The reason why these craftsmen are hesitant is because their own methods are ancestral skills, how can they easily pass them on to others?

Zhao Xun continued: "I know what you are worried about? However, don't you want your skills to be passed on, like scholars and literati, peach and plum all over the world, and your name will be left in the history books? Of course, maybe I'm not qualified to say that now, but my Huolin military craftsman is a six-star and seven-star craftsman, which is equivalent to the lower nine grades all the way to the seventh-rank civil officials, in other words, almost compared with the master craftsmen of my Dayan National Ministry of Industry, think about it yourself. ”

Zhao Xun said, which suddenly made the hearts of all craftsmen jump, being able to become an official is naturally something they dream of, that is a matter of glory to the ancestors, how can you miss it.

Zhao Xun knew that being an official was a killer feature, and it would definitely play a role for them. Just look at the expressions of these people and know that they are tempted. In this regard, Zhao Xun's purpose has been achieved.

Old Blacksmith Li took the lead and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely cultivate an apprentice who will satisfy my lord, and my son will do the same." ”

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Okay, Old Blacksmith Li will be added as the supervisor of the crossbow machine battalion and be responsible for the affairs of the crossbow machine battalion, Old Li, don't let me down?" ”

Old Blacksmith Li was immediately overjoyed, although the supervisor was inconspicuous, but he was also an official, although he was from the ninth grade, he was also a member of the official. At that moment, he said excitedly: "Don't worry, my lord, I just fought this old bone, and I will complete the adult's task on time." ”

Several other masters all looked at Old Man Li with envy, but who let them not speak first like Old Man Li.

"Secondly, each craftsman has his own number, and the weapons used to make the zuò must be printed with his own number, including the personnel who inspect the quality. The last time you attacked Baixian, there were many weapons and armor that were unqualified, you know, one mistake of yours will make a soldier lose his life on the battlefield, so you must be held accountable. If there is a mistake in the quality inspection, the quality inspection bears eight points of responsibility, and the person who makes the system bears two points. If there is a problem that the quality inspector cannot see from the surface and there are other problems, the maker is fully responsible. ”

As soon as Zhao Xun's words came out, the faces of these old craftsmen changed. Don't talk about others, even these old craftsmen don't dare to say that they will not make mistakes, in case ......

Zhao Xun continued: "You don't need to worry, I will add one or more quality inspectors to each group to check the quality of the objects. Of course, there are punishments and rewards. If you don't have a good finished product, you will all get a certain amount of money from it, depending on the size of the object. Maybe one or two pieces are nothing, but what about hundreds, thousands? That's a lot of money, and it also allows you to get some extra money. ”

After listening to what Zhao Xun said, several people nodded secretly, so that everyone would have an extra income. Who doesn't love money?

Zhao Xun stared at everyone and said in a cold voice: "All the craftsmen who join the craftsman camp, your family members will be placed together and alone in one place, and the Huolin Army will ensure their safety." You must know that there are some things in the artisan camp that are confidential and cannot be obtained by outsiders, especially the Warriors, and they must not be allowed to obtain our weapons. Our crossbows and crossbows are not available to the Warriors, and they are also what they peep at. In this month and a half, we have captured dozens of people who want to tempt and buy craftsmen to be craftsmen, so you don't need to be nervous, just serve me. ”

"The Huolin Army is the foundation of Yanzhou Mansion, and the craftsman camp is the foundation of the Huolin Army." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice. Of course, the craftsman camp is only one of the foundations of the Huolin Army, not all, but the Huolin Army is definitely the foundation of Yanzhou Mansion, and there is no one.

In the past half a month, seven or eight craftsmen have disappeared, and as for where they went, they knew in their hearts...... The Fire Lin Army is ruthless in dealing with those who disobey orders.

"Okay, I won't say much about the rest, I just took a look at the armor. That chain mail is too troublesome. ”

A craftsman also said: "Yes, if there are five skilled craftsmen to make zuò, seven days is enough, but in addition, it is necessary to cast iron wire and make it into an iron ring, and it takes another three days, and it takes ten days for a piece of chain mail to be completed." It is extremely slow to make zuò. And a piece of chain mail costs about two thousand dollars. ”

Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "No, it can't go on like this, the armor is related to the life of the soldiers, and it can't be slowed down like this." There are still many soldiers who are still unarmoured, and it is extremely disadvantageous to go to the battlefield in this way. Not to mention that such a large cost is needed, this kind of armor cannot be made on a large scale, at least in the short term, it cannot be made in the short term, and if you want to make it, it can only wait until the war subsides and the government treasury has a surplus. ”

Lu Shijie smiled bitterly: "The rest of the leather armor will be simpler by then, but we are at war with the Yan Army, and the amount of fur obtained has been greatly reduced, and there is no raw material, and we have no way." Although the chain mail system is troublesome, it has excellent defense, especially against the arrows of the Evil Army, it has a good defensive effect. Especially the foot soldiers, we have nothing to do with the rushing of the Warrior army like the wind, without a strong armor, it will be ......"

For these, Zhao Xun was also very anxious, thinking about what he knew in his previous life, and finally thought of a middle armor, which is much faster than chain mail-plate armor.

Then Zhao Xun said again, of course, with the current level, it is impossible to make the ideal perfect plate armor, but Zhao Xun thought of another thing that is conducive to the plate armor system, that is, the hydraulic forging machine, which uses the waterwheel to drive the big hammer and beat the iron. In fact, this is not only beneficial to the production of plate armor, but also to the production of other weapons, which greatly saves manpower.

Immediately, Zhao Xun said the method of the hydraulic forging machine again, in fact, the reason is not complicated, the problem is that no one can think of it, as for the actual effect, it depends on the finished product. In fact, there are many devices that use hydraulic power now, such as the hydraulic mill now, which was used during the Han Dynasty. There is also the water drain, in 31 AD, the Eastern Han Dynasty official and inventor Du Shi invented the water drain, which is a complex mechanical device, the use of hydraulic transmission machinery, so that the leather blower bag continues to open and close, send air into the iron smelting furnace, casting agricultural tools, you can see the wisdom of the ancients.

Zhao Xun's inspiration made all the masters shocked, if it is really as Zhao Xun said, this is a big progress for blacksmiths. Suddenly, everyone looked at Zhao Xun as if they saw a peerless beauty, and they all hoped that Zhao Xun could give him another point.

Seeing a few old people who were over half a hundred years old looking at him with such eyes, Zhao Xun also felt numb, and hurriedly said: "This is just my idea, you go down to study it, and then I will move the craftsman battalion to Gushan Fort, where there is only a military camp, but there is a river around, which is conducive to hydraulic forging, you can give it a try, I hope you can come up with a finished product as soon as possible." You know, the sooner you make the finished product, the less casualties you will have on the battlefield. These soldiers may have your relatives and neighbors. ”

Old man Li, who had just been promoted to supervisor, said: "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely take out the sample as soon as possible." ”

"That's good! Lu Shijie, I will immediately ask the soldiers of the personal guard battalion to cooperate with you and move the craftsman battalion to Gushan Fort, and in the future, Gushan Fort will be the base camp of the craftsman battalion. There were soldiers from the heavy battalion stationed there, and it was very safe. ”

After the development of the current heavy armored battalion in two months, it was divided into two, 1,000 heavy armored infantry and 1,000 heavy armored cavalry, and in a certain sense, they were the strongest troops of the Huolin Army.

After the plate armor that Zhao Xun said is made, it may also allow the foot soldiers to reach the situation of semi-heavy infantry, as for the effect, it can only wait for the final result.

In fact, there is a hydraulic forging machine, Zhao Xun thinks a lot, but now is not the time to say it, only after seeing the results, can he make a decision.
