Comprehending, nodded slightly, and whispered, "I want to try." Copper, too expensive. ”

Gongzao said that this copper is very expensive, and according to the method you said, with gunpowder, it is much more expensive than a crossbow.

It's not time to actually do it, but since the last time Pei Ze made a loud noise, Gongzao Casting has brought a group of coppersmiths to try that thing.

Try more, understand deeply, and ask that weird question, and you will know what the right mind is pondering.

At most, they could only ask a rough question, and after asking a few small questions about the removal of impurities in iron smelting, the craftsmen were temporarily taken aside to rest.

The rest of the ink artists were all looking at Shi, and Shi spread his hands and said: "I only know the truth of this kind of thing, but if you really want to do it, it is difficult." ”

"But this ore can be smelted, so it shouldn't be a problem if you try a lot."

He said that it was not a problem, and he was confident.

Among the ink artists, there are many craftsmen and craftsmen.

The best carpenter in the world is here, and objects such as leather bellows are necessary for the ink master to guard the city and prepare the tunnels, and the ventilation can solve the problem.

There are also those who have worked as miners and miners in Dayeshan Copper Mine. And there are mining methods such as the fire method, which have not yet been used on a large scale, and the problem of mine support is not a problem to get the bronze civilization to this extent.

In the early stage of charcoal burning, in the later stage, soil coking was tried, and there were also charcoal burners among the ink makers; To make refractory bricks and ventilated pottery pipes, there are also potters.

The mold has a public smelting, public casting, these families can cast the bell people, even if they may not be able to make molds, but more or less can understand. In addition, it doesn't matter if you are prepared to wait until the iron is tapped, and directly go to the iron model that can be reused, and it is counted as starting from scratch.

Now, according to the appropriate suggestions and requirements, most of the ink practitioners who can do this work have been mobilized from all over the country and gathered together.

Mozi asked, "The people you want are here now." Tell me about your Xuanyi Ministry. ”

Shi said with a smile: "The affairs of the Xuanyi Department, everything is ready." The reason is clear, and all the villages and communities are also looking forward to using iron as soon as possible, although they have not seen it, but the credibility of our ink people is there, and they naturally believe it. ”

"There is only one thing, even if it is rotated in March according to the ratio of one person per team, it may be undermanned in a few years. In a few years, iron can be sold in all directions, and I am afraid that some people will have to be summoned from all over the world. ”

"I'm just afraid, it's not easy to recruit when the time comes. If you use the money to be distributed every day at this time, it is easy to recruit mining refugees elsewhere. ”

"It's just that once iron farming tools appeared, all countries recognized private acres, and the income from land reclamation was more profitable than workmanship......

Many of the people who listened to Shi often talked about this kind of production relations understood the meaning of Shi Shi, and after thinking about it, they didn't have any ideas.

Mozi said: "There is no rush in advance, it will take three or five years." We'll talk about that then. According to the method you said, in fact, the most difficult thing is within three or five years. In another ten or twenty years, the population will increase, and even if iron tools are used in the world, there will be many people who have little land and no dependence...... If you think like this, then in the future, such things will have to be solved, and this is not the only one? ”

"Don't think about it for now, I thought I could understand the rules of the world, but after listening to you talk a lot, I realized that the rules change from time to time, and they are endless...... Don't be like those remnants of the country, you have to worry about the continuous migration and even the fall of the sky. ”

"I'm seventy, and I'm afraid I can't see some things. Even though you are still young, there are things that you are afraid you will not see. But Lie Yukou said it well, the children and grandchildren are infinitely scarce, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to the descendants of infinitely scarce. ”

"He argues with you about the universe and the universe, and falls behind. But what he said about foolishness can be used. The ink man will be a fool, and the happy land is the two mountains of the Wutaihang Wangwu, not the emperor of heaven, but only the descendants. ”

Shi nodded, thought about it again, and said: "Now that the winter wheat has been planted, the houses have almost been repaired, and there is no martial arts in winter, and it is not too cold, it is just right to prepare for iron smelting this winter." ”

"The mine has been chosen, and a road has been built to keep the ink cart from muddy. Each township pavilion is out of people, and it should be completed in a few days. ”

Mozi smiled: "You don't have to worry about this matter." I guarded the five-mile city, 40,000 homes, and it was in order. The ink artist is not afraid of a large number of people, and a large number of people can also be forbidden. ”

"Slippery once asked me, 'What should I do to defend the city?' I said, 'Let every man have what he is good at, and the world should be in charge; Jun his duties, the world has everything; All of them like it, and the world is prepared; There are many strengths and weaknesses, and everything in the world is in charge'. ”

This is not only the principle of defending the city, but also the principle of governing the world. If it can be done, the world can also be governed, and the situation is in mining? ”

When Shi Yi heard this, he raised his forehead with his hand and said, "Sir, what you are pursuing is probably the last happy land." Everyone does what they can, shows their strengths, and does what everyone likes...... I'm afraid that even when I die, I may not be able to see it. ”

Everyone laughed and said, "Didn't Mr. say it?" There is infinite scarcity of children and grandchildren, we just can't see it, but as long as the Mo family doesn't die, there will always be ink people who can see it. ”

Everyone present was in unison, and was encouraged by Mozi's words just now, and their interest was even higher, thinking that iron tools would benefit the world, and they all felt that their thoughts of benefiting the world after becoming Mozi were finally about to be realized, and they could even faintly see the dawn of the new era from the inferences they made.

Thinking that I am in such a transformative and unprecedented era, my heart is full of the heroic spirit of benefiting the world, and I even speak with joy in my breath, without thinking about what I can see or can't see.

Seeing that everyone was like this, Mozi said loudly: "In this case, I will start doing this tomorrow." I have finished discussing with the Seven Enlightenments, and the three of you are responsible for this matter. The affairs of the village school are held slow for the time being, or they are reviewed, or they are taught by others, or they are marching in the procession. ”

"There must be a result of this before next spring. There is news from Shangqiu, there is no stability there, and I am only afraid that the chaos of the Xiao Wall will cause and hurt the innocent people of Shangqiu. ”

"In the spring, the work of dividing public land, changing private acres, measuring wasteland, and changing taxes also needs to be completed. By May at the latest, the wheat harvest must be rushed back to Shangqiu. ”

"Since the ink is here, the Chu people can't attack Shangqiu, and those nobles who don't care about the people and only seek power are not allowed to do things."

He said that he was majestic, and all the ink writers received the order in unison.

…………

In Xisang Township, at the home of the old man who had visited that day, the eldest son at home was packing his bags.

The second son is the spearman in the first row of the righteous teachers in Peiguo, and the younger son is studying in Peiguo Township School.

In addition to this constant relationship, once iron tools appeared, it was easy for such a family with a large population and labor force to rely on hard work to enter the ranks of wealthy yeoman farmers.

The Mo's idea at this time was for the handicraftsmen and the wealthy yeoman farmers, and the slaves had little to do with the Mo, and the Mohists did not represent the interests of the slave class and servants, but they hoped that they would become free handicraftsmen and yeoman farmers.

The younger sister was busy packing her eldest brother's bags, and the dried cakes baked by the fire were packed in a half-linen bag, and there was also a handful of salt and a large piece of bean cake inside.

The old man turned the ink cart over outside the house, turned the wheels, listened to the creaking sound, carefully poured hemp seed oil on it, and listened to the movement of the ink cart wheels with his ears sideways.

Turning around and seeing the little daughter there to clean up the food, the old man said with a heaval: "Pack more, although the ink man is looking for someone to do things, although he also gives money, he is only afraid of rough food, and the mill is too busy." If you are hungry at night, you can nibble on some bread and eat it in bubbles of water. ”

"If the bean cake is lit at night, it will be baked next to it, and it will be burnt and fragrant, and it will be the most delicious."

The eldest son smiled and said, "Dad, people say that the bean cakes will be fed to the livestock in the future." ”

The old man glared and said, "Later, that is later." Now our Wu cattle are still borrowed from the ink man, and the money is still a little short of being repaid. ”

Speaking of cows, the old man's eyes showed a warmer look than when he looked at his son, and he imagined: "I have harvested two seasons this year, and even if the tax is changed next year, I will live better than before." Next year, the good seeds of the ink can be distributed to some people who have done good deeds at home. ”

"We don't lack strength, and we have a lot of family, so we can repay the money of the cattle and horses of the same army in two or three years. When I went to the village that day, I saw that there were many more foals and calves in the field for cattle and horses, and I would buy one of my own in three or five years. I've already taken a fancy to one, it's the big bull of the rhubarb, tsk...... The little calf is ......."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but dance with her eyebrows, the little daughter covered her mouth and snickered, and the old wife who was spinning linen couldn't help muttering, saying that if others didn't know, they thought that the calf was matched by you!

The eldest son listened energetically, and his heart was so good.

The second brother and the fourth brother are all outside, and the second brother can still send back some money every month, so if there is really iron and his own cattle, then the days will be good.

There is still a lot of wasteland in the mulberry, and as long as there is strength, oxen, and iron, where is there no land? However, the ink has not issued a land deed to prove the opening of the field, which is worrying, and I don't know if the king can agree. If you really don't agree...... Hey, if you don't agree, then ask the inker what to do.

Seeing that my sister had finished packing up her package, she was struggling to tie the knot, but she couldn't tighten it, and pouted, "Brother, you come by yourself." ”

The eldest son smiled, turned the pocket with his rough hand, used it for a while, and immediately vacated a space, and the seemingly rough but flexible fingers skillfully tied a slipknot, put the pocket on his back, and walked to the side of the ink cart.

The old man turned over the inker, handed over a small gourd of hemp seed oil and said, "Sprinkle some often, the wood is easy to dry." It's worn out, although the ink maker will pay compensation, but they are all busy doing something else, who knows when it will be paid? If you give money, you can't get it. ”

The son reached out and took it, put it on the lacing, put the package on the ink cart, pushed a few steps to try the sound of the wheel, and was very satisfied.

When he went out, the family followed him to the door, and he turned around and said, "Go back, I'll go to the Xiangting and walk with the rest of the people." ”

"It's our turn to feed the cows next month, Dad, don't be reluctant to give up that bit of bean cake, if you are really hungry and thin, not to mention that the pavilion chief is going to question, it doesn't look good in the pavilion."

"I'll come back in three months, and it's not time to harvest wheat at that time, but I took a good look at a large piece of land next to the pond that day, and it happened to be cultivated. No, you can take a stone hoe in a circle first, I wrestled with people in the township pavilion that day, and I heard that the ink man may have to measure the acres of land next year. ”

"The firewood at home can be used at ease, and I will come back in three months, and then I will push a few carts. When it comes to manure, you must listen to the pavilion chief, don't mess around with yourself......"

"If you want to pile up nitrate, then don't hide your own compost for the time being. Next year, we will send out new seeds, don't do something at this time and it will not be our turn, and we will be resented by the team......"

He nagged a lot again, if he had to be scolded on weekdays, but no one scolded him today, he just said to let him be careful, but don't be lazy and make ink jokes.

Looking back, I always feel that there is something in my heart that I haven't told clearly, and I can't rest assured, but I don't know what to say, but most of them are beautiful or beautiful in case you can't grab them.

When he was thinking about it, the people of the same village shouted, so he didn't think much about it, and pushed the ink cart on the road.
