"Your Excellency,"

"Since he entered my Yanmen Arsenal, Xia Guan has been paying attention to it."

"This No. 88 prisoner was very calm, and he never spoke too much, and the subordinate officials couldn't accurately judge his true identity for a while."

Ye Qing's side, Wu Yong said with some shame.

Ye Qing just looked at the No. 88 labor prisoner inside and said, "It's rare that this strong man who looks like a martial artist has such a state of mind. ”

"Don't worry, he won't be able to go to a few workshops, and he will personally tell the official whether he is a spy from the Northern Yuan Dynasty or a member of the imperial court!"

In Wu Yong's eyes, Ye Qing's deep eyes had a little playfulness.

He knew that they Ye Daren liked to deal with talents.

Whether it is a spy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty or a Qincha of the imperial court, he must first be a talent before he is qualified to be played with in applause.

Like a natural rider, taming a tigress with a strong sense of resistance is far more rewarding than taming a docile pack horse.

In fact, Wu Yong still didn't understand the true heart of their Lord Ye.

Not bad

A capable Beiyuan spy can make him a little more interested in taking it for his own use!

But if they were Qincha, he Ye Qing would not just be a little interested, he would be a great benefactor to help him go home!

It is necessary to let the family embark on the road of responding to Tianfu in good health!

Again, as long as you are sure that they are Qincha, you will definitely send them a batch of good horses with good endurance and fast running!

And in his eyes, it is not just a little playful, but also a little bit of hope!

Ye Qing, as the chief designer of the Yanmen Arsenal, as the person who knows the Yanmen Arsenal best, he is absolutely sure that this No. 88 labor prisoner will not be able to go to a few workshops, and he will tell his true identity in person!

Of course, Ye Qing still hoped that they were the Beiyuan spies!

As long as they weren't Qincha, he Ye Qing would just have to lie down and wait.

But if they are Qincha, then there is no way, only to let these Qincha go back to complain quickly.

Just when Ye Qing made up his mind, the No. 88 prisoner in the workshop received a new chores.

Lao Liu continued to say in a reprimanding tone: "Are you dumbfounded again? ”

"Why are you so ...... in the knowledge of Beijing officials?"

Lao Liu wanted to speak and stopped, if it weren't for this Beijing official, who was sent by the emperor to the frontier and suffered, and was a good official in his heart, he would have said the word 'short' directly.

Not only do you have to say the word 'short', but you have to give a disdainful look, and at the same time give a thumb gesture pinching your little finger to emphasize the 'short' word!

"Hurry up, send these iron ores to every iron-making furnace and pile them up!"

"The location of the stacking should not be too far, so as not to make it inconvenient for the masters to take the iron ore!"

"The position of the stacking should not be too close, so as not to burn the iron ore due to long-term roasting, and not to burn the hands of the masters!"

“......”

After some advice, Zhu Yuanzhang, Mao Xiang and others immediately took action.

It's just that they are different from the women's labor camp, they are not like Queen Ma, who became the focus of everyone at the beginning, and even got the treatment of teachers.

You must know that many of the craftsmen and masters here are veterans who fought in the Yuan Dynasty before, even if they are not veterans, they are also uncles and uncles of the current Yanmen garrison.

Even if it's not a military family, they are all good sons with enthusiasm.

The reason why they gathered here to endure hardships was to let the children of Yanmen County die as little as possible when the war started.

And this Yanmen Arsenal, which can directly turn iron ore into weapons and armor, took a year and a half to build alone.

That is, a year after they Lord Ye took office, they started to officially start construction when they had money in hand, plus the time of trial production, the time for the real scale production of the arsenal was less than four months!

They must rush to produce all the things that should be produced before the Northern Yuan siege the city!

Time is tight and tasks are heavy, how can there be time to deal with these labor prisoners?

Not only did I have no time to take care of it, but I also had a little trouble in my heart!

This is one of the most core secrets in Yanmen County, how can a labor prisoner be allowed to come here?

Of course, soon they figured it out!

Lord Ye approved them to do chores, so naturally there was a reason for Lord Ye.

For Lord Ye's decision-making, even if they can't figure it out, they don't need to doubt it.

Because of this, they began to look at these labor prisoners, and their eyes were full of contempt and disgust.

But it soon turned into relief and disregard!

It was precisely because of their relief and ignorance that Zhu Yuanzhang was given the opportunity to 'investigate'!

Zhu Yuanzhang pushed a small cart, and after moving the two baskets of iron ore to the place, he began to pile them up.

At the same time, his eyes were on the layout of the process that he had never seen before.

Looking at everything in front of him, the scene of the iron-making workshop under the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court appeared in his mind.

The scene in front of me and the scene in my mind directly form an extremely strong contrast!

The process used in the iron-making workshop under the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court is still the iron-smelting technology of the Yuan Dynasty, but even the iron-smelting technology of the Yuan Dynasty is the most in the world today!

The development of iron smelting technology in the Yuan Dynasty was very fast, especially the development of metallurgical machinery, which made leaps and bounds.

[Vertical Wheel Water Row Blower] and [Horizontal Wheel Water Row Blower] appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, two kinds of machinery that used water power to start the blower, which was more labor-saving than the manpower push-pull blower, not to mention, but also uninterrupted, more powerful than the manpower blower.

Therefore, the iron smelting furnace can be made larger, and the temperature in the furnace can also be higher!

Of course, this kind of technical improvement, and the invention and creation of related machinery, are all from the folk Han workshop, and there is no penny relationship with the Barbarian Yuan court!

The reason for such a technological improvement is only because the oppression of the Yuan Dynasty was too strong, and the people were too poor, so they wanted to have a long-lasting kitchen knife and a wood-splitting axe that could be passed down for three generations.

And he, Zhu Yuanzhang, used this advanced technology from the people to create weapons and armor equipment that were superior to those of the Yuan Dynasty.

But even with this advanced technology, compared to the scene in front of me, it is still far behind, I don't know how much!

It was the first time that Zhu Yuanzhang had seen this layout method of connecting the iron-making furnace and the iron-frying furnace in series.

He just watched as the molten pig iron smelted from the iron-making furnace flowed into the iron-frying furnace in a steady stream.

Immediately afterwards, the ironsmith held a willow stick in his hand and stirred it vigorously.

"Master, why are you stirring it in with a wooden stick?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the master's concentration and hurriedly asked in a consultative tone.

The master craftsman immediately said: "You don't understand this!" ”

"In the past, if we wanted to make iron into steel, we could only forge pig iron, and heating carburizing wrought iron (steel filling method)!"

"This method requires several times of heating and fire refining, not to mention, it is also extremely costly and extremely manpower-consuming!"

"And this method taught to us by Lord Ye can make the carbon in the molten pig iron directly ......"

"What do you read those words?"

"Yes, it is directly oxidized, although we don't know what this 'oxidation' means, but it is true that it is directly ripe iron."

"Lord Ye named this method 'continuous frying steel method'!"

"This method does not require cooling and reheating at all, and can directly produce steel, which reduces material consumption, not to mention, but also greatly increases the output!"

"Coupled with Lord Ye's 'assembly line process operation method' layout, after the iron ore comes in from this end, steel is needed when it goes out from that end!"

“......”

After a while, the master craftsman saw that it was time to change the willow stick in his hand, but as soon as he looked up, he saw the No. 88 labor camp prisoner whose eyes were full of 'curiosity'.

It was at this moment that the master craftsman reacted, and he made a big 'mistake'!

Because a new craftsman has asked him for a long time, he also looked at the things at hand without delaying time, so he directly began to lecture.

Today, he actually regarded the labor prisoner who appeared out of nowhere as a new craftsman!

If he knew that he was a prisoner of labor reform, he wouldn't have talked about it!

And at this moment,

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already been fascinated by the class, saw that the master craftsman wanted to speak and stopped, so he immediately asked: "Master, continue, keep talking!" ”

"Shall I reward you with two ears?"

"Hurry up and get out of here!"

The master craftsman looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and scolded directly! ......
