Chapter 19: Dongzhen's three steps

Subsequently, several core technicians in charge of ironmaking did not sleep for many days, improved the methods and methods, and finally succeeded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Song Jiwen, Su Liangsan and others, who knew nothing about the physics and chemistry of later generations, certainly did not know the details of their uncle's ironmaking technology. As for the deeds he said, literati and writers like Su Liangsan and Song Benwen were drunk with smallpox when they heard what he said, and the more they listened, the more excited they became, and the more they listened, the more enthusiastic they became, and they fell drunk on the wine table after a few glasses in a row.

And for the Chen brothers and Cheng Zehum and other martial artists who don't know half a word, listening to these words is a crime! Compared with them, they prefer to drink, and they all like to drink with the "thousand cups without pouring" Su Tang Master, and in the end, they can't hold back the wine, and they are drunk on the wine table.

But Su Zedong is still sober, and he is also a descendant, and he immediately realized the shortcomings of his knowledge, that is, all the knowledge of science! Iron smelting is absolutely unfamiliar to Su Zedong, who writes geography on the physics test paper, history on the biology test paper, and Sipin on the chemistry paper, with a total score of less than 80 points, and writes 'liberal arts first' in the blank space of the test paper before handing in the paper!

Liu Zhenming saw that Su Zedong had shown his historical and philosophical thoughts that he had studied for more than ten years in the previous few things, and he was embarrassed by himself for the same future generations, and now it was finally time for him to pretend to be a bull fork!

But he really couldn't stand Su Zedong putting his sour literati into a body that was more powerful than anyone else, and he didn't agree with his concept of "carving" love, so he asked before he said: "Do you remember the chemical formula of how to replace iron?" ”

Seeing the latter shake his head, Liu Zhenming smiled and said, "Then we may have nothing to talk about." ”

Where is Su Zedong willing to let go, saying that he will definitely be able to figure it out after giving him five minutes.

And after five minutes, he began to pester Liu Zhenming with a dead face after writing "fe".

Liu Zhenming was helpless, he didn't want to embarrass Su Zedong too much, but if the other party didn't know anything, he would talk about it like talking about the book of heaven, but the other party was so stubborn that he wanted to listen to the book of heaven!

I had no choice but to compromise and ask: "Then have you heard of blast furnace ironmaking?" ”

Su Zedong nodded hurriedly and said, "Blast furnace ironmaking is developed and improved from ancient shaft furnace ironmaking!" Its technical and economic indicators are good, the process is simple, the production capacity is large, the labor productivity is high, and the energy consumption is low!"

Liu Zhenming smiled again: "Then we still have something to talk about." ”

To make iron in a blast furnace, you first need to prepare enough materials, otherwise it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice! Tons of iron ore required for ironmaking are indispensable, limestone, dolomite, fluorite as fluxes, and coke can be added.

For the more than 400 porters of Juyitang, as long as they give a little favor to the local residents, they can still gain something! There is absolutely no problem in collecting materials in the first month.

Su Zedong didn't understand the specific operation process of blast furnace ironmaking, but he could still often see from the news on TV and newspapers that there were many blast furnace ironmaking accidents, so he asked: "This technology is dangerous in future generations, let alone now..."

When Liu Zhenming heard him say this, his excited and complacent face immediately wilted, and he spread his hands and said: "Alas, the progress of science and technology is the same as the revolution, how can there be less bloodshed and sacrifice..."

"Especially at the beginning, I lost the lives of several local farmers on the first day, and there was no way; It has slowly improved, and I haven't heard of any more accidents since the week; I didn't dare to look at it, these days I have been giving some benefits to the local ruffians or village chiefs, so that they can supervise the work with me, and if there are any more lives, I guess I will give some money..."

As he was talking, Liu Zhenming finished drinking the newly added pot of daughter red.

Su Zedong didn't know what to say, the dozen or so lives that he had already known to have passed away were also responsible! Neither of them dared to mention it again, and meditated and drank to themselves.

Under the depression of the atmosphere, after eating a few pieces of cold West Lake vinegar fish, Su Zedong said: "Don't do it last night and this week." I looked at the accounts, and the iron farm tools and weapons were almost sold, and the inventory was enough to sell them in Gaoyou and nearby for another two months. At that time, there will be an oversupply in this land; This sales will be delayed by the war. ”

Liu Zhenming said "um" and then asked: "I don't want to do more with this iron, I don't want to talk about it, and the profit is small, so I want to play with firearms!"

It's just that before that, it was quite difficult to get raw materials if the funds were not enough.

So, in these two months, I have to sell this ironware that I have worked so hard to get! Can you get this sales channel and method right? ”

Su Zedong laughed: "How can it be bad, I haven't seen something that you can't do at the wine table and say that you don't want to bring benefits to others!" Thanks to the fact that the original owner of this body is young and has a good stomach, otherwise I would have given my life if I drank it for a month! ”

Then Su Zedong analyzed: After all the connections have been passed, now Dongzhen Company relies on the technology of blast furnace ironmaking to produce a large amount of high-quality iron, and the forged iron can produce a monopoly within a certain range, and the price is lower, it is good quality and low price, so that a monopoly can be formed;

Therefore, in the next few months, the first step is to use the existing abundant funds to establish cooperative relations with more than 20 blacksmith shops on Gaoyoucheng East Street, and even acquire good locations.

And as long as they are given enough silver taels, and then give each other a shop with a relatively poor location, but a larger scale than its original one, the transaction can be completed, and the matter has been started in the first week of the second month, and now it has been basically negotiated.

In this way, it solves the chain problems such as insufficient manpower and inadequate service caused by the lack of stores, and also increases the popularity of Dongzhen Company.

The second step is to select 18 shops closest to the city and suburbs from the 23 cooperative blacksmith shops on the basis of completing the first step, and specialize in manufacturing all kinds of iron weapons for the military.

This matter has been negotiated with Zhang Shicheng's subordinates, as long as there is a war, the Dongzhen blacksmith shop can provide enough weapons and food and grass supplies in the rear; And two months later, Huainan Province Pingzhang Political Affairs Gou Er and Privy Council Governor Shi Pu will successively lead troops to attack Gaoyou, and the war will start! When the time comes, you can make a lot of money.

In the third step, according to the historical process, resisting the attack of Gou Er and Shi Pu, Zhang Shicheng took advantage of the situation to occupy the vicinity of Gaoyou City, and after several counties in Jiangsu Province in later generations, he successfully recruited the late Yuan Dynasty fierce generals! Therefore, Dongzhen Company must spare no effort to build the fortifications of Gaoyou City.
