Luan Yi taught Pu Yuan not to keep his eyes on the hammer, to know how to emancipate the mind, to set his vision higher and farther, to learn to use tools to make tools, and then let the tools play the maximum efficiency, so that production becomes more efficient, so that the production of materials and quantities increase simultaneously. In this process, the tools required can be complex and difficult to forge. But once it's shaped, it's once and for all.

Just like the mold for refining armor scales, which one is not forged with great painstaking work, but with the mold, craftsmen no longer have to be like in the past, each scale needs to be beaten with great painstaking efforts, and the speed is not to mention for the time being, even if the craftsman is skilled, the scales refined by different craftsmen will inevitably have different sizes.

Once the size is inconsistent, it brings a lot of trouble to the workers who thread the needle and thread to sew the armor. In many cases, because it cannot be assembled, it has to be re-refined, resulting in a waste of resources and a waste of effort.

The appearance of the mold can completely solve the above problems. The armor made by the mold of the same specification is exactly the same in length and thickness, which greatly improves the production efficiency of the armor.

"Forging tools with tools?" Listening to Luan Yi's words, Pu Yuan immediately thought of the water-powered spinning wheel developed by his master Zheng Hun in the first five-year plan. If the large spinning wheel is compared to a large tool, then the planer and hammer used to make the spinning wheel are the superior tools. The large spinning wheel produced by planing and hammering greatly improves the production efficiency of cloth...... By extension, the upcycling of production tools can also greatly improve the production efficiency of products.

Pu Yuan suddenly realized. For a long time in the past, craftsmen subconsciously believed that the tools of production were for the production of products. Just like the sickle is for harvesting crops, the axe is for cutting wood, the pot is for cooking, the planer is for polishing furniture, and the spinning wheel is for weaving......

It's always been a tool to a product, and no one has ever paid attention to the in-between.

Speaking of technology, as long as the technical content span is not too large, solving technical problems within the scope of extreme cognition is actually just a matter of piercing a window paper.

Now, Luan Yi has pointed out the direction of the window to Pu Yuan, and the rest is for Pu Yuan to follow the direction of Luan Yi's guidance, find the window, and pierce the layer of paper.

Sensing that Pu Yuan had understood, Luan Yi smiled happily and gave Pu Yuan the goal of achieving mass production of the divine sword in three years, asking him to install the divine sword in every legion of the church within five years, become the standing blade of the church's guards, and replace the old iron knife.

In the days that followed, Pu Yuan really lived up to Luan Yi's high expectations. In only three years, on the basis of the popular iron roasting technology, the pig iron was used as a carburizing agent to accelerate the carburizing speed of wrought iron and shorten the smelting time.

Pu Yuan called this iron-making method the Suzhou Iron Method, but it is not difficult for those who have any knowledge of steel in later generations to find that the metal that is refined by this production process and mixed with enough carbon in the iron can no longer be called iron, but real steel.

The emergence of the Su Tie method is of epoch-making significance for the improvement of smelting efficiency under the block. It not only means that the future church army will be equipped with more indestructible blades, but also means that steel equipment can be used in large quantities, due to the late bronze and early iron Chinese civilization, in the field of metal smelting has crossed several stages, and its technical level is at least 500 years higher than that of other peoples, and it has directly entered the age of steel.

got such a big harvest, Luan Yiyan can not be happy. What made him even more ecstatic was that after the Su Tie Fa, Pu Yuan adhered to the concept of making tools with tools taught by Luan Yi, and actually designed a device called a foot-operated spiral grinder, which used the foot pedal method to rotate the iron plate, and added sand and water to forge mechanical tools, which could make screws and other things that had not been manufactured before, and at the same time allowed the mass production of gear appliances.

Luan Yi will never forget the excitement he felt at the moment when he saw the design of the pedal spiral grinder. Although he didn't know much about mechanical engineering, just listening to his function, he could imagine that the guy in front of him with the theme of wooden structure was none other than a primitive rickshaw with nut and gear processing capabilities.

If the emergence of the Sugang method is of epoch-making significance, then as the mother of all machines, the emergence of the lathe, the mother machine of tools, is undoubtedly equivalent to bringing the current Han into a new field. With the power of lathes, many precision devices that were difficult and impossible to forge in the past can be mass-produced and used in more advanced product development and manufacturing.

Admittedly, today's foot-operated spiral grinders are a bit rudimentary in terms of structure and function. However, Luan Yi firmly believes that as long as the first step is taken, after the first lathe is manufactured, the difficulties of the technical level have been overcome, and the rest of the upcycling is undoubtedly much simpler. He believed in Pu Yuan's ability to improve the lathe, and at the same time, he trusted the workers of the ordnance smelter to brainstorm ideas to make better lathes from generation to generation.

Therefore, in order to stimulate the production enthusiasm of the ordnance factory, and even all the craftsmen of the parish. At the same time, in recognition of Pu Yuan's outstanding contributions to the innovation of Dahan steelmaking and forging technology, Luan Yi renamed the Su Iron Smelting Method as the Pu Shi Steelmaking Method for future generations, and crowned Pu Yuan Guannei Hou, hereditary replacement. He was awarded the Order of Heroes of the First Class of the Church of Our Lady, and was rewarded with gold and a thousand grains.

Pu Yuan, as a craftsman, was added to the rank of knight, and was named a hero, which can be called the first person in history. The honor obtained can be described as unprecedented, and few have come since. Gratitude is no longer a word.

Of course, this is a later story, and I will mention it here for the time being.

Time goes back to the sixth year of the Holy Yuan. After three days at the Ordnance Smelter, it was late spring and early summer when I set out on my way home. In this season of revival, the land of the diocese is full of vitality, and the verdant deciduous vegetation, after a winter dormancy and a spring of growth, reaches this period, fully stretching out, showing the beauty of spring and the prosperity of summer through sight, smell and hearing.

In the eye, the mountains are full of green; In the nose, it is full of the fragrance of flowers and earth; In the ears, the singing of birds came and went, flooding the entire hill. In the fields, there are also farmers singing happily.

Luan Yi stopped all the way like this, and hurried to enjoy the next time under the escort of 300 personal soldiers. On the way, the banner of St. Nuwa, which symbolizes the head of the Holy Mother of Mary, held by his own soldiers, has been found by roadside farmers many times. For a while, the peasants who were working in the fields were boiling, and they rushed back to the village to bring the old and the young. "Puff, puff" knelt down in a large area, drew a cross on his chest and shouted: "Our Lady bless, the leader is well." ”

Luan Yi, who was sitting on a tall horse, raised his right hand to the people on both sides of the road with a kind smile on his face, and responded in a loud voice: "Brothers and sisters, may the master mother bless you." ”

Hearing this, the people on the roadside couldn't help but be stunned. In their impressions, the sect leader and his old man are the assassins of Yanzhou, and such a feudal official is an unattainable existence for them. Don't say that the last sentence is not easy to meet.

But today, the sect leader spoke to them personally? And let Our Lady bless them...... It's simply unheard of.

They suddenly felt full of glory and secretly sighed that everyone in the world said that the sect leader was close to the people, and it was true. Come to think of it, the reason why the sect leader can do so many practical things to benefit the people must be related to his closeness to the people.

Driven by strong emotion and excitement, many people left tears of excitement, knelt on the edge of the field, choked and muttered words of thanks to the Holy Sect and the Sect Master.

Cheng Yu, who went south to Yanzhou with Luan Yi, saw this scene and felt a lot of emotion in his heart. "No wonder the Cao Guild was defeated in the hands of Ziqi, with this popular will, even if Cao Gong did not Zhongziqi's plan to lure the enemy, once the two sides fought a protracted war and a war of attrition, with the prolongation of the war, in the end, Cao Gong still only had one result."

He was secretly glad that Cao Cao's decision to surrender was correct, and at the same time recalled what Luan Yi had told him the night before.

He remembered that Luan Yi said: "The people of Dahan are extremely lovely. They are not like many fanbangs and barbarians, who have never-ending desires and rude thoughts. For thousands of years, they have been ruled and enslaved by generations of lords. This mode of domination reached its peak in the Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, when they were subdued and their minds were filled with servile thoughts under the indoctrination of the Confucian Three Principles and Five Constants, and after hundreds of years of brainwashing and bloodbathing in war. Since then, they have been completely insulated from rights to a certain extent, and they have never thought of taking back the rights that should belong to them. They are like beasts of prey in hunter's uniform, as long as the master can reward him with a bite to eat and prevent him from starving to death, he will obediently guard his master's side. Drive away ill-intentioned neighbors for the master, and catch fat and tender prey for the master. The people of the Han Dynasty were like this, a small favor would make them grateful to Dade, and a good meal would buy their loyalty. As long as you grasp these psychology, you will win their respect and trust, as well as unswerving sincerity. ”

At first, Cheng Yu couldn't fully understand Luan Yi's remarks, which were full of strange words and word order. I just kept it in my mind as if I was swallowing dates.

Now, seeing the people of the parish seeing Luan Yi like this, he gradually understood the deep meaning of Luan Yi's words.

For a long time, the people at the bottom of the Han Dynasty have never been rich, not to mention the tragic situation of Huan Ling's two mediocre emperors during their reigns, even if they were as strong as Wen and Emperor Wu, when Emperor Guangwu was in the middle of the rise, the lives of the people could only be described as reluctantly passable. The reason why this is the case is not that the Han Dynasty is not rich in products, on the contrary, in the later years of Emperor Wen, the Han Dynasty was so rich that the people were poor and the court was full of money.

There are two main reasons for this situation. On the one hand, the imperial court advocated being prepared for danger in times of peace, so it piled up money and grain in the granary to prepare for disaster relief in the year, even if it was bitten by insects and rats, it was not used to benefit the people; On the other hand, the imperial court was afraid that once the local people had money and food, they would have bad intentions, so they would form military horses to rebel against the imperial court.

With these two points, the life of the people of the Han Dynasty has been tepid, and when they meet the Ming Jun and the peaceful and prosperous times, they can barely survive, and when they meet a faint king like Huan Ling, life is worse than death, and they are starving all over the wilderness. The people couldn't survive, so they had no choice but to rise up, and the Taishan Uprising and the Yellow Turban Uprising ...... Borrowed from here. This is also the parable that Luan Yi said, the master was given food to the hound, and the hounds turned around to devour the lord.
