Zhao Lie, who had stunned several shipwrights, went to the next place non-stop.

There is Alexandra who is going to faint, as soon as we meet today, Zhao Qin's attitude is particularly kind, from last night's sleep, to this morning's breakfast, from the life of care, what meals can you get used to, and said that Alexandra came north alone, and the little girl was very brave. The words of praise not only made Alexandra blush, but also made her a little dizzy. As the head of the family, if Zhao Qin's family flatters people, he is also a good hand.

In the end, Zhao Qin seemed to inadvertently ask Alexandra's age, and when he learned that Alexandra was nineteen years old, his expression was gloomy, this one was two years older than Lie'er.

When Zhao Qin, Alexandra and the maid came to the refugee camp, there were not many people in the refugee camp, most of them had already gone to work, and I saw many children running around happily, breaking the silence in the refugee camp.

The refugee camp is not what it used to be, the roads are clean, the newly dug wells, the medical hall and the school have been built, but there is no way to live, it is still a nest, but the low wall is better to shade the effect, more warm, into the refugee camp, Alexandra believes that there are tens of thousands of refugees here, the refugee camp on the west side of the bay extends to the foot of the west mountain in the distance, you can't see the end at a glance, the scale makes Alexandra dazzled. Due to the arrival of the old lady, Wu Qun personally received and introduced him, and waited carefully all the way.

"About 10,000 people joined the army, more than 15,000 people in the kiln mouth and house building team, more than 600 people in the craftsman battalion, more than 1,000 people in the shipyard, more than 1,000 people in the garment factory, more than 1,000 people in the ploughing fields, and basically all of them have work in the camp, and even many women have gone to work in the garment factory. Wu Qun said in detail one by one.

"Mr. Wu, are you also a refugee from Liaodong?" Alexandra asked as she heard Wu Qun's accent, which was the same as in the camp.

"Yes," Wu Qun's eyes darkened when he talked about this, "My family was originally from Fuzhou, Liaodong, and my family originally had more than 10,000 acres of land. What a shame on my ancestors. ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wu." Alexandra saw Wu Qun's grief.

"It's over, besides, most of my family has gone to Shandong. It's already a blessing. More than half of those who fled Liaodong died on the way. Wu Qun rejoiced.

More than halfway through, Alexandra and Marta stiffened, what a huge number.

Everyone walked forward and saw a girl squatting and watching a group of children playing.

"Little girl, why don't you go playing." Alexandra stepped forward and asked.

The little girl turned her head and saw such a large group of people gathered around, her body trembled and retreated, and when she saw Wu Qun, she hurriedly ran behind Wu Qun.

"The child is from Haizhou, Liaodong, my mother let Master Jiannu die in front of the child, his father took her to escape, his father died of illness a few days ago, and cried and begged me to take care of her before he died, I agreed, after his father died, she stopped talking." Wu Qun replied while touching the little girl's head to comfort her.

The women present invariably left tears, so far began the journey of tears, each child has its own miserable, to leave the camp, the women's eyes are red and swollen, handkerchiefs are wet, the miserable situation of the people here has broken their previous perception of the world, both Chinese and foreign sages say that people are kind, but the ferocity of Jiannu frightened them.

Alexandra and Marta were the most stimulated, and others had heard some of the facts, and the bloody cruelty of the northern barbarians reminded them of the demons mentioned in the Bible.

For this day, two Portuguese women remember it for life.

"The adults have ordered that all orphans, both men and women, be gathered together, and raised by the adults at their expense, during which they will enter the school to read and write, and after the age of sixteen they will enter the army of the captives or enter the civil administration." Wu Qun said with emotion. He didn't expect Lord Xiao Zhao to be so generous, and he didn't hesitate to throw a lot of money for these hundreds of orphans. Lord Zhao and the Liaozhen generals who only know how to drink the blood of soldiers and scrape the people are really worlds apart. "Lord Zhao is really the Buddha of my Liaodong family."

Zhao Qin's family couldn't help but be proud when he heard Wu Qun's emotion.

And Alexandra couldn't help but admire Zhao Lie when she heard what Zhao Lie did, this Ming man did not deceive him, it was really to save the refugees from fire and water.

Zhao Lie didn't know that Alexandra visited the refugee camp, because of the matter of raising orphans and his good impression of him increased, if he knew, Zhao Lie could only sweat, in fact, he had another purpose, in his opinion, adopting these orphans since childhood, in order to cultivate these orphans' loyalty to him, and then teach them to learn martial arts and literacy, and grow up to be the talent in his hands in the future, and now the loyal people are the most scarce for him. Zhao Lie was in the artisan camp at this time, and Zhao Lie understood that all the sources of guns and cannons were steel, and the quality of steel must be improved. Therefore, he is most concerned about the artisan camp.

Yuan Yi, Guo Fu, Portuguese gunsmiths Tiago, Feigo, Oliveira, Ming gunsmiths Zheng Yue and Guo Huaien, Fujian blacksmith leaders Sun Sheng and Dong Kui, these people are the leaders of the artisan battalion.

First of all, Zhao Lie took out the flint short gun, the flint hair long gun,

"Yuan Tou, this is a flintlock gun, it can be launched without a fire rope, you can imitate it as soon as possible, if you succeed, you will be rewarded with five hundred silver." As soon as Zhao Lie came up, he was rewarded with this big killer.

Yuan Yi immediately replied excitedly, although he was a little drawn in his heart, he had never seen a fire gun that did not use an arquebus.

"Mr. Tiago, can the current cannon foundry produce twenty-four pound guns," Zhao Lie said.

"My lord, you can, but due to wrought iron, there is a lot of damage, and most of them have problems during the test of the gun." Tiago replied with a bow.

It's still a steel issue, steel smelting Zhao Lie won't, he doesn't know at all. However, in the era of the great diffusion of knowledge from the Internet in later generations, I know a little bit about it.

"What do you use to blow the wind?" Zhao Lie asked Sun Sheng, Dong Kui.

"We use hand-pulled bellows." Sun Sheng replied.

"Take a look at your refinery."

The group came to the refinery when Zhao Lie was away, and only three refineries were built in the refinery at this time, only to see three apprentices changing shifts to pull the square bellows, the upper cover of the refinery was completely open, and the blanking was from here, and the charcoal under it was burned, and the fire was constantly added. After waiting for a while, the discharge vent of the three refining furnaces flowed out bright liquid, but it was not as good as the fluidity of molten steel in later generations, but it flowed slowly, and the three iron streams converged into the groove in the middle, cooled down slightly, and then flowed into the large square pool that several craftsmen kept stirring with wooden sticks along the channel.

Zhao Lie just knew that steel smelting is a process of heat gathering, the bellows here are too small, the manpower is too weak, the air is not preheated, the smelting furnace is not closed, the heat accumulation effect is not good, the furnace temperature cannot be raised, and the impurities in the ore in the furnace are not clean, resulting in bad wrought iron.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I hereby issue a reward, a reward of 100 taels for water and animal power bellows, a reward of 200 taels for hot gas transportation, and a reward of 500 taels for the closure of the furnace. In addition, the cost of two thousand taels will be sent to Yuan Yi later. "Zhao Lie offered a reward as usual, a good prescription that future generations will never get tired of.

Guo Fu's eyes lit up, hydropower, animal power bellows, we have a foundation, just got the hammering machine, Tiago, Feigo, Oliveira, Sun Sheng, Dong Kui and others are excited, how much silver is this. Yuan Yi was secretly overjoyed, it seems that the adults are still nostalgic, I am in charge of the silver two, that is the meaning of letting me be in charge first.

"In addition, the clay mold casting cannon was changed to an iron mold casting cannon, and the reward was a thousand taels." Zhao Lie continued to throw silver bullets.

At this time, Tiago, Feigo, Oliveira, Zheng Yue, and Guo Huaien were excited, but as an old person, Zheng Yue still asked.

"My lord, how do you know that iron molded cannons are feasible?"

"The English have already begun to cast iron mold guns, they first use mud film to cast iron molds, and then use iron molds to cast cannons, iron molds do not have as many trachoma as mud film, less damage, and the barrel is uniform. Of course, this is only a rough sketch from an English captain, but it is true, I have seen with my own eyes the cannons on his ship, which are very different from those of us, in short, please. "Zhao Lie is a fool, using the English as a guise to increase credibility.

A few people have already believed it, because mud trachoma is indeed a big problem, and adults do know what is important, and they don't deal with it randomly.

Zhao Lie stayed in the artisan camp until the end of the Youshi period before returning to the mansion. It's really a starry moon.

PS recommends a friend's book [The Struggle between Humans and Animals] is witty and humorous, and I have a lot of aftertaste after reading it, and I have a deep understanding.
