xiucai in the countryside is basically sideways, can be exempted from Ding service, can be exempted from a certain amount of land rent, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's regulations is Xiucai is exempt from 30 acres, to Wanli 46 years a Xiucai can basically be exempted from 1200 acres, in the Xiucai will be someone to donate the field, the picture is preferential, like Fan Jin is still a minority after all, the benefits are real, whether the words are ignored or not, they are respectfully held, The Chinese's respect for readers is in their bones, but now Daming's readers are really not growing, and this nation and country have also been finished by them.

Zhang Han didn't help them, and when everyone shook their heads, he smiled and said: "You snort my head to thank me, and I have accepted it, but if you really thank me, you can read and read by yourself, some things are available in books, and you can read and understand books with pictures if you know a few hundred words, which saves me a lot of trouble." In this way, it is still a literacy class, but only for adults, and it is good to learn something practical and quick. ”

The craftsmen were not as happy as they had just been with this decision, they worked hard every day, and they just wanted to rest early at night, and if they were literate, they would have to spend a lot of energy and spirit, but Zhang Han did not allow them to object, and did not discuss, and after speaking, they went to see the carriage again, and everyone had to hold back their words, and could not say any more.

"This carriage is covered with a belt for horses, and the belt should be short and strong, so that the frame will not directly hit the horse when turning and stopping, and there is a cushioning force, so that the mule and horse will not be injured."

"Yes, proprietor." Li Changnian said respectfully: "We will try to make it according to what the proprietor said in a while, and use cowhide to make it." ”

"What kind of skin is not tight, it should be short and strong, and it should be put on the mule and horse and there is a force buffer between the vehicle."

The car in front of Zhang Han is preliminarily formed, and the most important thing is the wheel axle, the original Chinese-style carriage is fixed on two wheels on the frame, which is difficult to steer, and it is clumsy and easy to break.

The use of bearings to connect to the frame, coupled with the front steering axle, the body is stronger and able to bear weight, and the steering is more convenient, which is already considered a preliminary success.
