Chapter 504: Craftsman's Camp (1)
Modern people understand the importance of craftsmen, so as a department that Lin Ze values very much, the conditions in the craftsman camp are very good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
First of all, the place where they worked and rested had already been built very beautiful, sturdy houses, and the materials used to build the houses were freshly made red bricks brought directly from the brick kiln.
In the state of Chu, most of the rooms are made of yellow mud, and the use of materials such as red bricks to build houses is generally only possible for some large families, and now Lin Ze directly uses red bricks to cultivate the houses of these craftsmen, which makes these craftsmen's hearts grateful to Lin Ze, and of course, the loyalty of these craftsmen to Lin Ze is also increasing day by day.
In addition, the money that Lin Ze gave them was not low, so now these craftsmen have become Lin Ze's diehards.
In order to ensure the safety of the artisan camp, Lin Ze also built some defense facilities here, this time using not red bricks, but rocks mined from the stone mines.
After Lin Ze was ready to build a huge reservoir in the Half Moon Valley, he was ready to mine a few miners in his heart.
Of course, the best materials for building reservoirs are actually cement, steel and other materials, but here in Chu, where is there any cement and steel bar.
Cement, Lin Ze can be refined, but in terms of steel bars, with the degree of ironmaking here in Chu State, it is really difficult to refine.
Moreover, if you want to refine cement, Lin Ze first has to find the materials for refining cement, although these materials can be found everywhere, but it is not a simple matter to find them for a while.
What's more, if Lin Ze starts refining cement, it will need a lot of fuel, Lin Ze has not found any coal mines around Huangsha Town, so if you want to refine cement, you can only burn wood, but Huangsha Town is already a semi-desert area, and Lin Ze is too late to protect trees, where will he cut down trees indiscriminately and refine cement.
Therefore, although Lin Ze knew the great use of cement, as long as he did not find coal, cement and other things that consume a lot of wood, Lin Ze would not refine it.
Besides, the viscosity of the adhesive materials on the Shenzhou Continent is not weaker than the viscosity of cement on the earth, and it is even stronger.
The adhesive materials here in the Shenzhou Continent are generally added with the blood of some brute beasts, and the adhesive materials made in this way are extremely sticky, which is stronger than the strength and viscosity of military cement on the earth, so even if Lin Ze does not use cement, the reservoir he built is also extremely strong.
There are many mountains around Huangsha Town, so Lin Ze directly mined several stone mines on it, and the blue bricks and stones produced in these stone mines can not only be used to build reservoirs, but also can be used to build city walls or some defense facilities.
The safety of the craftsman camp is extremely important, so Lin Ze built some defense facilities directly around the craftsman camp to protect the safety of the craftsman camp and the craftsmen inside.
The craftsman camp now basically has the appearance of an arsenal, during this time, Lin Ze deliberately posted a recruitment list in the camp of the homeless camp, recruiting a large number of craftsmen for him, and now, nearly three hundred craftsmen have entered the craftsman camp to create weapons for Lin Ze, as well as some other iron tools.
Of course, in order to let these craftsmen work for themselves with peace of mind, Lin Ze allowed them to place their families in houses specially built for these craftsmen, and each craftsman was granted land, and the base amount of each person was thirty acres, and then, according to the strength of their own abilities, different fields were allocated.
At the same time, the family of each craftsman can also be allocated land, five acres of land per person, and even if it is a newborn person, there is a share of five acres of land.
As soon as Lin Ze's policy was implemented, in an instant, all the craftsmen settled down and worked hard for Lin Ze.
It's no wonder that these craftsmen will be very good at Lin Ze Center, you know, at the previous moment, these craftsmen were still precarious people, their families lived near the death line, and they could die at any time, now Lin Ze directly solved them from the situation of death, and gave them a bright future, as long as the heart is not black to the end, they will be grateful to Lin Ze and become Lin Ze's diehard.
What's more, it is good for ordinary people to have three or four acres of land, and now Lin Ze directly gave them at least thirty acres of land, but once they arrived in Huangsha Town, each family got at least dozens of acres of land, which is very unimaginable in the Chu State.
Although these craftsmen have a craft, many people can live well even if they don't have land, but these craftsmen still don't get rid of the atmosphere of small farmers in their bones, and having their own land is the common dream of people in this era or feudal society.
In the feudal society, whether it is an official, a businessman, or an ordinary person, the first thing they do after they are developed is to buy land, a large amount of land, because, in their hearts, land is everything.
These people who have left home and lost their homes, as long as they can live, are satisfied, and never thought that they would also own land one day, so when they got the title deed from Lin Ze's hands, most of the people in the capital were like in a dream, and they couldn't believe it, and they directly became happy, and all the craftsmen cheered.
For Lin Ze, the payment of nearly 10,000 acres of land is really a piece of cake for today's Huangsha Town.
Although there is not much land in Huangsha Town, the land mentioned here only refers to the land suitable for reclamation in Huangsha Town before, such as the semi-desert area, which is not counted in it at all.
If before, when there was no curved plough and no fire armor oxen as farming oxen, it was indeed difficult to reclaim these semi-desert areas, but now it is an easy thing.
The strength of the fire armor oxen is extremely large, more than ten times greater than the strongest cattle on the earth, so they can be used to plow the field directly more than half a meter deep, so that it is easy to turn the semi-desert area into fertile land.
In addition, Lin Ze is very prepared to locate the location of groundwater, which completely solves the biggest problem of water shortage, so it is not very difficult to turn the semi-desert area around Huangsha Town, or even the desert area, into treasure and reclaim real fertile land.
Therefore, now Lin Ze has more land in his hands.
With less than 10,000 acres of land, it is really nothing to Lin Ze.
Using some of the original semi-desert and extremely barren land to envelop some of the technicians he needed very much, Lin Ze felt that it was too worthwhile.
Lin Ze is very aware of the importance of these blacksmiths, if he wants to build a powerful army of his own, he needs countless weapons, which requires a large number of craftsmen, and the craftsmen are best at making all kinds of weapons, and even many blacksmiths also know the manufacture of some large equipment that Lin Ze does not know much about, so Lin Ze treats these craftsmen very highly.
For example, some of the master masters who led the craftsman battalion have been appointed by Lin Ze Zhila as the master craftsmen of the craftsman camp, with a salary equivalent to that of the eight-rank official, and at the same time, the children in the family can enter school for free according to their own rise, or practice martial arts, which solves the worries of these craftsmen from the root.
Lin Ze's treatment directly made the master craftsmen in these craftsman camps grateful, this kind of treatment was something they couldn't get in their hometown for a lifetime, not to mention the bright future of the land and their children?
As long as there is land, as long as their children can study and practice martial arts, these great craftsmen do not get paid, they are actually willing to work.
............................................
The news that Lin Ze was going to inspect the craftsman camp had already spread to the craftsman camp, so Lin Ze had just stepped into the gate of the craftsman camp, and Qiu Tie, the person in charge of the craftsman camp and the most skilled man, had already led a group of craftsmen to greet him outside the gate of the craftsman camp.
There is no official position of a craftsman battalion official here in the Chu State, but Lin Ze still decided to distinguish between experienced masters and ordinary craftsmen, so that these people have a greater sense of responsibility and honor, so Lin Ze simply set up some official positions by himself.
Depending on the official position, the clothes on the body are different.
In order to clearly show that this is an official position in the craftsman camp, Lin Ze directly asked people to embroider two crossed hammers on the official uniform, and under the hammers, different weapons were embroidered.
If you are proficient in making swords, embroider them, and if you are proficient in making swords, embroider them........ And so on, such a way of expression is absolutely concise and clear.
In addition, Lin Ze also implemented the corresponding military rank system in the craftsman camp according to the idea of military rank on the earth.
The average craftsman is directly a weapon that he is proficient in refining, and then he is a hammer and a weapon........ , and so on, until there are three hammers and three weapons.
It's like Qiu Tie, as the leader of the craftsman's camp, there are three iron hammers, plus three big knives.
The three hammers indicate that he is the head of the craftsman's camp, and the other three broadswords represent that he is the master of the craftsman's camp with the most skilled skills in refining broadswords.
And under him, it is divided into several groups, the team leader is two hammers, and according to their level embroidered with different numbers of weapons, like these group leaders, generally two weapons embroidered, and ordinary craftsmen are embroidered with a weapon, there is no hammer, and the craftsman apprentice does not have a weapon embroidery, and can only be promoted to a formal craftsman, in order to embroider weapons embroidered Wenxing.
Depending on the number of embroideries, the salary received will be different.
After the craftsman camp was built, Lin Ze hadn't actually been here a few times, but he had summoned Qiu Tie before, and gave him the drawings of the horseshoe and some other weapons that could be refined now.
