Anyway, it's not a way to sit and wait, all the projects here are also advancing rapidly step by step, Xiao Tianjian stays here or not, basically it doesn't play a big role, at most it plays an incentive role!

So Xiao Tianjian didn't wait here, waiting for the drilling machine to be manufactured and put into use, after a little command, he took his entourage directly out of Shuangfeng Village, and did not let people see him off, and went straight to Dongye Town with a light car, and entered Dongye Town in a short time.

And here compared to the last time he came, it is much more lively, the people in charge of ironmaking are more than double the number of people in charge of ironmaking compared to the first time he came a year ago, and here is the same as Lotus Village and Shuangfeng Village, the New Year has not stopped, and the iron furnaces are still working overtime to make iron.

There is no other reason, although people attach importance to the New Year in this year, but in such a year, everyone is poor is jingling, if it is not for the criminal army to provide a large number of food for the people here to eat, it is estimated that let alone the New Year, even if it is a Chinese New Year's Eve meal, this is probably a very difficult thing.

Therefore, Fang Dashan, who is in charge here, does not say stop work, no one dares to stop work for the New Year, not to mention, Fang Dashan was ordered to improve the food on the first day of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the New Year, and reward the craftsmen here, the craftsmen can eat enough, and they have seen the meat, what else is there to complain about? Being able to eat a bite of meat during the New Year is stronger than anything else, which is considered to be the New Year in their minds, so the craftsmen have no complaints, so they rush to this mouthful of meat, and they continue to work overtime without stopping.

The old furnace head took a group of selected subordinates to inspect all the old iron furnaces in the town, selected the iron furnaces that could be repaired and put back into production, and began to repair them, so that they could resume production as soon as possible.

And the original furnace craftsmen also began to divide shifts, plus the new craftsmen, responsible for the production of the new iron furnace, so that the output of iron here in just half a month, it has increased by a few percent, all kinds of iron produced are also collected, and then wait for people to come to Shuangfeng Village, and transport these iron to Shuangfeng Village for use.

As soon as the old stove heard that Xiao Tianjian had come here to inspect again, he hurried over to pick him up, Xiao Tianjian first gave the old stove a small bag of fried beans, and then chatted with the old stove while walking.

"Back to the general, I didn't dare to rest for a while, old man! Look, look, I'm busy! No, there is another iron furnace, it will be repaired soon, and the day after tomorrow it will be able to be put into fire again, and this iron will be smelted faster! Is there anything else the general is not satisfied with? The old stove head was no longer very nervous when he saw Xiao Tianjian, and knew that Xiao Tianjian was not difficult for them craftsmen, so he said to Xiao Tianjian with a smile.

"Satisfied! Of course I was satisfied! Hehe! You've worked hard! Xiao Tianjian said to the old stove with a smile as he looked at it.

"This is still the general's benevolence! Not only did we eat and drink, but we also gave cloth to us furnace craftsmen in the New Year, so that each family could finally make a new dress! If it weren't for the general, this place would really be impossible to see, and I'm afraid that our gang would really have to work bare-chested! is still the general's benevolence and righteousness, and we people have nothing to repay the general, so we can only work hard! The old stove head followed Xiao Tianjian with his hands behind his back and said.

Xiao Tianjian sighed slightly in his heart, most of the people are still simple and kind, as long as you are kind to them, they can see it in their eyes, originally in the future, it should be a matter of course, but on these people, they regard it as their favor to them, and they will repay you ten times more than what you give them.

So he nodded and said: "You don't have to thank me, this is what you deserve, it's just that no one gave it to you before, as long as you continue to do it, the life of the big guy will get better and better in the future!" I, Xiao, will never let the big guy live like that before! ”

As they spoke, they took a turn around several newly repaired iron furnaces in the town, and the people here were both respectful and afraid of Xiao Tianjian, and as soon as they saw Xiao Tianjian and his party coming, they all gave up their lives.

Xiao Tianjian stopped and said to the old stove: "It seems that you have really made a lot of efforts during this time!" I Xiao has nothing to say, but next, it is not a way to repair these old furnaces, after all, it is still a small fight, far from catching up with the speed of the mines, so we will build a new larger iron furnace next, and strive to build a large furnace with a daily output of more than 1,000 catties, and build such a large shaft furnace, which is worthy of such a group of small furnaces, which not only saves ore, but also saves manpower, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!

So this matter still has to be the old stove you bother, and we can't just smelt this kind of pig iron, but also find a way to produce more wrought iron, in this regard, your old stove is a master, but don't regret the arts, as long as you take people to do this, then in the future, I will say ugly, I Xingtianjun will be responsible for giving your old stove to the end, and also promise not to let your children and grandchildren suffer from poverty! ”

The old stove frowned and said, "What the general said!" What kind of person is my old hearthman! It's just that this big stove with a daily output of 1,000 catties is very difficult to build, it will use a lot of people, and it will take a lot of effort, I'm afraid that the general won't be able to wait! ”

"What's the wait? You just have to do it boldly, tell me what you lack, and I will be responsible for solving it for you, whether it is manpower or material resources, it is not a problem! In addition, I will give you another idea, now I see that we make iron here, basically use coal, but also use some charcoal, it is better to find a place outside the town, make coal into coke, and then use coke to make iron, then the quality of iron will be better, I don't know much about this, I don't know if it will be successful? After Xiao Tianjian came here, he was looking at these coals and secretly pondering to himself, and finally brought it up to the old stove at this time.

The old stove nodded and said, "Then dare to be kind, I'll leave this matter to the old man!" As long as there is no shortage of manpower and things can keep up, it is not necessarily difficult to build a big furnace!

As for what the general said about smelting iron with coke, I know some of them, but no one uses them here, and I heard that some people in other places have already used this method!

If we want to make fine iron, we usually don't use coal, but use charcoal to fill the furnace, so that the iron smelted is better than the iron made from coal! But I've also heard that when iron is smelted with coke, there will be more good iron, and I don't think it's difficult to see this, we have people here who come from outside and know how to make coking, but no one listened to him before, so they all use the coal here to make iron!

This matter is wrapped up in the old man and me, please rest assured that the general can rest assured, as long as the manpower and material resources can keep up, at the latest, I will build a big iron furnace for the general! ”

"Good! Then there is Lao Lao Stove for you! Hehe! As soon as this matter is completed, I will invite you to Shuangfeng Village, while enjoying the blessings, while helping me in Shuangfeng Village, and helping to build an iron furnace over there, in short, I promise in the future that I will never let your old man suffer again!

As for this side, if you want to build a big iron furnace, you might as well stop the small iron furnace, as long as you build a large iron furnace, you can rush back in a few days! Do you think so? Xiao Tianjian laughed after hearing this.

After leaving Dongye Town, Xiao Tianjian calculated the time, there were still four or five days before the Shangyuan Festival, and he was idle, so he led people to rush to the villages where Fu Deming was busy.
