Chapter 74: Lord Ye's talent makes Zhu Yuanzhang sad and happy (ask for more)
found out that he taught the wrong person the ironmaking master, so to speak, he pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang's nose and scolded.
But despite his loud voice, it didn't attract much attention in this noisy ironmaking workshop.
But even so, Ye Qing and Wu Yong, who have always paid attention to Zhu Yuanzhang, have seen everything.
In fact, they stood outside the workshop window, the distance was quite far, and they couldn't hear what the specific scolding was.
They only saw the iron-making master pointing at the No. 88 labor camp prisoner and scolding him through the iron-making furnace and the iron-frying furnace, and they could only see the appearance of the No. 88 labor camp prisoner and the iron-making master's sideways eyebrows.
"My lord, why is Lao Yang so angry?"
"Although the lower officials can't hear what they say, it seems that Lao Yang said a lot to him just now, how can he change his face when he changes his face?"
"Although this Lao Yang is such a gunpowder jar that ignites a little bit, people haven't provoked him!"
Ye Qing just pointed to his prison uniform and said, "His clothes have provoked Lao Yang." ”
When Wu Yong heard this, he remembered that Lao Yang had noticed his clothes as a labor prisoner, so he changed his face directly.
Thinking of this, even if you can't hear what they said before, you can analyze it.
It must be this person who is not sure whether it is a spy of the Northern Yuan Dynasty or the No. 88 labor prisoner of the imperial court, who has done something that is in line with these two identities!
That is to take advantage of Lao Yang's serious work, and set his technical words!
Lao Yang felt that he had been tricked by a labor prisoner, so he was directly annoyed and angry!
Just when Wu Yonggang figured it out, Mao Xiao, who had always maintained a distance from Zhu Yuanzhang who could escort him at any time, rushed over at once.
But before Mao Xiao could react, Ye Qing saw the guy wearing the No. 88 prison uniform, with the name 'Guo Rui' written on the road guide, and directly grabbed Mao Xiang's hand and gave him a 'don't move' look.
Immediately afterwards, he dragged Mao Xiang away and continued to push the rickshaw forward.
Seeing this, Ye Qing also nodded generously and gave him an appreciative look.
Even if he is really a Northern Yuan spy, Ye Qing will not be stingy with his praise, after all, he is also a person who has been a general for several lifetimes, and this bit of strength is still there.
He saw that the No. 88 prisoner was just silently pushing the cart away, but there was also a hint of imperceptible fierceness in his eyes, and he was really gritting his teeth and enduring it.
Just because he was able to endure so far for the goal in his heart, he deserves a small praise.
Despite the environmental factors, even if he didn't want to endure it, he had to endure it!
But when he was able to face a sudden anger, the first thing that popped into his mind was the word 'forbearance', which is already rare.
Minfeng is a barbarian Beiyuan, how can there be such a talent?
There must be, but it's rare!
Does the imperial court have such talents?
Not to mention grabbing a handful, but it's definitely not rare!
Therefore, it can be seen from here that the possibility that they are the imperial court is greater than the possibility of the Northern Yuan spies!
Thinking of this, Ye Qing's eyes also had a little unsatisfactory meaning.
Ye Qing hoped that they were Northern Yuan spies, anyway, they were in their own hands, and they had no chance to escape, and they could even find a way to make these people use by Yanmen.
What's more, if they are Northern Yuan spies, it can basically be proved that Zhu Yuanzhang did not send someone to secretly investigate this process first, he just needs to wait for the death decree to arrive.
It even proves that he can't wait long!
Of course, it doesn't matter if they are really the imperial court's envoys, they just have to wait a little longer!
But Ye Qing has lived hundreds of years of ancient life, and he really doesn't want to stay here for a day!
Just when Ye Qing secretly hoped that their next performance could prove that they were the Northern Yuan spies, the No. 88 labor prisoner suddenly stopped and couldn't leave.
In the workshop,
Zhu Yuanzhang saw a strange machine that he had never seen before!
Zhu Yuanzhang only saw that there was a diversion canal on the edge of the river outside the workshop window, which led the water to the direction of the workshop.
Such a water diversion layout is not unusual, and there are military workshops under the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, and even some larger workshops in the private sector that make kitchen knives and axes for the people also have such a layout.
In order to drive the [vertical wheel water row blower] and [horizontal wheel water row blower].
However, the layout corresponding to this station is not to drive these two machines, but a machine that uses a hydraulic hammer to forge iron.
He only saw the hammer forging master holding the clamp, where he kept turning over the red semi-finished iron, but he didn't pick up the hammer forging material!
Just because there is a machine that uses water power to make the big hammer hammer constantly, it perfectly replaces the manual hammer forging!
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into a trance!
"yes!"
"Why hasn't anyone come up with such an idea?"
"You can use hydraulic blowing, why can't you use hydraulic hammer forging?"
“......”
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately thought of the importance of hammer forging.
In fact, before the Song Dynasty, charcoal was used to make iron, that is, from the beginning of the Song Dynasty, it was changed to coal to make iron.
Coal ironmaking has greatly increased production, but greatly reduced quality!
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know why, he only knew that it was all black carbon anyway, but the iron smelted from coal was worse than the iron smelted from charcoal, which also created the sentence 'The performance of ancient swords and swords is better than that of today's craftsmen'.
Not only is the sword inferior to the Tang knife, but even the gun will not take long to explode, in order to reduce the probability of the gun exploding, the only way to increase the thickness of the barrel is to increase the barrel.
But this not only makes the guns more cumbersome, but also wastes a lot of materials!
But there is no way, charcoal really dare not overuse, and if it continues to be used like this, the green mountains will become bald mountains!
Of course, there is no way to solve the adverse effects of coal ironmaking, and the method is not difficult, that is, to increase the hammer forging of semi-finished products.
But in this way, it is time-consuming and time-consuming!
Xu Da's general's customized armor can do this, but it is impossible for ordinary soldiers to do it!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this machine with staggered gears and 'constantly hammered with hydraulic power', and immediately smiled.
"If only our arsenal had this machine!"
After having such an idea, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask in an inquiring tone: "Master, who invented this hydraulic forging machine?" ”
Like the ironsmith, the hammer smith also looked at the things in his hands, and said, "Who else could it be?" ”
"Such a complex and ingenious machine, it must be our Lord Ye!"
Hear this,
The corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth trembled unconsciously, and the expression on his face also had a little bit of 'joy and sorrow'.
"Is that him?"
"Why is it him again!" ......
