"Fengxian, don't call me my lord, don't you think my lord or something sounds too old? Or do you call me young master, how pleasant does that sound? After receiving the allegiance of Lu Fengxian and his workers, Buchen said with a smile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Workers don't care if they sell their deeds or not, in the Cyris Empire, the workers are third-class pariahs, which can be described as a bad life, as long as you pay the starting price, they don't say that they sell themselves to you, even if your ancestors have been your slaves for generations!

But he doesn't like such a thing as a slave, if he is still a barbarian living in the era of slavery, it can be said that it is excusable to accept a few slaves or something, and as a modern person with a sound mind, it would be madness to let others be slaves or something for himself! It's atavism and regression!

Therefore, Buchen just made a lifelong employment contract with the workers, and it was clearly written in black and white that they were workers with basic human rights, not slaves who were not subordinate to him!

The workers didn't like the big man who suddenly burst into the factory, but after he accepted the boss and gave them a lifetime contract that was twice as high as the original salary, they also changed their minds about him and began to affectionately call him "the owner".

"Well, okay, young master!" Lu Fengxian naturally won't disobey the will of the disobedient, anyway, he has already sold himself to take refuge, and if the disobedient wants him to call himself whatever he wants, he will call him whatever he wants, in fact, even if the disobedient asks him to call him the emperor, Your Majesty or something, he has nothing to say, Lu Fengxian is very clear, since he is on the thief ship, he must have the consciousness of getting on the thief ship!

"Brother Xian, you see, this is our current steelmaking furnace." Blacksmith Li pointed to the steel-making furnace in the middle of the courtyard that looked very large in this era.

Buchen pretended to look at it, nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad!" ”

In fact, he won't tell Blacksmith Li, he didn't understand it at all! At the beginning, he stuffed all those black materials to Blacksmith Li, and he didn't even read them!

Fortunately, Blacksmith Li was very excited at this time, and the introduction was endless......

"Brother Xian, let me tell you, our furnace is different from ordinary furnaces, the furnace is a molten pool, and there is also a regenerative chamber for heating air and gas. The whole furnace body is composed of a large number of supporting facilities such as smelting room, furnace head, ascending channel, sediment room, regenerator, reversing valve, flue, chimney, etc., because of the use of coke, as well as the regenerative chamber, the temperature can be increased extremely high, and the steel can be directly melted into molten steel for smelting, and because of the slag making facilities, the impurities in the steel can be well removed. ”

"Good!" Buchen nodded, "If the furnace temperature is too high, the furnace wall can't hold it, right?" How did you solve it? ”

Lu Fengxian, who was on the side, hurriedly licked his face, and said with his eyebrows: "Back to the young master, in order to make refractory bricks that can withstand high temperatures, Brother Li specially divided the craftsmen in the factory into seven or eight teams, and asked them to experiment with part ratios, and it only took half a month to make refractory bricks that can withstand high temperatures, this method is really amazing!" Xiao Ke is really admirable five-body throwing! As he spoke, he couldn't help but give Blacksmith Li a thumbs up!

Hearing this, Buchen smiled approvingly at Blacksmith Li: "Brother Li is really talented!" ”

What is the scientific method? It's called the scientific method! Blacksmith Li's talent as a scientist is really not covered!

As for the specific formula of refractory bricks, Buchen roughly knows that it is nothing more than graphite, porcelain clay, and clay.

"Brother Li, I heard that blast furnace ironmaking, open-hearth steelmaking, this is an open-hearth, right? So where do you make iron? Buchen asked.

"In the original factory of Xiaoke, there are also some workers there, who are responsible for smelting pig iron." Lu Fengxian hurriedly replied.

"Oh?" Buchen frowned, "Aren't you afraid of leaks?" ”

Blacksmith Li smiled disappreciatively, and said with relief: "Brother Xian, the innovation in that factory is very limited, and the workers there are paid the same wages as here, we will not take out the steel smelted to make a profit now, those workers are unprofitable, and they have no knowledge, so naturally they will not run out to leak secrets!" ”

"I see." However, Buchen was still a little uneasy, "Brother Li, you recently went to the factory and asked those workers to dismantle the iron-making furnace, and then all moved back to Zhuangzi." ”

Lu Fengxian heard that the minister was going to dismantle the furnace, his flesh hurt a little, and he wanted to say something, but he was stopped by the blacksmith Li on the side: "Brother Xian, don't worry, I will go to that factory in a while, dismantle the furnace, and bring all the workers back!" ”

Buchen nodded, and Blacksmith Li was relieved when he said so.

"Ah, yes! Brother Li, how much steel can this furnace produce at one time now? Buchen asked curiously, if there is more steel, he will have to consider making a profit with this thing, after all, the steel of this world, especially the output of high-quality steel, is really not too pitiful!

Blacksmith Li didn't speak, just made a four-four gesture.

"How much is that? Forty pounds or four hundred pounds? ”

Blacksmith Li shook his head with a smile, didn't sell Guan Zi anymore, and said directly: "Four thousand catties!" ”

"I'll go, it's okay!" Buchen exclaimed, the measurement standard of this world is similar to his previous life, two catties are equal to one kilogram, one thousand kilograms are equal to one ton, and four thousand catties are two tons! It's not iron, it's steel! And I don't know that the vast majority of iron-making furnaces in this world have less than half of the iron smelted at one time!

Blacksmith Li smiled modestly and said, "It's still thanks to the information of the virtuous brother!" Otherwise, how could we have built such a powerful steelmaking furnace? In fact, I thought it was very exaggerated when I used crucibles to make steel, but I didn't expect to be able to create such a scary thing by continuing to follow your information! ”

It's just that Buchen sighed in his heart, in Blacksmith Li's opinion, a steelmaking furnace that produces two tons of steel at a time is already powerful enough, but he doesn't know that this output is actually nothing in his previous life, and even some small private factories are far inferior, but this is already epoch-making progress in this world!

"It's a pity that we're about to leave for the hinterland of the Eastern Kingdom, and there is no way to leave this furnace." Buchen said with some regret.

As soon as Lu Fengxian heard that Buchen was going to dismantle this stove, he was anxious at the moment: "Young master, don't!" ”

Blacksmith Li also frowned and said, "Brother Xian, we don't have to dismantle it!" ”

"Then as soon as we leave, what should we do if the technology leaks?" Buchen asked, this is a very real question.

Blacksmith Li gritted his teeth: "Leave the calf to watch the factory!" ”

"Mavericks? Brother Li, that's your apprentice! I don't know when I'll see you again. Buchen said.

"It doesn't matter!" Blacksmith Li said categorically, "He has already fulfilled my true inheritance." ”

The corners of Buchen's mouth twitched, it seems that Blacksmith Li has made up his mind, but it is not impossible to leave this furnace behind, he has a lifelong friendship with Qu Shouyi, the general of Weiyuan Wangfu, tell him to take care of this factory, there should be no one who dares to come to find fault with him, unless it is Weiyuan Wang himself......

However, this is not unsolvable, as long as this factory is hung in the name of Qu Shouyi, and all the production is also given priority to Weiyuan Wangfu, which should be able to dispel the covetousness of Qu Yongchen.

However, Buchen was still not at ease, he shook his head after thinking about it again, "Brother Li, I can't promise you about this, we can choose a new place to build a factory after we go to the hinterland of the empire, but this factory must not be left, and I will take all the people away!" ”

Blacksmith Li and Lu Fengxian's faces immediately became bitter.

Buchen smiled and comforted them: "You don't have to be too sad, I promise you that after you arrive in the hinterland of the empire, I will definitely give you a factory that is a hundred times larger than this, and this steel-making furnace and iron-making furnace will be ten times larger!" ”

"Is that true?" Hope ignited again in Blacksmith Li's eyes.

"Brother Li, when did I lie to you?" Don't be angry.

"Then let's do it!" Blacksmith Li nodded, "When are we leaving?" ”

Buchen thought for a while and said, "After the Weiyuan Palace's income from this inverted bucket is settled for me." ”

"The young master actually has something to do with the Weiyuan Palace?!" Lu Fengxian's shocked mouth couldn't close, and at the same time, he was secretly afraid in his heart, fortunately, he saw the opportunity quickly and expressed his allegiance to Buchen, otherwise if he went to Weiyuan Palace, Bacheng would have no life!

Buchen smiled and briefly explained his relationship with Qu Shouyi.

Lu Fengxian's expression suddenly became more respectful.

The disobedient nodded with satisfaction, and encouraged him a few more words, saying that in the future, he would have to rely on him more to open a steel mill in the hinterland of the empire.

Lu Fengxian immediately made a very well-behaved look of gratitude.

At this time, Buchen's inspection of the "iron and steel industry" came to an end, and the friends who had wandered around the steel mill were summoned again, and announced on the spot that everyone would be equipped with stainless steel equipment and a steel pistol.

The friends cheered as soon as they landed!
