Chapter 49: The Curtain Opens (3)
In the early years of the Dynasty, Taizu Dingmin divided the fourth-class households of agriculture, industry and commerce, among which the artisan households did not have land, nor did they operate like merchants, and they suffered from forced labor and were very poor. The pen is getting www.biquge.info time is getting longer, the craftsmen are fleeing to Siyi, and the large families are raising more craftsmen for their own use. As the largest salt merchant in Fushun today, starting from Li Qi, he has collected many blacksmiths and carpenters; When Li Yongzhong arrived, he subdivided these craftsmen one by one according to the level of craftsmanship, and imitated the rules and regulations of the factory in later generations.
At this time, Li Yongzhong took He Tai to inspect the craftsman's camp, and after seeing the carpentry, he walked to the blacksmith's place. The leader of the craftsmen who is responsible for managing the blacksmith is called Zhu Laoqi on weekdays, and he is honest and quiet, but the work in his hands is first-class and good, except for being able to talk endlessly for three days and three nights on what he will do, he can hardly hear his voice on weekdays.
But at this moment, I couldn't see that Zhu Laoqi was silent at all, I only heard him point to a strange-looking water mill and say proudly to Li Yongzhong: "Uncle Guan'er talked to us last time about the stamping method, and the trial was unsuccessful several times, until a few days ago, Lao Ding," he didn't look at this side, just buried his head in the mouth of the craftsman Nunu, who couldn't stop knocking on the workpiece, "suddenly told me that he looked at the water mill of the rice, which had a bit of the meaning of so-called stamping, and looked for some old craftsmen to refer to it together, and after a few days of hard work, he finally succeeded." β
I only heard him say: "Lao Ding asked people to dig a dam on the mountain, got a large torrent, and made the water wheel bigger and thicker, and replaced the stone head with steel, after some experiments, now the three heads are operating at the same time, and dozens of breastplates can be obtained a day, if the iron supply is timely, it must not be a problem to double the output." β
Li Yongzhong bowed his head slightly and said, "Very good!" That's what I used to tell you, if you have an idea, let's try it! Don't be afraid to spend money and food, no matter how much you spend here, make something, and you will earn it back exponentially! β
Zhu Laoqi nodded again and again: "Zhong Guan'er said very much! That's what craftsmen mean today! In the past, the villain thought left, lest he spend money and food in vain but he couldn't do it, but now he won't! Saying that, his face moved with joy, and his eyebrows fluttered: "What I showed Zhong Guan'er just now was still a small section." What Zhong Guan'er said before, the villain and others spent half a year, although they dare not say that it is perfect, but it is indeed sufficient! β
He took Li Yongzhong and He Tai to a strange-looking machine, and his black and red face was excited and proud: "This thing is called a drilling machine!" Specially designed for the use of gun pipe drilling, better than countless manpower! He glanced at Zhong Guan'er and sighed: "If Zhong Guan'er hadn't mentioned it, the villain would have really wanted to break his brain!" β
In Li Yongzhong's eyes, this is now called a drilling machine, and in fact the hydraulic boring machine is quite primitive. Obviously, Zhu Laoqi and others got a lot of inspiration from the grinding machine for pondering jade, and in fact, the power was changed from manual trampling to more powerful and stable water power - Sichuan is located in the southwest, the water flow is abundant, and there is no freezing all year round, and the use of water power is quite common.
"Originally, it was extremely difficult to make a pipe, and an old craftsman could only get one at most a day, but now there are drilling machines available, and a craftsman can make five pipes a day!" Zhu Laoqi opened his slap excitedly, only then calmed down a little, and said regretfully: "It's just that the knife head is wasted too quickly!" How many knives and guns can be shot out of the best 100 steel, and now it's all on this! β
"Not bad." Li Yongzhong weighed the gun tube in his hand a few times, and then raised it in front of his eyes to carefully check the inside, then bowed his head slightly, dropped it casually, and fell into the workpiece basket from the gun tube, and collided with other grinding guns with a crisp metal "ding" sound. He said carefully to Zhu Laoqi: "Don't be afraid of spending that, you have also seen the power of firearms, with it, what if you have fewer knives and guns?" It is better to be slow than to deal with errands for the sake of speed. β
Zhu Lao Qi nodded like pounding garlic, and responded in a loud voice: "It should be like this!" β
He Tai followed Li Yongzhong silently, and when he left the craftsman camp, he smiled with emotion: "How much has been wasted in front of me, so I have gained such a little." In the past two years, all the salt profits have been spent on it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a pile of gold and silver. Speaking of this, he looked at the seemingly black and inconspicuous pipe in the workpiece basket, and sighed with a complicated face: "With this thing, how can there be a future for soldiers in the future?" β
"How not?" Li Yongzhong asked rhetorically, "Training soldiers is expensive in training courage, and if you dare not see blood, how can you be considered a good soldier?" There were only two of them here, and even the guards were far away, so he spoke very unscrupulously, "What's the use of a sharp weapon in the hands of a group of cowardly people?" On the contrary, the tiger and wolf are bare-handed, wooden guns and tree knives, and they can also split stones and shake mountains! β
"Atai, you are my brother, and you are the same as your brother in my place." Li Yongzhong patted He Tai on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "I'm not afraid to tell you, the current stability is nothing more than the flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, in this world, troubled times are coming!" The strength we have saved now will be enough to give back 10% in the future. Now I am recruiting simple and sturdy laborers in the name of guards among the water porters, because they are accustomed to being with them in the well yard, and they are also accustomed to behaving in a proper manner. I will hand over these jades to you, and you must train me to be brave and brave soldiers who dare to fight and win! β
After saying this, He Tai's blood boiled, and it was like a fire lit in the dantian, and it rushed straight to the limbs and hundreds of bones along the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and the corners of his eyes were red! A pair of eyes were firmly fixed on Li Yongbo, and he did not hesitate to nod to the ground on one knee and hissed: "Zhongguan'er believes in me and uses me!" I, He Tai, have nothing to repay, from now on, the place that Zhong Guan'er refers to is the place where He Tai died! β
"Good!" Li Yongzhong pulled him up, punched him in the chest, and said, "I don't say that I am rich and noble!" Just for the sake of people who are rich and noble, they often can't live and die together! Only in the future, if I ask Atai to die, I will never steal my life alone! β
Since he started working salt five or six years ago, Li Yongzhong has tried to form an armed force that belongs to himself, not the Li family. However, even after 400 years, he has nothing to do with the military, and the only thing he knows is the one and a half moves taught by the instructor during military training. At the beginning of the guard training, he was also very naΓ―ve to think that with this fur of the later generations, he would be able to train a strong army, not to mention fighting all over the world, at least he could dominate eastern Sichuan, but soon reality gave Li Yongzhong a slap in the face.
The martial artists who were recruited by the high amount of money were Yang Fengyin and disobeyed, and the laborers who were pulled out by Jian Jian from the water picker were dull, and they couldn't read a big word in nine out of ten stops, and they couldn't distinguish between the left and right, and they couldn't distinguish between the north and the south. A certain recruited warrior who claimed to have learned the Qi family's saber made Li Yongzhong dumbfounded by only showing his hand: in the hour of a stick of incense, this young man who concealed his origin and had an ordinary face used a wooden knife to put down seven or eight laborers who rushed up, but it was Li Yongzhong and He Tai who made two spears, relying on the tacit understanding accumulated by growing up together, which caused him a lot of trouble.
"Zhong Guan'er, your method is a bit ingenious," after stopping, the young man said to Li Yongzhong with a serious face: "But now you are really not the person in your hands!" If it goes on like this, no matter how delicious it is, it will never be able to raise good soldiers! β
"Then you come!" Li Yongzhong looked at him, and Lili Suosuo said to the young man simply: "You say I can't do it, then you come!" Train a good soldier, I'll toast you! β
Later, Li Yongzhong learned that he had hit a lot of luck! This young man with a vague origin has grown up with "Sun Wuzi Law", "Wu Zi", "Liutao" and "Ji Xiao Xinshu" since he was a child, and he just knew how to walk, he was kicked into the school by his elders. Who would want to be born on a thief ship because he couldn't see Li Yongzhong's nonsense and nonsense!
Cao Jinliang, the team leader, was drinking happily, and suddenly there was a big sneeze, and he shivered, he looked around suspiciously, and said secretly: "Isn't it Li Yongzhong's kid who is orchestrating me behind my back?!" β
When Li Yongzhong was in a good mood inspecting the Zhuangzi on the bright side and the actual military camp, Li Yongbo and Liu Gui were struggling in the mountains and mountains south of Luzhou. Deng Xiaobao seemed to be gone, the two of them waited for a long time, and their bodies were blown cold by the cold wind, Liu Gui persuaded Li Yongbo again and again, and finally let him press his temper and not have a seizure.
"I heard Deng Xiaobao talk about what a master before, and I heard you say that you have no mother," after waiting for a long time, Li Yongbo simply asked Liu Gui the question in his heart, "Could it be that there is still a monk temple hidden in this village?" I just don't know which way of the gods and bodhisattvas are offered? β
As soon as Liu Gui's complexion changed, he covered Li Yongbo's mouth! If he was polite to Li Yongbo before, now he really used his strength to cover Li Yongbo's mouth and nose, which almost made him breathless! Finally earned it, Li Yongbo was annoyed and angry, and he was about to open his mouth to scold, so he heard Liu Gui's face and said coldly: "Young Master! The lord entrusted you to me, not for you to take us to find a way to die! If you can't think about it, don't take me with you! β
"What kind of master does Boguan'er think is that? No biological mother, vacuum hometown! That's a disciple under the seat, with first-class mana in his body! If you haven't even heard of this, then the three words of the White Lotus Sect should always know! β
