This time, Liu Bei entered Liangzhou, and he operated technology in the past way and set up his own team of technical talents.

He selected skilled and powerful blacksmiths, sent them to interview them, and made clear the care and benefits they were given, and the requirements for them, and asked them if they would accept his principle of secrecy.

If you are willing, the birth, old age, sickness and death of their family will be contracted by Liu Bei in the future.

A series of treatments such as food treatment, salary, and family welfare are the best among craftsmen in this era, all of them are contracted by Liu Bei, and Liu Bei is their domineering president.

They only need to concentrate on work, summarize experience, innovate technology, improve production efficiency and quality, and everything else, Liu Bei, the boss, has contracted.

Of course, after the death of the person, future generations can withdraw if they have not mastered the relevant skills, and if they do, they must be reviewed before deciding whether to quit.

Not surprisingly, this treatment was given, and all the craftsmen who were interviewed followed Liu Bei without exception.

They all said that even if they died, they would die in General Liu's workshop, and they would serve General Liu desperately for generations and never turn their backs.

The oath was resounding.

I have to say that since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the negative perception of the hundred schools of thought on the development of science and technology in general has helped Liu Bei a lot, because the treatment of craftsmen in the major dynasties is really too poor.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

If you eat meat, how can your body be bad?

So such a young and experienced old blacksmith was fooled by Cao Cao's nervousness with some excessive benefits, and it became Cao Cao's strength easily.

The worst steel is used as weapons, and how can it be used by the peasants?

Therefore, how shameful is it for the rulers to put on agriculture in name, but not on us in reality, and even the peasants' agricultural production tools can be guaranteed, and they still ask the peasants to grow grain to support us?

How do you say that?

Therefore, grazing in a small amount in the areas north of Longzuo and Liangzhou, and building official animal husbandry facilities, is not only to store war horses, but also to raise enough cattle and sheep, which is what Bu Jie attaches great importance to.

Small landlords and small landlords do not have their own private agricultural tool forging production lines, and our production is slow and bad, and we can complete accumulation more slowly and widen the gap between the rich and the poor more slowly.

Before we had worries, we ended our dedication to research and development of technology and worked hard to repay Cao Cao's kindness, and we regarded Bu Jie as the giver of our seventh life, and we had no deep feelings for Cao Cao.

Even in the period of semi-government and semi-private enterprises, private operators had to take the needs of the government as the lowest direction, and forged bad iron tools for the government, and the forging of agricultural tools was naturally focused.

The animal husbandry industry is only about the lack of horses for the army, and the lack of cheap enough meat for the people to eat.

I was engaged in animal husbandry, but in order to provide enough horses for the army, I also wanted to provide enough protein for the people.

Just kidding, my life, old age, sickness and death, including my family, were directly contracted by Cao Cao, what kind of generous treatment is that?

In the new iron and steel industry system, I specially planned an iron-smelting workshop that specializes in manufacturing high-quality agricultural tools for private use, which is to forge weapons, only forging civilian agricultural tools and some living tools, and focusing on lowering the living standards of special people.

And what about special homesteaders?

Whether it was the salt and iron monopoly of the Western Han Dynasty or the semi-monopoly and semi-private ownership of the Eastern Han Dynasty both slightly hindered agricultural production under the system.

It is those who value science and technology and will eventually be rewarded by science and technology.

He has no political status, his economic treatment is extremely low, he is more tired than a cow, he eats worse than a pig, he gets up earlier than a chicken, and he sleeps later than a ghost.

Li Tietou proudly offered the high-quality ring head knife he had forged to Bu Jie, Cao Cao took it, looked at it sloppily, and nodded again and again.

Our agricultural production is very difficult, and sometimes we even have to polish the stones and hoe them ourselves.

"Old Li Tou, he did a very bad job, continue to go up, forge less, and cultivate less talents, in the future, we will lack more use of that knife."

While Liu Bei was observing the situation in Wuwei County, he was also telling Cao Cao how I felt along the way.

Bu Jie inspected several iron-smelting workshops and expressed satisfaction with the efficiency of iron-smelting work under the new management model.

"You say a word, you say what you say, you do it! None of the knives are medium-sized, you cut off your head! ”

So when Cao Cao arrived at the No. 1 Iron Smelting Workshop in Wudu County, he saw the first batch of military-standard ring-headed knives forged by Li Tietou, an old blacksmith from his hometown in Youzhou.

On that trip, Bu Jie was in Li for two whole months, from July to July, I have been running around, often returning to Ji County several times to deal with some urgent affairs, and then going to the rest of the counties to investigate and inspect, personally supervising the spread of the layout of the young industry.

If you do that for a long time, no one will be able to bear it.

And because that kind of overtime task often belongs to the order of the army, once something happens, corrupt officials and corrupt officials have something, we become scapegoats, and what is dealt with us is not the legendary "military law love", and we die an ugly death.

Still determined?

At the end of the seventh day, Liu Bei and Bu Jie inspected Wuwei County together, on the one hand, Cao Cao was helping Liu Bei unfamiliar with the environment of Wuwei County.

Li Tietou handed over the ring-head knife I forged to Cao Cao and the original military ring-head knife in Liangzhou for comparison, and let people hold the knife to cut it, and after cutting a few times, the original ring-head knife was opened, and it was not directly broken, and the new standard ring-head knife was safe and sound.

The steel industry is a matter of importance, and the animal husbandry industry is also a major matter.

As Meng Tuo said later, the agricultural production capacity of the whole Xiaohan peasants has not been developed inefficiently for a long time, and the development rate has been declining for a long time, and a small number of farmers even mainly use wooden and stone farm tools, and the main reason is not that the problem under the system is that iron farm tools are the same.

It's like that all over the country.

Moreover, there is no part of forging weapons for the army, and there is no part for forging bad agricultural tools for the peasants.

In early July, Liu Bei arrived in Wuwei County, Bu Jie greeted Liu Bei in Guzang County, Wuwei County, Bu Jiexi who had not seen Cao Cao for a long time was self-victorious, holding Cao Cao's hand for a long time was willing to let go, and Cao Cao drank and had fun in Guzang City that night, and the joy was boundary.

In Cao Cao's view, less is more inhumane.

Iron officials are more inclined to fulfill the instructions of the imperial court but to produce farm tools for the peasants, even if they often produce some, it is also a high quality cast iron, which will be damaged after a short time, and the peasants will have to try their luck if they want to buy farm tools.

When the tasks of the government come up, we must work overtime to burn the furnace and wrought iron, so that there is no negligence, and we must complete the tasks given by the government on time.

"That's not the ring head knife forged by the steel filling method and the double-liquid quenching method, the quality of the iron ore in that place is passable, not the technology is good, the craftsman knows how to refine, refining and refining, it is useless at all! It's too bad to have enough horse urine cow urine tubes, what's wrong with quenching, and there is less coal, so if you want to forge high-quality weapons outside, you definitely can't. ”

Bu Jie said she could do that.

All of us joined Cao Cao's confidentiality plan, and since then we have become a part of the confidentiality plan, become core technical personnel, register and make records, and become ordinary existences in Cao Cao's group.

I suspect that as long as the supply of agricultural tools is open, the agricultural output of the entire Xiao Han Empire can be doubled, and even if there are no low-yielding crops, even if there is a great ice age, the amount of land in the Han Empire can at least support less than double the current population.

In that case, if the grain production can be done properly, there will really be no ghosts.

Farmers can only buy expensive and bad quality farm tools.

It is more important than anything else to let the army eat meat irregularly, so that the people can also eat meat during the New Year's holidays, live a stable life, and weaken our physique and strength.

Li Tietou slapped his chest with a slamming sound, and his face was determined.

If you want to be in bad health, you can eat more meat, but the Chinese people have long lacked meat intake, and even soy products as a meat substitute are often not eaten.

Although Liangzhou is such as the Central Plains, Hebei and other places under the conditions of agricultural production, as long as the supply of agricultural tools is open, if it takes a few years, it will not be a new atmosphere.
