Chapter 144: Iron tenon, the craftsman's craft
Although Wang Pengyue was unhappy, he still went to take the tool knife he used.
The old man was not a verbose person, and said, "Don't you just want to make these pieces of iron look like you want, isn't it simple?" ”
"Think of this wood as iron now."
As he spoke, the old man began to use a knife to make gestures and chisels.
After a while, several dexterous little wooden blocks were presented in the old man's hands.
The old man glanced at them, snorted, and quickly assembled several small pieces of wood together with his fingers.
formed the perfect arc they wanted.
And from the outside, there are no cracks, gaps, and the curvature of the outside is also very consistent.
Jiang Yang's heart gave birth to two words "tenon".
This is a representative creation of a generation in ancient China, and you can get what you want by making the iron into the mortise and tenon structure you want and then filling and assembling it.
Isn't that simple?
Wang Pengyue was stunned, why didn't he think of it? Is it really a brain show funny?
Uneasy, he still picked up the things in the old man's hand and looked at them, and then tested them with sand and soil, and then tested them with water, but it really didn't penetrate.
That's amazing.
Jiang Yang was also a little stunned, isn't this just a disguised modification of his own drawings?
That's a good thing.
"Is the old gentleman's method feasible?" Jiang Yang asked with a smile.
Although Wang Pengyue was a little unhappy, he still nodded and said, "It's feasible." ”
"If we use molds to make the iron into the structure we want, we only need to assemble it, which is not only faster but also saves manpower."
Jiang Yang nodded, but didn't say anything, the fire gun~ used to practice for them.
Anyway, the drawings are there, and even if there is a problem, it is not a big problem, all that is needed is to take time to build.
"This old gentleman was invited by me, and the old gentleman's forging level is no less than that of everyone here."
"But the old gentleman has other important tasks, and he is not here all the time, but he will help you to study the flintlock pistol, and you can discuss and learn from each other if you have any problems."
Jiang Yang only introduced the old man at this time.
When it comes to the old man's forging level, the old man is a spirit, with his chest high and his head up.
Jiang Yang, who was watching it, was speechless for a while, what's wrong, people still love to show off so much when they are old?
Bored....
"Let's get to know each other." As he spoke, he looked at Wang Pengyue and said to him, "You arrange for someone to bring the old man to get acquainted, and you come with me." ”
Wang Pengyue quickly arranged for someone to lead the old man to a familiar place, and he came to the inner hall with Jiang Yang.
Hurriedly added a pot of hot water to Jiang Yang.
"How's the armor being built so far?" Jiang Yang was the first to ask.
At a time when flintlock pistols or even breech guns were not fully used in the army, armor was very important and could not be ignored.
Themselves only accelerated this development process and not omitted it.
"At present, more than 300 pairs of armor can be built every day, but it is simple, as long as there are enough helpers, it can be produced faster."
Understood, let's tell myself about the lack of people.
Jiang Yang ignored him and asked, "How much have you built your farm tools?" ”
"Hey, hey, wasn't it okay some time ago~" Wang Pengyue said: "I haven't built 10,000 pairs of looks!" ”
It's not a difficult thing to have some shovels, rakes and other things, and now although the Wangji blacksmith shop is said to have fewer people, it doesn't know where to go compared to the blacksmith shop outside.
It is not difficult to build farm tools, and there are molds, so Wang Ji blacksmith shop is naturally very fast.
10,000 pairs, enough to use.
There are about 100,000 people in the new countryside of Xiami County, even if there are six or seven people in one household, one set per household, and those who are not enough can borrow from each other, and many people "work" in Xiami County.
Naturally, the number of people farming is also smaller.
The most important thing is that 10,000 tools for this plough were made, and many people already had tools, and when they built the embankments on both sides of the river, they also had some old tools in their hands.
Overall sufficient.
"Yes, you don't have to worry about people's affairs, as for those who need to do chores and need helpers, I will help you find a way, Xiami County has been publicizing policies recently, and many outsiders have come to defect, and it takes time to accumulate and accumulate."
The second is the dental line.
"My lord, the key is that we still lack experienced craftsmen, and these cannot be cultivated in a short period of time." Wang Pengyue said.
He didn't understand Jiang Yang's thoughts, rolled his eyes and said, "The village you mentioned last time, I'll go to see if I can ask for a move in a few days." ”
"But don't always put your hopes in one person, what if they would rather die than come? I can still kill them. ”
"You arrange for people to go to other surrounding counties, including Beihai County, to dig up those experienced masters."
"If you want to come to Xiami County to settle down and start a business, send a house and send a field!" Jiang Yang waved his hand, very arrogant.
Isn't it the talent settlement policy? Isn't it just a war for people?
Just copy it!
"Done!"
Seeing that Wang Pengyue agreed, Jiang Yang said: "But some of the situation in that village, you go back and write something for me to see, only by knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can you survive a hundred battles." ”
"How much iron ore you have, remember to go back and weigh it yourself, it's all about money."
"Understand, when the iron mine arrives, Lord Wang Tong will arrange for someone to come over."
"Okay, so you can get busy, the old man is not simple, and he will arrange a lot of people to study humbly." Jiang Yang nodded.
So he arranged for the servant to take three or five pairs of farm tools and load them on the carriage and rush back.
Rushed back to the county office, rested for a while, and after eating, the people below came to report that the county lord was hurrying up, and in the morning, he arranged for someone to invite the chief, the chief of the body, and the chief of the first of more than 30 villages around him, and this meeting had expired. (It's so troublesome, can you replace it with the word village chief in the future, I thank you in advance.) )
Here in the square of this new countryside, Jiang Yang arrived slowly with farm tools.
There were about a hundred people, but there were quite a few onlookers.
Chinese people~ love to watch lively.
Jiang Yang walked into the crowd without caring about the farm tools, and said, "You have called everyone here today, there is indeed a good thing." ”
"First of all, I will send you a batch of farm tools, these farm tools are made of good materials, and there are some novel things, I will teach you how to use them later."
"The second is the seed that I promised everyone before, ploughing the cow! This time, it was implemented for everyone. ”
Hearing this, the village chiefs of each village whispered, and their joy was indescribable.
They thought Jiang Yang was just talking, but they didn't expect it to be true.
