Chapter 1327
"Lianbaihu, what do you think of this Crescent Moon Valley?"
The scholar suddenly said: "There are more than 20,000 commoners, more than 3,000 soldiers and horses..."
These words were abrupt, and Lian Biao was at a loss.
"What about Emperor Taizu Hong Martial Sovereign?" The scholar asked another unfathomable mystery question: "Hongwu herded cows and sheep in his early years, worked as a beggar, worked as a monk, and created the Great Ming for three hundred years. Jiangshan."
Lian Biao was even more confused.
rays of light Blink in the eyes of the scholar: "You said, what about the adults compared to Hong Wu?"
Lian Biao was stunned.
"This..." He was dumbfounded. After a long time, he said: "Can't you compare?"
The scholar sneered: "Why can't you compare? The adults are brave, and Hong Wu can be compared?"
Lian Biao shook the head.
The scholar said again: "Adults are smart and treat commoners kindly. In my opinion, it can be compared to Hongwu. When Hongwu started out, he was only a small school of the rebel army. How many people did he have? The adults already have the foundation. The chaos of the country and the mountains is a good opportunity to fight for the future. Even Baihu, you and I are the cronies of the adults, the future heroes of the founding of the country, the lords and the generals, and the name is nothing difficult.”
Lian Biao was stunned when he heard it, and a heat flow faintly rose in his heart. He didn't know how biased the Xiucai's words were, but he was also very excited for Fenghou Bai's name to remain in history.
Yes, even beasts like thieves can have the momentum they have today.
People are ambitious, and they are always rolling in the dust, and ambition does not matter. But if you can meet the wind, your ambition can be realized, and it will naturally sprout and blossom. He couldn't help but recall the words of Xiucai, which made sense.
Isn't Taizu Zhu Hongwu also a grassroots in the dust?
Zhu Hongwu can start and conquer the world, but why can't Ying Yi?
Dragon Snake is hidden in the chaos of the chaotic times, and the Nine Heavens is in the wind and clouds. His heart was beating wildly, blood energy rushed to his brain, and his face was flushed.
The scholar looked at it with a smile, and said at the right time: "The future is bright, but we must take every step. You and I are old people who started from adults, and we must do our best to serve the adults carefully. When the adults Dragon Transformation, you and I will Naturally rich and noble for all generations."
Lian Biao, fiercely's nodded, looks like he wants to eat people.
At this moment, Uncle White came.
Sun Xiucai was overjoyed, and nodded with Lian Biao, and hurriedly took the lead to greet him.
......
May 13th, Ying Yi explained the military training, and the clerks in logistics and other aspects were also in place. Ying Yi went straight to the mountain.
The first stop is Bibo Valley.
Half a month has passed, and Bibo Valley has taken shape.
Er Niu, Pu Tiechui and Jiang Xi followed Ying Yi.
"The golden and fire-brand workshops started five days ago." Jiang Xi said: "On the first day, there were only 50 qualified gun heads forged, and the second day doubled to 100. The output is increasing day by day. As of yesterday, the daily output has reached 300. It is expected that the output will be further improved, and the total number of 3,000 gun heads will be completed in at most six days.”
Jiang Xi was one of the officials sent by Sun Xiucai to be in charge of accounting records. Three officials, headed by him.
Jiang Xi is also a scholar. There are not many broken talents like him in Yexian. Those with access to it all left on their own, but many were moved to the Crescent Valley along with them. Now he was recruited by Sun Xiucai to work for Ying Yi.
“Since the subordinates took office, so far, Bibogu Workshop has consumed 2,000,350 catties of iron materials, 15,000,800 catties of grain, and the final payment for silver taels is expected to be 200 catties this month. Twenty-seven twenty-eight bucks."
Ying Yi was very satisfied when he heard his billing statement, his words were clear and his words were well-organized.
The final consumption of iron, grain and silver did not exceed Ying Yi's forecast. Since the Jinzihao and Huozihao workshops were started, 800 finished gun heads have been produced, which cost less than a thousand kilograms of iron. However, the iron material consumption of the various tools required by the Early-Stage of the two workshops is higher than the consumption of the gun heads themselves in the past few days. It is inevitable that the workshop will start for the first time.
There are more than 200 craftsmen in Bibo Valley, including five-six hundred craftsmen's families who have all migrated here. And the labor work done by the craftsmen is all big-bellied men, and Ying Yi expected to eat a total of more than 15,000 catties of grain in ten days.
The estimated expenditure of the silver taels is also roughly in line with Ying Yi's expectations.
Before entering the Huozihao workshop, a fiery breath came over the surface. The main responsibility of the Huozihao workshop is smelting.
The smelting technology of this era cannot be compared with the mention on equal terms hundreds of years later. The Huozihao workshop has only two iron furnaces for the time being, and the limit of iron smelting is 1,000 catties per day. Burning wood, heating it with a blower, is labor-intensive.
Seeing Ying Yi and the others come in, the leader of the Fire Character Group hurriedly greeted them.
His upper body was bare, and his red skin was sweaty like oil.
"Sir!"
Ying Yi waved his hand and looked at the two iron furnaces: "The limit of the furnaces, one can only produce five hundred catties of iron material per day. Is it?"
The fire character team leader said: "I don't know. Because of the urgent need for gun heads, there is no time to build a larger and more delicate iron furnace."
"Oh. "Ying Yi understood, the urgency of the gun head, this is impossible. Asked: "The best iron furnace, how is the efficiency?"
"A daily output of 5,000 lbs." The iron furnaces there are smelting ore every day, and the output of iron is this number."
"The ore...5,000 lb a day..." This figure is put in hundreds of years later It can be ignored completely, but in this day and age, it is very difficult to deal with. The various Xia nations have gone all the way to the present. Although there have been repetitions in the past dynasties, the technology is advancing as a whole. From a purely personal handicraft workshop, it has now formed a certain assembly line scale and a large workshop. Don't think that there is no assembly line in this era, but it is not as regular as it will be hundreds of years later.
If an iron smelting furnace can refine 5,000 lbs of iron essence per day, as long as there are enough iron smelting furnaces to keep up with the ore, it should not be a problem to produce dozens of tons a day only in Bibo Valley. Of course, that was still a long way off for Ying Yi.
"Can the re-smelting of ready-made iron materials only meet this standard?" Ying Yi asked again.
To this question, Pu Tiechui on the side answered: "If you say back to the adults, the secondary smelting of pig iron and crude iron requires a strict formula. The formula for the secondary smelting of iron essence by Huozihao Workshop is Li Sansi's. The quality of the iron smelted in this way is higher, and the gun head can be directly forged. If thick iron is used, it must be beaten for more than ten times in the ancient way to forge a qualified gun head. The secondary smelting process is more efficient than One smelting of ore will take some time."
Ying Yi suddenly understood, this is probably similar to smelting alloys? This is a talent! He looked at Li Sansi, there was such a formula!
He said to Jiang Xi: "The recipe is extremely important, I won't take it for granted, and it cannot be used for free."
He turned to Li Sansi and said, "Artisan Li, you donate the recipe. , I will give you a reward. Fifty silver tael for the first time, how about it? For every 2,000 Ib of steel smelted according to your recipe, you will get another silver tael."
If you want a horse to run, you have to Feed the horses. People attach great importance to technology, often master and disciple or family inheritance. Once there is an accident, the technology is very likely to be lost. The fundamental reason is that the technology cannot guarantee the interests. Once the technology is spread out, it will soon spread all over the world, and the owner of the technology will not get a single copper plate.
