The words of the blacksmith were heard by many.

True, or false.

No one is qualified to judge a blacksmith, everyone has their own way of survival.

Kunlun Nu Lao Hei said at this time: "The blacksmith is the richest, and he has a piece of gold, which weighs five taels. It was rewarded by Emperor Bixia of the Tang Dynasty, and this piece of gold is enough. ”

"I want a civilian membership, maybe I can be a big official in Datang!" The slave who used to be an official also expressed an attitude.

Lao Hei and the official are gone, they have already made up their minds, the official came late, and the money in his hand is not enough to redeem himself, but he believes that after three months at most, he can save enough money for redemption.

The female medical officer was still eating, she was eating slowly.

When he saw the two of them walking out, he said again: "I still know one thing, I can redeem myself first." The poor money is a profit a month, and it is deducted from the salary. "One percent profit a month, in terms of officials, he is eight yuan short, plus interest, calculated as four months, then he needs to pay three more two hundred yuan. This is acceptable.

You can redeem yourself, and you can borrow money to redeem yourself first, and the news that shocked the slaves spread quickly.

It should be about two to three times the value of the purchase. How it is calculated, no one knows. But the slaves had their way, and all of them were working on a three-fold basis, and if they thought that they were only trying to triple the amount of money they had saved, they would be able to redeem themselves......

For example, a fifth-class foreman worked hard for a year and three months, and the money he saved was enough to redeem himself.

Sixth-class plumber, it takes one year and eight months. If a seventh-class foreman wants to redeem himself, the first consideration should not be to save money, but to get promoted.

The fourth-class skilled worker is equivalent to the sixth-class plumber, and the strong labor of the mine is about the same as that of the eighth-class plumber.

According to this algorithm, everyone has the opportunity to redeem themselves, and the salary after becoming a commoner is calculated differently from that of a slave, which is about 50% higher.

But there are several kinds of people, but there is no possibility of redemption at all.

The first category is the lowest level of coolie labor, and it is non-mining. It's more of a low-level job in chores.

The second category is beauty. Especially the beauties who have no skills, the price is high when they buy them, and they are just beautiful and have no jishu, and they can't earn money to redeem themselves here in Yaozhou.

The zuihou category is a prisoner slave. Unless there is an amnesty. Otherwise they could not have been ransomed. Because Datang has not yet had policies such as commutation of sentences.

It was neatly organized by Li Yuanxing's small pebble. The second workshop area of Yaozhou suddenly appeared in full swing.

Everybody is working hard. The better the work, the higher the income.

Wu Cao, who was sipping tea in the room, naturally knew what was happening in Yaozhou, and now it was only spreading in this workshop area. I can't imagine that in less than three or five days, the entire Yaozhou will be in such a hot state.

Stretched out his hand and beckoned a scribe: "Are you ready for the thing that this palace said last time?" ”

"Everything is ready."

"Go ahead and do it!" Wu Cao waved his hand.

Wang Yuyan and the other women were very curious, but Wang Yuyan asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, what are you ready for?" ”

"It is to educate them, the King of Qin is so benevolent and naturally loyal to His Royal Highness, the palace has specially selected some civil officials, and they will naturally arrange it, so that everyone in Yaozhou will remember, loyal to the Tang Dynasty, loyal to the Holy Lord, loyal to the King of Qin!" Wu Cao replied unhurriedly.

This kind of ideological education, Wu Cao likes it very much.

Li Changying snapped his fingers: "What Her Royal Highness the princess said is not wrong, Her Royal Highness is benevolent, and he should let them know." ”

After lunch, Li Yuanxing's second pebble began to exert its great power, which was no less powerful than dropping an atomic bomb directly in a certain lake.

"After eating, I saw interesting little things!"

Wu Cao took out a box of slides, this box of slides was truly beyond the times in Tang's point of view. But in modern times, it is not.

This slide shows the history of the development of modern steam engines in Europe.

But what Wu Cao chose was not the official history, but an incredible design and theory, in which the failed and the successful. Wu Cao didn't go into a detailed division.

This thing, to put it bluntly, is for the craftsmen to see.

"Gearbox!" The blacksmith suddenly jumped up with a wild scream: "That's the thing, that's the artifact!" ”

"No, it's supposed to be a detachable linkage device!" The other retorted loudly.

Instead, Ma Yuan gave a salute to Wu Cao: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the Ma family must serve His Royal Highness King Qin, but Ma Yuan mentioned a sentence that does not belong to a certain duty, and some people are not reliable!" ”

"You can study the steam engine with peace of mind, some things are the responsibility of the safety department!"

"Yes!" Ma Yuan answered, and when he was about to retreat, Wu Cao said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin said that all machines should benefit the people, how to use the steam engine for agricultural work, give you ten days to come up with a plan." Within half a month, improve the lathe and improve the accuracy. ”

Ma Yuan nodded heavily.

Then he handed a piece of paper to the hand of the guard beside Wu Cao.

Half an hour later, the piece of paper was placed on Lu Chengqing's table, and Lu Chengqing slapped the table heavily after reading it: "Arrest people, all the people in that workshop are arrested!" ”

"Slow!" Liu Erxiao, who was sent to Yaozhou, stopped a lieutenant general who was about to rush out.

"One, he can't escape. Second, what was his real purpose in writing this? Three, there are no accomplices. Fourth, what's the point of killing a few people, we Qin Wangfu will maximize the benefits of everything. Could it be that this guy has no use value? ”

Hearing Liu Erxiao's words, Lu Chengqing looked at the piece of paper again.

The characters on the scraps of paper are extremely small, written with sharpened charcoal, and are written in Goguryeo script.

"This is written about the steam engine, which can be regarded as the principle of the steam engine, but he doesn't seem to understand the structure, and it is different from what he knows, according to Ma Yuan's report, this person has not been in contact with the core part, but he has participated in several test machines, in terms of his talent, Ma Yuan's original idea is to arrange him to be a fourth-class plumber responsible for the processing of transmission shafts."

Lu Chengqing analyzed, according to his ideas, arresting people and using torture, how could he not ask his accomplices.

"Wait, at least ask Your Highness!"

Lu Chengqing reacted, it is very likely that His Royal Highness the King of Qin has something aimed at Goguryeo.

At nightfall, the slaves gathered again.

This time, it was not a gathering of a few slave chiefs, but a gathering of slaves of different trades.

"You can't figure out how much you can carry on the backrest, whether it's a cart or a cart." The blacksmith was talking, and the person listening to him was a fourth-class plumber, but the fourth-class foreman in the mine was in charge of the second-class plumber in the blacksmith's workshop.

The foreman in this mining area used to be a school captain, a man under Dou Jiande.

He was unlucky, because he killed Li Yuanji's horse with an arrow, so he didn't even have a chance to surrender, so he became a slave.

"I heard that that thing can pull up tens of thousands of catties!"

"Wrong, I know that the locomotive in Chang'an has to be replaced, because the locomotive is not good, wasting coal and water. And the coal ash is too big, so our Lu Guan'er plans to change it, the new one has been made, and it will be transported to Chang'an in five days at most, and after it is assembled in the Zhuangzi of His Royal Highness King Qin, there will be ten days for the old one to be dismantled. ”

"How many pounds can you pull?" The foreman at the mine asked.

"The strength of five hundred horses."

After hearing this, the foreman in the mining area stood up suddenly: "I went to find Shangguan, but I really can't find Lu Guan'er!" ”

The Lu Guan'er in the mouths of the slaves is Lu Chengqing. Lu Chengqing is a good official, he patrols the territory of Yaozhou all day long, and he doesn't dare to say that everyone in Yaozhou knows him, but some plumbers have more or less spoken to him.

The slaves have already begun to think about how to improve their work efficiency.

It's just that they don't know the existence of the word work efficiency, and the idea of the slaves is very simple, take the mining as an example, a mining area digs more than 100,000 catties a day, that is, the reward of ten yuan, a month, up and down, more or less can get a few hundred dollars.

The idea of the steam engine is not only in the mining area.

When the foreman in the mining area ran to Lu Chengqing, there were already seven or eight foremen here, but he and Lao Hei were the only slaves.

"Old Black, what are you doing here?"

"I thought about making a moving slope out of planks, so that I could carry ten times as many stones a day. It can also save most of the labor, so come and ask for a machine. Listening to the blacksmith, if there are four made by a one-person-tall machine, let's see if we can ask for one for the cement mill, and the Shangguan in our workshop is already inside! ”

The slave foreman in the mine thought about it and immediately turned around and left.

Lao Hei's identity is higher than him, Lao Hei didn't go in, he went to count the green onion, so to solve the problem, he still has to ask the chief officer of the coal mine to come over, he is not afraid that the chief official will not come, there are no lazy officials in Yaozhou, there are no corrupt officials. If you have, you would have been killed a long time ago, the original town guard general here, but General Cheng, who is known as the demon king of the mixed world.

There is no curfew at night in Yaozhou, as many workshops require night shifts.

It was already past nine o'clock in the night, Lu Chengqing was sitting at the top, there were at least thirty people below, and there were one hundred and ten people standing outside the house, these people had only one purpose, that is, to ask for a steam engine, because this thing can top hundreds of people at worst.

Especially in places where people can't use it, this thing is really good.

There was also the original water wheel power, because the water wheel was limited by the weather, water flow, and water level, and was far less reliable than this steam engine. Even Chengyi Medical Workshop sent someone over, and they also wanted one, even if they hadn't figured out how to use it yet.

Originally, Shui Siyuan, the personal guard next to Wu Cao, gave Lu Chengqing a small box.

"This year's new tobacco! The Holy Lord and His Royal Highness the King of Qin, when they are tired, they all take a sip. (To be continued......)

PS: I wanted to ask for a monthly pass, and I mixed it into the top 10 in the classification.

But when I think about it, it seems that my skin is too thick.

Tomorrow will be added, first to repay the support of everyone at the end of last month, at the end of last month, the classification is eighth, because the two gods are on the big list, we have postponed to the top six, and get a bonus of 1,000 yuan, we should thank everyone.
