"Listen, listen, this time you are going to have a very difficult task. But if it's done, then I can guarantee that you'll all get a great reward. Even, if the credit is enough, I even have enough courage to ask the emperor for a low-level title from you, so it's all up to you. Chen Fei said to the craftsman.

And when those craftsmen heard Chen Fei say this, their hearts immediately became very hot, because this attraction was too great. Chen Fei actually said that if the credit was enough, Chen Fei would be able to hold a knighthood for them, which was simply unimaginable. This is a knighthood, how many people hope to have a knighthood in their lifetime! Countless officials have lost their official positions, and that is not a fart. But with a knighthood, it means that you can recommend your descendants to enter the official career from generation to generation, and you don't have to do anything to take the imperial examination, and you are not afraid of falling because you don't have an official position. This is also the importance of the title, so when everyone heard that Chen Fei was so "generous", their hearts were also hot. As long as you can get the knighthood, what if you fight for this old life?

Chen Fei saw that everyone was moved, and they all began to feel a lot more relieved. This time, Chen Fei cast weapons, not only from the ordnance supervisor, but also from the Ministry of Household Mint Bureau to get some craftsmen who cast money, originally the Ministry of Household did not want to give, but Chen Fei took Li Shimin, the emperor's edict, to ask for people, they did not dare not give it. Li Shimin was very interested in Chen Fei's new heavy artillery, if a cannon could make the enemy lose 200 men before the battle, the power would be huge. If it can reach half of the theoretical value, then Datang will be able to sweep the world. Attracted by this artifact, Li Shimin granted Chen Fei full authority to let all departments cooperate as much as possible and not interfere casually.

"Everyone, I have to use very fine clay to make a model of this cannon, that is, a cannon model. And this task. That is, it will be handed over to you Feng Laohan, you are a very good mason, and it is very laborious to make this model this time, and it is easy not to go wrong. If something goes wrong here, I'm afraid we're going to have a lot of artillery going to go wrong. That is related to the life safety of countless soldiers of our Datang, you must remember it! Chen Fei said.

Feng Laohan immediately said: "Okay, I will definitely not go wrong!" If something goes wrong, then ask Chen Langzhong to punish the crime, and I also smashed my ancestor's signboard, and I will no longer do this business again. ”

Chen Fei knew how to cast ancient artillery. The most important thing is not the craftsman, but the cannon model. Ancient artillery was actually made of molds, first of all, it was necessary to make a mold, and then it could be burned until the molten copper water was poured into the mold, so that after cooling, it was a cannon. Of course, there is still a lot of work to be done in the future, such as polishing the inside of the gun chamber, which must be smooth enough. However, these are relatively secondary, and the important thing is the gun model. After all, if there is a problem with the cannon mold, then countless cannons will have problems in the future.

This is also the reason why Chen Fei had to find a mason with the best skills to make this cannon model, first carving a model of a cannon out of clay, and then putting this model into a container. Finally, after pouring molten iron into it, it is a gun mold after cooling. And this gun mold is processed again to be a qualified gun mold. Finally, a cannon was made from this iron cannon mold and sent to the battlefield.

"Chen Langzhong. This seems to be the way to make copper coins! One of the craftsmen asked.

"Oh? How do you make copper coins? Chen Fei asked.

The craftsman replied, "When we make copper coins, we first use copper, tin, or lead, which are soft metals. Then carved into the ancestral money one by one. And after this ancestral money was handed over to the head of the household and the emperor for personal review, he agreed to use this ancestral money to turn it over and make it into a mother money, and after that, the mother money could be distributed to various coins to be minted and minted into circulation one by one. And the most important thing to mint coins is the ancestral money, if there is a little problem with the ancestral money, then eventually all coins will have problems. ”

Although Chen Fei didn't understand what this craftsman was, Chen Fei also understood what he meant, that is, he first made a model through carving, and finally the emperor approved the model and made it into a mold. And this mold is used to make the second generation of models, this generation of models is distributed to local coinage agencies to make mold models, and finally local coins can be made into copper coins circulating in the market with molds. And once there is any problem with the "ancestral money" at the source of this method, there will be many problems with the countless copper coins in circulation in the end.

And Chen Fei's technology of casting artillery is actually similar to the technology of casting money, which is to use molds to continuously make a large number of finished products. The only difference is that one is a coin, which weighs only a few grams at most, and the other is a cannon, which weighs hundreds of pounds.

"That's a bit interesting!" Chen Fei also thought.

Chen Fei then said to him: "Since you have thought of this, then you will be responsible for the command and dispatch next." Then you are responsible for leading them to cast the mold, as long as the casting is not removed, then it is a great credit to you! ”

And that person immediately said: "Thank you Chen Langzhong for cultivating, I, Zhu Lindong, am grateful!" ”

This Zhu Lindong is really grateful, because he knows that he has become the person in charge of this production team, so if he can make this "artifact" in the future, then Chen Fei's credit is the first, and his credit is definitely not small, maybe it is possible to get a low-level title.

And the other craftsmen of the coinage bureau secretly regretted that why their brains were spinning so slowly, and they actually let people take the lead. In fact, isn't this casting artillery almost the same thing as casting money? It's just that the accuracy and standards required for casting artillery are stricter, and the difference is not big. If they, the craftsmen of the Minting Bureau, put forward it in time, then maybe they can also get the leadership, and they may be able to get the title themselves. But it's useless to regret it now, Chen Fei has already asked this Zhu Lindong to lead everyone to make cannon molds, so everyone can only accept it. (To be continued......)
