Chapter 260: The Original Furnace Can't Be Built in Another Furnace (Third Update)
"Quick, cook, I'm going to get a good night's sleep after eating, and I'll sleep until tomorrow morning."
As soon as the people of Xiaqiu Village returned to the village, someone shouted, apparently living in a tent outside was not as comfortable as at home.
The children participate in the cooking, hurry up, there are many people, and the people who come to help have to eat before leaving.
The people sent by the palace were happy together, and they were finally able to go back, and they were very busy in the village.
Livestock, poultry, greenhouses, beekeeping, duck and goose eggs, milking, stove watching......
The only benefit is that you can drink milk and eat eggs, not to mention the vegetables in the greenhouse, and the rice, flour, oil and seasoning are taken on demand.
Even so, they want to go back, get used to some kind of life, suddenly change, don't adapt.
So after lunch, the palace brought a lot of things on the boat, and the villagers cleaned up all the things in the village, took a bath, and went home to sleep.
Zhu Wentian ran to the mountain temple, added some lamp oil, adjusted the lamp center, pulled on the quilt, and fell asleep.
Zhu Biao in the palace couldn't fall asleep before dark, and he took the crown princess to deliver food to Kunning Palace at night.
Zhu Yuanzhang got the news in advance and didn't go to other places to eat and sleep.
"Dad, the blast furnace iron smelting of the first furnace has come out, and the labor and materials required are five times that of the other best smelting methods.
Craftsmen are adjusting to increase production, mainly in refractory bricks, and at the same time, the blast furnace that has not used refractory bricks is built to produce scrap iron, which contains too many impurities.
The main reason is that if it is too hot, the furnace can't bear it, so it has to cool down, and the temperature does not drop the waste furnace, and the temperature drops the scrap iron.
In addition, it is not possible to burn with charcoal, the temperature cannot go up, and the iron ore is best to be manually beneficiated in the early stage, and the beneficiation is ......"
Zhu Biao came to report on the blast furnace, the cost of manpower and materials is the same, and the tapping is five times.
As for converter steelmaking, there is no need to try, Xiaqiu Village has built a small one outside Donghua Gate, and you can look at it in the past.
"Good!" Zhu Yuanzhang licked the newly inlaid teeth with his tongue: "The ore there is easy to mine, and with blast furnace smelting, the firearms of the Ming army will be increased by half." ”
"That is, once the converter is expanded, the air intake will not work, and the converter in Xiaqiu Village will produce waste iron and other slag." When Zhu Biao talked about this, he was worried again.
He felt that once a large number of converters were used, there would be a lot of scrap iron that could not be disposed of and wasted.
"Biao'er, write a letter tomorrow morning and send it to Xiaqiu Village." Queen Ma didn't think about the troubles at all, and handed them over to the masters of Xiaqiu Village to see how the other party dealt with them.
"Yes, ask Xiaqiu Village. Did anyone say that the ministers' newly inlaid teeth were uncomfortable? Zhu Yuanzhang asked about teeth.
"The children have not heard of it, and they will never come to the children because of their teeth." Zhu Biao shook his head, he is the prince, not the imperial doctor.
"We'll ask tomorrow." Zhu Yuanzhang found out that he really had to ask himself, some courtiers were embarrassed to say that it was still uncomfortable, wouldn't it be that he was guilty of instinting his teeth?
……
At dawn, the villagers of Xiaqiu Village woke up one after another, full of energy, and it was past the usual time for breakfast.
Last night, some people ran to feed the livestock, and they had to work in the spring, so they had to eat well.
Now such a person has not woken up, and as soon as he relaxes, he enters the stage of physical recovery.
"Thanks to the large number of meals cooked at noon yesterday, it is hot and hot, and it is eaten according to two meals a day, which is not as good as at home in Nanjing."
The captain is in a good state, directing people to heat rice, and some dishes can be mixed together to heat, a hodgepodge, and it tastes good!
Usually, the leftover dishes from the table are disposed of in this way, and they are reluctant to throw them away.
Some of the other villagers continued to feed their livestock, while others released chickens, ducks and geese to find food for themselves outside and feed them when they returned.
Just after eating the leftovers, a boat came over from the east.
"Zhu Lichang, what are you eating? We came out early. Zhu Taiyi smiled.
"It's all leftover from yesterday's noon, you sit down first, and fry two dishes separately for you."
The chief felt embarrassed, the villagers were lazy today.
"No, I'm hungry, that's all. Letter to, His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
As soon as Zhu Taiyi handed over the letter, there was no lacquer seal on it, which made people feel at ease.
After the meal, the chief found Han Han in the ancestral hall: "The prince said that the converter does not have enough oxygen for steelmaking, and there is a lot of scrap iron." ”
Zhu Wentian took the letter and scanned it: "The converter is used in the village for rapid steeling, and it has high oxygen requirements, and we don't have the oxygen production equipment, so we have been blowing hard."
At present, Daming makes a large amount of steel, and cannot use converters, so I draw a set of drawings, use open hearth, scrap steel, and scrap iron to make steel.
The best stove is actually an electric stove, don't think about it for the time being, electric ...... Not at the moment. ”
Zhu Wentian knew what the problem was, and remedied it, the open hearth was actually good.
"Sure enough, we have to move in, today is a technical problem, who knows what tomorrow will be? The more you get, the more you give. ”
The lieutenant found that the days of peace were gradually gone, and said very philosophical things.
"There shouldn't be much going on...... Right? Zhu Wentian wasn't very sure.
"You get some sleep first, and then you get up." The lieutenant went out with his hands behind his back.
Zhu Wentian went to sleep innocently, sleepy after eating, and the drawings of the key open-hearth stove were complete sets, and they had to be painted for a few days.
……
On the first day of the second month of the fifth year of Hongwu, the big move in Xiaqiu Village began.
The imperial court mobilized sixty ships near Xiaqiu Village on the Huangchi River, loading one boat and leaving one.
Livestock and poultry should be taken away, all kinds of materials stored in Xiaqiu Village were loaded on the ship, and bamboo sunflower and white fungus were placed in layers.
And the brass coins, and the cloth, and the silver, and the silver, and the bedding that pressed the bottom of the box, were to be taken away.
The coffin was left, and what the village elders prepared in advance was good wood, and once they died, they had to be sent back for burial.
There are also bacon, sausages, beehives in general, post-made glass, glass mirrors, binoculars, and some silage......
Mrs. Zhu helped with one or four people, and if Xiaqiu Village did not move, it would not be possible to see the extent of the family's great business.
They found that sixty ships were not enough to load, and this was not all the belongings, and the wine made by Xiaqiu Village was still in the cellar and had not been moved.
"O Zhu Lichang! The village is too rich. Zhu Taiyi said to the lieutenant chief.
"Where is the money? It's worth a lot of money. Is the lacquer over there all right? Don't smoke people. ”
The governor is very complacent, oops! Our village is indeed not ordinary, and we need to hire a lot of people this year.
"Six days ago, the house was all cleaned up, including the household belongings inside, and it was grilled with charcoal, and the wood of the furniture was all old and good, and it was not deformed.
In order to make our village move over quickly, His Majesty did not spend less money and used 10,000 craftsmen to work.
The house outside Chaoyangmen is no different from the layout here, and inside you feel like the village is now.
It's that the river next to it is a little smaller, and it can't fit the big waterwheel, so a small waterwheel is created.
There are also silage ponds and dining halls, and three-story two-story shrine halls, which have cornices. ”
Zhu Taiyi introduced the situation in Nanjing, and finally emphasized that the ancestral hall has cornices, which is beyond the system.
