Chapter 145: Intelligence and Chess and Card Room

Zhang San didn't speak on the side, and the princess turned around twice and said: "This matter is very important, and the transfer of personnel in the capital is even more taboo, I need to go to the imperial brother tomorrow morning and ask him for a holy decree."

Zhang San nodded and said, "The princess said very much, and the villain retired." ā€

The princess nodded and said, "That Gongzi Zhang will go back first, and if there is something in the future, he will come to visit by name." ā€

Zhang San bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Princess." ā€

After Zhang San left, the princess thought about it and was not at ease, so she called the head of the guards and arranged for him to go to the capital to inquire carefully to see if the situation was really as serious as Zhang San said. The leader of the guards immediately took the order and left.

Zhang San went out of the princess's mansion, thinking that this should be half the success, Zhang San and the monkey returned to Zhuangzi, Zhang San specially called the monkey and Zhou Feng, and each of them withdrew ten yuan of activity funds, and the other found two shrewd subordinates, and asked them to inquire about the movements of these people and prepare for the next move.

After the two left, Zhang San thought about Yixing Hutchison and went to the carpentry room to take a turn, these tables, chairs and benches are simple, but these various games are troublesome, especially mahjong to ensure that the back of each card is exactly the same. At the current level of materials, only wood is painted. It's just that the handmade is too slow, and it is estimated that one person can't make a pair in a day.

There is also poker, which must also be a special paper, checkers, Go, chess, backgammon and the like are easy to solve, and there is also the inspiration that Zhang San got from the promotion map, preparing to make the Great Song version of the military flag.

While thinking about it, Zhang San arranged for the carpenter to make tables and chairs of various shapes. It is convenient to play all kinds of games, and these chess pieces can only be made of wood and ceramics.

Go, checkers, backgammon chess pieces only need to get some ceramic clay balls, can be fired, chess can also be carved from wood, mahjong finally Zhang San asked the carpenter to decide to use two kinds of wood and bamboo.

Fortunately, the initial production scale was not large, Zhang San asked Wu Decai to go to the market to find two or three masters who can carve or have experience in making bamboo and wood furniture.

Yesterday, Li Si's side had already started to produce briquettes, and Zhang San specially dispatched a best-selling coal vendor to teach Li Si's new recruit. Zhang San also began to produce board cars here, at least each of these stalls must be equipped with more than one or two to be enough, always buy from others, it is better to do it yourself, Zhang San recruited two more carpenters, and now there are five carpenters and five apprentices here.

Now there is still a lot of work, and after a period of time, there will be less life, so just set up a furniture workshop. Today, Wu Decai found these people who specialize in mahjong and chess.

Zhang San is talking to the potter team leader who came over about firing chess pieces, this thing is also relatively simple, nothing more than some ceramic balls and ceramic cakes, all of which are mature technology, Zhang San arranged for him to organize a few ingenious people to specialize in this. The potter nodded and went back to prepare.

Zhang San was about to go to the carpenter to make a box for the chess pieces, and Liu Yun saw that Zhang San was busy with things and stepped forward: "There is a person named Liu Qiao outside the third brother looking for you, saying that you asked him to come." ā€

Of course, Zhang San remembered this coppersmith, and immediately went out, outside the gate, Liu Qiao was pacing back and forth behind the door, and when he saw Zhang San coming out, he immediately came over and shouted with his fists: "Third brother." ā€

Zhang San nodded and patted him on the shoulder: "Go to the house and go." ā€

Entering the hall, Zhang San thought for a moment and asked, "How did you think about it?" ā€

Liu Qiao grinned and said, "I have inquired, the third brother is the most benevolent and righteous, and I am willing to follow the third brother." ā€

Zhang San looked at him and nodded, "It's okay, what will you do?" ā€

Liu Qiao immediately patted his chest and said: "My family has been engaged in bronze production for generations, and I can make any bronze ware." ā€

Zhang San thought about it and asked, "Do you know how to smelt copper?" I need a hard-wearing copper, I don't know if you can make it. ā€

Liu Qiao thought about it and said: "Third brother, if you want to talk about wear-resistant, I know that there is a bronze material that is very wear-resistant. ā€

Zhang San nodded and said, "Very good, you go back and pack your things first and move here today, I'm arranging what you do in the afternoon." ā€

Liu Qiao was overjoyed after hearing this: "Okay, third brother, I'll go back and pack my things." After saying that, he bowed to Zhang Sanyi and hurriedly ran out of the door.

Zhang San smiled: "Don't worry, come back first." ā€

Liu Qiao stopped when he heard this, looked at Zhang San, Zhang San stepped forward and said, "What are you anxious about, aren't you still in arrears with the landlord's rent?" Can he let you go without checking out? How much is he missing? ā€

Liu Qiao smiled and said, "It's okay, it's only two or three dollars left and right, and it's just a few things to compensate him." ā€

Zhang San pulled him and said, "I'll pay you three times first, and you go back to pay back his house money." ā€

Liu Qiao heard that Zhang San was willing to give him money first, and his eyes were red with emotion, Zhang San was not polite to him, took three times of money from Sister-in-law Yang, and handed it to him to let him go back to clean up, Liu Qiao took the money and left quickly, and Zhang San went to do other things. Now that Go, Xiangqi and so on are still very good to sell, Zhang San is going to build a special workshop.

There is also Liu Qiao's matter, in fact, Zhang San's plan to take him in is to let him try to make a lighter, matches are still very complicated for Zhang San, who is not good at chemistry, safety matches are not to mention for the time being, phosphorus matches may not be done well, and there is no machine today, the production of a match stalk is a very troublesome thing.

Lighters are different, Zhang San has played a lot of old-fashioned gasoline lighters, and the structure is not very complicated, and now the most troublesome thing is just airtightness, flint and springs. Tightness, no plastic can be solved with cork or animal tendons or glue, flint can be made of a grinding wheel, spring problem, although there is no spring steel now, but ordinary steel is not impossible to make springs, but there is no special spring steel The effect is good, and a lighter does not need too good springs.

Through this incident, Zhang San also wants to try several small machines powered by hand, accumulate experience for the research and development of large machine tools in the future and train skilled workers, and once the lighters can be stably produced, then the problem of flintlock guns will not be solved.

The gasoline in it is not without oil now, and a few more attempts will always succeed. Anyway, you don't need to be more precise than the purification, as long as it can be used. Now oil is also called fierce fire oil, and there are really many places in China now, and the capital can get it, such as the ordnance prison.

There are all kinds of places in the south near Yan'an, and they are not expensive. It is also enough for Zhang San's current usage. Now if you want to make these small things, it is urgent to make special tools.

For example, grinding chess pieces can be much more efficient if there is a rotating stone mill, and there are small boxes for holding various chess pieces, and if there is a small circular saw, it will be more accurate and efficient than manual ones. Moreover, this circular saw can be used to enlarge the use of animal power, and can also be used for other wood production.
