CHAPTER XXVI

readx;?? How much money can be made by selling furniture and what the overall profit is, Zhang Jiashi doesn't care too much about this. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info [Debut] He even temporarily confiscated the really lucrative salt industry, even if all these furniture are sold out, those benefits Zhang Jiashi will also use it to help make up for the expenses of his mansion.

Compared to this, there is good news.

And this news is the most important thing for Zhang Jiashi.

A team of knights, under the leadership of Zhang Jiashi, galloped from the south gate of Dingxiang City to the Anshan area, which has no name now.

In this place, for the sake of secrecy, Zhang Jiashi was equipped with a thousand knights and hundreds of Mo swordsmen to be responsible for the security of this area.

And because of some factors, Mo Shu, as the most senior person in charge of Liaodong military construction, also moved the core of Liaodong military construction from Dingxiang City to this Anshan area.

Before Zhang Jiashi left Dingxiang City and went to the Eastern Tour of the First Emperor Yingzheng, he had an in-depth exchange with Mo Shu. During this exchange, Mo Shu learned that Zhang Jiashi planned to build the Anshan area into a large weapons production base.

What is the production base, Mo Shu does not understand. However, according to Zhang Jiashi's description, the base area of Liaodong military construction will take the Anshan area as the core area for a period of time.

This, to be honest, makes no difference to Moshu. After all, in the northeast of Dingxiang City or in the Anshan area, the official organization of Liaodong Military Construction is not to provide weapons for the army under Zhang Jiashi?

Although he is not a pedantic person, in the face of such a situation, Mo Shu, as the elder of the Mo family, has always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. There is no way to do this, after all, the purpose of the Mo family is to love and not attack.

Even so, since the Mo family has now been under Zhang Jiashi's command, Mo Shu will not do anything bad to Zhang Jiashi because of this. First, this will not benefit the entire Mo family, and will make the Mo family truly ruined; second, isn't the work arranged for him by Zhang Jiashi not what Mo Shu, an inventor, likes?

......

After Zhang Jiashi asked him to be mainly responsible for the design of the blast furnace in the Anshan area, Mo Shu and others gathered a lot of manpower and material resources, first built several sets of models, and tested whether some of the theoretical data given to them by Zhang Jiashi was feasible.

Subsequently, after some experiments, Moshu and the corresponding craftsmen carried out a miniaturized blast furnace design on two schemes that had quite good data in the experiments.

One is a blast furnace with a vent at the top, and the other is a blast furnace with a ventilation design in the middle and bottom.

Several airtight blast furnace solutions were directly rejected by Moshu after model design. It's not that Moshu is too demanding. Instead, it is necessary to effectively increase the furnace temperature, which is completely impossible for a simple closed blast furnace.

Now is not the next generation, the current environment, there is no way to purify high-purity oxygen, such as those sealed blast furnaces in later generations, to a large extent, rely on high-purity oxygen for high-heat combustion to be able to melt iron into molten iron.

Therefore, he didn't know this, and Zhang Jiashi honestly didn't understand this situation, and when these things were written on a piece of silk, Mo Shu could only conduct in-depth research on those two blast furnaces, which could be regarded as relatively primitive.

In the following small blast furnace experiments, the blast furnace with a vent at the top performed much better than the other scheme in many aspects.

But Mo Shu was quite uneasy about this thing. Because according to his vision, this thing should not be feasible.

He didn't know where that feeling came from. Soon, though, Mo Shu understood why he thought such a design was unreliable.

It was a small blast furnace with vents open at the top, and the outer wall made of mud and stone had very obvious cracks.

"All !! back"

Mo Shu said this sentence loudly, although the others didn't understand, but they didn't dare not listen to Mo Shu's order.

In this case, thanks to Mo Shu's timely reminder, the people who should have gathered near this small blast furnace quickly dispersed, and this small blast furnace that cracked and collapsed due to excessive temperature did not cause any casualties.

Instead of sentencing this plan to death, Moshu experimented with another small blast furnace after recording what was written on a silk paper.

The second small blast furnace is very different from the previous one because the vents are located in the middle of the outer wall and at the bottom.

This design is one of Zhang Jiashi's several sets of plans.

In many ways, the figures for this small blast furnace are not as good as the former. But the result was still able to make the molten iron that Zhang Jiashi requested.

So, under Mo Shu's three experiments, this small blast furnace was enlarged.

After the success of the first experiment, Mo Shu sent someone to Dingxiang City to tell Zhang Jiashi such information.

This is also the reason why Zhang Jiashi took people to Anshan.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Accompanied by Mo Shu, Zhang Jiashi watched for a while and had already begun to enter the blast furnace workflow.

In Mo Shu's explanation, Zhang Jiashi understood that such molten iron, in terms of quality, can indeed be compared to iron bars that have been forged many times.

In a sense, as long as the molten iron is poured into the mold, the cooled things can be directly used in the battlefield after polishing. The quality is relatively good.

However, Mo Shu then spoke of a situation in which such a blast furnace wasted too much precious coal.

Although there is a lot of coal transported from other regions in Liaodong, Mo Shu knows very well that in this environment, the use of these coal stocks in such blast furnaces is more of a waste.

After hearing this, Zhang Jiashi was silent for a while before saying, "Then, Mr. Mo, according to your assumptions, how should this be?"

In these aspects, Zhang Jiashi, who can only rely on the relevant records of the Qingyu Spirit Book and understand one or two, is very helpless to find one point, that is, he can still be regarded as a blind eye for such a thing in a sense.

And although Mo Shu is not good at this area, Mo Shu is not completely relying on himself to achieve this point.

At Mo Shu's suggestion, a young craftsman who was less than twenty years old walked up to Zhang Jiashi and looked at this general Zuo who was of a similar age, but the identities of the two were like a world apart.

"Who is this person?" Zhang Jiashi looked at the young man curiously.

Mo Shu smiled, he slowly patted the young craftsman's shoulder, and said slowly: "General Zuo, although this person is relatively young, he can be said to have made great contributions to the production of these blast furnaces. Pushan, don't worry so much, just say what you think. ”

In the midst of Mo Shu's encouragement, the young man named Pushan took a deep breath and said, "General Zuo, we still have a set of plans that are limited to the raw materials for making and cannot be implemented. If I combine this fine iron with its materials, I am very sure that I will be able to make a new iron-making furnace that will be half as efficient as this. ”

Pu Shan, who finished saying this, lowered his head a little uneasily. And Zhang Jiashi looked at Mo Shu after thinking about it: "Mr. Mo, do you agree with Brother Pu's suggestion?"

Mo Shu nodded, and after looking at Zhang Jiashi for a while, he said, "Yes, Little Brother Pu's suggestion is quite feasible in my heart. But we won't know the outcome until it's actually implemented. ”

Zhang Jiashi, who heard this, touched his chin and nodded slightly: "Since this is the case, then let's improve it according to what Mr. Mo and Little Brother Pu said." ”

Zhang Jiashi's words made Zhang Jiashi see a very peculiar picture.

That is, Mo Shu just smiled as a matter of course. And his attention was on Pushan, who was very excited.

Zhang Jiashi was a little chilled: "Could it be the old guy Mo Shu...... I fell in love with this little brother......"

......

As Zhang Jiashi thought, Mo Shu really fell in love with Pushan. However, this is certainly not what Zhang Jiashi thinks. Rather, Mo Shu hoped to be able to accept Pushan as his only disciple.

Compared to this, Pushan's own wishes, Mo Shu didn't care too much, what he cared about was Zhang Jiashi's opinion.

Although Mo Shu is an inventor, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know what the world is.

If Zhang Jiashi wanted to control Pushan, an apprentice who had inherited many aspects of his teachings, he would inevitably take some drastic measures.

He had already walked into the grave with half a foot, but he was not worried that his heir would die because of something.

Moreover, Mo Shu knew very well that even if Zhang Jiashi carelessly let Pushan run away, Pushan, who basically had no strength, would be able to survive outside?

Pushan is an orphan adopted by a Korean craftsman, and no one knows what is going on with his family.

And he has been in this place for several years, because after the death of the craftsman, Pushan, who had no food and clothing, had to steal in order to survive and was sentenced to serve a sentence of hard labor in this remote place.

Therefore, taking a fancy to Pushan's potential in this area, Mo Shu had to arrange everything for his favorite apprentice.

He knew very well that with his understanding of Zhang Jiashi's character, as long as Pushan worked and relied on the name of his apprentice, it was inevitable to live a good life. In this case, how will Pu Shan choose himself, Mo Shu thinks that he still needs to help his apprentice.

Therefore, on the night of the same day, Mo Shu invited Pushan and Zhang Jiashi to have a meal together.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Zhang Jiashi was still a little stunned by Mo Shu's invitation. In his memory, Moshu was an inventor who made invention his life.

However, since the other party has such an arrangement, no matter what, Zhang Jiashi has to give his "General Armament Department" minister a face.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi happily agreed to Mo Shu's invitation.

And Zhang Jiashi definitely didn't expect that this banquet would change a lot of things.

......

Moshu's banquet was, in a sense, a fairly simple dinner. Food or something is just the standard that Zhang Jiashi arranged for Mo Shu. Obviously, Mo Shu, who has never spent much money, has not changed anything in this regard.

Of course, Mo Shu, who didn't drink a drop of wine, still put a pot of wine on the table.

After Zhang Jiashi entered Mo Shu's residence, he put down his sword and sat cross-legged next to Mo Shu.

It was not that Zhang Jiashi did not send furniture to Mo Shu, but that Mo Shu thought that such things would not be of much help to his work, so he threw them at his home in the Mo family headquarters.

Therefore, Zhang Jiashi still had to sit up cross-legged in this place.

Pushan hadn't come yet, and Zhang Jiashi was chatting with Mo Shu.

"Mr. Mo, Zhang Mou's performance towards Brother Pu seems to mean something else. Zhang Jiashi finally couldn't hide his gossip and asked this question.

Of course, Mo Shu would not have thought that Zhang Jiashi had that kind of dirty thoughts, otherwise, Mo Shu, who would have worked hard with Zhang Jiashi, nodded slowly: "Yes, General Zuo, the old man is now more than sixty years old, if there is such a day, the old man does not want to gain in his life, and he will leave with the old man." ”

Zhang Jiashi was slightly stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Mo Shu would do this in order to accept Pushan as an apprentice.

Zhang Jiashi, who knew that he was too evil, smiled without changing his face and heartbeat: "Mr. Mo should take care of such a thing himself." After all, Zhang is an outsider. ”

"General Zuo, you don't mean what you say. If Pushan had escaped from General Zuo's control after his death, I am afraid that General Zuo would not have been so comfortable. ”

Mo Shu glanced at Zhang Jiashi deeply, and Zhang Jiashi nodded after pouring the wine of him and Mo Shu: "If Pu Shan learns Mr. Mo's ability, Zhang will naturally not turn a blind eye to this situation." What Mr. Mo said is good, after all, if Pushan is reused by others, Zhang has to say, like a thorn in the back, this matter is intolerable. ”

Mo Shu didn't say anything about Zhang Jiashi's truth, he had already been mentally prepared for this. After all, it is not a strange thing for him to do this.

Maybe this is also the fate between Pushan and Zhang Jiashi.

The two then fell silent.

And at this time, Pushan walked in. After he saw Zhang Jiashi, he hurriedly planned to kneel down to salute.

Zhang Jiashi did not stop him, but slowly stood up, picked up the wine jug and filled the other empty wine jue, picked up the wine jue, walked to Pu Shan, and said, "Little brother Pu, there is another person you want to see." General Ben has an idea here, I don't know that Mr. Bai Mo, the younger brother of Pu, is the teacher, how about it?"

"Huh?" Pushan raised his head in astonishment when he heard this.

And what he saw was that Zhang Jiashi, who gradually walked in front of him and then slowly handed the wine jue to him, was showing a hint of a smile.

And after Zhang Jiashi saw Pu Shan, who hurriedly took over the wine, he said: "I don't know what Junior Brother Pu's suggestion is to General Ben?"

After looking at Zhang Jiashi and Mo Shu with a calm face, Pu Shan said a little puzzled: "This, I have already learned the craft from my adoptive father before......"

"It's okay, Mr. Mo naturally doesn't care about this. Zhang Jiashi looked at Pushan angrily, and then continued to smile.

"That'...... Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship. After Pushan heard Zhang Jiashi's words, he had to make a quick decision.

In Pushan's mind, this result may be good.

In the next meal, Zhang Jiashi didn't see what Mo Shu gave Pushan. He didn't ask either, after all, it was a matter between the other party's two masters and apprentices.

It's just that after Zhang Jiashi planned to say goodbye and leave, what Zhang Jiashi saw was that Pushan actually fell on the dinner table with a "bang" like he used to be.

If Zhang Jiashi remembers correctly, Pushan is only drunk three wines, can he get drunk?

Zhang Jiashi touched the tip of his nose, and then planned to say goodbye and leave.

It's just that before he could speak, Mo Shu first said a sentence: "General Zuo, I don't know if you can help the old man take care of Pushan?"

"Huh?" Zhang Jiashi was puzzled and wanted to say something, but Mo Shu stood up and lifted a curtain that led to the room.

Well, Zhang Jiashi finally knew why Mo Shu would say this request.

Because Moshu's room is, in a sense, a fairly tidy warehouse......

Perhaps, Mo Shu himself will not have any problems, but if Pushan stays in this place for one night, it is difficult for Zhang Jiashi to guarantee that Pushan, who is relatively thin and weak, will not be directly crushed to death by the garbage heap.

Zhang Jiashi looked at Mo Shu, who was very calm, speechlessly, and said a sentence after a long time: "Mr. Mo, Zhang has changed his opinion of you." ”

And Mo Shu's face was rarely slightly red......

Zhang Jiashi helplessly held one of Pu Shan's hands, and then walked to his room step by step.

And some of the guards, as well as Yao Yong, who came with him, saw this situation and said something puzzled.

After Zhang Jiashi saw Yao Yong, he said to Yao Yong angrily: "Brother Yao, give you a task, this little brother will go to your room to stay for one night." ”

"Ah, my lord, don't bring this, Yong is not as good as Longyang. Yao Yong said this sentence with a bitter face.

Zhang Jiashi rolled his eyes helplessly: "Do you know that you can be pure when you think about these things" (voiceover: You are embarrassed to say this...... This is an order! Come, someone gave it to you, if anything goes wrong, you can explain it to Mr. Mo yourself. ”

Zhang Jiashi then saw Yao Yong, whose face was bitter, and after snorting a few times, he entered his temporary residence.

And Yao Yong, holding Pu Shan, looked at a few gloating subordinates, and said viciously: "If you rabbit cubs are talking nonsense outside, be careful that I take your skin!"

Several guards suddenly stood in a solemn and solemn state, looking ahead without squinting......

And Yao Yong snorted lightly, with a bitter face, and walked towards the room next to Zhang Jiashi step by step.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

That night, it was quiet.

But in the early morning of the next day, Zhang Jiashi was still asleep, and suddenly heard a sharp exclamation:

"Ah!!!!h

Zhang Jiashi sat up on the bed in a daze, and he muttered, "Damn! That bastard dares to do such a thing when he is on duty?"

After saying this, Zhang Jiashi planned to get up and change his clothes.

It's just that what he saw was that Yao Yong, who had received a slap on his face, his palm prints were red and his clothes were neat, walked to his room with a sad face, and said a sentence: "My lord, don't you know, who you brought over yesterday is a woman?"

Zhang Jiashi opened his mouth and found that he couldn't say anything......
